Poll question: Which actor from "Predator" will be elected Governor next?
Edited on Sat Oct-11-03 04:58 PM by smallprint
Now that Arnold is Governor of California, and Jesse Ventura was Gov of Minnesota, it looks like there is a trend: starring characters in the 80s hit action flick "Predator" are taking over gubernatorial politics!! Who will be next?

(R) CA

(I) MN

???



(thanks to fuckedcompany.com for idea)

1. There's A Problem With Kevin Peter Hall

I believe that he's dead.

Yes, he died of the AIDs Virus in 1991. Here's his IMDB bio:

2. I'm sorry to hear that.

I took him off the list.

(Although, if he ran against Ashcroft he would probably win anyway.)

4. Heh he....I'll go with Sonny Landham....
The guy was a minister down in Oklahoma I believe....

I love the first Predator movie. And all of you do know that Jean Claude VanDamm played the part of the Predator for a short while??

8. Both Schwarzenegger and Ventura
were also in The Running Man. That movie gives us all kinds of people to choose from:

Arnold Schwarzenegger
Maria Conchita Alonso
Jim Brown
Jesse Ventura
Professor Toru Tanaka
Mick Fleetwood
Dweezil Zappa
Richard Dawson

9. Jim Brown!
Yeah baby. Now he would be a president. He could just stare down foriegn heads of state, and if they run, even though he is old, he can catch them.

And he could nominate James Brown as Secretary of State, so they both blame each other saying they were misquoted, no, you mean the other Mr. Brown.... what you say? We all look alike? Jim screams, get your honky presswhore ass up here before I come down there and snatch the rug off your head!
Meanwhile, when we are at peace, I Feel Good would play 24/7 on loudspeakers on Foggy Bottom.

10. Sonny Landham
I heard something a couple years ago about him wanting to run for governor of Kentucky or something. George Clooney could run against him. Isn't he from Kentucky too? Although George wasn't a porn star, and doesn't go around groping women, so he might not be able to win.

13. I saw this thread early last night
Then I just about peed my pants laughing when I saw Carl Weathers on SNL. It was hilarious.
