There is only a handful of movies I never get tired watching no matter how many times I've seen it. Predator is one of them. They don't make em like this anymore.
They should remake this movie but go back when they sent Jim Hopper and his crew. Jim Hopper is still alive and understands how the predator moves and tracing the predators footsteps and trying to catch up with Dutches Crew. There could be two or three of these predators around the jungle and Arnold only has killed one.
The actors did a fantastic job in this film even Arnold, who is known for being restricted with his acting skills but he knocks it out of the park in this and the terminator films!
@@amuroray9115 because Billy understands that nothing in the jungle can do what the Predator had done to Hopper's team as well as his........he can clearly sense the danger in the situation
They fight and bleed together ..... They must believe each other without any hesitation...... If you served at army ..... You will know what I am talking about ......
Don't forget the interaction between Dillon and Mac. To Mac and the other men, Dillon is the outsider, the fifth wheel who command has ordered them to lug around even if he's an accomplished soldier in his own right and he's second in command only to Dutch. There are several scenes where the men demonstrate that they don't think very highly of Dillon at all. Mac tells Dillon he'll gut him if he gives away their position. But in this scene the veneer drops. They refer to each other by rank and they're all brutally honest with how confused and scared they are. And of course at the end, Dillon goes to get Mac
Predator shouldn’t be as great as it is, but they did everything right on this film. It’s perfect. The writing, the special effects, the directing, the score, the story, the characters, casting, the planets aligned for this one.
I Still Think it was wrong to give too much glimpses of the predator in the middle, 1. when it treats its injuries (you shouldn't see its face) 2. When they "fail" the trap.
i used to love playing in the woods when i was a kid, then when i was about 10 years old watched this with my uncle and never played in the woods again LOL
Well maybe I'd of at least given Billy a shot to see him at least fighting the predator even just for a sweet minute. But I understand that they wanted that to be saved for the final showdown.
“Bullshit! You ain’t afraid of no man!” The amount of tremble in his voice, you can tell how frightened he is that Billy is vocally admitting he is in fact scared, for what would be the first time in their many battles. The actor who played Poncho is great at describing all that through adding a great tremble, perhaps on the verge of bursting to tears.
Take note that Billy is a seasoned combat special forces soldier; when asked the question the FIRST THING that comes out of his mouth is "im scared.." Billy senses something not like anything he has ever encountered and it really has him spooked; keep in mind he is around a group of muscle, macho, alpha men and he says he is scared....that is a level of confidence and surety you don't see too often.
@@gatack75 While the 'Native American in tuned with nature' - thing IS a bit of a cliche. It still totally worked here. I always loved the fact that his 'I'm being watched' instinct wasn't like a magic light switch. He either couldn't sense the Predator, or couldn't pay attention to his insticts at first, because he was so focused on getting to the camp & then the battle. Once it was over, and he 'broadened' his attention, he started noticing a presence. (one that he could not see) And that 'unnerved' feeling got stronger & stronger, until we get to this scene, where he outright admits his terror. Pure gold, in a movie with excellent build up.
@@sharkdentures3247 His role description in Predator was actually "scout and tracker", so even if he wasn't a Native American, this still would've shown the skill level on which those commandos are operating. I mean, it's clear why they chose a Native American for that role, cause most people automatically associate them with tracking and hunting, so it was quiet credible that Billy did this stuff since he was a child and therefore was able to sense an invisible enemy stalking them. To me, this scene here was one, if not the best of the whole movie. At first you see Mac, completely lost in thought, not only because he lost his best friend Blain, but also because of his encounter with the Predator. He is not sure of what he has seen there, he only knows that he is dealing with something that is actually impossible to his understanding and experience. Then you have Poncho, the fear in his voice was outstanding after interrogating their captive. It gets even better when he asks Billy. You instantly know that Poncho is not predominantly asking him to get information about the enemy, but rather because he expected a less dramatic response from him in order to calm himself down a little bit. This nervous half stuttered, half laughed "Bullshit", that came out of his mouth after Billy told him that he's scared, man, what a piece of art. This only highlights Billy's character even more, his honest assessment of the situation had a devestating effect on the group's morale. You can also see the trust Dutch puts in his group. To him, there's no doubt that what Mac and Billy told the others is a fact. He doesn't waste a second on thinking if Mac is just traumatized by Blain's death, no, he takes it for granted that there's something invisible stalking the jungle out there, capable of taking down his seasoned soldiers and surviving the barrage of a minigun. It's small details like this that 2010's Predators was missing, that's why it's just a step in the right direction rather than something comparable to the first Predator movie.
@@alexandervladimirov9874 the fall to the waterfall saved Arnold. He was lucky lol. But theres tons of waterfalls in the jungle so one can say luck didnt play a part
There’s something about this particular movie that’s so incredibly captivating. Even 30+ years later. The pacing, the music, the acting, the mystery/suspense of it all. This was pure gold that almost didn’t happen.
Expert writing & proper pacing is definitely something that is lost in new movies. Hell the newest movie “prey” felt like a high production fan film rather than a full blown studio experience.
That's cause back then groups of people tried to actually make a good movie. Today they just go franchise, popular actors, and CGI and music ok we don't need anything else just throw lots of jokes and funny scenes in and blow stuff up and have things get punched and trickle in some stupid Easter eggs and boom movie.
@@Aaron_Heininger which is really sad because the trajectory of movies leading up to this and past it was just going straight up in terms of quality to see the film industry crash and burn so hard is infuriating and it’s all self inflicted
I always loved how Arnold never made the slightest effort to lose his thick accent when he got into movies. It's like some dude just stepped off the boat from Austria and now he's in the US military.
Countries in NATO can switch between countries services. I know a few guys from the U.S. go to the Canadian Army, and I from Polish Army went to the U.S. Army. It takes time, and need approval but it is a thing.
@tone loc Clean background, passport, usually an NCO or higher, be able to pass a countries basic laws (test), The countries willing to transfer troops over. If you aren't an officer you will start back over as a pvt usually, unless you are a higher ranking NCO. Officers usually start over as well - depends on the MOS they are wanting to transfer to. Ittakes awhile because the countries and paperwork have to be in order, and willing to accept it. Once you complete for example an 8 year contract with the U.S. Army, you can get citizenship. While you are in service, you can also apply for citizenship if you do not wish to wait that long. Also, while on duty you can reap the rewards of a citizen while in service.
@@calrissianlando7792 When it comes to SF a Major is lower on the totem pole than you think. It's pretty much an equivalent to a Company Commander in most cases, or a higher tier small unit within that organization. They expect much more from their officers, and NCOS in that area. E5 SGTs are just privates - not treated that way, but are similar in structure compared to regular units.
This is incredible. All their reactions are so well acted. Dillon is in denial, Poncho is hysterical. The girl is depressed. Mack is bewildered. Billy is coming to terms with his mortality. And Dutch is trying to lean as much about his enemy as possible. They are all very scared & it shows on screen.
One thing that I just noticed after a million times watching this movie, did you notice that the 1st time seeing or hearing the Predator wasn't when Hawkins was killed? And I'm not talking about the views thru the Predator's heat vision. You hear the Predator , when Billy is about to discover the bodies of Jim Harper's crew hanging upside down, when he pushes thru the trees
Mack knew the second he saw it that it wasn't human. His eyes give him away in this scene. He was scared shitless knowing and not knowing what was waiting for them. Brilliant acting.
