Predator is a 1987 American science fiction action film directed by John McTiernan and written by brothers Jim and John Thomas. 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 #React #Reaction - บันเทิง
My favorite scene in this movie . . . when Mac grabbed the mini-gun and opened up into the jungle, nobody hesitated, nobody asked any questions. Everybody just came over and opened up in the same direction. So gratifying watching them just come together without a word and level the jungle going after that predator. Everyone was like, whatever the hell it is, KILL IT!
Yes! It seems like a lot of people, reactors, don't understand the concept of overwhelming force.
Exactly! When you have people you fully trust, you just support them without a question.
Yep, that is the best moment of the movie.
"Mac screamed "CONTACT" and started shooting... Good enough for me! So anyway I started blasting"🤷🏾♂️😂
This is actually a strategy which in military terms is known as the ''Mad Minute'', where basically a military unit shoots a combined force of suppressing fire in the same direction for a period of one minute. This action is usually done in the case that nothing else is working out in an environment where you cannot clearly see the enemy. It's basically the logic of ''if we all shoot together several rounds we're bound to hit something.''
That muscle handshake is still a great meme to this day 💪🏻
Indeed it is
That's how we used to greet each other in school back then. I admit, it was less spectacular than the original, but hey - anything to ramp up the hormones on our way to puberty.
Not a meme, it's how real men greet each other.
Dillon! 💞
That's 80's macho ish
It's so gratifying to watch people having the same reactions and fun that I had in the theater nearly 40 years ago.
40 years? Fuck.
This came out in 1987. People seem to forget the 80's was the Arnold decade for action.
The thing I love about this movie is that all the tough guy commandos are terrified the entire time. Predator is basically a slasher movie that replaces horny teenagers with soldiers, and everyone on the creative team understood that assignment.
In the original script, Arnold’s character was supposed to beat the Predator in a hand to hand fight. Arnold objected, “there’s no way. He’s a monster, I’m just a man. He’d kick my ass.”
That change made the movie into a classic.
after having made movies like Conan the Barbarian, Conan the Destroyer, The Terminator, and Commando, Arnold was very happy with this role, as this time, he wasn't the one killing everyone!
But he still killed the big bad lol
@@kaibricturner8836 and around 50 of those guys at the beginning
Aye, from what I heard the original idea was to have Arnold just beat the Predator in hand to hand combat. And it was Arnold himself that said there would be no way that that could happen and so they changed it into winning with traps.
Except for everyone he did kill lol
What’s cool about this movie is that it flipped the whole 80s action movie genre on its head. When this came out, there were a bunch of movies like Commando and Rambo, which were about unstoppable muscular action stars running around killing everyone. This movie started that way with the village attack (which was pretty meta) but then it switched to a movie of all these muscular men getting completely demolished by an alien hunter. Also, when people saw this, they didn’t entirely know what it was about because the internet didn’t exist. 😂
Also, by showing how badass the characters are in the village scene, it emphasizes how dangerous the Predator is. He's stalking and killing the "best of the best".
In the scene where the Predator is using his medkit, it looks like he's got an exoskeleton like a crab, or bug, or crayfish, or something. It looks like he put an antiseptic or liquid bandage over the exposed tissue, and then stapled his shell back together.
Good Sci-fi.
Predator was intended to be a lot more insectoid. While I don't regret the change to the humanoid head, I like that insect angle. I don't feel the modern lore has taken the insect angle.
The Predator race and background has been expanded tremendously over the years with all the movies and comic books but this movie laid some of the foundations. It's a small detail but notice how the Predator never attacks someone who is unarmed?
They want their prey to be dangerous, for them hunting is a sport and they always seek out the most dangerous targets to test themselves against. So he never attacks the female rebel, who is never armed, but only attacks the special force unit.
Yeah. We get to see Alien vs Predator. That's way more intense. So even an armed human might be a mediocre trophy. An unarmed human would probably get you laughed at on the playground.
If a Predator kills an unarmed enemy or a mother of a child for example, they become an Outlaw and are free to be hunted by other Predators
Yeah the yautja (predator species) have a strict code of honor. They are a warrior race. Hunting dangerous prey is how they increase their standing in society. The more trophies the higher their standing.
