07:40 No... In the Predator comic about Raphael and Greyback (The Predator Clan leader). This was about his hunt on earth and He didn't kill Raphael. Raphael didn't think it was right to steal from the church and wanted to return the treasure back to them but then his crew rebelled against him. He and the Predator fought together against his old crew and when they thought all of them were killed they were about to duel but not before one of his crew members that was hiding shot Raphael in the back. Greyback kills the pirate before he could escape and Raphael in his dying breath said "Take it" while he gave Greyback his pistol. Greyback in turn gave him his sword and said "Take it" then left the planet. Eventually Greyback became the Clan Leader being one of the few Predators know to have a successful hunt on earth
Fun fact the predators tribe and I'm assuming gray back and his tribe show up in a lether tapestry in the end credits thay show up after and I'm guessing kill Naru and take the gun

@@Mitsoxfan I likely would have missed it too as the animation was just summarizing the movie so I looked away. When the music changed, I looked and saw the ships so rewound and watched the entire animated portion.

As the credits begin to wrap up, the animation shows Naru presenting the head to the tribe. Suddenly the sky goes dark as the "Thunderbird" has returned. It is probably a safe assumption that the Predator family for the dead Hunter returns, slaughters the tribe, and takes the pistol as a trophy.
Looks like this was the smaller breed of the Predators too. He looked slightly taller than the brother. . Which do hunt in packs of 3 (according to Laurence Fishburne). The larger breed predator travels and hunts alone and which towered over Arnold! I would think this was the first time on earth, or at least for these predators. So they split up to see where the good hunting was. They probably returned and saw this little girl with their buddies head in her hands and freaked.

Keep sharing, reviewing, and rating and talking about sequels so we can get more to this story and eventually work up to more deadly predators. Let’s go for the ride and see how they follow up. Good movie with Prey! Now let’s keep it going guys
@@techniqueswithtodd I meant like elite or elder predators. The only time we e seen an elite predator was avpr and that Kinda sucked but wolf didn’t. Super predators were just big to be honest.
The animation at the end of the film showed the Aliens returning to the Native American camp to retrieve their dead. So many of you “deep dive” channels have missed that detail and its mind boggling.
@@NukeMarine Agreed. I feel like this is pretty obvious to anyone who understands the predator films and understands the Yautja culture. Predator 1 and 2 show that the Yautja don't leave their dead bodies behind for evidence but instead detonate a bomb to cover their tracks. Predator 2 shows that if you kill a predator you get a prize for your achievement. AVP even shows this. Ships came back, took the severed head from the tribe, gave Naru a token of respect and she did the same, i.e. the pistol.
What happened at the end was, my joy for the movie finally ending. Lol CGI lioness was sooo fake. CGI Kunai with Chain was kinda pointless. CGI bear scene sucked, Predator saved her. She almost gets her dog killed MULTIPLE times. She has no apparent skillset, until she conjures some up to kill dudes attacking her like she all of a sudden became a Veteran UFC fighter. Predator keeps letting her live for plot fight at end. "Smarter than a Beaver" Line was terrible.
What happened? THE WRITING FELL APART!!! What crap. The dog just happens to show up at the exact right moment, with the girls weapon in it's mouth, then the predator just happens to fall in just the right place, and the laser just happens to line up exactly on it's head, etc. etc. lame.
No one saw the post credit "scene"? It was an illustration of the final live action scene when they celebrated her successful hunt, but then stick figures look to the right and we see some space ships appear from the skies. They could have taken back the body of the captured Predator and maybe also gotten the pistol back - somehow
This was my thought exactly. The credits scene shows the ships coming in theory to retrieve the body and give a prize. Same as predator 2 and Aliens vs Predator.
@@nubiancaynes2128 They were likely coming to finish off the rest of the tribes people. 😞😞 That does not seem at all honorable to me. They should reward the tribes people for fighting well but instead they are coming to slaughter them all for fun. 😞😞
Yup, that's how I read it. Unfortunately for humans, Naru has forever marked us as "worthy prey", and this feeds into the whole Predator franchise. It's a smart call on the filmakers part.
@@lindsaybruce1396 this is what I was coming to post. Those ships meaning multiple Yautja may have landed and shown respect to Naru but also knew that there’d be more worthy opponents like her to hone their hunting skills against.
This movie was by far the best predator movie since P2. As for how the Predator Elder gets the gun. For me only makes since that they come to claim the juveniles body for ritual burial. As they almost always do if the predator doesn't sacrifice itself. And in doing so something happens that causes it to aquire it.
@@angelbast3rd133 You can like what you like. Predators had a LOT of holes in it. If the predators could just transport people/alien species to a game hunting preserve, WHY then did they fly to the planets TO hunt? If they were looking for the baddest of the bad, why pick a doctor serial killer that used toxins? How does that stack up to a BA soldier when there are literally thousands of people that murder other people? But sure... you do you.
@@mgass1354 you're claiming a hunting preserve is far fetched? Lmfao wow. Alien abducting isn't in the least bizarre from a far superior race of aliens.
