Don't be shocked and appalled when you watch older films, be shocked and appalled at the now.
Welp, you do have a point lol
No kidding. People are so fragile today.
Men still talk like this with each other. It hasn't gone anywhere. Go hang out at my brother's mechanic shop. It was a diverse group, and they all threw shit at each other. Not a bit of hatred in it, either. They loved each other.
Context. Context is the important part.
@@JrocksAndDevinity I'd like for you guys to react to Ninja Assassin. I'm sure you haven't seen the movie and I don't think anyone else has made any reaction to this movie so it would be cool to see you react to it in the next video
Very true! Filmmaking and "Cinema" is a thing of the past. Now you just pull up Adobe and draw anything you want. Movies and cartoons have definitely achieved cross pollination with each other. LOL
Arnold has never been a 'good' actor but the dude lives and breathes charisma. He never needs to change himself as the parts just wrap around him so naturally. It's truly amazing.
We agree! Probably the best action movie star we had
I dont know if others have mentioned but, the Predator was played by Kevin Peter Hall. He also played Harry In Harry And The Henderson's, a family fun comedy. Harry is Bigfoot, essentially, and the Henderson's bring him back to suburbia. It's fun! In 1992, I think, Kevin Peter Hall was involved in a bad car accident. He was rushed into surgery where they accidentally gave him contaminated blood. Sadly, he passed away. RIP Kevin Peter Hall
Someone did mention that he played in Harry and the Hendersons - the rest I didn't know. Big RIP 🙏. Thanks for the comment!
Alan Silvestri’s score in this film is fantastic. The jungle/military feel is perfect, and the tension is real. Such a great score.
Yeah the music definitely fits the movie's themes and vibes perfectly! 👌
Jesse Ventura and Arnold were almost never in the same frame because Ventura stood at 6'5 and 300 pounds while Arnold stood at 6'2 and 235 pounds...you can have a actor taller than the lead actor in a film.
Jesse Ventura is a big boi!
Jean Claude Van Damme was originally in the Predator suit and he quit after a few days because he hated the suit and he wasn't going to get a film credit.The actor that played Billy,was known to get into bar fights and had to have a bodyguard and the bodyguard was to protect other people from him.Arnold had all his food flown in because he didnt trust the local foods for sanitary reasons.Some of the cast and crew got diarrhea.Arnold had weight lifting equipment in a back of a truck and the cast would lift weights and go running in the morning to look like soldiers. Jesse Ventura(A Navy SEAL)and Richard Chaves(Poncho) were both Vietnam Vets.All the cast got along.
Cool Stuff! Thanks for the insights!
This is the first movie to use the idea of a man pack mini gun. It was given to Jesse because he was the biggest actor on set. The back pack carried the battery and fuel for the gun. As it only shot small bursts of flammable gas not bullets.
Carl Weathers said that working during filming became a competition. He found out Arnold would start moving workouts at five. So he started at four. The next morning Arnold was in the gym at three. Carl saw Arnold runing 2 miles after filming so he ran 5. Next day Arnold ran 6 and then worked out. Finally Carl told Arnold you win.
Lol, thats great!
My brother and I saw this movie in the theater when it came out we were 5 and 7, respectively!😂😂
Nice! 🤣
No you didn't this was rated R, you wouldn't get in the theatre due to your age
@@lopetta4077 My dad saw the movie with us!
Fun fact. Massive jungle shooting was done with live ammunition and rarely you see two governors in the same movie.
That's crazy it was live ammo! You are right about the two governor, didn't think of that lol
Hawkins' sense of humor though!
51:18 Kevin Peter Hall as "Predator".
That guy was tall as hell like 7 ft !
"They're in the thick of it now!" *drinks from giant beer stein*....*CLONK!*....that caught me off guard, lol.
