He was still an inexperienced hunter though. He wasn't able to adjust his masks filter to detect Dutch even when camoflaged, and he did underestimate Dutch completely. He was surely honoring Dutch, but a older Predator with a lot of successful hunts would have just taken Dutch. The guy is, if i remember correctly, a young blood, a hunter on one of his first if not his first hunt of some worthy prey, humans in this case. This explains why he uses even unskilled weapons like the shoulder cannon. That gun is reserved for "clearing through enemies", its not a honorable weapon. The spear gun on the other hand, is, since it uses projectiles that can still miss and need to be fired manually aimed with skill. Same with the arm blades, you still need to fight someone up close. But he killed from the safety of being cloaked most of the time, something that is NOT considered too honorable, he was just looking for more marks on his mask, more etches on his totem, so he could be considered a worthy hunter.
@@derBenIsPlaying The predator had been hunting on Earth since Anna (the woman from the camp) was a child - remember she tells them about the skinned bodies in her village when she was little. Perhaps relatively inexperienced in predator terms, but not its first hunt.
I met up with an old friend earlier today and as he got out of his car I shouted "Dillon, you sonofabitch!!" 😂 Then we did the hand macho hand shake 😂🤣😂🤣
I was a concept designer on Iron Man III, and Shane here 5:20 was my boss. At work, one morning, I told him the same joke. Before I could finish, a female PA came in, and he stopped me. He laughed, and said, "No need to finish, man. I heard this one!" Hahaha Greatest boss ever. We celebrated Shane's 50th birthday at the office. During his speech, the Lethal Weapon writer said fittingly, "I can now say it. I'm too old for this shit!"
I dont think its recorded, but the predator itself mimicking it. Its a "predator" after all, capable of mimicking sounds of its prey to lure and hunt. He also repeats Dutchs "what the hell are you" at the end.
@@chrismacias305 And he was also a racist pos. How he thought he'd get elected to any office saying what he did about Arab people is beyond me. Especially since the Republican party hadn't gone down the Trump rabbit hole quite yet at that point where you can say anything and everything you want with zero consequences most of the time.
Does that also include Klingon and Romulan too? What about Skyrim's dragonspeak as heard in this Dragonborn song? th-cam.com/video/bwJc-AknFEo/w-d-xo.html

...and then they pull off a good reversal. Hunters of men become hunted by an invisible hunter who is hunted by an invisible mud covered Arnie in the end.
Hi Coby. Former U.S. Navy special operations support team member here. I worked with Navy SEALs, Riverines, Beachmasters, and often with other branches' spec ops teams in the Middle East during the 2000s. You asked how Billy was able to determine six or eight men solely by footprints. By examining the ground, the tracker can identify and count six distinct sets of footprints. Each person has a unique walking pattern, foot size, and weight distribution, which slightly alters their footprints. A skilled tracker can distinguish these subtle differences to count the exact number of individuals.Military teams often move in specific formations and exhibit disciplined movement. The tracker might notice that the footprints are spaced in a way that suggests tactical movement, such as spreading out to maintain stealth or moving in a coordinated manner.
Great information! Thank you. BTW what is your opinion of the 1997 film "G.I. Jane" starring Demi Moore and Viggo Mortensen, assuming that you've seen it?
I personalluy enjoy Predator 2 more because it takes the Die Hard route and instead of a buff type like Arnold, they get someone that is more like Bruce Willis.
Always amazes me how well this movie holds up. Glad you enjoyed it, my brother and I wore out the VHS tape watching it WAY too many times. Oops, just aged myself.
The Expendables film series, particularly the second one, might give it a run for its money for the most Macho prize. BTW "The Thing" (1982) was very unique as a horror film in that it had an all male cast. But Ripley, the PTSD female in Aliens was the most Macho of characters in movie history.
The guy in the Aussie hat (“I ain’t got time to bleed”) is Jesse Ventura, former Navy SEAL turned pro-wrestler turned actor turned one-term Governor of Minnesota. 😎👍
To answer your questions near the end: The Predator didn’t kill Dutch immediately because he earned the Predator’s respect. That’s also why he dumped his ranged weapons and fought Dutch hand-to-hand. And yes, the Predator noticed the trap. I like how he takes a few seconds to examine it, almost as if he admired it (before going around and falling into the backup trap).
It wasn’t a backup trap. It was the counterweight for the trap the Predator sniffed out and was going around. Dutch just realized he happened to walk beneath where the log would come down, so he kicked out the original trap.
Watching Predator with Coby is probably the best date I've ever been on. "Alien Vs. Predator is just two aliens." Dayum, Coby, you are smart. That never occurred to me. lol
The original "Predator" from 1987 is a virtual masterpiece, a perfect film. They just don't make really gritty, heavy, muscular, tough movies like this today. I've probably watched Predator hundreds of times in my life but I always love revisiting it again. Coby's reactions here are so much fun to see! We know what's coming, but she doesn't, and when she screams it is so much fun! It's awesome seeing this movie through her fresh eyes.
Carey Jones now took the part of portraying the protagonist behind the costume. He also played the role of Black Krrsantan in The book of Boba Fett ... and as soon as i saw Black Krrsantan i could almost knew right away that the movement was very simular to a Predator...so ilooked it up and it turned out that i was right! It was an actor that was behind the two costumes!
He was also the helicopter pilot at the end. McTiernan wanted to give him a cameo because he appreciated the hard work how tiresome wearing the predator outfit was.
@@tannhauser5399 That's because the suit he was wearing was ridiculous. Luckily Stan Winston stepped in, redesigned it and probably said "Look, just get an insanely huge mofo". Rip Stan Winston & Kevin Peter Hall
24:35 Blasting the jungle only in "general direction" was a Vietnam-era anti-sniper doctrine, ie. everyone in the vicinity shoots the whole magazine. On the other hand, later in the movie when the table turned, we see the Predator sending plasma bolt after plasma bolt into the jungle after an invisible enemy. Which tells something about the genius of John McTiernan, the director of this and many iconic movies.
I was a projectionist when Predator (and Predator 2) came out. I socked away an original complete trailer for it. It is still in the packaging and was never threaded through the projector. A prize possession worth nothing but maybe bragging rights.
