Movie review: PREY
Who would have thought that there was still some life left in the PREDATOR franchise? The 1987 film by John McTiernan (One year before he shook the action world with his game-changer DIE HARD ) was a classic, sweaty, loud and ripping yarn starring Schwarzenegger at the height of his fame. Propelled by a rhythmic score by Alan Silvestri and an iconic alien design by Stan Winston (brought to life by gentle giant Kevin Peter Hall ) who saved the film from an anticlimactic beast designed by Boss Studio and portrayed by none other than a despondent Jean-Claude Van-Damme . The film became a staple of video stores, and an action classic in its own right. Kevin Peter Hall dwarfing Arnold Schwarzenegger in his iconic Stan Winston make-up in the 1987 PREDATOR. The success of the film brought the inevitable sequels. PREDATOR 2 (1990) moved the action from the jungle to the Urban Jungle of L.A., and while it may suffer from a lack of originality, it does feature some great performances
