HELL YES! I’ve been commenting about this movie since y’all watched the first one way back 😅👍 idc what anyone says as until Prey this was my favorite Predator movie! So stoked for this one, I hope you will at least find enjoyment out of it…I’m sure you will since you guys are like me, willing to go into something not to seek flaws but it’s entertainment factor first😉👌
Predator 2 was also my favorite over part 1. Loved the fact that got to see more Predator, their tech and our first look at the Xenomoroh skull! Which was meant as an Easter egg never meant to be anything more.
If I remember the story correctly, in order to prepare for this movie, Adrien Brody basically dropped himself alone in the rainforest they were filming in, in order to get into the role. He isolated himself, read military training manuals, ate an extremely strict diet, and put on about 25lbs of muscle, all to craft the character of Royce; to make him seem naturally intense and on edge. And man, he really stands out, probably one of my favorite characters and performances in the Predators universe.
Also worth noting that Brody was primarily known as a dramatic actor. Seeing him put this kind of an effort into action films at about the time superhero films were only just starting to get this kind of effort out of their stars...I feel like it should have been a bigger deal than it was at the time.
I never knew that! I’m gonna have to look that up, that’s so interesting! Method acting is so intense. He really was the absolute standout roll of this film so it paid off!
He looked like a stringy plucked chicken, especially with his beak😂. And he badly needed a pack of sore throat lozengers. Plus Danny Trejo and Oleg Taktarov characters died pretty pathetically considering how tough they are in real life. I will say though that I really liked Laurence Fishburnes character and it was a shame he did not get more screentime.
@@TheGundamsword they are doing it right, both 2 and predators are expanding on the lore of the Yautja... and they did it right. yet they were hated, predators especially is paying homage to the original but not just for the "member berries".
My favourite scene is the fight between the Yakuza and the bad blood (Falconer). Falconer is the only predator who followed it's code of conduct despite being a bad blood.
What cracks me up about the Predators of this movie is that the director said they're essentially rebellious teens who kill for sadistic pleasure rather than honorable hunting. This is them being grounded. 😂
Atleast the second predator to die completely redeemed itself, fought hand to hand when it didn’t have to, revealed itself and let the Yakuza guy get back up to fight fairly
@@mmediocahyt1170the thing that is not honorable is the fact they kill other Predators. And also speculated they are doing unregulated genetic experimentation on themselves and each other with the prey from this game preserve which is why they look different.
@@mrdavman13 becoming a bad blood comes in many ways of ignoring their code of honor, fighting dishonorable (killing innocents, unarmed, cloaking in a duel, killing other yautjas and more)
I got to meet Danny Trejo briefly at Scarefest back in 2016(ish?). He was rushing down a side hall we were in to an event he was running late for. I exclaimed "Danny Trejo!" and his face lit up. He still stopped for 30 seconds with a warm smile and handshakes, giving us well wishes to enjoy our time there, and he was gone again. He was my first celebrity meet and greet and he set a high bar for the rest.
It's because it's essentially a rework of the original. Much like the new Star Trek and Force Awakens, they took the original story and made a few changes and then promoted it as "fresh" and original.
The weird alien creature from the cage is actually an easter egg. It's the original design for the 1987 Predator film that was eventually rejected and made more humanoid. JCVD was signed on to play this version of the Predator, but quit when he realised his face would be covered for the whole film!
That, and the fact that the original design in action looked downright terrible in the dailies and McTiernan and Fox were not happy with it. Glad Stan Winston got involved and changed it completely to the iconic creature it is now.
@@alucard624 At about 5 feet 9 inches tall,Van Damme is shorter than Schwarzenegger,Ventura,Landham ,Weathers and Duke so they chose someone with an imposing presence to play the Predator.Kevin Peter Hall...
Allegedly, the casting call went out specifically looking for a “Danny Trejo type,” and when Danny saw the call, he went to his agent and said “Why haven’t you put me up for this?”
@@exoterric if the casting director wanted the type, why not ask Robert Rodriguez, who was a producer. I imagine the two of them have an old school two cans and a string method of communication.
If you wanna know what happened to Royce and Isabel after the movie ends, in the video game Predator: Hunting Grounds in the collectible audio files there is a debriefing of Isabel (and it’s the same actress Alice Braga) when she gets back to Earth on what happened before and after the events of the movie. Apparently before the next hunt began, they found the ship of the next squad of predators, but it was not cloaked, and the doors were open. Before Royce set foot on it, a bag was dropped from the trees in front of Royce, inside was a set of Predator armor and weapons, that were made to fit a human! Essentially an invitation from the Predators (likely the good ones) to join their clan as a *Human Predator*. Isabel knew that Royce loved hunting and killing more than anything, so he put on the armor and weapons, turned on the cloak, and disappeared into the forest. Leaving Isabel to use the ship to get back to Earth. I really recommend you look them up on TH-cam and react to them because also has Arnold Schwarzenegger himself in character as Dutch using audio diaries to say what happened to him after Predator and where he is now, and it’s absolutely amazing.
@@SecondSince I agree that the 1st one is the best but I really cant decide between this and Prey. I respect both for trying to do something new, they went very different ways but I think both are great.
Criminally underrated movie, All-star cast including two academy award winners, 4 predators, new Alien species, lore and a predator claws vs a katana,and yet some people say that prey is better than this one , shame.
I mean they aren’t necessarily wrong, this and prey are my favorites of the films, I always felt this one was underated or I didn’t hear about it much ( I don’t remember if they saw prey yet so let’s not go into detail, just wanted to say I’m a fan of both films ❤)
The scene with the dead soldier that you indicated might be a chest burster reference. That was actually an "homage" to the original Predator movie, where Blain was killed by the Predator's "Energy based" weapon that entered his back and came through his chest.
I'd seen this movie a few times before I spotted it, and I don't know how many others caught it. When we're introduced to Topher hanging by his parachute, he says he's got nothing to cut himself down with. Then when the Spetznaz finds that poisonous flower, he pulls out a scalpel kit to collect the poison. Yeah, it's not a field knife, but it would've gotten the job done. This is a hint that he's not what he appears to be.
The reveal that Topher is a serial killer and THAT'S why they chose him is still amazing. It almost makes sense that he's a doctor and THAT'S why they chose him for a combat unit, but then you get the reveal and you realize he's just as much of a predator as the others. He's just more quiet about it. Stealthier. This movie is honestly way too underrated. It's got characters you love to watch. The action is solid. The effects are good. And can I say that after watching The Pianist I would NOT have pegged Adrian Brody for "action star."
