Rambo: Extended Cut DVD & Blu-ray - July 27, 2010


The next chapter finds Rambo recruited by missionaries to protect them during a humanitarian aid effort on behalf of the persecuted Karen people of Burma. After the missionaries are taken prisoner by Burmese soldiers, Rambo gets a second impossible job: rescue the missionaries in the midst of a civil war.

Special Features so far include:
  • 9 Extra uncut minutes of the film
  • 60 minute production diary
Run time is listed at 102 minutes. $19.95 SRP here in Canada.

I'm in for a cheaper price.

I do wish for ticket to see The Expendables but...Lionsgate doesn't do that I believe.

They did offer tickets to The Spirit with Marvel animation titles, as well as some of their older catalogues.

It's possible, but who knows...

Is this the one he advertised on Leno a long time ago and that the proceeds would go to Burma? I might pick this up if it is a decent price on release day.

It'd be nice if this one contained all the extras from the original disc, as well as the theatrical cut. Then I could just get rid of that one and have this one.

Yeah, depending on what it has or doesn't have added with whatever price we get I MIGHT get it.

I'd like to get this, movie was pretty damn good!

Will this be a US release also, or just Canadian?

Didn't Stallone say in an interview the extra 9 minutes is just extra dialogue with some chick?

I have the theatrical on Blu, so I'll be skipping it if that's the case

Hey there,
As the special features producer for both the original disc and this new release, I want to comment on the inclusion of extras for both releases. The new director's/extended cut does not contain the features I produced for the original 2008 release, but that was a very deliberate choice. When putting together the features for this new release, I looked at it as an extension of the original release. We didn't just want to recycle what people had already seen and owned. We wanted to create new material that would be fresh and more in concert with the director's cut purpose of the new disc. I wanted to create a great 2-disc set, it just so happens that both discs are available separately. So you have a theatrical disc with all the extras geared towards the collaborative movie making process (including interviews with cast and crew) and an extended cut disc with a brand new 80+ minute production diary from Sylvester Stallone. I hope that makes sense and people understand that the original extras weren't left off in an effort to screw people, because if that were the case, Lionsgate would never have approved the creation of the production diary (which runs almost the length that the theatrical cut does).

I hope it's 9 extra minutes of 50 caliber carnage at the end.

That would make sense.

Didn't the "R" rated version that ended up being released in the states technically "Uncut?

I plan on ditching the SE digital copy and sticking this new DC blu-ray in its place.

It's actually 82 minutes. I don't why they announced it as 60.

thanks again, mr. producer sir.

Yes, the "R" rated theatrical release was uncut. The extended cut isn't simply a couple of deleted scenes or violent bits added back into the movie, but rather a complete recut. For example, the movie no longer begins with the "contest" the soldiers force upon the Karen villagers. There are lots of little tweaks, restructuring and changes throughout(including the removal or shortening of some of the more questionable FX shots). I happen to think it's a far superior version of the movie when directly compared to the theatrical cut.

That is exactly the type of thing I wanted people to do.
