Dark Angel / I Come In Peace (1990) - Comedic Movie Recap

[@eduardodiaz9942]

I love the fact that the aliens' official names in the credits are just "good alien" and "bad alien".

[@Cwibacca]

"You go in pieces, ass hole." Classic Dolph-liner. Epic video as always, I'm already looking forward to the next one.

[@unclebacon6731]

Loved this movie when I was a kid, anytime I heard anyone say "I come in peace" I would think and chuckle to myself "you go in pieces" 🤣

[@owie4070]

That's a great one liner 😁

[@gafortheloveofgamenfilm1159]

Yep snap

[@popo-yq5je]

Haahah

[@Ender7j]

I still do this :)

[@orinanime]

same. I still do.

13:13 😂😂 Reminds of somewhere I read "that could be his backup appendix"

[@antoniolomeli7512]

I saw this on it's opening weekend at my local theater as part of a Double Feature with Predator 2. One of my most memorable days as a kid! love this movie!!!! Same director of Stone Cold!!!

[@mph8200]

What a wickedgood double bill that is. I'd pitch up at the pictures tonite to watch those two back to back. Well done

[@Dan-di9jd]

Ah okay I do see some of the similarities in styles and work.

[@chinomnsochinke238]

This was one of my best movies growing up. Knew it as "Dark angel". Those flying discs. Tried it with all the CDs I could find. 😁 Please do a "Red scorpion" review soon!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@RedEyeReviews]

Red Scorpion is amazing. I'll for sure do it soon

[@penquin2000]

so that's where that scene is from

[@wisconsinlonnie4143]

I did too.

[@robwalsh9843]

I thought Matthias Hues was pretty scary looking. Like Dolph he came from a martial arts background and he was pretty good at handling physical movement and action. I could see him doing a good job of playing a Predator. Speaking of which, this movie came out shortly before Predator 2 and both involve alien hunters in big cities with wrist and disc weapons, hmmm

[@beastlyidiots9232]

Actually, Dolph is really good in this movie. His chemistry with Brian Benben is good too. And...that's not just any guy in the opening scene...that's Cliff Potts from such excellent sci-f classics as Silent Running and Forbidden World (Mutant). This is classic 90's SciFi.

[@napoleonwilson6499]

Thank u for mentioning Benben,I think he doesn't get enough luv. Talented guy,had a few good leads and is great in this because,yes,they have great chemistry

[@akmil02]

Dolph Lungren has an IQ of 160, and a degree from MIT

[@anadin0612]

I remember seeing this at the cinema. I truly enjoyed it. Quite original too.

[@owie4070]

Yup. I really enjoyed this one.

[@Johny40Se7en]

I second that, minus the seeing it in cinema. I was barely "squeezed out" by 1990 😅😆😝

[@kino9356]

The kick was better than all the Steven Seagal movies combined.

[@nebfreely317]

Ya, more Dolph please! I'm loving your reviews Redeye!

[@RedEyeReviews]

Absolutely! I'm glad you like them

[@IrishScribbler]

I wish this was released on DVD. It was an awesome movie, Dolph at his best.

[@mortenhyvejle]

Hahaha I remember this movie...and we loved it back then 😂...well, who doesn't love Dolph the man himself.

[@Mortiis558]

How did I miss this movie as a kid?? This looks like exactly the movie I would seek out at Blockbuster! Gonna have to find me a copy and watch it now, this looks genuinely entertaining.

[@anthonybolden19]

Great movie 🎬 made in my HomeTown of Houston TX

[@Mortiis558]

@@anthonybolden19 One good thing about Houston! (from a DFW resident)

[@Dan-di9jd]

I remember seeing it at the moovies rental place near my house. I never really liked the cover and thought it looked too serious.

[@pvillarreal8512]

This was a fav of mine when i was a kid, especially the “and your going in pieces asshole” line

[@aikisteven0616]

Yay - Dolph Lundgren, the biggest, baddest, butt-kickingest chemical engineer the world has ever seen! Loved the review, can't wait for more!!

"They sorta look like discount versions of...each other." Comedic gold right there. Your reviews are the best!!

[@RedEyeReviews]

I'm glad you enjoyed it

[@chrisblake2629]

"A lot of standard looking people in this movie" might be the funniest movie commentary I've heard

[@owie4070]

RedEye thank you for doing this one. Keep up the good work bro.

[@RedEyeReviews]

Thank you friend!

[@das81]

Craig R. Baxley... What an underrated director. You must do his other mayor theatrical release: Action Jackson... The one and only with Carl Weathers.

Childhood fave right here, watched so many times the movies imprinted into my brain. Good review my guy.

