Corrected entry: Towards the end of the movie, when Anna is now trusted by Dutch and the team, Anna tries to help by wanting to carry a weapon. Dutch warns her not to carry a weapon because he's figured out that the Predator does not think it's sporting to kill an unarmed person and said this why the Predator did not kill her before. Since Dutch believes this, he should have ordered his men to drop all their weapons and then they all could simply walk out of the jungle safely.

Predator (1987)
Correction: Billy puts this theory to the test and proves it to be false. He chucks his rifle and all of his ammo and gear away, and faces the Predator with just a knife. Even though he technically disarmed himself, the Predator still considered him fair enough sport to kill and take his skull as a trophy.

Predator (1987)
Corrected entry: Throughout the movie Dutch is referred to as Major, and Mac is referred to as Sergeant, yet when Mac runs up as Blain has just been killed, he yells "Sergeant" as he begins firing at the Predator.
Correction: He doesn't say "Sergeant." He says "Contact", meaning he's spotted an enemy.
Correction: I'm looking for an explanation of why Mac yelled, "Sergeant," because I turned on closed captioning and that's what he said, not "contact."
At first I heard "sergeant", but after replaying it a few times, I heard "contact." The first syllable you can hear the 'kän sound but he fades off and you don't really hear a hard "takt" sound. It should be noted that Blain's rank was sergeant.

Correction: There's a difference between "unarmed" and "disarmed". If they'd never had weapons, then, by Dutch's logic, the Predator wouldn't have gone after them. If they'd had weapons but disposed of them, that makes the men foolish prey, but still fair game.
