Nemesis 4: Death Angel

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.

I have read most of the comments on this site and while I do agree with some I feel that many are not accurate or more precisely fair. While I admit the Nemesis films are made to showcase Sue Price' incredible physique it cannot be laid at her feet when the dialogue is bad the special effects second rate or the sets poorly made. That is the responsibility of Albert Pyun who both wrote and directs these films. As for those who find Sue Price unattractive due to her muscularity I would hope that they keep in mind Sue was chosen specifically because of that muscularity. And just for clarification when she decides to relax her muscles she looks no different than most professsional athletes and when wearing a dress or just a pair of jeans and a shirt is a stunningly beautiful woman. Also while her acting is not the best Sue put everything she had into every film she did and for a rank beginner considering people are still talking about her I would say she made quite an impression. If people think back Chuck Norris' first films were almost embarrassing to watch as he was such a terrible actor. But as we all know he got better and has become quite at home in front of the camera. Sue Price worked extremely hard for a film that in my opinion was beneath her talents, but in a more ambitious film with a better budget I think she would do very well. As for many who call her "Steroid Sue" all I can say is Steroids or not, muscles or not, she is both drop-dead gorgeous and talented and when given a good script and motivation she is a good actor who deserves a chance to showcase her ability. I realize I sound prejudiced and I accept that proudly. I suffer from a chronic illness that has left me barely able to walk yet Sue Price went out of her way to send me photos of herself and a letter of encouragement that I felt was extraordinarily kind. So give her a break and take the Nemesis movies for what they are. Training for an upcoming star. Sue put her heart and soul into her work and I have no doubt if given the chance she can deliver a topnotch performance well worth seeing. Remember she didn't write them nor produce them all she did was try to the best she could with what she had. So please, give her a chance to show you what she's got. Bob Ingle

Nemesis 4 was simply made to showcase Sue Price's beautiful naked body. The film succeeds marvelously, showcasing her nude body as much as possible. This film also succeeds in showing how beautiful female bodybuilders are. My only question was why didn't they do this in the previous two sequels with our dear Sue. If you are a Sue Price as I am, you'll love this movie.

Easily the most interesting of Pyun's Nemesis movies, Nemesis 4 at least tries to be a little different from all the other android killer movies which have gone straight to video since the success of 'The Terminator'. The film is too short & too much talking takes place, but when the action comes it's worth the wait, especially if you're a fan of female muscle. The star, pro bodybuilder Sue price spends the bulk of the film naked as she dispatches her android enemies,usually by crushing them between her impressive thighs. Maybe this is due to in the two previous movies, she didn't seem to be in the best physical shape,had to wear unflattering costumes & her hair in awful plaits which would have made even the most glamorous woman look like a guy. I feel the reviewer who commented that a man must have been used for some of Price's scenes is being extremely disrespectful to an athlete who has trained hard for years to gain the kind of muscularity most men would envy, while staying feminine (do men have breasts where this person lives?). The acting isn't very good, but it's rare you see good acting anywhere these days. In all the film looks like it was some kind of muscle showcase for Price & perhaps there was enough footage to turn it into another installment. This was obviously produced on a tiny budget (there are only two locations), but despite this, the camera work is highly professional with some stunning shots of Sue Price. It's no classic by any means, but it's enjoyably unusual & a must for female muscle fans.
