    5 out of 5 stars RAMBO TRILOGY ROCKS.......2007-07-12

    Rambo Series HAs been All time favourite of Mine... This Ultimate Edition is must to have for every Die Hard Fan of RAMBO. The Extras in First Blood & Rambo 3 are Decent but i think the Survival Mode is Little bit Childish, it would have been more Good if they had put some Behind the scenes instead of Survival Mode. Overall This Trilogy Pack is the best money can buy.

    5 out of 5 stars Rambo is a classic!.......2007-06-14

    The Rambo movies are still a classic! A must own for any action collection! The first one is definetly the best! But the second one is still great! And the third one has its moments. Some of Sylvester Stallone's most well know work! Classics! Great action movies!

    5 out of 5 stars RAMBO IS HOT!!!!!.......2007-06-08

    REALLY, I ORDERED IT FOR MY NEPHEW FOR HIS B-DAY. BUT I OWN IT ALSO.
    SYLVESTER STALLONE IS INCREDIBLY HOT!!!!!
    GREAT ACTION.

    4 out of 5 stars Stallone's Action Trilogy Entertains, But The Lack of Extras Annoys.......2007-06-04

    The Rambo trilogy was, for many, a symbol of the 1980s. Following the story of former Green Beret and Vietnam vet John Rambo, each of the 3 Rambo movies was a bit different in flavor than the others. For whatever reasons, the Rambo movies were co-opted by politics. Reagan infamously declared "Rambo is a Republican", much the same way he tried to glom on to "Star Wars" and Springsteen's "Born In The USA" as symbols to boost his own popularity. For others, the name "Rambo" became the symbol of what was seen as American ignorance and a "shoot first" attitude. These attitudes do seem to indicate some misunderstanding of the Rambo character, and even the movies. In any case, as the 1980s faded (and people began to react negatively to the Reagan era's now obvious facade of machismo), this association ended up hurting Sly Stallone's career, despite his ample abilities. It was unfortunate really, as Stallone has generally proven to be dependable in most of his work, such as his portrayal of the likeable loser Freddy in "Copland". It was Stallone's ability to infuse the Rambo character with a sense of humanity that was indicative of his work as an action star; this ability would prove useful in providing "Daylight" and "Cliffhanger" with somewhat believable action hero protagonists (but was sadly MIA in the turkey "Judge Dredd".

    The Rambo Trilogy was originally released on DVD, with a bonus disc chronicling the Rambo legacy. Unfortunately, this "Ultimate Collection" fails to include that bonus material, instead giving us a "Metavision" gimmick, which ultimately proves a poor substitute. The lack of extras is the biggest mark against this release. Thankfully, Sylvester Stallone's commentary on First Blood remains intact, and provides a remarkable amount of insight into the movie's creation and backstory. The commentary tracks on the other two movies, however, are not up to the same standards, in part due to the lack of any actor commentary.

    "First Blood" is probably the most different in tone of the trilogy, and focuses on Rambo's loss of identity after leaving the military. Drifting from town to town, Rambo finds himself alone and unable to fit into peacetime society. When small town sheriff Teagle (himself a veteran of the Korean War), played with consummate professionalism by Brian Dennehy, decides to throw Rambo in jail for vagrancy, Rambo's survival instincts are triggered by a flashback to his days in a Vietnamese POW camp. As a result, Rambo escapes to the mountains in dramatic fashion, and is pursued by Teagle and his posse. Naturally, the situation escalates as Rambo reverts to his commando training, and the well armed, but poorly trained locals end up over their heads. Rambo's old commander, Trautman, shows up to try to bring Rambo in quietly and without bloodshed. In the end, however, Rambo returns to town in explosive fashion, with the intent of making Teagle pay. Trautman finally intervenes before Rambo can kill Teagle, and Rambo, in an emotional climax, breaks down in tears, and allows himself to be taken into custody. "First Blood" is certainly more realistic and restrained than the later Rambo movies, and has an undercurrent of quiet tragedy in seeing a proud soldier being rejected not by "the commie left wing", but by Main Street America itself.

    While "First Blood" was more nuanced, "Rambo: First Blood Part 2" was was an attempt to create a sort of over-the-top, military piece writ mythic. This time around, George Cosmatos took the director's chair, with the script being written by James Cameron (yes, THAT James Cameron)and Sylvester Stallone, based on a story by Kevin Jarre. At the time, the Cold War had risen to a fever pitch. The movie involves Rambo being sprung from military prison by the government and his old commander Trautman, in exchange for participation in a recon mission in Vietnam to look for POWs. In Thailand, Rambo meets the shady bureaucrat Murdock, who is in charge of the mission. Once back in the jungle (after a disastrous air drop), Rambo meets up with Vietnamese rebel Co Bao, played by the beautiful Julia Nickson. Apparently, Ms. Nickson received a Razzie for worst debut performance in this movie; however, given the bad, stereotypical pidgeon English she was forced to recite, I doubt that Judi Dench could have done much better with the source material. When Rambo actually finds and rescues a POW, and brings him back to the rendezvous point, Murdock pulls the plug and strands Rambo in the jungle, where he is captured, and is subsequently tortured by Padovsky, a Russian commander who is in Vietnam for some reason. It's up to Co Bao to help Rambo escape, and before it's over, Rambo adds a few hundred notches to his kill count, and even blows up a Russian helicopter gunship.

