Also, makes it so that it would contain the Aliens better. Allow them to hunt, but not endanger the rest of the world as much. They don't want to spoil their favorite hunting grounds.
Regardless of the film’s overall quality, Sa’naa Lathan is one of the best and most competent female protagonists we’ve ever gotten. She was smart, active, beautiful and made rational decisions. I really liked that she was genuinely concerned about the team’s safety and them not being prepared. Most protagonists would’ve just told the team to suck it up. Also, the final team up with her and the Predator was what the film should’ve been in its entirety lol.
When homeboy at the beginning told everyone about his kids, he had waiting for him back at home, he may as well have just hung a sign around his neck saying "dead man walking." That's pretty much telling everyone he's DEFINITELY not making it out of this. Those kids immediately became fatherless
@salmankhan2739 Lmao, yep, you hold off on that personal info to when the adventure is over and you're safely back to civilization. Like, "Oh man, that was harrowing, I'm gonna head back home to see the family."
@taags And then he has to go home to his family in a possible sequel and have to lean on them coming to grips with everything that happened. Maybe it drives a rift in their marriage. They become distant from their children due to PTSD and survivors guilt. Kind of like they did with Ripley in Aliens, but take it a step further with the family actually being alive
Tara is like my mother whenever she watches a movie. "What is that?" "It's a satellite" "Where are they?" "It just said where they are" "What room are they in" "They just said the room" "I thought that thing was on her face, did she not get hugged?" "You will find out in a second"
@@SymmbolZS No. Since Ripley squished one with an armored vehicle then xenomorphs are susceptible to pressure. There is no pressure in outer space, so them being able to survive in vacuum does not mean surviving under tons of water is possible.
You can say whatever you want about this film, but I think everyone agrees on one thing: 31:57 This is one of the most iconic moments in cinematic history (and a f*cking cool wallpaper).
"I think this dude's been in another Alien movie." Yeah. He played Bishop in Aliens from 1986, and Weyland in Alien 3. They used the same actor all 3 movies, its Lance Henriksen.
@@vladyvhv9579 people are Wack because that's my favorite Predator movie after the Original & I saw the Original in the theater the first night it came out.
*Interesting bits about the movie and some answers for Aaron:* These three predators have been given names -- Chopper (1st to die) he specializes in bladed weapons, Celtic (the big one) he specializes in close combat and seems to be the lead on this hunt, and Scar (the final one) he seems to be going down the path called "disc master" where they specialize in throwing weapons. The Alien with the net print has been named Grid (for obvious reasons lol) Aaron's question about the Pyramid moving -- The idea from what I remember is that it ups the challenge for the Predators so they can't just memorize the layout. Aaron's question about how Lex has the Alien head -- Scar just cut off its exoskeleton so there was presumably no blood in it.
Actor is Lance Henriksen. He was in Aliens as Bishop th android, and Alien³ as Bishop and Bishop's designer, Michael Bishop Weyland. So yes, this is his 3rd Alien film. And in this separate continuity, the ancestor of his character in Alien³.
And although AVP is technically separate, you can still merge them as far as the Weylands go (he is Charles Bishop Weyland here, while Guy Pearce is Peter Weyland in Prometheus). Charles would just be an older relative (Peter would be approx. 25 years old during AVP).
Also, he was James Cameron's initial choice for the role of the terminator :P luckily they switched to Arnold, but still gave him a part in the movie. To this day, Henriksen is the only actor whose characters got killed by the Terminator, the Alien AND the Predator.
The main criticism I've got is trying to follow all the characters when they got split up. Second: there were three preds going through the ritual. They should have been more distinct so we could follow them.
