Predator: Killer of Killers continues Michael Biehn’s custom of portraying hardened troopers with a coronary heart of gold in sci-fi franchises. Kyle Reese spends nearly all of The Terminator combating to guard Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) from the menace of the T-800, but has genuinely tender moments along with her, together with the scene the place they make love. Aliens has Col. Dwayne Hicks rising near Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) and even working along with her to destroy LV-426, stopping the Xenomorphs from infecting different victims.
