it’s the ultimate showdown of
extraterrestrial killers
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
pitting two of the most popular sci-fi
movie franchises against each other
Alien and Predator
for this list we’re evaluating the movie
franchises based on specific categories
to see how they measure up against each
other both franchises have great
original entries with good and bad
sequels so we’re trying our best to
focus on the positive aspects of each so
grab your pulse rifle and roll around in
the mud because no matter which side
wins we lose route 1 bureaus will Snow
White she’s supposed to be some kind of
consultant apparently she saw an alien
once who will be fuckin do the Alien
franchise introduced us to one of those
strongest female characters in cinema
history
among a myriad of working-class space
travelers Sigourney Weaver’s Ellen
Ripley stood out for her no bullshit
attitude and will to survive there’s an
explanation for this you know
in the sequel aliens Ripley’s character
was developed further as her instincts
as a mother and Savior came to define
her time plenty
26 minutes we’re not leaving we’re not
coincidentally enough Bill Paxton has a
role in both franchise sequels his role
as private Hudson in aliens alongside
80s action movie legend Michael Biehn is
much more memorable than his throwaway
character in predator – what is it Hicks
Hudson sir he’s Hicks over all the
colonial Marines are much more well
developed and interesting than any of
the secondary heroes in the predator
franchise bunch of slack-jawed faggots
around here on predators side Arnold
Schwarzenegger puts up a hell of a fight
as a tough-as-nails special forces
commander stick around
Alan Dutch Schaffer you son of a bitch
his dedication to his comrades is
matched only by his lethality and
ability to outsmart the cunning predator
unfortunately Arne didn’t return for the
sequels and predator 2 instead gave us a
rather forgettable Danny Glover okay so
move and predators left us with a very
miscast Adrien Brody really Adrien Brody
we’re here only question is how do we
get out while her role when further
sequels may not have been as strong
Allen Ripley’s unparalleled spirit and
strength make her one of the best if not
the best female action hero of all time
sorry Dutch Ripley and the colonial
Marines take this round for the Alien
franchise round two classic wives
alright I’m a cop I don’t think he gives
a shit proving herself on par with the
greatest of action heroes Ellen Ripley
has some great one-liners get away from
her you bitch other characters have
equally memorable and haunting lines
like game over man game over we gonna do
now what are we gonna do or be captured
colonists begging for death with a
simple kill me perhaps not as motivating
or quotable as other movies these are
still wines that we’ll never forget
I can’t lie to you about your choices
but you ever said with this it is
however hard to compete with the king of
one-liners Arnold Schwarzenegger who can
seemingly turn any line into a memorable
classic there’s a job even without Arnie
other characters in the predator series
from the Macho Man Blaine played by
Jesse Ventura to the predator himself
have some truly chilling and
unforgettable lines
while supporting characters in alien and
aliens have some great dialogues such as
and in the pipe five by five out of
context the lines from the Alien
franchise just don’t quite stack up your
dog me yeah
this round is an easy trophy for the
predator round three suspense and horror
in predator you figure there isn’t much
that Arnie and his US Special Forces
team can’t handle as they’re seeing
bowling through waves of armed soldiers
with ease however when the predator
shows up and starts tearing them to
pieces things get pretty frightening
unseen and unheard the predator not only
kills our heroes but keeps their skulls
as trophies making the violence as
sinister as it is polishes in its intent
the original alien brought fear to a
whole new level with claustrophobic
nowhere to run space setting more than
just a superficial change to the horror
genre the spaceship location creates a
dark and sinister atmosphere aboard the
Nostromo where the characters truly have
nowhere to run however the tonal shift
from straight-up or two horror action in
the later alien films does alleviate the
stress and tension somewhat
a goddamn trap goddamn and individual
xenomorphs do lose a little bit of their
bite as we see them die in greater
numbers that being said they’re just no
topping the flawless horror of the first
alien film and while the latter films
don’t quite recapture the fear in
claustrophobia of being trapped on a
spaceship with an asset blighted
xenomorph alien remains the most
suspenseful and horrific of the whole
bunch round form action and kills
alien saw characters struggling to forge
makeshift flamethrowers and other basic
weapons to fight the xenomorph the
results were a lot of one-sided battles
as the alien effortlessly picked off
characters one by one
aliens the action really picks up as
this time a group of badass Marines
accompany Ripley and bring actual
firepower to the table what’s this
that’s a grenade launcher I don’t think
you want to mess with PAD you started
this show me everything
Alien Resurrection also took on more of
an action stop as the characters have
little to no fear of the Xenomorphs and
aren’t afraid to duke it out predator is
appropriately all about the hunt the
action in this killer be killed Ralph
begins with Arnie’s team raiding a South
American warlords guerrilla camp
in a hipfiring bad guy exploding action
scene worthy of the best 80s action
films and it only gets better from there
hunting traps and mass deforestation be
a minigun all lead to the final
climactic showdown between Dutch in the
predator the sequels continued the
action ramping the kill count way up
further and further while the Alien
films brought plenty of excitement to
the table we’re giving the edge to the
predator as it fights its way to the top
round 5 creatures here it is the main
event referred to in the expanded
universe as the II watch out the
Predators come from an intelligent race
that hunts other intelligent races for
sport and honor claiming its foes spines
and skulls as trophies
the hunters are equipped with a powerful
Arsenal from arm-mounted blades to a
high-powered laser gun and in the event
of humiliating defeat and over-the-top
self destruct system their hunt is also
improved by their suits ability to cloak
their masks which give them thermal
vision and more they are tough albeit
rather ugly designed by the one and only
HR Giger Zeno marks at the Alien
franchise are horrific monsters brought
to life on the silver screen
while the official origin of the species
hasn’t been fully explored yet what we
do know about the aliens is enough to
give even the bravest men and women
nightmares
every weapon the alien has at its
disposal it is born with including a
powerful but nimble body razor sharp
claws acid blood and an extending
separate mouth inside of its original
mouth not only that but every alien is
born by ripping itself out of its hosts
body every single one think about that
for a second
both are creatures born to hunt and kill
the predator uses technology cunning and
experience where the alien hunts with
animal instinct and terrifying ferocity
both are iconic on and off the big
screen but we’re giving this the final
round to the Alien franchise battle was
long and well fun but in the end the
Xenomorphs stand victorious as the
ultimate killing machines any ultimate
movie franchise
we’ve picked a clear winner but feel
