The Predator took Billy's skull be cause it was honoring him. It found Billy a worthy opponent. Billy opted to lose his firearms and stand face to face like a warrior. He may have not lasted long as far as we can tell but The Predator found it to be an honorable death so he took his skull as a trophy.
To this day I don't know why they all laughed at Bill Duke's character when he killed that boar. Killing a huge wild boar with a knife is one of the toughest things I can imagine.
I feel like it was an ironic joke they were doing, because they taunted him asking if he could have killed something bigger. And it was a big ass boar he took out with ease. I think it was just they were trying to get that Predator and got something else entirely and that kinda took the awe and glory of what would normally be an amazing kill.
Because at the level they a trained kill a boar is like killing a rat. And it is or atleast was common when and where I grew up people that hunt and kill boar just with a big knife or using a bow.
I'm pretty sure the idea was that they started laughing because they thought it was the alien attacking their camp, so it was kind of a relief and they were laughing at how scared they were a moment ago. The reason it is confusing is because of the editing; that one guy's loud infectious laugh just came in unexpectedly and caught us off guard. I think it was a genuine laugh that was used and the director just had to squeeze it in there in the editing room somehow
Exactly. There is no wasting of ammo in an 80's action movie because there is infinite ammo in 80's action movies. They invented the infinite ammo code.
Favorite quote from this movie: "You're one ugly..." It's just so versatile :D Incidentally, you're right that body heat would show through mud/clay. But do you know what else is about as hot as a human body? A hot jungle (which was an actual problem they had during filming, so they couldn't actually use infrared film and instead recreated those shots with CG). Did you also notice that the POV vision became all washed out in red after taking off the mask? The infrared vision was the predator's natural mode of sight. The mask filtered out ambient heat to make targets show up more clearly. When Dutch was covered in mud, the mask mistook him for being part of the ambient environment and filtered out his heat from the predator's display. Honestly, the fallibility of the predator's technology is a huge part of why it's one of my favorite sci-fi monsters. It doesn't have magically perfect invisibility or magically perfect tracking or magically perfect weapons (if you watch it in slow motion, you can see the shoulder canon's blast hit Dutch's gun before deflecting across his arm, which is why it was just bloodied instead of severed). It can be wounded by basic small arms fire, and it actually needs to treat its wounds instead of relying on magical regeneration. The creature feels so much more believable that way.
Mud can be pretty cold. I had my whole body covered in mud during college hazing, and it was freezing. Pretty sure it lowers my body temp. But depends on the location too, I guess.
I'm pretty sure there were interviews talking about them trying both have actors stand next to fires and spraying them down with cold water, and neither did enough to actually make them stand out against the environment on the infrared film
All good points, the Predator isn't perfect , its race has poor eyesight in general (and it has pretty small beady eyes for its size, pretty lame for an apex predator!) , if one takes the first film as the true cannon it only visits the equator of Earth during heat waves. It's tech is impressive but a bit on the clunky side even for the 80s/90s. The Predator is also a bit of a poor sport , this hunt seems to be about ritual and rules but it sure gets human with its spite and hypocrisy when the tables turn.
I was lucky enough to visit the Predator filming location back in 2015. It's now a zip-line tourist attraction just outside of Puerto Vallarta. The enemy camp seen at 7:29 is now a restaurant. They even have a life-sized stature of the Predator there!
RIP Kevin Peter Hall (May 9, 1955 - April 10, 1991)(aged 35) and William M. "Sonny" Landham (February 11, 1941 - August 17, 2017)(aged 76) and Robert Golden Armstrong Jr. (April 7, 1917 - July 27, 2012)(aged 95) you will truly all be missed and I love watching Predator (1987).
I saw this in the theater in high school. This was absolutely amazing back then, and has held up very well over the decades. You just cannot beat those practical effects on the Predator, no matter how much CGI you use.
Haha really though, first time i watched it i asked myself why anything would want to live in a mask that seemingly always has thermal vision turned on, then we saw what Predators unfiltered vision looks like and I realized that any species with that method of sight, to continue advancing theyd have to come up with some sort of replacement
I thought Predator was just another typical Schwarzenegger 80s action movie when it first came out and over time realized what a classic this film actually is. It feels way more like a horror film than an action film and has genuinely good acting and the pacing is perfect. I think along with The Terminator, it's arguably the best film Schwarzenegger has been in.
