Summary: A piece of entertainment
Review: This movie lingers between the lines of being the worst movie ever made, and the funniest.
Don't get me wrong on this, the film is crap, no dought about it, the film is crap, but it will have you in hysterics from beginning to end. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense but you don't really care, it's full of some of the stupidest things I've ever seen (Like when the bad guy dies his hair black. Like it really makes any difference to a guy as hefty as that.He looked exactly the same.)
Basically you can't go on about it for too long but it's worth renting if your looking for a comedy that will really make you laugh out loud.
Saying that I would love to see the directors commentary. He might be as funny as the film itself?

Review: Anyone who grew up in the 80s saw this film, you had no choice. I remember seeing it at the drive-in on a double bill with Road House. This is a fun Cannon/Stallone collaboration. Yeah, it's oozing with cheese and cliched as can be, but it wouldn't be half as fun if it weren't. Stallone's in tough guy mode again(it seems like he never set off to be an action hero, but ended up one), this time around as a Dirty Harry-esque cop, who's naturally hated by the force and considered a "loose cannon". He's out to stop a wacky death cult and protect their next victim at the same time. Not to mention romancing her. The cult's motivations are never totally explained, they just go around slaughtering women. Brian Thompson is scary looking and menacing as the cult leader with that cool knife we all remember. We get a big showdown at the end where Stallone really gets into Stallone mode. He takes on the whole cult(who REALLY must want to kill this woman considering they all come out of hiding to get her) Rambo style. I must say that Cobra is one sadistic mother-most of the cult members he likes to set on fire in various ways! Try watching it again and relive the cheesy fun. If you haven't seen it(shame on you), you must, must, must!!

Summary: Dirty Harry Rip-off!!!
Review: It seems Sylvester Stallone admired Clint Eastwood, & attempted to create a memorable character like Dirty Harry, not to say that the character is bad, the story could have used a re-write, In this Stallone is Marion Cobretti, a police enforcer who acts more like a negotiator when the police can't get the bad guy, the opening moments are real as a crazed gunman enters a store & starts balzing away, taking hostages along the way & demanding t.v. airtime to chant his cause, Cobretti's arrival is comical at best as he infiltrates the gunman's movement in the store, & taunts him with one-liners like>> "I don't lousy shots", or "go ahead, I don't shop here" when the gunman threatens to blow up the store, he disarms the gunman & is cool is every aspect, but as the film moves forward, it loses its appeal, it seems that this movie is really about the night-slasher, the imfamous killer who ran amock in Los Angeles in 1985 until he was caught later that year, right about the time this film was starting to get made, as Stallone tries to infiltrate their next move, & is assigned to protect a potential witness(Brigette Neilsen, Stallone's then wife) who may know the killer's identity & who tries many unsuccessful attempts to finish her, which plays out more like a slasher movie, Stallone has said he wishes now he would have done it differnetly, & one can agree, this one has way too many Rambo-like shoot-ups that fail miserably, & could have been much better, Dirty Harry it is not!!!!!!

Summary: A classic action movie...
Review: 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 tho, they don't make films like this anymore. The days of the action hero seem over, but they can be relived with movies like Cobra.

Summary: A true GUY movie in every sense!
Review: It is amazing how every review i have read hates this movie. I can't agree with them. This movie is a classic 80's action movie. This movie has it all: a cool cop with a slick car and awesome fire power, a hot chick, and a pyscho killer with a big a** knife. This movie also has some of the best one liners, my favories:

" Go ahead , i don't shop here"

" Your a disease, amd i am the cure"

" you know what your problem is...your too violent"

" this is where the law stops.. and i start"

I could name all the classic lines in this but i don't want to spoil it. It also features Reno Santoni who was in the first "Dirty Harry". You either love this movie or hate it to death. I grew up with it and i have it proudly in my collection.It is on my list of the 10 best cop movies. Stallone's best cop movie since "Nighthawks". This Cobra packs bite.

