Those particular two, yes. But then several others — most others — look anywhere between fine and great. Like this one, for instance. This is not a 2/5 screenshot:

Not sure why this is missing, but it’s gone in the new version.

Wow, are all those lines are missing, or just “You got time to duck?”

And that Carl Weathers close-up looks even creepier than the waxy Arnold. Like he's a CG angel. Creepy!

Hotl shit. The screenshots look like this is the 'wet frosted glass edition".

If true, then it's a sad, sad release for sure. You may want to double check to see if you are right.

Wow, that's kind of a big deal. Methinks a recall is in order.

Recall with a remaster.

No, it isn't. That screenshot is the best Predator has ever looked by far, and there's absolutely zero trace of digital manipulation in that shot. I'm not saying there isn't digital manipulation, I'm saying it's undetectable. Which is the only way digital manipulation should be used.

Reviewers were probably too busy cursing the horrible picture quality to hear the missing line.

The scene I described earlier IS NOT MISSING from the new release! IT IS THERE. I said it was missing to make a specific point.

Exactly as I expected, some of the people who were alright with removing the grain and texture from the film were suddenly calling for a recall because a few lines of dialog were missing. Altering the film is altering the film, whether it's removing the grain, eliminating a line of dialog or a music cue, cutting a scene altogether or cropping the edges to pan and scan. You're still removing stuff that is part of the movie. Now to all the people that think it's great that they've removed the grain, if what I originally said WAS true, how would you respond to someone who came in here and posted, "I don't care about the missing Blaine scene. It just distracted from the action and you're all snobs
and elitists who don't understand Predator's just a movie. I like it with the scene missing." Well guess what? You're that person.

ugh

You sir, have no idea what you are talking about.

It looks like ass. Shiny ass.
