I always hoped for one. But I don't have much faith in Stallone any more. If he tried to do it, he'd just mess it up. Had he forged a Cobra series back during the 80's and early 90's, I'd have been there for every one.

You can drop Cobra into any city in America and there's always going to be somebody in need of his brand of justice. In fact, you could probably put him in Chicago and build an entire FRANCHISE around that...
i mean.. that was just for legal reasons Technically he gave him 1 SPLIT SECOND to do the right thing when he CLEARLY refused, Cobra unloaded AN ENTIRE CLIP into his chest Ya know... Because it was NECESSARY :P
You gotta love how 50 cops and a swat team all stand by for the one guy who goes in with a handgun tucked in his waistband to save the day. LOLOLG Gotta love cheesy movies

"Go ahead. I don't shop here..."

My favorite line!
Perfect line. The Eastwood thing with 'go ahead, make my day' was just a year or two prior to this. This made a nice, comedic change of pace.

Definitely! I agree!
Such an iconic 80's flick-down to Stallone's huge sunglasses and matchstick! Sly's answer to Arnie's Commando a year earlier!
Yeah - but - still amazed Stallone turned down Beverly Hills Cop to make this version. Considering that BHC made about $100 million more.

“You’re a disease, and I’m the cure”
I love this line
Nah the "drop it" between gunshots was better
Coors paid for the product placement I bet.
Stallone opens a can, takes a sip, here's $$$$
Bud Light could use some of that these days.
Pretty much everything in a movie is negotiated, even in the '80's.
But, I guess some spots are a a lot more prominent than others, lol.
lots of product placement. What a huge supermarket!
@@russs3001 True, but it is also true that stores were often stacked to the rafters with product, unlike the barebones stores you often see now.

Especially in the 80s and 90s.

Movie logic.
Coz Stallone vetoed the writers guild assn, took over the Beverly hills script and the director cosmatose was in a comatose state. No kidding esse!!!
Well, clearly, the dude with the match is just WAY COOLER than all those SWAT guys..
Because he’s Stallone although Chuck Norris wasn’t available
