I really like how Adrian Brody is the total opposite of Dutch in Predator. He doesn’t care for the team at all. Until his arc makes him do so.
The Yakuza fight gave me what I missed in the original!
In the comics, Predators like the main three are called "Bad Bloods", because they don't follow a code of honor. The three "Super" Predators are named Tracker, Falconer and Mr. Black
Mr. Black? Isn't it 'Berserker' actually?
@@hemantt8435 he's a Berserker class Bad Blood. He's called Mr. Black
I've always known them as Colmillos (Tusks), Aguila (Eagle) and Cacique (Chieftain or Chief for short). That's what Mom and dad always called them when we watched the movies together, so those names kinda stuck!
Adrian Brody did a great job. This is the movie that proved that he could be an action star and not just an emotional underdog in Oscar bait movies and RomComs.
He was always versatile. The Pianist is a legit great movie, not just 'oscar bait'.
@@orangewarm1 Read what I wrote. I never said it wasn't a good movie, I only said that his role in this movie was very different from that one.
@@orangewarm1Oh The Pianist, by Roman Polanski. Which the academy gave a standing ovation to even though they all knew he couldn't be in the country, never mind the room, because he fled from the US after the statutory rape of a 13 yr old.
This Is The Same Actor Who Potrayed Jack In King Kong 2005
This was the second role I saw Adrien Brody in, the first being King Kong. I watched his other movies later on, and the man has range.
6:20 She put a magnet on a leaf in water, which should act as a compass. It is wasn't pointing north, it was just spinning. So there are no magnetic poles to use for navigation.
Or there's some kind of electronic interference messing with the magnet. It would be a truly weird planet to not have any magnetic poles at all and yet still able to support life.
Not to be 'that guy' but you partially correct. Yes, it was a survival compass. But it was not a magnet on the leaf. It was just a needle that was magnetized, most likely by rubbing it on silk or wool.
finally topher grace playing a bad guy he can actually pull off instead of venom
This choice of characters showed that if they wished to continue with more movies, they didn't need to have Arnold. I only got to see this movie recently and was surprised how good it was. Glad you liked it , Bunny.
This is a highly underrated movie. Probably the second-best Predator movie(And I love Predator 2, FWIW). It has a great cast, a great premise, and a great soundtrack! This movie deserves more respect!
Also I love how the Yakuza guy's fight with the Predator mirrors the scene where Billy stops to fight it in Predator 1! But unlike that movie, we actually get to see the fight!
Also I LOVE Topher Grace as the sociopathic, murdering doctor!! What a great plot twist!!!
Yup. So many great things in this movie. Yakuza guy is my favorite too. But all of them were awesome in their own right.
Of the main 4, this is probably tied with P2 in last place. But to be honest I think the whole series is actually pretty great. They all have their own take on the setting and it all makes sense. It's not like Alien, thee first 2 are excellent and the next 2 are just awful. All of these are good in their own way.
I'm 59, watched them all as they came out, along with the alien franchise. I really love this one as well, it actually all makes sense and keeps you guessing. *Thanks for your reaction.*
Was the woman, from this movie, the same character from the first movie? Being that she knew what happened in the beginning. Thought you might know?
@@richardw64 No she isn't. This woman, Alice Braga, is Isabelle. In Predator, the Spanish woman who survived was named Ana. I'm guessing that they come from the same people & the Predator knowledge of the first movie was shared, that's why Isabelle knew what she knew, or something like that.
It's a nice touch to have Isabelle in the movie. Her presence creates a link to the original Predator.
When I saw the trailer…a gathering of unsavory individuals, placed in an impossible, hopeless, no win situation, no happy ending…I said “Pass!” Then I found the DVD cheap in the bargain bin with other failed films. I took a chance and bought it cheap. I LOVE this film. Against all odds, these unsavory lot were actually a ‘fun’ group of guys that I ended up rooting for. Bunny, I’m glad you watched this one. I knew you were going to like this one.
