9. 3/10. Possibly one of the best of Schwarzenegger's career. The idea of this alien hunting these mercenaries in the jungle for sport intrigued me. I liked the look of the alien as he was a mix of both scary and kick ass warrior. He really gave Schwarzenegger a run for his money. If anything, more movies should've done like Predator, sadly only Nemesis 2:Nebula followed this great idea. My opinion on Arnold Schwarzenegger's 10 Best Movies:1. Terminator 2:Judgement Day,2. Conan The Barbarian,3. Total Recall,4. Predator,5. The Terminator,6. Twins,7. True Lies,8. Escape Plan,9. Terminator 3:Rise Of The Machines,10. (tie) Conan The Destroyer/Kindergarten Cop/Jingle All The Way/End Of Days.

So this didn't really work for me. The Predator is a cool character on its own, but is not strong enough to support the rest of the movie. I did not care for really any of the characters; there was not a lot about them to get invested in. I was slightly invested in the character Mac, and the main character Butch, but only because of the charisma Arnold Schwarzenegger brings to the role. The biggest problem I have with this movie is the Alan Silvestri score because it does not match the tone of this movie and takes away any tension that the movie is trying to build.

Casual Person

Revealing mistake: As the Predator tends to his wounded leg, one of his claws can be seen bending as if made of rubber.

Trivia: Jesse Ventura could only carry enough blank ammunition to fire "Old Painless" for five seconds even though the props department had dramatically reduced the cyclic rate of the weapon to allow the camera to film the barrels rotating.

More trivia for Predator

Question: Why did Dillon really want Dutch and his team to go to Val Verde? He says it was to locate a helicopter that was shot down and to look for Hopper but, after the successful raid, Dillon is seen looking through some papers, so he wanted Dutch there for some other reason.

Answer: He wanted Dutch and his team to help him retrieve the intelligence documents he was rooting through. The Soviet officer shot by Dutch ("Knock knock!") was also looking at the same documents and was planning on moving them out of the country. The story goes a CIA operative was carrying intelligence and was shot down over Val Verde by the guerrillas who are aided by the Soviets. Dillon sent Jim Hopper and his Green Beret unit there to rescue his men and retrieve the intelligence but they were ambushed and killed by the Predator. Believing Hopper and his men were killed by the guerrillas, Dillon felt he had no option left but to hire the best rescue team he knew to complete the mission. Dillon knew Dutch didn't do this sort of black ops work so he lied to him and made up the story about rescuing a cabinet minister.
