Prefer this over Fair Game and Beverly Hills Cop any day.


The film was loosely based on the novel Fair Game by Paula Gosling, which was later filmed under that title in 1995. However, Stallone's screenplay was originally conceived from ideas he had during pre-production of Beverly Hills Cop, whose screenplay he heavily revised. He had wanted to make Beverly Hills Cop a less comedic and more action-oriented film, which the studio rejected as being far too expensive. When he left that project, Eddie Murphy was brought in to play the lead role.[4]

Funny thing is that Cobra was far more popular among teenagers at the time, that's just my experience. This film is like a video game or a song you wish to play over and over again, it stays with you longer.

Yea its like a teenager/ video game bad ass movie. BHC is a funny comedy but I as a man I much prefer action and when it comes to that its very hard to top Cobra.
