    Definitely one of the most original films of the 80s. It had a fantastic film score, amazing visuals, a really interesting ensemble cast and some memorable dialogue ("There's something out there, and it ain't no man", "We a rescue team, not assassins" and "I ain't got time to bleed" being some of my favourite lines). In the mid 80s Arnie signed a three picture deal with 20th Century Fox and Predator was the last film in this deal (the other two being Commando and Raw Deal) Even now it's still quite a gruesome film but a very interesting and entertaining one. Also Kevin Peter Hall played two parts, not only was he the predator but also the helicopter pilot who picks up Dutch in the junge at the end of the fim.

It's a timeless classic that I viewed in secret a few years before I was allowed to view it.

    I had a black lab that absolutely loved the Predator movie. When I got a 3D TV i bought predator since my dog was addicted to the film to the point of watching it 3 to 7 times a week I thought it would be a good idea. After I got her to actually look at the screen with the glasses on she was hooked. After about 6 months of putting the glasses on her she learned to do it herself . I could hide the DVD around the house and she would find it, if I paused the movie she would growl at me. People thought I was making it up but I have pictures and video of her putting on the glasses and staying glued to the screen and even growling when I paused the movie. for 14 years the Predator movie was the 1 thing that my dog had to have and it is a great memory of a great dog. I love the Predator franchise but not the AVP ones they suck but the first 2 hold a special place to me.

    Absolutely jam packed full of nostalgia, I love it, great stuff, Minty. I went to watch Predator in the cinema very recently, it was showing for one night only and when I went, the atmosphere was awesome, you could tell most of the ones there were proper fans just I am because everyone was sort of shouting out the one liners together and laughing their heads off when Blaine said things like "I ain't got time to bleed" =P
    Merry Christmas and a happy new year, stick around! ; )
    Oh yeah, if you think of doing another video over Christmas anytime, really think about doing Home Alone or Home Alone 2, that would be incredible.

    Predator also came out on the home computer systems such as Commodore Amiga, Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC464, Atari ST etc. It was a side scrolling action game that looked way more like the movie. Computers were a way bigger platform than consoles back then around Europe. During the 80s and early 90s you'll find a lot of movie games were released on those formats over consoles (so Red Heat, Terminator, Aliens, Batman, Total Recall, Back to the Future, Goonies, Gremlins etc)

    MINTY, Greetings from Jacksonville, FL. I was first introduced to Kevin Peter Hall when I was 18 on the show Misfits Of Science 1985 - 1986. Which I think you might like. You may want to add this info to your Predator episode. He played a scientist who wanted to be a normal size, which in turn made him miniscule.
    I had not realized he had passed until I watched this episode on 22 April, 2020. I greatly enjoy your TH-cam show. - Howlin' Mad Doc

      Toby Bliss Both were good. P2 had a bit of Robocop style urban satire. The bit when Danny Glover gets out of the Jamaicans' car, amid an opaque column of smoke, coughs, and says, Maybe you guys ought cut down, is one of my fave jokes in a non comedy. Ps on the other hand, was a total homage to Predator and is honestly about as good as a Predator sequel can get without destroying itself. Part of the appeal of the Predator isn't covering the mysteries of the creature, what does it look like, what it can it do, why is it doing this? Once those questions are answered such franchises die fast. Look at Alien / Prometheus and Terminator these days.
