where was rambo 2 filmed

Most of Rambo: First Blood Part II (often called “Rambo 2”) was filmed in Mexico, which doubled for war‑torn Vietnam and nearby jungles.

Main filming locations

• Acapulco, Guerrero, Mexico – Used for several jungle and action scenes, including waterfalls and coastal backdrops that stand in for Southeast Asia.

• Tecoanapa, Guerrero, Mexico – Provided rugged, dense terrain for many of the mission and combat sequences.

• Sierra Madre del Sur (Oaxaca & Chiapas, Mexico) – Mountainous jungle landscapes were used extensively to portray the remote Vietnamese countryside and river valleys.

Notable scene spots

• A prominent waterfall sequence was shot around Acapulco in Guerrero state, using nearby jungle and river locations.

• Additional jungle and camp scenes used various areas in the Sierra Madre del Sur , giving the film its thick-forest, steep-cliff look even though it is set in Vietnam.
