Billy, the tracker, abandoned his weapon and took out his knife to cut himself to indicate to the Predator that he denied the Predator of spilling first blood. -OG
In many Native American tribes, the warriors would cut the chest as a way to say, "this is my heart, the heart of a warrior". He stayed to die not running in fear but standing his ground like a true honorable warrior. This movie did a great job honoring Native American and modern U.S. Military warriors.
@@ptthatswhatshesaid not only his skull, but his spine as well. Taking just the head means the Predator considers you a good opponent, but taking the head and spine is almost the highest sign of respect a Predator can show a fallen opponent.
13:24 Crazy bastard "I aint got time to bleed" guy later became governor of Minnesota, similar to Arnold becoming governor of California. So Predator had two future governors in the cast.
Defennetly Arnold's best role. And the the movie, best barbarian movie ever made. Got propably the most epic soundtrack also... once you hear it, you never forget it.
And the guy who played Arnold's father in " Conan William Smith is a legit tough guy Arnold challenged him on set to a arm wrestling match knowing his tough guy background And William Smith beat Arnold in front of the set broke his arrogant ego William Smith also got into a real fight with tough aussie legit tough guy Rod Taylor in the movie Darker than amber " both guys lost their temper so that fight scene is real
@@ptthatswhatshesaidYea it happens so fast. And you guys aren't alone. Everyone who sees it for the first time asks the same question. Hell, this is probably my favorite movie of all time, and it took me like 15 years to realize. I always just figured Arnold plot armor 😅.
When challenging for position in a tribe, drawing first blood to decide the winner is a way to avoid fighting to the death. Billy using his machete to draw his own blood meant that drawing first blood would not decide the fight about to happen. The fight would be to the death.
If you want to see Schwarzenegger as a funny guy, you have to see "True Lies". Also his co-stars Jamie Lee Curtis and Tom Arnold are great too. Very fun movie and a different side of Arnie.
I'm glad they don't reveal too much about the Predator in this movie. They say less is more. The less you know about the Predator, the scarier he becomes. But it's also twofold. The less you know about the Predator, the more you want to know what makes him tick! It's the perfect formula for a sequel! -OG
I saw Predator in the theater, and afterwards I was primed for the sequels to get my questions answered. I didn't know it would take years for the sequels to be released.
I think I was 2 years old when this movie came out. Watched it with bf recently after seeing another reaction. He said I reminded him of Lucy. We both talked too much! Haha 😅
I just realized the poster for "Predator" has a tank in it for some odd reason and what looks like a building being blown up instead of a hut in the jungle. Regardless of those misleading clues, Lucy still accurately described 80% of the movie even though she has never seen it. So, well done, Lucy! 👍😊
Predator mimicking and taunting Dutch's men is not only intimidating but downright scary, too! Especially when the Predator uses Billy's laugh at the end of the film before the Predator nuked himself! -OG
“Ooohh , wow , look at that ! “ says Lucy when she sees the soldiers strung up skinned alive. “Ooohh no , I can’t look , it’s too horrible !” When she sees a scorpion get stepped on.
Kevin Peter Hall portrayed the preditor. He was also the helicopter pilot at the end. They wanted show who played the part. Unfortunately he passed away a few years after this film. He was 35 I believe. Interesting analysis of the film by y'all. As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.

They need to talk and act fast, so ideas need to be conveyed quickly to preserve the mission effectiveness and safety of team members.

Yes, when she saw the skinned bodies she was all in! 😂😂 she really enjoyed it 👌 I just can't imagine Van Damme in this movie 🤔 The Thing has to come up at some point of course! I've been putting it in polls since the beginning xD
The sound editing in Predator was outstanding. In a movie theater with a big screen, the audience often knew where the camouflaged Predator was by the placement of sound effects, movement or rustling of leaves or the sound of branches breaking. This was smart movie making, whatever the budget was.
