Fun fact, the submachine gun on the poster and used by Cobra in the movie is a Jatimatic, a Finnish gun. A lesser known weapon, this movie is one of its very few appearances in media.
The other two times I can think of without opening IMFDb are "Bad Boys" and "Red Dawn".
I'm 90+% on Will Smith having one, maybe in the second movie. And the Russian Spetznas "Hunter" brought in to deal with the Wolverines had one in the final base attack, IIRC.
I think in Robocop 2, the kid uses it too , only 400 produced , mainly for testing, but no sales, caliber 9 x19 mm same as Cobras Colt ,
Also Swedish SMG Carl Gustav M/45 (from 1945) and its copy S&W M76 (from 1967) clips fit on Jatimatic.
@@scotthewitt258 A fellow IMFDB user, hello!
The unusual shape was due to the bolt reciprocating at an angle to redirect the recoil and enhance control. The KRISS uses a similar design philosophy, but a different execution. It also results in an unusual looking weapon.
Toy guns at the time and even guns in video games were imitating this one.
“You couldn’t pay me to wear that outfit.”
“Really? You’d do it for free!?”
Had me cracking up for almost a minute!😂
Me too!
Gotta love a woman who doesn't compromise herself even for her BF or HB.
You know Cobra was serious about speed and crashing, he had 5 point racing harnesses in his car.
When he used that Nitrous button.....
I was done.
Jaw dropped to the floor.
Thinking like "is there nothing his car can't do ?!"
Kudos to Sylvester Levay, who scored this film. The soundtrack and Brian Thompson's performance made this film scarier than many horror films imo.
For sure. I had a nightmare or two about that big scary looking dude with the stocking on his head when I was like four or five years old.
The great Brian Thompson is in this ....with a face only a mother and horror directors could love 😅😅
Apparently he's a Dad, so someone else also loved Brian lol.
He and Robert Z'Dar should've worked together extensively.
He's born to play the villains. He has the whole package. He has the face, the muscles, the height (6 feet 3) and the voice. He don"t need to wear the hockey mask to be scary.
Feels strange that he was the second ever person to be killed by a Terminator on screen. Bill Paxton being the first of course. I wonder if he came in originally to try for the role of Terminator. He would have been great.
@stevesheroan4131 I could be wrong, but I think he's also the only one ever to be impaled by both Schwarzenegger (Terminator) and Stallone (Cobra).
13:39 :Hey it's Sledgehammer. Now he's a REAL cop ! ... "Trust me, I know what I'm doing"
Oh wow.
Saturdays nights on ABC in 1986.
That's what was watching.
@@k.delpino1124 After Sidekicks with Gil Gerard and Ernie Reyes Jr!
@@Mokkari77 that one too.
Hands down, to me, this is the best Stallone movie ever. I'm here not for the wine but the cheese.
13:45 Sledge Hammer is the only cop who can crack this case! Seriously, if you've never seen the TV series 'Sledge Hammer' it's a life changing experience!
Cobra is close to what Sylvester Stallone's Beverly Hills Cop screenplay was originally like before Paramount scrapped it.
Stallone rewrote most of the script, removed the comedy and turned it into a standard 80's action movie. The producer dropped him quick after his revisions. And it was a good thing seeing Eddie Murphy was perfect for the role.
I think he was inspired by the real life 1985 Night Stalker case . He added it into the film loosely based on it . His term Night slasher
Venice Beach Cop
@@SUK2293nice
True
Marion Cobretti, the man who never lets criminals Off The Hook.
🥁
FUN FACT: Stallone would bring in George P Cosmatos (who also directed Rambo II) to be credited as "director" but was actually taking direction from Stallone himself. While making Tango & Cash, Kurt Russel suggested he wanted to direct a little Western project but was not sure how to go about it, so Stallone mentioned Cosmatos, as such, Russel brought in Cosmatos to direct Tombstone, which many have said since and Russel confirmed after Cosmatos death, that Russel was the actual director of the film.
