details

• Released shortly after the Hungerford massacre in the UK, the BBFC removed just over 1 minute of violence from the cinema version and a total of 3 minutes of both violence and weapon scenes from the 1989 video version. One scene that was trimmed for UK Theatrical & Video release was the scene where Rambo pushes the large splinter through his side. The uncut version has turned up many times on pay TV (Sky and Bravo).
  
  
• The trailer on the US-DVD features a scene not included in the official releases. It shows two soviet soldiers falling from a wall while Rambo flies over them in the stolen Mi24 Helicopter.
  
  
• A new British video version, released in June 2000, restores all the violence previously cut from UK versions, but is still missing a 2 second scene in which a horse fall was achieved using a tripwire.
