In this episode of The Alien vs Predator Rewatch, Cory and Eoghan have a lot of time to be animated as they discuss Predator: Killer of Killers.

Our Favourite Trivia:

The film was animated using Unreal Engine, one of the first feature films to do so, and drew stylistic influences from Katsuhiro Otomo’s Akira (1988) and Netflix's Arcane (2021–2024), aiming to embrace both stylized violence and visual spectacle. Several artists from Arcane contributed to the production, including lead character animator Steven J. Meyer.

Trachtenberg also cited Christopher Guest's Best in Show (2000) as a structural inspiration, aiming for emotional ambiguity by encouraging empathy with all three protagonists.

The opening epigraph marks the first time the species name 'Yautja' has been used in an official Predator film. The term 'Yautja' was first introduced in the expanded universe of Predator comics, with the species previously credited as 'Predators' in the films.

What's Up Next?

The Yautja take centre stage in Predator: Badlands
