Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985) is my personal favorite action movie of all time. The quintessential pure bad-ass action movie that I call it. This is my favorite bad-ass pure action film of the 80's I cherish and I love this film to death. Sylvester Stallone's best movie he ever made this is one man against an army. Rambo: First Blood Part II is my number 2 film in the Rambo series. I watch this movie as a kid constantly on VHS it defines my childhood. I have this film on DVD and Blu-ray disc.Rambo: First Blood Part II is the sequel to the classic First Blood. Sylvester Stallone returns as John Rambo, the former Green Beret who is given the opportunity for a Presidential pardon if he accepts a mission to confirm the existence of American POW's captured during the Vietnam War. The film proved to be a massive blockbuster and launched the character of Rambo into the popular culture. Directed by George P. Cosmatos and screenplay was written by James Cameron and Sylvester Stallone. James Cameron wrote a beautiful screenplay with many action scenes. That Is why the movie has ton's of action just like Aliens and Terminator 2: Judgment Day who are really popular action movies. Sylvester Stallone wrote a politics which he meant they were important.Richard Crenna reunites with Sylvester Stallone for this sequel and his character Colonel Sam Trautman is much better well portrayed and acted then he was the first movie. Charles Napier as Marshall Murdock was memorable bad guy and I love those two actors. When Colonel Sam Trautman talks to his nemesis Marshall Murdock is memorable in my opinion. Jerry Goldsmith made a beautiful music score for the film that I enjoy it so much. We also have Steven Berkoff, Julia Nickson and Martin Kove in this movie. I love Aliens to death it is my favorite Sci-fi action film and I also the same time I love Rambo: First Blood Part II the same time and I think it is a classic for the 80's. The film was box office hit. It was competitive with Commando who come the same year and Commando wasn't that successful. This movie is better to me than Commando. The sequel is my favorite action film it has tons of action and multiple explosions: Rambo with his Hoyt Archery compound bow with his explosive arrow C4 tips is memorable. I love Rambo's new survival knife and he is Rambo, his knife completes him. Rambo blows up a soldier with a bow and arrow C4 explosive tips my favorite scene in the film. Rambo blows the army's vehicles with bow and C4 tip arrow bad ass scene. Rambo uses a rocket launcher RPG-7 and destroys the Vietnamese boat. Rambo uses a shotgun and blows pirates to pieces. Rambo fly's the helicopter and destroys all the bad guys blows them to pieces, he rescue American POW's and he saves them, he did not forgot them I love the rescue mission. Rambo uses M72 LAW launcher and destroys Lt. Col. Podovsky helicopter to pieces. Action adventure fun with some substance . Different than the first one , but great as an archetypical good versus bad movie. Very decent, good movie, very entertaining, fast paced wonderful action Hard-R fight scenes and some nice one-liners war movie. There's no shaky cam or CGI here but real explosions. Bad-ass action film I absolutely love it to death! 10/10 Rambo: First Blood Part II it is my favorite number 2 action movie.

Sequel to the awesome First Blood, First Blood Part II revolves around John Rambo is sent into Vietnam to take pictures of a supposed abandoned POW camp. When he finds that the camp is still operational, he liberates a POW and subsequently gets betrayed by the men who hired him to get the job done. After this, he takes matters into his own hands and takes on half the Vietnamese army and a squad of Russian troops and attempts to rescue the other POWS's. First Blood Part II follows the events of the first film and the mission that Rambo goes on is a chance for him to get pardonned over the events of the first. First Blood Part II is a solid sequel that offers everything you'd expect from a Rambo film. Sure some aspects of the film are silly, but the key words you need to remember is this is a Rambo film, you should expect something over the top. The film delivers the usual top notch action thrills with decent acting, but as usual it's not anything great. But what do you expect in the acting department of a Rambo flick. Though lacking in some aspects of the picture, the film more than makes up for it with it's action. Thats the reason why Rambo films are excellent, the nonstop action. The filmmakers know how to craft a solid actioner, even at times if it's not truly perfect, there are a lot of things going for this film that surpasses the low points. As far as action films are concerned, First Blood Part II delivers everything you'd expect and more. First Blood Part II is an underrated film that doesn't deserve the flack it has received. Sure it's totally different, but there's an interesting plot to keep you entertained. Even if the plot is average, the action is flawless and its what makes this film a blast to watch again and again.

