Crime is a disease. Meet the cure!
"Every time I revisit COBRA it never fails at being a fucking tastlessly, tasty treat... and it scrumptiously slaps hard." Ian West, Letterboxd (2018)
"Ein bluttriefendes Action-Spektakel, das seine gewaltverherrlichende Botschaft teilweise mit faschistoider Mentalität verbreitet." Lexikon des internationalen Films
"Set in Los Angeles on the eve of Christmas, COBRA squares off against a deadly cult with a penchant for coordinated axe play, led by the menacing 'Night Slasher'. Aiming to protect witness Ingrid Knutsen (Brigitte Nielsen), Cobra ignores his superior's warnings and the tsk-tsk of the know-nothing media and gets dirty like he knows he's gotta be. As you watch the film, courtesy of Cannon Films who specialized in excess and maximum violence throughout the '80s, dwell on the fact that COBRA was notoriously born of Stallone's retooled script for "Beverly Hills Cop" (and we're all the better for it!)." Alamo Drafthouse Cinema
"Ahh yes, the film that sparked the incredible, notorious controversy... Do you cut your pizza with scissors?" Ziglet_mir, Letterboxd (2022)
