The Alien films have a number of recurring plot points that run through them - androids, flamethrowers, air ducts, Joseph Conrad, sting-in-the-tail endings - but what about the Predator films?
Obviously there's "One ugly mother...", which is in all three films in one way or another.
Then there's ditching all your heavy firepower for primitive tools in the last act - Dutch and Royce both do this, as does Harrigan when he switches to the Smart-Disc.
Smear cold mud on me, in the first and third films.
The first two films also end with the protagonist fleeing and impending explosion, before emerging from the aftermath covered in ash.
Anyone think of any others? What about the video games? Do they share any of these "Predator clichés" with the films?
