In terms of how the actor who played the predator died: pneumonia was often what AIDS sufferers died from back in the day. After all, you don't die from AIDS itself, it just lowers your immune system so that you're more susceptible to things like pneumonia.

[@daveyjones5702]

@druidofscosglen2868 why? the giant pandemic that would kill half the planet by the 90s never happened. clearly aids is not the threat we once thought it was. i don't suppose you remember who it was that preached the end was nigh that time? hint: it's the same guy who championed a cure that had the disease it was supposed to cure listed as a side effect...

[@daveyjones5702]

so, what are they dying of today?

[@shanester1832]

It was so sad when that predator gently passed away in your store. I was really hoping you guys would keep firing for way too long. I was dropped off opening day, 9 years old. I left the theater with hair on my chest and an insatiable hunger for tobacco. The commercials didn't give away too much, action, jungle, guns and a scorpion. When that spaceship flew by I knew it was gonna be awesome. The soundtrack is killer! The theme, that jungle drumbeat pulsing in is such a trademark sound. I can only think of those reverb pings in Goldeneye as something so bound to a movie's sonic atmosphere. The whole movie is just magical dude fuel. We need more Mctiernan movies in the world.

I’m with Tony on this one….as a kid, me and my friends would play Predator out in the woods by my house with our toy guns. We’d even play it in the winter at night…in fact, there was one week where we had off from school probably for Christmas break, and we’d all rendezvous at our friends’ house and watch Predator…every day that week.

YES, Predator is def the most manliest movie. I can accept Jingle All The Way being someones favorite Arnold movie... it's stupid fun and very quotable. Predator and Terminator 2 would be my 2 and 3 respectively, but the best Arnold movie is Total Recall..... incredible action, violence, Sci fi elements, a well-written story with twists, and it's just as quotable as his other best movies. Great review as always!!!

I'm in agreement, it's easily the manliest movie ever with Arnold/Dutch's primal roar (calling it a shout is just too weak) sparking that instinct of manning the fuck up to take on what's coming at you, the fear is gone and it's pure, raw determination to see it through to the bloody end.

When humans are finally gone from the face of the planet and future archaeologists dig up the remains of our once great civilization- I only hope that no other movie made by man is ever found.

[@shainewhite2781]

My number 1 favorite Arnold Schwarzenegger movie of all time! Facts you didn't know about the movie: Jean Claude van Damme played the Predator in some parts of the movie but quit production as he was tired of wearing the original suit which looked like a giant lizard insect hybrid. He wanted to kickbox Arnold but the producers refused. Stan Winston Studios designed the PREDATOR suit for the movie and would return to the franchise for PREDATOR 2 in 1990. Kevin Peter Hall, RIP, 7'2" was cast as the titular alien as he was more of an intimidating opponent for Arnold's character Dutch Half the cast and crew got food poisoning except for Arnold and Director McTiernan whom ate Spaghetti O's and PBJ Sandwiches. Arnold would later hire his own personal Chef to give the actors the food they needed. Sonny Landham RIP whom played Billy hired a bodyguard to protect people from him as he was on prone to violent outbursts. Landham said in an interview that "We weren't making a movie, it was a survival story for all of us." It was 110 degrees in the shade while it was 42 degrees at night. It rained for 2 weeks making filming even more difficult. The film was a box office success making $100 million dollars ($350 million dollars today) against an $18 million dollar budget. It was nominated for Best Visual Effects but lost to InnerSpace

Predator/II has a feel unlike any other movie I have seen or seen since. It's not been replicated with modern sequels and it probably never will. It took risks, and in those risks created tropes still used in movies, but hollywood today do not take risks to create, it just keeps trying to capture what other movies have already did.

[@whatistau]

That "Virginity" joke is underrated

[@blankdisk5]

When the Predator says, "What the hell are you?", I think he means it. Like he's snarking back to Arnold, "What am I? What are YOU?" Predators seem very self-righteous to me, like spoiled kids. But it's definitely up for interpretation since it only repeats what others have said, but I always felt like that particular predator had a basic grasp of English, and probably Spanish too.

[@ZombieWilfred]

Great point you make, and to add to your point (or just clarify, if you'd thought if it and not spelled it out in your comment,) it's a great point that the Predator makes. We think of the Predator as a monster, but he's not killing his own kind for no good reason like we do. Just like Ripley's point to Burke about xenomorphs in Aliens.

Requiem isn't poorly graded or lit poorly, it looks exactly how its supposed to look.

Its only terrible on the DVD or some garbage SD source. You can actually see things alot better in the blu-ray.

[@ZombieWilfred]

I agree. It's a pet peeve of mine when people make this particular complaint about certain movies, when those movies are actually being more realistic with their lighting and people should really be complaining about how you can see too much in other movies when they're showing what are supposed to be dark settings... I get people wanting to be able to see everything, but that's just not realistic at all.
