It was not that bad, design wise - but as I understand the logistics of the costume made it impossible to use. Van Damme couldn't control the thing and he looked like a man on wobbly stilts during initial filming.

Stan Winston was given the redesign job and came up with the Predator design we all know and love.

By the way, I just heard that Winston passed away last week. For shame, the man designed the Terminator, The Thing, gave Jason his hockey mask, Jurassic Park, Batman, and the aliens from Aliens - just to name a few. The man was a FX legend and will be missed.
