I saw this in the theater when it came out and we completely lost our shit when the Lost Tribe appeared. Up to this point we always thought the Predators were solitary hunters but this scene introduced us to a whole TRIBE of them! This movie did so much to expand on the mythos of the predators, it really deserves more credit.
*Listen, based solely on the "Predator" movies, everyone knows the Predator can hunt & do great destruction to its enemies / preys all by himself, but analytically since they have a father & a mother, they (just like you) grown-up in a family, therefore naturally it's only logical that they can live | exist | hunt etc in a group too.*
@@blueshit199the ‘Alien vs Predator’ arc plots (not canonical to the Alien franchise according what I saw in the movies ‘Prometheus’ and ‘Alien : Covenant) actually started in comics before that sequel.
"Okay who's next". He can't feel scared anymore. He's emotionally, mentally and physically drained. At this point, he throws in sarcasm and says 'F' it. If I die, I die. Great line.
I feel like that's a bit of a Danny Glover thing. A few of his characters have that in them. Murtaugh from the Lethal Weapon series had at least one of those moments in every film lol
For the people who came here after prey, the comics explain where the pistol came from. “Landing on a small island, Raphael was forced to deal with his mutinous crew after a dispute regarding stolen treasure. Whilst defending himself from his men, the Elder Predator, Greyback emerged and joined the slaughter. Initially attacking Raphael, the latter briefly joined forces with the creature to dispatch the attackers back-to-back. With the crew dead, Adolini prepared to face off against Greyback, before a straggler shot him in the back. Mortally wounded, he gifted the Yautja with his personal flintlock pistol before dying. Greyback proceeded to bury Adoloni out of respect before leaving Earth.”
@@Shanno-B I heard that during the credits to Prey, there was artwork that looked like it depicted the predators went back to the village and wiped them out.
@@xregox7628 yeah they did but the screwed up the story cause that's not how he got the gun. He got it on an island . Look for Greyback on how he got the pistol and you'll get the story
@@Shanno-B that's why i don't think it's the same gun, the french one from prey should belong to the comanches now. I think they just wanted to make a reference to the previous movies of the franchise with that scene
Predator 2 really did add to the lore of the predator. Earlier in the movie the predator wont kill the boy in the cemetery because his gun was a toy. A non-combatant. In this scene, the elder predator rewards Harrigan with a trophy. He won the hunt of sorts. While the Predator keeps skulls as trophies he gives him an old musket as his reward. Also, nice touch that elder predator turns around, at first, to walk away but decides to give him said musket trophy. Good writing.
In fact, this predator who gives him the trophy was a personal friend of the predator who died! Then he spends several minutes in disbelief at what happened, trying to absorb the fact... In the end, he decided to give the trophy to the man who killed his friend, a strange attitude for us, but totally understandable in their culture! They remind me a lot of the Klingons from Star Trek!
Rick from Pawn Stars: "It looks authentic...whered you get it from?" Glover: "The leader of an Alien horde gave it to me after I bested one of his champions" Rick: "Cool story...Ill give ya 5 bucks for it"
Rick: “It’s a bit outside my wheelhouse, but I’ve got a friend who’s an expert on artifacts reclaimed from alien races. I’ll give him a call and have him come down and appraise it.”
1:07 One of my favorite details is how the elder almost walks off before changing his mind and acknowledging to himself that Harrigan truly does deserve a trophy for his accomplishment. He hunted down and successfully killed a predator on his own, and according to their code, he earned a prize. I especially love that Harrigan doesn’t reject the reward, and you can see him appreciating it in the next scene 😂
everyone can buy that a middle age cop in california with zero hand to hand combat experience can take on a predetor on its own ship and win yet when a character is showned to learn and grow and out smart the predetor and comes from culture of hunters everyone calls that unrealistic. lol
@@ibah6 Personally I just didn't like the choreography in Prey. Didn't mind that she could take on a Predator (especially one that had been whittled down by like thirty other people across the movie), it just looked silly the way she was dancing around like an anime character in the process, while taking direct hits that had killed other people in the movie already.
@@WhoTookPlockrock Nah dude, those other people were literally stabbed. I can't remember anyone who was just hit and suddenly died. And she was just a lot more agile and quick. All she did is move around the predator a couple times. You mostly exaggerating. And you can't tell me that predator 2 looks realistic lol, it's like those old 1950s Godzilla movies. This movie and fight is so understanding. But it did come from that era of campy fight scenes. It just looks silly seeing a old detective fight the predator. And that ridiculous stab in the stomach is what killed the predator tho smh
I really don't understand why people didn't like this Predator movie. I'd say it was decent. Danny Glover did an amazing job here. His acting was excellent.
Lol no. Maybe not talked about as much anymore, but the movie made a big splash when it came out and was popular for a very long time. Never heard anyone bashing it.
@@FuzedBox He is correct.Many peoples even until today definitelly undarrete this film.I never understand why.In my opinion it is one of the best sequels ever made-in fact it could be used as exemplar manual for how good sequel can be made.But I never heard anyone from those haters to actually state any racional reasons for why they dont like it.It often ends up that their only actual reason for talking negatively about this film is merely absense of Arnold,which is ridiculous "reason" to reject entire film.But with time this sequel is finally receving prize it deserves-especially after more and more guys start to realize that this is actually the only really great continuation of Predator in films ever...which is strange.Is it really so hard to make good film with Predator?
This is one of the greatest films ever made. I don't care what anyone says. People who lack vision fail to see how artistically amazing and far ahead of it's time this movie is.
I don't know about it being one of the greatest films ever, but it's definitely gold for sure. I saw the reviews online years ago giving it a 3/5, and after having just watched it myself, I'm scratching my head over that one. I say it deserves an 8 or a 9 out of 10! I kinda thought Mike's friends had their deaths somewhat rushed, but that's in line with the original, and it's the only potential narrative flaw I could see.
FUN FACT: For those who don't know, since actor Danny Glover is an avid fan of the L.A. Lakers, he convinced the players (at that time) to play the role of the other Predators who appear in this iconic scene.
I'm still surprised to this day that this sequel didn't get more recognition. I thought it was far darker than the original but the score and expansion of the Predator mythology was terrific IMO. No way you'd get a violent sequel like this today.
which is why this movie is the best sequel in this franchise. had watched both "Predators" and "The Predator", and while they're both entertaining to a certain extent, they just didn't have the heart-and-soul that "Predator 2" had. can't comment on "Prey" yet, since I haven't checked it out yet
I love that PREY makes a call-forward to this moment. How it winds up in the hands of the Hunters after Naru gained possession of it is up for the audience to decide, but the fact that it ties the film into Predator 2, a movie that doesn't get as much recognition compared to the other entries in the series, was a pleasant surprise. It also gives even more impact and credence to Harrigan's final line in the film as well, knowing what we know now. They will, indeed, be back.
If another predator managed to hunt Naru, it must have been a memorable hunt for the predator to keep the trophy for almost 300 years. Maybe it was Greyback (hunter who gives the gun) tho i dunno how long predators live.
The predator from Prey seem to be one of the bad bloods (super predators) from Predators the other warring factions on their homeworld. I figured cause Prey predator came there by itself while in the end credits three other ships approach would figure that are the typical predators we know wanting to see what could have killed one of their rivals or the bad bloods themselves coming for payback. Again interested to see where it takes but will always remember the OG dark horse comic that this pistol backstory was originally.
everyone can buy that a middle age cop in california with zero hand to hand combat can take on a predetor on its own ship and win yet when a character is showned to learn and grow and out smart the predetor everyone calls that unrealistic. lol
@@ibah6 also take into account the body difference one is a small person the other a large grown man. It's been set up from the first predator movie that even the strongest men Dutch struggled against the Predators. How can a small person have a shot even with prep time lest we forget Dutch had prep time and almost lost, it was only due to the Predators ego that he won but barley. I think it would have been better if her and her brother took it down she represents the brain and him the brawns cause he even said she sees things he doesn't. Would have been easier to accept them a small person overtaking a predator just cause plot.