Adrian Brody won the Best Acting Oscar in the same year that Daniel Day Lewis was nominated. I think people ought to have believed in him a bit more when this movie was released.
No chest bursters...it's a reference to first movie with Jesse Ventura. Remember he gets laser blasted by predator. It's puts a huge hole in his chest. He was shot from behind so rib bones exploded forward
The creature used as bait with Topher Grace's character is actually a nod to the original design of the Predator. When Jean-Claude Van Damme was first cast as the Predator, this was the look they initially went with. However, during filming, both Van Damme and the design were scrapped. Kevin Peter Hall, known for Harry and the Hendersons, was brought in to play the Predator, and the iconic creature design we know today was created by Stan Winston. I'm a nerd.
These Predators are Bad Bloods, they don't follow the code, they kill for fun and for power, to show they're the superior hunters because they aren't limited by pride and honor.
This started out as the third Predator movie. Robert Rodriguez wrote the script for it back in the mid 1990's. But Fox wouldn't make the movie because they considered the script to be too expensive. Fifteen years later, the studio finally decided they wanted to do his script.
Ahhh it’s happening!!! This movie is a gem 💎 an underrated masterpiece!!! Fun fact: In the comics, you find out that Royce and Isabelle actually get together.
In the video game predator hunting grounds also explains their fate through audio logs and Isabella is a playable character Her and Royce eventually found a predator Landing station but Royce’s time on the planet changed him and he decided he wanted to go meet the predators, Isabella begged him not to but he left so sorry to say but they eventually broke up😢 Isabella made it back to earth and is now a member of the O.W.L.F. and now hunts predators, we still don’t know what happened to Royce but the game is getting future updates so maybe one day we’ll find out his fate The game also reveals what happened to Dutch after Predator
This film is somewhat overlooked but I think it’s a really good one in the overall franchise. It has the spirit of the first film, especially with the recurring score and random comedic moments. Glad to see you guys reacting to this one!
If you pay attention to his character, when Royce has time to think he is self serving and tends to be willing to sacrifice others but when he has no time his instinct is to help the others
The Predator: hunting ground game also continues Isabel's story (and Dutch) with the actors reprising their roles. In terms of canon, the films are hard canon, I'd say the game is secondary canon and the comic tertiary canon if not outright rendered non canon by the game. I haven't read the comic but Isabel isn't seen in it is she?
can we just admire how Adrien Brody got jacked and became an unrealized action hero. I would have to say this wasn't exactly the best action movie but it proves that this dude has more chops than people gave him credit for. Dude proclaimed he wasn't about to be pigeon hold to playing only soft or brooding dramatic and rom/com roles but can actually throw down if needed.
@@mezmerized4lifejay654 I see Unfortunate that it doesn't look like it. A Xeno Queen jaw bone would have roughly fit in size, but not the teeth lenght either Eh...
Truly the most underrated predator film, 2nd or 3rd best for me. Btw the reason his chest is blown open is because of the predators plasma caster, like how Jessie Ventura died in the original.
This was the first time we were introduced to another race of Predators. The so called Super Predators which are larger, tougher, and generally much more exaggerated than the well known variety.
As a veteran, i feel it's necessary to point out that dying with an ammo reserve is not tactically viable. There's a reason everyone carries a knife/bayonet/tomahawk.
It's interesting that Laurence Fishburne did the 'Flight of the Valkyries', given that he was only 17 years old when he starred in Apocalypse Now. Also his character in Predators was in the Air Cavalry before getting dropped into the game reserve, and gives off the same nutty vibes as Marlon Brando's character Colonel Kurtz from Apocalypse Now.
@@GreyDoofus88 duuuuuuuude! Never crossed my mind. That is one hell of an Easter Egg/homage/cross over and I never would have caught it myself. You're a high class nerd.
30:10 The tune that he’s singing is Ride of the Valkyries, made famous in the movie Apocalypse Now. A very young Lawrence Fishburne had a supporting role in that movie as Tyrone Miller, one of the soldiers on the boat with Martin Sheen’s character.
Damn yall two are like a CURSE. Whenever you drop a movie I'm interested in I just have to drop ANYTHING I'm doing and immediately go binge watch the whole video :D love yall thanks for doing the Alien / Predator franchise it means a lot to me
Only 17 minutes in, you've already made two references to two of my favorite movies: “What's in the box?” and “What do you mean, those people?” I really appreciate that :D
I saw this about 8 yrs ago, but it was so much more fun watching it WITH u 2. It was interesting that you asked why they were fighting each other when they're the same species.... um look at us humans, non stop at war all over our planet. Loved this flick
The real name for the species of the predators is Yautja, and just found out there’s two new predator movies being made, badlands being based in the future and prey 2 which will be set during world war 2! There’s also a lot of references in this movie to the original in most of the scenes.
WW2 would be a fantastic setting, I've always thought WW2 would be a great setting for a vampire movie, mainly because any time I watch a modern day vampire movie I always wonder what they got up to during the war in Europe since it would have been a time where people were dying every day and so no one is going to call a death mysterious, WW2 would have been an all-you-can-eat/kill buffet for a vampire or predator. Really gonna look forward to Prey 2!
@@krashdwhen it comes to vampire movies and shows they are always apart of some type of war but I don’t think I’ve seen WW2 either that would be a good setting
I’ve been super excited for more movies I don’t know about anybody else but I loved 2018 predator they weren’t going on strength anymore but smarts which makes sense because that’s pretty much how you defeat them in earlier films you had to outsmart them vs just using force. I knew we would get another prey movie just wasn’t sure of the setting so hearing it could be set in WW2 is actually pretty cool.
Fun fact: the ending was supposed to be different, when they walk into the clearing a ship was supposed to land with Dutch (Arnold) coming up to them and saying "do you want to do it for real now?" Thus following the original cannon where honored humans are allowed to join on hunts. This was scrapped due to issues with Arnold Schwarzenegger's availability.
Hanzo's last stand with the "Falconer" Predator reminds me of Billy in the Original 1987 Predator movie where he stand his ground against the Predator. The only difference is that Hanzo put up a good fight and actually killed a Predator
The main Bad Blood Predator is called the Berserker Predator. The one with the flying drones that fought the guy with a sword in the field is a Falconer Predator, and the one with tusks in its helmet with the war dogs is the Tracker Predator.
Underrated movie; probably not made for award winning, but it is still enjoyable. Thanks for bringing it to the channel ^^ *Proceeds to run for popcorn and brb*
Always a pleasure to see your videos I know you probably hear this alot because it's true you two get me through my bad days. I love how every movie you react to you two have an open mind and put yourself in their shoes and look at both sides of story. You two really are the best and I'm glad I found you both much love keep it up ❤
The showdown between the yakuza and the scout predator was the main thing that convinced me that Prey 2 should be set in Feudal Japan. Imagine how cool predators vs samurai warriors would be ...
