sorry dude, but I thought the same thing the first time I saw the film in the theater....way back then. yeah, it was a small role....but sometimes people have a "gut" feeling about someone or their style. I see the same in many other actors as well. some go onto better things...some dont. I liked Caruso then, and I like him now.:D

Rambo III.

I do not think the Survival mode is silly. I like some of the info and I like looking at the files of each character.

So you're saying that in 1982, as you witnessed him whining about letting the state police handle Rambo, and as he was being slapped around by Teasle, you thought to yourself, "Wow. There's something about this redheaded wimp?" I don't think so.

thats right...'cool' new guy
 

now you figured it out....good job. and yes....I did. ya know that gut feeling I mentioned? you don't have it.

I remember thinking how much better William H. Macy would have nailed the part.

From what book of stupididty you got that rule?

Artisan 1st press releases offfers great "metal/tin" packaging.

It's 100% true, though. The only titles he'd mentioned that came in metal/tin cases anyway were T2: Extreme Edition (which had a metal case that shredded the keepcase inside upon first extraction) and TOTAL RECALL: Special Edition (which came in a round Mars case that many fans found to be completely impractical from a storage viewpoint).

But he mentioned the the prices drops rapidly like a stone. I dont think that the following prices for this 1st press/ limited edition releases dropped?

Its more of like, there were artisan follow-up re-releases that were repackaged with cardboard and can be bought at an affordable price.

and Im intrigued that the T2:Extreme you mentioned shreds dvd keepcase? did it happened to you? it did not happened on my end.

If we take collectible packaging out of the equation
(and hell, that RAMBO box can be had for less than $20 new at Amazon.com), then his post is accurate.

Oh yes, this was a wide-ranging problem, though Artisan was very good and prompt at mailing free replacement cases to those of us who contacted them.

Sorry to bump an old thread.
Do you think they will be making a new trilogy set to go with Rambo 4? I've been looking everywhere (best buy/circuit city/target/walmart etc.) and I can't find the single releases of the ultimate editions anywhere. I bought First Blood cheap and wanted to get the rest of them but I can't seem to find them anywhere other than online. Even deep discount doesn't carry the single releases anymore, just the trilogy pack.

I've been able to find the 4 disc trilogy set at FYE for $24.99. I'd go with that since those are much better special editions than the ultimate editions.

If you don't want that I've found part 2 at Wal-Mart for $7.50 and I've seen part 3 in the $5.50 bin there too.

Is the previous Rambo special editions all out of print? I would love to get my hands on them since I recall the extras are so much better than the Ultimate edition.

I see it at Hastings for only $7 bucks so it is not out of print ga

The Special Editions are much better than the Ultimate Editions, but the one big benefit to getting the UE of First Blood is that it contains the alternate "suicide" ending. Why the hell they didn't seize the opportunity to make the "Ultimate" editions truly ultimate by carrying over all the features from the SE's and adding more new ones, is beyond me. It still ranks as one of the worst-ever "upgrades" in DVD history. Btw, I just saw all three of the Rambo UE's in the Wal-Mart bin when I was there last week.

You can now find all 3 Rambos in Walmarts $5.00 bin. (Lion's Gate version)

Maybe there will be another dip when John Rambo is released that will have all the bonuses.

The Rambo III ultimate edition has the Russian subtitles intact while the Special Edition is missing them.

I regret not picking up the 4 disc special edition set....instead picked up the piece of shit not so Ultimate editions a few years ago.