I was like 5 years old when I first watched this in the early 90's and still remember this scene vividly. Seeing all those predators appear was equal parts cool and terrifying.
I also watched this movie when I was like 8 years old, definitely not made for that age category lol seeing the columbians hanging from the ceiling was disturbing lol
The fact that the Predator gave him something he's had on him for almost 300 years makes this scene pretty deep. He was like smiling the whole time too. I wonder who that badass was back in 1715.
Anthony Daniels he probably didn't like the predator that got killed, thought he was a jackass and so he Gave him that gun as sort of thank you for finally killing this bastard, I was about to do it myself, dude got on my last nerve
Its raphael adolimi predator chalenge raphael becouse of his good skill but some enemy shot raphael in the back and raphael gave his gun to the predator and said take it for more info search it
A dying pirate was the one who gave him the gun. The predator and the pirate were going to fight but the pirate was shot in the back by a coward and mortally wounded. Predators take opportunities to fight individuals they deem worthy in fair and honorable combat very seriously. As you can imagine this pissed the predator off immensely because it had been denied fair and honorable combat, so the coward was very quickly killed. The pirate and predator had developed respect for one another, so before he died the pirate presented his personal pistol to the predator and said only one line that the predator repeats here - "Take it."
It is definitely one of the coolest moments in film. I freaked out as a kid when all the different Predators appeared and it is still very satisfying to watch now.
Like in the Samurai culture, it is considered the ultimate defeat of an opponent (and slap in the face) to be defeated not only by a lesser opponent, but by your OWN weapon. If you could not hold on to your weapon, you were not worthy of living. Same for the Predator, Harrigan beat the city hunter with his OWN weapon. That to the elder was worthy of respect and a token of that respect was his prized flintlock pistol. He didn't live 300 years or more and through endless hunts to be a cheat and certainly not obviously his clan's leader as the other Predators moved towards him in a respectful manner with a slight nod of permission to leave his presence.
@@deathstrike did you ever hear the story of how he got that flintlock pistol? He was on a hunt on Earth, and came across the man who he was there to hunt in the first place: a pirate captain, a fierce warrior who nobody in their right mind crossed. The two were getting ready to enter hand to hand combat, when they were ambushed on all sides by a large mercenary party, there to claim the bounty on the pirate captain. It became clear very quickly the two had to work together to defeat this threat, or both of them would die. So the Predator chief and pirate captain fought side-by-side to defeat the mercenaries. When it was all said and done, the two prepared once again to enter one on one combat. Before this could happen, one of The mercenaries raised up from the ground and shot the pirate through the back. The predator quickly killed this mercenary, but the wound was fatal to the pirate. The dying pirate looked at the Predator, took his prized pistol & tossed it to the Predator. "Take it" he says in a raspy voice, then dies.
@@Brianna-ys7qp I have read that story and it is a good example of who or what is deemed worthy in honorable combat. That pistol is not only priceless, it was a nod to both the Predator's foes for their ingenuity and courage. Like Achilles said to Hector "you gave the boy the honor of your sword". So the Predator gave the honor of his clan to Harrigan.
@@deathstrike he must have really thought highly of the pirate captain to have kept his pistol as a prized possession for nearly 300 years, despite the fact that this was a failed hunt for him. For sure, that shows how much respect he had a for Harrigan after he defeated the Predator that had targeted him. They live in a society that is dictated by Honor. Whether one is a Yautcha, human, or something else, bravery and skill command respect. I really like that about them.
Key point for the Predator timelines. This was the first time that a Yautja had been defeated by a human in direct hand-to-hand combat. Also, the first time one had been tracked back to his ship by a human hunter. This is directly after a Yautja had been forced to suicide after being bested in a fight (Predator 1). While humans had been known as challenging prey in the past due to our cunning, we had unfortunately been degrading in quality as prey. Those two hunts propelled humanity back to the top of the soft meat prey category.
Great points my man. This is why I find Predator 2 to be superior than the first because it expands on that lore. Danny Glover not only pursues the city hunter for miles but fights one in hand to hand, survives and kills it all while being mentally and physically exhausted at this point.
@@Lestat21500 My friend here are some facts wether you like it or not; 1.This officer harrigan did not track the predator,there was a team led by keys from US air force that was tracking the predator. 2.The predator was intentionally leading harrigan to the final battle ground after the train massacre.This is evident where you can see him wait for harrigan to spot him on top of buildings then move to a certain direction.The objective was to have the cop in one on one where the predator has advantage. 3.The UV rays that was installed in the slaughter house by the tracking team turned out to be the game changer exposing the predator. 4.The predator that HARRIGAN was fighting was an armature not blooded.
@@billyongus344 he was a blooded yautja he clearly had earned a xenomorph skull to his trophy collection and he also had the plasma caster, so that meant he was already a blooded yautja that went through the ritual
You can hear Greyback say “Angel” after Harrigan reads out the year on the flintlock. That’s featured in the dark horse comic that tells the story of Raphael Andolini and Golden Angel which is greyback himself all those years ago. I love this movie and this scene! ❤
Idk if he said "angel", I think it was probably some sort of old grumbling predator dad noise of sorts. Ya know, it's funny the more I repay it it sounds like after harrigan reads out "1715" greyback says "yessir" as he walks off lol. To each their own
Not bloodthirsty those are the bad bloods the renegades that are kill addicted and don't care about honor they only care about killing as much as possible damn how they'll do it. Yautja society is extremely honor driven, and once you betray the code you'll either get killed or commit suicide. If you flee you become a bad blood and get hunted by Enforcers which are pretty much their super cops.
This is what made the Predators so awesome for me. The sense of honor, being able to acknowledge a proven hunter, and rewarding such skill and bravery with a timeless treasure given to them as a gift. Plus, they kill mothafuckin' Aliens!
Impressive: The music and the slow parade past the head Predator...had a very natural, tribal feel. The chanting, within the music was so well placed/timed...REALLY well done.
It was a damn good movie, going to an urban setting after the first movie was set in the jungle was ballsy and it totally worked. The cast was almost perfect too. But as good as the first one? No, sorry my friend. The 1st one was a 10 out of 10 imo, id give the 2nd one a 9 out of 10. I actually wasnt a huge fan of casting Danny Glover as Harrigan. I think they could have gotten a better, more athletic actor for the role.
@@manhalen7046 he was spot on for the role a cop not a super hero just a regular hot headed cop a bit like die hard just a regular cop braving the beast in the urban jungle predator never was huge box office potential way to brutal saw that i was 11 had nightmares for a while that mixed with alien ... pred 2 was a slightly better if i may more context more stories but the pred 1 is an action horror masterpiece but as hollow as action movies in the 80s
@@gabrielmistergab1664 The City Hunter still found him as a worthy opponent when he watched Harrigan blast some of the Columbians away in the Beginning.
I think Greyback gave Harrigan the pistol bc he reminded him of Raphael Adolini. If you notice he was going to leave but takes a moment to turn around and stare Harrigan in the face, just before he reaches for Raphael’s pistol and hands it to him. He probably saw a resemblance and held respect for a past warrior to a current warrior who managed to defeat his own kind. If Raphael were to have fought Greyback I think Raphael would’ve won, but Greyback will never know the outcome bc he was robbed of his challenge. Giving Harrigan the pistol was him letting go of the past while simultaneously showing great honor to Harrigan
Raphael would have died were it not for Greyback helping him, and still died even after. How do you figure he'd be able to beat a Predator in melee combat?
