What makes this this scene so compelling to me is how Arnold is usually what comes to mind when thinking of somebody who is the peak of human strength but even then he is no physical match for the predator. And so it makes the scene more thrilling when Arnold has to rely on his mind and tactics to win
Arnie is a fab actor, and humble, notice that he usually plays a character that gets his ass kicked at one point or another, he may not have won any oscars for acting, but his fear of the Predator and the agony of getting beaten to a pulp is Very Convincing in this scene, that for someone who has never went to drama school or any shit like that, he is a natural born actor, and a lot of people don’t acknowledge this
Yep. That's the point. It's like getting into a fight with a gorila. You are outmatched from the beginning simply because he has pretty much more force than you. It's like feeling the sheer pressure from 100 kg dumbbell into your chest, comparable to 10 kg, or like getting trapped into a factory machine, a collapsing building or being runned down by a truck. Probably many victims of lions, crocs, bears etc felt that. The impotence facing something that is many times what your body can handle. That's fear.
Don't think so. With this laugh he warned Dutch. Remember : Yautja have a code of honor and don't leave traces of their haunt: technology and bodies of warriors
Even though the sequels and lore weren't there yet, there's a reason the Predator blew itself up. In Yautja culture, it is considered extreme dishonor to return injured and beaten from their prey. The Predator would rather die than go home in shame. Also, it is extremely rare a predator ever spares their prey, so it probably took Dutch's mercy as an insult rather than compassion. He probably interpreted it as Dutch saying "You aren't worth killing" which is an even BIGGER middle finger to the Predator
It isn't a dishonour to return injured from a hunt. In lore, scars on a Yautja are a sign of respect and attraction. Wolf's face had acid burns, Ahab from the comics was missing an eye and mandible, Feral lost an arm and Scar still wanted to live despite being infected. It's more Jungle Hunter knew he was dying and like you also said, being spared is an insult. Plus his technology can't fall into human hands. They have spared their prey when the prey becomes a none threat. Look at Feral with Naru, his mind changed when she was caught in a bear trap. Basically, Jungle Hunter knew he had been beat and was mortally injured and he decided to go out on his own terms with no trace left behind rather than be spared.
it was clearly dying already. that's why dutch stopped. and probably it just was destroying itself to remove any technology from falling into the hands of its prey.
Honestly I always felt like the predator was just a sore loser, kind of like a “you may have won, but I still win” that’s why he laughs, I know that all the yautja lore came later, explaining their whole civilization, but my interpretation originally was that the predator is just kind of a dick
In the second movie the city hunter tried to activate his wrist computers nuke too it’s just his wrist gets cut by his own smart disk cutting the computer in half, plus the jungle hunter didn’t really kill himself because he was spared he had a piece of wood that probably weighed more than 400-600 pounds land right on his head and then crush his body he probably had major brain damage along with a few broken bones in his body too,he wasn’t getting up any time soon and in their culture it is dishonorable to leave a hunt half finished because they don’t want to leave witnesses but the biggest thing to them is they can never leave behind their gear and if they do it is an ultimate shame to their species and the clan they come from so the jungle hunter had to kill himself to one hold on to his honor and two to not risk humanity gaining weapons that would be to dangerous in humanity’s hands cause even though when they go on these hunts they take only a small amount of gear imagine how screwed a predator would be if say a human had a plasma caster without their Yautja honor codes dictating how and when they can use these weapons the fights would be extremely unfair in the sense humans would play super dirty
In 1987 you really had to be creative with movies instead of fluffing the movie with CGI to make up for the lack of script writing like you see these days.
This predator had the most attitude of all of them . Trolling arnold til last last second . “WhAt THe HeLl ArE YoU“ and then laughing while he blows himself up lol
@@LuisFernandoTorrico-b5d im not sure… theory has it that the alien used it to show that it would not be discovered or embarrassed by a human… also they did not want there technology to be discovered.
This was way before Predator lore was flesh out. Originally, the Predator feels more slasher horror Sci Fi ish. Kind of like Michael Mirror or Jason Vorhee with a mix of action. But then time when by and it became to much action ish losing the thriller, suspense and horror part of its identity. This Predatoe was definitely more sinister.
