Think you know your Predator facts? Well now’s your chance to put that knowledge to good use because we’re hosting a contest sponsored by the good folks at Sideshow Collectibles and the winner takes home a Hot Toys AvP Elder Predator figure, valued at $129.99!

How to Enter:

Entering this contest is a breeze… all you have to do is send us an email from the contact page answering the following questions:

1. In the early stages of filming Predator 1, a completely different suit was originally used as the alien hunter and quickly scraped in favor of a new suit designed by Stan Winston Studios and worn by Kevin Peter Hall. Who was the actor that wore the original monster suit for 2 days before walking off the set?

2. Who came up with the idea of having mandibles on the Predator?

3. Name the actor from Predator 2 that has been killed by a Predator, an Alien and a Terminator.

4. Why didn’t Arnold Schwarzenegger agree to join the Predator 2 cast?

5. At the end of Predator 2, the elder Predator throws an old gun to Danny Glover’s character. Inscribed on the weapon is “Raphael Adolini 1715”… who is this referring to?

6. Throughout the film Alien vs Predator, Paul Anderson pays tribute to the older Alien and Predator movies several times with scenes that are directly referencing those older movies. Describe at least 1 scene where this is done and which movie and scene it is referencing.

7. For AvP, ADI is the company that did the special effects and props. What does ADI stand for?

BONUS QUESTION – If you correctly answer this question along with the other 7 questions above, your name will be added a second time to the final pool of names:

During the filming of Predator 1, Stan Winston’s crew pulled a prank on Stan himself in his hotel room. Stan immediately thought that the always-joking Arnold Schwarzenegger had pulled off the prank so he retaliated by doing the same thing to Arnold’s room. 20 years later, Stan found out that it was in fact the CREW that pranked him all along and not Arnold. What was the prank?

You must answer the first 7 questions correctly to have your name entered in to the draw. If you answer the bonus question as well as the 7 questions correctly, your name will be added twice! If you answer the bonus question correctly but do not correctly answer the first 7 questions, your name will be entered once. We will NOT contact you to tell you how many were correct, but the answers will be posted when we announce the winner! Read the questions carefully, do your homework and then send your answers via the contact page.
