115. Cobra
So cheesy, so 80s, so bad, so Stallone. Peak Sly growls his way through this dark thriller as the titular cop whilst bagging the sweatiest bad guy in all moviedom and bedding Brigitte into the bargain. 6
Is this the one where he cuts pizza with scissors? I liked it if so. -
It is indeed. The one referenced in Deadly Premonition 2!Not everything is The Best or Shit. Theres many levels between that, lets just enjoy stuff.

Cobra was only good because he had that cool gun with the laser sight. -

Aye I quite like the dark tone they've aimed for but then Sly comes along and drops a corny line that undoes it. The Night Slasher guy is wonderfully intense, played by that guy Brian Thompson.
Just reading the wiki on it, sounds like it was cut to shreds as it was originally quite graphic so it was toned down. I'd like to see the full unedited version.

Sounds like it had a bit of a bumpy production due to Sly's ego/screenplay.GT: WEBBIN5 - A life in formats: Sinclair ZX81>Amstrad CPC 6128>Amiga 500>Sega Megadrive>PC>PlayStation 2>Xbox>DS Lite>Xbox 360>Xbox One>Xbox One X>Xbox Series X>Oculus Quest 2

Yeah, I dwelled on that detail. Has a solitary slice in the box which he retrieves from the fridge along with an egg box based gun cleaning kit (obvs). Cuts a smaller triangle with the scissors, meme worthy.GT: WEBBIN5 - A life in formats: Sinclair ZX81>Amstrad CPC 6128>Amiga 500>Sega Megadrive>PC>PlayStation 2>Xbox>DS Lite>Xbox 360>Xbox One>Xbox One X>Xbox Series X>Oculus Quest 2 -

I think the laser sight made it to be honest. Nine year old me thought it was a cool SMG at the time, now it looks a bit shit and makes a racket.GT: WEBBIN5 - A life in formats: Sinclair ZX81>Amstrad CPC 6128>Amiga 500>Sega Megadrive>PC>PlayStation 2>Xbox>DS Lite>Xbox 360>Xbox One>Xbox One X>Xbox Series X>Oculus Quest 2 -
Also:
Avengement - Scott Adkins goes to prison then has to become the hardest man alive so he can get out and batter Craig Fairbrass in an East End boozer. Loved it. Who fhackin' wants some?!!! 5/5 -
Just watched that pizza scene in Cobra. Stallone sits alone in his apartment and watches tv, eating pizza (with scissors), with the sunglass and leather gloves on. The shite we thought was cool in the 80s...

Doesn't take away from the glory. Six feels right. It's bad and we are enjoying it because it's bad, but it's bad. If I were to give The Room an actual score it would be 6. -
I'm convinced he was on a cut and trying to drop some calories with that scene.GT: WEBBIN5 - A life in formats: Sinclair ZX81>Amstrad CPC 6128>Amiga 500>Sega Megadrive>PC>PlayStation 2>Xbox>DS Lite>Xbox 360>Xbox One>Xbox One X>Xbox Series X>Oculus Quest 2

Apparently none of the cast or crew were allowed to speak to him during filming.

Just started Cobra. It is SO SO 80’s.
He shows up in a car with reg plate: AWSOM 50
The product placement is Wayne’s World levels of good.
The dialogue is amazing
In the store:
Bad guy: “I got a bomb here. I’ll blow this whole place up”
The Cobra: “Go ahead... I don’t shop here”
This is going to be so badgood -
It’s just turned into Wild Hogs!!
-
gawd damn, I need me some feedback"I spent years thinking Yorke was legit Downs-ish disabled and could only achieve lucidity through song" - Mr B
-
Cobra
What an strange film. It’s definitely no Commando, everything is cheaper feeling. The core idea of the bad guy isn’t a bad one, just an oddly paced film with an even odder ending.
4/10 -
oops, nothing to see here"I spent years thinking Yorke was legit Downs-ish disabled and could only achieve lucidity through song" - Mr B

I haven't seen Cobra so I can't work out of Cocko is doing Cobra quotes or accidentally posting in the wrong thread.
Howdy, Stranger!