And George is the father of Panos Cosmatos the director of Mandy, Beyond the Black Rainbow and The Viewing (an episode of Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities
Not according to Michael Biehn.
There's a lot more extreme closeups in Rambo 2 then there are in movies Stallone has directed.Tombstone also has a lot of closeups so I'm inclined to think Cosmatos was at least involved in the shooting.
Not quite. Cosmatos was hired on after Kevin Jarre, the writer of “Tombstone” who was making his directorial debut, was fired after a bad first couple of weeks.
@@Mokkari77Russell storyboarded and came up with shot lists and worked on the script, but ultimately, Cosmatos had to execute it. Cosmatos also had experience directing action sequences while Russell had never directed anything. So the claims that Russell directed are slightly exaggerated.
Oh yeah , this is the one where Stallone eats some pizza with scissors 😅😅
I've done this with leftover pizza for years now, because if this film 😛
Fave Stallone misquote ,.. "im the disease you're the cure" 😂
It's crazy that this is a dark and more violent version of BEVERLY HILLS COP
Well Stallone decided to not be in Beverly Hills Cop, since they wanted to go more funny than action! That is why he wrote and made this!
@@shallendorit was the tone of the novel he adapted for Cobra that fit what he was trying to make.
@@k.delpino1124 Yep. Fair Game, sadly later adapted into a pretty bad flick with Cindy Crawford no less.
BEVERLY HILLS COBRA.
I love this movie. Stallone's most underrated film.
Hard damn facts!!!
i also love this movie its my favorite very underrated for sure
Cop Land ??
Sylvester Stallone had a special knife made for the Night Slasher that was really sharp, and the actor Brian Thompson actually cut himself in the movie when he set an a line “the girl is mine”
Half the movie is him sharpening his knife 🔪 😂
Those thugs were lucky Sledgehammer didn't have his talking gun
Oh, and the thing about the meeting at the start:
The Night Slasher's "New Order" is basically about dissatisfied angry people unhappy with themselves and their lives all gathering together and trying to find ways of taking out their frustrations by joining the Night Slasher's Philosophy of "Strong Kills Weak, Murder makes Order". So they go out and kill to feel satisfaction and powerful.
It's like Fight Club, except here it's "Psycho Murderer Club". People going out and committing murders and crimes to feel better.
in 2024
we call them
RIGHT WING BETA MALES
in a
RED HAT ORANGE CULT
Definitely one of my favorite Stallone flicks. Great soundtrack.
Nice. I always refer to this one as the Italian Stallion meets Dirty Harry. They even had two actors from the original Dirty Harry. Reni Santoni who played both Harry’s partner and Sly’s in this one, and of course Andy Robinson who plays one of his superiors and Scorpio in Dirty Harry. I’m pretty sure it’s an homage in a way, but it also has its own unique vibe that makes it fantastic:)
Sure it's a homage. Here, Andy Robinson is a cop who goes by the book and tries to rein Cobra in from "excess." In Dirty Harry, Robinson was the psycho who manipulated the system and the by-the-book cops.
The grocery store was also in a Dirty Harry movie. Cobra is like an alternate Dirty Harry universe. 😂
It was Sly himself who suggested Santoni & Robinson.
You gotta to love Stallone’s 1950 Mercury in this. He actually owned the car too.
Among the few Mercuries that had no scratch on it.
The other ones...........
Not so lucky.
@@k.delpino1124 license plate mffdvr
Yeah, Golan and Globus sure as hell weren’t gonna pay for a vintage lead sled. They went into debt just paying Sly’s salary.
Night Slasher is the same Guy who got his Heart torn out by the Terminator.
"Wash day tomorrow. Nothing clean, right?"
Pet theory: Demolition Man is the sequel to Cobra.
I can believe that!
Stone Cold imo...even though it didnt star Stallone.