A couple fun factoids: Kevin Peter Hall (The Predator) also had a cameo (unmasked) as a copter pilot. It took getting to see the monster's face for Peter Cullen (the voice of Optimus Prime) to come up with the vocal sounds for the Predator that resembled soft 'growling'.
Another fun fact is how Kevin Peter Hall gotten the part of Predator? It is revealed that Jean Claude Van Damme (Timecop and Bloodsport) was considered to be Predator, but he was too short for the role because producers wanted someone taller than Arnold. So, at 7'2", KPH was right choice as Predator.
@@MrTech226 He had trouble with the costume too. He'd get dehydrated and was having trouble performing the more physical aspects of the role. Also the costume they made him wear looked ridiculous.
@@finishin.my.coffee8780 He also said he didn't see a point in being in a movie and not have anyone see his face. It would be like doing a movie where but know one knows it is you.
I really like how you let each other watch the movie and come up with theories of what's going on, instead of explaining everything immediately. It's fun to watch someone work things out for the first time!
Agreed. I was watching to see if he'd let anything slip, but he maintained silence haha. Let her ask the questions but find out for herself. I think the only thing he answered was that the Predator took the skulls for trophies, but that's about it.
It's irritating when someone thinks they need to explain everything that is going to happen later in the movie. That defeats the purpose of watching the movie.
I think part of Predator’s legendary status really comes down to the performance of Predator actor Kevin Peter Hall, for that full reveal his massive 7ft2in frame creates this just impressive and imposing presence for the character, plus you take into account that he couldn’t see or hear really anything when he was in the full costume. That would be really tough, I commend the actors that are willing to do the full latex prosthetic work.
Notice the subtlety of the Predator itself in this movie? It could've jumped them as soon as they landed but he held back to see if they'd make worthy prey
Exactly, the Predator is a noble hunter, attacking the strong, sparing the weak and unarmed. The Predator follows a true warrior and hunter code of honor.
Predators are like the equivalent of sport hunters.. They kill humans and take their skulls as trophies.. Much like humans hunt animals for sport. That's their culture and the one who gets highest kills is ranked as the Top alpha in their tribe. Soo there.
Aaand the one who are not worthy enough. Unarmed, Runaways, Unaware, not paying attention or other stuff that makes them a boring or not challenging prey gets skinned and hanged
More dangerous the prey, more respect predators get for the kill. Also, what weapons are used for the kills also counts. Like it'd be too easy to blast targets from a distance but instead use melee weapons and face the prey head on.

@@JohnSmith-qn3ob Seems that you didnt understand my posting. Read it again carefully - i know its long - and a lot of points i mentioned. You simplify my posting to serve your narrative.
11:07 “It’s invisible? What the hell? I thought it was like a... like a big thing.” I was half-expecting hubby to say in response: “Yeah, a big invisible thing.”
The whole camp attack sequence is meant to illustrate just how good they are at using violence when it comes down to it. Something that makes the Predator feel scarier since it's outclassing them in violence throughout the entire movie.
Like when it stole the body at night from right in the middle of them. That's such a huge middle finger, oh look a random few seconds of distraction, I've just been sitting here waiting silently for that boom I'm in past ALL your defenses, in fact in past all of YOU as well, grabbed a full grown man body, and evaporated back in into the jungle before you even knew it was there. THAT is a terrifying demonstration of capabilities. THAT sends a MESSAGE. It's like breaking into Fort Knox, running through the entire place, zero resistance, zero detection, in and out, and all you did was leave a note on the base commanders desk under a single gold bar that you were there, no one caught us, your security sucks, and we could come back at any time and you won't be able to stop us again, and had we wanted to we could have walked off with everything THIS time.
This film is a modern update of the medieval tale of Beowulf, a military commander who leads his troops into a kingdom where an unseen monster comes every night, while everyone is sleeping, and kills soldiers. Beowulf fights and defeats the monster.
