I really liked I COME IN PEACE when I saw it on VHS, probably in '91. I was 14, of course. I always enjoyed Brian Benben from DREAM ON - he's kind of a one-note dude, that note being "short king Jerry Seinfeld", though Jerry Seinfeld never played a reasonably tough cop in an action movie and was never an actual romantic lead (Benben had poop-tons of nekkid sex scenes on DREAM ON.......). And I thought Dolph was pretty legit for the limited range required of him in I COME IN PEACE, and he'd get better in later films. Dolph is okay by me. Plus the ending delivers the goods!

Question for Lester of anyone else who's seen I COME IN PEACE:
Have you also seen SPLIT SECOND (1992 or '93) starring Rutger Hauer?
Exact same movie - like - a beat-by-beat remake of I COME IN PEACE - same renegade cop played with an incongruous accent (Hauer instead of Lundgren), exact same comedy relief partner, same unnecessary hot girlfriend character tagging along illogically, exact same plot structure - it even ends in a sewer/underground! The only difference is that in I COME IN PEACE they're fighting a T-800 and in SPLIT SECOND they're fighting a xenomorph. Otherwise, carbon copy movie - even by the standards of the carbon-copy-happy late-80s/early-90s movie business.

Glad to read your "hot take".       I agree. There were a few funny moments but I was underwhelmed generally, and then the bit at the end where Ray Liotta stomps on a couple of baby bears really broke my camel's back. I seem to remember a lot of folks on here were pro-COCAINE BEAR when it came out.......

yeah it was actually quite nasty in places, oddly clashing with the goofy comedy tone... also, I don't get 'offended' by loads of stuff, but young kid actors shouting the F word around a lot isn't cool, to me.

ALPHA (2025): Young teenager Alpha gets a homemade tattoo, and her doctor mother obsesses over the possibility that she may have contacted a disease that will turn her into a statue; meanwhile, her heroin addict uncle comes to stay with the family. Julia Ducournau's followup to the amazing TITANE is well-written, well-acted, well-shot, and well-scored, but something is holding it back from greatness; I think the problem is that, this time around, the surrealistic touches detract from rather than enhance the delicate story she means to tell. 3.5/5.
