The dude is passionate. I respect that.

And I come back to Blu-ray.com and I see all those maggots in that thread, protesting me for a release date!

If it hasn't been mentioned before, does the French SteelBook of the first three movies have better compression than the UK or is it the same and do the foreign translated subtitles appear in the second and third movie where they should be or are they player generated?

October 22 is 42 anniversary of "First Blood".

Im hope that somewhere around this time this upcoming box which was discussed here, will be officially announced.

Fingers crossed.

I'm the one working on the upcoming LG Rambo set and I'm the source of both Geoff's and PeterTHX's info. Here's everything I can tell you at this point in time and, again, there will be no follow up.

All five films with both the theatrical and extended cuts of Rambo and Last Blood (Last Blood will be the final cut that appeared on Amazon).

New Dolby Vision grading on 1-3 (Rambo III is particularly in need of correction as it's colors are not only off, but it's highlights are terribly clipped. We're fixing that.)

Rambo III's subtitles are also being corrected and, while they'll be player generated, they're designed to match the font and timing of the optical theatrical subs. One thing to note about Rambo III's subs is that a lot of what people THOUGHT was subtitled originally, WASN'T. This has led to a lot of confusion about various releases missing them and one of the Blu-ray releases actually ADDING them when they weren't there theatrically. We're fixing all that and if it was subtitled theatrically... it'll be subtitled on the UHD.

1-3 have all been given brand new Dolby Atmos mixes. Part II, in particular, has sounded terrible for 20 years. We found the original 70mm 6-track mag for Part II and that was the basis for the new Atmos mix. But each of the first three movies will include: Theatrical Stereo PCM, TrueHD 5.1 (the 2002 mixes for First Blood and Rambo III and the unaltered 70mm 6-track for Rambo II) and the new Atmos mixes. Rambo: First Blood Part II sounds INCREDIBLE now... both it's original 6 track mix and the new Atmos. It's night and day and probably the thing I'm most excited about with this set.

We're looking to include EVERYTHING that was ever created for any of the various Rambo releases (globally) in the special features department. We're also creating a few new bits and one of those is dedicated to the original Drew Struzan art.

This release has been my baby for over a year and I've been dedicated to making sure this gets produced from the perspective of a fan and the Ghostbusters set that Sony put out earlier this year has been the model for this all along. Packaging is likely to be more of a gatefold style, but we've also secured the original lobby cards for the first three films and I'm hoping to talk to the studio into also including preprinted case inserts that use all the "style A" artwork so you could migrate the set to traditional cases if desired.

Everyone is completely committed to making this the very best Rambo set ever released which is why we missed the First Blood 40th (which was the plan) to give ourselves enough time to get all the details right.


So... that's it and that's everything that'll be said for now.

I'll stick with the UK StudioCanal trilogy Blu-rays (with the same gorgeous cover art as the 4Ks) and hold out for this future release.

The 4Ks have been on offer a couple of times here in HMV stores, but if I know that bigger and better is coming (colour fixes for Rambo III and accurate theatrical audio for First Blood Part II in particular) then I'm more than happy to wait.

As someone currently living back with family and with a very basic setup (PS5 and an LG UHD monitor), I prioritise transfer and audio accuracy over things like Dolby Vision and Atmos - luxuries that I don't have the ability to enjoy at present.

99.9% of the time I'm watching movies with my Sennheisers on rather than using any kind of speaker setup, so the PCM stuff with First Blood Part II sounds well worth the upgrade for me.
