This movie was weirdly important to me, I had a phase where I was being super critical of everything I watched and stopped having fun but this movie was like a friend putting their hand on my shoulder, staring at me in the eyes and saying "Hey Idiot. It's all pretend. Shut up and have fun!" And you know what? I did have fun!
@@AirQuotes heh, also same but different reasons for me: the 1st AVP and Terminator 3 were the last films my dad and I watched together. To be clear, he's not dead, he just has a different family now.
To be fair theres only two unenjoyable Predator movies. "Avp:Requim" and "The Predator." I will die on the hill of "Predator 2" and "Predators"being good movies
I just want to take a moment to sing praises to the editors of these videos. The amount of work y'all clearly put in to make every frame of these videos interesting and entertaining is laudable.
I'm now wondering about edited versions of the movies where all the hissing and screeching noises are replaced by quacky-duck sounds. I'm torn between the idea being terrifying and hilarious...
This movie was indirectly responsible for my love of horror movies. My little brother wanted to watch it with me despite neither of us having seen a single Alien or Predator movie. So we both liked it a lot, and I then went back and watched the rest of both franchises. And in my head I associated Freddy vs. Jason with this because of the similar names, but I wanted to do it right and start from the beginning this time, so I watched the 15+ Freddy and Jason movies and also Halloween because why not. This movie is good, cheesy fun and I love it a lot. It isn't even stupid fun either...it just isn't particularly smart xD
The Dark Horse comic is pretty good still. I bought the 30th anniversary book a while ago and it does get a little silly, but the first third handles the themes of pride, honor and greed fairly well. It gets "random dude on the internet"s seal of approval
Hey let's combine these two brutal and gory R-rated sci-fi franchises into one movie. But you know what let's go one further and make it PG-13 for no fucking reason. Brilliant!
a yes but also instead of makng it in space in the future lets make it on earth so instead of future space marines we got boring now a day humans to slaughter
that's Paul WS Anderson for ya. everything he's worked on has been a bastardized version of what it should be. Prime examples are his Resident Evil and Monster Hunter movies. Where he claims to love both franchises but fuck their history cause his wife has to be the star in every one
@@ThreadBomb I am well aware that on average PG-13 movies do better than R-rated movies but that's not always the case some franchises are meant to be rated R and do better when they're rated R. No one wanted a pussified alien and Predator movie.
As someone who's #1 favorite movie of all time is Aliens and #2 favorite movie of all time is Predator: People may dislike this movie, but AVP:R was miles worse. The fights between the xenos and the Yautja were incredible, Lex was a good protagonist, the team-up between Lex and Scar was a fun dynamic, the underdeveloped dynamic between Lex and Weyland was still compelling, and the effects still hold up to this day. The only thing that hurt this movie for me was the rating. I don't love AVP, but I do like it. It's an easy watch.
Ugh, don’t get me started on Requiem. They have a Predator covering up the existence of aliens (neat idea) . . . but then the xenomorph outbreak gets so bad the feds nuke the town, and this lone Predator is still going around with a dinky little vial of acid to pour on the bodies as if that’s even gonna matter. What a dumb movie.
The 8:21 edit of the metaphor scene from Moneyball while James mentions metaphors for a split second is EXACTLY why I love this channel. The editors matching/exceeding the wit of James n Maso is just sublime.
This is how I felt, until they started peddling FAKE NEWS Mason and/or Lawrence got a big kick back from Big Oxygen. They're being paid millions to LIE and tell our youth that GLASS isn't Frozen Air. There are hundred of millions of Frozen Air related injuries every year
(Comic Collector Guy voice) "Bishop was not killed by an alien, unless Ripley now counts as one. He was wounded but still very much alive. He was able to save Newt, which shows how dead he was not. You are now on my list." Aaaaand scene.
This movie came up with about as good of a scenario to have these two Aliens come in contact with each other and people (on a reasonable budget). For that reason- the original script deserves some credit. I also love movies where scientists/explorers find a "lost city" or "mysterious abandoned place". I love that aspect of this movie.