@@JuntosXlaLibertadMileyBuIIrich agree I would love to see a predator warrior against a human warrior with swords ⚔️ that would be cool Honor on both sides 😁
For a bit of context The three predators Beserker also known as Mr black or super black he was the one responsible for the kidnapping of the deadliest members of different species and he is one of the youngest yaujta to kill Xenomorph. Tracker also known as flusher he is the handler of the dogs which they flush out prey during the game “hunt” Falconer uses a bird like falcon to scout ahead to scout any prey They are bad bloods which mean they don’t follow the honor code. They will kill anything with overwhelm force and even though the prey don’t pose any threat. They are super predators which mean they are bigger,stronger, and more aggressive then the jungle hunter style type. They have a more streamlined head with swept back dreadlocks. They were in a blood feud with the jungle hunter style type for centuries it began with the nightstorm predator. An ancient predator who thought the honor code let prey far to more leeway and he united all super predators under his command. The planet they were on was the game preserve planet the bad bloods were sent there for a punishment because they broke the yaujta honor code.
@@exoterric yea I get the two mixed up sometimes but falconer isn’t a bad blood though because he fought yakuza in a fair match. But it says the trio was all bad bloods so I don’t know if he is a “bad blood”.
@@daedaedaboss335I forget where the statement is but I read somewhere that falconer was still quite young, around the same age as the trio from avp so he still had somewhat of an honor system left and was not corrupted by berserker or the others just yet
this particular story was based on one of the publish comic from dark horse comic, they do kinda explain what happens to royce and isabelle after the end of movie, if you're interested at the lore.
My absolute favorite of the franchise but sadly underrated. So just know, if they follow the lore of the last video game Hunting Ground, (wich is canon) with this story, we can had back Arnold for a future sequel.
That part when they both said “If it bleeds you can kill it” part before they start to watch was a badass way to start the reaction 🔥 I’m a recent subscriber and every film you have all watched has been a classic and always cool to watch both of your reactions too
Hi Ari and Denise, So happy I gotta see your reaction to predators finally :)) The Predator's names are tracker falconer and berserker!!! Plus i was berserker predator for Halloween 2 years , I still have the costume right now. Ron vs berserker predator is my favorite part !! Also I hope the predator 2018 is your next on the list because you too must see the new new predator. Is the predator 2018 reaction coming ?!!
Easily my second favourite Predator film. This film kept the feel and gave us SO much more interesting lore and grew the threat and scope of things in a similar way to how *_Aliens_* did from the original *_Alien_* movie. While *_Prey_* & *_Predator 2_* were also really solid, I appreciate the way that this one did something REALLY different from the format and made all of its characters - who are objectively dangerous people who would likely be villains in any other movie - into memorable individuals that you care about whenever something happens to them, because you see those little moments of humanity in them... which makes the serial killer reveal even better in juxtaposition to teaming up with the normal Predator. That's always how I felt that the two different types of Predator behave: To the regular ones we're also potentially something to be honored for winning a hunt, whereas to the bigger ones, we're just something that they need to get better to kill. Essentially Predators just being all about the difference between hunters & murderers for the aliens AND the humans makes the title just perfect.
This is very underrated movie. As a die hard predator 1 and 2 fan when this came out and i heard Adrien Brody is gonna be protagonist i was a bit sceptical but he badass with that automatic shotgun! I only wish danny trejo survived longer
Nobody's mentioned it yet, but you described the spike pit as like in that Tomb Raider game, you may notice that some of Lara's outfits in the 2013 game are in fact based on the Predator movies. Her Guerrilla outfit is Adrian Brody's from this movie, and her Hunter outfit is Arnie's from the first movie.
Think practically or emotionally? To me, that was what was keeping Royce alive....his control of emotions. He wants to help. You can see his empathy shine in pockets of the movie. Hes a deep wound, ole Roycy boy.
In the comic *Predators: Preserve The Game,* a one-shot comic sequel to this movie, Royce and Isabelle survived for more than two months in the planet. They were fighting against all sorts of creatures including a four-armed Yautja mutant which they defeated. At some point the Predators 'awarded' Royce a set of Yautja hunting gear: cloaking device, biomask, armor, etc. At the end Royce managed to rigged a ship and sent Isabelle back to Earth while he stayed back in the planet, wanting to face the Predator overlords. Epic, bro.
NICE! I watched this on DVD on my birthday with my parents when I went to Walmart and bought this! A sequel was considered and it was going to be "DIE HARD on a spaceship" where Royce and Isabelle as well as their human and alien counterparts fight off the Predators and hijack their space craft in order to make their way back to Earth, and when they arrive, they are shocked to learn that they been away from Earth for 200 years. Hicks from the ALIEN movies was going to have a cameo, asking for their help to fight the Xenomorph. Sadly it was cancelled due to the FOX/Disney merger. It would have been awesome to see.
You guys HAVE TO watch "Pandorum" if you haven't already, as fans of good spooky sci fi you will love it trust me!! 🥰 if you like Predators, Aliens, Event Horizon... Pandorum is another perfect and less known one
Just FYI, Derek Mears played the smaller Predator in this movie. He will be in Las Vegas, NV. on Jan. 17 to 19, 2025, in the "Days of the Dead" convention signing autographs and taking photos with fans. As well as dozens of other celebrities.
ah yes, Predators!! i still don't understand the hate this movie got AND still gets, people still like to smash this movie to bits and i absolutely don't get it. every time i rewatch it i like it more and more, i love how every character is so despicable in their own ways, but they all play a part and get kinda redeemed by just being team players in this sick hunt. also, everyone complained about Adrien Brody, but hell nah he KILLED IT, he was a totally unexpected badass in this film and him alongside Isabelle became two of my favorite Predator protagonists :D thanks for watching it y'all, this was great as always!!
When you pointed to the back of your head when talking about the feeling of being watched, I couldn’t relate more. It’s like a pressure feeling at the base of your skull, it’s the wildest sensation.
Iconic love it 4 predator Awesome cast The backstory of how Dutch beat the predator Glad you both love it so much You both are awesome adorable together basically the best couple reaction ever
So glad you guys enjoyed this! Its my favourite predator movie yet. The cast, film setting, effects and story are all well done. Im disappointed they never did a direct sequel.
@@idiot_city5444 Predator 2 looked cheap, and mediocre compared to the original, only memorable thing in that movie was the bathroom scene. Predators had a more interesting idea and was better executed.
