Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
While the film's initial setup involves politically charged elements like covert operations, its central narrative quickly shifts to an apolitical theme of primal survival against an extraterrestrial threat, focusing on individual ingenuity and action over explicit ideological statements.
The movie features a visibly diverse ensemble cast for its period, with various ethnic backgrounds represented among the commando team. The narrative, however, maintains a traditional framing, focusing on action and survival without critiquing or explicitly centering traditional identities or DEI themes.
Secondary
Predator (1987) does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative is centered on a special forces team's combat and survival against an alien in a jungle setting, with no elements related to queer identity or experiences present in the story.
Predator (1987) does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative is entirely focused on a military action-sci-fi plot, therefore, the film has no impact on the portrayal of transsexual individuals or issues.
The film features Anna Gonsalves, a female guerrilla fighter, who is present during combat situations. However, she is primarily portrayed as a captive and survivor, and does not engage in or win any close-quarters physical fights against male opponents.
The 1987 film "Predator" introduced all its characters as original creations. There were no pre-existing source materials, prior installments, or historical figures for these characters to have established genders before this movie. Therefore, no character's gender was changed from a prior canonical depiction.
Predator (1987) is an original film featuring characters created specifically for this production. There is no prior source material, historical figures, or previous installments from which character races could have been established and subsequently changed.
