This movie is praised for it's historical accuracy for the time it's based in. Also how the main character learned form get mistakes and you can see she learned what the predators strengths and weaknesses are and how to exploit them.
Also Mary the breed of dog they used in this was very accurate the breed is called an American dingo they are said to be one of the oldest breeds in North America having followed people across the land bridge thousands of years ago
"I don't know why she keeps trying to be something she's not" - because that's what we do all our lives? Nobody's born anything. It's all practice.
😂😂 practice isnt turning danny devito into an NBA star...
@@jonnybgoode7742why not? worked for mugsy bogues and spud webb
@@jonnybgoode7742 well he could be a basketball player.. Being a star is a different take salties
Exactly! 🙏🏽💪
this jonnybgoode guy is just meat riding under every comment lol..
The Dog is a hunting partner not just some pet. They are a team. Without each other in this film they would both have died.
I believe this is the largest film made with a mostly American indigenous cast.
The Comanche Nation (pronounced Cō-man-chee) was one of the most widespread Native Tribes, whose territory stretched from the foothills of the Rockies to northern Mexico.
ALL Native American roles were played by Native American actors.
There are several excellent videos being produced recently concerning Native Americans which I found very informative - and NO ONE liked the Comanche . . . . (unless you were exploiting them).
@@Yooperbuzz Is the reason that so much English is spoken because so many of the Native Americans are from different tribes and couldn't communicate with each other in their own language, or is there some other reason?
Thanks for this, I immediately wanted to correct this too
@@marcelkuijper8240 There's actually a version where the Native Americans speak Comanche
She doesn't need to quit hunting. Just needs practice. Being self trained isn't as easy as having an experienced teacher.
In tribes they train since children 10 years old even today , Grow Up people are arrogant like that Girl that couldnt kill a bear or Deere but a super intellingence, super strong predator ...
me struggling to find your point @@nistaffsubs6787 🤮
@nistaffsubs6787 technically, she doesn't even kill it either, but tricks it into killing itself with its own tech.
She should quit hunting 😂😂
@@jonnybgoode7742
Yeah ,She should hunt d.icks... 😏
I always thought it was interesting the way this Predator killed its prey. The snake killed with its fangs. So the predator killed it with his two-pronged blade. When facing the wolf, the predator got down on all fours to kill it. He fought and killed the bear with his bare hands and didn't use weapons. If they used arrows against him, he shot arrows back at them. When the French trappers used nets to try and catch him, he used his own net back against them. I'm not sure if it was just his way of saying no matter what you try, I'm better at it than you. Or maybe it was an honor thing. Not sure. Just thought it was worth mentioning.
I actually never caught that before, very interesting.
True
He was also moving up the chain. Started with smaller predators, on to bigger ones, and ultimately on to the semi-technological humans. Always looking for his next biggest kill
My favorite part of the characterization of the Comanche hunters is the matter of fact reaction to the Predator. There was no existential crisis like in some of the other films. For these people, they recognize the physical fact of the creature and have to deal with it.
So much great stuff in this movie. The fact that the Predator had to go invisible to escape Taabe showed that it was scared, it needed tricks to win and couldn't handle the one v one anymore. In Predator terms that would make it pretty cowardly.
It doesn't make sense that taabe outmatched a predator by himself
@@jorgecabezas1966 - Sure it does.. this was a young, inexperienced predator on its' first hunt.
@@jorgecabezas1966Yes it does. Tabbe was a well trained warrior/hunter, the Predator here was an amateur.
@@ThePartisan13
According to the lore, young blooders trainings outmatch the humans trainings
@@ThePartisan13
It doesn't make sense beacsuse taabe is olny 21 and the comanche's trainings are inferior to the 20th century militray trainings
You can tell the predator is new, it’s his first hunt. He’s taking trophies from less dangerous prey and he’s basically just going around fighting everything. I think that’s a really cool detail, you can tell he’s inexperienced but still has the training of his people. Also the design is really cool, I’m glad they changed it, which could be from it being in the past and not modern, but also could be because he’s new. Like proven predators get better gear as they gain prestige. Just a lot of cool details in this movie that really make it stand out.
I think the lore is it’s their first time on earth so they started at the bottom of the food chain and went up
@@billysims5289 Yeah, it’s his first hunt. Gotta work his way up. Well, not anymore, he dead.
