Predator 3 ('Predators' apparently)

[upsidedownwalrus]

I hear a rumour that Neil Marshall (Dog Soldiers, Doomsday) is set to direct.

*Please Neil don't waste your top-rate B-movie talents on this*

AVP was far from beyond redemption. The fights between the preds and the aliens were cool. The explanation of the ancient civilisations worshiping preds and offering themselves as sacrifices so that the predators could prove themselves wasnt bad, and was put on screen pretty well.

Everything before the humans meet the predators, and everything after it being just the woman and one predator being left alive, was shit, as were all the human charecters, the plot and the acting. And the fact that it was set in a really cold place (since when do predators go to cold places?) really irks me.

But anyone who thinks this fight scene is anything other than really cool is a total prick. Which would seemingly be all of you.


AVPR really did suck 100%, though.

I did like the bit explaining the history of the two species.

I think they should bring Bill Paxton back for the film. He's the only actor who has been killed by an Alien, a Predator, and a Terminator.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1424381/ Directed by Robert Rodriguez. Due 2010.

Personally I am looking forward to it. I'm a sucker for the whole Alien and Predator franchise and as long as the Predator's character is not cocked about with too much then bring it on.

Rodriquez directing? This could be A Good Thing.

[Jon-of-arc]

Ohh, but I am looking forward to Predator 3. 1 & 2 are both very cool movies, with some brill lines

"Bunch of slack-jawed faggots around here. This stuff will make you a god damned sexual Tyrannosaurus, just like me"

&

"Billy. Billy! The other day, I was going down on my girlfriend, I said to her, 'Jeez you got a big pussy. Jeez you got a big pussy.' She said, 'Why did you say that twice?' I said, 'I didn't.'"

&

"Hey Billy. Billy! The other day, I went up to my girlfriend, I said, 'Y'know I'd like a little pussy'. She said, 'Me too, mine's as big as a house!'"

&

"He's on safari. The lions, the tigers, the bears... oh, my!"

&

"They say you want to talk to me. They say you offering me favors. Tell me why, Babylon, Mr. Policeman."

&

"Tony Pope, live with Hard Core. On the scene and in your face, it's like Dante's Hell down here. Smoke, fire, oppressive heat. As columbian and Jamaican drug fiends once again transform the streets of L.A. into a slaughterhouse! Who the hell's in charge down here? The cops? Uh-uh! They're outmanned, outgunned and incompetent! Mr. Mayor, on vacation at your home in lake Tahoe: Get off your butt, get down here and declare martial law!"

Anyways, I could go on, but this movie has so little yet so much to live up to...

I guess the two AVP films were so dire that this can only be, at least, better.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

While Predator 2 wasn't a patch on one, it's one of the best films ever compared with AVP

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Oh man what the fuck you done to your name?!

again, fuck that man. I rate predator 2. It's a cool movie. it's funny, and such a total departure from the first one, yet remaining true to it as well.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Pred 2 is a bit crap but RD is right, AVP sucks donkey balls man.

 

[Jon-of-arc]

No way, pred 2 is awesome. Gangstas who snort massive piles of coke whilst engaging in full scale gun battles with tough cops who don't play by the rules, "fuckin' voodoo magic, mon", the subway bit, gary busey, the meat factory scene, the right-wing tabloid TV journo, the alien in-joke at the end. Oh, and a predator. What the hell else do you need?

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

As I said - not a patch on 1, but it was decent enough. A zillion times better than AVP

 

[Jon-of-arc]

I'm gonna have to represent here - Pred 1 is not as good as pred 2. Pred 1 is a mostly mindless action film crossed with a very cool horror premise. That premise is implemented with varying degrees of success - it excellently builds the tension, then goes a bit silly with their attempt to catch the predator, then gets a bit better but offs most of the cast in about five mins. The last 20 minutes or so with only arnie left is dragged out way too long to little effect. Overall, its a good movie, and its a piece of my childhood in a way that predator 2 is not, but upon a fairly recent re-watch of both, I gotta stand up for number 2.

I will argue this until I am blue in the face.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

An interesting enough line of argument to make it worth a rewatch...

There's no stoppin' what can't be stopped, no killin' what can't be killed.

I think that says all that needs to be said about Danny Glover. He's still acting, ffs!
