    PREDATOR MOVIE REVIEW | 32:34 - 34:08
    Predator Movie Description:
    Dutch (Arnold Schwarzenegger), a soldier of fortune, is hired by the U.S. government to secretly rescue a group of politicians trapped in Guatemala. But when Dutch and his team, which includes weapons expert Blain (Jesse Ventura) and CIA agent George (Carl Weathers), land in Central America, something is gravely wrong. After finding a string of dead bodies, the crew discovers they are being hunted by a brutal creature with superhuman strength and the ability to disappear into its surroundings.
    Predator is a 1987 American science fiction action film directed by John McTiernan and written by brothers Jim and John Thomas.[4] It is the first installment in the Predator franchise. It stars Arnold Schwarzenegger as the leader of an elite paramilitary rescue team on a mission to save hostages in guerrilla-held territory in a Central American rainforest, who encounter the deadly Predator (Kevin Peter Hall), a technologically-advanced alien who stalks and hunts them down.
    Predator was written in 1984 under the working title of Hunter. Filming ran from March to June 1986 with creature effects devised by Stan Winston; the budget was around $15 million. 20th Century Fox released the film on June 12, 1987 in the United States, where it grossed $98.3 million. Initial reviews tended toward the negative, but the film has since been reappraised as a classic of the action genre.
    The success of Predator spawned a media franchise of films, novels, comic books, video games, and toys. It spawned three direct sequels: Predator 2 (1990), Predators (2010) and The Predator (2018), and an upcoming installment in preproduction.[5] A crossover with the Alien franchise produced the Alien vs. Predator films, which include Alien vs. Predator (2004) and Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007).

    Originally, Dutch was supposed to beat the Predator in hand-to-hand combat, but it was Arnold who said that it wouldn't make any sense. He said something like "He's a monster, and I'm just a man. I can't beat him in a fist fight," so they changed the story so that Dutch gets his ass kicked and has to outsmart the Predator to survive.

    • @VegetaLF7
      @VegetaLF7 3 ปีที่แล้ว +97

      Honestly it was the right choice. To see as jacked of a man that Arnold is get his ass handed to him in physical combat and have to rely on his brains to win, that's a much more compelling story than if he just out macho'd the Predator. Especially noteworthy for being an 80's action film with the foresight to do that.

      More than the right choice. Arnie beating the Predator, who has already proven that he is the much stronger fighter, would just have been unbelievable. And after all: humans are a threat for Predators because of their ingenuity, not because of their strength. Dutch showcasing that is a much more powerful message than relying on brute strength for this fight. It also shows that Dutch is not a dummy.

    Funnily enough, that "disrespectful" spine rip is probably the highest honor you could receive dying in a fight with a Predator. They take your skull/spine if you put up a great fight as a trophy, as if to say "damn you were a worthy foe, I'll take something to remember you by".

    The Predator’s initial design looked like a giant space lobster and Jean Claude Van Damme was cast to play him. Van Damme couldn’t stand the heat and not being able to move around in the suit so he quit after two days. The director flipped his shit when he saw what the monster looked like so the studio hired Stan Winston to redesign him. Stan Winston drew the Predator as we see him with the mask on a flight with James Cameron but he didn’t know what the face should look like and James Cameron said he always wanted to see something with mandibles. Also Jessie Ventura, Bill Duke and the actor who played Poncho are all Vietnam vets.

    There's some stuff about this movie that makes it a lot cooler when you think about it, and some stuff you miss on first pass. It's a lot deeper than most action thrillers from the time.
    First, to clarify; Dutch wasn't killed by the Plasma shot cos it hit his gun, not his gut. It knocked him back and showered him with burning hot shrapnel.
    The top of Mac's head was taken off by the Plasma, it's just kinda hard to see.
    Finally, the fact that The Predator laughs in Dutch's face at the end is all the more galling when you realise he's laughing at him using a facsimile of his dead friend's laugh. It's like the ghosts of the men he failed to save are gloating at him.
    This is a really cool movie. The sequel is good too, and while I like the third film, they all get a bit shit after Predator 2.

      Good point, that Cameron probably holds the record for the most box office revenue by a wide margin with Terminator, Aliens, The Abyss, Terminator 2, Titanic, True Lies, and Avatar.

    With ammo prices where they are now, all this shooting makes me cringe. Every time a trigger gets pulled it's like, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1 LMAO

    Awesome reaction! The craziest fun fact about this movie to me is how the first Predator design was so terrible and hilarious, it looked like a giant beetle insect thing with lame gadgets... and it had Jean-Claude Van Damme inside the suit! He is much shorter than Arnold and there is a picture of him sitting on a log in the jungle almost crying, telling Arnold how ridiculous he feels inside the suit. Arnold / The Director called James Cameron and Stan Winston who did the special fx and design for Terminator and Aliens and said "we need a brand new creature design that will actually scare Arnold. It has to have muscles, be taller than him, and a humanoid type design." Stan Winston and James Cameron were on an airplane. Stan started sketching a design and James said "I've always wanted to see mandibles on a creature's face". Within a couple weeks, they shipped it and flew the new actor out to the jungle to join the cast who finished filming every scene they could that did not involve showing the Predator. It is truly among the very coolest creature designs of all time, if not the coolest, entirely designed and made last minute.
    Predator 2 is pretty darn good. Considering the challenges of a sequel, made in 1990, and moving the location to L.A., I think they did a great job, but the first movie still wins for sure. After Predator 2, every other movie featuring the Predator is a TOTAL joke, and all of us true fans kept taking huge punches to the gut every time they screwed up so badly in every other movie. They always forget to capture what made this film so dam good. Kevin who played Predator in 1 and 2 died of AIDs after part 2. He brought such a unique, cat-like, strange element that made it more terrifying, interesting, and believable as a creature that is not from Earth. I wish no other movie was ever made past part 2. They only decreased its lore and appeal overall.

    Conan, Predator, Kindergarten Cop, Terminator I and II are my childhood. Thanks for the fun memories Arnold. These movies make me a kid again!