The photographer played by David Rasche is best known for his role in the series Sledgehammer which you guys would love😂
movie
MASTERS OF MENACE
Classic Stallone. I love the part in the hospital. She's screaming for help, nothing. She pulls fire alarm. All of the sudden there's a hundred people in the hall.😅
Frank Stallone was one of the singers around the trash can fire that Sly stops to listen to in the opening scenes of Rocky so in a very real sense you have heard him sing before, and yes Frank would sing in many of his brothers film soundtracks and also the stuff he starred in to.
Frank Stallone was part of the stable of Forgotten Brothers. Also in this group was Eric Douglas, Randy Jackson, Larry Jordan and Ramon Estevez.
@@mcentepede oh cool, now that I did not know
Also sang:
Take you back from Rocky 1
Pushin Rocky 3

@@russellward4624 oh man Over The Top!!! I haven't thought about that movie in forever, one of the best long haul trucker arm wrestling movies ever made!
Never really paid attention to his music, but he has released eight albums
"that's where they make the Sunny D"
"In the foundry?"
"Yeah!"
What a ridiculous exchange! I love it!
This movie is so 80's it is dang near incomprehensible...even for those of us who lived through the 80's.
It’s not quite as 80’s as The Last Dragon (which I will argue is the most 80’s movie ever), but it is definitely up there in the hierarchy.
@@stevesheroan4131 Perfectly fair. The Last Dragon is a good choice for the title. It's an enjoyable watch, while still being a big ol' chunk of steaming 80's cheese!
@@stevesheroan4131 Nah, Rad (1986) is more 80's then The Last Dragon
@@iaincowell9747 Never saw that one, so I’ll have to check it out.
“Welcome to California 😂😂😂😂.”
I was eating broccoli 🥦 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Andy Robinson, who plays the captain was the same actor who played the serial killer Scorpio in "Dirty Harry". That might account for some perceived creepiness.
He is also a plain, simple tailor.
@@scotthewitt258 yeah Elim Garak
He was the dad in Hellraiser as well
In the original cut of the film, there actually was a reveal for his character that accounts for pretty much all of that perceived creepiness...
Perfect reversal too.
For a sec I thought Mrs. Movies already saw this because of the new order in the film with her nWo shirt 😂
This was favorite growing up, this and Arnold’s Raw Deal is a great equivalent to this
The guy sharpening the blade was the one of the punks in the beginning of terminator. "Wash day! Nothing clean right?"
Stallone was suppose to be in "Beverly Hills Cop" 1984. He was let go over creative differences and wrote as well as starred in "Cobra" 1986. In "Beverly Hills Cop 2" 1987, not only is there a scene with a "Cobra" poster in the background, but both movie have Brigette Nielson in them who was Stallone's wife at the time.
Oh man being 6 yrs old and seeing this when it came out was awesome. Although I did always wonder, at the grocery store there were 100 cops there, easily, but they call in one man. Nevermind the amount of firepower already present on the scene😅 John Rambo would have my back.
Frank Stallone has a song on "Over The Top"
Mrs. Movies is nWo 4 Life!
Some other fun Stallone action films... the Specialist and Assassins
Not so fun fact: 4:16 Supermarket killer was Marco Rodríguez. Marco portrayed Detective Torres in the 1994 film, The Crow with Brandon Lee. (Think you guys reviewed it)
15:20 Your little Angel is adorable. If I had children, it would be difficult for me to refuse them anything, you were right of course not letting her drink OJ before bed.
25:43 I remember those yellow pen dispenser machines on the right. There was one at our supermarket when I was a kid.
One dime for a pen.
5:21 Detective Monte, Andy Robinson (on right), played the scorpio killer in the first Dirty Harry, 1971. Cobras partner, Detective Gonzales,, Reni Santoni, was also in Dirty Harry as Clints partner, he was also shot but survived in that movie.
Love his car in this and his Truck in The Expendables.
Both were Ford and also Mercury models.
The car chase in The Expendables with Barney and Yang was inspired by the car chases in Cobra.
