Cobra

Contributor Mub takes us back to 1986...

Lets talk the year 1986 people, I grew up believing there were robots that were developing human brains making them more like people

Short Circuit

...that I could get away with never going to school ("Ferris Bueller"),


Ferris Bueller's Day Off

...that I could wish someone away to the land of eternal stench, but would have to face the consequence of fighting off David Bowie and his massive leotard unit, 
Labyrinth

...or that I could easily fly an F-14 tomcat upside-down parallel with another jet while simultaneously flipping the bird at them.
Top Gun

 Ya '86 movies were awesome. If you don't believe me, google that shiz.   



Now, I am a man, I enjoy farting, throwing hatchets, urinating outside, eating raw meat, and day dreaming about how I would defuse a situation using my surroundings and ninja tactics. That being said I would like to introduce one of the most underrated manly movies ever. "COBRA", this is the best work that Sylvester Stallone has done. 


He plays Marion Cobretti, a member of the "Zombie Squad" which is the most hardcore "street" police unit there is. Knowing his given name sounds a bit girly, he goes by Cobra to establish dominance and fear to his enemies. He wears oversized aviator sunglasses at all times because the sun never sets on "cool", he always has a match in his mouth in case he needs to light something or someone on fire, and always knows the best things to say to a bad guy like "Your the disease, and I'm the cure".  So there is your badass main charactor. 



Now the story circles around Cobra protecting a hottie who witnessed a murder committed by an ax clinging night slasher gang who will stop at nothing to kill her. Also included are car chases, a bikini photo shoot with robots (awesome), gun fights, and one of the best good guy/bad guy showdowns shot with a camera. I almost pooed myself when seeing IMDB had this movie as a 5.5 star out of 10. I give it a 9.5 but with the bikini dancing around robot scene I give it a 12.3. 

The seven layers of Kevin Bacon for this movie is 1-Sylvester Stalone was in "The Expendables" with Dolph Lundgrin who was in 2- "Masters Of The Universe" with Courtney Cox who was in 3- Scream 3 with Neve Campbell who was in 4- "Wild Things" with KEVIN BACON!! Also, best food and beverage to have while enjoying "Cobra", funnions and apple beer.

Do you agree that Cobra is the best movie of 1986? Share you favorite movie from 1986 in the comments.
