"Marshal Matt Dillon vs. Predator" Topic

My sons and I have a long standing argument about who would take who in a Marshal Matt Dillon vs. Predator scenario. In my opinion it's a no brainer Matt Dillon would put the hickory nut crunch on some sissy alien predator, especially if Miss Kitty is watching. Newly or maybe even Festus might get taken out in the process but the winner is clearly Matt Dillon.

Sorry I would like to agree with you but the Alien would be tearing Ol matt's spine out of him before Festus could spit. Then it would be a Good Ol' Fashioned spine pulling fest like they had when I was a boy.

I agree with Irish. You can shoot what you cant see.

Except that IIRC, Matt Dillon didn't need to see his opponent, as he always just *knew* his opponent was there, and where to put the bullet to do the most damage…

Ole Predator would be a-havin' his hands full with Sheriff Dillon!

The Marshall always wins at the end of the episode. It's in the show's Bible. (I was just watching it last night. What a great TV series.)

If Arnold and Glover could take a predator Arness could take three by himself.

Well after all Arness was The Thing. I think any Predator would have a tough time with that beastie.

Dillon all the way. Love that show.

We would like Dillon to win but my bet is on the Predator. Sorry…

No contest Dillion! Now lets just how Hollywood doesn't steal this idea and make a movie.

You all do know that none of the predators were ever killed with a gun don't you????????

They already did, it's called "Cowboys vs Aliens".

The only reason the predator was a threat was because it could hide in ambush in a ship or building.
Having acid for blood is also a distinct disadvantage when you start bleeding.

Matt Dillon was an outdoorsman and a crack shot.
He'd just walk out to the middle of the street and call the critter out. Then plug it full of lead.

Only as a youngun…

As a child, I also had trouble with vegetables.

bashytubits, Daniel Craig does not a Dillon make…

TTD: You're confusing Aliens and Predator, which others seem to be doing, as well. Preds had a Harry Potter cloak that did OKAY in the woods.

CC: Actually, he did okay, as well.

And, I'll take the CvA friendly alien over Miss Kitty as motivation ANY day.

Doug (Contrary my buns…)

Dillon all the way – as noted, what works in a damp hot jungle won't go so well in the windy dry West

Nobody…and I mean NOBODY, gets the drop on Matt Dillon. In fact, all the Sheriff would have to do is give that alien beast his patented steely stare and it would high-tail it back to the spaceship and leave the planet, never to return.

Naw. The Predator would return Dillion's steely stare, then sit down with him for a hand of poker over whisky as an equal.

Dillon would then probably wind up deputizing the Predator.

Why?

Why not?

Good guy always wins…Dillon would find a way. Of course Hollywood would probably make Miss Kitty pregnant so the Predator would spare her…

No, Why would you want to mix up Old west and SF?

Sorry its is a waste to me.

Then I'm sure there are some SF gamers that fill that Historical gaming is a waste.

My thoughts.

The real question is why wouldn't you? Do we not all play with toy soldiers? Are some toy soldiers cooler than others because they are "historical"? The answer is.."no" they are all toy soldiers. To each his own.

The original question has nothing to do with your comment. The real waste is a comment that nothing to do with the thread.

Dillon wouldn't have to outshoot the Predator, just out-think it:

Dillon lures Predator into jail cell and locks door. He leaves building. An unarmed Festus is in an adjacent cell and begins one of his long stories. The Predator rips it's own head and spine out to end the torment…. ;-)
