Daily Dialogue — March 12, 2020

“You’re a disease, and I’m the cure.”

— Cobra (1986), screenplay by Sylvester Stallone, novel by Paula Gosling (novel)

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Action Hero.

Trivia: The first draft of Sylvester Stallone’s script had lot of differences from later drafts and the film. These include opening shootout taking place in movie theater instead of a grocery store and lot more people getting killed, Cobra mentioning how some psychopath he was trying to catch killed his girlfriend, additional big action sequence taking place during night on a boat where Cobra and Ingrid are hiding when they get attacked by Nightslasher’s cult members but Cobra and Gonzalez manage to kill them all, and different ending in which it’s revealed that Monte was actual leader of the New Order cult and when he tries to kill Ingrid he gets shot and killed by Cobra.
