Trivia

According to director Paul W.S. Anderson, if they'd filmed in Hollywood, the sets would have cost them $20 million. In Prague, they only cost $2 million, an important factor in keeping the film's budget down below $50 million. See more »

Goofs

Factual errors: Lex says that the pyramid would be directly underneath the whaling station, but the hole made by the predators is at an angle that would put the pyramid almost 3/4 of a mile away from the whaling station. See more »
