Yes, the title may seem a bit ridiculous, but that’s exactly what happened. In an interview with Hollywood Reporter, Dan TrachtenbergDirector Predator: Preyadmitted that his film It is based on a scene from predator original (with Arnold Schwarzenegger) that doesn’t even existas well as. We are going to explain it to you in a way that makes sense.
According to the director, when predator saw the light of day back in 1987, he was not at the age to watch an adult film. You probably remember that there are quite a lot of purple scenes in the film, created by Jim and John Thomas.
However, this did not prevent Trachtenberg from finding out what was happening in the film. How it was? Listening to how his colleagues talk about it. “I was in third grade when he came out predator and I wasn’t allowed to watch R-rated movies. So when I was driving in the back of my car to a karate tournament with all the sixth graders who had just watched predatorthey told me the whole movie the whole trip,” he said.

The problem, however, is that his classmates told him half the truth. “I distinctly recalled that there was said to be a scene where Injun Billy stood on the bridge over the falls and fought the Predator.”
If you have a good memory, the alarm clocks have probably already gone off. While it is true that there is a scene where Billy (Sonny Landham) is standing on a bridge – a log – ready to confront an alien creature, confrontation never seen. Of course, we intuitively understand that he put up some resistance and was later killed. In fact, her bloodcurdling cry of pain is heard by her colleagues from a distance. You can relive this moment in the following video:
Later, when Trachtenberg had the opportunity to see predatorrealized that the scene that his companions told about did not exist as such. This did not stop the scene he imagined as a child from serving as the basis for creating Predator: Prey.
“When I finally saw the movie, that scene was gone. It started, but then it stops. So the seed was planted and I thought, “Wouldn’t it be great to make a movie that focuses on this character’s story?” “Production. Not quite like that, but spiritually.”
No doubt a very curious anecdote worth telling now that Predator: Prey It’s on the lips of so many people. Of course, the franchise ran out of steam after deliveries released after the original; not forgetting crossover With Alien that didn’t work either.
However, in spite of everything, Predator: Prey It turned out to be a very good film. The idea of encountering the creature again in an environment surrounded by nature and with characters whose tools apparently have nothing to do with alien technology allowed the franchise to will return to base which allowed him to achieve success in the eighties.
