you mean predator was a faliure as in not a good movie but still made money? you can read some of this in the hunted too. but van dam also said that trying to jump or anything in the pred suit would cause you to break an ankle or something. and someone did then they modified the suit and got kevin peter hall. also in predator 2 in the scene were the pred gets his arm cut off and is falling off the side of a building is not kevin it is a one armed actor that showed up because kevin was sick or busy.
me likey so far. black i dunno why it was regarded as a failure, possibly becuase it didnt have all the hype associated with it. it was more of a sleeper hit that generated a remarkable fan base after the fact.
Kevin wasnt sick or busy lol they were just like holy C**p lol the guy was a stunt man and he had one arm like doc said, saw the same deal on ripely's believe it or not.
