After the exciting build-up and demonstrations of truly scary prowess, the creature inexplicably resorts to fisticuffs. No Contest. The movie was filmed in Mexico near the popular beach resort of Puerto Vallarta , on the coast miles west of Mexico City. Baxley and his team rigged up the system, which was designed "to put the audience in the middle of the action".
The rig was tested with a crew member, and found to be satisfactory, but it behaved rather more erratically when the much heavier Arnold was strapped to it. Those impotent guns, like the physicality of the cast, are ultimately irrelevant: Arnold ends the film as a primitive jungle warrior. He even gets a Tarzan roar. And this is where we finally get the full reveal of the Predator, played by the late Kevin Peter Hall.
But the creature itself was the one thing that hadn't been fully developed prior to shooting. I have a picture somewhere of someone actually Jean-Claude Van Damme, in an early, pre-Bloodsport role from which he either jumped or was pushed in this ridiculous red lobster suit.
Dutch, choppered off into the sunset, has survived being battered, bloodied and nuked, but what happened to him next? Which was a shame. This is expanded in the novelisation, with Keyes recalling speaking to a radiation-poisoned Dutch in hospital, before Dutch escaped, never to be seen again. There were three of these stories, which never reached a conclusion. But a cliffhanging cameo from Dutch was originally mooted too. He'd have arrived at the end of the film on a Predator ship.
We may never know Read Empire 's review of Predator. Arnold Schwarzenegger: the definitive interview. Commando: the complete history. As an unidentified interstellar spacecraft penetrates the Earth's atmosphere, landing somewhere on the tangled jungle of Central America, the battle-hardened leader of an elite military team, Major Alan "Dutch" Schaefer, and his hand-picked men begin to deploy to the region.
Entrusted with locating a cabinet minister and eliminating the area's scattered guerrilla pockets, before long, this routine rescue mission turns into a bloodbath, as macabre findings of ritualistically mutilated bodies can only mean one thing: someone, or better yet, something, is hunting them down for sport. Now, outgunned, and above all, outmatched, Dutch must put his extensive combat experience to good use, and summon up the strength to make a last stand against the pitiless, highly advanced extraterrestrial hunter.
But, the major's primitive weaponry is no match for the humanoid creature's state-of-the-art armament. Is there an escape from the wrath of the Predator? Dutch and his group of commandos are assigned to rescue downed airmen from guerillas in a Central American jungle. The mission goes well but as they return they find that something is hunting them.
Nearly invisible, it blends in with the forest, taking trophies from the bodies of its victims as it goes along.
