Rambo III fixed?

I have the Rambo set with the Rambo III that has the missing subs. Does anyone know if the individual release fixed this (ala Rocky IV). It's in the $5.88 bin at WM and seems like a cheap way to fix the problem if possible.

Bump...Nobody has the single release Rambo III and can verify the fix? (Maybe, that's why it's in the $5.88 bin!)

No problem with subtitles on my (single disc) copy, at least on the widescreen version. It is only Spanish like the package says.

The problem isn't that the Spanish subtitles don't work. They work fine. The problem is that there are no English subtitles for foreign dialogue. Artisan used a print of the film that did not have the English subtitles burned-in, and they provided no English subtitle track on the disc for that dialogue.

My copy of RamboIII ($5.88 bin at WallyWorld) has Spanish subtitles for English language, but doesn't have any foreign dialog on the disc. None advertised on the cover, and no foreign dialog is listed in the menus. I also checked all audio tracks on both discs- probably the only time the FF version will get used!

Jesus, He means that when the russain colonel talks in russian is there english translation. The answer is NO, honestly i dont remember if they do or not, but i watch some parts of the movie when i bought it, (Still have not watched all of it) and when the guy comes to the colonel, and i assume he says (JOHN RAMBO IS TRYING TO RECUSE THIS AMERICAN) there are no subtitles. thats the part where russian colonel then asks trautman WHO IS JOHN RAMBO

Oh Well... That would not bother me a bit... Never would have noticed it probably or thought anything of it had I not read about it here and I certainly would not have guessed that was the problem based on the given description.

I never would have bought Rambo I or II if the price had not been $5.99 at Target. I really enjoyed watching both films and did not miss the Subtitles at all. The price was just a little above the rental price.

Just think how many DVDs that would be sold if all were below $10.
