Dolph Lundgren has always been underrated. Yeah, he makes bad movies, but this is one of the better ones.

What on earth is going on with the film title here I dunno but I prefer 'Dark Angel' for sure, anyways this was Matthias Hues big flick for which he is most remembered for which isn't much to shout about haha.Very silly sci-fi flick about an alien drug dealer sucking endorphins out of human brains to sell galactically,

Big Dolph Lundgren tackles even bigger Matthias Hues in this enjoyable sci-fi outing from 1990.Our Dolph plays a tough cop who inadvertently becomes involved in a spot of alien trouble after a hulking interplanetary miscreant murders a group of bad guys Dolph was staking out (and high tales it with the haul of heroin
