Snake Eater is a 1989 action/adventure film starring Lorenzo Lamas. It was directed by George Erschbamer and written by Michael Paseornek and John Dunning. Snake Eater was actor Lorenzo Lamas's first action film.
Plot
Jack "Soldier" Kelly (Lorenzo Lamas), a police officer who served in the Marine Special Forces "Snake Eaters" team in Vietnam. Kelly uses the talents that he learned from the Boss to hunt down the criminals who killed his parents and kidnapped his sister.
The criminals covered their crime, using a bear costume "The Bear". This fooled authorities for their various murders and arson. They also attempted to rape women over the course of many days of captivity, but always failed.
