Subsequent Predator media entries should have run with the Predators being douchebag, hyper-masculine soldiers who do big game hunting on primitive planets, instead of Klingonifying them.
They do to an extent. One of the metaplots in Predators is a conflict between the traditional hunter predators from previous movies and some roided up, 10 foot tall super-predators. The two factions are apparently having some kind of ethnic conflict with teh roid rager predators coming out on top.
The "Honorable Foe" thing shows up a few different ways in the movies. In the first AvP movie the Final Girl manages to solo kill an Alien during the Predator's right of passage hunt in an ancient Predator temple in Antarctica. The Predator decides that this basically makes her a blooded hunter too, so they team up together to try to find the alien queen. It's got a very game respects game feel.
