Directed by Umberto Lenzi (not found on Spout!)
We have seen low budget Italian movies try to get away with some fantastic things over the years, but this has got to be the topper! Theres gratuitous nudity, theres some major soundtrack thievery (during a car chase/kidnapping scene they play just about the whole theme from Exterminators of the Year 3000!) but there is no Fred Williamson! Well, there is, but all his scenes are from earlier Black Cobra entries, the first in particular. His voice is even dubbed because of the altered dialogue! Karl Landgren (the villain from the original) returns, as do a couple of other incidental characters, in a most failed attempt to create continuity within the framework of the new story. Oh yeah, the plot! Well, a bunch of studded leather jacket wearing terrorists kidnap a professor of something that isn't really clear for purposes that aren't really clear. Later, the bad guys go after the professor's wife, but again, there doesn't really seem to be any reason why this is happening. Williamson lives on as the Black Cobra in a number of repeated scenes but is nowhere to be found in the climax that showcases Bobby Rhodes more than anything else. The newly filmed material is notably bad and often times hilarious but this will definitely be a movie for brave bad-film fans or perhaps for die-hard Umberto Lenzi completists.
