Page "Predator (film)" Paragraph 28

According to Schwarzenegger, filming was physically demanding as he had to swim in very cold water and spent three weeks covered in mud for the climactic battle with the alien.

In addition, cast and crew endured very cold temperatures in the Mexican jungle that required heat lamps to be on all of the time.

Cast and crew filmed on rough terrain that, according to the actor, was never flat, " always on a hill.

We stood all day long on a hill, one leg down, one leg up.

It was terrible.

" Schwarzenegger also faced the challenge of working with Kevin Peter Hall, who could not see in the Predator suit.

The actor remembers, " so when he's supposed to slap me around and stay far from my face, all of a sudden, whap!

There is this hand with claws on it!

" Hall stated in an interview that his experience on the film, " wasn't a movie, it was a survival story for all of us.

" For example, in the scene where the Predator chases Dutch, the water was foul, stagnant and full of leeches.

Hall could not see out of the mask and had to rehearse his scenes with it off and then memorize where everything was.

The outfit was difficult to wear because it was heavy and off-balance.
