4/10
A below average addition to the buddy cop genre
20 September 2022
The Black Cobra 2 (1989) is a movie that I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows Lieutenant Bob Malone being restationed from Chicago to the Philippines where his methods hopefully cause less issues. He arrives in Manila and immediately is targeted by a local gang and pick pocketed. He will need to work with a local police officer, ie his new partner, to track down his stolen wallet and the people behind the act.

This movie is directed by Edoardo Margheriti (Black Cobra 3) and stars Fred Williamson (Dusk till Dawn), Nicholas Hammond (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) and Peter Ladkani (Delta Force 2).

This picture has fun 80s music throughout. I really enjoyed the soundtrack. The writing is very average, both the storyline and dialogue. The one liners were corny and not as witty as they hoped. There was too much about this film that was cliche and the end felt like a bubble gum commercial.

Overall, I would consider this a below average addition to the buddy cop genre. I would score this a 3.5/10 and recommend skipping it.
