Originally, Dutch was supposed to win when he and the Predator fought "man to man," but it was Arnie who said that wouldn't make any sense. He told them "I can't beat him. He's a monster. I'm just a man," and the story was rewritten with Dutch having to use his wits and his expertise in guerilla warfare to survive.
There's so much of this movie that is just happy accidents. The changing of the Predator design after they recast, sound design of the Predator growl, story rewrites. It also fit to make this just the perfect action movie
@@moviescatsmargs indeed,absolute perfection,even if there are flaws,still perfect,cheers!
Great direction when actors have their saying and make it happen,legendary!
Shane Black said he couldn't figure out how to end that final fight scene. He took a break from his writer's block and watched some TV. The only thing that was in english was Looney Toons. A Wile E Coyote gag gave him the inspiration for the killing blow.
@@Waldorf-2020 That's so funny. I always thought of Looney Toons when that log dropped on the Predator.
The log that he finally hits the Predator with is actually the counterweight for the twine which was the actual trap… the twine is positioned between the two logs above with the spikes tied to them, the twine is supposed to pull the Predator up and into those spikes. The fact that he ended up right underneath the counterweight wasn’t part of the plan, it was luck.
Probably widely known, but the actor who played Blaine, Jesse Ventura, was a former pro-wrestler and wrestling commentator who later went into politics and became governor of Minnesota. I've a cousin who's lived the for decades, and they told me when he was in office, you see cars with bumper stickers reading, "Our governor can body slam your governor." Might have made politics more interesting if we just let state leaders fight amongst themselves, but I don't want to get too political.
Magy: "Let's see who is expendable."
Me thinking: "No Magy, that is a different movie, but thinking of it you should add "The Expendables" franchise on your watch list!".
I'm jealous of the guy who rescued Magy from that snake, lol.
The mud blocks the heat that’s how the creature sees through heat vision
Congratulations on passing 100k subscribers Magy! Have you received your award from RUclips yet?
Infrared vision: the ability to see body heat.
Billy was Native American, so he had a more spiritual feel towards nature and religious beliefs. That is why he took his "spirit bag" and wrapped it around the hand that he would be holding his weapon to fight with. He cut himself in order to "draw first blood", denying that "honor" from the Predator. Meaning that even if he dies while fighting him, Billy keeps his honor of not only drawing 'first blood', but also shows "no fear in the face of the enemy". Two important aspects to his religious and spiritual belief system in regard to what would be considered "honorable and courageous warrior conduct'.
A true warrior,mind & spirit.Badzz movie,always a fav!
I don't think it counts if you draw your own blood.
@@TStyx showing spite to the enemy can be a form of honour if you have no chance of victory. Especially if Billy had cottoned on to the fact the Predator lives by a code of honour.
I figured that his stance had something to do with his spiritual belief and warrior spirit. Thank you for the explination.
@@DaemonKeido precisely.
At 32:11 the Predator was scanning Dutch because he was trying to figure out what made him so special. We don't know how many times this particular one came to hunt men, but out of all the ones he faced, Dutch gave him the most fight. He was looking to see "Are you still human?" At the end when it repeated Dutch's question back at him ("What the hell are YOU?") it was a legit question. He never faced a human so intelligent, strong and cunning that it could best him. The Predator legit wanted to know "What the hell is this prey that he managed to hunt and kill me instead?" Truly amazing movie.
The cool thing about leaving some elements of it ambiguous is that we don't really know if The Predator species understand any human language, or if they're just parroting it cos they know it's a good lure. They notice what behaviours we exhibit when certain words are spoken and use that to their advantage to get us to "turn around" or come "over here." It's obvious they use this to taunt us though; it seems "turn around" and "over here" are equally used as lures and equally as scare tactics. The fact we don't know this means that The Predator saying that could just be it parroting the phrase like it's done a million times, and it's just serendipitous for it to have that other meaning, or it could be an element that makes The Predator even more intelligent and frightening. One thing is for sure; it knows how to fuck with Dutch, parroting Billy's laugh not only to show he has the upper hand, but also to confront him with his dead friend's voice.
This is such a cool creature concept.
Its more that he was looking at dutch and he still had mud over his nose, making his skull "Not worthy to collect" since it looked broken or missing. *its dark with blue rings.
