- Rubén Blades was giving a live TV interview to Good Morning America (1975) from the set of Predator 2 (1990) when director Hopkins walked on camera and ordered Blades back to work very loudly. The incident was so embarrassing, Blades and Hopkins did another interview days later to apologize.
- He described Predator 2 (1990) of which he said "I'm pretty immature, really, so it was kind of a laugh". He followed it with Judgment Night (1993) ("a real, absolute, total bomb" according to Hopkins), Blown Away (1994) ("made a lot of mistakes") and The Ghost and the Darkness (1996) ("It was a mess. I haven't been able to watch it.").

But when I look back, I think I'm the luckiest guy in the world because I don't understand how it all occurred.".
