Predator (Special Edition) (DVD)

...rambling, the point is that Predator has finally been given a bit of respect. Quite simply, this is one of the finest action films of the Eighties: an awesome, pumping, powerhouse of a movie so singlemindedly brilliant it should be shown on national TV every Saturday night. Unlike other action greats that are remembered for redefining the rules (The Terminator, The Matrix etc...), Predator's beauty lies in its simplicity. It's Alien in the jungle, ...
...and lurks in the shadows, Predator roars, stampedes and goes straight for the action-jugular. This time the creature's prey are not a bunch of unprepared, ill-equipped, deep space salvage workers but a highly trained, supremely well armed military rescue unit who are sent to the jungles of New Mexico to find a missing US cabinet minister. Which they do, except that when they find him he's hanging upside down from a tree with his skin flayed off. ...

Review of Predator (Special Edition) (DVD)

...the weapons and of the Predator itself. Visuals I don't know if any work was done on the film before it was transferred to DVD, but the visuals are very clear, and it's only the opening shot of the 20th Century Fox logo that appears dodgy. (McTiernan explains in his commentary that it's because 20th Century Fox refused to let him use a Widescreen version, so he had to stretch a "normal" version). Director's Commentary While offering up lots of ...
...characters who they were. Predator Effects Some of the footage used to produce the Predator camouflage effects used in the move, including footage of the red suit which was used to separate the actor from the surrounding jungle. Outtakes and Deleted Scenes Four different snippets - one deleted scene and three outtakes. Predator Profile A small photo gallery dealing with the final design of the Predator giving little snippets of information ...

Review of Predator (Special Edition) (DVD)

...Kindergarten Cop. The film predator (no not named after a football boot) is a classic 80s violent action movie. It should look dated, but thanks to the remastered DVD it is as fresh as a fish from Grimsby docks! (Sorry had to quote where I come from... not the docks but... oh never mind!) It is an 80s classic - that remains a modern classic - due to the enhancements made to it. It mixed 'commando' type films with 'alien' science fiction to acheive ...
...the man who in both predator films was the preditor! We learn how the giant of a man was a lovable, soft caring chap. Sadly you learn he has since died. His huge size on screen certainly made Arnold look like a lad working behind the counter in McDonalds! It is quite amazing to see what he had to go through wearing that rubber suit. Camouflage - This is a feature on make-up. We hear from the make-up artist who explains how difficult it was to keep ...

Dutch (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and his crew of special forces are sent in to a South American Jungle, along with his ex-member Dillon (Carl Weathers), to rescue some men from a helicopter crash. They storm a Guerrilla ...

Review of Predator (Special Edition) (DVD)

...the films about The movie predator is about Dutch (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and a bunch of his commandos are hired by the CIA to go into to a central America and rescue people from the guerrilla fighters. But while they are there they encounter something more deadly than that, the fearsome Predator. The Predator is built for fighting it can not be killed by any man-made object such as guns knifes. And he is invisable which makes him the perfect Predator. ...
...like all the weapons the Predator uses. Its really well done Whats good about the film? The way that it is made. Arnies acting skills are quality and make the movie even better. Since the movie was made in the 80's it hasn't really dated and its become a all time classic. If we were to do it again some effects might be better but it can never be topped. The way the director (McTiernan has added in the music it makesit seem more scary than it is. ...

...the jungle to safety. But Predator is always watching them. I won't tell you what happens at the end as i won't want to spoil the film for anyone who has not seen it. But i thought the ending was a bit predictable. However all in all i found it as a brilliant film, as the plot was clever, they had the best actors they could have for the job. Brilliant huge guns and ace gun scenes as well. Highly recommend watching this film even if you just rent ...
...on the second disc it will show extras from the film such as what the original predator was supposed to look like and deleted scenes from the movie. It will also tell you how the came up with the idea of a predator and how they did it. ...

...a really great score. Predator is an original idea and is really quite imaginative with special effects that are eyte catching even by todays standards. The dvd itself is far superior to the one disc version and is packed with special features and making ofs. The packaging is cardboard fold out so will get tattered but the content is well worth the £8 that you should be paying for this product (shop around). There are also docus, featurettes, commentaries ...
