Re: Rambo

I saw this in the theater. It is by far the bloodiest of the Rambo films, but I loved it and I will be purchasing it the day it is released.

FYI... Update

> Amazon RAMBO pre-order price lowered to $22.95 - now $5 less than the previously discounted price ($27.95)

And I'm hoping Amazon will offer a special 'combo' price (w/the 3-film Trilogy Box Set), to save even more. Arrives May 27.

Interesting Blu-ray news....



We've heard previously about the heavy violence for the recent JOHN RAMBO (4th film). Now, it's learned that, in Germany, Warner is releasing TWO versions on Blu-ray, one of which is mentioned as being "Uncut" according to THIS REPORT -

Rambo fans will be interested to see Warner releasing not one, but two versions of the recent Rambo movie. While you could opt for the standard John Rambo, it seems that Amazon has an exclusive limited Steel Book Uncut edition for the same price - John Rambo (Uncut, exklusiv bei Amazon im limitierten Steel Book inklusive Tattoo). This title has only just been announced and it is already ranked 33 in DVD! Being a Warner release, very high chance it is coded for all regions. This title is due June 27th, the standard edition will follow June 29th.

So, there is another BD edition of RAMBO to consider purchasing. This is a similar situation to video releases of the Sony James Bond film, Casino Royale. Most BD editions have been the PG-13 version, however there also exists a longer "Rated R" version - released uncut on BD in Australia, Japan, Germany, and the (Scandinavia) areas of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. It's slightly longer (22 seconds) but does not have the numerous cuts/edits of the theatrical edition! Sony has not yet released this uncut edition on DVD or Blu-ray in North America (to my knowledge).

Click on the link above, and scroll down to the bottom of the page to view all of the numerous differences in violence between the PG-13 theatrical version, and the uncut "Rated R" version of Casino Royale.

Another UPDATE...



> John Rambo UNCUT (German Blu-ray), Limited 'Steel Book' edition - now listed on Amazon's German website, and arrives 1 month (June 27) after the Region A release (May 27).

Since this title in Germany is released to video by Warner Brothers, it's likely to be "Region ALL" (non-locked), so then could be viewed on any Blu-ray player worldwide. I also checked the UK edition, but it's controlled by Sony, so will probably not be this "uncut" version coming to Germany ['uncut' is not mentioned in the UK listing, nor on the cover pic]. Will post more details later, when known.
