The Razzies need to understand that their vendetta against Sylvester Stallone and his movies is beyond tiresome at this point. He's made plenty of rubbish, but he is a good actor at his best and he doesn't deserve to be the most-nominated actor in Razzie history.

This action sequel was the big winner of the 1986 ceremony, including for Worst Picture, Worst Actor (for Stallone), Worst Screenplay and Worst Original Song and this was completely unfair. The film is a perfectly OK action movie, albeit a huge step down from the excellence of 1982's First Blood, and Stallone's performance in it is reasonably strong as well.

Worst Original Song, Worst Supporting Actress and Worst New Star (for Julia Nickson's performance, which is painfully bad in fairness) were fine, but Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Screenplay and Worst Actor were unjustified.

Corrected:

There was a certain other action sequel that could've replaced First Blood Part II in all four of these categories: A View to a Kill, the sloppy, abysmally written and goofy 14th James Bond film and the worst of the franchise's 24 films.

In particular, Roger Moore, who was far too old for Bond at this point, deserved a Worst Actor nod far more than Stallone did. Unfortunately, the only nomination it got was Worst Actress for Tanya Roberts, which was well-deserved, but it would've been nice to see more.
