Predator

Several directors were approached to direct this film including Ridley Scott, James Cameron, Brian De Palma, Richard Donner, John Milius, John Carpenter and Renny Harlin. However, they would all pass stating they didn't want to shoot an Alien/Monster movie in the jungle. John McTiernan would eventually be chosen to direct this film instead.

When Dutch and his team raid the guerrilla camp, they are still looking for hostages, as they only know for certain that one of the captives has been executed (the one shot by the Russian advisor). Yet during their assault, they virtually raze the camp with reckless abandon, blowing up entire buildings without ever bothering to check if the hostages might be inside. It isn't until after the firefight that Mac bothers to look for the men they are there to rescue.

This has been listed as a plot hole although whilst potentially a character mistake it isn't a plot hole. The plot of the movie isn't broken because of the way the team attack the camp. All the hostages were dead anyway (even though the team didn't know it at the time), so in the end it didn't matter.

All the 7 main cast members re-appear in ascending order as their names are displayed to give a smile to the audience in appreciation.

In a version commonly shown on American television for a 2-hours-with-commercials time slot, all shots of the Predator's naked face and all instances of the Predator mimicking human speech are removed. The corresponding scenes are *not* removed for Predator 2.
