The two problems I have with this highly intelligent experience is that John Hambone keeps leading the enemy soldiers in pursuit through populated areas. He is putting innocent Vietnamese villagers at risk from gunfire.

Why did he not consider the safety of the innocent villagers?

He also killed a chicken. What gave him the right to slaughter the chicken?

Other than these minor gripes - this highly intelligent film will please most intellectual viewers seeking something more than a basic, gung ho action film.

Comic book action flick about Rambo going back to Vietnam

The imprisoned Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) is offered a mission by Col.Trautman (Richard Crenna) to go back to his old stomping grounds in ’Nam to see if there are any living American POWs.Charles Napier, Martin Kove, Julia Nickson and Steven Berkoff are included in the peripheral cast.“Rambo: First Blood Part II” (1985) contains what you would want from a Rambo flick: A muscular protagonist, a one-man-army scenario, a noble cause and loads of action, particular of the jungle warfare variety. ...

Confined during Uncle Sam's pleasure, "John Rambo" (Sylvester Stallone) is offered a chance of freedom by his former CO "Trautman" (Richard Crenna) but that means his return to Vietnam where he must try to rescue some POWs.It's not exactly a sanctioned operation, so he knows that it's risky - he will have little support from his own side and can expect a great deal of peril as the jungle, the VC and brutal megalomanic "Podovsky" (Steven Berkoff) stand in his way.Although it is quite well stitched together, and it doesn't hang about, I found the jeopardy of this film completely lacking.The usually reliable Berkoff is just too much of an ham right from the start of his sparing appearances and neither Crenna nor Charles Napier's "Murdock" add much to the mix either. ...
