Addie getting scared by every single cut to the Predator vision is comedy gold
Frankly I find it slightly more annoying than entertaining, but ok.
It's really annoying
I need a supercut of all of them together.
I just came here to say this :D
@@ЮрийКаспарян-з7л yeah but youre russian, so who cares
What's scary about the Predator is that it's based on how humans hunt animals. Use of camouflage, mimicking the prey animals' calls, superior weaponry, ambush from the trees, etc.
👆🏾
"You son of a CHOPPA!" That made my day.
Yes! "Biceps - The Movie!" A true classic. A simple yet effective premise executed to near perfection, and with one of the coolest creature designs ever. Also Arnold of course. :)
Great reaction as always.
I love Dutch's learning curve in this movie. It felt gradual and earned. After every encounter he learned from his mistakes and adjusted his tactics accordingly. He even got the drop on the Predator more than once, so it didn't feel like his victory was completely unrealistic.
Yes but my favorite part of this movie is when I see myself naked
“Gradual and earned”
Everything that most modern movies (mostly sequels) are not.
That's the problem with movies nowadays, they learn how to beat an opponent in a very fast pace, making it so unrealistic..
@@karlluigi1987
Cough* Rey cough* cough*
Survival via the rational mind - not muscle. A basic but profoundly true philosophic fact about human nature.
I love the fact that Addie jumpscares every time the frame switches to "Predator's POV", even though it's just a normal thermal camera 🤣 (The Predator sees heat signatures)
Awesome reaction, btw, one of my favourite YT reactors :)
25:40 Predator is basically an elite hunter, and he takes trophies (bones, skulls and other stuff). He doesn't hunt for food or cause he must, he hunts for sport, forever seeking new challenges and a worthy opponent. He can be confused in several ways: as he sees heat signatures, you can block yours (by applying mud), or heat your environment up (by setting it on fire). That will confuse his targeting system and sight/preception in general.
Saw this in the theater with my father when I was in my mid teens. I never saw a trailer and I was mesmerized to the screen from beginning to end. To this day, still one of my all time favorite movies! I love the fact that people are still entranced by this masterpiece.
That is such an awesome memory to have. The first time I saw it was with my dad too. It was past my bedtime, but he let me stay up late to watch it with him. Definitely a "don't tell your mother" moment. 😝 One of my most cherished memories.
This is the first time I have ever seen a reactor go "awww" at the Arnie/Weathers biceps-closeup shot, as if it was a video of a puppy sneezing.
I was lucky enough to visit the Predator filming location in 2015. It's now a zip-line tourist attraction just outside of Puerto Vallarta, and the enemy base camp seen at 9:23 is a restaurant. They even have a life-sized statue of the Predator there!
Predator is a slasher film. The Predator is a serial killer from outer space and Arnie is the Final Girl.
I mean he is hot as fuck. But is he a virgin.
Poor Addie. She’ll forever suffer PTSD from simple POV transitions. 😂 One of the best movies.
A simple idea, Bad ass soldiers come across something more deadly than them in the jungle. The whole vibe and setting make this a classic action movie, with a bit of horror. After all Billy getting his spine ripped out was pretty horrifying, even though he was dead.
Watching Addie jump and be twitchy this whole movie... is my new favourite thing, I think.
Addie (as arnie goes over the falls): Can we get a break?
My gallows humour: Arm, leg, or neck? (for the break...)
Oh and for the record... it is a "trophy hunter" there is no point in it just the trophy. It wants to test the best among human warriors and meet them in "fair" combat... and kill the best.
Great reaction, Addie.
The Predator was a hunter collecting trophies of his kills, as people would do of wild animals, going from world to world to do so.
Other Arnie films to react to which I recommend are: 'True Lies' which is an action adventure comedy, 'Total Recall' Sc-Fi action film, 'Twins' a comedy, 'End of Days' which is horror action film, there are others but these are some of my favourites.
Fun fact: the predator's species name is Yautja. Not sure how to pronounce it though 😂
@@Kushgroove714 Thanks, I didn't know that, a great bit of trivia.
iautia,or spanish pronuncation which is iaut-ha
McTiernan knew how to make movies. 'Die Hard', 'The Hunt for Red October', 'Last Action Hero'. Even with 'Medicine Man' he did all he could do. And 'Basic', what a ride.
