My review was written in April 1990 after watching the movie on South Gate Entertainment video cassette.
Fred Williamson is on automatic pilot in the direct-to-video feature release from Italy, "The Black Cobra 2".
Carrying his trademark stogie, he plays a Chicago cop sent to Manila under an Interpol exchange program. Once in the Far East he teams up with Inspector McColl (Nicholas Hammond) to go after some terrorists, who end up kidnapping the heroine and McColl's son.
Uneventful film lacks the usual exploitation elements. Even the interracial theme involving Williamson's romantic exploits is extremely tame.
Tech credits are so-so, with poor dubbing of several of the supporting players. Edoardo Margheritit takes over directing the series from Stelvio Massi, with contradictory anglicized names (A. J. Dawson vs. Dan Edwards) displayed on the box versus the screen for this video.
