Robert Rodriguez's PREDATORS Movie Thread - SPOILERS

[Predator vs. Alien]

How brutal does it look on-screen??

 

[bandito]

ripping it from a distance (pred. around 2/3 of the screen, quite dark).. brief close-up of the spine and skull

 

[Predator vs. Alien]

Ok cool. Why are there so many decaps in this movie??? is there a YouTube video that shows it??

 

[MaxSchmerz]

brutal enough. Cause the one who gets his spinal ripped off is still alife during the act. If I remember right!

Holy crap.......that would really suck. Poor classic

 

[MaxSchmerz]

As I said...if I remember right. But it looked that way.

I believe its Stans who they are referring to, not the classic predator.

 

[bandito]

injured/dying/immobile on the ground as the spine was ripped..

 

[bandito]

classic pred. got head bashed and beheaded..... same fate as perpetrator (but he suffered more)...

 

[Predator vs. Alien]

Damn, this movie sounds so awesome. I won't get to see it till the 15th, is there a video on youtube that shows the Classic beheading??

One thing I couldn't quite figure out and I won't go into specifics so this will just be for those who have already seen the movie but why were there 3 shots from the Preds shoulder cannons and all had different results. 1 completely exploded the target, one immobilized but left the target conscious and the other shot in a similar location knocked down the target but still left him mobile? This was so different from the shots we've seen in P1 & P2 like the Ventura kill shot or the Poncho head shot. I guess they can control the shot or the power of the shot maybe?

Remember classic jumping Mr black when in cloak? How would that work when they can see in infra red?

Ahh, but how would they see each other

I believe Stans had armour that he got (stolen) from Noland's place that took the direct blast.

That's another scene that threw me because it didn't seem that as bad-ass as Mr Black was he could get snuck up on like that even when cloaked.

Its a spoiler thread therefore you dont have to use spoiler tags.

But I dont completely understand. Classic was cloaking and Mr. Black didnt see him?

 

[laudel7]

Spoiler

I could understand the fire disrupting his vision, but classic being able to jump him because he was in cloak was a bit when they see in heat vision, and also Nolan was apparantly there and they didnt see him because he was in cloak...surely they would see his heat

 

[bandito]

Ahh, but how would they see each other

They do see a range of the visible or non-visible (to human eyes) spectrum including infra-red.... Assuming the cloaking device mask all that range he would be invisible.

 

[fawk3s]

In script, Nolan was wearing some sort of animal skin that blocked the body heat. Dunno about the movie though. Havent seen.

As for theorizing, their cloaking was described as "its somehow able to bend light" in P2. Now that would have to be the visible spectrum of EM, maybe the UV aswell, but definitely not IR and presumably lower frequency EM waves. If IR was bent away from them too, they wouldnt be able to see.
