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.
Lamas also starred in two sequels to Snake Eater: Snake Eater II: The Drug Buster (1991), which entered production before the first film was released, and Snake Eater III: His Law (1992).
