Everybody knows Predator is the ultimate in testosterone fueled entertainment. So how much cooler would any work of fiction be with one of the most badass aliens of all time added to it. You can add the Predator in any story, but you can’t change the very nature of him/it. That would be sacrilege. The Predator operates with a certain code. He wont attack pregnant women, kids, unarmed people, or anybody he assumes is unworthy of the hunt. You can insert the Predator into Pride and Prejudice, but he wont go after Darcy without no raisins.
Darcy reading a book in the foyer = Predator does not rip his head off.
Darcy goes on a fox hunt = Predator rips his head off.
Feel free to add other characters from the Predator films if you wish.
**Saving private Ryan, with Predator. **
After storming Omaha Beach where many of the Nazi pillboxes had already been mysteriously destroyed, and their inhabitants brutally slaughtered. Captain John H. Miller (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and his men get a mission to go behind enemy lines and bring back Private Ryan. The deeper they go into enemy territory, the more evidence they find of the Predators activities. Mutilated and skinned Nazi bodies hang from several trees. One of the soldiers has a bad feeling about this mission.
After finding Ryan and agreeing to defend the town, Miller and his men get into a three way fight with the Nazis and Predator. Needles to say, there’s going to be a lot of close ups of Nazi heads exploding. Miller’s last words wont be “earn this”, but “Fuck you asshole!” as he blows himself and the Predator with a hand grenade. Predator self destructs, taking the town with him.
Last scene is of Ryan standing over the grave of Miller. He smiles and says “You’re one ugly motherfucker”. He takes swig of whiskey and smokes a cigar, mumbles about paper pushing CIA agents and walks away. The end.
I always wanted to see the Predator race visit Babylon 5. Seeing a Predator vs Shadow battle would be awesome.
Star Trek Voyager had a Predator like species. The Hirogen were hunters that collected Humanoid trophies. But, they weren’t nearly as bad ass as Predator.
Predator on Castaway. The obvious choice here is for him to play Tom Hanks character, but for a more subtle performance, Wilson might be the better choice.
Series Ideas.
Predator as Daniel Jackson on Stargate. Cuts through a bunch of crap and definitely take the series up a notch.
Predator as Balky Bartarkimous on Perfect Stangers. Let hijinks ensue.
Predator as Frank Burns on MASH.
Predator as Captain Stubbing on the Love Boat. Or perhaps the perky activities director. For a lighter role, maybe the bar tender Issac.
Predator as J R Eweing on Dallas. We will sure as hell find out who shot JR post haste.
Predator as George Castanza. Nobody will say shrinkage more than once thats for sure.
French Kiss - Meg Ryan journeys to France to go after her cheating boyfriend. Predator comes along to help her track him down (… and dismember him), but they end up falling in love along the way. A few jokes revolve around the Predator’s inability to use his spear properly.
Megalomaniac oilman Daniel Plainview isn’t the only evil that’s descended on Little Boston, California. The Predator hunts these barren and dusky hills. Neither can tolerate any backsliding in their pursuits, escalating into a war of wills: man’s vs creature’s.
Silence of the Lambs, Roar of the Predator!
Hannibal Lecter assists Agent Starling in tracking down a brutal and mysterious trophy-taking manhunter.
Apocalypse Predator
During the on-going Vietnam War, Captain Willard is sent on a dangerous mission into Cambodia to assassinate a Predator, played by Marlon Brando, who has set himself up as a God among a tribe of headhunters .
To Kill a Predator
Atticus Finch, a lawyer in the Depression-era South, defends a spacefaring Predator against an undeserved rape charge, and his kids against southern xenophobia.
They also had another race that looked like Predators. So much so that I thought they maybe recycled old prosthetics from Predator in the same way that the Borg were (apparently) clothed with surplus from the Dune film.
MacGyver vs Predator? The man who spurns guns vs the creature that only chases those with them.
Seth Rogan and Paul Rudd convince their buddy, the Predator, to hook up with some chick and finally see how good it is to strip and mount a human skull.
… Which he then sells on e-bay to score some weed. The end.
