		Nope, they only took out the moquito noise, but clearly the UH version as more detail. The grain gives the illusion the old version is better but it's not. Your example clearly shows it. Look at the wrinkle under his eye.
One grain plate over the UH version and you're good.

		Thanks for the link!
Watched Predator tonight as a result of this thread, and it's still as awesome a movie as when I first saw it. The action borders on ridiculous sometimes, and that's not a bad thing!
As others have said, the MPEG-2 BD release was fine in motion if a bit soft. No doubt Predator would benefit from a thorough restoration, but it doesn't seem to be in the cards.

		...Predator is still available in 35mm; if someone would like to contribute to buy, ship, and transfer it, an interesting restoration is possible...

		I keep saying Predator needs a rescue badly, so a BIG yes to the 35mm.

		30 anniversary is very near, let's hope for proper 4K BD.

		I may or may not have drooled while looking at those 35mm frames...
