Not only does it not resemble liaoningensis at all, but the entire Archaefructus genus has been extinct for millions of years. Edwin identifies a plant as Archaefructus liaoningensis.Armor-Piercing Question: As Royce tries to convince Isabelle to leave a wounded Edwin behind, she asks if survival at any cost is worth it.Royce is a former soldier as well, and while he has his Kick the Dog moments, in the end he regains a bit of his old moral center. In a group that includes criminals, terrorists, and psychopathic killers, Isabelle and Nikolai, both of whom are soldiers in their respective countries' armed forces, are the most morally decent and mentally stable out of the lot of them. Cuchillo, Mombasa, Hanzo, and Stans are all Nominal Heroes/ Villain Protagonists who only work together for mutual survival, whereas Royce is an Unscrupulous Hero and Isabelle and Nikolai are both Pragmatic Heroes. Anti-Hero: With the exception of Edwin, most of the main group are this to varying degrees.Amazon Chaser: Isabelle's tough as nails, and the guys explicitly find her attractive for it.When he has time to think about it, he'll leave Isabelle without a second glance, but when under fire, he invariably dives back into the fray to save her. Always Save the Girl: It must be a spinal reflex for Royce.All There in the Script: Only Royce, Isabelle, Nikolai, and Noland give their names on-screen.Even the majority of the characters' names are found only in the script. The Predators' extensive biographies are pulled from other sources, and a great deal of the individuals' backstories come from the comics and special features. All There in the Manual: The movie relies on concise dialogue and action for the vast majority of its characterization.It's also shown that the Predators that are hunting the group are a separate group from the standard Predators we usually see (who are known for their focus on honor and nobility) and have far fewer morals than the others. However, they deliberately take humans that no one will miss and will put up a good fight - Special Forces types on highly-dangerous classified missions, serial rapists and murderers with plenty of knowledge about killing, soldiers who've committed war crimes, gangsters, cold-blooded mercenaries, Sociopathic Soldiers and disgraces, terrorists, et cetera. Aliens Are Bastards: Played with in the case of the Predators, who abduct humans and take them to a "hunting preserve" on a different world.Even Royce, who so far has been calm and unfazed despite all the weird stuff going on, has no idea what to do. All the planets and moons in it look like they're about to crack open and spill into space as massive clouds of broken rock and dust. Alien Abduction: All of the human characters were kidnapped offscreen by the Predators and taken to their game reserve planet to be hunted for sport.African Terrorists: One member of the assortment of killers and mercenaries trapped on the alien planet is Mombasa, an RUF member and death squad officer from Sierra Leone.Royce apparently sharpens his machete like crazy too, since he decapitates a hunting dog in one hit. Justified in most instances because they're blades made by Predators, who even make their metal nets mono-molecular.
