Bill Duke spoke to VladTV about directing the hit TV show Dallas and the guard at the studio believing he was a delivery man, which Bill corrected him on, much to the guard's shock. Bill added that he felt fortunate to shatter that glass ceiling, which led to many more directorial jobs.
During the sit-down, Bill also spoke about working with Arnold Schwarzenegger on Commando and Predator. He also shared stories about braving the rough conditions while filming the movies and how Arnold transformed the ballrooms in their hotel to a personal gym.

Bill Duke in Predator always gives me chills. The chemistry between him and Ventura was great. The movie couldn’t have been better casted. It’s always sad seeing him mourn his best friend’s death.
Love his line when he was scared of seeing the Predator he said "I'm gonna have me some fun".
Love me some Bill Duke♥️he’s a classic
"I'll Bleed you .. Real quiet .. and Leave ya here .. GOT THAT?" One of the BEST lines in the movie! CLASSIC!!!!
That and GET TO THE CHOPA!
"Anytiiiime!"

I do. My fav movie right here
@Manny Santiago Yes i like how the Predator copied his laugh.

"Up there, past them trees. I. See. You." -- Bill Duke, 'Predator' (1987).
My Dad introduced me to the 1987 movie "Predator" years ago, and to this day, it's my favorite action movie. It's a classic. Bill Duke's performance as "Mac" was excellent. Although Billy sensed the Predator, Mac was the first soldier on Dutch's team to see the Predator, and live to tell what he saw. When Mac picked up Blain's minigun (Ol' Painless) and fired away, he shot off 200 rounds in the minigun! Nothing. Mac was right when he explained that nothing on earth could have lived. Not at that range. The Predator was not of this Earth. Thanks for sharing. Well done Mr. Duke.
Some ppl grew up with alladin and lion king I grew up with predator and commando
terror gaming u must have had a good father on your side
How about growing up with all 4?
Bitch plz, some of us grew up watching all 4
INFINITE 2020 Well...they were kid movies lol
“This green beret is gon whoop yo ass”
OG Predator is still one of my all-time favorite movies. Not a wasted shot. Everyone brought their "A" game... :)
Great movie
So much manliness and badassery in one movie, couldn't be made today, they would complain about all the toxic masculinity
Predator was so much fun to see in the cinema when it came out
Big Boy flick
Easily top 5 action movies of all time period.
When glass cracks it cuts... 🤔 gem of the year. Legendary Bill Duke
Boom once a G always a G. Deliver u an ass whooping:P

That's powerful
LOVED that quote.

LOL!!!
Bill Duke is a big reason of what makes the Predator so intimidating in the first film. Watching his devolution from supremely confident military operator to scared and approaching mentally broken soldier really emphasized how fearsome the creature is. His performance is the emotional heart of the film, imo. The rest is all primarily action and tension. Great action and tension, absolutely. Some of the best every crafted. But Bill Duke's performance is a huge reason we really care for the characters, and why the Predator possesses such a powerful presence and impact.
“I am delivering my talent as the director.”. ... Great comeback!
Exactly 💪💪✌️
Yeah, but a bit OTT. Turns up in a beat up car, what did he expect?
Bill Duke was dope in Predator...him and his razor lol
Digga Dirt turn around
That was an EPIC scene !!!!
Digga Dirt don’t forget that scene where he shanks that wild hog! haha savage!
He shaved so hard he broke his razor! Total badass😁👍

"I see em. Yeah, i see em... We can get this thing Mac."
Predator is timeless. It will always be my favorite movies. Bill Duke is an amazing actor and gentleman
"Breaking the glass ceiling cuts." Why have I not heard this till now. that's brilliant
Predator is definitely a classic no debate
Jondu Flee even Predator 2 was but the 1st is sublime
Jondu Flee punk bitch
Agreed! One of Arnold's best films for sure! 👍
Original Predator is a top man's man movie..
Predator will make you a goddamn sexual Tyrannosaurs... just like me. :)
So true...when men movies were real movies...nowadays they'll have a female beat up on an action star as big and muscular as Arnold which is totally bullshit...men cant be men nowadays in this soft era
YUP and a classic
Predator, Road House, Commando.
Top 3 Man Movies
@@dan_hitchman007 "strap this on your sore ass" lol
Bill Duke had the coldest stare, he had a screen presence.
Still does! He has a role in the show called Black Lightning
@@escobarincorporated8515 Couldn't get on with that show but I remember that he was in an episode of the Re-imagined Battlestar Galactica.