Actually his first hunt was the river ghost, that's the skull he has on his biomask
@@jorgecabezas1966 River ghost? Ah, this must be some lore you only get from the comics and other media then, I’m assuming?
And he gets mixed up with the most dangerous creature in the galaxy...a Mary Sue with Parkour.
15:45
The pelt-trade was blooming at this time in history, with hunters from France and Italy participating in the business. They were the onces that slaughtered the bison herd for their skins
The moment I first saw all the slaughtered buffalo/bison I knew right away that fur traders were responsible because I was IMMEDIATELY reminded of a scene showing a nearly identical massacre in the Kevin Costner film "Dances With Wolves".
For this period in North American history (1719), the fur trade in the area depicted would have been conducted overwhelming by the French. I am not aware of any significant number of Italians involved. The massive Bison "slaughters" did not happen for over a century later, post Civil War, mainly in the 1870s.
@@guyintennIt’s also worth noting that Franco-American(?) relations at the time could be considered great. Open hostility by those hunters would’ve been a no-no.
The reason she "won" was putting everything together. Like you said, flower, tree, axe on a string, mud, realized red dots are death. Naru sees what her brother misses, and uses her mind more than the other people.
Somebody Please! -tell her to watch "predators" . We can't have her skip that underrated classic in the franchise.
Somebody please tell her what a jungle is.
Dude, it's only a few years old and it's good, but hardly a classic.
@@Theomite few years? It's came out around 2010.
@@SSJThug Compare that to the first 2, which are coming up on 40 years. People are calling classics a bit early these days.
@@Theomite ok, whatever. My point still stands
"Was that moment worth watching Predator 2 over??" The disrespect!! Hahahahaha That legit made me laugh...
As a Predator fan, this movie was awesome and a lot of fun to watch
You should check out Predators, it's a lot of fun and a great sequel to the originals. And while it isn't great, the first Alien vs Predator is a lot of fun. A real blast.
Fun fact: The dog actor was a rescue.
Agree about Predators, it's one of my favorites in the series, and... dare I say it... Underrated 😱
I think they ended up keeping it
3:19 Still get chills hearing the Yautja's clicking sound! So satisfying 😌
The French men had never seen anything electronic or that would have a countdown and explode. They weren’t being dumb, they just didn’t know.
17:26 - "If it bleeds, we can kill it."
LOVE how they included Arnold's iconic line from the original movie!
Comanches were a warrior tribe. They trained constantly in knife fighting. She would have bn trained at some lvl in combat.
Naru's ankle got hurt by the bear trap and yet she shows no pain about it, they were great warriors, but they weren't the Shaolin warriors who were able to endure the pain thanks to their mind-training
They aren't past tense. The Comanche nation still exists, largely in Oklahoma.
@@DavidAntrobus yes. Ur people are still here. As a Mexican Apache descent... respect. Begrudgingly. 🤜 warriors.
@@Dragonstorm2000she did put medicine on it
I really like that they showed her practicing all her skills. Made the crazy combat feel earned. Without the training scenes, the fighting skills would feel pretty cheap.
Yeah, it shows that she's actually capable and staves off the obligatory "Mary Sue" bullshit.
she only practiced with her tomahawk (the hatchet), bow and arrows, and the spear. She never showed any experience of combat hand-to-hand
@@tastyneck
She had a few "Mary sue" moments in the film
@@jorgecabezas1966 lmao
@@tastyneck
She fought back five guys with an injured leg, isn't that a mary sue moment?
Great prequel. She won because she is smarter than a beaver. ❤
although she got a lot of help from the script, she wouldn't have won by herself in real life
@@Dragonstorm2000No one would win in real life. The Predator isn’t real.
@@BoboftheOldeWays So what? She outmatched the predator's strength, but Dutch couldn't, even though he was bigger and more muscular than Naru. Does that make any sense to you?
@@Dragonstorm2000 WTF are you talking about? Neither Naru nor Dutch outmatched the Predator’s strength. Both movies are extended cat & mouse stories with the mouse winning through guile.
@@BoboftheOldeWays did I miss anything?
