I took more abuse in Predator (1987) than I did in Conan the Barbarian (1982). I fell down that waterfall (40 feet) and swam in this ice-cold water for days and for weeks was covered in mud. It was freezing in the Mexican jungle. They had these heat lamps on all the time, but they were no good. If you stayed in front of the lamps, the mud dried. Then, you had to take it off and put new mud on again. It was a no-win situation. The location was tough. Never on flat ground. Always on a hill. We stood all day long on a hill, one leg down, one leg up. It was terrible.

The problem was, Lucas was going through a whole series of relationships with women because I had a feeling that women readers like to read about romantic involvements ... along with the thriller aspects of the books. (But) if you introduce a new female character in a series that`s lasted as long as this one, (Lucas) begins to sound more like a sexual predator than a guy who`s really genuinely involved with the people he`s dealing with.

The impact that these creatures had on audiences was immense. But 26 years on, and dozens of comic books later, everyone knows what the Alien looks like. You`ve got to do something different with it, and make a slightly different movie. So in a way we were definitely making an Alien and a Predator movie, but a different one from the one the other directors had made.