This is an Epic scene; were the elder rewards the human for defeating one of his own warriors in battle. This is an honorable gesture by the Grand Elder himself! Awesome clip fellows! 👍
Consider that to be an Elder, that Yautja had to cleanse an entire Xenomorph (Alien from the Aliens franchise) Hive with no more than 2 helpers and bring back a Queen's skull as proof. Harrigan got respect from someone with that level of being a badass!!
I liked the gift of the spear given to the girl in AVP1 Shame she wasn't allowed to keep it as its shown in the display cabinet at Project Stargazer in the last Predator!
I saw this on opening night in my little local theater in TN. The audience almost lost it when all those Predators uncloaked. So did I. I don't give a shit what anyone says, Predator 2 is a more than worthy sequel.
Predator 2 is really a gem. Different from the first but it's in a league of its own. It didn't try to remake the first like most of the sequels. No military guys but another badass played by a solid Danny Glover. It had some epic visuals, scenes (nudity, horror, violence and the gore), expanded and enriched the predator universe.. Unfortunately it's really underrated. People should learn to appreciate this movie more.
It's 2022 august and still this scene gives me goosebumps. Predator 1, Predator 2 and Prey are the true cannon. This movie up to this point deserves ovation. These where the golden days where story telling was way up there. The franchise needs a new crew of writers and scenes on the aliens universe. It's a great franchise with a good future if it lands on the hands of good directors and writers. We have the tech to do anything we want but stories requires THINKING. Outstanding movie as usual. This never gets old. I hope there is a remastering and revision of this movie with current special effects.
Prey? Puhlease...Feminist drivel....A 105 pound girl defeats five full grown adult males, AT THE SAME TIME? Too unbelievable....It was an average movie at best, it was trying to push more woke 'women power' nonsense instead of a good solid Predator movie....You need your art spoon fed to you son...
No. The writing was terrible for Predator 2. I still like the movie, dont get me wrong. But it has awful writing, the plot doesn't make sense, the acting is atrocious, tons of cheesy one-liners, pointless gratuitous nudity (not that I mind, but it's still a common tactic used to help shield a crappy storyline), etc. The costume, makeup, & special effects tho are incredible. Still an underrated classic 90s B-rate sci-fi action flick, imo. Most sci-fi action movies in the 80s & 90s were like this. Nostalgia is a hellava drug. Everything that came from your childhood is always gonna seem better, bc a child has no responsibilities, & sees the world through rose tinted glasses, so everything period seems better when you're a child, it creates unfair biases. If this movie came out today the same ppl praising it, would hate it.
@@nigelsookram882 the Titan beat hulk 1v1 in a mixed martial arts beatdown and is known to be stronger than thor, a predators beat option against him would be to hit that self destruct button quick.
Fun fact: when it comes to predators the older ones are the most dangerous. They can live for centuries and have centuries of experience hunting more tools than younger predators. The leader of this group is one of the older ones
Reminds me off the quote fear the old man in a profession where men die young. Yautja can easily become a 1000 which means you survived countless hunts. Their Elders and Ancients are extremely skilled.
Also, consider that to attain the rank of an Elite Hunter which the Clan Leaders for the Yautja are drawn from, they must brave a Xenomorph Hive with no more than two helpers and bring back the Queen's Skull as a trophy. This elder Yautja is probably more badass than any 3 or 4 Hunters in the room put together on his bad days.
Just gotta love the way the rest of the clan stands there firmly and not even make a sound then carry away the City Hunter. Shows the level of honour and respect they have towards Harrigan.
Look at all those amazing suits and props. They made all of those just to have them on screen for one minute. The amount of dedication to do that is something I can respect about that one scene. Movie is still great overall.
Why did the predators bother to put their cloaks back on? Predator 1: "Okay guys, we got the dead hunter, now let's start up the ship and get off this planet." Predator 2: "Yeah! But let's operate the controls while we're invisible!" Predator 1: "...You're fucking weird, man. But alright."
whateverdudezb i think its a thing about them keeping themselves sacred to strangers eyes or humans they respect their culture so much they dont want humans to get a hold of them or their tech thats why they self destruct when they see they about to loose to the opponent
@@adriel88_ I'm necro'ing an old as fuck comment, but I'd just like to point out that Predators don't self destruct to keep others from having their technology. They self-destruct when they are about to lose because losing is the ultimate shame in a society built around the idea that every member must be a blooded apex hunter. In the eyes of the Predators, they are the ultimate hunters and a member of the apex race doesn't "lose". The ultimate shame for a Predator is to die while their prey lives.
I had wondered. Before they were observing unnoticed...but now they're just walking around the corner to leave. Probably just for audience entertainment. I do like the effect.
@@OptimisticCynic715 I like to imagine it's because they're mourning for their fallen brother and want to be alone. The elder predator and the others is basically a father and sons hunting trip
When I was young I totally freaked out when I saw the alien xenomorph Skull. I couldn't believe at the time they were both in the same continuity. Geeked out.
Iconic ending! While Predator (1987) has gone on to be recognized as a straight up classic and is definitely the better movie, I’d argue that Predator 2 was a good sequel that was groundbreaking in its own way. 👍 I know that Danny Glover’s character DOES show up again in a Predator short story collection, but it would’ve been great to see him on the big screen again. Mike Harrigan was awesome!
(Predators appear and take the dead predator away) Chief Predator: Poor, Brad....Well not really...I didn't like him anyway. (Throws the gun to Danny Glover.) Take it...Good job.
The urban Predator was younger and bolder than his jungle-based predecessor, taking greater risks and showing off. He was more a daredevil warrior than a thrill-kill assassin.
AlienatingPredation Yet he managed to acquire multiple trophies of different alien species. One being a Xenomorph the other being an alien like T-Rex. My opinion? This "urban Predator" would demolish the jungle one.
Harrigan learns how to use the Yautja's own weapons against it and learns quickly. Obviously if Harrigan didn't have the disc he probably wouldn't have survived. I'm just impressed Harrigan was able to go toe to toe with a predator in melee combat. And like others have said, Danny Glover does a fantastic job in this final scene showing how drained he is but is just filled with anger from the loss of his best buddy and that's what drove him to pursue the City Hunter and ultimately kill it with its own weapon.
@@kevinrodriguez9701 I doubt the tribe knew the whole story up til this point, they showed up, saw that a human had killed their boy, took the body and gave the human a trophy for his victory.
@@jonathanbradley4896 Nah, the tribe were watching in the shadows the whole time but from the ship, always in comms with the predator on the loose outside. They'll have been expecting some shit to go down.
Even tho i dig the idea from the comic book which was made after this film, i would like to think that the grayback learned some human language after centuries of hunting on earth. That's what i always thought.
@@KaraokeNig well he says "engine" at the end and City hunter seem to know how to use human language in the proper context so I think is possible that the whole tribe knew human language thanks to their elder.
Predator 2 actually became a classic and did well with time and the critics were idiots acting all high minded as if this film was supposed to be like "Gone with the Wind" or something like that. It's stunningly beautiful as was AVP 2004.. Prey is nowhere near as good as these films if you haven't seen it but it's ok and nothing else with very weak CGI.
if you don't get the gun, it's a refence to a comic where a pirate and a predator team up and become... sort of friends. The pirate gives the pistol to the predator as a thank you,
Adriel Omar Díaz the comic was meant to be Predator 3, that's why the writers put the gun in the film because they wanted the sequel to be about how the gun came about. But because Predator 3 never happened they turned the idea into a comic instead.
I have seen "Predator 2" like 50 times since my childhood. Always loved it for being different, evolving the lore but still feeling like a true Predator movie. Showed the movie to a friend who liked the first one and never saw the sequel. He fell asleep 20 minutes in and after 40 minutes he turned the movie off. Something died in me that evening.
