Examples of why Lt. Marion Cobretti aka Cobra is such a badass: - You're suppose to place your car keys in the same place every time you return home. Cobra just tosses his keys anywhere. - Cobra doesn't wash his hands before eating. - Cobra walks and runs, all while wearing a leather jacket and leather gloves (80-90° weather). - Cobra is too cool to remove his sunglasses while indoors. - Cobra is single because he's too badass to fall in love. - Cobra orders out because, again, Cobra is too badass to cook. - Cobra cuts his food with scissors. - Cobra drives a super-duper muscle car. - Cobra keeps a matchstick in his mouth. - Cobra doesn't call his mom. Not ever. - Cobra doesn't wear an undershirt. - Cobra doesn't wear a gun holster. He just tucks his "piece" in his pants. - Cobra doesn't bathe or shower. - Cobra doesn't deal with psychos, he puts them away.

@@trillioncrownsCobretti was definitely drawing from ancient mystical powers that gave him near supernatural strength, endurance & warrior prowess.

Seriously, there is so much WIN in this scene. Great song; newspaper on the grill; super yuppie-looking apartment; eating rock hard literal frozen pizza WITH scissors; flicking the remote to turn on the TV; Xmas jingle on a typical sunny L.A. day; Cobra wearing his shades AND gloves virtually the entire scene; gun cleaning with cleaning implements in an empty egg carton.
@@roberth4395 It's the TV that clicks. I used to have a MAG InnoVision XJ700T monitor that would click like that all the time. (changing resolutions etc.)
its not only music and movies from the 80´s that was so fantastic .. the atmosphere was so much more calm than today , stress, hate, the internet brings the worst up into people and they trashtalk eachother , feels like a horrormovie you can´t turn off
What you talking about?? the Axe Killers were about as hateful as one can get! but yeah true the rest of the vibes pretty chill and 80’s like thats probly why they stood out.. perhaps were now living in the “New World!” They were hoping for 🤔... but your right also the internet has fcked alot of sht up..
Scenes such as this just reverberate to the depths of one's soul with grace, beauty and this sweet, euphoric inspiration, all of which lovingly blossoms into this sublime, soul restoring bliss. In other words, it is the finest exemplar of THE STALLONE EFFECT!!!
I am the same age as Stallone, birthdays less than six months apart. I like this scene and watch it again and again because it reminds me of when I was that age and had that look, similar height and build, same hair, aviator glasses, tight blue jeans, square toed boots, and single.
That song is so cheesy but fits so well in this scene. "Working too hard trying to make a living" as he comes home from another long day at work putting away bad guys.
Gloria Estefan was a big star of the 80's and this song was a hit of the time..for a good reason. The song screams 80's from a mile away and this makes it awesome.
Lol noticed only now he taken pizza box from his freezer, which makes some sense for left over food, and that he use scissors to cut, but then he ate frozen pizza 😂 probably coolest movie scene in the world.
Cobretti was so into healthy food the pizza must have been his cheat meal for the week. As well as a few sips of coors saving the day at the Supermarket. 😂 I'm not sure what the cutting the pizza with scissors was supposed to convey....probably that he was a bachelor who didn't need to do things the proper way or play by the rules because he lived alone. As he told his love interest later in the film "not many people could put up with the way I live". Sly wrote Cobra he must have been on a real health food kick around this time when he had some of his best physiques. He banters with his partner about their diets quite a bit and a lot of the quote unquote "jokes" are about food. Great flick. One of my faves and best late night B action movies to flip on when you don't know what else to watch.
At a noodle bar I once ordered from, I ordered a Chicken Katsu noodle box. The girl who took my order picked up a noodle box, put the noodles in there, then took a hot breaded flat chicken breast and held it for a moment while she reached out for something to cut it with. She then grabbed a pair of scissors and cut the breast into strips with it onto the noodles, then covered it with a massive spoon of hot curry sauce. I had never seen that before and it took me back to this scene. I can only assume that pair of scissors was strictly for food use.
such a classical scene! Guy comes home...another boring day at work, bla bla bla, killed few people this morning...bla bla bla... but he only gets distracted (ie. takes glasses off) when hears some bad news on TV
When he first enters his apartment, there is a telescope in the backroom. It is pointed across the street ...... Maybe he is watching where his car is parked.
Troppo forte questa scena.. il suo look è fenomenale, barba incolta, capello anni 80, cerino in bocca da coatto puro, occhiali ray ban a goccia che sono tornati di moda oggi tra l'altro. Il massimo del coatto anni 80. Sei un grande Sly!
Only Stallone could have gotten this movie “across” like he did. A huge star with a number of blockbusters to his credit gave him clout to play this character in this hyper-masculine, idiosyncratic manner in the way he did. This movie is art in a way most Hollywood “Prestige Films” only wish they could be. Can you imagine Meryl Streep doing anything but lowering the quality of this film? Unless of course Streep had been the poor lady who got her car bumped into and knifed…I’d have enjoyed that a lot lol.
Watching this on Christmas and cleaning my Colt Gold Cup National Match Series 70 45 Caliber with Cobra grips and eating pizza to boot just like Cobra.
1:32 - “Tonight, the man known as the “Night Slasher” has apparently struck for the 16th time in just over a month’s time. The 22-year-old victim was mutilated with a sharp instrument and seem to be just as unlikely a victim as the other 15th. Not much else is known. Other than that, the Night Slasher prays upon anyone. His victims have included businessmen, Asian immigrants, the elderly and in one case: a sexually assaulted child. The serial killer has thrown the city into a growing panic, and up until now, no one has had a clue to his identity. The killer has been known to crawl through windows, cut telephone wires and kill the victims in their sleep. A method of death has been mainly silent instruments such as claw hammers, knives and axes.”
That's a really nice rooftop apartment on Venice Beach with a cool neon Pepsi sign on top. That apartment building is still there on Venice Beach. That would be awesome to have that same room up top.
I'm not even offended by using scissors to cut cold pizza. I'm more baffled as to, why on Earth is he cutting it in the first place?!?!? It's one slice, and he has teeth for goodness sake! Damned philistine! Just bite!
I need to be eating a piece of scissor cut pizza in a beachfront bachelor pad while wearing my gloves and sunglasses. Otherwise my whole life feels like one big failure
Who else still cuts their pizza using scissors because of this scene??? I need to start doing it again. I sure as shit did when I was around 9 or 10 years old and did so for a few years