And Dillion is the CIA Operative who's supposed to be open minded lol. He's probably seen plenty of Classified information on weird unexplained stuff like this.
@@kumarcollins585 nah he’s a pencil pusher. He needed to complete this mission successfully to level up. They probably knew the Predator was out there.
This movie has a brilliant combination of everything; Backyard music, actors, story line, gunfire, Predator himself, intensity of action. It has got it all.
Thankfully, the Predator wasn't played by Mr. Van Damme /who was supposed to play the creature at the beginning of the filming process/, but by Mr. Kevin Peter Hall who stood around 2.18 meters height and gave the Predator that gigantic look.
This really is the greatest action film ever made. I’ve watched it 100 times easy. The buildup. The plot. The suspense. No cgi of today can hold a candle to the talent this cast put together.
How serious he saz it. And in that VOICE of his. Then walks off. . That whole scene always cracked me up. Lmao BAWHAHAHA fuckin funny. God i love this movie.
I love how mac says "Nothing on this planet could've survived that not at that range" one of my favourite lines in the whole movie basically insinuating that even if it was fast enough to get away it would've succumbed to the wounds from the bullets and yet nothing absolutely nothing
1:07 I know one thing, Major. I drew down and fired straight at it. Capped off 200 rounds then the Minigun, full pack. Nothing, nothing on this Earth could have lived. Not at that range.
Props to Richard Chaves acting and just ratcheting up the tension. Such a small scene but the way his voice cracks- “Bullshit, you ain’t afraid of no man..” was simply brilliant acting. Billy gets a lot of props for being the “toughest” guy in the squad but the fact is all of Dutch’s team are certified bad ass, probably Delta or former Delta. Poncho was a legit pipe-hitter.
@@ThatDoesntWorkForMeBrother i am living in Austira, being a tank-operator, driver, whatnot...means absolutely nothing here hahaha. Our military is a joke.
Billy acknowledged his fear and yet stood his ground to fight hand-to-hand against the invisible enemy knowing he had the fight lost to begin with. Brave as fuck.
That's how us Indians are, we're very brave but at this moment, Billy knew he wasn't gonna win this battle against something he never fought. We're also spiritual people, and Billy already knew before he saw the predator that he wasn't gonna win the fight.
Alan Silvestri's musical score perfectly sets the atmosphere of the movie. It takes you from a relaxing midnight calm to an all-out battle for life or death. A true masterpiece!
On the service this is nothing more than a shoot em up but damn it’s put together so well. The only other movie I can think of that conveyed tension so well was the cartel leader extraction scene in Secario.
I remember going to a family reunion trip when I was 9 or 10 years old, the reunion took place on a huge houseboat on a lake that my grandfather had rented for the reunion. At the time I was really shy and didn’t feel like swimming with the rest of the family so I stayed in the living room of the house boat and went through the VHS tapes for something to watch while I ate a sub sandwich. Predator was one of those tapes, and I had seen it only once before, so I popped it into the VHS player and started watching it while sipping my juice and chowing down on my sandwich. Half an hour later, the entire family had wandered in for a snack or a drink and we were all glued to the tv, many of them watching Predator for the first time. I remember everyone just in awe at the thrill of the characters being hunted and no one knowing what to expect until the Predator was revealed and everyone was like “OH!!!!” It was an awesome evening, and after the film ended, we talked about how we could fight the Predator if one of them came after us.
@@teletubbypo318 Different genres, different stories. It's like trying to compare Aliens with Finding Nemo. Does not make any fucking sense now does it?
The best part of this scene is when Poncho asks Billy: “You know something, what is it ?” As he relizes Billy is the only Native American among the squad who may know better the deep secrets of this land when everybody else has no clue of what’s going on. And the scariest part when Billy did really know better and answers: “I’m scared”, which is a straightforward answer. The psychology of this movie is so powerful.
“The deep secrets of the land” are you fucking kidding me Please explain to me in a way that isn’t racist as shit what a cherokee/seminole would know about the tropical rainforest in Central America without resorting to some tiny-brained horseshit about indigenous americans having a Mystical Connection to The Land Sincerely, a mohegan that’s really really sick of people assuming I have some deep spiritual knowledge of The Earth because I’m indigenous
One movie I can never get tired of watching. It's about as perfect as you can get in every way. This is one of my favourite scenes, particularly the way Billy solemnly and quietly says "I'm scared Poncho" and Poncho's immediate defiant response: "Bullsh!t, you ain't afraid of no man!" Billy was probably the toughest of the crew and this really added to the sense of dread and impending doom. They were fighting a losing battle against an enemy they couldn't fathom.
@@artistryartistry7239 Predator 2 was decent, though certainly not near the equal of the original the way I've seen some its more diehard fans suggest. Predators also seems to be a bit overrated by some and was mediocre to me (and I just don't like Adrien Brody's fake tough guy act/voice). And "The Predator" is an abomination of filmmaking that deserves to be wiped from existence. On a side note (since these aren't strictly Predator movies), I thought AVP was decent and gets too much hate for what it was. Requiem was complete garbage, though.
@@megavolt67 Everything after the first was a "product" rather than a passion project like the first. They did the first one because they really wanted to make that movie. All the rest were made because they wanted to make money, the passion and the creative inspiration was gone.
This scene right here never fails to give me chills, the communication between them all, they feel like real professional soldiers. They're all scared and you may think the one shitting the most bricks in this scene was Poncho because he comes off a bit hysterical but to me its actually Dillon who is the biggest sceptic of the group, throwing questions left and right about what they're up against and then shooting down their responses. When Billy says "we're all gonna die" Dillon immediately casts doubt instead of taking time to process what he just heard... "He's losing it, the man's losing his cool" and putting it all down to JUST a couple of guys running round the Jungle fucking with them, vocally in denial but deep down part of him knows Billy is right. Billy spoke his mind and excepted his fate with the calmest coolest demeanor possible, that's why he faces The Predator head on on that log bridge later on, he didn't want to die running in fear, he wanted to go down fighting with dignity, his way. Just a total badass character and I'd like to think he got a few good licks in against The Predator before it got him... RIP Sonny 💪
Hence, the Predator not only takes his skull, but he in fact takes his spine along with the skull. Something I took note of watching Predator 2. If the fight was easy or okay, the Predator would skin the prey. If the prey gave a good fight, but still went down relatively easy he took a skull. Finally, if the prey went all out and the Predator considered the fight to be good or honorable he took a skull and spine with it. Billy must have had a great fight to have his spine and skull ripped out and polished.
When I was a kid I was ashamed to recognize that I loved this movie. I thought it was just a generic action film, I considered it a guilty pleasure and never understood why I liked it so much and why I thought it was a very good movie. Now that I know a lot more about cinema, I can honestly say that I was wrong. It’s even better than I thought. It’s a masterpiece in direction, casting, scriptwriting, cinematography, soundtrack, a masterclass in how to build tension, and simply one of the best action films of the decade, and one of the best films of all time. This movie just checks all the boxes and will be watched and studied for decades. It is, alongside Terminator 2, Matrix and Die Hard, the best action film of all time imo.
@@GM_- Agreed. Another masterpiece from Cameron, I love that movie. The action, the suspense, the perfect cast, the direction, top notch cinematography, excellent soundtrack by James Horner (RIP), great FX, and as iconic a film can get. And most importantly, you cared about the characters, you were worried af the entire film (Hudson and Vasquez deaths still hurt). And the xenomorphs are just the cherry on the top. Agreed, one of the greatest action films of all time. It doesn’t get much better than that.