It’s so hilarious seeing you jump so many times when the Predator’s vision comes up! The second film dives into more of what the Predator is capable of and it’s own ‘moral code’. That movie is just as great as the first Predator! Additionally, there’s a surprise reference that you’ll recognize when you see it! Great reaction, Addie! I wasn’t expecting this movie to be on the list and it was a wonderful surprise! :D
Addie jumping at the mini-gun was peak RUclips
Such a fun film. The pacing in this movie is fantastic. And yes, the Predator is there to collect skulls. Think of him like an alien big game hunter, except instead of going after lions, bears, crocs etc, they go after species like humans. :D If you wind up watching the 2nd one, they reveal a bit more about the Predator species in that.
Predators come to Earth where there is extreme heat and conflict in search of worthy opponents to hunt. The greater the challenge, the more honor the trophy will bring to the hunter. So basically they are alien sports hunters.
Yeap, like taking your boat out in the weekend and go fishing with the boys
Wonder if they got a cabellas or bass pro shop.
The Predator is an interstellar trophy hunter.
Unlike most humans, he does not hunt for food, he hunts purely for the challenge and sport of the hunt.
Interesting fact about this movie.
It boasts three politicians in the cast.
Arnold Schwarzenegger went on to become the governor of California.
Jesse Ventura went on to become the governor of Minnesota.
Sonny Landham ran for office three times in Kentucky.
Mr. Landham ran for governor of Kentucky but failed to gain his party's nomination in the primaries.
Mr. Landham then ran for Kentucky state senator and lost.
Mr. Landham then ran for US Senate for the state of Kentucky and lost that as well.
The Predator is really nothing of the sort. It is actually a big game hunter who hunts for sport and trophies (and competition with its own kind), and there is no bigger game than intelligent, armed game like humans.
Predator mimicking and taunting Dutch's men is not only intimidating but downright scary! Especially when the Predator uses Billy's laugh at the end of the film before the Predator nuked himself! -OG
"Let's get muddy!" - line of the video. :)
In answer to your question, the reason the Predator does it is for sport. It likes hunting. It picks soldiers and other "dangerous" people (which is why it leaves Anna alive. Dutch says "it didn't kill you because you were unarmed. No sport."). It collects skulls of "worthy" opponents as trophies, like Billy because he challenged the Predator in melee combat rather than using guns.
Addie getting JUMPED by the scene transitions is friggin hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
lol she is extremely jumpy today isn't she xD
11:17 I think Addie is hilarious!! "WHY?!"🤣👍🏻 She gets so invested into every movie that she watches that any sudden movement or any sudden noise gets her jumping. LOL!! Great reaction video to such an iconic movie!! 😂👍🏻
Your jump scares made me laugh pretty good. I lost count. 😂
“Get to da choppa!” (Ultimate line from the film)
My favorite scenes in the Predator movies are when you see the Predator/Yautja tending to his injuries. It shows he’s not like your standard unkillable mindless monster, and instead an intelligent sports hunter who relies on skill as well as strength
relies
YES!!!
MY #1 FAVORITE ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER MOVIE!
Facts you didn't know about the movie:
Jean Claude van Damme played the Predator in some parts of the movie, but quit production as he was tired of wearing the original suit which looked like a lizard insect hybrid.
He even wanted to kickbox Arnold but the producers refused.
Kevin Peter Hall, RIP, was cast as the titular character as he was more of an intimidating opponent for Arnold's character Dutch being 7'2".
The PREDATOR suit was designed by Oscar Winning VFX company Stan Winston Studios and would later return to the franchise for PREDATOR 2 in 1990.
The design of the Predator was based on the painting of a Rastafarian warrior that Joel Silver had in his office.
The mandibles were James Cameron's idea, as both him and Stan Winston were flying to Japan to promote ALIENS.
Half the cast and crew got food poisoning except for Arnold and Director McTiernan whom ate Spaghetti O's and PBJ Sandwiches. Schwarzenegger would later hire his own personal Chef to give the actors the food they needed but no hot meals were allowed due to the heat wave in Mexico so they ate protein bars instead.
The producers hired a bodyguard to protect people from Sonny Landham, RIP whom played Billy, as he was prone to violent outbursts.