When the Predator used his plasma shoulder cannon on Arnold's character, the Predator simply aimed for Arnold's weapon. Which is why Arnold only sustained a flesh wound. Unlike Dillon. Who got his arm completely blown off. -OG

Since you've seen Aliens I do recommend AvP. But you have to see Predator 2 before Prey. Otherwise it will be a little confusing. Everyone always gets interested on how they combine the two franchises. It's like quicksand it sucks you in. Great reactions, congratulations on growing your channel!
I always thought it was a good touch having Dutch not be triumphant at the end but almost broken. On a side note some people question whether the mud would block infrared vision. Firget what channel didbit but they got a bunch of different infrared sxopes and had one guy cover up in mud like Arnold did and it did block the Infrared. The fuy in mud had people walk very close to him and just miss him.
Good one and a nice reaction. You got all the important clues. Awesome and one of the greatest movies of all time. Greatest creature of all time. Team Predator! Some info on predator if interested. - The yautja(Predator) does not play sports. They hunt! They hunt for the best kill to earn their place in the clan. They have a strict honor code! The more powerful hunt they get, the more satisfied they are. Each predator has a unique character just like people. Predators can survive on earth-like planets for a week without a helmet and use it as a breathing apparatus. Helmets give them different kinds of visions, controls, etc. A Predator that does its first hunt is an Unblooded. After its successful 1st Alien hunt they are blooded and receive the shoulder cannon. Each earns and chooses their weapons after some hunts. Oh, and the life of an average Predator is more than 1000-10000 years if it survives. They don't hunt something that is unarmed. There are also some rouges. They are called Bad blood and predators don't like bad blood! The pilot(Kevin Peter Hall) in the last scene is the one who played Predator!
Imagine a game hunter in Africa or South America. They consider it a challenge to go after something which is hard to get. That's what the predator is. They hunt for sport, which is why it didn't go after you if you were unarmed. No challenge.
I saw this movie on TV when I was 8 years old and remind me of a re-occurring dream I had where I was chased or pursued by something but couldn't tell what it was. I asked my folks what it meant and they said it was me about to face a challenge or something.
There are reasons why the Predator takes either the skin, or the spine and skull of its prey. 🤔 I don't think it would be a spoiler to say that when the Predator only skins its prey, it's a show of contempt that the prey was too easy to kill and didn't put up much of a fight. The reasons for taking the spine and skull are revealed in the sequels. As far as Lucy's question, "Why would they do Predator versus Alien?" The answer is very logical, but she would first have to watch "Predator 2" to have enough backstory to understand what is happening in "Alien vs Predator (AVP)." But I think AVP is an excellent blend of two different sci-fi franchises and makes both of the storylines much more interesting. During the meantime, it was very enjoyable to see her first-time reaction to this franchise. Hopefully, you will do more of them. 👍😊
Many people don't know this, but the Terminator was to date the only movie 🎥 where Arnold Schwarzenegger played the villain!! That's because he has a clause in his contract for only playing the good guy in movies!! 😮
Arnold dominated the action movies of the 80s. But he was always so much bigger and stronger 💪 than his opponents. It was never a question if Arnold would win in the end. However, Predator was different. We actually wondered if Arnold would make it out alive 🤔!! It helped to have a 7'3" tall actor to play the Predator to create that intimidation to Arnold's muscles. Kevin Peter Hall played the Predator. He also played Bigfoot in Harry and the Henderson's. It's a fun family film. I highly recommend it. 👌 -OG
I think this is such a unique film. It starts out as a typical 80s war movie and then changes genre and becomes a horrific gore monster film who also happens to be an extraterrestrial!! -OG
That's what makes it so great! The first part is absolutely essencial, showing how badass the team is, and then it's like they are just prey for that invincible hunter from outer space!
LOL i have watched countless reactions to this flick and NOBODY ever mentioned what SHE mentioned !! its TRUE .. i never noticed myself. .. the MUSIC they use could just as well be in parts for a CLOWN show. for a funny movie .. AND the HUGE GUN ..the MINI GUN is totally IMPRACTICAL for a jungle scenario and has a fire time of about 30 to 45 seconds. after that u have to CARRY this huge ass thing ( 40 KG ) because you cannot destroy it because they are very expensive and you dont want this weapon to fall into rebel hands. so in a LAST MAN scenario you would have to destroy it with a grenade . but its not said u cant repair the damage and re use it on a jeep or a helicopter for example..
