Interesting to watch for a Predator-fan

A friend of mine bought "Predator - Special Edition" on DVD today, and I watched almost all the stuff on the two DVDs.

"If it bleeds we can kill it" was an interesting show about how "Predator" was made. There were interviews with most of the people who were much involved in the movie, some of the interviews were old but still interesting. It takes about half an hour, and you are well entertained if you like "Predator". I would rate this half hour show 7/10.

There is also much other stuff on the two DVDs, I really liked watching "Predator" with McTiernan comment on the movie. He mentions how scenes were done and what problems they were facing during the shooting. Actors, writers and other people are also mentioned during this commentary, and some of the funny things that the crew experienced. Personally I was happy to see that Sven-Ole Thorsen was mentioned by McTiernan, he is the bearded actor who always appears in a few seconds in almost every Schwarzenegger-movie.

"If it bleeds we can kill it" was entertaining like the rest of the stuff on the two DVDs, and I would certainly recommend it for all fans of "Predator".
