What's left behind the scenes
- In the Soviet film "Day of Love" (1991), there is a scene where the characters are watching "Cobra." Near the end, one of them kills one of his daughter's attackers in a similar manner.
- The film is based on Paula Gosling's novel "Fair Game".
- Filming of the movie took place from October 23, 1985, to January 17, 1986.
- There are 52 corpses in the film.
- The main character's car is a 1950 Mercury Monterey, or more precisely, a Ford Mercury. Stallone also owned the car in real life. Nine years later, in 1994, the car was stolen from his garage. Fifteen years later, in 2009, Stallone learned that the Mercury had been sold at auction to a company providing vehicles for film shoots, and he sued the recovered thief, who turned out to be an antique collector, for $3 million, which he ultimately received. And the car was returned to the actor.
- Stallone personally insisted that Brigitte Nielsen play the lead female role. He also insisted on George P. Cosmatos as the director.
- At that time, Nielsen and Stallone were married.
- The film is based on the novel 'Fair Game' by Paula Gosling.
- A sequel was planned, but the project was never realized.
- Stallone used some ideas from the script drafts of the film 'Beverly Hills Cop' (1984).
- The film is only partially based on Paula Gosling’s novel, as Stallone stated that the book lacked enough action for an action movie.

- The film grossed $12.6 million on its opening weekend, which was the most successful premiere for "Warner Brothers" studio at the time.
