21:06 "Billy has a death wish." No, no. It's just that Billy has recognized that their circumstances are hopeless, they're _all_ as good as dead, and he has resolved to die on his own _terms._ He makes it a point to slash his body to deny the alien the honor of drawing first blood.
@@stigkenobi7525 "Wrong. He is facing his own fears." 🤔 Mmm... yes. By facing the Predator, like I said. "He was afraid of the Predator from the get go." 🤔 And I didn't say anything that ran _contrary_ to that. What part did I get wrong?
A bunch of military veterans did a test on the mud thing. They covered a guy in mud and had him hide in the woods and get in a bunch of branches. Then the guys who have experience shooting with night/thermal vision, tried to find the guy with their scopes. They could not find him. So it can work for a while at least. Great reaction as usual!!!
Kevin Peter Hall played the preditor. But he was also the helicopter pilot at the end of the film. They wanted the audience to know him. Great reaction Aria. As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
The Predator is basically what we would consider a thrill-seeking big game hunter here on earth. On whatever planet the Predator is from (they flesh out the species a little more in the underrated sequel), he's probably a rich elite who wants to decorate his mansion with the skins and skulls of the most dangerous game. From the Predator's perspective, the most dangerous game is unfortunately humans. He took Billy's skull as a trophy because Billy tried to 1v1 him with only a machete once he realized that the Predator was just in this for the sport, and the Predator saw Billy as a worthy adversary. When the Predator sees that Dutch (Arnold) actually became a challenge for him, he decided to try and 1v1 Arnold w/o weapons because of pride. You probably didn't need all of that information, but I just love how much they revealed about the creature and its motivations without force-feeding it to the audience through clunky dialogue or exposition. Hell, I think the director didn't even want the opening shot with the space ship in the film because he wanted the audience to be as confused as the troops were in the beginning, learning throughout the movie that they were being attacked by an ET, but the producers insisted on the space shot because they doubted the intelligence of the audience.
The Predator being a rich elite implies there’s a whole class of Predators who are just 9 to 5 working class schlubs stuck in the daily grind of boring office jobs. I find that a hilarious image: Office Space, but with Predators.
@@BoboftheOldeWays Tbf, from what I remember of the Robert Rodriguez film "Predators" (which I don't consider a spectacular film, I also think it's underrated), there is a lower class of "yautja" featured that is subservient to the type of predator from this movie and is much more the 9-to-5 to the elite hunter that exists to hunt humans. The lore of it all kind of gets mixed up through all of the movies that they tried to get off the ground, but it all kind of makes sense when you just look at the first movie and try to determine the motives of the original Predator.
@@BoboftheOldeWays "Predator schlubs..." lol! good one! Why not, though? If you have high tech, someone had to build the tech and it was probably the SMARTER aliens, which implies that if there is smarter, than there might be stronger, and bigger, and more successful, and RICHER. Why not? There are bigger bears and prettier peacocks and faster cheetahs, so why not more of ANYTHING (strength, smarts, or MONEY). Thanks to you, I like to think of schubby predator having trouble with the COPY MACHINE. "Load letter? what does load letter mean?"
"Get to the CHOPPA!" Every time I hear that I look around in a panic, and there is no helicopter to be seen. I mean, this is quintessential Arnold. He'll be back.
While there are multiple Predator films, this is the very, very best of the franchise. Sadly, studios try to capture lightning in a bottle when a film is successful, but they so often fall short. Like Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers is also great in comedic roles. Carl had a small cameo role on the classic American comedy show called "Arrested Development." He played a weird version of himself as a washed up actor willing to do anything for money. A very, very funny series, especially Seasons 1 through 3. 😊
Great choice, Aria. It's often called "Alien" in the jungle. Jean Claude Van Damme was actually originally cast as the Predator and the costume initially looked very different, almost like a praying mantis monster. If UA-cam let us share images in the comments, I'd show you.
Now that was a reaction right there, you killed it girl, and I loved every second of it, especially your soft spoken, comments and smooth,calm demeanor. This is my favorite movie ever, there was nothing like it back in it's day when it first dropped. Still watch it every now and then 30 yrs later. Part 2 and Prey, other Predator films are definitely worth a watch.
