Fred Williamson in a movie? An Italian cop movie? Normally, just one of those things would get me pumped up before watching, so with both of those things true in this movie, you can guess my expectations were pretty high. Sadly, this movie didn't even get close to meeting my expectations. It's a rip-off of the Sylvester Stallone movie COBRA - we have an opening hostage situation defused by the hero, a gang that hangs out in an abandoned warehouse that kill people for no particular reason, we have a woman in the fashion industry that witnesses a murder, we subsequently get an attack on her while she's in the hospital... need I go on? Actually, I wouldn't have minded much the movie being a blatant rip-off had it been entertaining - but it isn't. It's *extremely* cheap - it makes a Canadian made-for-video movie look like a big budget Hollywood movie. But what's worse is that it is painfully dull. It's slow-moving, with a limited amount of action - that is, if you can call these scenes "action" sequences since they are passionless. It's hard to believe that this movie apparently made enough money to not only make a part 2, but a part 3! I'll be reporting on those movies shortly.

Fred Williamson rocks! I will admit that the cinematography is horrible, the acting is way below sub-par, the direction is beyond weak but this movie just rocks! Some movies can be "so bad that they're good" and this film is honestly a fine description of that phrase. Yeah the villains are awful dorky in their little bike-suits and dirt-bikes they haul around in. Williamson is solid gold as Detective Robert Malone in this flick, he's bad, he's mean, he's had a rough past that he'd love to forget and he gets to protect a photographer that took some incriminating photos of a biker gang (The Black Cobras) committing a crime that unfortunately for her and Malone didn't develop properly, soo (you guessed it!) that leaves the face of the culprit(s) as unknown. So Malone's gotta get out on the streets and do it his own way , this film should've been called "Dirty Robert", Williamson's character is practically a mirror image to Clint Eastwood's famous "Dirty" Harry Callahan character. I suggest this movie to everybody that breathes on the face of this earth. If you are having an evening alone (or with friends) and you wanna watch a movie that doesn't ask much of the viewer and you wanna see some butts get kicked....Then my friends, The Black Cobra is for You! 10 out of 10 stars because I'm sure nobody else likes this movie as much as I do!

Cobra Nero(aka Black Cobra)has average music more suited to Italian zombie flicks than an action film and more than it's share of bad acting,dumb bad guys and sweaty close ups yet it has some well shot action sequences while Mr Williamson is on screen and some well done gore effects.The climax is a bit longwinded but it still left me wanting to watch more.Luckily there have been a couple of sequels since so we can all look forward to seeing Fred Williamson playing Malone again.

Cobra Nero or The Black Cobra is more less like Stallone's Cobra although this film is trying to be like it.It's a B-movie story as Fred Williamson goes after a group of bikers who threatens a community.This film not only lacks characteristic wise, but it has its few dull moments. Fred Williamson's character Malone doesn't look too happy. The viewer knows he's tough but there's not enough life in this character.The music score is well.. not good. The acting's not really up to scratch, but scriptwise? (I'm shaking my head) Not my cup of tea.If anyone remembers seeing this movie, you could see it on a rainy day. I did. ..And I was slightly happy!
