Rambo, being the macho action hero that he is, refuses to stand by while the U.S. He requests Rambo accept a mission to do reconnaissance on POW's that may not have made it out of Vietnam. In Part II, Colonel Trautman visits Rambo in a work camp he's been sentenced to after the first film's incidents.

This agent turns out to be a she, and her name is Co-Bao. There, he meets a local intelligence agent to assist him on his mission. Under the orders of Marshall Murdock (played by Charles Napier), he deploys into the jungle, solo. Despite having chronic PTSD from watching his friends get killed, he returns to Vietnam without question.

First Blood: Part II was written by Stallone and James Cameron-this sounds like a dynamic combination, but the duo won the Razzie Award for Worst Screenplay. Although the 95 minute running time sounds brief, I found myself checking the time quite often considering this is an action movie, pacing is crucial, and the repetition of Rambo killing a man from 50 feet away without actually aiming gets old very fast. The scene at the end where he confronts Marshall Murdock is fueled by a heavy dose of angry testosterone, and it was a surprisingly great way to end the film.

If you're curious as to how Part II is after watching the first, do yourself a favor and skip over this one because there's not much to see. This is even more depressing when you consider how his performance from Part I was Oscar-worthy.