Summary: A movie for guys who like violent 80s movies
Review: If you tried to be serious, Cobra would not be considered a good film. But if you want to talk about the movies you grew up with, the 80s cheese, the movies where the bad guy was just so evil you knew he was gonna get it but good?

That's where Rambo director George P. Cosmatos comes in and delivers Cobra. Stallone mumbles a lot and chews on a match like toothpick. He drives an incredible classic souped-up Mercedes (with nitrous boosts) and brandishes a submachine gun. When normal cops can't get it done, the Captain calls in the Cobra.

Do I need to talk about the story? Well, okay. Remember the punk from the opening of The Terminator--the guys who gets Arnie's fist put through him? He's the head of some evil cult here. You never find out what they're about, but they just like killing people sadistically with axes and knives, etc. They're just really evil, bad people.

Anyway, Stallone gets on the case, and dozens of corpses later he faces off with The Night Stalker, or Slasher, and...well, I'll let you find out.

This DVD actually has some decent extras. I'm impressed. Tailor-made for the dedicated violent 80s movie fan, including commentary from the director(!) AND a documentary.

You either know you're gonna love Cobra or hate it just by looking at the box cover art. So there you go.

Summary: The Cobra's bite is lethal!
Review: This has gotta be Sylvestor Stallone's best action movie in my opinion although some people are gonna say First Blood I&II. I read somewhere that this movie was a flop but I don't know why, it has some of the best action sequences I have ever seen. Standout scenes where he is on the back of a truck and mowing down bad guy bikers with his sub machine gun with laser siding.Another scene is where he throws a handgrenade at a biker and him and his bike get blown up into the air.The car chase in this movie is yet another great action scene as well as the beginning where a man walks into a shopping centre and starts blowing the place apart with his shotgun as well as killing a man for nothing.
The story is a model witnesses a crime and sees the face of the killer and becomes the target of a serial killer. But he isn't on his own. He has a whole army behind him and she is the target. This army likes to kill people,"kill the weak so the strong can survive" so the leader of the army says. A police specialist is assigned to protect the woman and he is nicknamed The Cobra, real name Marion Cobretti.
I love it at the end of the movie when the leader of the gang says the Cobra has gotta arrest him but Sly says, "This is where the law stops, and I start."Classic line. The soundtrack to this film is great too, with "Feel the Heat" probably being the best song.Few stars are all that's available to rate this film but I would give it ten out of five if I could.

Summary: The Cure of Crime!
Review: Forget Rambo, this bad mother is the ultimate immortal. Marion Cobretti prefers "Cobra" and anything he says, goes! Stallone is a tough cop who is on the search for a serial killer who also happens to be a part of the 'New Order' a cult that sacrifices innocent women. Not nice! Stallone protects a model from being a victim and he unleashes everything he's got. Machine guns and explosions! I can't get enough of it! The car chases are truly spectacular and Stallone is a wizard! Clearly, he is the second immortal to have embraced movie audiences all around the world and he will forever be remembered for this authentic piece of action cinema.

Summary: Stallone can't pull a rambo here.
Review: Stallone's prefermance was surprisingly strong as this twisted tale bombed. Stallone as usual plays a one-man army placed against a cult of neo-fascist revolutionaries, who like to kill attractive women with claw-like metal slashing devices. Stallone is a rogue policeman on a squad nobody likes, the zombie squad. The zombie squad is a small composition of individuals who handle terriosts usually armed with weapons and hostages. (Cobra is merely the name of Sylvestor Stallone's character.)

As for these neo-fascists, strange seens show them clanging their weaopons in large groups making it seem that they are praying to their leader. By the way, the implied leader speaks a total of four or five lines and always seems to be driping with sweat.

Now, as for how these two groups (the neos and Stallone) came together was merely a clash of occupation. One girl who was targeted to be killed by the neo-fascists escaped and Stallone was giving the seemingly easy and boring task of guarding her.

Cobra is action packed with violence, gore, and loads of weapons, orthodox and un-. If your in for a decent 80's flick Cobra would be the place to look.