My problem with this movie was that is was predictable and I never felt like Naru was ever in danger I never felt like she was going to die or anything and the film didn’t have deep connections with any other character so when they were killed it didn’t really bring emotion out of me. And throughout the entire movie Naru doesn’t change at all
This is 99% of movies man. You know the main character isn't going to die and will probably succeed in the end. I agree the character development wasn't really there but I appreciated that they skipped straight to the action, spending very little time bullshitting and getting straight to the gore. That left no space for meaningless development for characters who will die and never be relevant again. And while I don't think Naru changed very much in my eyes the beauty of her character was being very observant to every technique Predator uses and eventually using them all against him. I mean the mask, the laser guided arrows, the tree jumping, the shield, Predator vision was all taken into consideration in her counter attack. She was the prey and became the predator, fulfilling her goal of becoming an official hunter within her tribe. This is a stark contrast to how scared she was fighting the lion in the beginning of the movie. I think she learned a respect for predators (lions, bears, aliens) that she didn't have before as an "unblooded" girl trying to become a hunter.
As for the pistol. It is entirely possible that the Translator Raphael is from the doomed pirate ship and before leaving was given one of the Captain's pistols, coincidentally having the same first name. Or even having the same last name and different first names, maybe brothers. This would make more sense since Raphael is well traveled and ended up with the French from the pirate ship. It might be that there were in fact two pistols made for Raphael by the Captain of the ship before he departed. A fitting present for a Captain to give his brother, and valued crew member, upon leaving to seek his own fortune with a group of French. Raphael could have left one the Pistols with the captain, his brother, as a parting gift also. Even more poetic might be that they were twin brothers to mirror the twin pistols made. A great dialogue between them might be..... Captain: "Take these." [gives Raphael two pistols] you name is on them so those trappers can't steal one and claim ownership. Raphael: "Brother, a wonderful parting gift. But, you keep one. Know that I will be with you on your journeys, there, also to protect you." [the twin brothers hug] The twin pistols part ways along with the men that carry them not knowing they will share the same fate, as sometimes twins do....
In the movies the pistol is engraved with Raphael Adolini, but in the comic book it is Raphael Andolini. Is it the same pistol or could it be a different pistol?
I think it was pretty self explanatory 🤣🤣 she was welcomed by her tribe as new war chief after killing it, and she warns her tribe of impending doom from the European invaders
Yeah... it shows them pointing up at what's clearly 2 or 3 predator ships descending right after she's named war chief. She and the predator were having their traditional test. Predator failed.
When I first heard that Prey was not going to be released on dvd/Blu-ray I was so disappointed. I love the franchise and to not have this movie on my shelf was aggravating. When I heard about the release I was so stoked, and upon finally being able to watch the movie it was awesome! This is a great movie!! If the do another installment in this era, I hope they still use all the cast (that they can), directors, etc. etc.
The most likely answer to your question in 7:13 of the video, is at the end credits there is a illustration that shortly after Naru went back to her tribe with the head of the predator, 3-4 predator ships appears in the sky suggesting that other predators need to claim the body of the fallen predator like in other predator movies. I don't believe it was portrayed what happened next but either way they ended up holding the gun until it was given to Danny Glover.
The predator was so stupid he didn’t understand how his own tech worked twice in the movie he used his guidance laser twice and the spears didn’t go where he was aiming and he still continue to shoot that was stupid!
Yeah that was the one thing that bothered me so much. Like when he helmet is not on his head and he still tried to shoot those futuristic arrows, like why would he do that if he clearly knows he isn't wearing his helmet and thus cannot control the arrows, why the hell would he shoot those things!!! He basically died to his own Helmet and weapon which you would think he should know "oh I don't have my helmet on so I better not fire these things because I can't control where they will go " but nope he just tries it anyway and kills himself in the process. In an otherwise really enjoyable movie, that was really really dunb
What are you talking about? It know how its tech works, what it didn't know was that its helmet was in the area she had laid out. Bout time it knew where it's helm was, it was already too late. If the helm wasn't in his area and didn't have a target to lock on to, the arrow would have gone through her. She got the upper hand by having prep time.
@@darryljack6612 bro but your missing the point, why would he shoot the arrows if he wasn't wearing his helmet regardless??? It doesnt make sense. They demonstrate in the movie that his arrows are locked into whatever his helmet targets. So if he wasn't wearing his helmet, those projectile arrows would have been useless and impossible to predict where they will go so why would he use those it makes no sense? He died because she set the helmet up to perfectly lock onto his head, but ask yourself again, why the hell would he try to shoot her with that weapon if HE DIDNT HAVE HIS HELMET ON. Those arrows are tied to the helmet tracking lock on without it he should have never fired them it's what got himself killed
@@gensteps923 I just said why, because he didnt know the helmet was near. If the helmet doesnt have something to lock on to with its guided laser sights, then the spears just fire as normal from the weapon. He didnt know she had placed it in their area and with it locked on him. If she didnt do this then it would have fired like any other type of gun to its point of aim.
