I liked the "You're Fired" moment. Murphy had clearly stated the fourth secret objective in his programming which stated that he could not harm any OCP employees, and the CEO got the idea straight away. Cue the "Thank you" before opening fire on the poor git.
Wait, is the original your favourite bc "The Predator" ist the latest one with the autistic kid, not the Schwarzenegger movie which called simply "Predator". The "the" makes a huge difference, just like with both Suicide Squad movies.
Great job on the video Rebecca. So many iconic scenes but my personal favorite is Luke and Han dressed up in Stormtrooper costumes, A new hope turned me into the movie buff that I am today. May the force be with you all.
7:14 A subtle, overlooked detail. When Marty engaged to race to catch the lightning feed at 88 mph, the DeLorean STALED. It took him a few moments to get it to fire up. Implication: Doc's calculations were *barely* off and w/o that delay from from the stall, Marty would have contacted too early and still be stuck. Doc Brown is an incredible genius, but even he can be off by 15-20 seconds. Thank goodness the universe is more forgiving!
David giving the mothership a “cold” in Independence Day, or using satellite signals to figure out what the aliens were up to. Gotta love the ingenuity of video engineers.
I am quite sure in the movie Jurassic Park the little girl does not intentionally use the reflection to trick the raptor. she tries to hide in that cabinet and is unable to close the door because it’s stuck. fortunately for her the raptor is fooled and slams into her reflection on the table instead of finding her at the corner, which gives her time to escape
Yeah, Ripley gets to take all the credit she wants. Lady managed to survive so very much xenomorphic shenanigans on will and wits alone. And Mark Watney is one of my all-time fiction heroes.
Using the lightning bolt in BTTF should’ve been higher on the list. It literally saved Marty from having to live in the past until the world caught up, like Doc did in BTTF 3.
Star Trek II, Spock analyzing Khan’s ship to ship combat tactics and realizing, for all his genius and brilliance in combat, he thinks “two dimensionally”. Cue Kirk ordering a full stop and dropping the Enterprise down like a submarine. Far enough that Khan’s limited sensors can’t detect anything as they fly right over. Then coming back up behind Khan and thoroughly kicking his ass in such an awesome moment movie theaters full of Trekkers cheered their asses off! (At least according to my dad, I was like 2 years old when it came out.)