I LOVED this flick. Naru is a total badass. Tabbe is a huge badass. Action. Awesome, sexy leads. A dope predator. And a good dog. What else could anyone ask for?
it doesn't make any sense that they were able to outmatch a predator so easily when Dutch and Harrigan could barely take on their predators, considering they were military veterans. How is it possible that 18th-century Comanche training was better than 20th-century military training?
@@Dragonstorm2000 Remember, the predators were 300 years earlier as well, and progress accelerates. The later predators are more advanced - relative to their prey - than this one is to these characters.
@@fajenthygia5760 that and also the fact that they were overreliant on modern weaponry as their response (think about the scene where they pretty much cut down a section of the jungle with bullets just to realise they were shooting at nothing) instead of being as observant as they can in order to understand how the yautja behave and and what are his weaknes. Naru has been doing this for the whole movie and in the end she put every bit of acquired knowledge to use to finally defeat the predator.
Dutch too managed to kill the predator in a similar "low tech" way (and arguably with a lot less hunting skills than Naru on his behalf) but it worked only because towards the end of the movie is starting to observe better the Yautja's pattern and piecing his information together so he can devise an effective strategy to kill him.
@@fajenthygia5760
Predators had millenias of evolution before humanity
@@jorgecabezas1966 So? Only matters where they are now.
Amber Midthunder was a total badass in the series Legion on FX, too.
Her yell when she finishes him, always gives me chills. A worriors scream, respect.. such great film that gave the Predator franchise justice.. herd they coming out with another one where it takes place during the samurai era!
This is a great movie! The Predator series is renewed. Luved the characters especially the brother / sister story. Once again brains and determination prevail over Braun! Luv Amber Midthunder as Naru! Also it was fun to see a dog get into the story and not get killed! Luv ya Mary Cherry 🍒❤💛
The brother is coolest character in the movie. Not to take away from Amber, but I really thought the brother was cool AF.
Agreed. He was the coolest but that doesn't discredit how great Naru was. Both can be true. They just had different motivations and plot requirements.
@@tastyneckTrue, he was a responsible leader and treated his sister fairly while no one else would.
@@tastyneck and plot armor...
I’m sorry but when she said “french tribe” I burst out laughing, oh man. What the hell lol also it’s not the jungle, that’s North American forests and plains
I don't expect an Australian to know American history and past cultures tbh so she gets a pass.
@@ThePartisan13 still funny tho lol
This movie did so well that there’s talk of doing more Predator movies set in different time periods. One guy on TikTok did a video of a studio throwing out an idea for one of it set in feudal Japan in the 1100’s and I’m for it
Also in the egytians time
I'd love to see Vikings vs Predator. Could you imagine the carnage if the predator goes up against an entire group of people whose main goal in life was to die gloriously in battle?
@@WrathOfGrapesN7 I think there’s a comic of that. One such comic is where that pistol in Predator 2 comes from. A pirate I believe. There’s word that one may happen as well. Again it’s just talk. We don’t know if they’ll do it. I say do it cause it’s new stories and doesn’t have to rely on actors who already have been on a movie. And we get chances that the Predator(s) win the battle instead of losing or dying in battle alongside a human.
Predators was also pretty good and I think worth a watch, better than predator 2 but not as good as Prey in my opinion
yeah the only ones worth skipping are the AVP movies and the Shane Black Predator movie, the latter especially
@@Omaru1982I liked the first AVP, the second one was just garbage through and through. In fact I don't think I've seen a Shane black movie that wasn't garbage. Even outside of the Predator movies, look at Ironman 3? Straight trash.
@@ThePartisan13 Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and The Nice Guys are both great movies but I usually prefer Shane Black as a writer
Fun fact, The spot in the beginning where her brother told her the story of his bow string breaking, is the exact spot the revenant scene was filmed where they were attacked in the beginning of the movie. All on the beautiful stoney nakoda reservation.
The "lion" is a mountain lion, also known as a cougar or puma, much more prevalent in western North America. They can be dangerous, but not in the way African lions are. The largest male won't generally surpass 200 pounds, but it's never a bad idea to be wary of them, even juveniles. They're stunningly beautiful animals.
She’s the only one that gave Arnold a run for his money & her brother was a true beast
At 9:46 these are skinned animals by French trappers not by predator. Also when her dog get caught you can see her surprise by trap, she probably never saw one until French came...
