I have gotten plenty of other items from overseas without a problem over the past few months, and I have received other blu rays from Germany that were not released in the US.

What titles though? One thing that makes it really hard is (aside from pandemic shipping restrictions for SOME German sellers) some sellers won't ship FSK18 rated titles outside of germany. So once Amazon Germany annoyingly stopped shipping to Australia a couple of years back, other than eBay, they only place I could find that would ship here was mediamops. And due to the pandemic they don't ship many places at the moment. So Grooves and JPC either don't carry them at all, or don't ship here.

It's worth noting that the Extended Cut on Vudu contains a couple of additional scenes that aren't mentioned at the above link. This was the first time I had seen them as they also weren't included in the international version. (Or, at least, not in the one that I viewed.) The scenes amount to roughly a minute and a half of extra dialogue between Rambo and Maria during the breakfast scene.

09:31-10:20
After Rambo says Gabriela would like the new horse, Maria asks if the rain did any damage to the "canals". Rambo replies that they'll drain.

Rambo then begins reminiscing about how he used to sit in the same spot as a child and look out the window. Whereas it used to seem like the biggest place in the world to him, now it seems like the best place because "we're alone. No people, no problems." He adds that "outside that fence, you have no control."

This leads to the brief exchange in the theatrical version where he says Gabriela would make a great horse trainer and Maria reminds him that she's going away to college. (Even this appears to be an alternate take/angle from the theatrical version.)

10:37-11:08
Rambo continues staring out the window, fidgeting with his knife, then tells Maria he'll have breakfast later. He leaves and it cuts to the scene where he's picking up the flashlight to inspect the tunnels.

So are there now 3 versions?

UK/US Theatrical, International Extended and now a new US Extended Cut?

Guessing the new version is the official Sly-endorsed Stallone Cut.

Sly said on the commentary for Rambo 4 that nobody is ever totally happy with a cut after a year, which is why he went back and did the director’s cut for that film. Sounds like he decided to do a new cut of Rambo 5, so the new cut probably has more changes that haven’t been picked up yet. Probably some stuff removed and more stuff added.

Don’t be surprised if a new disc appears with a Sly commentary and more extras.

I have my doubts of a physical release in America.

Some items are available, and some aren’t. Again, it’s been this way since they started restricting shipping on certain items.

What would you rather have? The International Cut in 4K, or the US Extended Cut in regular old 1080p?

I can't find a copy of the German 4K Blu-Ray that will ship to the United States.

It's just because of COVID. I got mine from Amazon before all of this hit. You'll probably have to wait.

How long do you suppose it will take?

[Sky_Captain]

How long is a piece of string?

[TXMoviebuff77]

I haven’t had any issues with orders from Amazon, Best Buy or eBay. Bullmoose was late in a couple orders but it wasn’t a big deal.

This didn’t feel like a Rambo movie to me, I get he returned home but it was more of a revenge flick than anything about Rambo. Like an R rated Home Alone, but I still dig it cuz I love gratuitous violence lol.

[Hardback247]

I commented on one of Sly's official Instagram posts regarding Rambo: Last Blood, asking if the Extended Edition will get a 4K UHD Blu-Ray, and he "liked" the post!

[Hardback247]

On the other hand, he also "liked" another comment from someone requesting the Rocky V Director's Cut to be released officially, and I don't know if it's as possible.

[Sky_Captain]

I assume that everyone jumped on the German UHD earlier, when it was down to 20 Euro...

As I have the German Blu editions of the others, I jumped on the corresponding German version of Last Blood.

Ordered it midnight Tuesday, turned up here in the UK bright n' early Saturday morning. And all for £8.79.

You know what they say about those guys and efficiency...

[Sky_Captain]

I'll give them props, my copy was dispatched on Thursday and next Tuesday was the delivery date.

It's out for delivery today.

I have a favor to ask you. Jake99 said that the extended conversation between Rambo and Maria during breakfast is not in the international version of the movie, and is only in the "Extended Cut" on Prime, Vudu, and iTunes. Could you please confirm that for me?
