- New jungle, same elite species of hunter. If you like unhinged melees in the sweltering heat and the sweet sound of Danny Glover ignoring authority, then you'll love this full movie reaction to Predator 2.
P2 was very underrated. I think the studio set it up to fail, but the actors brought the characters to life so well, they made the movie good
Back in the day, I had PREDATOR 2 on VHS but not the first movie. So, I knew this one better than the original.
Really wish we had proper third installment with Arnie and Glover together. Ah, well.
P2 is my favorite!
I think it was doomed to flop the minute they failed to secure Arnold to return as lead. It wasn't a bad movie by any means, in fact, it's definitely a classic and worthy of the Predator series name. I just think there was a stigma already attached to it before it even played on opening nights, simply because "No Ah-Nult!". Take a look at the the Alien and Terminator sequels.... The leads for both movies returned for the sequels and the hype was real, and also well deserved. Predator 2 got bojed out of that hype, solely because of casting (which is nothing negative against Danny Glover, cuz he was just as awesome in this movie!).
Arnold Schwarzenegger said no to Predator 2 (1990) because of a dispute over money. According to producer John Davis, it was over an additional $250,000, which the studio refused to pay him.
I feel like Predator 2 was doomed to fail when:
1. they didn't get good writers like they did in the original, so more studio involvements on what they wanted.
2. Arnold not wanting to return.
3. However since there was major studio involvements They not only got good well known actors in the film, but they also casted a lot of good character actors to add to the movies universe but gives the movie a good charm towards viewers. like loyal friend, no matter how much you hate them you cant help and stay for their charming good personality.
RIP to Bill Paxton, the first actor to get killed by the Terminator, Aliens and a Predator too.
and the Cowboys
THE only actor! RIP indeed. 😔
@@gwyneveresunlightblade5962 Don't forget about Lance Henriksen, I'm guessing he was second.
@@anon1903kg Technically Ripley killed him in Alien 3 but I see your point. 😊
@@gwyneveresunlightblade5962 I was about to correct you there but suddenly realised what you meant!
"Otherworldly Inspector Gadget" goddamn killed me. Holy shit.
Rest in peace to Kevin Peter Hall who played both Jungle Hunter, and City Hunter, as well as Greyback the Elder Predator. He did a great job as a performer in every creature costume he ever put on... and everyone who knew him has had nothing but great thing to say. I've always hoped his son would carry on the tradition and dawn a Predator suit for one of these movies.
My two favorite lines from this movie:
Little kid to Predator: Want some candy?
Rasta man: “You don’t see him eyes ‘til him come calling.”
That first line messed with me as a kid. I could see all this violent crap, but that line being repeated by P2 got under my skin like nothing else.
The predator species has an honor system. it won't kill people who are unarmed, children, pregnant women, and people who are gravely ill.
Then explain the rasta dude he killed that technically wasn't armed until he took the sword out his cane?
@@macksun You answered your own question. He took the sword out of the cane, and as it is established, the Yautja have been coming here for a long time, and recognized that motion.
It's a hunter's code. Those who hunt fauna, deer and the like, generally don't mess with the breeding potential of a prey species, and there's no sport in hunting the infirm.
The thing to remember is that the hunt is the only social currency in their culture. They cannot earn standing or respect any other way. The predator in this film is young, gets a full compliment of weapons and is watched closely by his clan. He takes any prey that qualifies, but won't touch breeding stock like the kid or a pregnant woman. The predator in the first film was a seasoned hunter. He hunted alone, with fewer weapons and only hunted the elite soldiers, leaving an entire camp of armed men alone to act as bait, because they weren't impressive enough prey.
To call it a moral code is to misunderstand the Youtja culture. You are known by your kills. If you are known to kill every beast to pick up a sharpened stick or that has tooth or claw, you will have no respect. You hunt the thing that can kill you, the great prize, and earn glory, becoming a seasoned hunter, a leader, an elder.
I love how much of this lore is told in just these two films, without ever needing to exposit. It's in their actions, on the screen but there if you pay attention. It's also why I enjoy the later movies including the AVP ones. They build on lore without rewriting it. For all the flaws of the later films, they kept the Youtja true to form.
