"How will you live, John?" "Day by day."
Following up on my word, here ios the score for the classic 1985 action film, "Rambo: First Blood Part II." Following the events of "First Blood," John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) has been arrested and sent to jail for the destruction he caused to Hope, Oregon. Col. Trautman (Richard Crenna) arrives with a signed release for Rambo... but there's a catch. Rambo must agree to a mission set up by the government. With nothing left to lose, Rambo agrees and meets Marshall Murdock (Charles Napier), a governmenmt bueraucrat who who briefs him. Seems that the government wants to see if there really are P.O.Ws left in Vietnam. Rambo is told that if he finds prisoners, that he must snap pictures of the prisoners and must not, under any circumstances, engage the enemy. Both objectives are impossible for the guy, but he agrees to make his freedom permanent.
With the aid of Co Bao (Julia Nickson), a female Vietnamese soldier that the government has hired to assist him, Rambo actually rescues a P.O.W. However, this provides proof that there are still P.O.Ws, an issue that the government hoped to sweep under the rug with this mission. Murdock orders the extraction chopper to abandon Rambo, and this triggers a series of events that leads to Rambo taking on the entire North Vietnamese army single handed in an attempt to rescue the other P.O.Ws and gain revenge on the spineless Murdock.
More action-oriented than the previous entry in the series, Jerry Goldsmith provides a soldi action score, cleverly inserting bits of his "First Blood" theme from time to time. Also, Frank Stallone appears again on the blog with the (undeservedly) Golden Raspberry-winning song "Peace in Our Life." Enjoy the soundtrack (by the way, this is the original Varese Sarabande release. If I find the extra material added for the Silva release, I will post it here).