Woot!
Ohhhhh YAYYYYYY!!!
I. LOVE. THIS. MOVIE, Bunny!
I don’t like/never watch any of the other alien/predator/gross human-killing creature movies… but I originally watched this “by accident”😅 on TV - probably because Adrian Brody is in it, I LUV Adrian Brody - and it’s on my “DVDs I need to buy” list.
What a GREAT surprise! (I’ve been binge watching your Star Trek reactions, BTW… Your channel’s quickly become one of my favorites!)
I love this movie. It's a shame they told you to skip it.
Little trivia about the director, who is a 50-year-old guy of hungarian origin. He directed great music videos for hungarian alternative pop and hip-hop artists in the late nineties before making his first feature film 20 years ago, which is still quite well known and quoted among today's 30-40 year olds.
I agree with you, not sure why this one isnt as popular, I think it's a really good movie.
You deserve a subscribe for immediately figuring out the entire storyline within 1 minute 40 seconds.
Adrian Brody is no Arnold Schwarzenegger but man gave it his all in this film.
Costumer is not always right. Many good movies had been victims of poor marketing and toxic Fandom. Good you chose to see this one, is in my humble opinion one of the best of the franchise. Subscribed.
Counting only the main movies, they're actually all pretty great. Even being in last place isn't bad (Personally that's where I'd put this, even though I really like this flick). But if you include AVP it's definitely better than both of those.
Bunny, you can watch "Prey" pretty much at any point in your exploration of the Predator franchise without messing up the sequence of the movies. When you finally see it, you will understand why I assert that. In regard to "Alien vs Predator (AVP)", you've already watched the first two movies in the Predator and Alien franchises, so you'll understand what is going on in AVP. I'm really excited to see how you react to all of these films. 👍😊
well technically the Predator 1 was the only one which should be watched first after it you can go in anyorder
At the time it was released, everyone I knew who were fans of Predator found this one to be a great addition to the series. I didn't hear many negative things about it until years later. Predator, Prey, and Predators are top 3 for me.
Lore wise regarding the Predators (yautja), my big notice in the movie was that the big guys were not at all following the normal code that we saw in the previous movies. They put the humans in an unfamiliar environment, and didn't give them a chance at being able to escape, and in general didn't have the same hunting spirit. So my understanding was seeing the normal predator ties up is that the 3 are not the norm.
My second favorite Predator movie after original. Good mix of humor and suspense.
Mine too!
Predators has been my favorite sequel in this series ever since it came out, but now it’s tied with Prey. Time will tell, LOVED Prey immediately
The Larger Predators hunt the smaller ones. The one that was strung up, that was their way of bullying him because in their eyes, he's inferior and deserves no honors.
I also would have liked to see them get off the planet at the end. Other than that, I thought this was one of the better Predator movies. I had a feeling that the doctor wasn't telling the truth about himself when I first saw this but I wasn't sure until the twist which was great. Always like the scene when they realize they are not on Earth. Glad you liked this one Bunnytails. Great reaction!
Great reaction. The most under appreciated film in the franchise, but fantastic.
The Russian guy is Oleg Taktarov, a former UFC fighter. A true badass!🍻
In my opinion this is the second best film in the franchise. I like the return to the jungle and the characters were all really interesting.
I actually really like this one. I didn't see Topher Grace's turn coming, but I really should have. The signs were definitely there.
yeah, the fact that he was chosen by the predatorsto be part of this group should be a giant red flag.
I think, Alien vs. Predator is also a big part of the Lore. And it connects these two storys very well.
Loved that you were so into the Yakuza v Yautja scene. For me, the most impressive scene of the movie. Smart cookie. You work out most stuff (but not always .... LOL). Such a good reaction to a sometimes maligned film. Are you planning on doing AVP at any time? I hope so 😊
Prey is next in this series, then AVP after that! 😁
I loved this film. The producers wanted to return to the jungle, where the first one took place (after 2 and the AvP films) brought it back to basics, no cities, just man vs monster...and when you asked at the beginning of the film "is this Hunger Games?",. that was a very on-the-nose guess. I loved this, because it's all action from beginning to end, loved the crazy mix of killers, very well cast, too...good stuff.
