How Did They Film Predator Up There?
On a family trip to Puerto Vallarta, Martin Engster visited the jungle where The Predator was filmed — and couldn't stop thinking like a machine guy about the logistics of getting the gear up there in the 1980s.
My family and I went to Puerto Vallarta. We got to see the place where they filmed The Predator with Arnold Schwarzenegger. I'm an '80s kid — I grew up on that movie.
The ride up was more than half an hour on a rough dirt road in the back of a truck.
The whole time I was thinking like a machine guy: how did they get all that camera gear up there in the '80s? Back then it was mostly jungle and rocks. The logistics alone are mind-blowing.
