Trivialidades:

The submachine gun used by Marion Cobretti in the final showdown with biker gang is a Jati-Matic. The Jati-Matic first appeared in the early 1980s, but was never adopted by any country for use. It re-appeared in Finland in the mid-1990s as the GG-95 Personal Defense Weapon made by the Golden Gun Company. The gun is chambered in 9x19 parabellum, has a cyclic rate of 600 rounds/min, and has various accessories that were offered such as a silencer, various capacity magazines, and a laser pointing device.

Goofs:

Continuity: When the first guy is in the grocery store, he racks his gun and points at a man and tells him to get up and leave. As he walks away the shotgun guy racks again. In a pump action shotgun you rack one shell and your ready, rack again and the first shell flies out of the chamber.

Quotes:

Marion Cobretti: You know that's bad for your health?
Punk smoking cigarette: What?
[looking threatening]
Marion Cobretti: [grabs cigarette away from punk's mouth] Me.
[pause]
Marion Cobretti: You need a new image.
[Cobra looks at punk's shirt, pulls it till it rips and then walks away with a smirk on his face]

MY FAVORITE STALLONE MOVIE!

This is not your average police movie. "Cobra" packs a lot of action and suspense in this thriller. Stallone and Nielsen were a hot item at the time. I've enjoyed the supermarket scene when he confronted the crazed killer and told him what he really was: "You're the disease, and I'm the cure!" Having a 1950 Ford coupe as a police car was awesome. I liked it when he went through the guard rail fence and went after the the bad guys. I also liked when Cobretti(Stallone) threw his car into reverse and shot the pick-up truck to pieces.

Brian Thompson was great playing the killer with the knife. I like the scene when he was sharpening the knife and his accomplice in crime told him the location of the victim, and told him to go get her. But he declined the offer and told her,"She's mine!" Talk about going it out solo.

The arsenal and the action in this movie was great, and I like the parts when he set several of the gang ON FIRE! Especially the one who got dosed and blinded by the gasoline, and Cobretti struck the match from his gun and went to you know where.

This movie may not have it's best reviews by some, but I want to give full credit for everything Sly has put into this movie. I've enjoyed it from beginning to the end, I don't have anything bad to say about it.
