Cobra

Like Sylvester Stallone's Rocky and Rambo the hero of Cobra is another original: Lt. Marion Cobretti a one-man assault force whose laser-mount submachine gun and pearl-handled Colt .45 spit pure crime stopping venom. Director George P. Cosmatos rejoins Stallone for this thriller pitting Cobretti against a merciless serial killer. The trail leads to not one murderer but to an army of psychos bent on slashing their way to a "New Order" - and killing the inadvertent witness (Brigitte Nielsen) to their latest blood spree. Fortunately Cobra is her protector. And full-throttle screen excitement doesn't get any better. (Warner Bros. AU)