Landham said in an interview that "We weren't making a movie, it was a survival story for all of us."
The stuntman that falls off the cliff and lands in the water blew out his kneecap.
It was 110 degrees in the shade while it was 42 degrees due to rain that lasted 2 weeks, making filming even more difficult.
The film was a box office success, making $100 million dollars ($470 million dollars today) against an $18 million dollar budget.
It was nominated for Best Visual Effects but lost to InnerSpace.
It's been confirmed as one of the best Sci-fi Action movies ever made.
Kevin Peter Hall also played the pilot of the rescue chopper at the end of the movie.
Arnold is amazing in Total Recall (1990) too!
Addie if you like sword and sorcery, Conan the Barbarian. If you like sci-fi, then watch Total Recall. Both movies are exceptional.
The pilot wearing an aviator glasses at that ending... He played the Predator 👌👍
Fun fact. Arnold wasnt acting when he first seen the predator. He had never seen the costume design for the predator before this scene so it was a genuine shock to him and he couldnt help but speak the line "You are one ugly motherfucker" which was totally off script but was kept as the director enjoyed his reaction
In Predator 2 (1990) When Mike Harrigan at the Slaughterhouse unmasked the Yautja City Hunter in ‘97 he said the same thing until the City Hunter grabbed him by the neck and finished off the line.
What I miss about the 80s and 90s films and especially Arnold movies are the sarcastic remarks and puns. It's never overly done or hand hold the viewer. Just if you catch it, great. If not, moving along.
Conan The Barbarian is one of Arnie's early but iconic roles and a must see for any Arnie fan. Great reaction Addie
I love how addie goes from RBF to the prettiest smile in no time. haha.
@Addie Counts the predator speices is called the Yautja. It does what it does because he is a trophy hunter. It only hunts those who are "worthy quarry" it's entire culture revolves are hunting for sport and glory. It won't hunt a target that it thinks isn't worth it's time, such as individuals who are sick, weak, unarmed, or pregnant. it won't kill kill those individuals because their is no "honor " in doing that.
Basically the best way to survive against the predator is to simply not be armed with any weapons and look as non-threatening as possible.
The Predator was on a hunting trip to Earth, collecting worthy trophies. The sequel Predator 2 is worth a watch, and more focused on action than suspense/horror, but Arnold is not in it.
He’s a trophy hunter. Lotta humans like that, he’s just the extra-solar version of that.
Drinking game: every time Addie is startled by the sound + score editing, bottoms up. 😄
When me and my mate watched this in the late 80s in the theater, we had no idea about the sci-fi angle or the creature. We just thought we were watching a standard action flick.
Addie, I think the only horror you'd like is The Little Shop of Horrors lol ;) Love the reactions though. Keep up the great work! (And we need more Ollie cameos)
Trivia!!! Peter Cullen (the voice of Optimus Prime) provided the clicking sounds and voice of the Predator.
The Predator just kills for sport, keeping the skulls as trophies. Yet he does like a fair fight. Which is why he never went after the woman. She never had a weapon.
And Dutch yells at her when she’s about to pick up weapon.
Last Action Hero is a supremely under rated gem of Arnold's. I highly recommend
It suffered under the weight of its own ad campaign. If the studio had just given them a few more months and released it as a teen film, which is what it was, the film would have done reasonably well. But they were so set on having a summer blockbuster that they oversold it targeting the wrong audience and it imploded. You're right that it's under-rated, but it's not the best work of anyone involved.
@@cmlemmus494 Sure, not the best work of anyone involved but still a super fun ride. I'm not so sure about it being a teen movie though. There were some rather adult moments to it that I think shoved it out of the teen category. Maybe that's why they had such a hard time marketing it? It didn't quite fit nicely into any specific boxes? Part teen, part comedy, part action, part satire?
@@Noahsampeer Not to mention, part shite.
A friendly neighborhood snake? I'm not going to your neighborhood...
The Predator was a Trophy Hunter, like a big game hunter here on Earth :)
Arnold has some great comedies if you want a change of pace. Kindergarten Cop and Twins are two of the funniest. And True Lies is a great action comedy directed and co-written by James Cameron himself.
True Lies is a remake with steroids from a french movie.
Don't forget Last Action Hero! One of Arnie's best!
Most "Man" movie ever made. Much love to the Yjungja.