It's Alien on Earth, and Arnold is Ripley. For what it is, is was really well made and the Preditor itself makeup is among the best I've ever seen since Alien. It only made sense to put them both in the movie together. Fun reaction.
Today, Carl Weathers might be more recognizable to Gen-Z as Greef Karga from the Mandalorian. Gen-X and Millennials know him as Apollo Creed from the Rocky movies - definitely his most famous and recognizable role.
I'm glad they don't reveal too much about the Predator in this movie. They say less is more. The less you know about the Predator, the scarier he becomes. But it's also twofold. The less you know about the Predator, the more we want to know what makes him tick! This is the perfect formula for making a sequel! -OG
Arnold dominated the action movies of the 80s. We knew he'd win because he was always so much bigger and stronger 💪 than his opponents! But Predator was different. We actually wondered if he'd make it out alive. It certainly helps to have 7' 3" tall Kevin Peter Hall to play the Predator to intimidate Arnold with his stature! Kevin Peter Hall also played Bigfoot in Harry and the Henderson's. A fun family film. -OG
Something that took me years to notice, but we foreshadowed Mac's death when Blaine said "You lose it out here, you're in a world of hurt." Then later, Mac getting so unfastened that he's cutting his own face and doesnt know it, chasing after the predator **by himself**, singing to himself ("Long Tall Sally, she's built reeal sweet..." and then reverting back to childhood ("I seee youuuu.") Mac lost it. And later...was in a world of hurt.
The only other movie I enjoyed from this series is the 2010 movie called "Predators" starring Adrien Brody, Topher Grace and Lawerence Fishbourne. Carl Weathers was also in the "Rocky" movie series.
Love your reaction to this awesome movie! If you want to get more into the Predator/Yautja lore watch: Predator 2, then Alien v Predator (AvP), then Predators, and finally Prey. That should fill in the major questions you might have.
Another neat thing about this movie is that Arnold & Jessy went on to be governors of California and Minnesota. Sonny Landham would have made it three, but lost election bid in Tennessee.
What we shouldn't forget, it's basically a predator hunting other real or imaged superior predators. It just turns around OUR view on nature and prey and it doesn't feel nice to be on the receiving end.
23:16 well my Theory is that because the cool mud hid Dutch's heat signature and therefore The Pred couldn't see him, i think The Predator probably felt that Dutch died in The Waterfall
For Carl weathers playing the main character, consider watching him as police Sgt. Jericho Jackson in 1988's "Action Jackson." It's a maverick cop action movie with some interesting casting choices including Bill Duke (Mac in "Predator") as Jackson's by-the-book boss who is constantly angry at Jackson for breaking the rules.
30:00 "I don't know why it only attacks when it's very hot." Probably because the Predator world is very hot. Imagine if you wanted to go hunting in, say, Ladakh - would you go there in an average winter at -40 degrees celsius, or would you wait for an unusually warm summer when the temperature rises over 25 degrees? Maybe the Predator's world is so hot that the only time it can be comfortable on Earth is during a hot summer near the equator - everywhere else is too cold. The first two Predator movies followed this pattern, in fact, they established it, but then the AVP movies and Prey just kind of totally forgot about it, so maybe it was only a coincidence. Or maybe the later writers didn't want to be limited by rules created by the first two writers. Who knows.
In answer to your question in your intro, yes, it's the same Predator species and the same alien species in the Aliens vs Predators movies. Classic popcorn movie. Tons of fun.
I was stung by a scorpion when I was 5. I live in Texas and all sorts of bugs and snakes etc were an everyday part of life. The scorpions in Texas aren't as bad as some others.
Aria, if you’re curious about the Aliens vs Predator bit, in the second movie (little to no relation to this one) the main character finds the Predator’s trophy wall, and on it is a xenomorph skull, thus forever tying the two franchises together.
This is not the only one, it hasn't been hanging out on Earth all this time. It's from a race of aliens that sometimes visit for hunting trips, thus the rest of the movies.
19:49 You would think this man would recognize the mark from _targeting_ lasers, when he sees 'em. This is not _identical_ to the targeting lasers with which he is familiar, but _I_ recognized it when I first saw it.
