>I wonder how they came up with the idea of the Predator. Clearly it is the main
antagonist, but it just feels out of the place, you know the viewer would expect a warlord or high ranking KGB officer behind endless waves of cannon fodder they chew themselves through but then hey an absolutely unlikely sci-fi element.

Main idea was about hunting and battle with much more powerful invisible adversary, some kind of ideal hunter. But who can be powerful enough? Only magic or sci-fi person, but first one may look too cheap for that action movie. So, they invented that alien. There is almost no real sci-fi, nor plot about it (just few words).

It is wrong that they decided to add backstory for predator in later movies, although keeping thing in the dark would look strange for viewers.
