Lawyer Extraordinaire, Mary Pason is representing Ned Collie at his trial. There is no question that Ned is guilty of the crimes he is accused of committing. Judge Raelee is presiding over the trial. After uncovering the fact that Ms. Bowder is a Marleybonian infiltrator and putting Judge Judi and Claudia Bee on the stand, Mary needs proof of the lawlessness of the judges. She sends you to the Hall of Judgment to photomance any lawlessness.
The Judges of Wallaru are the law. Here are their rules:
We don’t take off our helmets.
We enforce the law equally.
We follow orders.
We seize the dream.
Chief Judge: “You’re all out of control! You’re loose cannons! You tap dance right over the line like the rules don’t apply to you!”
Riggs: “I get results”
Chief Judge: “You get unnecessary explosions!”
Riggs: “Those explosions get results!”
Chief Judge: “Those explosions cost more than the crimes you’re fighting! Like, you, you destroyed a casino to catch something called Meowiarty.”
Harry: “I was feelin’ lucky, punk.”
Chief Judge: “I don’t even know what YOUR deal is.”
Kobra: “I don’t like the law.”
Chief Judge: “You are the law! You’re all on suspension. I order you to get out of here.”
Riggs: “Think we’ll just arrest this Wizard and save the day instead!”
Judge Kobra doesn’t like the law.
Judge is a title held by several significant characters in the Judge Dredd series. The role of Street Judges combines those of judge and police officer, thus avoiding long legal wrangles by allowing for criminals to be tried and sentenced on the spot.
The Judges themselves are not above the law — a violation that would earn a citizen a few months in an Iso-Cube would get a Judge a twenty-year sentence, to be served at hard labor on Saturn’s moon, Titan.
Cobra is a 1986 American action film directed by George P. Cosmatos and written by Sylvester Stallone, who stars in the titular role. The film, loosely based on the 1974 novel A Running Duck by Paula Gosling (later published as Fair Game and filmed under that title in 1995), co-stars Reni Santoni, Brigitte Nielsen and Andrew Robinson. Cobra follows Los Angeles police Lt. Marion “Cobra” Cobretti, who investigates a string of violent crimes and also protects a witness targeted by the perpetrators.
Cobra is the final film which featured the collaboration between Stallone and Nielsen after Rocky IV (1985) and until Creed II (2018), and the only film the pair are both featured in while married to one another in real life, before their divorce a year later. The script was largely inspired by Stallone’s original script for Beverly Hills Cop (1984).
Cobra was released to generally negative reviews with criticism on its excessive violence and overuse of genre tropes, but it was a box office success and also has since been considered as a cult classic.
The Hall of Judgement is inspired by the Halls of Justice from the movie Mad Max.

Although I am well versed in Pop Culture references but I do not claim to have caught them all. Let me know your favorites in the comments and if I’ve missed one you caught, let me know so I can add it to the list.
