Synopsis:
The CIA hires Dutch and his group of commandos to rescue downed airmen from guerillas in a South American jungle. The mission goes well-but soon the tables are turned and the hunters become the hunted. Virtually invisible, the mysterious creature following them seems to blend in with the forest, taking trophies from the bodies of its victims as it picks the party apart, one man at a time.

Tidbit:
According to an interview with director John McTiernan, the "hole in the jungle," invisible Predator was originally a part played by Jean-Claude Van Damme in a blue-screen (actually red) suit. Van Damme quit after two days, unhappy with his role as an un-credited special effect
