May 24, 1985
LOS ANGELES TIMES, May 24, 1985
* Best "Rambo: First Blood Part II" advertisement
* Grand Opening weekend movie premiere
* Sylvester Stallone - John Rambo
* Opening day for "A View to a Kill"
A terrific issue on the premiere of the motion picture hits "Rambo: First Blood Part II" and perhaps no better issue could be found than this, the leading newspaper from the home of the entertainment industry - the Hollywood area's prime publication.
Note: Where else might one find authentic, poster-size ads for Opening Day showings, in the most desirable Hollywood-area newspaper - as we were lucky enough to obtain this (and others) indirectly from the Los Angeles Times' own collection? It simply doesn't get any better! In over 40 years of collecting, we have yet to see such unique & dramatic coverage with truly top-shelf, eye-catching displayability (see images).
Page 3 of section VI has a terrific, full page poster-like advertisement for the film printed on it's opening weekend. (see) Opening day was just 2 days earlier.
A quite rare issue as it would not have been saved since it contains no historically significant content. Present are the complete sections 1 and VI totaling 58 pages. Great condition.
