There was some attempt to give the toughened lieutenant Cobra (Stallone) an understated sense of humour, but it's about as successful as trying to pin a badge on smoke. The musical montage is absolutely atrocious (and that's being kind to it). The main bad guy is a jobbing actor that I like but he's written as a crazed murderous meat-machine with no nuance whatsoever.
Amidst all the clichés and copycat nonsense the music adds a suitably menacing tone and is, for me, the most memorable ingredient.