I've always really enjoyed this entry, and honestly, consider it the "part 3" of the franchise. I like how open-ended the ending is (though Dark Horse comics did publish a sequel to this movie showing how Royce and Isabelle eventually got off that planet, so there is material that is a continuation of this movie's story).
From the totally dramatic actor like Adrian Brody I would never expected so good action role
In a behind the scenes feature, it revealed that Topher Grace did his own stunt of falling into the water. While getting out, he quipped, "Oh yeah, this is just like That 70s Show."
Glad that you went ahead and watched Predators. I'm with you when you say that it's in an equal place with the original movie. Not to say that I don't enjoy Predator 2 but I have more preference for combat in an actual jungle rather than the concrete jungle but I applaud P2's PTB for doing something different to Predator. Also I would most definitely add my voice to those recommending the skipping of The Predator. Such a mess of a movie and an attack on the senses. Prey is most definitely the next true chapter in this franchise.
Also, about Predators, I just love the scene when they walk out of the undergrowth and realise where they are. The looks on their faces, especially that of the convict who screws his eyes up and then opens them again to try and register what he is seeing, is pitch perfect in my humble opinion.
I had to mull it over for the past few years, but this is my second favorite Predator movie above Prey. Prey is great, but I like this one more. Then Predator 2. I haven't seen The Predator yet. Probably won't.
I would love to see Royce show up in another sequel. That would make my day.
I wish the AvP movies hadn't been made by the people who made them. They could have been... They should have been so much better. They failed at the script level, and the director's weren't good enough to compensate for those shortcomings.
Same, here and I tried to watch the 2018 one and I couldn't finish it. I couldn't get past 15 minutes in. It's insufferable. They should've canceled it. It just builds distrust in the franchise if someone sees it first. Their first impression will be tainted and potentially never watch another/better installment.
The books are good too
thank you so much for reacting to this one, it's pretty rare to find reactions to this, and this is my favorite predator movie after prey
AVP is underrated - once people get that these movies are just like the MCU in that they are stories from comics it makes more sense in the big picture of things
One great thing about time going by is that all the whiner's n haters usually go after 'fresh meat', so enough time has gone by that you won't hear from them concerning flicks like this. And by going through the comment section, that looks about right, lol. I like this instalment, and if anything have respect for what it was trying to do. There a some wonderful lines and moments in this one. Lots of respect to you for also wanting to see for yourself, most reactors just do the first two. Consider me subscribed.
Thank you!
I love this movie SO much!
Honestly, this and Prey are tied for the top spot for me.
Fortunately for me, I’m more of a movie buff than a film critic. That means I’ve enjoyed a lot more movies than most people!
I liked this movie and AVP, and I’m glad I didn’t stop watching Die Hard movies after “Vengeance” because Live Free or Die Hard is my favorite of the series!!
(I loved More American Graffiti too) 😎🍿
This is as good as the first one, but in a different way. IMO
This film is very underrated.
I love how the folks that made these movies put easter eggs everywhere and the actors are good too and the universe this occupies and how hr giger's work ended up a part of the yautja story and how much different and even larger the elders and bigger warriors its no wonder that a few could take out so many xenomorph
This movie had an all star cast , a different take on the predators world and how their food chain works , cool action scenes including a predator vs a Yakuza with a katana, and yet for some reason people say that " prey" is better, a movie about a native American girl boss who takes on a mentally challenged predator, and don't try to convince me that there wasn't something wrong with that predator, he had the special helmet and everything
lmfao , thanks for giving me a good laugh.
totally agree btw. the Predators is actually doing good world building and opening up the lore for the fans. Yet people received it very very negatively.
you cant make this ish up.
prey is so bad..woke af
Fun flick, I despise Topher Grace so I suspected him all along. Great reaction Bunny!
one of the best openings ever
I watched this with my parents on DVD on my 20th Birthday and we loved it, especially the scene where one of their mercenaries, Isabelle, tells Royce and the others the story on how Dutch survived his encounter with the Predator in 1987, also known as "The Guatemala Incident."
