Later, when Harrigan meets King Willie in the alley, the cloaked Predator jumps down. The red suit didn’t have any dreadlocks as it would have been difficult to matte properly so the red suit was just kept simple. Firstly a plate of the background itself with nobody there, another shot with a wider lens and finally, a shot of a man in a red suit. Harrigan thinks he sees something but the Predator disappears.īehind-The-Scenes: In order to accomplish that effect, they shot a number of plates. We can first see the distortion effect when Harrigan is on the rooftop. In Predator 2, City Hunter uses his cloak throughout the film. They made a red suit for a monkey but the problem was the monkey just hid in the trees and didn’t do anything. What they really wanted is a guy to swing around in the trees and they built an enormous bungee rig which they got a few shots out of. The camouflage effect is made up of concentric inlines of the background, the Predator itself and what’s inside the Predator. The Predator is unable to use his cloak at all.īehind-The-Scenes: The cloaking effect was accomplished by having a man in the jungle in a red suit. Later, when Dutch sets an explosive trap for him, he ignites the explosion which damages his wrist computer. When it emerges from the water, blue sparks appear around its cloak and eventually renders him completely visible, at least for a short time. The Predator is in pursuit and falls into the water. When Dutch escapes the Predator and falls over a waterfall.
#PREDATOR CAMO MAC#
When Mac encounters the Predator, the cloaked Predator eye’s flash yellow before he disappears into the jungle. A trademark of the Predator is the eye-flash.
Particularly, in the hot jungle, when some of the commandos saw the Predator cloaked, it looked distorted, like a heatwave. Jungle Hunter uses the cloak throughout the first two thirds of Predator. In Alien vs Predator, we saw a spear being thrown at somebody which was cloaked and then it became uncloaked after a few seconds of hitting something. Some scenes show the weapons as cloaked but other times, their wristblades or shoulder cannon might not be cloaked. The cloak also appears to extend to some of their weapons if they’re attached to their body but this seems to vary from scene to scene. Other things such as bullets and anything impaling the Predator can also disrupt the cloak. This then, disables the cloak for a short time. One thing that is seen to disrupt it is water and a few times throughout the films, we can see water causing blue sparks to appear when it touches it. It can be activated from the Predator’s wrist computer. In the right lighting, you can still make out its silhouette, more so if the creature is in motion. It’s not complete invisibility as it bends light. Each Predator in every Predator and Alien vs Predator film possesses a cloaking device which makes them almost invisible to humans.
