The folks above ground in AvP also had guns on them at all times. Remember the scene where the black James Bond and the guy that played Cicero in Gladiator pulled pulse rifles from their briefcases? I believe everyone from Weyland Corp. followed the security chick's code: "It's just like a condom. I'd rather have one and not need to use it, than need to use it and not have one." Not exactly Shakespeare, but it gets the point across. 79910@blogcritics.org Mon, 16 Aug 2004 15:48:50 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/08/15/222621.php#comment-79901 I wonder if they have been consistent with that, Richard. Predators kill all the people above ground in AVP and I'm pretty sure not all of them were armed. What about people running in the first Predator movie that were unarmed? It's a nice concept, but have they really been consistent to that? 79901@blogcritics.org Mon, 16 Aug 2004 14:59:11 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/08/15/222621.php#comment-79882 Oh I forgot, the predators whole lifestyle, shown in both movies indicate they only battle humans who posses weapons, shows they have a sense of honor, which fits in having a heart. 79882@blogcritics.org Mon, 16 Aug 2004 14:06:55 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/08/15/222621.php#comment-79873 You are partly correct, Richard, I don't remember much about the Predator 2 movie (except that it wasn't as good as the first one), nor those two parts you mentioned, but I did see the movie. Thank you for the correction. I'll have to go check that movie out again. 79873@blogcritics.org Mon, 16 Aug 2004 13:51:24 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/08/15/222621.php#comment-79851 obviously didn't see the 2nd predator movie, which showth they do have a heart by saving the pregnant woman and giving danny glover a pistol 79851@blogcritics.org Mon, 16 Aug 2004 12:28:28 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/08/15/222621.php#comment-79823 i dunno man. im getting a little more optimistic about this with every review, but i still can't help feeling its an example of a seriously wasted oppurtunity. Hmmm 79823@blogcritics.org Mon, 16 Aug 2004 04:57:47 EDT
