The reason this film resonated so much in the 80s is that after watching Conan, Terminator, Commando, etc we had seen Arnold as the biggest, toughest guy out there beating up EVERYONE. Then along came the Predator who was bigger and stronger than him, who picked him up with ease like a rag doll, and smacked him around. It was a serious "WTAF?" moment in the cinema when we saw it.

Jessie Ventura (the guy with the chewing tobacco) would annoy Arnie by finding out what time he was going to start working out and getting to the gym 10 minutes before him, splashing water on his face so it looked like he’d been working out for ages when Arnie showed up and stayed in the gym until after he left.

Don't talk about that movie like it's a thing. Not only does it do a grave injustice in terms of depicting both species properly, it's a straight up *BAD* movie. That film is shunned by nearly all fans of both franchises, to the point that is *officially* "not canon".

@@bensnod9159 just because I took a cynical tone doesn't mean I don't have a sense of humor. Plus, just because it exists doesn't mean we need to respect its existence... It's been disowned by both franchises. Alien 3, Alien Resurrection, all the Alien prequels, Predators, and The Predator (ugh) were all better movies. AVP is worth skipping in favor of AvP:Requiem (not without its own, different flaws- but these are of much lesser severity), which depicts both Xenomorphs and Yautja with much more respect to their lore in comparison... Predalien reproductive abilities being the big exception of course (made for a pretty good horror gore scene though, but it makes me think the writers hate children)
