The film was never cut or edited for a theatrical release, it was always intended to be a PG-13 rated film. As a result, several techniques and methods were used to sustain the rating as best as possible: - A human is rarely seen being actually pierced or stabbed with the Predators' sharp weapons onscreen, and when the penetration is shown, no blood is visible (unless you're watching the unrated cut). The violence is only inferred. - The Predators never rip out any skulls from a human or skin their corpses, as is typical for their species, only doing this to Xenomorphs. Instead they hang up the human corpses with wires. - The Xenomorphs never actually kill any of the humans (if you exclude the chestbursters), only kidnapping them to be used as hosts for chestbursters. - All of the heavy gore scenes only occur with the extraterrestrial creatures. - Any human characters that die from a chestburster are strategically dressed in orange or red clothing to minimize the visibility of the gore. Sebastian's chestburster death in particular is only seen through the Predator's thermal vision mask, and the gory aftermath is not shown. - Only one F-bomb is dropped in the film, when Alexa says that she hopes the bomb "kills every f**king one of them" referring to the hatching facehuggers. She also says the Predator franchise's catchphrase "you're one ugly motherf**ker" but it's censored.
