	DVD Times: Region 2 Reviews: Rambo III (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Rambo (Stallone), presumably sickened by the violence that has thus far defined his existence, has wandered off to a Buddhist monastery to do odd jobs.
		Anyway, Rambo refuses and Trautman goes off to Afghanistan on his own, where he is promptly kidnapped by the wicked Russian Colonel Zaysen (De Jonge), he of the mad staring eyes.
		Rambo III is easily the daftest film of the trilogy, although its more acceptable as mindless entertainment than the troublingly flag-waving part 2.

	‘Rambo III’ (R)
		To say that "Rambo III," which was directed by Peter MacDonald (who served as second unit director on "First Blood II"), is back-to-basics filmmaking would be a misstatement of the facts; not even the basics have been grasped.
		Actually getting Rambo in the mood to fight is one of the staples of the series; he's skittish, this grenade launcher, and has to be properly motivated.
		To claim that the Rambo films have a political attitude is to dignify what is essentially a kind of reactionary paranoia.

	Rambo III (1988)
		Since the Rambo films play well overseas, Rambo III ended up in the fl with a worldwide take of $189 million, but it nonetheless had to be a considerable disappointment for its producers, and it apparently killed the franchise.
		Rambo became an archetype in the first sequel, but here he turns into nothing more than another generic action hero, replete with silly one-liners and unbelievable action sequences.
		Rambo III appears in both an aspect ratio of approximately 2.35:1 and in a fullscreen version on this double-sided DVD-14; the widescreen image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.

		RAMBO III, which could be called Rambo in Afghanistan, is set in 1988, near the end of the Soviet Unions involvement there.
		Rambo, whose complexion is a deep crimson throughout the film, scales cliffs with his bare (bleeding) hands, and defies husky guards and scores of heavily armed Russian soldiers.
		But perhaps the most memorable scene of the film is a close-up on Rambo, alone in a dimly lit cave, where he removes a bullet from his stomach and then performs a dazzling medical trick with the leftover gunpowder.

		Rambo, in return, wipes out his entire platoon of soldiers and then makes one final point with a tank.
		"Rambo III" was directed by Peter MacDonald, who was the 2nd Unit Director of "Rambo: First Blood II." A superior 2nd Unit action director, MacDonald was recruited to helm the film when Russell Mulcahy, the original director, left the film.

		Rambo is initially counting on the locals' help in freeing Trautman, but after a particularly devastating attack on their camp, the rebels decide to pack-up and put some distance between themselves and the Russians.
		Rambo III is presented in Widescreen, 16x9 Enhanced, in a ratio of 2.30:1.
		As stated in the synopsis, the locations in Rambo III are brightly-lit and beautifully photographed, and this has transferred nicely to digital, and the Widescreen presentation lends it an "epic" look which helps add to the idea that this is supposed to be Rambo's big finale.

	Filmtracks: Rambo III (Jerry Goldsmith)
		Rambo III: (Jerry Goldsmith) When this score was originally released with only a few tracks of score and an abundance of songs, Goldsmith fans put their fists up in the air and swore they wouldn't quit until Rambo III was re-released.
		Many of the synthesized accompaniments in Rambo III are similar to those in Under Fire, entailing delicate and precise placement.
		Overall, Rambo III is the type of high-quality action score that disappeared with the 1990's.

	RAMBO SPECIAL EDITION TRILOGY DVD COLLECTION
		As an ex-Green Beret, Rambo may be able to fashion a crossbow from a tree branch, but one for Kodak Moments he's not, and so he takes it upon himself to rescue his caged comrades--much to the chagrin of a bureaucrat, natch, Special Ops man Marshall Murdock (jut-jawed Charles Napier).
		Given that it is, for all intents and purposes, Rambo's last screen hurrah, I like the film's sense of symmetry, as well as its satirical bent: in its climax, Rambo and Trautman are ordered to surrender by the Russian cavalry, to which an unfazed Rambo responds "Fuck 'em" before pulling the trigger of his MK-123456.
		But First Blood, Rambo: First Blood Part II, and Rambo III have their rhymes and refrains (Rambo attending to his own mortal wounds, for example), and they often choose imagery over expository dialogue--they're not given their due credit for how thematically evocative they are with a minimum of dialogue.

		Rambo is a trilogy of popular action films based on the characters created by David Morrell in his novel First Blood.
		The sheriff tries to "hunt" Rambo down; however, Rambo is better trained for this, and continuously eludes the posse (forced to kill one of his pursuers who was firing on him against police protocol, and maim others in the process).
		The third movie sees Rambo going to Afghanistan to rescue Colonel Trautman, who was captured while trying to document the atrocities of the occupying Russian army on the local forces, so the US government would aid them.

	'First Blood', 'Rambo II' & 'Rambo III' - Laserdisc Reviews [SMR]
		So, 'Rambo III' is announced and everyone (critics, that is) is set to savage it, only to discover that it turns out to be, possibly, the best of the three films.
		While no one is likely to mistake the Rambo films for great 'cinema', they provide more than their share of escapist entertainment and take their rightful place among the elite of the action genre.
		The transfer on 'Rambo III' is at least as good as 'Rambo, First Blood Part II', though colors are a bit more muted but the image is, if anything, even sharper and cleaner.

