Re: Rambo - Special or Ultimate?
If extras are your thing, you can't get rid of the S.E.s; however, only the U.E. of RAMBO III has the proper subtitles onscreen when the Russians are speaking, making it a must have. Also, the transfers for FIRST BLOOD and RAMBO III are better on the U.E., though I think I still prefer the look of RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD, PART II on the S.E. Bottom line, you face a critical loss with either version you part with. You may really want to reconsider and keep all of them.

Re: Rambo - Special or Ultimate?
the commentary with Sylvester Stallone is worth a listen.

Be aware that many of the extra features on the S.E.s are apparently not planned to be ported over to the Blu-rays so, if those are at all important to you, you still may want to keep them and just sell the U.E.'s, whose major selling point is superior transfers, which will surely be easily trounced by the Blu-rays.

Re: Rambo - Special or Ultimate?
With the exceptiosn of Stallone's commentary and a few deleted scenes from First Blood, this ultimate edition set is anything but. There are other threads discussing the pros and cons but I feel the multiple layer switches on each disc make them almost unwatchable. Plus, the "extras" are so stupid as to render me speechless. I felt stupid after watching them. What a waste of time.
My advice: watch First Blood and listen to the commentary. Look at the deleted scenes and then sell that set ASAP.
The Artisan SEs are almost identical as far as PQ and Audio (including DTS) and you get a very nice David Morrell commentary on FB. (I own the set with the metal cover and extra disc of supplements. Now that's a great set.)
Many Shubs and Zuuls knew what it meant to roast in the depths of the Sloar that day I can tell you.
