Revision as of 05:25, 11 August 2011
Predators is the latest installment in the Predator movie franchise that began with 1987's Predator and continued with 1990's Predator 2. The 2010 sequel was produced by Robert Rodriguez and stars Adrien Brody as Royce, a mercenary who finds himself stranded on a strange planet along with seven other human 'predators'.
See the Discussion section for behind the scenes images from the film.
The following weapons were used in the film Predators:
AA-12
Royce (Adrien Brody) carries an AA-12 automatic 12 Gauge shotgun throughout the movie, it is fitted with a drum magazine loaded with Frag-12 rounds, and fitted with a Surefire M900 weaponlight foregrip. The custom camo job appears to be similar to the US Army's pixelized UCP pattern.
M134 Hand held Minigun
Nikolai (Oleg Taktarov), a member of the Spetsnaz Alpha Group carries a hand-held M134 Minigun substituting for a GShG-7.62, or a Slostin machine gun that is described in the script, reminiscent of the gun used by Jesse Ventura in the original film. When Nikolai first uses the Minigun a stoppage occurs. Nikolai is forced to fix the jam and reload the weapon. Nikolai later uses the Minigun to slay two Predator hounds and to lay down suppressing fire on Predators before the gun is destroyed in battle by a well aimed shot from a Predator Plasmacaster.
During a lot of the firing scenes the barrels appear as if they are stationary. Likely the weapon had a fire rate very close to the film frame rate making the barrels appear to not rotate. During the non-firing scenes Taktarov carries a very obviously non-firing replica. The most obvious telltale sign is that there is no central shaft attaching the four barrel clamp discs on the non-firing prop.
Interesting to note about this film is that the Minigun's power supply appears to be stored in the actor's backpack. There is a brief scene in the Predator camp where the actor fires the gun while walking and the power cables can be seen leading from the gun and into the backpack.
Blaser R93 LRS2
Isabelle (Alice Braga), an IDF sniper, carries a Blaser R93 Sniper Rifle fitted with an Elcan DigitalHunter scope (substituting for the Heckler & Koch PSG1 described in the script). In several scenes, we hear the scope adjusting even though she isn't hitting any of the buttons. Note: this is due to an auto-focus feature on the scope, not an error in the movie. Isabelle uses this weapon to take down Predator hounds and uses it to wound a Predator near the film's finale. She also attempts to take down another hunted alien but after what appears to be a great shot at a fast moving target, she notes that she actually missed.
AKMS
Mombasa (Mahershalalhashbaz Ali) , a member of an RUF death squad, carries an AKMS rifle with the stock folded up throughout the movie, he once uses it to save Stans from an attacking Predator Hound when they first encounter them.
Heckler & Koch MP5K
Cuchillo (Danny Trejo), a Mexican Drug Cartel enforcer, is seen with two Heckler & Koch MP5K's fitted with braided leather covers on the foregrips strapped to his back, in a manner similar to Chuck Norris' Mini Uzi harness in Invasion U.S.A..
Heckler & Koch HK45
A Heckler & Koch HK45 with a custom compensator is the sidearm of Isabelle (Alice Braga). She draws it to face a Predator Hound.
Custom Beretta 92FS Inox
A custom Beretta 92FS Inox with ivory grips is carried by Hanzo (Louis Changchien). The compensator was custom built by armorer Steve Karnes (AKA Phoenixent).The Yakuza assassin uses it until he acquires a katana from Noland's weapon cache.
M1911A1
When the group stumble upon a dead American soldier, he is grasping an empty M1911A1 with the slide locked back. Mombasa is later seen pulling it. When his MP5K's are empty, Cuchillo is seen pulling an engraved gold plated M1911A1. Royce is also seen with one, though it is kept holstered for the entirety of the movie, and therefore is unidentified.
Tokarev TT-33
After his Minigun is destroyed by one of the Predators, Nikolai (Oleg Taktarov) is seen using a Tokarev TT-33 he was carrying. He fires it at a Predator in Noland's hideout when he goes back to save Edwin.
Mk 2 hand grenade
Several Mk 2 hand grenades are seen among the weapons in Noland's (Laurence Fishburne) arsenal. Royce (Adrien Brody) later strings several of them together in a trap for the 'Berserker' Predator.
M18A1 Claymore
When Nikolai (Oleg Taktarov) sees Noland's weapons cache, he eyes a M18A1 Claymore anti-personnel mine on the table. Nikolai apparently grabbed the Claymore mine offscreen, because he is seen using it prominently later.
Noland's weapons cache
When the group are taken to Noland's cave, they see he's collected a mixture of weapons, some human and some alien. There's also a 26.5mm Flare launcher which is used later in the film.
