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.
Curse of the Faceless Man Curse of the Faceless Man is an independently made 1958 low-budget black-and-white horror film, produced by Robert E. Kent, directed by Edward L. Cahn, that stars Richard Anderson, Elaine Edwards, Adele Mara and Luis van Rooten. The storyline concerns a Roman gladiator, buried alive in Pompeii during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, who returns to life in modern times to find the reincarnation of the woman he loves. The film was theatrically released in August 1958 in the US by United Artists on a double bill with "It! The Terror from Beyond Space".