Would have loved to see included the scene of Andy Lau plugging in his digital life copy to the supercomputer just before he died in order to have his virtual self finish the task of rebooting the Shanghai Internet Centre, in Wandering Earth 2, beautiful movie
Very nice videos Rebeca 😊Robocop,hero makes sacrifice,using reflector to fool raptor,Ripley fights Allien Queen with power loader,Neo takes red pill,Terminator calls dog wrong name,very smart,Han and Luke use stormtrooper suits as disguises,Ripley opens airlock,Dutch applies mud to his body,very nice. Galen subtly sabotages Death Star laser. Very nice. Deserving number 1. Great video😀
Slight problem with the "Predator" one. The Mythbusters proved a thin layer of mud like that wouldn't work to fool heat cameras as the mud would very quickly become body temperature.
Very true. Especially since with out constant moisture but not enough to wash it off, mud dries very quickly and becomes dirt which crumbles away with every moment he'd make
4:31 Ripley only had to do that because she made the foolish decision to torch the egg pods while rescuing Newt. Doing so made the queen chase her. She didn't have to do that because the place was being nuked anyway. So, one of the smartest decisions was only because of one of the dumbest.
If there's a "Top N Most Badass Sci-Fi Movie Heroes" video, it's no contest. Ellen Ripley 1st, Spock a distant 2nd, and whoever's 3rd is a distant 3rd.
Also there is no conceivable way in a closed time-like loop where a destroyed version of you conveys memory engrams back to a undestroyed previous version of you in that time-like loop. But it does hearken to a time travel idea of mine. If asked, if you could travel back in time and change anything what would it be? My answer is at the beginning of time I would distribute invisible recording drones to collect all knowledge in the universe until the end of time. And then at the end of time compile all of that information into a single database. Then repeat. Cycle two. I access all of that information of all technology created in all of the universe and become more powerful. Cycle three. This is where things get crazy, impregnate the development of all technology in every species across the whole universe with tiny little advancements insights and knowledge that they shouldn't know yet. Accelerate the development of technology in all corners of the universe separately. Then recompile. Cycle four. Undo all changes. Let the universe's timeline resume its natural course. And use that technology to become a god.
That Looper sacrefice could backfire badly. if Timetravel would create a new timeline. he would just kill himself with no effect on the old Bruce Willis.
The correct number one is in “Aliens,” barely into the story - when the marines realize what they’ve wandered into, they plan to just live and nuke the place. Of course it doesn’t work out, but at least they had the right idea!
This has been tested. Trade secret, yes you will heat up the mud. No, that does not mean 2.7K of optics will see you. No I don't understand the science, but there are youtube videos that will break your mind. Oddly enough those silver thermal insulation blankets do EXACTLY what you predicted, heat up fast and show up. Remember folks, if being hunted by people with optics, slathering yourself with even a thin layer of mud does some weird stuff.
Fun fact: Dave actually didn't hold his breath. He (should have) expelled all the air from his lungs so they didn't burst when subjected to the instant vacuum of space
Idk where this is stated but Dutch outsmarting the predator like that basically made him famous in there society which may have had a part on him being spared by a female predator as stated in Dutches logs in predator hunting grounds Bit of a side note what do the predators think of ripely is it stated anywhere or do they not even know she existed
Sabotaging the Death Star wasn't a "smart decision", it was just the reason the movie was made... As if he knew that an X-wing would be able to send a bomb down the exhaust port. Ridiculous post-hoc rationality that simple people think is really clever.
Aliens is the best Sci-fi/Horror movie of all time. The Aliens first attack you through oral rape, then the Aliens come out through your stomach killing you.
Unfortunately the concept that you can commit suicide in your past and therefore delete a version of you that's traveled back to that past assumes that causality is a thing. causality is not a thing. That moment there where you see him blink out of existence would have converted all of the energy of his mass into a nuclear blast because energy cannot be destroyed. But also no.

Palpatine manipulating both sides of the Clone Wars helped make him one of the best villains of all time, a true wolf in sheep’s clothes.
I agree
Wrong. Star Wars is trash!
Like Zelenski manipulating both parties to rob the Americans of their money to supply Nazism
He's brilliant. Completely brilliant
Order 66
The name switching trick is one of several reasons why I love Terminator 2
The way Dutch adapts to fighting the Predator is one reason why The Predator is my favorite movie in the franchise
The first one is everyone’s favorite movie. have you actually met someone that’s like “no man I’m all in on Predator 2”
@@lakoncers13 nope. And I hope I never do
would mud really cover heat that much?
@@spookerredmenace3950 personally I think so. Mud is pretty thick, and if you put that much on you you could definitely camouflage yourself

The “terminator wrong dog name” was a code my family used. If we ever used a certain dead animals name… we knew it was code for “Help”
I'm definitely remembering that idea. I hope you and I never have to use it though.

Agree
Basically lucky 😀
Yes. Tim was brave and smart in this scene. Lex was lucky.
Yeah, Ripley gets to take all the credit she wants. Lady managed to survive so very much xenomorphic shenanigans on will and wits alone. And Mark Watney is one of my all-time fiction heroes.
Rogue One is definitely a necessary prequel film to the original trilogy.
The Thing - blood test
Using the lightning bolt in BTTF should’ve been higher on the list. It literally saved Marty from having to live in the past until the world caught up, like Doc did in BTTF 3.
Always remember “If it bleeds we can kill it”
The Thing
Too😂❤
The reflection in Jurassic Park looks like luck to me.

The Terminator 2 scene will always be my fav. So so simple and clever.

It's not just killing. Directive 4 prohibited Robocop from even arresting/containing them.
Sci fi is my favorite movie genre, so this video is perfect for me! Who else is?

