Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe video game which is central to the movie had already been in development as production of the film began (the game then named "Agent X"); when Atari was consulted to provide a game as an element of the movie, they tweaked "Agent X" and renamed it Cloak & Dagger (1983). Dabney Coleman's character was then renamed "Agent X" in the movie. The game saw limited arcade release.
- GoofsWhen Jack Flack tells Davey to switch the games, he throws him a factory sealed game-box. Yet at the exchange scene when Rice picks it up and looks at it, the game has a sticker on the back indicating the name of store Davey got it from. Considering it was factory sealed that sticker shouldn't have been there.

Featured review
A good 4K transfer from Vinegar Syndrome
Here's The 4K Lowedown on the 4K transfer of "Cloak & Dagger" (PG - 1984 - 4K)
Genre: Action/Adventure
4K: 8.6 HDR=8 Audio=8 Bass=8 Bright=9 Speech=10
This was the much anticipated Vinegar Syndrome buy that I wanted most and it did not disappoint...for nostalgia alone and the box design it was worth the price I paid. The picture was grainy and that was ok...what sets it apart is the diologue completely overshadows the soundtrack. My 14 year old self will be sure to thank me everytime I put it in my player.
Movie Score: 7.5 Cast=7 Acting=8 Plot=10 Ending=9 Story=7 Violent=7 Pace=6 F/X=8 Mystery=7 Stunts=6.
