I assume it had to be on purpose, but in Beverly Hills Cop 2, when Alex calls back to Detroit in Billy's bedroom, Billy has a poster for Cobra on his wall.

He got his biggest comeback

[@shmishash]

Reinhold was given the lead in Vice Versa (1988), but it flopped. "That was really the end of my highfalutin Hollywood career," Reinhold said later. "That's when the phone stopped ringing." He also developed a reputation for being difficult on set. "I was spoiled, and I was arrogant," said Reinhold of this period later. "I was very demanding, had an overblown image of who I was and got a reputation for being difficult. And rightfully so."

[@Romulan2469]

Also, listening to Brian Thompson talk about the sequences that Sly directed for the movie (he was basically pulling triple duty as director, cinmetographer, and actor -- I had no idea Stallone was the one who blocked and staged the shot for Thompson doing his infamous "pig" sequence at the end) you really learn just how creative Sly was behind the scenes in making certain movies and sequences as iconic as they were.

What?? I'm not calling Judge a liar but people tend to remember things differently. He may not have been privileged to the studio drama directly but maybe got facts second-hand/ hearsay. If Beverly Hills Cop was gonna be an action movie, why would the producers think of Eddie Murphy as a good replacement for THE action star at the time? It's been reported that BHC was originally a comedy, Sly's first attempt. However, after he rewrote the script to be more action-heavy, the studio and he parted ways. Hence,.comedy = Murphy. The mention of Katzenberg bringing Cobra to Stallone's attention is unlikely since it was a Warner Bros property. After Sly parted with Paramount, he took his version of the script and turned into Cobra.
