    • Quotes

      [last lines]

      Trautman: John where are you going?

      Rambo: I don't know.

      Trautman: You'll get a second medal of honor for this.

      [Rambo looks over at the rescued POWs]

      Rambo: You should give it to them. They deserve it more.

      Trautman: You don't belong here, why don't you come back with me?

      Rambo: Back to what? My friends died here, and a piece of me did too.

      Trautman: The war, the whole conflict may have been wrong, but damn it, don't hate your country for it.

      Rambo: Hate? I'd die for it.

      Trautman: Then what is it you want?

      Rambo: I want, what they want, and every other guy who came over here and spilled his guts and gave everything he had, wants! For our country to love us as much as we love it! That's what I want!

      Trautman: How will you live, John?

      Rambo: Day by day.

    • Alternate versions
      Gaurav Arts, the film's distributor in India, had cut some of the most violent shots in the film in 1985 in order to receive an 'Adults Only' rating from India's censors board. Among the scenes trimmed were Rambo being tortured in the leech-infested water, Rambo being tortured through electrocution, Rambo's attack on both Podovsky and Vinh's men near the end etc. The cuts were finally restored in 1993 when the film was submitted to be re-rated by India's censors board.

    A GREAT action film; Stallone IS THE PERFECT RAMBO!!
    Sylvester Stallone returns to the silver screen in this second chapter of the Rambo trilogy. This time, he is released from prison under the condition that he return to the Viet Nam area to take pictures of suspected camps where American POW's are being held. He has to deal with having orders not to use deadly force and then having to dis-obey those very same orders or be killed. He has a new antagonist in the form of a Washington Bureaucrat named Murdoch who leads this fact finding mission. He soon realizes that no one can be trusted and even his former mentor Colonel Troutman (well portrayed by Richard Crenna) is in no position to assist him. What follows is battle after battle with Asian as well as Russian troops leading to an exciting climax where he confronts the REAL enemy. Add this one to your shelf of DVD's in the action section. This is a well directed and excellent film!
