Lionsgate 4K Blu-ray (2026 Rambo set)
caps #1 (with FEL), caps #2

Best Audio:

Lionsgate 4K Blu-ray (2026 Rambo set)

Additional Info:

The compression is underwhelming on all discs, but despite trading blows in various frames, Lionsgate's re-released 4K disc wins.

The Lionsgate 4K re-release includes original matrixed Dolby Stereo mix, transferred from a LaserDisc, with missing cues at side changeover points corrected, and consistent volume throughout, as well as two remixed variants in 5.1 and 7.1 Atmos. The 5.1 is incorrectly labeled as original on the menu.
