Hello! I maybe able to assist. I have built 4 suits for myself and clients and have many connections to other suit builders. Cheers!

I can bet these posters can get more juveniles in theaters to see The Predator than the official marketing campaign.

Look up Scott Marshall, Josh Jones and Lee Hurley... they are some of the Predator suit builders. Go from there.

That's awesome.

Thanks for sharing.

It does set up an interesting plot if a sequel is done.  Who are the predators that are helping earth and why?  There's never been much of a back story in the movies about the predators but this is unique.  Hoping that there will be a sequel.

On another topic--Man... The more images I see of the Fugitive Predator, the worse I feel about his demise midway. It was liking offing Bryan Cranston after the first act of Godzilla '14. That Predator really needed to "stick around" throughout the film.

"At least it's not Deceptive as the ONE Alien Covenant poster."

Umm, Idk by what you mean deceptive BigDave, movie posters are just for marketing purposes and don't necessarily have to tie into any scene from the film. Even the poster for the 1979 Alien had the cracking egg that's absolutely nowhere to be seen in the film. 

From my point of view, the poster for AC (the mural one) is symbolic and shows the dominance of David's creation, the perfect organism over other life forms. And that's his plan as he explained in advent "My creatures will be set loose, to rule this galaxy." He pretty much wants to press the reset button to the whole life in the galaxy.

Back on the Chinese Predator poster, it's much more cinematic than the other posters and I'd love to have that one as a Blu-ray cover.

Thanks, Chris.

Interesting but does give too much away... but then anyone who has seen the Trailers would know about the 10ft+Super-Predator

At least its not Deceptive as the ONE Alien Covenant poster.

That's awesome.

When the poster is better than the movie.

I am hoping the daylight fight will be on the blue ray. Thanks for sharing Dark Nebula!

Brilliant! Just front paged this. Thanks for sharing Nebula! I agree I wish the fight had been as epic as this poster portrays haha

Hey, maybe they will release in China the initial version, with the scenes shot in daylighr. I think that one could be actually better, plus they might censor some of the jokes.

Thanks, Dark Nebula.

Here we are on the way to play spider solitaire online free games as these games are amazing games available in the best quality at different attractive levels. Also by visiting here you can have lots of fun and joy.

I'd like to think water is an added challenge, to make the hunt more interesting.    If not...Where is the challenge? Superior weapons/superior tech....yawn!

Water is the most abundant resource on this planet: Hence, your suit will be susceptible.

The water factor brings up some great questions.

It seems cloaking too much could affect the Predator psyche- too much cloaking didn't work out too well for Gollum.

Seeing how quickly McKenna mastered the cloaking after he swallowed the device we have to ask: is cloaking a voluntary process or rather an involuntary one like a chameleon does change its color to match the surroundings?

And if it is involuntary,  triggered by a certain state of mind, the fact that it does not work in the water could mean they feel comfortable in the water, like crabs do. Also, when they are confident they can overwhelm their victims they do not use the cloaking.

Wasn't the metal ball that McKenna swallowed in the Mexican pub the cloaking device? He became invisible to the bartender.

Now that you mention it, water affecting the cloaking technology raises a funny question. 

So the high and mighty superior Yautja stealth technology is useless in the face of a humble water-sprinkler defence perimeter.......

XD   

Granted, the water sprinkler isn't going to help from getting your ass handed to you once you have detected said Yautja. But still, an odd technological weak-point for a species that apparently likes hot and sweaty 

What little I know of the tech, taken from what we see in the movies, especially the first is...

# When perfect still the Predator does appear 100% Invisible, but if active when the Predator is moving the effectiveness drops, creating a ghost effect.

# The Technology is negatively impacted by water, which seems to short out the mechanism of the technology, drastically reducing the cloak's effectiveness.

# Many have speculated that the cloaking field is generated from the Predators various pieces of armor and the fishnet undergarment the alien hunters seem to also wear.

# Though contradictory to what we see in the first movie, some video games have included the mechanism of automatically decloaking whenever the Predator uses their Plasmacaster (shoulder mounted gun).

I'm sure there is more info on Xenopedia.

As interesting as the cloaking technology is, I have always wanted to see a Predator go old-school, using mud, grass stains and foliage for camouflage, possibly even with old-school weaponry...

There could be different endings or rewards depending on how often cloaking is used. Using no cloak except for scripted/required parts would yield the best rewards/ending. Using cloak all the time would get a "meh" ending.

I'm in for the practical effects, but not in favor of an alliance between predators and humans, at best they have to ignore humans when not killing them in self defense,  like the fugitive predator did.

