So it's good to know he was a complete tool from the get go. Not a surprise...

How so? Clearly realised he'd been completely mis-signed/cast and made the best decision he could!

The way he describes Van Damme complaining makes it seem as if he was a tool. He could've gone about it in a much more professional way...

The massive difference between design/actors for the predator is amazing. Kevin Peter Hall and Stan Winston/James Cameron's final product couldn't be more of a 180 from the Van Damme/Dinosaur-thing.

Oof! That original design looked ... well ... pretty shit. :lol:

Seems there was a lot of non-communication going on during that production before they got the Predator design (and performer) sorted out.

I'm not surprised that JCVD was pissed off though ... not the most auspicious of starts to a major Hollywood career.