@@idiot_city5444 so just because the original suit actor was in Predator 2 automatically makes it better? Oooookay, no offense to the late Kevin Peter Hall, but that does not make Predator 2 better. I think you need to study more on Production and film making my friend. Yeah Predators may have done some obvious nods to the original, but hey so did Predator 2. Plus a Predator being struck by lightning has to be one of the goofiest things I’ve seen in my life. Again I personally think Predators was the better movie.
@@idiot_city5444 and very telling how you try to prove yours is superior simply because a late suit actor stared in said movie. Never mind all the the tongue in cheek effects that movie had as well as copying things from the original.
The predator at theend is called Berserker and he was the youngest of his kind to ever kill a xenomorphs, also super-predators are soposably less strict about their code than the OGs.
Man, it's hard to believe how strong the Predators are. In order to rip your spin out like that it would take ruffly 3,000 newtons of force. Thats the equivalents of being hit by a 500lb object at 30mph.
Hey guys. Great video as always! Maybe for your Media Knights 2.0 channel you could react to a video from Sci-Fi Infinity called “The Predator Species Biology and Culture Explained”. It answers a lot of your questions about the lore and differences between different Predators etc.
The latina woman Alice Braga has a show called “Queen of the south” and she absolutely kills it and the show is amazing. A drug cartel based show. I’d love to see y’all react to it.
@@OfficialMediaKnights dude I only know him as a romcom actor! But Jesus jumping Christ his scrappy ass got skinny-swole for this movie and I am here for it.
there is actually a comic telling the after story of Royce and Isabel if your interested. also when they found the traps with the army body and the predator was able to get past the traps to kill him it proves they have adapted to jungle traps since arnie's time.
I got to attend the attend the red carpet premier and after party with the cast and crew of this film, in Austin in 2010. This was shot at and around Austin area at Robert Rodriguez's studios. As a lifelong fan of this franchise, it was a dream come true.
Another predator movie that was underrated. Like you say, its not going to win any awards but it was far from terrible, it just gave us more information on the predators and continued their legacy. Just as @Suthius85 says, these predators were bio-engineered, a rogue outfit, not part of the usual predator society. I don't have as much information as Suthius85, but im willing to bet that this outfit was seen as artificial, being genetically enhanced is not exactly honorable and an unfair advantage, it probably wouldnt have sat well with the predators as a whole. It makes sense that they would be in a small civil war i suppose. Anyway, really glad to be on the predator journey with you, its nice to see you enjoying them. Much love from the UK.
Exactly! This movie delivered exactly what it intended to deliver, a fun time. That adds a bit of context to why there would be conflict to begin with! Thank you for watching this with us. Sending all the love to the UK ❤️
This is by far my favourite film in the franchise. It takes what made the first one great and builds upon it. Billy's death in Predator is off screen and it doesn't do the character justice. In this one we get the stand-off between the Yakuza guy and the pred and it's everything Billy deserved. I watch this movie on a semi-regular basis. Never gets old
The scene I like in this movie is when Edwin tells Royce that he is a good man, and Royce replies with regret that he is not a good man. This shows that Royce had done some bad things in his life that are unforgivable and couldn't take it back, and that he will never forgive himself.
Isabelle correctly guessed that he is black ops, that means doing things where if you get caught your government disavows any knowledge of you because you've been asked to do things that the geneva convention or human rights groups would frown upon. So he's likely killed a few union leaders or third world politicians, Jason Bourne stuff.
I remember coming home on my last day of school before the summer break and watching this movie. Don't remember what grade that was, but such a warm memory. It's sunny outside, I'm watching Adrien Brody beating the hell out of a predator, feeling good cause there are three months of freedom ahead of me.
according to the comics, they end up sending a predator suit for Royce (Brody) to use and then release a genetically modified 4 armed predator to kill him, in the end, The girl ends up on a ship back to earth and Brody goes on a different ship to find the predator planet, this is because they were there for so long that Brody thinks he is not mentally fit to go back to earth
I always took the name of the movie to not only talk about the aliens but refers to the humans as predators too. Thats why the name has an s in it...thats why topher grace is there bc hes a killer doctor

He looked like a stringy plucked chicken, especially with his beak😂. And he badly needed a pack of sore throat lozengers.

Pretty sure its more than because he wasn't an action actor.
These Predators are called as Bad Bloods. They are rejected by their clans for violating the Hunter's Code of Honor.

What cracks me up about the Predators of this movie is that the director said they're essentially rebellious teens who kill for sadistic pleasure rather than honorable hunting.
This is them being grounded. 😂
Atleast the second predator to die completely redeemed itself, fought hand to hand when it didn’t have to, revealed itself and let the Yakuza guy get back up to fight fairly
@@mmediocahyt1170the thing that is not honorable is the fact they kill other Predators. And also speculated they are doing unregulated genetic experimentation on themselves and each other with the prey from this game preserve which is why they look different.
Doesn't make much sense when the one fighting the Yakuza gave him multiple chances to get back to his feet.

I got to meet Danny Trejo briefly at Scarefest back in 2016(ish?). He was rushing down a side hall we were in to an event he was running late for. I exclaimed "Danny Trejo!" and his face lit up. He still stopped for 30 seconds with a warm smile and handshakes, giving us well wishes to enjoy our time there, and he was gone again. He was my first celebrity meet and greet and he set a high bar for the rest.
lol he's just genuinely a great dude , really down to earth and doesn't really flex his celebrity
Not sure why this movie gets so much hate. It's actually really fun and a tribute to the first movie
It's because it's essentially a rework of the original. Much like the new Star Trek and Force Awakens, they took the original story and made a few changes and then promoted it as "fresh" and original.
@@moondog3056still better than any avp movie
@@gergopiroska5749 And LOADS better than that 2018 monstrosity! If i could erase a movie from existence that would be high on the list!
I don't mind it I just hate how they dick on the Original Predator design. It feels like they are saying "our Predator is better than the original."
@@gergopiroska5749nope even close 😂 AVP was good but this one....
The weird alien creature from the cage is actually an easter egg. It's the original design for the 1987 Predator film that was eventually rejected and made more humanoid. JCVD was signed on to play this version of the Predator, but quit when he realised his face would be covered for the whole film!
That, and the fact that the original design in action looked downright terrible in the dailies and McTiernan and Fox were not happy with it. Glad Stan Winston got involved and changed it completely to the iconic creature it is now.
@@alucard624 At about 5 feet 9 inches tall,Van Damme is shorter than Schwarzenegger,Ventura,Landham ,Weathers and Duke so they chose someone with an imposing presence to play the Predator.Kevin Peter Hall...
