  Predator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The difference between a predator and a parasite is that for a predator killing the prey is necessary for consuming it, but for parasites it is not even desirable because a parasite lives on or in its host.
There may be hierarchies of predators; for example, though small birds prey on insects, they may in turn be prey for snakes, which may in turn be prey for hawks.
Sometimes a predator may have a profound influence on the balance of organisms in a particular ecosystem; introduction or removal of this predator, or changes in its population, can have drastic cascading effects on the equilibrium of many other populations in the ecosystem.

The Predators are in the middle of Clan Trials, which is how they decide issues of succession.

 Predator DVD Review
The ideological opposite of Alien almost, Predator is a cheap B-movie by all accounts.
Although it is a newer movie than Alien, Predator has lots of grain and scratches on the print at times.
There are no special features, just a trailer that makes the movie sounds worse than it is (it has one of those portentous voice-overs peculiar to bad action movies made in the 1980s).

That said, this highly anticipated movie didn't turn out to be as great as I hoped it might, but also didn't turn out to be as bad as it could have either.
I recently watched the original PREDATOR on DVD (it still comes through) and within the film's first 10 minutes, they were all locked, stocked and in the jungle, ready to kick mighty ass.
That said, there were very few of the "kills" that I remember because the camera cut away before we saw anything, nothing about the movie was scary or suspenseful and the lead actress had none of the charm, strength or bite required for such a role.

Using thermal imaging satellites, Weyland believes to have discovered the ruins of an ancient pyramid temple that predates the Egyptian and Aztec pyramids buried under the ice.
Once inside, the team finds the remains of humans with holes in the rib cage and the remains of facehuggers, meaning that the possibility of the temple being uninhabited is very unlikely.

 ALIEN VS. PREDATOR  Preview
Still, making Alien vs. Predator is a no-brainer for 20th Century Fox since it teams up two of that studio’s most lucrative sci-fi franchises, the idea first being mentioned in Predator 2 which had a so-called “predator” dry-cleaning the skull of an alien (from the Alien movies).
The Predator movie franchise (itself a rip-off of the original Alien movie when you think about it) also never got further than the 1987 original starring the current governor of California and the 1990 sequel starring Mel Gibson’s Lethal Weapon “too old for this sh*t!@#” partner Danny Glover.

In 1999, Fox Interactive had a huge videogame hit with Aliens vs. Predator--gamers had the choice of playing an alien, a predator or a plucky space marine--and which recently spawned the sequel, Aliens vs. Predator 2.

Overseeing the project will be original Predator producers Joel Silver, Lawrence Gordon, and John Davis as well as David Giler and Walter Hill, who produced all four Alien films.

 Henriksen connects ‘Alien’ with ‘Predator’ - MORE MOVIE NEWS AND FEATURES - MSNBC.com
“Alien vs. Predator” fuses that sci-fi franchise with the “Predator” movies, which were about a humanoid monster from outer space who comes to earth as a trophy hunter.
The first movie in that series debuted in 1987, and starred Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jesse Ventura as commandos hunting — and being hunted by — the Predator in a Central American jungle.
Henriksen, who also starred in the 1996-1999 TV series “Millennium,” described the “Alien” and “Predator” movies as “morality plays” that explore how different people test their selfishness, loyalty and courage under extreme duress.

Again, we built our Predator costume from scratch, except for the Helmet, which the Wisconsin fellow purchased before he ever contacted me.

His original intent was that I would film the movie, edit the film and create the special effects, and maybe chip in a little on the Predator costume here and there.

In fact, to save time let's just say that if you are fl, and in a Schwarzenneger action movie, then you are not a good guy, probably a bad guy, and Arnold is going to kill you personally or leave you for dead.