Well, there are parts were I agree that the music seems way to distractingly loud and weird yeah 😅 That mini gun just looks cool and badass! Taking that into consideration, I have nothing against it being in the movie 😂😂 even if it doesn't make sense!
there are versions of the script and some deleted scenes that make Arnold Schwarzenegger character in Predator the model and basis for the Cyberdyne Systems Model 101 or the T-800 in Terminator 3 there is a deleted scene which kind of make fun of the fact. the studios kept trying to merge Terminator Predator and Alien to have a shared universe
@@ptthatswhatshesaid it's a pretty interesting concept James Cameron and Ridley Scott and I think the studio was Fox at the time wanted to make the shared cinematic universe basically be a time loop / Paradox the Predator created the xenomorphs for there sport / ritual and when earth found out about them and there existence they invested into to the tech to fight and study them making the Terminator Cyberdyne Systems Model 101 based off the one soldier that fought one and won but eventually the AI developed time travel making the story a whole time loop / self fulling prophecy. I don't think it ever got out of development hell but they basically use the concept in all the Terminator movies that its just a endless time loop / self fulling prophecy
the sci-fi element is present throughout the movie, but I would say it starts like a military action film of the 80's and then yeah, it's slasher time!
Hmm let's see... Predator 1 Predator 2 Predators Prey 1 Prey 2 and surely coming in a few years... Predatating! :) "A chopper.!.... [grenade launcher explodes it]... no more chopper." I love that Stranger Things paid homage to many movies and TV shows of the 80s, Jim Hopper for example, being named after the missing elite team leader we see the dog tags to with the strung up skinned men) Fantastic reactions, thank yous!

What a cast! RIP Apollo Creed, Dillon Carl Weathers, may u live on forever! Jesse Ventura was an ex operator and actually bigger than Arnold, and they were never filmed standing together! Bill duke was an amazing actor...juliard trained and amazing in American jiggolo! Billy was a complete wildman and had 2 guys for 24/7 security. Not for his protection but to keep him out of trouble!! The helicopter pilot is the Predator! They gave him one speaking line, so he could get a film credit and his sag card! There's many more predator films and Alien vs Predator! There's also a much larger tie in here. Aliens predators humans Replicants and Terminators are all related by a race of beings called Engineers, discussed in the movie Prometheus! In the 80-90s, Arnold was the absolute movie king of the one liners/memes! So many to repeat, but the most repeated line and meme in history is, " I'll be back!" Hard to believe this movie is almost 40 years old! A future governor of California, Minnesota and candidate for Kentucky in this! Bill Paxton RIP, in part 2, is the only person in Hollywood, who was killed by a Terminator predator and Alien! There's a larger tie in here. In Prometheus the prequel to all. The being in the chair with it's chest blown out is a Engineer. Engineers seed life on planets and watch the progression. If they don't like how the life is progressing they seed another life to wipe out the remaining then they destroy each other. Engineers created humans Aliens and supposedly Predators and gave humans the technology for Replicants and Terminators!! Also Weyland Corp, Tyrell Corp and Cyberdyne Systems. In shotts in this movie u see resumes of the Crew. Dallas worked for Tyrell Corp 😮😮😮 That's Bladerunner! Cyberdyne Systems supplied tech for Tyrell Corp and Weyland Corp! Weyland Corp did industrial and flight operations for Tyrell Corp! Tyrell Corp is Bladerunner and Weyland Corp is Aliens! Cyberdyne Systems is Terminator!
The testosterone is on overdrive in this film. Also, you have two former governors. Arnold Schwarzenegger became governor of California. Jesse "the body" Ventura, once a professional wrestler, became governor of Minnesota.