[@TheEyez187]

I misread the comment at first glance, I read it as 'implanted into my brain'; if the guy can suck things out of your head, putting things in should be a no-brainer! >XD I know we're both biased, but I genuinely believe the 80's was the best time to grow up! A golden era for films!

[@capedhamster]

@@TheEyez187 there is no doubt in my mind that the 80's was the best time

[@talesfromthehoodtv503]

I remember renting this so much as a kid in the 90s and it was always on tv back in the day, definitely one of my favorites,also fun fact Brain ben ben who plays dolphs partner was in a classic HBO Show called Dream on,its really funny, great review

[@davidfausel9029]

Nice! I love that you started with this one - special place in my heart for this movie, as I love it. Had a VHS copy and some buddies and I used to watch it at college all the time.

[@RedEyeReviews]

Oh that's awesome! Great memory

[@TheEyez187]

13:08 - Shit, the good cop's packing a Vladof Infinity pistol!! :D 16:58 - A little disappointed, no MK Scorpion "Get over here" quote!! 17:43 - Bennett, let off some steam

[@OffTheHizzle]

I like that 90's action blockbuster font in the opening credits! Also, the movie is quite brutal. Great Recap!

[@akmil02]

That's a spinning hook kick!

[@chrisandrew7577]

The alien looks like Raiden, but he uses Scorpion's move... Finish Him! With explosions!

[@wimvanderstraeten6521]

The bad alien is played by Matthias Hues who was also in Karate Tiger 2 (a movie you should definitely put on your list). BTW: I guess you wanted to say "Siberian Express".

[@antoniolomeli7512]

And Mission of Justice, another classic!!!

[@mattd8700]

I worked at Rogers Video in the early to mid 90s,I saw a lot of his movies, TC 2000 was my favorite at the time.

[@Johny40Se7en]

14:22 Oh, come on, he's in pain, give him a break 😅 "Cottage cheese and marshmallow goo is falling out" and "Intergalactic essential oils salesman" oh my goodness! 🤭😆🤣 I still love this film. Sure it's cheesy as hell sometimes, but it's unapologetically too, which is quite refreshing. Reminds me a bit of The Hidden, from the late 80's, and another idea for a film you can feature. Plenty of funny moments in it too 👍

[@flashthompson1085]

Thank you. The best thing I’ve seen today. I love Dolph. Really looking forward to what you do with this guy.

[@Vaporvice84]

My favorite joke in the movie is when Dolph gives his partner (who's at least a head shorter than him) one of his jackets and when the guy says "It fits!!" Dolph says "Yeah, it was gift when I was 12" lol. Also, glad to see Mr. Kinney was able to find work after being "fired" from OCP.

[@Tchelitchew.]

It's weird seeing you review an actual good movie! This one is really fun. It's a fixture on my Christmas movies playlist.

[@umbrellacorp.]

You forgot The Punisher with Dolph Lundgren 1989.😎👍💯 I also have 2 copies of the same book. It's incase I want to read it more than once. It's a must. 😂

[@BatCaveOz]

Dolph Lundgren is Swedish, not Serbian. Also - The spinning kick definitely wasn't a roundhouse kick.

[@Nada11488]

I can’t speak for RedEye, but I think he mistook one of Drago’s nicknames which is listed as “The Siberian Express”.

[@noneya3635]

Was just telling my daughter who is a big Twin Peaks fan now, about Hidden since she's all ga ga over Kyle. Yeah that was good 80's/90's sci cheese.

Duuuude, YES!! I just rewatched this and was ranting at the site afterwards about how it NEEDS a reboot. Dolph could still do it! Thanks, RedEye!

[@RedEyeReviews]

I would love a reboot

Matthias Hues, who plays the bad alien, was in an erotic-martial-arts-thriller called ‘Black Belt’ starring Don ‘The Dragon’ Wilson, of ‘The Magic Kid’ fame. It’s wild!

I love Big Swede, seen all movies with him :) But you could make a nice intro video for Matthias Hues too, he's a quite fun action guy too y'know? He was great in "Black Belt" with Don Wilson among other films or in "No Retreat, No Surrender 2" with Loren Avedson and Cynthia Rothrock. BTW I've watched an interview a very long time ago where Dolph (or Hues, but I think it was Dolph) said that it was really Hues who was jumping on exploding cars and doing that stuff was - unsuprisingly - really dangerous.

You can never clean-up alien from the back seat. When Det. Dolph kills Larry's boss he knows his boss, if he could talk, would tell Larry he's out of control and thinks the rules don't apply to him. The dead boss would then ask for his badge (at least for the duration of the case), so Larry's being polite giving it to his corpse.
