Stephen Bird There's nothing fancy about Cobra, it's a down and dirty action flick from the best era of action films period!Sylvester Stallone + 1980's = epic! Cobra came along at the right time and thank God it did, unlike the films of today that have to be polished and conform to strict guidelines, Cobra made up its own rules and did whatever the Hell it wanted.It's cool without really trying at all, Stallone is slick and his appearance oozes machismo, his black mop of hair, the sunglasses that are more manly than anything you see in modern action films, his no nonsense attitude, man he'll kick your ass for just looking at him wrong, the plot is simple but oh boy does it work!The opening scene and the action within sets the tone and you know exactly what to expect from Cobra thereafter, a lone gunman walks into a supermarket, without warning or clear motive he begins to shoot up the place......In steps Marion Cobretti, more commonly known as Cobra, without breaking a sweat he immediately puts the scarers into the gunman before taking him down like a pro, awesome. What follows is a simple story of the police, plus Cobra, trying to take down a murderous cult who's sole intention is to kill, as simple as that, nothing fancy, nothing elaborate, just some plain old bad guys doing some seriously weird bad guy stuff. Personally I really enjoyed the car chase scene involving Cobra and a girl he has just rescued, Ingrid, chasing down the bad guys, again a simple car chase with some awesome, realistic stunts, like racing up and down a roller coaster of a road.Aww breathe it in, when action films were seriously cool, if you intend to watch Cobra, remember one thing, just enjoy it, nothing more, don't analyse it, don't expect extravagance, this is pure action from a bygone era, OH the 80's!

MarkAmovie A brutal movie with one of the best and most original deaths of a villain. The film does not have much going for it both from the story or characters but it still manages to be a great 80's action. It is by no means Stallone's best work, however, the dark tone is surprisingly fresh when you consider that Lethal weapon, Robocop and Beverly hills cop, were released a year later. There's just something about this movie that is so good that one can only understand once you've watched it. A must see for any Stallone fan, as I feel this one is a truly unique action film.

Mr-Fusion I've gotta be honest, I thought that disappointment was imminent, but "Cobra" is one of the more entertaining Cannon flicks I've seen. It's no secret this is Stallone's "Dirty Harry" (the opening, the politics, even recycling some of the same actors) but there's a self-awareness here that makes it palatable. Stallone's that great '80s badass, shooting first, taking the law into his own hands . . . and yet you can't help but laugh at the getup (those jeans, that matchstick hanging out of his mouth). And who eats pizza with gloves on? Really, I've got nothing bad to say about this - it knows how absurd all of this is and I enjoyed it. The pacing's good, the one-liners are hammy, and I love Stallone's distaste for ketchup.Ain't bad at all.7/10

adonis98-743-186503 Cutting a Pizza with a scissors is enough for me of why this movie is awesome first and most important Stallone is hilarious and amazing he totally owns the role, also Brigitte Nielsen is pretty good too and Brian Thompson in his 2nd and probably last good performance 2 years before this movie came out he looked like a skeleton now 2 years later the dude is ripped as hell. Let's also not forget the amazing soundtrack like 'Feel The Heat' and 'Angel Of The City' easily one of my favorite movies of Stallone next to Rambo, Rocky, Expendables and many many more. It's not meant to be taken seriously but it's one hell of an experience. Cobra is without a doubt a classic movie and it gets an A+
