I don't watch TV or movies, all of this is from years ago. But all of the movies people said are so good were not always good for me. Back when I did watch TV they had a star rating in the TV guide, and I purposely looked for ones with less stars. If I found one with a no star rating I would watch it. Five stars, I had no interest in it.
So back then I had cable, and I had everything. Most of these were on at four in the morning or something :
Innocent Blood
A female vampire is apparently also a high class hooker or something like that. Something goes wrong and this crime boss pisses her off so she tears into his neck. She made a mistake though and did not make sure he was dead. He woke up in the morgue and had a pretty good crime spreee going.
She hooks up with a detective who seems to quite enamoured with her. She had explained herself to him, how she was eight to ten times as strongas him and all that, but he still wanted sex. She obliged. She was handcuffed behind the back and broke them like they were made out of silly putty.
This guy who she let live is now a vampire as well, and with his physical superiority is having a great time now. He also bit a bunch of his "business associates" and now there is a problem. She and the cop go on to quell this group, basically being the heroes of the movie.
Hardware
A post nuclear holocaustic work, in which a female artist who actually welds metal sculpture out of scrap is brought pieces of an automaton designed specifically to kill humans. The automaton is called the Mark 13, and has the ability to repair itself. It seems she had too many of it's parts in the same room and it proceeded to do so. Once operational it went on with it's task, which was to kill humans.
Mark 13 had some Biblical reference which I refuse to look up. The piece started with the sound of a radio DJ promoting sterilization, to make a clean break with procreation. In the end, after this thing met with defeat, although it killed her boyfriend, they had the same guy announcing that there are some factory jobs, because production of the Mark 13 has been resumed.
I Come In Peace
This one had Dolf in it. An alien comes to Earth. He finds the major heroin dealers and steals their stashes. He has a weapon that looks like a CD but it cuts like a razor. He throws it and it spins, and can decapitate plenty of people in a room.
An alien cop follows him here, but the criminal kills him, As he is dying he finds his way to the back seat of a car, a cop's car, not a cop car, a cop's car. As he bleeds all over the place he tells the cop that is this ________ isn't stopped, more will come.
What the alien criminal was doing was to inject people with an overdose of heroin and then extract the hormone it produced in the human brain. This was a highly sought after substance, and was illegal in their society. The alien cop told the human cop YOU MUST STOP HIM.
As usual the feds got involved and people got turned on. The plot makes it clear that the author is not too fond of the government. The old "Break a few eggs if you want to make an omelet" comes out. Eventually the alien is defeated despite his superior strength and weaponry. But he had always said "I comein piece" before he killed someone, and said it when he got impaled and was going to die, and the cop said "And you go in pieces".
Harlem Nights
This one had almost all the big name Black people in it, Pearl, Redd, Arsenio, the one who burned his face up, all of them damn near. In the beginning Sugar Ray's was about a basement. Richard Pryor played Ray, and I think one of Eddie Murphy's kids played him as a kid it the beginning of the movie. In that scene they were shooting craps and a pretty big guy is pissed off because he is losing. He decides to rob the place, after all they won't call the cops.
Ray was the dealer, and there was a little shelf with a gun. When he reached for it, the kid had taken it. As Ray was about to meet his demise by knife, the kid shot the guy, right between the eyes, about an inch over.
Later the place grew, it was like being in Vegas, but it was in Harlem. Eddie Murphy was "Quick", and he became Ray's right hand Man. As the plot moves along, the business grows and they are contacted by the local chapter of the "mafia". Ray concocts a plan.
They personally know a bigtime boxer and fight is on soon. They know he is going to win, almost for sure, but their enemies are connected to the bookies. So they bet big against him. When they get wind of this they figure the guy was going to take a fall, but he slaughtered his opponent.
But what they did was to give that impression and cause others to bet against their Man also, figuring he would take a fall. It was simple, just rob the bookies. It doesn't matter who's money it is supposed to be, it is our's now.