I won't say you are entirely wrong, and I personally enjoyed this movie, but the concept is taken directly from prior AvP comics, books, & games, and the main difference is really just that it is modern day rather than the future (I am still crossing my fingers for an AvP movie in the future.
@@whiffyclarke Yes, this crossover is incomplete without the Colonial Marines. These 2 iconic cinema monsters have always been abt humans being outmatched by Predator tech or Xenomorph ferality, no matter how advanced we are. Then one individual gets a moment of ingenuity, outsmarts these monsters & survives.
I’m going to put myself out there, I like this movie. It’s far from perfect, don’t get me wrong, and there’s a number of things I would have done differently. But overall, I think it’s a fine enough movie with some genuinely cool moments here and there. I can see a genuine attempt here, which is more than I can say for its sequel where I can’t see a single thing.
James, I’m so glad to hear you say some nice stuff about this movie. I’ve always enjoyed it and never understood the hate for it. I mean, it’s obviously no masterpiece, but it’s pretty fun.
This is one of those movies that I always hear trash talked or used as a punch line, when I don’t really think understand why. It’s not high art or anything but it’s a pretty good action romp.
Easy target because it has origins in genuine classics (Alien, Predator). That said, most people who grew up with the film, or can take it at face value, seem to really enjoy it and it's almost certainly reached cult classic status.
I remember well playing "Alien Vs. Predator" on the Atari Jaguar back in the day. What a great game for the time. Tense, quiet and slow, with creepy atmospheres and uniquely strategic gameplay for the genre at the time. Probably the best game on an admittedly weak system. I put a lot of time into it!
This is one of the movies I will defend with my life! Fun, scary, action packed and two sets of aliens duking it out in an underground temple. What's not to love? Now the second one, that one is shit.
I was watching this while rocking my 7mo daughter to sleep. The extended duck quack triggered a snigger in me so deep, primal and sudden that it made the ensuing extra half hour of rocking (she woke up because some idiot made the nerdy-nose-laugh) completely worth it. Bravo.
The P2 Alien skull was only ever intended as an easter egg, so it was made bone-coloured so as to be recognisably a skull and not stick out compared to the others. It's clear even from Aliens that there's no white calcium-based bone in their bodies and all other media (even AvP the movie) ignores the hell out of it too.
@@travistolbert9796 I is interesting that the initial design for the Alien had the human skull clearly visible inside its domed head. Though the skull seen in Predator2 lacks the human features.
So the one good thing about AVP is that prior to that movie coming out, I was very familiar with the aliens but I've never heard of a predator and had asked my dad "what is that the Alien is going to fight?" To which my Dad pulled a "Sit down son, let me teach you about how Arnold fought the Predator" lol.
One thing I always liked about the moves was having a human becoming an “honorary predator” by having the Predator initiate her in the Yaujta customs and jerk her… I always wanted to see a potential follow up where she shows up and uses her marking and spear and stuff as a way to gain respect from them and maybe make a deal to keep humans off the hunt list…
Ben or Lawrence or Collings, whichever edited this video, absolutely DESTORYED it. The editing in this one is fucking fantastic. I was laughing the whole time. That “that’s the joke” clip with the loony toons theme? Masterful
Star Wars was called Blue Harvest? Whaaa. That's crazy. These two men really know their green trivia. Cant wait to hear what stuff theyll have next week on their green trivia
I feel like this movie gets a lot of undeserved hate, when I feel that all it really suffers from is "could it have been better, sure, but it's still pretty good". It's a little silly in places, but it delivers on what it needs to. And as far as the PG13, all that really did was take away the HUMAN gore. There was still plenty of monster gore. And the fight at the end (imo) is one of the best in the franchise(s).
I always wondered why the pyramid in AVP wasn't flooded. Considering the length and size of the tunnel that was burned through the ice there should be tens of thousands of cubic meters of water flooding that underground cavern completely.
@@canijustplease You're probably right since the laser only fired for a few seconds. To burn such a long hole in such a short time the water probably instantly evaporated.