This is easily the most hilarious reaction video I've seen to a cult classic like Predator. And you picked up so quickly through the progression of the film what was happening. LOVE IT.
"Dog soldiers". Not a franchise, its a decent low budget film, but the werewolfs look awesome in it. My favourite look of all movies personally. Terrified me when i was young, not sure how scary it actually is now though.
Mac chasing after the Predator climbing up the hill ranting "gonna have me some fun" over and over is actually him reciting the lyrics to the rock 'n roll song played in the chopper at the beginning of the film. It was his buddy's favorite song "🎵 Yeah, baby. Gonna have me some fun tonight 🎶!!" Mac is seeking vengeance for his friend. He has a score to settle. -OG
The moment you realize, Yep, this is the girl for me is when the vertical bacon sandwich jokes come rolling in. I'm only two videos in and this is already one of my favorite reaction channels
The self-destruct function in the Predator's wrist computer is a key part of their lore. A lot of people compare Predators/Yautja to Ninjas, but their mindset is much more akin to Samurai. Samurai code of honor demands that they do not allow themselves to be captured alive, and Predators are the same way, but for different reasons. Their code of honor demands that they must never allow themselves to be taken alive, lest their technology fall into the wrong hands, so they program their wrist computer to self-destruct, which will destroy all evidence of their presence.
Billy is one tough hombre for whom honor is everything. He cuts himself with his knife to deny the Predator the honor of drawing first blood. Also, many cultures believe that a knife drawn in combat cannot be sheathed unless it has tasted blood. Since Billy can not be sure that he will get a hit on the Predator, he has his knife taste his own blood.
14.48 is on of my favourite movie scenes ever, the predator throwing its head back in pain with the sun beams shining through the trees making that ominous scream
Oh the look on her face when the Predator took it's helmet off........priceless!!.... Another very amusing reaction....... and some of us know what is coming up.
Lots going on with the scene where they shoot half the jungle down. 1) It's cool in an adolescent gun nerd way Pew-Pew-PEW-LULZ 2) It;s this big release over all the tension building over the thing stalking them ( in future scenes they sometimes have dumbfounded at glimpses of it and don't "spray and pray" , the scene instructs a snapshot glimpse isn't enough it would evade ) 3) It symbolizes all their firepower and skill that was clearly demonstrated in the siege is ineffective. It's a funny scene , it displays power and fun but it implies weakness. It works on so many levels, not a dumb movie.
Well glad you appreciate it.The Predator Universe is my favorite.I hope you also appreciate part 2, it is also very good. Greetings from Russia and happy hunting!
Mythbusters actually tested the mud versus thermal vision, and if I remember right it actually worked for a bit until the human body temperature warmed up the mud.
They are not mercenaries. They're a rescue team. Mercenaries do any job for a price. A rescue team goes where people have captured and being held hostage. They, as their job title says, go in and rescue them. Also, did you see what Arnold did at the end of the hand to hand battle with the Predator? He was in that crevasse that had the root crossing it. He cut those spikes a little long so the Predator would see them and go around to the other end where Arnold set the dead fall. Cool.
Mad to think the first member of the squad that is killed 'Hawkins', is actually played by none other than the man who wrote Lethal Weapon, The last Boy Scout etc, Shane Black!
He also wrote The Last Action Hero, The Long Kiss Goodnight, The Predator and did the screenplay for the new Doc Savage film that is supposed to start filming.
I think the reason why Water and Mud worked against the Yautja (Predator) is because they don't have those on their home planet, so it's alien to the actual Alien. You can only work with what you know and all they know is a rather hot, dry, harsh environment. That's one of the main reasons they usually do their hunting during the dry spells or in areas less likely to have Rain or Water.
Absolutely correct! Being covered in cold, wet mud would NOT conceal your thermal signature completely! It could, perhaps, partially work at least for a few seconds. But the human body just generates WAY too much heat for that to work for ANY length of time. (body heat WOULD quickly bleed through & heat up the mud) Good catch. That said, it works "good enough" for "Movie Logic" & "Hollywood Science", in order to give the movie's protagonist a Fighting chance against the antagonist.