@@jrny20 Plus, he knows King Willie is a killer.
Fun fact: Arnold was supposed to be in this movie..the part of Keyes was written for Arnold but due to contract negotiation failing, the role meant for arnold was written for Gary Busey. Also the clan of Predators at the end were played by players from the Los Angeles Lakers.. Danny Glover was a big fan, and when the production needed several very tall people to play the background Predators, he asked them to help out.
Was just about to post this, in hindsight it would have made since for it to be Dutch leading a Predator Taskforce
Damn!!!! Danny and Arnold would’ve made a bomb team up but Gary did rock it! I love the Lakers trivia!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Damn I didn't know that thanks for telling me that I always thought Arnold was supposed to be in predator 2 anyway probably because he was doing terminator 2 around this time also n I wonder was one of the predators Magic Johnson lol 😎😆😎😆
It’s hard to imagine Arnold’s character from the first film becoming the dickhead Busey played in this movie.
In the novel, the predator follows the soldier to the city.
Look at you spotting the Alien easter egg at first sight! Top of the class!
You give me hope.
Maybe there are still people actually watching movies with attention. Thank you for sharing this reaction! :)
I remember my dad pointing that out back in the theater in 1990. My little head nearly exploded from realizing Predators HUNT the Xenomorphs?
It was put there as treat for the observant, and the whole AVP thing grew from it.
I only learned of this a couple months ago when I was having a predator and alien marathon. Shame it took so long to get a crossover, even tho it wasn't good. But Aliens fighting Predators was good tho, I enjoyed their fights
Check out "Dasha from Russia" she's just a kid but she sees everything too.
Predator 2 is my personal favourite. I love the fact it’s set in the city as opposed to the jungle (more chaos). Unfortunately there’s only 1 good film after this (Predators) and a load of poor sequels.
what pisses me the FUCK OFF is that AVP COULD have been an amazing movie if they had adapted the story in the OG comic books: it stayed completely within the canon of both franchises and had great characters and a great story....
instead, someone took a large shit on a paper plate, sprinkled some hollywood turd glitter on it, wrapped it up in tinfoil and said "we're gonna film THIS instead....."
@Tyler Ton I actually loved Predators. It’s the best of all the spin-offs. I loved the novel idea of the humans being shanghaied onto a alien planet and hunted.
@@davidbennett1357 I can’t speak for the comic as I’ve never read it, but I love your metaphor for it 👌🏾
Agreed- but making the CG garbagefest that was AVP was far cheaper than making a bunch of futuristic colony and space cows would have been.
The Predator (2018) an insult to the franchise
An Alien warrior with personal honor, and a societial code of behavior. THAT is refreshing from aliens just running wild.
In A vs P I was always team Predator because of that fact.
DC comics has that and more. I wish we could get a half decent movie or tv show for some of the characters and worlds they’ve built. Only the animation is worth watching really.
Typically aliens either want to invade us, make peace with us, harvest us, or give us something
The Predator species are the only ones that seem to want to hunt us for a sick, twisted, and gory game.
Out of every aliens species in this universe, the Predators seem like the only ones I would grab a beer with.
I always thought him leaving Dannys necklace was him saying get your head back in the game, you sense me on that rooftop but now im standing right here and you didn't sense a dam thing.
@Techno Pirate Thats cool, Iv'e never read the novelization, thanks for sharing that, I'll have to check that out.
I really like that idea.
@Techno Pirate Makes a lot of sense now
@Techno Pirate That, and when he sees him taking on like 4-5 guys at once and mowing them down. That's when he's like, "Oh, I'm going after HIM."
Ooohhhh... interesting 🤔
If you like Danny Glover, check out the Lethal Weapon movies if you haven’t seen them yet.
And the mad max films.
Maybe she will realize why Danny Glover's Character behaved the way he did. You hang around Riggs for too long and something is bound to rub off.
LETHAL WEAPON!!! All of em lol
I was racing torwards the comments when she said The Color Purple was her only perspective of Glover, I hope she adds the Lethal Weapon films to the list you can't not fall in love with Murtagh and his family
@@japython exactly
Danny glover = 10% perspiration, 90% badass
"What does Gary Busey have to do with it?" LMAO, the eternal question.
