Nothing like it has ever been on earth before.
It came for the thrill of the hunt. It picked the wrong man to hunt.
Soon the hunt will begin.
Nothing like it has ever been on Earth before. It came from another planet for the thrill of the hunt. It picked the wrong man.
In a part of the world where there are no rules, deep in the jungle where nothing that lives is safe, an elite rescue squad is being led by the ultimate warrior. But now, they're up against the ultimate enemy. Nothing like it has ever been on earth before. It kills for pleasure, it hunts for sport. But this time, it picked the wrong man to hunt.
We cannot see it, but it sees the heat of our bodys and the heat of our fear
In this movie, Arnold will experience every meaning of the word '' Pain ''.
Dutch (Arnlod Schwarzenegger) and a team of commandos have been sent into a Central American jungle to track down some missing airmen that were kidnapped by terrorists. By the time they get to the camp, the airmen have been butchered in a very violent fashion and the commandos retaliate on the terrorists' camp. After that's over, they wait for a helicopter to pick them up, but something strange begins to happen in the woods. It isn't long before the commandos start getting killed off and Dutch and a girl from the camp, Anna (Elpidia Carrillo), are the only people left and fighting for their lives. But what they discover is too shocking for them to imagine. What's been killing them is the Predator, an alien that hunts rare species and make his trophies out of their skulls. And human beings are the new species he has discovered.

Entertaining hybrid of action/sci-fi/Arnie flick
posted on 09 Aug 2009PREDATOR (1987) *** Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weather, Sonny Landam, Jesse Ventura, Elpidia Carrillo, Bill Duke. Sort of "Rambo" meets "Alien": top notch original actioner wtih Mr. Beefy leading a band of mercenaries into the jungles of Latin America facing more than they expected when they encounter a nasty, chameleon-like monster from another world with some violent results. Waycool effects and intelligently directed by John McTiernan.
A suspenseful and epic thriller.
posted on 25 Jul 2009Arnold Schwarzenegger stars in one of the greatest and most intense sci-fi horror films ever. A group of soldiers go into a jungle to take down an army of rebels in an awesome action packed shootout scene, unfortunately something is hunting them down. The film can be divided into three stages, the action packed part where they complete a mission, the scary part where the heroes try to escape an unseen foe and get killed in a bloody and gory manner, and finally the remaining man taking a last stand against the enemy. He sets traps and uses his jungle environment to hide. An alien who hunts for sport and has a cloaking device against a single human in a thrilling movie that ultimately defines what a great survival horror film should be.
Gunfire and explosions. Nothing more, nothing less...
posted on 16 Jul 2009This film is a proof that without James Cameron Schwarzenegger's movies offer nothing but lots of gunfire and explosions. Extreme violence tries to evoke some kind of fear in the viewer, but this doesn't work in my case. Predator is painfully stereotypical and has no plot, not to mention character development. Technically, however, the movie is very well done. Watch this movie once, but don't try to figure out what it meant. And avoid the sequel at all costs.
Sci-fi classic
posted on 10 Jul 2009One of the classic sci-fi movies and one of the most entertaining action movies ever made. Certainly one of the best Arnold movies, along with Terminator 1 and 2. Mix a simple but effective story, one cool alien, well directed action scenes, Arnold kicking ass and you get an top notch action movie. Sure, there are some exaggerated macho performances, but John knows how to do it with style.So if you're a young (but not too young) movie viewer who haven't yet seen Predator, be sure to do so to get a sample of action 80's style with Arnold at his peak.Rating: 8/10
Terrific rumble in the jungle
posted on 01 Jul 2009Thirteen years ago, this rumble in the jungle became an instant smash, spawning comics, model kits and an engaging sequel with Danny Glover.It also made The Matrix producer Joel Silver even more wealthy thanks to its heady mix of humour, action and special effects. The fact that it starred one of the world's biggest box office draws of the time did little to harm the project either.Back in 1987, Arnold Schwarzenegger was piping hot property. With a couple of Conan movies and The Terminator under his belt, the Austrian Oak proved that he could make millions at the box office by flexing his pecs and sneering out a series of one-liners.Arnie teamed up with director John McTiernan for what at first looked like just another Aliens clone. However, while the first half is another tale of kick ass soldiers decimated by a savage ET, the second half turns into something quite stunning.Schwarzenegger is great when he keeps his mouth shut and gives a terrific performance as the man mountain clashing with what can only be described as a Rastafarian crab-faced monster.As ever, make-up guru Stan Winston delivers a stunning foe, and while Arnie may usually be a force to be reckoned with as the buffed super soldier, Dutch, he is practically eclipsed by one of the big screen's most exciting alien creations.As you might imagine, making this 1987 classic was far from easy. It was shot on location in Mexico at Puerto Vallarta, miles from anywhere.The cast got up at 6am for breakfast and then ran four or five miles to get into condition. There were another five hours of working in the jungle on skills training - climbing trees and handling weaponry, among other things. Another two hours of weight training left them exhausted, by which time McTiernan was ready to rehearse.It's a pity the script wasn't as well honed as the cast. The dialogue by Jim and John Thomas - who wrote Executive Decision and this year's woeful Mission To Mars - is far from subtle. There are also a few dodgy moments such as the scene in which one poor troop has his arm removed, yet you can see the real limb strapped behind his back.It scarcely matters. If you can avoid the often absurd diplays of macho heroics during the first half hour and the fact that the eponymous villain seems to use a 50p paint pallette as his wrist detonator, then what develops is literally out of this world.
