Natural warriors with rocks and arrows who would have zero chance against a predator.
I think that's kind of the point though. The whole "warrior spirit overcomes" trope. Dutch beat the Predator with mud and primitive traps made of wood.
And the body of Arnold Schwarzenegger. That wood wasn't a bunch of fragile twigs and it didn't cut and position itself.
That's a very valid point, and it's why I'm not holding my breath on this one. If the audience score is decent I might give it a watch. Otherwise, I'll just stick to the original two movies.
Dutch didn't defeat the predator with steel.
Predators are not mindless killers. They are sport hunters who obey certain codes of honor. That’s why they typically don’t kill unarmed targets. In the original movie, when Dutch is all but defeated, the Predator takes off his weapons to fight hand-to-hand. You could totally make a movie about a predator ditching his gear to hunt native Americans.
Of course, that’s not the movie they made.
Many years since I've seen the movie but I'm pretty sure Dutch fucked up his targeting system when he hit him with a log-trap.
The only way this would work is if it demonstrated extreme cunning. The only way someone can beat an extremely technloligicaly superior entity is via a great deal of trickery
Dutch only defeated the Predator by leaving the guns and using a literal rock and other improvised weapons.
