COBRA (1986) Revisited - Sylvester Stallone Movie Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2022
- In 1986, Sylvester Stallone teamed with the infamous Cannon Group to follow Rambo: First Blood Part II - COBRA. Starring Stallone as what could be called the 1980s answer to Dirty Harry, the title character, aka Marion Cobretti, is a bad-ass cop on the trailer of an axe-wielding psychopath named "The Night Slasher" (Brian Thompson) who's stalking the lone witness (Brigitte Nielsen) to one of his slayings. While the film didn't spawn another franchise, Cobra remains a favorite among Stallone fans. In this episode of Sylvester Stallone Revisited, we dig into the making of the film, the various versions that existed over the years, rumours and an X-rated cut, and more!

#SylvesterStallone #Cobra #SylvesterStalloneRevisited
The movie was “ok”, but the poster was and still is iconic.
An iconice film! Cutting the pizza with the scissors must be one of the strangest things ever filmed!
It's eccentric touches like this that made older movies.
My grandma used to use a giant pair of scissors to cut pizza. We all thought she was crazy. She called them kitchen shears.
@@ngee35 was it taken out of the freezer though?
@@steveguy3 Straight from the oven.
Yes, but it works really well.
Haven’t seen this movie in a long time, but I loved it as a kid. Epitome of 80s action.
“Nighthawks” and “Assassins” are two Stallone films I never hear anyone talk about.
Man,"Assassins" , "Demolition Man" and "the Specialist" are the Holy Sly's Trinity of the 90's!Cheers.
@@acegrafik finally someone mentions the specialist
I saw Assassins in a theater. Great time.
Nighthawks was certainly underrated !!!
JoBlo’s video on Nighthawks just came up in my recommendations. (Thought I had already looked for that one.) Man, now I really want to see the 2h30m uncut version. 😐
Who can forget the bad guy hunting for Cobra shouting out "I want your eyes pig!"
It's like Shakespeare.
As a bombastic '80s action movie, it was perfect. Love the scene when he's loading his gun with the Toys R Us Christmas jingle playing in the background.
😂
I have the dvd
Stallone best stand-alone action movie, not counting Rambo and Rocky. Its so underrated.
The world would be a better place if every city had a few Cobras running around putting down criminals.
This is my favorite Stallone flick. It has one of the best car chase scenes ever.
I watched this movie as a kid. The whole axes clashing over the head thing seemed so creepy and cool to me at the time.
The axe clanking!!!
This movie is 1 hour and 23 minutes of pure 80s. Yes, I looked up the length.
Bro I still use scissors to cut my pizza 😂
You forgot to add the word GREATNESS in you're comment.😄
Sylvester Stallone would’ve made an awesome Punisher back in the 80s and this movie DEFINITELY proves it!
Without a doubt
Honestly, if you want to be 100% comic accurate, where Frank Castle is depicted as being older, Stallone would still make an awesome Punisher.
Angel of The City is the stand out track for me from this film. During that montage is another Stallone 80’s theme with robots in the photoshoot.
Since we just saw a director's cut of Rocky 4, maybe Stallone should create a new cut for this movie. It was originally supposed to be 2 hours long, but got cut. Maybe the new footage will make the movie better with more plot and character, since I only liked the action and nothing else from the theatrical cut
Supposedly they went a lot deeper into the cult and their motivations.
That would be nice. I read somewhere it was longer than 2 hours
Someone uploaded 20 minutes of deleted scenes to RUclips years ago: ruclips.net/video/iZLFgMKCo0w/видео.html
There was a longer version released on cable television or TV a great many years ago.
My wife and I love this movie! Whenever she does something silly, I'm always like "You're a menace Cobretti!" Hahaha. I think Assy McGee was based on Marion Cobretti. Also nice to see "Sledge Hammer" David Rasche as well!
ASSY MCGEE DID SOUND LIKE COBRA🤣🤣🤣
Cobra grew on me over time, I remember seeing the VHS on shelves when I was 8 years old and begging my dad to let me see it but alas he said no due to its R-rating. I eventually saw it 8 years later but the VHS had been worn out and I think my expectations were set too high. I didn’t hate it but didn’t love it at the time. Fast forward another 5 years and I saw it on DVD and loved it, I appreciate the movie on a whole different level now, I see it as a neo-noir action/thriller and it delivers in spades. I really hope we get that directors cut some day.
