Sci-fi movie about alien investigation

Question

I'm searching for a movie that I saw as a child. The movie is about an investigation for an alien killer. The main character was a male detective who tried to understand what is happening. There was some exotic weapons, what I remember is a razor gun that used by the aliens. The gun shot rotating razor discs that never stopped rotating (and bouncing). The detective found a projectile trapped by a speaker's magnet. The guns used some white fluid in small transparent containers as ammunition.

There is a huge possibility that my memories are not perfect, but the key to find the movie is that razor gun.

This is "Dark Angel" from 1990.

The blurb mentions that it's basically a police procedural but with aliens.

The other alien that has landed on Earth is a lawman and was sent to
  track the drug dealer. He will need Lundgren's and Benben's help to
  catch him. Throw in the fact that the alien drug dealer takes on drug
  dealers on Earth and you have non stop action.

This review mentions a strange alien CD-like projectile caught on a speaker magnet

This is one of the scariest and funniest movies Dolph Lundgren ever
  did. I enjoy it immensely and I'm disappointed to see it so expensive
  and hard to get. I hope a Blu-ray version comes out as this movie did
  not get the exposure it should have during it's release Christmas of
  1990. I am kind of surprised so few have heard of this SciFi with aliens coming to Earth. Police detectives Lundgren and Benben try to
  figure out what exactly they are doing after some drug dealers and
  civilians are murdered. At a drug dealers they find several dead
  bodies and a unusual sharp metal CD stuck to a speaker magnet. The guy
  they take it to for analysis at the university looks like he has been
  drinking Jolt and taking amphetamines. The whole movie has a mix of
  good SciFi drama and comedy. I had never seen Lundgren in a comedy
  before and this was a nice change of pace. It reminds me of how
  "Twins" made a difference in Arnold Scwharzenegger's career. Great
  quality DVD with plenty of replayability. If you enjoyed this, catch
  Split Second.

I think that the other answer is wrong. I think that an old Mark Hamill movie called "the Guyver" had a spinning blade. Or it might have been in "Krull," I can't really remember. Best bet is to watch all three movies and report back with your findings. To be honest I'm sure they're all friggin' terrible.