It's a classic in my view a brilliant film and stands up to the original but completely different. AVP 2004 is another classic for me even though the critics mostly slammed these films the idiots that they are thinking all films should be as good as "Gone With The Wind."lol.
with predator 2 you had to have grown up with it. I’ve watched it numerous times. It’s a flawed movie but part of my childhood. So there will always be a place for it with me. Don’t worry your not alone.
@@Pueyoftheworld Hahaha. To be honest: He already fell asleep during the Indiana Jones movies, which he never saw and mostly looked at his smartphone. So i just don't care anymore.
@@callmepistol A couple of weeks ago i was drunk and it was night and hot as hell outside. Perfect timing for "Predator 2". The sweat oozes out of every pore in that movie. Harrigan changing his clothes in his office, Paxton sweating like crazy in his suit. This and "Apocalypse Now" are two of the best movies that can really suck you into the heat of the moment, lol.
Just watching this scene and reading what you wrote 5 years ago. Wow. It seems the Predator is getting the sequels and attention it deserves after 25 years. Crazy stuff. The ideas where there all along.
City Hunter: "Imma go hunting. See you guys in a bit." Greyback and other Predators: "So you expect us to wait in the car while you go and have fun? Sounds good - bring back lots of trophies!" City Hunter: "Will do!"
the significance of that pistol was supposed to be for the script of the 3rd predator film which never happened and was going to be set back in the early 1700's which later made it into the comics where it was explained.
@@Eduardo-mr7bj Probably because this film was underrated and didn't do well at the box, and 20th Century Fox cancelled sequel, so Dark Horse turned the story into a comic instead called 'Predator 1718
With one moment when the ancient Greyback Predator threw the old pistol to Mike could've set off a whole slew of Predator prequel spin-offs set before the original film. Imagine a Predator film set during the Spanish-American War, during WW1 or WW2, etc. There's so many possibilities that don't clash with the original film.... instead we got Shane Black's The Predator WHICH SUCKS HARD... Seriously, we need to go back to basics and just have the hunt. No twists, no turns, just classic hunts. Greyback Predator was the key to this franchise.
@@joshuastrittmatter4188 The only modern Predator movie that doesn't suck. Predator, Predator 2, and Predators make a good trilogy. Just ignore everything else.
I think that this is the absolute best scene in any Predator movie. Always gave me chills. As a young teenager, I loved this film based on this ending alone, because it was the first hint at the shared AvP Uuniverse from the comics (the xenomorph skull on the wall) and the fact that we actually saw 9 other Predators at the end....and the gun trophy is just the capper on a great scene.
@@KaraokeNig he 100% was the city hunter AND the elder (Greyback) what a legend Kevin was, such a tall man but potrayed this creature with such grace ♡
SPOILER FROM PREY (2022) 1:27 *Thank God the director confirmed that the gun in PREY is not the same gun of this scene, they are just the same model, so the predator 1718 comic is still canon*
+Batesmotel1960 Would've been just a bit better if he'd held up the blade while saying it, just to make it clear he just did what could be considered the impossible.
+sonrouge trust me after going trough hell just to kill one single predator and almost loosing your life to a terrifying beast and suddenly out of nowhere you see this whole clan appears and a pissed elder looking at you dead at the eyes like you may killed one of my young ones but I don't fuck around trust me bro you shit your pants and drop that blade in seconds from instant froze fear lol
I think the predator respects the human species more than any enemy they ever faced...they went from hunting humans for sport to hunting humans for knowledge and to learn more and evolve...amazing creatures...i love the alien series but the predator is the ultimate hunter..
One of the rare occasions, where a sequel to a great movie doesn't suck.

That and he wasn't armed and was clearly exhausted. Not much sport in it.
Pretty much! The Predators always have a hard-on for warriors that show no fear.
I saw this in the theater when it came out and we completely lost our shit when the Lost Tribe appeared. Up to this point we always thought the Predators were solitary hunters but this scene introduced us to a whole TRIBE of them! This movie did so much to expand on the mythos of the predators, it really deserves more credit.
Did you saw "Prey"? Watch it, the final scene may have a surprise for you
this movie basically set up the whole AvP franchise yet it's like the most overlooked Predator movie
*Listen, based solely on the "Predator" movies, everyone knows the Predator can hunt & do great destruction to its enemies / preys all by himself, but analytically since they have a father & a mother, they (just like you) grown-up in a family, therefore naturally it's only logical that they can live | exist | hunt etc in a group too.*
Absolutely agree with you
@@blueshit199the ‘Alien vs Predator’ arc plots (not canonical to the Alien franchise according what I saw in the movies ‘Prometheus’ and ‘Alien : Covenant) actually started in comics before that sequel.

"Okay who's next". He can't feel scared anymore. He's emotionally, mentally and physically drained. At this point, he throws in sarcasm and says 'F' it. If I die, I die. Great line.
Thats me, always🤣
I feel like that's a bit of a Danny Glover thing. A few of his characters have that in them. Murtaugh from the Lethal Weapon series had at least one of those moments in every film lol

For the people who came here after prey, the comics explain where the pistol came from. “Landing on a small island, Raphael was forced to deal with his mutinous crew after a dispute regarding stolen treasure. Whilst defending himself from his men, the Elder Predator, Greyback emerged and joined the slaughter. Initially attacking Raphael, the latter briefly joined forces with the creature to dispatch the attackers back-to-back.
With the crew dead, Adolini prepared to face off against Greyback, before a straggler shot him in the back. Mortally wounded, he gifted the Yautja with his personal flintlock pistol before dying. Greyback proceeded to bury Adoloni out of respect before leaving Earth.”
Not anymore. The comic got retconned.
Ok but how did it end up in prey????? Unless they Grey came back for it ???
@@Shanno-B I heard that during the credits to Prey, there was artwork that looked like it depicted the predators went back to the village and wiped them out.
@@xregox7628 yeah they did but the screwed up the story cause that's not how he got the gun. He got it on an island . Look for Greyback on how he got the pistol and you'll get the story
@@Shanno-B that's why i don't think it's the same gun, the french one from prey should belong to the comanches now. I think they just wanted to make a reference to the previous movies of the franchise with that scene
Predator 2 really did add to the lore of the predator. Earlier in the movie the predator wont kill the boy in the cemetery because his gun was a toy. A non-combatant. In this scene, the elder predator rewards Harrigan with a trophy. He won the hunt of sorts. While the Predator keeps skulls as trophies he gives him an old musket as his reward. Also, nice touch that elder predator turns around, at first, to walk away but decides to give him said musket trophy. Good writing.
He gives Harrigan a nice retirement. Gotta be worth over a million at auction.
In fact, this predator who gives him the trophy was a personal friend of the predator who died! Then he spends several minutes in disbelief at what happened, trying to absorb the fact...
In the end, he decided to give the trophy to the man who killed his friend, a strange attitude for us, but totally understandable in their culture! They remind me a lot of the Klingons from Star Trek!
Rick from Pawn Stars: "It looks authentic...whered you get it from?"
Glover: "The leader of an Alien horde gave it to me after I bested one of his champions"
Rick: "Cool story...Ill give ya 5 bucks for it"
Rick: do u mind if I have my expert take a look at it and give u a lowball estimate?
Rick: “It’s a bit outside my wheelhouse, but I’ve got a friend who’s an expert on artifacts reclaimed from alien races. I’ll give him a call and have him come down and appraise it.”

