RAMBO:FIRST BLOOD PART 2 (1985)

MORGAN'S RATING

Former Green Beret John Rambo is serving time in a federal prison. When the US military hears of American soldiers missing in action from the Vietnam war possibly still being alive and held captive, Colonel Trautman is authorized to send Rambo in to rescue them. For Rambo, this is what he would do best. If only the pencil-pushers would stop getting in the way.

QUOTES

CRITICAL COMMENT

Rambo: I want what they want; for our country to love us as much as we love it. That is what I want.

"Never boring but incredibly dumb; if one were to take it seriously, it would also be offensive, as it exploits real-life frustrations of MIA families and Vietnam vets." -- Leonard Maltin

Trautman: How will you live John? Rambo: Day by day.

Rambo: Sir, do we get to win this time?
