Carolco Pictures was an American independent motion picture production company founded by film investors Mario Kassar and Andrew Vajna in 1976. The company's first major success was First Blood (1982), and Carolco Pictures went on to produce multiple films starring Sylvester Stalone. Carolco Pictures also had a long-standing relationship with director James Cameron, and actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, which led in the company producing Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), another major commercial success. Despite the studio's successes in the early 1990s, the company continued to lose money resulting in its decline. Carolco Pictures was bankrupted by the film intended to be its comeback: Cutthroat Island (1995).
