A Vietnam war veteran in real life, 72-year-old Richard Chaves was the last of Dutch's men to be taken down by the alien. Poncho talked less and did as asked by his Major. Chaves's grenade launcher from the movie is epic alongside Blain's minigun. | Facebook/PredatorFOX

Bill Duke is now 80. Talking about the movie, he once told Hollywood Reporter: “We’re talking about 90-something or more. We’re talking about having to wear this gear that is heavy itself, and then the guns and stuff, and mine was like a gun off a battleship machine gun. So you’re carrying your bodyweight, you have clothing on, and then you’re crawling through the jungle on your stomach and there are coral snakes and spiders and scorpions and a lot of different things.” | Facebook/PredatorFOX
Sonny Landham passed away in 2017, aged 76. Billy was the badass of Dutch's crew -- the first to identify the presence of a non-human beast in the future. The scout admitted he was scared and later decided to take the beast head-on to give his team a shot at escape. | Facebook/PredatorFOX
Director Shane Black (62) played the radio operator of the crew who was the first victim of the alien's onslaught. Black's connection with the 'Predator' franchise didn't end with the movie as he went on to direct 'The Predator' in 2018.'Edge', 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang' and 'Iron Man 3' are some of his other notable films. | Twitter
And what about the beast?
Remember the pilot of the helicopter with Anna onboard that comes back to get Dutch? The guy in pilot gear was Kevin Peter Hall, who dressed up as the violent alien! | Twitter
