Predator for Politics

I was recently watching the movie Predator during one of those all night movie marathons, and I realized something. The film contains 3 future politicians. I realize that this is a very irrelevant and probably coincidental fact but the film does in fact contain 3 people that have made runs for political positions. Some being more successful than others. These 3 actor/politicians are Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jesse Ventura, and Sonny Landham. Arnold Schwarzenegger is our current governor of California, while Jesse Ventura was the single term governor of Minnesota from 1999 to 2003. In 2003, Sonny Landham attempted to be the Republican governor of Kentucky, but he failed to get the nomination. In 2004, he attempted to run for the Kentucky State Senate, but he failed there too. Then in 2008, he announced his candidacy as a libertarian to be a United States Senator, but the libertarian party withdrew his nomination after he made several anti-Arab remarks . On a Predator related note, Director Robert Rodriguez is planning a remake of the Predator film.