Honestly, if his acting was like it was in this movie for judge dredd it wouldve been perfect like the 2012 adaptation.
It's perfect as it is, except for comic book geeks taking their stuff too seriously
@@jovanjorgovan23 Agree to disagree,🤷
You know what?
Never thought of that.
Haha. Let's do some "Yo's". Thank you for Kyle Dunnigan reference.
Thanks for making fun of this movie and those wise cracks.
This being my favorite film of all time, that was very appreciated.
The first half of this movie was directed like a giallo / slasher-horror film, then Stallone took over and directed the ending as an 80's action hero extravaganza. It's a crazy movie...with a lot of great car stunts.
Great Stallone flick, definitely one of his most iconic from its time period.
Please could you react to both Lock Up and Daylight both lesser watched Stallone movies that 100% deserve more attention than they get.
Gotta admit, I'm not a big stallone fan, but I've seen Lockup and Daylight and I agree with you.
I love this movie!!! Saw it multiple times in the theater,and i adopted Stallone's look in real life. Cobra's look was so cool. This movie served as a kind of Dirty Harry reunion with Andy Robinson and Reni Santoni in it.
Hands down one of the best car chases ever.
Another great car chase (if you like them a lot) is in the movie Short Time with Dabney Coleman. It’s the highlight of the movie IMO.
@@stevesheroan4131 Heck yeah it was.
If you want to see the greatest car chase scene ever in a movie. See the movie Bullitt.
@@dall1786 I figured that one was already understood, so I was just giving a lesser known option
@@stevesheroan4131 Gotcha. It's an older movie that gets overlooked all the time.
It was so funny how the ominous score was paired with all those upbeat, anthemic 80s tunes.
Heyyy Kimi!! The scene at the end where the Creeper sniffs them both... He was trying to see who had what he needed. He apparently needed a healthy pair of eyes. There is a scene towards the beginning when they are in the car driving that shows Trish holding a a pair of glasees which means he had the healthier eyes of them both. Keep up the great reactions!! 👍🏾
Frank can be seen singing in both Rocky and Rocky 2. He is the lead singer on the street corner with the burn barrel. He also had a song "Far From Over?" in "Staying Alive" directed by Sly.
The leader of the kill group was the guy in Terminator that Arnold ripped out his heart while taking the other guy's clothes.
Dark vibe of the 80 is priceless. Soundtrack is also cool. Used to play it in my first car ;)
And those crime statistics at the start of the movie were from 1986; imagine what they’re like now!!
That close-up on the plate was definitely less ketchup than she sprayed!
One of my absolute favorite Stallone movies. It’s so underrated.
Stallone said he got the idea for the LAPD's "Zombie Squad" from a real-life Zombie Squad in Belgium, comprised of cops who go out at night and handle crazed criminals on their own terms.
4:17 - "That's true, I guess you can't judge people, huh?" I was once in a convenience store in line behind an older biker who had a hook for a hand.
11:49 - "And try not to waste the wrong guy, huh? Then again, what do you care?" - Andrew Robinson, who played the killer in the first Dirty Harry movie.
13:31 - "That kid's the super-soldier from the X-Files." - Incorrect. He was the shape-shifting alien assassin, who had the toxic blood. The super-soldier was played by Adam Baldwin, who played Jayne Cobb in Firefly.
Happy 40th.Welcome to the club.
The main killer with the cartoon drawing of his face, the same guy that got fisted in the chest by Schwarzenegger in Terminator 1 at the beginning with Bill Paxton
That is a true statement.
"nothing clean, right?"
You did see Frank Stallone singing in Rocky. He was the leader of the do-wop singers on the street corner. You can recognize him in the movie by his very full head of curly black hair.
"welcome to California"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 ain't that the truth?
Fun fact. Stallone was in talks to do Beverly Hills cop but as an action movie. Producers were worried about the cost of his stunts and suggest he read the Cobra script.
