To me, this movie is perfection.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Robert Malone (Fred Williamson) a cop who lives by his own rules, is assigned to protect a pretty photographer (Eva Grimaldi) from a gang of gang raping and killer bikers lead by a man who looks like Richard Kiel in a black Michael Jackson gangster jacket. It was pretty cool in its day, but gangs wearing new looking jackets is Hollywood.The film doesn't show the rape and the killing is not graphic. In fact the whole vigilante cop thing wasn't well done. Available on numerous multi-packs. VHS transfer hasn't been that good.Guide: Not much swearing. Brief nudity.

I have watched black cobra for the first time in 1987 on TV, and I re watched it not so long ago on DVD. Yes it contains a lot of grim scenes with free violence and blood. But the main thing here is the story of one cop, Malone who decides to make justice himself by killing the whole mob of bikers who kills people randomly.The acting from the bandit leader is very good as the bad guy and the dialog even not at its highest peak is funny. The scene where Malone frees the hostages in the pool by killing the suspects and the scene where he shoots a scum group member in the hospital were awesome. A good flick to watch the week end.I give it 6 out of 10.

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.

Makers of black cobra -you are obviously talented just please don't make a rip off of mad max...Okay i admit i did not see the whole film, and from what i did see the film looked quite good, but come on, police vs murderous bikers thats a complete plot rip off of mad max one of my favourite films. Mad Max (1979) is great for its original story line this is a complete rip off , do the film makers realise this ? Its just another renegade cop vs biker film that has tried to copy mad max but not realised its impossible.Please if you want to mAke a cop vs enemy film make it about something that hasn't been done already..... don't make it about any of the following....COPS VS-BikersGangstersAliensDinosaursThanks for your time i trust another Mad max or Robocop sequel is already being made.
