I Come in Peace / Dark Angel (1990)

"I Come in Peace" (also known as "Dark Angel" in some regions), released in 1990 and directed by Craig R. Baxley, is a sci-fi action film starring Dolph Lundgren. The production of the film involved blending elements of science fiction, crime drama, and action genres. Lundgren plays a Houston cop, Jack Caine, who finds himself battling an extraterrestrial drug dealer threatening the city. The film's unique premise of an alien drug dealer using Earth as a market for a lethal substance called "white crystalline," combined with Lundgren's action star appeal, contributed to the film's distinctiveness in the crowded action movie landscape of the early 1990s.

The production team faced challenges in bringing the alien antagonist and its high-tech weaponry to life. The special effects and practical effects teams worked to create a visually engaging and convincing representation of the extraterrestrial threat. Additionally, the film's action sequences and stunts, a staple of Lundgren's films, required careful choreography and execution. "I Come in Peace" reflects the era's fascination with combining crime and science fiction genres, resulting in a unique action film that has gained a cult following for its blend of otherworldly elements and action-packed sequences.