    While the movie is pure Hollywood hyperbole, it is executed in a surprisingly epic fashion. This was before action movies had required clever catch phrases, multiple slow-motion shots of the same milk truck exploding, and other overtly self-conscious cliches. There is even a tidbit of criticism of the politics which led to the Vietnam War in the form of a veiled reference to the military-industrial complex, as well as some surprisingly artistic cinematography (such as the requisite tragic death scene). But let's not fool ourselves: this was not meant to be high art, but rather a high action movie, and it succeeds. Stallone's ability to effectively emote stands in bizarre contrast to Rambo's overly-muscled figure, and provides just the right amount of surreal affability to make the wholesale destruction watchable. Of particular note is Jerry Goldsmith's outstanding musical score, which is probably one of the most epic soundtracks I've yet to see in a military action movie.

    "Rambo 3", the illogically titled third entry, was released at a time when big budget Hollywood movies were becoming more formulaic and predictable, and it does show in the final product. The conceit this time is that Rambo is reluctantly brought out of early retirement at a monastery (of all places), to rescue Colonel Trautman, who was captured by the Russians in Afghanistan. This time, Rambo hooks up with Afghan freedom fighters to stop a ruthless Russian territorial commander. This movie simultaneously tries to be more tongue-in-cheek, and yet also more serious, with its sermonizing about the Russian occupation of Afghanistan. The movie works, but not as well as its predecessors. What's even more bizarre, of course, is watching it in the context of post-9-11 geopolitics, as some of Rambo's allies may have well gone on to join the Taliban, and help Bin Laden's terrorist activities. Fortunately, the action is still explosive, although by this point, it was starting to become a little too predictable.

    For the last few years, there have been rumors about a possible "Rambo 4", and it appears that a fourth installment, simply named "John Rambo", is finally officially on its way. It's unclear whether it will be able to make an impact in this day and age, or whether it will have the same "sheen of consummate professionalism" as the first 3. In any case, the movies are what they are: well-executed action entertainment. While the DVD extras are sparse (you know we all would love Stallone and Julia Nickson to be on the Rambo commentary track), the movies themselves work well.

    1 out of 5 stars Awful DVD's!!!.......2007-05-22

    First of all this review is not for the movies (which by the way totally rock!), but rather the horrendous DVD treatment that they receive here. I was shocked to find that there is not even a theatrical trailer, or anything that would give you insight about the making of the movies. Instead we are treated to "special ops features" which basicaly consists of clicking on a title such as "rambo's knife" and being taken to the scene in the movie where rambo gets his knife, which is often accompanied be useless info on the screen about the knife that can easily be obtained by watching the movie!!! It is a shame because I have so much love for these movies, and yet I feel like I got screwed with the DVD's. If I were you I would spend a little more money to get the older OOP DVD's. Anything has to be better than this.

    Tribute albums and concerts come and go, but America: A Tribute to Heroes may well stand the test of time. Recorded just 10 days after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the two-hour telethon has an appropriately somber tone; it's also refreshingly unpretentious and ego-free, with no audience and no onscreen identification of the musical artists or the actors and others who speak between songs. There are some passionate and moving performances by Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, Limp Bizkit and friends, Neil Young (the much-praised "Imagine"), and several more, easily eclipsing the couple of outright turkeys (the overwrought theatrics of Enrique Iglesias and Mariah Carey). To watch the program now, as the horror may have started to fade, is to be reminded of the extraordinary emotions the tragic events of 9/11 aroused; and while pop music may be superfluous in the big picture, its power to inspire and perhaps even heal is something to behold. --Sam Graham

    5 out of 5 stars Remember!.......2007-03-28

    We all watched this!! Now I can watch and NEVER forget the people
    to whom this makes tribute!!

    5 out of 5 stars An appropriate and well-performed tribute........2004-12-03

    I'm a New Yorker who witnessed the 9/11 attacks first-hand, and experienced the aftermath. I watched this tribute live when it first aired and I felt at that time that it was very respectfully produced, with some standout performances and very little in the way of "marketing" or promotion going on from any of the performers (with a few exceptions), as there so often is in these kinds of compilations.