Love Cobra. I wish we had gotten a fun over the top violent sequel. Oh well. Never occurred to me but I think Cobra would make a fun double feature with "The First Power"
Love when Cobretti goes into the supermarket hostage situation. A woman is cowering on the ground right inside the door- out of sight of the gunman - but never thinks to leave.
She froze up,heard the axe clanking in her head!
She's out of sight of the gunman because she's on the floor. If she makes a move, that could change. Besides, how is she to know how many armed men are participating?
They even let a disgruntled businessman into their evil cult. All are welcome in the axe-clanking club!
I wonder how you recruit people for an axe murderer cult? Casually bring it up to people at work who seem like they'd enjoy axe murder?
The axe clankers trascend all social lines,yes.
An action classic. Always thought there were missing shots or scenes over some of its inconsistencies.
The editing was horrific at times, but I think it was done to avoid an X-rating.
The film was fine, the plot might not be dynamic so it feels like its missing something
@@GawrGurasBathTubPizza The final scene of the Night Stalker on fire and hanging from the hook, I guarantee that was heavily edited.
Thanks, great review as always...around '86 I happened to reach 17 and there seemed to be a permanent all over silver screen presence of Stallone throwing 3 hits in a row...Rambo2, Rocky4 and Cobra.
In Germany the film was heavily censored for theatrical release and got banned on video for public access -like many others- and remained on this status for some 28 years!
Anyway, great example of an MTV inspired cutting style and 80s visual atmosphere while at no time compromising the fact that you are witnessing an R-rated razor sharp mid Eighties macho action flick in perfection!
Never outdated along with so many other great ones like 'Extreme Prejudice' or 'No Mercy'!
Favorite part is the visible microphone on the heavy on Ocean Ave that they didn't even bother removing in the editing room.
Always thought Feel the Heat was recorded by Dirk Diggler and Reed Rothchild.
We named our Family Dog "Cobra" after we saw this movie as a kid all those years ago. Such a Classic Movie. Great 14 Years with that dog.
if it were possible, directors' cuts of both Cobra & Nighthawks are on everyones' wishlist
One of the most stylish Stallone movies ever.. that cover of him could be at Vogue..
If Sly crafts the Cobra Ultimate Director's Cut, he's got a lot of "editing" for Brigitte Nielsen.
Always liked this movie as an atypical 80's action flick. Loud action, considerable violence and a thumping soundtrack. Shame we will probably never get to see the full cut.
I'll admit... haven't seen this movie in over 20 years ...I remember digging the badassery of sly in this but also being thrown off because he never really played a character like this before this movie...just wasn't used to the cockiness he had in this ..I think it's time for a rewatch 😁✌
Always loved the film.Back in the 80's it was huge in Eastern Europe VHS's renting market.For days we couldn't get a copy.And still keep an official,genuine VHS copy from 1996 on one of my shelves.
That extended cut would be perfection. I think the movie was cut down WAY too much...
But yeah, I liked it and still do 😁
I've had this on VHS, Laser Disc, DVD and Blu-ray. It's a classic, brainless and fun 80's action flick. If you don't expect anything complicated or deep you will enjoy it. 90 minutes has always been my ideal running time length for a film as well, so Cobra just hits so many sweet spots for me.
'Brainless?' You've spent too much time listening to liberals. There's nothing brainless about Cobra.
The most Stallone ish movie ever made!! Love it
my favorite memory of this movie is his badass ride...the old Mercs are hard to beat when done just right.
I share the same dream of one day seeing a Cobra Director’s Cut.
That's what's missing in my life!!!
Cobra, Crow part 2, A better tomorrow 2 and many directors cuts we probably never gonna see.
Yea this movie is top-noch Stallone!
But considering his most iconic movies like Rambo and Rocky I have to give this one 'only' 9/10 Stallons 😉
I still proudly sport an identical trench coat on rare nights out to the city.
Pure cosplay gold.
