I always wondered why they messed up consistency with the Preds' unmasked IR vision in Predator 2. I'm guessing it was probably due to either budget constraint, or a lack of attention to detail. :-\

It was fukced up partialy. It is very possible Predator would see like that in cold storage.

I remember the film showing it when him and Harrigan were dueling in the ship, too.

Perhaps he was wearing some really advanced Pred contacts. :laugh:

Yes, we'll just ignore the fact his eyes should be glowing red hot in thermal vision.

Does it really bother you that much. I mean...Really?  :laugh:

Considering it's a cold building, with dead meat everywhere, at night, and it was just doused in cold water, and had cryo-guns spraying all over the place, I can totally buy that the predator's natural vision would look like it's masked version.

What about when they're in the ship? I'd have to go with HuDaFuK. It's most likely an oversight.

Maybe one of the Predator's left the air conditioning on, again...

The mask clearly filters and amplifies the infra-red spectrum to make it easier to discern, sure. But you're idea that it completely ignores mud just because the Predators programmed it to is, with all due respect, stupid.
And yet, supported by the film!

QuoteDid they come to Earth beforehand and grab some mud to sample? What if the mud came straight out of a fridge?
Or much simpler, it's keying living things in, and everything else out. It doesn't need to sample mud, just people. And they've done that plenty.

QuoteWhat if Dutch built a house out of mud bricks to hide in?
Dutch could build a house out of anything opaque and hide from a Predator. He could stand behind a particularly broad tree and disappear.

QuoteI'm not even sure why you're so desperate to justify this obviously stupid plot point anyway.
I'm not "desperately" doing anything. Just musing. Why are you getting antsy that I'd try to explain what's seen in the film?

It's just a plot contrivance. Simple as.

It's like trying to explain why the Alien's blood doesn't melt through the harpoon cable Ripley shoots it with at the end of Alien. It doesn't make any sense, but it is that way because the script says so.

No.... It was a plot interval... That lead to yet another Weyland Effect..

Actually the script says the acid does eat at the harpoon.

And it's not meant to be explained, because it just makes no sense.

Quote from: SiL on Jul 04, 2014, 08:29:40 AMActually the script says the acid does eat at the harpoon.

That's very nice. The film shows us it doesn't. It's hanging on the end of that thing for about a minute. A tiny splash of blood burned through two entire decks of the Nostromo in half that time.

Acid of adult Alien is not as potent as the one of  facehugger. It was shown in Aliens.

Also Predator equipment doesn't seem to record heat signature other then filtered ones. Background heat signiture is nullified and all other that are not 100% marked as living creature.