One flaw A stone age person would not know the connections between the tech weapons and causations Film puts a modern perspective into the reactions and logic of a person to whom the predators tech would just be magic Deducing the helmet guided the weapons would be beyond her understanding
End credits show three space ships return to earth. That’s most-likely how they get the pistol back. (An assumption, but you gotta acknowledge the end credits visuals).
I believe the implications here is that the predators either came back for her and massacre the entire tribe and took the gun or the colonizers killed of the entire tribe and one of them took Rafael's gun, and later the events of the comic still happened but is not Rafael is just some other random pirate with Rafael's gun 🤔
thats not what they do if anything they would of gifted her a weapon or something as a show that she is a great hunter! then took the body of the fallen predator and she likely gave them the pistol in return.
What if Naru joined the predators? Went on a couple hunts then died leaving the gun to one of her companions, which then over time became elder then the events of predator 2 happen in which that elder knew about the last human hunter that defeated one of his kind in a hunt. So the elder gifts him the pistol.
The Predator doesn't kill the whole crew. Adolini kills some of them himself, and then Adolini is killed by the last surviving member of the crew, who is then killed by the Predator
I was extremely worried when i heard the plot of the movie, when it was set and who the main character would be . I admit I was skeptical because of the new direction most movies these, especially those with a "girl power" theme , so I was expecting another piece of "woke garbage" to put the final nail in the coffin of the Predator franchise. But holy shit was I wrong, the writers and directors of this movie gave it completely new life and I am in love with this film as it brought back the old feelings of the original predator . Also Naru was so well done along with her brother. Naru in my opinion is the "Ripley" of the Predator universe in which she is simply an ultimate survivor and understands her foes . She is an amazing character and was actually realistic in her methods . I was wondering how a 15 year old looking Indian girl would even dare match up against a Predator , and as the movie rolled on it was so well told and foreshadowed how, again in a totally realistic way in accordance to that franchise . I hope they do another with Naru and with that showing how the gun does end up back with the predator clan. There is after all a human female who was indeed taken in by the Yautja down the line, but for fun that doesnt mean Naru cant possibly take that path in another installment . Im just excited after the crap we have been given since Predator 2 .
I personally think the gun will be used by predators to make the plasma cannon as like a foundational base . In AVP the plasma guns resemble the pistol.
The Yautja probably went to her tribe to retrieve the head of their fallen predator. Upon arrival the Yautja gave her a weapon for fighting so valiantly and she then gave the Yautja leader the pistol. Fast forward to the future and the same Yautja that recieve pistol from naru gave the pistol to Lt. Mike out of respect.
The pistol always had me thinking, I really don't think they would past down that trophy. But the question is how did they get it back to give it to the cop. They have never made any mention on time travel so does that mean they live a really long time? Good movie all the same and love the tie in to the other movie time lines.
The end credits show drawings of the movie and at the end it shows a drawing of several predator ships flying in after the scene where the movie ends.that would suggest they wiped out the tribe and thats how they got the gun.
Shit, mighta wiped out the whole damned species if Feral managed to get it back on the ship. Imagine THAT story arc - Feral kills Comanche brave, takes pistol and blanket as trophies, returns to home world a proven hunter, starts coughing while receiving honors from elders. Roll credits.
Honestly in my opinion they should have made a predator movie during the time before Humanity had created rifles and guns, like probably during the Dark Ages and medieval error, now that probably would have been more realistic but it would had been unfair to the humans, because they would be at a huge disadvantage when standing Toe to Toe against the Predator, no matter how an experience he is either in technology and/or weaponry.
Crazy, the brother was really squabbling with the predator which makes him probably the first human in that universe to throw down for a bit with the predator
The opening lines to the film were about a MONSTER coming to THE LAND a Long Long Time Ago. I'd bet money that if you were to ask any Commanche descendant, they wouldn't say it was a Yautja.
Naru is a re-imagining of the character Machiko Noguchi. I am betting she will get blooded and go hunting with them. The story supports this because all Naru wants is to be part of the hunt and respected among her peers. She has a new set of peers now.
As commented here before, the end credits show a sneak peak where the story might go or at least shows how they got the gun from Raphael back. Little bit like Predator 2 where the other hunters from his tribe come and pick up the body and maybe exchange the gun for something else as a token of respect or who knows they come back to finish the job in the newest predator movie.
The end where theres paintings of what happened, the last frame showed the predator ship appearing in front of the village with Naru, maybe the Yaucha massacred the village and took the gun
I was quite surprised that an Easter egg channel missed the Thunderbirds returning in the early credits. I quickly took that to mean they came back for the head and I would also assume they were given the pistol as a trophy by Naru. She wouldn’t have needed it anymore, I mean it never worked for her and she didn’t have anymore gunpowder.
In the movies the pistol is engraved with Raphael Adolini, but in the comic book it is Raphael Andolini. Is it the same pistol or could it be a different pistol?