And those aliens are the ones who slave the Yautja (Predator species) for a long time till they take power and steal all the tech from them
cool.
The Feral Predator from Prey also used the skull of one of the creatures as its mask.
Allegedly, the casting call went out specifically looking for a “Danny Trejo type,” and when Danny saw the call, he went to his agent and said “Why haven’t you put me up for this?”
@@robfarleyli if that's true, that's F'n hilarious. What idiot thought there was someone who could out Danny the actual Danny Trejo?
@@exoterric if the casting director wanted the type, why not ask Robert Rodriguez, who was a producer. I imagine the two of them have an old school two cans and a string method of communication.
The tag line for this movie was "This is the sequel that 'Predator' deserves" - and I totally agree...
@@SuperiorlySubversiveExcept for The Predator. We don't talk about that one lol
@@SolidSnake240 nope, we dont. And that list above is solid.
If you wanna know what happened to Royce and Isabel after the movie ends, in the video game Predator: Hunting Grounds in the collectible audio files there is a debriefing of Isabel (and it’s the same actress Alice Braga) when she gets back to Earth on what happened before and after the events of the movie. Apparently before the next hunt began, they found the ship of the next squad of predators, but it was not cloaked, and the doors were open. Before Royce set foot on it, a bag was dropped from the trees in front of Royce, inside was a set of Predator armor and weapons, that were made to fit a human! Essentially an invitation from the Predators (likely the good ones) to join their clan as a *Human Predator*. Isabel knew that Royce loved hunting and killing more than anything, so he put on the armor and weapons, turned on the cloak, and disappeared into the forest. Leaving Isabel to use the ship to get back to Earth.
I really recommend you look them up on TH-cam and react to them because also has Arnold Schwarzenegger himself in character as Dutch using audio diaries to say what happened to him after Predator and where he is now, and it’s absolutely amazing.
Oh my God that is awesome I never thought of looking up to see what happened after this movie but that is exceptional lore
So how did she fly an alien ship back to earth.
@@musshonest871 she didn’t, it was on auto pilot, she just had to live on what little food and water she gathered until she landed on earth.
Good to know they both actually survive
@@thedarkknight2221 if it was on auto pilot it would fly back to the predator world wouldn’t it
This is actually one of the better movies in the franchise. Underrated.
I'd say the third best, after the first one and Prey.
@@SecondSince I agree that the 1st one is the best but I really cant decide between this and Prey. I respect both for trying to do something new, they went very different ways but I think both are great.
Criminally underrated movie, All-star cast including two academy award winners, 4 predators, new Alien species, lore and a predator claws vs a katana,and yet some people say that prey is better than this one , shame.
I mean they aren’t necessarily wrong, this and prey are my favorites of the films, I always felt this one was underated or I didn’t hear about it much ( I don’t remember if they saw prey yet so let’s not go into detail, just wanted to say I’m a fan of both films ❤)
I like both but enjoy prey more.
Prey is better, but this is easily the next best after it and the OG.
@@afroahmed3989 IMO Prey is an equally good movie in general, but this one gets the chef's kiss for being so loyal to the style of the original.
I give this one the edge over prey. Better story, characters, and effects. Prey was entertaining, but the bad cgi kept taking me out of the movie.
This is still my favorite predator film. It's awesome seeing new kinds of predators
It was cool getting to explore a bit more of the lore! The Yautja are awesome!
Bill Cosby
@@OfficialMediaKnights yes they are
Same!
Underrated! Adrian Brody’s weird casting as a “badass” lead, but I thought it fit the offbeat casting of the original film.
It was a bold choice for sure! But we loved brooding Brody haha
He was the same in King Kong, he was made for this type of role
Yes 3rd best predator film
This movie going in 🗑️ Only this three predator take spot to shine and two of them die like paper 😂😂😂😂 stop give credits for copy movie!
@@Time4utubenever 😂 top 3 predator movie Predator 1987, Prey and Predator 2!
The scene with the dead soldier that you indicated might be a chest burster reference. That was actually an "homage" to the original Predator movie, where Blain was killed by the Predator's "Energy based" weapon that entered his back and came through his chest.
I'd seen this movie a few times before I spotted it, and I don't know how many others caught it. When we're introduced to Topher hanging by his parachute, he says he's got nothing to cut himself down with. Then when the Spetznaz finds that poisonous flower, he pulls out a scalpel kit to collect the poison. Yeah, it's not a field knife, but it would've gotten the job done. This is a hint that he's not what he appears to be.
I love that he was the ultimate predator of humans....a serial killer. Such a good twist.
Never understood why this movie doesn't get more love.
I only recently discovered the Predator gurgle-click noise is Peter Cullen aka Optimus Prime!!
The reveal that Topher is a serial killer and THAT'S why they chose him is still amazing. It almost makes sense that he's a doctor and THAT'S why they chose him for a combat unit, but then you get the reveal and you realize he's just as much of a predator as the others. He's just more quiet about it. Stealthier. This movie is honestly way too underrated. It's got characters you love to watch. The action is solid. The effects are good. And can I say that after watching The Pianist I would NOT have pegged Adrian Brody for "action star."
Yeah, when all the other guys the Predators picked are beefy warriors & killers, you should probably be wary of the skinny quiet dude...
Adrian Brody won the Best Acting Oscar in the same year that Daniel Day Lewis was nominated. I think people ought to have believed in him a bit more when this movie was released.
Also the fact that it’s Topher Grace that played the role. Who would have suspected him to be a serial killer when he’s Eric from That 70’s Show?
No chest bursters...it's a reference to first movie with Jesse Ventura. Remember he gets laser blasted by predator. It's puts a huge hole in his chest. He was shot from behind so rib bones exploded forward
Ahh right... good catch..
The creature used as bait with Topher Grace's character is actually a nod to the original design of the Predator. When Jean-Claude Van Damme was first cast as the Predator, this was the look they initially went with. However, during filming, both Van Damme and the design were scrapped. Kevin Peter Hall, known for Harry and the Hendersons, was brought in to play the Predator, and the iconic creature design we know today was created by Stan Winston. I'm a nerd.
When I heard you say Eddie Brock, I was thinking "Tom Hardy isn't in this movie." Then simultaneously realizing, "ohhhh, she meant Eric Foreman" 😂
These Predators are Bad Bloods, they don't follow the code, they kill for fun and for power, to show they're the superior hunters because they aren't limited by pride and honor.
This started out as the third Predator movie. Robert Rodriguez wrote the script for it back in the mid 1990's. But Fox wouldn't make the movie because they considered the script to be too expensive. Fifteen years later, the studio finally decided they wanted to do his script.