There’s was a comic about a pirate and predator fighting each other but ended up fighting together against rival pirates but the pirate dies and gives the predator his gun while the predator gives him his blade and buried the pirate with his blade with him and you can see the predator and the gun again in the sequel predator 2
And he ends up killing someone who chases after Ana. So there is a sport to it for sure.
Now imagine it is 12 June 1987. You and your buds have already spent two hours playing video games in the arcades before going to the multiplex at the other end of the mall. Now imagine you and your buds have purchased your 9:45 theater tickets to the movie PREDATOR; and once inside, you find that it is literally a full house and the remaining seats are in the first three rows.
That is how me and my buds watched the movie excitedly.
His accent is German. He's from Austria. The pilot with the aviators played the predator. RIP Kevin Peter Hall.
The black helicopter pilot at the end of the movie is Kevin Peter Hall the actor in the Predator suit. He also plays Bigfoot in the 80'c classic Harry and the Hendersons have to watch it too. Great reaction you guys are a little jumpy, its fun.
He also played the Alien/Creature in an earlier movie called 'Without Warning', a low budget film that I enjoyed as a kid. Predator seems to be loosely based off of 'without warning' as the alien in that movie was also a hunter.
Harry and the Hendersons! :D Jesus Christ I have forgotten that x)... and now I remember Alf too :D
He also the city hunter in Predator 2 that was his last and best role ever as the predator that city hunter design is the best so sexy and mesmerizing ♥️♥️
That could be you van damme,,
KPH was guest starred as a mental patient with a group of patients in an episode of 80's Night Court. I believe that one of his costars is James Cromwell. Group was in front of Harry Anderson as he plays the judge...funny episode
The attention to detail in this movie (and Predator 2) was amazing. I loved the Predator's self-triage and first-aid gear. Just the fact that they included it is awesome. Really impressive how much "lore" they packed into the short time you see the creature on screen.
YES!!!
MY #1 FAVORITE ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER MOVIE!!
Facts you didn't know about the movie:
Jane Claude van Damme played the Predator in some parts of the movie, but quit production as he was tired of wearing the original suit, which looked like an lizard insect hybrid.
He even wanted to kickbox Arnold but the producers refused.
Kevin Peter Hall, RIP, was cast as the titular character as he was more of an intimidating opponent for Arnold's character Dutch, being 7'2".
The PREDATOR suit was designed and created by Oscar Winning VFX company Stan Winston Studios, whom would later return to the franchise for PREDATOR 2 in 1990.
Half the cast and crew got food poisoning except for Arnold and Director McTiernan whom ate Spaghetti O's and PBJ Sandwiches like Spielberg and Ford on Raiders Of The Lost Ark. Schwarzenegger would later hire his own personal Chef to give the actors the food they needed.
No hot meals were allowed due to a heatwave in Mexico, so they ate protein bars instead.
The producers hired a bodyguard to protect people from Sonny Landham, RIP, whom played Billy, as he was prone to violent outbursts.
Landham said in an interview that, "We weren't making a movie it was a survival story for all of us."
It was 110° in the shade, while it was 42° at night.
It rained for 2 weeks making filming even more difficult.
The scene where the stuntman falls off the cliff and lands in the water blew out his kneecap.
The film was a box office success, making $100 million dollars ($350-400 million dollars today) against an $18 million dollar budget.
It was nominated for Best Visual Effects but lost to InnerSpace.
It's been regarded as one of the best Sci-fi Action movies ever made.
Thanks for the data, dude.
Kevin Peter Hall also played the copper pilot at the end of the movie.
I wish reactors would watch Innerspace lol
@@danholmesfilm That one always gets overlooked for some reason. 'Enemy Mine' as well.
Most of these I didn't know about a lot of these especially how Billy had violent outburst in real life
Predator 2 is a direct sequel to Predator 1. There are others continued the stories of Predator's species. In 2018, The Predator directed and written by Shane Black (Hawkins) is also direct sequel. Prey (2022) is a prequel of Predator.
You forgot Predators from 2010, I believe.
I actually really liked the predator 2018, I love that they keep pointing out that the alien is really a hunter rather than a predator. Prey is also great.
The best thing about this is how they just give you small glimpses of the predator while ramping up the tension and keeping the spooky atmosphere. Then the hand to hand payoff at the end.
