It was a rescue mission? Who was the rescue target? It has been a long time since I have seen that movie

A cabinet minister who was doing a helo tour. Dutch immediately calls out the story as sounding phony saying 'this cabinet minister, does he always travel on the wrong side of the border?' And Carl's character switches to some line about our 'friends' in the area going to be squeezed 'real bad'.

As I recall there were some American bodies found that had Intel on them but Carl's character was more interested in the papers than the people who got tortured and killed.

Predator is this inverse horror movie. None of the people being killed one after the other like in every other horror movie are incompetent or not trained or in any way not prepared. No one is dumb or foolish. And still yet one by one they are picked off.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

also OP, if Dillon did not lie to Dutch there would be no storyline for the classic 1987 movie, "Predator," therefore Dillon was right to lie to Dutch

Personally, I feel like they could've still hammered something else out based on that whole minor subplot about some kind of alien hunter or whatever. That whole thing.

Didn't the lady say they had legends/stories of this "Predator" in the jungle. Like Predators repeatedly came to this area.

yup Dillon did send an assassin squad which was Jim Harpers men or 'green berets out of foat bwagg'. Arnold was surprised Jim walked into what looked to be an ambush, and then they started finding all the hanging dead soldiers.

Predators was great because it expanded the concept sincerely AND well done, I loved the entire idea of Predators recruiting murders and serial killers to hunt. I loved that Topher was the actual last bad guy.
I loved that the final girl lived and won.

That's a Larry Fishburn performance that absolutely fucks.

The marketing was also amazing, since it featured Fishburn HEAVILY despite the fact that he’s only in about 10 minutes of the actual runtime

here is Gary Busey recapping the ending of Predator

This scene would of been better if Gary Busey had talked about if the lie dillion told was ethical or not.

As is it's still okay though, just not as philosophically enlightening as it could of been.

There's the AvP2 game on PC that's pretty cool. Fox left it in licensing hell though, so it's pretty much abandonware.

How do you think predators hold their cigarettes? I’m thinking that they use their face pincers, but like, just the ones on the left

ya its called being prepared

the first part of the movie being a sweet jagged alliance story about a bunch of musclemen, badasses and wiseguys doing badass muscleman wiseguy stuff is why it works so well

I heard a behind the scenes story about the director wanting to keep with the idea of Dutch's squad being top draw rescue specialists and subtle and stealthy as gently caress, and explicitly not wanting to depict them as gratuitous murder gods...except the second unit didn't get the memo and shot the 'rescue' in the most Team America gently caress Yeah way imaginable so he just had to roll with it, much to his annoyance. Dunno how true it is but the idea of him seeing their footage come in and despairing is hilarious for sure.

In the lovely ripoff movie Robowar from 1988 (Predator but with a Terminator) the mercs are too low budget to have cool helicopter banter so they're on a boat instead and led by Reb Brown




Since it's a Bruno Mattei joint the first 5 minutes are an exposition dump by some evil army guys that lay out the entire conspiracy/coverup plot that was unspooled so skillfully in the original
