If you could have one more guest from PREDATOR who would you choose?

[nicky]

Sonny Landham is a great first guest and many of us are hoping for more Predator guests from both films. I've made a poll to see who people would like to meet the most out of the remaining cast of the first film.

 

I left out of the poll, Arnold Schwarzenegger, for obvious reasons. I'm not sure John McTiernan would be likely either esp given the controversy over his recent incarceration but then again we do have Sonny and if we can get him then who knows! Sonny was pardoned though.

 

Carl Weathers has visited us twice (last SM event was 2005?) and was a popular guest and he spoke very highly of his Predator team-mates. Richard Chaves, Shane Black and Jesse Ventura have done signings/cons before too.

 

My choice would be Shane Black cos he's also a big name screenwriter.

I'm hoping for Carl, but because showmasters have got Sonny attending, I'm sure it'll be easier to attract the rest of the cast to attend too. Here's hoping!

I would have to go for Carl Weathers too. Not really bothered about asking him about the Rocky franchise, but Happy Gilmore cracks me up when I need a laugh!!

[friday13thfan]

I agree with Nicky, I would like to see Shane Black coz I need him on my poster, Jesse and Bill Duke I already have so my order would be

 

Shane Black

Richard Chaves

Elpidia

 

but I would love to meet Bill and Jesse in person as I didn't aquire there autos myself so ANYONE FROM THE PREDATOR MOVIES!!!!!

 

I would like to see more from prt 2 and the 2 AVP movies also!!! and although he's been to a few recently, if your having a Predator gathering you have to have Ian Whyte back, has he is the only person to play the main creature as Kevin Peter Hall passed away RIP!

[Hollie's Dad]

Jean Claude Van Damme played the Predator but was uncredited. Some of his scenes are still in the film, probably distance shots.

[friday13thfan]

I heard he was 'supposed' to play the predator but was too short etc when goin up against the likes of Arnie, Jesse, Bill and Carl and so wasn't used..... I can't see any scenes where the Predators manerisms are different or he is short etc.........

[Hollie's Dad]

I may have got my wires crossed a little bit on that one then......

[nicky]

Alec Gillis at LFCC2 told me he quit after a couple days mainly cos he was looking for stardom and wasnt happy playing a special-effect (he wore the invisible-suit). Jesse Ventura's autobiography states he intentionally hit a stuntman too and complained alot about the uncomfortablness of the suit.

[Ritchie]

Put my vote in for Bill Duke. Would be superb if they can encourage some more of the cast to attend.

 

Ritchie.

[Lennybear]

Bill Duke for me aswell i also like him in Commando and Payback, top bloke

[friday13thfan]

wow, all that in a couple of days lol!! thanks for the info Nicky! did y'all see how bad the original Predator suite looked?? lol!!!! it was friggin terrible!!! I'm so glad Stan and his team came in with the character we all know and love!!! I wish we had the chance to meet Kevin Peter Hall! that would have been legendary!! I'd also want a Harry and the Hendersons pic signed

[nicky]

did y'all see how bad the original Predator suite looked?? lol!!!! it was friggin terrible!!!

 

There is footage of this original design on the DVD (the invisible-suit version). It kinda reminds me of an ant or something you'd see the Power Rangers or Ultraman fighting.

hahaha that's the one dude!!!! can you imagine that becoming the iconic creature that the predator is today??! I can't! I don't think it would've carried on to be honest! Arnie fighting that would have been a joke!

It's almost has bad as the rip off DNA starring Mark Dacascos! lol!!!!

Thanks god for Stan Winston Studios....RIP Stan!

Having never seen Predator I've gone for Shane Black for both Lethal Weapon and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

[MikeDonovan]

I've gone for Shane Black - although Carl Weathers would be a great guest, Black edges it slightly for me as the writer of Lethal Weapon. But Carl Weathers and Jesse Ventura would be fantastic guests.

 

By the way Nicky - your new profile picture's going to take some getting used to - you were Snake for a loooooong time!

 

Re : - JCVD, I don't think any of his footage made it into the final cut

[snot182]

Id like to meet Carl as it would be another cool auto for my Happy Gilmore dvd but i voted Jesse Ventura as im a massive Wrestling fan

 

not a predator fan tho so im all about guests for other reasons

[tj wildfire]

Being a wrestling fan i had to vote for "The Body"

 

"You couldn`t control me when i worked for you and you sure as hell can`t control me now"

[stobbs]

any additional guests would be great ... Jesse Ventura gets my vote

[I P Freely]

Ditto.

 

No brainer for me. I'd want a guest talk too, as I've loads of writing questions for him! lol

[Lestat]

I voted for Carl Weathers however I would happy with anyone from Predator.

[collector-man]

I voted Richard Chaves but more so for his work in "The War Of The Worlds" TV series (Adrian Paul was in it too) back in the late 80s but I'm not sure how many people here are familair with that show.

I remember it - as far as I recall it was ok in the first season, but didn't they substantially re-tool it after that?

[kroll_2008]

ARNIE!!!!

[nicky]

I left out of the poll, Arnold Schwarzenegger, for obvious reasons.

Arnie is never going to happen unfortunately. The best hope you have of meeting him is a book signing tour, maybe for an autobiography? Almost certainly not going to happen until he leaves the governorship, but to be fair if Bill Clinton can come to London for a book signing, so can Arnie.