"It" is obviously a Hunter/killer that visits other planets to hunt (and has been on Earth before as long ago as the 17th century, according to the worthy underrated sequel) Sport is the Predator's only mission, as suspence is the main point of the film it's the classic not explaining everything, because the more you know the less frightening the creature becomes , just as is true of- ALIEN, & THE THING speaking of which, this is another Sci Fi horror cross over film, not quite as awesome as those, but very effective and different
You're correct, thermal vision 🙂 And yes, in Alien vs. Predator it's the Predator species & the Alien Xenomorphs. Predator is a hunter alien breed & it was hunting the main characters for sport. They do have a code, they don't hunt If the pray has a flaw or If the pray isn't a challenge. Carl Weathers is also known as Apollo Creed in Rocky. And Aria, GET TO DA CHOPPA! 😜😉
Jean-Claude Van Damme Was Originally The Predator But He Quit Because He Would Not Be Seen On Camera So It Went To The Late Kevin Peter Hall And He Was In Predator 2 RIP Kevin Peter Hall 😊
I am animator inspired by things and franchises I grew up with and I like so much, the AVP franchise is an example of them. I even got an idea of an AVP adventure on Predator's hunting planet.
Yes, Alien v Predator is about this movie's Predator species against the alien xenomorphs you saw with Ellen Ripley aka Sigourney Weaver. They are all in the same universe. -OG
I like the way they play on Billy's Native American heritage related to his ability to track and his "nose" for sensing things beyond the standard senses. Billy didn't have a death wish. Carl Weathers found fame as Apollo Creed in the Rocky movies.
10:50 "I'm happy to say I've never seen a scorpion in real life and I hope I never see one." Yeah, but do you eat shrimp? Same thing really, except scorpions are a bit dryer and have a venomous sting.
In answer to your question, I haven't seen the latest installment in this franchise, PREY, which makes everything pretty clear, but I think the predator in this movie is simply one of many extra-terrestrial aliens who come to the planet regularly on hunting junkets akin to hunters going to Africa on big game hunts or people renting vessels to fish for marlin. These predators apparently see us as so inferior to their species that they have no qualms in killing us for sport. And it is apparently a very popular thing for them to do.
@10:50. I don't like scorpions, either. But here is a fun fact: scorpion venom is the most expensive fluid in the world, it's used a lot for medical research.
Yes, the mud blocking infrared vision is a bit exaggerated, but the predator vision might not be full spectrum infrared and could be limited, it's relatively believable and does not break emersion for me.
There is a movie from way back, called " look who's talking" where two babies, a boy and a girl, " talk " while being voiced by Bruce Willis and Roseanne Barr 😅 needless to say, its hilarious!! And YOUR VOICE would be PERFECT for that kind of stuff, voice acting etc 🥹 like some Pixar picture where your deep, rich, silky smooth yet still sultry and feminine is like a LADYBUG or some ish!! Lmfaooo kind regards!!
Good attention to detail. A lot of woman reactors find this one a bit too much of a 'guy movie', cool to see you liked it. It doesn't try to be something its not, or throw in a clunky love story, its just Arnie vs the Predator!
Glad you enjoyed it, even with a small spoiler. More information about the Predator in the next movie. Probably not really heat vision that as know it (why mud does not really work, movie stuff). Team was to rescue people, but that was a setup to stop a small invasion. Something happened to Hopper's team so Dylan tricked them to go there. (cute onesie, also your hair looks fabulous! Hope Minnie is having a good time!)
This movie and "The Thing" both have the same beginning scene with an alien ship hovering above Earth and both of them would have been just a little bit better without that scene.
Not to be a party pooper, but the first film is by far the best of the bunch. Even "Prey" is a shadow of the original. There were production issues as well where the director wanted the actors to speak in a Native American dialect and use subtitles. The studio stepped in and squashed the idea. Now, the actors sound too modern like they are teens from 21st Century LA. They also added CGI to the animatronic predator head and it looks worse than the in-camera version.
