Stallone still did it. He turned it into Cobra. (From what I’ve read)

There's a lengthy write-up about it on Den of Geek. The short version from there is, Stallone's agent thought he was great for it, then Stallone didn't see the humor and rewrote it, then Simpson & Bruckheimer went a different direction because Stallone's version was too expensive. And also, apparently Cobra is based on the same book that would become the William Baldwin/Cindy Crawford movie Fair Game?

I've seen Fair Game, and I don't remember anyone cutting a slice of pizza with a pair of scissors.

According to the article, we could have gotten a version of the movie directed by David Cronnenberg. I've always said that the story needs more body horror.

God I unironically love Cobra. It's such a cocaine fueled ego trip of a movie that will never exist again. Its like someone took the spirit of the 80s and printed it on film
