As much as id like to see that,it would take away from seeing it go down w arnold at the end.

Probably why they cut it(if it did exist).

I wouldnt mind seeing it in deleted scenes

 

[Otto!]

I remember when this came out, couldn’t wait for it to come out on VHS so that i could buy it and rewatch it a bunch of times. Still one of my all time favourites to this day.

This movie is so manly it made me cry.

The only movie allowed to make you cry and not get your man card pulled.

I think that scene is arguably THE classic example of leaving something to the audiences imagination being far more effective than showing it, especially as were being setup to root for Arnies character.

Right. The movie is literally perfect in every way as it is.

That point as well is arguably the absolute peak of the tension that's built up over the previous hour.

Tremendous

Tbf it went down how I imagined it, I'm cool with them leaving it for the imagination.

You are SUPPOSED to cry in Rocky 3 and Terminator 2 if you want to keep your man card.

Cos im an American,and a man,no other reason. For some reason i paid more attention to the plot then i usually do.

So Dillon doin some recon shit past the border where he aint supposed to be doin shit. His CIA dudes 'chopper gets shot down by the guerillas,and they take the men hostage.

Dillon sends a special forces group of 6 men in to get them,but they all get wasted by the Predator.

Dillon sends Arnolds team in with a cooked up story. They find three of the corpses of the special forces group skinned and hanging from trees.

Arnold asks what about the rest,and Billy says "Theres no signs. They never left here. Hell,its like they just fuckin disappeared"

I never gave much thought to that before,but i started thinkin,well wtf happened to those guys,and it would seem that the Predator doesnt skin guys who actually take the fight to him in some kinda way. In Predator 2,king willie didnt run from death,he held his ground. Predator took his skull. The rest of those guys he killed in the penthouse,he skinned and hung them. So im guessing 3 of those guys went down like savages and predator took their skulls.

Later in the movie Predator starts really racking up the kill points. Mac spots the predator in the trees and shows Dillon where he is. Dillon says "Ok ill flush him out towards you and you nail him" and then dillon goes for his outflanking move. We all know the Predator has thermal vision,and probably saw them the whole time. No one in the movie ever figures this out really,so those two guys are doomed from the start. The predator just goes and kills Mac as soon as Dillon seperates from him,and then kills Dillon. Billy stands his ground and gets killed,and then pred shoots poncho in the head,and this is where Arnie jumps off the mountain into the water.

We all know Arnie gets covered in mud and pred cant see him. Watching this again,i realize when the Pred realizes he cant find him,he goes back up the mountain and retrieves the bodies of the slain and takes the trophies he wants. They show him taking Billys skull. Its pretty creepy to think about him going back up there to collect the trophies. Movies like this seem simple enough but back then the details put into even a movie like this is 10000 times better than any shit from today.

Watch this movie right now. The fuck.

This movie has so much testosterone, it qualifies as a PED. I set a Bench PR just by watching Predator the night before I went to the gym

I was reading about the making of Predator the other day. The scene where Billy is walking point and suddenly stops; Arnold gives the hand signal and the rest of the team take up defensive positions while Arnold talks to Billy.

Billy can't explain what's wrong. He just senses there is something in the trees. No one can see the Predator, not even the audience....

The scene is extremely tense and the performances of Billy and Arnold are perfect. But as soon as the director yelled, "Cut!", Sonny Landham sprinted into the jungle, pulled down his pants and shit all over the ground! All the cast were dealing with severe diarrhea contracted from the water at their hotel. Sonny had been holding it in all through the scene. Talk about suffering for one's art!<45><Lmaoo>

yall seen that Film Theory about how the Predator kills to reflect the perceived manliness of each character?

-Dillon loses the handshake to Arnie establishing his second best status, gets the same own blown off, then the Predator comes in for the up close kill
-Grenade Launcher guy gets sniped in the head from a distance, also freeing Arnie up for the finale 1 on 1
-Jesse the body 'doesn't have time to bleed' and gets killed swiftly w/ the blaster, cauterizing the wound as it blows threw him
-Mac is the knife guy, likes to play mind games, the predator tricks him and then snipes him from a distance. Also, Mac says "i'm gonna carve my name in you!" and the Predator lets him see the triforce symbol on his arm before he kills him
- Shane black is making jokes the whole time, and gets killed first and the swiftest (he's also the smallest/least manly of the crew)

That motherfucker took a giant swinging log to the chest and was still saying "I can make it man" making him pretty goddamn manly.

I thought that was the grenade launcher guy that Arnold was carrying at the end when Sonny made his last stand?

You're probably right, I think I got the two smaller guys mixed up.

 

[HunterSdVa29]

I'm still trying to figure out how McTiernan went from the literal two action movie GOATs in Die Hard and Predator.......to Basic and Roller Ball?

wait, what

 

[SenorFranko]

So you cooked up a story and dropped the 6 of us into the meat grinder

Bunch of slack jaws in here confusing Poncho with Hawkins
