Cobra is a 1986 American action film starring Sylvester Stallone as Los Angeles police officer Marion Cobretti, nicknamed Cobra, known for handling violent criminals his own way. His line about being the cure for a disease became the film's most quoted moment and was widely used in trailers and posters. In Brazil the Portuguese dub gave the quote a second life, circulating in edits, memes and soundboards as a shorthand for a tough, unbothered response to a threat or insult.