Cannon actually had nothing to do with the making of Cobra. They had already made a deal with Stallone to make Over The Top as his next project after Rocky IV. When Warner Bros wanted Stallone to make Cobra first, they came to an arrangement with Cannon, part of which was a vanity credit for them on Cobra.
10 out of 10 classic Stallone flick... love it
Im still expecting cobra 2 : the cure for crime . But I guess my hero Stallone has a huge ego that most likely we will never gonna see this great but underrated masterpiece . Cobra is pure gem , a dark and beautiful gem
The scene at 4:03 was an important scene in the movie that gave us at the glimpse of Cobra swag on having things on his own way. Also the part cutting a cold pizza with scissors. They don't make movies like this anymore. No CGI just real action. Also the cinematography and punch dialogues was just to the point.
When he ripped his tank top down I always thought that guy was a snitch because he was wearing a wire lol Stallone and JCVD are the reason why I became an actor I hope I get the chance to work with them. I also can’t forget to mention Jim Carrey and Eddie Murphy.
I remember this movie came out when I was in middle school and one day at school we had career day and a police officer was there and somebody asked the question is there really a Zombie Squad🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
This was totally banned in Norway, so some video rentals had it unde the counter... Today you have 34 times sicker action on TV...Banshee anyone?
I wish the 2 hours version would have been released on DVD.
Cobra is badass and awesome action movie. I just wished Stallone would make a part 2 for Cobra. It screams squeal that never happened.
Yeah, I'd have liked a whole series. I think Cobra actually offers more story options than a character like Rambo.
I remember two things... the car, and the final body count (which was HUGE).
Tremendous film, and a cracking soundtrack
I actually think, in places, Stallone brought an unexpected humility to the character, showing he wasn’t above poking fun at himself - this of course only made him even more badass :)
As for that opening line... just brilliant (aka unintelligible)!
This is my favorite movie guilty pleasure but I think you might be overselling it to people who haven’t seen it. For me, the movie’s general incompetence is part of its charm. I don’t think it’s a good example of 80s action, especially if your bar is set as high as First Blood, Rocky III or Commando. I think it’s also unfair to compare it to the Dirty Harry films, which I think are generally much more thoughtful films than Cobra. There’s a certain sadness to the way Eastwood plays Harry Callahan that completely eludes Stallone/Cobretti. Harry sort of hates himself at the end. Cobretti isn’t anywhere near as self aware.
This film is soo good. It’s like the embodiment of the 80’s all in one. One of Stallone’s and one of the best action movies of all time. I would love a sequel on this.
Over the top dumb 80s fun movie, we need more of those.
Brian Thompson was scary
When this was first released on VHS my friend and I watched it twice through in one sitting. Not because we thought it was a good action movie (although it does have some good action in it) but because its macho dialogue and posturing were so over the top it is an unintentional comedy.
This and Demolition Man are my two favorite Stallone movies
Even better than the 'trademark' Rocky and Rambo films ~
I would add Nighthawks (1981) and The Specialist (1996) as well ~
@@bonghunezhou5051 YASSS
This is one of the pure gems of action movies during the good old 80's😎👍🏿
Friggin loved this movie as a kid.
I used to sneak it from my dads vhs collection.
Instead bank rolling Snyder's self indulgant passion projects, Warner Bros should be creating director's cuts of this film and Ken Russell's The Devils
WB cut ties with snyder.
Damn, you totally reminded me that Jim Carrey actually played Dirty Harry's nemesis in The Dead Pool(1988)..has he ever been the bad guy ( no the Cable Guy doesn't count) again? 🤔🤔🤔
One of the Batman movies
@@Surreyredneck dammit! 😂 You're right!
A series of unfortunate events
And sonic 1 and 2
Dude you watched this as a kid, for a baby sitting for you. I was forced to watch this as a fourth grader with my brother who was in first grade by our uncle… I thought it was going to be like rocky boy was I wrong🤣🤣🤣
Chris does a great Stallone voice.
Anyone chewing on a match is fkn hilarious 😂
Wish the uncut movie was out there..
Great vid, love it too - music, style - all.
Just watched on Blu for 1st time since watching this vid.