🤣 Its my favorite mug! Devinity bought it for my birthday! lol
Originally they had Jean-Claude Van Damme running around in a praying Mantis suit as "The Predator", until he got fed up and quit/ fired (Do to the extreme jungle heat and other working conditions). So they went back to the drawing board. Stan Winston who was Hollywood's greatest creature and prosthetic designer worked with James Cameron to design the cool look of the Predator.
@@donjuan4067 that's amazing! I'm glad they went the direction they did. Predator looks good wven by today's standards
Would be great to react to Predator 2, Alien V Predator, then Predators in that order.
😊
Kevin Peter Hall who played the Predator was also the chopper pilot at the end, he also played Bigfoot in Harry And The Hendersons a great family movie to react to also. Starring John Lithgow. Think that was 1987 also.
Didn't know that about the predator actor, cool stuff! I'll put the other Prdators on the list, thanks!
Dutch in the comics had to get treated for radiation poison and he was just jaded by it all in the end.
Oh I didn't know this was a comic!
This was big fun, guys!! I saw this with my first wife in '87 when it was released. We loved it!! But even more than my enjoyment of your reactions, I enjoyed your chemistry. I wish you all the best, and I look forward to seeing more of your reactions. Peace and love to you and yours. ❤😊
This was the sweetest comment ever! Thanks for sharing your story, we are glad you enjoyed our reaction and excited to hopefully chat with you again! 😊
The general is played by R.G. Armstrong...the one briefing Arnold/ Dutch Schaffer.
Armstrong was in one of Arnold's earliest films, Stay Hungry with Sally Field and Jeff Bridges.
The director asked Arnold to shed weight for the film, as the film was coming close to completion, Arnold was already building back up to defend his Mr. Olympia title for the sixth time against Serge Nubret and a young Lou Ferrigno in 1975.
Arnold won, becoming the winningest Mr. Olympia in history until his record was broken by Lee Haney in 1991...the first eight times Mr. Olympia was followed later by Ronnie Coleman in the early 2000's.
Interesting stuff! Never heard of Stay Hungry.
Ventura was never a Seal, he left the service in 1975 (iirc) and was part of the UDT (Underwater Demolition Team), specifically UDT Team 12. The UDT did merge with the Seals but that was in 1983 after he was already gone.
Blain's minigun is based the XM214 Microgun designed by General Electric.
Thats pretty cool! I just looked it up, was an interesting read. Thanks for that!
It's also the exact same one Arnold uses in T2.
You have to give props to Arnold...he made the most of what talent he has, and it didn't hurt that he seemed to have came along at the absolute perfect time to make it all work for him.
Yeah, his story is ridiculous overcoming insane odds. Came to the US, wins the Mr Olympia several times. Goes to acting, becomes the best action hero actor. Transitions again into politics etc.. Amazing!
Great reaction guys, subscribed!! This is a phenomenal action movie... so enjoyable. Two hours of pure FUN.
Thanks so much! Yes, super fun movie. Devinity loved it and was a great rewatch for me (Jrocks) as well!
The only VHS that I actually wore out to not work anymore
Lol, thats awesome! 🤣
@@JrocksAndDevinity Ya I watched it twice a day for probably a good 6 months
1:35 Nice. 2 degrees of separation.
Yeah, pretty cool story!
@@JrocksAndDevinity Jesse did an interview on Graham Besinger where he was talking about Muhammad Ali being his hero. Very heartfelt and honest.
I love Arnold.The best movie of Predator series.
Yeah, Arnold is the best!
A mini gun weighs in at about 80lbs. Not including the ammo. It fires 3k to 6k rounds per minute.
Thats insane! lol
This film to me is a lot deeper than most people think. Yes, it has amazing action, but what makes this not just some shoot-em-up was a few smaller points, and then a big one.