@@vksasdgaming9472 Kinda like Jaws, almost an horror film disguised as a family friendly adventure blockbuster 😆 Almost lost my sh*t when I first watched it when I was a kid, I thought I was going to watch fishes and stuff and first thing I see is a helpless girl getting killed by an unknown force and then a bloody human leg at the bottom of the sea. Wasn’t expecting any of that tbh (but was clearly welcomed). Kinda same vibe with Predator (more horror than action. Or a perfect blend of both). One of a kind movie.
All with minimal dialogue. There are long stretches in this film where no dialogue is even necessary to know what’s happening. I think that’s what helps make it so immersive
"I'll tell ya one thing major, I drew down and fired straight at it, capped off 200 rounds in the mini gun, full pack. Nothing. Nothing on this Earth could've lived, not at that range" That simple line literally sums up the power that Predator has.
That was the best 30 seconds of the movie from Sonny Landham (RIP). "There is something out there waiting for us, and it ain't no man. We're all gonna die."
I love the respect Poncho has for Billy asking him cause he knows he isn't afraid of things and looking for his Guidance only to be semi shocked when he says he is afraid.
Most natives either North or Central o South América know very well their own landscapes and country sides.. I met many of them and they can survive inside with no supplies.. even my grand father learned that because he used to live close to the natives. He got a farm near to a little village of natives
Billy fears no man, no animal. But what he senses is not from Earth. He couldn't adapt like Dutch probably because his beliefs made him think it was a demon rather than another mortal biological organism.
I love this movie so much that I purchased it in VHS, DVD, Bluray, 4K Bluray, and now IP stream, and I still enjoy it so much. The plot, the acting, the score, the direction, everything is perfect!
Let's not forget about Anna too: She grew up about hearing story's about her men being killed not by their enemies but by something.Then She actually witnessed it, take place in front of her eyes. Then when asked the same question,she repeated the same answer. She Grew up in war And she knew what she saw was not human warfare.
I was just a kid when I saw this movie man and when @ 1:53 his look when he says "Billy" and then the lines by both characters that followed that shit sent CHILLS down my back and goosebumps. I don't think I could blink i was so enthralled.
Then they gave Shane Black a go at making a Predator movie and all he did was turn every character into Hawkins. Made Predator into Jay and Silent Bob movie.
The yellow eye- glow from the Predator's mask is designed to freak out and attract the attention of its prey while its camo field is on. Psychological warfare in a way. . . How else could you try and describe what Mac just saw?
It really has great suspense and horror as we could see that even a group of tough guys on a high protein diets are afraid. While other horror movies only feature a group of lost college students or kids.
The Predator had to be the ultimate bad ass because these guys were. It would not be believable at all how one life could wipe out this whole group of elite soldiers.
I’ll never forget that moment in the cinema when you saw the predators hand pick up the dead scorpion 🦂. Was like “ holy shit this just got serious “ All time great.
The fear of unknown gradually mounts in us while watching this great movie! Almost all of us would've seen this cult classic sci-fi thriller. The director, musician, Arnie and locations...all are perfect! Such one-liners are worth revisiting! Good old days...
Ifit was Oddball from Kelly's Heroes, it would be the CIA putting acid trips in his field rations lol Hey man, the jungle kinda came alive n took him I guess. . .
This movie was a masterpiece. All, its parts,...action, scenarios, script creativity, the predator, etc.etc. Tension and tension that never stopped with peaks of Himalayas altitude. The jungle as background is the big secret. But as a perfect salad, on perfect balance of moments and ingredients. Again...a masterpiece that I watched many, many times.
I think John Mctierrnan did a great job creating suspense in this film, this scene alone is scary when Billy says "It ain't no man" that gives me chills and the fact he knows there all going to die, that hopelessness and fighting something that is superior to you, great film!
Same here, God I love this movie it's a master piece but unfortunately after this one comes the massacre of the franchise including the last one it's Shame
Bone chilling scene, when Mack says nothing on earth could have lived at that range, and Sonny realizes the gravitas of the situation. So much power in a scene from an action movie. You don't see that anymore sadly.
I think sometimes you have to be scared or defeated to know exactly what your dealing with. This scene right here which is the core of the movie made them realize that. Yes, this is bone chilling to the core.
Quietly, this fav scene of ours is preceded by arguably the best subtle scene of cultural significance in film. The build up to it with Billy sensing it more and more. Then Ana talking about how her people grew up talking about this type of creature. This all led to the bone-chilling scream from the Predator, then it shows Ana and Billy are the only ones in the group to react to it. It shows Ana in the foreground first looking terrified, then instinctively and urgently she turns to Billy in the background, then when it shows him he has that same dialed in but spooked look on his face, but didn’t even glance at her. While the rest of the industrialized company weren’t even aware of what just happened. That subtle scene is the best cultural critique/comparative assessment of 1st World citizens living industrialized versus 1st Nation peoples living in ecological and energetic alignment with Nature. I heard the director was highlighting American overkill with our violence conditioning in the first contact scene. Not only do I wonder wildly how he would summarize the importance of this shot, but also, I wonder how it reads in the script. Brilliant.
The Hopper idea is very good. Or Show us Dutch now. All you need is Arnold and maybe the woman. Make it current times and put them with a new unit thats hunting a Predator. Kind of as advisors, like Ripley in Aliens, and they end up fighting it.
"Billy! You know something, what is it?" Man, the look on Poncho's face at 2:18 pretty much sums up the intense fear of the reality that they are really starting to realise they are in. Very disturbing, seemingly unexplainable things going on, and their incredible vulnerability is really now apparent. Fighting against a superior unknown thing, very precarious situation to be in. It's hard enough and terrifying enough as it is fighting what you know, nevermind what you don't know.
A couple things made this untouchable compared to the sequels and remakes. 1. McTiernan's direction. 2. The musical score. 3. Each character felt fleshed out in the limited time they have on screen. 4. It represented people of colour very well, as they were strong, formidable and had insight unlike the others. (Billy is my dude RIP) 5. It came out at the right time, at the height of the American incursion into 1980s South America. The movie is really a microcosm of American drug czarism of the 1980s.
Movie fact: Jesse Ventura and Richard Chaves were actually Vietnam Vets. This movie still kicks asses even without CGI stuff and overacted characters of nowadays.
Especially without CGI stuff. That assault on the compound had real explosions, people on fire, squibs exploding. The stunt team who worked on the A-Team did that, and crammed a whole movie’s action into that scene cos the remainder of the film turns into a slasher, horror sci-fi
Seen this movie just yesterday and im still watching my favorite parts here in youtube....been watching this many times since my childhood. this movie is from 1987 but it doesn't get old. great actors great biceps, great triceps. great abs, great guns, great poncho!
Oh my god! I watched this when I was like 7 or 8. My elder cousins convinced me that the predator is real and could be right outside my room, on the tree. This scared the crap out of me and even to this day, I cannot watch this movie alone. !!! What a great movie!
The real badass in this group is actor Richard Chaves, an Army Vietnam veteran. I like the touch of how his character first asks approval from his team leader Dutch with a simple look, who in turn gives a nod before asking the civilian woman questions. Also when Mac yells "Contact!!!" leveling the jungle with the minigun the entire team fires in the same direction without question or doubt showing how much they trust each other as an elite unit should.
This movie may be the best movie of all time... along with maybe Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back. It's close, but I think this one is the BEST, period.
The way this movie progresses from action to sci-fi horror is just unbelievably brilliant
Subversion done right!👍
Dog soldiers is like that
What made this movie good was the use of the infrared camera,moving from action to sci-fi wouldn't have been as good without it.
Puts Aliens to shame.