The Predator uses mirror type camouflage technology to mirror its surroundings.
So, the predator is essentially a game hunter. The camouflage, the skinning, the trophies, it's what hunters do when they hunt. The soldiers tried to deal with it by being soldiers and that failed. Only when Arnold started acting like a hunter, did he make a difference. _He_ put on camo, _he_ set traps and then it was the _predator_ that was firing blindly, it was the _predator_ being hunted. This movie is one fantastic callback after another!
TO ALL: Regardless of genre, from now on tell Addie it's a horror movie whenever recommending a movie to her.
The best way to describe The Predator is essentially he's an alien big game hunter. He just happens to go after humans and his species like to use skulls as trophies.
The Predator was on holiday, on safari on earth. Only killed worthy opponents.
I'm glad they don't reveal too much about the Predator in this movie. They say less is more. I think that's true. The less you know about the Predator, the scarier he becomes. But it's also twofold.
The less we know about the Predator, the more we want to know more about it. Perhaps this is part of the formula that makes this such a well received franchise with such a huge fan base. And why is it considered a favorite cult classic! -OG
I recommend you Conan the barbarian.
A masterpiece with Arnold.
The Stranger Things creators are actually big fans of the movie Predator and that’s why you can hear familiar names like Hawkins and Jim Hopper throughout the movie
Not So Fun Fact: The Predator was played by Kevin Peter Hall. He also played Harry in Harry And The Henderson's. A comedy about a family that finds Bigfoot (Harry) and brings him home to the suburbs. Kevin Peter Hall was over 7' tall and was a super nice guy in real life. He was in a bad car accident in 1992(?) and was rushed to the hospital. During surgery he was accidentally given contaminated blood and passed away. RIP Kevin Peter Hall
This is in relation to your thoughts about the horror/sci fi tag, supposedly this movie was pitched as a typical slasher movie (Friday the 13th, texas chainsaw massacre) but instead of horny teenagers the predator was hunting burley and capable men.
And yes, he was just toying with them
FYI, to the editor, I very much appreciate the new visual format with the movie window on the side. Good choice.
Addie, if this made you jump, you may want to avoid two movies: The Fly, starring Jeff Goldblum, and John Carpenter's The Thing. Even though both are great.
Predators are basically dangerous game hunters from another planet.
Kind of like the lion and tiger hunters from back in the day.
Predator was simply a trophy hunter, and man was what it considered "big game".
For more great Arnold, check out Total Recall and True Lies.
You're the smartest cookie out there,don't let anyone tell you different!
Addie! Remember when Arnold said the girl wasn't killed because she had no weapons...no sport? The Predator was hunting for sport.
Aww, lol... poor Addie gettin a jumpscare from the scene/music transition
Yes. Stranger things is set in the 80’s. His character is named after this 80’s iconic film.
One of the best written, produced and directed action movies of all time. Sadly it seems to be a rare art these days.
"Dylan! You son of a CHOPPA!!! LOL
Addie, other than making you jump, did the music sound a little familiar? It was composed by Alan Silvestri. He also did the music for the "Back to the Future" trilogy.
True Lies and Kindergarten Cop are my two suggestions.
I think 'son of a choppa' is my new go-to phrase when I need to keep it clean . . . . When you asked if Anna knew anything, her accent makes it a bit hard to make out: 'The Demon that makes trophies of man'.
Just wanted to add: Your editing on this is great. You've managed to keep the flow of the movie beats intact.
It's the thrill of the hunt for the predator and the skulls are bragging trophies
" I dont know whats gonnaaa happen! 🥶" ME: Thank you reaction gold gods!!!! 🙌🏻
You skipped the jokes? Some of the best guys being dudes jokes.
TO WATCH ARNOLD AT HIS SCARIEST YOU REALLY NEED TO WATCH " TOTAL RECALL " ADDIE! 😁😁😋😁
The Predator is a hunter, and the kind that kills just for collecting prizes.
It hunts different species for sport. Also fights fair. Which is why it didn't kill Anna and removed his mask and weapons to fight an unarmed Dutch at the end.
Now watch Arnold Schwarzenegger again in Commando, Kindergarten Cop & True Lies.
I was in my second year of HS when this came out. Such a good movie and it felt like they sat on the franchise, but there were AWESOME comics that came out after.
