Customer Reviews

Poor treatment on Great Movies!
When Rambo first released on DVD, it wasn't even in a complete set. Each film came out individually, First Blood part 2 had some special features, but than the other two had nothing more than trailers. Than they released a special edition, which I thought was neccesary because it was given a good round of features. Now they release it again, so you would expect even more features right? Wrong! First Blood and Rambo III have some decent extras, but why First Blood part II hasn't evolved from the previous edition is anyones guess. The special edition set that was released prior to this one, had more documentaries, so is it really worth buying the ultra-edition just for the sake of a few minor changes. Since First Blood part II hasn't got any extras, I reccomend buying First Blood and Rambo III ultra-editions individually only if you'd a die hard fan. Who knows maybe in 5 years time, they will release a Super special edition, than another 5 years after that a Super duper special edition. Why didn't Artisan include all the features on the ultra-edition with the special? the reason is obvious, they just want to milk as much money out of the fans as possible by re-releasing the set. They did the same with Rocky and Terminator and a string of other movies. There is no respect for fans anymore, film merchandising is clearly based on profit than value for money for the consumer. Mark my words, next on the list is Batman and Titanic, which will be given the special edition treatment, forcing fans to keep returning to the shop over and over.

Meanwhile I love Rambo the films with passion, but the marketing of the movies is ridiculous.

Great Movies, Terrible Set
Hardly "ultimate"! Despite a couple nice features (unused footage and alternate endings plus a commentary by Stallone for FIRST BLOOD) the "extras" in this set are mostly a farce. The so-called META features are gimmicks that turn the movies into poor video games and make the films unwatchable. The previous Rambo Trilogy Special Edition (out-of-print but available used) had tons of worthwhile extras this set doesn't include. In short, this set is an ultimate waste of money.

Special Edition Vs. Ultimate Edition!
I LOVE the Rambo Trilogy, it is one of my all time faves. I own both sets and I would like to show every one the diferences between the two sets.

Round 1; Picture Quality: The Ultimate Edition gets the nodd here. When I watched First Blood on the Ultimate Edition I noticed the picture was clearer and cleaner than the Special Edition. Winner, Ultimate Edition!

Round 2; Audio Quality: I listened two both sets and I can't tell the difference. But, I will give it to the Special Edtion for providing DTS 5.1 audio. Winner, Special Edition!

Round 3; Special Features: Each set's features are good for diferent audiunces. The Speical Edition is more "Inside the making of Rambo." The documentery matriel is fun to watch and the trailers are great for nostalgia. While the Ultimate Edition is more "Inside the world of Rambo." The "Survival Mode" viewing option is fun to play with, and the deleted scenes are intresting. I usauly don't listen to comentaries so I can not comment on that. Draw!

Overall, I love both sets so enjoy!