I always thought that lazer sound was the coolest of the series
1:07 One of my favorite details is how the elder almost walks off before changing his mind and acknowledging to himself that Harrigan truly does deserve a trophy for his accomplishment. He hunted down and successfully killed a predator on his own, and according to their code, he earned a prize. I especially love that Harrigan doesn’t reject the reward, and you can see him appreciating it in the next scene 😂
everyone can buy that a middle age cop in california with zero hand to hand combat experience can take on a predetor on its own ship and win yet when a character is showned to learn and grow and out smart the predetor and comes from culture of hunters everyone calls that unrealistic. lol
@@ibah6 Well people are whiners. They complain about Naru and ignore that Dutch and Harrigan fighting a predator is equally unrealistic.
@@artloverivy Agreed also love you videos dude!
@@ibah6 Personally I just didn't like the choreography in Prey. Didn't mind that she could take on a Predator (especially one that had been whittled down by like thirty other people across the movie), it just looked silly the way she was dancing around like an anime character in the process, while taking direct hits that had killed other people in the movie already.
@@WhoTookPlockrock Nah dude, those other people were literally stabbed. I can't remember anyone who was just hit and suddenly died. And she was just a lot more agile and quick. All she did is move around the predator a couple times. You mostly exaggerating. And you can't tell me that predator 2 looks realistic lol, it's like those old 1950s Godzilla movies. This movie and fight is so understanding. But it did come from that era of campy fight scenes. It just looks silly seeing a old detective fight the predator. And that ridiculous stab in the stomach is what killed the predator tho smh
I really don't understand why people didn't like this Predator movie. I'd say it was decent. Danny Glover did an amazing job here. His acting was excellent.
By that point he was getting too old for that shit. The Predator handed him a Lethal Weapon.
Really the only good sequel until PREY came out. It took 30 fuckin years for them to reboot the Predator correctly
It was MORE than "decent" it was GREAT movie.
Danny Glover is a good actor. Too bad he don’t make movies like these….
@@ktryushi4744 lol what? What does that he “he don’t make movies like these”? How? How does he not at all? He was EXCELLENT in this film entirely so!

@@FuzedBox He is correct.Many peoples even until today definitelly undarrete this film.I never understand why.In my opinion it is one of the best sequels ever made-in fact it could be used as exemplar manual for how good sequel can be made.But I never heard anyone from those haters to actually state any racional reasons for why they dont like it.It often ends up that their only actual reason for talking negatively about this film is merely absense of Arnold,which is ridiculous "reason" to reject entire film.But with time this sequel is finally receving prize it deserves-especially after more and more guys start to realize that this is actually the only really great continuation of Predator in films ever...which is strange.Is it really so hard to make good film with Predator?
FuzedBox I think it was considered a box office dud when it was released
This is one of the greatest films ever made. I don't care what anyone says. People who lack vision fail to see how artistically amazing and far ahead of it's time this movie is.
Yup well said
OK, maybe a bit much, but it was good and a worthy sequel. The scene above was great, as was Danny Glover, who pretty much held the movie together.
I don't know about it being one of the greatest films ever, but it's definitely gold for sure. I saw the reviews online years ago giving it a 3/5, and after having just watched it myself, I'm scratching my head over that one. I say it deserves an 8 or a 9 out of 10!
I kinda thought Mike's friends had their deaths somewhat rushed, but that's in line with the original, and it's the only potential narrative flaw I could see.
The movie sucks.

I'm still surprised to this day that this sequel didn't get more recognition. I thought it was far darker than the original but the score and expansion of the Predator mythology was terrific IMO. No way you'd get a violent sequel like this today.
which is why this movie is the best sequel in this franchise. had watched both "Predators" and "The Predator", and while they're both entertaining to a certain extent, they just didn't have the heart-and-soul that "Predator 2" had.
can't comment on "Prey" yet, since I haven't checked it out yet
Get better with time this sequel
I think that was the pistol from prey what do you think
Definitely underrated movie
@@evanritz8807 duh
I love that PREY makes a call-forward to this moment. How it winds up in the hands of the Hunters after Naru gained possession of it is up for the audience to decide, but the fact that it ties the film into Predator 2, a movie that doesn't get as much recognition compared to the other entries in the series, was a pleasant surprise.
It also gives even more impact and credence to Harrigan's final line in the film as well, knowing what we know now.
They will, indeed, be back.
The end credits hint at it when you see a picture of like three predator ships flying over the village, I think they coming for revenge
If another predator managed to hunt Naru, it must have been a memorable hunt for the predator to keep the trophy for almost 300 years.
Maybe it was Greyback (hunter who gives the gun) tho i dunno how long predators live.
The predator from Prey seem to be one of the bad bloods (super predators) from Predators the other warring factions on their homeworld. I figured cause Prey predator came there by itself while in the end credits three other ships approach would figure that are the typical predators we know wanting to see what could have killed one of their rivals or the bad bloods themselves coming for payback. Again interested to see where it takes but will always remember the OG dark horse comic that this pistol backstory was originally.
everyone can buy that a middle age cop in california with zero hand to hand combat can take on a predetor on its own ship and win yet when a character is showned to learn and grow and out smart the predetor everyone calls that unrealistic. lol
@@ibah6 also take into account the body difference one is a small person the other a large grown man. It's been set up from the first predator movie that even the strongest men Dutch struggled against the Predators. How can a small person have a shot even with prep time lest we forget Dutch had prep time and almost lost, it was only due to the Predators ego that he won but barley.
I think it would have been better if her and her brother took it down she represents the brain and him the brawns cause he even said she sees things he doesn't. Would have been easier to accept them a small person overtaking a predator just cause plot.
I was like 5 years old when I first watched this in the early 90's and still remember this scene vividly. Seeing all those predators appear was equal parts cool and terrifying.
I also watched this movie when I was like 8 years old, definitely not made for that age category lol seeing the columbians hanging from the ceiling was disturbing lol
Same was like 5 when this came out 😂 watched it with my dad
_"Okay..._ who's next?"
My guy had given up all hope! 😭
Lucky him, this wasn't a Bad Blood clan. These Predators knew honor and respect.
My sister and I used to watch this movie on television every Halloween. Way too young to see this stuff, but man did it have an impact on our tastes.
The fact that the Predator gave him something he's had on him for almost 300 years makes this scene pretty deep. He was like smiling the whole time too. I wonder who that badass was back in 1715.
Anthony Daniels he probably didn't like the predator that got killed, thought he was a jackass and so he Gave him that gun as sort of thank you for finally killing this bastard, I was about to do it myself, dude got on my last nerve
How can you tell he's smiling????
@@tilesetter1953 the look while he does the haha to Harrigan
Its raphael adolimi predator chalenge raphael becouse of his good skill but some enemy shot raphael in the back and raphael gave his gun to the predator and said take it for more info search it
A dying pirate was the one who gave him the gun. The predator and the pirate were going to fight but the pirate was shot in the back by a coward and mortally wounded. Predators take opportunities to fight individuals they deem worthy in fair and honorable combat very seriously. As you can imagine this pissed the predator off immensely because it had been denied fair and honorable combat, so the coward was very quickly killed. The pirate and predator had developed respect for one another, so before he died the pirate presented his personal pistol to the predator and said only one line that the predator repeats here - "Take it."
I know it's a geeky as hell thing to say, but this is probably in my list of absolute favorite moments in films.
No me too it's just the best scene in film history
+LordSear1982 shit I watch it everyday I don't get tierd of this scene hope we get something like this on the new predator movie coming up
I'm 33, male, and almost started crying at the end of this scene because this shit is so intense. Nothing like this has happened before.
BloodylocksBathory yep. One was bad enough. Excellent step up of the lore
It is definitely one of the coolest moments in film. I freaked out as a kid when all the different Predators appeared and it is still very satisfying to watch now.
The vintage pistol this Predator having an arm sliced off prequel to Prey is unbelievable plus these Predators have a code of honour.
This movie has aged like a fine wine, now that Prey has arrived to freshen up the franchise.
