Trivia:
James Cameron wrote a treatment/screenplay not only for this film, but for Aliens (1986) while production was being delayed on The Terminator (1984). moreGoofs:
Factual errors: Near the end when Rambo is using a LAAWS rocket to blast the Soviet Hind Helicopter, pay close attention. A LAAWS is a simple tube, yet when Rambo fires it, he is clearly holding an RPG-7 launcher. Seems like they just reused footage from earlier, clipping it in quickly. moreSoundtrack:
PEACE IN OUR LIFE moreFAQ
Where does Rambo get the 'conveniently placed rocket launcher' from that he uses to shoot down the enemy helicopter towards the end of the film? It is the same kind that he used to blow up the boat earlier in the film and unless it was already inside the helicopter I cannot see where he would've got it from as he was never carrying it at any time while he was bringing destruction to the village!more

Like "The Godfather Part II","The Empire Strikes Back","Aliens", "Terminator 2" and "From Russia with Love","Rambo First Blood Part 2" is better than its predecessor.This time around,Rambo goes back to 'Nam to search for American P.O.Ws still being held by the Viet Cong,but after being left behind,Rambo launches his own one man war,and the results are bloody beautiful.Lots of action,with the main highlight being a helicopter attack on a prison complex(its basically "Apocalypse Now" with only one helicopter,no Wagner played on loud speakers,a prison instead of a village,and Rambo has no intention of surfing).Charles Napier does a surprisingly good job as the movie's true bad guy.Just don't expect a very smart movie,as it's IQ is often below 10.Oddly enough,the script was written by Stallone & Jim Cameron,two guys who have written better scripts.One thing is sure about Rambo II:this kind of action flick no longer exists.The DVD includes a commentary track with director George Cosmatos,a trivia game,a Rambo trilogy documentary, and the film presented in surprisingly clean,widescreen transfer.
Rating:**1/2 (out of ****)
