"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.

Liberty's Unstoppable Champion Returns!

"Man, it's awesome to finally get back to the action with RAMBO and the Force of Freedom after all these years! Kudos to Lion's Gate for bringing this underrated Ruby-Spears classic to DVD. Don't be misled by the cartoonish cover art; this is the original, violent-but-bloodless animated series you remember from 1986. For proof of this, look no further than the screenshots on the back of the case -- one of which shows our intrepid hero wrapped in heavy chains and being attacked by voracious rats! Inside said case you'll find a single disc packed with a whopping 11 episodes of gun-blazing, knife-wielding, flame-throwing fun! (Note: The episode selection screen displays only two episodes at a time; you have to hit the arrow in the lower right-hand corner to see more.) Oddly, the shows are in a completely random order...a veritable grab bag of Ramboness, if you will. Based on a guide I found on the Internet, the episodes on this disc are numbers 43; 3; 18; 15; 29; 14; 59; 13; 34; 7; and 11. Strange; but random Rambos are better than no Rambos, right? With so much great content for such a great price, it's not surprising that the video is a little grainy and the audio is sometimes a bit muffled (even though the case says they're "digitally mastered")...but grainy Rambos are better than no Rambos, right? So lace up your army boots, sheathe your bowie knife, tie a red bandana `round your forehead and join John Rambo, Colonel Trautman, KAT and Turbo in their never-ending battle with the diabolical General Warhawk and his minions: Sgt. Havoc; Gripper; Nomad; Dr. Hyde; Black Dragon; Mad Dog (a.k.a "Spike") and Jerkface (yes, Jerkface). "Get me Rambo," you say? Well, you've got him!"

When the world's in trouble there's only one man to call:Ram

"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.
