    Aliens! Aliens, that's what I'm thinking of. I stand corrected and apologise for missing out an ' s '. So we have cleared up the first question, does anyone know what I mean about the whole predator scene after Dutch has swum out of the lake and is being pursued by " one ugly futha mucka "

      The Aliens reference was very obvious (and awesome!) as Lisa even screams "Get away from him you beep before crushing the monster with the bulldozer. I didn't catch the Predator reference but now that you mentioned, I think you're right about that. "What are you waiting for! Come on! Come and get me!", that whole scene definitely gives a strong Predator vibe.

          You are not crazy, I noticed those 2 plus others, this movie was filled
          with homages to other horror/sci-fi movies.
          I personally thought that this was one of the better horror/sci-fi/comedies
          that I have seen in a long time, and I watch a ton of these type of movies.
          I thought the chemistry between the main actors were spot on, and the
          2 gardas love chemistry was so perfect that I believed it as if I were
          watching the greatest romcom that has been put to film.
          People are saying that it is unrealistic that 2 people can fall for one
          another so hard so fast, those people need to get out more. I personally
          have been at a bar or a get together, and met a girl and we got along
          instantly. One time I was walking through a crowded dance floor(no I wasn't
          drunk) and heard a girl that I passed say something about how I looked good.
          I spun around and ended up face to face with the girl. I asked her what she said
          ans watched her turn red. we danced and talked. left and went to a dennys and
          she spilled her coffee, I cleaned it up for her without a second thought.
          she told me later, after she broke up with her then boyfriend so we could
          see each other, that when I cleaned up her coffee, that she knew that we
          were meant for each other. we were living together soon after and it
          lasted about a year. we still keep in contact after 20 years. so ya,
          people do fall for each other like they see in movies, you never know
          when mister/misses right will come along.

            I most definitely picked up on both Predator and Aliens reference. Right before crawling backwards covering himself in mud he screaming for the thing to come get him. And the bar scene reminded me of Gremlins (first movie).

              And it is a distant cousin to Tremors. Grabbers. Graboids?

                And the scene in the bar, with the little grabbers is really similar to Gremlins.

                  Like a lot of horror films I think I paid homage toa lot of the classics - like someone mentioned there the ttremors tie in, not to mention the night of the living dead was playing on the TV in the background towards the beginning. ("their coming to get you, Barbara")
