Yes! This German film is pure idol worship to Heather Thomas, though her bra is not in this one. We can't fault them for that, nope. Sure, there is a cobra in it. Sure there are hunks in it. Sure there are other babes, all blonde, in this. But Heather Thomas steals the show with her acting...er, her big smiles. Oh! Guess what! Elke Sommer is in this too. Machine guns, bank robberies, damsels in peril, and pre-marital sex all grace this film that is set in, and filmed in Sri Lanka! So pour yourself a cup of tea and enjoy my posting on 1987's "Kiss of the Cobra," directed by Franz Josef Gottlieb.
Kumar (Albert Fortell) is frolicking and loving the sultry blonde, and topless, Jane (Birte Berg), in the Sri Lankan surf. They'll than have pre-marital sex after Kumar, an amateur archeologist, gives Jane a stone with a cobra on it. She'll make a pendant out of it and wear it. Mistake. A jeweler tells the non-superstitious Jane that whoever has this stone will die quickly. Sad...Jane's death scene is vicious, twisted, and heartbreaking. Heroin dealers end up with the stone and Kumar goes to see them for revenge. He'll kill the ones who held the stone. Let's skip most of this and go right to Heather Thomas. Merryl (Thomas) goes to visit her aunt, Kris (Sommer), who lives on a Sri Lankan estate. Merryl does not know that Kris and her boyfriend, Miguel (Tony Kendall) are the island's biggest heroin traffickers. They have a million dollar shipment coming and Merryl sort of figures it out, putting her sweet...smile...in peril. Without a bra, she does some investigating and is present when the shipment is ripped off by Brian (Brad Harris),and his merry band of Vietnam vets/ex-pats.
Kumar has joined Brian's gang and they have abducted Merryl. Merryl is sweet on Kumar, and she and him escape back to the city to inflict havoc. Miguel's people were responsible for Jane's horrible demise, and Merryl feels betrayed by her aunt. Gunfights with machineguns, a cobra, more deaths attributed to the cobra stone, and Elke Sommer and Heather Thomas looking real good follow. Still without a bra, Merryl is found out, imprisoned by Kris, and slated for liquidation. Now Kumar better hurry and defeat Miguel and his forces before Elke Sommer cuts off Heather Thomas'...smile.
Will Elke Sommer and Heather Thomas engage in c catfight in the Sri Lankan mud? Will Kumar be able to wage war against Miguel and rescue Heather Thomas? Will Elke Sommer see the error of her ways and join Kumar and Heather Thomas in warring against Miguel and his trafficking organization? For some gratuitous Heather Thomas without a bra action, see "Kiss of the Cobra" (originally "Der Stein des Todes).
