JUSTICE FOR ALL !,

This review is from: Cobra: The Complete Series (DVD)
For the first time all 22 thrilling episodes of "Cobra" are available on DVD. This five single sided disc set from Vei has its hits and misses regarding the quality. While you do get all 22 episodes spread out over five discs there is some pixilation in some of the episodes and you can definitely tell where the commercials would have been inserted. The video and sound quality is pretty decent with some noticeable amounts of grain in some of the episodes and some fluctuation in sound here and there. My only real complaint is that the discs sit on top of one another in the case and they're hard to take out. You do run the risk of scratching them if there not already scratched when you get them. The disc menus and disc artwork are well done. I don't believe any restoration went into these episodes for this DVD release but in my opinion the quality is still really decent and Dudikoff fans should enjoy this set. Sadly the series ended so quickly we never learned what happened to any of the characters and the series never received a proper ending.1980's B-action movie superstar Michael Dudikoff tears up the streets and the screen in Stephen J. Cannell's 1993 television series "COBRA". Former Navy seal and skilled martial arts expert Robert "Scandal" Jackson has been given a new face and an opportunity to become the leader of an elite undercover crime fighting agency named "Cobra". The agency is designed to help people who need assistance from outsiders to help them deal with the injustice's they face. As leader of the agency "Scandal" is given everything he needs to get the job done and help those who cannot help themselves, even if it means going outside the law. He is assisted by other "COBRA" members Danielle LaPointe and Dallas Cassel. If you're a fan of Michael Dudikoff or the American Ninja movies than "Cobra" may be for you.

Another Stephen Cannell - shot in Vancouver, B.C. - TV series,
By
This review is from: Cobra: The Complete Series (DVD)
I actually DID enjoy this show when it was on, but only because the whole gamut of Cannell shows (Rockford, A-Team, Wiseguy) were always better than the competition (except maybe a few of Bellisario's). However, COBRA was definitely at the low end of the scale. The main plus-factor? You get to see Beautiful British Columbia, where Cannell had a studio for years. Also, homegrown talent Saga (largely unknown outside of the country, except in Germany where they have been touring for three decades) did the title track. Dudikoff? Why is he an actor - his spiky hair? But the girl: Hot! She's a Canadian, from Saskatchewan, and has appeared in the 15 years since on various Canadian shows like Corner Gas.Is it worth it to buy this collection? Yes. A reminder of the good ol' days of simple action oriented television.

90's series rule!,
By M. Kramer "Hero Worshipper" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cobra: The Complete Series (DVD)
ok well not all 90's TV series rule there were some crappy ones. personally though, i always enjoyed Cobra. (not hard to enjoy when you grew up watching American Ninja)there are a few episodes that stand out The pilot has a great moment when Scandal Jackson (Dudikoff) and his new associate Dallas Castel (Tolkan) are talking to a crimelord and the guy says "You're ego is writing checks your body cannot cash" and Tolkan who said that exact line in Top Gun looks at him suddenly (I think Tolkan was expecting him to say something else and they decided to give the bad guy a different lines to make his reaction look better) I'd die for you is almost an exact rerun of the Flash episode Beat the Clock, where a songstress was murdered and her husband is the one on Death Row for her murder. The Similiarities continue as The victim in the Flash episode was named Linda Lake and the Victim in Cobra is Mindi Lake. However, unlike the flash where the victim was actually alive and sufferring from induced amnesia, (another woman was put in a car crash so her face burned and her dental records switched to fake Linda's death) Mindi lake was actually positively murdered. There are some others but I won't spoil them for you. all in all you won't regret getting this set. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful

Sentiment,

This review is from: Cobra: The Complete Series (DVD)
Let me first start by saying I got excellent service when ordering this dvd. I chose Standard International Shipping which usually takes about 4 weeks. Instead, I received these dvd's in 4 DAYS!Again a show that they don't sell on dvd in Holland, so it was great to find it here. Praise the Lord for creditcards and Amazon :) Loved this show when I was younger, have been a fan of Michael's since I was about 11 years old and once owned his Official website. As I am watching the show now, I have to say it's a typical 90's show, but still entertaining. And it's just great to be able to find it online, watching it brings me back to good times in my life :) 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful

Fun show; packaging could use some work,
By David A. Shugert "one season show fan" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cobra: The Complete Series (DVD)
A fun but ridiculous action show starring Michael Dudikoff that aired in syndication for one season from 1993-94. Each disc has the episode titles listed on the front, and when you click on the episode you want to watch, up comes a description of the episode and some trvia, as well. Nice. The quality of each episode is solid.My only complaint is that the discs are packaged with one disc kind of sitting on the other. They're not the easiest to get out and I'm a little concerned about damaging them. But that's minor, because if you're a Dudikoff fan like me, you'll love having this set. Definitely worth the money. |