My #1 Favorite Arnold Schwarzenegger movie from my childhood! Originally Jean Claude Van Damme was hired to play the PREDATOR but quit the project as he was tired of wearing the suit, which looked like a lizard/insect hybrid, as he complained the suit was too hot. 7'2" Kevin Peter Hall, 1955-1991, was hired to play the Predator as he was more of intimidating opponent for Dutch and his men. Sonny Landham 1941-2017, who played Billy, was given a bodyguard not to protect him from people, but to protect people from him as he was prone to violent outbursts. Landham even said in an interview that ,"We weren't making a movie, it was a survival story for all of us." Half the cast and crew got food poisoning, except for Schwarzenegger and Director John McTiernan, as they ate Spaghetti-O's and PBJ sandwiches. Schwarzenegger would hire his own personal chef to give the actors the food they needed. No hot meals were allowed onset due to the 109 degree heat, as the actors ate protein bars. The scene where the stuntman falls ofd the cliff and lands in the water blew out his kneecap. It rained for 2 weeks, which made filming even more difficult. Oscar Winning VFX artist Stan Winston, 1946-2008, was brought in to make the new PREDATOR suit for the movie, in order to make the creature more realism and make it more scarier in the final cut. Winston would return to the franchise for PREDATOR 2 in 1990. The film was a box office and critical success, making $100 million dollars ($264 million dollars today) against an $18 million dollar budget. It was nominated for Best Visual Effects, but lost to InnerSpace.
@@steamro11r At 10:32, she says that she used to think that the creature was an animal and that seeing the spaceship made her realize that it was an alien. She does mention "animal" several more times after that, but I think that she was imagining a more animalistic alien, like the ones in Aliens, not a humanoid, technology-using alien.
The Predator is a big game hunter from another planet. He hunts humans because they are the most dangerous game on the planet. The Predator skins his game and makes trophies of his kills. Billy cuts himself before going into battle because as a Native American warrior he wants to be the first to draw blood.
My family had a condo on the beach in Puerto Vallarta, Mx. when "Predator" (1987) came out. I learned that the firefight with the guerillas was shot at "El Eden" restaurant in the jungle down the coast about 45 min. drive by Jeep. You drive S. via a highway to Mismaloya, Mx. & then turn E. on a dirt road into the jungle. My G.F. & I went down to P.V. for a wk. vacation around 1990. At the time the movie was shot & when we visited, El Eden only served from like 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. as they had no electricity. All the cooking & cleaning was done via wood fires & ovens. In the movie, you see railings in some shots along walkways. A small river runs along side of the restaurant with a waterfall. Above the falls, the current has worn the river bed down to smooth solid rock. Customers can swim & play in the river. The current is swift & if you scoot out into the current it will shoot you off of the water fall & into a large pool below. There was no facilities other than the restaurant so we had to walk into the jungle to change into our swimsuits. Just think of stripping down to change in the same jungle where the Predator was watching from the trees. Thank God my G.F. was beautiful as I completely forgot about the Predator. We went off of the falls in tandem with her sitting between my legs. After a swim in the jungle pool we ate dinner & headed back to P.V. I looked up El Eden on line & they have made it all touristy with Predator memorabilia. Just 1 of many memories in my old age.
This really was a breath of fresh air as a reaction. So many people faking reactions. glad to see someone who didn't enjoy it as much but appreciated it nonetheless.
This is my favorite movie of all time. Came out when I was a senior in h.s. and still hold number one. It has my favorite Arnie one liner too. In the hut he throws the knife at the guy and says "Stick arowwwwnd". A funny thing is that for the kind of movie it is you wouldn't expect that two of these guys because governors. Arnie - California, Jesse Ventura - Minnesota. Nobody would've guys that when it came out. Besides that the director got sentenced to prison for wiretapping and lying to the FBI over and over.
Excellent. You were catching on to virtually everything as it went along!! Great!!! The helicopter pilot at the end is the actor who portrayed the preditor! Kevin Peter Hall. Sadly he passed a few short years after this film. As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
That was his second best line in this movie. The best is, "You bunch of slack jawed fa****. This stuff will make you a God-damned sexual Tyrannosaurus, just like me."
The taking off of the suit and fight at the end is the same meme as when Riggs and Mr. Joshua take "a shot a the title" at the end of 'Lethal Weapon'. It was a big common scene in '80s action flims.
- The guy with glasses telling jokes trying to get Billy to laugh is Shane Black, who wrote a bunch of other 1980's & 1990's action movies, most of them set around Christmas.. - The guy with the mustache and minigun ("I ain't got time to bleed") is former pro wrestler Jesse Ventura, who was later Mayor of Bloomington, MN and Governor of MN. Before pro wrestling he was a Navy UDT frogman, but was never deployed to a SEAL team. He was in a bunch of 1980's and 1990's action movies, including Arnold's "The Running man" (also 1987) and Stallone's "Demolition Man" (1993). After acting in movies with Arnold he stopped using his wrestling nickname "The Body" 😏 - The bald black guy is Bill Duke, who was in a bunch of 1980's and 1990's action movies, including "Commando" - Sonny Langham, playing Billy the tracker, later ran unsuccessfully for Governor of Kentucky.
John McTiernan and James Cameron are pretty much the only reason anyone has fond memories of 80s action movies. It's crazy that there might be half a dozen movies out of the all the hundreds of action movies made in the entire decade of the 80s that anyone remembers today other than theirs.
I don't know if they still do it, but back in 1996 my family and I vacationed in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. The nearby jungle is where Predator was filmed, and we went on a tour to the famous waterfall. My brother and I recreated the mud scene, and took pics with a prop helicopter that was there. Good times.
Fan fact : Actors Jesse Ventura (Blane) and Richard Chaves (Poncho) are real American Soldiers, both true Vietnam veterans. Arnold was a soldier in Austria. He was a tank driver.
There are actors who play badasses, then there are badasses who act. Sonny Landham, who played the tracker Billy, had to have a bodyguard assigned to him when he went into town during filming to drink. The bodyguard wasn't to protect him, it was to protect the townspeople from him when he got drunk. The first of Arnold's team to be killed, Hawkins, was played by Shane Black who isn't known so much as an actor as he is as a writer. He created the Lethal Weapon franchise and wrote the first movie.
The key piece of information that's slowly revealed is that the Predator is a trophy hunter, who only goes after the most dangerous game (which on Earth, is humans, specifically armed humans), and while he is a hunter/predator, he also abides by a code of honor, as many hunters do. He doesn't kill the unarmed/those who aren't a danger to him - only those who are armed and are potentially dangerous. And like many hunters, he keeps trophies of his kills. Predator 2 reveals a bit more of this, but this is an important foundation to the lore.
