8 Actors You Didn't Know Secretly Directed Films
2. Sylvester Stallone - Rambo: First Blood Part 2
Hello again George P. Cosmatos, and hello again Sylvester Stallone.
George P. Cosmatos has been attached to a lot of really great movies, but there's this kinda hilarious trend where his most famous productions all share the same story element: someone on set was the "real" director behind the scenes.
In this case, Stallone did what he did back in Cobra all over again with First Blood Part 2, and made several executive decisions for how the story was going to be told. While, again, Cosmatos is the one who got all the credit, and the extent of Stallone's directing is unknown, we know enough to surmise that at least half of the final cut was a product of Stallone taking over directing.
It's equally unclear how much of this help Cosmatos ASKED for, but considering that this has happened to him three times - including the final entry - and has happened with Stallone twice, it's safe to assume he's at least partially okay with Sly Stallone putting in his two cents.
