RED SCORPION (1988)

JOSEPH ZITO

Plot

A Russian KGB agent is sent to Africa to kill an anti-Communist black revolutionary. However, he has a change of heart when he sees how the Russians and their Cuban allies are killing and repressing the locals, so he switches sides and helps the rebels. Typical fare from 1980s Hollywood, terrified of the Red Threat jumping on every chance they had to show the world what a corrupt bunch of demonic killers they are. Satisyingly high body count mind.