I really don't see the big hype of this movie it was to simple and predictable normal hunt die and then the end idk but imo it's not that interesting but I definitely believe it's a solid good simple predator movie to watch but not nothing over the top
How could she have known that his head would be in that exact spot and that he would fire off his dart thingys at that exact moment?? And also on top of that she mustve been relying on him not understanding the capabilities of his own weaponry lol
Because Naru got stuck in that exact same location herself earlier in the movie? The whole movie points out how early weaponry in general was very unreliable. I'm willing to bet that's why the pred killed with blades most of the time
It was stupid, would you fire the shot if you didn’t see where the target system was aiming? Are we really supposed to believe this predator is that dumb?
I'm looking forward to seeing this movie. I loved 'Predators' but like this film, its not getting the chances it deserves but that is why I stopped listening to the 'professional Critiques'. IF they don't give a movie a good review that makes me want to see it but IF they proclaim it to be a 'revelation' then I will wait for the 'revelation' when it can be rented on Amazon Prime.
It’s pretty amazing what this streaming only film has done for the excitement of the franchise, and how it has with three simple scenes (the trapper giving the pistol, the girl giving the pistol and the last animation) has retconned the franchise and tied together and validated Predator 2 with this prequel.
I think the clue how they get the gun is hidden in the beginning of end credits. During end credits when they showing sequence of "wall paintings" that showed everything what happened in the movie - everything except one thing. Last painting shows that after Naru becomes War Chief they spotted more Predator ships on the sky, so perhaps the chief of the tribe gave the predators a pistol as a sign of respect when they came to retrieve the body of their fallen warrior? But that just my theory, and sorry for bad english.
the part that confused me was the homing arrow at the end, did the predator shoot it at eva and she impaled it so that it could home around and kill the predator or did he just miss point blank? she even gasped after he shot like it went through her but then had no injuries following. I know that it needs the helmet to be fired straight but it still had momentum implying it went straight through her initially before circling back
She set up his helmet with the tracking beams to point at his own forehead but since she doesn’t know how the tech work it was more of a gamble so it was a sigh of relief that it worked
She measures the predators height earlier on, by measuring its foot length. She used this to adjust the helmet in place to aim at his head and fought, tripped and lured him into the trap. While making herself hard to hit in melee, tricking the predator into using his spike launcher, he didn’t realize she had the helmet and so their homing activated and rapidly diverted path to the target (the predaters head). She basically tricked it into killing itself because she couldn’t overpower it normally. Finally a female character that had to learn and adapt to win. Instead of just being an unstoppable badass. I loved this movie.
Remember guys, this is there B team to the Predator JV team. It's not an L, but it really ain't a win for humanity. That may also be a theme of this series we must not forget. Something out there is stronger and smarter. I would assume.
Well, if you go too far into the future for the setting of these movies. You run the risk of trying to think up and create futuristic weapons, that aren't so one-sided. Meaning, it would be too advanced and it would all be automated technology that really wouldn't require a lot of hunting skills. Like how guns are too easy to use and don't require a whole lot of skill to kill someone. If anything, it's too easy to kill someone now. The step back in time makes more sense with these movies bc the arsenals require skillful use and is more suitable for an exciting hunt. However, that does only apply to the human species. When fighting other aliens on different planets, I'm sure (or they should) be using different weapons
What did you think of the ending?
The ending just didn't work for me. It left too many holes from a logical standpoint.
First, by bringing back the head, it removed the myth into fact... a fact passed down, with evidence and yet, nobody in later era's even knew about predators? It would have made more sense for the predator to have fallen back into the mud pit and be swallowed up, no evidence.

@@NukeMarine Agreed. I feel like this is pretty obvious to anyone who understands the predator films and understands the Yautja culture. Predator 1 and 2 show that the Yautja don't leave their dead bodies behind for evidence but instead detonate a bomb to cover their tracks. Predator 2 shows that if you kill a predator you get a prize for your achievement. AVP even shows this. Ships came back, took the severed head from the tribe, gave Naru a token of respect and she did the same, i.e. the pistol.
Thank you, I came to the comment section looking for this.
What happened at the end was, my joy for the movie finally ending. Lol
CGI lioness was sooo fake. CGI Kunai with Chain was kinda pointless. CGI bear scene sucked, Predator saved her. She almost gets her dog killed MULTIPLE times. She has no apparent skillset, until she conjures some up to kill dudes attacking her like she all of a sudden became a Veteran UFC fighter. Predator keeps letting her live for plot fight at end. "Smarter than a Beaver" Line was terrible.
What happened? THE WRITING FELL APART!!! What crap. The dog just happens to show up at the exact right moment, with the girls weapon in it's mouth, then the predator just happens to fall in just the right place, and the laser just happens to line up exactly on it's head, etc. etc. lame.
No one saw the post credit "scene"? It was an illustration of the final live action scene when they celebrated her successful hunt, but then stick figures look to the right and we see some space ships appear from the skies. They could have taken back the body of the captured Predator and maybe also gotten the pistol back - somehow
Yeah assumed they were coming for a "good game" meeting. like Predator 2
This was my thought exactly. The credits scene shows the ships coming in theory to retrieve the body and give a prize. Same as predator 2 and Aliens vs Predator.
