One of this movies main posters was designed in painted artwork featuring Sean Connery standing in a James Bond-like pose with a television camera instead of a gun and with two girls in bikinis at his feet.

All these elements were typical of the James Bond movie franchise which Connery had been a big part of. This was not the original poster for this movie. The Bond-type poster was used in various non-USA markets, replacing the original poster after the film was a commercial failure in North America. This was the second Sean Connery non-Bond film to have a Bond-like poster in just a few years, as the main movie poster for Cuba was also designed like a Bond movie poster.

c.		The last name of the character "Danny" (Rubén Blades) is "Archuleta". J. Tom Archuleta was the second assistant director of both this movie and Predator.
d.		The movies title "A New Beginning" was chosen because it was intended for Tommy Jarvis to become the killer in the next movie. According to interviews with Danny Steinmann, Steinmann was instructed to do two things on Friday the 13th: part V. He was to deliver a shock, scare, or kill every seven or eight minutes. Most importantly, he was to turn Tommy into Jason. Apparently the ending with Tommy about to kill Pam was not meant to be interpreted as a dream but was suppose to be Tommy gone crazy about his encounter with the fake Jason. However this plot twist was abandoned when fans wanted Jason back so he was resurrected in the sequel. Had the movie gone down well with fans, then the producers would have brought back John Shepherd and Melanie Kinnaman for a direct sequel.

7.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Predator 2 (1990)?

It included 75 stores and buildings, main street, factory district and a large residential and slum area. The Main Street was 300 yards long, three whole city blocks!

c.		This film is believed lost. Please check your attic.

9.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Predator 2 (1990)?
a.		This movie was inspired by the real 1971 helicopter rescue and breakout of Joel David Kaplan from a Mexican prison which was orchestrated by lawyer Vasilios Basil Choulos. Film Critic Roger Ebert has said of this: "Kaplan was the scion of an American sugar-and-molasses empire with Latin American connections, and in the early 1960s, he was a courier for Fidel Castro. The Mexicans imprisoned him in 1962 on a highly questionable murder charge, and there were rumors that the CIA was somehow involved. He was in prison nine years before his sister hired a California helicopter pilot to carry out a neat little mission spiriting Kaplan out of the prison yard. Ramparts published material about the CIA connection, but Kaplan wouldnt talk, then or later. The movies naturally more concerned with the rescue mission than with any shadowy political implications. But there are a couple of leftovers from the original story in the sinister persons of a CIA operative and the heros rich grandfather. They seem to be in cahoots, although how or why is a little unclear."
b.		Another cut scene involved a sex scene between Pvt. Joker and the Vietnamese prostitute. According to the actress, Stanley Kubrick cut the scene because it detracted from the cold mood of the film.
c.		The Jamaican voodoo posse gangs seen in the film were based on actual gangs that were terrorizing New York City and Kansas City at one point in the mid- to late-1980s.
d.		This picture, which began its run nationally on July 8, 1948, was the second-biggest moneymaking film of the year, directly after the Crosby-Hope-Lamour Road to Rio, which was launched nationally on Christmas Day of 1947. The critical and financial success of the Garland-Astaire pairing chiefly "made up" for the mixed reviews and poor box office (except in a few large cities) of Judy Garlands prior musical, The Pirate, which had opened nationally on June 11, only a month before her frolic with Mr. Astaire was seen by moviegoers.

10.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Predator 2 (1990)?
a.		The plot underwent a few changes in its earliest stages. Gary Buseys character, Keyes, was actually intended to be Dutch, Arnold Schwarzeneggers character from the first film. Schwarzenegger was very outspoken against the sequels concept, feeling that taking it into the city was a bad idea, and declined the role.
b.		The movie was shot during the Christmas of 2008. Everything in the film happened or was re-shot during the actual Christmas season. The lot was an actual lot that was selling trees simultaneously to the shooting of the film. Some of the scenes were improved on the spot. Most notably, no one was killed during the production of the film.
c.		The Tamerlane corporate gift bag contains an autobiography by "Oh, you know who," entitled, "How I Conquered the World and Dealt with Issues with my Father."