Actually, it is possible to defeat some types of thermal sights by smearing mud all over yourself - a channel called _Corridor Crew_ did exactly this experiment a couple of months ago....I don't think that I would try that, but I found it very interesting.....On the other Predator movies -- while I have not seen the latest ones, #2 was pretty good...AVP was not.
dear Aria, I recommend you watch the Alien movies in order, this is the order if you are interested. - Predator - Predator 2 - Alien vs. Predator - Alien vs. Predator 2 - Predators - Prometheus - Alien: Covenant - Alien - Aliens - Alien 3 - Alien Resurrection I ordered it for you, because I like your reactions and I love you very much, I am a lover of the Alien saga, that is why I like to see you react to my favorite saga. Take care of yourself, greetings from Peru.😘
If you want some good laughs, then watch Happy Gilmore. It's one of the better comedies ever made. Carl Weathers is also in it. I know i like seeing you laugh.
@@bossfan49 Yeah, whatever, two episodes of that show are worth twenty of any other, and the character of Weather - Vic's mentor - deserves to dedicate that time
Great reaction to a great film! On the mud/thermal vision thing I recently watched some guys on UA-cam testing the idea and it actually worked better than they expected. Cant recall the channel but surely cant be hard to find if anyone wants to watch it 😊
Looks like you haven't quite pieced together what the alien _is,_ Aria. It's not a soldier from an invading army. It's also not really a _predator,_ because predators _eat_ what they kill. No, it's a _trophy_ hunter. It's from a _race_ of trophy hunters who come to Earth to collect _trophies._ Thus, it's _much_ more believable that sequels will be based on _other_ extraterrestrial trophy hunters hunting trophies in _other_ parts of the world.
If possible before you watch predator 2 you should watch Prey. Technically you can watch them in either order but there's a small Easter egg that will pay off better if you watch Prey before 2.
I think you need a bigger mic, Aria haha. Someday I'd like to know what you think of all these 80's movies- they are the movie my generation grew up on. Would you recommend them to your friends?
In the sequel, which I did not like, you have Danny Glover from Lethal Weapon movies as the “hero”, and Gary Busey who goes into full FYI mode about the alien.
The PREDATOR series is in the Alienverse courtesy of the successful Dark Horse comic series in the late 80s-early90s. But as the decade went on, the quality of the films dropped as the corporations got more focused on making money from their popularity. However, the 2 film series do overlap retroactively, and the good news is that you don't have to see all the movies: *The Alienverse* (Chronologically) PREY PREDATOR PREDATOR 2 PREDATORS (optional) PROMETHEUS ALIEN COVENANT (not good, canon status is under review) ALIEN ALIENS (Director's Cut) ALIEN 3 (canon status under review) ALIEN RESURRECTION (canon status in question) ALIEN VS. PREDATOR is pure shit and *not* canon. Same with THE PREDATOR. Allegedly, the BLADE RUNNER films fall into the Alienverse (courtesy of Easter Eggs that might have been a joke) between PREDATORS and PROMETHEUS. The TERMINATOR films are *not* in the Alienverse. The Predator species name is "Yautja."
I just say that Arnold Schwarzenegger is the greatest actor of all time either way he is probably the best you know of playing as a soldier a one man who could be brave enough to fight the predator could be a alien predator that came from the space but all of a sudden he's the only man one Left alive either way that he's the only man that he could survive from the place that is completely ruined and he is the strongest but thank goodness he is the only one Left alive and God bless him we give thanks to him
And one more thing. as a music lover, I would really like to know what kind of track you are using in the background, in the part where you summarize your reaction. I will be glad if you leave a link to this song in the answers to my comment. Kisses, hugs, thanks for your reaction
You lost me when you wished that it would have been cool if everyone got out of there alive. There is actually an alternative plot to this movie with them getting out alive and go back home to play with their rubber ducks. It lasts 7 minutes.
I was 16 when this popped in theater. I was around for Arnold in his first role as Conan The Barbarian & liked him much before he did silly comedies but I still can't get into this one!😅 I always try & revisit my yesterday's crap cause can always turn out to be your today's Jam so tried rewatching a few months back on cable & as soon as saw Jessie Ventura talking about p***y I just couldn't keep watching, & BELIEVE ME, I love said p***y!!! 🤣🤣🤣 This out of envy friends, not spite! I suppose I'll try again before my days are done if get a chance, but will have to skip the cringe locker-room helicopter talk & hope whole movie not full of it by the time I see a damn Predator!😅 Rock On!!! 🤘🌎❤️
Fantastic reaction, Aria. This is a great action film, and to me far better than the Terminator movies. I love the look of the Predator and his weapons. This is easily the best of the series. I find Predator 2 to have some good scenes, but overall it's an average movie. Feel free to check it out though.
