You got Predator 2 that came out in 1990, you got Alien vs predator that came out in 2004, than you have Alien vs Predator Requiem that came out in 07, than you had Predators that came out in 2010 and than you had the last one (The Predator) that came out in 2018. Its a shame they couldnt get Alien vs predator right since that was a big promotion in Dark Horse comics for years. The only one I like out of the rest besides the original is Predators. Now Shane Black, who starred in the 1st Predator, he directed "The Predator" that came out in 2018. Now if im not mistaken..his idea for what he wanted to do with that movie as far as the script is not what was produced. And he was ticked off by that. He wanted the movie to be an "event" and bring it back to that suspense/horror/sci-fi that made the original great. So basically..we didnt get the predator movie that he wanted to make

      There's nothing routine about surgery performed to save car accident victims, least of all in '85 when Harry & the Hendersons was being filmed.
      Contracting HIV from blood transfusion was relatively common in the 80s and early 90s, because we didn't have a good way to detect HIV in donor blood.
      He managed to live 6 years after contracting HIV which for the time was quite a long time. Thankfully today HIV isn't a death sentence.

      @culcune Před rokem +9

      A friend of mine, an artistic genius worked for Winston on this film in our senior year of high school, but our high school would not let him take the weeks off school to go on location. He also worked on Beetlejuice in our senior year (both were 'after-school jobs' lol). Through him, I got to meet several of the FX artists who worked on this film, as well as several more who he worked with on later films. Unfortunately, I had/have the artistic ability of a garden gnome, so I could only live vicariously through him, and not work with him, but I am happy for my friend's success in the industry, and a few of the people he worked for and with, a few who went on to win Oscars in effects.

      Arthur Ashe became the first (and remains the only) African American male tennis player to win the U.S. Open and Wimbledon singles titles. He was also the first African American man to earn the No. 1 ranking in the world and the first to earn induction into the Tennis Hall of Fame. Always an activist, when Ashe learned that he had contracted AIDS via a blood transfusion, he turned his efforts to raising awareness about the disease, before finally succumbing to it on February 6, 1993.

    Kevin Peter Hall was amazing human, but even more amazing Predator... RIP Kevin, I hope you receive the respect in the heavens that you deserve

    That suit was probably extremely horrid to wear all day. But he is one of the most iconic movie monsters ever. Everyone knows the predator when they see it. Nobody could play that part better. RIP to KPH

    One of my absolute favourite films of all time. Sorry Kevin is no longer with us. I always wondered who played the part of the Predator. Awesome character made possible by a great actor. RIP mate.

    Do anyone remember Harry and the Hendersons. A 80's movie. He was the actor playing Harry the Big foot creature.

    This guy did such a great job in that role. The movements he had looked so natural and so alien at the same time. Really well done.

    He was such a gentle giant, yet he nailed how terrifying the Predator is, R.I.P. Kevin.