Watching you jump was hilarious. It was a big deal how gory it was back then. Of course we loved it.
Sir are you in UK or USA?
@@southlondon86 USA
When I was a kid this and Alien were my mom's favorite movies. She waited till I was 8 before showing me both, lol.
You just began one of the coolest movie franchises ever!
Yeah. My favorite movie of all time 💪🏼
Glad you have watched this, Addie ❤
Definitely up there in my book!
2:26 "Dylan you son of a CHOPPAAAA!"
😂😂
The predator is a trophy hunter. He didn't after anyone who was unarmed. When he finally caught Arnold, he lifted him to examine his skull because of the challenge he had. It would have been the pride of his collection, but had to be won in a "fair" fight.
"I seeee you!" So shoot him! Right now! From here! Oh, never mind.
22:02 kool-aid man: oh yeah!!!!
Next watch the biggest Arnold horror movie, kindergarten cop. It's terrifying
Collecting Trophies like Deer Hunters do when they mount their kill (taxidermy)
Addie, you are the sweetest thing. And major props to you for not only sitting through this action packed, suspenseful movie, but also bitting the bullet on your Ophidophobia throughout every single Indiana Jones movie. Don’t be afraid to react to more lighthearted movies either. For that Genre I’d recommended “Twins” staring both Arnold and Danny Devito as brothers if you can believe it! LOL! 😊
Twins is friiggin' fantastic!
@@Scottie_S for kids. That move was beginning of colaps of Arnold career ...
@@peju2789 That's the silliest comment I've ever read! Twins was released in 1988. His popularity and career accelerated with movies like Total Recall, Kindergarten Cop, Terminator 2, etc. after that.
@@Scottie_S sorry. It was "Junior". But Twins is not comedy in Arnold style. Just dumb movie. Only Kindergarten Cop was ok as a comedy but still nothing special.
The Predator's "thing" was to go to Earth to hunt humans, but not just any human. Like a hunter, the Predator liked the thrill of going after a 'warrior human', kind of like going after a 10 point buck.
The Predator had a huge advantage, since it already know what the game was, and had advance technology, while the humans had to figure out what the Predator even WAS, let alone how to deal with it.
When Billy tossed his gun, and cut himself with a big knife, he was doing some Native American ritual to prepare for death.
The soundtrack of the movie is severely underrated. Alan Silvestri's score is fantastic and imo, has a large contribution why the movie had such a great vibe.
And the 2nd score for Predator 2 is some of his greatest work, listen to the deluxe edition.
the ultimate trophy hunter ,this movie is still great so many years on :)
The guy chewing tobacco on the chopper (I ain’t got time to bleed ) it’s Jesse Ventura he served during the Vietnam war as navy udt seal .
Hi Addie hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤
Predator is a hunter so he is collecting a trophy. It is kind of like when we hunt a moose and hang the moose head in a mantle.
*This movie was filmed here in Mexico, in the mountains of Puerto Vallarta! There is even a theme park with zip lines for tourists.*
I would count it in the horror category, since it is essentially a slasher film, with Arnold being the final girl of that genre.
"Yeah, he's just kind of a pile of goo"--most accurate and succinct description by any reactor to this movie ever! 😄
I think no one has said it, a couple of facts that everyone knows:
1.-The first actor chosen to play the yautja (the species of the creature) was Jean-Claude Van Damme.
2.-The second actor who played the yautja was Kevin Peter Hall, who was 2.20 meters tall (7ft 2.7in). He also appears at the end of the film, playing the helicopter pilot.
Van Damme would have been awful.
He's, what?... 4ft 2?
It'd be like being stalked by a hungry hobbit.
This is EASILY one of the greatest teen-slasher type movies ever made, mostly because it doesn't actually start like most movies in the genre, and Arnie is one of the most iconic Final Girls ever committed to film
Teens? Arnie a "Final girl"? WTF are you on??🙄
Predator's really sci-fi/action/horror. Thank God there were no teens, or the climactic fight would've been beyond ridiculous.
@Deined dude, it's a slasher movie. I mentioned "teen" because they're the most common protagonists in slashers. The lone survivor at the end of a slasher movie is called the Final Girl, even if they're a guy. Therefore, Arnie is a Final Girl.
