'Rambo' Joins Sequels on Blu-ray This May
Wed Mar 05, 2008 at 03:00 PM ET

Confirming earlier reports, Lionsgate says it will bring the recent theatrical hit 'Rambo,' as well as the first two sequels in the series to Blu-ray in late May.

As previously reported, Lionsgate issued an early alert to retailers last month that it was preparing the Sylvester Stallone '80s epics 'Rambo: First Blood Part II' and 'Rambo III' for Blu-ray release on May 27. (Lionsgate released the first film in the bloody saga, 'First Blood,' on Blu-ray back in February 2007.)

The studio has now confirmed the May 27 arrival date, and announced that Parts 2 and 3 will be joined by the fourth (and apparently final) entry in the franchise, 'Rambo,' that same day (day-and-date with the standard DVD).

As Lionsgate has not yet issued the full press details for 'Rambo,' only basic 1080p video and English PCM 7.1 Surround audio specs are known. However, the release is billed as a "Special Edition," so we expect plenty of extras. Watch this space.

Suggested retail price for the Blu-ray has been set at $39.98.

You'll find preliminary specs for 'Rambo' linked from our Blu-ray Release Schedule, where it is indexed under May 27.

We've also set up a dedicated thread for Lionsgate's latest in our Forums area -- click the following link to discuss the 'Rambo' Blu-ray release.

I eagerly await the 'normal' DVD release just as much, can't wait to find out the features and if it is a directors cut....

[Crackhour]

Very cool, but why release the older films unless you're not going to utilize the format's potential and have tons and tons of extras on them? Like the Rocky series, the Rambo trilogy has been kinda screwed when it comes to extras.

[mjscarface]

I'll be getting that for sure!

and you know what?


I JUST WON'T TURN IT OFF!!!

Damn, that's a lot of new stuff I need to buy. I don't have blu-ray yet, but I'm thinking about getting all the movies on blu-ray, and the 6-disc set.

[ramboman]

and it will be on all day, everday baby!!

[boatman74]

So, there's two different Sly commentaries - one for the standard and another for the blu-ray? Or is it one and the same commentary enhanced for the blu-ray?
Also, 1-3 blu-ray set is now available for pre-ordering, and it appears they've compiled the extras from both the special and ultimate editions... I said it appears they have - again, can anybody here confirm this? Would be nice to have all that bonus material in one place!

[Crackhour]

Awesome, the Rambo DVD is looking great! Can't wait to buy that son of a bitch.

[boatman74]

Was hoping for a directors cut of IV... maybe we'll get that as a future re-release...

[nado]

Awesome I cant wait to pick these up when ever they come out in Australia.

[Mazza]
