Anyway, i would love seeing these flicks in the future but these movies never get enough cash for this to happen.
I really hope they dont do it in Iraq or other middle eastern countries, that stuff is played out.

They should go to Africa if they are going to do present time. Have some special forces doing a mission against some local militia screwing around then the pred pops in to kill everyone.
Haha well done... Extremely well done... This is practically the best idea I've heard... This gentlemen... This is Predator...

Yes, set it in Mogadishu. That way we can have a desert and urban environment with Pirates, Predators and Voodoo magic.

We are shown exactly what the beast sees, though.
Yup, which is hard to see for a human. Predators aren't humans. The end. Movie shows he can track, he can track; your inability to distinguish people from a distance doesn't mean it can't.

US forces are unlikely ever to go back there.

Dude, it's just stripes of colour. The Predator can't magically see something in it you and I can't. That's what the mask is filtering and that's what it sees. Until we get a movie which states otherwise, it can't discriminate faces at a distance.

We can say they might be telepathic or might have microscopic little tracking devices, but the movie doesn't show those, either. Based purely on screen, once it's got prey on screen, it'll be very good seeing where it's (immediately) gone, but their version of heat vision is rubbish for facial recognition.

And we certainly don't see any 'Terminator 3'-style graphics of the mask zooming in on a fingerprint database or an iris ID, either. :)

And, see, this is what should happen. Predators aren't omnipotent. They've got tools which are amazingly good for certain situations, sure - but are going to be piss-poor in others. Just like human beings have.

It's infra-red. It's stripes of colour to us because our infra-red cameras weren't so great back then.

Show where the movies establish Predators can't differentiate people (emphasis on the word Predators, not whether you can) because their vision is shit and you'll have a plothole. Until then, the logic of the movies is they see and identify individuals just fine.

Plot Interval

And the movie did show him not being able to differentiate heat signatures. It's debatable but very valid. Do you know which scene I'm talkin` aboot?

SiL

The closest we've seen is the original Predator mistaking a partially covered heat signal for maybe being Dutch in Predator -- but it was obscured. You might be referring to the subway scene, but nothing says the Predator is having any trouble with anything other than the fact there's a shitload of armed people between him and his target.

That was precisely it SiL, that is why it was debatable. Other than that, even if a Predator was used to his vision doesn't mean that it uses it to identify things. Sight is the Predator's inferior sense, no debate there. Even if it has adapted to using it, there is nothing it can do with it hence why the helmets.

I wouldn't be against a sequel in which Dutch is the President of USA.

With a vehemently anti-Predator foreign policy.
