* The first few scenes of the film take great pains to establish that Dutch and his men are going into a hot zone in an unspecified, but very volatile, country. Once the guerilla camp is taken out we don't hear another word about any hostiles despite Dillon's insistence that they're still out there. There's a more than zero chance that the Jungle Hunter has been wading through their numbers for days and that's why the jungle is so...safe otherwise.

* As utterly irrelevant to the main plot as it is, Dillon did take a second to tell Dutch that they just stopped a major Soviet backed invasion into a neighboring country. Who knows how much damage those rebels could've done if they commandos didn't take the mission?

* Billy is able to tell the Predator is near when he looks right at it. One might chalk this up to him being a MagicalNativeAmerican, but he's special forces. They're taught to recognize camouflage, especially when the target is completely still. And perhaps his ancestors, being Dakota Sioux, were hunted by the Predators and passed down their own stories. After all, they came from a hot climate themselves.

* While Dillon knows the true nature of the mission, Dutch and all of his commandos expect that they are rescuing hostages. The extraction point is a ''long'' distance away from the enemy camp to be escorting potentially malnourished and/or wounded hostages through the jungle.

* Why does The Predator's cloaking technology fail [[NoWaterproofingInTheFuture every single time it gets wet]]? Because it seems to work by refracting light away from The Predator (several characters notice that the creature isn't perfectly invisible if you look hard enough, and when it moves there is a visible distortion). Water ''also'' has natural light refracting properties, thus when The Predator ends up in the drink they end up canceling each other out.
