"I ain't got time to bleed" Love that line.
@@behappybevegan you got time to duck😂😄
Those were the days. When you went into a cinema totally clueless to what you were about to see.
I went solely because it was an Arnold film. Man, did I LOVE IT!!!
Absolutely. When this came out, I wasn't really sure I wanted to see it, but then gave it a try. Was more than happily surprised at the great fun I had in the theater that day.
The effects in this film were mind-blowing for me at that age!
I re-watch this movie at least twice every year. It never gets old, the score is fantastic, the team work of the military characters was very believable. No other Predator movie has approached the level of this movie, IMO.
I'm surprised you didn't show Mac dry shaving with that disposable razer to show how bad they are compared to the one you use LOL
Good one, or Mac's original razor prop selling at auction...

Hey Dan ! I love you videos ! Quick sugestion: Could you do "They Live !", please ? It's one of my favorite 80s films about the aliens who normally look human but when Rowdy Roddy Piper puts on the special sunglasses he sees their true form and the social engineering subconscious messaging ("OBEY", et cetera) in the communications channels ? Thanks Dan :)
RIP, Roddy Piper...
Hey, thanks so much for your support! On my extremely long list for the future :) Cheers, Dan
Darkman is an obscure title, but an original story; definitely worthy of a MM&M video. One you didn't mention but i thought was a very underrated action sci-fi film (also released in 1987) - "The Hidden."
Extreme trivia (that probably no one will care about) : In the scene were Blain (Jesse Ventura) was killed, he first hears something moving through the jungle toward him which turns out to be some weird little rodent-like jungle animal so he relaxes. That animal was a Mexican Hairy Dwarf Porcupine.
@@InjuredRobot. I just knew it was the Mexican hairy Dwarf porcupine!,,,,see, I have what I call a dog....so I am well versed on these issues
"Alien, Pumpkin Head aaaand..... Dylan Mulvaney"
😂 😅
It's had two scenes in this movie that really hook me up:
1 - When the guy has his arm cut off and the machine gun attached to its amputed arm continues to fire - AWESOME
and
2 - When Arnold get off the mudd and gotcha the predator by surprise - AMAZING.
This movie had 2 future governors and one future gubernatorial candidate.
You forgot Shane Black in your rundown of the redshirts. He later directed another Predator movie.
One of my top 3 Si-Fi movies of all time. I still remember sitting in the theater watching the reveal scene. Nobody was ready for what was underneath that helmet. Simply outstanding!
DisneY?? Another dead franchise coming right up.
Funny and true😂
When are they going to remake Tarzan? I nominate Samuel L Jackson, and Lizzo for the lead roles.
Di$ney , Sorry but there's profit to be had.
@@col2049 From disney?????
According to the stipulation of the Edgar Rice Burroughs estate, any remake must be made exactly like in the book,an orphaned white baby of explorers raised by apes in Africa.Any deviation of original from such and he cannot be called Tarzan.
It was filmed outside of Puerto Vallarta. Back in the mid90’s I took a taxi tour and they brought us to the site; Arnold built a bar and had a small zoo there at the time.
@@mugwugthemagnificful Please tell us more about the small zoo. I have been trying to figure out where the little animal (a Mexican Hairy Dwarf Porcupine) for Blains death scene was provided from. I'm imagining one being in a zoo Arnold was setting up and it got a part in the movie, as they are not that easy (so I have been told) to spot out in the wild. Any info would be great, thanks in advance!
Thank you Dan This is one of my all time favorite movies.
Everytime I see NFL stars with dredlocks I think of the Predator. It is such a cool, iconic look.
Even the Predator's mouth looks like a mouth guard.
So many fun facts, Dan! You outdid yourself!
i just watched this again recently, it still holds up as a great sci/fi horror action film.
17:37 Billy ain't scared of NO MAN! 14:04
Arguably one of Arnold’s best movies!
No argument
No, it has to be Terminator or Conan
@@NoahSpurrier "... *one of* ..."
Peter Hall was not a helicopter pilot.
He was a CHOPPA pilot.😁
RIP Bigman. 🙏
this was one of your best Dan, good job
If I remember correctly the same auction house sold the "self-destruct" arm piece about 10 years ago, still fully functional with the alien LED countdown clock. Really cool piece, and a pivotal prop for the climatic ending.
I remember watching this in the theater when it came out such a great movie with a great cast. I've always thought that the reason this generated so many sequels and alien versus predator battles and all the other things is just because there's always room for another monster type movie. Man against the monster it's worked for decades.
In my head cannon, only Predator and Predator 2 exist in this franchise. I agree that the original Predator is in a league by itself, but 2 was a decent sequel.
