He had a couple of his signature one-liners, but that final showdown in the jungle at night HAS to be one of the most thrilling last acts in all of cinema.

Very nicely put.
In my opinion, the creature-reveal was perfectly executed, and one of the best that I've ever experienced. The first time I saw Predator, I couldn't wait to get a glimpse of this one bad moffo knocking off these elite commandoes. That tension and anxiety built throughout the movie as each soldier was killed, culminating with the explosive, one-on-one showdown. Excellently done!
