Amazon.com: In the opening scene of this thoroughly mindless action flick, a psycho holds a group of terrified hostages in a grocery store, and yells to renegade cop Marion Cobretti (Sylvester Stallone) that he's going to blow the place to kingdom come. "Go ahead," says the cop nicknamed "Cobra," presumably because he's tightly coiled and strikes with deadly force. "I don't shop here." And so it goes with this brutal and for the most part disgusting Stallone showcase, in which Sly's then wife, Brigitte Nielsen, provides bad acting and ample cleavage as a fashion model (what else?) who's the only witness against a crazed cult of serial killers. Cobra likes to kill first and leave the questions to his disgruntled superiors, who call on the maverick lawman when all other options have failed. This movie does have a modest following, and for what it's worth, a few of the action sequences are disjointedly exciting. --Jeff Shannon

Rating: - King Cobra
A friend of mine once stated that Cobra was "one of the greatest works of art ever committed to celluloid". He's dead now, so I feel okay saying that his comment was patently absurd. Cobra is, in fact, the greatest achievement in human history. More to the point, watching Cobra is like peering into the mind of God.
Following all the movie's plot twists and turns is certainly a test of mental acuity, but under the delicate helmsmanship of director George Cosmatos, even a dullard can ... Read More
Rating: - It's interesting!!!
This movie was interesting and exciting. This movie was famous. Also this movie never stop hard action part. This movie character was very good action star and he was great. everyone knows that. I enjoyed it.
Rating: - Highly Amusing
Cobra is a beast of a man. Highlights including the Cobra wrecking his car and the infamous hospital attack.
Rating: - The logical endpoint of the "Dirty Harry" genre
"Dirty Harry" started the genre of "the maverick cop willing to break a few rules and trample a few constitutional rights to get the job done" genre, and "Cobra" is the genre's logical endpoint. It's fitting that two of the principal actors in Dirty Harry also appear in Cobra (Andy Robinson and Reni Santoni). I believe that was no accident of casting.
Cobra is reductivist in its storyline, with every character, every scene boiled down to the essentials. The troubled, violent cop. ... Read More
Rating: - Tough guy action in an old car
Stallone lit up the screen with his then wife in this film over 20 years ago and yet today it still seems like a classic one to me, along the lines of Charles Bronson's "Mechanic" or Steve McQueen's "Bullitt", Cobra features a ruthless cop versus a ruthless ring of serial killing assasins who terrorize the streets. Soon they go after a lady who Sly's character has to protect and that is when Sly is soon on the run with her. Great chase scenes and shooting action flourish in this classic 1986 action ... Read More
