This has to be one of the cheesiest and crassest action thrillers of the last thirty years. I rewatched it this afternoon, and the writing is even worse than I remembered. Andy Robinson's character challenges Stallone's Cobra to explain why he thinks the series of murders is by a team rather than a single person. Cobra just stands there silently, but why didn't he mention that he had been attacked twice by a squad of goons using guns and knives and axes? It's as if THOSE bodies he left behind him in defending himself didn't count at all. And the mole couldn't be more obvious yet Cobra doesn't alert anyone at the station to trail her movements, trace her calls, etc.

The year it was coming out, Premiere magazine (remember it?) predicted it would be the year's biggest box-office grosser. It didn't come anywhere near the top, of course, but I wonder if they had even screened it ahead of time or were simply making that prediction based on Stallone's track record with his Rocky and Rambo movies?

Another hard pass for me.

Probably. IIRC, there was a lot of hype behind it, and I don't recall much in 1986 that offered real competition on paper.

"Top Gun" ended up being the biggest hit, but that one wasn't hyped a lot in advance.

"Cobra" really is an awful movie. If it was a parody, it'd be hilarious, but I'm pretty sure they meant for us to take it seriously...

Don't think it could have been Premiere. Cobra came out in the summer of '86, but Premiere didn't publish its first issue until June '87.

The movie that taught me about Nitrous Oxide, and matchstick for a toothpick.

Hmmm. That's odd. I could have sworn that was the magazine that predicted its box-office triumph. I wonder which one it was that did because I clearly remember the caricature of Stallone atop the description of their first choice.

 

[Philip Verdieck]

I think this is worth a watch every 5+ years or so. Its a pass for me as well. As often as I watch it, I figure it will surface on Amazon or NetFlix.

Now a gem I really like from this period is Tango and Cash. Russel and Stallone? Sign me up for a UHD version. I don't care how cheesy it is in parts.

What mass-market movie-oriented magazines existed in 1986 beyond, say, "Variety"?

"Entertainment Weekly" didn't exist until 1990...

Starlog?

Starlog?

Sorry if I wasn't clear, but by "mass market" I meant magazines that covered movies in a general way, not genre oriented.

"Star Log" was sci-fi oriented, and "Cinefex" dealt with effects.

"Premiere" was much broader in focus...
