Arnold Schwarzenegger as Dutch with a gun in his lap in Predator
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Predator director John McTiernan details the disagreements he had with the studio over the gun usage in the film. Released in 1987, Predator stars Arnold Schwarzenegger as Dutch, the leader of an elite team of commandos who encounter a lethal alien while carrying out a mission in Central America.
Well, for one thing. I don’t just turn in a single shot. I turn out sequences. I’ve thought of an entire sequence through, and I know this shot leads to this shot. So, when somebody is just saying they’re going to start cutting in close-ups of gun barrels in the middle of this, it’s basically because they think they’ll make money as gun pornography.
So, I thought, naively, that I would control the meaning of the scenes so that I could morally say it was alright. I staged it so that when they finished shooting, a guy comes running up, and the first thing anybody says is we hit nothing. Okay, so I thought I was morally off the hook with his gun pornography, because I had said guns are not the answer to everything.