Danny is portraited by Rubén Blades, a very famous Panamenian Singer. He is much more popular in Latin America by his musical career but he has had really very nice roles through the years in some series and movies.
In the novels, the yautja women are *much* bigger and tougher than the ones we see in the movies. Let's just say courtship is...well, any yautja that *survives* is considered a badass.
Ahhhhhhhh!!! Go on Predator! Live that Praying Mantis life!
The Snu Snu is real with the Yautja.
One of them Yautja females is called Big Mama 😏
20:58 Every time my car gets t-boned I wonder, "Who the hell??? Is that Gary?" In EXACTLY that tone.
And it ALWAYS is.
Not gonna lie, the frisbee blade is my favorite predator gadget
The “I don’t think he gives a shit” is one of the best lines in the entire predator series
I *LOVE* that you caught the Xenomorph (Alien) skull!
"Y'all been fightin' bitches for time eternal!" That statement is actually a lot more accurate than you think, Alanda. If you look at the expanded lore beyond the films of the Predator franchise (the books, comics and/or graphic novels), you'll find that Predators have been coming to Earth since at least the time of the Crusades, perhaps even earlier.
And the mating rituals for their species is right up there with Klingons for being...rough.
Hope Alanda will watch Prey!
The bathroom scene is one of my favorite parts. 😂
In defense of Gary's 'freeze him' plan, the predators respond to getting killed with setting off a nuke... Shooting one in the middle of LA could easily lose you a few city blocks.
Bill Paxton was one of a kind. We missed out on so many great years with him.
"Heem from deh udda side" is one of my favorite movie quotes of all time. Thanks for the fun reaction! Bill Paxton is the only actor to be killed by a predator, an alien and a terminator.
AAAAHAHAHA 'Awww thats so sweet, ya'll ready to die together!'
This one is practically the reason I saw the first one.
"Do you have a mud mask in that trunk because this is not enough?"
😁 SUBSCRIBED 🔔
Gary Busey shows up
“I don’t trust him” Totally valid.
“Predator got that ass!” *Sips tea*
Lmao I’m here for it 🤣🤣🤣
Predator 1 & 2 the best predator movies ever made. The only two movies where Kevin Peter Hall played the part of the predator, RIP
4:13 “on the picnic table...ruined somebody’s lunch spot.” 😂🤣🤣
"Way to go buddy, it took us three days to make that potato salad! THREE DAYS!!!"
Yours may be the funniest reaction channel on TH-cam. Your friends are incredibly lucky.
Thank you so much!!! 😭🥰
16:36 It wasn't a trophy or kindness, but a challenge. From the beginning the Predator already decided that Danny Glover was some sort of an 'alpha', a worthy adversary, the main kill.
He's like, "I wanna see what THIS ONE does."
"The condo board is gonna be pissed."
I just unsubscribed to your channel just so I could have the satisfaction of subscribing again. 😄
Even the predator doen't want to mess with the condo board.
💀💀💀
The latina woman detective is Maria conchito Alonso. She played in The running Man with Arnold Schwarzenegger
Is it just me or was the predator helping Danny Glover get all the bad guys? A little communication goes a long way. 😂🤣
“Disco frisbee” 😂😂
So many one-liners, Ms. Parker... can't even keep up. Love it.
YES!! The predators do indeed have a moral code. Their species is called yaucha. Their society is all about being hunters/warriors. They do not kill anyone who isn't a threat to them. If they do ,they are disgraced and shunned by their peers.
Great reaction. Yea this one introduces some cool tech & lore for the creature.
Damn you have the best commentary for this movie, I've ever heard. Keep it up.
1st predator is ok, but I love Danny Glover in this #2! His movie!!!
The gun at the end of the film that the predator tosses to Glover.... My friend's father actually owns that gun. He bought it from a movie prop auction About 15 years ago it Is the only one as far as we know in existence as far as the props go.
15:35 “it’s looking a lot more ‘Land Before Time’ this go around!” ☠️🤣
Bruh!!, lol ......when Jerry died did you hear her say that the Predator was "Hoovering the blood off of his skull, so that he could polish it" lol 😂😂😂
I don't get it. The first one was in a jungle. Sorry.
