One of the best "so bad its good" movies I've seen in a while.

I really enjoy that Cobra diet shames his partner and the love interest. Sylvester, the actor, can't help but put his own obsession with diet into the movie, and its hilarious that it bleeds thru to the character. Kept waiting for Cobra to look at the camera and tell us to eat more veggies, or go on Keto.

The movie is basically proto "Judge Dredd," which is just proto "The Punisher." As in "Cops are the good guys, but they need more violence and killing to actually be effective against the Evil gangs, murderers, and terrorist that want to kill innocents."

It's depressing how many people think this, but also how made up their view of reality is. MS13, Terrorist, Antifa, the homeless, burglars and thieves are all just minutes away from murdering you, kidnapping your kids, stealing everything you own, etc.

The mirror image of this movie for the left is so comically impossible to imagine existing. A cool, sexy trans person Labor organizer, with a match in their lips in case they need to start a fire later has to go around killing cartoonishly evil landlords (like, sweaty gross people with a cigar banging on poor, photogenic tenants doors demanding rent with a 10% increase) while flirting with the impossible attractive whistle blowing journalist. Throw in a scene where they dom a cop and maybe a cool break dancing montage. By the end, the main character has single handed freed an entire city from the grips of landlords and everyone lives happily ever after. Sets up the sequel with Pay Day Loans.

edit: actually the steamy main character would have organized and educated a whole city to defend themselves against the evil landlords, but would have to kill the big baddy landlord themselves in the climax

      the movie is good (by being so bad) and worth watching. its a window into Sylvester's twenty-somethings brain. plus, its barely an hour, so its a easy watch. I followed it up with 'Hardcore Henry,' which is like 2 hours and change and, while similarly a great window into a certain sort of persons brain, really drags by the end.

        was trying to joke that your title meant you and Stallone sat and watched his movie together
