Predator: Difference between revisions

* [[Don't Explain the Joke]]: Subverted in the first movie, where Hawkins' explanation of his joke is the punchline.

{{quote|'''Hawkins:''' Billy. Billy! The other day, I was going down on my girlfriend, I said to her, "Jeez you got a big pussy. Jeez you got a big pussy." She said, "Why did you say that twice?" I said, "I didn't." [[Beat|...]] see, 'cuz of the echo.}}

* [[Egomaniac Hunter]]: For all their vaunted honor code, this is what the Predators really are when you boil it down; a race whose sole drive is to explore the galaxy, find the nastiest critters they can, then kill them to prove their own toughness and be able to brag about what [[Badass|Badasses]] they are.

* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Yautja typically do not hunt the weak, helpless, and/or innocent. In the [[Expanded Universe]], Predators without honor are hunted, their bodies dismembered and desecrated, and their heads disposed of, as opposed to being kept as a trophy. It's also shown that they check their targets; one identifies a toy gun in the second film, and refrains from killing a pregnant woman, even though she had been armed moments earlier.
