The box set is magnificant. I cannot tell how it looks like in my archive shelf.

Predator is the ultimate action film ever made. It combines a stirring plot, graphic violence (tastefull yet unsettling), huge explosions, and a cast of wonderful characters that just make this film come to life. The setting alone makes for a wonderful movie going experience. Taking place in deepest darkest jungle of Cambodia, this film takes you on a journey that will make you stand up and cheer at it's conclusion. Arnold Schwarzenegger give the performance of a lifetime, and Carl Weathers shines with Excellence. Gunplay, knives, mischief and mayhem are all involved in this 80's classic. I promise you will not be disappointed in the least. I love the line where Arnie sees Predator's face and exclaims 'What an ugly m*****f..ker !

Predator has Arnie replaced by Danny Glover. He does a commendable job and the pace is still maintained throughout the film. There are some bloody scenes which can scare off younger viewers though.

THE ULTIMATE PREDATOR COLLECTION !! !! !! !!

This is the best Predator box set there is, Alien vs Predator isnt included but i wouldnt want that in this set because in my opnion it was dreadful! Predator and Predator 2 are both included in this box set in their 2 disc special edition versions and the slide their in makes this set look really cool! The extras for both films are great although the Predator 2 interviews and 'making of' featurettes only have a prerecorded couple of sentances and comments by the main cast which are repeated in every extra where they are supposed to be in!
The films themselves though are spectacular, especially the first one!
Predator is based on the lines of a couple of 'bad ass' soldiers which are sent into the jungle to rescue some hostages but end up fighting an alien which easily wipes most of them out with its cool array of space age weapons! Arnold Schwarsanigger acts as Butch (the main character) in the first Predator and does his job well. He was the perfect match for Butch's character (a big, muscly, super-soldier) and the other actors that fight along-side him (they are also big, muscly, super-soldiers) also done a particulary good performance in Predator. And the Predator itself has to be one of the best characters to ever be in a film! He wears a cool helmet and all his weapons are stored in some sort of holster or case on him! And the way he sees in heat vision is very cool and has a great effect on the film. His face has to be the best thing though but i wont tell you what it looks like because i cant explain it and its a grear surprise when you do see it!
Predator has loads of action in it and youll never get bored or want to fast forward to a more interesting part of the film. Preator has amazed critics time and time again for bieng one of the greatest all-action films ever made!
Predator 2 is no where near as good as the origonal and isnt that much of a good film overall but its still above your avarage action film and has some decent acting as well as a great story! Danny Glover (Lethal Weapon) takes Arnold Schwarsanigger's place in Predator 2 as a tough cop who starts to investigate strange killings during a huge gang war in one of the hottest summers Americas ever seen! This film is meant to be set in the future but now its quiet out of date, Predtor 2 still has some pretty gory scenes and features a Predator with even more cool weapons and gadjets which includes an extendable spear, a dart launcher, a net gun (which tightens when its tied around you), an updated shoulder mounted gun, longer and stranger wrist blades, a portable medipack which features loads of cool new ways for the predator to heal himself, a 'smart disc' (which is like a frisby with blades on it and it comes back to you when you throw it, like a boomerang!) and many more! One of the bad things about Predator 2 is the very outdated special effects which have a bad effect on the film!
So if your thinking of buying either of the films then get this, it is by far the best collection of Predator films and has the best extras you can get for either films on the bonus discs! So Buy It!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now disagree with me all you like...

...But Predator 2 IS the better movie.
A far more balanced Hero, a better and far more dangerous environment, and doesnt have a monotone feel to it with Arnie there.
Dont get me wrong - I love Predator, but I felt Predator 2 is just superior, and I've had arguments for years over this but to me its just better directed, and I enjoyed Danny Glover's far more out of control Harrigan to the almost relaxed and invincible Dutch. Time will tell people!
Great boxset, absolutely brilliant movies. Go buy it.
