If i remember correctly, those three predators or super predators specifically are highly suspected to be bad bloods. Bad bloods are the ones who break the honor and rules of the hunt and are banished or executed
As a meic main I must say, Nicolie is a better pocket than 80% of players. (He keeps a sandvich on him) and looks out for his doc instead of letting em burn to death while he eats said sandvich.
Everyone appears to overlook the fact that Hanzo was a Yakuza Assassin for the Inagawa-Kai family. Seeing someone like him face off against a super predator is pretty damn cool.
It's one of the best human vs. Yaujta fights in the series. And "Spoiler Alert" it ends in the classic samurai movie trope of Hanzo gets the win but dies immediately due to wounds sustained during the fight basically while yes Hanzo does score that fatal strike with his katana on the Falconer Predator's throat to kill it he ends up dying seconds after his victory cry due to the massive blood loss he suffered due to receiving massive lacerations on his stomach and torso via the Falconer Predator's wrist blades.
“Written and directed by Shane Black… treat the series with love” aged wonderfully, he introduced two new predators to the franchise… one which was on screen and one which was behind the scenes
There was supposed to be 4 in 2018 2 older emissaries “Fugitive “ “Assassin “ Also 2004 AVP was originally going to have 5 Predators ( they remained in the movie novelisation)
"Shane black. So you know he'll treat the series with love." At this moment james decided to never try telling the future ever again. Edit: yes, yes, I know. Shane black has made some good stuff. You can all leave me be now
Can I just say, I love this concept. Abduct a bunch of combat experienced people, drop them in a jungle environment with guns all over place (ala battle royal), and hunt them down like a pack of wolves. The people given their combat history they, will instinctively try to defend themselves. Not only will this make it a challenge for the Predators but it also means the humans won't trust each other so easily. This gives the Predators a slight advantage.
Aw, you skipped the scene where Hanzo explains his silence by holding up his hand, revealing missing fingers? "I talk too much." That's straight Yakuza shit.
9:52 forced? it makes sense by predators standards. they live to hunt the deadliest game. to them all the pray trapped in a room that is fulling with smoke, dying. that is no fun or even a worthy hunt for them, they rather have them get out and hunt them themselves. at least that is how I see it.
shadowwriter329 ...according to the lore they’re bad bloods, almost all super predators are. So honor don’t mean crap to them...but still your argument has a point
I think it's less honor for the bad bloods and more it wouldn't be fun, so while normal predators give their prey a chance because they want their kills to be honorable, the bad bloods give prey a chance so they can have fun killing them
It has always bothered me that Royce combines the fire and mud ideas for the finale. The fire essentially blinds the predator because everything he sees is now a heat signature and the mud hides humans because it hides their heat signature. Since he used both, wouldn't the predator now see a blue figure running a yellow background (since he's surrounded by fire) so just the inverse of normal? What difference would that make? Maybe I'm just missing something...
I think Royce was using the fire to blind the Berserker Pred while hiding in areas that weren't on fire. He hides in the growth between attacks, then strikes when Pred isn't looking.
Works better honestly, it's something the mythbusters largely got right with thermal sensor testing precisely to bust the movie trope. Increasing the background heat while at least temporarily masking some of his own would help make it harder to target him.
9:46 while I agree it’s pretty convenient that the predators opened a door for the cast, it would make sense that the predators would want a more honorable challenge rather than watching all their prey suffocate in a cage
Or he just didn't want to fight them in an enclosed space where he had no advantages against them and wanted to give them a way out so he can pick them off much easier.
@@virgiljianu7166 I agree with this. The Predators here are Bad Bloods. Meaning they broke there species code of honor. Most often normal Preds typically give whatever they are hunting a fighting chance. Makes for better sport. Out of the 3 Preds that seemed to be the most honorable was the fletching Pred who fought/died to hanzo. The other 2 were more cheap in there hunting ways. Tracker not doing all the work and using beasts to get easy kills. And Berserker simply not caring that a down human was alive. Didn’t give him a fighting chance.
These predators have no code of conduct. As Cue mentioned they are bad blood and broke the rules. He did it cause he wants them to think they are safe so he could kill him one by one.
@@virgiljianu7166 this is the most likely case, these predators are not honorable, they don't give a S- about how they kill their prey, just want the kill
there were several hints that the doctor was actually crazy, the first being that he was there on the planet to begin with, second was immediately leaving the russian guy behind right after being rescued by him and then using the picture of his kids as his own. it was not that hard to pick up on the fact that guy was not all right in the head imo.
Also, when Danny Trejo is being used as bait, Nikolai appears to say a prayer, Isabel mercy shoots him, and the doctor walks away from the "wounded" man faster than the convicted killer does.
I actually really liked this movie. 1. Adds to the Yautja lore by introducing a planetary game reserve they drop their prey into. 2. The Predator v Yakuza sword fight, one of the most badass ways to go out in any Predator film. 3. Solid action sequences throughout. 4. A Predator v Predator fist fight. 5. I thought the twist with Edwin as a serial killer was a good one, and explains why someone as unassuming as him wound up in the preserve.

