Early in "Black Cobra," Detective Robert Malone establishes himself as a maverick, uncompromising policeman (otherwise we'd have not movie) when he guns down several criminals during a hostage standoff. Next, he finds himself protecting a female photographer who has witnessed a murder. She is sought by a moronic gang of motorcyclists who have been murdering and raping at will. Malone finds them, confronts them, and takes care of (police) business
What I found interesting about this movie it was made in 1987 but has the look of those 70s Blaxploitation films. I had assumed these flicks would have died out by 1982.
It's very much a foreign production with Fred the only American in whole thing and all the roles clearly dubbed. his salary was probably the biggest part of the budget. It's filmed like a spaghetti western. Horrible porn music, and no time for multiple camera setups so there is lots of zooming in and out.
It's actually a very slow movie that spawned a number of sequels, so it had to make money. Still I come back to the 1987 copyright. It looks sooo dated.
