Rambo: Animated Series, Vol. 2 - Enter the Dragon

I was THRILLED to see this as well as some of my other 80's favorites hit DVD (i.e., Voltron, Transformers, MOTU).... I had recorded about 6 of the original Rambo episodes back when they originally aired on VHS. Needless to say, the quality was terrible, barely viewable and I really was discouraged when I thought that I would never see these or any other episodes again.The episodes are like any other in a series-some of them are fantastic and action packed, while others you wonder if they had someone's 10 year old come up with the script and dialog ideas. But in all fairness no show I have ever seen, animated or not, was 100% entertaining, 100% of the time.My only real disappointment was the fact that they only cleaned up some of the episodes. Not sure how one episode was picked over another, perhaps they were "fan favorites", and they only had a limited budget. But having them on DVD, well can't and shouldn't complain.Thanks guys at Lions Gate for releasing them! :-)

Rambo and the Force of Freedom fights against the S.A.V.A.G.E. evil forces led by General Warhawk and his hechmen who tries to impose their will and control different countries in the world.The Pentagon has Colonel Samuel Trautman and the Force of Freedom in charge of dealing with all situations that compromizes the world's peace.Expert mechanic Turbo,master of disguise Kat and ninja White Dragon helps Rambo on his tasks against Sgt. Havoc and an all sort of villanins and mercenaries.I used to watch this when I was a kid and I like it.Graphic violence is show but noone is hurt(audiencies are 5 and up).Overall a great entertainment.

those who collect complete series on dvd will understand the dillemma of out of order episodes on dvd's just for the record the episodes on this DVD are as follows (the E-# is the series episode # for reference) :01) Enter the Black Dragon E-2002) Enter the White Dragon E-4103) Fire In the Sky E-1904) The Iron Mask E-3505) the Kunichi E-4906) Masquerade E-5707) Mephisto's Magic E-2408) Night of the Voodoo Man E-2809) the Ninja Dog E-4410) Pirate Peril E-2311) the Taking of Tierra Libre E-5it was a descent series cashing in on the popularity of the rambo franchise from the 80's but it'd be more enjoyable if Lionsgate'd re-release the DVD's with the episodes in order. also please be advised the mislabelling of the final episode on the back of the case is NOT Raise the Yamato, but The Taking of Tierra Libre. hope this helps those who order the dvd.

This is a great cartoon to have in your collection. Not only is the voice of Rambo by Neil Ross (Lion-o of the Thundercats cartoon series) but it is a great action cartoon. the thing i like most about this series is that when Rambo fires his weapons actual bullets are being fired, not lasers as most other cartoons. The only thing bad about this cartoon release is that the episodes are not in the correct order of television release but if you can get a episode list, you could watch them in the correct order. Other than that, this is a great dvd.

I love it so there r a lot of things I can say but one comes to mind that is hot damn this is cool thank u very much.

Recommend!

I watched this today and I loved it

didn't know rambo had an animated series

This is Volume 2 of the cartoon show “Rambo: The Force of Freedom”. It’s based on characters from the movies – specifically, John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) and Colonel Samuel Trautman (Richard Crenna). Given the adult content and themes of the films – i.e. violence and war – this was an odd source for a children’s animated series! Yet, amazingly, this show is a lot of fun – and is suitable for kids.The series consists of 65 episodes. It was made in 1986 – at the height of Rambo’s popularity. This show was reasonably popular – and inspired a toy-line of figures. The story concerns Rambo as a member of an elite team – the Force of Freedom – and he goes on missions around the world. Often, he fights enemies who are part of a terrorist organisation: S.A.V.A.G.E. (i.e. Specialist-Administrators of Vengeance, Anarchy and Global Extortion).There’s not really a continuity to the episodes. Each is a separate adventure. The animation is reasonable (and much better than the box art suggests). The voice acting is quite good. The music is impressive (as it draws on the score from the movies).There are six volumes in total. Here you get 11 episodes. The DVD is region 1 (so won’t play on British machines, unless you’ve a multi-region player).As a child, I had some of the figures … I’ve recently watched this series, and found it to be quite entertaining.

Very good

Awesome cartoon