Some people find it gross, but I love the Yautja design. It's terrifyingly predatory. Like the way a mantis doesn't look pretty, but you can tell it's a badass predator. Same thing here. My favorite Arnold quote here is: "If it bleeds we can kill it." I'm a simple man; I hear a classic quote I love a classic quote. 😔 Enjoyed your guys' reaction.
Speaking of quotes, I was let down when there wasn't a reaction to the "Stick around." one lol. I love the yautja design as well. The Jungle predator in this movie is probably my favorite design. It's got just the right amount of weaponry and gear to take on a squad of highly trained mercenaries after it probably witnessed them bulldoze through those enemy soldiers earlier in the film. When it shows its face at the end and does the roar and extends the mandibles, I was hooked. Stan Winston's work is legendary.
i remember , this predator visions were inspired from a few years earlier movie called "Wolfen" . Its a forgotten classic and one shouldn't infer another simple wolf film from the name
RAMBO meets ALIEN could've been the Hollywood pitch - perfect blend of horror & action. One of Arnold's best and all hail f/x wiz Stan Winston's iconic creation of the fearsome Predator! Fine reactions guys.
Predator mimicking it's prey is both taunting and 😳 intimidating. It just makes him that much scarier. And using Billy's laugh before he nuked himself was wild! -OG
Actor Kevin Peter Hall who played the predator also play the helicopter pilot at the end of the movie , he also played Bigfoot in Harry and the Henderson . He was married to an actress who was on sesame Street and on a show called 227 . Sadly he contracted hiv from a blood transfusion and died
There is A LOT of lore about the Predator and it's race the Yautja [Y/ow/cha/] Basically anything they do is ritualistic and to prove themselves in combat. They are a highly honourable race and usually don't kill young, sick, pregnant creatures, or anyone that would be considered an innocent UNLESS they are attacked by them first. They also prefer to fight fair, as in 1 on 1 and if the enemy uses weapons then so will they, and they will take a trophy (Usually the skull) of something they killed that was a formidable worthy foe.
Predator is my favorite Arnold movie, and i found it scaryer than any alien movie when i seen it first...gave me nightmares for years....its in the atmosfire, music and buildup...glad you liked it
Oh! my favourite small detail about Predator comes up around 19:50 You can tell it actually is Arnold doing the fall into the water in the first shot as apparently whenever he wasn't on camera or required to say lines he would smoke cigars. You can see as he falls that there's smoke coming from his mouth so apparently he decided to do that fall while smoking since he didn't have to say anything during it. Then as you noticed the shot after definitely isn't Arnold but I find it really funny that he did that fall while smoking for some reason
Fun Fact: The actor Kevin Peter Hall who plays the predator is also Harry in Harry and the Hendersons ( 1987) with John Lithgow, about a Bigfoot, a very fun watch if you both haven't seen it yet. @You, Me, & The Movies
It’s been proven that mud does obscure your heat from Thermal vision. But only for roughly twenty minutes. After that your own body heat starts to warm it that it is then visible.

And yes, you doesnt got shadowbanned- to write that p-word - lucky you (maybe one of the parts i mentioned above isnt weighted to much for you). Trust me : the more you use such words - the more likely it will be,that only you can read your comment in the future (that means shadowbanning).
@@PygmalionFaciebat And yet my comment is still there. It had to be in order for you to reply to it.
@@JohnSmith-qn3ob Seems that you didnt understand my posting. Read it again carefully - i know its long - and a lot of points i mentioned. You simplify my posting to serve your narrative.
Favorite Arnold quote: "It's not a Toomah!"
The smile on your face during the raid scene says all anyone needs to know about this film. The definitive guy movie.
"Stick around" haha so good!
Classic
So sad to hear someone else hasn't seen this, and so good to see them watch it. :)
11:07 “It’s invisible? What the hell? I thought it was like a... like a big thing.”
I was half-expecting hubby to say in response: “Yeah, a big invisible thing.”
In the canon, Predators, known as Yautja, were very honourable, that's why this one took his mask before fight.
He takes the skulls of worthy opponents.
The whole camp attack sequence is meant to illustrate just how good they are at using violence when it comes down to it. Something that makes the Predator feel scarier since it's outclassing them in violence throughout the entire movie.
