Director Paul W.S. Anderson developed the Shuriken as a replacement for the Smart Disc; while he liked the concept of a thrown Predator cutting weapon, he thought the Smart Disc in Predator 2 (1990) "looked too much like a Frisbee." The Shuriken was based on the traditional Japanese weapons of the same name (colloquially known as "throwing stars"), although with greatly increased size, and the additional ability to be folded away for storage. He also redesigned the shoulder-mounted cannons to appear more bulky and powerful, since he thought that the versions seen in the previous movies looked like a hairdryer.
