"What the hell are you?"

Rating: Null/10 (23 October 2004)

This is one of my all-time favourite Arnie pictures, and I strongly recommend it. This one's being shown on TV twice this weekend because AVP has been released in the cinemas this week. I'd love to see that film but it's got a tough reputation to live up to.
Arnie, as a special forces leader, is great as are the other members of the group, especially Jesse 'The Body' Ventura as macho BS artist Blain, Carl Weathers as Dillon and Bill Duke as Mac. The tension hardly ever lets up as the alien Predator hunts the group. The Predator itself (the late Kevin Peter Hall) is a wonderful creation, truly menacing. He's certainly a match for Governor Arnie and the final showdown between the two is excellent.
I must give kudos to Stan Winston for the design of the Predator, and to Jim and John Thomas for creating the character in the first place. PREDATOR, and its' sequel, are films I will never get tired of watching.