One of the best "arnie-movies"
posted on 25 Jun 2009Some movies, you can only love or hate. Predator is not only a good one, it is one of my favorites and I can not understand that the ranking is so low. It is not an intellectual movie, it is movie with a typical good guy/bad guy situation. So this may be the reason, why some people don't like it so much. The Alien is very well designed and, for the time, the special effects are quite good. Together with the second part of Predator ,with Danny Glover, it is one of the best movie series ever and I look forward to the Alien vs Predator movie. My opinion: The good guy must win, the bad guy must die and the winner must be human. Thanks Arnie !
Nice Sci-fi thriller
posted on 16 Jun 2009Arnold simply rocks in this movie although this is a rarity in his movies, except for the two Terminator movies of course. Predator delivers suspense at its best, even though I find the plot outline to be very similar to Aliens. This of course might be a coincidence. The classic score by Alan Silvestri (?) is very nicely done and highlights the great atmosphere. You definitely have to look out for director John McTiernan as he makes kick-ass movies, such as Die Hard 1 & 3, Thomas Crown Affair and Hunt for Red October.8 out of 10
The movie that made the word 'Predator' infamous.
posted on 16 Jun 2009John Mctierman and company have laid claim to the word 'Predator'. They have created the ultimate hunter/killer roaming the universe looking for worthy prey and this time it's Arnold (Dutch), and his able military team. This movie is fast paced enough to please action fans but also skillfully creates suspense by keeping their stalker in the shadows so that the predator feels ever present and is just cautiously eyeing and selecting it's prey. Bit by bit it is revealed to us until it's full horror is unleashed in the climatic scene.The casting of this movie is near perfection, except for Shane Black who was offered a bit part when he was not needed for screenwriting duties. Arnold is the ultimate screen superhero. He is seemingly invincible and his overbearing confidence makes his casting as a leader natural. His muscles, thick austrian accent and powerful name have helped him permanently claim roles as his own - Conan, the Terminator and of course this one. Without Arnold in the sequel, it was always going to pale in comparison. For the screen superhero it was obligatory to have an adversary from outer space. Only in this way was Arnold going to have to use all that he had to overcome the invader. This is the match - up that moviegoers will want to see - the world's superhero trying to save us from a threat from outer space. Although this sounds reminiscent of the 40's and 50's when Hollywood capitalized on people's fears of a threat from outer space, this movie far transcends those B grade movies.His crack unit is composed of some of the most outlandish characters the action genre has to offer. There is Jesse Ventura, the loud and attention seeking ex - professional wrestler. His gun says it all - everything is over the top with him. Sonny Landham is the indian with a sixth sense. It is this contribution that adds to the movie's suspense - he senses the Predator and quickly comes to realize that the team is up against something stronger than them. This unnerves the others since Billy is always the calmest and is able to access the enemy and give his team the advantage. Then there is of course the seasoned screen professional, Carl Weathers. He is always in top physical condition and this along with his smoothness, is ideal for his role as the ex - ops boy who becomes a collar and tie agent - a job that requires different values and he now uses the men he used slog in the trenches with. This grouping together of such strong personalities must have created a very competitive atmosphere which would have translated into better performances. Notwithstanding this fact John Mctierman must have had a big balancing act on his hands.Arnold's contribution to the movie was not just that of the leading character, he also recommended Stan Winston after the first Predator creation was curtly rejected by John Mctierman. His creation embodies all one could imagine that the alien predator could have. It has missiles, spears, blades as talons, camouflage, infra - red eyesight and can deftly move within any environment. Of particular note is how the predator looks. It is the personification of our nightmares. Our fears tend to exaggerate our monsters and they are endowed with unnaturally long claws, glaring evil eyes, excessive mandibles ending with unusually long teeth and they are of immense size and strength. This is spawned by Stan in his alien predator creation. Undoubtably he is the man best able to create these monsters that haunt us at night.Although there are scenes that remind you of the 70's slasher flicks, it is never done for the sake of it. These scenes show us how deadly the predator is and how it can swiftly attack and disappear without trace. The fact that highly trained team members are being killed in this way makes the rest feel vulnerable to the point of cracking. Unlike these slasher films the acting is better, no - one is helpless and these scenes fit into the story and are not the excuse for it.The climatic encounter is fantastic. Dutch uses all his capabilities to overcome the predator, but when facing his end the predator sizes him up as an opponent worthy enough to face unarmed. It had found a prey that by facing in unarmed, pure combat, it would prove itself as the true warrior. It's drive to be the ultimate warrior is it's undoing since it affords Dutch the opportunity to lead it to a trap.Also worthy of mention is the powerful military soundtrack thus setting the tone for a meeting of two great forces where one will stand and one will fall.
