No. That was simple deceleration. The "cobra" had not even been invented when that movie was made as there were no aircraft capable of doing it. As powerful as a Tomcat is/was, it does not have the thrust to weight ratio to stand on it's tail. Also, attempting the "cobra" in a Tomcat would be pretty much a death sentence for that pilot. Tomcats were prone to getting into flat spins and that maneuver would just be asking for trouble. That being said, an F-22 can easily perform the "cobra".