I agree, the serial killer plot twist could have been done better but otherwise I also rank this movie no.2 in the series, to be fair though it doesn't have much competition
I hate it because it feels like to me some entitled idiots who actually just bunch of overconfident amateurs with big budget believe they can do better but all they actually can do is make it bigger but bigger is not beter all the time. There are super predators now who are stronger, bigger, cooler i guess AAAAND there is nothing special about them they just bigger and to add salt to injury they easily can kill the predators we grow to love cause they are bigger, stronger, cooler. Yeah you guesed it the super predators didn't work for me. To give a metaphor to me it's like in a lame shonen anime where we see a LOOOOOOONG fight for episodes they punch each other thousands of times shot glowing stuff to each other thousands of times they powered up 2-3 times the whole town is in ruins now. Then episodes later the next fight is even longer and bigger now the half of the planet is in ruins but by now anyone who were interested in the plot before the fights abandoned the anime. A counter example is Prey. The predator in that movie is still a predator but different not cooler not bigger, different. His hunting culture is different his personality is different. The old classic predator we love but still something new. Now to the humans, again nothing special about them especially Royce who also does the thing I hate even when I was 10 watching movies. Let's compare him to Dutch he was intelligent always aware of the strange things happening them and the more information is revealed he the closer he gets what is happening. Royce on the other hand is Professor X he sees two face mascle moving and he can say the person's life story from birth to present. He's just so unrelatable edgy character with one liners we heard hundreds of times. I can't say anything about the others cause there is nothing to say about them except the Yakuza guy he was cool. When he killed the predator everyone in the theater turned on each other including me and my friedns. Still this movie is an all time classic, must watch, worthy of every award and critical praise movie compared to what came 8 years later,
11:55 generally the Predators due tend to have a good understanding of human language, and are a honor-bound group, so it is way more likely to help him then one would think.
The one plothole in this movie is Topher Grace's character knew that the plant on the alien planet is poisonous. Like, what? Is he some kind of intergalactic botanist or something?
I'm just assuming that the planet they're on since it's a game reserve has stuff that is both edible and dangerous for humans, what sport is there if your prey is going to starve to death
There are some universal rules when it comes to life. If it has razor sharp teeth and eyes narrowed down at you, chances are it wants to eat you, for example.
Plants are plants so it's more of a study thing that you'd know it by similar traits. So it wasn't that dumb but i do hate the actor and wished he'd died way earlier then at the end. So dumb. It was an uncharacteristic choice for a movie of warriors that enjoy hunting tuff bastards. So it was my only gripe with the film. Other then that it was way better then the others with the exception of the first since that film is still the best but this damn almost came close to topping it. But damn you grace for dragging it down.
It’s a extinct plant , the predators are all for “challenge “ stocking their game planet with stuff that could kill them aswell as their prey , but also providing other edible plants , giving their prey a glimpse into their life style , the beast inside
According to Nimród Antal and Robert Rodriguez on the commentary, in the script, the character Cuchillo was described as "a guy who looks like Danny Trejo." When Danny Trejo heard this, he called Robert Rodriguez and said, "hey, I heard there's a guy in the script for 'Predators' who looks just like Danny Trejo, and guess what, I look just like Danny Trejo!"
