One thing you did miss is the song from Karate Kid "You're the Best." was supposed to be used in this movie. Also, interesting facts about the deleted scenes, sometime Cobra shown on TV would have deleted scenes such as the Night Slasher working a job at a slaughterhouse it seems. And him practicing with his knife as another scene showed.
I love this movie. It's fast-paced, fun as hell, funny, creepy at times, it has an awesome soundtrack, and I love the lead character. Cobretti is quirky and cool. The 80's was the best decade for action films, and Cobra is one of the best of the bunch. Thank you for this video, Minty. Would you be willing to do a video on Over the Top or, even better yet, Tango & Cash?
He was my RA at college nice guy, very helpful. I had to watch this movie twice to be sure it was him. I was positive he would wind up a break out star with his distinctive looks. Oh well, Hollywood get it wrong...a lot
@@robbates3309 yeah I never understood why he didn't become a mega star. Night Slasher was the scariest action villain of the 80s imo. He had a small part in an older forgotten cult classic Miracle Mile, um, um definitely threw me off guard after seeing him in Cobra.
Rob Bates his face was too big and boxy and his body and acting was stiff too. remember in cobra Stallone looks at his render and says, ‘that’s a good looking guy’ . I thought so too in terminator. very rough and aggressive looking. but I guess he gained weight. he had a bit role as a sidekick in jcvd movie lionheart aka awol . couldn’t see his neck and acting was very ordinary too.
So cool that you made a video about Cobra. I was thinking about this movie the other day, as I was watching Hobbs and Shaw, and noticed a poster for Cobra in the background.
Well researched, love the 80s soundtrack. The blacked out sunglasses in the ultra dimly lit rooms is gonna get you killed dude 😂 Never saw the movie but I remember seeing the car on the rented VHS at the time and said I'd catch it later that evening, 35 years later I still havent seem it 😂 This was at the height of the Schwarznegger / Stallone ballet, released around the time of Arnie's "Raw Deal" maybe?
CANNON 😃 woot!!! I love their movies...endless childhood & youth memories...also Sylvester Levay is a great composer...his tunes are stuck in my head 😘 good one, Minty 💞
The Sinclair Spectrum version of the game was actually one of the best games of the time, highly polished. Like a very playable both-ways-scrolling Green Beret. Took a few liberties with the Cobra license, but referenced Rocky and Rambo too. Well worth hunting down if you enjoyed that c64 version.
I was thinking the same thing. I actually like this crappy movie and (unlike more "serious" fare from the same era) it holds up as good as ever in 2020.
My dad took me to see this.We both went in thinking it was just another goofy action flick of the time. Minty's right, it's more of a slasher film. I didn't have nightmares but 'till then, Temple of Doom was the scariest thing I'd ever seen. Y'know, before the internet, you really didn't know much about a movie until it came out.
"I'll blow this place up!" "Go ahead, I don't shop here" Did anyone notice in the hospital scene when the night slasher is walking towards the bed and it shows the pair of shoes underneath, the shoes say rocky
the director of this movie also directed tombstone in 93 but there is some controversy behind that, since most of the people on the set of tombstone said kurt russell directed most of the film himself

