I learned a lot.

It's funny how the older generation doesn't really understand what a DVD commentary is.

Or they just don't give a shit about doing one!

I assumed his commentary would be mostly ranting about how awful Stallone was to work with, but I guess it's water under the bridge now.

I wonder if he still is. I've heard nothing but good things about Creed, like it's Original Rocky quality. Maybe it was just 80s Stallone that was a pain to work with.

Cocaine?

I'm sure he's grown up. Cobra was made soon after Rambo II, when his star was it's brightest. It was mostly down hill from then on, so maybe he learned some humility during the desert that was 90s and early 2000s.
Wikipedia lists some of his jerk moments during the production.

The supporting cast and extras were forbidden from talking to Stallone on set.

At one point during filming, Stallone complained to cinematographer Ric Waite that they were falling behind and that he needed to push his crew to work harder. Waite responded by telling Stallone that the delays were due to his fooling around with Briigitte Nielsen and showing off for his bodyguards. Although Stallone was shocked that somebody would talk to him that way, he cleaned up his act and behaved more professionally, although he returned to his old egocentric behavior a few weeks later. Waite later said in interview that, despite his huge ego, Stallone had a great sense of humor. He also confirmed a rumor that Stallone was the true director of the film, calling George P. Cosmatos a good producer but a bad director.

For Nightslasher's monologue in the lead-up to the final fight, Brian Thompson did the scene with a script girl standing in for Stallone, who was busy watching a basketball game on TV.

I actually like Copland.

I actually like Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot

I'm not saying Stallone didn't have good roles during his dark ages, but the box office wasn't so kind.
