This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

"Operation Cobra" brings together several people long associated with cinematic schlock. Ashok Amritraj and Andrew Stevens were producers, Roger Corman was the executive producer, and Fred Olen Ray was the director! Needless to say, the budget is low, though since the movie was shot in India - which is a pretty cheap place to shoot a movie - the cheapness is less evident than usual. And the Indian locations do give the movie an exotic feel at times. Unfortunately, there's not much else positive I can say about this movie. The story is confusing at times, with information and key scenes seemingly missing at times. And the martial arts sequences are done in the typically boring American fashion - someone does a move, cut to another angle, another move is made, cut to another angle etc. But the movie's biggest flaw is that it's more often than not dull to watch. Even if you see this movie for free, chances are you'll feel ripped off at the end.

After watching this movie, I looked at some other works of Fred Olen Ray's on IMDb. This is one of his better ones - but that's not saying very much. This is an action movie, deficient in many respects. The acting is poor. There are three unnecessary (and not particularly erotic) sex scenes chucked in - just to pad the movie out, perhaps. Second-rate action meets third-rate martial arts - Don 'The Dragon' Wilson has a nerve calling himself that. The plot, such as it is, doesn't make much sense, with several huge coincidences. There are funny things too, like the inept henchmen, and when (not a spoiler) a Western woman wears a black wig and a sari to look Indian (she doesn't).By all means see it, if you really have nothing else to do.

The fourth of nine films bearing the title INFERNO, most of which are straight-to-video or "Z" grade flopperoos.Before watching this alleged martial-arts but in reality actionless no-brainer, you gotta ask yourself, what DOES director Fred Olen Ray have in common with compatriots Bill Carson, Sam Newfield, Roger Collins, Freddie Valentine, Nick Medina and the incomparable Ed Raymond? Give up? well you will be underwhelmed to discover that they are ALL the same person! Not a promising start! But there again these ARE the people responsible for the timeless classics DINOSAUR GIRLS, EVIL TOONS, THE BRAIN LEECHES and who can forget BAD GIRLS FOR MARS? So armed with this knowledge (and I was deprived of this vital information on my first viewing) you can sit back and watch Olen-Ray's INFERNO. Don "The Dragon" Wilson "stars" (I use the term loosely) as Connors - our chop-sockey hero who seems more adept with guns and wigs than anything else. Actors appear in different roles, none of which matter, they are so stupefyingly amateurish.Why the hell am I reviewing this trash?

It kind of had different actors wearing different wigs playing different parts through out the movie, it was quite distracting to watch, I would not recomend this movie to anyone really as most of the acting was very shoddy and the main action seemed to consist of the main actor pulling a gun (from only knows where) and letting off several shots then somehow managing to take home several women in one night. st33z - -