		Audiences now loved John Rambo as much as they did Rocky, but after Rambo III was released in 1988, so Stallone's descent on the box office ladder had begun.
		Rambo III exploits the comic-book image of John Rambo for all its worth, and with literally explosive results.
		This Rambo is a champion for peace, to prevent future wars, and to prove that all conflicts can't be solved with mindless violence...who just happens to fire explosive arrows and can kick an entire Russian army's collective ass and walk away with little more than a splinter.

	At-A-Glance Film Reviews: Rambo III (1988)
		Rambo III is as much of a remake of its predecessor as its sequel.
		This time John Rambo is singlehandedly defeating Russians in Afghanistan, rather than Russians and Vietnamese in Vietnam, and he's rescuing his own commander, Colonel Trautman, rather than nameless American prisoners of war.
		Rambo: First Blood Part II was hokey but had its moments; Rambo III is just tired.

		The series ended here with "Rambo III," a disappointment at the box office when it failed to make back one of the largest budgets in movie history at the time.
		Unable to accept his commander and friends are held behind enemy lines, Rambo agrees to go in with minimal help to rescue the hostages.

		Rambo, who had refused to go with Trautman because he is in Thailand becoming a Buddhist, now heads for Afghanistan on an unauthorized rescue mission.
		"Rambo III" has the formula down, which is a way of saying the plot is totally predictable and an excuse for a whole lot of explosions.
		Rambo is the most buffed up Buddhist the world has ever seen and I have a minor theory that he has the whole Sampson thing going with his hair getting longer in each movie.

	Rambo III - Movie Tome (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Sylvester Stallone, who can't seem to draw flies unless he's playing Rocky Balboa or John Rambo, went back to the Rambo well (or septic system, as it were) to show his well-known solidarity with the Afghan freedom fighters who battled the Soviet army in the 1980s.
		This time it's personal: his handler, Richard Crenna, is captured by the Evil Empire and so it's up to Rambo to leave his work in a monastery in Southeast Asia (oh, puh-leeze) in order to rescue him from the Ruskies.
		It was because Rambo took them on single-handed and kicked their hammer-and-sickle heinies all the way back to Moscow.

	DVDork.com - Rambo III Review
		While most agree that "Rambo III" is the weakest of the 3 movies I did find it a pretty good action movie.
		It seems in everyone of these movies we have Rambo stitching himself up in his own form of first aid and this one is no different.
		While the rescue of Trautman came off in typical "rambo" style it doesn't end there as the Soviet commander, Col Zaysen (Marc de Jonge) is out for revenge as he is not used to being played for a fool.

	Rambo III
		Trautman is to lead a mission to aid the mujahedeen rebels fighting the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, but the Buddhist Rambo turns his friend down.
		When the mission goes awry and Trautman is subsequently captured and tortured within a prison fortress, Rambo launches a rescue effort of his own, armed with his trademark bow and exploding arrows.
		At the time of its release, Rambo III — released in the same month in 1988 that Russian troops began withdrawing from Afghanistan — was the most expensive film ever made, at $63 million.

		Ahh, Rambo III Such a guilty pleasure - a nostalgic trip to childhood when I used to run around shirtless with a bandana around my head armed with a Nerf bow and arrow (wait, that was three days ago.).
		Rambo III concludes Jerry Goldsmith's First Blood Trilogy.
		In contrast to the jungle setting in Rambo, Part III takes place in Afghanistan and Goldsmith associates Rambo's new environment with a new theme which can be heard in "Afghanistan" and "Questions"- giving the score a bit of a Middle-eastern feeling.

	filmcritic.com Movie Review: Rambo III
		Regardless of how you feel about the First Blood series, you have to hand it to Rambo III for pulling off one of the most inventive title switcheroos in Hollywood history.
		Of course, 15 years later, Rambo's venture into this hostile territory seems almost educational, and in fact, the DVD includes a short film contrasting Rambo III's history lesson with the current-day reality of the area.
		Of course, little of this changes the fact that Rambo III is a movie with little more than a body count on its mind.

		Reported at the time of its making to be the most expensive film ever ($63 million, not including Sylvester Stallone's $20 million salary), RAMBO III wound up in the hands of RAMBO II second-unit director Peter MacDonald on 48 hours notice, following the firing of original director Russell Mulcahey.
		With an unusually troubled production history in which many of its crew were fired--mainly due to "differences" with cowriter Stallone--the movie is so rudimentary in concept and presentation that it actually manages to be boring during its lengthy scenes of mass mayhem.
		Though less offensive than its predecessor, RAMBO III -- which is dedicated to "the gallant people of Afghanistan" -- is still a mindless and uninspired effort.

		You'll know the 'plot' then Colonel Trautman (of Rambo's I and II) is caught by Russian soldiers while on a mission in Afghanistan.
		You're in the fort's external compound, and the guards now know that you're armed and extremely dangerous (they obviously didn't see the first two Rambo films, or they'd have known that already) and are pursuing you.
		Rambo III's packed full of action, the graphics are quite nice (especially the tank bit) and there's plenty to do.