There is only a handful of movies I never get tired watching no matter how many times I've seen it. Predator is one of them. They don't make em like this anymore.

They should remake this movie but go back when they sent Jim Hopper and his crew. Jim Hopper is still alive and understands how the predator moves and tracing the predators footsteps and trying to catch up with Dutches Crew. There could be two or three of these predators around the jungle and Arnold only has killed one.
Ain't that the truth.

What I love so much about these scene is that Dutch doesn't question his men at all. He believes what his men are saying. No questions asked.
Presumably they’ve already been in intense combat situations, have served together
“General, my team always works alone, you know that….”
They fight and bleed together ..... They must believe each other without any hesitation...... If you served at army ..... You will know what I am talking about ......

Predator shouldn’t be as great as it is, but they did everything right on this film. It’s perfect. The writing, the special effects, the directing, the score, the story, the characters, casting, the planets aligned for this one.
Perfect is the word...everything lined up...so good.
That`s the heart of a cool director like John McTiernan. But his greatest film he made is Die Hard.
Also my favorite movie of all time.

I always loved the fact that his 'I'm being watched' instinct wasn't like a magic light switch. He either couldn't sense the Predator, or couldn't pay attention to his insticts at first, because he was so focused on getting to the camp & then the battle.
Once it was over, and he 'broadened' his attention, he started noticing a presence. (one that he could not see) And that 'unnerved' feeling got stronger & stronger, until we get to this scene, where he outright admits his terror.
Pure gold, in a movie with excellent build up.
@@sharkdentures3247 man i agree with you 100% , fuck they dont make em like they used to
@@sharkdentures3247 His role description in Predator was actually "scout and tracker", so even if he wasn't a Native American, this still would've shown the skill level on which those commandos are operating. I mean, it's clear why they chose a Native American for that role, cause most people automatically associate them with tracking and hunting, so it was quiet credible that Billy did this stuff since he was a child and therefore was able to sense an invisible enemy stalking them.
To me, this scene here was one, if not the best of the whole movie. At first you see Mac, completely lost in thought, not only because he lost his best friend Blain, but also because of his encounter with the Predator. He is not sure of what he has seen there, he only knows that he is dealing with something that is actually impossible to his understanding and experience. Then you have Poncho, the fear in his voice was outstanding after interrogating their captive. It gets even better when he asks Billy. You instantly know that Poncho is not predominantly asking him to get information about the enemy, but rather because he expected a less dramatic response from him in order to calm himself down a little bit. This nervous half stuttered, half laughed "Bullshit", that came out of his mouth after Billy told him that he's scared, man, what a piece of art. This only highlights Billy's character even more, his honest assessment of the situation had a devestating effect on the group's morale. You can also see the trust Dutch puts in his group. To him, there's no doubt that what Mac and Billy told the others is a fact. He doesn't waste a second on thinking if Mac is just traumatized by Blain's death, no, he takes it for granted that there's something invisible stalking the jungle out there, capable of taking down his seasoned soldiers and surviving the barrage of a minigun.
It's small details like this that 2010's Predators was missing, that's why it's just a step in the right direction rather than something comparable to the first Predator movie.
RIP Carl Weathers .......never forget that HIS MEN were on that choppa !
They we expendable assets. It came with the job. Can you accept that?
@callmepistol "My men are not expendable, and I don't do this kind of work."

