by

Arrow Video is preparing for a bustling summer filled with exceptional home video content. Highlights from their May lineup include 4K editions of “Jason Goes to Hell” and “Jason X”, while the “Dark City” 4K remaster will be released in June. To keep the excitement going, Arrow Video will be releasing a remastered version along with a special edition of Sylvester Stallone’s iconic action film, “Cobra”, in July.

On Friday, I was thrilled to see that Arrow Video had revealed their lineup for July releases, and let me tell you, the movie enthusiast in me is particularly excited about their special edition of Cobra, a classic from 1986. This special edition boasts a stunning new 4K restoration straight from the original camera negative, along with an array of exclusive features, fresh artwork, and a collector’s booklet. If you’re as excited as I am, you can pre-order your very own copy of Arrow’s Cobra 4K right here.

The enhanced 4K version of the movie “Cobra” is scheduled for release in both the United States and Canada on July 22nd, coming after its premiere in the U.K. on July 21st. For more information about the technical details and exclusive extras, take a look below.

1986 saw the arrival of the action-thriller “Cobra,” marking the second team-up between Sylvester Stallone and director George P. Cosmatos, following their successful partnership on “Rambo: First Blood Part II” in 1985. Immediately after wrapping up that project, they chose to join forces again for “Cobra.” Later, Cosmatos directed the iconic 1993 Western film, “Tombstone,” which was recently restored in 4K and has been a quick sell-out at all major retailers.

Among the titles Arrow Video revealed for their July collection is “Cobra.” Other releases in their lineup are 4K Blu-ray versions of “The Stuff,” “Narc,” and “Zombie Flesh Eaters,” along with Blu-ray editions for “Crumb Catcher” and the “Nightwatch” films directed by Ole Bornedal.
