And I think he didn't understand that he thought he was going to be running through the jungle and all the girls were going to see his handsome pretty face. And I think when he got down there, he realized nobody was going to see his pretty face. He was going to be inside of some type of suit.

Not in that suit. No. And they fired him. And they got Kevin Peter Hall, a seven foot one black man. And Kevin filled out the suit a lot better. How much? I don't know. I never saw the predator. Ever. What do you mean? Until a screening in Chicago. Wow. And what's good about that, I'm not supposed to see it. It's invisible, isn't it?
