Cobra

A classic action movie...
This is a classic Sylvester Stallone action movie. It's one of the best he ever made. Cobra was mostly known for the number of people killed during the movie. It far exceeded any previous record for an action movie...bordering on the comical. Some of the things you'll remember... The match he keeps in his mouth. His awesome gun. His Mercury which is painfully destroyed during the movie. And the most memorable moment is when he meets up with "Night Slasher" (Brian Thompson) at the end and gets an earful about the judicial system. "They'll say I'm insane. Won't they...PIG!?" If ever there was a classic piece of film it's this encounter. Me and my friends still joke today about how spittle and sweat comes from his mouth when he says, "PIG!". It's hilarious. That alone is worth owning this movie. In all, it's typical of 80's action films. Sylvester's films always seem to have a fair amount of cheese in them. It's a given. At the same time...

80's Action
When Stallone was making "Cobra" he was at the top of his game. He was just coming off of making "Rocky 4" and "Rambo: First Blood part 2". Stallone had great intentions while making "Cobra", in fact there was even a sequel planed for the film. The sequel never was made, due to mixed reviews.

"Cobra" is about Lieutenant Marion 'Cobra' Cobretti, (Stallone) he works on the "zombie squad", where he does all the jobs that nobody wants to do. He knows all the bad guys in town.
Cobra is assigned to the case of bringing down the "night slashers". While the night slashers are out and about one night, Ingrid, a model (Brigitte Nielsen) was driving home from work and witnesses the night slashers committing a murder.
Now, after seeing the night slashers face, Ingrid is in great danger, so she is put under the protection of Cobra and his partner Sergeant Gonzales.

"Cobra" is a very good 80's action film. Stallone did a good job acting and writing the screen-play...
