Rambo Trilogy - Special Edition

Rambo! Rambo! And more Rambo! To start I own this product but not the version displayed, I have the new special edition by Artisan (Lions gate), reproduced in 2002, in a special metal case.

Go aliens! (War Of The Worlds (Special Edition, 2 DVDs))

Advantages: Beautiful
Disadvantages: Acting, Writing, Death by annoyance

Originally posted on dooyoo As per the title- basically by about halfway though I was so bored by the story and so annoyed by the characters that I was rooting for the aliens to shoot the humans!

(It's No. 1 in DVD sales at Amazon.com.) I've been a Star Wars fan since 1977, so not only have I seen the existing five Episodes of George Lucas' space fantasy ...
