Happy April Fool’s Day!

Stallone plays ruthless LAPD supercop Lt. Marion “Cobra” Cobretti who is assigned to protect a beautiful witness (Nielsen) when she becomes the target of a violent cult. Due to various reasons, including Stallone’s staggering ego, COBRA was cut down to a lean 89 minutes—excising pretty much everything except for the action scenes and Stallone looking rad in sunglasses. See the film that Gene Siskel called “Filthy Harry!” Brattle Debut!

Double feature with THE NAKED GUN
