    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.

      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.

    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.

So they go out and kill to feel satisfaction and powerful.

    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:)

    • @DougRayPhillips
      @DougRayPhillips 9 днів тому

    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.

    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.

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.
