![]() Infrared film makes its big screen debut. Schwarzenegger goes feral, Lord of the Flies style. Jesse The Body Ventura!!! Jesse The Body Ventura is hiking through the jungle with a minigun. A guy kicks a vulture off of an inside-out corpse. Plot notwithstanding, although the plot is way above average for a film made during Reagan’s reign, several scenes make Predator a must-watch. If not for Commando being the greatest 80s Action movie of them all, you could argue a strong case for Predator being the silverback male of the genre.

Dutch (Arnold) and Dillon (Carl) greet each other by arm wrasslin’, so as they get to hold hands for like forty-five seconds. Aside from Carl Weathers’ constant Playgirl centerfold posing and Arnold’s overexposed (and oily) 24″ arms, the very first line of dialogue spoken comes from a man who tells Schwarzenegger, “You’re looking good, Dutch.” I haven’t seen this many half-naked men since my high school football team pussy-footed around in the showers.