28:53 the guy that Tara doesn't recognize is a very good Italian actor, his name is Raoul Bova, and in addition to being happy that he participated in a franchise like Alien & Predator for us Italians he is also the voice of Hercules in the Disney animated film. Greetings from Italy and keep it up.✌
FYI, The predators do not "rage quit" a bad Xenomorph Hunt... they know the consequences of an uncontrolled infestation, and the ONLY answer: "Let's nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure" Xenomorphs have always been around. The Yaujta Encounter xenomorphs thousands of years ago and said "Hey, this is cool. Let's use these for our adulthood ritual hunts." The rules of this hunt: 1. Hunt something that can hunt you unaugmented. 2. Capture the flag rules, get the guns to earn the ability to use them. 3. Battle royale, survive to escape the labyrinth with your prize. This is the Predators sending their teenagers to a Dave 'n Buster's + Laser tag. David did not create the alien. He caused one outbreak out of many by unlocking the gun cabinet. Yes the original comic series should have been adapted, not this.
I love the idea that the mark is the sign if a predator becoming an adult. So that means that the ones Arnold and Danny beat in the other films were the predator version of 16 year Olds out on a deer hunt.
@@christopherkowalczyk4405 the "Mark of a Blooded Warrior" is used to signify one who has hunted "the most dangerous game". Youths are apprenticed to Huntmasters who arrange trials. Getting to test yourself against the "Ameda-ha" (the "hard meat", aka Xenos) is a mark of distinction. The Marking with a huntmaster's mark is a badge of honor. Humans are rising in their estimation as opponents as they become more capable of killing Yaujta. They can count equal or above Xenos in some circles, with the right MC energy prey. There are many factions and sub-cults in Yaujta culture, and different meanings to acts of honor and both liberal and conservative interpretations of The Code of the Hunt.
Yeah they were around at least a million years (they may or may not have been created by an alien race) and are based on lifeforms that existed over a BILLION years ago.
Really underrated movie! The first fight scene between one xenomorph and two predators is one of the greatest moments in the whole franchise! Well made
Originally, Roland Emmerich, Director of Independence Day and GODZILLA was going to make this film as far back as 1997, the same year ALIEN: Resurrection was released. He even wanted Stan Winston to come back to the franchise by making new Alien and Predator make-up and character effects, which would have been awesome, but the film got stuck in development hell for 7 years.
39:00 The fact you don't see wiping out a civilization as necessary to keep the aliens from spreading is hilarious and shows y'all haven't really been paying attention. I would almost rather take the flood from Halo than deal with a xenomorph infestation. Considering there's multiple comics about Earth falling because of these things, it is most definitely necessary to wipe them out and take everything with them if you have to. There are entire worlds in the comics that are nests for the xenomorphs
LORD willing, it's not right, but also, as a devout Christian, it seems pretty obvious to me in that example the aliens seemed to likely maybe have killed everyone, so how much is there to wipe out really?
7:56 😂😂 I'll say it now, yes I'm pedantic... even if I'm often wrong myself. But as this is Antarctica, those are technically the southern lights - or aurora australis.
One of my favorite Sci Fi Action Adventure Horror Thriller Films from the ALIEN and PREDATOR franchise! It's the most expensive film from both series, $75 million dollars. It made $178 million dollars at the box office. Originally Sigourney Weaver was asked if she would star in the film, but thought that a crossover was "a terrible idea, it would never work, you can't put two of the most fearsome extraterrestrials on the big screen together!"
There have been a few instances of humans participating in Yautja hunts. Some have even become members of their culture. Just goes to show that they not only see humans as a worthy challenge, but also as potentially worthy allies
25:10 If you liked that, you will LOVE Navarro's facehugging in Alien - Romulus. I guarantee you will not be okay -- I can already hear Tara mumbling _"No, no, I don't want it, I don't want it ...."_ 😂
Also, for the Predator species the hunt is a right of passage for the younger ones, while also recognizing and appreciating another species that's good at killing. Which kind of explains the ending of predator 2, The big predator at the end that gave Danny Glover that ancient gun respected him even though Danny just killed his son. But it was seen as an honorable death.
We just hit the 20 year anniversary of this movie (YES I can’t fucking believe it either🤯) and it still holds up. Are there problems with it? Yes. Should it have been R rated? Yes. But it’s still so much damn fun.
