    The Actor who played the Predator was the late Kevin Peter Hall who was a towering 7'3" tall. A year after he finished filming Predator 2, Kevin Peter Hall died on April 10, 1991 (A month short of his 36th Birthday) from AIDS-Related Pneumonia after contracting HIV from a blood transfusion during surgery for injuries he sustained in a car accident.
  • The Predator Honor Code is a set of beliefs and values that guide the behavior of the Yautja. These beliefs are deeply ingrained in their culture and are passed down from generation to generation. Yautja warriors are expected to conduct themselves with honor at all times, even in the heat of battle. The franchise gave fans a deeper look into how the Predators choose their prey as well as how their hunts are conducted. One thing that has rung true from the very beginning is that the Predator's code of honor which states that a Predator must only kill worthy prey.
  • Hey, Ryan! I watched this one twice, but got distracted every time I wanted to type a comment. Great reaction and loved that you liked the film so much, especially going in blind and all. I remember renting it waaay back as a kid and just being amazed by so many things in it: the action, the guns, the humor, the monster, you name it! Not without reason is Predator up there with Rocky usually considered as "the manliest movie ever made", haha. The first part is definitely more action or even comedy oriented but later it goes more into horror/sci-fi territory, as you noticed yourself. I swear it was not my intent to make this a habit but: best jumpscare, when the Predator shoots his plasmacasterfor the first time while your best line is either "Well, let's hope the hostages weren't in there." or "That's the line!", haha. However, you seemed most uncomfortable with that scene of Mac shaving himself! And to answer one of your questions that picked my brain: according to other media in the franchise, the plot of this film happens either in Guatemala or Venezuela. However, a popular fan theory is that it is set in a totally fictional country Val Verde, which Steven Souza, a very prominent 80s Hollywood writer and producer, would use as a placeholder whenever he needed to plot to be in Central or South America. If you have not, I would definitely suggest Commando as a must-watch 80s action comedy, since it also stars Schwarzenegger, was written by Souza and is set in Val Verde.