Ahhh it’s happening!!! This movie is a gem 💎 an underrated masterpiece!!!
Fun fact: In the comics, you find out that Royce and Isabelle actually get together.
Thank you for giving us that closure! Haha Happy to see you enjoyed this❤️
In the video game predator hunting grounds also explains their fate through audio logs and Isabella is a playable character
Her and Royce eventually found a predator Landing station but Royce’s time on the planet changed him and he decided he wanted to go meet the predators, Isabella begged him not to but he left so sorry to say but they eventually broke up😢
Isabella made it back to earth and is now a member of the O.W.L.F. and now hunts predators, we still don’t know what happened to Royce but the game is getting future updates so maybe one day we’ll find out his fate
The game also reveals what happened to Dutch after Predator
This film is somewhat overlooked but I think it’s a really good one in the overall franchise. It has the spirit of the first film, especially with the recurring score and random comedic moments. Glad to see you guys reacting to this one!
Spirit of the first??? No dude this movie just copy first one difference was +3 bad blood predator's
@@Pavel.Balevski u mad bro?
If you pay attention to his character, when Royce has time to think he is self serving and tends to be willing to sacrifice others but when he has no time his instinct is to help the others
Predators: Surviving Life is the sequel comic showing what happened to Royce and Isabelle.
The Predator: hunting ground game also continues Isabel's story (and Dutch) with the actors reprising their roles. In terms of canon, the films are hard canon, I'd say the game is secondary canon and the comic tertiary canon if not outright rendered non canon by the game. I haven't read the comic but Isabel isn't seen in it is she?
@@valeria262 Isabelle is in it yes.
@donnyc99 does anything from the game contradict anything from the comic that you know of?
can we just admire how Adrien Brody got jacked and became an unrealized action hero. I would have to say this wasn't exactly the best action movie but it proves that this dude has more chops than people gave him credit for. Dude proclaimed he wasn't about to be pigeon hold to playing only soft or brooding dramatic and rom/com roles but can actually throw down if needed.
Underrated movie, the franchise exploring that planet was phenomenal.🤝🏼
It’s a cool concept and they kept the pace going! We thought it was a fun one 😄
Fun fact: The Beserker Predator has an Alien Jaw bone on his helmet
Looks a bit too wide for an Alien jaw bone. Plus there are teeth further back, which aliens do not have (only on the front of their snout)
@@Abi-chanFictionFan Just going by behind the scenes etc. It’s supposed to be an alien jaw regardless of the size or shape isn’t correct
@@mezmerized4lifejay654 I see
Unfortunate that it doesn't look like it. A Xeno Queen jaw bone would have roughly fit in size, but not the teeth lenght either
Eh...
Maybe it was an alien born from a different creature? They do after all take on some features from whatever their host may be.
@@TG-pq2dh You know what ? Good point ! I didn't even think about that possibility
Truly the most underrated predator film, 2nd or 3rd best for me. Btw the reason his chest is blown open is because of the predators plasma caster, like how Jessie Ventura died in the original.
This was the first time we were introduced to another race of Predators. The so called Super Predators which are larger, tougher, and generally much more exaggerated than the well known variety.
they are not another race, they are all Yautja after all. they are a subspecies:)
As a veteran, i feel it's necessary to point out that dying with an ammo reserve is not tactically viable. There's a reason everyone carries a knife/bayonet/tomahawk.
@@diojiabunai YUUUUUT Gotdang right troop.
It's interesting that Laurence Fishburne did the 'Flight of the Valkyries', given that he was only 17 years old when he starred in Apocalypse Now. Also his character in Predators was in the Air Cavalry before getting dropped into the game reserve, and gives off the same nutty vibes as Marlon Brando's character Colonel Kurtz from Apocalypse Now.
@@GreyDoofus88 duuuuuuuude! Never crossed my mind. That is one hell of an Easter Egg/homage/cross over and I never would have caught it myself. You're a high class nerd.
@@exoterric I'm not the only one I hope.
30:10 The tune that he’s singing is Ride of the Valkyries, made famous in the movie Apocalypse Now. A very young Lawrence Fishburne had a supporting role in that movie as Tyrone Miller, one of the soldiers on the boat with Martin Sheen’s character.
Damn yall two are like a CURSE. Whenever you drop a movie I'm interested in I just have to drop ANYTHING I'm doing and immediately go binge watch the whole video :D love yall thanks for doing the Alien / Predator franchise it means a lot to me
You guys are the best! Thank you for being so freakin’ awesome 😄
@@usernamenotavailablee good motivation to get on it😋
Only 17 minutes in, you've already made two references to two of my favorite movies: “What's in the box?” and “What do you mean, those people?”
I really appreciate that :D
I saw this about 8 yrs ago, but it was so much more fun watching it WITH u 2. It was interesting that you asked why they were fighting each other when they're the same species.... um look at us humans, non stop at war all over our planet. Loved this flick
Twist of the movie, Topher Grace was the ultimate Predator
I love that Brody nailed this movie, he was awesome in this! He almost sounds like Logan in X-Men and I never realized that until now. 😅
"Never wound what you can't kill"
- Eddie Brock, Spider-Man 3.
Seems even more fitting in this movie 😆
Fun fact: Fishburne sang "Flight of the Valkyrie". It was used in the film "Apocalypse Now". That was the second movie he was in at only 17 years old.
Hell yeah, one of the best Predator movies
The real name for the species of the predators is Yautja, and just found out there’s two new predator movies being made, badlands being based in the future and prey 2 which will be set during world war 2! There’s also a lot of references in this movie to the original in most of the scenes.
WW2 would be a fantastic setting, I've always thought WW2 would be a great setting for a vampire movie, mainly because any time I watch a modern day vampire movie I always wonder what they got up to during the war in Europe since it would have been a time where people were dying every day and so no one is going to call a death mysterious, WW2 would have been an all-you-can-eat/kill buffet for a vampire or predator. Really gonna look forward to Prey 2!
@@krashdsame with ww1
@@krashdwhen it comes to vampire movies and shows they are always apart of some type of war but I don’t think I’ve seen WW2 either that would be a good setting
I’ve been super excited for more movies I don’t know about anybody else but I loved 2018 predator they weren’t going on strength anymore but smarts which makes sense because that’s pretty much how you defeat them in earlier films you had to outsmart them vs just using force. I knew we would get another prey movie just wasn’t sure of the setting so hearing it could be set in WW2 is actually pretty cool.
