I blame him for ‘Highlander 2’ and ‘Caddyshack 2’.
Yes, but Rambo II was MUCH bigger than “First Blood”. I think Mad Max II also outscored “The Road Warrior”.

Haha! Two great first movies that were shamed hard by their sequels.
How about Major League 2 or Nerds 2 in Paradise.
I nominate Star Trek II Wrath of Khan as the one of the best ever sequels compared to the first one.
There was a “Caddyshack2”?
No, I don't blame him. In Hollywood nothing succeeds like success. How many hits have generated a sequel and then multiple sequels. You can go back to The Thin Man series, the Andy Hardy flicks, The Saint movies... and now we have had Rambo and Rocky and Fast and Furious and The Terminator etc etc etc .... These sequels come with built-in name recognition so they are easier to market (never mind that each sequel tends to lose quality from issue to issue...). And less creratrivity is required. and sometimes the sequel is better than the original - The Road Warrior versus Mad Max for instance....
