Author Topic: AVP : Alien Vs. Predator Nicole Halper Film Handler Posts: 47 From: Plano, Texas, USA Registered: Mar 2004 posted 08-17-2004 08:59 PM                        Ok --**SPOILER** Now I only saw some of this movie, but if I'm not mistaken...Predator makes peace with the human that is still alive, and protects her from Alien....hmmmm...can we say cheesy?  |  IP: Logged Dave Williams Wet nipple scene Posts: 1836 From: Salt Lake City, UT, USA Registered: Jan 2000 posted 08-19-2004 07:53 AM                        Nicole, this is a moment where you need to see the whole film to truly understand the moment. I never do this.. but... *******SPOILERS*********** The predators are hunters, and everyone is prey. In a pivotal scene the remaining two humans decide to give the big guns to the predators so that they can kill the aliens, to stop them from escaping and destroying the planet. They knew that they themselves would be killed anyway, so best to get the guns to the guys who would best suit humanity, regardless of thier own safety. On the way one of the humans fall victim to an Alien, and then the remaining human comes across the remaining predator, gives him the gun, and if you recall from predator history, an unarmed woman is not prey, so she is not killed. However, as the predator is killing the aliens, he is nearly bested by one last alien, however the human picks up a predator weapon and kills the alien, to prevent the predator from getting killed, as he is the only hope to stop the alien threat. The predator sees that she has joined the hunt, and shows her how to mark herself with the blood of her kill, and how to arm herself using the skull of the alien and the predator stabbing weapon. He takes her on the hunt because she has proven herself to be a formidable alien killer, therefore no need to kill her at all now, and he could use the help. Yes he is going to protect her as she has joined the hunt. The predators at the end even gave her his stabbing weapon as a trophy of the hunt, and left her. Less cheesy when you take into account predator history, actual history of hunting cultures, and the entire movie itself. Yeah the whole thing is a large cheeseball, but it is a guily fun cheeseball.

(Though I'd stick to the original Alien movies any day than a bond between Predator and Humans- but it's a Movie after all)  |  IP: Logged Jason M Miller Master Film Handler Posts: 284 From: Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA Registered: Jul 2004 posted 08-22-2004 12:22 AM                     A couple of things, if you have ever seen Preditor 2 you will see that this is not the first time the Preditor ever gave a human a trophey, so this is not a new concept. Next quote: Also, when she shot up that tunnel really fast she would have died shortly after from decompression sickness. Many people died building the Brooklynn bridge because they came up to the surface too fast. --Chris Hipp Chiris these are two diffrent things, thre reason people died comming up from building the Brooklynn bridge is because the pressure from the water is diffrent from the pressure in the air. There was no diffrence in pressures(at least not that much) from the cave to the surface. I did think that the movie was a bunch of fun  |  IP: Logged