First, is that it is a dangerous world with bad state actors such as the Russian advisors and suppliers of weapons for the rebels to either overthrow a government or make a lot of chaos that the U.S. would have to deal with; and the "assets" that are "used"/expendible to fight against that. Back in the eighties the Soviets were still trying to spread their communist oppression to all corners of the world, and a lot in Central America and the Caribbean. A nice touch was that the deceiving "agent man" using the team as expendible assets became one of those expendibles himself.
Second, is that Dutch's team are observed by the Predator as by far the best-of-the-best in fighting aspects with their weapons, tactics, and physical execution. The most capable "prey" on the planet not only among other humans, but they just squash the predator scorpion like it was nothing (I think the Predator identified some with that scorpion sort of like it was an evolution cousin).
The big one is that the Predator is not an evil monster, but an intelligent being with a honorable moral code. Once he recognizes Dutch is our(humanity's) apex fighter combining clever intellect with exceptional physicality(strength, athleticism, accuracy of movement, etc.). He is our champion fighting for our honor among the beings of the galaxy. Are we good enough to win/be respected, or will we still be considered a lower lifeform/game to be hunted and squished like the scorpion? The important point is the question: Is humanity just another animal on a galactic food chain to be hunted by a higher lifeform like we treat the other lifeforms on this planet.
I think they portray this kind of thing with Dutch contemplating what he just went through in that silent stare on the chopper; and the way Anna's looking at him.
There were a number of well-crafted things in this film. One of them was the turnabout where before the mud the Predator had the camouflage, etc. and was the hunter causing the team to blindly shoot a bunch only in the general direction of the threat; and then Dutch became the unseen hunter and it was the Predator blindly shooting, not knowing where the attack came from.
This is Little Richard 60s swing music.
Please react to Rush hour 1,2 and 3 starring Jackie Chan and Chris tucker. You will absolutely enjoy them
@@hybrid.catastrophic.impact6071 Thanks for the recommendations, we will put them on the list!
@@JrocksAndDevinity Thank you. Much appreciated
No lets NOT!... Cause Chris Tucker is a really sh*t actor and is just straight out F-ing annoying!... especially in the Fifth Element movie when he plays Ruby Rhod and just constantly F-ing screams like a little girl through out the second half of the damn movie and makes you just wanna slap him! 😐
Comment.
Lol thanks 🤣
Character driven movie!
Yes, definitely! Great characters!
The hostages were already dead, keep up girl.. Terminator 2 Arnold holds a MINI GUN in that movie.
It's a masterpiece. I mean just imagine trying to make this film. It could have very easily been a total disaster. It's gotta be the most quotable film as well and I think it's because the actors were mostly athletes and so their lines were mostly just cool one-liners, and the film doesn't real age either because it's just..guys in a jungle. 80's films are almost always great because they knew how to keep things balanced, even when the material was heavy they remembered to keep things light because entertainment is always what's the most important. Movies today are more into messages and leaving something open for a sequel for more money or designing it to win an Oscar with the same boring formula. Most Oscar-winning films have no replay value. Notice how in the older films they shot their rifles from the hip. It was all about fun. Haha, they don't shoot like that in movies today. Films today are way too serious. And the music scores back then were amazing.
While todays films act like they are more serious - I can spell that as 'edgy'. Too much competition from the technology that now 'anyone' can make film has both watered down the talent on any given project since things like 'that' person' whom does BEST as a supporting actor now think they can lead a movie. Now apply that to every position needed to make a film and we see why todays films in general are 'less'. "Sure we wanted the best but they are spread out among 20 different studio's" is today's theme. Disney has not figured it out either. :P
Yes! They unfortunately don't do fun action movies like they used to!
@@terrylandess6072 So many films now have too many cooks. What's great about event he silly 80's slasher films is those were passion projects. Many times it was made by a guy who saved up all his money for a camera and got funding from friends and desperate college kids BUT even though it's amateurish you can can feel the PASSION he had when he made it. A desire to make audiences freak out. He sank his heart into it. It's a bit like when you see these sitcoms where the creators star in them and they are always amazing shows, rather than these other shows where each season feels completely different than the last because they keep bringing in new people..