Agree
Hope you enjoy it
@@DonBakke I've yelled "GET TO THE CHOPAH ! " to some very un cool people and the dopiest of the dopsters asks "....what chopper?"
@@DonBakke
"PREY" was pretty good too, especially when it was also dubbed in the Comanche tongue.
@@texan-american200 I watched PREY. I thought it was a technically well made movie. It certainly was better than all the other sequels and spin-offs. However, I think it contained enough cringe and questionable scenes that I am slow to recommend it and I do not consider it to be a rewatchable film (rewatchability is a major criteria for me). I thought Naru was a bit too much of a girl boss. She wasn't a full Mary Sue, but there were moments where this trope crept in. I also think the show wrote itself into a corner because of the famous pistol scene. How does that pistol get into the possession of the Predator clan that gives it to Harrigan? I'm sure there is a narrative way to make that happen, but I hazard to guess that it will come across as contrived and convoluted (very similar to how I felt about Alien: Romulus).
That brings back memories. I wasn't allowed to see it when it came out, so I had to wait a few years. Then, my buddy and I told his dad we wanted to see a scary action movie and we rented Predator 2 from Blockbuster. The next weekend we got the first. We were both stuck to the TV just amazed as my buddies mom was on the couch behind us going "Is this really an appropriate movie for ten year olds?"
I was lucky enough back in the day to work on PREDATOR (The Hunter at that time) at BOSS Films who did the original "bug" suit for JCVD - I worked on several of the dead bodies that hug from the trees. FUN TIMES! - Special note: While the new Predator was being designed, the film shut down, Arnold went off to shoot The Running Man*
did he come back witha case of Cadre Cola for everyone?! :)
I feel that this video could have been a lot longer. There was no mention of where things were, lunchboxes and board games, video games, etc. Love your channel!
Also missed the awesome COMICS and BOOKS (novels and short story anthologies} retelling and continuing the story .
Brings back so many memories! Predator looked so much like my first wife. Oh- how those days sucked… But what a great flick!! ❤️🤷♂️
RIP Carl Weathers
Bravo Dan! So well done! I’ve seen this one so many times, I’ve lost count and I still learned something new here!
Another great episode, Dan! Keep 'em coming!
Thank YOU for watching! Cheers, Dan
Dan ...awesome "Predator" Info Video! The original flick was definitely the best (so far) of these movies. However I own the original & all the sequels & spin-offs on Blu-ray, 4k UHD, The Hunter Edition. etc.🙂
I met Danny Glover on my honeymoon in Paris, we were staying at the same hotel. I turned around and there was a tall black guy behind me. I'm 6'3" and he towered above me. It was Glover. I said "I loved you in Predator2" . I think he was just relieved I didn't say Lethal Weapon!
How freaking cool is that?! Thanks so much for sharing! Cheers, Dan
Top notch writing, cast, special effects, i can go on and on.... Still a favorite to this day.
Thanks for another great one Dan!
Thank YOU for watching! Cheers, Dan
Outstanding Deep Dive, Dan. This is a fantastic movie. Call me crazy, but I equally love the sequel Predator 2, a movie made with loving care and completely different.
That Disney Predator looks horrible.
They're going to make him gay aren't they...
Excellent movie. I did not expect that it would be the movie that it turned out to be when I went to go see it at the theaters.
Richard Chaves in War of the Worlds, do a show on that. Please
On my extremely long list for the future! Cheers, Dan
Poncho: "You're hit! You're bleedin', man!"
Blain: "I ain't got time to bleed."
Great lines.
"Over there... beyond the treeeeeeeeeeeeees...." - Bill Duke
Stan Winston did fantastic work!
What about the suit and masks and stuff?
Dan, I'm surprised you didn't mention Shane Black (Hawkins). He went on to writing and directing some good movies.
He also did The Predator....which was.....really bad.
I think, he started writing Lethal Weapon on the set of this movie-
fun note, Hawkins has at one point a Sgt Fury comic book. Schwarzeneggar was in talks to be IN a live action Sgt Fury movie :)
This original Predator movie was the best. It's one of those movies I've watched countless times. It probably may have the most memorable one liners.
It wasn't nearly as good, but, I still enjoyed watching Predator 2 by expanding the hunt to an urban jungle. And, dropping an Easter egg (and I suppose future teaser) with the xenomorph skull in the trophy wall of the predator ship at the end. I forget, was the flintlock pistol something that showed up in Prey, also? I know it was explained who it belonged to.
A group of TH-camrs in Texas proved that covering yourself in mud would disguise the human form from the Predator's heat vision.
