What Do You think about the 1st Predator flim suit?

Just something I ran across on Youtube and thought some would might want to see what the 1st suit looked like if they haven't already. Nice suit, but it's not the Predator that we all know.

Thanks "oneuglymf". I still haven't bought the newest version on P1 with the behind the scenes. I saw a glimpse of it one time but not like that. Wish I could find more behind the scene footage of Predator 2.

To "JehdinThwei", I completely agree with you. I wish Kevin was still around too. I know he would have tried to be at every single comic con he could find to meet more of his fans. I would probably have came up to his waist how short I am. LOL

Nice Find Night Viper! Never seen that one. Gotta' love how Van- Damme Pronounced 'Predator'
Every time I hear, think about or read about that fateful day on that plane where for the first time, Mr. Winston began sketching out the predator I get chills. Goose bumps. The predator is such an awesome concept; it’s like Stan reached in and pulled this guy out from the recesses of some parallel universe. It's truly amazing. Never in the history of movies and monster has there ever been such a magnificent creature created by man.

With a wee bit of help from James Cameron I agree with you, though. Best creature ever!!

I'm glad they made a more realistic and bad ass looking alien. I think the original concept artist was going for all that popular horror crap back in the 80s with pumpkin and freddy crougar and all of that. This film has clearly changed people's lives. Great job making sure it was done right!

The old suit wasn't bad, but it just looked like yet another random alien creature... The design they ended up using packed way more of a punch, once the helmet was off.

Estelle and JehdinThwei:
Yeah, I had to rewind that one when Jean-Claude said Predator. LOL That was funny. Till this day, I still believe that the design of Predator is one of the best in movie history. So many unique things. Basically, anything that use to scare the living crap out me would get my vote.

Caçador:
I agree. They were going for the old hit movies style creatures. It looked like something off "The Fly". Another movie I was watching recently that I haven't seen in a while was "Critters". If you all were around in the 80's, you all know what I'm talking about. lol

Blade3327:
I'm so glad that they didn't go with that design for Predator. The movie reaction would have turned out a lot different. Predator with no weapons, come on.......!!!!!

 

[A Hunters Moon]

Man, that first suit would have been god awful. Thankfully Stan and Kevin swooped in to save the day.

 

[Knightviper09]

Amen to that "Hunter's Moon". It looks like a "B" movie if they would have done that. lol

Suits great- i think the 2nd face was scarier though- like seafood or something