The Greatest Action Film Ever
posted on 07 Jun 2009This film is the simply the greateset action movie ever. It fully embraces the idea that plot is secondary to muscle, machines, explosions, and excitement. Set in the jungle it takes the storyline of one person versus an unbeatable foe to the next level. It also captures Arnold at his finest: lots of action and little talk. In fact the whole second half of the movie has hardly any spkoen lines, but it still keeps your attention and inspires you to take on anything. The movie also has many now famous quotes like "I ain't got time to bleed", "Dillon!", "Old painless is waiting for ya", "Stick around", and "If is bleeds we can kill it". In addition to Arnold, Jesse Ventura, Bill Duke, and Carl Weathers all have career performances and many notable scenes. In all, this is one of the greatest movies ever that everyone who is a fan of action movies must see.
Survival of the fittest.
posted on 20 May 2009SPOILERS WARNING:This Scifi/action/horror/suspense is personally the greatest movie I have ever seen.Carl Weathers is fantastic.He went from being the slimming, and lean Appolo Creed. To a 6'2 behemoth body builder. Who's body comes in second only to the irrisputable king Arnold Schwarzenegger. Although some critcs doubted his acting and although I think (along with many others) that it was captivating. Who needs acting with muscles like those. Schwarzenegger was brilliant, the perfect commando. With muscles that could make any other actor look like a piece of French cheese cloth,And Jesse Ventura was classic as Blain.A typical testosterone charged tough guy.And was most people don't know about his famous one liner-"I ain't got time to bleed" was that it was actually the title of a book written by this former Navy seal. Bill Duke is terrifying,And plays the magnificent role of a soldier slowly losing his mind. Which eventually leads to his demise. But those aren't the only reasons this movie is cool.That fact that the first time I saw it,It was late at night all by myself in a dark room.I was nine years old and had just been allowed to start watching rated R movies.And it shocked me senseless.Upon seeing Jim hopper and his men skinned I nearly fainted I jumped out of my skin,And my heart nearly stopped when I watched Mac (Bill Duke)slaughter a boar with his bare hands and a Knife. I also liked it because it's the type of movie where anything go's. In other action flicks all the good guys always win. everybody go's home alive and well. But not this movie, In this movie you can't tell who will live and who wont. You Know that at any moment the character you've taken a fondness to could be slaughtered.And thats what keeps first timers on the edges of their seats. That and Elpidia Carillo who's presence and innocence slowly allure you into a false sense of security. And then theres the character of Poncho. look how much smaller he is than the other men and yet how much farther he gets. Even after nearly being crushed by a log. And one no bigger than the one that took out the Predator or Yjuata. And thats why this is the best movie ever. (And for those of you that are saying "He forgot Hawkins" I didn't-I'm just worried about exceeding my word limit. Although He was awesome to).
The Best Action Film ever
posted on 14 May 2009Predator is the TRUE male action movie. It features drama, action, humor, great special effects, a great fight sequence and more. Arnold is Major Dutch whose troops and himself are being hunted by an alien from outer space that kills and cuts their skins. The film is cool, and its a classic.
