First Blood / Rambo: First Blood Part II / Rambo III 4K UHDs (1982-1988)

[Snikt]

I actually like them all except 3. I find it a little boring (except his stick fight ).

I like Last Blood more now that I've seen the Extended Cut via the German 4K disc.

The added prologue and follow-up scenes, while uncomplicated in their intent, do add to the overall story and come full-circle to Rambo's character later. It's a more rounded version of the film that should have been released in the first place.

The German 4K disc doesn't have the extended breakfast conversation as seen in the extended cut that can be streamed on iTunes, Amazon, and others.

These extended cuts are all news to me. I just watched my 4K theatrical disc, kind of sucks to know I’ll have to rebuy anthother (hopefully 4k) extended disc. Excited to see the extra material though I’m not interested in streaming.

Can't take anyone seriously who thinks 5 is a good movie, much less better than 2 and 3. It's direct to video trash masquerading as a theatrical release, and an insult to the rest of the series.

Indeed, I've viewed that scene elsewhere separately and I presume it replaces another conversation as seen in the German 4K disc. If that's the case, I prefer the original Extended Cut scene personally.

I must be the only one who definitely prefer the leaner US Theatrical Cut.

THIS, absolutely. First Blood is a brilliant, unsurpassed classic. Rambo 4 is a phenomenal action film and the most brutal in the series, taking it right up near the top. Part 2 has some of the classic vibe that made First Blood so great. Rambo 5 is a solid action/revenge film in its own right and reveals a somewhat credible evolution of the character. All of the Rambo films have always been about revenge, directed at one group or another, anyway. And Rambo 3 is just enough overly cheesed up that it lags behind the other sequels in terms of content and quality, earning it last place, but the first half still dishes out enough classic Rambo vibe to make it worth owning, before deteriorating into over-the-top hollywood silliness. Still, even in last place, it's a classic Rambo that has to be in the collection.

And while we're at it, Rambo 1 and 2 on 4k UHD are $7.99 right now on pre-Black Friday blowout, once again. I just grabbed second copies for my collection. That's cheaper than a couple of boxes of surplus ak-47 ammo, and lasts a lot longer, too.

I decided to grab Rambo 1-3 on 4K this morning . And The Incredible Hulk. Couldn’t turn down 4 UHD blu-rays for $7.99 each

Anybody have RFB part II slipcover and would be willing to part with it please PM me.

Is the 3rd cut of Rambo 5 exclusively available on 4K UHD? That's the only cut I've not yet seen.

No, I believe it's only available as a special feature with the digital release of the UK/US Theatrical.

Hm, makes it certainly special.

What's the run time of it?

Thanks.

The conversation on the German 4K disc is actually how it plays out in the US theatrical cut.

1 hour 41 minutes.

Does anyone know if the UK UHD disc of Rambo III is fully uncut (thinking about the horse falls)?
Are there any differences between the US and UK discs of any of the Rambo films encode-wise? Sorry if that's been asked and answered already (likely...).

Thanks in advance!

it was discussed on here that the 4K UHD of Rambo III still carries the censorship

I got the Nordic version from rarewaves and confirmed that it's uncut and has English subtitles for the translation parts.
