I was under the impression that windtalkers were used more in the Pacific theater, so if anything the predators will be killing a lot of Japanese soldiers.

Oh right. If it's about that then yeah it'll probably be the Marines and the Pacific theater.

I thought the same thing, then looked it up.

Comanche code talkers were used by the 4th Infantry Division which fought in the European theater which participated in the Battle of the Bulge and the capture of Nuremburg.

So yeah, Nazis.

Yeah it's not perfect but it's a real treat that builds on the formula.

Predators is in my estimation the 3rd best in the canon after Predator and Prey, though I would not fight too hard if you wanted to put Predator 2 over it as well.

It’s a cool movie!

The design of the super-Predators was a little goofy for fans but then ‘Prey’ came out and had the most hosed up Predator face in history so ‘Predators’ doesn’t seem that bad by comparison.

I saw Predator 2 before the original, and actually enjoyed it more? I feel like it gets a bad rap. I also haven’t watched it in ages, so maybe that’s deserved.

Ok i'm watching Predators now :stare: katana stand was bad rear end. is that the first time a human has killed a predator in physical combat?

this movie deserves to be revisited. it came out in that nadir of sequels where they had to speedrun every plot point from the first movie. If you have never seen a predator movie before, this movie may as well be in latin. Otherwise the action is good, the effects are good, but the aforementioned issues mean the pacing/weight is loving terrible.

Maybe its Adrian Brody, but I kinda want to see Wes Anderson remake this movie. Weirdly i think he could make it work

I really enjoyed it. The motley crew of characters, surprise Morpheus, Predator on Predator crime.

I thought Brody played a pretty great action anti-hero too.

So the captioning sucks on this one, but it’s at least a decent video you could paste some text on (in a font of your choice!).

“I admire it’s purity” is at 2:04.

e: this scene freaked me out as a kid. The high pitched whine at the start is literally what I hear if I’m having an anxiety attack. Ash’s weird voice effect was how I heard anything spoken in a nightmare for a long while (maybe up until end of middle school?).

I didn’t realize either of these things until rewatching the movie like 2 years ago, and I’m 38 now.

It got me good as a kid too. There's a reason that line has been stuck in my head for decades. It's funny, everyone I know who saw Alien as a little kid had some part of that film burn itself into their brain forever, but it's been different for everyone I've talked to about it.

Okay so I think I'm stuck in Aliens Dark Descent, I'm in Dead Hills and I'm supposed to find a bunch of cameras (marked on my map) and use them to find the source of the infestation or something? Where are these cameras and how do I interact with them? I'm going to each point in the map but I have no idea what to do and I don't see anything to interact with.

Interact with them by clicking on them, on the map.

Real answer it would probably use its tail to pull your arm away.

I played SNES Jurassic Park with my best friend growing up, weeks long summer adventure to beat it. There's a point where you have to reboot the system. This was before we knew anything about the internet, and there probably wasn't much out there at the time anyways. Weeks and maybe even months went by of us spending our Saturdays getting to that point then getting stuck. We'd then trace back our steps all over the drat map looking for something to help us reboot the system. Little did we know, all we had to do, was click the drat "boot" on the screen, to re-boot the system.

I'm gonna guess it puts its tail around your neck and cuts of your oxygen until you pass out and your hand goes limp. Same thing as when it threatens to strangle its victim if anyone messes with it while it's implanting.

The trick is the tail is constricting your neck, which I suspect will cause your reflexes to gasp for air & give the facehugger an opportunity.

Now that I'm thinking of it, did the facehugger melt Kane's helmet when it attacked him?
