  Ooh! Amazon currently has the Sylvester Stallone over-the-top "Crime is a disease. Meet the cure" 80s cop classic COBRA (1986) in Special Edition Blu-ray form, on sale for 35% for the next short while! A fave from the old days, saw this on film at The Mahoning Drive-In a few years ago and it still delivers. Fun fact: Stallone was originally in talks to play Axel Foley in BEVERLY HILLS COP, but wanted to rewrite the script to his own tastes. What resulted was something that caused him to part ways with COP and use ideas from his script to form COBRA. https://amzn.to/48xc9mK (As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.)
