Hitman the Cobra
Synopsis
"The war has reached its peak; the entire country is suffering under the bloody and merciless occupation of enemy troops. Innocent people are being tortured and ruthlessly executed. To put an end to this reign of terror once and for all, the local troops have received support from a handful of highly trained commandos. These commandos are led by the American elite soldier Gordon, who also has a very personal score to settle. The guerrilla troops are under the command of Mike, with whom he shares a gruesome past dating back to the Vietnam War. The day of deadly reckoning is drawing ever closer, and only one will survive." - DVD Back of the Box Description Hong Kong cut and paste edit of the 1984 Filipino War film "Kumander Sumulong" with new scenes.
