The Last Emperor - a great movie in it's own right, but no Predator.

Never seen that film, but I'm guessing I should have.

Great articel Greygoose, thanks for posting it.

Thanks bud.

You can imagine my excitement in the supermarket whilst flicking through the magazine and seeing a Predator article.:eek
Grabbed the article from their site though. It was easier than scanning A4 pages.

that 12" P2 was early 1990s. don't remember when that 18" P1 came out, but probably around the same time.

Predator Stuff has a pretty good database to look through.

I saw Predator for the first time on TV with my Dad at the age of 7/8. It was always shown on TV and we recorded it onto VHS so I watched it alot growing up. I remember trying to buy the dvd at the age of 16 and being refused because they asked me for I.D as I said I was 18. It's something I've taken from my childhood into my adult life.

lol, me neither

very, very first time I saw this, I was probably... 5? I don't know, I know i was staying at my grandma's house she got this movie, Only reason she got it is because it had Arnold lol!
without knowing, my grandma, my aunts and me started watching it, the movie scared the crap out of me, at first since you couldn't see him i thought it was a ghost or something lol!
then when you see him i was like
finally, the reveal of his face, yeah It totally stayed with my mind,
i was to small to understand everything, but, yeah, that movie stayed in my mind,

Re: The all new PREDATOR Appreciation Thread

I was 11 years old when Predator came out in theatres and I had to wait until it made its HBO debut to see it. I saw it with my dad and was blown away and I thought Dutch was the coolest guy on Earth when he walked across the beach smoking that cigar with the awesome musical score playing in the background. Ahhh, the memories...

Re: The all new PREDATOR Appreciation Thread

around this era was fantasic i just thought that Arnold was just incredible, with commando,the running man, terminator and predator the was just insane to watch for a 7 year old. Im actually surprised now that I was let watch such an actor haha. Now theres a thought hot toys making the running man figures, sub zero,buzzsaw,fireball and of course captain freedom haha ahh the memories are flooding back