Dude, I’m surprised that only 1 guy died due to parachute malfunction, especially if they woke up to falling, cause if I was there I would be hella in shock and just be fslling
@@YinAndJerry When people like @Twisted Bonnie Bro don't pay attention to how someone means to address something and straight up speculates random shit. 😒
4:05 You'd be right in your assumption. The planet to the left is a gas giant, it actually looks like a carbon copy of Jupiter. i would assume that all of these bodies orbit the giant seeing how most gas giants tend to have higher gravitational pull than rocky and icy bodies do due to the potential of a dense metallic core. The chunks surrounding it might actually be a moon which may have strayed into it's Roche limit and broke apart which will eventually form a planetary ring. Plus, the chunks surrounding that gas giant are WAY too big to be asteroids, that *had* to have been a moon. The body they are on is so close to what appears to be *another* moon that they themselves are WELL within the Roche limit of, and depending on it's mass, should be completely shredding it to pieces. As for the other planets in the background, they look about the right distance for the planet the characters are on to orbit. Though, i cant quite tell if the planets in question are breaking up, or if that's a cloud partially obscuring it.
just a theory but i think the characters in predators got killed by the order of who hollywood (or U.S. government take you'r pick) see as the greatest evil 1st the narco cartel dude Danny 2nd the Death squad member 3rd Spetsnaz Nikolai 4th convicted criminal Stan that got his spine and skull ripped out 5th the yakuza 6th the psycho doctor and of course the mercenary and the black ops sniper working for the good ol' u.s. of a survive (i just mentioned people from the starting group)
The 1st Predator was a masterpiece. They trolled us into thinking it was an action movie before shifting into a Sci-Fi movie. The 2nd movie did the same and tricked us into thinking it was a cop thriller before becoming a sci fi movie. It became a cult classic, but it's a great movie
"Also, Nikolai's minigun got taken out in the process. Hopefully he still has a sandwich on him." *Translation* "Also Misha's Sasha ran out of bullets in the process. Hopefully he still has a sandvich on him." (or an ammo pack nearby)
Arnold was going to comeback at the in on a helicopter and tell the survivors to come with him but he wasn’t able to make it to the shooting or something else
Holy fuck . . . STOP, STOP THAT SHIT RIGHT NOW HOW DARE YOU 😭 I was literally thinking when i clicked on this "Bruh i loved this movie as a kid" now I dont know what to feel cause it's a mix of nostalgia, lowkey hate, and fear 😂
10:33 can we talk about how ABSOLUTELY POWERFUL you need to be to pull that off. The OG used his blade gauntlet to tear the corpses open (we saw it happen to Billy in the first) meanwhile Berserker just bear-hands Stan's spine. I also want to add that the iconic spine rip move is physically impossible bc of the vertebral structure
I guess that's as far as our human imaginations can get. Predators=Protoss=Elites Xenomorphs=Zergs=The Flood(kinda...) Were there any other major franchises that didn't use this mold?
At approximately 9:45 the tracker predator lets them out to continue the hunt. It would be too easy to kill them all in the room. They brought them there to hunt them, not just to kill them.
@@windowsVD I always thought it was. I might have read it on the back of a Neca package when I was like, 12. I know a Xenomorph was his first kill for sure.
This was actually a really fun movie I watched with my family. It's just one of those series my dad loved. Plus my family just loved theorizing throughout, mostly just my mom who loves to contradict my own theories.
When James said "I love this doctor" in a heavy voice, near 3:20 I think, and in 6:43 he referenced the sandvich, and in 10:10 when he said if only he was übered, it made ma a tf2 fan, happy
@@professorutonium5095 that just makes me laugh automatically, imagining some guy getting punched by a thug and then yelling MEEEEDIIIIC like what is the thug supposed to do at that point, taunt?