    The performance I remember most is actually U2's rendition of "Peace On Earth/Walk On", at which point during the live telecast I admit that I completely lost it. There were other moving performances but this is the one that affected me, and the one that I remember - not only is the version on this DVD better than what was recorded on their CD "All That You Can't Leave Behind", the lyrics summed up the whole experience perfectly for me, and it was obvious that U2 as a band was deeply moved by the experience themselves. The montage set to their song "One" also greatly affected me, although this was not a live performance.

    As a tribute, this is probably the best that anyone could have done - the music is varied and the performances generally very good, and the tone is right given how close it was to 9/11. For me, it's a must-have reminder of that day, as I consider it part of my experience of going through 9/11's aftermath. It was a terrible tragedy but it's not one that we should forget.

    5 out of 5 stars A somber time capsule with great performances.......2004-10-26

    Although this DVD is almost two hours long, it seems to end too fast.

    An all star cast of celebrities weave stories which capture the tragedy, courage & heroism of September 11, 2001 in between a number of great musical performances. Although it's presented in a telethon format, this is a very touching concert and tribute.

    The brief stories, which are both tragic and inspirational will bring tears to your eyes while the musical performances are delivered with a somber intensity which vividly captures the essence of the mood of America during this very difficult time.

    The musical performances are just awesome. Most of the artists reworked their songs just for this telethon and the result is a creatively touching musical tribute.

    5 out of 5 stars Extremely moving.......2004-09-11

    As a 34 year old man, there will never be (God willing) a more significant, historical event to ever take place in my lifetime, than the events of 9/11. A couple of weeks after that tragic day took place, the telethon broadcast took place. It was carried on many, many channels and surely, the vast majority of Americans watched the program, and contributed to the fund. I cried and cried, as did my wife. While all segments were moving, the images I will always remember were those of Neil Young playing "Imagine" (which sparked a true, sincere spirit of an eagerness for peace everywhere), Tom Petty singing "I Won't Back Down" (which the title alone speaks volumes about this moment), and Julia Roberts honest, warm message prior to introducing an act. Thank you George Clooney for organizing such an amazing, historical event.

    5 out of 5 stars Beyond stunning.......2004-09-07

    I saw this telecast live, and was literally stunned. There were performances that I really got into, some that were awesome, and a few that didn't do much for me. But the music was the secondary part of this performance, really. The sheer depth of emotion shown by the speakers made it very clear that this was NOT just a commercial extravaganza.

    Most potent of all was Clint Eastwood - he literally sent chills thru me. He is never a glib guy, and is always in control, but he wore his emotions all over this night. From his "Unforgiven" coat to his words. Especially his words. He almost rambled, almost babbled from the overpowering rage he felt. Sheer, utter emotional honesty.

    This DVD is beyond compare.

However once Rocky was underway it was re-edited and released as Italian Stallion which was also Sly's nickname prior to Rocky. Sly plays the part of "Stud" whose world revolves entirely around sex, sex, and more sex, an interest he shares with his way-out friends and his girl Kitty who likes her men mean and muscular!

      Six hours of monosyllabic John Rambo high jinks, best savored in surround sound (for the bone-rattling explosions) and with your brain on pause (for everything else). Sylvester Stallone's second signature character, after Rocky, a seething ex-Green Beret killing machine, went from Viet-vet victim in the original picture, First Blood, flipping out over the ingratitude of his beloved homeland, to a muscle-bound terminator in Rambo III, mowing down Commies in the deserts of Afghanistan. You should consider bypassing the boxed set in favor of just the middle chapter, Rambo: First Blood Part 2, written by James Cameron and directed by George Pan Cosmotos. It's the most balanced and satisfying of the three films: Rambo is dropped back into 'Nam to rescue some POWs, and the action builds steadily in scale and ferocity. Each fireball seems to be bigger than the last. Of all the recent headbanger action movies, only the first Die Hard offers more bang for the buck. The underrated character actor Richard Crenna (a standout sleazebag in Body Heat), as Rambo's military mentor and staunch defender, is the series' secret weapon, providing some welcome human ballast. --David Chute

      5 out of 5 stars War Action + Sylvester Stallone = The Perfect Movie.......2006-11-29

      No one could have played the part of Rambo better than Sylvester Stallone. He fits the profile of an invincible soldier perfectly: his war-trained, war-stricken , ripped-out body; his serious, aggressive, and somber disposition; and his reputation of being a hardcore action-packer. If Stallone alone isn't enough to draw you to the movie, the action contained within is. From crashing helicopters, to explosive arrows fired from his compound bow, to highly explosive napalm bombs, this movie will keep you on the edge of your seat. A single viewing will not be enough once you have seen the series once. Inevitably you will want to see it again, so I recommend purchasing it.

      5 out of 5 stars Sly, Why Are You So Good...?.......2005-11-03

      Why are Sly's movies so great?

