Ive always thought that in an early version that Dutch would be in a Keyes type role. Not as Keyes per se but he'd be leading a unit hunting The Predators
In the 1980s, the government guys were pretty much always the bad guys, so I don't know. Plus we can hear Jim Thomas in his own words say "Danny's character was
always the part we had envisioned for Arnold." Keyword=Always. That's why I'm trying to nail down some kind of source.
How Dutch in Danny's role have been? I don't know. Could Dutch have left the military gig entirely? Yeah, I can definitely see that. Would Dutch have become a cop? I don't know, maybe, sure. It could be a natural progression. While others just see gruesome gang killings, would Dutch have flashbacks and see the killings and this new player in town for what they really are, but no one believes him? Yeah, maybe. Then Keyes and the government come in revealing the new Predator found the helmet and guantlet in Val Verde and is now also after Dutch, challenged with the first human to kill a Predator? Yeah... I can see something like that.