"Risk it for the biscuit" That is a new one 🤣
I still feel this film should have hit theaters! The whole cast was amazing and I loved how they also had the movie subbed in their native language. The story on the dog making to the film is awesome!
After that God awful Predator shane black nightmare I understand why they released it how they did.
@@ThePartisan13 I try to forget about that film 🫠
@@w3rk3r Same here, I don't know anyone that even considers that canon.
The flower is not a plot hole, she doesn't know he's using thermic vision. It's just a magic flower for her.
This movie was such a breath of fresh air after all the super hero movies that came out.
If you are going for a lineup Predators (2010) should be next. It's the only other good movie till Prey came out.
I like Predator 2 with Danny Glover... its a little dated now... but it was better than the rest of them
Predators to me is the best sequel to Predator.
I thought it was great. All the things you mentioned helped her plus the predator wasn't 100% when they fought. It had injuries from the wolf, bear, and her brother. Made it believable and still showed she was tough enough to finish the job. All around a very entertaining movie.
Yup, they aren't plot holes.
@@ev1Lsect
But she was also hurt and yet she didn't look tired at all, they both were weak, but Naru somehow remain stronger, it is a plot hole
@@jorgecabezas1966How was she really hurt at that point? She hadn't just taken a bullet to the head.
@@ThePartisan13
She almost drowned in the river when she saw him after killing the the bear, that tires you out
@@jorgecabezas1966her head stayed above the water
“A French tribe?” Lol
Deer tastes delicious, i recommend you try it at least once.
We are given to believe in the beginning that when Naru is speaking her language and soon moves to english is that we can understand her. This is why we cant understand the French trappers.
It was also the trappers who hunted and skinned the Buffalo, not the Predator, no sport in such a docile animal.
you probably already figured it out but the predator wasn't hunting the buffalo, the hunters were.
Prey: come for the monster, stay for the scenery porn.
the next Scary Cherry movie should be Pandorum, a great movie really underrated by most
Actually like that film. Love thr somewhat Dead Space vibe.
I love that film it's underrated for sure and that's not a word I use often.
"Is it a French Tribe"
oh....oh honey
She's Australian. So I don't blame her if she hasn't read some history
I used to agree that Naru figuring out about the orange flowers was a bit of a leap, but when I thought about it more I realized the movie had been setting this up for a while; 1st introducing the flowers, 2nd the grass scene where Naru realizes the Predator can see them through solid objects, 3rd that the Predator only hunts other hunters, but once he starts a hunt he will finish the hunt even if his quarry runs.
When the wounded Frenchman comes back to camp armed, Naru knows he fought the Predator and the Predator will finish him off. The man plays dead, which given the grass scene Naru knows that shouldn't work. When the Predator steps on the Frenchman, he's is surprised the guy's still alive and kills him. This lets Naru know the Predator couldn't see him anymore, but the Predator clearly saw him a very short time ago during the fight. What changed in that time? The only new variable was the orange flowers.
Edit: 23:27, 24:10 This is less of a gamble and more of an experiment (though no less badass). Naru recreated the scene with the 1st Frenchman to test her hypothesis about the orange flowers. She stays still until the Predator kills the Frenchman. If it turned out she was wrong then this would keep her safe, since the Predator had already given her a passed on at least 4 occasions at that point.
There's also the fact that if the Predator HAD been able to see Raphael then common sense dictates it would have examined him closely to try and figure out if he was faking it or not. Naru realized it couldn't see him because it didn't do that.
It could not see him cause he was cold cause of and he could not see him cause if that cause the predator uses heat vision
Native culture we leaned on dogs a lot for hunting and gaurding the tribe at night as an early warning system. They were loved and we made sure they had their uses. Hunting culture today is adapted partly through the original cononial and french fur trader hunting but they learned how to hunt in america from natives. So even todays hunting methods and dog hunting come from natives. Though people in europe had hunting dogs first america was a different beast then they were used to. When natives got dogs we knew how to utilize them near immediately. Great reaction!
Set in the jungle? LOL come on Mary... We have no jungles in the US... That was out on the forest and plains.