As some have mentioned, the Predator is from a hunting culture, collecting trophies as you saw all the skulls and bones he had. He destroyed himself at the end because he wasn't going to be someone's "trophy" plus have his technology fall into a lesser species hands. Not too many villains out there who can manhandle Arnie around like the Predator did.
arnold has an austrian accent a.. and the bicepts on arm wrestling is a very famous meme.. this is the very first and one and only orginal predator that started everything..
My cousin and I saw this opening night....yes we're that old(junior high for us)...the entire theater cheered throughout the movie.
If you notice in a Special forces unit everybody has different sizes and special skills that they excel at... BLANE and MAC (the guy with the cowboy 🤠 hat is a heavy weapons gunners, Poncho and the guy with the glasses are tech officers, "Billy" the Native American, is a tracker great at reconnaissance.. and so on....
Greatest action movie of them all. The human mind as our means of survival.
Thank you. I watched this movie when it was released to Laserdisc as an 8yr old. I asked my dad if it was ok for me to watch this movie at the neighbors house and he hesitated and said “ok”. From that point on I would act casual then sprint home everyday because i was convinced i was being chased!
Don't forget the home-field advantage.
Welcome to Earth muthafucka!
Pefectly blends Action/Horror/Sci fi together
I was lucky enough to visit the Predator filming location in 2015. It's now a zip-line tourist attraction just outside of Puerto Vallarta. The base seen at around 7:10 is now a restaurant, and it's right next to the river. They even have a life-sized statue of the Predator there.
"If it bleeds, we can kill it" 👍
You may recognize a internet meme that originated from this Amazing Sci fi Lol
Definitely check out the sequel(PREDATOR 2)& prequel PREY(2022). PREDATORS(2011) is highly underrated 👌
It was the late great Sonny Langham's (Billy) birthday recently (Feb 11th) RIP 🙏 probably the only bad ass American Indian character I've seen in a movie before Dances With Wolves & Last Of The Mohicans
RIP to the late Great Kevin Peter Hall, AKA THE PREDATOR. Wearing all that latex make up in the jungle must have been a son of a gun
That beginning helicopter scene is great. It pretty much lets you know who everybody is and sets the tone before the movie even starts.
Like the start of Alien.
The 7 foot 2 inch tall Kevin Peter Hall played the Predator and was the helicopter pilot at the end. He also played Harry in Harry and the Hendersons(he was the Bigfoot). He tragically died from AIDs at age 36 contracted from a blood transfusion after a bad car wreck
Definitely need to watch the rest of the series along with the alien movies and just so you know, the black dude flying the chopper at the end, is the same guy in the predator suit. He's like 7'2" that's why he's so much taller than Arnie, who is 6'4"
that's Kevin Peter Hall (RIP) who also played Harry in Harry and the Hendersons the same year this came out.
@@kingscorpion7346 HE PLAYED HARRY????😭😭
@@SakaIsMyDad yep, he sure did!
Predators SUX and the predator sux even more!
Predator 2 and the new movie "Prey" are only decent (in that order) but not as good as the first
I used to love this movie so much when I saw it as a kid that I made it a point to remember the name of the actor who played the Predator, Kevin Peter Hall.
I never saw what the actor looked like, but I always remembered his name and that he was in Harry and the Hendersons.
Hey Vince and Shoshanna, Looks like the Predator's look really got to you guys. You have to thank the mater himself, James Cameron for helping to come up with the look for the Predator and his facial claws. ------- Stan Winston (practical effect creator) sat next to Cameron on a trans-Atlantic flight and told him about having trouble with a certain creature design... so Cameron drew him a sketch, and vwalla we have your favorite spork on and face ever created.
I think Peter Cullen (Optimus Prime) should get a shout out for the Predator noises. They allways so creepy
Never knew that. Saw the original design which was pretty bad 😂 I think it’s jean Claude can dam was in the original suit
I think this is such an original movie. It starts out as a typical 80s war movie and then changes genre and becomes a horrific gore monster film who happens to also be an extraterrestrial! -OG
Hats off to you for picking up on the role reversal when the alien starts shooting randomly into the jungle for Arnold like his team did initially. Not all reviewers spot it or comment on it.
In 1990 when I saw the sequel to predator A.K.A. Predator 2 as A teenager there was a moment in that movie that made my head explode 🤯 The infamous trophy case scene… definitely watch predator 2
The only memory I have of my father being alive is he, I, and mom watching this movie.
