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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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”
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"
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.
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.
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.
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.😅
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
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.
Also sang: Take you back from Rocky 1 Pushin Rocky 3 Other Sly films: Rambo 1st Blood part 2: Peace in our lifetime Over the top: Bad Night Expendables 2: you don't want to fight with me
@@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!
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
STONE COLD copied the start of this movie but IMO STONE COLD is a far superior movie. Lance Henriksen (bishop aliens) Brian Bosworth (L.A.Raiders) motorbike gang it's a forgotten gem 💎. You should react to it and I bet you it's your new favourite movie👍
You should watch ,escape to victory ,if you haven't seen it yet, it's a brilliant movie ,it's so so good, you wont be disappointed , also dances with wolves and the young guns 1 and 2 and the mad max movies oh and the lethal weapon movies and rocky & rambo movie And field of dreams also again if you haven't seen them Rick xxx.
If you check out Staying Alive, The Sequel to Saturday Night Fever. Frank Stallone has songs in it& has a part in the movie. It didn't hurt that it was directed by Sly either!! Still not a bad movie.
Just for sh!ts and giggles, you guys should react to "Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot". Definitely the worst Stallone movie, and pretty high up there all time. The only saving grace is Estelle Getty as Mom.
@@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!
🔔 YM&TM: 🔔 QUESTION: IF YOU GUYS SAW A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT A CERTAIN ALLEGED CULT, WHAT WOULD THE TITLE OF YOUR VIDEO REACTION BE? 🔔 ANSWER: YOU, ME, & THE MOONIES
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.
I remember buying a theater ticket to Prince's movie "Under the Cherry Moon" (PG13) to sneak into THIS R-rated movie as a 16 year old. 🤣. Also....is this movie like Die Hard considered a Christmas movie? 😂
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.
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.
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.
“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 ?!"
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).

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.
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.

Cobra is close to what Sylvester Stallone's Beverly Hills Cop screenplay was originally like before Paramount scrapped it.

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!
I saw this for the first time on AMC in 2016, I had no clue it existed before then.
Brian Thompson played a couple of villains on Buffy.
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
Police report = He was the disease and I was the cure. My name is Cobra aka Antibiotic. Lol 😆
In California we almost never wear leather gloves. Especially on a sunny day
That's not Frank, it's John Cafferty.
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
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.
That is Venice Beach. German in Venice showed the apartment that is in the movie
Rhinestone is a funny one. Underrated comedy.
26:12 John Wayne's real name was Marion Morrison, so…
Love the NWO Wolfpack shirt.
STONE COLD copied the start of this movie but IMO STONE COLD is a far superior movie. Lance Henriksen (bishop aliens) Brian Bosworth (L.A.Raiders) motorbike gang it's a forgotten gem 💎. You should react to it and I bet you it's your new favourite movie👍
You guys need to do "Kelly's Hero's " in remembrance of Donald Sutherland. It was one of his most memorable roles.
stabone doing a deathwish rip off correctly in order to make money back on making this junk. PRODUCT PLACEMENT. what a p.o.s.
John Spartan from Demolition Man would be my backup
You should watch ,escape to victory ,if you haven't seen it yet, it's a brilliant movie ,it's so so good, you wont be disappointed , also dances with wolves and the young guns 1 and 2 and the mad max movies oh and the lethal weapon movies and rocky & rambo movie
And field of dreams also again if you haven't seen them

Kyle Dunnigan’s fresh prez is hilarious 😆
If you check out Staying Alive, The Sequel to Saturday Night Fever. Frank Stallone has songs in it& has a part in the movie. It didn't hurt that it was directed by Sly either!! Still not a bad movie.
Just for sh!ts and giggles, you guys should react to "Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot". Definitely the worst Stallone movie, and pretty high up there all time. The only saving grace is Estelle Getty as Mom.
You should watch ,escape to victory ,if you haven't seen it yet, it's a brilliant movie ,it's so so good, you wont be disappointed cheers

Jack Nicholson use an axe for masonry in The Shining
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.
Quintessential 80s. It's near incomprehensible because of censorship, the original cut is like 120', the final version is 84'

That one lady was the mom of a serial killer operating out of a funeral home on NCIS. Ducky almost bought it that episode.

Haha. Let's do some "Yo's". Thank you for Kyle Dunnigan reference.
One of my favorite movies of all time
cobra is one of my favorite movies it ranks number 1 in my book its a cult classic im glad you guys enjoyed it enjoy your content you guys are awesome
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.
And seeing how Andrew Robinson was the villain in the first Dirty Harry movie, too predictable
You absolutely need to watch all of the Death Wish films with Charles Bronson ! ! !
This video is like a breath of fresh air. So refreshing!
I remember buying a theater ticket to Prince's movie "Under the Cherry Moon" (PG13) to sneak into THIS R-rated movie as a 16 year old. 🤣.
Also....is this movie like Die Hard considered a Christmas movie? 😂
I saw this film for the first time ever just a month ago and it was meh OK I suppose but nothing more, nothing less
And those crime statistics at the start of the movie were from 1986; imagine what they’re like now!!
Happy 40th.Welcome to the club.
okay, it worked, gave this a like for the conversation with your daughter 🙂
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.
23:40 I hate driving over those things in GTA.
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
"welcome to California"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 ain't that the truth?
Not sure if you've seen it, but Cop Land is a Stallone film you that I'm sure you'll enjoy and it tends to rank highly amongst Stallone films.
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.
