Things I learned from watching Cobra


Whoever started the things I learned threads is a genius! This movie is a perfect fit.

1. I can walk around a hospital wearing combat boots, a greasy face, and giant bowie knife with studded hand guard and nobody will notice me.

2. I can drive a old car off the third floor of a parking garage through the metal guard rails and not only will it be able to continue running but it will be able to participate in a high speed chase.

1. Reckless driving and firing a sub-machine gun with one hand only at the same time on a crowded highway is perfectly acceptable behaviour from an LAPD police officer when chasing a suspect, especially when the only living eye-witness to a brutal murder is riding with said police officer.

2. That hand grenades are an essential part of an LAPD officer's arsenal, and that it's perfectly acceptable to use said grenades in residential areas.

3. That Cobra has an attitude problem, but just a little one.

4. That if we play by these bull**it rules and the killer doesn't, we're gonna lose.

1. A window is the the best place to take notes on while using the computer.

2. Do a burnout when picking up a chick from the hospital to impress her.

3. Impress her more by starting a chase with armed gunmen trying to kill her instead of running away.

4. Drive around with the same lousy backup who messed up the last time.

5. When looking to kill a witness in a hospital, go room by room and kill all the patients first.

6. A nurse does her rounds with a torch, pulling back sheets noisily and bugging the hell out of sleeping patients.

1. It is perfectly acceptable to have a toxic, pollution spewing metal refinery built right beside a fruit orchard.

2. Watching pop and beer can displays get blown to pieces does not inspire me to buy a Pepsi or a Coors

3. Do not continue riding my motorcycle towards a pick-up truck with a fellow shooting at me with a machine gun. Yes, all of my axe-clanking buddies are getting blown away, but I'm still continuing my pursuit!!

reply

1. cult members are allowed to park in supermarket handicap spaces whenever they want.

2. cobretti doesn't shop at said supermarket.

3. do not immediately open fire on a lunatic with a rifle and bomb detonator. first, throw a knife into him for good measure.

4. cobretti "just wants to get involved."

reply

1- Pulling the fire alarm will scare the knife welding crazy away

2-Blood can be easily washed off doors

3- This is a Galdarn Game,

4- Everyone thinks i should say on the Zombie Squad

5- Every cop is wrong but Cobra

reply

That shooting a tanker truck from long range with a shotgun will cause it to explode.

1.) Matches are good substitues for toothpicks.

5. When looking to kill a witness in a hospital, go room by room and kill all the patients first.

I learned your the disease, I'm the cure

i learned that u can get extremely horny when sharpening a hunting knife lol

1. When begging for your life from an armed psycho cop, it's best to tell him that the judge will let you free if he doesn't shoot you.

2. Alice is a much more tough name than Marion Cobretti

3. After you kill about 50 people you can just ride off on a motorcycle with the only witness to everything and no one will give you trouble.

4. Punching someone in the face doesn't mean you have hard feelings.

5. The best way to survive is to keep nagging at a crazy armed maniac that he's not supposed to take the elevator.

--I learned Stallone shoulda stayed far far away from Golan/Globus after making this and Over The Top.

1: Once robots are finished with the photo shoot and its lights-out time.....they come alive.

1. In America, theres a burglery every 11 seconds, an armed robbery every 65 seconds, a violent crime every 25 seconds, a murder every 24 minutes, and 250 rapes a day.

2. Cobra is bad for Mexican people`s health. Not joints

3. This is where Judge Dredd stops and Cobra starts.

4. "The Nightslasher is known to crawl through windows, cut telephone wires and KILL their victims in their sleep". If you load your gun while watching that news-broadcast, make sure to click the gun at the same time when the reporter says the word "kill" to make it look more badass.

5. Cobra has no problem wielding a coroner-saw in a macho way while there`s mutilated corpses of women in the same room.

6. Cobra knows more about health food than the Norwegian diet-expert Fedon Lindberg. Sugar can make you violent. Try fish and rice. Very good.

7. Feel The Heat.

8. For a strange reason, Mexican people wears microphones under their shirts taped to their chest. Rip their shirts open and see for yourself.

9. Mexican people are good citizens.

10. The New World-gang has the crappiest piece/logo ever.

1:That you can crash your car thru the side of wooden ship,making a complete turn in the air,and surive.

2:That you can fire nitros into the engine of your hotrod,and still only be able too barely catch up on the bad guys run of the mill 80`s four door sedan.

3:that having(3)actors from Dirty harry movies appear in it,will give it a more "Dirty harry feel".