@@LuisFernandoTorrico-b5d In the predator clan. Like japanese, if you did not kill your pray it is considered dishonorable and predators would rather commit suicide rather them going back home beaten with dishonor
To be fair, if we heard that laugh come out of a predator in a reboot/sequel today, we’d all mock it as ridiculous and say it “took us out of the movie” and “What the hell was the director thinking?” yadayada.
It’s part of their honor code. If they deem the prey worthy of a fair fight, the predator must remove his plasma caster to fight the prey on equal ground.
That's part of what makes the Predator so awesome. Show me the human that will use weapons to widdle down a pack of lions down to just the pride's leader then shed all his weapons to take on the lion mono y mono (1 to 1).
@@Gmk4667 I interpreted it differently. I had thought that a Predatory starts itself with clear advantages and gradually strips itself down so that each kill is just as satisfying and earned as the previous one. Each trophy is as valuable as the story behind it. Imagine two men sitting in a room with one bragging about lion fur he got from shooting a lion with a rifle while the other laughs and says he has the same thing, but he choked the lion with his bare hands as a lioness looked on in horror. Predator's want to be the one who earn the trophy with their bare fist.

Predator was destroying himself not only as a last attempt to kill his prey but also to blow up their technology so that the humans cant salvage their stuff
@DrHydra47 wrong, it didn't try to kill dutch there. I read somewhere that the predator was in fact relaying to dutch to run away. It cannot speak normally so it used the laugh to let him know to run.
It's hard to emphasize how jarring and scary it was to see mighty Arnold getting his ass handed to him when Predator first came out. Years earlier he played a scary killer cyborg who was annihilating humans left and right, and here he is getting manhandled by a much more massive monster(both created by Stan Winston, no less)
@@MedalionDS9 I mean if the blast range is like 100 m and has such an obvious warning system then it would be stupid to be so confident especially once Arnie has gotten pretty damn far.

What really gets me about this part is that the alien never needed it’s weapons and technology. It’s bigger and stronger than most humans, even Schartzenegger in his prime. Truly terrifying.
Elephants are bigger and stronger than these things yet we conquered elephants. Mammoths we hunted them to extinction. There's a good reason why these aliens use their technology
It's the greatest action film in the last 35 years for so many reasons, Originality and franchise starter....this IS the OG predator design and looks far more terrifying with the practical effects, The music is so good The actors were all perfectly cast. They build that suspense and paranoia so smoothly from beginning to end... They are real tough men that are terrified, and that is believable acting and or storyline... This is the testosterone that is so lacking today to truly survive a primal situation.... Cheers!
Um let’s relax. We owe the greatness of this movie to many of the same people who brought us James Cameron’s, Aliens. From production design to make up effects by some of the greats, who created Aliens.
The predator, looking at Dutch, tells him with an inner voice: "Let me look at you, you're the best of your kind." You've been bothering me so much, let me play with you before I deal with you once and for all, human being.
It's a reference from terminator 1. In the end of tge movie, Reese hit Terminator in the face with iron bar and Terminator reacted in the same way. Im sure director did that on purpose.
@@Sybrakos1 The Terminator did so humorlessly, and wasn't intending to play with Reese. It just so happened he didn't kill him with the slap. The Predator is completely toying with Dutch.

When i was a kid, i used to be really scared of PREDATOR n thought what if he comes in this planet in reality. So many would be dead and Arnold is the one who can save us from him. haha ANYWAYS still one of my top 3 favourite film of ARNOLD.
When the Predator hesitates before he throws away his plasma cannon at 0:12, he’s not doing it to get rid of a damaged piece of equipment. He’s doing it out of respect for his prey - the apex predator he’s been hunting…
1:14 I love just how *offended* the Predator looks right here after Dutch punched him in the face. And then he immediately follows up by punching Dutch right back in his face 😂
@@Abcq755 It's almost if the Predator was giving Dutch one final test of worthiness and laughing in satisfaction when Dutch "Got it" and took off. Its like the Predator was saying "Clever bastard got me" in his own way.
Self destruction is the last, and honorable resort for predators to die. If he didn’t destroy himself, he would’ve been considered a bad blood or dishonorable for letting Dutch have his technology.
How amazing and extraordinary this film is, because it is several decades ahead of the year 80. Even now, if you look at it, how was it possible in the year 80 to make a film as good as this?
