One of Arnie's best movies.

This one had it all... action, sci-fi... uh, more action... explosions... Carl Weathers... and more action.

And it made the Predator himself an iconic character. But it didn't start out that way. Stan Winston studios has confirmed something that has long been rumored... that Jean Claude Van Damme was originally to be the Predator. But as you'll see in this video, things didn't go swimmingly.

Van Damme was being a diva as usual

The Predator is ferocious and intelligent! You have to like that in a fictional killer.
