Nemesis 4: Death Angel

Oh boy what a franchise Cyborg/Nemesis has been, quite frankly it's been arduous.

Nemesis 4: Death Angel otherwise known as Cry of Angels is the staggering 9th movie in the franchise and they really don't get any better.

Former bodybuilder Sue Price returns yet again as Alex in another messy convoluted tale in a post apocalyptic world after the war between humans and cyborgs ended.

Clearly in this world clothes are scarce as Ms.Price spends a good quarter of the film nude and that will likely appeal to some more than others. What I mean by that is Sue Price is certainly an acquired taste.

That is the one thing that makes Death Angel stand out from all the other movies in the franchise. Nudity/sex hasn't been a thing up until now and seems like an odd decision for the creators to make. It didn't do the movie any favors but at least it worked as filler for a film with a wafer thin story line.

Will appeal to fans of the franchise, but few else. At least after this it was over two decades before they made another addition to the series!

The Good:

Shakes things up a tad

Same lead again

The Bad:

Sex/nudity will have the opposite effect on many

Almost no plot

Without much connection to the previous 3 parts, „Nemesis 4" takes Alex (Sue Price) to Eastern Europe, many years later. In a deserted, rotting town that seems to be inhabited only by a handful of killers, she works as a killer herself. Cyborgs and criminals are her victims, but once she eliminated the wrong guy, a high price is put on her head. She cannot trust her boss Bernardo (Andrew Divoff) anymore while she is followed by a mysterious lady in black who she believes to be an angel of death. From part 1, a solid action movie, the „Nemesis" tetralogy went a long way to part 4 which is a pseudo-mystical oddity. Andrew Divoff only appears against a black studio background, while Sue Price walks around naked on high heels most of the time for no reason. From her natural self-defense in part 2, she now seems to enjoy killings the more bizarre, the better. To the audience, she probably seemed a lot more sympathetic in her two previous movies. In the end, „Nemesis 4" was an unnecessary sequel, it hasn't got the same spirit anymore. If you want to watch an experimental, but violent flick, try some of Lucio Fulci's works instead. Running time of the longest available version is exactly 76:29 minutes PAL, by the way (which equals more than 79 minutes NTSC). Most versions on the market are heavily cut due to sex and violence issues. I watched the 4 Nemesis movies (which I watched first in the 1990s) again now in chronological order for my reviews and voted 7/7/5/5.

The first 3 Nemesis films had at least some action. Sue Price has nothing to do, but talk, if the very soft speaking voice is hers or dubbed. Watch this film only if you care to see Sue Price's highly muscled body, including extensive breast implants, in the nude. The new material runs just 65 minutes with just a few sets (indoor room, outside set, brief run down a hallway). I kept hoping that Sue Price would be given something to do, besides hold a weapon. We come to expect that hard body action figures actually get to use their body to fight evil. I guess that it is hard to find believable opponents for the 115 pound, 5 foot, 1 inch, Sue Price to engage in hand to hand combat. Due to the nudity, this film can't be released to general TV. I have to assume that the scenes were shot with and without nudity. Probably added a half day to the shooting schedule and increased the budget by $10,000 (perhaps a 20% increase). This film is really bad. I give it a "1" because it was well lighted and Sue Price is nice, with or without muscles & implants. Shame on the company that released this half film. For low budget action, stay with USA-TV, Pacific Blue, WWF wrestling, etc.

"Nemesis 3" featured so much recycled footage from "Part 2" that the story didn't seem to progress at all, and the result was an essentially pointless and useless movie. So Albert Pyun attempted here to drive the series to a different direction entirely. Problem is that by now few viewers still had the patience to follow his "vision", that had strayed so far from the original (and, by comparison, very entertaining) "Nemesis". Anyway, when a movie includes flashbacks to earlier films and lengthy closing credits that replay many of the "best" scenes we just saw and STILL runs only about 77 minutes, you know something's wrong.

Sue Price's rippling muscles are the sole point of interest in this ultra-cheesy, badly acted production. (*1/2)

In this truly un-watchable movie (Sue Price) pays Alex. She is out to take revenge on humanoids and normally kills them by wrapping her thighs around their necks. Some interesting effects but not worth the time or the money to watch. On a scale of 1-10 I'd give it a 1. The production was really poor, the acting,if thats what you want to call it, was awful. The only reason I can figure out why this film was made was to show off Sue Prices' body. If you like watching women who look like guys, this maybe for you. Contains lots of nudity..big deal!