Like when it stole the body at night from right in the middle of them. That's such a huge middle finger, oh look a random few seconds of distraction, I've just been sitting here waiting silently for that boom I'm in past ALL your defenses, in fact in past all of YOU as well, grabbed a full grown man body, and evaporated back in into the jungle before you even knew it was there. THAT is a terrifying demonstration of capabilities. THAT sends a MESSAGE.
It's like breaking into Fort Knox, running through the entire place, zero resistance, zero detection, in and out, and all you did was leave a note on the base commanders desk under a single gold bar that you were there, no one caught us, your security sucks, and we could come back at any time and you won't be able to stop us again, and had we wanted to we could have walked off with everything THIS time.
This film is a modern update of the medieval tale of Beowulf, a military commander who leads his troops into a kingdom where an unseen monster comes every night, while everyone is sleeping, and kills soldiers. Beowulf fights and defeats the monster.
*I heard they are going to remake Predator, and have it star John Cena, because the Predator wouldn't be able to see him XD*
lmao 😂
Movie was 4 hours long, because they spent majority of the duration trying to find each other with no avail.
Fantastic!
killed me XD XD XD
Lol I love and hate that I laughed at this
When I first saw this, I had no idea what it was. Totally blew me away. A favorite Arnold quote “I lied.”
This is easily the most hilarious reaction video I've seen to a cult classic like Predator. And you picked up so quickly through the progression of the film what was happening. LOVE IT.
Glad you enjoyed it!
"Dog soldiers". Not a franchise, its a decent low budget film, but the werewolfs look awesome in it. My favourite look of all movies personally.
Terrified me when i was young, not sure how scary it actually is now though.
Kevin Peter Hall. The Predator. May he RIP.
My wife introduced me to this channel. We love it!
Welcome aboard!

@@-M0LE Lois. For sure. 😉
I saw a video. They tried the mud vs. Thermocamera and it works! You can't see guy covered in mud with thermal image.
Fun trivia fact - In the novels (maybe from the screenplay, I'm not sure) Dutch's actual name is Alan Schaefer.
0:10 he’s like I’m watching it too, women always be asking questions 😂😂
I know she's a trip I couldn't take her to the movies!!
Always asking questions
@@mypastishistorymaking statements, assuming
My Favorite quote: "Stick Around"!
James Cameron also directed aliens. These two movies have some of the best one liners ever!
“Ain’t got time to bleed.”
So covering up with mud does actually block your heat signature but only until the mud warms up then it’s useless
Mac chasing after the Predator climbing up the hill ranting "gonna have me some fun" over and over is actually him reciting the lyrics to the rock 'n roll song played in the chopper at the beginning of the film. It was his buddy's favorite song "🎵 Yeah, baby. Gonna have me some fun tonight 🎶!!" Mac is seeking vengeance for his friend. He has a score to settle. -OG
You guys gel together so well! Lucky to have each other :D
Ps. I'm binge-watching all of your reactions!
Thanks. We are very lucky. Hope you’re enjoying the content 🤠
Mate if you've heard of 'Occam's Razor' you're not stupid...and I loved the dutch oven joke. 👍
So if someone just hears about certain things makes them smart? LOL
@@punkem733 kind of mate, most people acquire knowledge by hearing stuff...Double Lol 🙂
The moment you realize, Yep, this is the girl for me is when the vertical bacon sandwich jokes come rolling in. I'm only two videos in and this is already one of my favorite reaction channels
The self-destruct function in the Predator's wrist computer is a key part of their lore. A lot of people compare Predators/Yautja to Ninjas, but their mindset is much more akin to Samurai. Samurai code of honor demands that they do not allow themselves to be captured alive, and Predators are the same way, but for different reasons. Their code of honor demands that they must never allow themselves to be taken alive, lest their technology fall into the wrong hands, so they program their wrist computer to self-destruct, which will destroy all evidence of their presence.
To protect their tech and also their form of Seppuku, to absolve shame of defeat (die in honor). Or maybe as simply as a 'last laugh' XD
@@nitrokid That could also be true. In the Dutch Audio Tapes in Predator: Hunting Grounds, he does call it "a final 'fuck you'."