Mac sounds crazy climbing the hill and going after the Predator chanting. I'm going to have me some fun over and over again, but it is not being crazy. "I'm gonna have me some fun" is part of the lyrics of the song we heard in the beginning on the chopper. Mac's best friend was into music. We saw his MTV shirt before the Predator blew his chest open. Mac is on a quest for revenge. To settle a score. Dillon feels the same but for different reasons. This is Dillon's quest for redemption. His time in the CIA has corrupted him, and he's betrayed his friend. -OG
The Predators "bullet" that hit Dutch didn't hit him. It hit his weapon to disarm him. Since Dutch, being the last of his team, the Predator wants to show him respect and fight him hand to hand. He chose to destroy his weapon to get Dutch to where he could do that.
Hi you two, this is fun. I want to make the case that the newest installment in the Predator franchise, Prey ,is as good as Predator 2 and if you continue this journey, please make sure you watch it either next or right after number two.There are many sequels that aren't great but Prey being a prequel is a fantastic movie and shouldn't be lumped in with the others. The ideal order is this, then number 2, and then Prey. Keep up the excellent content!👍👍
Did Lucy say she likes "detective shows?" If yes, then I think she will love Predator 2, because it's kind of like a detective movie, except the bad guy is an alien.
@@ptthatswhatshesaid I read an article that reported "Billy" had an aggressive personality when he was around other Alpha males, and since this movie is loaded with those type of men, he apparently tried to pick fights with them until he was assigned a handler to keep him out of trouble. The article also said that in this movie, "Billy" is very rarely shown in the same scene with other actors because of this problem. In the scene where "Dutch" grabs "Billy" to snap him out of his fixation on what he senses may be in the trees, "Billy" jerks his head around like he's enraged that "Dutch" touched him. I think that may have been a scene where it came close to being a fight between the actors. Anyway, that's what I read about that actor. I've forgotten his name, but I know he died several years ago.
What I like about this movie is the "shoe on the other foot" message when the hunter has all the advantages, using mimicry (like a duck or turkey call lol) and is taking the trophy to hang on the wall? It ain't no fun when the rabbits got the gun.
Not sure if this music was supposed to be funny- just wait for Commando, which was in direct competition with Rambo2 at the time. There’s some music choices in there that’s baffling but awesome too (because it’s Arnie) 😍
A lot of the people in this movie became politicians. Not sure if it’s true but I have heard that there was security around the actor for Billy. Not for him but to protect others from him
If you'd like to see Arnold Schwarzenegger in a bit of a different and more human way try these 2 movies Kindergarten Cop (1990) and Jingle All the Way (1996). These two movies are not Sci-fi or Fantasy. The last Action Hero (1993) could be considered Action/Fantasy.
@@ptthatswhatshesaidBut you got to at least go thru the other Predator episode...not for getting Alien, Don't forget in Alien3 there is a picture of the Predator in the movie. This was done on purpose because they planned the Alien vs Predator movie later
It is quite a quick scene, but it does make sense. Even though it might not be the case that the Predator was aiming at the gun, but that he missed his shot 🤔
I'm sure you were just trying to come of as teasing and being cute but I didn't care for your little smirking almost sarcastic questioning of your gf before it started. She was making some good observations
Billy, the tracker, abandoned his weapon and took out his knife to cut himself to indicate to the Predator that he denied the Predator of spilling first blood. -OG

13:24 Crazy bastard "I aint got time to bleed" guy later became governor of Minnesota, similar to Arnold becoming governor of California. So Predator had two future governors in the cast.
"Two and a Half Governors". The actor playing Billy the tracker ran unsuccessfully for Governor of Kentucky

At 29:06, Arnold wasn't killed because the Predator hit his rifle instead of him. The rifle was broken apart.
I had always believed that it had just catched him a little bit on the shoulder 😅
I saw this movie on TV when I was 8 years old and remind me of a re-occurring dream I had where I was chased or pursued by something but couldn't tell what it was. I asked my folks what it meant and they said it was me about to face a challenge or something.
Ever figured it out? 🤔
@@ptthatswhatshesaid No. I rarely dream nowadays when sleeping. Guess I grew out of it.
