*stars future ex-governors Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jesse Ventura
*was the highest grossing action movie for Schwarzenegger in the 1980's
*soldier who tells a couple of extremely crude jokes is the Predator's first on-screen kill. He gets it good.
*visual effects were nominated for an Oscar...one of the nominees was Stan Winston. He had won for the previous year for Aliens.
*was followed by two sequels in 1990 and 2010, as well as two cross-over films with the Alien franchise in 2004 and 2007. Another entry in the series is in the works.
*features what looks like a nuclear explosion near the very end of the film
*score was by Alan Silvestri, who also scored Back To The Future, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and Forrest Gump.
*directed by John McTiernan, which he immediately followed with Die Hard and The Hunt For Red October. All three of the films (Predator, Die Hard, and The Hunt For Red October) were scored by different film composers. Incredulously, none of the film scores would get Oscar nominations. Really?
Interesting Facts Related To Die Hard and The Hunt For Red October
*Die Hard was released on July 22, 1988 shortly before The Last Temptation Of Christ appeared on the box-office charts, kind of like how Die Hard's hero entered Nakatomi Plaza shortly before the terrorists. The Last Temptation Of Christ appeared on the lower end of the box-office charts on Aug 12, 1988 while Die Hard was still in the top five at the box-office. The Last Temptation Of Christ grossed over 90% of its gross all the while as Die Hard was outperforming it at the box-office. It's almost a guarantee that The Last Temptation Of Christ grossed 100% of its gross all the while as Die Hard was outperforming it at the box office, but folks at Box Office Mojo kind of made it hard to see that considering the slimy way they reported the weekend of Nov 4-6, 1988.
*One of the main stars of The Hunt For Red October, the actor who portrayed the CIA agent who correctly anticipates that a hunted Russian submarine captain would be intending to defect rather than attack the United States, ironically goes on SNL 16 years later and conducts a monologue that focuses on mocking Star Wars.
Not forgetting that Billy warned the Major about the valley being bad.... and the Major IGNORED THE WARNING, so they all died, just like on the space shuttle!!
Seriously, is this just you practicing your Cut & Paste using the existing Trivia sections on different boards, or something?
I don't cut and paste because my laptop won't do that for me. So I type up the Star Wars To Predator list the old-fashioned brute force way. And then I display relevant facts about those films or that are connected to those films.
I don't really consider most of my facts that I have displayed to be trivia. Trivia has to do with things that are of little worth or importance. Many of the facts I have displayed are either of significant value or they reveal differences that make those films stand out over other movies that don't fall into the list.

Just like you were at the Aliens board, where you quoted me over 100 times!...and with lies, false accusations, and misinformation. Here we go again!
shareIgnoring the clearly laid out truth and burying your head in the sand (or up your own arse) does not make something into a lie, no matter how much you pray for it.
You are still a spammer, bandying useless and incorrect guff around like it's some kind of DaVinci Code revelation...
Ha ha ha, I just tried reporting your post for spam - Apparently the admins have loads of reports about it already!!!
shareI can see why I've had trouble with the fascist imdb censors in the past, whether it be at the board for The Passion Of The Christ back in 2004 or with what Spielberg did in 1982. My opponents who can't win their arguments against me, then report me for some false accusation to the imdb censors, people who don't like what I have to say, especially with all the relevant facts that point to the end of Spielberg's Poltergeist. So the fascists there have no problems with censoring me or threatening to censor me.
Nothing new.
Obviously the censors are choosing to ignore that ttaskmaster is giving false reports about me and that he's a total psychopath.
So I'm not allowed to update a relevant list of movies that share significant connections? Seriously? Is this America or 1930's Germany?

Did I say you've quoted me 100 times? Make that 110 times now.
It's one thing to disagree with me, but it's another thing to disagree with me and have the power to censor without good reason. That's the reasoning of my calling the imdb censors fascists. They have the power to censor me without good reason.
They've done it several times in the past, and now they're threatening to do it again, all based on the false accusations of an opponent who can't win an argument with me to save his life, despite having quoted me at least 110 times.

Too many soldiers have died defending our freedoms that are supposed to be protected in the 1st Amendment for me to shut up.
share"Freedom of speech is the right to communicate one's opinions and ideas without fear of government retaliation or censorship".
Says nothing about internet forum admins, who have every right to shut you down if they so deem it.
As for soldiers dying - I am a soldier myself. We do NOT die for your conveniences, kid. Nor do we even protect them. If you want them protected, go use your 2nd Amendment your own self.
There are plenty of powerful fascist elements within America, whether it be television or the imdb site. They act as fascists, even though they are not the government, when they censor those they disagree with arbitrarily.
Just because you're a soldier doesn't mean people you disagree with should be censored arbitrarily. Actually, if you're an American soldier, then actually it IS your job to protect my freedoms. Thankfully, YOU are not in charge of how our freedoms are given, whether you are a soldier or not.
Your being a soldier might earn you respect in society, but when it comes to the way you treat those you disagree with on the internet, you've been a total psychopath.

