Tough-guy cop Malone tangles with terrorists in the Philippines—hostages, shootouts, and plenty of attitude.
BLACK COBRA II
The villain is a terrorist who'll kill anyone who impedes his escape. The terrorist breaks into a schoolroom full of children and holds the kids hostage. It's up to Williamson -- now saddled with an unwanted partner -- to eliminate the bad guy without taking the kids with him.
Malone’s passport gets stamped, but his fists still do the talking.
Fred Williamson returns as Malone, trading Chicago grit for Manila mayhem in this blaxploitation sequel that doesn’t skimp on shootouts or attitude. The film’s cop-vs-terrorist plot packs in hostage standoffs, airport pickpockets, and enough M16s and karate chops to keep your popcorn hand busy. If you’re counting, that’s at least three police officers shot, one stabbed, and one hell of a blood spatter quota.
