So many good stories in this...
Fuck yes. "Kiss my balls" is my new mantra, JVCD FTW. Also, that picture of Jean Claude Van DA GAWD Damme with the Predator arm sitting beside Carl Weathers missing his arm is one of the best Hollywood pictures I've ever seen in my life and dreams.

Yeah plenty of cool stories behind this classic film. The behind-the-scenes set pics are cool too! As a visual artist since childhood this is one film that captivated my imagination, first watched it at my aunt's house on VHS when it came out in the 80's. I had no idea Van Damme was in this film til now.

Here's a cool live commentary a group of movie fans did recently on Predator https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0FXnbLkV_M" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

At least the actual predator itself looks good.

Hated the super variation ones from the last movie.

Big improvement over the first trailer and the leaked one from a few weeks ago:

What an entertaining mess.

Nothing about it made any sense whatsoever, but as long as there are Predator dogs, I am so fucking in...

the new Predator movie was fucking awesome.

not perfect, but it was motherfucking raw, and brought some new shit to the table that was enjoyable

gory as fuck and funny as FUCKING HELL

ain't mad at that movie at all. they don't make action films like that much anymore. it's something to admire

guts hang out

I really liked it too. Some of the plot points were irritaring and the ending was cool but odd. It felt like big chunks were edited out that would have helped flesh things out. Works best as a direct sequel to the first one plot-wise. Definitely the best Predator movie since the first 2. Fingers crossed for a directors cut.
