It’s time for a Monday movie monster and this one is one of my many favourites! It is the Yautja or known better simply as Predator!
The predator or yautja is a fictional extraterrestrial species that first appeared in the 1987 movie Predator. It is portrayed as a hunter that almost only kills if it will gain honor from it. For instance if a human doesn’t have a weapon it usually won’t waste its time trying to kill it. In the AvP movies it was revealed that the predators visited Earth thousands of years ago where they were worshipped as gods and used humans to breed aliens!
The predator has a appeared in a lot of videogames and movies since the 1987 movie. Lately people have begun associating this extraterrestrial with another, the Alien! This is because the popularity of the Alien vs. Predator games spawned 2 movies with this theme. I kind of liked the first AvP but I don’t really care about the second, maybe it just needs to grow on me, I don’t know! None of the AvP movies come close to Predator (1987) or Alien (1979) just to be clear.
I haven’t seen the new Predators movie yet, so I can’t really give my opinion of that yet guys!

i remember that thing, what suprised me was the digital crap and tools he had in his forearm
SvarSletOne of the most badass movie monsters of all time for sure.
SvarSletI really enjoyed the "Predators" movie, it's worth a watch unlike the previous movie...Robert Rodriguez's as producer was a great asset...Troublemaker Studios did an excellent job in enviroment development. :D
SvarSletPredator always scared the crap outta me. I heard the new one was meh. Like the iphone game though. hmmm, how 'bout any the monsters from the 5th Element. A tad obscure though.
SvarSletI haven't seen the predator movie either, but this history about them makes me want to see it!
SvarSletLove predator
SvarSletThe new Predators movie is pretty good: #1>#3>#2.
SvarSletI'd breed with that thing. sounds hot.
SvarSletThis monster has very much god-like talents. Invisibility and its awesome pin-point laser machine. this monster is great.
SvarSletthat costume is hilarious. definitely reminiscent of late 80's films
SvarSletPredator is definitively my favorite 80's action flick. "I 'aint got time to bleed"
SvarSlethaha remember, alien vs predator. such a classic!
SvarSletHave you heard about Jupiter's moon Europa, or read the NASA Event where they are gonna talk about new evidence that will impact the search for extraterrestrials?
SvarSletI love the Predator movies - never knew their 'name' before - thanks. I love monsters in general. It's the wackos wielding knives and axes like leather face that freak me out...this being the year of the zombie it's been difficult not to mock them -- too slow and mindless to fully feel the horror...
SvarSletPredators are awesome, I really want to see the new movie.
SvarSletBoth the Alien and Predator series were awesome... not so much when they were put together though... just my opinion.
SvarSletyeah!! it's about time you got to the predator. god bless him, and his manly looks. haven't seen the new movie? probably not missing much...the goodness ended after the first!
SvarSletI really don't like the new movie but I think you should see it to have your own opinion ;)
SvarSletNice monster!
SvarSletI always thought the Predator was great! Nice image. :)
SvarSletWatch the new predators movie, if you enjoy previous films, you will definitely enjoy Predators