Danny: Ok who's next
Predator: I don't know
Like in the Samurai culture, it is considered the ultimate defeat of an opponent (and slap in the face) to be defeated not only by a lesser opponent, but by your OWN weapon. If you could not hold on to your weapon, you were not worthy of living. Same for the Predator, Harrigan beat the city hunter with his OWN weapon. That to the elder was worthy of respect and a token of that respect was his prized flintlock pistol. He didn't live 300 years or more and through endless hunts to be a cheat and certainly not obviously his clan's leader as the other Predators moved towards him in a respectful manner with a slight nod of permission to leave his presence.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@deathstrike did you ever hear the story of how he got that flintlock pistol? He was on a hunt on Earth, and came across the man who he was there to hunt in the first place: a pirate captain, a fierce warrior who nobody in their right mind crossed. The two were getting ready to enter hand to hand combat, when they were ambushed on all sides by a large mercenary party, there to claim the bounty on the pirate captain. It became clear very quickly the two had to work together to defeat this threat, or both of them would die. So the Predator chief and pirate captain fought side-by-side to defeat the mercenaries. When it was all said and done, the two prepared once again to enter one on one combat. Before this could happen, one of The mercenaries raised up from the ground and shot the pirate through the back. The predator quickly killed this mercenary, but the wound was fatal to the pirate. The dying pirate looked at the Predator, took his prized pistol & tossed it to the Predator. "Take it" he says in a raspy voice, then dies.
@@Brianna-ys7qp I have read that story and it is a good example of who or what is deemed worthy in honorable combat. That pistol is not only priceless, it was a nod to both the Predator's foes for their ingenuity and courage. Like Achilles said to Hector "you gave the boy the honor of your sword". So the Predator gave the honor of his clan to Harrigan.
@@deathstrike he must have really thought highly of the pirate captain to have kept his pistol as a prized possession for nearly 300 years, despite the fact that this was a failed hunt for him. For sure, that shows how much respect he had a for Harrigan after he defeated the Predator that had targeted him. They live in a society that is dictated by Honor. Whether one is a Yautcha, human, or something else, bravery and skill command respect. I really like that about them.
Key point for the Predator timelines. This was the first time that a Yautja had been defeated by a human in direct hand-to-hand combat. Also, the first time one had been tracked back to his ship by a human hunter. This is directly after a Yautja had been forced to suicide after being bested in a fight (Predator 1). While humans had been known as challenging prey in the past due to our cunning, we had unfortunately been degrading in quality as prey. Those two hunts propelled humanity back to the top of the soft meat prey category.
That might be what convinced the bad bloods from Predators to start kidnapping people to the hunting grounds.
Great points my man. This is why I find Predator 2 to be superior than the first because it expands on that lore. Danny Glover not only pursues the city hunter for miles but fights one in hand to hand, survives and kills it all while being mentally and physically exhausted at this point.
@@Lestat21500 My friend here are some facts wether you like it or not;
1.This officer harrigan did not track the predator,there was a team led by keys from US air force that was tracking the predator.
2.The predator was intentionally leading harrigan to the final battle ground after the train massacre.This is evident where you can see him wait for harrigan to spot him on top of buildings then move to a certain direction.The objective was to have the cop in one on one where the predator has advantage.
3.The UV rays that was installed in the slaughter house by the tracking team turned out to be the game changer exposing the predator.
4.The predator that HARRIGAN was fighting was an armature not blooded.
Want some candy?
@@billyongus344 he was a blooded yautja he clearly had earned a xenomorph skull to his trophy collection and he also had the plasma caster, so that meant he was already a blooded yautja that went through the ritual
You can hear Greyback say “Angel” after Harrigan reads out the year on the flintlock. That’s featured in the dark horse comic that tells the story of Raphael Andolini and Golden Angel which is greyback himself all those years ago. I love this movie and this scene! ❤
Idk if he said "angel", I think it was probably some sort of old grumbling predator dad noise of sorts. Ya know, it's funny the more I repay it it sounds like after harrigan reads out "1715" greyback says "yessir" as he walks off lol. To each their own
Greyback was referring to the man that he helped and the man gave him the gun while he was dying from his wounds, it was his friend.
@@prodigy1445 Sounds more like Greyback is saying "Angel", than "Yes, sir."
or '' welcome to wendy's''?
Sounds like Evac short for evacuate to me. But who knows
Seeing this scene as a kid back in the 90s was wild!
This is why I have so much respect for these guys they maybe scary and very intimidating and bloodthirsty but THEY STILL HAVE A CODE AND HONOR.
No man (or, rather, creature) left behind. Perhaps our leadership should be given a screening.
Not bloodthirsty those are the bad bloods the renegades that are kill addicted and don't care about honor they only care about killing as much as possible damn how they'll do it. Yautja society is extremely honor driven, and once you betray the code you'll either get killed or commit suicide. If you flee you become a bad blood and get hunted by Enforcers which are pretty much their super cops.
There not bloodthirsty lol those are the super predators.

This is what made the Predators so awesome for me. The sense of honor, being able to acknowledge a proven hunter, and rewarding such skill and bravery with a timeless treasure given to them as a gift. Plus, they kill mothafuckin' Aliens!
Easily the second best Predator movie after the original.
The way that they appear and fade away in visibility is amazing.

Predator 2 was just as good as the first movie in my opinion. 2 masterpieces
It was a damn good movie, going to an urban setting after the first movie was set in the jungle was ballsy and it totally worked.
The cast was almost perfect too.
But as good as the first one? No, sorry my friend.
The 1st one was a 10 out of 10 imo, id give the 2nd one a 9 out of 10.

The ultimate bad guys. Absolutely brilliant.
I think Greyback gave Harrigan the pistol bc he reminded him of Raphael Adolini. If you notice he was going to leave but takes a moment to turn around and stare Harrigan in the face, just before he reaches for Raphael’s pistol and hands it to him. He probably saw a resemblance and held respect for a past warrior to a current warrior who managed to defeat his own kind. If Raphael were to have fought Greyback I think Raphael would’ve won, but Greyback will never know the outcome bc he was robbed of his challenge. Giving Harrigan the pistol was him letting go of the past while simultaneously showing great honor to Harrigan
Raphael would have died were it not for Greyback helping him, and still died even after. How do you figure he'd be able to beat a Predator in melee combat?
I don't think that's canon anymore

I saw this on opening night in my little local theater in TN. The audience almost lost it when all those Predators uncloaked. So did I. I don't give a shit what anyone says, Predator 2 is a more than worthy sequel.

Predator 2 is really a gem. Different from the first but it's in a league of its own. It didn't try to remake the first like most of the sequels. No military guys but another badass played by a solid Danny Glover. It had some epic visuals, scenes (nudity, horror, violence and the gore), expanded and enriched the predator universe.. Unfortunately it's really underrated. People should learn to appreciate this movie more.
I think with the tie on with prey, hopefully people will appreciate this movie more
@@SFNDMKthink predator 2 better then prey
I like how ELDER is holding his necklace moving it around looking at HARRIGAN like…
So this is the guy…
It's 2022 august and still this scene gives me goosebumps. Predator 1, Predator 2 and Prey are the true cannon. This movie up to this point deserves ovation.
These where the golden days where story telling was way up there. The franchise needs a new crew of writers and scenes on the aliens universe. It's a great franchise with a good future if it lands on the hands of good directors and writers. We have the tech to do anything we want but stories requires THINKING.
Outstanding movie as usual. This never gets old. I hope there is a remastering and revision of this movie with current special effects.
Sorry but Prey is overated af. Bad acting, horrible cgi, inconsistent suspense.
