- Gene Siskel - Host: [reviewing "Predator"] I think you get the feeling you've seen this movie before, except, I must say, when the creature arrives. When the creature arrives, that's a little different in the beginning of the creature. But when you see the creature finally at the end of the picture, then you think you're seeing outtakes from the movie "Aliens". As derivative as "Predator" is, though, it's not all bad, not by a long shot. Schwarzenegger can be funny, and the creature, as I said, is a marvelous creation in its invisibility, as it moves around and blends in with the foliage. But the story is old hat. No, make that recent hat: "Rambo" mixed with "Aliens".
- Roger Ebert - Host: Let me get this straight: You liked the creature as long as you couldn't see it. It's only when you could see it that you didn't like it.
- Gene Siskel - Host: Full- yes, in its full revelation- I don't want to give away too much of the movie...
- Roger Ebert - Host: You must've enjoyed the early scenes in "The Invisible Man".
- Gene Siskel - Host: I DID enjoy them, yes. My imagination is more interesting than the reality. You got it.
- Roger Ebert - Host: This movie, I think, is better than you're giving it credit for. It is exactly what it is: It is a pure, summer...
- Gene Siskel - Host: What does that mean?
- Roger Ebert - Host: ...Action picture. It is two hours of excitement, they shot it on location in the jungle, which is a very effective place, uh...
- Gene Siskel - Host: Yeah, that's a good place for a jungle movie.
- Roger Ebert - Host: No, but I mean, they could've shot it on the backlot somewhere. This looks and sounds right, it feels right, there's a lot of energy in it, and that's what it is. Of course it's a cross between "Aliens" and "Rambo", but so what? The people that will enjoy this movie can't remember...
- Gene Siskel - Host: I don't...
- Roger Ebert - Host: ...last summer's movies. Probably can't remember last WEEK'S movies.
- Gene Siskel - Host: Now come on, forget the people- I don't care, obviously, people are gonna enjoy it, I don't enjoy it! I'm tired of this stuff, and that's all I'm paid here to say.
- Roger Ebert - Host: Okay, next movie, our next movie is "Million Dollar"- I shouldn't have been so hard on those people- what I'm trying to say is, not that they couldn't remember the movies they'd seen last week, but that it's...
- Gene Siskel - Host: Oh don't...
- Roger Ebert - Host: ...Simply a Friday night entertainment.
- Gene Siskel - Host: Yeah...
- Roger Ebert - Host: It's very effective on that level.
- Gene Siskel - Host: Your, your standards are dropping. Your standards are dropping.
- Roger Ebert - Host: My standards are NOT dropping. Nevermind, if you think my standards are dropping, our next movie, I was about to say, is "Million Dollar Mystery", speaking of dropping standards!
