Let's consider what this movie predates (pun intended)

Rating: 5/10 (23 April 2006)

The 5/10 rating is of course because "Predator" is only intended for Arnold Schwarzenegger's hard core fans; the arty crowd will consider it worthless. In this case, the future Governator plays Maj. Alan "Dutch" Schaeffer, leading a platoon into a jungle to stop a rebel army (har har), when they get besieged by an alien. Naturally, the movie is mostly an excuse for Ah-nuld to be as much of a bad-ass as possible.
Of course, there's also the one-liners. Most famous is Blain's (Jesse Ventura, also a future governor) "I ain't got time to bleed", but there's also "Knock knock" after Dutch breaks into a rebel tent. It's weird to think that Elpidia Carrillo went from a dead serious, pro-revolutionary movie ("Salvador") to an Arnold Schwarzenegger vehicle.
All in all, we can probably all agree that this is nothing particularly special; mostly two hours of Ah-nuld kicking booty (and anti-revolutionary, just as Reagan probably liked). But as long as we understand that that's what it is, then there's really no harm done. Also starring Carl Weathers.
