If you add that up it doesn't even come close to 86 million —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.185.41.21 (talk) 00:30, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: "There math?"  Someone needs to check their grammar.  Similarly, this might surprise you - but internationally there are more countries than Australia, Japan, Russia, and the UK. 71.145.153.72 (talk) 10:27, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, 71.145.153.72, it's a spelling problem, not a grammar one, lol.--66.69.214.69 (talk) 14:50, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No, its a grammar error.  He hasn't spelled the word wrong, he's used a correctly spelled word in the wrong context, as in: "I didn't do nothing" versus "I didn't do anything".Icemotoboy (talk) 04:07, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

message: This was not a critically well received film - 15% at RT means that it pretty much received five negative reviews to every positive one.  If the lead was going to be "balanced" then that's the ratio we should use.  On that basis, the 2-1 ratio of negative to positive reviews is more than fair. Black Kite 01:00, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: IMO the lead paragraph should stick to a general summation ie. "the film was poorly received by critics and grossed $____". The actual quotes & review scores should be saved for the "Reception" section. The lead paragraphs are supposed to be an introduction; the details should be in the other body sections. --IllaZilla (talk) 02:56, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Is there any way we could get the brand of memory or monitors they used?
I'm pretty sure the directors themselves wrote this article 2601:18D:87E:10E0:8936:2D1D:2129:3D68 (talk) 03:48, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

message: Can anyone see this film? I can't believe there is nothing in the article about the lighting in this movie. 79.66.8.137 (talk) 12:21, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: If you dared to write a comment like "most of the film has a poor lighting" or "some critics have pointed out that the film is too dark", then in no time some nitwit would come along and tag your edit as being unsourced, or requiring a citation, or worse, delete it. This Encyclopedia doesn't trust its own editors, only trusts any soul that has managed to put such comments into a printed publication, or into a website regarded as a 'reliable source'. That steel-armored policy just might be necessary, but I'm sick of it. --AVM (talk) 20:06, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

message: The lead-in paragraph needs a section which summarises the plot in a single paragraph. The 'plot' section is too long to act as a synopsis.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.46.49.45 (talk) 08:44, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The lead could probably contain a couple of sentences acting as a synopsis. I've seen this in a number of other film articles. --IllaZilla (talk) 14:43, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

message: Just noticed that in the trophy room in the opening sequence, there is not only a Space Jockey's skull on the wall, but also that of a Triceratops, indicating that the Predators have been around for at least 65 million years... -- Imladros (talk) 06:08, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

message: Not sure the comic stance on Female Predators (or if they are both male/female), but the concern of the one Predator over the other when it reached earth seemed more of that of a parent, almost like a mother. Seems since they haven't been identified male or female, perhaps it should be referred to as it until clarified. 96.31.181.147 (talk) 05:02, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The writers & production staff refer to it as "he" throughout all of the interviews & special features. AFAIK no female Predators have ever been shown in the films. --IllaZilla (talk) 10:05, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: As I said, "throughout all of the interviews and special features". Buy the film on DVD or Blu-ray and watch the special features for yourself. --IllaZilla (talk) 06:26, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Predator not a He but a She? 

message: Ok. A facehugger jumps Human and the resulting Creature is a Warrior. Not a Hybrid. A facehugger jumps on a Dog and the resulting creature is a Runner. Not a Hybrid. But when a Facehugger jumps on a Predator it's a Predalien and for some reason, just because it's a Predator, the resulting creature is now a Crossbreed... What? --Werebereus (talk) 04:18, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: "Warrior" and "Runner" are behind-the-scenes, fan-type terms. None of these terms are used in any of the films. "Hybrid" distinguishes the Predalien (another behind-the-scenes term)—which is a fusion of the two titular characters (Alien and Predator) and the only one of its type in any of the 9 films of the combined franchises—from the standard Alien "warriors" that we see see in all of the Alien and AVP films. Note that we refer to all of these others simply as "Aliens" in the various plot summaries, as for the purpose of the franchise they are essentially the default form, but in the context of this film it is important to acknowledge that the "Predalien" is unique from the numerous other Aliens in the film (there is no need to distinguish the "runner" Alien from any other Aliens in the context of describing the plot of Alien 3, as it is the only Alien in the film). --IllaZilla (talk) 04:27, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: There aren't fan type if the Merchanidise and games use them all as well. And that has nothing to do with anything. We call the Runner "Dog-Alien" and Chet "Pred-Alien" but not the Warriors "Human-Alien". Its NOT a hybrid, no matter what anyone says. It's an alien, it just has a different host, big deal. Werebereus (talk) 03:55, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The creators of the film treat it as something unique from the run-of-the-mill Aliens that we've seen before. I have never seen "merchanidise" or games that say "warrior", "runner", etc.  on that, please. It is, in fact, a hybrid, though if you want to be a fanboy about it then all Aliens are hybrids in some way. But certainly this one is intended to be distinct from the others and a blatant combination of Alien and Predator characteristics (just look at the thing). In fact I bought an action figure of it at Comic-Con a couple weeks ago and on the back of the box it has pictures of all 3 figures in the AVP:"R series and it labels them "Alien", "Predator", and "Hybrid". So there's your merchandise for you. --IllaZilla (talk) 06:33, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: You clearly haven't played many games then. The newest and oldests game distinguish between many types of aliens. There's no such things as a "run of the mill" type. And look here:

message: Doesn't it seem confusing that the character of Mrs. Yutani isn't mentioned till the very end of the plot description—and then, not identified? — Preceding unsigned comment added by AndyFielding (talk • contribs) 05:14, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: AHA!!!  Confusing?  Perhaps!!!   Your comment is an excellent and accurate observation.   The whole movie is one confusing, badly written mess.  Maybe somebody can find some published source that discusses the disjointed, confusing plot elements of this movie?   Marc S.  206.192.35.125 (talk) 12:51, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
