A
few weeks ago I saw Predator at the Odeon as part of the Flashback
season.
I've seen it a gazillion times before, but this time, something was
missing. The end sequence features a gloriously cheesy cast montage.
An exact upload isn't on Youtube, but it looks a bit like this.
Notice
here the text including character and actor names. Also notice
inexplicable focussing problems that aren't evident on the DVD.
On
the vintage 1987 print I watched at the Odeon- which was VERY grainy-
the text was missing from this scene. Was this information added for
the subsequent video release?
Still-
an incredible slice of 80's SF action.
You
also haven't lived unless you've experienced these awesome reedits:
Predator
The Musical
I
never noticed this dance-off on the Predator 2 extras disc, but
apparently it's there...
And
here's how to make the Predator noise, according to a guy who could
actually have voiced the original Predator...
Aaaand...
an investigation into the phallic undercurrent of the movie.
There
are a few videos that Fox must have had taken down for copyright
reasons. It's a shame as they were some of the funniest, especially
the “Mack on crack” video. Stay tuned for these as videos do
reemerge, especially when they're popular.
