    Awesome reaction, btw, one of my favourite YT reactors :)
    25:40 Predator is basically an elite hunter, and he takes trophies (bones, skulls and other stuff). He doesn't hunt for food or cause he must, he hunts for sport, forever seeking new challenges and a worthy opponent. He can be confused in several ways: as he sees heat signatures, you can block yours (by applying mud), or heat your environment up (by setting it on fire). That will confuse his targeting system and sight/preception in general.

    Predators come to Earth where there is extreme heat and conflict in search of worthy opponents to hunt. The greater the challenge, the more honor the trophy will bring to the hunter. So basically they are alien sports hunters.

    Other Arnie films to react to which I recommend are: 'True Lies' which is an action adventure comedy, 'Total Recall' Sc-Fi action film, 'Twins' a comedy, 'End of Days' which is horror action film, there are others but these are some of my favourites.

    @Addie Counts the predator speices is called the Yautja. It does what it does because he is a trophy hunter. It only hunts those who are "worthy quarry" it's entire culture revolves are hunting for sport and glory. It won't hunt a target that it thinks isn't worth it's time, such as individuals who are sick, weak, unarmed, or pregnant. it won't kill kill those individuals because their is no "honor " in doing that.
    Basically the best way to survive against the predator is to simply not be armed with any weapons and look as non-threatening as possible.

      It suffered under the weight of its own ad campaign. If the studio had just given them a few more months and released it as a teen film, which is what it was, the film would have done reasonably well. But they were so set on having a summer blockbuster that they oversold it targeting the wrong audience and it imploded. You're right that it's under-rated, but it's not the best work of anyone involved.

There were some rather adult moments to it that I think shoved it out of the teen category. Maybe that's why they had such a hard time marketing it? It didn't quite fit nicely into any specific boxes? Part teen, part comedy, part action, part satire?

    In answer to your question, the reason the Predator does it is for sport. It likes hunting. It picks soldiers and other "dangerous" people (which is why it leaves Anna alive. Dutch says "it didn't kill you because you were unarmed. No sport."). It collects skulls of "worthy" opponents as trophies, like Billy because he challenged the Predator in melee combat rather than using guns.

    Predators are a technologically advanced species called "Yautja".
    Yautja society is a tribal one and they gain status within their ranks based on their hunting trophies.
    This one was a juvenile which is why Dutch was able to defeat him. If it had been an experienced or elder Yautja, Dutch probably would have lost. Don't get me wrong Dutch is an absolute beast but Yautja are no joke.

    The pilot of the helicopter at the end of the movie was the late Kevin Peter Hall, the actor who played the Predator. He would also play the Predator in 1990's Predator 2. In the comedy Harry And The Hendersons, he played Harry(Bigfoot). And the Predator hunts because he is on safari, like when people go big game hunting in Africa. The entire Predator species travel to other planets to hunt, always with the goal of looking for the biggest challenge in the prey they choose to hunt.

    I love Dutch gradually putting the puzzle pieces together on how to fight the Predator while the Predator itself observes and learns about its prey. And of course the Predator dropping the helmet and weapons before the final battle to show Dutch it considers him an opponent/prey worthy of unarmed combat. Yet ultimately it shows itself as a sore loser by activating the self destruct mechanism and laughing at Dutch.
    They never really managed to get the simple concept of the Predator right in the sequels, which is a damn shame.

    MY #1 FAVORITE ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER MOVIE!
    Facts you didn't know about the movie:
    Jean Claude van Damme played the Predator in some parts of the movie, but quit production as he was tired of wearing the original suit which looked like a lizard insect hybrid.
    He even wanted to kickbox Arnold but the producers refused.
    Kevin Peter Hall, RIP, was cast as the titular character as he was more of an intimidating opponent for Arnold's character Dutch being 7'2".
    The PREDATOR suit was designed by Oscar Winning VFX company Stan Winston Studios and would later return to the franchise for PREDATOR 2 in 1990.
    The design of the Predator was based on the painting of a Rastafarian warrior that Joel Silver had in his office.
    The mandibles were James Cameron's idea, as both him and Stan Winston were flying to Japan to promote ALIENS.
    Half the cast and crew got food poisoning except for Arnold and Director McTiernan whom ate Spaghetti O's and PBJ Sandwiches. Schwarzenegger would later hire his own personal Chef to give the actors the food they needed but no hot meals were allowed due to the heat wave in Mexico so they ate protein bars instead.
    The producers hired a bodyguard to protect people from Sonny Landham, RIP whom played Billy, as he was prone to violent outbursts.
    Landham said in an interview that "We weren't making a movie, it was a survival story for all of us."
    The stuntman that falls off the cliff and lands in the water blew out his kneecap.
    It was 110 degrees in the shade while it was 42 degrees due to rain that lasted 2 weeks, making filming even more difficult.
    The film was a box office success, making $100 million dollars ($470 million dollars today) against an $18 million dollar budget.
    It was nominated for Best Visual Effects but lost to InnerSpace.
    It's been confirmed as one of the best Sci-fi Action movies ever made.

