    Detective Malone serves as a fitting end to the Black Cobra series

    I recently watched Detective Malone (1991) on a random streaming service. The plot revolves around terrorists kidnapping a top defense specialist, leading to the unconventional Detective Malone's involvement when traditional methods fail.

    Directed by Umberto Lenzi (Ghosthouse) and featuring Fred Williamson (Dusk till Dawn), Bruno Bilotta (Equalizer 3), Bobby Rhodes (Demons), Maurice Poli (Five Dolls for an August Moon), and Angelo Ragusa (Quantum of Solace).

    Fred Williamson delivers an awesome performance, making him easy to root for, and the shootouts and action scenes are enjoyable. However, the storyline and dialogue are cliché, and the acting feels made-for-television. On the positive side, the soundtrack is decent.

    In conclusion, Detective Malone serves as a fitting end to the Black Cobra series. I would rate this a 3.5-4/10 and suggest skipping it due to its predictable storyline and made-for-TV quality acting.

    absolutely awful to watch

    This film should never have been made. It has a lot of scenes from Black cobra1 and 2 and it doesn't make any sense. The leader of the bikers was supposed to be dead and now he is back with his crew in the role of djihadists. We also see the well remembered scene of the phone call where the Iranian Doctor speaks with someone but in Black Cobra2, he was killed, so that didn't make any sense to put him back. Third scene is the home of Malone which was invaded in the first black cobra by a biker member, we see the same scene here but with the bad guy playing the role of djihadist, again another non sense. And the final scene where the djihadist leader seen as the biker leader in black cobra1 confronts Malone's colleague, wasn't he supposed to be dead in the end of Black Cobra 1?Do not watch it, it is a terrible movie, 4 out of 10