So, there is a backstory to go with that pistol. It was expanded on in a comic or series of comics. It belonged to a pirate who was being watched by one of the Predators. If I remember right, the Predator planned on hunting him, but then it witnessed his crew mutinying against him and leapt in to assist him instead. Pretty awesome.
And the last member of the crew shot the capital in the back and the Predator bisected him for it.
The captan gave it to him and the Predator left his rapier at the body of Adolini.
Awesome reaction to an underrated sequel. Your reactions are always so fire!
Thank you so much!!😊
Always found P2 to be underrated, then again I did see it before P1 so I have a soft spot for it.
Love Danny Glover.
Fantastic reaction ^^
I loved it too! Danny can carry any role!
From 29:00 to 30:10 . . . . Now that is a reaction when you become
emotionally invested into the character , the final fight , and then the rest
of the crew shows up . Now that is the 100% emotional reaction .
The flintlock pistol the Predator Chieftain gives Danny Glover at the end is from a Predator Comic book where a 17th century pirate fights along side that Chieftain when he was just a young Yautja (Predator). The Yautja honor code kind of goes away after this movie, except for maybe 1 scene in AVP 1. Alien vs. Predator movies are not a good time hahahah.
The xenomorph skull was a nod to Dark horse comics. Who publicist the Alien and Predator comics . As well as cross over comic book ark called Alien versus Predator . Wich they publicist between 1989 an 2020. A full year before this movie wich came out in 1990 . So they had no plans for a movie version of Aliens versus Predator . They didn't even think it would be possible. So the director did that Easter egg as a nod to Dark horse comics . To acknowledge their work on the comics .
Still blew my mind as a kid.
Most Yautja come to earth and act differently, the young ones would hunt as well antagonize their prey. The older ones, would wait as well stalk their prey and prepare for the kill. However one thing is certain, whenever a predator comes. They always bring in new weapons.
This film was an initiation hunt. Under close supervision, a full array of weapons, any armed target is valid. The predator from the first film was a seasoned hunter. Alone, few weapons, only taking the most elite prey (not the full camp of armed soldiers).
This is great, glad people are liking part 2 and seeing how fun it is. incredible creature design awesome world building super fire practical effects and all the new predators looked amazing.
I really, REALLY enjoyed your reaction to one of my favorite movies!
"...this k-mart is closing!!" has got to be some of the funniest shit I have seen a reactor say.....I laughed for fives of minutes about that one!
Thank you so much 😄!!
A little bit of background facts about the Predator Race that came up over the years: As you could see in this movie, they are interplanetary trophy hunters. Their complete society is based on their hunting successes and if he/she is not killed in combat, a Predator can live up several hundreds of years. They visit mostly hot planets, because their homeplanet is a lot warmer than earth. The Alien vs. Predator movie brought those iconic figures into the same universe and a Xenomorph is the first prey for a young Predator to prove himself. Humans are mostly for more experienced hunters, because a good trained human could develop strategies against the hunter which makes the hunt more challeging (like Dutch Schäfer in the first movie proved). If a Hunter fails, he has to destroy himself and his equipment to not let any trace of existing back. If the Hunter fails, a experienced cleaner is sent to wipe out all possible hints for their species.
“Please don’t sacrifice me in a ritualized killing..”
I believe you can get a Medic Alert bracelet for that issue, Alanda...😉
🤣 if only!
Great reaction. I wondered if you'd notice that Xenomorph skull on the trophy wall, I wasn't disappointed. Those two species have a long history together.
The best kind of Predator.
My day has been made!
Disco Frisbee.
You are too funny.
"By the time Mister walks through that door there's gonna be nothing but corpses."
HAHA
Yeah he played his role well in "The Color Purple" I remember watching as a family and we were all scared of him. A fine actor this guy.
The disco frisby 🤣🤣🤣
I wish I could erase my memories of these films just to watch them again. Love the content and your perspective a definite gem of TH-cam.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Predator 2 is a good sequel. RIP Bill Paxton. The only man to have the honor of getting 86ed by a T-800, a Xenomorph and a Predator
Lance Henriksen as well. Only thing that saved him in Aliens was not being human.
