Solaris_Wave Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) I'm glad they didn't go with the original design either! The Predator from the sequel looks different enough to stand out from the first one and his expanded arsenal of weapons went a long way to being the reference for the computer games. Some people still criticise the film and say that Danny Glover is no Arnie. The thing is, I don't think he ever tried to be. The only indication that the main protagonist was meant to be a big guy was when Ruben Blades' character says to Glover, "You couldn't lift him up there!" or words to that effect, when they see bodies have been hoisted up to the ceiling. The animatronic close up of the Predator's face is dated, in my view, and was probably never needed. Other than that, I think it is an excellent sequel and an important part of the lore. It is just a shame that the sequels had to alter the species and create…ahem, Super Predators. Also, the Alien Vs. Predator films could have been so much better. At the very least, the first film could have followed the novel's setting. The second film could have been a lot easier to see visually and the PredAlien Queen was a silly idea because its incubation method did away with both the eggs and Face Huggers. Not only that but the chest bursters matured and hatched too quickly (in both films, for that matter).

LoboNocturno Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Its not a movie but a very interesting documentary about Nigerian pirates, actually the Legion`s should be also looking similar like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Hannibal Smith Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 THE mercenary movie classic and obviously an inspiration for the setting of JA3. Ahh, the old times... When the trailer didn't care about spoiling and showed the whole movie... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solaris_Wave Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 I haven't seen the Extraction movies yet but The Wild Geese is an excellent movie with a great cast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taurean Posted July 11, 2023 Author Share Posted July 11, 2023 Recon most people have seen it, but i recommend Leon: The professional. A few cringy scenes but overlook that and it's a decent mercenary movie. There is an extended version too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoProGratis Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 That's some hard nostalgia zone in here. The Predoator Helicopter Scene? Damn, when I was thinking about JA3 intro I was hoping for scene like this but with "Ready or not" song in the background and the helicopter being taken down by rocket so we end up with random shortages on inventory. I never watched the Predator tho. The Shadow Warrior daaamn I was watching this movie as a kid and had a dream that I was in there with them, that was very fun dream 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he is not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol.. hmm, how can the police deal with that, in that situation.. sometimes you simply can't. Better to swallow a neutral loss and have a chance later than getting killed outright. The police did the right thing. One can think, why didn't they simply toss a grenade in the group .. it's not how it works .. if you move your hand towards your pocket, they shoot you. You get 1 chance, nothing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
