Jean-Claude Van Damme on the set of PREDATOR (1987), in the original Predator suit design before he was unceremoniously canned and replaced by the late Kevin Peter Hall

I honestly had no idea this happened. Imagine martial arts Predator doing leg splits while going after Arnold.
That was why he was canned. He couldn’t imagine not being the central part of the film.
I mean the name of the movie is 'PREDATOR', not 'Dutch'..
> Van Damme
Belgian, not Dutch
Schwarzenegger's character is named Dutch.
Schwarzi? I'm pretty sure he's Austrian not Dutch. (Thanks for the clarification though).
It’s like the Pennsylvania Dutch, it’s the anglicized transliteration of the German word for for German “Deutsch” it was a name used to refer to German immigrants by Americans
I'm sure that's why it was canceled.
It wasn't the splits that made his cut of the movie weird.
It was the fact they had to make the predator from French Canada to explain his accent.
