On This Day: May 22, 1985 - Rambo First Blood Part II Premiered in Theaters
On this day May 22, 1985, Rambo First Blood Part II premiered in theaters across the United States. Directed by George P Cosmatos and starring Sylvester Stallone, the action-packed sequel continued the story of Vietnam veteran John Rambo as he returned to the jungle for a top-secret mission to rescue prisoners of war.

The film was a massive box office success, becoming the second highest grossing movie of 1985 behind only Back to the Future. With its explosive action sequences and iconic one-man army storyline, Rambo cemented Stallone’s status as a global action star and turned the Rambo name into a household franchise.

Fun fact: James Cameron co-wrote the screenplay and originally envisioned a more high-tech version of the mission before Stallone rewrote much of it to fit his own style.
