The crazyman's rock-breaking therapy seems to be working - he's less crazy than before (see "First Blood" review). In this sequel his wardrobe improves also - not a great deal but at least he finishes the story wearing a pretty piece of jewellery that he took from his dead almost girlfriend. Before burying her in a shallow grave, he rips a strip off her dress to make his headband - the sentimental fashionista!!! Plot: he is released from prison on the condition that he parachutes into Southest Asia and photographs some MIAs ("Missing In Action" - undeclared prisoners of war, in this case). The mission gets off to a bad start when Mr Rambo jumps out of the aircraft only to get hung-up: an expert in all things, he's inadvertedly put on his harness OVER his static line! Adding insult (of our intelligence) to injury, his jumpmaster dopily gurns big-time whilst pressing against the side of the door alongside the static line (what's he trying to do?) instead of simply cutting it. Using his jumbo knife, Jonny J slices away his Hockler and equipment (why?) and then himself from the aircraft. His only weapon is his jumbo knife (again) and a fold-up bow (The "Rambo-Bow" - but wasn't that with the kit he cut away?! Shooting high explosive arrows, it's even more mickey mouse than his jumbo knife!). Against the odds, he carries on with his mission only for that karate bloke from "The Karate Kid" to betray him. Now he's REALLY upset! He's too macho to get shot or blown up (again) and after wasting loads of poorly skilled bad guys from the "Falling Plates" regiments of North Vietnam and the USSR, he wins the war that never was and comes home in time for medals and tea. Ronald 'Ronbo' Reagan's favourite soldier, Rambo is the best - he can fire a 66mm LAW (M72 light anti-tank weapon) rocket from inside a helicopter cockpit with no ill consequences to the chopper, himself and his passengers directly behind him. Don't try that at home, kids! Sheer comedy brilliance, if you've ANY military experience...Read full review
Jonathon Julian goes back to the 'Nam to rescue some MIAs (Missing In Action soldiers). By the end of this film, you'll be wishing that Galt had wasted him in the first film, innocent or not. Shooting's too good for him... This film is ridiculous. It is great viewing only for the mentally challenged. Or people who just enjoy machismo and well-oiled, bare-chested, muscular blokes. The funniest part is where "Johnny J" gets hung up outside the aircraft because he put on his parachute harness over the static line - DUH!!! Out comes his macho knife and he cuts himself free, falling to earth. Of course, he not only survives but continues with his mission! It's rare that I've been unable to watch through a film but this one's just too much of an insult to the intelligence. It'd have been a laugh with a few beers in the company of my mates (to laugh AT it) but it's just got nothing positive to offer. I've rated this nonsense as a "1" - but only because I can't rate it at ZERO or lower... FallschirmWombleRead full review