I remember the director of this movie saying his predators are "elites" but 2 of them got merked from a single xenomorph lol they are not elites, sir. Now the Wolf Predator from AVP II, now THAT is an Elite Yautja.
Celtic, Scar, Chopper Celtic was a Young Blood who, in 2004, travelled to Earth with his brothers Scar and Chopper to undertake an initiation Hunt in an ancient Predator pyramid beneath the ice on Bouvet Island. In stalking and killing prey, they hoped to become Blooded Yautja. Although each of the Predators was a relatively inexperienced juvenile, Celtic was the oldest of the three brothers and acted as the leader of the group. During the ritual hunt, he killed at least one human and engaged the Xenomorph Grid in single combat. However, despite initially having the upper-hand, his overconfidence ultimately got the better of him and he was killed by the Drone. As a result, Celtic failed to slay any aliens and thus never became Blooded.
For anyone watching this curious about continuity and plot holes between the 3 franchises, a good way to look at it is that the Alien movies are canon to the Predator universe, but the Predator movies aren’t canon to the Alien universe. So, if it happened in an Alien movie, it happened in the Predator world, but if it happened in a Predator or AvP, it’s safe to assume it isn’t recognized in the Alien world.
People hate on the the next film, Alien Vs Predator: Requiem, but I like it quite a bit. The the human characters pretty much suck but like ya’ll said in this reaction, we don’t watch these movies for the humans, we watch it for the monster fighting action! And I like that the sequel is rated R like the rest of both franchises.
Sanaa Lathan was also in another film with Wesley Snipes (Blade) called Disappearing Acts (2000), good movie came out a few years after the first Blade.
Not only an American mistake, because myself and everyone I know can tell the difference. But the same way so many people doing reactions (infuriatingly) have face blindness, I think there's some part of them that can't perceive specific accents.
@@kayshinae9023I think the face blindness, come from watching so many films in short periods. I think their attention isn't always there or that part of their brain is disengaged.
Cliffhanger came out in 1993. It's wild that you can't tell the difference between Sanaa Lathan and Thandie Newton. Other than then bring light skin actresses they have nothing else on common. Lol!
David didn't create the Aliens, he figured out a way to make it like that but they already existed as we can see their sculptures already in Prometheus
This was loosely adapted from the comics and videogames of the same name. I recommend watching the rest of the Predator films and Allen: Romulus after watching the sequel to this. Lead actress Sanaa Lathan is also in the first Blade film. This has the same director as the original Mortal Kombat and most of the Resident Evil films. Cliffhanger was released in 1993, the same year as Demolition Man. The predators in this are "Yougbloods", which is the rank for first time hunters. The predator at the end is an "Elder", one who has been on many successful hunts, including a xenomorph queen
So when it comes to the xenomorphs, any bipedal facehugger attaches to will lead to a warrior or drone, but if a facehugger attached to any four legged animal will result in a runner of any variety depending on the animal
The Weyland character was the android in Aliens, and the Weyland scientistbi Alien 3 ( the prison) who came to withdraw the alien out of Ripley's chest for scientific study.
In Aliens he was cut in half but still saved Newt. I read by canon he was repaired/healed but the trauma led him to ask to be deactivated. Lance Hendrickson was also a detective shot in the police station attack in Terminator.
Tara doesn't get to talk about age-the Cliffhanger movie was made in 1993! If she doesn't learn from history, she doesn't get to talk trash about history...
The Visuals of this film for me was top tier when it came out, still looks good today. I do like this film but dont want it canon to Alien franchise. But I'm good with Alt Tales being told
Pro-tip: Don't try to make the timelines make sense in the Aliens/Predators movies. Continuity was never considered during development. This was all before the concept of cinematic universes. None of it will make sense and it'll just frustrate. Just treat each movie as it's own movie.
Should be noted the predators here are young, these they are a bit easier to die as they lack expeirnce. This is yet another testing ground, but this time a temple. A right of passage. -edit- FOrgot they mention it in the movie.