Rewatchable everytime.
posted on 02 May 2009By far the best Arnie film, This film doesnt try to be a film that it isnt and this makes it good. Altough this is and always will be overshadowed by Alien and Aliens, this film is as entertaining, stands well on the test of time and will be remembered for a long time to come.***SPOLIERS****I watch this film everytime its on TV, Ok the plot is a little like Alien (sort of), A team of Mercenaries (and they are) are asked to rescue some hostages, and on route find a team of ex-commando's (who they knew), questions arise, what are they doing there and why have they no skin ?. Later in the film we find out the hostage scenario was a ploy and they're actually cleaning up the dead soldiers mission: killing the alien,(or have i got this all wrong?) Any one-by-one they are killed until arnie is left to battle the beast to the end.This is a good, entertaining film and should be enjoyed by all. 8/10.
A HORRIBLE movie!
posted on 20 Apr 2009This movie was horrible. One of the worst movies I have ever seen. All the other reviews must be people who have watched the movie over and over until they are hypnotized into saying it is a good movie. Don't listen to them! This movie looked like it was made within the space of a few hours. The acting was horrible. Arnold Shwarzenegger(who is usually very very good) was not believable. It was packed with tediously irritating "One-liners" such as "That is one ugly mother****er! when the Alien finally takes off his mask. And when arnold throws a knife through somebody's shoulder(pinning them to the wall) and says "Stick Around". This move(if nothing else) was laughable. The special effects were mediocre. Nothing amazing. Not even for 1987. The movie does not make much sense since, you cannot even understand what Arnold is saying alot of the time because of his thick accent. He seems to have worked on it over the years so he is now very understandable. There were times when I was quite bewildered as to what was going on. The movie was also agonizingly predictable. I found myself betting as to who was going to get knocked off next. I would say "Haha look at that ugly sucker. HE'LL be the next one to die. Ha! Ha! See? I was right!" The movie was also ridiculously unrealistic. At one point arnold throws a huge bomb of some sort at the Alien. It explodes and burns up everything in sight EXCEPT Arnold because HE was under a log! A log! It burned down trees but it couldn't get under the log! But anyway, if you see this movie after reading my review and like it then there is no help for you.
Great Action Film.
posted on 20 Apr 2009Predator is a great action film that combines military action with outer space creatures. A group of top notch military soldiers soon find that they are being hunted by a mysterious being. First off I want to say that the cast is really good in this film. Schwarzenneggar gives one of his best performances in a film and definitely one of his most under rated. He has a lot of great one liners ("stick around", "knock knock") as well. Carl Weathers also is great in this film and I think he is one of the best supporting actors in the films that he is in notably "Rocky" and "Happy Gilmore". ALso you can not go wrong with Jessie Ventura in an action film. The Predator in this film is pretty cool. I like how they do not give away what he looks like right away to build suspense. The idea of a creature that blends in to the surroundings and kills is pretty cool. The Predator gets to do a lot of killing in this film and is a pretty good bad guy for a film.THere is no shortage of action in this film. Right off the bat there is a great gun fire battle between Schwarrzenneggars crew and some foreign country, I forget who they are. Then you have the Predator going against the entire group and an epic battle between Schwarzenneggar and the Predator one on one. Of all the Predator films this is the best by far and I strongly recommend it.
Good action picture, but it could have been great
posted on 05 Apr 2009It must be said right now: "Predator" is one of the rare good action movies to see the light today. The problem is that it could have been great...Starring the indestructible Arnold Schwarzenegger, "Predator" is an audacious and inventive movie, doing a great mix of action, science fiction, horror and exotic destinations. And that just before the film's director John McTiernan come up with his masterpiece "Die Hard".Schwarzenegger plays Dutch, an American military officer dispatched somewhere in Latin America. His crew has to find and rescue a small group of American hostages captured by guerrillas in the jungle. According to Dutch, this mission seems to be only a walk in the park (or in the rain-forest, if you prefer...).In fact, it is. The guerrillas' camp is quickly knocked down by Dutch and his mates and the Latino soldiers of fortune are all eliminated. But neither Dutch, nor anyone of his colleagues could have predicted what would follow...In the way of the Xenomorph in "Alien", the soldiers are killed one by one in an horrible and disgusting way by what looks like to be an invisible figure.The Predator, thus we have to name it, is rather an extra-terrestrial whose 'hunting' outfit contains super-powerful weapons, an ultra-perfected camouflage mode, a mask that looks like those from Polynesian people and a rasta 'hairstyle'... By the way, we get to see its true (and very ugly, should I say it) face at the very end of the movie only, simply to imply that the people who are responsible of the presentation do not twist their thumbs...The movie "Predator" starts pretty well. The three