Well, unfounded or not... if it weren't for the "dumpster divers," there wouldn't be any pieces left of that movie - with exception to what was given as gifts and such. Doesn't Arnold Schwarzenegger own the original Predator suit? I have a picture of the P2 suit in someones private collection. I guess it's all in who you know. Then again, that movie was made a long-ass time ago as Andy stated. The life of foam latex is very, very short. A member here owns the P2 stunt mask, and it's in really, REALLY good condition because it was kept out of the sun.
Thanks for posting those pics, too!! Great paint reference.
AH HAH!!! I knew it! In the pic with all that stuff on the table, you can see the Boars gauntlets. Both computer gauntlets, but one is missing the computer top. I am such a dork! w00t.