When the toughest guy in your crew says "We're all gonna die." you know you're doomed. ☹️
the most bone chilling line in the movie.
My favorite movie since day 1.
Billy ain’t afraid of no man
And they were, but Arnold got lucky, because he had time to react and prepare himself for the creature. The rest of his team didn't have that chance.
@@alexandervladimirov9874 the fall to the waterfall saved Arnold. He was lucky lol. But theres tons of waterfalls in the jungle so one can say luck didnt play a part
There’s something about this particular movie that’s so incredibly captivating. Even 30+ years later. The pacing, the music, the acting, the mystery/suspense of it all. This was pure gold that almost didn’t happen.
Expert writing & proper pacing is definitely something that is lost in new movies. Hell the newest movie “prey” felt like a high production fan film rather than a full blown studio experience.
Probably my favorite movie of all time
That's cause back then groups of people tried to actually make a good movie. Today they just go franchise, popular actors, and CGI and music ok we don't need anything else just throw lots of jokes and funny scenes in and blow stuff up and have things get punched and trickle in some stupid Easter eggs and boom movie.
I’ve rewatch it countless time lastly
@@Aaron_Heininger which is really sad because the trajectory of movies leading up to this and past it was just going straight up in terms of quality to see the film industry crash and burn so hard is infuriating and it’s all self inflicted
The way Billy gets up and calmly says “we’re all gonna die” majorly underrated scene.
Just matter of fact! Like just accept your fate!!!
They showed this on Jay Leno when it came out instantly made you wanna see the movie
The Billy showed true Soul!
It's not underrated at all mate. Every Pred fan can quote this scene
@@macklee6837Don't try to fight the 'underrated' mob. They're unstoppable
I always loved how Arnold never made the slightest effort to lose his thick accent when he got into movies. It's like some dude just stepped off the boat from Austria and now he's in the US military.
and they weakly covered that issue by calling him 'Dutch', yep that explains it all!
Countries in NATO can switch between countries services. I know a few guys from the U.S. go to the Canadian Army, and I from Polish Army went to the U.S. Army.
It takes time, and need approval but it is a thing.
@@VengefulMaverick and he was a major, a freaking major. He might'a not wanted to go colonel.
@tone loc Clean background, passport, usually an NCO or higher, be able to pass a countries basic laws (test), The countries willing to transfer troops over. If you aren't an officer you will start back over as a pvt usually, unless you are a higher ranking NCO. Officers usually start over as well - depends on the MOS they are wanting to transfer to. Ittakes awhile because the countries and paperwork have to be in order, and willing to accept it. Once you complete for example an 8 year contract with the U.S. Army, you can get citizenship. While you are in service, you can also apply for citizenship if you do not wish to wait that long. Also, while on duty you can reap the rewards of a citizen while in service.
@@calrissianlando7792 When it comes to SF a Major is lower on the totem pole than you think. It's pretty much an equivalent to a Company Commander in most cases, or a higher tier small unit within that organization. They expect much more from their officers, and NCOS in that area. E5 SGTs are just privates - not treated that way, but are similar in structure compared to regular units.
This is incredible. All their reactions are so well acted.
Dillon is in denial, Poncho is hysterical. The girl is depressed. Mack is bewildered. Billy is coming to terms with his mortality. And Dutch is trying to lean as much about his enemy as possible.
They are all very scared & it shows on screen.
Poncho wasn't hysterical he was confused and the girl was just as bewildered as Billy
Poncho hysterical lol 😂
@@necaman8787 stop the cap 🧢 poncho was hysterical just look at him 😂😂
what i also like is which is missed in this clip is that anna and billy herd the predator scream and everyone else missed it.
well said. bravo
After three decades of watching Predator countless times. I still never get tired of watching it!
Me too, lol
One thing that I just noticed after a million times watching this movie, did you notice that the 1st time seeing or hearing the Predator wasn't when Hawkins was killed? And I'm not talking about the views thru the Predator's heat vision. You hear the Predator , when Billy is about to discover the bodies of Jim Harper's crew hanging upside down, when he pushes thru the trees
Same. Predator and Robocop are burned in my brain. I can recite every line.
Highest watch ability factor of any movie
I must have watched it hundreds of times in those 3 decades.
Mack knew the second he saw it that it wasn't human. His eyes give him away in this scene. He was scared shitless knowing and not knowing what was waiting for them. Brilliant acting.
GC by actor Bill Duke. A brilliant performance like u said.
We all love Arnold, Jesse Ventura, even Carl Weathers but Sonny Landham was one the best casting choices of this movie R.I.P Billy/Sonny

Bullshit you ain't afraid of no man !!
"Bullshit. You ain't afraid of no man!"
Poncho couldn’t believe it
“There’s something out there waiting for us, and it ain’t no man……we’re all gonna die!”
This movie has a brilliant combination of everything; Backyard music, actors, story line, gunfire, Predator himself, intensity of action. It has got it all.
Thankfully, the Predator wasn't played by Mr. Van Damme /who was supposed to play the creature at the beginning of the filming process/, but by Mr. Kevin Peter Hall who stood around 2.18 meters height and gave the Predator that gigantic look.

When you hear the scariest and quietest man say “I’m scared” really makes you freak out 😂

The only time I’ve heard this in a movie and it literally made sense and hit you hard.
Not something you wanna hear in that situation. A real buzz kill
How serious he saz it. And in that VOICE of his. Then walks off. . That whole scene always cracked me up.
Lmao BAWHAHAHA fuckin funny.
God i love this movie.

