Predator/Awesome: Difference between revisions

=== ''Predator'' ===

* The unveiling of [[BFG|Ol']] [[Gatling Good|Painless]], and the havoc that Blain unleashes with it.

* The [[More Dakka]] scene after {{spoiler|Blain's}} death, which has the surviving team members unloading their weapons into the Guatemala jungle after the Predator.

** Counts as a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] for director John McTiernan as well, for making a [[An Aesop]] about gun violence that was, dare we say it, ''subtle?!''

=== ''Predator 2'' ===

* {{spoiler|Jerry's}} [[Heroic Sacrifice]] may have been [[Senseless Sacrifice|senseless]], but that doesn't make it any less awesome.

* After {{spoiler|Jerry}} is killed, the obnoxious reporter (Morton Downey, Jr.) who was been following Harrigan around finally gets what's coming to him:

'''Harrigan''': ''[punching him right in the face]'' '''[[Precision F-Strike|FUCK YOU!!!]]''' }}

* Harrigan single-handedly takes down the AUG-and-grenade launcher-armed Colombians with his car and some old shotgun. The Predator itself was impressed enough after it witnessed this.

* {{spoiler|When the Predator switches its vision over to ultraviolet}}.

* The ending certainly qualifies.

** Harrigan's trophy almost qualifies as a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]].

 

* Stan's showing enough cunning to {{spoiler|wear body armor under his prison outfit, playing dead after getting hit with a plasma caster, and then having the balls to leap on the lead Predator's back and shiv the hell out of him, giving his team time to escape before getting trophy killed}}.

* This exchange:

'''Royce''': "No, I'm not." {{spoiler|(Intercepts the attack and ''jams the scalpel into Edwin's throat.)'' "But I'm ''fast''."}} }}

 

=== ''Aliens vs. Predators'' ===

* Weland Sr. to the Predator.

* Lex watches Rousseau loading her pistol.

'''Rousseau''': "Same principle as a condom. I'd rather have one and not need it, then need it and not have one." }}

* Lex impaling one of the aliens to death as it tries to get her. It was so awesome in fact that it impressed the Predator enough to allow her to accompany him.

* When the Predator demonstrates exactly what his self-destruct device will do to the nest.

 

=== ''Predator: Concrete Jungle'' ===

* Predator: CJ is a very YMMV game. The story may seem like somebody's bad fanfic that got lucky enough to be made into a game. Especially groan-worthy when we find out that {{spoiler|MOTHER is actually a survivor of the Scarface Predator's 1930 rampage, specifically Hunter Borgia's mother, and it turns out that she is in love with Scarface, and had been trying to attract him back to Neonopolis so she could see him again.}} However, this moment ends up redeeming itself when {{spoiler|After admitting her love to the Scarface Predator, he responds by impaling her on his combistick. The look on her face is priceless.}}

* In the ending, {{spoiler|before executing Hunter Borgia}}, the Scarface Predator uses his voice replicator to play back {{spoiler|MOTHER's}} words back to him, repeating them over and over in the form of a [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]. {{spoiler|The look on Hunter's face during this is ''[[Oh Crap|priceless]]'':}}
