NECA: Predator Movie Franchise Figures

[jye4ever]

Mac's death is the worst the movie has to offer, way worse than angle of gun or shirt/harness.

Other than Mac the movie is perfect.

It isn't, it's fine, refer to my previous post.

that's the Mac head effect explanation.

Mac's forehead isn't seen there no matter how you raise the light.

Mac's skull with a forehead hole probably stands later in predator's collection. (of course it could be from previous team)

that was mentioned more times than i said that Neca predators are way too short.

I was about to post that

A small tidbit I noticed when setting up one of my Ult.Jungle Hunters for the scene where he takes out one of his skulls and strokes the brow - his collection doesn't have skulls with lower jaws attached. So I sliced the jaw off one of the skull accessories we get with the figures.

 

[P.]

I was about to post that

yeah, i tried the same some time ago - to see if a skull hole matches Mac's enter wound. nothing is seen.
and again, if a predator can adjust properties of his blast (and he definitely can, examples throughout the movie), Mac's head woudln't explode.

this is explosion:

but, as Mac's head remained round, it means what we got was a splash of inside liquid. like on a can picture i posted above.

Only Yautja's can't take skulls without lower jaws as it's against their code of honor in the comics.

So Predator's triple laser blast rips off Dillon's arm and puts a hole the size of Trump's ego in Blain's chest but it only leaves a small entrance wound on Mac's forehead!

Not buying it lol

What? Hey P.



Grab this guy, I can't believe he brought up jajujas

Don't forget leaving Poncho's head intact and giving Ahnuld a horribly gory superficial arm scratch.

I didn't even know there were people who interpreted that scene wrong until you posted that same issue in this thread a while back IIRC and everyone told you the same thing

yes, predator's plasma cannon can either wound a person or break a tree in half - and all effects in the middle. it's an energy weapon, and energy weapons often can change their charge in sci-fi, and predator's gun definitely does it, according to movie effects.
i think i can even find pics in my photobucket, used years ago in the same conversation on another forum.

knowing Gaspar's comments about jajujas, i believe it should be read as "only jajujas are so sunk in code-redtape that they are forbidden to take the skulls however they want and are obliged to keep the jaws"

===========

if somebody wants to bring up a "mistake" about Blaine hit through the body with a backback intact - don't. i have photos for that, too

=============

while looking for cannon shots photos, found this in my collection: Schwarzenegger doesn't like jumping from waterfalls.

(as i recall, green marks pointed that Dutch's hair should be shortcut and wet, and his vest looks a lot smaller on him than on a double or on a doll in that scene)

 

[a-dev]

Yeah I agree that it definitely seems like the Predator can modulate the strength of his shoulder cannon. Video games followed that idea.

 

[GasparZizou]

It is also a great honor for Yautjas to eat cajun wings and suck the bones clean, you may think it is easy, but it's very challenging for them as they don't have lips, it is a great honor to achieve this, as seen in the water and dirt comics.

I would agree had they not shown Mac's head splosion turn the entire screen red.

But... Blood.

You can have a fountain of blood with mininal damage to ghe skull, have you ever seen ISIS videos?

 

[Kaiju]

That was the exit wound POV though. The entry wound could still be small in the front.

I was a medic for 20 years lol

also brains. and probably spine parts, as the shot went into the upper half of the head - and could go out that place where the head attaches to the spine, where bones are thinnest.

i do hope that as a medic you didn't shoot through people's heads.

===========

found those pics of plasma bolts.

1.
doesn't even kill a rat (who is seen through holes in a log - or between logs).

2.
doesn't crack open/melt the head.

3. goes through a skull.

4. breaks metal joints.

5. burns through wood.

then there is a final shooting in the end of the movie where trees fell.

So how can you even argue about that? you must know even a tiny cut on the forehead can paint your whole face red.

I've seen people puke more blood than that scene IRL and live to tell the story.

 

[jye4ever]

But Predator was pissed off at Mac for injuring him so why would he just put a 22 caliber size hole in his forhead.

He would blow his head off!

But yes heads do bleed alot lol.