Ahhhh I feel amongst friends! Glad to know I’m not the only person who enjoys this movie. And like James Cameron I agree this is the 3rd best of the alien franchise
Glad that you always got the metaphors. They can be tough, but you point them out for us, your viewer. That is like a metaphor of a movie showing you, the audience and we are your audience like a metaphor. I don’t think I get what a metaphor is.
I ALSO quite like this one! It's dumb fun. Looks cool and has some good action. And it definitely delivered on its premise. Just Aliens and Predators beating the shit out of each other
This came out on DVD my sophomore year of college. I bought it the day it was available and when I got back to my dorm all of my friends made fun of me for buying it. But we all proceeded to sit and watch it. When it was over, we picked up some beer and watched it again. My friends' favorite line was "the enemy of my enemy, is my friend?"
As someone who spent a lot of my childhood reading Aliens and Predator books (which is crazy in retrospect with how mature that content was even compared to the R rated movies), I do really wish that I could just get an almost direct adaption of those stories. Aliens vs Predator in a future setting would be sick, especially because it could involve more global threats and colonial marines vs predators. The Aliens infesting earth books would be soooo good for a different, new story to tell in that franchise. And maybe some Predator movies that focus more on their POV with their hunting culture and sense of honor.
These movies are absolutely fun and fine and I would be up for a third one. Question though; if you had to add a third party to this franchise, who would it be?
It's been several years since I've seen this movie, so maybe I'd have different thoughts about it now, but at the time at least, I quite enjoyed it. It's not high art, and it knows it, and it gets right to the point of "alright let's have some people die and have some aliens fighting some predators." It's a fun lark, and that's all it needed to be. Requiem, on the other hand: dogshit.
Always loved the "aesthethic" of this movie. Although they moved a little to clunky they look freaking amazing No other predator has looked that good IMO
I hate the way the Predators look in this movie. They’re way too muscled up and huge. It’s also weird to me that they still have the fishnets on because I always assumed they wore fishnets and light armor in Predator because it’s the jungle and they need to be nimble. I thought some warm clothing type armor or something with fur on them would’ve looked way better and provided some aesthetic differentiation for the other versions of Predator.
It was just a series of "I'm gonna out-Alien the Aliens!" and "I'm gonna out-Predator the Predators!" Don't get me wrong, I enjoy dumb movies as much as the next person who enjoys dumb movies, and I enjoyed this one.
AVP was my introduction to both franchises as a kid. It tried to meet half way with both main themes I noticed when I watched the older movies more recently. Aliens is about unknown scary monsters hunting the people and threatening a containment problem. Where Predator movies tend to steer towards humanity overcoming an alien hunter that's collecting skulls of definitive predator creatures. In AVP we get a containment issue with the unknown xenos as well as humans overcoming the hunters by joining them instead of killing them. AVPR had both those things as well minus the team up but instead the people just get slaughtered in the crossfire between the two creatures
Man this movie is such a big part of my childhood. Alien and Predator were two of the first horror movies my dad showed me and the Predator specifically has been our shared favorite alien in any movie. I don't think I would be as close to my dad as I am if it were fore these cheesy 90s and 00s movies
Was always bothered by the gestation period for the aliens in this movie being like 10 minutes tops, but this is the first time Ive heard someone say "well they're super aliens". As awful an explanation as it is, it somehow has put my mind at ease after all these years.
The lack of American Football field in this movie made it really hard to determine a winner.
Didn't even specify what era of Predator or Xenomorph. AvP truly is the worst podcast
Haha amazing reference
Only superheroes are aloud the football field
Goated comment
Not sure who won but whoever it was, we lost
This movie is the definition of “it’s stupid but I had fun with it”

That “quack like a duck” bit/edits really caught me off guard 😆 well done editor Laurence and talkey-guy Mason
I believe it's a reference to the old arcade/SNES game where the aliens made a quack sound when killed. Lol
I'm now wondering about edited versions of the movies where all the hissing and screeching noises are replaced by quacky-duck sounds.
I'm torn between the idea being terrifying and hilarious...
As soon as Ewen Trainspotting started showing pictures of his kids, we all knew: his life could be measured in minutes.

