while the original first blood have it far fetch moment and it be at least excite in part . in rambo represent first blood and part ii the emphasis be shift very much onto comic book action . plausibility be totally reject while logic nose dive while stallone become so impregnable that there can be no doubt he will succeed in his mission . just like any other wish fulfilment actioner of that time ( e. g. invasion usa and commando and red scorpion ) and rambo represent first blood and part ii cancel out it own opportunity for real excitement by present a hero too invulnerable to fear for . if you can tell from the word go that rambo be go to wipe out hundred of enemy soldier and what be leave to get excite about . imprison after the event of the first movie and john j rambo ( sylvester stallone ) be offer a pardon if he will join a covert operation in the far east . the year be 1985 and and a mission be be arrange to find out if there be any american pow still trap in the jungle of vietnam . rambo be encourage to take the job by his old mentor colonel trautman ( richard crenna ) and but the assignment be actually the brainchild of a government outfit front by marshall murdock ( charles napier ) . rambo job be merely to head for a prison camp in the jungle and check out if it contain any american pow if it doesn not and he be to rendezvous with a chopper while if it do and he be to get photographic evidence of their existence so that they can be rescue at a late date . aid him in his quest be a lady soldier with local knowledge and the beautiful and resourceful co bao ( julia nickson ) . sure enough and rambo discovers that there be pow in the camp and but he exceed his order by rescue one of them when he reach the rendezvous point and the rescue chopper abandon him on the order of murdock who and it seem and doesn not really want to find any pow because of the political and military implication . rambo be capture by the enemy and tortured and but follow an explosive escape he set out to free the pow and get his revenge on the treacherous murdock . the few good point of the film come from jack cardiff polish photography and jerry goldsmith exhilarate score and and the sheer professionalism of the stunt team in perform various action antic . beyond these scant picking and the film be a failure . the actor be reduce to macho posturing and the plot ring false and the action sequence be soulless and suspenseless and the dialogue be absurd even the violence become numbingly predictable . at the time of it release america be under the presidency of ronald reagan and a man with simplistic and near hysterical anti communist sentiment . for this reason and contemporary audience lap up this commie bash shoot fest a if it be the great movie of all time and transform it into an undeserved box office success . thankfully time have change nowadays we can look upon it a a simple mind action flick with a ludicrously high body count and ludicrously dumb politics and and a ludicrous hero .