And we see what happens when their tech IS allowed to fall into the wrong hands, our hands, Wayland-Yutani hands...
Your husband is the man, I salute you sir
Billy is one tough hombre for whom honor is everything. He cuts himself with his knife to deny the Predator the honor of drawing first blood. Also, many cultures believe that a knife drawn in combat cannot be sheathed unless it has tasted blood. Since Billy can not be sure that he will get a hit on the Predator, he has his knife taste his own blood.
"BYE!" - TrueLies (when he has to go back to work after the nuke explosion saying "bye" to Jamie Lee Curtis's character before getting into the jet)
Masterpiece of action
14.48 is on of my favourite movie scenes ever, the predator throwing its head back in pain with the sun beams shining through the trees making that ominous scream
You two are so fortunate to have each other ;D If only every man could end up with such a wonderful woman, so blissfully unaware of so many classics!
you noticed the galactic safari the predator came looking for, and billy's laugh at the end... lady, you rock
Peter Cullen (voice of Optimus Prime) did the purring sounds of the predator,
" RUUUUUN, GET TO THA CHOPPPAH !!!! " :D
Predator 2 is my fav. highly recommend
Oh the look on her face when the Predator took it's helmet off........priceless!!.... Another very amusing reaction....... and some of us know what is coming up.
Lots going on with the scene where they shoot half the jungle down. 1) It's cool in an adolescent gun nerd way Pew-Pew-PEW-LULZ 2) It;s this big release over all the tension building over the thing stalking them ( in future scenes they sometimes have dumbfounded at glimpses of it and don't "spray and pray" , the scene instructs a snapshot glimpse isn't enough it would evade ) 3) It symbolizes all their firepower and skill that was clearly demonstrated in the siege is ineffective. It's a funny scene , it displays power and fun but it implies weakness. It works on so many levels, not a dumb movie.
Well glad you appreciate it.The Predator Universe is my favorite.I hope you also appreciate part 2, it is also very good.
Greetings from Russia and happy hunting!
I loved his reaction whenever she looks at him..👌❤❤❤❤
When Mrs. Movies jumps scares..... It makes my day😀😀😀
Mythbusters actually tested the mud versus thermal vision, and if I remember right it actually worked for a bit until the human body temperature warmed up the mud.
You want to hide from a predator get a pane of glass.
They are not mercenaries. They're a rescue team. Mercenaries do any job for a price. A rescue team goes where people have captured and being held hostage. They, as their job title says, go in and rescue them.
Also, did you see what Arnold did at the end of the hand to hand battle with the Predator? He was in that crevasse that had the root crossing it. He cut those spikes a little long so the Predator would see them and go around to the other end where Arnold set the dead fall. Cool.
Mad to think the first member of the squad that is killed 'Hawkins', is actually played by none other than the man who wrote Lethal Weapon, The last Boy Scout etc, Shane Black!
Two other sleepers he helmed were Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and the Nice Guys with Ryan Gosling
Don't forget he directed Iron Man 3.
He also wrote The Last Action Hero, The Long Kiss Goodnight, The Predator and did the screenplay for the new Doc Savage film that is supposed to start filming.
@@marivera77 two of my favourite films. Gosling and Crowe were brilliant together!
and completely fucked the latest predator movie.
I think the reason why Water and Mud worked against the Yautja (Predator) is because they don't have those on their home planet, so it's alien to the actual Alien.
You can only work with what you know and all they know is a rather hot, dry, harsh environment. That's one of the main reasons they usually do their hunting during the dry spells or in areas less likely to have Rain or Water.
Absolutely correct! Being covered in cold, wet mud would NOT conceal your thermal signature completely!
It could, perhaps, partially work at least for a few seconds. But the human body just generates WAY too much heat for that to work for ANY length of time. (body heat WOULD quickly bleed through & heat up the mud)
Good catch.
That said, it works "good enough" for "Movie Logic" & "Hollywood Science", in order to give the movie's protagonist a Fighting chance against the antagonist.
Some people find it gross, but I love the Yautja design. It's terrifyingly predatory. Like the way a mantis doesn't look pretty, but you can tell it's a badass predator. Same thing here.