I hate how I read this in Ned's voice from spiderman
You're losing your cool
Schwarzenegger, Duke, Landham, Weathers... what a cast. What a movie.
Jessie Ventura
I love how mac says "Nothing on this planet could've survived that not at that range" one of my favourite lines in the whole movie basically insinuating that even if it was fast enough to get away it would've succumbed to the wounds from the bullets and yet nothing absolutely nothing
1:07
I know one thing, Major. I drew down and fired straight at it. Capped off 200 rounds then the Minigun, full pack.
Nothing, nothing on this Earth could have lived. Not at that range.
He looked so fn scared when he said that.
Capped off 200 rounds from his primary weapon (M60E3), then the Minigun (G.E. M-134) which was carrying upwards of 4,000 rounds.
D V that line is so fucking! Sick!
@Aaron Neville Ironic, since his first shots are the ones that drew blood.
Capped off 200 rounds then the mini gun. Mac's M60 had a 200 round ammo coupler
Best action movie ever. Fact.
Action/ horror.
Terminator 2 has entered the chat
agreed 100 percent
Yes
Die hard and Terminator 2 are another of the best action movies ever
The whole cast of this movie was perfect. Legendary performances.
Props to Richard Chaves acting and just ratcheting up the tension. Such a small scene but the way his voice cracks- “Bullshit, you ain’t afraid of no man..” was simply brilliant acting. Billy gets a lot of props for being the “toughest” guy in the squad but the fact is all of Dutch’s team are certified bad ass, probably Delta or former Delta. Poncho was a legit pipe-hitter.
Same with Jesse Ventura. Navy Seals. Ponco in real life was an Army Vet. Stellar stuff
@@leonardobraynen1524 Arnold was a tanker for the Austrian Army and Sonny Landham (the actor who played Billy) was in the Army for three years.
Not only his voice but the look on his eye's , this was probably the first time this team faced something this big
@@ThatDoesntWorkForMeBrother i am living in Austira, being a tank-operator, driver, whatnot...means absolutely nothing here hahaha.
Our military is a joke.
Some acting, but mostly I believe drawn from experience. Chaves is a vet
Billy acknowledged his fear and yet stood his ground to fight hand-to-hand against the invisible enemy knowing he had the fight lost to begin with. Brave as fuck.
Man went out like a warrior
That's the gig
@@ellissmith2909 thats why Billy earned my respect out of all of them. Even when Arnold won i think Billy won too!
@@leonardobraynen1524 maybe… if it weren’t for that bitch scream
That's how us Indians are, we're very brave but at this moment, Billy knew he wasn't gonna win this battle against something he never fought. We're also spiritual people, and Billy already knew before he saw the predator that he wasn't gonna win the fight.
Alan Silvestri's musical score perfectly sets the atmosphere of the movie. It takes you from a relaxing midnight calm to an all-out battle for life or death. A true masterpiece!
Its my story and speeching also the music i invent with the mouth
@@Harry-bj5jq What???
yes
Best score ever written for an action movie.
The moment where Billy says "I'm scared Poncho", then the music changes, is one of my favorite movie moments in the history of cinema...
The music, and the suspense paired together is so good
For years I thought that branch was an extension to ponchos gun lol..
And the jungle too
On the service this is nothing more than a shoot em up but damn it’s put together so well. The only other movie I can think of that conveyed tension so well was the cartel leader extraction scene in Secario.
So good
I remember going to a family reunion trip when I was 9 or 10 years old, the reunion took place on a huge houseboat on a lake that my grandfather had rented for the reunion. At the time I was really shy and didn’t feel like swimming with the rest of the family so I stayed in the living room of the house boat and went through the VHS tapes for something to watch while I ate a sub sandwich. Predator was one of those tapes, and I had seen it only once before, so I popped it into the VHS player and started watching it while sipping my juice and chowing down on my sandwich. Half an hour later, the entire family had wandered in for a snack or a drink and we were all glued to the tv, many of them watching Predator for the first time. I remember everyone just in awe at the thrill of the characters being hunted and no one knowing what to expect until the Predator was revealed and everyone was like “OH!!!!” It was an awesome evening, and after the film ended, we talked about how we could fight the Predator if one of them came after us.
Sweet story 😊
RIP Sonny... thank you for your role in this classic movie.
Is that the mars face?
One of the greatest movies ever made PERIOD

