This is the official battle of the ages. The greatest hunter vs the greatest race of aliens. The two movie icons, which have spawned so much controversy. I take a look back now, to the very origins of the greatest duo in the world? Alien and Predator!! I will be judging the two movies on different points of interest including: Sci-fi-yness, how creative the aliens were, the movie body count, the protagonists, the way they ended and the spin-offs. So without further delay I bring to you Alien Vs Predator, That Battle of the Films!
Sci-fi-yness:
Alien defiantly takes the cake here and eats it too. Set in the future (point 1) a ship (point 2) known as the Nostromo follows a distrest beacon through deep space. The AI on board (point 3), known as ?Mother? wakes up the crew so they can investigate the signal. The crew discover a desolate alien spaceship (point 4) where they find the former race of aliens (point 5) have been destroyed by another alien race (point 6) which by now has turned their ship into some hive world (point 7). The crew find a large cavern full of alien eggs, and when the foolish yet inquisitive Mr Kane goes to investigate one, he gets an unexpected and much unneeded alien blowjob, which he later finds himself pregnant to a little baby alien. Aww, cute, if not gory and bloodthirsty. Just like real life pregnancies I suppose. (Point 8).
Predator on the other hand is about Arnold Schwarzenegger and his crew of buff super-humans who go out and tackle a g terrorist group in Central America to free some prisoners. This is where they meet the Predator. The ultimate hunter in the galaxy. Sadly, the sci-fi-yness factor only comes of the Predator and his range of unique weapons and equipment.
Alien 1. Predator 0.
Alien creativity:
What can be said? I do believe that the phallic extraterrestrial created from the disconcerting mind of famous artist H.R Giger has once more taken the frikken cake, being the sneaky little thief that it is. The first art designs of the Alien had it sporting a penis for a tongue (not a lot has changed since it?s now basically a penis with teeth) and a penis for a tail, and it went on merry trips raping women. The alien life cycle is something that made it famous. Having three main stages in its life: first being that of the face rapist. Eggs are laid into your stomach for a little baby alien to grow inside of. When it feels all big and strong out burst number two, the chest buster. Its name is pretty much self-explanatory as it busts through your chest. This little guy goes around eating anything and everything until he becomes a big strong xenomorph, the third and last stage of its life. This isn?t including the Queen and different types of hosts, which spawn different types of babies.
As for Predator, he?s just the stereotypical hunter complete with fish nettings, invisibility cloak and laser guns. Because all hunters now days should use a laser gun to kill their pray. This is why I shop at Purple Rain?s Laser and Co. If it isn?t quality, it isn?t Purple Rain Lasers.
Score: Alien 2. Predator 0.
Body count:
Well, it is an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie. This means lots of bodies and a lot of explosions. Between Schwarzenegger and Predator, it seems like a race for who can kill and skin as many bodies as possible. Schwarzenegger missing out because he didn?t skin a body once; although he did stab a guy with a machete and tell him to ?stick around.?
Alien didn?t have as many deaths in it, since it was only a small crew of seven. The body count isn?t going to exceed that. Take off one since one of the dead crew was actually a robot.
Score: Alien 2. Predator 1.
Protagonists:
Hmm, this was a bit of a toughie. On one hand we have Sigourney Weaver. She?s one of the first female actors to be the main protagonist. She basically carved the way for more female actors to take up the role of being the hot and sassy, lady in charge instead of the usual, hot and sassy underdog. Then we have Arnold Schwarzenegger and that basically says it for itself. But at the end of the day, I?ll have to give Predator one point since Schwarzenegger was also backed up by Jesse Ventura who delivered the line, ?I ain?t got time to bleed.?
Score: Alien 2. Predator 2.
Endings:
This would be one that Predator exceeds in. The wounded alien hunter sets off a huge explosion, which blows apart half the jungle in a last attempt to kill poor old Arnold Schwarzenegger. Yet, due to the fact that he?s a mother fucking god, that man walks out of harms way in epic strides. A man who has killed robots, terrorists and even a demon, has now added, galactic celestial hunter to his list of things he?s killed.
In Aliens, the antagonist was sucked out of the airlock. Nothing special, no explosion, no fiery exits. I?m somewhat let down.
Score: Alien 2. Predator 3.
The spin-offs:
Alien was so enjoyable, 3 sequels came of it, although only one of them was any good. Aliens is truly shining star in the series, which pushed the boundaries with both the franchise and the sci-fi genre in general. A great film to watch.
Predator sadly, is let down by its predecessor. Predator 2 shoed off some new moves and gadgets, but the movie lacked anything good that was in the first.
Onto the Alien Vs Predator series: the Aliens rocked the horse hard in this movie. End of topic.
Score: Alien 3. Predator 3.
Oh people, this is a close one. In an epic last minute duel I concocted one last battle to see who is the true victor of the series.
Who am I most biased for:
Aliens.
Score: Alien 4. Predator 3.
