Its amazing how much more intelligent Dolph is in these interviews than his characters have come across on the screen over the years. Baxley – Dolph, the director and actor Brian Benben go through the production of the film from start to finish. A Look Back At “Dark Angel”: Featurette With Dolph Lundgren And Director Craig R.They appear with 1080p MPEG-4 video and Dolby Digital 2.0 audio. The extras appear light, but through the interviews, provide plenty of content. Both tracks result in a win-win scenario with whichever you pick.įor those of you who prefer the title I Come In Peace, like usual, Scream Factory provides a reverse cover with the original poster/VHS art for the US release. This track is quite impressive as it gives more “oompf” than one would expect. Scream Factory also provides a 2.0 DTS-HD MA track for those wanting the original theatrical experience. The “I come in peace” line is quite striking and chilling in the track every time its said. ![]() The explosions and gun fire are nice and loud. Once set though, this thing is crisp and clear. The volume on it is a little low, so you’ll have to turn it up a little bit more than your normal levels. Clothing textures and patterns are distinct and well detailed.ĭolph Lundgren performs through a 5.1 DTS-HD MA track. You can make out about every noticeable amount of dirt, smudges and whatnot on his windows and auto body. Also, check out agent Smith’s care at night. You can see the wetness, light reflection and surface of the city roads perfectly. There are a lot of dark alley type scenes, but it does a good work with them as they are lit pretty well. There’s a perfect amount of grain helping add to the mood of the film. And did I mention a lot of fun?ĭark Angel says “I Come in 1080p MPEG-4” encode. There’s a lot here to love, whether you are an action fan, sci-fi fan or horror nut. The film also features some cool imaginative sci fi design and plot devices. Its got some wonderful action sequences to keep you enthralled. The gore effects also still work quite well.ĭark Angel is a super fun action/sci fi B-movie with some horror elements to it. Action that has real buildings and cars crashing and blowing up. Its refreshing to see action that is well framed and shot. All the effects work still holds up quite well. This moody looking film features a nice detective/chase story that isn’t overly complicated and is quite fun to see come to fruition. I think aside from the title, the cuts of the film are identical. The print they used of the film does display it as I Come In Peace for you US version purists. The film is known in the US as I Come In Peace, but its real title is Dark Angel. Dolph gives his usual laughable but entertaining performance, but he does nail some of his one-liners perfectly (ESPECIALLY his last one). In its defense, with each kill, they show us more and more of what Talec is doing to the victims. The film is pretty simple and a little repetitive. The lighting, the scummy areas of the city and that sweet sweet synth score. It gave me the vibe that the first Highlander and Terminator movies had. I’m gonna let the cat out of the bag early. Alien cop Azeck is hot on his trail, telling Caine and Smith that if he’s not stopped, others will begin to show, endangering more and more lives of the Earth’s population. Talec has come to this planet, shooting up civilians with heroin stolen from the White Boys and extracting a brain endorphin used as a drug on his home planet. Larry and Caine not only must deal with drug pushers on this planet but an extraterrestrial one as well. After his partner is murdered along with a bunch of White Boys, Caine is forced to team with FBI agent Arwood “Larry” Smith. Jack Caine, a Houston cop, is trying to bring down white collar drug dealers known as the “White Boys”. I don’t remember anything from it, be it box art at the video store or catching a few minutes on TV. Oddly, I never knew of this movie’s existence until now. And, boy, Scream Factory’s release has me itching to dig further into the Lundgren back catalog with this release. So, coming into Dark Angel (known in the US as I Come In Peace), I am quite the noob. The only adventures I went on with Dolph were Masters Of The Universe (not even he could stop my boyhood He-Man fandom) and Universal Soldier. I never watched his ‘solo’ movies due to my childhood bias as he was the bad guy from Rocky IV and killed Apollo Creed. Even if I wasn’t big on him then, looking back there’s some sort of nostalgia with him though. I can’t say growing up that I was a Dolph Lundgren fan.