9:04 Wearing mirrored glasses, a leather jacket and biker gloves while eating Tabasco sauce on cold pizza and drinking raw eggs while also cleaning his gun. Only Stallone can make this look good.
I'm from South Africa, and I know that palm trees were invented in Miami... LUL
Never realized this until only maybe within the last 10 years, but Brian Thompson was one of the *skinny* punks in Terminator, the one who knifes Arnold before getting his heart removed by hand, and was pretty much the same size as his other punk buddy, Bill Paxton. 2 years later and Thompson was this muscular almost hulking brute of the Night Slasher.
How did this NOT get an 80s cartoon series I will never know. Would have played great between Rambo The Force of Freedom and Robocop.
That one lady was the mom of a serial killer operating out of a funeral home on NCIS. Ducky almost bought it that episode.
Stallone's 2nd collabration with dir. George Cosmatos following RAMBO:First Blood part 2 and first of 2 films produced with The Cannon Group.
I know that originally Stallone wanted to do Beverly Hills Cop with his plans, script revisions and didn't work out, so he let it go.
Axel Foley would've been so hardcore as "The Motor City Cobra".
But adapting Paula Gosling's crime novel, Fair Game with his own ideas still became some goodness.
Stallone as Marion Cobretti is just perfect, although we don't see much of his 'Zombie Squad' affiliates which would've been interesting.
His 1950 Ford Mercury, the weaponry, style of clothes, his one liners, the attitude and delivering hella a**whippings.
Brigitte Nielsen as Ingrid played a believable victim, her and Sly (pre-divorce) did have some good chemistry.
The late Reni Santoni plays Cobretti's partner when originally it was Mickey Rourke during the original 'Beverly Hills Cop' scripting.
Brian Thompson as The Night Slasher was also perfectly sick and deadly (man, that knife).
Throughout this movie from the action to drama, suspense and procedural Cop moments, Cobra & Slasher are polar opposites.
One wants the weak and innocent eradicated while the other has to dish out complete pain on all the psychos.
In the end, it's about whose left standing.
The soundtrack is dope with all kinds of hugh energy and ballads.
Top tracks are Jean Beauvoir (Feel The Heat) and Robert Teppert (Angel of The City).
I was 6 when this came out.
Didn't see it with my father till I was 7.
But it is definitely one of my favorite Stallone/1980s classics.
Btw, the novel Fair Game was adapted again as an film from 1995 with William Baldwin & Cindy Crawford.
One of my all time favorite Sly movies, so underrated
Great movie. A very underrated movie. Do you know this movie was made by Stallone when he was offered to played in The Beverly Hills Cop movie. When Stallone saw the script he thought it was too lighthearted so he took his ideas for the movie and made the movie Cobra. Also the guy who plays the actor who plays the captain who is against Cobra methods played in the movie Dirty Harry (A movie with the same basic ideas you should see) as the bad guy. Fyi in the 80s they made a really funny spoof tv show on Cobra/Dirty Harry movies called Sledge Hammer (The lead actor in the tv series actually has a small role in this movie) you should see it.
Another fun aside.. Cobra's partner is played by the same actor who played Harry's partner in "Dirty Harry" to further solidify that connection.
Also.. Respect.. So few people remember Sledge Hammer! Such a great series.
@@mcgilj1 Trust me I know what I am doing :)
@@totomomo18 not even God knows what you are doing Hammer!
Fun fact. In an early draft, monty was supposed to be revealed as the leader at the end
Police report = He was the disease and I was the cure. My name is Cobra aka Antibiotic. Lol 😆
I saw that in the theater back in 1986 I think, and I asked my dad for some cool "Cobra" shades...I didn't get them of course! That theme song was Fire! 🤣🤣🤣

The awesome song at the end is by the singer and group that supplied the vocals for the eddie and the cruisers movie
Always felt that they added the teaser trailer to the beginning of this 😂
You truly haven't lived until you have cut off a piece of pizza with scissors.