Hope y’all watch the TH-cam video explaining what happened to Dutch after surviving his encounter with the Predator
Predator mimicking and taunting Dutch's men is not only intimidating 😳 but downright scary. Especially when the Predator uses Billy's laugh at the end of the film before the Predator nuked himself!! -OG
"If he is to destroy it, he must become more than a man ,more than an animal. He must become the very instinct of the PREDATOR." - movie trailer.
John McTernan. Went on to give us Die Hard. I don't think the man has ever made anything but classic movies.
Really you can't beat it, and while I think Predator 2 and Predators are fairly good sequels, honestly the first Predator is the best by a high degree. None of the sequels have ever been able to do what the first film did.
In large part because it's a novel, somewhat original, concept. This movie became something of an archetype that got reused and rehashed and outright ripped off over the remainder of the 80s and into the 90s. Low budget versions of it made all over the place. The other movies also don't quite measure up because the first film is about THE BEST SOLDIERS IN THE WORLD vs THE ULTIMATE HUNTER. The combatants are the best you can get.
Kevin Peter Hall played the Predator in this film and Predator 2. He was one of those classic gentle giants, His big role other than Predator was playing Harry on Harry and the Hendersons, a bigfoot type of creature. You can see him for one shot at the end of Predator as the helicopter pilot saying "what the f-." I believe he was a dancer as well if I'm not mistaken. He really loved playing the Predator characters, and he tried to give each one he stepped into a bit of a personality. He's only screen for just a few handful of minutes, but every moment absolutely works. In this first film especially, everything just works on screen. Which is funny because just about everything you can imagine with the suit went wrong while making the movie, including having to stop production to completely redesign the creature from the ground up. Once again, Stan Winston Studios delivers. They gave us the Aliens in Aliens, the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park, The Terminators, the dog thing creature in The Thing, and so many others. Sadly, not long after shooting Predator 2 he was in a car accident, and though he was likely to recover from that, during surgery he was given blood laced with AID and died from infection. Way too young, and with so much more to give. Sadly this did, in part, impact the Predators in later movies, because without his magical touch I don't think the Predators ever quite felt as vivid and real as they do in the first two films.
Predator movies and alien movies should now be top priority! 💯
Billy had sense of the predator after the Russians kill the hostage when Hawkins told the joke and Billy laughed the predator mimic his laugh and Billy heard it and looked up around the trees. Billy is Native American back ground us Natives have a sixth sense when it comes to the super natural evil spirits. When he faced the predator on the log it was a show of honor and respect you face your enemy on an even playing ground but the predator was to big powerful and strong
Didn't he also cut himself so the Predator doesn't get the honor of drawing first blood?
@B Rabbit excalty in a way he showed the predator dominance
Your facial expressions throughout this video are exactly why I love this movie. There’s nothing but tension and suspense once the hunt is on. Whether you think the Predator is cool or not, you can’t help but think how scared you’d be in that situation. I love how invested you guys get into these movies.
Watching Shoshana react to an obvious Guy Flick is hilarious! Vince laughing his ass off as Shoshana is horrified! lol. Btw, you MUST watch "commando" with Arnold in it. It's THE MOST iconic one liner Schwarzenneger movie of all time (True Lies is 2nd). Great reaction!
Commando has a ton of one liners..honestly it's a fun action flick.
"Let off some steam Bennet."
When I was in the Army we studied the end of Commando as an example of how not to set up a defense. No lie, broke down every mistake they made and had to devise our own defense against Arnold's attack.
@@stevenfisher402 No kidding!! Still doesn't take away from it being an awesome movie! We did a TON of training as cav scouts and I as a sniper, almost nothing about the movie is realistic, it's hollywood. However, when I have a dream of rescuing a hot girl from a warlord on an island that movie is precisely how it would go! lol.
Take care brother!
@@SolidSnake240 Best line easily is "what did you do with Sully?", arny replies, "I let him go". lol
super suspenseful. especially if you haven't seen any of the other predators. the way it was done was so suspenseful because you don't even know what's attacking you, and when they finally find out, they don't even know how to approach it until arnold's the only one left.
