I agree with the previous reviews. Absolutely a must buy at $17.99. What a deal for this amazing high def performance. Red rocks is the perfect setting for this great live performance from INCUBUS.

Ok.. once you load the disc and see this floating knife in a forest you may think the movie is going to suck, but it doesnt. The transfer to blu ray is quite good. I was very pleased. The opening credits appear very crisp and vibrant and the film is greatly improved from previous dvd releases. The blu ray has a great commentary with Stallone. This blu ray sells at a budget price. I highly recommend getting it if you are a fan on Rambo!
What's great about it: Stallone commentary, good picture for an older film
What's not so great: Lame disc menu with floating knife..LOL

The film isnt that great but because of the amazing blu ray transfer this disc will be very popular. buy it now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What's great about it: Best Blu ray available picture wise!!!!!!!!!!!

The blu ray is the way to go if you have a player. I did however notice that some scenes lack that visual pop that i look for when i look for a reference disc. Dont get me wrong the blu ray is good but its not perfect. Outside scenes are sharper than the dark cave scenes. Extras on the disc are terrific!
What's great about it: Great extras, good presentation, blockbuster film!
What's not so great: Some scenes dont pop on the blu ray disc!

The Beijing opening ceremony was spectacular! That being said this DVD is a huge letdown. The ceremony was originally shot in High definition and this dvd was obviously downconverted and thus the picture quality suffers from digital artifacting. I tried the disc in a standard dvd player and an upconverting one and the picture was poor on both. You can clearly see distortion throughout the presentation. I was so dissapointed. I was really hoping for a top notch presentation of a program i loved. Sadly it is not!
What's great about it: Original broadcast was spectacular!!
