Brian Thompson played a villainous character in which 1986 American action film directed by George Cosmatos?
Cobra (1986 film) Cobra is a 1986 American action film directed by George P. Cosmatos, and written by Sylvester Stallone, who also starred in the title role. The film co-stars Reni Santoni, Brigitte Nielsen and Andrew Robinson. It is the first film where Brian Thompson plays a prominent role. The film was loosely based on the novel "Fair Game" by Paula Gosling, which was later filmed under that title in 1995. However, Stallone's screenplay was originally conceived from ideas he had during pre-production of "Beverly Hills Cop", whose screenplay he heavily revised. He had wanted to make "Beverly Hills Cop" a less comedic and more action-oriented film, which the studio rejected as being far too expensive. When he left that project, Eddie Murphy was brought in to play the lead role.
Night of the Creeps Night of the Creeps is a 1986 American science fiction horror comedy film written and directed by Fred Dekker, starring Tom Atkins, Jason Lively, Steve Marshall and Jill Whitlow. The film is an earnest attempt at a B movie and a homage to the genre. While the main plot of the film is related to zombies, the film also mixes in takes on slashers and alien invasion films. "Night of the Creeps" did not perform well at the box office, but it developed a cult following.
