[Immortan Jonesy]

The design of one of the monsters from The Guyver (1991) seems inspired by the Predator.

Like, it's obviously something they enjoy making and using, but when Pumkinhead, the Alien and now the Predator all have the same upper lip it feels more like repeating yourself than a signature. Fingers crossed for more variety of lips in future after the amicable split.

1) cringe

2) what did the Predator movies take from Forbidden Planet? An invisible monster? That was hardly unique to that film.

RoboCop

Predator came out before Robocop and they were made largely at the same time.

Predator 2 rips off the opening of RoboCop quite blatantly.

Ohh yeah, of course. Sorry I was thinking about the original.

Yeah, Predator 2 definitely rips off Robocop. But it's not as good or as funny.

The Predator is an ID monster in the ID forest, much like the sheer majority of popular 80s creatures. The first iteration (in films) of an ID monster is... the ID monster from Forbidden Planet

Predator 2 rips off the opening of RoboCop quite blatantly.

the satirical tone is also tons RoboCop - Harrigan punches a Detroit journalist in the face, basically

The beast in the forest is King Kong.
