*Spoilers* First Draft by Rodriguez vs. Revised Draft by Finch and Litvak

[Mutha_Brucka]

I have read the revised draft a few times, but haven't been able to sit and read all of Rodriguez's first draft. Can anyone tell me (and possibly anyone else who wants to know) if there are any comparisons between the two scripts? As far as I have gotten in Rodriguez's script I haven't really seen any.

Rodriguez's original draft was completely horrible. It was infact a steaming pile of crap. While some ideas could fit into the Predator mythos, most of them were just outright contradictory and plain outirght stupid. He even had written in his original draft two Predators actually peeing on the Wilson character. When that happened, things stopped making sense, and what was a pile of crap turned into a puddle of diarreah.

Michael Finch and Alex Litvak's script is alot better by a thousand miles. Most of Rodriguez's ideas were thrown out the window save for a few things, and some of the newer ideas fit into the mythos but some ideas were just redundant and unneeded such as the Super Predators.

Things stopped making sense at the very beginning of the script, probably when the whole pirate thing started.

We should all feel lucky we are not getting a Predator film based on that awful original script.

Granted, but we should feel worried about the sequel as he mentioned that he wanted to use ideas from the first draft script as well.

Seriously, the slavery idea, the trading idea, the translator devices,  the Predator King, don't need to be used. At all. And I hope we never see them.

It was just too horrifyingly ridiculous and stupid. Just all around shit that script was.

It's like he thought to himself "How can i make this as shitty as possible to piss people off?"
It reads like a parody, not a serious predator movie.

Either that or he smoked reefer while writing the first draft.

That's exactly what he did. That was his intention. So what you just said wasn't funny.
