!! This film contains the following tropes:
----
* BMovie: The production values are low and the script is unoriginal, but it's competently handled.
* CaliforniaDoubling: The film is set in Africa, but filmed in Australia.
* DwindlingParty: They start with six soldiers. They're picked off with predictable regularity.
* EnemyDetectingRadar: Part of the team has a device which is being used to track the surviving member of the team... except that it then suddenly tracks the aliens too.
* {{Expy}}: This film is essentially ''Film/AliensVersusPredator'' several years early.
* InASingleBound: The preferred method of travel for the "Predator" alien.
* TheReptilians: The "Predator" alien is distinctly reptilian.
* SnowyScreenOfDeath: Seen with the initial squad. Not only were their video transmissions very low definition due to transmission issues, but the screen displaying their EKG reading accommodatingly goes to static when the transmission is cut off.
* TranslatorMicrobes: One of the squads carries a translation device which is "loaded with the Global Alphabet" and translates the spoken dialect of 74 languages into English.
