I'd really like to see some of the others on the ship in Pred 2, especially Gort. Somehow I don't like the idea of Predators not being linked in any way to Pred 2, when Pred 2 was obv a Pred 1 sequel. I hope to change that in Predators 2. It's a shame really.

side note: in the books and comic books the aliens are the ultimate prey, and the first hunt a pred goes on for them is a right of passage not for new bloods but for vets, once you hunted an alien you got the clan mark on your head making you an official badass and moving you into the upper cast of warriors, you also had to renew your mark every so often to show you still hunt them. The aliens where not made by preds but used by them and hunted for sure. Also once you had the clan mark you could join in on capturing queens and hunting them, the highest honor. Most preds didn't hunt queens on their own and only a few legends did so and lived. the stories in the books and comic books are awesome.

first not being able to cloak in water is a tech thing if one could do it all would and they need some kind of a weakness in their cloak. As far as females read the books, females hunt as well but in the books are larger than males and pick their mates based on hunting trophies and their own status. So basically a female with top standing will pick multiple males to mate with, however the clans rule, female's play a large role in the governing of the clans so they don't hunt as much. Hunting brings personal standing, honor, and where you sit with the ladies while also bolstering your clans standing vs other clans. Now what that standing dictates is hunting grounds as in first choice and so forth but also territory, some is worth more than others. Also one can challenge another for the right for specific hunting grounds. Normally more than one clan is on each ship especially alien hunting ships. In the books and comic books they don't have a temple on a planet they have a ship that flies around with a queen on bored tied up like yo see in avp forced to lay eggs and then they are loaded automatically onto pod ships and sent to planets with wild life. The planets with the toughest life is the most desired. Ritual combat between high ranking clans-a hero of each clan fights each other for the right to pick their planet. Also in the books you see where clans come together to capture queens on alien planets to be used to seed other worlds with specific wild life.

Hmm, that would kinda be lame since they released a comic and short animated bit about noland already. The little comic book that came with the first movie went over most of what happened already. The rest would be weak a lot of hiding scavenging and killing other humans while mainly avoiding preds. He didn't kill all 2-3 in a short time but rather over years. Imo they should pick up where they left off or simply continue with the two types of preds and their issues with each other, get more bAck ground on that mess. The books and comic books have a separate pred group known as bad bloods I think cause they don't kill for the hunt and clan/tribal stuff instead they do it just to kill and conquer. I was sad when avp followed the basic story of the books and comics but ruined it by putting it in modern day instead of the future. If you haven't seen the comics pls go find them. The main char ends up going with the preds and hunting with them. Eventually she goes back to humanity and then humans and the preds have to fight the bad bloods who come back after being banished with new tech and alien mixed dog things at their command. The books and comic books are way better. The original predator and predator 2 came from those sources, all other movies besides predators took the ideas and then messed them up. I hope they restore my faith in these movies cause the first 2 good and predators was good but lacked a little something, if I can put my finger on it I will make a post, still a good movie tho.

maybe we will see a movie where the engineer fights with predator in the next ten years???who know???

i want to go there planete,and go with arnold there to explore planet of they

probably just take on the type of attack like fifield did in prometheus. although it would be much more powerful andfast and everything, but it would make it more wild i guess

In pure hand to hand combat ? The predators can withstand lightning bolts and on the train he was shot repeatedly at close range with no damage but somehow a shotgun at close range downed him . Phew this is difficulty to decide . I'd say the predator might have slightly better chance .

what about a female predator. ? How do predators procreate ? Are all predators hunters or are some in their homeworld liketeachers statesman and such ?

Well if the predators use the xenomorph hunting as a coming of age / initiation ritual then maybe it simple economixs: the ampules is safer to transport and deploy. What would an infected predator turn into ? (by accident of course))

To all I don't think there could be any cons !!! The pros are more revelations of the predator species and their technology - homeworld exploration would be excellent !!!!

What must we do to see the predator homeworld for an extended period of time ? Their culture and their origins ?

Much better the world of predators how they live and hunt, the beginning of a young blood

Man who in the world cares about that dude? That would be such a lame movie. Especially if he's going to be by himself. I mean, if they do include others the movies still not going to be well because we already know how it's going to end. Noland survives and everyone else dies. There's really no surprise in the story line. I would like to see them pick up right where they left off. Only this time not one batch of survivors being dropped off onto the strange planet, but about 3. Up the ante for crying out loud, don't go back in time. That's so boring. Every movie is doing that shit already. They tell a story and then the friggen sequel ends up being a back story. So lame and old already. Keep moving forward. More People. More Predators. More! More! More!

but a inpredator 2 the predator got shot like 10 times and got up chased glover down then he slid down the side of a building with one arm and then healed himself and valiently tried to fight glover even though he had onl one arm. i think even an almighty engineer would have trouble fighting someone with one arm. so i wouldnt question their toughness. also, the shaw nearly managed to fight off a pissed of engineer before she released cuddles on him so i would say the engineer was bested by someone who probably wasnt as skilled a fighter as glover then. i thought this conversation was missing an adament amd serious comment;)

Yes, space. That's all I have to say.

LOL As Danny Glover won out in Pred 2, I don't forsee any problems for an Engineer!!!