A lot of people said this is lame. But i think Prey ist a very neat film. Its not disrespactfull pulling new strings by ignoring the previeous parts. It does not disturb the predator universe - it completes it. The setting and the colors and lighting makes the movie very fresh. The Alien is still scary though. I like this production a lot. ❤☮
Its interesting and amazing seeing how people from other countries react to Native Americans(First Nations People), especially since there is a VERY loooong history here in the U.S. between the government and Native Americans. This movie definitely gave us Native Americans a Hero and story that portrayed us in a positive light... And i know alot of little boys and girls who look up to Naru as a hero... Something we desperately need as our own way of life is dying out.. Proving yourself at a young age is a regular thing among my people.. to the point where ive lost alot of friends young.... But its all to prepare is for a very real and rough world sadly.
A prequel to the Predator series that stays true to the essence of the original - stylishly violent, stickily graphic, impossibly tense - while also working satisfyingly as a self-contained entity.
Mary, "Is that a different tribe? A French tribe?" - You are precious, love you so much.
27:03 it wasn' t set in the Jungle, it was set in the Forest.
It was set in the Great Plains of the present-day U.S. Comanche territory ran from around Colorado/Kansas south into central Texas. It does get very hot there, but it's not humid like a jungle (the first movie took place in southeast Asia). The tapestry in the credits sort of explains the story with the pistol. The comic version of that story was actually better, in my opinion. The Predator got it as a gift from a besieged human pirate captain that he was fighting alongside. The captain was trying to fight off his crew who was mutinying against him, and the Predator respected his resolve and jumped in to help. Also, they just announced a sequel to this. I can't wait.
29:44 My impression is that Naru was born with genius-level intellect; she sees patterns and thinks things through faster than anyone. If she had been born in our time, she would have been a grandmaster chess player or a top-tier software developer or scientist. In her time, she was the only one who could have outsmarted the Predator. She does make mistakes, but she learns from them quickly. Naru is one of the best female action heroes ever put to film, in my opinion.
I don’t think it’s that. It’s that she has something to prove, she has the drive and will, also these people have been hunting and living off the land for thousands of years, they are always thinking and problem solving in order survive.
@@CChissel😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@jonnybgoode7742 ??
@jonnybgoode7742 what's so damn funny?🤨
Mary: awed at the pistol that would show up in Predator 2.
Me: you know that means other predators returned and would have massacred the village to reacquire it, right? Lol
No it doesn’t. They don’t take property as trophies. More likely it is given the pistol by a human out of respect the same way Harrigan received it without killing the owner of it.
@@surlycanadian the credits actually show a pictographic story showing what we saw in the movie, but also continues showing the ship returning with more predators. So safe to say the predators saw the village as fair game and killed them all and retook the pistol
Don't you dare bring logic into modern movies . . . .
@@terrylandess6072that's not logic, that's stupidity on your part. Really sick and tired of this bs lie people keep spreading. Remember the end of Predator 2: they didn't kill Glover, they collected their fallen hunter, and gave Glover a reward for his victory. The ships at the end of Prey went there to collect their fallen hunter and tech, and gave Naru a reward for her victory. A common practice of Native American tribes was to give a gift in return for a gift. What better gift than the weapon that helped secure her victory, the pistol?
@@surlycanadian > The line drawings during the credits show three Yautja ships descending on the village. Draw your own conclusions.
Great movie, and amazing addition to the Predator series. The idea of just planting a Predator into a completely different setting worked out so well, with less advanced technology, and a Predator that is new and basically on his own initiation hunt just as Naru is. Naru earns the kill with smarts, just as Arnold does in the first movie. Fantastic film.
It's implied that this is (one of, if not the) first time Yautja (Predators) visit earth. He's killing random animals partially to collect trophy data, and partially to find his way up to the planet's actual apex lifeform, humans.
I think the running time is a significant contributor to the enjoyment of PREY. Nothing wrong with a tight running time.
16:20
Remember the first movie, when Billy tossed is rifle and used his knife to cut across his chest, from left shoulder to right waist. Sorta like the way the trapper cut Naru's brother.
Oh Mary i am so thankful for the video playback in the corner being less transparent on this upload!! Thank you for that makes it so much easier to watch with you
Predator 1 and Prey "if it bleeds we can kill it"
The internet is petitioning to have another one made that takes place in feudal Japan. Predator vs. Samurai.
Honestly I was so happy when I first saw this movie, it’s not perfect but it’s by far the best predator film we’ve had since predator 2 and it came when I had lost hope in the franchise.