4.That on a cops wages you can aford a 49 merc hotrod,designer leather jacket, venice beach front apartment,"stylish"furniture,custom pearl grips on your gun,submachinegun complete with laser sights,and hand tooled cowboy boots.

5:that the best place too hide a prime witnes,is in a near deserted town miles away from any sort of backup.

reply

most of what I "learnd" from Cobra was said so I only got a few things

#1 If you push your chiefs face in the face of a body and pulls the worst movie line ever you wont get suspended

#2 If a cop saves a supermodell they fall in love

No, worse! Human! Human!

reply

a sawed-off shotgun can accuratly shoot a victim who is sprinting away and manage to throw him 2 feet in the air into a shelf of groceries.

A badass detective that IS his own special unit, can WALTZ into a hostage situation with a loaded .45 tucked in his jeans and take a casual slurp of beer while 10 or so people are being threatened by an anti-food crazed maniac with a super sawed-off shotgun that can lift grocery carts into the air and kill someone at the end of a food isle.

love this movie...

reply

Dont mess with any guy called Marion

reply

someone started another thread for no apparent reason and said the same things that this thread already covered... so

BUMP!

I learned that a wheelchair-bound man abandoned in the frozen foods section of a supermarket is an awfully depressing site.

I learned that I've been working too hard, tryin' to make a livin. and i gotta get away.

I learned sugar makes you violent.

I learned it's that Toys R Us time of year.

I learned that shopping carts defy the laws of physics.

I learned that Pepsi spends just a little bit more on product placement than Coke.

I learned screaming in slow motion sounds pretty cool.

I learned AWSOM-50 makes a great password.

I learned the best way to deal with an inconsiderate neighbor is to rip his shirt off from the front.

I learned people with bad skin and a whole lot of saliva make terrific bad guys.

reply

bump

reply

I learned that...

When I am a female victim and I am being relocated I will ALWAYS get to be with the sexy male leading-role character.
Make sure you are in the car with him and definitely be in the same room with him at night and leave the crazy woman cop with the cute guy's partner.

Real life police procedures are never accounted for when there is a hot cop in a movie

Bad guys like to wipe out in the best looking way possible

IF you use a ton of ketchup Cobretti will fall in love with you and offer you a giant plastic cheeseburger

reply

Yeah this movie also contains the best dialog ever. I haven´t seen it in quite a while so maybe i will not get it right but.

Psycho - I have a bomb here i´m going to blow this place up!

Cobra - Go ahead i don´t shop here! (Best one liner in a comedy ever!) Relax amigo, you wanna talk? I´m a sucker for a good conversation.

Psycho - I don´t wanna talk to you man, bring in some TV-cameras!

Cobra - I can´t do that.

Psycho - Why!?!?

Cobra - I don´t deal with psychos i put them away. You are the diease, i´m the cure.

Psycho - Die!

Cobra Drop it! (Or does he really finish this line before shooting himself?)

Well, great, probably i´ve forgot some stuff.

replacing your Merc is not in the budget.

"I like your style, Dude..."

reply

1) I learned that as long as you kill alot of bad guys and look damn good doing it, expert marksmen with sniper rifles will hesitate for exceedingly long periods of time before shooting you.

2) I learned that as long as you dump a tank of gasoline on said sniper, AFTER he has gotten his shot off on you, that the bullet will magically miss you and clank against some random metal object

3) I learned that it is quite easy to strike a match against the side of a handgun

4) Hand grenades, sub-machine guns, and three cops are standard operating procedure when relocating a witness.

5) I don't want to be here when the "New World" comes around, primarily due to its ratio of 100 ugly men for every 1 uglier woman.

6) I learned that when the "New World" takes over, it will have enough money to purchase matching motorcycles for nearly all it's members, but will be too cheap to buy proper ski masks and would rather settle for wearing tight-fitting pantyhose around their faces.

God, this movie RULES!

reply

I've learn that some macho cops have superhuman earing. They can HEAR your eyelides flaping when you're having insomnia...

reply

I learned that if you shoot up Cobretti's car he only gets pissed when you shoot the headlights out.

That if you let your laser sight shine in a stationary location into darkness, the bad guy will fall for it and come to an area where you can stab him with a knife with a cobra on it.

That you can buy a combo kit of a Colt 1911A1 and Knife that have Cobras on the handles.

That if SledgeHammer wants to sleep with you to further your career, do it, becasue it will save his life.

That because Bridgette Neilsen is forgetful, a hapless security guard dies via van to face because she forgot her bag upstairs.

That reporters think bomb eilding, shotgun toting gang NWO's have more rights than victims
