Topher Grace was literally perfect for that role. Did chuckle inside a bit when Adrien Brody reveals his abs all covered with mud lol.
That's the echo

My dad used to randomly take me down while walking somewhere, hold me in a chokehold and whisper this line to me.
C'mon...it's "I didn't....it because of the echo..."

Ha, that's awesome.
You're dad sounds incredibly awesome... or incredibly scary.
I text that line randomly to my younger brother... one of my favs.
i love the look on carl weather's face when mac gets done saying it... 'butbutbutididn'tmeantodoit'.
I don't think we will ever get a good Alien Vs Predator movie.
Unless John McTiernan and Ridley Scott team up
That would be the most amazing thing.
A truly great AVP movie needs to respect what defined both the Alien and Predator films. They also shouldn't show both creatures too much and make their encounters memorable.
Such a movie should basically do everything opposite of the god-aweful AVP movies.

I watched the Making Of Predator feature a couple days ago on a whim and I had no idea before then that this was the original Predator design before it was scrapped last moment:
Could you imagine? Lame as hell.

There's a vid on youtube with a bunch of commentary and yep, you're right.
There truly was a metric shit ton of testosterone and ego on that set.
iirc there was a part where Arnold was talking about how Jesse Ventura was bragging up a storm about how his biceps were bigger than Arnold's... So in front of Jesse, Arnold used a measuring tape that made it look like his biceps were smaller than Jesse's. So Jesse is strutting around thinking for sure he has bigger arms and back on set or some shit Jesse is spouting off again how he's the bigger man. Arnold calls out Jesse and wants to settle the issue in front of everyone. Jesse walks right into it and they compare arm measurements in front of everyone and to Jesse's surprise Arnold's are bigger. Totally deflated the dude. Arnold's a clever motherfucker.
I'm pretty sure Arnold got in Lou Ferrigno's head before the finals at Mr. Universe or something years and years ago. Just talking smack non-stop and getting Lou off his game and messing with his confidence.

Amazing move. Shame it was treated that badly when tranferring to Blu-Ray
There has been a lot of debate on this on forums like AVS, but supposedly according to the cinematographer (I believe), the Fox barebones Blu Ray release is very close to how the film actually looks. For example they reframed several scenes during editing by zooming in on the film stock (ex: Dutch jumps off the waterfall), so the grain/PQ looks very chunky and inconsistent, but it's supposed to (a lot of reviewers mistake this for a bad transfer, but it is not the most consistent or best looking film to begin with). The subsequent Ultimate editions were butchered with things like digital noise reduction. I personally have the Fox barebones for watching the movie and the DVD Ultimate edition for extras like commentary (which is excellent and informative by the way) and behind the scenes.
To clarify, you want this version purely for the most accurate look:

But who was the better politician hmm?
i'm not at all familiar with Jesse's stint in Minnesota and don't know enough to have an informed opinion on Arnold's time as the Govinator of Cali-forn-ee-ya.
Predator 2 is such a piece of arse compared to 1 it's not even funny
Predator remains one of my favourite movies of all times, and definitely one of the best action movies ever made. John McTiernan's talent is mindblowing, so much energy and ideas. The world has lost a massive talent, not only for action movies, but for cinema in general
I remember watching it at 9 for the first time, alone, in a dark room. The final, 30 minutes long confrontation scared the everliving shit out of me. The tension was unbearable, the sense of danger immaculate, Predator getting his mask off, the bridge scene...
fantastic movie, truly fantastic

Arnie's look in this is the male human ideal.
Just fucking look at this guy!

I still prefer the Xenomorphs a little more but the Predators have swag.
I could have sworn I've only had three beers. Is this real.

Best use of a song ever. I love this movie so much, I might just watch it this week. Just realized I have the fox barebones blu-ray. I wish it looked better, but it sounds like its the best that will ever be available.

I read Arnie's book and he completely admits to doing that. He enjoyed taunting his opponents. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
Also, Predator is awesome.
How many movies have not only aged well but almost become better with age than Predator?
Its "80s" in many ways, big muscular guys, military dudes in a jungle, one liners, but compared to Rambo 2 and 3 and others its not as cheesy as one would think.
I also cannot think of a single useless scene in that movie, everything has a purpose, its pretty much perfect for what it is. They spend some 4-6 min on the setup and immediately we go to the jungle and shit is on.
If Predator was a product of today, the movie would be a lot longer, and we would spend 20 min in New York with Dutch telling his family he has to leave, and his wife being unsatisfied, and how his son will miss his daddy leaving and other bullshit. In Predator, he arrives with a chopper "hey we lost these guys, go find them major!", "okay guy, hey Apollo you pushin too many pencils lol...anyway lets go!"

Damn, you're right. I never thought about like that.

a fourth predator movie with arnold and stallone would be awesome

Unless John McTiernan and James Cameron team up
A good AVP would probably lean more towards action than horror, which is obviously more of an Aliens thing than Alien.
Arnold is the GOAT.
Yep. There are films that are still great no bullshit action films, but the desire to draw in bigger crowds to make up for bigger budgets has homogenised most the major studios output.
