Just watched the special addition and found out the Jaun Cluade Van Damme was the original Predator alien???? His character was supposed to be a "kung-fu alien" but his costume was so hot to work in he complained constantly of passing out in it! Also his costume was clumsy...looks like a duck with weird feet. Apparently, in the new costume he is in some first scenes in the movie but is un-billed. They wanted someone taller and scraped the kung-fu idea and re-designed the costume. Kevin Peter Hall got the role being over 7 foot tall! After making Predator 2 he died after being in a car accident and getting an AIDS infected blood transfusion.....he died 18 months later!...seems too quick!

I would love to have seen the Predator do the Van Damme splits!

Wow didn't know it was Van damme in there.
Thought the last AVP movie was a real let down. Are they making another one?
