"When the legend becomes fact, print the legend." So goes one of the most famous lines from the classic Western feature The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. In the case of the Predator film franchise, the "legend" surrounding this saga of sci-fi movies largely revolves around all the love people have for that original film. A string of subpar sequels (save for the excellent 2022 feature Prey) have only made it exceedingly easier to appreciate the glorious craftsmanship and sheer fun on display throughout that initial 1987 Predator title. No wonder the “legend” of this inaugural motion picture solely surrounds the quality of the final product rather than all the torment it took to make the movie.
