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

Goofs

Towards the last section of the movie, Nettles clothing keeps changing. One minute he has a red checkered shirt on, the next time he has a brown combat shirt on. This wardrobe mismatch goes back and forth numerous times.

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

Fans of the original movie, please avoid this. Absolute trash!!

What a train wreck of a movie!! Absolute garbage. Dumbass story, crap actors, one stupid decision after another, really generic and bad background score. This was disrespectful of the predator franchise. Forget the first two movies (this isn't even on the same continent as far as quality is concerned), even the AVP series was better. And the jokes...OH MY GOD THE JOKES...totally forced and lameass.

Anyone with even a shred of attachment to the legit classic that the first Pred movie was, kindly save yourself the trauma and avoid this one.

Shane black - can you please not direct any movie again? Pretty please?
