Even for a SciFi movie, mass buffalo slaughter with cartridge firing weapons in 1719 is ridiculous.
I get it. I think folks need to have lower expectations for that type of storyline.
Weren't they dead at the bottom of a cliff? Or was that a different scene? I need to watch it again I guess.
No, they were shot and skinned.
I thought it was pretty bad. Sorry. Now they need another prequel, how Billy from the original Predator knew it wasn't a "man" killing them. Native Americans passing the stories down.
I watched parts of it this evening. I wasn’t impressed. There are a lot of continuity issues with the entire series, with the AVP movies thrown in. A couple of issues that came to mind. First, this movie takes place in the northern plains. Wouldn’t that area be too cold for the Predator? Second, how much sport would humans at that tech level really be for the Predator? Third, the Predator in the movie must have been their equivalent of Elmer Fudd. It was injured by everything it encountered. A redneck would have its head in the wall in no time.
I thought the tribe was supposed to be Comanche, which should put them in the southern plains/Texas.
The Comanche are a Uto-Aztecan people who originally were part of the Wyoming and maybe Great Basin Shoshone. They migrated south in the 1700s IIRC. So if this story is set in the early 1700s it’s actually pretty accurate in that respect.
I knew they were shot and skinned . . . there were a LOT of French men running around though.
There were snow-capped mountains in the background. I lived in west Texas for quite a while, the mountains must have been well hidden.