That was more than a flight between man and extraterrestrial. It was a battle of wits and pure survival. Though Dutch has stood victorious, surviving just by a tiny thread left his life forever altered. That's one hell of a bad day...
5:18 to 5:38 The Predator's ghoulish laugh was the pinnacle of psychological horror in this film. This final act of terror by the Yautja was a way of saying "You killed me, but I'm taking you with me." Of course, it is a Predator tactic to try to kill those who killed them in order to preserve their honor as hunters and warriors, but the Yautja's ghoulish laugh in the first film only shows that he is prone to cruelty towards his prey. Psychological horror was the tool that made The Predator (1987) a film above its sequels.
This movie is as old as me. I so wish I coulda seen this in theaters at the right age. If an 8 minute youtube clip I've seen a hundred times can get me buzzing, imagine what a proper cinema can do.
I watched this often when I was a kid. I'm 35 now and the scene where predator takes his mask off and then puts his arms out like "bring it on" is still intimidating as ever. Predator is absolutely perfect even to this day
The sequence from 1:20 to 2:00 where Dutch just tries to survive the beating is just AMAZING in every aspect. The different views, the angles, the music, the incredible sound through Predator's ears (as Dutch sounds like a boy - 1:42). What a F#$ING movie!!!!!!
You know what makes a decent film,,,,,,,,, authenticity........ If the story is plausible. This was..... and acted very decent!! WELL DONE LADS, WELL DONE
The part where The Predator chokes Arnold and is examining him is such a cool detail that’s missing from the new movies. It’s like the Predator is thinking, “I’ve come here for many generations and made man my prey. They are soft and weak and make for good sport. But this one is different somehow. He’s not only outsmarted me using no more than mud and sticks, but has also injured me. This man is not prey. He’s a warrior. And I shall grant him a warrior’s death.” Freaking dope.
I love how Arnie was perfectly willing to have his characters get their asses kicked, even at the height of his popularity. It happened in Terminator 2 as well, where Arnie is the inferior model of terminator and gets destroyed by the T-1000. It's a far cry from guys like The Rock and Vin Diesel these days, who contractually won't allow their character to get defeated, and even limit the number of hits they can take.
After all these years I've realized anything electrical is due to Fail But not A Thinking Mind When the Predator wrist Band short circuited He didn't have a choice but to Fight Man to Man But Dutch used the Trees as the Predator did to drop a Killing Shot!!!
After nearly 20 years since my first viewing I finally realize the log was a counterweight for a snare. Like Dutch was initially trying to snare the Predator and when the Predator saw through that and went around, Dutch fell back on the counterweight itself. I knew the Predator knew something was fishy, but I just never knew that there was a snare trap there.
Nunca esquecir esse filme! Quando assistir pela primeira vez, me dava um frio na barriga, aquela parte que o predador matava as pessoas, esfolava e pendurava em uma árvore eu fiquei tensa, realmente nunca vai existir um filme de predador melhor que esse!
I’ve seen the alien films and the predator films. The AvP films. The predator taking off his mask and squaring up with Arnold is the scariest moment of any of the films for me. Scarier than anything the xenemorphs did. Seeing him in his combat ready stance, slowly approaching and dwarfing strong man Arnold still gives me thrills to this day.
@@valdie91285 I have but that doesn't matter. it is intentionally structured like the first part of Beowulf according to the director and writer. Obviously it's not a beat for beat remake.

When i was a kid, i used to be really scared of PREDATOR n thought what if he comes in this planet in reality. So many would be dead and Arnold is the one who can save us from him. haha ANYWAYS still one of my top 3 favourite film of ARNOLD.
This film caused me a great damage a great phobia that threatens me and make me disturbed person in sleeping, till now i m 35 and still cant watch it
Predator was my favourite villian and I enjoyed to play all avp game as Pred, it was amazing childhood
@@aminederbali1081 Predator is coming only for worth prey such as soldiers special forces and etc, so you should not have worried :D
Are you serious? What happened?
This concept is based on real entities. IE, reptilian draco.
