“If it bleeds, we can kill it.”

From: Predator

Genre: Movies

Who said it?: Major Dutch Shaefer

The story behind the quote: This quote comes from the 1987 action sci-fi movie, Predator. In it, a team of commandos, led by Major Dutch Shaefer (portrayed by Arnold Schwarzenegger), come into contact with an alien lifeform intent on killing them for sport.

The quote comes from the middle of the film. The Predator has killed a good number of the commandos and seems unstoppable. The woman they were bringing with them explains that she noticed the creature was somehow injured. This is when Dutch delivers the quote and rallies his troops.

Geek wisdom: Even the most insurmountable odds can be overcome. But it does take tenacity and the willingness to beat the odds, which may seem impossible… but it actually is possible.

Most of my childhood (and adult life) was spent doing a lot of geeky stuff: watching TV, playing video games and going to the movies. To some, it may have been a waste of time. Well, to me, it has made me what I am today... a geeky adult. I actually write for a couple of blogs, namely: geekwisdom.wordpress.com 3rdworldgeeks.com gamemoir.com Please check them out!