There are lots of other hunting details, like the way the Predator imitates his prey in order to draw them, e.g. Mac's "Any time" and Billy's laugh. Depending on the species, hunters often avoid killing females in order to keep their hunting grounds populated. When he traps Dutch he decides to fight him mano a mano to make the kill more memorable. He also takes a good long look at Dutch's skull, noticing what a magnificent specimen it is.
for it's time the special effects of the predator, the camo was pretty cool. I think the practical effects of the predator, like the suit and his whole getup look great! it holds up really well. it looks awesome.. gruesome and horrifying :D :D
Few well known faces (and less known) too: Bill Duke, from Commando (the one to whom Arnold said that he is eating Green Berets for breakfast), and one of the "Russian" guys in the camp is Sven-Ole Thorsen (uncredited in this role), friend of Arnold (who also had a small roles in Read Heat, Conan the Barbarian, Conan the Destroyer, The Running Man, Last Action Hero and so on).
Ya, ex-Navy SEAL, ex-pro wrestler, ex-actor(20 movies), ex-mayor, ex-governor, ex-conspiracy theorist. I worked out with him once in Minneapolis. He never lifted a weight the whole time, just talked and talked.
Kevin Peter Hall, may he rest in peace, was the actor who played the Predator. He's also the black helicopter pilot at the end of the film. A costumeless cameo, if you will. =)
One of the top 5 best action movies ever. I love this one a lot. Seen it countless times since I was a kid. Until today, for whatever reason, I thought Anna was saying, “When it killed the big man, you must have WANTED it.” Instead of “..must have WOUNDED it. Its blood was on the leaves.” Never made sense - since I was about 8. But today I figured it out! Only took 35 YEARS. I’m super smart.
Funny that female reactors almost never understand that. She, and all women i saw really, completely misunderstand these scenes. Maybe something about warrior culture and male dna.
Predator mimicking and taunting Dutch's men is not only intimidating 😳 but downright scary. Especially when the Predator uses Billy's laugh at the end of the film before the Predator nuked himself! -OG
The big guy with the mini gun was Jesse Ventura. Real life Navy SEAL, WWE wrestler and former governor of MN. The movie was filmed in southern Mexico. Also, Mac (Bill Duke) was in Commando with Arnie which you watched a while back. He was the dude who got into a fight with Arnie in hotel room.
The Predator (2018) is one of the worst movies every made... but yes.. you are factually accurate. IMO... Predator 2 (1990) is like a B+ grade.. fun and Predators (#3 2010) with Adrian Brody and Lawrence Fishburne is an underrated film... B+ as well
As always a very enjoyable watch along to one of my favourite movies. The cute little dog must have seen this movie before because it only had eyes for you Coby......cheers.
He was not a Navy SEAL. He was on the, Underwater Demolition Team (UDT). In order to be on a SEAL Team, you need to be assigned to the team. He was never assigned to a team.
@@Williameagleblanket That's semantic bullshit. As someone who served for 10 years in the US Navy (Hospital Corpsman), whenever someone completes training for the rating they are going into, they are rated. Full stop. Whether or not they got assigned to a team, or got deployed, or saw combat, or whatever other nonsense prerequisite standard you wish to invent. If you were rated for a job, you were rated for a job. People were always pulling bullshit like that to try to make themselves seem better than others in the service, and I find that shit *REPULSIVE*. It's petty. Since UDT had the same training as SEALS (BUD/S), and UDT no longer exists, the technicality is essentially meaningless. For all intents and purposes, he rates being called a SEAL, because that's the only equivalent role in the Navy today. People literally *DIE* in BUD/S. You go ahead a risk your life for something which has a 80% failure rate, accomplish it, then spend the rest of your life having trolls tell you don't rate. See how that sits with you. It doesn't serve anyone to exclude him.
@@AMortalDefiant Yep, you could have just said "Navy Seals consider UDT Frogmen to be Navy Seals for all intents and purposes". Nobody else's opinion really matters.
There have been tests done on this and yes, mud does obscure infrared signals. It depends on how hot the thing is it's trying to see, and how thick the mud covering is, but it does have an effect.
It was fun watching this with you, as always! Great reaction. I think you'll really like the prequel movie "Prey" from a couple of years ago, it's a wonderful film. Thanks!
Hey, Coby! "Predator" is a Schwarzenegger action classic directed, as you stated, by John McTiernan, director of "Die Hard", "Die Hard with a Vengeance", "The Hunt for Red October", "Medicine Man", "The Thomas Crown Affair" remake and "The 13th Warrior". The Schwarzenegger-accented "Get to the chopper!" became a popular catch-phrase that entered into the general lexicon which is how you became acquainted with it. The Predator species name is YAUTJA (YOWT-ja). They are interstellar sportsmen whose entire culture revolves around big game hunting. They test themselves against apex predators which often includes sentient beings like man. They have a code in that they do not kill the unarmed or the infirm as it is not challenging nor do they kill pregnant prey as a way of husbanding the livestock. If vanquished, they leave no trace of themselves behind by detonating a powerful bomb so as to leave the "preserve" pristine by not contaminating the indigenous culture with their technology. As a rite of passage, they must blood themselves by killing a xenomorph from the "Alien" series. If prey is worthy by offering good sport and defeating the hunter, the tribe will bestow the victor with a trophy. There's a pretty good Predator fan film on TH-cam set in the Middle Ages with knights called "Predator: Dark Ages" starring Adrian Bouchet (Steapa) from "The Last Kingdom"! The movie is an alien variant of "The Most Dangerous Game", the Richard Connell short story from 1924 which has inspired countless man-hunting-man movies like "Hard Target", "The Naked Prey", "Race with the Devil", "Southern Comfort", "The Running Man", "Surviving the Game" and "Beyond the Reach". The Central American guerrillas were probably Communists receiving supply and support from Russian advisors explaining the Soviet presence. Billy faced off against the Predator alone because he would rather die fighting than running; it was a matter of honor. He drew first blood with his machete so that the Predator would not have the privilege. It's a Native American custom. Anna was unarmed and, therefore, spared. Wounded Poncho was killed because he had already been marked as a combatant and was still holding a weapon. The Predator released Dutch, took off its mask and fought him hand-to-hand because it considered Dutch to be worthwhile prey. The Predator repeated Dutch's question back to him, "What the he!! are you?" as a way of expressing begrudging admiration for the puny meatbag that bested him. The last laugh was the Predator's mimicry. It was using a recording of Billy's laughter at Hawkins' lewd joke to express a fatalistic defiance to Dutch. Three of the cast went into politics! Schwarzenegger became Governor of California, former wrestler Jesse "The Body" Ventura, who played heavy-gunner Blaine, became Governor of Minnesota and Sonny Landham, who played tracker Billy, ran for Governor of Kentucky. Jean Claude Van Damme was supposed to be the Predator originally but he had difficulty with the alien suit as initially designed and was considered too small in stature to be threatening! Special Effects maestro Stan Winston was tasked with redesigning the alien to fit the 7'2" Kevin Peter Hall who appears, unmasked, as the helicopter pilot at the end. The dreds were inspired by a Rastafarian painting in producer Joel Silver's office and the mandibles were the contribution of a napkin sketch by director James Cameron who shared a flight and a brainstorming conversation with Winston by pure chance! Danny Glover stars in the underrated urban-set "PREDATOR 2" which has some memorable set pieces and provides more lore! Dark Horse comics capitalized on crossing the Predator franchise with the Alien franchise inspiring Hollywood to make TWO crossover "ALIEN vs. PREDATOR" films with moderately successful to excellent results. They're fun and exciting guilty pleasures with the second one, "ALIENS vs. PREDATOR: REQUIEM", being particularly lean and mean. There is also a "PREDATORS" film produced by Robert Rodriguez that is definitely worth a look. "THE PREDATOR" (2018) REBOOT, however, should be approached with caution as it very nearly killed the franchise! The 18th-century set "PREY" is an excellent prequel to the original film which was released on Hulu. The Alien films have a RICHER SUBTEXT while the Predator films are more ACTION FARE but they're both fun sci-fi thrillers.

Coby, the cowboy guy who didn't have time to bleed was Jesse Ventura. He is a former pro wrestler who went by Jesse "The Body" Ventura. Then he also was the Governor of Minnesota.
10:56 this is why I love watching reactions to my favorite movies. It's like revisiting my first time watching them and being hyped about all the questions, mysteries, and details. about as close as we can get to rewatching a movie for the first time all over again
The reason why the tracker is so good (no offense to anyone) is that he is an American native and it is said they used American natives as trackers in the service since WW2... Nuff said
😃 sniff the dirt dude. Also Believe the novel dives into his heritage and he has a sort of mysticism and senses/feels the predator even tho he doesn't see
Hahahaha, when Arnold hosted "The Apprentice" for a brief time, his buddy Jon Lovitz (the comedian) was a contestant on the show. When he lost, Arnold said to him, "Jon, get to the choppa."
"Coby...Its not what I had expected at all" this is what got everyone that went to see it at the movies it was billed as a war movie and previews showed or mentioned nothing about what the predator was. That was part of the mystery of the movie and made it more believable and appealing to audiences.
My favorite way to read this movie is a cautionary tale about going camping with your ex. Dutch and Dillon aren’t together anymore, Dillon has contrived to throw them back together, and all of Dutch’s friends know Dillon is bad news.
Welcome to the jungle

@@Eduardo-yj5cd you're luggage
Towards the end, the Predator was honoring Dutch for being worthy prey, which is why it opted to fight him without weapons.
The Predator thought he could beat the shit out of Dutch with his bare fists, but he was surprised at the end when he fell into a trap.
He was still an inexperienced hunter though. He wasn't able to adjust his masks filter to detect Dutch even when camoflaged, and he did underestimate Dutch completely. He was surely honoring Dutch, but a older Predator with a lot of successful hunts would have just taken Dutch. The guy is, if i remember correctly, a young blood, a hunter on one of his first if not his first hunt of some worthy prey, humans in this case.
This explains why he uses even unskilled weapons like the shoulder cannon. That gun is reserved for "clearing through enemies", its not a honorable weapon. The spear gun on the other hand, is, since it uses projectiles that can still miss and need to be fired manually aimed with skill. Same with the arm blades, you still need to fight someone up close. But he killed from the safety of being cloaked most of the time, something that is NOT considered too honorable, he was just looking for more marks on his mask, more etches on his totem, so he could be considered a worthy hunter.
Just like Billy did.

By examining the ground, the tracker can identify and count six distinct sets of footprints. Each person has a unique walking pattern, foot size, and weight distribution, which slightly alters their footprints. A skilled tracker can distinguish these subtle differences to count the exact number of individuals.Military teams often move in specific formations and exhibit disciplined movement. The tracker might notice that the footprints are spaced in a way that suggests tactical movement, such as spreading out to maintain stealth or moving in a coordinated manner.
Incredible reply, Chris - thank you for your service, and just blown away at how that all works. Amazing
Great information! Thank you. BTW what is your opinion of the 1997 film "G.I. Jane" starring Demi Moore and Viggo Mortensen, assuming that you've seen it?
@@criminalcontenthe's lying, this is a copy/paste of a comment I saw from another account on another Predator reaction
@GeorgeTropicana, why would that mean he's lying? Could it be a Navy Seal just likes Predator reactions?
@@edge85saint do you not know what copy/paste means or can you just not read in general?
Predator 2 is underrated but getting more appreciation lately. It does a great job of expanding the lore and introduces some cool new weaponry.
I personalluy enjoy Predator 2 more because it takes the Die Hard route and instead of a buff type like Arnold, they get someone that is more like Bruce Willis.
Also, Danny Glover and María Conchita Alonso.
Expanding the lore or just putting an Alien skull amongst all the props in the Predators ship and by accident creating a whole new AvP universe lol
I think that whole voodoo drug gang thing really sucks. But the movie gets good once it's down to the predator and Danny Glover
After Predator 2, Prey is a great movie and the latest in the Predator franchise.
I got chest hair from watching this movie.
My head changed 50 shades of grey since I first watched this movie.
Me too, and I'm not a man! ;)
@@tannhauser5399 Futa !D
Looking good, dutch.
Now you're a _gaadttdamn_ sexual Tyrannosaurus!...
I absolutely love your joy over "Get to the chopper!"....like a kid in a candy store. lol
I will continue to watch anything with Coby in it.
It's all we got
The most beautiful 40 year old reactor.
@@ITPalGamemost beautiful any age reactor.
@@ITPalGame The most backhanded compliment...
@@halfvader8015?
I was a little kid when I first saw this, like 8 or 9 y/o, I loved it. This will always be one of my favorite action movies.
It was such a original movie and the Predator reveal was great. Excellent job Coby!
Always amazes me how well this movie holds up. Glad you enjoyed it, my brother and I wore out the VHS tape watching it WAY too many times. Oops, just aged myself.
Predator is THE most MACHO of MACHO movies of all eternity, nothing will ever be as macho.
Lone wolf Mquade is another good one
"I ain't got time to bleed". The most macho line ever.
very true! I actually grew a full moustache when Dutch and Dylan greeted each other, and I was only 10 years old
The Expendables film series, particularly the second one, might give it a run for its money for the most Macho prize. BTW "The Thing" (1982) was very unique as a horror film in that it had an all male cast. But Ripley, the PTSD female in Aliens was the most Macho of characters in movie history.
@@DaBinChe Yeah, this kind of film would not get made today without some badass chicks in it.
Jesse Ventura was the best character in this movie. He knew perfectly how to play this role. "I Aint Got Time To Bleed" 😂
The guy in the Aussie hat (“I ain’t got time to bleed”) is Jesse Ventura, former Navy SEAL turned pro-wrestler turned actor turned one-term Governor of Minnesota. 😎👍
Yes he thinks JFK wasn't killed by Oswald alone
To answer your questions near the end:
The Predator didn’t kill Dutch immediately because he earned the Predator’s respect. That’s also why he dumped his ranged weapons and fought Dutch hand-to-hand.
And yes, the Predator noticed the trap. I like how he takes a few seconds to examine it, almost as if he admired it (before going around and falling into the backup trap).
She doesn’t read these comments, bro
She doesn't because this is not her TH-cam channel. It's a channel that picks the best reactors for maximum views, and therefore maximum revenue.
It wasn’t a backup trap. It was the counterweight for the trap the Predator sniffed out and was going around. Dutch just realized he happened to walk beneath where the log would come down, so he kicked out the original trap.
It beggars belief that so many people don't realise this and think that its a trap!@@MarkSashegyi
The Predator voice is done by the one and only Peter Cullen who was the voice for Optimus Prime and Eeyore from Winnie The Pooh.
Watching Predator with Coby is probably the best date I've ever been on. "Alien Vs. Predator is just two aliens." Dayum, Coby, you are smart. That never occurred to me. lol
I never get tired of watching this movie, lost count how many times I’ve seen since a kid
The original "Predator" from 1987 is a virtual masterpiece, a perfect film. They just don't make really gritty, heavy, muscular, tough movies like this today. I've probably watched Predator hundreds of times in my life but I always love revisiting it again. Coby's reactions here are so much fun to see! We know what's coming, but she doesn't, and when she screams it is so much fun! It's awesome seeing this movie through her fresh eyes.
Kevin Peter Hall was already 7' 2" without the suit. The Predator was massive. 😮
R.I.P Kevin Peter Hall
Carey Jones now took the part of portraying the protagonist behind the costume. He also played the role of Black Krrsantan in The book of Boba Fett ... and as soon as i saw Black Krrsantan i could almost knew right away that the movement was very simular to a Predator...so ilooked it up and it turned out that i was right! It was an actor that was behind the two costumes!
True, and I'm glad that Van Damme at the end resigned from that role, as originally he was the one that suppose to be wearing Predator suit.
He was also the helicopter pilot at the end. McTiernan wanted to give him a cameo because he appreciated the hard work how tiresome wearing the predator outfit was.
@@tannhauser5399 That's because the suit he was wearing was ridiculous. Luckily Stan Winston stepped in, redesigned it and probably said "Look, just get an insanely huge mofo". Rip Stan Winston & Kevin Peter Hall
The laughing at the end was not the Predator, it was the Predator replaying Billy's laugh from the echo joke from earlier.
Always fun watching Coby react to Arnold movies 😂😊
24:35 Blasting the jungle only in "general direction" was a Vietnam-era anti-sniper doctrine, ie. everyone in the vicinity shoots the whole magazine. On the other hand, later in the movie when the table turned, we see the Predator sending plasma bolt after plasma bolt into the jungle after an invisible enemy.
Which tells something about the genius of John McTiernan, the director of this and many iconic movies.
Seeing this back in the 80s when it first came out was magical! Seeing people still watching it and loving it is priceless.
I was a projectionist when Predator (and Predator 2) came out. I socked away an original complete trailer for it. It is still in the packaging and was never threaded through the projector. A prize possession worth nothing but maybe bragging rights.
My #1 Favorite Arnold Schwarzenegger movie from my childhood!
Originally Jean Claude Van Damme was hired to play the PREDATOR but quit the project as he was tired of wearing the suit, which looked like a lizard/insect hybrid, as he complained the suit was too hot. 7'2" Kevin Peter Hall, 1955-1991, was hired to play the Predator as he was more of intimidating opponent for Dutch and his men.
Sonny Landham 1941-2017, who played Billy, was given a bodyguard not to protect him from people, but to protect people from him as he was prone to violent outbursts.
Landham even said in an interview that ,"We weren't making a movie, it was a survival story for all of us."
Half the cast and crew got food poisoning, except for Schwarzenegger and Director John McTiernan, as they ate Spaghetti-O's and PBJ sandwiches. Schwarzenegger would hire his own personal chef to give the actors the food they needed. No hot meals were allowed onset due to the 109 degree heat, as the actors ate protein bars.
The scene where the stuntman falls ofd the cliff and lands in the water blew out his kneecap.
It rained for 2 weeks, which made filming even more difficult.
Oscar Winning VFX artist Stan Winston, 1946-2008, was brought in to make the new PREDATOR suit for the movie, in order to make the creature more realism and make it more scarier in the final cut.
Winston would return to the franchise for PREDATOR 2 in 1990.
The film was a box office and critical success, making $100 million dollars ($264 million dollars today) against an $18 million dollar budget.
It was nominated for Best Visual Effects, but lost to InnerSpace.
17:17 It was shot in Mexico and Arnie took his own cook which worked out for him because he didn't get the food poisoning the others ended up getting.
Gosh, you pick up things on first viewing that many folks don't ever pick up! 🙂
except for the fact that an alien pod drops from a space ship and thinks its just some animal
She mentioned camouflage early on and it turned out to be a major plot point in the movie.
@@steamro11r At 10:32, she says that she used to think that the creature was an animal and that seeing the spaceship made her realize that it was an alien. She does mention "animal" several more times after that, but I think that she was imagining a more animalistic alien, like the ones in Aliens, not a humanoid, technology-using alien.
2 new words we have from Coby today. "Lasery" and "Jungley" 😂 Too cute.
The Predator is a big game hunter from another planet. He hunts humans because they are the most dangerous game on the planet. The Predator skins his game and makes trophies of his kills.
Billy cuts himself before going into battle because as a Native American warrior he wants to be the first to draw blood.
Always happy to bring "get to the choppah" to a new generation
My family had a condo on the beach in Puerto Vallarta, Mx. when "Predator" (1987) came out. I learned that the firefight with the guerillas was shot at "El Eden" restaurant in the jungle down the coast about 45 min. drive by Jeep. You drive S. via a highway to Mismaloya, Mx. & then turn E. on a dirt road into the jungle. My G.F. & I went down to P.V. for a wk. vacation around 1990. At the time the movie was shot & when we visited, El Eden only served from like 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. as they had no electricity. All the cooking & cleaning was done via wood fires & ovens. In the movie, you see railings in some shots along walkways. A small river runs along side of the restaurant with a waterfall. Above the falls, the current has worn the river bed down to smooth solid rock. Customers can swim & play in the river. The current is swift & if you scoot out into the current it will shoot you off of the water fall & into a large pool below. There was no facilities other than the restaurant so we had to walk into the jungle to change into our swimsuits. Just think of stripping down to change in the same jungle where the Predator was watching from the trees. Thank God my G.F. was beautiful as I completely forgot about the Predator. We went off of the falls in tandem with her sitting between my legs. After a swim in the jungle pool we ate dinner & headed back to P.V. I looked up El Eden on line & they have made it all touristy with Predator memorabilia. Just 1 of many memories in my old age.
Coby, you're becoming one of my top movie reactors. Commando now Predator. LFG!
many thanks !
I love how you say "get to the choppa!"
The mud thing blocking body heat actually works. It was tested on a TH-cam channel awhile back.
Watched it million time and never knew about it. I thought it was made for the movie. Great share.
Predator is my FAVORITE film. So much so, that I have a Predator arm sleeve on my whole right arm! LOVE THIS FILM and the character.
This really was a breath of fresh air as a reaction. So many people faking reactions. glad to see someone who didn't enjoy it as much but appreciated it nonetheless.
If you haven't already, you should react to 'The Thirteenth Warrior'. It's another McTiernan banger with Vikings!
Yes! Yes! The Thirteenth Warrior!

@@chriskenney4234 When you die... Can I give it to my daughter?
This is my favorite movie of all time. Came out when I was a senior in h.s. and still hold number one. It has my favorite Arnie one liner too. In the hut he throws the knife at the guy and says "Stick arowwwwnd". A funny thing is that for the kind of movie it is you wouldn't expect that two of these guys because governors. Arnie - California, Jesse Ventura - Minnesota. Nobody would've guys that when it came out. Besides that the director got sentenced to prison for wiretapping and lying to the FBI over and over.
Excellent. You were catching on to virtually everything as it went along!! Great!!!
The helicopter pilot at the end is the actor who portrayed the preditor! Kevin Peter Hall. Sadly he passed a few short years after this film.
As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
The ending. With the sitcom type of acknowledging the actors. It is so unique. I like it.
"The cowboy and the Scorpion...King" 😂😂
Also, the slow pan reaction up to Hawkins' body was great lol
I ain't got time to bleed." The Body/the governor had one the greatest lines in movie history
That was his second best line in this movie. The best is, "You bunch of slack jawed fa****. This stuff will make you a God-damned sexual Tyrannosaurus, just like me."
The taking off of the suit and fight at the end is the same meme as when Riggs and Mr. Joshua take "a shot a the title" at the end of 'Lethal Weapon'. It was a big common scene in '80s action flims.
- The guy with glasses telling jokes trying to get Billy to laugh is Shane Black, who wrote a bunch of other 1980's & 1990's action movies, most of them set around Christmas..
- The guy with the mustache and minigun ("I ain't got time to bleed") is former pro wrestler Jesse Ventura, who was later Mayor of Bloomington, MN and Governor of MN. Before pro wrestling he was a Navy UDT frogman, but was never deployed to a SEAL team. He was in a bunch of 1980's and 1990's action movies, including Arnold's "The Running man" (also 1987) and Stallone's "Demolition Man" (1993). After acting in movies with Arnold he stopped using his wrestling nickname "The Body" 😏
- The bald black guy is Bill Duke, who was in a bunch of 1980's and 1990's action movies, including "Commando"
- Sonny Langham, playing Billy the tracker, later ran unsuccessfully for Governor of Kentucky.
also I believe Shane Black was a writer on Predator as well
04:34 That's the other Governor in this movie, Jesse Ventura. They also stared together in the movie the "Running Man"
When the Predator deems their prey a "worthy foe", it will shed it's advantages and fight them fair.
JOHN McTIERNAN is right up there with James Cameron for action directing. Pure focus on adrenaline and clear storytelling.
John McTiernan and James Cameron are pretty much the only reason anyone has fond memories of 80s action movies. It's crazy that there might be half a dozen movies out of the all the hundreds of action movies made in the entire decade of the 80s that anyone remembers today other than theirs.
Even after all these years me and my mates still laugh and quote “I’m gonna have me some fun I’m gonna have me some fun”😂
"Jaws of the Jungle."
😂
You never disappoint...
Talk about one-liners - Colbyisms!
😎
I don't know if they still do it, but back in 1996 my family and I vacationed in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. The nearby jungle is where Predator was filmed, and we went on a tour to the famous waterfall. My brother and I recreated the mud scene, and took pics with a prop helicopter that was there. Good times.
Fan fact : Actors Jesse Ventura (Blane) and Richard Chaves (Poncho) are real American Soldiers, both true Vietnam veterans. Arnold was a soldier in Austria. He was a tank driver.
Richard Chaves should be better recognised, in my opinion. He was a true soldier and adapted to the Poncho role perfectly, as we all know.
There are actors who play badasses, then there are badasses who act. Sonny Landham, who played the tracker Billy, had to have a bodyguard assigned to him when he went into town during filming to drink. The bodyguard wasn't to protect him, it was to protect the townspeople from him when he got drunk.
The first of Arnold's team to be killed, Hawkins, was played by Shane Black who isn't known so much as an actor as he is as a writer. He created the Lethal Weapon franchise and wrote the first movie.
