12 Cheesy Action Films More Fun Than Terminator Genisys

All suit-and-tie liberals want to do is protect the rights of violent criminals, who go free on a technicality and commit the same offence again seventy-two hours later. That’s why we need cops like Marion ‘Cobra’ Cobretti, a loner who disobeys the rules and gets the job done. Where the law stops…. he begins.

Exploiting the fear of crime as shamelessly (and cartoonishly) as Rambo: First Blood Part II exploited concerns about American POWs, Sylvester Stallone once again proves his patriotism by annihilating everything in sight. Fortunately, Cobra’s bad guys are easy to spot: they’re a sweaty, humourless bunch of over-actors who, in between banging axes together in a warehouse, talk about “the way of the new world.”

His colleagues wear suits, but Cobra prefers jeans, designer shirts, sunglasses and a matchstick that occupies a corner of his mouth for the entire movie. Whenever he caps a bad guy, he either twirls his weapon or pulls a ‘cool’ firing stance, just like Robocop. He says stuff like, “I don’t deal with psychos, I put ‘em away.” He tells one creep, “You’re the disease, I’m the cure.” Thank God he’s on our side.
