| A Nice Set-But I Still Prefer the Old One | 2009-01-07 | 5 / 5 |
|
This is a great boxed set, but I find myself liking the older set a little better. Each set seems to contain features that you cannot find on the other. Considering the size of the box this one comes in, I would have anticipated that they would have included pretty much everything you could ask for in this set. But they did not. Don't get me wrong-it's very nice. It's a first class collection. But if you are a Rambo fanatic, you'll probably be better off buying both.
One thing is for sure-this one comes in a much better container. Those of you who own the older set will understand what I mean when I say that the 'box' on that one is borderline to being dangerous.
Like I said, this is an excellent set for any Rambo fan. Just don't let the size of the collection fool you. It doesn't contain every single feature from previous releases. |

| This set is hard to find. The only set I was able to find in retail stores is the one 'without' the last movie. This is the only place I found it and just in time for Christmas (I got a pug as a gift and I named him RAMBO!) The movies are great and the presnetation is well done. I know these flix are always on TV, but it's nice to just sit and watch all the way thru without editing and interuptions. ;) |

There's nothing more I could add to how great the "Rambo" legacy is. These movies are all very important to what are Hollywood "must-haves."
But, what really makes this collection better than all the previous box sets is the sixth disc. The loaded "special features" DVD. You get to hear from former special forces agents and retired Vietnam vets and what their take was and what missions they've participated in while in Vietnam. Plus you get a documentary on Ronald Reagan and his take on his admiration of the John Rambo icon.
But, what I really found interesting is what the war in Afghanistan was all about. How we went in to get the Russians out, but then left the country poor, devastated, and helpless which allowed the Taliban to finance it's future in away that promoted the "axis of evil" yet to come.
This was a very interesting "Veteran's Day" for me. These documentaries were a wealth of information of subjects about war that many of us never really understood before, and therefore, never fully understood why Bush keeps this war alive in Iraq. Don't get me wrong. I'm not backing Bush. He still failed our nation in many ways (the economy, poor war planning, securing his re-election by tampering with the voter ballots in Florida, supporting the profiting oil industry, etc.) but I wish he never started this war the way he did. (Remember, it all began with Saddam Hussain, which is no longer a concern).
I didn't mean to drift here, but John Rambo represents a very important icon in pop culture. As a hero, and as a man in great emotional pain.
I'd even welcome a "Rambo V" if they ever thought about it. |

| No subtitles. | 2008-09-05 | 4 / 5 |

| I was surprised that English subtitles weren't included in the first 3 Rambo DVDs as the 4th Rambo includes English captions. A waste that captions were missing for a re-packaged box set of Rambo. |
