**Lethal Predator Weapon** The first half hour is an all-out psychosis-fueled slugfest in the middle of a muddy field. Eventually Riggs is defeated and killed when his last-ditch triangle choke fails to work against the Predator’s unfamiliar physiology. Uh, and I guess the rest of it is just Predator 2. Also, [Alien Loves Predator](http://alienlovespredator.com). ---

At the end of Predator 2, one of the Predators (these guys are always capital-P “Predator”) throws Danny Glover’s character an old flintlock pistol as a trophy. So pick one of the better pirate pictures, and show “Predator vs. Pirates!” (of the Caribbean?) ---

Now I am picturing a four way sword fight (maybe the Predator’s shoulder cannon broke somewhere along the way) on a watermill wheel rolling down a hill. Or a tribe of cannibals being chased by the Predator.😃 ---

I always saw The Predator as a modern **Moby Dick**. I mean look at it. The leader of a specialist group of hunters away from society obsessively chases after the monster who has destroyed his crew. Of course by surviving, Arnold becomes in the end a combination of both the main human characters in the novel. ---

**My So Called Predator** Coming of age story told from the perspective of a young high school girl. Will she find love, will her parents know the real her, will she and her classmates survive locked in the school with the power out against an unstoppable foe with heat-spectrum vision…? ---

**Buffy the Predator Slayer**. Really, it’s just a matter of switching to a non-gay opponent. **The Predators of Navaronne.** A much more difficult mission. **The Sixth Predator.** I make dead people. **Predatory Report.** Chief Anderton has to hunt down a _very_ premeditated murderer. **The Dead Predators Society.** Young predators learn that life is not all about hunting. ---

**To Catch a Predator (with the Predator)** Dateline NBC host Chris Hansen is replaced by alien upstart, The Predator in this reinvisioned semi-bi-weekly per month news show. The Predator sets up elaborate traps and ploys to entice potential sex offenders, culminating in a new entertaining way to eliminate transgressors each episode. ---
