Predator - 30 year anniversary - re-release
« on: November 02, 2017, 12:44:55 PM »
Top 10 action movies of all time...?  Made me a Godd*mn sexual Tyrannosaurus!!  8)  And I f**king love Blu-ray....

"Predator review – Arnie's back, with a slice of classic 80s jungle alien mayhem
   
Arnold Schwarzenegger is a gung-ho special-forces commando up against a creepy extraterrestrial in John McTiernan’s rereleased thriller

If idd bleeds, we can kill it…” Arnold Schwarzenegger’s gung-ho commando announces his crucial insight in this classic slice of 80s action mayhem – now on rerelease – about a bunch of US special forces guys facing an extraterrestrial monster deep in the Central American jungle. The movie emerged 30 years ago from the deepest thicket of Reaganite America’s subconscious, just when the nation was anxious about Daniel Ortega’s Sandinistas in Nicaragua. The guys’ rude jokes, together with an apparently duplicitous female insurgent and the alien creature’s row of teeth may also point to a Freudian explanation.

In movie terms, it arrived via Jaws, Alien, The Terminator and Rambo, and recent comedies such as Tropic Thunder have paid affectionate homage to director John McTiernan’s unselfconsciously forthright style and his passionate love of automatic weaponry going off deafeningly and interminably.

Schwarzenegger plays Dutch, an alpha-warrior called in, along with a roistering band of brothers, when the government claim they need him and his crew to rescue some hostages from the jungle. But someone or something is flaying its victims alive. Dutch and his men find themselves being tracked by a creepy, murderous alien way up in the branches. Dutch isn’t going down without a fight.

Veteran screenwriter Shane Black has an acting role, as the wisecracking guy who loves bad jokes, the sort of character who is traditionally earmarked for an early exit."

No, but they put a musical number right in the middle of the movie and it’s fantastic.

I believe he did un-credited rewrites of the 1987 script.

I think that's why he was initially hired.

Great film.  One of his best.  I have it on DVD but will look for it on 4K and if not there get the standard Blu-Ray.

Jesse Ventura became the first actor in cinema history to fire a hand-held Gatling gun.

He mentioned in an interview that a power cord ran from the gun, down his pant leg, and to a prop guy out of camera view who touched the ends to a car battery to power the thing.


Bill Duke became the second actor to fire the weapon on screen, and Stallone would have been the third in the last Rambo movie, but the gun was too heavy for him. Sly reportedly was able to hold the gun, but couldn't maneuver it quickly enough for the scene's requirements.

Have to back you up there Brah - the escape from custody sequence for Rambo: First Blood, has to be right up there with the Mini-gun jungle clearing sequence from Predator....  good call  8)