I am gonna miss Carl Weathers; childhood memories. Thank you Carl.
The best part of this scene is when Poncho asks Billy: “You know something, what is it ?” As he relizes Billy is the only Native American among the squad who may know better the deep secrets of this land when everybody else has no clue of what’s going on.
And the scariest part when Billy did really know better and answers: “I’m scared”, which is a straightforward answer.
The psychology of this movie is so powerful.
You Sir...will make an excellent movie critic. Take my bow to your beautiful analysis.
“The deep secrets of the land” are you fucking kidding me
Please explain to me in a way that isn’t racist as shit what a cherokee/seminole would know about the tropical rainforest in Central America without resorting to some tiny-brained horseshit about indigenous americans having a Mystical Connection to The Land
Sincerely,
a mohegan that’s really really sick of people assuming I have some deep spiritual knowledge of The Earth because I’m indigenous
He knew exactly where to look being mestizo himself. Amazing how people discount native American accounts and connections to this land.
He's not the only Native American In the team, THAT'S BS
@@harukatakahashi8822 yes he is. He's part Sioux
I could watch this movie everyday for the rest of my life and still not be tired of it. This movie is the definition of "classic".
I second that!!!!!
One movie I can never get tired of watching. It's about as perfect as you can get in every way. This is one of my favourite scenes, particularly the way Billy solemnly and quietly says "I'm scared Poncho" and Poncho's immediate defiant response: "Bullsh!t, you ain't afraid of no man!"
Billy was probably the toughest of the crew and this really added to the sense of dread and impending doom. They were fighting a losing battle against an enemy they couldn't fathom.
My favorite action film of all time. For it to be the introduction to the Predator franchise, it hasn't been topped. It's nearly perfect.
and its been 33 years( correct me if i'm wrong)
It is not an action film even if it starts as one. Predator is a full-blown slasher-film and Arnold Schwarzenegger as Final Girl.
Too bad the follow-ups have all been shit shows.
@@artistryartistry7239 Predator 2 was decent, though certainly not near the equal of the original the way I've seen some its more diehard fans suggest. Predators also seems to be a bit overrated by some and was mediocre to me (and I just don't like Adrien Brody's fake tough guy act/voice). And "The Predator" is an abomination of filmmaking that deserves to be wiped from existence.
On a side note (since these aren't strictly Predator movies), I thought AVP was decent and gets too much hate for what it was. Requiem was complete garbage, though.
@@megavolt67 Everything after the first was a "product" rather than a passion project like the first. They did the first one because they really wanted to make that movie. All the rest were made because they wanted to make money, the passion and the creative inspiration was gone.
“And it ain’t no man”
Sat me on my ass
Best line in cinematic history
This scene right here never fails to give me chills, the communication between them all, they feel like real professional soldiers. They're all scared and you may think the one shitting the most bricks in this scene was Poncho because he comes off a bit hysterical but to me its actually Dillon who is the biggest sceptic of the group, throwing questions left and right about what they're up against and then shooting down their responses. When Billy says "we're all gonna die" Dillon immediately casts doubt instead of taking time to process what he just heard... "He's losing it, the man's losing his cool" and putting it all down to JUST a couple of guys running round the Jungle fucking with them, vocally in denial but deep down part of him knows Billy is right. Billy spoke his mind and excepted his fate with the calmest coolest demeanor possible, that's why he faces The Predator head on on that log bridge later on, he didn't want to die running in fear, he wanted to go down fighting with dignity, his way.
Just a total badass character and I'd like to think he got a few good licks in against The Predator before it got him... RIP Sonny 💪
Hence, the Predator not only takes his skull, but he in fact takes his spine along with the skull. Something I took note of watching Predator 2. If the fight was easy or okay, the Predator would skin the prey. If the prey gave a good fight, but still went down relatively easy he took a skull. Finally, if the prey went all out and the Predator considered the fight to be good or honorable he took a skull and spine with it. Billy must have had a great fight to have his spine and skull ripped out and polished.
When I was a kid I was ashamed to recognize that I loved this movie. I thought it was just a generic action film, I considered it a guilty pleasure and never understood why I liked it so much and why I thought it was a very good movie.
Now that I know a lot more about cinema, I can honestly say that I was wrong. It’s even better than I thought. It’s a masterpiece in direction, casting, scriptwriting, cinematography, soundtrack, a masterclass in how to build tension, and simply one of the best action films of the decade, and one of the best films of all time.
This movie just checks all the boxes and will be watched and studied for decades. It is, alongside Terminator 2, Matrix and Die Hard, the best action film of all time imo.
Don't forget the second Aliens movie. It's right up there with the best of them! 👍 Sigourney Weaver the greatest action heroine in film.
Predator is slasher-film wearing mask of action film. That makes it so good. Die Hard is best action film ever made.
@@GM_- Agreed. Another masterpiece from Cameron, I love that movie. The action, the suspense, the perfect cast, the direction, top notch cinematography, excellent soundtrack by James Horner (RIP), great FX, and as iconic a film can get.
And most importantly, you cared about the characters, you were worried af the entire film (Hudson and Vasquez deaths still hurt). And the xenomorphs are just the cherry on the top.
Agreed, one of the greatest action films of all time. It doesn’t get much better than that.
@@vksasdgaming9472 Kinda like Jaws, almost an horror film disguised as a family friendly adventure blockbuster 😆
Almost lost my sh*t when I first watched it when I was a kid, I thought I was going to watch fishes and stuff and first thing I see is a helpless girl getting killed by an unknown force and then a bloody human leg at the bottom of the sea. Wasn’t expecting any of that tbh (but was clearly welcomed).
Kinda same vibe with Predator (more horror than action. Or a perfect blend of both). One of a kind movie.
Bruh this was a banger from day one
i love how this movie isnt afraid to take moments of pause, and build tension, atmosphere and character.
All with minimal dialogue. There are long stretches in this film where no dialogue is even necessary to know what’s happening. I think that’s what helps make it so immersive
"I'll tell ya one thing major, I drew down and fired straight at it, capped off 200 rounds in the mini gun, full pack. Nothing. Nothing on this Earth could've lived, not at that range"
That simple line literally sums up the power that Predator has.
* and the minigun
He simply jumpedup In To a tree to evade the bullets. Amazing scene . Amazing movie..
I read this while he says it in the video
Except that Predator wasn't there. First volley of bullets from Mac's gun hurt it. All the rest was wasted.
Now a little Indian girl can kick their asses. :(

I love the respect Poncho has for Billy asking him cause he knows he isn't afraid of things and looking for his Guidance only to be semi shocked when he says he is afraid.
Poncho’s delivery in this movie is so underrated. “No blood, no bodies……we hit nothing!”

What a masterpiece
For my money, this is the best scene in the film. It doesn't have the Predator or even any action in it. Brilliantly evoked sense of peril.
There are so many great scenes in this movie. McTiernan really took the story seriously.
One of the best scenes ever, the way he says "we're all gunna die" 😅 perfectly delivered
When a Native American says he’s scared then you should be too

Most natives either North or Central o South América know very well their own landscapes and country sides.. I met many of them and they can survive inside with no supplies.. even my grand father learned that because he used to live close to the natives. He got a farm near to a little village of natives
Billy fears no man, no animal. But what he senses is not from Earth. He couldn't adapt like Dutch probably because his beliefs made him think it was a demon rather than another mortal biological organism.

I love this movie so much that I purchased it in VHS, DVD, Bluray, 4K Bluray, and now IP stream, and I still enjoy it so much. The plot, the acting, the score, the direction, everything is perfect!
Let's not forget about Anna too: She grew up about hearing story's about her men being killed not by their enemies but by something.Then
She actually witnessed it, take place in front of her eyes. Then when asked the same question,she repeated the same answer. She Grew up in war And she knew what she saw was not human warfare.
I was just a kid when I saw this movie man and when @ 1:53 his look when he says "Billy" and then the lines by both characters that followed that shit sent CHILLS down my back and goosebumps. I don't think I could blink i was so enthralled.
When action movies were action movies , they don’t make them like this any more 😟

