Meanwhile, humanity also sends fighter Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn) from the future to protect Sarah.

This film spawned a franchise – which includes three sequels and an upcoming prequel, Prey– as well as two crossover movies with “those other aliens” from Alien. But really, none of them matter much when it’s Arnold Schwarzenegger’s turn (and his biceps) as Alan “Dutch” Schaefer, a Vietnam veteran and current soldier for hire. In truth, he was the one who brought the predator original to its cult status. The premise is simple: Dutch and a ragtag military rescue team, including Mac (Bille Duke), Poncho (Richard Chaves), and Blain (Jesse Ventura), as well as Al Dillon (Carl Weathers) from the CIA, are sent to Guatemala to retrieve a group of politicians whose helicopter has sunk in the jungle. But the situation turns terrifying when they find themselves being stalked by some kind of stealthy and highly advanced creature, which is hunting them for sport.

Highlanders (1986)
“There can only be one Highlander!” That catchphrase is especially appropriate for this movie, a wild mix of high fantasy, time travel, Sean Connery in all his Scottish glory (albeit playing Spanish), and lots and lots of ’80s action movie camping. Russell Mulcahy, director of the first music video to air on MTV, brings an astonishing degree of madness and distortion to this film that captures the majesty of the Scottish Highlands and fast-cutting neon sequences that travel through time virtually on top of each other. the other. It works strangely. Queen provides the soundtrack to this savage film about an immortal Scottish swordsman who must journey to slay his last remaining immortal foe to become The One Highlander.
