Predator (1987)
Plot summary
Directed by: John McTiernan
Starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bill Duke, Carl Weathers, Elpidia Carrillo, Jesse Ventura, Kevin Peter Hall, Sonny Landham
Dutch (Arnold) is sent on a mission to destroy a rebel base in Vietnam and rescue POWs. Once they get there he discovers his friend lied and all the POWs were dead but one. They take her and suddenly the marines begin getting killed.
Revealing mistake: Mac and Dillon go after the Predator. The Predator is sitting in a tree, and Mac points him out to Dillon. They both agree that they see it and take position. Mac crawls underneath the alien and is killed by his laser. The Predator then sees Dillon and lasers his arm off. Dillon's arm falls to the ground with the gun firing. Quickly Dillon turns and reaches for the machine gun around his neck. When he turns you clearly see his bloody right stump and his right arm sticking out the bottom of his jacket. [Note: As far as I can work out, this has been cunningly edited out of the UK DVD version].
Trivia: Kevin Peter Hall, who plays the Predator, also appears as the pilot of the general's helicopter at the end of the film.
