Review of Darkman III: Die Darkman Die (1996) by Nathan B — 29 Sep 2007

Another good sequel. Vosloo gets screwed out of top billing once more by the man himself, Jeff Fahey. I could've sworn they used some footage from Darkman II in this. If so, it just adds to that direct to video feel that I love.

So Darkman perfects his skin but only synthesizes a small amount because he's screwed over by Edward Furlong's mom from Pet Sematary 2. Fahey has his villain voice on for the entire film & spouts off some funny one liners.

..& is a great piano player. When he's hopped up on the Darkman strength formula, he adds a fun little maniacialness to his plate. And the title is a nice little nod to some of the old monster movies.

Also hearing the Back to the Future theme was a plus. The subplot of Darkman posing as Jeff Fahey was a glimpse into what he could've been if Durant & his boys didn't cause the explosion in the first flick.

Darkman saves the day once more & could save his face but uses the skin to help Jeff Fahey's daughter, who got a faceful of natural gas from a steaming pipe. What a selfless hero. Darkman's ending monologue was shorter than the second one but it was still cool.

Vosloo has an awesome voice. Good stuff.
