Practical Effects
That custom 1911 with cobra grip and matchstick. Ridiculous. Iconic.
Stunts
Night Slasher's final meltdown—actual on-fire stunt work, unhinged.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Stallone rewrote most of the script himself, cutting dialogue to let his scowl do the talking. The original cut was apparently 130 minutes.
This is peak Reagan-era 'tough on crime' fantasy—Cobra's badge literally reads 'zombie squad.' The movie hates the legal system more than the actual killer.
