Hi everyone, just registered and this is my first post. I watched Predators on DVD last night and really enjoyed it. I had some thoughts while watching it and despite spending a couple of hours browsing old threads here I cannot see them mentioned, so here goes.
Firstly, Noland is probably insane, which calls into question pretty much all of his claims. He has an imaginary friend and if this was earth he would be cooped up in a hospital for his own safety. We only have his word for it that he's been on the planet ten seasons. He might only have arrived a few weeks or months before, and then gone mad. Also, we only have his word that he's killed 2 or 3 predators. Instead he may have killed none. He may have just picked up a suit from a predator that was killed by someone else, or killed by another predator. (No way to prove any of that, I know.)
Secondly, it occurred to me while watching the film that if the two tribes of predators hated each other that much then they probably would not have arrived together. If they did not, then each tribe would have arrived on its own ship and set up its own camp. They both have the same goals: to find, track and kill the other tribe's members and to find, track and kill the new game that falls from the sky each day.
If this is true, then there's a second ship somewhere.
