Product Description David Morrell's 1972 novel FIRST BLOOD spawned a franchise when the popular Rambo series was launched in '82. The first film was an adaptation of Morrell's book that stars Sylvester Stallone as John Rambo, a rugged Vietnam Vet and former Green Beret who struggles to adjust to life outside the military. He's soon called back into action in this and the other three films RAMBO II, RAMBO III, and RAMBO-included in this collection. The films ultimately turned into a pet project for Stallone, who wrote, directed, produced, and starred in the fourth film in the series, which was shot some 20 years after the third installment. Director Ted Kotcheff, George P. Cosmatos, Peter MacDonald, Sylvester Stallone Runtime: 386 minutes desertcart.com There is no serrated knife included in this collection, but Rambo: The Complete Collector's Set will satisfy almost everything else a fan needs. Six discs are included, comprising the four feature Rambo films, a digital copy of Rambo (2008), and a disc full of supplemental material. (A number of the extras have been available on previous DVD editions.) Each film has a commentary: directors George P. Cosmatos and Peter MacDonald on Rambo: First Blood Part II and Rambo III respectively, and Sylvester Stallone on First Blood and Rambo. Although mentioned in the packaging, a previously available commentary by First Blood novelist David Morrell is not included. If you've never heard a Stallone commentary, be advised: the man has uncanny recall of scenes and moments, and is not shy about recounting anecdotes (especially when it comes to establishing how he changed the material to his liking or suffered for a scene). Seriously, he's a very entertaining talker. Surprisingly, the collection of featurettes, especially the historical-context stuff, is remarkably ambitious and even-handed; the interviewees include some very trustworthy and respected authorities talking about Vietnam, Afghanistan, and the mythological resonance of the Rambo character. In short, for a movie series of dubious credibility, this is a top-of-the-line effort. --Robert Horton Review: used but just like new - perfect even though it is used. thank you Review: Something i wanted and now i have them - If your a fan of action and war movies you need to own these.

Rambo - The Complete Collectors Set
I do not know why this set does not have a solid five star rating. I purchased it new for right around $23.00. It could not have been created in a more appropriate package. You slide the DVD holder out of the outer sleeve, then you take the DVD holder out and start opening it by fliping it open like an extended multifold book. The presentation of the DVD's is compact and attractive. When playing the DVD's you have several modes to play them in(one is plenty). You get Rambo First Blood. You get Rambo First Blood II. You get Rambo III. You get Rambo (the 4th Rambo movie). Then you get Rambo the digital copy that you can download to your computer and then to I-tunes ect. And you get a DVD with several short films on several different topics (all are interesting). That is 6 quality DVDs for $23.00. That is a deal. If you watched the Rambo movies as a kid, get this package. It is worth every penny. I bought this because my kids love the Rocky movies and I wanted to introduce them to John Rambo. This Set did it perfectly.

Great Movies, Great deal
The movies speak for themselves. From First Blood to Rambo, we have a iconic and genuine character being put through hell both emotionally and physically. He's a trained killing machine with his own moral code (which in many ways is better than those he's served under). Everyone can sit and debate over Stallone's acting ability, but many really can't discount his writing ability. He tends to have a way with his characters, no matter what movie it is, where the dialog/scenes all work to bring to life a fictional character with both pathos and humanity. So with that being said, I want to speak more on the packaging/features of the film, as everyone who is reading this is probably wondering if this all-in-one is worth it or not. Before I do that I wanted to say that the last Rambo movie, though Rambo is older, is more realistic and just as good as the predecessors. And the documentaries describing how this movie both was true-to-subject matter and a gripping action vehicle is worth watching. Especially when you hear the backstory of Burma and the trials and tribulations that went with getting the film made and getting it seen. now onto the packaging. It's a regular sized case with all four movies. All look/sound great. They did a great job with the audio/video that's for sure. The extras are on each disc and are definitely worth checking out. I used to own the four dvds that came in a tin and I believe these are the same special features as that set. My only gripe is: (and this is a major pet peeve I have concering complete collections of franchises) The fourth disc says "disc one" on the label. I am a collector of movies so I want the best collection I can have, and part of me wanted to go for getting these individually, for one reason it makes my collection seem bigger. I use a cataloguing program to list my dvds, and well it's the difference between one and four. if I buy the complete saga that's just one title etc. However if a good deal comes along where I can get them all together without sacrificing quality then I am all for it. I understand this is easiest for them. But Can't they just press more copies without the "disc one" on it? since it is now part of a set and not a standalone. From what I understand this is from a two disc set where the second is just a digital copy. That's fine. I do not lose any special features so I don't feel cheated in that respect. But everytime I look at the discs that extra printing always stands out, and I just know if someone is looking through it they'll wonder where the fifth disc is of the set. I know this is a minor thing to quibble about. But I am picky with my collection. But I wanted to let others know in case this does bother them too. Also I'd like to point out that First Blood did not work on my pc (which had updated firmware for the drives and the latest cyberlink Powerdvd installed. It worked perfectly on my standalone player though. All the other movies played in my pc without issue. I know part of that is a cyberlink thing and I might just need another patch, but for about three years I have not had to update any of my dvd playing software. So I am not sure what made this one so different. But it plays well in a blu ray player just not a pc drive. I have a big flat panel monitor with logitech thx certified speakers and a thx certified creative sound card, so I like playing it through my pc first and formost. This isn't a major issue either. I just wanted to let everyone know before they bought it. But all of the other played perfectly on my pc without issue. So I'd highly recommend this to everyone basically. It's action with a heart. Yes, it's over the top in some parts, but when Rambo takes out the chopper from hell with a tank, it might seem unbelievable but it's totally cool just the same. Fun to watch and you might learn a few things along the way (like Bill Cosby used to say). The special features are definitely informative not just on the movie but of the political climates of the time. One reason Rambo works is that it's fiction but it's fiction set in real life conflict and in real life facts. So it's great to watch and I'd highly recommend this set as you get four movies at a great price.