He’s awesome- I remember him from Aliens movies & Pumkinhead- love the sfx in that movie think it was Stan Winston..? Such a wicked practical creature design🙌🏼🎃😜

Bishop Aliens!!!
Are you going to watch “Prey?”
Can you guys watch the cave 2005 please
Sanaa Lathan looks nothing like Thandiwe Newton.
Have to watch all of the other Predator movies after this still. In release order. Yes, even the one many say was the worst movie
A lot of people don't like this one but it's one of my favorites in the franchise.
Facts
same. Idk why they hate it.
Same
Me too bro
It was my first one, so I'm biased.
The Predators are hunters, it's what they do, it's what they live for. The rooms changing is to make the hunt more difficult.
Also, makes it so that it would contain the Aliens better. Allow them to hunt, but not endanger the rest of the world as much. They don't want to spoil their favorite hunting grounds.

In the comic it happens halfway through the story.
When homeboy at the beginning told everyone about his kids, he had waiting for him back at home, he may as well have just hung a sign around his neck saying "dead man walking." That's pretty much telling everyone he's DEFINITELY not making it out of this. Those kids immediately became fatherless
lmfao exactly, everytime someone in a horror film says they have a kid or family at home, that character is gonna get killed.
@salmankhan2739 Lmao, yep, you hold off on that personal info to when the adventure is over and you're safely back to civilization. Like, "Oh man, that was harrowing, I'm gonna head back home to see the family."
Exactly anybody who mentions they have kids they tryna make it back to is a dead man walking 😂
Someone should make a movie with a character like that and have him survive. Because everyone would think he is dead meat.
@taags And then he has to go home to his family in a possible sequel and have to lean on them coming to grips with everything that happened. Maybe it drives a rift in their marriage. They become distant from their children due to PTSD and survivors guilt. Kind of like they did with Ripley in Aliens, but take it a step further with the family actually being alive
Tara is like my mother whenever she watches a movie.
"What is that?" "It's a satellite"
"Where are they?" "It just said where they are"
"What room are they in" "They just said the room"
"I thought that thing was on her face, did she not get hugged?" "You will find out in a second"
Good luck watching AVP 2. I mean that literally. Make sure the brightness setting is up and there are zero glares on the screen.
FR 🤣
The darkest movie ever made...
Yeah but it has the best predator ever seen on screen, Wolf
@@ajbdblin Wolf was a badass motherfucker, a least AvP 2 is not PG 13.
And make sure all light sources are off
52:51 - Queen didn't die because of cold or lack of air, she died because the pressure crushed her. Ocean gets pretty deep in those parts.
Xenos can survive floating in outer space, theres still a chance she could survive
@@SymmbolZS No. Since Ripley squished one with an armored vehicle then xenomorphs are susceptible to pressure. There is no pressure in outer space, so them being able to survive in vacuum does not mean surviving under tons of water is possible.
They really don't recognize him as Bishop from Aliens? Really?
Isn’t it a theory that Bishop is based off of Weyland
@@DTCAllOver is almost canon at this point.
Exactly.
@@DTCAllOverthe real Bishop appears in Alien 3 so this Weiland is for other universe lol i don't know
Bishop was a bot based on Weyland though. The first alien movies was set in the future. This movie goes way back.
You guys forgot 95% of the previous movies so you didn’t have to wait to watch this. 😂
Yeah that’s what I was saying. Should have watched back to back.
You can say whatever you want about this film, but I think everyone agrees on one thing:
31:57 This is one of the most iconic moments in cinematic history (and a f*cking cool wallpaper).
"I think this dude's been in another Alien movie."
Yeah. He played Bishop in Aliens from 1986, and Weyland in Alien 3. They used the same actor all 3 movies, its Lance Henriksen.
Lance Henriksen and Bill Paxton are the only two dudes to ever be killed by an Alien, a Predator and a Terminator
Predators with Adrien Brody is underrated
A lot of people don't like it because that's Bad Bloods, not the proper species. Theyr'e outlaws, outcasts.