      1.) The face.
      Every time I watch a movie like Over The Top, I can't help but laugh. If you've watched the epic arm wrestling battle between Hawk and Bull Harley, you know exactly what I'm talking about. sylvester has that awesome face that only he can make... you know, the one that makes it look like he's taking one monster of a dump. Not only that, but while he's making the face he's usually grunting like he's taking one monster of a dump.

      2.) The voice.
      Sly's got that voice that draws laughs from everybody. There are certain phrases he says that can make me laugh no matter what mood I'm in. Sly's got some sort of wierd Brooklyn-ish accent that makes it tought for him to say his "r's" and his "th's"... as a result, "they" comes out as "dey", and a name like Adrian comes out sounding like "ADE-WIAN!" Here's a listing of some of my favorite Sly sayings:

      From Over The Top : "My hat, it's like a switch... when I turn it backwards, I feel like a machine. I feel... kinda like dis twuck back heah!"

      From Rocky : "ADE-WIAN!!!! ADE-WIAN!!!!"

      From Rambo - First Blood : "Dey dwew first bwood, not me! Dey dwew first bwood."

      From Judge Dredd : "I AM DA WAW!"

      3.) He's Rambo!
      Respect! This is the guy who portrayed John Rambo, the veteran from Vietnam who was harrased by law enforcement officials in a small town... arrested, for vagrancy! The movie was a classic then, and it remains a classic to this day. I don't care what you say, Rambo rocks the Casbah, and I wish Sly would star in another Rambo movie before he reaches his 65th birthday. Also, how many other R-Rated movies do you know that star a war veteran who is betrayed by his government, kills countless Vietnamese soldiers, pummels hapless small-town cops into submission, and shoots a government super-computer with a machine gun while going "YAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!" that managed to spawn its own children's cartoon and full line of action figures? NOT MANY! Despite Sly's appearances in movies like Driven and Get Carter, you can't hold those against him because Rambo overpowers the rubbishness of even those movies. If, for some reason, you get stuck watching Driven - which is a horrible, horrible show - just imagine how the movie would have been if Sly had acted as Rambo in that movie and you should be able to struggle through it.

      4.) Jack of all Trades.
      In the acting profession, Sly has done it all. He's an accomplished actor, script writer, and even director. He's starred in dramas, action flicks, and comedies. However, where sylvester has the most global appeal is the laugh factor. It doesn't matter if Sly's trying to be funny or not, any movie that Sly stars in is bound to get a laugh or two. Hell, Sly's funnier when he's NOT trying to be funny, as anyone who has seen 'Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot!' will tell you. You might laugh because of some of his stupid dialogue... you might laugh because of something he's doing in the movie that you imitate later (like sylvester lifting weights inside of his semi and doing exercises on his truck in Over The Top)... or you might laugh because he scripted and directed an entire movie that was just plain cheesy (Driven!). For instance, my first impression of Driven was that it was a terrible movie. However, after talking with my mate, we realized just how funny the movie was... simply because Sly wrote the movie expecting it to be taken seriously! With dialogue like this, it's pretty hard to take any movie seriously. Keep in mind that it isn't exact, but I'm not watching that movie again just to provide you with an exact quote.

      Sylvester as "The Hummer" Joe Tanto : You know what I'd do to get her back? I'd crawl!
      Sylvester's Rival : You'd crawl Joe??!?!?! You'd never crawl!
      Sylvester as "The Hummer" Joe Tanto : Ya I would crawl... I'd crawl till on my hands and knees till there's nothing left!

      Bottom line is, no matter what Sylvester does, we can always laugh at it, and that makes it a worthwhile endeavour to go to ANY Sylvester movie. Hey, Sly, we're laughing with you man, not at you. Really.

      5.) The 'dying breed' factor.
      For the same reasons as Arnold, you should make a point of seeing Sylvester's new movies while you still can. Sure, the old man isn't pumping them out as regularly as he used to and when he does, it's usually some stupid sappy love story under the veil of an action movie. However, you have to appreciate the fact that Sylvester was, is, and always will be one of the greatest action movie stars of all time.

      So take some time, rent a Sylvester and an Arnie flick tonight, and make sure to see their latest movies when they come out. You owe it to guys everywhere to support your local action movie star! The movie industry is already overrun with teenybopper movie stars and horrible teenage comedies... by passing up your opportunity the other weekend to see 'Collateral Damage' because your girlfriend wanted to go see Britney Spears' movie, you're only doing your part to see this hideous trend continue. Just remember that.

      Now, if you'll excuse me, I'VE GAHT TO GET OWDA HE-AH!

      5 out of 5 stars It's Rambo Dude.......2005-08-31

      It's just Rambo, and it's the Trilogy. It's a guy thing, it will never change.
