A+ for me, would make my top 100 easily.
Apparently it was hatched from a convo of 'who can we have Rocky fight next?' & someone suggested an alien. James Cameron put the final creative touches on the suit after it was originally some silly looking creature.
I recently re-watched, as it's been a personal summer staple forever. I think if anyone wanted could make a prequel, so long as they didn't dot it with cgi bs. Already mentioned in the jungle were CIA agents, Soviet military advisors, etc who were probably all there to kill the Predator. It was probably some secret US-Soviet shared file because the alien wasn't a threat to civilization so much as a strategic threat to Central American security yes? Why make it public when it's essentially just a technologically advanced Sasquatch making deadly waves every few years.

"What's the matter? CIA got you pushing too many pencils?"
"Billy's been acting squirrely all morning. That damn nose of his."

"If you lose it here--you're in a world of hurt."
"Billy, you ain't afraid of no man!"
Lots of great tough guy lines.
I am not sure what the general meant though when he said
"Looking good Dutch."
Dutch was obsessed with his appearance it seems.

'Leave it. He didn't kill you because you weren't armed - No sport.'
'If it bleeds, we can kill it.'
'Over here over here'. 'Turn around turn around'.

Very good action movie, an 8 for me, the Predator was a very good creation but sadly no other Predator movie ever quite reached the same level as the first movie.

10/10 - One of the best action/sci-fi movies of the 80s!
What a lot of people often fail to appreciate is how well the focus is balanced on the ensemble cast. It's not Arnie hogging the entire limelight all the time. Compare it with other ensemble films like "The Expendables", which was really about Sly and Statham's bromance while the rest of the cast were reduced to cameo-like appearances.

Yep, even as a kid it was a shame to see his crew get off'd one at a time. I thought Billy was an awesome character. |

One of the best sci-fi/action movies ever. Hope the new Predator movie will be good.