That's the issue with all of the sequels and reboots - that suspense just wasn't there at all. Even Shane Black (Hawkins) missed that point spectacularly writing the last one.
@@sephjnr That's kinda guaranteed to happen with any new predator movie though. We are already familiar with the predator, there's nothing to be gained from hiding it for a big reveal.
@@joost1120 The bigger predator in the last move could have been hidden a lot better. They gave it away in the trailers.
"I ain't got time to bleed" is an all time one liner, it was also the title of his autobiography.
THE PREDATOR IS HUGE - The Actor who played the Predator in the first 2 films is the late great KEVIN PETER HALL - He was 7' 3" Tall.
Sadly he passed away on April 10, 1991 (1 month short of his 36th Birthday) from AIDS related Pneumonia that he contracted from a blood transfusion.
This will forever be a great classic sci-fi film.
The guy with the chewing tobacco was Jesse "The Body" Ventura. He was a friend of Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was also an ex- Navy SEAL, professional wrestler in the WWF, and a one time Governor of the state of Minnesota
Soldiers walking around with a 6 barrel Mini gun, it's all in the movies. But hey, it's Jesse Ventura...so I wouldn't have any other way.
Great reactions guys. You guys are so expressive ( that always catches me off guard since people generally knock old movies for CGI)
I saw this in the theatre my sophomore year of high school and it was amazing at that time in the theatre.
Definitely check out Predator 2. Danny Glover stars and there’s a few interesting pieces of lore in there. Not a perfect sequel, but worth watching.
100% Agree
Good reaction, guys. Btw, 'Predator' is the action movie with not just one, but TWO future governors --- Arnold, the future governor of California, and Jesse Ventura, the future governor of Minnesota. Former Governor Jesse Ventura is the guy who upon being told he was shot, replied with, "I ain't got time to bleed'. And there was a 3rd guy in this movie who ran for governor as well...lol
Also, the same guy (former governor Jesse Ventura) with the crazy huge machine gun, was a former professional wrestler in the 1980s, AND he was also a former Navy Seal...so, he actually had actual real-world experience in these types of secret US special forces missions worldwide in real life...missions that are mostly still classified as Top Secret to this very day.
Billy decided he wasn't going to run anymore. He challenged the Predator to face him head on and was prepared to win or die before he ran anymore.
My mates and I saw this at the cinema when it first came out. Totally blown away. Then we watched it at the drive-ins and then on VHS over and over, just like all the great movies from the mid seventies and through the eighties. Here I am now watching all these great films with new generations and thoroughly enjoying their reactions. Thankyou for taking this Gen X er back in time a bit.
I miss the 80s, when movies still got original ideas and actually good. This one is way up there with the best of action movies of all time.
Can’t wait for you to see Predator 2. Near the end of the movie is the biggest Sci Fi Easter eggs/ teasers in history. People waited like 20 years after to see what would happen next.
All of Arnold's old movies have amazing (and yet cheesy) one liners. Commando is another good one for those.
One of my favourite movies growing up as a kid in the 90s, watching you guys see it for the first time and reating to it was so much fun. Glad you enjoyed it :)
Interesting fact; the producer had to hire a few body guards to keep the other actors safe from Sonny Landham, the guy who played Billy. He had a reputation of getting dangerously violent
There's so much to enjoy, and fear, with Predators AND Aliens. You're in for a treat.
The chopper pilot at the end was the actor who wore the Predator suit. He’s 7’ tall.
That helicopter pilot at the end ("what the f..") is the actor in the predator costume, Kevin Peter Hall (R.I.P. too soon).
That soundtrack is so iconic! The second you hear it you’re like PREDATOR!!!
34:53 Billy’s laugh rules. Great
Vince talking about big league chew... The gum that was shredded and came in paper packets like tobacco bags. Then there were the candy cigarettes and the shredded beef jerky in a tin to resemble a snuff can. Oh the good times.
One of the most sought out Alan Silverstri film scores back in the day. My favorite by the film composer is "Predator 2", the percussions are just insane.
The quote *"I ain't got time to bleed 🩸"* is a form psychological motivation.... Your body is an amazing machine, and with the right training and mentality you can control your body's need to bleed out or even null pain.... BLANE is so HYPER focused on what he's doing that even though his arm is injured it's not bleeding a lot....
Wow, what a crazy take
Nah. It’s just a cool line.