Come on then - Refute the dismissal of your "facts", if you can...
I notice how fast you are to jump on proof that you're a spammer of invented "facts", yet cannot actually answer the challenge that you're making sh!t connections up when there are none....
spam: unsolicited usu. commercial e-mail sent to a large number of addresses
Is my Star Wars To Predator list spam? No...not even close. There's absolutely nothing commercial about my list, and I'm only displaying the information at the relevant sites of each of the movies. I'm displaying relevant information about each of the specific movies that are all connected by the fact that they all involve interplanetary travel and were made within an eleven year period.
I'm not flooding any of the boards, and unlike ttaskmaster, I'm not quoting my opponents over 100 times with responses that are full of lies and misinformation and false accusations. Nor do I have had to report my opponents to the censors as the only way to win the argument.
I'm trying to decide whether or not I should make a goal for myself that by the end of this year, I will count the number of lies that my opponent has told here within just a few hours this morning. I could count all the lies, quote them, and then refute them all. But would it be worth it? Do I want to make my opponent that kind of a priority in my life?
It would take so much time, so much effort, and for what? To let myself get dragged into a never-ending discussion with someone whose native language is to lie. I've defended what I've said many times today already, in fact, so many times I have defended myself that any rational person could see which one of us is speaking the truth, and which one isn't.

From the IMDB Message Boards Etiquette
"Flooding: Reposting the same message multiple times in the same board or in different boards and/or posting many messages for the sole purpose of generating traffic and disrupting the flow of the conversation."
From the IMDB Message Boards Etiquette
My purpose has to been to inform people of facts that are relevant, significant, or possibly interesting to the reader...
My purpose has not ever been to generate traffic or to disrupt the flow of any conversation.
Spam is not defined by the IMDb message boards etiquette.
Also, the words "posting the same thing over and over" implies excessive and unlimited repeating.
My repeating of the list or of truths or of original arguments has been limited, and has in no way been excessive.
Limited repeating is not spam, such as limited repeating of the truth or the original message or original argument to stand out from all the flooding of falsehoods or from all the flooding of unclear, confusing, and weak arguments and constant badgering (and harassment).
The limited repeating of a list ONCE at a movie's imdb discussion board that had been listed before ONCE at a DIFFERENT movie's discussion board is NOT spam. To say otherwise is intellectually dishonest, and purposefully confusing others about what spam IS and what spam is NOT.
Confusion and dishonesty is apparently a constant tool for ttaskmaster, which enables him to endlessly badger and harass his opponents (or at least me, anyway).
Oh, you want to talk about harrassment?
So you get reported by a number of other users and the IMDB staff actually punish you for being guilty of your crimes... and you personally blame me, call me all manner of foul things based on your flawed ASSUMPTIONS and complete ignorance, rather than any actual knowledge of me and start holding me personally responsible for your crimes?
Get fücked you braindead little pissant.
YOU are wrong. YOU did wrong. YOU were punished.
Believe me: If I *were* harrassing you, I'd do it in person - It's more fun, that way!

You're so full of lies and dishonesty and denials, it's not even funny. You seem to be dependent on the lie that other people who are against me are incapable of being in the wrong. (and that includes the IMDb censors)
My most recent arguments have been that I never spammed. You have failed to pinpoint any specific incident of me spamming, despite the fact that you have repeatedly falsely accused me of spamming. Limited repeating lists or of the truth is not spamming. Posting my list ONCE at each of the 14 movies' discussion boards is not spamming. I am not drowning out any conversations at any of those boards. I repeat: I am not drowning out any conversation at any of those boards. I just now repeated the truth, but that does not make it spam.
To suggest otherwise is intellectually dishonest. But that's what you live on. You sleep, eat, and breathe dishonesty. You live on it. You depend on it.
I have three reasons for not reporting you:
One: I don't get along well with the IMDb censors, who have been in the wrong before by placing me in their cross-hairs for reasons that are unjust.
Two: I don't need them to help me win arguments by censoring my opponents.
Three: I welcome the average (and fair-minded) reader to see how insane you are and what I have to put up with, and that I can still win arguments by only responding to a fraction of the erroneous things you have said.
So you've been found guilty... and you're blaming me.
You've been reported by numerous users... and you're calling me a liar.
You've been punished... and you're denying everything.
Grow up and deal with it, kid.
Own up to the crimes for which you are being punished.
No, I haven't been found guilty, but yes I am blaming you for making false accusations that I have been spamming and I am blaming your for trying to have me censored arbitrarily.
Yes, I've been reported by numerous users like you who can't win arguments against me. But just because they are in agreement with you in their attempts to have me arbitrarily censored does not mean you are not a liar. Believe me, you are a liar.
Yes, I've been punished...unjustly. And yes, I'm denying that I have earned any punishment from the IMDb censors, who you seem to think are incapable of wrong-doing.
Since I am not guilty of any crimes, there not any crimes for me to own up to.
You're telling me to grow up is kind of like Hitler telling Gandhi to stop being a warmonger.
You're comparing me to Hitler is like a child bitching at his parents because he can't get his own way.
If there was ANY shred of truth to your whining, you'd have reported me ages ago... but there isn't and you just can't handle it.
You did wrong, you are wrong and you are AGAIN being punished for breaking the law here.
Grow up and *beep* deal with it, or go bury your ignorant, stupid, lying retarded head elsewhere, idiot.
No-one cares.
I like winning arguments on my own. I don't need others to do my work for me by having my opponents censored, even though some of them deserve to be. I think I've been handling it all pretty well actually. You just don't know how to stop lying. You're addicted. You're the one who needs to grow up.
Anyway, I already explained my three points as to why I don't report you.
See, that's the thing you don't get - Numerous other people had already reported you for completely unrelated threads. I didn't get to report you, because people had already done it.
Everywhere you go people report you, because you're wrong.
As for winning arguments, saying so doesn't make it so. You've lost this one many times already.
