From the depths of the Mexican jungle, an elite team of special forces are sent in to rescue hostages, but unbeknownst to them, they're the ones who are being hunted.

Predator, originally known as Hunter, was a spec script by brothers Jim and John Thomas that was slid under the door at 20th Century Fox, and ended up being sold without an agent or a lawyer. While its premise changed slightly from that initial iteration, it did under the weight of its star Arnold Schwarzenegger, who would be a huge muscular manly macho man, but also an every man.

Casting of Vietnam veterans aside, this is a movie steeped in Vietnam imagery, the traumas of conflict, and a commentary on masculinity.

But mostly it's just an excuse for some really buff guys to show off their incredibly big and powerful guns (not at all a penis metaphor), but one buff guy was let go in the middle of filming, and there are at least seven reasons why Jean-Claude Van Damme is not in this movie...

If it bleeds, we can kill it.

I would love to hear your thoughts on Predator (1987) !

Verbal Diorama is now an award-winning podcast! I won the Best Movie Podcast in the inaugural Ear Worthy Independent Podcast Awards recently.