I first became aware of Amber Midthunder on the FX show Legion as the mutant Kerry Loudermilk.
THAT'S where I saw her! I knew I recognized her, but I couldn't figure out from what. She also had a really funny guest role in S2 of "Reservation Dogs", where she played a hippie motivational speaker.
She has a bit part in "Hell Or High Water" too.
I'm not a regular hunter, but have friends that bowhunt and have made me deer filets before and good gravy is that good eating. It's hard to describe but it's so satisfying and feels enriching with every bite. It's something I'm glad I have the option for in my diet
did someone ever explain why the cloaking device didn't malfunction when fighting the bear in the river?
especially considering that tech from 200 years later malfunctions when he walks through a puddle
Mary, you have a great Halloween idea now :)
A thing to query is . . . - I think she actually either killed the lion with her lance or mortally wounded it . . . as I'm sure it would have attacked her on the ground after she fell and went unconscious with then being an easy victim - or meal for it . . . (even lions wouldn't pass up an easy meal or a kill like that!) - So, I think her brother either had an easy kill or a free kill when he reached her - so had enough time to take her home then go back to the dead lion - or killed it off before he took her home and came back to claim it as his own kill . . . (Perhaps his own masculine pride got in the way of allowing his sister to become a War Chief to the tribe before him? - (You saw how the other guy, the one who demeaned her and fought with her felt when her actual brother got it - so just imagine if she got it and he had to follow her orders after it? lol)
Strange info: - I'm sure I read about this somewhere or other decades ago: But you asked why would she even want to become a hunter? What I remember about what I read then from some western style history book - was that some (a few) men who did not want to become warriors could be allowed to do menial tasks instead, like the women did . . . Just as some women (a few) did not wish to do menial work and wanted to hunt like the men, etc, instead - so a role-reversal was allowed even back in those days, or perhaps even earlier back in time, too . . . ?
You are the only reactor out there who features a "stress o' meter". (Although there is one who displays her heart rate for horror film reactions)
This is my favorite of the Predator movies. IMO this girl was more badass than Arnie in the first one.
1, I'm disappointed that you couldn't bring yourself to see Naru as the hero of the story. Or capable of taking down the Predator. Smaller/ Faster/ SMARTER fighters take out more powerful fighters more than you'd expect. See Crawford v. Spence or Vietnam v. USA.
2, You missed Naru's biggest advantage. It wasn't a "Wild Guess", In all of her encounters with the Predator she was learning about it's strengths and WEAKNESS'. The Orange flower effect was seen by Naru twice before she tried it, and then did an experiment with the French Tracker before she put herself in Danger. Her "Superpower" was adaptability. To make that work she had to be constantly updating her working knowledge of the Predators capabilities.
This easily the best Predator movie. That being said, It wouldn't exist without the movies that came before.
Exactly.
Never thought our terrain as jungle lol
29:45. Remember Arnold comes to the same conclusion after observing a predator fail to see its target, so it’s not the first time we’ve seen a human with zero knowledge of the predators pick up on that after ten seconds of observation.
Really, it’s more difficult to believe Dutch figured out the thermal vision thing because at the same time he was also well camouflaged in our visual spectrum by the mud and was completely still with his arms hooked around large tree roots. Would have been more likely to assume they just have shitty vision when it’s looking at a monochromatic view and everything is the same colour like in a mud pit. Also as it’s coming out of the water it’s tech is shorting out, so could have been the reason it couldn’t see him ect.
Such an underrated movie! Deserved way more views and praise. My 3rd fave in the entire franchise, maybe even 2nd!
the 2nd movie is better, because the characters are better written, in this movie, the only ones you remember are Naru and Taabe, and the secondary cast is very forgettable
This is my fave Predator movie. There was more of a character growth with our main char, Naru. And, as a Canadian Indigenous man, it's awesome to see our people represented.
Amber Midthunder was on a Comic-Con panel that passed through my city recently; If i could've met her, I would've told her how much her performance in this movie meant to me.
As usual, love your reactions!