Hi Minty: Thank you for all of these great videos, they are a lot of fun to watch! Can you do videos about a couple of James Belushi action movies? I'd love to know more about Red Heat with Schwarzenegger and another Belushi movie called The Principal. The Principal is super hard to find on dvd and i'm so happy that I have The Principal in my dvd collection.
Yup! "Angel Of The City" is classic and "Feel The Heat" I play the Instrumental all the time. I'd give anything to have that again they can keep all this technology. 80's had cooler technology too honestly , with better quality.
Alan M Jolly Big facts. A totally different time! When masculinity was celebrated. And when females seemed to be more feminine. We didn’t have too many of these SJW, and many of these feminist nut jobs around like we have today.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Good job Minty. Been waiting a year or two for this one. Glad u brought up the horror movie aspect and Halloween. This was the first movie i saw in the theater. I was a 5 year old. The Night Slasher scared me and i covered up my eyes. My much older cousin leaned over to me and said "dont worry. Stallone is gonna kick his ass." I was comfortable the rest of the way and its one of my favorite movies of all time.
PatientMental huh? Is this a sarcastic joke or is there really a raunchy version of cobra? I remember going to the theater to watch this and it was such a bas-ass movie at the time..... but then again, when your a kid it seems everything is cool in the big screen, lol.
I love Cobra, but I think it would've been better if it had maintained that horror movie feeling from the first half. The hospital scene reminds me so much of Halloween II.
I love this movie. It’s my favorite Stallone movie. I really wish one day we could see the original uncut version but it’s becoming more unlikely by the year
The axe clinking noise is memorable - and when they show the headquarters where they are doing that, it's interesting to see who is part of the new world gang..including business people..etc
@@NemeanLion- George Cosmatos reportedly directed the film under Stallone's instruction. He'd previously done this for him on Rambo: First Blood Part Two. Stallone recommended him to Kurt Russell to perform the same function on Tombstone.
David James I know about Tombstone. We don’t know how much Cosmatos was involved in Cobra. Besides, asking for a directors cut of this film is like asking for a directors cut of Red Sonja.
Legend has it there's a deleted scene featuring Brigitte Nielsen, an emu, a jar of peanut butter, and an unreleased love song from Public Enemy playing in the background.

I miss the old one man army types of movies like this, where the hero always knows better than those pencil pushing desk riding bureaucrats. This was Dirty Harry turned into a live action cartoon. We need Vin Diesel or Jason Statham to do a movie like this today.
Really enjoying your videos Minty,some facts I knew,Some suprised me...Keep up the Great Job!! Did you get those oversized great looking Sunglasses from Cobra himself? :)
Nice one, Minty. Genuinely sorry you have to keep re-uploading some of these. You'd think the holders of the rights to these films would be thrilled at a popular RUclipsr giving the films free publicity. Some people can be so petty.
Minty ! You didn't mention the Dirty Harry Connection ! Andrew Robinson who played Detective Monte played Scorpio in Dirty Harry and Reni Santoni who played Cobras' partner Gonzales played Chico, Dirty Harrys' partner. Stallone chose those two actors SPECIFICALLY because they were in Dirty Harry.
Minty I just want you to know you are my favorite top 10 movie RUclips personality I hope you never stop and I just got introduced to a new movie that you would enjoy doing a video to. It's called Night Breed it's a weird B rated mythology slash Hell Raiser esque ride I think the story is interesting but could probably use a modern revamp. There is several cuts of the movie regardless if you do watch it I would enjoy a basic review of the film. In fact I would enjoy review from you in general not just top 10 facts
Mr. Minty, Love your 10 things you didn't know of movies reviews, I hope you can do one on, Over the Top since you kinda mentioned it on this one. I would love to see what top 10 things you can find about this movie. Thanks, like always, great job cant wait until the next one :)
I love the music video scene in the movie angel of the city that was awesome. one of Stallone's best movies. NIGHTHAWKS is my favorite Stallone movie. the hospital scene makes me think of Halloween 2.
I would be interested in the original director's cut that was mentioned. Considering today is another anniversary I don't know if that would happen. Hell I would have liked a sequel to this one. I wouldn't mind it be revisited decades later. I wonder what the Detective has been up too.
I think the best scene is his confrontation with the I think reporter. "He has rights". Cobra grabs him toward childs covered body. "YOU TELL THAT TO HER FAMILY!"
Stallone has a big ego. Only taking on projects when he was guaranteed creative control, which meant that he was allowed to make rewrites to the script and consequently adding his name as screenwriter on the movie. This explains why he turned or was turned down from some classic movies such Beverly Hills Cop and Romancing the Stone. It also explains why many big directors like Scorsese, Speilberg, Coppolla steered clear of wanting to work with him. The times when he would only take part in a project and allow the creative minds behind it do their thing is where he delivered excellent performances: for example, Cop Land and Creed.
This movie is 80s perfection... Locations, cars, actors and music - absolutely stunning... While Brian Thompson was killes by the terminator 2 years before, in this movie he looks LIKE a terminator...
Yo - I just commented on your Friday the 13th 3D video and said, "Stallone wants his Cobra glasses back"....then I found THIS video! Fucking AWESOME. Shoutout to you my dude!

