You probably did not notice, but in the credits of one of the most spreading cranberry of Hollywood "Rambo: First Blood 2" there are two script writers. One of them - the singer of the legendary veteran of Vietnam - Sylvester Stallone. And the second number is at that time very few famous screenwriter and director James Cameron. More precisely, by the time of the release of the second part of Rambo, he had already become famous - "Terminator" came out a year earlier. But at the time of starting work on it, great merit in Cameron was not yet

Interestingly, the orders for the scenario of the sequels "Rambo" and "Alien" came to Cameron in one day. And he took up both projects. In this case, he himself also was engaged in his own brainchild - "Terminator". As a result, according to his own words, he distributed the materials on all these films to different tables in different rooms and worked with them on a clear schedule - he had to meet within a three-month period
That is, in fact, the author of the original scenario of the second Rambo was exactly Cameron, and David Morrell, the author of the first book, wrote his second book already by Cameron.
But that's not the point. What does Slyay have to do with the script then? After all, he also stands in the writers. And Sly made this script the way we saw it in the film. He remade it for himself, throwing out a lot of scenes written by Cameron (who by that time was already working on Terminator), and changing the rest, transferring the protagonist at the beginning of the film from the psychiatric hospital to prison, inventing branded arrows with exploding tips, or firing from the machine gun of the protagonist, in which none of the opponents, for some reason, can not get

And not only scenes, but also characters. After all, in the Cameron scenario, Rambo went to Vietnam not alone, but with a partner, a kind of Hochmach with a large cannon, the role of which was supposed to take Travolta (it was the idea of producers who ordered the script). But Slai did not need a competitor. His Rambo is a lone hero who speaks little, but does a lot
The main idea of the script, of course, remained the same. He was changed in small things. But history shows that often trifles play a big role in what separates the film from the classics of the genre and cranberry. The story does not know the subjunctive mood, but, perhaps, if the director did not go on about Sla, and shooted on Cameron, then the list of successful sequels would be one film longer