He was the SCARIEST character in Predator. The way he creeps up on the other guys with that murderous expression and that quiet voice. The only time he ever gets loud in that movie is "CONTAAAAACT!" and he mows down the area with the minigun, making the Predator run away pissing itself.
Then reaches for old painless.....
Bill Duke was such a memorable 80s star. He was a terrifying villain.
My first memory of him is on a tv series with Michael J Fox set in an historic small town, playing a kind fatherly character. So Predator and Commando were a shock but he did all those characters so well.
He was not a villain in Predator, but his performance in it was amazing! His and Blaine's camaraderie is very evident together.
Love the confidence he has in himself. Knows who he is and doesn't feel threatened. There is no victim in him.
That's what I tell a lot of my friends black friends do not react to the police that's exactly what you're waiting for confrontation
No victimhood, just brilliance.
The friendship between Mac (Bill Duke) and Blain (Jessie Ventura) in Predator is one of my favorite things of the movie. Just a cool side story in a classic 80s action movie and even though both characters seemed completely opposite of each other, somehow it worked and you believed it.
I will say I absolutely loved Duke in predator and Commando. Great actor.
And director.
@Terran : The safety-razor scene. Iconic.
“any time...”
very powerful performance at the end of Car Wash...told the story of the black man in the 70s
Bill Duke shaving without shaving cream in Predator (and his performance as Mac) was one of the greatest character moments of all time. Cheers Mr. Duke!
When you see Bill Duke like this, just talking, being himself, you really appreciate how good of an actor this man is.
Arnold: MAAAAAC!!!!!!!!!!
Mac: I'm gon' have me some fun.
Dude those lines along with mac screaming: “SEARGEAAAANT!!!”
He's probably the best actor in predator. If you watch it again and watch how he plays the character, he plays it amazing.
The Shadowrun
Straight facts.
BIll Duke is definitely the most intense.
I also liked Billy, the big ass Native American guy who was so deadpan. Spot on.
When glass BREAKS it CUTS. Facts.
Big statement
He meant in the world of breaking barriers... when you enter as a black person removing the old thinking... when that glass starts to crack.. it cuts them...
@@jacobsladder6715 I think we all understood that. Thanks though. I'll look you up if I need anymore obvious metaphors decoded.
Bill’s an underrated talent. Like others have said he has an awesome presence on screen.
He said, "I'm delivering my talent!" Yesss! I love it
It's what I say to all the ladies
He was the best actor by far in Predator. Phenomenal performance.
Arnold and Carl Weathers tho man. Cmon. That hand shake!
@@waingro5834 "Dillon you son of a bitch" lol
@@petionville9359 "Make it easy on yourself Dutch.....Okay! OKAY!"
@@waingro5834 People always laugh when I say this cause Arnold isn't known for his great acting skills but I really think Arnold did the best acting of his career in Predator.
This brutha directed Dallas and wasn't no bruthas on the show...that's gangsta
yeeeee mowfuka
Dis old ass nigga got skillz.
even white guy couldve been questioned, big deal. They say steven splbrg was stopped from entering his own studio cause of no ID.
so nxt time we see a black guy Kiss his ass n give him a red carpet welcome or you get this
No questions asked
@@strixaluco9369 so nxt time we see any black guys we must Kiss his ass n give him a red carpet welcome or you get this
No questions asked
As a kid I'd watch Predator running around jumping on the sofa with the hoover pipes as my M4 grenade launcher Arni had. Great film still to this day
"Anytime...." the best line!!!
Talk about an underrated talent....
Bill Duke always seems super humble in real life. He absolutely crushed that security guard with a lesson of humility. I always been a fan of his works whether it’s acting or directing.
I love Mac!!
Man predator and commando were my grandma favorite movie and i grew up loving it! I cry now even watching it and think how much we enjoyed when she was alive...
This man is sharing so much wisdom and experience. We can all learn to expand our linits and expectations from him.
👍👍👍👍👍🤞!.
Man the new Predator they just did is so trash compared to the original one.
Russians React EVERY sequel that came after the Original was pure GAHHBAGE compared to the first
@@mainygnac low key the one with Danny Glover is solid AF, it wasnt touching first one but it was a damn good stand alone movie.
"Want some candy"
@@mainygnac Im not talking about the one with Danny Glover bro. I'm talking bout the one they made this year. The Danny Glover one was dope too
@@YoungHaveNot i agree the first one was the best then second the other one was horrible
They are both trash.
Who doesn't love Bill Duke? Loved him in Menace 2 Society too. Great talent. Great guy.
I remember Bill Duke in Carwash, what a hilarious movie.