Fun fact: the ending was supposed to be different, when they walk into the clearing a ship was supposed to land with Dutch (Arnold) coming up to them and saying "do you want to do it for real now?" Thus following the original cannon where honored humans are allowed to join on hunts. This was scrapped due to issues with Arnold Schwarzenegger's availability.
Hanzo's last stand with the "Falconer" Predator reminds me of Billy in the Original 1987 Predator movie where he stand his ground against the Predator. The only difference is that Hanzo put up a good fight and actually killed a Predator
The main Bad Blood Predator is called the Berserker Predator. The one with the flying drones that fought the guy with a sword in the field is a Falconer Predator, and the one with tusks in its helmet with the war dogs is the Tracker Predator.
Underrated movie; probably not made for award winning, but it is still enjoyable. Thanks for bringing it to the channel ^^ *Proceeds to run for popcorn and brb*
Always a pleasure to see your videos I know you probably hear this alot because it's true you two get me through my bad days. I love how every movie you react to you two have an open mind and put yourself in their shoes and look at both sides of story. You two really are the best and I'm glad I found you both much love keep it up ❤
It means a lot to us, truly. We’re so glad and grateful we get to entertain you. Thank you for watching ❤️
This is the most underrated film in the franchise.
The showdown between the yakuza and the scout predator was the main thing that convinced me that Prey 2 should be set in Feudal Japan. Imagine how cool predators vs samurai warriors would be ...
Oh yes we totally need a hollywood movie set in ancient japan, with a big and diverse cast of african american actors, of course
@@JuntosXlaLibertadMileyBuIIrich agree I would love to see a predator warrior against a human warrior with swords ⚔️ that would be cool Honor on both sides 😁
Btw the scout predator is often referred to as the Falconer
This movie is awesome! I remember going as the Berserker Predator for Halloween!
For a bit of context
The three predators
Beserker also known as Mr black or super black he was the one responsible for the kidnapping of the deadliest members of different species and he is one of the youngest yaujta to kill Xenomorph.
Tracker also known as flusher he is the handler of the dogs which they flush out prey during the game “hunt”
Falconer uses a bird like falcon to scout ahead to scout any prey
They are bad bloods which mean they don’t follow the honor code. They will kill anything with overwhelm force and even though the prey don’t pose any threat.
They are super predators which mean they are bigger,stronger, and more aggressive then the jungle hunter style type. They have a more streamlined head with swept back dreadlocks. They were in a blood feud with the jungle hunter style type for centuries it began with the nightstorm predator. An ancient predator who thought the honor code let prey far to more leeway and he united all super predators under his command. The planet they were on was the game preserve planet the bad bloods were sent there for a punishment because they broke the yaujta honor code.
@@daedaedaboss335 "Bad Bloods" that's the term I was looking for. I kept thinking "unblooded" but that's the AVP ones
@@exoterric yea I get the two mixed up sometimes but falconer isn’t a bad blood though because he fought yakuza in a fair match. But it says the trio was all bad bloods so I don’t know if he is a “bad blood”.
@@daedaedaboss335I forget where the statement is but I read somewhere that falconer was still quite young, around the same age as the trio from avp so he still had somewhat of an honor system left and was not corrupted by berserker or the others just yet
@@DangerFloof-f1i you are right I think this was falconers first hunt to prove himself.
this particular story was based on one of the publish comic from dark horse comic, they do kinda explain what happens to royce and isabelle after the end of movie, if you're interested at the lore.
this movie was like the first Predator film but there's more than one Predator and best of all their mask designs blew my mind
My absolute favorite of the franchise but sadly underrated.
So just know, if they follow the lore of the last video game Hunting Ground, (wich is canon) with this story, we can had back Arnold for a future sequel.
Agreed. Love the film, but very underrated. Not a lot of people seem to have seen it which is a shame.
Oh yeah would love to see the Cleosussy Predator
That part when they both said “If it bleeds you can kill it” part before they start to watch was a badass way to start the reaction 🔥
I’m a recent subscriber and every film you have all watched has been a classic and always cool to watch both of your reactions too
Hi Ari and Denise, So happy I gotta see your reaction to predators finally :))
The Predator's names are tracker falconer and berserker!!!
Plus i was berserker predator for Halloween 2 years , I still have the costume right now.
Ron vs berserker predator is my favorite part !!
Also I hope the predator 2018 is your next on the list because you too must see the new new predator.
Is the predator 2018 reaction coming ?!!
Easily my second favourite Predator film. This film kept the feel and gave us SO much more interesting lore and grew the threat and scope of things in a similar way to how *_Aliens_* did from the original *_Alien_* movie. While *_Prey_* & *_Predator 2_* were also really solid, I appreciate the way that this one did something REALLY different from the format and made all of its characters - who are objectively dangerous people who would likely be villains in any other movie - into memorable individuals that you care about whenever something happens to them, because you see those little moments of humanity in them... which makes the serial killer reveal even better in juxtaposition to teaming up with the normal Predator.
That's always how I felt that the two different types of Predator behave: To the regular ones we're also potentially something to be honored for winning a hunt, whereas to the bigger ones, we're just something that they need to get better to kill. Essentially Predators just being all about the difference between hunters & murderers for the aliens AND the humans makes the title just perfect.
That 1v1 told me one thing. We need a predator movie set in 1800s japan with a group of samurai hunting a predator
There's a novel like that I think or like a short story 🤔 you should check it out
@@tyrelloge6910 🧐🧐🧐🤨
@tyrelloge6910 spill the tea 🍵 😊
This was a true Predator movie, Prey was awesome too. That last Predator movie though was like watching a CW tv series 😅
This is very underrated movie. As a die hard predator 1 and 2 fan when this came out and i heard Adrien Brody is gonna be protagonist i was a bit sceptical but he badass with that automatic shotgun! I only wish danny trejo survived longer
Yeah. He almost always gets killed too soon.
Nobody's mentioned it yet, but you described the spike pit as like in that Tomb Raider game, you may notice that some of Lara's outfits in the 2013 game are in fact based on the Predator movies. Her Guerrilla outfit is Adrian Brody's from this movie, and her Hunter outfit is Arnie's from the first movie.
This is probably my favorite Predator movie.
Fun fact, the creature from the crate is also in Prey, well kind of, the Feral Predator in Prey uses the skull from one of the creatures as its mask.
16:54 well,at least he's shooting at something instead of nothing,sir
True! Haha this time around they could actually see the target
Think practically or emotionally? To me, that was what was keeping Royce alive....his control of emotions. He wants to help. You can see his empathy shine in pockets of the movie. Hes a deep wound, ole Roycy boy.
First one to the party 🎉 happy you’re still going with this series please do keep going. I personally think every predator is good in its own way.
