10 More Mismatched Movie Enemies

4. Royce and Edwin vs. Predator (Predators)

predators-cast

Another case of man vs. beast where the beast so easily out-wits man in every capacity: strength, speed, intelligence, etc. The Predator movies are all about soldiers trying to outsmart the ever-learning Predators who can already withstand gunshot wounds, crush cement with their hands, detect heat, withstand extreme temperatures, make an apple pie, and still have time to catch up on Dowton Abbey. You know who probably could have taken on a Predator and kicked his ass or at least looked cool while doing it? Danny Trejo. You know who dies first and not even on-screen? Danny Trejo. So who€™s left? A bunch of skinny white guys rounded out by the token chick, Asian, and African American. The last three standing are Isabelle, Edwin, and Royce, played by uber-Adrien Brody. In a very last minute characterization, Edwin reveals that he€™s a serial killer which could have been interesting if the movie didn€™t immediately kill him five minutes after this revelation €“I for one was curious as to what he planned on doing once the other two humans were dead since the movie made no argument for him being able to survive on his own-. The showdown between the Predator and Royce, only rehashes fonder memories of a more worthy opponent, Arnold Schwarzenegger, being covered in mud.