Uh.. WRONG. Arnold s career was not the equivalent of Dwayne Johnson's today. Arnold was the top biggest draw at the movies. And He was certainly the NUMBER 1 actor in his genre action. A genre that he basically helped create. At his height. If you asked the average person. Who is the most popular actor on the planet, It would have been Arnold. Johnson although popular. Is not 1/2 as popular as Arnold was. No one says Johnson is the top actor. He isnt even considered the top in action films. Arnold was one of those people who reached the highest peak of fame. A status beyond famous. Hell. Arnolds one liners alone became part of American Culture.
...i love the rock but try this brain buster...name the rocks best film lol 😀 its damb hard not one name comes to mind. the rock was the best wrestler in wwe he is a piss poor actor who has yet to find a truly great role in film. All of Arnold's films are legend !!! peace y'all
You were born on the year 2000 stfu
+Celestial Kirin i was born 2014 n i still know ARRR NOOLLLLDDDD was far superior 😛
Neil Tipton Not to mention Arnold starred in some emotional roles too in movies that won Academy Awards aka Terminator 2 Judgement Day! The Rock stars ONLY in shallow movies with no meaning that NEVER win Academy Awards and none of The Rocks movies are classics. NONE. Just popcorn flicks that you forget you watched the next day. They’re just 2 hour time killers.
@@000274400 I can't name one Rock film lol. I can name all Arnie films..
"im gon have me sum fun..."..
Mr Bill Duke... u killed it!!!!!
Menace to society "you know you fucked up right?"
I was literally jus saying this out loud😂🤣😂👍👍👍
Bill duke playing coke in commando is my favorite part his role as mack in predator was amazing last of a dying breed
he killed it in "Payback" too, small role but still
"This Green Beret is gonna kick your big ass" then crashes into the room with the big titty porn star.
@@EdMcCornhole "I eat green berets for breakfast"
Excellent talent,humble, intelligent man.
@@n.vanh.7666 Thank You
“TURN AROUND” 🔪 🦂
He saved my man from the scorpion sting...lol
Anytime!
Thanks. 🤨
I love the scene where he breaks the razor on his face. My all time favorite movie. Cool dude, very humble.
No disrespect to Dwayne Johnson, but Arnold was well above what his status is today. It does not even compare, bad analogy.
LazzyJames
yup. All action stars after Arnold are just trying to be Arnold
LazzyJames I don’t think it’s bad. Younger generation can document “The Rock” rise better than they can Arnie, all they’ll see is an old man
It’s honestly the closest comparison of any actor today so... yea
I agree! When Arnold dropped a movie, it was a must that you go see it. Even kindergarten cop and twins lol just cuz he was in it.
I definitely say arnold was more entertaining but idk the rock got shoes, movie agency, headphones and can guest star on wwe at any time. They neck and neck to me rick really just needs a few really good movies to top off the checklist
Man, I loved Bill in Predator and Commando! That whole cast in Predator was phenomenal! It's one of my favorites. Commando is a little more dated, but still fun to watch.
I'm glad to see that Bill is still alive and kicking. Every time I turn around, it seems like one of my heroes from my youth is kicking the bucket.
Bill Duke and the original Predetor still holds up today I think.
“You’re breaking glass ceilings “
Bill Duke: “yeah but when you break glass.... it cuts...just get thru that “.
"Anytime." The most brilliant delivery of a single word line in screen history. Thank you, Bill Duke, for delivering your talent.
Arnold was bigger (in reputation, notoriety and celebrity) than Dwayne Johnson, not even close.
right Arnold was 6,1 now its smaller because he is and old man, Dwayne is 6,3 i believe, stil a big guy overall
@@OliveraESP are you trolling?
@@YoungHaveNot www.celebheights.com/s/Arnold-Schwarzenegger-177.html
@Jamall Rodriguez Yeah but he's big now again.
At least Arnold has somewhat more range
The rock is NOWHERE NEAR what Arnold was back in the day!💯 BILL DUKE ALL THE WAY!💯👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
When glass breaks it cuts. Good metaphor for being the first to break barriers.
Bill Duke always gives an excellent and memorable performance. It's not surprising that he's also a respected director. One word says it: Talent
Bill Duke 1 of my favorite actors of all time🙏
Bill Duke is the reason i watch Black Lighting..Such an amazing cast
@@teebone2157 Thunder is a lesbian in the comics as well... They're just keeping with the source material. Plus it's barely in the show.
I didn't know Bill Duke is on that show. I'm still not watching it but it's good to hear Mr. Duke still very busy.