@@nubiancaynes2128 They were likely coming to finish off the rest of the tribes people. 😞😞 That does not seem at all honorable to me. They should reward the tribes people for fighting well but instead they are coming to slaughter them all for fun. 😞😞
Yup, that's how I read it. Unfortunately for humans, Naru has forever marked us as "worthy prey", and this feeds into the whole Predator franchise. It's a smart call on the filmakers part.
@@lindsaybruce1396 this is what I was coming to post. Those ships meaning multiple Yautja may have landed and shown respect to Naru but also knew that there’d be more worthy opponents like her to hone their hunting skills against.
Her warrior yell at the end had so much emotion
Huge fan of 1 and 2, I really enjoyed PREY like you said it brings the franchise back some honor.
Hopefully they keep the same wave going and keep it authentic, instead of the route they took of going too Hollywood
This movie was by far the best predator movie since P2. As for how the Predator Elder gets the gun. For me only makes since that they come to claim the juveniles body for ritual burial. As they almost always do if the predator doesn't sacrifice itself. And in doing so something happens that causes it to aquire it.
Really you didn't think predators was better? This just didn't have enough lore or storyline to make much of a difference in the pred universe for me
@@williamfowler4047
Predators? No. I, at least, didn't think that one was better. That movie brought even more holes than Prey (which had few).
@@mgass1354 predators is far better than this Prey trash. 20 fold
@@angelbast3rd133
You can like what you like.
Predators had a LOT of holes in it.
If the predators could just transport people/alien species to a game hunting preserve, WHY then did they fly to the planets TO hunt?
If they were looking for the baddest of the bad, why pick a doctor serial killer that used toxins? How does that stack up to a BA soldier when there are literally thousands of people that murder other people?
But sure... you do you.
@@mgass1354 you're claiming a hunting preserve is far fetched? Lmfao wow. Alien abducting isn't in the least bizarre from a far superior race of aliens.
Wish it was in the theater. Would of been badass
My problem with this movie was that is was predictable and I never felt like Naru was ever in danger I never felt like she was going to die or anything and the film didn’t have deep connections with any other character so when they were killed it didn’t really bring emotion out of me. And throughout the entire movie Naru doesn’t change at all
This is 99% of movies man. You know the main character isn't going to die and will probably succeed in the end. I agree the character development wasn't really there but I appreciated that they skipped straight to the action, spending very little time bullshitting and getting straight to the gore. That left no space for meaningless development for characters who will die and never be relevant again. And while I don't think Naru changed very much in my eyes the beauty of her character was being very observant to every technique Predator uses and eventually using them all against him. I mean the mask, the laser guided arrows, the tree jumping, the shield, Predator vision was all taken into consideration in her counter attack. She was the prey and became the predator, fulfilling her goal of becoming an official hunter within her tribe. This is a stark contrast to how scared she was fighting the lion in the beginning of the movie. I think she learned a respect for predators (lions, bears, aliens) that she didn't have before as an "unblooded" girl trying to become a hunter.
I am Predator. I can lift a 600-800 lbs bear.
But when I hit a little girl, I can't kill her, break her bones, or even leave a bruise...lol
As for the pistol. It is entirely possible that the Translator Raphael is from the doomed pirate ship and before leaving was given one of the Captain's pistols, coincidentally having the same first name. Or even having the same last name and different first names, maybe brothers. This would make more sense since Raphael is well traveled and ended up with the French from the pirate ship. It might be that there were in fact two pistols made for Raphael by the Captain of the ship before he departed. A fitting present for a Captain to give his brother, and valued crew member, upon leaving to seek his own fortune with a group of French. Raphael could have left one the Pistols with the captain, his brother, as a parting gift also. Even more poetic might be that they were twin brothers to mirror the twin pistols made. A great dialogue between them might be.....
Captain: "Take these." [gives Raphael two pistols] you name is on them so those trappers can't steal one and claim ownership.
Raphael: "Brother, a wonderful parting gift. But, you keep one. Know that I will be with you on your journeys, there, also to protect you." [the twin brothers hug]
The twin pistols part ways along with the men that carry them not knowing they will share the same fate, as sometimes twins do....
In the movies the pistol is engraved with Raphael Adolini, but in the comic book it is Raphael Andolini. Is it the same pistol or could it be a different pistol?
I want you to make this script happen! That would be a great idea!
Maybe twin brother 🤔
I think it was pretty self explanatory 🤣🤣 she was welcomed by her tribe as new war chief after killing it, and she warns her tribe of impending doom from the European invaders
Unless they’re referring to the cave drawing animation of the predator ships coming down then yeah
Yeah... it shows them pointing up at what's clearly 2 or 3 predator ships descending right after she's named war chief. She and the predator were having their traditional test. Predator failed.
