Yeah. I dunno if it was intended to be an obvious rip-off or if they thought they would get away with thinking it was an original idea. I guess the premises of it would be that the show is aimed at kids, and they wouldnt be old enough to have seen Predator yet, so for some reason they ripped it off.
Tho it could be a number of reasons.. but there only guesses
- Hogans pr someone involved with TIP is a big fan of Predator or they wanted Hogan to be just like Arnie.
- The team doing the CGI and effects and what not developed the technology to do an effect like that of the invisable predator but couldnt think of a decent plot to put it into.
- Maybe the writer was not convinced the Predator was dead and the goverment put it on a deserted island and covered it up.
- Maybe the producer wanted to do a show on an island and it was cheaper to rip off Predator then rip off Gilligans Island.
- The producer was too busy forming Baywatch in his head and just let any old script of garbage get the green light in order to sabatoage the show and make sure it got cancelled so he could ditch the boat and get more chicks in bikinis.
