Arnold, so Arnold

Rating: 10/10 (17 August 2015)

I was still in high school when I first saw Predator, and it was almost as awesome as when Terminator 2 came out, almost. There was no political correctness back then, and Jesse "The Body" Ventura could say whatever homophobic comment that occurred spontaneously to him, with impunity, even though even then it made him look like a macho piece of trash. You shall enjoy intentional close-ups of Arnold's impeccable pecs, unabashedly Native American stereotypes (Billy's medicine bag and tracking abilities), African American assumptions ("gonna have me some fun, gonna have me some fun"), and even the token Asian from First Blood Part 2 ("You no expendable Rambo"), and still you will cheer Arnold as he fights the Predator. And finally, in your White, privileged, entitled and presumptuous world, you will undoubtedly endlessly repeat the choice sayings to your White friends and family members: "Do it, kill me I'm here," and, "Billy, what is it, what's out there?" And as you lay on your deathbed, you won't wonder about the racism and sexism you've promoted.