I honestly love the twist with the weenie doctor. He's the mirror of the convict. Convict: antisocial, aggressive, limited empathy, understands the situation and world around him in all its bloody glory Doctor: charming, manipulative, complete lack of empathy, delusions of grandeur (which, honestly, could have been foreshadowed earlier) I also like how the lady sniper isn't the only one whose "fatal flaw" is empathy in a pack of human predators. The Russian dying to save Weenie is a nice bit of foreshadowing I particularly clicked with in a recent viewing. Though, I should have picked up on the "family man" trope before. Got kids? In a horror (ish) movie? Dead meat. Yes, I forgot most of their names. Except Cuchillo, cuz I found it a funny callback to Trejo's "defining" role. Cuchillo means knife.
It's also believed the 3 preds in this movie have been banished from their home world (most likely from killing another predator) and are confined to this planet (besides being allowed to search for prey for hunts) and the predator that was hung up was most likely sent to eliminate them but was captured, this is why the 3 main predators don't have morals (injured or incapable prey) and will hunt and kill without remorse.
So they're banished to this planet, but they have ships they can use to go get prey from Earth whenever they want? Why would they keep returning to this place? ..or is someone else sending them carefully selected, elite prey to hunt?
all predator can become bad blood but that clan is "Super predators" a SUB SPECIES of Yautja which consists of Falconer predator, Tracker Predator, and the berserker predator (which is the clan leader and the only member that doesn't care who he kills).. but if you're saying bad blood predator they are the predator that's been cast out in Yautja prime bcuz of Bad behavior and their clan leader will take all of their weapons and trophy
and that predator that's been crucified is a young blood predator a type of predator that has limited knowledge about fighting or hunting in short teenagers
I normally agree with you James but no that twist was actually really well done and fits the psychosis of a serial killer believing he's "more than human". Its also further expanded upon behind the scenes that Topher's character is a delusional killer with a superiority complex who was under the impression that he was brought onto the preserve to hunt WITH the predators. Believing because he's a killer he fits in with them a lot more than he fits with normal humans
To be honest, looking back, it's actually foreshadowed well in a couple scenes. When he leaves Nikolai for dead, he doesn't seem all that fearful or remorseful, he just runs on out like a job well done. I always thought that weird, but never really made the connection. Then, when he tries to claim the kids on the picture are his, that also kind of tells of his whole personality, taking bits and pieces to use later. While his monologue is a bit silly, he is actually kind of interesting in a way. Sort of like a darker version of Machiko from the books, except not successful at actually joining the hunters.
This has to be my favourite Predator film. Nikolai and Hanzo are such cool characters. Also that shot at 4:10 was actually my school Chromebook wallpaper, and my go to slideshow background for about 2 years
@jerry_jeremiah yep if you get the DVD and look under special features, they have a behind the scenes mini documentary about how they made the movie and where they filmed. It was filmed in a mix of the Jungles in Hawaii and Forests+Hill Country of Texas. The majority, which was around 60%, was filmed in Texas Hill Country, mostly Austin-based locations. The cliff scene of them rolling down the cliff into the water was filmed in Hamilton Springs (Dripping Springs), Texas.
T.R. Luxx13 I did and they said it was filmed in hawaii. Some people from the movie have a Reddit where you can ask them questions and someone asked where the waterfall scene was at and one said at Hawaii.
I kinda wish Nolan was replaced with Arnold and that everyone there had survived past predators and they were taken to see who was the strongest I think that would’ve been cool