“The Predator” as well as the Aliens Vs Predator (AvP is better than AvP Requiem ) series are also worth a watch.
While they aren’t the best movies they are still fun.
Prey however is honestly the best modern Predator movie.
nah men, the predator sucks in every aspect, compared, the avp movies are masterpieces.
(At 14:27) From first to last:
1) Falconer
2) Tracker
3) Berserker
13:28 "It's not alive is it?" Followed immediately by the only jump scare I saw you jump to. Also, you looked amazing for this reaction.
Thanks!
35:56 He didn't use mud... he set so many fires around him that the Predator couldn't see through all the bright Infrared light. He became visible when he stood in front of a tree.
You're part right, part wrong. Royce became visible because of the Predator's advanced tech detecting Royce's insanely beating heartbeat. The fires helped to cover his tracks with excessive heat so the Predator's IR vision wouldn't work well. THE MUD smeared on his body also gave Royce cover lowering his body temperature. Look closely, you'll see it. Royce knew the odds were against him beating a Predator. He needed all the help he could get, & he still needed Isabelle's help to kill the beast. Mud covers liabilities & saves your ass.
I'm pleasantly surprised you chose to watch this movie. I was one of the earlier recommenders of Predators. My reaction mirrored yours almost exactly. I found it to be, if not a great movie, but a pretty good one. One thing I never pictured was Adrien Brody as an "action star" for this role, and yet it worked. Interesting casting.
Fun fact: Theirs two factions of Yautja (predators), the first faction are the Hunters, they follow the warrior/hunter honor code which they're forbidden to hurt/kill any unarmed civilians/innocence or wounded/sick soldiers/people. They're are interested in the thrill of the hunt, the more dangerous prey, the bigger the trophies, the bigger respects/honor the hunter receives from other fellow hunters
The second faction are called the Killers (not bad blood, bad blood are rogue/awol hunters but are still hunters), they do not follow the warrior/hunter honor code, they're like a militarily soldiers who conquer worlds and kill anyone and anything in their path, they do not hunt for sport, they'll kill everything including civilians and children.
I loved this movie too. 👍 don't make us wait too long for Prey.
The Yakuza was the coolest and bravest of all.
He took off his shoes to become one with the elements, kept quiet and listened, assessed everything.
Fought with skill, killed and died like a true warrior.
Proved that one on one samurai and yautja are equal.
This was the first R rated film I saw with my dad in the theaters. I was 11 years old and I remember going back to school and just telling all my friends about it 😅now watching it fully grown, and I admit I still love it. Gald you enjoyed it too!
Glad you liked it. This is my favorite Predator movie. It turns the concept on its head while still maintaining the hunted vibe, the intrigue and the action.
I can’t believe Walton Goggins was in this movie. He plays the inmate. I just finished watching the Fallout TV series, he’s awesome in that show.
The doctor in Predators is Topher Grace from the 70s Show
There is a follow-up comic to this movie and Predator: Hunting Grounds, the video game, directly references it.
38:50 well ofcourse, a lot of people told you to watch only first 2 Terminator movies as well, why who knows same with Predator all of the movies are enjoyable
This movie leads into "The Predator", which a lot of people throw shade at, but it does give you more about the lore and why they hunt like they do. I would suggest that before "Prey", just for context. What I loved most about this film was the sword battle between the Yakuza guy and the Predator, as well as all the references to the first film and other movies. Also, if you've watched the "Alien" films, watch "Alien VS. Predator", too. It brings the 2 storylines together, and is a fun one to watch. I know that others will disagree, but these films add quite a bit to the stories. I enjoyed your reaction to this one. Great job!❤
The story arc was addressed in the comic books.
im glad you picked this movie also, its highly underrated!
