Wait I think you've jogged my memory.In Predator 2, Keyes mentiones that they were an "elite special forces team" to the cop before he goes into the slaughterhouse, right?

I checked my DVD to confirm. Quote: "Ten years ago, one of his kind stalked and eliminated an elite Special Forces crew in Central America."

Thanks Walper.

There's no reason they couldn't have been an elite special forces team that was also a mercenary outfit. That was the implication in the first movie. Remember, the US already sent in an elite special forces team who got slaughtered. Dutch's team found them without any skin.

As for Predator 2, well... who the hell gives a crap about it?

Green Berets as I recall.

I do. I think it was a great movie, nothing wrong with it.

I think at the time, the movie was playing off of the US spec ops feast in south America. It was an implication, though the dialouge pretty much say's their US spec ops, which eliminates mercs. It's possible that mercs can be ex-SF but SF doens't use SF.

Though, I wonder if Arnorld didn't hunt down Glover after his incident, just to remind himself that it *did* happen and he wasn't crazy. Perhaps the two hunted down the chick in AVP ~15 years later just to make sure they weren't crazy.

Or maybe he hunted them down in order to erase all evidence of any sequels. I could see that.

since there was a sequel, he either failed *not an option for Arnold* or just wanted to grope the two.
