Cobra. 1986.

A model witnesses a murder lead by a cult gang and goes into witness protection with tough off the rule book officer known as Cobra.

Sly Stallone plays Marion Cobretti aka The Cobra, who is assigned to protect Brigette Nielsen from cult leader Brian Thompson and his followers. Andrew Robinson and Art LeFleur are the superiors who one allows Cobra to do what he wants as he gets the result while the other tries to go by the rule book. Reni Santoni and Lee Garlington are the Cobra's partners and assigned to protect Nielsen.

This is a decent 80s flick with a good soundtrack by Sylvester Levay that some songs were removed from the film. Yoram Globus and Menahem Golan produced this although their company Cannon isn't listed except Warmer Bros they did bring in George P. Cosmatos to direct but he had no control when technically Stallone was telling the crew on what to do, talk about having a ego boost. The film was to be released at the at the 2 hour mark but was trimmed down and does take out some of the character build up, does have plenty of action and some good one liners
