 DVD Verdict Review - The Rambo Trilogy: First Blood, Rambo: First Blood Part II, Rambo III
Not content to just be a loud action hero, Rambo instantly clicked with audiences as a solider, an American symbol and a guy who makes things go "ka-boom." Rambo became such an American icon of patriotism and freedom that he was even used in a speech by then-president Ronald Regan.
John Rambo is a film icon that everyone knows; you may not have seen the films, but when someone blurts out "I'm your worst nightmare!" you know exactly what movie series they're quoting.
Not surprisingly, Rambo III is the best of the transfers since it is far newer than the original two and was also given a much larger budget ($65 million, which was $25 million more than the studio wanted to spend).
