The Predator: 14 Easter Eggs & References Explained

2. Traeger's Death Is Foreshadowed

When Traeger is examining the remains of the fugitive Predator, he takes hold of one of its shoulder cannons, at which point one of his goons tells him, "I'd be careful with that, sir."

At first it seems like a harmless, innocuous line of incidental dialogue, but it actually turns out to be foreshadowing the fact that Traeger is eventually killed for his careless use of a Predator shoulder cannon.

In the film's final battle against the Ultimate Predator, Traeger wears the cannon on himself, and it eventually misfires directly in his face, blowing his head off. Apparently, anyway: it happens so fast and the image is so damn dark it's hard to figure out exactly what happened.