a lot of people doing vlogs need to take a hint from all the choskies you have in the background ou bleed the 80's fun movies
I was hoping you'd talk about the car he had in the movie. One of my favorite cars in movies.
Back in the 80's I had this classic poster on my bedroom wall. Great movie.... it may have died at the box office but I loved it myself.
Actually COBRA was one of the few films put out by the Cannon Film Group that did well in theaters.🐍
I have an original movie poster from this movie. My friend worked in a theater and saved it for me. It's framed, and next to my scarface movie poster.
One thing you did miss is the song from Karate Kid "You're the Best." was supposed to be used in this movie. Also, interesting facts about the deleted scenes, sometime Cobra shown on TV would have deleted scenes such as the Night Slasher working a job at a slaughterhouse it seems.

Brigitte Nielsen was also in Beverly Hills Cop II.
That 1950 Mercury was epic. When I was a kid we would memorize lines from this movie, toothpick and all!

Thompson was the star of that movie. He was terrifying.
So was the Knife

This was one of my favorite movies as a kid. I can’t believe my parents let me watch it. The 80s were a simpler time lol.
who else loved that car? cool movie knife too. the bad guy always creeped me out, this film has much more of a horror vibe, always liked this one.
So cool that you made a video about Cobra. I was thinking about this movie the other day, as I was watching Hobbs and Shaw, and noticed a poster for Cobra in the background.
This IS what you get when you mix a slasher movie with 80s action! And as a slasher fan, I LOVE COBRA!

Man, if we only had the 2-1/2 hour gorefest that the original cut had.
Love this movie, always have and always will. Shout out to my folks who had it on VHS
Here's a quick one for you Minty. Stallone is interested in reviving Cobra. In both television and another movie
Now _there's_ something we really need: a smash-em-up Tough Guy movie starring a guy in his mid-'70s!
dave jackson ..its 30yrs late for a cobra idea...he should have done sequels in his prime
With the way movies are now, instead of blowing away the baddies he will have to talk to them about their feeliings for 20 minutes..no thanks.
Would be cool to see the uncut movie. I think they were originally gunning for a serious crime thriller
Yes I agree with you 100%.
Same here.
That would be a great find
Also agree it would be rad to have a full cut Blu-ray quality with outtakes and all.
I was thinking the same thing. I actually like this crappy movie and (unlike more "serious" fare from the same era) it holds up as good as ever in 2020.
Stay safe Minty! Between this, Escape form LA, and GI Joe, the 80s was a glorious time for snakes.
When this came out, I really loved Stallone's sunglasses. Never seen a pair quite like them

It also explains why many big directors like Scorsese, Speilberg, Coppolla steered clear of wanting to work with him. The times when he would only take part in a project and allow the creative minds behind it do their thing is where he delivered excellent performances: for example, Cop Land and Creed.
Whenever I do an 80's action flick marathon, this movie is always right smack dab in there somewhere!!
I remember this movie being kind of dark. Cobra was released the 9 months after the Night Stalker serial killer was captured in California.
So Cobra is based on the night stalker
I am huge Stallone fan. Cobra 🐍 is a classic gritty cop film
I wish there was a sequel..
Any chance you can do Beverly Hills Cop II, Minty?
This movie is 80s perfection... Locations, cars, actors and music - absolutely stunning... While Brian Thompson was killes by the terminator 2 years before, in this movie he looks LIKE a terminator...
But none of Cobras adversaries cries oh lala when bein taken down
Cobra LaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLa!
Yo Joe!!!
Perhaps Marion should have promised to kill them last!
If this is Gi Joe reference I'm crying laughing 😂 cause what else could it be!

I drooled over his car such a shame it had to get totalled
Mercury
No it was still fixable . 🤷♀️
The real one wasn't destroyed. It actually belonged to Stallone.
Remender seeing the old mercury hanging in the ceiling of a planet Hollywood restaurant in Miami.
I used to have the hot wheel but it was purple this movie was the reason why I had that car
Yo - I just commented on your Friday the 13th 3D video and said, "Stallone wants his Cobra glasses back"....then I found THIS video! Fucking AWESOME. Shoutout to you my dude!
