WTF Happened to Predator!

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Hollywood has had its fair share of historically troubled productions. Whether it was casting changes, actor deaths, fired directors, in-production rewrites, constant delays, budget cuts, or studio edits, these films had every intention to be a blockbuster but were beset with unforeseen disasters. Sometimes huge hits, sometimes box office bombs.

In this episode, we look at a HUGE hit, in fact, it's a movie I'd wager has become one of the defining action movies of its era – PREDATOR. Sporting an iconic cast led by Arnold Schwarzenegger, we dig deep into this action classic directed by John McTiernan, which turned out great but was often a hellish shoot, complete with competing co-stars, a terrible first attempt at a Predator suit, and even a young Jean-Claude Van Damme! So let's dig in and see WTF Happened to PREDATOR!
