Every Thanksgiving, we would go to the movies with friends. This was one we skipped in 1990 as there just wasn’t anything good out enough to see. Well, 35 years later I finally watched it. Decent enough. Classic Bill Paxton. Nude Teri Weigel. Maria Conchita Alonso was still looking good. But had to use CC for Danny Glover and his mush mouth delivery.
An underrated part of the death of TV and movie comedy is that we're now constantly exposed to little laughs from Twitter, TikTok, etc. That shit kind of replaced having to get our day to day laughs from repeating shit like "my wife" in Borat voice every 30 minutes, sadly.
This movie scared the absolute shit out of me when I was a kid. I blame USA, TNT, and those networks for just broadcasting terrifying movies all day every day that any kid could watch with just the most violent parts edited out. Before I saw Predator 2 I was actually scared by kids on the playground simply describing the kills in the movie.
Another underrated scary part of the Predator movies was it was alpha soldier dudes in the first getting killed and then gangsters and cops in the second. That extra messed up a young Woolley. It felt like those are the guys who were supposed to save you.
Kirk Douglas and Farrah Fawcett on a moon where Harvey Keitel builds a robot. Kind of like Alien in the premise. Some boobs with prime Farrah Fawcett. Kind of dated but had never seen it so it was a quick 88 minutes.

Saturn 3

Of all the Predator sequels/franchise movies, this might be the best of them.
