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

    Stallone has some gems out there.

    I highly recommend Cop Land. That movie was made in the 90s when his career was on a down turn and he was desperately trying to prove he could still act. It has a bunch of Sopranos and mob film actors, as the movie is set in New Jersey and is about a small town where all the NYPD police officers come to live. Stallone is this sheriff of the small town and the NYC cops who are living there outside their jurisdiction see Stallone as someone they can easily manipulate and he will turn to look the other way from their corruption.

    That movie gets into the 'blue code' and how cops will protect each other, but also how city cops accurately build "cop towns" out in the rural areas and small towns. They will buy homes outside of the city they work and basically do a white flight, and that small town becomes a cop land for them. The people who just so happen to live in these cop towns are scared shitless.

      Over The Top is, well, over the top. Very stupid yet entertaining. It's about a truck driver who competes in an arm wrestling championship and is trying to get custody of his son