@@BReal23-qm8hs I used to be able to control things in my dreams a lot, but that ability seems to have mostly disappeared now.. 😔
Schwarzenegger in some different roles over the years:
"True Lies" (1994)
"The 6th Day" (2000)
"The Last Stand" (2013)
"Total Recall" (1990)
Totall Recall is definitely one that I think she would enjoy 😜
There are reasons why the Predator takes either the skin, or the spine and skull of its prey. 🤔 I don't think it would be a spoiler to say that when the Predator only skins its prey, it's a show of contempt that the prey was too easy to kill and didn't put up much of a fight. The reasons for taking the spine and skull are revealed in the sequels. As far as Lucy's question, "Why would they do Predator versus Alien?" The answer is very logical, but she would first have to watch "Predator 2" to have enough backstory to understand what is happening in "Alien vs Predator (AVP)." But I think AVP is an excellent blend of two different sci-fi franchises and makes both of the storylines much more interesting. During the meantime, it was very enjoyable to see her first-time reaction to this franchise. Hopefully, you will do more of them. 👍😊
Thanks a lot 😋
I think its an interesting blend yeah and also think it would provide for interesting reactions from her part!
Many people don't know this, but the Terminator was to date the only movie 🎥 where Arnold Schwarzenegger played the villain!! That's because he has a clause in his contract for only playing the good guy in movies!! 😮
And I think he was perfect as the villain actually 👌🏻
Arnold dominated the action movies of the 80s. But he was always so much bigger and stronger 💪 than his opponents. It was never a question if Arnold would win in the end.
However, Predator was different. We actually wondered if Arnold would make it out alive 🤔!!
It helped to have a 7'3" tall actor to play the Predator to create that intimidation to Arnold's muscles.
Kevin Peter Hall played the Predator. He also played Bigfoot in Harry and the Henderson's. It's a fun family film. I highly recommend it. 👌 -OG
In here, at the end we were like "Arnold doesn't look that big anymore..."
I think this is such a unique film. It starts out as a typical 80s war movie and then changes genre and becomes a horrific gore monster film who also happens to be an extraterrestrial!! -OG
That's what makes it so great! The first part is absolutely essencial, showing how badass the team is, and then it's like they are just prey for that invincible hunter from outer space!
I very much enjoy your reactions. You are both fun to hang out with.
Thank you so much! 😁
LOL i have watched countless reactions to this flick and NOBODY ever mentioned what SHE mentioned !! its TRUE .. i never noticed myself. .. the MUSIC they use could just as well be in parts for a CLOWN show. for a funny movie .. AND the HUGE GUN ..the MINI GUN is totally IMPRACTICAL for a jungle scenario and has a fire time of about 30 to 45 seconds. after that u have to CARRY this huge ass thing ( 40 KG ) because you cannot destroy it because they are very expensive and you dont want this weapon to fall into rebel hands. so in a LAST MAN scenario you would have to destroy it with a grenade . but its not said u cant repair the damage and re use it on a jeep or a helicopter for example..
Well, there are parts were I agree that the music seems way to distractingly loud and weird yeah 😅
That mini gun just looks cool and badass! Taking that into consideration, I have nothing against it being in the movie 😂😂 even if it doesn't make sense!
The gun also requires two car batteries to operate.
Get to a CHOPPAHH !!!!!!
there are versions of the script and some deleted scenes that make Arnold Schwarzenegger character in Predator the model and basis for the Cyberdyne Systems Model 101 or the T-800 in Terminator 3 there is a deleted scene which kind of make fun of the fact. the studios kept trying to merge Terminator Predator and Alien to have a shared universe
I didn't knew they were trying to also merge Terminator into the same universe as Predator and Alien!
