Predator.

Oh yeah, gotta be. And dtolman didn’t even need to get to “veiled criticism of American 20th Century foreign policy w.r.t. Central America” as a clue.

Got it in one :) It is indeed, Predator

The first clue would have been enough! Predator is such a perfect movie - in fact, I think it is the movie equivalent of a good AC/DC song - simple, yet incredibly efficient.

Speaking of the first clue…

  1. Handshake
  2. (unique) Hunting trophy
  3. Damn good riders
  4. Fisheye
  5. Impressive list of war injuries

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen?

Nope!

Here is the new clue:

  1. Handshake
  2. (unique) Hunting trophy
  3. Damn good riders
  4. Fisheye
  5. Impressive list of war injuries

and, for Mr @Djscman:

  1. Veiled criticism of American 20th Century military–industrial complex

Well that’s no help, it applies to maybe half the movies made in America in the last 70 years.

Some of those points would apply nicely to Dr. Strangelove.

It does, but it ain’t. I should add that the last clue is not to be taken too seriously.

Some of those points would also sorta apply nicely to Jaws.

Similarly, I was thinking Life Aquatic at first but it doesn’t really work in the end,

Or Chasing Amy, but there are other movies that probably fit the clues better.

Predator 2?

I love the idea that Chasing Amy and Predator 2 could fit the same clues.

Why? They both had alien monsters in them, right?

My bad, that was just Ben Affleck.

The Predator shows more emotions than the Aflleck.
No correct guess so far.

edit: nothing to do with the game, but since yesterday, the “dark mode” is not working on the forum. Am I the only one having this problem?

Apocalypse Now?

Nope!

Rollerball?
