The mid-to-late 80s was truly a golden age for awesome, entertaining action flicks. I don’t think any other movies will ever give me more enjoyment than Aliens, Predator, and Robocop have.
It’s also this scene that made me wonder, “Just how the hell much ammo are these guys hauling around the jungle?”
No more than I typically carry in my usual CCW load.
(Some cargo shorts have a LOT of pockets).
Wats da matta? CIA got you pushing too many pencils?!
Looks like all of it.
This wasn’t a joke by the way. It was an actual requirement from the insurance company.
You’ll like this YTMND.
The scene where Arnold and Carl slap hands and flex should be a poster in every gym and gun range.
Cue the “slow clap” beginning.
Another great quote currently in his wiki page is the following: “On September 19, 2006, Landham injured four cars in an “accident” in Ashland, Kentucky.” Damn. I wish I could injure cars too, but I’m afraid they might hire lawyers to sue for medical expenses.
Both quotes were added by the same person, FTR…or the same IP, anyway, starting at about 11:30PM Oct 9 in whichever timezone Wikipedia’s timestamps use.
Full of macho goodness, as the actors are interviewed on and off set. A testosterone treat.
It’s rumored that the sweat from their daily workouts in the gym formed a lake which the locals now use for swimming and yachting.
“I’m a sexual tyrannosaurus”
This movie is one of the top 5 action movies of all time. Special forces, South American guerrilla rebels, a big honkin’ alien bad-ass warrior, and guns…oh the guns.
Predator 2 on the other hand…
Predator 2 wasn’t that bad a movie - you had the new predator inspiring a similar semi-religious awe in the Jamaican boss as the first did in Billy. It could have done without Maria Conchita Alonso and the “Get your people out of there!” ripoff from Aliens, but it wasn’t nearly as fucked up overall as AvP.
Plus Bill Paxton got killed, completing his Terminator/Alien/Predator trifecta, approached only by Lance Henrickson.
Maybe this needs its own thread, but the cast of the third Predator movie, Predators, was just revealed. The cast seems OK, but no one screams “Predator” quite like Arnold, Carl Weathers and Jesse Ventura do.

Tell me about it.
Adrien Brody? Topher Grace? Why not just throw in Elijah Wood in his Hobbit getup while you’re at it? These are not men to replace Arnold and Jesse!
At least Trejo, Ali, and Taktarov are suitably badass. Throw in Vin Diesel and you’ve got yourself a deal.
Watch Pitch Black if you haven’t already.
I haven’t seen it yet, although I own it. Chronicles of Riddick was pretty slick, though. Vin’s a good replacement for Arnold in the funny-talking badass category.
It’s only 7 if you are counting Anna (Elpidia Carrillo). After the operation, she went on to become the current governor of Louisiana.
Sounds to me (at the risk of a whoosh) that the film described has nothing to do with the Predator (Alien) universe, but is about a group of “cereal killers” (c.f. Sandman’s A Game of You).
