8 Shocking Plot Twists Cut From Movies

Predators was a fun entry in the franchise, but it’s let down by basically remaking the original and lacking any standout action. Still, it had some cool ideas and a great cast, including a fun cameo by Laurence Fishburne as a crazed survivor.

Originally this character was meant to be Mike Harrigan, the hero played by Danny Glover in the second film. This obviously would have tied the movies closer together, and it makes sense a veteran like Harrigan could survive against the hunters for so long. Ultimately Glover felt he really was too old for that s***, so he declined and the part was rewritten for Fishburne.

Another big cameo was planned for the climax, which featured a ship landing in front of the bloodied survivors. Rows of Predators would have come out and lined up for their leader, who strides down a ramp and stops in front of them. The helmet comes off to reveal Dutch (Arnold Schwarzenegger) who congratulates them on their victory.

Arnie’s Governor schedule sadly prevented that little cameo from happening.
