It's the fact that people called this one of, if not, the worst Predator movies upon its release, then years later realize how good it actually is. This movie is a gem, and fifteen years later, is still one of the top Predator movies in the franchise.

Danny Trejo doesn't die in every movie. Just the ones where his character is a criminal. It's actually part of his contract. As a former criminal, he put that clause in his contracts so he can show his kids and grandkids that criminal activity has serious consequences.

Isabelle ends up making it home, Royce joins with the Jungle Hunters, who were fighting the Super Predators (Bad Bloods). In the sequel comics, Royce gets left a set of armor by one of the hunters, and fights a modified Predator (bad blood) who was genetically modified to have 4 arms. He wins that, and the he an Isabelle split ways, Royce goes off with the Yautja, and Isabelle back to Earth, where she joins OWLF with Dutch to track/stop and/or fight off Predator hunts on Earth, which is revealed in the Canon video game Predator: Hunting Grounds. Dutch also was hunted and fights against a Female Predator at one point and looses, but she knew his Lore and was fascinated with him, so she let him go.

Extra info: The 3 predators in this movie are known as bad bloods. They are a sub-group of Yautja that are banished from the main clans due to their methods of hunting which doesn't follow the traditional honour code. So not being worthy won't help against these Yautja because they do not care about that and will hunt whatever they want. The level of bad blood also varies and its not a case of if they follow the code or not as we see with the berserker and falconer predator. The berserker didn't honour any of the code and was in it for the thrill of the kill. The falconer, though, still followed some of the code which was demonstrated when he fought against the Yakuza with honour. So while they're considered bad bloods, that doesn't mean they are all bad or all good, it just means they do not 100% abide by the main clans code.