But I remember Matt Damon speaking on this really well, how the digital age killed movies. Or you look at actors of the old days and they had to be able to sing and dance as well as act, or the singers ALL had to be great singers. There was no faking it until you made it. At some point it peaked. Now here we are waiting 2 years for a multi-million dollar per episode show to give us 8 episodes...and they STILL can't even deliver! Haha, things have gotten insane. If you don't have a good story and visionary at the helm then you have nothing. Just a turd covered in glitter..which is what most Netflix films are. You watch them and forget them faster than a Liftetime original movie. They're all 6/10. But what's crazy is you can look at one of those really fun films of the past that you remember fondly and somehow they're rated 6/10! Our standards have really dropped. A 6/10 film now is basically unwatchable. I wrote too much. haha
Van damme double impact was dope
Added to the list, thanks!
Check out the movies Tremors(1990) and The Terminator(1984).
Added to the list thanks!
Back when we could survive to zombie apocalypse. Most people would die nowadays. Anyway , if you were paying attention , there was only two hostages and the had already killed both of them.
lol, true!
The “nerdy” lookin SF soldier (Hawkins I think was his name) is one of the writers of the screenplay. I forget his real name.
Oh interesting, didn't know that!
@@JrocksAndDevinityShane Black. He wrote Lethal Weapon too!
@@Reefism oh damn!
If I'm remembering correctly, Shane Black was also there to kinda keep an eye on and tweak the script. If I'm wrong, I apologize.
I wonder if he wrote his own 'joke's for this?
Ah man, you had the opportunity to skip the spacecraft scene, so that it's not spoiled.
However, by now, everyone should know about the Predator.
Yeah, it's been like 30 years since I seen it though, so I didn't recall the spaceship or much of the other details honestly
@@JrocksAndDevinity no worries. Once they started making toys, we all knew that it was an alien lol
i suppose if anyone was gonna carry a minigun it would have to be jesse ' the body' Ventura.
lol, true! 😂
Try mad max fury road its dope
Will give it a look, thanks!
One of the best action movies of all time.
Alien vs predator 2004 reaction please
Will do! Devinity hasn't seen any of the Alien movies yet. We willill probably hit up the first 2 then check out Alien v Predator. Neither of us seen A v P yet!
Kanalınıza abone oldum. Umarım söylediklerim anlaşılıyordur. Bence en iyi predator filmi @@JrocksAndDevinity
@@ugurkahraman126 Yes, google translated your message. Thank you for the sub!
Request movies Deadpool & Wolverine Marvel first time Watching 2024
Will do! We still have to do Deadpool 2 first, which I think will be next week or so
Fun reaction, you have a new sub 🙂🏴 it would be great to see you react to lock stock and two smoking barrels, snatch, hot fuzz, Paul, stardust and the gentleman if you haven't seen them
Thanks! I will add those to the list!
Did you see the blob 1988
No, havent heard of it actually. Is it good?
Yes please watch
@@dameinparker7636 Will add it to the list, thanks!
I saw the one with Steve McQueen and have no need to see the newer one but since the story seems to be very close to the original that would be the better one for younger audiences. Like DUNE - I don't need to see fancy special effects beyond the 84 version and the BOOK knowledge but if I never had that experience - once again the newer would be the better choice.
Y’all forgot to mention that this film had two former US Governors.
The" predator "movies and the sigourney Weaver "aliens " movies are in the same universe and tied together. And " Prometheus " is part of it. Ya'll need to check out the " alien versus predator " movies.
Yes! Definitely on the list! Devinity hasn't seen Alien/s yet so we are planning on checking them out soon, then on to AvP
@@JrocksAndDevinity cool. Can't wait to see your reaction to them. Good luck with your channel.
@@davidnoel2977 thanks, we appreciate it! It's been a lot of fun!