The big gun with six barrels is a M134. It can be mounted several different ways: handheld, helicopter door, sides of Little Bird helos. The kickback is fairly minimal mainly because of the rapid fire full auto. It can fire 3000+ rounds per minute. Some versions fire at faster rates, with the fastest I have seen being over 6000 rounds a minute. They fire 7.62 ammo, also known as .308 caliber, but the newer version fires .338 ammo, which costs about $30000 per minute, with each individual round costing $5-6.
Also, the guy wielding that weapon in the beginning was Jesse Ventura, real life UDT man (precursor Navy SEAL).
The handheld version, like in this movie, is fiction. The recoil would knock even the most brolic dude on his ass.
@Sgt Schultz having witnessed handheld versions in action, I can, and do, affirmatively and wholeheartedly disagree with your assumption.
@@benschultz1784 the recoil is nothing like you assume.
Great movie! Features 2 future Governors, Schwarzenegger(California) Jesse Ventura(Minnesota), I am surprised y'all didn't recognize Carl Weathers(Apollo Creed) also at the end, when the helicopter shows up, the pilot, kevin Peter Hall, he also played the predator in this one, alot fun facts for this one.
How was he holding that big gun? Pure unadulterated badass
The Predator mimicking Billy's laugh at the end... 🥶🥶🥶Everytime!
On to Predator 2!
One of the greatest action movies of all time. Love y'alls reactions. Predator is awesome and y'alls reactions to the movie are hilarious, in the best way
Now, watch Arnold Schwarzenegger again in Commando, Kindergarten Cop, Terminator 1&2 & True Lies 👍.
And total recall
I bet for True lies
The gun itself weighs around 85 pounds. The backpack was just the chain fed ammunition for it.
Jesse Ventura is the actor holding it and stood 6’5” and weighing in at a bit over 300 pounds in this movie without the gear on.
s really cool how Predators have a code of honor.
Hawkins had his weapon out, but didn't have it up and wasn't scanning the environment for threats, so The predator didn't use his plasma caster. Instead he made noise until both Anna and Hawkins noticed, and then moved in on foot and killed Hawkins by hand.
Blain had his weapon out and was not only actively scanning the environment , but actively firing into it. Shooting him from cover was therefore acceptable.
Mac had figured out how to spot the predator even while cloaked, so there was no reason to turn the cloak off. He was so actively tracking the Predator, so it was fine for the Predator to shoot him, but only after using Mac's own action against him, letting him put himself in position to be shot.
Dillon had his weapon out and was actively scanning his environment for the Predator, so it was also acceptable to shoot him, except the shot didn't connect solidly, and disarmed him. The Predator could have fired a second shot to finish him off at this point but didn't, he switched tactics and began to close the distance on foot, even slowing down to walk in order to give Dillon enough time to un-sling his second weapon and aim it at the Predator before it made the kill.
We don't see Billy's death, so we can't say for certain how he died, though the last time we see him alive is through the Predator's point of view as he closes the distance on foot. Given his behavior elsewhere, and judging by the state of Billy's corpse later, is probably safe to say he was killed in hand-to-hand combat.
Poncho was wounded, true enough, but he did have his weapons drawn and ready, and he was looking for the Predator, so it was still acceptable to circle around out of his line of fire and take him out by shooting him.
Anna was unarmed and posed no threat so he couldn't kill her.
Dutch was firing at the Predator the first time, so it was acceptable to shoot him, but he got away.
During their second fight, as long as Dutch was using explosives and projectile weapons against the Predator it was fine for the Predator to attempt to shoot him. However, once the Predator caught him, it became obvious Dutch was disarmed, and his breathing was distressed. The Predator therefore discarded this plasma caster and breathing mask, so he would have to fight Dutch disarmed and unable to breathe comfortably.... or in other words, on as even terms as possible.
"But what about his blades" you might be thinking . "He pulled those out at the end of the fight"
Yes, he did, but only after Dutch had been thoroughly defeated that he was literally crawling away from the Predator, dragging his legs behind him. As far as the Predator knew, he had crippled his opponent, which meant it was time to dispatch his prey in the most humane way possible. That's a rule we ourselves tend to abide by when hunting. We can take a very long time to hunt an animal down, but once we cripple it, there's an expectation among most people-- especially serious hunters-- that its time to put a swift end to the hunt and put the animal out of its misery. The hunters who purposely drag things out and let the animal linger in pain and suffering, we tend to look down on with anger and disgust. So the arm blades makes sense in that context.
