Crappy film

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Having been a Dudikoff fan since AMERICAN NINJA came out when I was a kid, I was naturally very excited when I learned he would be starring in his very own television series. I watched COBRA from the first episode to the last, and was never bored. Though there were certainly moments of action (gun fights, fist fights, and an occasional chase), it was kept to a minimum, and so was the violence, while still giving Dudikoff a chance to kick bad guy butt. I found the characters to be rather appealing, and the chemistry between the three leads was good. I was glad to see COBRA last for at least a full season, but I certainly think it could have hung around for awhile longer. How the heck does syndicated crap like BAYWATCH last for eleven years, but the cool syndicated shows like COBRA get canned after just one season?

This was a very cool show, because Michael Dudikoff did what he did best. Show his athletic skills and kick ass. The great thing about this series was that you did not have to see the whole series to follow the plot. All episodes could stand on their own. But if you did want to follow the whole plot it never got boring to be reminded of the main story (Michael Dudikoff searching for his father's legacy).
