Man, no Billy call back :(


In my mind these were his ancestors. Couldn't they have had a chief who laughed like him at least.

They at least had a version of, "There's something out there major, and it ain't no man... [we all gon die]"

Agreed, making them Billy's ancestors would've explained nicely why Billy gets so spooked in the original 1987 film. Because being from the same tribe, he's already familiar with the old stories and legends about the Predator that have been passed down through generations, from a time when his people first encountered the creature centuries ago. After Billy first recognizes what's going on in the jungle, he immediately realizes they're screwed, because he already knows the story when this happened to his ancestors, who lost many fighting this thing off.

IT CAN STILL BE THE EXPLANATION...I LIKE IT.

Damn.

Agreed. Major missed opportunity.
