I didn't ask Geiferg for the edit.
I'd recently watched First blood and 2 but saw this over on The Fanedit Network on reddit and decided to give it a watch regardless. So I figure the least I could do is still review it over here on IFDB like I would do if I had asked.

Where to begin, the trailers were a wild ride, I'd love to see those movies, but not sure they can be given a true movie treatment, regardless they set the tone for what was going to be coming with Rambo.

I don't want to spoil things, chances are you read the description on the release information tab and that is pretty much what's on offer, a one man killing machine with a healthly amount of T&A, guns, digitized squibs, it feels like a love letter to stallones career as a whole, even the less hollywood side. I was impressed by not only the use of Hot shots to make the Colonel seem more in tone for the grindhouse, but to serve up another conquest for Rambo.

The only drawbacks are the autoread AI script is a little iffy and some of the early deepfake shots aren't so good, but at the same time, I'm impressed this is the work of one person so can easily dismiss these faults. It's just a madcap 1980's style yayo-fuelled execs dream and easily up there with the best grindhouse edits like War of the Stars.
Give it a look in, chances are you won't be disappointed.
