So, I get a copy of Arnold Shwarzenegger’s “Predator” on dvd since I haven’t seen this movie in years.
As most DVDs do, they have the original theatrical trailer for the film included.
The voice over for the trailer tells the summary of the story and concludes with the line:
“and now, Arnold Shwarzenegger must become… The Predator.”
So, Arnold is the Predator. Not the alien. Makes sense since at the end of the movie Arnold snaps into action and becomes predator making the alien his prey.
This would mean that this whole Alien vs. Predator thing is a sham. It should be Alien vs. Alien. If not then Arnold should be fighting the “Alien” aliens.
You’ve a lot to learn young Jedi. The Milius/Schwarzenegger commentary’s well funny however. Total Recall’s the tits. Running Man’s dated bigtime though.
And Predator features the first appearance of the notorious Minigun Voting Machine! Jesse Ventura uses it in Predator and gets elected Governor of Minnesota. Arnie uses the same prop gun in a subsequent movie (Terminator 2 IIRC) and gets elected Governator of California. Who’s next?
No, I don’t think Carl used the minigun at all. It was the bald black guy who picked it up and ran it out of ammo.
I saw the film a few months back. It struck me that if you had told me when the film was released that two of the actors were going to become governors, I would not have believed you and certainly would not have picked those two.