@@ptthatswhatshesaid it's a pretty interesting concept James Cameron and Ridley Scott and I think the studio was Fox at the time wanted to make the shared cinematic universe basically be a time loop / Paradox the Predator created the xenomorphs for there sport / ritual and when earth found out about them and there existence they invested into to the tech to fight and study them making the Terminator Cyberdyne Systems Model 101 based off the one soldier that fought one and won but eventually the AI developed time travel making the story a whole time loop / self fulling prophecy. I don't think it ever got out of development hell but they basically use the concept in all the Terminator movies that its just a endless time loop / self fulling prophecy
That scorpion that Mac killed was the scorpion that the Predators wife arranged to be delivered to him after she died a few days earlier. 😅
Carl Wethers also had his own movie. Action Jackson. It's a good watch
That one Im not familiar with 🤔
I can’t stop binging your videos 🎉😂
Great! 😂😂😂
This movie presents initially as a sci fi but its really a slasher movie.
the sci-fi element is present throughout the movie, but I would say it starts like a military action film of the 80's and then yeah, it's slasher time!
Hmm let's see...
Predator 1
Predator 2
Predators
Prey 1
Prey 2
and surely coming in a few years... Predatating! :)
"A chopper.!.... [grenade launcher explodes it]... no more chopper."
I love that Stranger Things paid homage to many movies and TV shows of the 80s, Jim Hopper for example, being named after the missing elite team leader we see the dog tags to with the strung up skinned men)
Fantastic reactions, thank yous!
Thanks a lot!
I had not related Jim Hopper from Stranger THings to this movie! Interesting
Predatating! Coming soon...
Is that salt and pepper yes he's gonna season the predator to death 😂
Or maybe it was for a little snack after defeating him 😂

Great reaction guys.
I want to see Lucy react to, Courage Under Fire.
Would love to see if she can figure it out. 😀
Oh, I don't think we know that one! Is it court movie? saw the poster and kinda made me think of A Few Good Men xD
@@ptthatswhatshesaid It's a Military Investigation on what actually happened during a combat engagement with the enemy.
What a cast! RIP Apollo Creed, Dillon Carl Weathers, may u live on forever! Jesse Ventura was an ex operator and actually bigger than Arnold, and they were never filmed standing together! Bill duke was an amazing actor...juliard trained and amazing in American jiggolo! Billy was a complete wildman and had 2 guys for 24/7 security. Not for his protection but to keep him out of trouble!! The helicopter pilot is the Predator! They gave him one speaking line, so he could get a film credit and his sag card! There's many more predator films and Alien vs Predator! There's also a much larger tie in here. Aliens predators humans Replicants and Terminators are all related by a race of beings called Engineers, discussed in the movie Prometheus! In the 80-90s, Arnold was the absolute movie king of the one liners/memes! So many to repeat, but the most repeated line and meme in history is, " I'll be back!" Hard to believe this movie is almost 40 years old!
A future governor of California, Minnesota and candidate for Kentucky in this! Bill Paxton RIP, in part 2, is the only person in Hollywood, who was killed by a Terminator predator and Alien! There's a larger tie in here. In Prometheus the prequel to all. The being in the chair with it's chest blown out is a Engineer. Engineers seed life on planets and watch the progression. If they don't like how the life is progressing they seed another life to wipe out the remaining then they destroy each other. Engineers created humans Aliens and supposedly Predators and gave humans the technology for Replicants and Terminators!! Also Weyland Corp, Tyrell Corp and Cyberdyne Systems. In shotts in this movie u see resumes of the Crew. Dallas worked for Tyrell Corp 😮😮😮 That's Bladerunner! Cyberdyne Systems supplied tech for Tyrell Corp and Weyland Corp! Weyland Corp did industrial and flight operations for Tyrell Corp! Tyrell Corp is Bladerunner and Weyland Corp is Aliens! Cyberdyne Systems is Terminator!
Ok, I had no idea that everything was so interconnected! I don't know enough about Blade Runner, but we will see it very shortly I think
The testosterone is on overdrive in this film. Also, you have two former governors. Arnold Schwarzenegger became governor of California. Jesse "the body" Ventura, once a professional wrestler, became governor of Minnesota.
Oh ok, I only knew about Arnold! 😲
Sonny Landham, who played Billy, ran for governor of Kentucky, but he lost
Mac sounds crazy climbing the hill and going after the Predator chanting. I'm going to have me some fun over and over again, but it is not being crazy.