French lost to the Comanche
End credit scene shows the alien ships arrivng again. Can't wait for part 2
8:41 This is the first time. For. MEEE. In. The Marvel. Universe.
A wonderful and heartwarming movie about the lofty adventures of a young girl and her dog! 🐶
The best sequel of predator ever.
Another couple years and looper will FINALLY understand the predator franchise
Loved this movie, Mann!!
I would love to see just more of Naru herself regardless of the predator.
😒 pander harder bud
@@joeblow5658 what are you even talking about? I personally thought she was a cool character that's all I was saying.
This should have been released in theatres that too in 3D 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
When I first heard that Prey was not going to be released on dvd/Blu-ray I was so disappointed. I love the franchise and to not have this movie on my shelf was aggravating.
When I heard about the release I was so stoked, and upon finally being able to watch the movie it was awesome! This is a great movie!! If the do another installment in this era, I hope they still use all the cast (that they can), directors, etc. etc.
Great movie…Glad they finally made another good 1☮️
The most likely answer to your question in 7:13 of the video, is at the end credits there is a illustration that shortly after Naru went back to her tribe with the head of the predator, 3-4 predator ships appears in the sky suggesting that other predators need to claim the body of the fallen predator like in other predator movies. I don't believe it was portrayed what happened next but either way they ended up holding the gun until it was given to Danny Glover.
Flintlocks don't "jam." It was most likely either wet powder or all the powder fell out of the pan.
The predator was so stupid he didn’t understand how his own tech worked twice in the movie he used his guidance laser twice and the spears didn’t go where he was aiming and he still continue to shoot that was stupid!
Yeah that was the one thing that bothered me so much. Like when he helmet is not on his head and he still tried to shoot those futuristic arrows, like why would he do that if he clearly knows he isn't wearing his helmet and thus cannot control the arrows, why the hell would he shoot those things!!! He basically died to his own Helmet and weapon which you would think he should know "oh I don't have my helmet on so I better not fire these things because I can't control where they will go " but nope he just tries it anyway and kills himself in the process. In an otherwise really enjoyable movie, that was really really dunb
What are you talking about? It know how its tech works, what it didn't know was that its helmet was in the area she had laid out. Bout time it knew where it's helm was, it was already too late.
If the helm wasn't in his area and didn't have a target to lock on to, the arrow would have gone through her. She got the upper hand by having prep time.
@@darryljack6612 bro but your missing the point, why would he shoot the arrows if he wasn't wearing his helmet regardless??? It doesnt make sense. They demonstrate in the movie that his arrows are locked into whatever his helmet targets. So if he wasn't wearing his helmet, those projectile arrows would have been useless and impossible to predict where they will go so why would he use those it makes no sense? He died because she set the helmet up to perfectly lock onto his head, but ask yourself again, why the hell would he try to shoot her with that weapon if HE DIDNT HAVE HIS HELMET ON. Those arrows are tied to the helmet tracking lock on without it he should have never fired them it's what got himself killed
@@gensteps923 I just said why, because he didnt know the helmet was near. If the helmet doesnt have something to lock on to with its guided laser sights, then the spears just fire as normal from the weapon. He didnt know she had placed it in their area and with it locked on him.
If she didnt do this then it would have fired like any other type of gun to its point of aim.
One flaw
A stone age person would not know the connections between the tech weapons and causations
Film puts a modern perspective into the reactions and logic of a person to whom the predators tech would just be magic
Deducing the helmet guided the weapons would be beyond her understanding
She is a girl and very very smart.
End credits show three space ships return to earth. That’s most-likely how they get the pistol back. (An assumption, but you gotta acknowledge the end credits visuals).
Right I believe they didn’t survive that second wave because that was the same gun on predator 2
@@jed3443 going to be a good squeal than
BEST PREDITOR MOIVIE SENSE THE 1980'S ! i love it
I believe the implications here is that the predators either came back for her and massacre the entire tribe and took the gun or the colonizers killed of the entire tribe and one of them took Rafael's gun, and later the events of the comic still happened but is not Rafael is just some other random pirate with Rafael's gun 🤔
No predator always bring there fellow predator dead body back. They might go to the village and offer to trade with her for the body and gun
Watch the predator 2, the end at least.
thats not what they do if anything they would of gifted her a weapon or something as a show that she is a great hunter! then took the body of the fallen predator and she likely gave them the pistol in return.
And this movie is set in 1719 and the comic was set in 1718 the year prior so the timeline wouldn’t allow it.
What if Naru joined the predators? Went on a couple hunts then died leaving the gun to one of her companions, which then over time became elder then the events of predator 2 happen in which that elder knew about the last human hunter that defeated one of his kind in a hunt. So the elder gifts him the pistol.
I love the character design of the predator
The Predator doesn't kill the whole crew. Adolini kills some of them himself, and then Adolini is killed by the last surviving member of the crew, who is then killed by the Predator
Really a spectacular movie, we fan of predator series missing this movie 🎥 theatrical experience
surprisingly good
I watched it and loved it
They did a great job not under using or over using the thermal camera for the Predator's vision.
