I'd love to see this redone from the DI with the extra footage newly transferred to match, don't get me wrongo, but if the re-release ends up using the same 4K filmout transfers then I'll be happy with that.

I......won't be happy with that but to each his own

First Blood director Ted Klotcheff is 92 years old now. Could they get him to record a new director commentary track before he passes?

I think a 92 year old is allowed to enjoy retirement and spend time with their family than recording hazy memories for a special feature.

It’s not unprecedented - Vincent Sherman was in his 90s when he recorded the commentary for Mr. Skeffington, as was Jules Dassin when he was interviewed on Night and the City. But I don’t think anyone owes us anything, even if they’re still alive.

Then why not have Adrian Grünberg do a commentary for Last Blood?

[DR Herbert West]

Stallone tracks for II and III would be nice.

I'm glad I held off on getting these movies. Rambo has been a favourite series since I was a kid. I really want a nice 4K set of these movies. Rambo 4 was amazing, but 5 left me a bit disappointed.

Is there any news at all behind the scenes on when will see the new 4k releases?

[BillBR]

Just got an announcement email this morning about new Steels of First Blood and Last Blood...is this some kinda preliminary stop-gap before the box set?

They do appear to have new disc art, but I can’t be sure if that means they are new discs, period. If only I could see them at a higher resolution.

If they say Dolby Vision + Atmos it'd be the new ones.

[DMRI2006]

The press release indicates these are the same old discs, i.e. just 5.1 DTS MA and a Spanish track for the audio on FIRST BLOOD.

Dang. What’s taking this new set so long??

The rare instance of good QC maybe.

[Eeeper]

Could someone explain why the older French steelbook for the trilogy states Dolby Vision on the cover? Is that an error? I'm about to take the plunge and just wanted to ask.

[2KDI]

Anyone got a update on the new box set? Held off on buying the current version in anticipation of the new version for over a year.

[batman2000]

Was the new set canceled behind the scenes just wondering since it’s been ages since we heard anything on this unofficially.

Still nothing?

They delay it another 6 months every time you ask.
