[WINNER CHOSEN] Predator - Play Exclusive

In celebration of this 200th post and the arrival of my copy of the German Lenticular Steelbook of Predator, I'm giving away my obsolete but sealed and mint Play Exclusive. :scat:

Just thank this post and post the first time you ever saw Predator. I just happened to stumble upon it on television late at night all alone when I was about 12. It felt like I discovered a cinematic treasure all by myself and I couldn't wait to tell my friends about it the morning after! :movie:

The first time I ever saw/heard of Predator, I was 9 years old (maybe I was 8?) and my dad brought home a rented copy of it from the local Video Store (Movie Hut - they had these huge BROWN plastic cases they put the VHS tapes in). He brought it home to watch and let me being the oldest (and my grandmother always let me watch horror/sci-fi movies even though they were rated R and I was young), he let me watch. I remember being terrified something could hide invisible to our eyes.

Great times, I love watching this movie and I always feel like I'm that age again with my dad watching it for the first time. He's still around, and I love him for letting me enjoy these movies as a kid. Plus, I got to use all the cool Arnold one-liners with my friends!

My step-dad showed it to me about 10 years ago cause he loves all the 80's action films. Bought the Predator collection as soon as it was released :scat:

Epic giveaway, thanks dude :thumbs:

No idea when I first watched it, if I was to guess it would either be with my dad or borrowing the VHS from him.
This guess would apply to about half the movies I own/have seen, I have definitely inherited his love of movies.
 
I snuck and stayed up late one night to watch it on HBO. I had to scour the newspaper tv guide for weeks in order to find out the exact time it was coming on haha
 
First time I saw it was around the time of the Predator remake movie. They try to hype you up by playing the orginal on TV and that's when I saw it :scat: thanks for the give-away !
 
Toonminator,

Thanks for the give-away contest!

The first time I saw Predator was in the late 1980s, when I was a teenager. I remember thinking how cool it was to see so much muscle in one movie - Arnold, Carl Weathers, Jesse "The Body" Ventura (pre-politics), and others. And what a fun movie it was to watch!

Looking back on it now, it was sort of the father of The Expendables, in a sense. And there's certainly nothing wrong with that!