But they’re still predators
@@vladyvhv9579 people are Wack because that's my favorite Predator movie after the Original & I saw the Original in the theater the first night it came out.
I feel the same way too. The casting was strong and story just as good and in my opinion its the third best behind Predator and this one.
Please don’t forget about Prey…
That’s a must like the absolute cherry on top for sure
Prey can wait until the end.
Please forget about Predators.
@@thebestcartoonistever idk I thought that one was decent
Next to the OG by far the best.
*Interesting bits about the movie and some answers for Aaron:*

The Alien with the net print has been named Grid (for obvious reasons lol)

Aaron's question about how Lex has the Alien head -- Scar just cut off its exoskeleton so there was presumably no blood in it.
The one problem I have with people bringing up continuity as a critique is whether or not you believe things are happening when they aren't on screen.
Actor is Lance Henriksen. He was in Aliens as Bishop th android, and Alien³ as Bishop and Bishop's designer, Michael Bishop Weyland. So yes, this is his 3rd Alien film. And in this separate continuity, the ancestor of his character in Alien³.
he was also in the 2010 AvP game. Another fun fact is he played a human in Detroit Become Human, a game all about androids lol.
And although AVP is technically separate, you can still merge them as far as the Weylands go (he is Charles Bishop Weyland here, while Guy Pearce is Peter Weyland in Prometheus). Charles would just be an older relative (Peter would be approx. 25 years old during AVP).
Also, he was James Cameron's initial choice for the role of the terminator :P luckily they switched to Arnold, but still gave him a part in the movie. To this day, Henriksen is the only actor whose characters got killed by the Terminator, the Alien AND the Predator.
@@amodelchucrut
Doesn't Paxton also hit the trifecta?

Thandie Newton looks more like Zoe Saldana ... Sanaa Lanthan is her own catagory of beautiful.
Right now them I got mixed up before.
I was thinking this but couldn't remember the name
I always really enjoyed her in this as the final girl. I wish they would've continued. Probably my favorite next to Ripley & Naru.
Lathan. Not Lanthan.
I believe it's true that Thandie actually named her daughter after Ripley.
Really underrated movie! The first fight scene between one xenomorph and two predators is one of the greatest moments in the whole franchise! Well made
can’t believe it’s their 20th anniversary when this film was released
Unbelievable
She looks nothing like Thandiwe, that was a weird call.
5:51 it's a Scottish accent! I'm from Scotland! You guys need to come to over, weather is shite but it's a stunning country

They talk to much and don't pay attention. I absolutely hate whether these 3 react together. If like watching 2 15 year olds
Nah I'd definitely rather have a xeno infestation over the Flood or Necromorphs those 2 are far worse

It's so underrated..the action sequences are smooth af
Same
Agreed but would've been better if they watched the extended/unrated cut.
Agreed, don't understand why this gets so much hate. Maybe because it was pg13?
It is definitely one of my favorites of both franchises
This one introduced me to the franchise & the lead actress deserves to be on the "Ripley" / "Final Girl" list!!
There have been a few instances of humans participating in Yautja hunts. Some have even become members of their culture. Just goes to show that they not only see humans as a worthy challenge, but also as potentially worthy allies

I’m surprised they left that in. And how Tara didn’t even react.
Lmao that’s how you can tell they real ✊🏽😂

31:40 easily one of the dopest reveals to a xenomorph out of all the movies hands down
14:34 - He's the Weyland from ALIEN3 and the Bishop droid from ALIENS.
"it's so old. Like the 80's!"
To me, the 80's were just a few years ago.
That’s Sanaa Lathan, iconic actor!
Sanaa Lathan played Blade's mother in the original "Blade" film...
She's American. Thandiwe Newton is South African.
Thandie Newton is British born in London to a Shona [Zimbabwean] mother and a British father (Cornwall). She a very posh lady as well.
One of my favourite movie's of the franchise. Pure popcorn fun.
My most rewatched out of both series is Aliens and AVP. The others were mostly good for watching once or twice.