9:25 PHRASING - Archer
Also my favorite Predator movie. Very intense, the twist with the doctor, some good characters despite almost everyone being some variety of evil. And good variety to the enemy Predators, to mix it up. We even get Predator vs Predator!
Also, since I'm a huge Pathfinder RPG nerd I can't help but think of this as the Hunted on Abadon.
This movie was absolutely a wild ride and a complete underdog of the Predator films ❤🎉 it took a concept and expanded it PERFECTLY, even giving us some solid characters that are on par with the first, which is why i feel this is the closest(next to Prey) to the 1st as far as nostalgia and something we know, but shown in a new way/light 🙌 The Topher Grace reveal was Crazy!! Lol i honestly didnt put it together until i noticed some small little things he was doing and saying, which i ultimately knew when he used the Russians kids photo as his own 😂 then i knew he really was a wolf in sheeps clothing.
P.S. There IS a follow up COMIC to ths movie, so if thats something you wanna check out, its out there to see ❤
'Im the one that got away, the one you don't fuck with.' Such a great quote
Lawrence Fishburn...was in APOCALYPSE NOW!! AT 14. "THE MATRIX". "BOYZ IN THE HOOD"
As a 6'4" cis-pan-ace-demi, native blooded male USMC veteran and lifelong fan of Predator and Aliens films, Adrian Brody was for that 2 hours both the HOTTEST man alive and an outstanding warfighter. I was very happy with this film; Prey even more so.
I don't understand the "hate" about this movie.PTEDATORS its my favorite of the Franchise and I'm a 80's Kid.
This movie is very underrated! One of my fav. in this series. Very happy you decided to check it out. You'll love Prey!
28:10 "This guy is dead weight." You really pegged it with the term, Bunny. Just seconds later we hear the term repeated in the actual movie. Right on, lady, right on. "He hasn't even been that funny." lol 🤣🤣😂😂 Too much haha
This one, the original, and prey make a great trilogy head and shoulders above the rest
i think the problem is people try to guess what happens in movies rather than just watch and see to find out
That sounds extremely boring as well as not good for your brain health!
The Predator (2018) is pretty good. Shane Black co-wrote and directed it and his stuff is worth watching.
That's a joke, right? The Predator is one of the worst films in years.
this is a big, big, BIG joke, right?
Agreed! I loved how it was revealed that the next step in human/Predator evolution was to develop aspergers syndrome, and that the Predators loved coming to Earth so much is because of global warming, and I peed-myself with laughter when the government lady shot herself in the foot!
Truly one of the Movies of All Time!
The beauty about human beings is the difference in our opinions. I don't care who doesn't like it. I love this movie. I take it at entertainment value, not actors, not directors but the writing of a story is more important no matter how out there it is.
THE LARGE AND SMALLER PREDATORS HAVE A "BLOOD FUED"😎
Guy in prison orange is Walton Goggins....👍🏼👍🏼Hes very good in "JUSTIFIED" "SIX" "SONS OF ANARCHY"
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
AVP gives even more context into their culture.
I'll need to check the movie out sometimes, this seemed like an interest movie, and I do think the Predators are fascinating. Great review!
Good movie with lots of twists. Great actors. Don't feel bad nobody thinks a doctor could be bad. I didn't believe my Uncle when he said one tried to lift his wallet. Until a few months later when I saw in the newspaper that he did it again and the cops came and found the guys wallet behind books on his bookshelf
The first guy shooting is Oleg Taktarov, an MMA guy from the 90s UFC days... A tough sumbitch i loved watching. 🔥🔥🔥👊🏽💥🥋
…The same for “Terminator 3.” Many people have been telling ‘reactors” to skip “Terminator 3” but those who have reacted to it turn out liking it.😂
In my opinion, Predators is the second best of the Predator movies.
31.34 that ship was in autopilot mode.
