Predator 3-Movie Collection (Fox)

This franchise about well-equipped interstellar hunters and their plucky human prey has spawned three core films, ignoring Aliens crossovers and the recent reboot. Schwarzenegger went toe-to-toe with the ugly mo-fo in John Mctiernan’s sweaty, testosterone-charged Predator, which is still the cream of the crop. Danny Glover is no Arnold, although the transition from actual jungle to the near-future urban jungle of Los Angeles for Predator 2 brought some clever visuals and expanded the creature’s mythos. Oscar-winner Adrien Brody is no Arnold, either, but he is supported by a mélange of badass earthlings mysteriously conveyed to the Predators’ distant planet, where it’s kill or be killed. The first two films were shot on 35mm film and the problematic grain issues of the original have been addressed here. Even the HD video-originated threequel gets a pleasing visual upgrade in its new 4K rendition. Each 4K disc has at least one commentary track, and the bundled HD Blu-rays maintain previously released extras.
