why no predator 3  ? From what I've read it was mainly due to not being able to find a suitable actor due to height. Kevin Peter Hall stood nearly 7 foot 3, and it was right after Predator 2 that he died after a car accident that lead to a blood transfusion, that blood was contaminated with HIV, and he died soon after. Predator 3, now could happen if FOX just gets a script they like. One big rumor, was that back in the 90's, they wanted to do a Predator 3 based on the Elder in Predator 2, about how he got the pirate's gun he threw to Danny Glover's character... which was eventually turned into a comic released in a Darkhorse book that contained several stories. |

I saw it tonight, and I have to say I was underwhelmed. It was better than AVP.

just saw it....didn't care much. It was supposed to be Aliens vs. PREDATOR...not Aliens vs. PEOPLE. It suffered the same thing that Transformers did...just far too much human interaction. (though TF kicked ass overall). I felt that the Aliens killing pregnant women/babies was terrible and not entertaining in any way. Maybe because I have a 4 month old, maybe because I just found out my sister is pregnant....regardless...i felt it was in bad taste. I just wish there would have been more Predator in action against the damn Aliens. 55 out of 100 IMO and I'm a huge fan of both series. I'll honestly say I liked AVP better than AVP:R.

yea those comics are my favorite i liked batman versus predator i used to always draw predators Batman vs. Predator was SICK! The second and third series were okay, but that first one was AWESOME. From the AVP Galaxy forum, Members submitted questions to Colin Strause, one of the brothers who directed the movie...
Q-For Colin: If you were to have had a much larger budget, what would you and your bro have added or made differently? Q-How's it feel? You've finished your first movie...big stuff and it's out today. Excited? Scared? Q-Colin, if the opportunity arose for you to do the third Alien vs Predator, would you bring the Alien back to its beautiful bio-mech roots? Q-Hey Colin, what was your most favourite scene in the movie? And why'd you like it? Q-Thanks Colin (and Greg) for making a AvP movie that worked this time and actually had a heart. I liked a lot of the human characters. Did a lot of character moments get trimmed for pacing? Q-Why did you cut out characterisation? The film desperately needed it. We weren't given enough anchorage to care. Q-I got a question Colin: Why was the predalien's implantation method fast? It only took about 5 minutes, and than the belly bursters came out. And another one, the predalien grew up to fast, it took about 15 seconds the most. Q-Hi, Colin... just wanted to say congrats on your first film. It was a lot of fun, I really enjoyed it. You guys were spot-on with how an AvP movie should feel. I only hope you guys will be able to make a third one... in outer space... what I've been waiting for for almost fifteen years. My only question: How much money do you think this movie has to make before the studio considers making another sequel? I hope you can answer that question, I know it's a rather controversial one. Thanks Colin! Q-Looking back, do you think you should've tried for quality rather than quantity when it comes to fights? Having lots of fights is great, but when they're all two minutes long at most it looses a certain je ne sais quoi ... |

I enjoyed the movie, but it was real dark. It was hard to see what was going on on-screen at times.

adam bombs correct about them not having a predator 3 due to the actor for the predator itself. But in AVP, they had one guy at 7' something and 2 guys at 6'8 - 6'9. only to make them look the same height, they had the main, tallest predator behind the other two for the scenes where they're all together and you can see them. this was to make them all look even in height.
but i like the concept of this one. the single predator taking on aliens. it makes it so much more creative. - - - like the main storyboard in AVP, three teenage trainees(predators) take on a crap load of aliens to make their way into adulthood, and to show they're capable of the tasks to be a warrior. if dying on the mission, they're considered heros, while survivors are announced warriors - - - anyway, the idea for this one is great, one taking on a bunch, i feel its the same story as avp 1, the training solder takes on the aliens to get welcomed as a warrior.
anyway, if that didnt make sense, i'm sorry for my wording.

As much crap as people gave AVP, I liked it a lot. It was nice seeing more than one Predator, and in the beginning, I truly thought the one that ended up being nicknamed Celtic (the one who used the net gun on the alien) was going to be the main badass. He had all the right skills, the fancy map, directed the other two around... but just feel short and got offed. Did you mean the main Predator in AVP:R is training? Because I've read he's an older more experienced Predator, who has been in his fair share of hunts and battles (as noted by his acid burned face, and all of his weapons, trophies, and helmets in the scene before he leaves for earth). I'd assume this guy is part of an arbitrary caste in their society, the reason I said people needed to read comics and novels to better understand this movie, is because they help set up their races cultural standings; which they described as some Elders being bored by the hunts and breaking away from their clans to become a kind of police. Hunting down 'bad bloods' (Predators who are criminals, often killers of their own kind and don't follow any rules), and cleaning up accidents - which is where this guy would fit in. |

I liked the second one. Not the greatest in the world but it topped number 1. I hope we get a third or a Predator 3... something in space damn it!

Can anyone tell me what the nick names for the three Predators in the 1st AVP movie? I've heard Wolf is the nick name for the lone Predator in the 2nd movie.

The one who marked himself is referred to as Scar, the one with the net gun and the badass mask is referred to as Celtic, and the one with the huge blades and skull rig on his back is Chopper - sometimes called Gill because of his masks design. Also, a lot of people call Predator 1 Anytime because he plays Mac's voice back to lure Dillon saying "Anytime, Anytime" - Predator 2 is often called P*ssyface because of one of Glover's lines. The reason most of these names exist, is because the crew and directors named the costumes/characters on set. And you were dead on with the Wolf name; another name on the AVP:R set was the Predalien's name, Chet - a reference to Pulp Fiction. |

His main reason of being there wasn't to hunt them, it was to clean up the mess, and stop a hive from forming... hunting was sort of secondary. As far as his weapons go, he might have known the crashed scout ship would have some weapons on it. All I basically remember him taking was the shurikens and a shoulder cannon.

Is the PredAlien a cross between a Predator and a Queen alien?
Also, why do some of the aliens (i.e. Alien 1, 3, Res, & AVP 1) have the smooth heads and some (i.e. Aliens & AVP:R) have the rigids heads? The rigids heads look like the Scorpion Alien action figure heads