Even the scene from Predators, when the captive predator allowed Royce to escape using their ship seemed far fetched.

Generally, a Predator who can cloak and wears cammo seems pointless.

Agreed, I wish they had remained included as well. I'm sure they could've pulled off the army fatigues look.

Honestly wish they were in the film so we could have had more practical Predator action. Though these creatures in US military fatigues is pretty silly looking.

 The Black one surely looks like the Sangheili (Elites) from the Halo Universe, especially if they already had the back-curved legs. 

It is really funny to see the studios ripping off the ones who ripped them off!

All those "concepts" are as bad as the Robocop3 flying thing.

Please let them stop there with one at the end of the movie. 

I was rather disappointed with this ending, I was hoping for a female rebel predator or something else

The dumbest shit ever to be introduced in a Predator movie.

He has very human-like teeth, a neat way of showing he is part human

I re-evaluated Predators today, seeing it again. I think it is the most faithful to the original one. It has a good script (even a quote from Hemingway blended naturally within the dialogue), it has a coherent and simple story,  building suspense, good cast. And the predators in it match the highest expectations. Just like in the beautiful pictures of this post.

Like David would have said: "That's the spirit".

This film has become a favourite for me.

See it again, especially now.

Did anyone else notice that the ultimate predator was mumbling all the time? Walking and mumbling. 

After the second viewing it is clear the Fugitive Predator was extremely disoriented like he didn’t know what to do all the time. Maybe it was the human DNA or the fact that he did not properly recovered after being heavily sedated. He was indeed more of a warrior than a hunter, but a warrior that only wanted his gear back and then to be left alone.

I guess he grabbed McKenna by the neck only to get back the magic sphere than made him invisible.

He only killed in self defense.

How extraordinary for a predator. He was a lovely guy compared to the ultimate predator.

When the ultimate predator used the english translator and told the Loonies he'd give them a head start before terminating them, man, that was hilarious. Later he was on fire, coincidentally or not there was a pond of water nearby in which he fell so the fire was put out. At the end of his life on screen there was another explosion that should have disintegrated him, but no, he was still in one piece and alive but heavily wounded because it was McKenna who had to smite him and mock him for good.

It felt like watching cartoons, but not the good old Disney's. 

This film definitely addresses to a much younger age group than the one I am in.

Anyway, after the Fugitive Predator premature death everything is just funny looney tunes.

There are many aspects to this film I liked.  Additional background, the different story arcs, the cast, the ships, the equipment, the action.  I hope Fox/Disney makes the right choice and does a follow up film but its hard to say.

There are some saying that the Predator killer should have been Dutch, Harrigan or Royce.

As for the Black Goo in the pod, it, and likely Prometheus' black goo is s actually taken from an unused idea from AvP, in which the predators would use the black goo for hypersleep - there was to be scene of a Predator emerging from a pool of black goo in AvP's opening scenes, it is mentioned on the bonus DVD for AvP

I think everyone can personally choose what to ignore from Canon..... i dont think this movie would get removed from Canon by FOX.

I have yet to see the Movie... so i cant comment much about it, and its why i have ignored related Posts so as to not get too spoiled..   Sadly it seems the Writers just cant make a Good Story that does the Alien and Predator Franchises any Justice...    But then its a case of can anyone make a Predator movie or Alien movie that is going to please EVERY fan?

I cant say if The Predator is a Prometheus kind of disappointment to some fans, or a Alien Covenant kind of disappointment to some fans... or even a AVP disappointment to some fans... SURELY it cant be a AVPR disappointment though ;)

"sloppy editing"

Prometheus had bad Editing... but most of this was Fault of RS/FOX i would say The Predator is not at such a Fault.... its Editing was a case of various Re-shoots and Scenes they had NO CHOICE but to cut out.

We have to WONDER what kinds of U-Turns in Plot was made to the Movie that Warranted a number of Changes, and it would be interesting to see how  Close the Movie is compared to the Drafts just prior to when the Production/Shooting was given the Go Ahead.

Go and watch it , you may like it , this is just my opinion after all 

Agree about support. Although I can't see it yet, I did buy 4 tickets for others to enjoy. Support is support I suppose.

MonsterZero go and watch it, and enjoy.

I'd most definitely watch again over punching myself in the face XD

Uggh..going to stop reading these forums! Lol!

Off to watch Predator tomorrow......But these posts don't help! (Staying home and punching myself in the face sounds about as much fun as this movie!) ...but no...I'm going.