Alanda, another reaction gem! Predator 2 was so underrated. Thank you! 🙏🏿
OK, your line about K-mart is closed cracks me up. Have not seen one of those in 30-40 years but they were around when I was a child. Best line ever.
"Lil boy, get yo ass in this car!"
I can relate. 😒🤣
“Hello! This K-mart i s closing.” 🤭🤓
P2 is so underrated... Danny is Amazing as always
I say "Wants some candy?" and NO ONE knew what I referencing! Like c'mon! Its up there with "Get to the choppa!" and "I ain't got time to bleed."
That "This K-Mart is closing" was funny AF and for that alone....SUBBED
This Kmart is closing! 🤣🤣🤣
I liked this one cause it took place in the city. And I love Roger Murtough I mean Danny Glover.
Loved your reaction video! You're so cool btw.
When he take the predator's mask of and you're like 'oh don't look at the face, you're gonna be really upset' then 'oh. That looks really good.' XD
"A Predator, with a moral code, wow." Lol I love it.
Rubén Blades is a legendary “Salsa” composer and singer who also happens to have appeared in more than 40 films, including that Walking something series as Daniel Salazar. Just won another Grammy in 2021.
Disco Frisbee 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jesus your one liners are legendary! Subbed
Lmfao. "Do you have a mud mask in that trunk?"
"Disco Frisbee". Lmao.
Also, I actually liked the second one better. Love them both, but you can't beat the chaos of the city environment.
"is that mister?" omg i'm dead HA HA HA HA HA HA like you, i too was effected by his great performance in The Color Purple as a child!
Your review and voice are so sweet, it makes me “want some candy.” The only problem with the film is that it tries to be everything for everyone; the film’s tone ranges from horror to suspense to comedy to action to social satire and to goofy slapstick.
Danny Glover was a fucking boss in this film. Also: Predator + Thor = PREDATHOR.
Dad joke alert. Too funny.
@@quincyjones685 I wasn't even joking but hey, I'll take the props. Thanks Bro. 😃
I've seen this movie a dozen times , but I really enjoyed watching it with you. So perfectly beautiful! Alanda, you are a Queen.
Another best! Alanda: "Lucky you kept that frisbee!" =X-D Alanda always has the quotes and the lines!
That surprise ending was so satisfying.
"Does he have a mud mask in there?"
You know it's serious when Danny's going in with combination skin!
“Is that Mister??” I screamed 😂
Love your reactions.
The movie shines in expanding the Predator’s weapons such as an expanding/collapsing spear, a retracting net, and a flying boomerang cutting disc. The Predator trophy skull wall has some interesting items, including what seems to be a tyrannosaur-like alien head with six eye sockets.
Gordon Davis And most important of all, the skull of a XENOMORPH, which became the Easter egg that launched an entire crossover universe: Aliens Vs. Predator.
Omg you are hilarious “it’s a whole Rasta troupe” lol
Wake early before going to work. Ooh Alanda has posted a new video. Fun way to start the morning :D thank you kindly.
I recommend
Highlander just fantasy sword and magic in the 80s NYC.
I am so excited you got to watch this!! Now all you gotta do is close it out with “Predators” (2010), IMO, that’s where the trilogy ends....I can’t think of anyone who enjoyed “The Predator” from a couple of yrs ago
I did. It did make the error of trying to make the humans the focus of the film rather than the Youtja, but it still had some good predator lore in there.
Love how you quickly sussed out things about these Yautja species and their customs, like being honorable hunters and the like. As for an action movie recommendation, this one's a more subdued action movie but it's always been a big favorite of mine, and that is The Warriors (also had a damn good Playstation 2 game).
"They are screaming for their lives, the predator got that ass!" 😆 I fell out!
My favorite Alan Silvestri score, the percussions are insane.
"Not my Daniel."
As a fellow Daniel, I feel seen.
I'm here cause of ZZavid's channel reaction to Scream 3. This is one of my most favorite movies and I really enjoyed this. 🥰
See: Predator 2 Dancing Outtake
It is a gag-reel outtake from this movie and it makes everything else make total sense.
Oh god thank you. That was great.
"You'd shoot a man in the back?"
"Well, it's the safest way, isn't it?"
I loved this one! I wish they expanded more on Harrigan’s storyline.
