Predator


Photobucket

Predator! You sonofa BITCH...The lineup in this movie is the perfect mix of brains and brawn for a John McTiernan 100 page script that was most likely cut down to 20 pages of actual dialogue. When Arnie isn't struggling through multiple sentences as the C/O, he's rattling off catch phrases and kicking far more ass than that new no-women Dr. Pepper commercial. Apollo Creed is actually Carl Weathers since this is before Rocky and he's more raw, less ego-maniacal. What better way to measure masculinity than this? So complex, so diabolically clever and yet so simple: arm wrestle while shaking hands in that pseudo black guy handshake grip. If you're ever in a one on one strength competition and you find yourself winning here's your catchphrase: What's the matter, (name of loser)? The (name of the place that loser works) got you pushing too many pencils?
