Overall this is a B movie creature feature, but it's carried out with such style and aplomb that it's hugely enjoyable throughout. FAQ Why didn't the Predator kill the guerrilla rebels at the guerilla camp, before Dutch and his team did? Why did the Predator laugh when it activated it's self-destruct device? How did Dutch not lose his arm when the Predator shot him with its plasma cannon?

Cast and crew filmed on rough terrain that, according to the actor, was never flat, 'always on a hill. We stood all day long on a hill, one leg down, one leg up.
It was terrible. The actor recalled that 'when he's supposed to slap me around and stay far from my face, all of a sudden, whap! There is this hand with claws on it! The outfit was difficult to wear because it was heavy and put him off-balance. The original Predator creature was created by Richard Edlund of Boss Film Studios and was a disproportionate, ungainly creature with large yellow eyes and a dog-like head, and nowhere near as agile as necessary for what the filmmakers had intended.
While on a plane ride to Fox studios alongside Aliens director James Cameron, Winston sketched monster ideas. Cameron suggested he had always wanted to see a creature with mandibles, which became part of the Predator's iconic look.
The invisibility effect was achieved by having someone wearing a bright red suit because it was the farthest opposite of the green of the jungle and the blue of the sky the size of the Predator. The red was removed with chroma key techniques, leaving an empty area. When the two takes were combined optically, the jungle from the second take filled in the empty area.
Because the second take was filmed with a wider lens, a vague outline of the alien could be seen with the background scenery bending around its shape. For the thermal vision, infrared film could not be used because it did not register in the range of body temperaturewavelengths. The filmmakers used a Inframetrics thermal video scanner because it gave good heat images of objects and people.
The drawings were composited by the optical crew for the finished effects. The score was composed by Alan Silvestri, who was coming off the huge success of Back to the Future in Predator was his first major action movie and the score is full of his familiar genre characteristics: heavy horn blasts, staccato string rhythms, and undulating timpani rolls that highlight the action and suspense. Little Richard's song 'Long Tall Sally' is featured in the helicopter en route to the jungle.
Mac also recites a few lines from the song as he's chasing the Predator after it escapes from their booby trap. Silvestri returned for the sequel, making him the only composer to have scored more than one film in either the Alien or Predator series.
In , the same year Predators featured an adaptation of Silvestri's score by John Debney, Intrada Records released the album in a copy limited edition with remastered sound, many cues combined and renamed, and most notably as with Intrada's release of Basil Poledouris's score for RoboCop presenting the original end credits music as recorded the film versions are mixed differently. This release is notable for having sold out within a day. In , Henry Jackman adapted and composed Silvestri's themes in the score of the film, The Predator.
From contemporary reviews, Metacritic assigns a weighted average score of 45 out of based on 15 reviews, indicating 'mixed or average reviews. The early appearance of the Predator makes the final gladiatorial conflict predictable, and the monster's multiple transformations also exhaust interest in its final appearance, which comes as no real surprise.
The site's critical consensus reads: ' Predator : Part sci-fi, part horror, part action -- all muscle. Predator is absolutely fantastic viewing. The quintessential action movie. One of my favorite films of all time. What makes it so unique is that the story starts off as a simple but exhilarating rescue mission; but then it suddenly switches gears and becomes a fight for survival for everyone involved. The genius of that! The cast is wonderful; Arnold as Dutch was very convincing and commanding, yet humbled and low-key in his performance.
The only way you would know that he's the star is that his face is on the cover, he's the leader of the group, and he survives at the end.
The whole cast worked very well together. The one thing that still astonishes me to this day, 16 years later, is indeed the Predator.
The special effects in this film was very much ahead of its time, the camouflage was pure genius. I still can't believe my eyes when I see the camouflage effects; it blows me away that even now in it could sit alongside the FX seen in TODAY'S films with no shame.
I'm waiting for Fox to put out a special edition DVD with behind the scenes footage explaining how the Predator was done; from the effects with its sight and the beautiful camouflage, to the suit.
Predator is evidence of how action films should be done. A great story and relentless action, all progressing the story along. A timeless classic, one of the best films of all time. The 'forest massacre' scene is one of the funniest scenes in movie history!! An excellent Schwarzenegger classic that still attracts viewers and keeps people thrilled by TheUnknown Predator is definitely one of the best alien thrillers ever made.
It is one of my personal favorite movies. When I first saw just a brief part of Predator when I was about five, I was freaked out and scared to even watch the movie for many ages, but eventually, once getting older, came to like it.
The Predator, played by Kevin Peter Hall, is a very realistic and believable creature for the s, when this movie was created. I like how humanlike its form is, and how un-humanlike it is at the same time. This is obviously the best of the Predator movies and still one of the most highly liked thrillers today. And let's all show respect for Kevin Peter Hall, who died a year after he had made Predator 2. The immediate grabbing feature of this movie is its score, very imaginatively composed and created by Alan Silvestri whose other credits include the Back to the Future series and other gems like Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
The tempo and build up which the score lends to the film engage its viewers with feelings of fear and nerve wracking suspense for what lurks within the thick of the forest. The action is fast, furious and merciless. The commandos are killed off one by one, leaving Arnie, Carl Weathers and the surviving members extremely terrified and on the verge of breaking down.
Note the heated arguments that some of the commandos get into with each other. There is very animated and fiery action in the beginning assault on the terrorist camp but as we are introduced to the true terror of the jungle or should I say, outer space , the action takes a turn for the more insane eg.
Arnie running away armed only with a knife and trembling in fear, almost drowning in a waterfall and thereafter, continually pursued by the Predator. All this followed by a half hour long jungle battle mano a mano with spears, rocks and fists and hall deafening yells by both warriors. Very, very fierce and macho stuff I assure you all. True connoisseurs of hard action Arnie is at his best in this sci-fi classic! Despite the fact that I've seen it dozens of times as a kid, I have only seen it once during adulthood; and that single viewing was more than enough to remind me what it is that I love about this film!
Predator works as a macho action film, gory horror and intriguing sci-fi, and despite it's short running time of just minutes, it somehow manages to find room for all three. He's not a good actor, but Arnie always manages to bring that extra something to his movies. The plot is deliciously simple and follows a group of commandos that go off into the jungle on a secret mission. However, things go awry when it turns out that they aren't the only ones with weapons there.
Finding the skinned bodies of the last group of men that entered the jungle is about to become the least of their worries The jungle makes for a great setting for an action sci-fi flick such as this. These sorts of films tend to be set in space, so seeing the action down here on earth is different; and the fact that it's set in the jungle, with it's dense foliage, ensures that Die Hard-director John McTiernan is able to bump up the suspense, as just like in the Vietnam war; the soldiers are dealing with an unknown enemy.
The atmosphere really is excellent, and the special effects help to create a futuristic tone, while the suspense builds and makes sure that the audience are on the edge of their seats at all times.