Say what you will this is still a pretty great movie, not sure why the critics hate it so much. I hadn't seen it in years and had an excellent time watching it again, just a classic. John J Rambo is such a fantastic character; silent, abused, angry and tortured. The movie is filled with extreme action sequences and the body count is high but its kinda awesome. It's also a much bigger movie than 'First Blood' in every way; bigger budget, bigger stakes, bigger body count, bigger hair and muscles.I will admit that at first it did feel a little on the cheesy side, as most of those 80's action movies do now, filled with big bright explosions, bodies being thrown through the air, our hero in tight fitting jeans but its stood up pretty well considering.Part ll finds John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) doing hard time in jail when his former boss, Col. Troutman (Richard Crenna), shows up and offers him a deal. The US government needs someone to travel to Vietnam and try to find American prisoners of war, if Rambo agrees his criminal record will be expunged. Rambo takes the assignment but his anger reaches explosive levels when it turns out that the whole mission is just PR, he's not actually supposed to find any prisoners. Fueled by fury, he rounds up the POWs and the action reaches explosive levels as he then takes on both the Russian and Vietnamese armies.There were several things I loved about this movie; the use of the crossbow, that Rambo was shirtless for half of it (Sly looks amazing). I loved that he got to be in love for a whole 2 minutes "You not expendable Rambo". There are also some great helicopter stunts, the torture scene is pretty cool, a good bad guy with the Russian and although Rambo never says much when he does look out, this is filled with some great one-liners. And that ending I loved that he just walks off ... "How will you live?" "Day by day." 12/15/15

Nobody can deny that Rambo: First Blood Part II is still an enjoyable action movie to watch 30 years on. This time audiences are cheering that the now iconic John Rambo waging a one man war on the bad guys. First Blood (1982) saw a tormented John Rambo symbolically wage war on society following his mistreatment from the small town sheriff's who dismissed him as just another drifter supposedly seen as a troublemaker. This time, John Rambo has the chance to redeem himself.Rambo: First Blood Part II opens with John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) in prison after the events of the first movie. While hard at work with prison labour, his former commander Colonel Sam Trautman (the late Richard Crenna) visits Rambo and offers Rambo a top secret mission in exchange for a pardon. The mission: to locate American POW's in Vietnam which have since been long forgotten. Rambo accepts the mission, which is being spearheaded by the condescending and seemingly corrupt bureaucrat Marshal Murdock (the late Charles Napier) who insists Rambo only take pictures and not engage the enemy under any circumstances. After Rambo parachutes behind enemy lines, Rambo is aided by an allied Vietnamese fighter Co-Bao (Julia Nickson) in his mission to locate American POW's. When Rambo and Co-Bao successfully locate the long forgotten POW's, Rambo is left behind to be captured by the enemy after Murdock orders his mercenaries Ericson (Martin Kove) and Lifer (Steve Williams) to abort the mission. Murdock the embarrassment of Rambo's discovery. After Rambo escapes the sadistic clutches of Vietnamese Captain Vinh (Dana Lee) and his Russian comrade, Lieutenant Colonel Padovsky (Steven Berkoff at his best as the icy villain). While Rambo mows down the enemy left, right and center in his single minded mission to rescue the POW's, he also swears vengeance on Murdock for leaving him behind enemy lines in order to save his own backside.Sylvester Stallone is at his butt kicking best as John Rambo. Sylvester Stallone also co wrote the movie with James Cameron (The Terminator, Aliens). The rest of the case support the movie well. Richard Crenna makes a welcome return as Colonel Trautman, Julia Nickson's acting is a bit hokey as Rambo's allied Vietnamese fighter, Charles Napier and Steven Berkoff both make quality villains, but the real star of the movie is Sylvester Stallone as Rambo. Jerry Goldsmith's energetic score is a real pleasure to hear which adds another exciting dimension to the movie.Forget all the negative reviews surrounding Rambo: First Blood Part II , it's still a pleasure to watch many years later and we will still cheer on John Rambo giving it to the bad guys on screen.9/10.