This was a great movie. Thank you director for getting predator back on track.
I was extremely worried when i heard the plot of the movie, when it was set and who the main character would be . I admit I was skeptical because of the new direction most movies these, especially those with a "girl power" theme , so I was expecting another piece of "woke garbage" to put the final nail in the coffin of the Predator franchise. But holy shit was I wrong, the writers and directors of this movie gave it completely new life and I am in love with this film as it brought back the old feelings of the original predator . Also Naru was so well done along with her brother. Naru in my opinion is the "Ripley" of the Predator universe in which she is simply an ultimate survivor and understands her foes . She is an amazing character and was actually realistic in her methods . I was wondering how a 15 year old looking Indian girl would even dare match up against a Predator , and as the movie rolled on it was so well told and foreshadowed how, again in a totally realistic way in accordance to that franchise .
I hope they do another with Naru and with that showing how the gun does end up back with the predator clan. There is after all a human female who was indeed taken in by the Yautja down the line, but for fun that doesnt mean Naru cant possibly take that path in another installment . Im just excited after the crap we have been given since Predator 2 .
Bro this movie was trash she should've died when she faces the loin and the bear
The Prey movie was fantastic. I saw an Easter egg during the movie and it was a 10 out of 10 movie. There should be a series
The pistol that was shown at the end of the film. Is that the same pistol that was given to Danny Glover at the end of Predator 2?
One thing is for sure, this is one of the best predator movies so far.
LOL.. ya ok.
@@vmxg8052 what was better?
When the credits began to roll, it was seen that after the girl was named a worthy warrior, three predator spaceships arrived on the earth.
and thus a sequel will 100% be released in like 8 years...
I personally think the gun will be used by predators to make the plasma cannon as like a foundational base . In AVP the plasma guns resemble the pistol.
The Yautja probably went to her tribe to retrieve the head of their fallen predator. Upon arrival the Yautja gave her a weapon for fighting so valiantly and she then gave the Yautja leader the pistol. Fast forward to the future and the same Yautja that recieve pistol from naru gave the pistol to Lt. Mike out of respect.
I thought this exact same thing.
The pistol always had me thinking, I really don't think they would past down that trophy. But the question is how did they get it back to give it to the cop. They have never made any mention on time travel so does that mean they live a really long time? Good movie all the same and love the tie in to the other movie time lines.
The end credits show drawings of the movie and at the end it shows a drawing of several predator ships flying in after the scene where the movie ends.that would suggest they wiped out the tribe and thats how they got the gun.
If the predator had offered her a free blanket, he would've won
Aaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!👍
Shit, mighta wiped out the whole damned species if Feral managed to get it back on the ship. Imagine THAT story arc - Feral kills Comanche brave, takes pistol and blanket as trophies, returns to home world a proven hunter, starts coughing while receiving honors from elders. Roll credits.
Honestly in my opinion they should have made a predator movie during the time before Humanity had created rifles and guns, like probably during the Dark Ages and medieval error, now that probably would have been more realistic but it would had been unfair to the humans, because they would be at a huge disadvantage when standing Toe to Toe against the Predator, no matter how an experience he is either in technology and/or weaponry.
That’s actually been done already. It was a fan film tho
@@shotgun6125 I saw one of those fan-made movies, if I'm not mistaken the protagonists were Israel Templars and I forgot who the other guy is part of.
They could set the sequel in 10,000 bc
don't forget the score music the girl who did that was spot on & they married each track with each scene perfectly
Crazy, the brother was really squabbling with the predator which makes him probably the first human in that universe to throw down for a bit with the predator
Yeah he really used the predators much greater hight as an advantage and stayed low with rolled and ducks. While attacking at the same time.
Movie was ok but way over hyped. Made the Predator all incompetent at the end.
I would wonder how competent you would be after getting shot in the back of the head with a pistol.
Those Darn Laser Beams
The opening lines to the film were about a MONSTER coming to THE LAND a Long Long Time Ago. I'd bet money that if you were to ask any Commanche descendant, they wouldn't say it was a Yautja.
Naru is a re-imagining of the character Machiko Noguchi. I am betting she will get blooded and go hunting with them. The story supports this because all Naru wants is to be part of the hunt and respected among her peers. She has a new set of peers now.
I will be honest... "Pray" for me is the best predator movie till now second only by the first one.
As commented here before, the end credits show a sneak peak where the story might go or at least shows how they got the gun from Raphael back. Little bit like Predator 2 where the other hunters from his tribe come and pick up the body and maybe exchange the gun for something else as a token of respect or who knows they come back to finish the job in the newest predator movie.
Is it narus skull on the predator ship in predator 2 ????
Great movie, worth the watch
Good movie
7:16 in the credits it looks like two predator ships arrive in the drawings and I assume that is when the gun is retrieved (sequel)
What is the budget of the film?
I watched the animation and noticed it. There will definitely be another one.
Still awesome to watch at home but it would’ve been real amazing to see this in theaters
Great movie, Dan T of TRS fame did a great job! The lead actor also did one heck of a great job, as well!