One aspect of this movie, my now favorite in the Predator series (Edging out the first one by a bit), is that there's still some mysteries here. The Frenchmen seem to be here clearly to hunt the Predator, how did they know he was in the region? Raphael does not appear to be traveling with them willingly, and also knows more about the Predator than he says. They burned down a small copse of forest to create ash, which disrupts it's cloaking device. (Funny how THIS Predator's cloak is not impacted by water.) There was a Dark Horse comic series featuring Raphael as a pirate who encounters the Predator, it feels like they are throwing out some strings they could potentially tug on later.
Actualy it was not the Predator that skinned those buffalos but those French men Mary
The dog in this movie was a rescue and it's her first movie, the only problem they had was she was so excited to be filming, they actually had to digitally cover her tail because she was always wagging it lol (but that's common for alot of dogs not just her lol)
I love that they came full circle with the flintlock pistol.
She won't be in the next movie.
That sinking mud scene for some reason reminded me of the scene from the Never ending story.
The dog in this movie is part Carolina Dog. Also called the American Dingo, Carolina Dogs have been in North America for thousands of years and there is evidence of them coming across the land bridge with the original Native Americans who settled the continent. I thought it was a nice touch that they used a dog that tribes back then would have actually had. I had one of those dogs and they are GREAT but oh so mischievous.
Fun fact, the gun that the trapper gave her is the same gun that the Predator gave to Danny Glover in Predator 2.
Hey Mary, glad u liked it...its cool she used her smarts, every skill and what she learned killed the Predator...so good...U should watch Predators 2010 with Adrien Brody and Topher Grace..its so good..
Great reaction as always Mary. For me this is right up there with the original - loved the film especially the Comanche version
her brother at the beginning of the movie said - i wet my bow string,,, she didnt listen. When ahe faces the bear, same situation. String brakes
I'm not generally a fan of action or horror, but movies like this and Hereditary prove that any genre can be incredible
I'm happy the dog is still alive I love dogs so much I actually want one so bad Mary🐶🐶🐕🐕.
Always love a good Predator movie, and this one didn't dissapoint! Next, I wanna see the predator finding himself in a Toon universe where every time he kills some prey, they just shake it off! Note: this one was in a forest, not a jungle.
Some details fyi; the Predator didn't kill the buffalo. The Frenchmen did. They poached them for their furs.
There was no subtitles for everything said in French because we were watching the film from Naru's perspective.
When Tabe was fighting one on one and the Predator went invisible, Tabe screamed something like That's cheating in Comanche.
In many indigenous cultures, whistling at night summons bad spirits. Which is what Naru did when she got her revenge on the French guy.
This was the first hunt for Naru and the Predator, they both had to prove themselves. But Naru consistently showed she was more cunning.
The celebration by her community and being given the staff looking thing was them crowning a new war chief.
I too loved that dog❤ she's on my top list of dogs in films like Milo from the Mask 😊great reaction...
I would definitely rank this as third best in the Predator franchise after Predator 2.
loving your film reactions 🤓🙌. much respect Birmingham UK 🇬🇧.
I like this one a lot better than 2
This one is amazing a long with the original I highly recommend reacting to predators 2010 it’s really good dark, gritty, amazing costume designs, some light comedy, and the best kill in the entire franchise
I understood this as the first visit by the Predator to Earth and its discovering the most dominant hunters. You can see the escalation from snake to wolf to bear to human. Subsequent visits to Earth they focus on humans.
Fun fact: The dog in this movie they got from a dog shelter. It wasn't a professional trained Hollywood dog or anything.
Oh, this wasn't the jungle, it was the great plains in the US.

The pistol Nauru got from the italian guy is the one that the elder predator gifts to Harrigan(Danny Glover) in Predator 2.
How they come to possess it is not known yet. While we see a fleet of ships descending upon the comanche in the end credits, it's not yet known what happens.
Either A: Naaru's village are all exterminated to maintain the predators' existence a secret.
Or B: she gifts the pistol to their elder as a sign of peace, and she gains their respect.
Remember the end of Predator 2: they didn't kill Glover, they collected their fallen hunter, and gave Glover a reward for his victory. The ships at the end of Prey went there to collect their fallen hunter and tech, and gave Naru a reward for her victory. A common practice of Native American tribes was to give a gift in return for a gift. What better gift than the weapon that helped secure her victory, the pistol?

This was such a nice surprise to have a new Predator movie that was new and actually very good.
