First Three Rambo Movies Now on 4K Ultra HD
If you love action films and grew up in the 80’s, then you are certain to be familiar with John Rambo. The second of Sylvester Stallone’s five-letter named characters that start with “R”. With the holidays coming up, these three releases would make the perfect gift for any old school action fan. With the anticipation of a fifth “Rambo” feature heading to the theaters in 2019, I am thrilled about getting 4K releases of “First Blood”, “Rambo: First Blood Part II” (My personal favorite) and “Rambo III”. Hopefully the fourth film will get a 4K release shortly as well.
Included with the three “Rambo” films are previous released bonus features, however there is a three-part “Rambo Takes the 80’s” featurette included with each film. Part 1 is included with “First Blood”, Part 2 is included with “Rambo: First Blood Part II” and the 3rd Part is included with “Rambo III”.
Although the 4K transfer of “First Blood” looks pretty, decent, it is a much darker film than the two sequels. Because of this “Rambo: First Blood Part II” and “Rambo III” look a whole lot better in 4K, actually look quite fantastic. They are worth the upgrade from Blu-ray if you are a fan. Granted, “Rambo III” may not be as beloved as the first two but, completists will most likely want to grab all three.