Never try to fuck with the Cobra.
and the most important, Cobra doesn't like lousy shots.
But no sofa, and only one desk seat... ah, right - he's too badass to have guests
Cobra keeps a machine gun for backup
He ate maybe a third of that slice and wiped out the Night Slasher and his entire gang in about a week. Imagine if he ate the entire slice...
Never thought about it that way lol

While listening to pure 80's latin synth music. Can't forget that.
So EPIC! 🤣 🤣 🤣
With all that natural light, why did he turn the kitchen light on??? Lol
And the sign of Pepsi?
That Toys R Us commercial brings back so many good memories growing up in the 80s!
Scenes like this keeps me motivated to stay on top... Whatever life throws at me... What a sunglasses, what an attitude... What a personality...

Science offers us no explanation.
"Night Slasher" - I think it was inspired by Night Stalker, who terrorized L.A. randomly just 1 year earlier.
The zodiac killer inspired scorpio from Dirty Harry.
actually was only months earlier.
They just recently caught the Night Stalker through one of his family members genealogy test.

The 80s had the best action Movies. Man I miss the 1980 s
"Go ahead, I don't shop here." 😂

YEEH CUT THAT PIZZA WITH THEM SCISSORS *came*
Its too keep the six pack
This was a very, very VERY good action movie. It actually had a Terminator (1984) feel to it because of how dark and violent it was.
love the Pepsi sign
Everything in this scene oozes cool!!!
Who's cutting pizza with scissors?🤣 love the movie!
I do...but i actually make slices with scissors I dont cut like this
I tried eating half of a pizza today... Ended up having 6 slices

It's a classic bit but the video title and description push it to a whole new level. Great job, behemoth!
Perfect apartment with those big windows and nice view. Looks so comfy.
Right by the ocean.
I have a theory that the freezer part of the fridge didn't work so he just used it as storage since he didn't spend much time at home anyways.
excellent theory.
Well wouldn't that pizza smell and taste kind of funky sitting in a hot ass broken down freezer?

Cutting pizza with scissors is the best idea that Hollywood has already provided.
Interestingly this movie was released a year after Richard Ramirez was serial killing in L.A.
Luckily the film was shot in the 80s. Nowadays he would wear a mask instead of sunglasses.