I like AVP and the whole series but they should have used the ancient alien theory but only on a smaller level. To me the Engineers are the real ancient astronauts and the predators to me at least, are the ones that found out later that Earth has humans and lots of bio-diversity. They should have made them like a second generation of the ancient aliens that way it would describe the civilizations of the Americas better because their pyramids are similar. I own all the AVP movies ans all the Predator movies including Prometheus Blu-ray dvd. I collect the NECA action figures to both films also. I am a Fan :-)

Interesting to think about because I think they should make separate movies but stay in the same universe. Maybe have the Space Jockey's have some sort of role but do not show them...makes them keep their mysteriousness. I am a big predator fan since I saw the movie back in 90' or 91' but I am a very big fan of the Engineers from Prometheus also. It could be possible to keep the fact that the preds do hunt our fellow 'jockeys' but only show hints. The only thing I cant see is that the black goo only fell into human hands not the predators. They might find it too unhonorable to hunt because its a mutation thats artificial not natural. Who knows the black goo could be too powerful to use in a hunt because you could be the hunted.

^^^what Chris said up there... only advantage that the Pred has is his technology but in hand-to-hand Engineer wins... I hope so :P

I've not looked at any behind the scenes martial of any kind so I have no idea what they look like except from the figures. The falconer: [img]http://i801.photobucket.com/albums/yy299/damagecase1/001-7.jpg[/img]

I liked Predator 2. However, I feel it showed 'to much' of the predator itself. Like with Alien the mystery surrounding the predator was great and Predator 2 seemed to ruin that a little for me. But still a good film none the less.

Engineer, hands down if it came to hand-to-hand combat. Also, the Engineer was shot in the shoulder and barely flinched, in PREDATOR, the Predator gets a bullet in the leg and lets out a terrible scream as he rips the bullet out - insinuating great pain. I think the Engineers are by far tougher and more ruthless.

I think the engineer would last longer or be the last one to die.

i think they would kill each other, but the predator would die last. they are just to hunt so im guessing they are better fighters

@ Subject 13... I like the idea of a Predator lose in a city. In a jungle some animal killing things is part and parcel... In a city there are no dangerous animals killing people. I would have like to have seen another movie involving Predators having a picnic in a large metropolis....

As long as the film is good, I don't care who produces it or directs it. :)

I thought Predator 2 was a good film. Sure, it wasn't the same as Predator, but it was still a good movie.

As far as Nimrod returning; the first question should be asked "Will there be another film?" I think we can say safely that this franchise is dead in the water. Not since the initial release of the last film, has there been a lot of discussion with a sequel. Rodriguez didn't really seem interested when they asked him recently. More like a "Meh, we'll see" sort of attitude. He's moved on. I think Fox has moved on as well what with studio head changes. I think they want to tread in new territory and leave behind old franchises. Look what happened with Prometheus. I enjoyed the film, but the original intent was it to be a true Alien prequel. Instead they opted to go a truly original path with just a hint of the Alien. Clever. But that's just a inkling of how much they really don't want to bother with either Alien or Predator. It sucks, but I think we've seen the last of Predator and/or Aliens.

Sometimes as a Producer, one may have a lot of input on the film. Keep in mind that his horrid screenplay was the template used by Michael Finch and Alex Litvak for their script. It kept the element of an off world hunting ground but that's about it really. And then there are times where a producer doesn't really do much outside of just ensuring the filming is on schedule. Then the name is attached to sell the film. A lot of directors do a presentation of films they didn't make. I.E. Quentin Tarantino, Steven Spielberg, Guillermo Del Toro, Peter Jackson, etc.

That scene was awesome; spine kicking around, very cool....

I agree with you cuponator3000, Predator 2 was a good movie. I think there are two reasons why Predator 2 was so poorly received. First, Predator was such a great film. When I first saw the movie I just said to myself, "wow, I have never seen anything like this!" The whole feel to the movie is one of suspense and curiosity. What was this thing in the jungle? Then we get to see what the thing is and for me it was like, "awesome, this creature is f###ing amazing." So the problem is, if you are going to make a second movie that follows Predator, how do you recapture that "wow" factor. Predator 2 was unable to deliver and thus a lot of fans were disappointed with it. The second reason why Predator 2 was poorly received was because Arnie was not in the film. Danny Glover is a great actor but the star of the time was Arnie and fans wanting to see more of him. This is only my opinion of course; there may be other people out there who have a better theory....

yeah all the way i want Arnold back, what an ugly mudafucker...

All are great, but ultimate one is the ripped off skull along with the spine hh, VERY DEADLY

i just watched my predator again and decided that carl's death was a close second

i at least want to know the origin of the river ghost creatures. their heads remind me of the shape of the predator helmets and other than that, i just assume that they came from the same world or something

i have to go with predator, but predator 2 is so close to being the best it is ridiculous. i really love them both. predators was a good movie to watch every pnce in a while and has helped continue the series which is good

that seems like a concept for the alien creatures that were dropped on the planet like the human characters. it is ibviously much larger in this idea

i dont want more adventures on that planet, i want to see them get off and have it placed in space somehow

Tracker was my favorite
