They see there are three or four moons in the sky, which are either colossal or very near.
Royce observes something bizarre: The sun never moves. The gravity lets them walk as usual, and they can breathe and hydrate. How did they find themselves in this dense jungle, and why? They determine they're on another planet: a flawlessly terra-formed one, it would appear. These people are bitter specialized murderers from all over: a mercenary, a yakuza (who uses a Hanzo sword probably QT buddy Rodriguez's idea), an Israeli markswoman, a serial killer, an African warlord, etc.
The first to land, with a powerful thud, is Royce. The last thing they recall is a blinding blaze of light. Yes, the whole plot and all the humans plummet into the movie from the heavens, dropping toward the alien soil, shrieking, groping for ripcords on the parachutes that they didn't realize they had. Predators, an entertaining film with genuine surprises, may be the first movie I've seen to start with a deus ex machina.
