REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Wed., June 30, 1999
The Alamo users in Fourth of July weekend with this Stallone exercise in political and violent absurdity. Rambo is sent on a one-man mission to resuce M.I.A.s in Cambodia, but finds out he has been duped by the U.S. government. All patrons will receive a crayon and an original Rambo coloring book images to compete for fun and prizes, culminating on Saturday with a vintage Rambo lunchbox filled with beer. Also showing is the short "Rambo: Part 2.5, aka How Savage Stole Santa Claus"
