Cobra (1986)

Cobra is a 1986 action film starring Sylvester Stallone as Lieutenant Marion "Cobra" Cobretti, a Los Angeles police detective who is assigned to protect a witness from a cult gang of murderers on the streets of Los Angeles. The film was directed by George Pan Cosmatos, who was just coming off directing Stallone in the blockbuster sequel Rambo: First Blood Part II. While opening at number one at the box office, the film ultimately proved to be a critical and financial disappointment. Sylvester Stallone adapted the screenplay from the Paula Gosling novel Fair Game (which was adapted again into a 1995 action film starring William Baldwin and Cindy Crawford).
