Rambo: A World of Trouble, Volume 1

I was shocked when seeing a release date for the Animated Rambo Series because ir has not been on TV for about 15 years in the USA, and is wanted by fans where ever you read about it online and no one has it completely,only 4 more volumes are needed to complete it, 11 are on this and the other volume due, 65 were made in total, hopefully they will bring another 2 volumes out by Chrismas and another 2 early next year to complete the series Rambo was based on the successful movie franchise of the same name starring Sylvester Stallone as freedom fighter John Rambo. The cartoon series debuted in April of 1986 as a five part mini series, and was renewed in September as a daily cartoon. Unfortunately the series only last one season and was cancelled in December of the same year(65 episodes were made in total. In the cartoon, Rambo was now part of a team called The Force of Freedom which went on missions around the world battling against the evil organization S.A.V.A.G.E., led by General Warhawk. Although the cartoon was filled with lots of fighting and gun fire, there was never any sensational violence, blood or gore, and rarely did anyone ever die. Rambo used violence as a last result and relyed on quick thinking and fast moves to outwit his opponents. It is a very good classic.

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.

cool!!

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.

My fondest memory of this show was catching it on VHS. My first thought was Ruby-Spears Enterprises trying to one-up Marvel/Sunbow Productions G.I. JOE's audience. The only difference was it had real gunplay, yet no blood. I must admit that RAMBO was not the most obvious choice for a cartoon, but the action was credible. I give it that. Now why couldn't they do this for DOC SAVAGE?

Unreal, just like I remember it. Action packed, great story lines, and Rambo is awesome. I recommend it to all old school cartoon fans.

What a Rip Off - Only 2 episodes per disc. I am not only a big fan of the Rambo animated series, I also had the chasnce to work on it. So, when I found out the episodes were coming out on dvd, I pre-ordered them without researching more info on the discs set for release. The discs list about 11 episodes, but only have 2. I thought this must be a mistake somehow. I then played the disc in a few players and still only episodes appeared. A friend asked me did I really belive that 11 episodes would be fit on one disc if not double-sided? Which this is not. I have returned both volumes 1 - 2 for refunds. What a Rip Off!

well here is a cartoon that is a little too american/patriotic for its own good, but it was a time when we all looked up to heros and love that they could defeat anything and anyone. i just dont like the order that the episodes play out i mean sometimes there is a character in the series that has been with rambo for example say a whole dvd and suddenly dvd 2 that character presents it self as they have never meet before thats just confusing specially if u are a kid watching this, but it was probably how it was writen back in the 80s so the are forgiven however i have all dvds of rambo and since the dont playout in the order i want it im not sure what the last episode is plus im pretty sure im missing a couple of episodes and i have duplicate episodes also, so minus for that. but still since i like this show i recomend to all that are in to action and classic good guys vs bad guys its a must to see

Very good

Rambo is great in this first 11 episodes package. Part of me likes to wait for a complete series edition, but this will do for now... Truly ironic action cartoon.

En el título al leer que es del Reino Unido pensé que iba a ser en PAL (Región 2), pero para nada es NTSC (Región 1). El DVD no es del Reino unido es de U.S.A. Menos mal que sólo compré un volumen y no todos, porque no viene el audio en castellano. Sólo viene en versión original. En inglés. Y los subtítulos, directamente no hay subtítulos. Este DVD no cuenta con ninguna pista de subtítulos. Imagino que en los demás volúmenes pasará lo mismo. Un saludo.

Awesome cartoon