First one! Happy to hear you’re enjoying these! ❤️
"Each one is good in their own way" cries in the predator 2018.
In the comic *Predators: Preserve The Game,* a one-shot comic sequel to this movie, Royce and Isabelle survived for more than two months in the planet. They were fighting against all sorts of creatures including a four-armed Yautja mutant which they defeated. At some point the Predators 'awarded' Royce a set of Yautja hunting gear: cloaking device, biomask, armor, etc.
At the end Royce managed to rigged a ship and sent Isabelle back to Earth while he stayed back in the planet, wanting to face the Predator overlords. Epic, bro.
NICE!
I watched this on DVD on my birthday with my parents when I went to Walmart and bought this!
A sequel was considered and it was going to be "DIE HARD on a spaceship" where Royce and Isabelle as well as their human and alien counterparts fight off the Predators and hijack their space craft in order to make their way back to Earth, and when they arrive, they are shocked to learn that they been away from Earth for 200 years. Hicks from the ALIEN movies was going to have a cameo, asking for their help to fight the Xenomorph. Sadly it was cancelled due to the FOX/Disney merger. It would have been awesome to see.
Nikolai was an MMA fighter. Oleg Taktarov, or something like that. He was an expert in Sambo, was in the early days of UFC.

Just FYI, Derek Mears played the smaller Predator in this movie. He will be in Las Vegas, NV. on Jan. 17 to 19, 2025, in the "Days of the Dead" convention signing autographs and taking photos with fans. As well as dozens of other celebrities.
ah yes, Predators!!
i still don't understand the hate this movie got AND still gets, people still like to smash this movie to bits and i absolutely don't get it.
every time i rewatch it i like it more and more, i love how every character is so despicable in their own ways, but they all play a part and get kinda redeemed by just being team players in this sick hunt.
also, everyone complained about Adrien Brody, but hell nah he KILLED IT, he was a totally unexpected badass in this film and him alongside Isabelle became two of my favorite Predator protagonists :D
thanks for watching it y'all, this was great as always!!
People didn't like Adrian as an action hero, personally I thought he was brilliant.
When you pointed to the back of your head when talking about the feeling of being watched, I couldn’t relate more. It’s like a pressure feeling at the base of your skull, it’s the wildest sensation.

I think you need to study more on Production and film making my friend. Yeah Predators may have done some obvious nods to the original, but hey so did Predator 2. Plus a Predator being struck by lightning has to be one of the goofiest things I’ve seen in my life. Again I personally think Predators was the better movie.
@@idiot_city5444 and very telling how you try to prove yours is superior simply because a late suit actor stared in said movie. Never mind all the the tongue in cheek effects that movie had as well as copying things from the original.
The predator at theend is called Berserker and he was the youngest of his kind to ever kill a xenomorphs, also super-predators are soposably less strict about their code than the OGs.
Say what you will, i love this movie, the berserker predator is still one of my fav designs
Man, it's hard to believe how strong the Predators are. In order to rip your spin out like that it would take ruffly 3,000 newtons of force. Thats the equivalents of being hit by a 500lb object at 30mph.
Military pressing a bear was a cool way to show their strength as well
Hey guys. Great video as always! Maybe for your Media Knights 2.0 channel you could react to a video from Sci-Fi Infinity called “The Predator Species Biology and Culture Explained”. It answers a lot of your questions about the lore and differences between different Predators etc.
Great suggestion! Thank you for watching and for your generosity ❤️ It means so much to us. Would be cool to dive deeper into the lore!

Another great Predator movie!
(Once they hit "The Predator" they're going to be SO disappointed after watching all the others lol)
the predator is truly disappointing.
there is actually a comic telling the after story of Royce and Isabel if your interested. also when they found the traps with the army body and the predator was able to get past the traps to kill him it proves they have adapted to jungle traps since arnie's time.
Please tell me you're going to do a reaction to The Predator [2018] eventually.
It's my favorite in the franchise.
I was just looking for that reaction lol
I got to attend the attend the red carpet premier and after party with the cast and crew of this film, in Austin in 2010. This was shot at and around Austin area at Robert Rodriguez's studios. As a lifelong fan of this franchise, it was a dream come true.
Another predator movie that was underrated. Like you say, its not going to win any awards but it was far from terrible, it just gave us more information on the predators and continued their legacy. Just as @Suthius85 says, these predators were bio-engineered, a rogue outfit, not part of the usual predator society. I don't have as much information as Suthius85, but im willing to bet that this outfit was seen as artificial, being genetically enhanced is not exactly honorable and an unfair advantage, it probably wouldnt have sat well with the predators as a whole. It makes sense that they would be in a small civil war i suppose. Anyway, really glad to be on the predator journey with you, its nice to see you enjoying them. Much love from the UK.
Exactly! This movie delivered exactly what it intended to deliver, a fun time. That adds a bit of context to why there would be conflict to begin with! Thank you for watching this with us. Sending all the love to the UK ❤️
This is by far my favourite film in the franchise. It takes what made the first one great and builds upon it. Billy's death in Predator is off screen and it doesn't do the character justice. In this one we get the stand-off between the Yakuza guy and the pred and it's everything Billy deserved. I watch this movie on a semi-regular basis. Never gets old
The scene I like in this movie is when Edwin tells Royce that he is a good man, and Royce replies with regret that he is not a good man.
This shows that Royce had done some bad things in his life that are unforgivable and couldn't take it back, and that he will never forgive himself.
Isabelle correctly guessed that he is black ops, that means doing things where if you get caught your government disavows any knowledge of you because you've been asked to do things that the geneva convention or human rights groups would frown upon. So he's likely killed a few union leaders or third world politicians, Jason Bourne stuff.
I remember coming home on my last day of school before the summer break and watching this movie. Don't remember what grade that was, but such a warm memory. It's sunny outside, I'm watching Adrien Brody beating the hell out of a predator, feeling good cause there are three months of freedom ahead of me.
according to the comics, they end up sending a predator suit for Royce (Brody) to use and then release a genetically modified 4 armed predator to kill him, in the end, The girl ends up on a ship back to earth and Brody goes on a different ship to find the predator planet, this is because they were there for so long that Brody thinks he is not mentally fit to go back to earth
I always took the name of the movie to not only talk about the aliens but refers to the humans as predators too. Thats why the name has an s in it...thats why topher grace is there bc hes a killer doctor
This predators (Berserker, Falconer and Tracker) probably have the best mask designs in the saga after the feral predator
@@damicf8446 Celtic + Wolf will always be my favourites
funny that the coolest mask designs are all from bad bloods
