Good man and i'll be buying this title once the price comes down. I may even give Cobra a go in HD too despite not being a massive fan of the film.:)

And this is from blu-ray.com....

I thought so and such news is good to know. Yours truly may just give the film a second chance once the BR hits the sales.:)

I may give it another spin soon. Did likewise with Demolition Man last week.

I own the French BD (identical with the UK version). Looks great, sounds great - highly recommendable!

It's not often you see a French release with the title on the spine going the "right" way!

That's right. Here's another example (and another great Blu-ray as well!):

After reading this thread I sat down to watch the film last night (rec. off TCM) and I knocked it on the head about halfway thru - I just could not get into it, the film lacked a certain something to put it in the league of say 10 To Midnight, which I was constantly comparing it to... I wonder how much money Cannon got off Pepsi for that ridicoulous sign outside Stallone's apartment ! :lol:

Stallone is NOT Bronson...keep that in mind, and you'll think of Cobra as a decent Action flick! :nod:

Greetings!

PS: Why did you compare it to 10 to Midnight in the first place? I've seen the Bronson flick as well (and it's a great movie!), but it would NEVER come to my mind while watching Cobra... :confused:

No, you're right, there's no real link between the two, but 10 to Midnight just came to mind for no reason I can explain. Maybe 'cos both films have a slasher movie element to them I guess...

avoided it like the proverbial plague at the time, due to it sparking a fashion trend! ahem. watched it a few tears back and thought it was one of the campest films id ever seen, homoeroticism just seeping into every frame.

does it still have that soft focus when he's in his apartment?

I last watched it on DVD - the badly transferred DVD and can't remember. Cobra - for me, is sh*t but good sh*t. It manages to make Bridget Nielsen look sexy then look as if she's been out drinking for a week:lol: They seem to spend more time on making Stallone look good. He has some terrible lines. What is up with that scene with the bobble head, at an outdoor market stall? Awful!
But I like the music and some of the action's not bad too. Anyone know what it was that was cut, saving me the trouble of googling it?

When Stallone pours the gasoline on a guy at the end, the BBFC removed the line "you have right right to remain silent" before he drops the match on the guy. It reallty was a stupid cut.

Was that it?:shocked: it was hardly worth it. I thought it was going to be a series of knife entry scenes, not one line.:lol:

Can't have an officer of the law saying something like that and then roasting someone alive. It's just not civilized :lol: Sometimes you have wonder what planet the BBFC live on.

I can just see Ferman, "It's fine he burns the baddie to a husk, but we really can't have this Stallone being witty, who does he think he is...James Bond, where's my scissors" the BBFC protecting the vulnerable from wise cracks.

How many of you Cobra geeks bought this cool collectors knife set with a themed wooden box? :rockon:

I have 2x of this knife set.
Still looks very cool after many years.
This knife set is NLA.

Last year a MKII knife set was reliesed without Cobra metal emblem ontop of the lid.
This was a lesser collectors set.
Luckily I have the 2x genuine sets.

That is so cool!