They hunted and killed other yautja. Regardless of what other rules they did or didnt break, that alone makes them bad bloods

Then episodes later the next fight is even longer and bigger now the half of the planet is in ruins but by now anyone who were interested in the plot before the fights abandoned the anime.
A counter example is Prey. The predator in that movie is still a predator but different not cooler not bigger, different. His hunting culture is different his personality is different. The old classic predator we love but still something new.
Now to the humans, again nothing special about them especially Royce who also does the thing I hate even when I was 10 watching movies. Let's compare him to Dutch he was intelligent always aware of the strange things happening them and the more information is revealed he the closer he gets what is happening. Royce on the other hand is Professor X he sees two face mascle moving and he can say the person's life story from birth to present. He's just so unrelatable edgy character with one liners we heard hundreds of times. I can't say anything about the others cause there is nothing to say about them except the Yakuza guy he was cool. When he killed the predator everyone in the theater turned on each other including me and my friedns.
Still this movie is an all time classic, must watch, worthy of every award and critical praise movie compared to what came 8 years later,

11:55 generally the Predators due tend to have a good understanding of human language, and are a honor-bound group, so it is way more likely to help him then one would think.
The one plothole in this movie is Topher Grace's character knew that the plant on the alien planet is poisonous. Like, what? Is he some kind of intergalactic botanist or something?
I'm just assuming that the planet they're on since it's a game reserve has stuff that is both edible and dangerous for humans, what sport is there if your prey is going to starve to death
There are some universal rules when it comes to life.
If it has razor sharp teeth and eyes narrowed down at you, chances are it wants to eat you, for example.
if it looks like a carnivorous plant and has mucus dripping down from it then it's pretty safe to assume that it ain't safe to consume nor touch
Plants are plants so it's more of a study thing that you'd know it by similar traits. So it wasn't that dumb but i do hate the actor and wished he'd died way earlier then at the end. So dumb. It was an uncharacteristic choice for a movie of warriors that enjoy hunting tuff bastards. So it was my only gripe with the film. Other then that it was way better then the others with the exception of the first since that film is still the best but this damn almost came close to topping it. But damn you grace for dragging it down.
It’s a extinct plant , the predators are all for “challenge “ stocking their game planet with stuff that could kill them aswell as their prey , but also providing other edible plants , giving their prey a glimpse into their life style , the beast inside
According to Nimród Antal and Robert Rodriguez on the commentary, in the script, the character Cuchillo was described as "a guy who looks like Danny Trejo." When Danny Trejo heard this, he called Robert Rodriguez and said, "hey, I heard there's a guy in the script for 'Predators' who looks just like Danny Trejo, and guess what, I look just like Danny Trejo!"

4:05 You'd be right in your assumption.
The planet to the left is a gas giant, it actually looks like a carbon copy of Jupiter. i would assume that all of these bodies orbit the giant seeing how most gas giants tend to have higher gravitational pull than rocky and icy bodies do due to the potential of a dense metallic core. The chunks surrounding it might actually be a moon which may have strayed into it's Roche limit and broke apart which will eventually form a planetary ring. Plus, the chunks surrounding that gas giant are WAY too big to be asteroids, that *had* to have been a moon.
The body they are on is so close to what appears to be *another* moon that they themselves are WELL within the Roche limit of, and depending on it's mass, should be completely shredding it to pieces.
As for the other planets in the background, they look about the right distance for the planet the characters are on to orbit. Though, i cant quite tell if the planets in question are breaking up, or if that's a cloud partially obscuring it.
Long story short from HP McDoogle, big planets in a close space equals mtg's crucible of worlds.
@@alexm7689 ........what?
Big planets + high gravity (because copies of Jupiter) = destruction. The mtg joke is for all a the nerds out there.

How could they kill off Danny Trejo so early :(
Seems like every horror movie he plays in he gets killed, Predators, Three Headed Shark, Rise Of The Zombies, Rob Zombies remake of Halloween.
They couldn’t afford him 😅
Don’t forget anaconda
just a theory but i think the characters in predators got killed by the order of who hollywood (or U.S. government take you'r pick) see as the greatest evil 1st the narco cartel dude Danny 2nd the Death squad member 3rd Spetsnaz Nikolai 4th convicted criminal Stan that got his spine and skull ripped out 5th the yakuza 6th the psycho doctor and of course the mercenary and the black ops sniper working for the good ol' u.s. of a survive (i just mentioned people from the starting group)
Oh it’s like this *BANG*
Predators is the only worthy sequel to Predator. Not perfect, but solid.
TheLegendOfRandy predator 2 was also decent but predators were better
Yeah boys, I really liked Predators.
Predator 2018 was such a wank stain.

TheLegendOfRandy predator 2 had a cool predator but the story was garbage, this movie was great
@@hoetato3131 excuse me
The 1st Predator was a masterpiece. They trolled us into thinking it was an action movie before shifting into a Sci-Fi movie.
The 2nd movie did the same and tricked us into thinking it was a cop thriller before becoming a sci fi movie. It became a cult classic, but it's a great movie

10:33 can we talk about how ABSOLUTELY POWERFUL you need to be to pull that off. The OG used his blade gauntlet to tear the corpses open (we saw it happen to Billy in the first) meanwhile Berserker just bear-hands Stan's spine. I also want to add that the iconic spine rip move is physically impossible bc of the vertebral structure
Alright James, I see you with that 6:30 reference to Moonlight. I see you.