I remember the director of this movie saying his predators are "elites" but 2 of them got merked from a single xenomorph lol they are not elites, sir.
Now the Wolf Predator from AVP II, now THAT is an Elite Yautja.
Celtic, Scar, Chopper
Celtic was a Young Blood

In Alien 3, depending on the version. The facehugger impregnated a dog in one version and a cow in the other version.
They weren't killing the queen. They were melting the chains with acid blood.
You’d think that would be obvious, but not when it comes to this lot!
This movie is set in 2004 and you two are trying to guess who the android is 😂😂😂😂
Cmon guys, don’t overthink this silly action movie
Bishop in Allens is supposed to be modeled after Weyland.
7:51 northern lights?.... anyone gonna remind him know they are in Antarctica? 😂
fair enough. the south pole has its own version though
@@kuuyaTJ aurora australis is the southern lights
heh, yeah… you don’t get much less northern than these lights :D
For anyone watching this curious about continuity and plot holes between the 3 franchises, a good way to look at it is that the Alien movies are canon to the Predator universe, but the Predator movies aren’t canon to the Alien universe. So, if it happened in an Alien movie, it happened in the Predator world, but if it happened in a Predator or AvP, it’s safe to assume it isn’t recognized in the Alien world.
Lance Henriksen as Bishop in Aliens and here as Charles Bishop Weyland 😊
People hate on the the next film, Alien Vs Predator: Requiem, but I like it quite a bit. The the human characters pretty much suck but like ya’ll said in this reaction, we don’t watch these movies for the humans, we watch it for the monster fighting action! And I like that the sequel is rated R like the rest of both franchises.
Now you know Sanaa Lathan looks nothing like Thandie
She said the eyes
She played Blades mother. IN the Movie BLADE. FYI.
That's cool, I never realized
Sanaa Lathan was also in another film with Wesley Snipes (Blade) called Disappearing Acts (2000), good movie came out a few years after the first Blade.
Your opinions are something else
“Look at you rolling down the stairs” 😂 this movie was fun to watch in theatres, can’t believe it’s been 20 years.
Sanaa and Thandie look nothing alike. She needs to watch them back to back.
Americans! He's Scottish not irish ! Lol still love you❤❤❤❤
Not only an American mistake, because myself and everyone I know can tell the difference. But the same way so many people doing reactions (infuriatingly) have face blindness, I think there's some part of them that can't perceive specific accents.
@@kayshinae9023I think the face blindness, come from watching so many films in short periods. I think their attention isn't always there or that part of their brain is disengaged.
Cliffhanger came out in 1993.
It's wild that you can't tell the difference between Sanaa Lathan and Thandie Newton. Other than then bring light skin actresses they have nothing else on common. Lol!
How high are these guys today? 😂
David didn't create the Aliens, he figured out a way to make it like that but they already existed as we can see their sculptures already in Prometheus
This doesn’t really fit into the lore but it’s still fun. The second AVP is 90% darkness you can’t really see if it’s a good film or not😂💀
Sucks too because the practical effects do look good when you can see them in AVPR.
Even funnier is there is a cut on youtube where someone has it on 300% brightness and you can bearly see what is going on.
The actor you can’t remember played Bishop, the android, in Aliens
This was loosely adapted from the comics and videogames of the same name. I recommend watching the rest of the Predator films and Allen: Romulus after watching the sequel to this. Lead actress Sanaa Lathan is also in the first Blade film. This has the same director as the original Mortal Kombat and most of the Resident Evil films. Cliffhanger was released in 1993, the same year as Demolition Man. The predators in this are "Yougbloods", which is the rank for first time hunters. The predator at the end is an "Elder", one who has been on many successful hunts, including a xenomorph queen
Antarctica has strict rules of visit. It’s nearly impossible to film there often.
So when it comes to the xenomorphs, any bipedal facehugger attaches to will lead to a warrior or drone, but if a facehugger attached to any four legged animal will result in a runner of any variety depending on the animal
The Weyland character was the android in Aliens, and the Weyland scientistbi Alien 3 ( the prison) who came to withdraw the alien out of Ripley's chest for scientific study.