The reimagining's and crossovers have been a mixed bag, but there was also an Anime series developed by Disney.
RIP Kevin Peter Hall 1955-1991.
True fact, the costume,van Damme was wearing was so hot that he ended up losing so much weight due to the excessive heat inside the costume and he kept passing out and became dehydrated, he genuinely thought this movie would kill him, he practically went on strike and begged to be let go.
Great stuff Dan. One of the best action/sci fi movies of the last 50 years.
Rule #1 for traveling to Mexico: DRINK BOTTLED WATER... #2: NO ICE IN DRINKS.
There's a reason that it's called "Montezuma's Revenge"...
As far as the sequels goes..predators was great
I remember seeing predator in the theaters. I watched the movie you think I think I went to it three times and the thing that kept running in my head was wouldn’t it be interestingly cool to have a predator go after an alien and lo and behold we finally have it.
Another great episode. If anyone is in New Jersey for Chiller theater convention in October, both Bill Duke and the actor who played Chavez will be at the convention.
Ill be there, cant wait to meet them
Dan, this was a terrific video. This is another one of those movies where a behind the scenes reveal like yours could go for over an hour if you let it. One thing though. You might be interested to know that the handheld mini-gun "Old Painless" was rented from the now defunct Stembridge Gun Rentals and was later used by Arnold himself in Terminator 2. It was an actual M134 minigun firing 7.62mm NATO ammo.It's normal firing rate of 6000 rounds per minute was slowed down to 1250 rpm because otherwise the frame rate of the filming just showed the barrels as being a stationary blur (also to allow Ventura to hold it while firing). It was strictly Hollywood though because even at 1250 rpm the ammo backpack would only hold even rounds for 4-6 seconds of fire. That and it required the power from several 12 volt car batteries to run. The power cable ran down the actor's pants leg to off screen. After Stembridge liquidated its inventory the whereabouts of Old Painless are unknown (at least to me).
I love this movie. This is peak 80’s. Amazing ensemble and because there was not a large supporting cast to distract you with, you got to know them. I have a list of 4 movie that are my definite favourites and this is one of them. I also love 2, different setting, different characters, builds on the lore without going wild. I love it. The McTiernan commentary for this is so interesting. McTiernan has done some awesome movies. This, Basic, Die Hard, The hunt for the Red October and 13th Warrior.
Hawkins?
Did you find, Hawkins?
I can’t tell.
Screenwriter Shane Black, who wrote Lethal Weapon, Long Kiss Goodnight, and Last Action Hero, Played Hawkins.
He also directed Ironman 3.
Dan,
Top commentary. I agreed 100% with your well-tempered coverage of this flick. I too was pleasantly surprised when I first saw it in a theater when it first came out. I also didn't know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised by the whole thing. Predator II was less appealing but not horribly so but yeah, it was a sequel and not as fun as the original. Of course, this is because the original was actually something fairly novel (enough) and new (enough) to place a different slant on the sic-fi/action field. Nice work, sir.
Talking about movies I saw in the theater during their first run makes me feel old.
Fun Fact! Shane Black, who played team member Hawkins, went on to write the screenplays for Lethal Weapon 1-3 and The Monster Squad (among a ton of others, but that, my friends, is a topic for another post LOL).
All the characters in Predator are amazing. I will like to see a GI Joe movie with characters like this ones. Great episode Dan; you are the Starlog magazine of 2024.
this is awesome! but whatever happened to space 1999?
Thanks Dan. Great show again. I like the way they always had to explain Arnold’s accent. “Hi Dutch! Haven’t seen you since Munich” 🤣🤣
One of the best movies I to watch it with some buddies from school.Loved the look of the predator iconic creature ever made for movie. Great job Dan keep those videos coming.👍
Couldn't agree more!
Dan you are just the fun guy in all of us....
Hi Dan Predator is one of my top 10 movies of all time, brilliant it looks fabulous even by today's standards. Movie makers look and learn. Cheers Dave
I love this movie. I went to see it with my then girlfriend when the Arnold action streak was blazing the box office. RIP to cast members Carl Weathers (Dillon), Sonny Landham (Billy), R.G. Armstrong (General Phillips), Kevin Peter Hall (The Predator) and creature designer Stan Winston 💐
how about whatever happened to Max Headroom
On my extremely long list for the future! Cheers, Dan
Manly Men doing Manly Things and Dying. Score one for Darwin.
I love the sequels and crossovers with Alien, but yes, that's another story.
What do you know? The Alien is a Disney Princess. Just waiting for the musical.