I don't know why but I hate how they now have a name for the predators. It just sounds stupid.
The end where theres paintings of what happened, the last frame showed the predator ship appearing in front of the village with Naru, maybe the Yaucha massacred the village and took the gun
This is better than the originals.
I was quite surprised that an Easter egg channel missed the Thunderbirds returning in the early credits. I quickly took that to mean they came back for the head and I would also assume they were given the pistol as a trophy by Naru. She wouldn’t have needed it anymore, I mean it never worked for her and she didn’t have anymore gunpowder.
This was filmed in Alberta, Canada. Sick
In the movies the pistol is engraved with Raphael Adolini, but in the comic book it is Raphael Andolini. Is it the same pistol or could it be a different pistol?
The flintlock pistol is clearly there to set up a sequel.
great movie well done.. and it not going to box office is a huge surprise for the quality of the movie 🍿
At the end of prey the credits rolled
This movie wasn’t very good. The look of the predator was horrible. I haven’t seen a redesign this bad since Hellboy.
I really don't see the big hype of this movie it was to simple and predictable normal hunt die and then the end idk but imo it's not that interesting but I definitely believe it's a solid good simple predator movie to watch but not nothing over the top
How could she have known that his head would be in that exact spot and that he would fire off his dart thingys at that exact moment?? And also on top of that she mustve been relying on him not understanding the capabilities of his own weaponry lol
Because Naru got stuck in that exact same location herself earlier in the movie?
The whole movie points out how early weaponry in general was very unreliable. I'm willing to bet that's why the pred killed with blades most of the time
It was stupid, would you fire the shot if you didn’t see where the target system was aiming? Are we really supposed to believe this predator is that dumb?
The Predator is my favorite creature feature of all time. Now I'm waiting for Predator vs Capt Kirk of Star Ship Enterprise........
I'm looking forward to seeing this movie. I loved 'Predators' but like this film, its not getting the chances it deserves but that is why I stopped listening to the 'professional Critiques'. IF they don't give a movie a good review that makes me want to see it but IF they proclaim it to be a 'revelation' then I will wait for the 'revelation' when it can be rented on Amazon Prime.
I think a predator movie where they bring great warriors and hunters from different time periods would be cool
Naru is gonna give it to Golden Angel in some badass movie
It’s pretty amazing what this streaming only film has done for the excitement of the franchise, and how it has with three simple scenes (the trapper giving the pistol, the girl giving the pistol and the last animation) has retconned the franchise and tied together and validated Predator 2 with this prequel.
I think the clue how they get the gun is hidden in the beginning of end credits. During end credits when they showing sequence of "wall paintings" that showed everything what happened in the movie - everything except one thing. Last painting shows that after Naru becomes War Chief they spotted more Predator ships on the sky, so perhaps the chief of the tribe gave the predators a pistol as a sign of respect when they came to retrieve the body of their fallen warrior? But that just my theory, and sorry for bad english.
the part that confused me was the homing arrow at the end, did the predator shoot it at eva and she impaled it so that it could home around and kill the predator or did he just miss point blank? she even gasped after he shot like it went through her but then had no injuries following. I know that it needs the helmet to be fired straight but it still had momentum implying it went straight through her initially before circling back
She set up his helmet with the tracking beams to point at his own forehead but since she doesn’t know how the tech work it was more of a gamble so it was a sigh of relief that it worked
Shits retarded how does he not know how his own equipment work ????
She measures the predators height earlier on, by measuring its foot length. She used this to adjust the helmet in place to aim at his head and fought, tripped and lured him into the trap. While making herself hard to hit in melee, tricking the predator into using his spike launcher, he didn’t realize she had the helmet and so their homing activated and rapidly diverted path to the target (the predaters head). She basically tricked it into killing itself because she couldn’t overpower it normally.
Finally a female character that had to learn and adapt to win. Instead of just being an unstoppable badass. I loved this movie.
And here comes another AvP!!!!
I was a fan of this girl on legion, but I have a feeling she gained a lot more fans with this!
At the end of the movie I think it shows the predators coming back for the gun I’m the drawings
Remember guys, this is there B team to the Predator JV team. It's not an L, but it really ain't a win for humanity. That may also be a theme of this series we must not forget. Something out there is stronger and smarter. I would assume.
It's hard to see the post credit scenes because Hulu is always trying to play something else.
That moment when looper doesn't finish the movie
You didn't mention the the ship come in to land at the end of the credits
Well, if you go too far into the future for the setting of these movies. You run the risk of trying to think up and create futuristic weapons, that aren't so one-sided. Meaning, it would be too advanced and it would all be automated technology that really wouldn't require a lot of hunting skills. Like how guns are too easy to use and don't require a whole lot of skill to kill someone. If anything, it's too easy to kill someone now. The step back in time makes more sense with these movies bc the arsenals require skillful use and is more suitable for an exciting hunt. However, that does only apply to the human species. When fighting other aliens on different planets, I'm sure (or they should) be using different weapons
