Arnold Schwarzenegger's pose for the movie poster of "Predator" is almost an exact copy for the character's cover art on the video game cartridge and box art for the NES game "Contra". See more »

Blaine and Mac both use the M134 mini-gun throughout the first scenes combat scenes, which fires over 6,000 rounds a minute of the NATO 7.62mm round, the total weight of each shell being 34 grams, or just over one ounce. The combined firing time that they fire is nearly two minutes, meaning, the 12,000 or so of expended rounds would weigh about 900 pounds--a complete impossibility without a towed truck of some kind, and could not possibly fit in the small backpack he was carrying.

Alternate Versions
A limited edition DVD collector's box set of Predator including both Predator movies was released in the UK in June 2001. For this UK DVD releases, Fox used the same master as the heavily censored German version. Ironically, it was released uncut in Germany. The scene where Dutch throws a knife at the soldier and saying "Stick around" was removed. The scene where Dillon loses his arm was shortened. However, the UK video is completely uncut. See more »
If I had to recommend one film to a stranger, it would have to be Predator. It has some of the best acting, directing, effects and sound-track ever produced.
>This is Arnold's best acting roll in his career. But, we must not forget every other actor who produced spine-tingling performances! >The effects are simple, yet will last the test of time >The weaponry is huge! And will remain huge in my heart!
If you like 'war type' action you should love this. From the title screen the action begins, and does not end until the credits.
The sheer brute force of the story leaves one feeling truly satisfied, and even spiritually fulfilled by the end.
Without Predator my life would be incomplete. Stick around and watch this one people. If not, get to the chopper and announce your sins!
Thank you