21:06 "Billy has a death wish."
No, no. It's just that Billy has recognized that their circumstances are hopeless, they're _all_ as good as dead, and he has resolved to die on his own _terms._ He makes it a point to slash his body to deny the alien the honor of drawing first blood.
Wrong. He is facing his own fears. He was afraid of the Predator from the get go. The director said so too.

🤔 Mmm... yes. By facing the Predator, like I said.
"He was afraid of the Predator from the get go."

What part did I get wrong?
I always took it as him buying them time with a self sacrifice.
Great!! I never knew why he did that! Perfect!
This is one of the best action movies of the 80s, shotout to the running man

don't forget the water would have lowered Arnie's body temp a couple of degrees too.
Duh! Arnold took out a predator w the mud! Of course it works!

While not as good as this one, I still think that Predator 2 is a very good movie and does its job very well. I would definitely stop there though...
@avtomatt554 The studio interfered with the original intent of the story, plus they plastered crappy CG over perfectly good practical monster effects.
A ‘heatseeker’ is a heat seeking missile. It locks onto the heat generated by the plane’s (or helicopter’s) engine & exhaust.
One fun fact... "Predator" has TWO U.S. governors in the film... Arnold and Jessie "I Ain't Got Time To Bleed" Ventura.
Almost a third.

My absolute favorite movie. The only movie I actually wore the VHS tape out until it couldn't work anymore
“How does that thing know where to go?” Either the alien assassin follows their foot prints, or the drops of blood. 😳
If you want more Carl Weathers, watch the first three Rocky movies. That's what put him on the map.
The first four, actually.
He was good in the movie,"Action Jackson" too

The Predator comes out in the hottest summers because heat brings forth aggression in mammals and the Predator sees that aggression as a challenge.
Even Aliens don't even want to come to The cold climates on Earth, That's why you rarely hear of UFO reportings in Canada

They do have a code, they don't hunt If the pray has a flaw or If the pray isn't a challenge.
Carl Weathers is also known as Apollo Creed in Rocky.
And Aria, GET TO DA CHOPPA! 😜😉
Jean-Claude Van Damme Was Originally The Predator But He Quit Because He Would Not Be Seen On Camera So It Went To The Late Kevin Peter Hall And He Was In Predator 2 RIP Kevin Peter Hall 😊
I am animator inspired by things and franchises I grew up with and I like so much, the AVP franchise is an example of them. I even got an idea of an AVP adventure on Predator's hunting planet.
Yes, Alien v Predator is about this movie's Predator species against the alien xenomorphs you saw with Ellen Ripley aka Sigourney Weaver. They are all in the same universe. -OG
Oh you should DEFINITELY watch Prey (2022)!
I like the way they play on Billy's Native American heritage related to his ability to track and his "nose" for sensing things beyond the standard senses. Billy didn't have a death wish. Carl Weathers found fame as Apollo Creed in the Rocky movies.
The mud thing absolutely works against infra-red vision. Not hard to find videos of people testing it out.
"Why are they blasting everything...?"
1980s: yes
10:50 "I'm happy to say I've never seen a scorpion in real life and I hope I never see one."
Yeah, but do you eat shrimp?
Same thing really, except scorpions are a bit dryer and have a venomous sting.
In answer to your question, I haven't seen the latest installment in this franchise, PREY, which makes everything pretty clear, but I think the predator in this movie is simply one of many extra-terrestrial aliens who come to the planet regularly on hunting junkets akin to hunters going to Africa on big game hunts or people renting vessels to fish for marlin. These predators apparently see us as so inferior to their species that they have no qualms in killing us for sport. And it is apparently a very popular thing for them to do.
@10:50. I don't like scorpions, either. But here is a fun fact: scorpion venom is the most expensive fluid in the world, it's used a lot for medical research.
