AVP Pred wrist blades

[Predboy]

God, that plasma cannon is f*cking huge. I just....hate it.

[Cromartie]

the wristblades are more practical the longer they are.

[SiL]

Other way around. The longer they are, the more impractical they are to use.

[Caledonia]

Sword attachments where sweet, but the wrist-blade was too long. Felt Paul Anderson just wanted something to be cool without thinking about it....
I hated the way they flipped around too.

The blades looked horrendous. Who would use a slicing weapon against a creature that has acid for blood any way? Duh, accident waiting to happen. Should have tried to snap its kneck or beat it to death with a blunt weapon.

Didn't even bring acid proof armour...What a tit.

Who the hell voted yes???!!!

[Uncanny Antman]

Who the hell voted yes???!!!

  23 people of questionable taste, I'd say. 

[ShadowPred]

Have these people no shame!?

I liked the AVP wrist blades, but they were made of poor quality. They melted on first strike with the blood - acid of the aliens. They are the primary weapons of the predator. If they melt then the predator has no choice but to fight with his hands, and i don't think he would stand a chance as the aliens would tear him with their claws. I hope this time the wolf has good quality anti-acid wrist blades.

aliens have an exoskeleton or caparice not bones!

[Bishop2]

On the "Unrated" DVD, Anderson mentions that Predators going on an Alien hunt would, to his mind, need to have blades with a longer reach so as to avoid acid backsplash onto their body or armor.  Makes sense to me.

[Uncanny Antman]

  How very random.  Who or what are you responding to?


Regardless, at least one strain of Alien has bones, the one in the Predator 2 display case.

I voted yes, i liked the wristblades. Yeah they may have been big but they were long enough to kill an alien without the pred losing its hand.

[avpjunkie]

my opinion of the various wristblades in the movie is...

that the longer "alien hunt" wristblades were acid proof (although there's no evidence for or against this), but I like this idea none the less...

and the shorter "human hunt" wristblades are not acid proof, hence we see them melting in the film...

each pred had a unique "uber" weapon... Scar had the longer wristblades, Celtic would have had the biggest plasma caster (if they were'nt taken) and chopper had the super blades...

so celtic only had the "human hunt" wristblades to take on Grid, and they were'nt too effective...