    I think most reactors miss this but the actual trap is a snare designed to yank the target into the spikes. The big log is the counterweight that pulls the snare up, not a separate trap. The Predator saw the "business end" of the trap but didn't notice the counterweight so that's when Dutch took advantage of it.

    It boasts three politicians in the cast.

    The Predator is essentially a big game hunter, on an intergalactic scale. His actions can be broken down into several basic categories, as long as he's not in a situation where he's pressed for time.
    Bodies that are hung without being skinned, just gutted, are basically for eating. Didn't provide any challenges, should have done better, get tossed in the food bin.
    Skinned bodies mean they tried to put up a fight, were fun, and are now being used as territory markers and fear tactics, to make other potential prey more alert and afraid.
    Removing the spine and head is one of the highest signs of respect the Predator can show. It means that person showed bravery in the face of their own death and fought to the end even though they knew they couldn't win. So he takes the head for the skull to add to his trophy collection.

    Watching Addie jump and be twitchy this whole movie... is my new favourite thing, I think.
    Addie (as arnie goes over the falls): Can we get a break?
    My gallows humour: Arm, leg, or neck? (for the break...)
    Oh and for the record... it is a "trophy hunter" there is no point in it just the trophy. It wants to test the best among human warriors and meet them in "fair" combat... and kill the best.

    Arnold has some great comedies if you want a change of pace. Kindergarten Cop and Twins are two of the funniest. And True Lies is a great action comedy directed and co-written by James Cameron himself.

    I think this represents the apex of '80s action movies. Also a good lesson in "show, don't tell".
    The Predator isn't so much a predator so much as a trophy hunter. And it specialises in dangerous prey, which is why it attacks the people with weapons.

    Perfect blend of action and sci-fi horror. Fun fact the late Kevin Peter Hall who played the Predator cameos at the end as the chopper pilot. The Predator's 'thing' is pretty much a 'hunter' collecting 'trophies' across the universe.

    The Predator is a hunter, and the kind that kills just for collecting prizes.

    The creature is officially called a Youtja. The species itself, despite being hunters, are highly advance technology wise. They have ships, cloaking devices for them personally, and for their ships, energy weapons ontop of normal bladed weapons.
    The best comparison is, much like how people hunt for sport, so do the Youtja (Predators). They're civilization is a honor based civilization. They show great honor and respect to whoever fights and kills one of their own. They also don't fight unarmed persons or cowering people, hense why the character Ana was ignored despite toward the end picking up one of the guns and attempting to aim it when Dutch kicked it out of her hand.

    The Predator is really nothing of the sort. It is actually a big game hunter who hunts for sport and trophies (and competition with its own kind), and there is no bigger game than intelligent, armed game like humans.

    Great great reaction Addie. Love u jumping every time the thermal vision kicks in. I saw this film with my dad in the theater in 87 when I was 14. Pretty sure it was my first Arnie movie in the theater. I loved every moment of it! It’s one of my favorite sci-fi action films.

    Welcome to a classic action movie with a "some of us are going to run for governor someday" cast! 😁 Jesse Ventura (Blain) became governor of my state of Minnesota, Arnold became governor of California, and Sonny Landham (Billy) ran for governor of Kentucky. Great reactions as always, Addie!! Your jump scares bring me joy. 😊

    Anna told you what the Predator was doing, making trophies. Arnold told you why it was after them, specifically. They were the dangerous game that made the trophies the Predator could be proud of.

    A fun fact: One of the actors in this movie was the governor of Minnesota and he was one of the members of the Navy Seals (first generation). Next Predator movies do show their origins and why they do hunt.

    This was inadvertently one of the best movies of all time. Yes, it was imagined as a teen boy/male action Arnold movie but it was so well written, produced, directed, edited, acted... etc.... that it is legitimately one of the best suspense action thrillers/horrors of all time.

    What I miss about the 80s and 90s films and especially Arnold movies are the sarcastic remarks and puns. It's never overly done or hand hold the viewer. Just if you catch it, great. If not, moving along.

    When me and my mate watched this in the late 80s in the theater, we had no idea about the sci-fi angle or the creature. We just thought we were watching a standard action flick.

    Fun fact. Arnold wasnt acting when he first seen the predator. He had never seen the costume design for the predator before this scene so it was a genuine shock to him and he couldnt help but speak the line "You are one ugly motherfucker" which was totally off script but was kept as the director enjoyed his reaction

      In Predator 2 (1990) When Mike Harrigan at the Slaughterhouse unmasked the Yautja City Hunter in ‘97 he said the same thing until the City Hunter grabbed him by the neck and finished off the line.
