Predator or AvP ripoffs and requels

[choccy milk]

The beast in the forest is King Kong.

Yeah actually, there are readings of King Kong that establish the ape as a symbol of primal masculinity. I specifically refer to the ID monster because it's what people refer to usually (Winston makes direct references to the ID monster when talking about Pumpkinhead, for one)

McTiernan flat out says Kong. The a Thomas brothers likened it to the Minotaur and other beasts.

OH???



Where was this said? Starlog, Starburst? This is SUPER important

Spoiler

in PREY, Naru stabs Feral with one of his own fangs - just like Theseus kills the Minotaur using one of the beast's horns. I mention this in the podcast, but had NO IDEA that the Thomas bros likened the original Predator to a Minotaur. This is WICKED!

Commentary on the second film. McTiernan obviously mentions Kong on the commentary of the first.
