Fans of the Predator franchise certainly discovered a lot of little winks and nods to the earlier movies in Hulu’s new prequel, Prey. A line of dialogue right here. A chunk of set dressing there.

I’m referring, after all, to Raphael Adolini’s gun, which Naru takes possession of and makes use of in opposition to the Predator within the movie. Fans ought to acknowledge it as the identical gun {that a} Predator offers Danny Glover’s character, Detective Mike Harrigan, on the finish of Predator 2. And we do imply that actually: it’s the very same gun that was utilized in that earlier movie.

“The gun that shows up in the movie, the Predator 2 weapon, is not from the archives [or] not from the vaults,” Prey director Dan Trachtenberg instructed io9. “Our prop master sought it out. We did not have it. The only way he could find it was he was watching a YouTube fan replica maker, and he saw it on his shelf behind him and he reached out to him and we got that gun. So that was provided by a fan of the franchise.”

Yes, a Predator fan owned the screen-used prop from Predator 2 and the Prey crew borrowed it from him for manufacturing. How cool is that? A prop all the time designed to hyperlink into Predator’s historical past has lastly completed it.

What’s barely much less cool, although, are the implications of what it means for Naru. The gun remains to be within the tribe on the finish of Prey and the credit definitely recommend the Predators come again. Is Naru’s tribe who the Predator 2 predator obtained the gun from? Does that spell doom for our hero and her folks? And both means, what does any of this imply for the previously accepted canon from the comics of the predator getting the gun from Adolini himself?

Maybe we’ll discover out these solutions sooner or later, perhaps not, however both means, that’s a degree of element and care few franchise movies go the additional mile for.

Prey is now streaming on Hulu.
