within his own soul. Academy Award winner Sylvester Stallone stars as war hero John Rambo. An ex-Green Beret haunted by memories of Vietnam, he was once the perfect killing machine. Now he's searching for peace, but finds instead an over-zealous, small-town sheriff who's spoiling for a fight. All hell breaks loose when an unjustly imprisoned Rambo escapes and becomes the target of a massive manhunt. Now he must use his cunning, combat skills, and weapons training to stay alive and outwit his pursuers.Rambo - First Blood Part II He's back!

Although the Vietnam War is officially over, Rambo remains the perfect fighting machine. But his survival skills are tested with a vengeance on a top-secret mission that takes him back to the jungles of Vietnam in search of American POW's. For when Rambo is double-crossed, this 'expandable' hero, armed with just his bow, arrows, and knife, must defeat savage enemies equipped with deadly firepower. Co-starring Richard Crenna and Charles Napier, Rambo: First Blood Part II is a must for every action-adventure fan! Rambo III The battle rages on as superstar Sylvester Stallone detonates the third and most explosive in the action-packed Rambo trilogy. Combat has taken its toll on John Rambo (Stallone), but he has finally begun to find inner peace inside a monastery - until his friend and mentor Col. Sam Trautman (Richard Crenna) shows up to ask for his help on a top-secret mission to Afghanistan. A war-weary Rambo declines, but when Trautman is captured, Rambo erupts into a one-man firestorm to rescue his former commanding officer and decimate the enemy. It's an intense, pulse-pounding adventure that boasts unrelenting action and suspense from start

bone-rattling explosions) and with your brain on pause (for everything else). Sylvester Stallone's second signature character, after Rocky, a seething ex-Green Beret killing machine, went from Viet-vet victim in the original picture,First Blood, flipping out over the ingratitude of his beloved homeland, to a muscle-bound terminator inRambo III, mowing down Commies in the deserts of Afghanistan. The middle chapter,Rambo: First Blood Part 2, written by James Cameron and directed by George Pan Cosmotos, is the most balanced and satisfying of the three films: Rambo is dropped back into 'Nam to rescue some POWs, and the action builds steadily in scale and ferocity. Each fireball seems to be bigger than the last. Of all the recent headbanger action movies, only the firstDie Hardoffers more bang for the buck. The underrated character actor Richard Crenna (a standout sleazebag inBody Heat), as Rambo's military mentor and staunch defender, is the series' secret weapon, providing some welcome human ballast. --David Chute

Soundtracks (Data extracted from Wikipedia)
The original scores for all three films were composed and conducted by Jerry Goldsmith. The music from the second film was performed by the National Philharmonic Orchestra and the music from the third by the Hungarian State Opera Orchestra. Goldsmith's main theme for Rambo was the basis for the end title song "It's A Long Road," performed by Dan Hill, part of the "First Blood" soundtrack.

Conclusion
I think the movies are great, I loved the first two the best as the first one introduces John and the 2nd one he fought a war on his own. I wouldn't recommend buying these DVD's as the quality is very poor compared to other DVD's as the picture is very fuzzy. Also Rambo 4 (John Rambo) will be releasing soon so it would be best off getting a Quadrilogy box set. Also it would be a good idea to get HD-DVD or Blu-Ray Disc version because I do not think that that they are going to improve the quality of the DVD's.

I love the Rambo trilogy. Rambo is in my top 5 best movies. It is full of action, courage and lots of death. Sylvester plays Rambo so well, a match made in heaven.
In the first Rambo film we see Rambo being outlawed by a local police officer. Then he fights back. The army gets involved. In the end Rambo wreaks havoc on the towns police force. Will anyone stop him!
This is a very good film, as we see the brutality of the poilce on a war hero. Rambo's ... ...prison, on a motorbike and the police car capsides. I love this film and i give it 10/10. In Rambo 2, we see Rambo rescuing some POW's from a Vietnamese prison. But complications soon arise in the form of a treatcherous commander. Leaving Rambo trapped by the Vietnamese and Russians!
This is a great film as we see the torturing methods of Vietnam. But as he has previous experience, will he provail.
My best part is when Rambo starts kicking back ...

Quick review of The Rambo Trilogy (Box Set) (DVD)
If you are a fan of the Rambo movies then this box set is the ultimate collection for you to buy. Only costing 7.99 and classified at 18 years and over you will have hours of great film watching. Rambo First Blood, Rambo First Blood 2 and Rambo 3 are all included. Highly ambitious action scenes in the first two and shows how political times have changed considering he was on the side of the Afghan freedom fighters. I found rambo three a high disappointment with Stallone giving minimal dialogue again. i didn't feel that all the graphic violence bought anything to the film. ...

...just say that Rambo is the best combat vet I've ever seen. A pure fighting machine with only a desire-to win a war that someone else lost. And if winning means he has to die, he'll die. No fear, no regrets. And one more thing-what you choose to call hell…he calls home."

DVD Description
Features: 'Rambo - First Blood', 'Rambo - First Blood - Part II' and 'Rambo III' RAMBO III, which could be called 'Rambo In Afghanistan', is set in 1988, near the end of the Soviet Union's involvement there. At the beginning of the film, John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) is living a secluded life in a Buddhist monastery in Thailand. When Rambo's close friend and mentor from the American military, Colonel Trautman (Richard Crenna), asks for Rambo's help with a top-secret mission in Afghanistan, Rambo declines. Trautman goes in anyway and is captured by a ruthless Russian commander. In response, Rambo leaves his peaceful life, determined to rescue Trautman. Armed with only a handful of glow sticks and a dozen detonators, Rambo travels to Pakistan where he meets with a group of Mujaheddin freedom fighters who agree to lead him across the border into Afghanistan. On horseback, Rambo and the Mujaheddin approach the daunting Afghan landscape high cliffs, jagged desert mountains, and networks of underground tunnels and caves. But before they even reach the prison where Trautman is held, the Russians head them off in a high-speed helicopter chase through steep ravines. From this point forward, the action never abates. 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. There are many intense parts of RAMBO III, including a disturbing look inside a shop that sells machine guns and prosthetic limbs to mine victims, and several action sequences in which Afghan soldiers use American-supplied shoulder-mount rocket launchers against the Soviets. 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.