Most iconic evil laugh in movie history, Predator and Predator 2 did not need any sequels
One of the most iconic
@@KingCeeewrong
When the Predator hesitates before he throws away his plasma cannon at 0:12, he’s not doing it to get rid of a damaged piece of equipment. He’s doing it out of respect for his prey - the apex predator he’s been hunting…
The greatest movie villain laugh of all-time. So badass
The Sound of the First Blow at 1:00 After Dutch says: "Bad idea" Makes Me Laugh 😂😂
Kevin Peter Hall was the best thing about this film! R.I.P Kevin!
this movie will be a timeless classic
world in 2000 years will watch this masterpiece with the same thrill as we watched back in the 80`s and 90`s
Even 3000 from now...best movie..90s forever...
1:14 I love just how *offended* the Predator looks right here after Dutch punched him in the face. And then he immediately follows up by punching Dutch right back in his face 😂
This movie is a masterpiece 10/10❤️💯
Love the bit when Predator senses the trap.
Yeah, the Yautja aren't dumb 😂🔥
Set a booby trap for predator
That glare he gives Dutch.
"You thought THAT was gonna work?!?"
They just don't make movies like this anymore. Running Man, Commando & Conan & Red Sonja. It really was a golden age of story telling.
That predator tried to kill Dutch after he lost, pretty dishonourable to me.
@@Abcq755
It's almost if the Predator was giving Dutch one final test of worthiness and laughing in satisfaction when Dutch "Got it" and took off.
Its like the Predator was saying "Clever bastard got me" in his own way.
Couldn't let his technology fall into human hands
Self destruction is the last, and honorable resort for predators to die. If he didn’t destroy himself, he would’ve been considered a bad blood or dishonorable for letting Dutch have his technology.
How amazing and extraordinary this film is, because it is several decades ahead of the year 80. Even now, if you look at it, how was it possible in the year 80 to make a film as good as this?
That was more than a flight between man and extraterrestrial. It was a battle of wits and pure survival. Though Dutch has stood victorious, surviving just by a tiny thread left his life forever altered. That's one hell of a bad day...
The fact that he managed to run and jump around the tree with that eyesight without tripping is beyond my understanding
One of the best if not the best alien design of the pop culture. With the xenomorph of course.
Predator sounds like a super badass when it swears
Still better than most movies that came out in 2023 😂
Those slaps Dutch gets after trying to punch The Predator are hilarious 😅
🤣🤣😂🤣🤣 yes they are
Finally someone said it😂😂
@@noelogbeide7135 Especially Dutch's obvious discomfort on his face as each slap connects 😂😂😂
@@yasserkhan4279 yeah bro😂
I still can't believe the Predator was defeated by a Looney Tunes gag.
In the real life, that hurts a lot
I thought I read somewhere that this first predator was a junior warrior and not as skilled or experienced as other predators in more recent films.
@@Josh-fp2qn wow, and even though he was a junior he killed several elite soldiers kkkkk
that was not how the trap was originally supposed to work. That was the counterweight to the actual trap, which the Predator avoided.
It even inspired Kevin McCalister to protect his home from the housebreakers in Home Alone 😅😅😅
5:18 to 5:38 The Predator's ghoulish laugh was the pinnacle of psychological horror in this film. This final act of terror by the Yautja was a way of saying "You killed me, but I'm taking you with me."
Of course, it is a Predator tactic to try to kill those who killed them in order to preserve their honor as hunters and warriors, but the Yautja's ghoulish laugh in the first film only shows that he is prone to cruelty towards his prey.
Psychological horror was the tool that made The Predator (1987) a film above its sequels.
This is the greatest Human vs Alien fight in cinema history!
One of the greatest

@@ryantogo8359 Not wrong
Jungle huter predator is such a badass 🔥🔥🔥🔥 and this scene is a fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This movie is as old as me. I so wish I coulda seen this in theaters at the right age. If an 8 minute youtube clip I've seen a hundred times can get me buzzing, imagine what a proper cinema can do.
I watched this often when I was a kid. I'm 35 now and the scene where predator takes his mask off and then puts his arms out like "bring it on" is still intimidating as ever. Predator is absolutely perfect even to this day
Show me CGI as good or believable as the practical creature effects here. 0:32 That face alone trumps anything today by a mile.
That is a lot better than CGI today for sure

They simply do not make movies like this anymore! The best!
0:25 i love the deep humming sound when the Jungle Hunter's true vision comes in after he removed his bio helmet
That Dutch was one tough guy. I love this movie. One of the greatest of all times.
That laugh.....!