I grew up on this film and watching you both react to it gives joy to us long term fans as we all wish we could watch it for the first time again, and you bring that feeling to us. Your faces were gold I could tell you both really enjoyed it. The best reaction to this I've ever seen. You're both very very likeable. Keep it up.
Predator, a timeless classic and I would argue the greatest action film ever, had a great time watching you guys.
WHOOO!! Reactions like yours are why movies like these were made!! YEAH! Thank you for sharing!!
Classic. Hope you two are having an great and awesome day ❤️
Loved watching yall watch this classic 👌
Rest in peace, Carl Weathers. Thank you for the awesome memories.
May your memory be eternal.
I just realized the guy that gets blown up in the Car that Arnold Lifts up, is also in Predator 2 somehow as the guy that Glover chases up to the rooftop. I think he’s maybe a stunt guy that got screen time in both movies.
Predators can mimic sounds. I love that they have an honor code. This Yajuta would be a young blood on his first hunt to earn his stripes.
the helicopter pilot at the end was the guy who played the predator. wanted to give him a scene without the makeup. jean claude van damme was originally going to play the predator
you guys should react to the latest one that came out it’s called prey
There were actually 2 directors for this movie with the first handling the first part of the movie with the hostages. He was replaced and another director finished it off, why it can feel like 2 different movies. 2nd director did a great job.
Both of you’re reactions were fantastic, you guys were really into it and didn’t talk over every important part like most reactors do lol new subscriber 👍🏼👍🏼
"destroying the entire forest for this man" This is the first viewer to me who understood why they murdered the jungle. Everybody else who saw this scene always says "why don't they conserve ammo, they are just wasting bullets" He just witnessed his friend get killed and is acting on pure rage.
Men who right now are in their last 40’s grew up watching Rocky/Rambo and Predator in the 80’s marked our life’s to be the one.
Really good reaction. The look on your faces when the predator was climbing down the tree behind him was so great 😂.
It’s interesting, the movies of the time, there’s usually smiles and handshakes at the end and having him look tired and worn out was a good choice.
A lot of people don't like that Danny Glover plays the lead in the sequel. (Supposedly, Arnold's character either dies or is impaired from radiation after his encounter, according to retconned lore, as I've heard it.) But I really like Predator 2. It's really good Sci-fi and is actually a linchpin for lots of different aspects in the whole franchise. I didn't solely associate Predator with Arnold, so I never felt disappointed. But if you're just an Arnie fan, I could see how the sequel wouldn't interest you.
One of my fav movies of all time
This is classic 80s Arnold. Ill watch anyone watch this movie. Its fun to see reactions to REAL stunts and REAL effects. There was hardly any CGI back then. BTW... the actor who played the Predator was Kevin Peter Hall. Mr Hall was over 7 feet tall, and a super nice guy. He was also Harry in Harry And The Henderson's. A comedy about a family that finds bigfoot and brings him home with them. Its a fun, family film. Kevin Peter Hall was in a bad car crash in 1992. He was rushed to the hospital in critical condition. During surgery he was accidentally given contaminated blood and passed away. RIP Kevin Peter Hall.
The guy flying the chopper at the end of the film...played the predator in the film
dad showed me this movie when i was 5 years old. made huge impact on me. seen it like 1000 times.
Did someone already mention that there are 2 future state governors in this movie ? Arnold -California, Jesse Ventura-Minnesota ?
One of my top 5 movies all time to this day. You'll never be able to change my mind.
Fun fact about the predator the clicking noise Is done by Peter Cullen the voice of Optimus prime in the transformer movies.
The newest predator is based on Billy's Native Tribe that how he picked up on its tactics
Saw this in the theater it was even more epic
Literally one of the greatest action movies ever made. Great reaction.
One of the better reactions Ive seen hope yall do more 💪🏽
I love the Predator’s face - it’s crabtastic! 🦀
You were so on edge all the time.... LOVE IT.
I love how this movie goes from a high octane action flick to a pulse pounding *slasher flick.*
Complete with a knife wielding, mask-clad killer!