I think in Minority Report when John Anderton pulled off his masterplan at the end was pure genius.
Aliens is a masterpiece
Powerlorder ❤

"It is not possible"
"No, it's necessary"
Amazing line
Slight problem with the "Predator" one. The Mythbusters proved a thin layer of mud like that wouldn't work to fool heat cameras as the mud would very quickly become body temperature.
Idk man, covering yourself with dirt to avoid heat detection might look smart but even as a kid I knew instantly it wouldn't work irl
Very true. Especially since with out constant moisture but not enough to wash it off, mud dries very quickly and becomes dirt which crumbles away with every moment he'd make
I would say releasing the T-Rex in JW would have been Top-10 but oh well. That was a brilliant and gutsy move.
which is immediately canceled out by running away from it in high heels-enter lots of luck:(
Great vid!!! Love SCI-FI!
The Blob - Using Fire Extinguishers to keep it away.
Love it when people use their brains on these

Smart decisions are the ones that can help us in real life. About rogue one, i still remember the day when i heard about the squad in a new hope.
Number 8 and 3 absolutely
Could you imagine the media buzz irl if the story of matt damons the martian was a thing. Mans would be known by anyone on any social media platform.

All hail Ellen Ripley!
Starship Troopers - Capturing a Brain Bug to learn the Enemy Bugs secrets.
That doesn't work out in the long term
It’s afraid!
Id flip number 1 and 2 but still solid list
No:13- Those aren't raptors tho....
Pretty much everything the little alien Calvin did in the movie 'Life' was clever.
Lex's escape in jurassic park was not planned just a lucky accident. Tim's was planned even if it was a spur of the moment plan.
That Looper sacrefice could backfire badly. if Timetravel would create a new timeline. he would just kill himself with no effect on the old Bruce Willis.
1. Predator
2. Robocop
3. Jurassic Park
4. Aliens
Let them Fight 🎉
How about Godzilla giving the female MUTO the kiss of death knowing his atomic blast didn’t work prior?
not telling Ender it wasnt a game-brillant but totally a D@$K move
11:14 Give credit to the fellas from The Wizard of Oz for that one.
The correct number one is in “Aliens,” barely into the story - when the marines realize what they’ve wandered into, they plan to just live and nuke the place. Of course it doesn’t work out, but at least they had the right idea!
The Predator movie is the odd one out as using the mud would not have camouflaged Dutch as depicted.
I think one of the smartest decisions has to be when sam pushed the AllSpark cube into Megatron in Transformers instead of Optimus Prime.
Agreed on #1.
In the preditor movie
Coating with mud would do nothing as the mud would heat up as soon as applied
This has been tested. Trade secret, yes you will heat up the mud. No, that does not mean 2.7K of optics will see you.

Also in back to the future part 3 Marty wearing an oven door for a bulletproof vest and tricks Buford into thinking he killed him
Fun fact:
Dave actually didn't hold his breath. He (should have) expelled all the air from his lungs so they didn't burst when subjected to the instant vacuum of space
I have no idea how he put that off before T-1000 find out he fell for that trap.

Why is Star Wars in a video about science-fiction movies?
The number 1 is the best

Sabotaging the Death Star wasn't a "smart decision", it was just the reason the movie was made... As if he knew that an X-wing would be able to send a bomb down the exhaust port. Ridiculous post-hoc rationality that simple people think is really clever.

Unfortunately the concept that you can commit suicide in your past and therefore delete a version of you that's traveled back to that past assumes that causality is a thing. causality is not a thing. That moment there where you see him blink out of existence would have converted all of the energy of his mass into a nuclear blast because energy cannot be destroyed. But also no.
But if he never existed then his existence would not have been there to be converted to a nuclear blast.

Dislike for censoring the word 'bitch', which is stupid as its not just a slang term, its the name for a female dog. Stop being so damn sensitive.
Only problem is that it is too long.

Rogue One is the best movie outside the Original Trilogy. It is the only worthy one.