"I'm gonna have me some fun" is part of the lyrics of the song we heard in the beginning on the chopper. Mac's best friend was into music. We saw his MTV shirt before the Predator blew his chest open.
Mac is on a quest for revenge. To settle a score. Dillon feels the same but for different reasons. This is Dillon's quest for redemption. His time in the CIA has corrupted him, and he's betrayed his friend. -OG
Ok, thank you, that makes a LOT of sense, I had never connected those words to the song 😅🤦🏻♂️
Budget was around 15 million USD. Practical effects are way more expensive than CGI. Even the Predator's invisibility was a camera trick, and not CGI.
Well, I think they put it to good use 👌🏻
The Predators "bullet" that hit Dutch didn't hit him. It hit his weapon to disarm him. Since Dutch, being the last of his team, the Predator wants to show him respect and fight him hand to hand. He chose to destroy his weapon to get Dutch to where he could do that.
He had to make his last kill last longer 😅
If you want a different side of Schwarzenegger you could watch twins with him and Danny De Vito, much more light-hearted
I know of it, but since I have never seen much comedies I ended up never seeing that one. We need to had it to our comedy movies list!
Hi you two, this is fun. I want to make the case that the newest installment in the Predator franchise, Prey ,is as good as Predator 2 and if you continue this journey, please make sure you watch it either next or right after number two.There are many sequels that aren't great but Prey being a prequel is a fantastic movie and shouldn't be lumped in with the others. The ideal order is this, then number 2, and then Prey. Keep up the excellent content!👍👍
I have heard that Prey is actually pretty good, none of us have watched it, but I am truly very curious to see it! 👌🏻
Did Lucy say she likes "detective shows?" If yes, then I think she will love Predator 2, because it's kind of like a detective movie, except the bad guy is an alien.
yop, even though every one in the audience knows it's the predator by now xD
Billy is the man.
They even hired a bodyguard to protect the others from him when the movie was filmed.
🤔🤔 Did he not get along with the other actors?... 😅
@@ptthatswhatshesaid Oh yes of course. They survived. The bodyguard did a good job and Billy restrained himself.
@@ptthatswhatshesaid I read an article that reported "Billy" had an aggressive personality when he was around other Alpha males, and since this movie is loaded with those type of men, he apparently tried to pick fights with them until he was assigned a handler to keep him out of trouble. The article also said that in this movie, "Billy" is very rarely shown in the same scene with other actors because of this problem. In the scene where "Dutch" grabs "Billy" to snap him out of his fixation on what he senses may be in the trees, "Billy" jerks his head around like he's enraged that "Dutch" touched him. I think that may have been a scene where it came close to being a fight between the actors. Anyway, that's what I read about that actor. I've forgotten his name, but I know he died several years ago.
@@willmartin7293 That's insane 😬
What I like about this movie is the "shoe on the other foot" message when the hunter has all the advantages, using mimicry (like a duck or turkey call lol) and is taking the trophy to hang on the wall? It ain't no fun when the rabbits got the gun.
Big guy with guns... Commando. For the most 'Murica military Arnold movie ever.
Oh that one I have to show to her for sure
Not sure if this music was supposed to be funny- just wait for Commando, which was in direct competition with Rambo2 at the time. There’s some music choices in there that’s baffling but awesome too (because it’s Arnie) 😍
Don't remember the music in that one to be honest 😅 but I do think it would be a fun movie for her to react to!
A lot of the people in this movie became politicians.
Not sure if it’s true but I have heard that there was security around the actor for Billy. Not for him but to protect others from him
Some other people also told us that, I had no idea he was that volatile let's say 😅
A new Predator movie is coming soon. 🙌
Is it? Had no idea, but I'm not very surprised. The last one I've heard about was Prey, and it seems that most people really liked that one.
Such a good film hoped you both enjoyed it
Yes, she had a lot of fun watching it. And in my case its one of my favourites 😜
6:31 I got that joke right away, and it was funny as hell LMFAO!!!
