Stallone’s Cobra Sinks Fangs Into Blu-ray on January 22

Disc Announcements, News

There is no great opening reel of an ’80s action film than Cobra. Every frame of the grocery store shoot out with Stallone is golden. Sylvester Stallone is perfect as he shows up and takes on the hoodlums with an attitude that can’t be topped. The lines are so quotable. This is action done right. The rest of the film is good, but it’s hard to top the brilliance of the opening. And now you can enjoy the diamond of destruction in Blu-ray when Scream Factory releases Cobra: Collector’s Edition on January 22. Here’s the press release from Scream Factory with the new bonus features:
