This movie is a gem compared to Shane Blacks The Predator!!
Agreed.
So is the loaf I just pinched off hahahah
O god I’ll never watch that sane black film. I’ll maybe watch the unneeded last film the super prequel prey. with the native America women in it before I watch weaponizing autism sub plot. A very insensitive one in my opinion.
Nothing is gonna beat Bill Duke unloading a minigun into the jungle.
" AHHHHH ! "
That scene was like gun porn to me.
Predators was better than The Predator but not as good as Predator.
Don't think you're gonna get any arguments there
Agreed..
AVP Requiem was better than The Predator
@@neonsmoviereviews7969 AND I COULDNT SEE SHIT IN THAT FILM! hahaha
@@dakotajensen181 had they used the same lighting in The Predator I probably would have liked it more
Adrian Brody was surprisingly good in this.great movie.and im a huge predator fan.
They complaining his character wasn’t a good guy, but I liked how he was an antihero.
Brody's nose should have its own film credit.
That mini gun was awesome. But it's no Old Painless.
I AIN'T GOT TIME
TO BLEED
@@andrewwblanchard6037 I AIN'T GOT TIME TO COMMENT!!!
Royce will never be Dutch, but he’s a great character in his own right
sidenote: I saw this in the movies when it released (i was 11 so i loved it ofc), when the yakuza showdown happened and he fell to his death, the whole theatre started clapping. That was the first time i ever witnessed something like that, and its kinda proof that that scene was probably the best callback to the original film, and maybe the only scene in Predators that was actually better than the original as they actually showed the fight and the character was cool as ice.
Danny glover was great in predator 2
hhhmmm did not have much elegance in his movt's. Watch movie again he looks so stiff lol
The prisoner guy gets back up from the Plasma Caster shot because he is wearing the body armour he found on the broken-down ship. 21:03 and 22:44. If you also notice, the Falconer Predator is the only one who didn't use an unfair advantage (Plasma Caster) when fighting Hanzo. Falconer, like the original Predator versus Arnold, only used hand to hand combat. I felt like he was the only one of the clan who had any honour.
To answer your question...
She(Isabelle)got the information of Arnold's defeat of the first predator from the female(Anna) that survived.
And the plasma cannon didnt kill the convict because he had put fishburnes armor on when they were in the excavator. Laurence exploded because he did not put any armor on because he pretended to sleep and had to quietly slip out to start the fire.
And yakuza guy would probably have won that sword fight....had he had his pinkies. They control the sword, that's why they get cut off first. So the person who made the mistake and had to sacrifice his finger could never be a great samurai swordsman.
Its like they didn't even watch the movie. More or so the guy on the right
Damn I didn't know that about the Yakuza. And I forgot about the armor. Good stuff bro
That was impressive! Great observational skills.
Such an underrated predator movie, Adrian Brady is great in this!
I went with 2 of my friends the day it came out. Everyone in the audience koved it! Why os there no sequel?!!!
Brody! Have some respect.
@JD Gust of Wind Dance What about "the pianist"? That´s one movie I always remember as the first one that brought this actor to my mind.
You must be joking. He's so bad in this it ruined his career. That's a bad performance.
This was better than the one that just came out.
They didn't IGNORE Predator 2. It would have been implausible for her to know about BOTH situations and the first movie is the iconic one.
The alternative was to have two people aware of the Predators.
That's just stupid.
I love you guys. 'there's too many references' 'I just want more references to alien' hhahahahaha
The blowing up thing harkens back to the original predator commiting suicide with a wrist nuke device. It makes sense they'd have a self destruct device in their ship in case of situations. By the way all of the USA space craft have self destructs built in and it's actually required by the FAA and NASA.
The rocket boosters have self-destructs, not the space-crafts. And it is to keep them from coming down on population if they go off course.
I saw this for the first time about a year or so after this came out with my dad, who bought it on dvd. I was probably like 10-11 and the scene when the predators use Danny Trejos body to try and trick them scared the absolute piss out of me. After she shoots him and you hear “help me” again was terrifying as a kid. This movie might not be perfect but I’ll never forget it for scaring me as a kid.
The first half is amazing. After that it becomes more predictable but I personally really liked Laurance Fishbourne character, his motivation though was weak.
The Russian played by Oleg Taktarov is in a lot of movies and I don't think many people know he is a former UFC fighter in the days of no gloves or weight classes, a real badass.
Shame this never had a sequel since the end set up a planet hopping space epic. I imagine it would've been similar to "Pitch Black" and then its sequel "Chronicles of Riddick". Always liked Predators and appreciated its return to a minimalist approach.
This would’ve made a better AVP movie, but I like it regardless
I really enjoyed it.. But the twist of the "doctor" was really stupid and felt really forced!!
I still want to know how he can identify Alien plant life. Like wtf?
@@benderbendingrodriguez420 Yeah I definitely can't defend that either lol
Yep
Well the whole cast of characters is forced, but that's the point
@@adamduffield7782 I understand but his characterization is really bad..
This was the first predator movie that I watched when I was a kid in theaters
The actress name is pronounce Bra-gah. She's Sonia Braga's daughter, the villainess in "The Rookie" with Eastwood and Charlie Sheen.
Thanks for reload guys 👊👊
The reason she knows the events of the 1st film, is because Intel on that mission was internally leaked in the US military , and the old gossip started amongst the military personnel . Became a urban legend amongst U.S. marines.
This is exactly the kind of thing our military would quietly share with other countries, such as Israel.
@@jenniferbrewer5370 yes they would. Unless the US thought telling Isreal would breach national security. But intel on a bunch of hired mercenaries being taken out by a alien? Not really breach of national security.
Far better then shane blacks "The Child Predator"!!
Lawrence Fishbourne wasn't packing plot armor
Military ghost stories, like her hearing stories about Arnold’s team, do exist. When your in you hear some weird mission stories that get passed around.
Shit, I didn’t even think about Lawrence Fishburne being a cannibal.
Hey brothers, it's your fan from Spanish Harlem, NYC. You hit it right on the head with it being a rehash of the original.
I felt the same way about being excited knowing that Robert Rodriguez was the director.
One of the bad things about watching movies for so long is that nothing surprises you anymore because you've seen it all.
The Fishburne character was horrible and hilarious. The Yakuza scene was and is a classic part. Y'all brothers keep doing your thing. Thanks.
You guys are too harsh on this movie. This was a great installment
Adrian Brody wasn't the best choice and the twist towards the end was stupid but a worthy Predator movie.
This should have been given a sequel. The Predator sucked ass.
Your videos have good rewatch value. Always fun!
Maybe i was the only person who thought Adrien Brody was the perfect cast for this. He was put there to show the modern day mercenaries aren't buff action heroes. I thought he was great in this!
I know alot of ex service personnel and yeah most are not buff body builders . Whilst the 1st predator is a great film and Arnie is good. It would be a total rehash of the 1st movie if they got someone like Dwayne Johnson to play the lead.
This film is good because whilst it has similar beats to the 1st film, it still has enough differences to not be just a rehash.
@@adamduffield7782 I agree completely!
Isabelle was in the idf and may have known dutch or received info from the sof community. No info may have been shared by lapd about predators. This movie may be a lead in to a continuing series as there is an open ending with two surviving characters.
there was a tie in comic made that fills in that
The LAPD reports probably didn't mention giant aliens, but remember there was also a military team led by Gary Busey, and one of them was still alive at the end, trying to get more info from Danny Glover's character.
Watching this flick 11 years later . . . wow, it really set the precedent for what all the legacy sequels we got over the decade since it’s release. Endless callbacks, rehashing with slight twisty riffs on stuff we’ve seen before, and the absolute refusal to give us new memories with our favourite series’s from our youth. Granted, it’s no disaster - The Predator would see to that - but I could never get on board with Predators. Sucks for me I guess
The part where hes firing the mini-gun i swear i heard "Stars" 🤔😂
The russian killing the Predator was badass as fuck. The way he unpins the grenades was real smooth.
Anyway *Turn Up*
Oh heck yeah! I have been waiting for over a year to see this review!
when you kill
DANNY TREJO
It's personal
8:24 "How...the...fuck?!" LOL
The Morpheus character lol
Predators was a decent entry and a breath of fresh air in the series. What I like the most was the idea of a “game reserve” where the Predators bring their new prey to from different corners of space.
If someone ever does a sequel it would have been interesting if we followed a captured Predator like we see in the movie as it is being hunted. Nothing wrong with the humans in this flick but more Predator action is what we’re paying for.
41:13 Easy. An enterprising alien. If you're going to believe it's a hunting preserve, believe that too.
By the way just a quick thought on Lord and Fishburne but he did not look anything like a man who had been trapped for the last decade or so on this planet he was quite healthy weight wise if you will. I would expect to find somebody like that more in the condition of Tom Hanks character towards the latter half of whatever that movie was called where he got marooned on the island or whatever rather than somebody with a dad bod
I loved this particular film and would have loved to see this story continued. Oh well...i guess
I enjoyed it. It definitely deserves a better reputation than it actually has. AVP 1 is also a guilty pleasure of mine. I particularly loved that briefe flashback scene in AVP where the Predators are surrounded by millions of aliens on a step pyramid and finally set off their fu*k you too nuke. AVP 2 is.... a movie.
I love how nonchalantl the predator is when he sees his ship flying away like "ahhh fuck it, I'll get another one"
BOOM! hahaha
😂
Fkin ey! Here we go...always post as I'm about to sleep...I gotta sort this sleep pattern out its 11am...Anyway loved the other reviews, could never find this one, thanks for the re upload guys, this should be a good one. 👌
Also damn, now I wanna see what they think of the predator 2018
You don't like the Royce character because he's not a hero but then you don't like it when he does start acting like a hero. You two aren't going to like this movie no matter what, eh?
Do you think a female Predators lady parts have mandibles?
Technically no, but yes
Great review again guys 👍👍
This is an enjoyable movie, but the flaw is that it leaned too much into nostalgia, rather than standing on it's own as a new addition to the series and lore.
Thank you guys!
I always suspects that Isabel was Ana’s daughter (the village girl from the first movie).
A bit over simplistic. Ignores the fact that Isabel is in the Israeli military. Israel gets a lot of classified info from the US, so maybe she heard the story that way.
Very fair review, thanks, you guys are great
Thanks guys!!
Good reviews. Can you do Ghoulies next? Video shop classic
Finally. Someone else knows what goulies is
This movie would have been much better if the "Super" Predator didn't exist and looked just like the ones on Predator and Predator 2. And if the "Doc" character was not a part of the movie. The unlikely addition to the team is already the convict. Not a horrible movie, but a missed opportunity.
AvP 2004
was AWESOME
Would've been better rated R.
@@UnCreativeDeconstructionism
yes
This movie was awesome
I was thinking Isobella , was supposed to be the daughter of the chick(Anna) from Predator , which would explain why she knew so much about the first movie incident.
Why Fishburne doesn't poison them with the food , rather than building a smoky fire in his hiding spot/camp giving away his position to the predators, I'll never know.
I rate this movie as the 2nd best Predator movie , even though it does have some kinda dumb things in it. Like above and them not noticing extra planets/moons/ the weird sky , immediately after landing , or even while parachuting in.
Would be unlikely cause Isabella is an IDF special forces soldier, unless Ana migrated to Isreal and raised her family there
Never saw it as a bad movie. Honestly when I saw it didn't even know there was a new Predator movie, then late night on a paid movie channel when I couldn't sleep, boom this satisfied me. Yes it was almost the same as the first but the twist of being on a plant for hunting game, definitely had me.
WOOOO! One more awesome review lives again! Take THAT youtube bots!
Great job boys. Keep fighting the good fight. We love ya for it.
Cheers for the reuploads today, can use the laugh for sure!
Really like this movie. C'mon, guys, they were observing these bad asses before kidnapping them. Picking them especially. So why wouldn't they pick a Yakuza guy who can use a sword? And the 'raping fine bitches' scene was again to misdirect the audience about the doctor Edwin's nature
Should have had harrigan reprise his role on the planet
Will you guys please review once upon a time in mexico
She just knows cause she knows she said she's been to every jungle on earth she has obliviously been around for a long time and knows a lot maybe has some friends in high places
Honestly I too thought the Russian guy should've been the surviver
Russian guy is Oleg tektaurov... Former ufc fighter
Why would you make a movie that keeps reminding you of the original at every possible moment. This movie has no identity and is clearly my least favorite of the franchise. The Predator camp reminds me of “Sanford and Son’s” junkyard. Seriously what are we looking at it is so untidy!! Great review as always guys!!
For as long as i have youtube i'll be subscribed to you guys.
Two things ruin this film for me. (1) The "Bad Blood" vs "Normal" subspecies - silly and unnecessary, and (2) the selection of prey. I understand the military people, I even understand the Mexican gangster (because they are actually fighting the Mexican army in Tijuana), but the yakuza and the psycho doctor? What counts as horrific violence in Japan isn't comparable to American crime, let alone a military-level conflict. Hell, the yakuza have offices with signs over the door; they hold press conferences to announce the end of a gang war. Why would the yakuza guy make it onto the predators' radar? The psycho doctor is even worse. His deadliness is dependent on blending into and navigating human society. Dropping him on a jungle planet in the company of people he doesn't know seems to me to be the sort of prey one catches and releases. He might have been a good choice if the predators were doing something similar to what was happening in "Cube," but it makes no sense whatsoever in the context of this movie.
I think it’s pretty good but not perfect. I like the setup, this seems like something predators would do. Movie looks good acting is good, don’t mind the casting. Liked the conflict between the predators.
But yeah I agree totally with Royce “having the script in his back pocket”. Also the doctor twist was really stupid and felt so unnecessary.
Isabelle surely grew up in Central or South America, remember Anna in Predator said that when she was a child people in her village found skinned bodies, it was an urban legend for a long time. Now the events of Predator, with US soldiers killed, and a giant explosion, that story would've spread. Now Isabelle becomes a soldier and does missions in various countries for powerful people, so she inquires about that thing that happened in 87 when she was a child. It's not far fetched that someone who knew would've told her, she's the right age, born in the right place and in the right business to find out. Much like UFO and Bigfoot sightings, these things get around and someone somewhere has detailed files that get leaked.
However this doesn't have to apply to what happened in LA, it was a 10 year gap, different country and a police conflict that had the benefit of a media spin to muddy the story.
You actually quite right, though the reason LA indicent wasn't mentioned because unfairly decanonized Preadator 2. Even cast and crew kept referring to how first one they used as inspiration want to replicate it, heck Arnold one time called Preadator 2 shit.
That's why Preadator 2 was never mentioned.
Wasn't originally impressed with Predators? Watch The Predator and this will be Oscar worthy in your eyes aftwards. 😂🤢
Does anyone know what the Russian guy says before he blows up? I really hope it's "From Russia with love" or something cheesy like that
Underrated movie
When the girl in Predators talks about Predator 1986 and only 1 got out what about the girl with Arnie she survied or did she
Wasn't the Falconer Predator supposed to be female?
So many missed opportunities every time I watch this movie
I think this film could have been great had the humans lost.
OH! sorry I also meant to mention to You Guys in My first comment/message that even with Danny Glover doing a good job in Predator 2. I really! believe that they could have found in every single film since on The Predators & Aliens. That they could have not only found much better leading male actors. However! also over all best cast members over all. Lets face it today this day in age there is many very tall & over all big men male actors whom would have been great for the many roles. Not to mention Men & Woman alike. Along with young men & woman whom would have been fantastic! In all the different roles in each & every single film.
I did enjoy this movie even though it takes too much from the original and I didn’t really like Royce.
Yeah before My girlfriend & I watched this for the first time We were both like Adrian Brody as the leading Man Dude in a Predator movie? However He did fine and He grew on us. That being said I agree with You two that this was like a remake of the first film. Just on another planet more or less. Also I myself have been a major! fan of the Predator monsters/Creatures along with Alien ever since the very first films. And yes a collector over all the years as well. This movie was okay? Just okay that is. Very much so average. And what the Hell! were they thinking with the newest film? ( The Predator? ) I So! also agree with You both that ever since the second original Predator ll. film staring Danny Glover. All! of them thus far including all the AVPs all could have and should have been so so much more & better. Aside from the Face Huggers & The Queen aliens designs. My very favorite Alien design over all by Artist H. R. Giger ( R.I.P.). The head of the first alien is still so so Very! Cool! in My book. Lastly guys another great job on another film review and I know that I've been and am thus far i sound like so to speak a broken record. However that being said Please! Guys in the name of All! great Horror/Scfi/Romance/Action/comedy/ and i could go on some more on this one film everything categories that this film envelopes its The 1986 Film ( remake ) The fly. And it staring one of My favorite Actors. You've got it The Great! Jeff Goldblum and his X. wife Geena Davis. I wonder if they stayed friends after the divorce and have kept in touch over all the years ever since? OFF topic that question/thoughts were sorry. Any how by now Guys I hope You both know that I'm once again! going to ask the both of You To Please! Do movie reviews on either all! of every The Fly films all in one long video review or at least two long video reviews? First on all the old old films. And maybe a second one on Yes You've guest it 1986 The Fly Along with The Fly ll. A.K.A. The son of the fly if You will? Also Guys I do have a good number of other films that i've thought of over time that I would love to see You Guys do reviews on also as well. And yes every single one i've made sure You have not already done thus far. Yes! including the two newest The Fly films. Thank! You! Very Much for your time and in advance Thank! You! should you do the fly films in the future? Peace!
I really dont understand the guy on the right's cynicism towards the movie. Predators was badass and was one of the best action movies in that year (08-2011 was a rough time for action movies lol). Most of the characters here were pretty good and I like how they stuck to the roots of the Predator by having them respect 1v1 battle and they expanded on their toolset and arsenal but not to the point where its too much. honestly it would have been cool to have a comic or something that was a prequel to how they set the game planet up etc. movie had its flaws but it was definitley better than it had any business being and the doctor twist and even the lawrence fishbourne character twist were good aswell.
There are comics… I don’t remember if their names are Royce and Isabella in the comics but they do have comics Royce ends up earning predators armor and respect and goes a bit bonkers and Isabella makes it back to earth
2nd best in the franchise...
Ranking of predator films.

These 2 seem to not realize that a lot of the younger audience won't have watched the original predator movies!
That’s a bad parenting issue.
Machetè? The way u pronounce it sounds like you’ve been eating too much cheddar cheese lol
Love ya work though✌️
It's 5 o'clock lol
nice
I enjoyed this movie
Too many information dumps, too much homage to the original. I was 17 when I saw the original, and would probably have enjoyed this much more If I was 17 now. I liked the bird predator drone scene which was in the book.
I thought this movie was a pass, for sure. I went in not expecting too much, and I wasn't dissapionted. After all, it is fantasy. Iain, I thought you may have gone in with a cynical mind.
No no no, you do not get to defend the thing prequel and shit on predators for being a rehash.
There were three survivors at the end of the original predator. Did the lazy sexy girl and the script writers do there research properly apparently not. Sheesh I forgive cats and dogs 2 continuity issue found them tolerable.
I will say I love this movie a lot more then the second one
