    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Although no mention is made in the movie, the character Keyes played by Jake Busey is the son of Peter Keyes, the government official from Predator 2 (1990) who died during the hunt for the Predator. Peter Keyes was played by Gary Busey, who is Jake's father in real life as well.
    • Goofs
      The first Predator in the movie comes to Earth to deliver a weapon for Humans to defend themselves. It then goes on to kill almost every Human it comes in contact with and makes no attempt at communication.
    • Quotes

      Casey Bracket: [In a lab filled with lab workers, as the Predator is laid out on an examination table] Why do you call it "the Predator"?

      Traeger: It's a nickname. You know, the data suggests that it tracks its prey, exploits weaknesses. Seems to- well, enjoy it. Like a game.

      Casey Bracket: That's not a predator, that's a sports hunter.

      Traeger: Sorry?

      Casey Bracket: A predator kills its prey to survive. I mean, what you're describing is more like a bass fisherman.

      Traeger: Well, we took a vote. Predator's cooler, right?

      [Rest of lab agrees]

      Traeger: Fuck yeah.

    • 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.

    An abomination
    Predator killer? Franchise killer...then again it died after Predator 2. As an original fan that has got to be the biggest, most disjointed load of tripe l have ever witnessed. I don't want to watch Aliens or Predator as a comedy. It's meant to be an action sci-fi horror. I'm not sure what Shane Black was trying to do here but it was awful and he should never be allowed near the Predator movies again. So much potential to be great but sadly a steaming pile of disappointment.

    • Why is Traeger all of a sudden wearing sunglasses when entering the Predator ship?
    • Is this movie a remake of Predator (1987)?