The key piece of information that's slowly revealed is that the Predator is a trophy hunter, who only goes after the most dangerous game (which on Earth, is humans, specifically armed humans), and while he is a hunter/predator, he also abides by a code of honor, as many hunters do. He doesn't kill the unarmed/those who aren't a danger to him - only those who are armed and are potentially dangerous. And like many hunters, he keeps trophies of his kills. Predator 2 reveals a bit more of this, but this is an important foundation to the lore.
There are lots of other hunting details, like the way the Predator imitates his prey in order to draw them, e.g. Mac's "Any time" and Billy's laugh. Depending on the species, hunters often avoid killing females in order to keep their hunting grounds populated. When he traps Dutch he decides to fight him mano a mano to make the kill more memorable. He also takes a good long look at Dutch's skull, noticing what a magnificent specimen it is.
It's because Western women do not like to see violence against women on screen.
And I think this is like an adolescent rite of passage for them, right?
for it's time the special effects of the predator, the camo was pretty cool. I think the practical effects of the predator, like the suit and his whole getup look great! it holds up really well. it looks awesome.. gruesome and horrifying :D :D
The actor you didn't know at the beginning ("Who's that guy?") was Jesse Ventura who later went on to be Governor of Minnesota.
Few well known faces (and less known) too: Bill Duke, from Commando (the one to whom Arnold said that he is eating Green Berets for breakfast), and one of the "Russian" guys in the camp is Sven-Ole Thorsen (uncredited in this role), friend of Arnold (who also had a small roles in Read Heat, Conan the Barbarian, Conan the Destroyer, The Running Man, Last Action Hero and so on).
Ya, ex-Navy SEAL, ex-pro wrestler, ex-actor(20 movies), ex-mayor, ex-governor, ex-conspiracy theorist. I worked out with him once in Minneapolis. He never lifted a weight the whole time, just talked and talked.
Her reaction to “Get to the choppa” scene was so cute! 🥰🥰 I kept on rewinding it over and over and over again. ❤ I love her reaction videos. 😊
Kevin Peter Hall, may he rest in peace, was the actor who played the Predator. He's also the black helicopter pilot at the end of the film. A costumeless cameo, if you will. =)
47:31
One of the top 5 best action movies ever. I love this one a lot. Seen it countless times since I was a kid. Until today, for whatever reason, I thought Anna was saying, “When it killed the big man, you must have WANTED it.” Instead of “..must have WOUNDED it. Its blood was on the leaves.” Never made sense - since I was about 8. But today I figured it out! Only took 35 YEARS. I’m super smart.
It wasn't a malfunction. The predator saw Arnold as a worthy adversary and wanted to fight him hand-to-hand. It was a fight out of respect.
Funny that female reactors almost never understand that. She, and all women i saw really, completely misunderstand these scenes. Maybe something about warrior culture and male dna.
Let's not gloss over how much bigger he was than Arnold, and Arnold's huge. The actor was legitimately a giant in real life
“Coby! Get to da Choppa!”😎👍🤓🎥
I love the fact this has, "Translate to English" under it.
Hehehehe...
Predator mimicking and taunting Dutch's men is not only intimidating 😳 but downright scary. Especially when the Predator uses Billy's laugh at the end of the film before the Predator nuked himself! -OG
The predator found Dutch a worthy adversary so went hand to hand.
It had nothing to do with its tech being broken.
The big guy with the mini gun was Jesse Ventura. Real life Navy SEAL, WWE wrestler and former governor of MN. The movie was filmed in southern Mexico. Also, Mac (Bill Duke) was in Commando with Arnie which you watched a while back. He was the dude who got into a fight with Arnie in hotel room.
Coby!!!
The black helicopter pilot at the end, right after predator detonates himself
That pilot Is the actual guy who was in the predator suit!!!
Great reaction. Super refreshing watching this with someone who had zero idea what they were getting in to 😊
Fun Fact: Hawking (the pu$$y joke guy) is played by Shane Black, who went on to write and direct "The Predator" in 2018.
And lethal weapon 1 and 2, the Last boy scout, nice guys, kiss kiss bang bang, long kiss goodnight, monster squad
The Predator (2018) is one of the worst movies every made... but yes.. you are factually accurate.
IMO... Predator 2 (1990) is like a B+ grade.. fun
and Predators (#3 2010) with Adrian Brody and Lawrence Fishburne is an underrated film... B+ as well
Shane Black was killed off early so he could write Lethal Weapon.
@@ddcoddjob11 I agree. Although, I kinda put Predators above Predator 2. And yeah... The Predator was just awful.
@@WarGamerGirl They were trying to weaponize autism in THE PREDATOR... I thought that was 4CHAN's job! 😆
As always a very enjoyable watch along to one of my favourite movies. The cute little dog must have seen this movie before because it only had eyes for you Coby......cheers.
The second one to die, Blaine played by Jesse Ventura, is an actual U.S. Navy SEAL before he was a famous wrestler.
He was not a Navy SEAL. He was on the, Underwater Demolition Team (UDT). In order to be on a SEAL Team, you need to be assigned to the team. He was never assigned to a team.
@@Williameagleblanket He may not have been successfully assigned into a Team, but all UDT Teams were designated into SEAL Teams by President Kennedy
@@Williameagleblanket That's semantic bullshit. As someone who served for 10 years in the US Navy (Hospital Corpsman), whenever someone completes training for the rating they are going into, they are rated. Full stop. Whether or not they got assigned to a team, or got deployed, or saw combat, or whatever other nonsense prerequisite standard you wish to invent. If you were rated for a job, you were rated for a job. People were always pulling bullshit like that to try to make themselves seem better than others in the service, and I find that shit *REPULSIVE*. It's petty.
Since UDT had the same training as SEALS (BUD/S), and UDT no longer exists, the technicality is essentially meaningless. For all intents and purposes, he rates being called a SEAL, because that's the only equivalent role in the Navy today. People literally *DIE* in BUD/S. You go ahead a risk your life for something which has a 80% failure rate, accomplish it, then spend the rest of your life having trolls tell you don't rate. See how that sits with you. It doesn't serve anyone to exclude him.
@@AMortalDefiant Yep, you could have just said "Navy Seals consider UDT Frogmen to be Navy Seals for all intents and purposes". Nobody else's opinion really matters.
There have been tests done on this and yes, mud does obscure infrared signals. It depends on how hot the thing is it's trying to see, and how thick the mud covering is, but it does have an effect.
