I know Kevin Peter Hall is no longer among us, but surely they could have found someone nearly as tall as him!To celebrate its 30th anniversary this year, Predator is back in cinemas in November 2017.

A really enjoyable read that,thankyou.
I remember watching Predator at a midnight premiere at the Odeon in Birmingham.I came out of the showing with the same smile on my face as I had,after seeing Die Hard for the first time!
Think I’ll book a ticket, leave the wife at home and reminisce!

And yet, for quite unfathomable reasons, it has a 40 score on Metacritic

I think when it first came out the critics were not that impressed.http://www.metacritic.com/movie/predator
However as time has gone by, it’s become a classic compared to so many also ran movies in the same genre over the 30 years.
As was mentioned earlier in this thread, it’s easy to see the hand of mcteirnans masterful directing in most of the movie.
I was shocked to learn it was the 2nd unit director who managed the scene in the geurillas village at the start of the film. As you watch it back, it’s so easy to see the poor quality of the static shots, compared the the brilliance of some of the wide to close panning action in the rest of the film under mcteirnans direction.
