From the Arrow press release:

On July 22nd, the ‘80s cop thriller, Cobra, starring Sylvester Stallone (Rocky) and directed by George P. Cosmatos (Rambo: First Blood Part II), makes its global debut on 4K UHD. The Limited Edition release features a brand new 4K restoration of the film from the original 35mm negative, and is packed with bonus content.

When a mass shooting at a crowded supermarket evolves into a hostage situation, the Los Angeles police call in Lieutenant Marion “Cobra” Cobretti (Sylvester Stallone, First Blood) to resolve the crisis. As Cobra succinctly tells the shooter, “You're a disease, and I'm the cure,” and, even though he neutralizes the gunman, things get worse in the city. The shooter was a member of The New World, a muscle-bound violent cult led by the “Night Slasher” (Brian Thompson, Lionheart), who are rising up to reshape society to their ideals. Cobra must protect model Ingrid Knudsen (Brigette Nielsen, Red Sonja), who escaped an attack and is a witness against the Night Slasher if she lives. Cobra is one of the ‘80s crown jewels of The Cannon Group, with its mix of hyper violence and Stallone as the ultimate cop who goes beyond the law to stop crime.

The special features include audio commentaries by film critics Kim Newman and Nick de Semlyen and film scholars Josh Nelson and Martyn Pedler, an archive audio commentary by director George P. Cosmatos, a TV version of the film featuring deleted and alternate scenes, an interview with composer Sylvester Levay, a visual essay by film critic Abbey Bender on Cobra and 80s maximalist cinema, a visual essay by film critic Martyn Conterio on Cobra and the “Maverick Cop” genre, archival interviews with actors Brian Thompson, Marco Rodriguez, Andrew Robinson, Lee Garlington, and Art LaFleur, The Making of Cobra featurette, trailers, TV spots, an image gallery, an illustrated collector’s booklet with essays by Clem Bastow, William Bibbiani, Priscilla Page, and Ariel Schudson, and a double-sided fold-out poster featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Tommy Pocket.
