10 Bizarre Horror Movie Choices (& Why They Happened)
3. The Predator's Secret Proposal - Predator 2
Now in fairness, you'd need to be extremely eagle-eyed to catch this one at all, because it flashes on-screen for mere fractions of a second.
In Predator 2's brilliantly brutal slaughterhouse sequence where Peter Keyes (Gary Busey) and his men get killed, the Predator's gauntlet briefly malfunctions, at which point a strange message is fleetingly visible on it.
Look closely and you'll be able to read, "Marry me," followed by the word "Poynter."
Why would the Predator be proposing to anyone? Well, it turns out this was actually an Easter egg included in the film by one of its animation artists, Donald Poynter, who used it to propose to his then-girlfriend.
As for whether Donald's weirdly sweet gesture paid off? A fan managed to make contact with Poynter in 2019 and ask him, where he confirmed that the proposal was indeed successful, the two did get married, and they celebrated their 28th wedding anniversary that year.
Isn't that just the most oddly wholesome thing to spawn from a movie about an extraterrestrial serial killer terrorising Earth?
