John McTiernan's PREDATOR (1987) Sci-Fi and 50 similar items

Vintage original 27x41 in. US single-sided one-sheet poster from the classic action/adventure sci-fi thriller, PREDATOR, released in 1987 by 20th Century-Fox and directed by John McTiernan. A team of commandos on a mission in a Central American jungle find themselves hunted by an extraterrestrial warrior. The cast includes Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers, Kevin Peter Hall, Elpidia Carrillo, Bill Duke, and Jesse Ventura. This is from the original film from the popular franchise and features a thermal-style image of a buff Schwarzenegger at-the-ready as seen from the Predator's viewpoint. Rolled and restored as originally issued, it is in fine+ condition with light signs of wear on the bottom corners and some random small creases in the borders with a few in the image area (simply from handling over time). There are no pinholes, tears, stains, writing, or other flaws. The invisibility cloaking effect was achieved with a bright red suit (because it was the farthest opposite of the green of the jungle and the blue of the sky) the size of the Predator. The red was removed with chroma key techniques, leaving an empty area. The take was then repeated without the actors using a 30% wider lens on the camera. When the two takes were combined optically, the jungle from the second take filled in the empty area. Because the second take was filmed with a wider lens, a vague outline of the alien could be seen with the background scenery bending around its shape.