I am mostly barefoot since 1976. Even tough guys looking for trouble look down at my feet and change their minds. I run barefoot, usually on asphalt, when necessary, which happens sometimes around here. The new manager and her masters are so disturbed by the fact that I clean this entire block, barefoot, of dogshit, broken glass, wet and dry garbage, recyclables tossed on the street... that they are trying to evict me. There are a couple of yuppies in the building who have complained about shite they make up about me. Welcome to Hollywood. I have lived in this building for 33 years and assholes keep buying the building. It was built in the late 1920s and the owners are destroying it from the inside out. I want Quentin to buy it so it can be restored. Bare feet cuz shoes feel terrible. I carry flip-flops for grocery shopping. Yes I wash my feet everytime I come home. I'm 70 and I weigh 107 pounds. The predators in Hollywood have no honor and tons of prejudice and they are cowards.
This was oddly disturbing and weirdly satisfaying to read.
@@jimsenbonzakura9402- Apparently the adventure never ends.
25:42 These predator sobs just gotta get their vertebrae kicks...
As a huge huge fan of predator, i enjoyed this too 😊
I'm glad you decided to not listen to the naysayers and watch Predators. It's such a good movie and not just gives us more of the same but something a tad different. I had read once that the original idea for this movie was to bring back Arnold and Danny for this movie. Same story where they would be kidnapped by the Predators and dropped on a planet to be hunted. Although that would've been awesome to see. I'm kinda glad they went with this story instead. I'm happy you enjoyed this movie and hope you watch more of the Predator movies.
(At 10:00) Hell Hounds
The two black actors were from the Matrix as Mobieus and the new Blade
This movie is super underrated compared any of the other sequels of predator franchise I love this movie predators especially the guy the Yakuza guy versus the samurai predator whatever you want to call him there's a lot of surprising twists it does have its moments where it's kind of like could be better I did see it in theaters the day came out was awesome on the big theater ❤ that shocking twist with Mr Doctor Guy was not expected Toby Grace did a good job pulling that character off for what it is there is a moments where it hints to it but you don't really see it Lawrence fishburne did a phenomenal job for his little cameo from The matrix I'm glad you enjoyed this movie it's very underrated it's way better than I thought it would be❤
Better ensemble id say than The Predator
That whole movie was trash
@@Beardo2517 it is
21:26 No, he did not lost 2 fingers. yubitsume is called, is a common practice in Yakuzas, if they talk to much (disclose activities, details or anything to anyone really small details in recent times, police for example) the person needs to chop part of the finger for each time he did that, another head Yakuza member needs to be present on the event. I think this practice goes a long way in the back of the years, but for moderns times is for leaking details.
In my opinion some said to skip this one for the same reason they said skip Alien 3 and 4.
I believe it's because they like pop culture blockbuster type movies, but are not necessarily avid science fiction/fantasy fans.
Highly underrated. On top of it being a great movie, the ending song is Long Tall Sally. Totally unexpected, but very much enjoyed, especially on the first watch.
Asian guy in suit is a "Gangster" Ikuzo
bit late since i just found your channel but - yes they left this open ended because they rebooted the franchise AFTER this reboot. this one was done by Robert Rodriguez and honestly they should have left the franchise in his hands so he could be like the Kevin Feige of a Predator franchise style MCU. Rodriguez really "got it" what the franchise was about, however the studio didnt advertise for this movie at all so it under performed and the critics panned it for being too similar to the first movie. this movie and Dredd were both criminally under appreciated. a lot of cinephiles still say this is a bad movie but in comparison to what happened later this one is great.
And there is a comic that tells if they make it back or not after the movie..
BTW, BUNNY…
SUGGESTION:
“THE PIANIST”
Adrian Brody won an Academy Award for this movie - I think it was his “break out role”. It’s a true story about a Jewish musician trying to survive WWII. (OMG… His acting is AMAZING.😳)
Another masterpiece of a movie
