An elite special forces team led by Arnold Schwarzenegger's Dutch heads into the jungles of Central America on a mission to rescue hostages from guerrilla territory, only to encounter a superior race of alien hunters in the 1987 horror classic 'Predator.' 25 years later, we take a look back at the cast of this film to see what they were up to then, and where they are now.

Then: Former professional wrestler Jesse Ventura made his big screen debut in 'Predator' as Blain Cooper, a soldier who served in Vietnam alongside Mac.

Now: Like Schwarzenegger, Ventura also got into politics, and was elected governor of Minnesota in 1998, and in 2002 he announced he would not be running for a second term. Ventura has written a number of politically-themed books, and has made several guest appearances on WWE programs.

Sonny Landham, Billy Sole

20th Century Fox

Then: Sonny Landham starred as Billy Sole, a Native American tracker who helps Dutch and his crew. Landham was given a bodyguard on set -- not to protect him, but to protect his co-stars and the crew from him. Landham was prone to violent outbursts and drunkenly picking fights. Prior to landing acting gigs in films like 'The Warriors' and 'Predator,' Landham acted in pornographic films.

Now: Landham, hoping to capitalize on the success of Schwarzenegger and Ventura's political bids, ran for governor of Kentucky in 2003. He also ran for a senate seat in the state in 2008, but after making inflammatory racist comments, the Kentucky Libertarian party voted to withdraw his nomination.

Shane Black, Rick Hawkins

Then: Director John McTiernan hired screenwriter Shane Black to play the role of Hawkins -- McTiernan wanted to keep Black close at hand to help oversee the 'Predator' script. Black wrote 'Lethal Weapon,' which was released the same year. During his free time on the set of 'Predator,' Black was working on his script for 'The Last Boy Scout.'

Now: In 1993, Arnold Schwarzenegger starred in 'Last Action Hero,' written by Black. Black is also the acclaimed writer/director of the films 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang' and 'Iron Man 3.'
