Any theories on what the other creatures' skulls are in the Trophy Room?

The top one looks like the mask that the priest wears in Dragnet when he's at the PAGAN event.
They're all just other alien (not movie Alien) species.
I heard on a commentary some were, that the big skull is T-rex head? ???
Hehe, I'd like that. I like T-Rexes.
T-Rex from a an Alien world. ;)
Could be, doesn't look like one though .
I think the "banana skull" ;D was intentionally put there to look like a skull from an alien from the Alien movies, but the rest I think are mostly extraterrestrial stuff. And that one first big skull, I'd have to say it looks a WEE bit too small to be from a T-rex, doesn't it? :)
mini-me version ;D
Indeed, maybe a young T-Rex?

The ALIEN skull was put there as a wink to the AVP comics and has a hint at a AVP movie, I heard this on the Predator 2 dvd commentary. ;D
Yeh, thats all pretty well-known. ;)
Any possibility that one of those skulls could be construed as a space jockey? I'm just throwing it out there for the sake of discussion.
If anything, it confirms there's more aliens out there that we might encounter someday.

True. Maybe in P3....
The human skull is the least intimidating of them all. :(
it's not the casing, it's what is held within.
It sounds corny but remember that Predator 3 Gladiator idea? Wouldn't it be cool to see humans pitched against all these strange aliens in the trophy room.
The first one is most definitely not a T-Rex. That skull doesn't look like a T-Rex skull. (http://img.infoplease.com/images/trex-skull.a.jpg)

I believe that was Mr. Paul Anderson, who said that. I have no idea where, though.

yeah it was Anderson, i think he says it on the AVP dvd, if it is a dinosaur, its not a T-rex :o
Thats defiantely not a T-Rex skull! :o
In one of CJ's FMV's the predator is abandoned on a planet and fights sum creatures.Could it be one of them????? ???
I'd just think it would be another Alien. ;)
i was kinda curious why they would have one of every skull then like 3 human skulls whats the point, im not gonna put the same trophy up 3 or 4 times, seemed a little overkill

Hm, good observations.
It would be great if just as the Alien skull indicated that the Predator would encounter Aliens in a movie, the other alien skulls would show us that we might see different alien species in Predator 3.. or in another movie with the Pred in it.

my theory is that we just saw just the trophy case of the pred that danny glover killed. so maybe behind the other walls were the trophy cases of the other preds there on the ship and each pred maybe got the skull of one significant human (i.e. king willie)...
would like to see the other alien hunts in action besides bananahead. ;)
I will like Predator3 if it's set on the preds home world in future.Humans who travel in space find the planet and explore.
Forget the future! Let's go back in time! American Civil War or WW2.
Saving Private Predator ;D
I actually could see a WW2 predator being pretty cool, thats something I'd enjoy.
I've always wanted to see a war film with a Predator, I like that Predator model, I think its called PREDATOR 1945 or something, you see Predator lifting up a Nazi.

intresting idea a Vietnam or WW2 era Predator. I wouldn't mind one in the future though with some Colonial marines.
Anything but that "Homeworld" nonsense...
It could even be set semi-present with Iraq and all. Or a little bit in the future, like "6th day" time.
WW2 era would be nasty.
It doesnt matter either way they kicked its ass whether big or small
There is no mystery as to the alien & human skulls, although the trophies of the other creatures still remain unknown. Contrary to popular belief, the "T-rex" skull, is not from a T-rex at all. Some basic observation shows that its skull is shaped slightly differently & it has a pair of large mandibles on either side of its lower jaw. It's a strong possibility that many of the skulls were taken from other alien species from different planets, after all, predators have the technology to go wherever they want, & hunt whatever they want.
It seems likely to me that a large portion of those skulls came from the Predator's homeworld itself.
1st. The "T-Rex" skull. We've got mandibles as well as jaws, so it seems like this critter came from the same evolutionary system as the Preds. There are a lot of holes on the side of its head, too; maybe it has multiple (more than 2) eyes? Man it's got a lot of teeth, though, some of which seem to still be coming down into the mouth. Could be like a shark, in that they continually grow new teeth, which would make it an A-number 1 predator (little p). Could be it's mutated too; as advanced as the Predators are, how badly polluted do you think their world is?
2nd. Monkey Predator. Immediately to the left of the Alien skull, there's one that looks kinda like a Predator skull, only with a big ridge over the top of the head. It might even have mandibles, though its really hard to see, based on how dark everything is. This could be the Predator homeworld equivalent of a Gorilla, a big fierce beast that's vaguely related to the Predators, but still dangerous enough to hunt. It, like the 1st skull, also seems to have holes for more than one pair of eyes. So either it came from the same world as #1, or the Predator homeworld is more (and different) variety than previously pondered.
3rd. Wacky skull. The thing on the other side of the Alien skull is just plain weird. No mandibles like the other two, a very sloping head, and tusks that seem to start at the back of their head and curve all the way over. Huge teeth, that almost seem like fingers; ew, creepy thought. And it looks like a weird claw or starfish thing is growing off the back. There might even be a hint of a more conventional skull back there, too. Whatever this thing is, it is very alien (little a), and I'd be interested to see concept art of it.
4th. BIG skull. It isn't in those pictures, but if you watch Predator 2 again, watch during the actual fight between Harrigan and the Bill Paxton Predator (he's their alien equivalent, I figure (the oomans are all around man! What are we gonan do? What are we gonna do?!)). Anyway, there's another, larger skull above all those that we don't see in the main shot, and it seems to have horns or something that go all the way across the case. That's the one I wanna see a beast for.
Overall, I wonder if there's any concept art or production photos of this set. It really would be neat for future movies to incorporate the living versions of these critters.

My guess on the big one is maybe a Grot'ye from avp extinction

was that the enoramous creature which is considered a big feat if you kill it ? it has been a while since I played AVP extinction.
Yeah that's the one, except that it's way too easy to kill compared to everything else. There's no way it could destroy entire clans of Predators as the legend says.
hello boys and girls
Aswe've seen there are various skulls in the predator ship at the end of predator 2. Besides the alien skull what other skulls can we recognise? Anything interesting for a movie?
thanks folks
*ahem* I prefer Master Chief, Thank you...
Serious though, I personally would like to know what the big skull was. It had mandibles attached to its huge jaw. It was like some sort of ET Dino. None of them were recognizable. But I think that particular one would be an interesting hunt.
Are there pictures around of that scene?
There's a picture in the predator part of this site. I'm sure someone has a picture of that particular skull. You can always request one in the screen capture request on this thread. I'd like to see it myself.
Yes that big skull is interesting. I only remember 3 skulls though
What's interesting is that there's an extra skull, above, which is only visible when the cabinet is seen from afar.
