Explosive action from the director of "Rambo: First Blood Part II." MPAA Rating: NOTRATED © 1986 Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. All Rights Reserved

This film delivers high absurdity with total earnestness. There is not a single moment in the script that suggests that Stallone (who wrote the script from a novel by Paula Gosling) is remotely aware how ridiculous the whole thing is; no sly aside, no wink at the camera, no lampshade in sight. There's a secret cult at work in LA. Their hobbies include gathering in derelict factories to bang axes together, preaching about the "new world", and random acts of murder. One such act is witnessed by a model named Ingrid. The cult tracks her down; an easy enough task given that one of their number is in the LAPD; but their attempt to add her to their list of victims goes awry. They're really going to regret missing on that first attempt, because now Ingrid has come to the attention of police detective Marion "Cobra" Cobretti. And well, you just have to look at the image above to see how things are likely to progress now. Cobra is wonderfully terrible.

If you love good action movies with lots of violence you will love this movie, also has one of the coolest car chase scenes ever, nice work sly.

Stallone is a cop called Cobra trying to take down a cult of killers called the nightslashers great action car chases and gunfights galore