12:32 is an underrated scene. Just look how badass it looks. The OG predator with Royce on his side.
13:01 speaking of Halo, I noticed the predators are very much like the Elites from Halo.

At approximately 9:45 the tracker predator lets them out to continue the hunt. It would be too easy to kill them all in the room. They brought them there to hunt them, not just to kill them.

I honestly love the twist with the weenie doctor. He's the mirror of the convict.
Convict: antisocial, aggressive, limited empathy, understands the situation and world around him in all its bloody glory
Doctor: charming, manipulative, complete lack of empathy, delusions of grandeur (which, honestly, could have been foreshadowed earlier)
I also like how the lady sniper isn't the only one whose "fatal flaw" is empathy in a pack of human predators. The Russian dying to save Weenie is a nice bit of foreshadowing I particularly clicked with in a recent viewing. Though, I should have picked up on the "family man" trope before. Got kids? In a horror (ish) movie? Dead meat.
Yes, I forgot most of their names. Except Cuchillo, cuz I found it a funny callback to Trejo's "defining" role. Cuchillo means knife.

It's also believed the 3 preds in this movie have been banished from their home world (most likely from killing another predator) and are confined to this planet (besides being allowed to search for prey for hunts) and the predator that was hung up was most likely sent to eliminate them but was captured, this is why the 3 main predators don't have morals (injured or incapable prey) and will hunt and kill without remorse.
They could be bad bloods, or they can just be from separate clans.
So they're banished to this planet, but they have ships they can use to go get prey from Earth whenever they want? Why would they keep returning to this place? ..or is someone else sending them carefully selected, elite prey to hunt?
i think so...
all predator can become bad blood but that clan is "Super predators" a SUB SPECIES of Yautja which consists of Falconer predator, Tracker Predator, and the berserker predator (which is the clan leader and the only member that doesn't care who he kills).. but if you're saying bad blood predator they are the predator that's been cast out in Yautja prime bcuz of Bad behavior and their clan leader will take all of their weapons and trophy
and that predator that's been crucified is a young blood predator a type of predator that has limited knowledge about fighting or hunting in short teenagers
That line about Shane Black treating the series with love has aged like milk
I normally agree with you James but no that twist was actually really well done and fits the psychosis of a serial killer believing he's "more than human". Its also further expanded upon behind the scenes that Topher's character is a delusional killer with a superiority complex who was under the impression that he was brought onto the preserve to hunt WITH the predators. Believing because he's a killer he fits in with them a lot more than he fits with normal humans
To be honest, looking back, it's actually foreshadowed well in a couple scenes.
When he leaves Nikolai for dead, he doesn't seem all that fearful or remorseful, he just runs on out like a job well done. I always thought that weird, but never really made the connection. Then, when he tries to claim the kids on the picture are his, that also kind of tells of his whole personality, taking bits and pieces to use later.
While his monologue is a bit silly, he is actually kind of interesting in a way. Sort of like a darker version of Machiko from the books, except not successful at actually joining the hunters.
Not going to lie you should have counted his imaging friend to the kill count LOL

This has to be my favourite Predator film. Nikolai and Hanzo are such cool characters. Also that shot at 4:10 was actually my school Chromebook wallpaper, and my go to slideshow background for about 2 years
I love how a portion of this movie was actually shot in Texas because they found plants and forests that looked like they weren't from earth...
@jerry_jeremiah yep if you get the DVD and look under special features, they have a behind the scenes mini documentary about how they made the movie and where they filmed. It was filmed in a mix of the Jungles in Hawaii and Forests+Hill Country of Texas. The majority, which was around 60%, was filmed in Texas Hill Country, mostly Austin-based locations. The cliff scene of them rolling down the cliff into the water was filmed in Hamilton Springs (Dripping Springs), Texas.
T.R. Luxx13 wrong the waterfall is filmed at Hawaii
T.R. Luxx13 I did and they said it was filmed in hawaii. Some people from the movie have a Reddit where you can ask them questions and someone asked where the waterfall scene was at and one said at Hawaii.
