Predator can do no wrong in our eyes. We love this height-of-80’s-action movie. It does not get better than this.

When you are in a fight, competition, poker, don’t tip-off your opponent that you have a trick up your sleeve by changing your actions.

:55 The Making of Predator
Being expendable is never a good thing.
- According to Dillon (Carl Weathers), Dutch’s team is called in for the mission because they’re expendable.
Sometimes you can’t run and you’ve just got to make a stand.
- Dutch realized there’s no way the team was going to “get to the chopper” and they used their trap making skills in an effort to make a stand against the Predator.
Always be ready to adapt to every situation to give you an advantage and be smart to watch for things you can exploit in your opponent.
- Dutch realized that the Predator couldn’t see him when he was covered in mud and used this to his advantage.
You can shave without shaving cream.
- Sky and Dusty both follow Mac’s (Bill Duke) lead and both shave without shaving cream.
Never take your eyes off your target.
- Mac and Dillon screwed up by losing sight of the Predator and trying to flank a creature that blends into the background.
