does anyone else kind-of cringe when a kid is going to be in an action flick, especially if it's R?

you know they're going to do something brave for a kid towards the end.


This is from the upcoming R rated predator



The only exception I can think of now is Newt in Aliens but all she did was hide, scream and get caught which sounds about right for a kid. no stupid strong kid sequence.

If that's the cast for a predator movie, the kid is only a small part of the problem.

the other two examples I immediately thought of were Terminator 2: Judgment Day and The Professional, but there are probably way more examples of kids ruining action films

No kidding, the white guy looks like a dork.
Zero star power it appears. Guess they're going the alien requiem route?

It's written and directed by Shane Black.

Rest assured, this movie will kick serious ass.

T2 was Edward Furlongs first movie too...

What about Short Round in Temple of Doom?

The girl fighting in the Logan trailers gave me lots of pause, but the Rotten Tomatoes score so far has been relived.

There's also a flashback in season 2 of Daredevil where a small girl is kicking ass and it doesn't look ridiculous at all, thankfully.

That said........... what is this kid doing in Predator....

Did someone seriously "thumbs down" cloak and dagger? Let me guess, bitter/jealous Mavs fan who just hates San Antonio??

It's a no go because of a picture of the cast?

Kids... seemingly terrible in R rated action movies, but creepy as **** in R rated horror flicks.

It's really hard to take Hingle McCringleberry serious in this picture

And just FYI, Black said this is the "partial" cast for the movie. That said, I don't think any other big stars are in it. Regardless, as stated earlier... it's Shane Black. The entire cast could be kids, and it'd still be one of my most anticipated movies of next year. But for those worried, I thought the kids in both Iron Man 3 and The Nice Guys were really great. Black has a way of making them not only genuinely funny, but sometimes even more mature than the adults in his movies. I'm all in on this one (though do admit that it's a somewhat strange cast for this type of film).

I wouldn't worry too much...if the kid wears that bright yellow jacket in the jungle, he'll be toast quickly. the predator won't even need his thermal vision

The daughter in the Last Boy Scout was fun, but other than that children are a distraction (or some leverage for the antagonist to use during the final confrontation).

Would be awesome if he narrated this film in past tense Narcos-style. "Now at this point you're prooooobably thiiinkin' there's no way this little 6 year old just out-witted a highly advanced blood thirsty man huuunter, right? Guess again."

Best kid acting in any action movie, maybe any movie, is the kid in Looper, which also happens to be one of my favorite movies.

Shane Black's previous films with kids have been great.

Gosling's daughter in The Nice Guys and the kid who helps Stark in Iron Man 3.

Also, this is an early film from Shane Black with an entire cast of kids:



And if the whole cast doesn't thrill you, keep this in mind: the last film (Predators...which I love), had Adrian freakin' Brody as the lead hero and Topher Grace in it.

I had no idea he wrote this! I think Shane Black and I just became best friends!

What the eff are you smelling? Last Action Hero spoofs action movies and makes the point of a kid in an action movie.

Cloak and Dagger is awesome. Or was.