As someone who spent a lot of my childhood reading Aliens and Predator books (which is crazy in retrospect with how mature that content was even compared to the R rated movies), I do really wish that I could just get an almost direct adaption of those stories. Aliens vs Predator in a future setting would be sick, especially because it could involve more global threats and colonial marines vs predators. The Aliens infesting earth books would be soooo good for a different, new story to tell in that franchise. And maybe some Predator movies that focus more on their POV with their hunting culture and sense of honor.
These movies are absolutely fun and fine and I would be up for a third one.
Question though; if you had to add a third party to this franchise, who would it be?
The only similar creature i can think of off the top of my head would be the monsters from a quiet place
Clearly the terminator.
The engineers probably
Bonus points for Cyriak!
You guys often include clips from the same corners of TH-cam I like to frequent.
It's been several years since I've seen this movie, so maybe I'd have different thoughts about it now, but at the time at least, I quite enjoyed it. It's not high art, and it knows it, and it gets right to the point of "alright let's have some people die and have some aliens fighting some predators." It's a fun lark, and that's all it needed to be.
Requiem, on the other hand: dogshit.
You are being incredibly generous to requiem with that rating.
3:37 I can't believe I just saw jerma
Can we all just agree this movie never had a sequel.
Nah, where else are we going to get our weekly dose of infanticide
The blue harvest stuff in green trivia makes happy haha. I come for the green trivia but stay for the whole video.
Always loved the "aesthethic" of this movie. Although they moved a little to clunky they look freaking amazing
No other predator has looked that good IMO
I loved that scene of the xenos swarming up the ancient pyramid. And the interior of the pyramid in general was a cool, unique environment.
I hate the way the Predators look in this movie. They’re way too muscled up and huge. It’s also weird to me that they still have the fishnets on because I always assumed they wore fishnets and light armor in Predator because it’s the jungle and they need to be nimble. I thought some warm clothing type armor or something with fur on them would’ve looked way better and provided some aesthetic differentiation for the other versions of Predator.
Predators looked way better!
@@ravenkarlin Fishnets are part of their culture though...
“I like metaphors, I always understand them”
I’ve always loved this movie since it came out. That being said, I was the exact target audience.
Love me some sci-fi horror!
Oh my god my favorite is back!! Green trivia!
Thanks to this movie, Lance Hendrickson is now the second guy to be taken down by a Predator, a Xenomorph Alien, and a Terminator on screen.
What a neat bit of Green Trivia! Reminds me of how the working title for the original Star Wars was Blue Harvest.
It was just a series of "I'm gonna out-Alien the Aliens!" and "I'm gonna out-Predator the Predators!" Don't get me wrong, I enjoy dumb movies as much as the next person who enjoys dumb movies, and I enjoyed this one.
I’m in the minority of people that thoroughly enjoy this movie
Not requiem tho, requiem is ass
I have had verbatim the same take for years! I totally agree. AVP isn't at the level of alien or aliens but imo it beats resurrection and predator 4
AVP was my introduction to both franchises as a kid. It tried to meet half way with both main themes I noticed when I watched the older movies more recently.
Aliens is about unknown scary monsters hunting the people and threatening a containment problem. Where Predator movies tend to steer towards humanity overcoming an alien hunter that's collecting skulls of definitive predator creatures.
In AVP we get a containment issue with the unknown xenos as well as humans overcoming the hunters by joining them instead of killing them.
AVPR had both those things as well minus the team up but instead the people just get slaughtered in the crossfire between the two creatures
This movie? Yeah, not bad. It's fine.
Jesus Fucking Christ the sequel though
The darkest movie ever made
Man this movie is such a big part of my childhood. Alien and Predator were two of the first horror movies my dad showed me and the Predator specifically has been our shared favorite alien in any movie. I don't think I would be as close to my dad as I am if it were fore these cheesy 90s and 00s movies
Was always bothered by the gestation period for the aliens in this movie being like 10 minutes tops, but this is the first time Ive heard someone say "well they're super aliens". As awful an explanation as it is, it somehow has put my mind at ease after all these years.
Now we need a Mr Sunday Movies vs Toy Galaxy episode
