How Fugitive was captured?

[Kradan]

I think one of the problem that "so so" editing of The Predator causes is that it's unclear how Stargazer captured Fugitive. Prequel novel realy has showed that capturing Predator alive is tough thing to do and at the end of the book trained specificaly for such task team was completely out of game.

So, i just interested to know is there some missed footage or something in leaked script or just fan theories?

I think poor filmmaking was responsible.

Didn't Quinn kind of knocked the Fugitive out on the prologue? I assumed when Stargazer arrived it was still down on the ground.

In the leaked script I believe it indicated the Fugitive was playing possum and wanted to be captured.

Hmm... I'm not sure but that could have also been mentioned on the novelization.

Maybe. I never checked out the novelization.

Here's some relevant script snippets:

He was playing possum.

The art book also mentions this. He needed to get away from Upgrade and he needed to rearm himself due to the crash. As a result he allows himself to get captured by Stargazer and then takes gear to continue fleeing.

So so ? You're being kind ! Sometimes it's so so, but sometimes it's catastrophic ! How in the hell did Olivia Munn teleport herself behind the upgrade at the end ? She was miles away from the flying ship a few minutes before that !

Bike she stole from a police man. (IIRC)

I meant in the final movie we got.

Suspension of disbelief. I think at that point in the movie, we were just supposed to go with the flow

Why did he just leave his gauntlet and mask laying on the jungle floor? How did it magically fall off of him, and why wouldn't he just grab it on his way out of the pod? Why does he need to play dead to get to the facility and get the same equipment back that was right there on the ground? Seven months later and the plot holes still have my head spinning...!

Yeah i guess fugitive should've retrieved his gear instead of taking time partially skinning a dude. But hey, a callback's a callback.
