Predator (1987)

 Just rewatched the original Predator. So fun to watch this movie again. It was way ahead of its time in many aspects. It mixed genres in a novel way incorporating sci-fi, horror, monster movie styles into the muscle man action movies that were really hot at the time. Including the greatest action actor of all time, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

 The rest of the cast is not lacking. Co-star Carl Weathers adds a lot of weight to machismo credibility of this summer blockbuster. Jessie Ventura, then a pro wrestler (later a governor, just like Schwarzenegger), Bill Duke (accomplished tough guy who was also in the classic, Commando), Sonny Landrum made up the rest of the principle cast; all bring their A-game as a corps. of badasses.

Will write more on this later... happy to get the ball rolling with this project!