The Mythbusters tested that rubbing mud wouldn't work
"Put the mask back on."
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes, the mud blocking infrared vision is a bit exaggerated, but the predator vision might not be full spectrum infrared and could be limited, it's relatively believable and does not break emersion for me.
your distrust of dylan/carl weathers early on was very funny ... ; )
There is a movie from way back, called " look who's talking" where two babies, a boy and a girl, " talk " while being voiced by Bruce Willis and Roseanne Barr 😅 needless to say, its hilarious!! And YOUR VOICE would be PERFECT for that kind of stuff, voice acting etc 🥹 like some Pixar picture where your deep, rich, silky smooth yet still sultry and feminine is like a LADYBUG or some ish!! Lmfaooo kind regards!!
Good attention to detail. A lot of woman reactors find this one a bit too much of a 'guy movie', cool to see you liked it. It doesn't try to be something its not, or throw in a clunky love story, its just Arnie vs the Predator!
Really enjoyed your reactions 🎉🎉❤
Awesome reaction. You're very intelligent. Carl Weathers is Apollo Creed in the Rocky movies.
Incredible action movie. I know Predator 2 has its fans but in my opinion Prey is the only other good entry in this franchise.
a really great and very funny Arnold movie is Twins with Danny DeVito, you'll fall of your seat laughing.
Glad you enjoyed it, even with a small spoiler. More information about the Predator in the next movie. Probably not really heat vision that as know it (why mud does not really work, movie stuff). Team was to rescue people, but that was a setup to stop a small invasion. Something happened to Hopper's team so Dylan tricked them to go there.
(cute onesie, also your hair looks fabulous! Hope Minnie is having a good time!)
Governors get-together.
Wait!!!! You haven't seen the Rocky movies? OMG, you have to watch the Rocky series!!!! Carl weathers is in the Rocky movies.
This movie and "The Thing" both have the same beginning scene with an alien ship hovering above Earth and both of them would have been just a little bit better without that scene.
If i can recall its : Predator - Predator 2 - Alien vs Predator. I may be missing one or 2
Great movie and great reaction , my favorite is the II but this one is great
Love your facial expressions reaction
Very good reaction. 👍
You ought to react to the prequel Prey after Predator 2
Not to be a party pooper, but the first film is by far the best of the bunch. Even "Prey" is a shadow of the original.
There were production issues as well where the director wanted the actors to speak in a Native American dialect and use subtitles. The studio stepped in and squashed the idea. Now, the actors sound too modern like they are teens from 21st Century LA.
They also added CGI to the animatronic predator head and it looks worse than the in-camera version.
Actually, it is possible to defeat some types of thermal sights by smearing mud all over yourself - a channel called _Corridor Crew_ did exactly this experiment a couple of months ago....I don't think that I would try that, but I found it very interesting.....On the other Predator movies -- while I have not seen the latest ones, #2 was pretty good...AVP was not.
your background music reminds me of samurai champloo
dear Aria, I recommend you watch the Alien movies in order, this is the order if you are interested.
- Predator
- Predator 2
- Alien vs. Predator
- Alien vs. Predator 2
- Predators
- Prometheus
- Alien: Covenant
- Alien
- Aliens
- Alien 3
- Alien Resurrection
I ordered it for you, because I like your reactions and I love you very much, I am a lover of the Alien saga, that is why I like to see you react to my favorite saga. Take care of yourself, greetings from Peru.😘
If you want some good laughs, then watch Happy Gilmore. It's one of the better comedies ever made. Carl Weathers is also in it.
I know i like seeing you laugh.
I've been bitten by a scorpion on my pinky toe once, it was hiding in my shoe.
*stung
@@bossfan49 👍
Carl Weathers is in tv show The Shield
He only appeared in 2 episodes. That's certainly not what he's famous for.
@@bossfan49 Yeah, whatever, two episodes of that show are worth twenty of any other, and the character of Weather - Vic's mentor - deserves to dedicate that time
Why is it following them??
Name of film: Predator 🤦🏻♂️
Great reaction to a great film! On the mud/thermal vision thing I recently watched some guys on UA-cam testing the idea and it actually worked better than they expected. Cant recall the channel but surely cant be hard to find if anyone wants to watch it 😊
It came from the stars.
