Re: Predator New Sequel
Shane Black is directing, huh?
Soooo...I guess we know what the plot is.
A hotheaded loose canon predator (Xortan "Plasma" Frakes) is in pursuit of a rare albino xenomorph, but manages to rampage through downtown Los Angeles in the process of hunting the xenomorph (known as "Mr. Smiley") down, causing several million dollars of damage in the process.
The loose canon predator fails to catch Mr. Smiley, and is immediately called into the Chief Predator's office. The Chief reams out Frakes, telling him he's out of control, and needs a partner. Frakes tells him "This is bull****, Chief! You know I hunt alone!" The Chief tells him "Frakes, you need to rein it in. You're either gonna on suspension, riding a desk, or you say hello to your new partner. Your choice."
Frakes grudgingly accepts, and is introduced to his new partner, an older, by-the-book predator named Zalbot Durlanski. Together, they must pursue Mr. Smiley before he can move fifteen kilos of a new, designer xenomorph drug known as "royal jelly," while navigating their own radically different hunting styles.
In the final fight, Durlanski is injured, but manages to take out Mr. Smiley's associate -- a silent enforcer praetorian alien known only as "The Big Guy." Meanwhile, after making sure his partner is ok, Frakes finally manages to catch Mr. Smiley. After pinning him with his razor-net, Frakes looks at Smiley and coldly tells him "I thought you knew. Plasma's too hot to handle." Then blows him away with his shoulder cannon.
Frakes and Durlanski slow walk away from an explosion that destroys the entire shipment of "royal jelly."
Roll credits.
) There's not much I did like about the movie itself except for the concept and execution of the Predator. As a product of the 80's it's what we expected at the time, but the script has a lot of holes in it (wish Mr. Black had re-worked it a bit