34:22 - LEADER OF THE CLAN? You might recognize him and recall his line of dialogue from 'Terminator'. "Wash day tomorrow. Nothing clean. Right?"
I came in my pants as a result of TBR's impression.
Nice, reactions to a Stallone movie are always welcome :)
I've been wanting to recommend some of his movies on your site for a long time, but your tier for them on Patreon has been consistently sold out for months (at least every time I stop by), so plan B has to keep working, which is to rely on your patrons to keep making recommendations as good as these.
35:53 of course, Stallone wears sunglasses all movie, but not when riding a motorcycle. Most unrealistic part of the movie, your eyes would be watering and sore AF
"Creepy" detective Monte (Andrew Robinson) was Scorpio in "Dirty Harry" - one of the creepiest performances of all.
Jack Nicholson use an axe for masonry in The Shining
Really think you should give Stallone's "Oscar" a watch.
It's a comedy with a great cast and pretty fast paced, kinda like Clue.
The Stallone brothers did a movie together back in the eighties called Gasoline Alley.
Cobra is good, over-the-top, 80's fun. Not to be confused with Sylvester Stallone's movie; Over The Top.
Yeah, that was the Alien Bounty Hunter from X-Files. Brian Thompson was a mainstay as the Heavy in a lot of movies over the years. He's been beat up by Sly, Ah-nuld, Bruce Willis, and Kevin Costner. He's been a Klingon, an alien in Alien Nation, Shao Kahn in Mortal Kombat.
He's even managed to play a good guy a few times over the decades.
He was also in Lionheart with Van Damme
Frank had several songs on soundtracks. I hung out with him in Nashville and he was sitting there playing songs on a guitar Ted Nugent had brought to be auctioned. We sat there for a couple of hours just the 2 of us, good times.
That's not Frank, it's John Cafferty.
I saw this for the first time on AMC in 2016, I had no clue it existed before then.
Hey man you killing it with the one liners 😂😂😂😂
Yeah most people expect the captain to be behind it all - and he was in the original cut!
Rhinestone is a funny one. Underrated comedy.
You have to see Sylvester Stallone's beautiful but underrated Paradise Alley (1978). He wrote, directed and starred in it. It has a lot of Rocky vibes.
35:39 Yup, I believe Frank Stallone is the guy singing in the street huddling with others around that flaming trashcan in the original Rocky. And yup, that definitely sounds very Bruce Springsteen-esque.
Also, Frank features more heavily in a few movies. Off the top of my head, I can think of Barfly, where he plays the barman, although he's really just in a few scenes in that...
I saw this in the theater when I was 13. I thought it was pretty cool.
The best part was the Aliens teaser trailer before the movie. No one knew it was coming, no internet back then, of course. I spent the next six months counting the days to the release of Aliens. I was not disappointed
In the original script, it was actually supposed to be Monty (the a-hole cop) that was unmasked at the end to be the real leader of the cult.
This is in my "So bad its good" collection. Sometimes you don't know whether to cringe or laugh, the mark of a true classic.
In terms of acting, the last speech by Rambo in First Blood is IMO unmatched. By any other roles and most other movies no matter what actor.
Other movies of his I suggest are Copland and Oscar. Two movies that are not mentioned that much, but IMO are so worth watching!
Fun fact, the Sgt in this movie, ends up years later starting his own restaurant, which unfortunately sells after health issues and health and safety issues. Interesting guy, just don't ask him to sit on a sofa.
This might be the first "action/horror" picture, I can't think of an earlier one. That hospital chase was just as scary as any other Jason or Freddy movie. Cool hyrbid.
Apparently, there was supposed to be a twist at the end that Andrew Robinson was the _real_ inside man, and the lady cop was subordinate to him. Because she was just a uniformed cop, and she shouldn't really have all the inside info that she does. But for whatever reason they dropped it. I don't think they even filmed it. Maybe they thought it was a little too contrived or something.
Punching the annoying guy at the end was a typical 80’s action ending. It happened in Die Hard, but I’m sure there were a couple more.
