On this day in horror history, director Craig R. Baxley’s sci-fi horror action flick I Come in Peace (aka Dark Angel) with Dolph Lundgren was released in 1990.
Based on a spec script Lethal Contact by Jonathan Tydor, the film was set to be released as Dark Angel, but Triumph Releasing renamed it because of two other movies entitled The Dark Angel were released in 1925 and 1935.
Lundgren’s co-stars include Brian Benben, Betsy Brantley, and Matthias Hues.
Matthias Hues performed all of his own stunts because no doubles who could match his size (6’5″). Hues names this movie as his best experience as an actor.
The film stars Lundgren as a renegade cop Jack Caine who is intent on snuffing out a dangerous gang of drug traffickers known as the “White Boys.” When the gang makes off with a cache of heroin from federal custody and destroys the building to conceal evidence of their crime, Caine investigates with straight-arrow FBI agent Arwood Smith. But bizarre new clues reveal that the Boys’ criminal enterprise extends much further than anyone had previously imagined.
