Posted by: greercn January 25, The Last Stand. It was Silver's hope that having Black on set, he could more easily convince him to rewrite the film. Black insists he didn't change the script at all but he went on to make his own Predator film in Predator is known for having one of the most muscle-bound casts in movie history.
With that many tough guys on set, it's not surprising that there was a fair amount of competition going on. One particularly funny rivalry was between Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jesse Ventura. When in the wardrobe department, Ventura noticed the measurements for his biceps were larger than Schwarzenegger's.
Feeling confident, Ventura told Schwarzenegger they should measure each other's bicep and the loser buys a bottle of champagne for the winner. Unfortunately, the whole thing was a prank Schwarzenegger set up with the wardrobe department and Ventura lost the bet. With all the tough guys already in the movies, it's funny to think that Jean-Claude Van Damme was briefly involved in the film as well.
However, the martial arts superstar was not cast as a member of the special forces team, but rather as the Predator itself. The original plan was for Van Damme to play the monster in a special-effects suit. However, this provided a number of problems like Van Damme's short height compared to the other cast and his annoyance at not actually appearing onscreen. In the end, he only lasted a few days on set before quitting. Like Jaws that came before it, Predator is one of those great movies that was very close to being a disaster.
And like Jaws , it was the creature at the center of the movie that provided most of the issues. While the original idea was for Stan Winston to design the monster, the studio opted to save some money by going with a less expensive company.