Looks like you haven't quite pieced together what the alien _is,_ Aria. It's not a soldier from an invading army. It's also not really a _predator,_ because predators _eat_ what they kill.
No, it's a _trophy_ hunter. It's from a _race_ of trophy hunters who come to Earth to collect _trophies._ Thus, it's _much_ more believable that sequels will be based on _other_ extraterrestrial trophy hunters hunting trophies in _other_ parts of the world.
Part 2 is okay. But not as good as this one. Great reaction.
If possible before you watch predator 2 you should watch Prey. Technically you can watch them in either order but there's a small Easter egg that will pay off better if you watch Prey before 2.
This is my most viewed movie ever.
Some channel recently did a "mud vs thermal vision" video and the results were pre-tty much mud wins
25:32 because movie's gotta Arnold
I think you need a bigger mic, Aria haha. Someday I'd like to know what you think of all these 80's movies- they are the movie my generation grew up on. Would you recommend them to your friends?
In the sequel, which I did not like, you have Danny Glover from Lethal Weapon movies as the “hero”, and Gary Busey who goes into full FYI mode about the alien.
The PREDATOR series is in the Alienverse courtesy of the successful Dark Horse comic series in the late 80s-early90s. But as the decade went on, the quality of the films dropped as the corporations got more focused on making money from their popularity. However, the 2 film series do overlap retroactively, and the good news is that you don't have to see all the movies:
*The Alienverse* (Chronologically)
PREY
PREDATOR
PREDATOR 2
PREDATORS (optional)
PROMETHEUS
ALIEN COVENANT (not good, canon status is under review)
ALIEN
ALIENS (Director's Cut)
ALIEN 3 (canon status under review)
ALIEN RESURRECTION (canon status in question)
ALIEN VS. PREDATOR is pure shit and *not* canon. Same with THE PREDATOR. Allegedly, the BLADE RUNNER films fall into the Alienverse (courtesy of Easter Eggs that might have been a joke) between PREDATORS and PROMETHEUS. The TERMINATOR films are *not* in the Alienverse.
The Predator species name is "Yautja."
I just say that Arnold Schwarzenegger is the greatest actor of all time either way he is probably the best you know of playing as a soldier a one man who could be brave enough to fight the predator could be a alien predator that came from the space but all of a sudden he's the only man one Left alive either way that he's the only man that he could survive from the place that is completely ruined and he is the strongest but thank goodness he is the only one Left alive and God bless him we give thanks to him
You should get permission from your parents before you use their youtube account.
And one more thing. as a music lover, I would really like to know what kind of track you are using in the background, in the part where you summarize your reaction. I will be glad if you leave a link to this song in the answers to my comment. Kisses, hugs, thanks for your reaction
Modern Time - An Jone
I found it on youtube’s music library:)
@@ariachanson01 Thank you very much, girl)))
You lost me when you wished that it would have been cool if everyone got out of there alive.
There is actually an alternative plot to this movie with them getting out alive and go back home to play with their rubber ducks. It lasts 7 minutes.
5:03 Anyone for Human Jerky?
I was 16 when this popped in theater. I was around for Arnold in his first role as Conan The Barbarian & liked him much before he did silly comedies but I still can't get into this one!😅 I always try & revisit my yesterday's crap cause can always turn out to be your today's Jam so tried rewatching a few months back on cable & as soon as saw Jessie Ventura talking about p***y I just couldn't keep watching, & BELIEVE ME, I love said p***y!!!
🤣🤣🤣
This out of envy friends, not spite! I suppose I'll try again before my days are done if get a chance, but will have to skip the cringe locker-room helicopter talk & hope whole movie not full of it by the time I see a damn Predator!😅
Rock On!!!
🤘🌎❤️
Cada vez qué veo a una mujer asustarse me da produce una necesidad de querer abrazarla para que se pase el miedo 😂😂😂
Get to da choppa!!
Fantastic reaction, Aria. This is a great action film, and to me far better than the Terminator movies.
I love the look of the Predator and his weapons.
This is easily the best of the series. I find Predator 2 to have some good scenes, but overall it's an average movie. Feel free to check it out though.