Prey? Puhlease...Feminist drivel....A 105 pound girl defeats five full grown adult males, AT THE SAME TIME? Too unbelievable....It was an average movie at best, it was trying to push more woke 'women power' nonsense instead of a good solid Predator movie....You need your art spoon fed to you son...
Didn’t like prey
No. The writing was terrible for Predator 2. I still like the movie, dont get me wrong. But it has awful writing, the plot doesn't make sense, the acting is atrocious, tons of cheesy one-liners, pointless gratuitous nudity (not that I mind, but it's still a common tactic used to help shield a crappy storyline), etc. The costume, makeup, & special effects tho are incredible. Still an underrated classic 90s B-rate sci-fi action flick, imo. Most sci-fi action movies in the 80s & 90s were like this. Nostalgia is a hellava drug. Everything that came from your childhood is always gonna seem better, bc a child has no responsibilities, & sees the world through rose tinted glasses, so everything period seems better when you're a child, it creates unfair biases. If this movie came out today the same ppl praising it, would hate it.

Not all Yautja are honourable though.
Fun fact: when it comes to predators the older ones are the most dangerous. They can live for centuries and have centuries of experience hunting more tools than younger predators. The leader of this group is one of the older ones
Reminds me off the quote fear the old man in a profession where men die young. Yautja can easily become a 1000 which means you survived countless hunts. Their Elders and Ancients are extremely skilled.
So means, if I try a "hariggan" play weak n sudden lowblow" attempt, it won't work on an Elder?🤔
Also, consider that to attain the rank of an Elite Hunter which the Clan Leaders for the Yautja are drawn from, they must brave a Xenomorph Hive with no more than two helpers and bring back the Queen's Skull as a trophy. This elder Yautja is probably more badass than any 3 or 4 Hunters in the room put together on his bad days.
That and Predators aren't affected by age as much as humans are.
Just completed my Neca lost tribe predator figures
Badass bunch of Yautja.
favourite Predator movie
Just gotta love the way the rest of the clan stands there firmly and not even make a sound then carry away the City Hunter. Shows the level of honour and respect they have towards Harrigan.
this is hands down one of my favorite movies of all time
maning04 same
This and the first part of the movie with Arnold.
It was badass
Heck, why not.
It's good ol honest film craft at its best.
This film gave me nightmares as a kid.
Mine too. WANT some KANDY? 🤣🤣😆
After 32 years we know where the 1715 gun came from.
32
@@andrewjoyce9038 thanks
"Take it" means well done , brave soldier , you faced and defeated one of us , something that few being are capable
could you tell me what he said after "take it" thx
Look at all those amazing suits and props. They made all of those just to have them on screen for one minute. The amount of dedication to do that is something I can respect about that one scene. Movie is still great overall.
Why did the predators bother to put their cloaks back on?
Predator 1: "Okay guys, we got the dead hunter, now let's start up the ship and get off this planet."
Predator 2: "Yeah! But let's operate the controls while we're invisible!"
Predator 1: "...You're fucking weird, man. But alright."
whateverdudezb i think its a thing about them keeping themselves sacred to strangers eyes or humans they respect their culture so much they dont want humans to get a hold of them or their tech thats why they self destruct when they see they about to loose to the opponent
To show respecto to the elder
@@adriel88_ I'm necro'ing an old as fuck comment, but I'd just like to point out that Predators don't self destruct to keep others from having their technology. They self-destruct when they are about to lose because losing is the ultimate shame in a society built around the idea that every member must be a blooded apex hunter. In the eyes of the Predators, they are the ultimate hunters and a member of the apex race doesn't "lose". The ultimate shame for a Predator is to die while their prey lives.
I had wondered. Before they were observing unnoticed...but now they're just walking around the corner to leave.
Probably just for audience entertainment. I do like the effect.
@@OptimisticCynic715 I like to imagine it's because they're mourning for their fallen brother and want to be alone. The elder predator and the others is basically a father and sons hunting trip
When I was young I totally freaked out when I saw the alien xenomorph Skull. I couldn't believe at the time they were both in the same continuity. Geeked out.
I wonder how many people noticed this I know I didnt notice it until AVP came out
Iconic ending! While Predator (1987) has gone on to be recognized as a straight up classic and is definitely the better movie, I’d argue that Predator 2 was a good sequel that was groundbreaking in its own way. 👍
I know that Danny Glover’s character DOES show up again in a Predator short story collection, but it would’ve been great to see him on the big screen again. Mike Harrigan was awesome!
Couldn't have said it better.
(Predators appear and take the dead predator away)
Chief Predator: Poor, Brad....Well not really...I didn't like him anyway. (Throws the gun to Danny Glover.) Take it...Good job.
lol
lol nice
lel
Brad as a ghost hey Fck u!
You, sir, are great.
1:28 Reference to "Prey" movie
Stephen Hopkins we salute you for this excellent sequel.
It’s awesome that’s the flintlock that Naru gets in prey
The urban Predator was younger and bolder than his jungle-based predecessor, taking greater risks and showing off. He was more a daredevil warrior than a thrill-kill assassin.
He was a city hunter Pred
Kenpachi The destroyer
what do you think urban is?
tyler graham ahhhh I'm an idiot XD urban (fuck really brain) streets I think *looks up meaning*
AlienatingPredation Yet he managed to acquire multiple trophies of different alien species. One being a Xenomorph the other being an alien like T-Rex. My opinion? This "urban Predator" would demolish the jungle one.
how do you those were his kills?
Harrigan learns how to use the Yautja's own weapons against it and learns quickly. Obviously if Harrigan didn't have the disc he probably wouldn't have survived. I'm just impressed Harrigan was able to go toe to toe with a predator in melee combat. And like others have said, Danny Glover does a fantastic job in this final scene showing how drained he is but is just filled with anger from the loss of his best buddy and that's what drove him to pursue the City Hunter and ultimately kill it with its own weapon.
While instead of just finishing him off, instead the predator raises his hand insanely high saying “stab me! I’m leaving myself open!”
@@khayree7929 a cat always likes to play with a mouse.
That’s another reason why I think the predators gave Harrigan much respect, he risked him life for vengeance for his fallen friend
@@kevinrodriguez9701 I doubt the tribe knew the whole story up til this point, they showed up, saw that a human had killed their boy, took the body and gave the human a trophy for his victory.
@@jonathanbradley4896 Nah, the tribe were watching in the shadows the whole time but from the ship, always in comms with the predator on the loose outside. They'll have been expecting some shit to go down.
After watching Prey, this is a good connection between the two movies.
Just finished Prey, and had to come here. Upon reading some of the comments, all I can say is "I'm home, amongst my peoples!" Lolz
1:20 That's potentially a 300 year old pirate voice
Any time
Never thought about it like that .cool
The truth is the pirate that died at that time clearly said " take it " in the comic book
Even tho i dig the idea from the comic book which was made after this film, i would like to think that the grayback learned some human language after centuries of hunting on earth. That's what i always thought.
@@KaraokeNig well he says "engine" at the end and City hunter seem to know how to use human language in the proper context so I think is possible that the whole tribe knew human language thanks to their elder.
While Predator 1 was a classic, iconic film, this sequel was rather solid despite of the bad reviews, and definitely second best in the series so far
Predator 2 actually became a classic and did well with time and the critics were idiots acting all high minded as if this film was supposed to be like "Gone with the Wind" or something like that. It's stunningly beautiful as was AVP 2004.. Prey is nowhere near as good as these films if you haven't seen it but it's ok and nothing else with very weak CGI.
I completely forgot Danny Glover was the protagonist in this movie and you’re absolutely right he made it to the end. 😅
This scene breaks down why these creatures are some of the most interesting to come out of film history, and a damn shame they aren't used properly.
if you don't get the gun, it's a refence to a comic where a pirate and a predator team up and become... sort of friends. The pirate gives the pistol to the predator as a thank you,
wtf? why isn't this a movie? that shit would be dope.