Facts. Find a Carl Weathers or Jesse Ventura interview about how they tried to keep up wit Arnold and his on set workout schedule. Epic.
And both those guys were in very good shape too.
Cross Bill Duke, and he'll bleeeeed youuuu, real quiet, and leave you heeeere ! Got that ?!?
'I'm gonna have me some fun'. Classic line!!
I don’t see a black guy , I see a talented American man who must be a saint to not get pissed at some people’s stupidity.
I am thinking precisly the same friend
you must be blind to not be able to see how very very black this man is! you probaly should have your eyes checked! because this man is so black, even black people will think: "maaan, this guys very very black"
@@CloneShockTrooper ah, so you noticed that he's black first?
You should see him as a black man. You say this to him I’d be willing to bet he’d put you in your place
Only racists see skin color. Skin color means nothing, how you behave is what counts.
Arnold was 100 times more of an action star than TheRock.
YES and with no bs CGI. and I'm a huge Rock fan from childhood wrestling
The Rock has little charisma in my opinion.
1000 times
In what way?
nothing beats the 80s action stars
“ imma have me some fun.... imma have me some fun...”
Lol, yes!!
Facts
😂
I eat green berets for breakfast right now im very hungry!!!! Lol so corny but funny
Great fight scene tho....in that lil ass motel
Heiz Hummer Classic
Haha. If I’m not mistaken his name was Cook!
@@UPPERROOMENT yes!!!!!
Duke was cold as ice in Commando. "wheres Sully? open the door."
He was great as the captain in Action Jackson, the way he said “I had forgotten it was my wife’s *parcheesi* night”. A small thing, but so memorable. Talented actor for sure.
Predator was ahead of its time. It’s quite impressive, even the special effects…and it came out in ‘87.
*I'm gonna have me some fun* ✅😀
Over here
This green beret is gonna kick your ass!
....Anytiiiime....
yeahhhhh remember that...got me sayin it every chance I got 8)
..the Rock Dwayne Johnson doesnt even come close to the iconic movies Arnold has done!
True. Terminator, Conan, Predator, Total Recall...people still talk about them today - and they keep getting remade, rebooted, sequel-ized to this day. Most people have already forgotten the movies Dwayne Johnson was in 5 years ago.
He does not compare at all.
@@domepiecemcgrill3896 that’s not his fault that Hollywood isn’t producing new films he’s just an actor getting paid. Same with Arnold he didn’t knew he was making iconic shit back in the 80’s he was just acting.
They're very much the same if u ask me and I might dare say johnson is a better actor. Arnold was iconic because he's arnold, not because he was a stellar actor. He was always typecast as the big musclehead main character. His other roles where he was supposed to be funny, those movies did well at box office because it's arnold, but they are all forgotten now and ppl only remember his big action roles. Johnson is actually decent at being a funny guy, and he's VERY good at being the big musclehead. Johnson's a bit of a chameleon on screen, I'd like to see him do romance with zero action and see how well he could perform such a role. Arnold, we just want to see him play the big guy with a gun. He doesn't make you want anything more than that from him.
Johnson also does much better physical fight scenes than any fight scene I have ever seen arnold do. I loved him as a kid but listen I grew up and realized what acting really is.. arnold is nothing special in that field but he is iconic just for being himself. The time era had alot to do with it as well.
Dwayne johnson doesnt even deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Arnold, thats disrespecting Arnold.
FACT
That's fucking ridiculous, of course he does. I'm not a Rock fan, but he objectively is not in a different class than Arnold, your personal feelings aside.
@@artistryartistry7239 You can't overlook The Rock's wrestling career, BUT... what classic movies he been in? Arnold got bonafide classics out here.
Dub Deuce you can’t put that on the Rock, there hasn’t been any classics written or made like what Arnold had. Give him a script and some directors like Arnie had and Rock would pump out classics too
@@artistryartistry7239 where is the "Terminator" for the rock? Even "Conan"? Dwayne's career in the movies business is far far away from Arnold's career.
"That ain't no way for a soldier to die" "Whoever did this is gonna come back and when he does I'm gonna cut yo name into him".
Bill Dukes role as SFC Mack is one of my favorite portrayals of an NCO in an action movie ever.
Bill Duke is a legend 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Nobody messed with Bill Duke back in the 80's!
I know the whole predator movie by heart.. Its easily my top 20 greatest movies of all time.
#MACKKKKK GET TO THA CHOPPA!!!!
its in the top 3 pal! its somehow cheesy and the best action film of all time
@@andersshitpost3306 its not "MY" top 3. And it was nothing cheesy about the movie. Considering it was the 80s it was great!
