Revealing mistake: As the Predator tends to his wounded leg, one of his claws can be seen bending as if made of rubber.

9. 3/10. Possibly one of the best of Schwarzenegger's career. The idea of this alien hunting these mercenaries in the jungle for sport intrigued me. I liked the look of the alien as he was a mix of both scary and kick ass warrior. He really gave Schwarzenegger a run for his money. If anything, more movies should've done like Predator, sadly only Nemesis 2:Nebula followed this great idea. My opinion on Arnold Schwarzenegger's 10 Best Movies:1. Terminator 2:Judgement Day,2. Conan The Barbarian,3. Total Recall,4. Predator,5. The Terminator,6. Twins,7. True Lies,8. Escape Plan,9. Terminator 3:Rise Of The Machines,10. (tie) Conan The Destroyer/Kindergarten Cop/Jingle All The Way/End Of Days.
So this didn't really work for me. The Predator is a cool character on its own, but is not strong enough to support the rest of the movie. I did not care for really any of the characters; there was not a lot about them to get invested in. I was slightly invested in the character Mac, and the main character Butch, but only because of the charisma Arnold Schwarzenegger brings to the role. The biggest problem I have with this movie is the Alan Silvestri score because it does not match the tone of this movie and takes away any tension that the movie is trying to build.

Trivia: Jesse Ventura was delighted to find out from the wardrobe department that his arms were 1" bigger than Arnold Schwarzenegger's. He suggested to Schwarzenegger that they measure arms, with the winner getting a bottle of champagne. Ventura lost because Schwarzenegger had told the wardrobe department to tell Ventura that his arms were bigger.

Chosen answer: Yes. The predator can be seen not in the immediate shot after, but the one a few seconds later as they are seen walking away.

Before or after Ramirez gets hit in the face with the branch?
About 3 seconds before. If you look VERY closely (probably needing to pause the screen around 00:40:55 - about a minute after Billy said, "There's something in the trees"), there appears to be a transparent image of The Predator in the background above the major's (Arnold's) right shoulder. If this is meant to be The Predator, its body is curved around a tree trunk and its arms are extended toward the right of the screen (near Arnold's right ear), camouflaged as green leaves.

The Predator - in a recognizable form - really wasn't visible until another minute later @ 00:41:55 when it was on the ground approaching Hawkins and the woman.

That's a tree, not the predator. We see Billy and Dutch head on in "predator vision" as they're talking, which means the predator is directly in front and slightly above them (unknown distance). The thing you're referring to would be in the wrong position.
No, it can't. I've just been through this several times and the predator isn't shown on screen at any time during or just after after the conversation.