Yes today at least one female most be in main role in action movies therw ia nothing more iretating when you compare with 1980 action movie
Then they gave Shane Black a go at making a Predator movie and all he did was turn every character into Hawkins. Made Predator into Jay and Silent Bob movie.
“Those eyes disappeared.” Such an ominous and eerie line.
The yellow eye- glow from the Predator's mask is designed to freak out and attract the attention of its prey while its camo field is on. Psychological warfare in a way. . . How else could you try and describe what Mac just saw?
Sad how they made the last movie a comedy. This film...is a CLASSIC.
Blame Marvel for being the top dog and every movie wanna copy MCU SUCCESS
the last predator movie was also produced by shane black..hawkins in the orginal movie ,dont know what he was thinking making such a lazy movie
"It's just a couple of guys running around out there" LMAO
D Joe 😂
He made it sound like it was a bunch of highschoolers playing around 😁.
The amount of testosterone on that set will never be matched
One of the most rewatchable films of all time.
It really has great suspense and horror as we could see that even a group of tough guys on a high protein diets are afraid. While other horror movies only feature a group of lost college students or kids.
Dutch's Plan And Some Faith the lost student useless student shit is annoying af
The lost college students got skinned alive in jim hoppers party chopper..
The Predator had to be the ultimate bad ass because these guys were. It would not be believable at all how one life could wipe out this whole group of elite soldiers.
I’ve always appreciated how this film mixes military action genre with sci-fi so seamlessly.
survival and horror too.
I’ll never forget that moment in the cinema when you saw the predators hand pick up the dead scorpion 🦂. Was like “ holy shit this just got serious “ All time great.
That was a frightening intro to what they were up against.
Anytime. . . 👁👁
The fear of unknown gradually mounts in us while watching this great movie! Almost all of us would've seen this cult classic sci-fi thriller. The director, musician, Arnie and locations...all are perfect!
Such one-liners are worth revisiting!
Good old days...
I'm glad Billie walked off. He was being so negative 😂
Ifit was Oddball from Kelly's Heroes, it would be the CIA putting acid trips in his field rations lol
Hey man, the jungle kinda came alive n took him I guess. . .
This movie was a masterpiece. All, its parts,...action, scenarios, script creativity, the predator, etc.etc. Tension and tension that never stopped with peaks of Himalayas altitude. The jungle as background is the big secret. But as a perfect salad, on perfect balance of moments and ingredients. Again...a masterpiece that I watched many, many times.
I think John Mctierrnan did a great job creating suspense in this film, this scene alone is scary when Billy says "It ain't no man" that gives me chills and the fact he knows there all going to die, that hopelessness and fighting something that is superior to you, great film!
I've watch this movie more than 50 time's and I can't get tired of watching it.
Same here, God I love this movie it's a master piece but unfortunately after this one comes the massacre of the franchise including the last one it's Shame
I've seen it over a hundred and thirty times
Bone chilling scene, when Mack says nothing on earth could have lived at that range, and Sonny realizes the gravitas of the situation. So much power in a scene from an action movie. You don't see that anymore sadly.
I think sometimes you have to be scared or defeated to know exactly what your dealing with. This scene right here which is the core of the movie made them realize that. Yes, this is bone chilling to the core.
When the top player in your squad said "we all gonna die", yep, we all gonna die...
😂😂😂😂💀
I laughed at this for 2 minutes - quality comment haha
😆
What rung
Ring
Quietly, this fav scene of ours is preceded by arguably the best subtle scene of cultural significance in film.
The build up to it with Billy sensing it more and more. Then Ana talking about how her people grew up talking about this type of creature.
This all led to the bone-chilling scream from the Predator, then it shows Ana and Billy are the only ones in the group to react to it.
It shows Ana in the foreground first looking terrified, then instinctively and urgently she turns to Billy in the background, then when it shows him he has that same dialed in but spooked look on his face, but didn’t even glance at her. While the rest of the industrialized company weren’t even aware of what just happened.
That subtle scene is the best cultural critique/comparative assessment of 1st World citizens living industrialized versus 1st Nation peoples living in ecological and energetic alignment with Nature.
I heard the director was highlighting American overkill with our violence conditioning in the first contact scene. Not only do I wonder wildly how he would summarize the importance of this shot, but also, I wonder how it reads in the script.
Brilliant.
I think a prequel showing their past missions would be badass. Dutch’s team.
Mr Big Boss bit late for that. They’re all senior citizens now
And Sonny Landham is dead
As others have said, too late for that. Perhaps a prequel like jim hopper and his squad and how that went down.
The Hopper idea is very good. Or Show us Dutch now. All you need is Arnold and maybe the woman. Make it current times and put them with a new unit thats hunting a Predator. Kind of as advisors, like Ripley in Aliens, and they end up fighting it.
@@generalzod7959 yes and the girl.maybe some of the russian camp too involved
"Billy! You know something, what is it?"
Man, the look on Poncho's face at 2:18 pretty much sums up the intense fear of the reality that they are really starting to realise they are in. Very disturbing, seemingly unexplainable things going on, and their incredible vulnerability is really now apparent. Fighting against a superior unknown thing, very precarious situation to be in. It's hard enough and terrifying enough as it is fighting what you know, nevermind what you don't know.
Predator is a classic!!
I wish I could go to the movies today and watch a movie just like the predator. Not anymore!!!!
A couple things made this untouchable compared to the sequels and remakes.
1. McTiernan's direction.
2. The musical score.
3. Each character felt fleshed out in the limited time they have on screen.
4. It represented people of colour very well, as they were strong, formidable and had insight unlike the others. (Billy is my dude RIP)
5. It came out at the right time, at the height of the American incursion into 1980s South America. The movie is really a microcosm of American drug czarism of the 1980s.
Billy really stole every scene he had extended dialogue in. So chilling
Movie fact:
Jesse Ventura and Richard Chaves were actually Vietnam Vets. This movie still kicks asses even without CGI stuff and overacted characters of nowadays.
Ventura actually missed combat duty as a UDT when he was stationed in Subic Bay NavSta, that’s why he never claimed to be a Vietnam Vet.
Especially without CGI stuff.
That assault on the compound had real explosions, people on fire, squibs exploding.
The stunt team who worked on the A-Team did that, and crammed a whole movie’s action into that scene cos the remainder of the film turns into a slasher, horror sci-fi
Seen this movie just yesterday and im still watching my favorite parts here in youtube....been watching this many times since my childhood. this movie is from 1987 but it doesn't get old. great actors great biceps, great triceps. great abs, great guns, great poncho!
Carl Weathers went from hunting Predator to hunting Baby Yoda.
Venting Show he never learns got his ass beat by drago too
He also gave acting classes in arrested development
សួស្ដី
Aliens are aliens no?
I love the way Billy calmly says “we’re all gonna die”
Oh my god! I watched this when I was like 7 or 8. My elder cousins convinced me that the predator is real and could be right outside my room, on the tree. This scared the crap out of me and even to this day, I cannot watch this movie alone. !!! What a great movie!
Tintin8 I can relate😂
The real badass in this group is actor Richard Chaves, an Army Vietnam veteran. I like the touch of how his character first asks approval from his team leader Dutch with a simple look, who in turn gives a nod before asking the civilian woman questions. Also when Mac yells "Contact!!!" leveling the jungle with the minigun the entire team fires in the same direction without question or doubt showing how much they trust each other as an elite unit should.
All you gotta know is John McTiernan did Predator and then Die Hard, none of this was a fluke - goddamned GENIUS.
Veldtian1 And he followed them up with The Hunt for Red October!
Die Hard was first before Predator.
@@paulcorda predator 1987 die hard 1988
The 13th Warrior, don't forget that viking movie.
Don't forget Kevin Peter Hall's performance as the predator. Absolute brilliance!!
This movie may be the best movie of all time... along with maybe Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back. It's close, but I think this one is the BEST, period.
I have watched it lot many times, but it still gives goosebumps..
Scary Movie predator
Me too 🤛
