You're not wrong, though I guess the Comanche were based in the Wyoming area in the 1600s and then migrated into the southern Great Plains through Nebraska, Colorado, and Kansas into New Mexico, Texas, and Oklahoma. Movie is set in 1719, when most Comanche were on the southern Plains in present-day New Mexico and Texas, at least from what I've read.

I mean, Predator 2 was in LA…

Yes, Predator 2 took place in THE URBAN JUNGLE. (Pretty sure that was part of the marketing for it, if I recall correctly from 30+ years ago...)

I can't believe I haven't posted on this thread yet. Hell, I think I wanted to start a thread on the movie after we watched it. It fucking ruled. I thought the story was much more deep and rich in this one than in the original. Original is a bonafide movie classic and still whips ass, but Prey may have been a better overall film. Absolutely not crap in any respect.

Honestly?

I felt like this was also the case with Predators.

Maybe not "Head And Shoulders..." better, but enough to be worth taking note of.

Didn't even know this was a thing until now, so I might give this a go tonight.


I remember going to see the first Predator at the cinema and at the point when you see it without the helmet for the first time (with the 'dreadlocks' and stuff) some guy a couple of rows back said loudly "Fuck me, it's Terence Trent Darby!", it cracked me up so much I was no good for the rest of the film.