Not enough Hawking's jokes in the movie 😂
predator 2 and predators please next
We put Predator 2 on our poll, let's see what will get chosen xD
If you'd like to see Arnold Schwarzenegger in a bit of a different and more human way try these 2 movies Kindergarten Cop (1990) and Jingle All the Way (1996). These two movies are not Sci-fi or Fantasy. The last Action Hero (1993) could be considered Action/Fantasy.
The Last Action Hero is definitely action/fantasy. I remember really enjoying it actually :)
Never seen the others though!
@@ptthatswhatshesaid The other 2 might be considered action/comedies. Nice to see Arnold being more human.
Predator is like a lovestory compared to the Thing
Can't wait for her to see that one! 😜
If you want to go full Arnold watch "Kindergarden Cop". Have some fun!
I've heard a lot about that one, but that's one of those that I also have never seen. Seems such a silly movie title 😅
*The Predator goes onto be a massive franchise....and it merged with Aliens. If you do all the movies you will see it*
I'll definitely introduce her to Alien vs Predator for sure, curious to hear her thoughts on it :p
@@ptthatswhatshesaidBut you got to at least go thru the other Predator episode...not for getting Alien, Don't forget in Alien3 there is a picture of the Predator in the movie. This was done on purpose because they planned the Alien vs Predator movie later
@@my.business Oh, I didn't notice or maybe didn't remembered that at all!
@@ptthatswhatshesaid so do all
hi nicely done thx
Thank you very much ☺
The only lazy part of this movie was them not getting a better joke for Billy to laugh so hard at lol
Yeah and the Predator didn't forgave Hawkins for that xD
Too bad the Predator didn't appreciate Hawkins' jokes and killed him first!
And he had just managed to make Billy laugh and all!
You really need to react to PREY-- great recent prequel/reboot/sequel
We will likely check that one out in the future yes
cs2 sounds in the bakground makes me alt tab lol
29:06 The predator was aiming for the gun, not or Arnie, notice how the gun explodes into pieces.
It is quite a quick scene, but it does make sense. Even though it might not be the case that the Predator was aiming at the gun, but that he missed his shot 🤔
I'm sure you were just trying to come of as teasing and being cute but I didn't care for your little smirking almost sarcastic questioning of your gf before it started. She was making some good observations
She usually always does, normally she does get a lot otf it right! Sorry, but we do like to act like that 😅
How about Junior ? 1994 movie .
great movie the second might be better (definitely funnier)
I think I will always consider the first one superior, but the second one is definitely interesting for sure, and different, and funny, and mean xD
bro your so lucky, you fish a young beautiful girl.
Fun fact there are 2 former United States Governors in this movie.
And as it was told to us, almost a 3rd if the actor who played Billy had continued his campaign and won xD
You're wife has a cool accent
ahahah, she apreciates that!
@@ptthatswhatshesaid sure no problem
are u GONNA watch P2 and AVP and PREY now too '? AND WHERE is the rambo conclusion !!
Planning to see more of Predator, Alien and Rambo? Of course. We will see which one gets picked first for us to see 😜
6:32,ha haaaaa
Ho yeah this is going to be good😊
Chec out kindergarten cop for a different view of Arnold.
Yes, need to! And I've heard that Junior is also a very different type of performance
🛸💛✌️
They’re actors, insulting their looks is lame.
Really not the kind of movie I want to see her have to sit through.
She is fine with it! What she usually can't handle very much is stright forward horror movies (or when animals get hurt 😬)
1st time??? Get a job 🙄
'It's giving me detective vibes?' WTF is she on about?! After 30 seconds, i found her annoying 😅
Film noir image of Dillan sited on a shadowy office chair drinking whisky 😅
@@ptthatswhatshesaid I think she is great!
Great! It is very interesting to see your joint detailed reaction to the film Robocop 1987. This is a cool movie 🦾🤖🔥
Do you have any plans to do it?
We have the reaction to it on our Patreon, but eventually I will do a youtube edit yop 😊
Cool! I will really look forward your lengthy and detailed reaction to this iconic movie 👍🔥