Lance Heinrichson and yes he was also the Bishop androids in aliens and alien 3. A huge actor in the 80's and 90's
33:06 the best part is the predators are teenagers and this is a passage to young adulthood
Clicked as fast as i could gooooooooood morninnnng rejects 🤩
The fact that yall don’t know Sanaa Lathan is crazy to me 😂
She hasn't Been in a lot of mainstream films besides Blade, the Best Man or this, so it's understandable
@@keithnayo4582she’s been famous before mainstream so what are you even saying
14:52 he was bishop in alien 3
In Aliens he was cut in half but still saved Newt. I read by canon he was repaired/healed but the trauma led him to ask to be deactivated. Lance Hendrickson was also a detective shot in the police station attack in Terminator.
Sanaa snd newton look zero alike lol.
Tara: its really really old it was made in like... the 80's
Me (born in the 80s): 😅😢
Tara doesn't get to talk about age-the Cliffhanger movie was made in 1993! If she doesn't learn from history, she doesn't get to talk trash about history...
Me( born in 79)
Me: Watching the original *Alien* in High School.
@@alyxgriffen5073 You watching this 6ft under ground, how?
Hell... me born in '65!
If you guys watch AvP Requiem, better watch the unrated version because 🐺 is such a cool predator.
And the Predalien aka Chet is also cool. It's a shame they were introduced in such a bad film.
I can't see shit in that movie
@@nielcosme Yep, too dark.
And turn the brightness way, way up.
Yes -- if you do tackle *AvP: Requiem,* go for the full experience. Unrated is the only way.
35:38 Aaron 😂😂
And they left it in post edit
We said it at the same time!
The Visuals of this film for me was top tier when it came out, still looks good today. I do like this film but dont want it canon to Alien franchise. But I'm good with Alt Tales being told
This was the theatrical cut. Should have watched the unrated cut.
35:37 had me dying what he said 😂😂😭
Hi guys! He played Bishop in Aliens.
50:32 LMFAO , Aaron saying he’s light jogging to encourage her and watching the clip again had me rolling on the floor. He ain’t wrong
OMG ..he's Bishop from aliens
Pro-tip: Don't try to make the timelines make sense in the Aliens/Predators movies. Continuity was never considered during development. This was all before the concept of cinematic universes. None of it will make sense and it'll just frustrate. Just treat each movie as it's own movie.
underrated fun time
Love you guys❤ hope you're all doing well! Thank you for the content🔥
Yes that was Bishop from Aliens
As well as Weyland in Alien 3
That's Lance Henriksen. He was in a bunch of movies. He was in The Terminator, Hard Target as well as the movie Pumpkin Head.
We can thank Predator 2 for this...
Should be noted the predators here are young, these they are a bit easier to die as they lack expeirnce. This is yet another testing ground, but this time a temple. A right of passage. -edit- FOrgot they mention it in the movie.
I still dont understand how people who watch movies at normal speed dont know what is happening
skill issue?
Lance Henriksen is great, I knew him best from X-Files and Millennium.
He’s awesome- I remember him from Aliens movies & Pumkinhead- love the sfx in that movie think it was Stan Winston..? Such a wicked practical creature design🙌🏼🎃😜
Will you two actually pay attention this time, or will this be another Predetor 2 reaction?
@SeanPittaway-lb9bg Do you even know what I'm talking about, or are you just yapping?
@@km666 Clown is just yapping, he thinks if he dick rides them they will notice him
They do chatter more than they need to in their reactions.
@@SeanPittaway-lb9bg No, Sean, I'm not crying.
I'm pointing out that you're over your head.
I'm super surprised that they didn't watch Predators before this one.
Team ALIEN or Team PREDATOR???
This should be the only time you root for a predator…
team predator
preditor for this one.
Team Bad Ass Final Girl 😎
Def predator
With all the jump scares Tara gets, I'm pretty sure we're going to one day watch her have a heart attack on cam.
