I Come in Peace (1990) (released and known worldwide as Dark Angel) is a science fiction action thriller film about a rule-breaking vice cop who becomes involved in the investigation of a number of mysterious drug-related murders on the streets of Houston, Texas. The film was directed by Craig R Baxley, and stars Dolph Lundgren, Matthias Hues, Brian Benben, Betsy Brantley, and David Aykroyd. Future ESPN college basketball analyst Jay Bilas has a small role as an alien cop.Jack Caine (Lundgren) is a Houston cop who is determined to wipe out the White Boys, a gang of white-collar drug dealers who killed his partner while Caine was waylaid stopping a convenience store robbery. Little does he know that there is a new drug dealer in town (Matthias Hues), one who preys on heroin addicts in order to get his own drug of trade - made from the endorphins extracted from heroin users. But this guy's home turf isn't in Houston. It isn't even on planet Earth... | |

No Biochemical Barriers | |
| I Come in Peace / int_17058a90 | comment |
No Biochemical Barriers: Human endorphins work on alien brain chemistry. Unless there's a Placebo Effect involved... Zigzagged: There are many animals just on Earth with excretions, etc...that humans use for various effects. Given that these aliens breath oxygen and are humanoid, there's no telling how much processing would be required for an effect. | |

Plot Armor | |
| I Come in Peace / int_2a44899 | comment |
Plot Armor: The Alien that kills cops and gangsters in droves naturally becomes far less efficient when trying to kill the protagonists, constantly missing with his devastating explosive-gun and even his homing disc attack (when he actually uses it on them.) The Alien also only dies when his runs out; he wears armor that lets him shrug off shotgun blasts, explosions, and shots from it's species own powerful gun, but gets fatally impaled by a pipe. | |

Cool Car: The White Boys drive around in top-of-the-line roadsters like Lamborhinis and Porsches that they purchased with their drug money. Instead of making them cool, it only provides more fuel to the point that the White Boys are just braggarts when they swerve out of the way in a Game of Chicken with Jack Caine to prevent damage to their cars and later Jack is able to march right into their headquarters by distracting the members assigned to guard the entrance by making the car alarms sound. | |

Offscreen Karma | |
| I Come in Peace / int_b1ff5bba | comment |
Offscreen Karma: The last few lines of the movie are Jack making plans to go to Brazil to have a face-to-face encounter with Victor Manning (the escaped leader of the White Boys Gang) and administer proper revenge for his dead partner. After what he just went through, it'll be practically a vacation. | |

Cool Guns | |
| I Come in Peace / int_bb040b01 | comment |
Cool Guns: The "alien guns" are actually Calico M-950s with an additional LED toggle display on the side (apparently showcasing various power levels-the higher one good at making Stuff Blowing Up and turning people into Ludicrous Gibs). | |

Yuppie: The White Boys are a gang of yuppie drug dealers, presumably to have something different from the stock villains from The Mafia, The Triads and the Tongs and The Cartel. | |

| I Come in Peace / int_c67af1b0 | comment |
Big Bad Wannabe: The White Boys Gang talk big and fire guns a lot, but the plot makes clear again and again that they are most definitely not the badass criminal outfit they consider themselves to be, culminating with them being completely exterminated by the evil alien in the third act. | |

Outside-Context Problem | |
| I Come in Peace / int_cc7fae30 | comment |
Outside-Context Problem: The alien drug dealer arrives in the middle of a botched sting operation to kill the human gangsters. Later, he kills more of them when they arrive to kill protagonist Jack Caine. For a good part of the film the alien is in the periphery of Jack's Roaring Rampage of Revenge against the White Boys and both sides think it's some insane vigilante or Ruthless Foreign Gangsters striking from the shadows. | |

Hyper-Destructive Bouncing Ball: The alien uses a sawblade-like disk zips and bounces around while homing in on the "electrical charge" in human beings, until it attracts itself to a stronger magnetic field. | |

Did I Mention It's Christmas? | |
| I Come in Peace / int_d0c30f35 | comment |
Did I Mention It's Christmas?: Christmas in Houston, Texas... prevented from being a full-blown example of An Ass-Kicking Christmas because the characters almost don't talk about it (except for a couple of sarcastic lines) and aside from the occasional background decoration it could have been set at any time of the year. | |

Hate Sink | |
| I Come in Peace / int_e5fd8bc2 | comment |
Hate Sink: Victor Manning is the leader of the White Boys, a gang of drug dealers who hide their crimes behind kitschy attempts at glamour. Before the start of the film, Manning killed Jack Caine's partner when he tried to bring him down, a fact he regularly taunts Caine with. Manning opens the story by bombing an FBI office to steal some drugs they seized, killing several officers in the process. Despite Caine's attempts to track him down, Manning flees to another country, last seen in a postcard he sent his nemesis. | |

Plot-Irrelevant Villain | |
| I Come in Peace / int_f010eba7 | comment |
Plot-Irrelevant Villain: Victor Manning is a drug kingpin who only exists to kill off Caine's original partner, then disappears from the narrative entirely (he skips the country to enjoy his freedom in Brazil, sending a postcard to Caine just to be a dick) as Caine suddenly has to deal with an alien drug kingpin who starts rampaging through town. Caine doesn't even have time to avenge his partner (though the ending implies that he's heading off to Brazil to do so). | |
