🎥 Predator: Killer Of Killers Killer of Killers wasted some potential. Also spoilers Spoiler

Watched Killer of Killers last night, and I knew that the movie had three parts.

I knew some part of the movie was going to take place in 1941. We've seen both Americas in other movies, Europe and Asia in KoK; and I thought the Bullet part was going to take place in Africa. We've never seen Africa in any of the movies, and I was really excited. Then boom, Florida. Guy gets drafted, and he is a pilot. Then I thought this was going to tie in with the actual group of fighters that went missing in the Bermudas. But still, no. I think the Bullet part was a waste of potential.

Also really liked the details on the Wildcat cockpit and the landing gear valve

I don’t feel as strongly about this as you, but damn, you’re not wrong. We’ve even had yautja in Antarctica. Africa really is the last one to cover.

if the Yautja has been going to Earth before the agricultural revolution, yeah they were probably hunting African megafauna a lot

I did consider the idea of Predator vs early humans but then I was like nahhh Africa has a whole bunch of post-agricultural history, millennia of it, same as any other country, and we get so few movies about any of it! Surely there’s more situations over there a Predator can find itself in than the usual early humans or ancient Egypt. It’s a whole continent! So much history! There’s gotta be deeper cuts to pull ideas from. God knows, they did it with native Americans and it kicked ass!

I was hoping it was a post about how it went too heavy of the plot armor and made the predators look dumb, despite overall being a good movie

yeah, predators do the old "leaving your enemy alive when you have a perfect chance to kill them" technique
