Anway what was with that 4-barrelled rocket launcher anyway. Was it based on a real weapon in any way? Or did the producers just go "ARNOLD CANNOT DESTROY WITH A PUNY PEASHOOTER MORE BARRELS ONE IS NOT ENOUGH MAKE IT BIGGER OH GOD YES I'M NEARLY THERE"?

Surprisingly it's actually a real fucking weapon.
Meet, the M202A1 Flame Assault Shoulder Weapon (F.L.A.S.H)
info contained below:
DESCRIPTION
The M202A1 multishot rocket launcher (Flash) is a lightweight, reusable, four-tube rocket launcher. It is half as heavy as the M9A1-7 and M2A1-7 portable flamethrowers, has five times the range against point targets, and requires less servicing and maintenance.
The Flash can be used in both an offensive and defensive role because it is lightweight, has an extended range, and has a minimal maintenance requirement. Due to the weapon's accuracy and the trajectory of the rocket, it can get into areas and enclosures which other weapons cannot enter. It can produce personnel casualties in bunkers, buildings, and covered or open foxholes, as well as damage unarmored vehicles and destroy combustible supplies, ammunition, and materiel.
The M202A1 produces a psychological effect -- the brilliant splash of the bursting warhead makes it an excellent weapon to suppress RPG and Sagger missile firing sites and when fired near armored vehicles, will normally make the crew button-up.
The Flash may be employed like other direct fire weapons with the assault element or with a supporting element as a supporting or covering weapon. The M74 rocket is normally employed by infantry elements in the assault for the same purpose as flamethrowers; however, targets can be engaged at a greater range and with greater accuracy with this weapon than with the portable flamethrowers. Thus, the M202A1 gunner is less vulnerable to enemy fire than flamethrower operators.
I'd just like to make it known that i watch Predator something like once a month. Every month. It is quite possibly the most perfect and watchable movie of all time. Best quotes ever, ridiculously high ratio of badasses present, and motherfucking Ol' Painless.
The best line to paraphrase...i use it on my wife all the time. "You [insert infraction here] one more time, i'll bleed ya. Real quiet. Leave ya here. Got that?"
I was actually just talking to a friend of mine this past weekend how i was gonna make that arm clasp screencap in the OP into a t-shirt, that just says "Dillon you son of a bitch!" under it. He said that not very many people would get it these days and i was all "Nonsense, everyone loves Predator!".
Now i realize after reading this thread that i'm going to be inundated with fifteen year olds that don't know about good movies going "Dude, isn't that shirt from Over the Top?". Jesus.
Also, for the record. Top 5 Hollywood badasses. Ever.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Clint Eastwood
Charles Bronson
Sylvester Stallone
Bruce Willis
This is the B-Team:
Danny Trejo
Jason Statham
Kurt Russell
Carl Weathers
Samuel L. Jackson
That is all. Jean Reno? Far as i can tell, he made a movie where he taught a little girl to shoot a rifle. Most of it wasn't even very good. It was basically two hours of why you shouldn't take on a little girl sidekick, if you're an assassin. Apologies if he's made a better movie than The Professional, but i haven't seen it. Anyway, he's french. Sorry, but automatic DQ.

That is all. Jean Reno? Far as i can tell, he made a movie where he taught a little girl to be awesome. Most of it was awesome. It was basically two hours of why you should take a girl as a side kick because she can show you how to really live, if you're an assassin. Apologies if he's made a better movie than The Professional, but i haven't seen it. Anyway, he's french. Sorry, probably more awesome than me.
"Stick Around"
"So you cooked up a story and dropped us into a meat grinder"
"Looks like you've been pushing too many pencils"
All neccesary
Bunch of slack-jawed faggots around here. This stuff will make you a god damned sexual Tyrannosaurus, just like me.
I ain't got time to bleed.
Billy: I'm scared Poncho.
Poncho: Bullshit. You ain't afraid of no man.
Billy: There's something out there waiting for us, and it ain't no man. We're all gonna die.
The thing is, every one of those characters in his squad is a fucking badass. Even the tech dude with glasses has that badass grenade launcher. Then you have your native american indian fucking psycho tracker who cuts himself with a machete...
Come to think of it, they're all essentially GI Joes.

I don't care though, they are so rad.
I know I should feel that Arnold or even Jesse is the most Badass in the film but I always have to go with Billy.

Saw someone firing a real one once and it was like 4 seconds of burst fire then change mags.
I was like, what... these things last for minutes dont they?
I was either 19 or 20 when I saw that movie in the cinema.
Back when they still called it the cinema?
Hey cinema is still a hip word used by the youth of today! In Australia...I think.
man I really am getting old

Leon was such a great movie
"What do you mean Everyone?"
"Oh what a day, what a LOVELY DAY!"
blaine had a mustache to die for
Yes yes yes yes yes yes
Seriously, it's such a realistic movie in the sense that he's a guy with some guns, but once they escalate, it is hell.
I know I should feel that Arnold or even Jesse is the most Badass in the film but I always have to go with Billy.
Everything he does in the film is super-badass.