+bobshiggelgras what? This was a standalone movie?
The gun is NOT a reference.
The comic references the film. Not the other way around.
OpenMawProductions yep that comic was made up I dont consider it cannon so who knows how he got that pistol maybe he killed adolini 😂😂😂
Adriel Omar Díaz the comic was meant to be Predator 3, that's why the writers put the gun in the film because they wanted the sequel to be about how the gun came about. But because Predator 3 never happened they turned the idea into a comic instead.
1:17 who’s here for this scene after watching PREY! Great tie-in, even if predictable!
thank god the director confirmed that they are not the same gun, so the predator 1718 comic is still canon
@@luwucian4497 No he hasn't?
This is truly the only GREAT sequel to the original.
Such a bad ass scene man CLASSIC.
Dude, Mike was such a Savage when he said "Ok. Whose next?" I'd be like "Oh hell no. I'm outa here!" Lol.
Little HopeJay 😂😂
Wouldnt get very far with how many there was
outta there with like 9 yautjas surrounding you in a circle
I have seen "Predator 2" like 50 times since my childhood. Always loved it for being different, evolving the lore but still feeling like a true Predator movie. Showed the movie to a friend who liked the first one and never saw the sequel. He fell asleep 20 minutes in and after 40 minutes he turned the movie off. Something died in me that evening.
It's a classic in my view a brilliant film and stands up to the original but completely different. AVP 2004 is another classic for me even though the critics mostly slammed these films the idiots that they are thinking all films should be as good as "Gone With The Wind."lol.
with predator 2 you had to have grown up with it. I’ve watched it numerous times. It’s a flawed movie but part of my childhood. So there will always be a place for it with me. Don’t worry your not alone.
Hopefully your friendship. J/k
@@Pueyoftheworld Hahaha. To be honest: He already fell asleep during the Indiana Jones movies, which he never saw and mostly looked at his smartphone. So i just don't care anymore.
@@callmepistol A couple of weeks ago i was drunk and it was night and hot as hell outside. Perfect timing for "Predator 2". The sweat oozes out of every pore in that movie. Harrigan changing his clothes in his office, Paxton sweating like crazy in his suit. This and "Apocalypse Now" are two of the best movies that can really suck you into the heat of the moment, lol.
Just watching this scene and reading what you wrote 5 years ago. Wow. It seems the Predator is getting the sequels and attention it deserves after 25 years. Crazy stuff. The ideas where there all along.
so glad this pistol makes a appearence in the prey movie
So many sequels... nobody ever thought of making a movie about the story behind that old pistol? 😞
Kitty Granollers They made a comic book about it
Master Justin a movie about that comic!!!
Kitty Granollers If they ever gonna make it long enough to be one
Alien vs Predator sort of had a back story, but it was over 10,000 years ago during the ancient Aztec time
no need, it keeps ppl guessing when you dont explain
I love how the Predators have this a code of honor and respect for beings they deem "worthy".
Pred 2 was full of cool scenes... this one from the end it's the cherry from the top of the cake!
This is the one of the most epic endings in a movie. Love love this scene.
City Hunter: "Imma go hunting. See you guys in a bit."
Greyback and other Predators: "So you expect us to wait in the car while you go and have fun? Sounds good - bring back lots of trophies!"
City Hunter: "Will do!"
“Dammm he got cooked eh he chose to hunt the most dangerous prey that hunts back”
“Ight take this our guy knew the risks”
thank you. At 38 years old, this clip is a lot less scary. I'd downloaded it as a christmas movie for myself. To remind me of when I when I was young.
+Karen Eliot old ass
+TheSmashingTesticles :0 jeezus chrizt!
+Karen Eliot Yeah, I remember seeing this as a kid and thinking "Oh shit! He's dead." when all the other Predators showed up.
and you'll get there soon someday :)
Karen Eliot nice
Who's here after watching Prey! 😃😃
I always remember the poster tag line for this movie..."He's in town with a few days to kill"...chills every time.
the significance of that pistol was supposed to be for the script of the 3rd predator film which never happened and was going to be set back in the early 1700's which later made it into the comics where it was explained.
would have been a cool movie
@@DarkLord-yd1ey better than some of the dross we have had since.
That’s crazy, a third movie. Why didn’t it happen?
@@Eduardo-mr7bj Probably because this film was underrated and didn't do well at the box, and 20th Century Fox cancelled sequel, so Dark Horse turned the story into a comic instead called 'Predator 1718
@@marezmaj123 oh okey gotcha. That sucks. Older predator movies are better. The ones now aren’t all that great.
With one moment when the ancient Greyback Predator threw the old pistol to Mike could've set off a whole slew of Predator prequel spin-offs set before the original film. Imagine a Predator film set during the Spanish-American War, during WW1 or WW2, etc. There's so many possibilities that don't clash with the original film.... instead we got Shane Black's The Predator WHICH SUCKS HARD... Seriously, we need to go back to basics and just have the hunt. No twists, no turns, just classic hunts. Greyback Predator was the key to this franchise.
There was going to be a movie about the Gun, but it got turned into a comic.
But at least we got Predators, which is a film I love.
@@joshuastrittmatter4188 The only modern Predator movie that doesn't suck. Predator, Predator 2, and Predators make a good trilogy. Just ignore everything else.
@@joshuastrittmatter4188 no, its total crap
I love when the Greyback says...Engine, they start the ship and Harrigan gotta run for life. Predators are so badass
I had to come back to this scene after watching Prey.
I miss these types of movies
I think that this is the absolute best scene in any Predator movie. Always gave me chills. As a young teenager, I loved this film based on this ending alone, because it was the first hint at the shared AvP Uuniverse from the comics (the xenomorph skull on the wall) and the fact that we actually saw 9 other Predators at the end....and the gun trophy is just the capper on a great scene.
The one and only Kevin Peter Hall played the elder. RIP.
@tims_always_fishing
He played the city hunter in Predator 2, not sure about the elder.
@@KaraokeNig he 100% was the city hunter AND the elder (Greyback) what a legend Kevin was, such a tall man but potrayed this creature with such grace ♡
yes that is correct
Some were played by lakers players due to their height
@@roberterlandson8234 LOL really?! That makes alot of sense actually
SPOILER FROM PREY (2022)
1:27 *Thank God the director confirmed that the gun in PREY is not the same gun of this scene, they are just the same model, so the predator 1718 comic is still canon*
thank god
There’s a fantastic clip of all these predators dancing behind the scenes, it’s brilliant and worth a watch
Ok, who's next.
that's a great line he gave, after having gone through all that.
+Batesmotel1960 Man that was fucking alpha.
+Daniel Gonsalez Whats could you say, when being surrounded by 10 or 12 intergalactic hunters...lol
+Batesmotel1960 Would've been just a bit better if he'd held up the blade while saying it, just to make it clear he just did what could be considered the impossible.
+sonrouge trust me after going trough hell just to kill one single predator and almost loosing your life to a terrifying beast and suddenly out of nowhere you see this whole clan appears and a pissed elder looking at you dead at the eyes like you may killed one of my young ones but I don't fuck around trust me bro you shit your pants and drop that blade in seconds from instant froze fear lol
I think the predator respects the human species more than any enemy they ever faced...they went from hunting humans for sport to hunting humans for knowledge and to learn more and evolve...amazing creatures...i love the alien series but the predator is the ultimate hunter..
Well, the aliens are just here to repopulate themselves via human host or whatever, they are not hunters but more like colonizers.
This scene is epic! I love everything about it and it's meaning as explained by some of the previous comments🙌🏾
That is so SICK & also had Paxton in the film a firm favourite of mine.
