A few things ...
1) The Predator seemed to have an infinite supply of that blue goop that had the staggeringly useful property of incinerating anything it touched. One wonders why they don't just walk around w\ cannisters of that attached to a device & torch shit like napalm? Or at the very least, coat your blades in it & immediately chuck those boomerangs w\ the jagged metal arms jutting from them at anything that fucking moves.
2) In Predator 2, they send like ten hunters to go gather a dead body. Same in AvP. However, when it comes to a search-and-destroy/containment operation on an alien-Predator hybird that took out the entire ship full of Predators, they send one dude.
3) I thought only queens laid eggs. I was wondering where all these aliens were coming from till the one scene where the hybrid forces them (I assume) down the throat of the chicks in the pregnancy ward. Anyone got an explanation for this? Leish?
4) Since the Predator is using the blue goop, one assumes he's trying to destroy evidence (like the aliens & humans they've killed). So, one would also assume he's trying to keep something of a low profile. He's not here to hunt humans. He's here specifically to take out the hybrid & anything else it may've started. So, why in the fuck does he take time out of his busy schedule to flay the cop & string his corpse from a tree (other than nostalgia from the original Predator)? He could've easily sliced & gooped him. End of problem & no ones knows you're there.
5) The gov't sends in the nat'l guard to the town. Only to nuke the town later. Which was probably done on the recommendation of that chick seen talking to the G-man seen at the end of the flick (the one that impersonates the colonel on the radio). Why send in troops if you just plan to blast the whole fucking place anyway?
6) You are the Predator. Some puny human grabbed one of your most useful weapons. You encounter the puny human a few minutes later. Do you a) kill puny human (which would take all of a few seconds) & reclaim your weapon? or b) ignore puny human & insanely powerful gun, then proceed to engage an entire swarm of aliens in hand-to-hand combat by yourself? If you answered (b), you probably wrote the screenplay for AvP : Requiem.
