"Dillon, you son of a b****!" With that one statement in "Predator" between Dutch (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and Dillon (Carl Weathers), as well as two manly hands clasping, a meme was born. It would appear that those famous clasped hands are also a reflection of the friendship between the two actors, as Schwarzenegger took to X to speak about losing such an incredible performer.
Carl Weathers will always be a legend. An extraordinary athlete, a fantastic actor, and a great person. We couldn't have made Predator without him. And we certainly wouldn't have had such a wonderful time making it.

Schwarzenegger wrote about all Weathers managed to accomplish throughout an extraordinary career. Additionally, he noted how Weathers helped make "Predator" the influential film it became. "We couldn't have made Predator without him," he wrote. "And we certainly wouldn't have had such a wonderful time making it."
It appears the feeling was mutual, as Weathers told Red Carpet News TV in 2016, "We had a lot of fun, too. Lot of great guys on that movie." Weathers' character may not have lived beyond the first "Predator," but he certainly made his mark on the franchise.
