From the outer reaches of space to the small-town streets of suburbia, the hunt comes home.

Alternate Versions

The Chinese version is heavily censored, and runs about 2 minutes shorter than the US version. It removes nearly all violence and gore, sometimes digitally erasing blood from existing scenes. In addition, nearly all profanity and sexual innuendo is either removed or alternate dialogue is used.

User Reviews

An Insult to the franchise

It is a parody of Predator. Don't expect science fiction or story line just a poor action comedy film.
