Quick Answer

What is Black Cobra II about?

Black Cobra II is a 1989 Italian-American action, crime, drama, and thriller film directed by Edoardo Margheriti about Lt. Robert 'Bob' Malone, who is sent to the Philippines on a law-enforcement exchange and becomes entangled with a terrorist after a pickpocketing incident leads to murder.

Programmer's Pick

You can drop Malone in any timezone, but trouble always finds him first. Black Cobra II trades Chicago grit for Manila mayhem, loading up on shootouts, fistfights, and Fred Williamson’s unflappable cool. The only thing more dangerous than the villain? Malone’s patience for unwanted partners.

Overview

Lt. Robert 'Bob' Malone is back on duty, but this time the tough Chicago cop is shipped off to the Philippines thanks to an international law-enforcement exchange. No sooner does he land than he's pickpocketed at the airport, dragging him into a web of local crime. Teaming up—reluctantly—with Interpol agent Lt. Kevin McCall, Malone’s search for the thief spirals when the culprit turns up dead. The investigation quickly escalates as they follow a trail of clues to a ruthless terrorist, notorious for killing anyone who stands in his way. Set against the backdrop of Manila, the film serves up a blend of brawls, shootouts, and uneasy partnership, with Malone’s signature one-man-army attitude facing a threat far from home.