Nightime, mostly, through the vents come creeping,
Hunting, searching while the colonists are sleeping
Want to give your face a hug, I am more than just a bug,

"10 Cloverfield Lane" director, Dan Trachtenberg's "Prey" was an amazing film that revived the franchise after Shane Black's "The Predator" buried it. Though I really dug "Predator II" when it was in theatres, pound for pound, "Prey", imo, was the best Predator movie since the original and I can't wait to see what he does with "Badlands".
I wasn't going to watch this one (sorry Dan!) because Predator isn't really my thing. But, it accidentally popped up on my tablet, I got watching (it would be rude to turn Mr Munroe away!), and, well, Dan has done it again. Excellent video once more!
Outstanding trip on memory lane! Great video as usual! Thank you!
Thank you! Loved reading Arnold’s descriptions of the making of the film in his memoir.
Another successful chapter of M, M, & M! Great job taking us on another deep dive into a favorite of mine. Thanks Dan!
Thanks Dan. Though I'm surprised no one ever references the story 'The Most Dangerous Game'. I always felt Predator was a sci-fi version of that story. Also I believe the Predator, while designed at Stan Winston Studios was created by Steve Wang. Winston was working on Pumpkinhead and handed the project off to Wang to complete.
I liked most of the sequels except The Predator. That one was a tough watch. I could at least appreciate the silliness of AVP
Thanks Dan, another fantastic insight into one of my favourites, wish I had seen it on the big screen, good for you lad 👌
Here's hoping that you'll be overwhelmed with fan support at your meet and greet,,,and now, let's watch your presentation....How cool is that?
This movie has some practical effects that hold up today. Outstanding. I can watch this at any point in the film to finish. The creature was really freakin scary. The original is the jam. Great job!!! Thank you. Wow a lot of surprises on this! Again, great job!
Thank YOU for watching! Cheers, Dan
For some reason, I thought it was Vietnam war film before I saw it .
I talked a friend into seeing it with me and he was upset it was not a straight war movie
Isaw, this when it first came out in 87
One of my favorites, thanks Dan.
Like you, I saw it when it was originally released in theaters. Loved it then and still like watching it a couple of times a year to this day. Great film!
Great video as always Dan and this is one of my favorite movies for sure.
Dan is the man. Absolutely love the vidz he puts up.
They had the full Predator outfit in Ottawa Canada in a rare out of print never on dvd/blu-ray VHS retail store , loved that placxe full of movie props.
This was my time ! We had the best movies back then….
Billy: There's something out there and it ain't no man....... We're all gonna die.
I first saw in theater I totally love ❤️ the predator movie.
I imagine they changed the name to not be confused with the TV show Hunter
This was a good one. You were spot on about it being made better than they would have made it today! Good details that I wasn't aware of. I like how all the films you cover were available in Betamax. Thanks again, Dan. Disney... :/
You've got a lot of movies/tv shows to get through! You mentioned License to Kill with Timothy Dalton, second best Bond after Connery. Unrelated but in your titles, I believe the Beatles started to fall apart after the death of Brian Epstein, who gave them incentive to work together while he was alive.
Another great video Dan! Predator in my book is the greatest scfi film of all time. I would love if you did a video on a slightly similar movie from 1980 called "Without Warning" where an alien hunter terrorizes a small rural community.
Thanks so much for watching! "Without Warning" is on my extremely long list for the future :) Cheers, Dan
I would LOVE to see a Predator movie set in feudal Japan. Samurai and ninjas vs the Yautja? Hook me up! That's 80s paradise.
Another great video Dan! This is one of my favorite Arnold movies and the best of all the Predator movies!
Couldn't agree more!
Another great vid Dan! You keep knocking em out of the ball park! Keep ‘em coming!
The best scene for me of this movie was when the mercs light up the jungle with all of their weapons.
¿Qué pasó, mujer?
¿Mujer, qué pasó?

Every time I watch Predator, my beard grows a few inches.
@@carlosencarnacion1255 "la selva se lo llevó" 😱👽
I agree with you when I first went to see it, sat down. started watching a standard 80s action flick when out of no where it took a hard right into a sci-fi monster film. And the effects were really great so much nicer than much of what e see these days. Thanks for covering one of my most favorite films.
If the studios wanted to make more money (or any money at all these days), they should give up making movies and just re-release the hit films from the past. I'd pay to watch Wrath of Khan in the theater.
As would I. Especially, "The Wrath of Khan".
Predictor 2 is actually pretty good. 1 is such a classic 2 had no chance
Nice deep dive, I was hoping you might have touched on where more of the original costumes are and if they still exist.