skinned corpses give a gruesome foretaste of things to come and they are even more convincing than those that we would see four years later in the famous "Silence of the Lambs".In fact, the soldiers are killed one by one and each one in a different method. So it avoids to give a repetitive mood to the film and it also avoids from giving to the viewer a feeling of non-surprise. On the contrary, horror and gore are always there, victim after victim.But what really draws the attention, it's the Predator itself. Its creation and its movements required the use of very sophisticated special effects for its era and nothing has been left at random in order to make the creature even more frightening and also more exciting to watch.What made the movie famous, it's probably the audacious, ingenious and inventive use of the thermal camera. This method strengthens the existing parallel between "Predator" and "Jaws". Not only that the two main 'antagonists' kill their preys one by one, but we never really see them in the first hour. Instead of that, a special viewing point is taken for each of them. In "Jaws", it's the underwater swimmers' legs. In "Predator", it's the thermal camera.We must not forget the enemy's 'camouflage' either. Remember: the time is 1987. That means: no computers. Because today, recreating the curved mirror-like effect would be a child's play. But in the context of the time where the movie was created, it was a prodigious technique. And even today, it still stuns, even if it became easier.The greatest adversary of the Predator is also very good. Schwarzenegger is surprising in this film and his stature of former bodybuilder helps him instead of attracting prejudices, because he's not the only character in this movie who has mountains instead of biceps. In fact, I think that it's his best role (after the Terminator, of course).And to crown everything, the jungle becomes an entity within itself, as in "Platoon", thus fueling the thrills that give the Predator hunt.Unfortunately, the movie contains massive mistakes. In fact, "Predator" is an almost-perfect film for the first hour, or hour and a quarter. It's when there's only Schwarzenegger left to kill that everything changes. The action scenes, which were previously well-orchestrated and rather realistic, suddenly become laughable and ridiculous. Instead of killing Dutch, the alien doesn't seem to notice that he's there at all (problem of vision?) and when it has the possibility to kill him single-handedly, it doesn't. Why? I imagine that it's because the story has to end well and the hero must survive. Dutch also builds traps in order to kill his enemy. But just by watching his actions, I searched in vain, but I couldn't find the instruction manual in the scenery...Fortunately that "Predator" has a strong start, because the falling in the final act would certainly have annihilated it. Still, it's a good action picture that is worth seeing.
Anytime....
posted on 30 Mar 2009Classic Sci-fi Action Film:I first saw this film back in 1987, & was soon entranced by its SFX & action. This to me is Sci-fi Action film at its best, & one if not king of my all time favourites. So may time have I watched this movie, thrilling, loud, none stop action. If you are one of the unluckiest people in the world & have not had the pleasure viewing this movie, 'STOP!' go & see it, you will not be disappointed.I am a big fan of star 'Arnold Schwarzenegger', this film is definitely one of his better ones, with one of the most original & fantastic alien your likely to see.I gave this film a monster 10**********
One of the best looking hunters of all time!!!
posted on 27 Mar 2009What a superb film!!.What is better than watching some bad ass alien hunter walking around the woods hunting the main man himself Arnold Schwarzengger.This is Schwarzengger's best film,it has everything you need for a classic Sci-Fi(and some gruesome ways of killing people).I have just been reading the other comments and I agree with all of them.Definitely one of the best sci-fi's of the 80's Schwarzengger+Alien=Class Film 10/10
The Schwarzenegger's best movie...
posted on 24 Mar 2009What can i say...Mc Tiernan has invented Arnold, without this fabulous director arnold is just a lost austrian in america, with John McTiernan arnold has became a myth. But arnold is not the only advantage of this prodigious picture, special effects, making up, directing, casting...in fact everything's fine. If you add suspense and fear, you have the best arnold's movie. Far far away above cameron's true lies or milius's Conan the barbarian...
Spooky
posted on 30 Aug 2009Round about the time, Predator was competing with Aliens for top 'Beast' film, and in my opinion, Sigorney Weaver loses out. The Way the predator picks off the marines, and the spooky bits where you saw the invisible image of predator as it cloaked. I was Itching to see what it really looked like, and I finally did after it was injured in a gunfight. Arnold Schwartzenegger (Terminator, Kindergarten cop, Batman and Robin) acts 'Dutch' well and his marine partners are not bad. Their originally called in to rescue a couple of hostages who are treated very badly in the beginning of the film as we see, But the platoon discover a sinister thing out there in the jungle and when they find another U.S marine team skinned alive in the tree's. A woman they find, only speaks native language, and after trying to escape them twice, she starts to think again after she bumps into one. Arnie was good in this film and I still can't get over the strangeness of when you see 'though the predators eyes' A definite 'must see'