Just incredible timeless classic
The sequence from 1:20 to 2:00 where Dutch just tries to survive the beating is just AMAZING in every aspect. The different views, the angles, the music, the incredible sound through Predator's ears (as Dutch sounds like a boy - 1:42). What a F#$ING movie!!!!!!
You know what makes a decent film,,,,,,,,, authenticity........ If the story is plausible. This was..... and acted very decent!! WELL DONE LADS, WELL DONE
When Predator jogs up the small hill & just casually walks toward Dutch while he crawls away.🔥🔥🔥
I saw this in the drive-ins in 1987 double feature with Robo-Cop.
Best money ever spent
That's a great double feature.
Sound awesome af
U did Not....
BS!
Must have been a hell of a night
The score is so damn good.
“What the hell are you” says the predator to Dutch, wondering how it’s possible he defeated him.
I wish today's movies would use prosthetics and practical effects instead CGI. This looks far better and more realistic than any movie these days.
The predator suit was so great
Idk if yall realize but when the predator laughs it’s actually Billy’s laugh. He mimicked Billy’s that’s terrifying.
Arnold: "What are you?"
Predator: "Jean Claude Van Dam!"
JCVD was originally the Predator, but he left early on and his footage wasn’t used. It was Kevin Peter Hall who played the Predator.
Hands down, the best, most realistical, well done iteration of the Predator, to date!
The part where The Predator chokes Arnold and is examining him is such a cool detail that’s missing from the new movies. It’s like the Predator is thinking, “I’ve come here for many generations and made man my prey. They are soft and weak and make for good sport. But this one is different somehow. He’s not only outsmarted me using no more than mud and sticks, but has also injured me. This man is not prey. He’s a warrior. And I shall grant him a warrior’s death.” Freaking dope.
this was arnold’s first role were he was not the alpha, and that’s another reason why this film was so good
3:16 "Do you think I'm stupid?"
1987 and there still hasn't been a better looking Predator. RIP Stan Winston and Kevin Peter Hall
Terminator vs predator
I was 6 years old when I saw this movie for the first time and it was at the house of my fathers cousin. I was marked for life.
I love how Arnie was perfectly willing to have his characters get their asses kicked, even at the height of his popularity. It happened in Terminator 2 as well, where Arnie is the inferior model of terminator and gets destroyed by the T-1000.
It's a far cry from guys like The Rock and Vin Diesel these days, who contractually won't allow their character to get defeated, and even limit the number of hits they can take.
After all these years I've realized anything electrical is due to Fail
But not A Thinking Mind
When the Predator wrist Band short circuited He didn't have a choice but to Fight Man to Man
But Dutch used the Trees as the Predator did to drop a Killing Shot!!!
After nearly 20 years since my first viewing I finally realize the log was a counterweight for a snare. Like Dutch was initially trying to snare the Predator and when the Predator saw through that and went around, Dutch fell back on the counterweight itself.
I knew the Predator knew something was fishy, but I just never knew that there was a snare trap there.
😂 I have seen this movie over 100 times and this was the first time I realized that too.
When Arny got engaged he realised that he is not a Terminator anymore. No invincibility imagine that while fighting Predator and Alien.
I like how the predator was like wait a second 😄
Nunca esquecir esse filme! Quando assistir pela primeira vez, me dava um frio na barriga, aquela parte que o predador matava as pessoas, esfolava e pendurava em uma árvore eu fiquei tensa, realmente nunca vai existir um filme de predador melhor que esse!
I’ve seen the alien films and the predator films. The AvP films. The predator taking off his mask and squaring up with Arnold is the scariest moment of any of the films for me. Scarier than anything the xenemorphs did. Seeing him in his combat ready stance, slowly approaching and dwarfing strong man Arnold still gives me thrills to this day.
Favorite Schwarzenegger film. Even more than T2.
His best movies are Terminator,T2,Conan the Barbarian, and Predator.
1:49 that gut punch tho…
The practical effects in this movie were insane. That thing looked REAL.
Childhood memories 💜

Remember that, folks.
Predator is a modern retelling of Beowulf.
.....I don't think you read Beowulf....
@@valdie91285 I have but that doesn't matter. it is intentionally structured like the first part of Beowulf according to the director and writer. Obviously it's not a beat for beat remake.
Laughter is a Universal language
I remember 5 years old me watching this with my dad was literally the best.
I LOVE PARADTOR