I'm telling ya
Amazing that a guy that has such a menacing presence onscreen is such a nice guy in real life. Guess that says it all about his acting skills.
I have to watch predator again now
I love his skin it's almost purple, beautiful!
Bill Duke is very dark.
We know what Rick James would've called him.
Dan Lyons "they shoulda neva gave you niggas money!"
Predator 2 with Danny Glover was so underrated. Not as good as 1 but still dope. Predator vs Alien was good but after that the Predator and Alien movies sucked
AVP 1 and 2 were wild corny. Predators was garbage and so was the new flick. Predator 2 with the backdrop of crack era L.A. worked and that movie can stand on its own as a good flick. Predator 1 is ATG stuff.
My man Scruggs!!!
Predator 2 was great. Gritty and very 90s.
Predator 2 is a great sci-fi action flick, Highly underrated. I also loved Predators and AVP. They are a must for your movie catalog
Agreed. Underrated sequel!
VLAD you should interview Carl Weathers next
There's a bunch on UA-cam already. Lots of talk about the making of predator.
Carl Weathers would be a cool interview.
Watch Arrested Development.
Bill Duke has worn a suit in every movie I've seen him in... Except one film. Carwash.
Bill Duke is a great actor and I'd love to shake his hand. Thank him for all the childhood memories of watching him on film.
They need to make his character in predator a DLC in the new predator game.
BILL DUKE's interrogation scene in MENACE ll SOCIETY, had me confessing to the crime.
U know u fuck up rught, lol
So true
Interviewer compares Arnie to Dwayne?? No comparison. Piss poor analogy
Agree. Furthermore, interviewer is just awful, truly cringeworthy. Bill is just too damn classy to say anything to the guy, but it is sad to see such a legend being interviewed by this babbling idiot and his idiotic half baked comments. Lay off the bong, jackwagon!
Johnny Fry rock hasn’t been in one good film lol he’s films are kiddies stuff and garbage,Arnold films legendary go on for decades,no comparison at all,all rock famous for is fake wrestling
Actually very accurate. Arnold passed the torch to The Rock.
@Johnny Fry ty
Arnie has git straight CLASSICS!! Too many to mention.. Dwayne Johnson could never compare
Bill Duke played Abdullah character in Car Wash in the 70's with Richard Pryor
Yes, he was the Muslim! 😄
When glass breaks, it cuts. Wow, what a great line. Brilliant man.
Bill Duke’s performance in Predator was the linchpin and emotional anchor that made it a special movie.
The interviewer is horrible.. jeez.
I agree. It's as if he's a college student on a college radio station. Very amateurish.
Nah, vlad cool
Reminds me of SNL Chris Farley.....That was awesome....
@Valerie O'Brien I loved his character in Predator. Didn't realize how much more there was to Bill. Very intelligent and well rounded individual.
Question 1: how did it feel to hold a minigun in predator?:
Question 2:
In the movie when jessie Character got killed, bill Character went crazy with that m134 machine gun chopping them trees lol. I love that movie!
Billy was the big indian. Dis guys character name was Dutch
Don't forget he was in action Jackson even tho a small part he played he played it great
Also Bill Duke played in "Car Wash"
My favorite line of his. "Long tall Sally built with speed she got everything that Uncle John need! Oh baby imma jave me some fun tonight!....Lol
Bill Duke has such an incredible presence about him, he simply commands attention and respect.
Raw deal, commando, and predator are my all time favorite movies
Man I forgot about Raw Deal with what's his name

He is
He is a legend
Lol🤣
@Vision Tube you a straight up bitch....racist prick
"when glass breaks, it cuts." GENIUS!!!
What a wonderfully accomplished human being...
Just to throw my two cents in there cause i definitely came up during the 80’s, Arnold only made Commando because of the popularity of Rambo. Its even a sneak diss to Sly in there when Arnold says, “I eat green Berets fir breakfast” which was a diss to Rambo because he was a green beret. Love both those guys work to this day. Made my 80’s tv time more enjoyable.
vegitausa Even more disrespectful, because Sly is a draft dodger. 🤣 Arnold’s a savage lol.
DJ Vlad: Thanks for the Interview Bill Duke.
Bill Duke: (Whispers) Anytime. 🦂🗡
Thanks for the interview Bill.
“Anytime”
Bill Duke is one of my favorite co stars in his movies. Came out in Car Wash when he was real young.
Dude was the most intimidating man in Predator, he got that cold ass stare.