Cool action movie I hope you noticed that actor Bill Duke as Mac was in the movie Commando as well, he was great in this movie
Great video! I saw this movie when I was 8 years old and was totally mesmerized by it - love watching people react to this absolute 80's classic :)
Mac is gonna have his skull claimed as a trophy, you'll notice one skull has a burn mark on the forehead area, where he got shot by the Predator.
It was fun watching this with you, as always! Great reaction. I think you'll really like the prequel movie "Prey" from a couple of years ago, it's a wonderful film.
Thanks!
love these films from back in the day rip carl weathers
Haha! Love the commentary and reactions as well as some of the giggles 😂
Hey, Coby! "Predator" is a Schwarzenegger action classic directed, as you stated, by John McTiernan, director of "Die Hard", "Die Hard with a Vengeance", "The Hunt for Red October", "Medicine Man", "The Thomas Crown Affair" remake and "The 13th Warrior".
The Schwarzenegger-accented "Get to the chopper!" became a popular catch-phrase that entered into the general lexicon which is how you became acquainted with it.
The Predator species name is YAUTJA (YOWT-ja). They are interstellar sportsmen whose entire culture revolves around big game hunting. They test themselves against apex predators which often includes sentient beings like man. They have a code in that they do not kill the unarmed or the infirm as it is not challenging nor do they kill pregnant prey as a way of husbanding the livestock. If vanquished, they leave no trace of themselves behind by detonating a powerful bomb so as to leave the "preserve" pristine by not contaminating the indigenous culture with their technology. As a rite of passage, they must blood themselves by killing a xenomorph from the "Alien" series. If prey is worthy by offering good sport and defeating the hunter, the tribe will bestow the victor with a trophy.
There's a pretty good Predator fan film on TH-cam set in the Middle Ages with knights called "Predator: Dark Ages" starring Adrian Bouchet (Steapa) from "The Last Kingdom"!
The movie is an alien variant of "The Most Dangerous Game", the Richard Connell short story from 1924 which has inspired countless man-hunting-man movies like "Hard Target", "The Naked Prey", "Race with the Devil", "Southern Comfort", "The Running Man", "Surviving the Game" and "Beyond the Reach".
The Central American guerrillas were probably Communists receiving supply and support from Russian advisors explaining the Soviet presence.
Billy faced off against the Predator alone because he would rather die fighting than running; it was a matter of honor. He drew first blood with his machete so that the Predator would not have the privilege. It's a Native American custom.
Anna was unarmed and, therefore, spared. Wounded Poncho was killed because he had already been marked as a combatant and was still holding a weapon.
The Predator released Dutch, took off its mask and fought him hand-to-hand because it considered Dutch to be worthwhile prey.
The Predator repeated Dutch's question back to him, "What the he!! are you?" as a way of expressing begrudging admiration for the puny meatbag that bested him.
The last laugh was the Predator's mimicry. It was using a recording of Billy's laughter at Hawkins' lewd joke to express a fatalistic defiance to Dutch.
Three of the cast went into politics! Schwarzenegger became Governor of California, former wrestler Jesse "The Body" Ventura, who played heavy-gunner Blaine, became Governor of Minnesota and Sonny Landham, who played tracker Billy, ran for Governor of Kentucky.
Jean Claude Van Damme was supposed to be the Predator originally but he had difficulty with the alien suit as initially designed and was considered too small in stature to be threatening!
Special Effects maestro Stan Winston was tasked with redesigning the alien to fit the 7'2" Kevin Peter Hall who appears, unmasked, as the helicopter pilot at the end. The dreds were inspired by a Rastafarian painting in producer Joel Silver's office and the mandibles were the contribution of a napkin sketch by director James Cameron who shared a flight and a brainstorming conversation with Winston by pure chance!
Danny Glover stars in the underrated urban-set "PREDATOR 2" which has some memorable set pieces and provides more lore! Dark Horse comics capitalized on crossing the Predator franchise with the Alien franchise inspiring Hollywood to make TWO crossover "ALIEN vs. PREDATOR" films with moderately successful to excellent results. They're fun and exciting guilty pleasures with the second one, "ALIENS vs. PREDATOR: REQUIEM", being particularly lean and mean. There is also a "PREDATORS" film produced by Robert Rodriguez that is definitely worth a look. "THE PREDATOR" (2018) REBOOT, however, should be approached with caution as it very nearly killed the franchise! The 18th-century set "PREY" is an excellent prequel to the original film which was released on Hulu. The Alien films have a RICHER SUBTEXT while the Predator films are more ACTION FARE but they're both fun sci-fi thrillers.

Watching you process this , made this one of the best reactions to this movie I have ever seen. Super fun Coby!
Coby, the cowboy guy who didn't have time to bleed was Jesse Ventura. He is a former pro wrestler who went by Jesse "The Body" Ventura. Then he also was the Governor of Minnesota.
10:56 this is why I love watching reactions to my favorite movies. It's like revisiting my first time watching them and being hyped about all the questions, mysteries, and details. about as close as we can get to rewatching a movie for the first time all over again
Great reaction. You are one of the smartest movie reactors I've ever watched. Thank you!!
The reason why the tracker is so good (no offense to anyone) is that he is an American native and it is said they used American natives as trackers in the service since WW2... Nuff said
They were also code talkers in WW2 as well.
😃 sniff the dirt dude.
Also Believe the novel dives into his heritage and he has a sort of mysticism and senses/feels the predator even tho he doesn't see
What offence? You don't give offence, people take it. That's their problem.
Hahahaha, when Arnold hosted "The Apprentice" for a brief time, his buddy Jon Lovitz (the comedian) was a contestant on the show. When he lost, Arnold said to him, "Jon, get to the choppa."
Filmed in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico...you can take tours of the film set area where the water falls are.
"Coby...Its not what I had expected at all" this is what got everyone that went to see it at the movies it was billed as a war movie and previews showed or mentioned nothing about what the predator was. That was part of the mystery of the movie and made it more believable and appealing to audiences.
john mctiernan also did The Last Action Hero and die hard 3
Kudos with how smart you are. You are noticing and figuring out things that many ppl (including me upon 1st view) usually miss.
My favorite way to read this movie is a cautionary tale about going camping with your ex. Dutch and Dillon aren’t together anymore, Dillon has contrived to throw them back together, and all of Dutch’s friends know Dillon is bad news.
"I like that guy!" - that is the great Bill Duke : actor, director, producer. You saw him as "the green beret" in COMMANDO.
