Has AvPR improved wih age?

For me I'd say Wolf is the best thing about the movie. The sad thing is I enjoyed it more then Predators.

Yeah...he was really memorable, cool design and concept

Watched this again a few days ago.  The only parts that are better for me are the Wolf scenes, and like it has been talked about on here since day one, too bad you cant see shit.  The scene of him emerging from the water would have been outstanding had they filmed it correctly, or had proper lighting or whatever their excuse is now.  I really wish they would take the time to fix the film.  However, I still HATE the repeated lines from their originals.  No one should ever say "get to the choppa" again in a Predator film.  Nor should they repeat ANY lines from other films, even the ugly mother F**ker line.  And finally, I still hate the Predalien concept.

It was the execution that was bungled.

You mean the AvP-R predalien design, right?

I'd kill a bunny for Predalien done right.

Stupid avpr style dreadlocks. The closest for me is original Dorman's concept.

I don't mind the dreds on that. They at least fit with the design. The ones in the film stuck out like sore thumbs.

Take the dreads off and I'd love it. I loathe dreadlocks on any of the designs. They're just not needed.

I'd take that one even with dreadlocks. In this image they look like hard spikes and are cool.

Like HuDaFuK, I like the design. However like Hicks, I think it would look better without the floppy dreads.

I love that artwork. Sadly, no one seems to have wanted to replicate it on screen. Instead we got...Chet.

I definitely prefer Dorman's PredAlien over any I've seen. The dreads flow back with the head and look better but I still don't think they're needed.

You would think that artist would quit shoehorning in the dreadlocks. It's not like we wouldn't know it's a Alien-Predator hybrid without them. I guess the first clue would be, oh I don't know, the big f**king mandibles! But, this is just one man's opinion.

There's a story about how Fox panicked over Chet's design, thinking it didn't have enough Predator in it when some kid said "cool Alien!" when he saw it.

"During this sculpting stage, however, particularly unusual feedback was received. "That 80/20 proportion changed a bit when a 14-year old happened to be walking through the halls of Fox, saw the maquette and said 'wow! Cool Alien!' This observation led to much discussion about how to make it look more like a Predator, and some last minute adding of dreadlocks to increase the Predator feel."

Omega has a very extensive article on the design of Chet, actually. I'd recommend giving it a read!
