[@Louback33]

You have to imagine the whole premise of Under the Rainbow began with the idea of a little person doing the salute into his balls, and they worked backwards from there

[@d3nza482]

NOPE! It started with the true story about a hotel full of midgets during the filming of Wizard of Oz. At some point over 300 midgets, many escaping Nazi Germany's "blood purity" laws and not speaking English were placed in the Culver Hotel, Culver City CA. A lot of them were circus performers. Others were street beggars and hustlers - and prostitutes. Who were suddenly being paid $125 a week - which was a lot of cash back then. Naturally, they spent most of it on booze and wild sex orgies. To quote Judy Garland... "They were drunks...They got smashed every night, and the police used to scoop them up in butterfly nets." Bert Lahr, the Cowardly Lion, mentions that “assistants were ordered to watch the midgets who brandished knives and conceived passions for normal-sized members of the cast” - i.e. some were quick to hold grudges and to try to settle them with knives. For bonus points, these hacks fail to mention that it is a movie staring Chevy Chase and Carrie Fisher.

[@henrywallacesghost5883]

"I don't shop here." is the best line in the movie.

[@judgedrekk2981]

ya know.....my friends had me with em once when they went to Wal Mart and i stared em dead in the eye and did my best Sly impression... "i don't shop here" and they didn't get it! but i laughed my ass off!

[@LordSamuelJ]

You missed the part when cobra cut his pizza with a pair of scissors

[@4000Wiggins]

What’s interesting is that when this film came out in the 80s, my friend who was 2 years older than me, had his Dad take him to see it at our local cinema (My parents were not having it). The next day after he watched it, my friend came over to my house and told me the entire plot of the film, and i was awestruck. Now, here i sit nearly 40 years later, reliving that moment. Different storyteller, same vibe. Thank you “This Aged Great!”

[@raoulk35]

I still find it funny that Stallone turned down Beverly Hills Cop to make Cobra.

[@RobbaKeef]

"He's slashing prices" 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@PrydeWater901]

“…slashing prices.” 🤣😂😅

[@JohnSmith-t7r1c]

I like when Cobra and the girl are at the motel and then he asks girl "can't sleep?" while he making a ton of noise cleaning and assembling all his guns.

[@HFG]

That's, like, a $50,000+ fully custom 1950 Mercury. Only one of the most iconic American cars ever built. Stallone still owns it.

[@Sig-i3z]

A bit of trivia, the actor who plays the psycho that shoots up the grocery store at the beginning of the movie (Marco Rodriguez) is the same actor who hijacks Elaine's flight in Seinfeld episode "The English Patient."

[@BlaccSuave]

Yep!! They rolled the Crepes!!

[@Purgatorysessions]

He's also Roger hernandez in eastbound and down

[@indiedavecomix3882]

Fun Fact: Stallone was supposed to be in Beverly Hills Cop. He didn't get the comedy angle, and all the changes he wanted to make, he took with him when he decided not to do BHC. Those changes became Cobra.

[@MNToThat]

Fun Fact #2: Stallone tried to get a co-wroting credit on the original Cobra book after he made the movie. *the movie wasn't very faithful to the book

[@petercofrancesco9812]

Now it all makes sense. Strangely enough I think he wrote Rocky and that was great. But when someone becomes rich and famous they think every idea that pops into their head is genius.

[@becp488]

I was so confused because I didn't realise these were two different movies at first.

[@hthrun]

Imagine if that was all the same movie...

[@azombie8mybaby]

No it’s the same movie. Sylvester Stallone went under cover as a pint sized Nazi to foil the Axe Gang and stop Hitler.

[@TheDeppertLasseVogt]

„And he heilhitlers Hitler in the nuts.“ is one of the funniest sentences I have ever heard.

[@tpac28]

No one was safe in an 80s movie grocery store.

[@thisagedgreat]

Ha!

[@Ohionortheast]

Kinda like real life in Chicago groceries stores

[@trbrtk]

Off the top of my head, movies that start with shooting up a grocery are Cobra, Stone Cold, and Rumble in the Bronx. What are some others? (Besides the McClain clip from The Simpsons).

The plates say Awsom 50 because it's a 1950 Mercury Cobra. Ties into both the movie title, and Stallone's character name "Cobretti".

[@eskwire06]

To all the car nerds offering their criticisms: LEAVE HIM ALONE, HE WAS DOIN HIS BEST

[@zombie..]

🎶 the *guy* was doin his *best* … 🎶 *LEAVE HIM ALONE* 🎶

[@judistench2167]

Sylvester Stallone has the acting range of a chunk of provolone.

[@Glassandcandy]

That’s funny but also strangely accurate. Provolone when used in small strategic doses is absolutely delicious, but too much or on the wrong sandwich and it’s almost unbearable. It really is like Stallone’s acting, the guy is responsible for Copland, one of the best cop dramas ever made, and “Stop or my mom will shoot!”, an actor who teeters between measured brilliance and Unbearable overindulgence. You’re on to something my friend

[@gregofcanada4494]

Speaking of Provolone, have you seen Oscar?

[@djangofett4879]

yeah I re-watched demolition Man the other day for the first time in like a decade and wow... Stallone's acting 😂. he is so terrible at anything other than just being mad.

[@ouij]

Ignore the comments about the 1950 Mercury. The license plate is obviously implying that Awesome Five-O has arrived on the scene.

[@MyKeeP81]

dude needs serious help with the fact he doesnt understand that

[@carlosr1176]

The song The Touch was made for this movie. It’s funny that Stallone was not bad ass enough to pull a song like that off but Optimus Prime totally was.

Weirdly, Cobra began as Beverly Hills Cop. Stallone thought BHC should be more serious, and the two ended up branching off into two movies.

I really miss her but she is mental now and doesn't want to get in touch with anyone.

"Are these fries the electoral map of the last Presidential election? Cuz their turnin Red." Im dead hahahaha That aged very well indeed!

[@jackinmyhoggoff807]

Stallone was starring in Beverly Hill Cop. Basically, he rewrote the entire script, and that's Cobra. Instead of them firing Stallone, which they weren't going to do, they said he we'll make your script into Cobra. Then they offered the Beverly Hills Cop to Eddie Murphy.

[@TheOriginalCaptainTrips]

Love all the stuff you are doing. Now when I watch movies I get a mental notification when the movie I'm watching is suitable for This Aged Great! Most recent, Sixteen Candles. I was a teen durring the 80's and am a huge John Hughes fan. However, through the perception of society today some of this didn't age so great. ;)