John's passion for the music really made it jump this time.
Make mo mistske, there's a reason I sought out and bought the sdtk twice but that renewed it.
Also many echos of Dirty Harry in this re: the cop willing to break rules to stop killers.
Not to mention Andy Robinson & Reni Santoni.
I went into Subway today to get a healthy sandwich. The older lady behind the counter helped me and started preparing my sandwich for me. She out of nowhere fell to the ground and started convulsing and shaking. the other teenage girl there just stepped over her and finished up my sandwich as the lady lay on the ground shaking. The two teenage girls that work there just laughed it off and said "Oh, she does this all the time." I peeked over the counter to see the lady foaming at her mouth. I then paid for my sandwich and left the place
Growing up I wanted the car , the gun and that cool knife the villain had . I must have watched this movie 20 time's as a kid .
This is probably the only 80's Stallone flicks that, for some reason, I have never gotten around to watching. I'd heard that it wasn't terribly good, but after hearing Chris I'm perfectly happy to finally cross this one off the list!
Personally I highly recommend it. As a big 80s action fan.
I always thought of the shirt rip guy wearing a wire as he was an informer or some sort of snitch.
3:20 OMG Sledge Hammer!. I almost forgot about that series. Was funny as hell.
Don't forget the music cue: "Angel of the City... Angel of the Ciiiiiiity"
You forgot to mention that Billy Rosewood has a Cobra film poster in his bedroom in BHC 2.
The only time ever, Brigitte Nielsen was drop-dead gorgeous as Wednesday had red long hair
Could you imagine if this one had a sequel!
these films will never be made again. The Woke gang wont allow it.
@@TheJVCMan shut up.
One of my favourite 80s classics such a shame there any sequels.
This came out on DVD when DVD players were just getting hot. So, I picked it up and I really liked it. I haven't watched it again, but now I really want to.
Wish we could eventually get the 3 hour cut of Cobra
Best narrator award.
Brian Thomson was a great villain in this.
Thomson*
@@GenMaster oops
I went to see at the pictures,I was 15+3 months, me and my mate Jeff trying to look older,it was a 18,we got in, love it, the bathroom scene is scary
The man cuts his pizza with scissors. They don't come any tougher than that.
as a huge fan asking for Over the Top review. thank you
I saw Cobra in the theaters in 1986 it was amazing
A fine effort, Cobra was like Dirty Harry vs. Jason Voorhees !!!
"This is where the law stops and I start......Sucker."
Love Cobra..
Great video love these flicks miss these old 80s action movies
I liked the nickname I heard for Cosmatos, called Comatose. Fun video!
I remember the poster in my childhood stuck on my neighbours balcony,with those shades & the toothpick in his mouth ,he looked so cool .....being a kid in the 80's India never knew who Stallone was but dat poster was etched in my memory till today ❤️
It was a match, not a toothpick.
Love the slide projector editing !
This was a horror flick. With STYLE. Music and all. Very underrated. LOVE this film.
Cobra Rules! I wish we could find that workprint! THE HOLY GRAIL FOR ME!!!!
It’s cool seeing a good review for this for a change
A lot of people don’t know this the 48 Mercury that was the cobra character’s car. Was stallone’s real personal vehicle. The crash scene where it’s destroyed. They used a mock-up.
Bridgette Nielsen was a goddess back in her prime. Cobra is pure 80s kult.
Could you imagine if Sylvester Stallone played The Punisher?!
I remember the VHS release because Commando came out around the same time and you had to wait weeks to get your hands on either from the video rental store.
Cobra was awesome. I loved that jatimatic.
I love JoBlo's videos, but damn I hate the sound of that bell on the final screen
Cobra does have it's certain charm and appeal.
Waiting for the remake with Sly and Robert Rodríguez. Cobra is of Sly's classic.
I love Cobra, one of the best Stallone films!
Great video, as usual! But why the wrong aspect ratio? COBRA was shot spherical (flat)--not in widescreen (scope)...
This movie lacked stallone's intensity. And also ... Some more fighting. The movie should also stayed in the city, by night...
I loved it as a child.
I want an TV-M Anime series of this movie with killer synthwave scores
