Predator
Considering all the obstacles that the cast and crew of Predator were up against during its production, the finished product could easily have been an unwatchable mess. Instead, it became a classic.
There are some incredible behind-the-scenes stories, a handful of truly knockout action set pieces, a subversive undertone we might have missed as kids, and one of cinema's most memorable movie monsters at the center of it.
Topics include: the original concept for the film's title character and how it nearly derailed the entire production, whether or not Billy was intended to be the main character at one point and how that might have helped the film, how little we actually learn about the creature and the strength of that simplicity, all the Alien vs Predator crossovers and the wasted potential of those films, and much much more!