My favorite Arnold quote here is: "If it bleeds we can kill it." I'm a simple man; I hear a classic quote I love a classic quote. 😔
Enjoyed your guys' reaction.
Speaking of quotes, I was let down when there wasn't a reaction to the "Stick around." one lol.
I love the yautja design as well. The Jungle predator in this movie is probably my favorite design. It's got just the right amount of weaponry and gear to take on a squad of highly trained mercenaries after it probably witnessed them bulldoze through those enemy soldiers earlier in the film. When it shows its face at the end and does the roar and extends the mandibles, I was hooked. Stan Winston's work is legendary.
The Expendables YES YES YES for the casts alone
i remember , this predator visions were inspired from a few years earlier movie called "Wolfen" . Its a forgotten classic and one shouldn't infer another simple wolf film from the name
My number 1 favorite Arnold Schwarzenegger movie of all time!!
PREDATOR: THE MOST MANLIEST MAN MOVIE THAT HAS EVER MANED!!!
💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
Favorite Arnold quote from the movie "if it bleeds we can kill it" classic
RAMBO meets ALIEN could've been the Hollywood pitch - perfect blend of horror & action. One of Arnold's best and all hail f/x wiz Stan Winston's iconic creation of the fearsome Predator! Fine reactions guys.
Predator mimicking it's prey is both taunting and 😳 intimidating. It just makes him that much scarier. And using Billy's laugh before he nuked himself was wild! -OG
Actor Kevin Peter Hall who played the predator also play the helicopter pilot at the end of the movie , he also played Bigfoot in Harry and the Henderson . He was married to an actress who was on sesame Street and on a show called 227 . Sadly he contracted hiv from a blood transfusion and died
20:00 lmao
Meanwhile...
Stuntman: thanks for appreciating the insane stunt i pulled off for arnold...
Little Tiny Chicken Arms!
There is A LOT of lore about the Predator and it's race the Yautja [Y/ow/cha/] Basically anything they do is
ritualistic and to prove themselves in combat. They are a highly honourable race and usually don't kill young, sick,
pregnant creatures, or anyone that would be considered an innocent UNLESS they are attacked by them first.
They also prefer to fight fair, as in 1 on 1 and if the enemy uses weapons then so will they, and they will take a
trophy (Usually the skull) of something they killed that was a formidable worthy foe.
Congrats on 1k guys.
Thanks! :D
I find it cute listening to the Predator screaming in the Net like inside that monster is a little critter 😂😭👿
"Knock knock." Funny reaction to the face reveal.
10:37: Billy: "I guess it's nothing major, Major". Dutch: "What? Is there an echo?"
6:10 i love the differences of your reactions here. great reaction vid on a great film! 😃
Thank you!! 😁
😂😂😂
Predator is my favorite Arnold movie, and i found it scaryer than any alien movie when i seen it first...gave me nightmares for years....its in the atmosfire, music and buildup...glad you liked it
Sonny Landham, the actor that plays Billy, needed a security detail because he was ready to fight EVERYTHING. He played Billy Bear in 48hrs too. Fyi
Another good Arnold movie is Total Recall (1990)
On our list :)
"You don't hear very good pussy jokes anymore y'know?"
That got you a subscribe.
Best Action movie ever
Honorable mention for fave quote: "Stick around!" Always enjoy your reactions.
Oh! my favourite small detail about Predator comes up around 19:50 You can tell it actually is Arnold doing the fall into the water in the first shot as apparently whenever he wasn't on camera or required to say lines he would smoke cigars. You can see as he falls that there's smoke coming from his mouth so apparently he decided to do that fall while smoking since he didn't have to say anything during it.
Then as you noticed the shot after definitely isn't Arnold but I find it really funny that he did that fall while smoking for some reason
Fun Fact: The actor Kevin Peter Hall who plays the predator is also Harry in Harry and the Hendersons ( 1987) with John Lithgow, about a Bigfoot, a very fun watch if you both haven't seen it yet. @You, Me, & The Movies
It’s been proven that mud does obscure your heat from Thermal vision. But only for roughly twenty minutes. After that your own body heat starts to warm it that it is then visible.