Umm, no. This predator, like the ones that were sent out in AVP, basically teenagers going through a right of passage to become fully fledged warriors among their race's ranks. For the predator in this movie and the sequel, the other two that were sent out with it already died. However, the predator race was very interested in Dutch and how he was the only human that wasn't a warrior from birth specialist (like samurais and other warriors of legend from the past) to best a predator. After Dutch refused to cooperate with the government when questioned about the event, he escaped custody and was abducted by a predator ship. They discovered that he had exploited their vision and how it differs from ours, which is why they used updated tech in the sequel. They had actually planned to allow Dutch to join the predator race, but he presumably died from his exposure to the predator bomb in the end of the movie. By the way, this is all in the comic extended universe of predator which was the first iteration to crossover the franchise with Alien and the xenomorps. The producers of Predators even wanted to have a Dutch cameo at the end with him among the predator race but Arnold denied reprising his role.
@theMyouknow I never noticed this until you mentioned this. Very interesting point
I never get tired of Predator reactions. Such a tight, well-made piece of action cinema, and smarter than it appears.
my favourite thing about this story is that no characters, good or bad, do anything stupid just to advance the plot. every decision is smart, every move has a reason, the story unfolds naturally.
@@mrman5517 great point, I think Die Hard shares this quality (another McTiernan production)
Same
That was Billy's laugh. The predator was just copying him. The predators are trophy hunters, like when people used to hunt lions and hang the lions head on their wall. It seems that their status is higher in their society the more successful a hunter they are, especially is they have hunted and killed something extremely dangerous. The skinning and hanging people is kinda ritualistic and also a way of marking it's hunting territory. You should keep watching the alien and predator movies, I'm sure you'll like them. You also learn a little bit more about the predators in each movie.
They're not just neutrally aligned "hunters"; they're evil. He was playing with Dutch at the end, enjoying his torture and torment. Also, at the end after arming his self destruct device knowing that it will kill Dutch and using Billy's laugh in such a loud maniacal way, making him hear his fallen comrade laughing at him from the opposite side of the grave. That's pure evil.
people "used" to
@@youkilledmyduck187 I know. There are people who still do that.
@@Jekyll_Island_Creatures Predators are not pure evil though. They do not kill for fun, which pure evil really is about.
I never caught that!!!
Predator was the first action film I can fully remember. I admired the costume design for the predator, RIP Kevin Peter Hall. The man was filming in a hot rubber suit in the southern Mexican jungles. I'm from Costa Rica and my skin itches from thinking about all the hours he had to endure. But the music composition the cast, the writing, honestly we have not had a good jungle military suspense movie since this and the only predator movie that counts is predator 2,
Until tomorrow!
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 giant lizard insect hybrid. He even wanted to kickbox Arnold but the producers refused.
Kevin Peter Hall RIP, 7'2" was cast as the titular alien as he was more of an intimidating opponent for Arnold's character Dutch.
Stan Winston Studios designed the PREDATOR suit and would later return to the franchise for PREDATOR 2 in 1990.
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.
Sonny Landham RIP whom played Billy hired a bodyguard to protect people from him 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."
It was 110 degrees in the shade while it was 42 degrees at night.
It rained for 2 weeks making filming even more difficult.
It was a box office success making $100 million dollars ($350 million dollars today) against an $18 million dollar budget.
I had special edision DVD and behind the scenes from that is worth watching somewhere if possible ...Also Titan ic "making of the movie " and also yt video Abyss "wtf happened to this movie "
Even if you dont care about them movies ,still worth searching..
Also, Kevin Peter Hall was the helicopter pilot at the end. And the suggestion that the Predator have mandibles came from James Cameron who was sitting next to Stan Winston on an airplane flight while he was designing it.
Landham also ran to be governor of Kentucky but if nothing else having acted in pornographic movies early in his career that was probably impassable roadblock, had he been elected though he would've been the third governor in the cast of the movie, after Ventura being governor of Minnesota and Arnie of California.
Jean Claude was fired if I’m not mistaken. He kept complaining about being in the suit. It was his first Hollywood role.
Sonny was an interesting guy. He was a US veteran. He did porn. He was a violent felon who did a few years in prison before the conviction was overturned. He was divorced a half dozen times. Numerous accusations of assault, sexual assault, and worse over the years. And ran for office a few times as a Christian conservative for the Republican and Libertarian tickets.
Not a guy I'd like to have a beer with. But he played scary dudes really well in the '80s and '90s.
It's a smart hunter. As someone else pointed out elsewhere, first it kills Hawkins, the communications guy. Then it kills Blaine, the biggest gun. With those two threats dealt with, it starts picking them off.
Though at the end, there's a nice role reversal, with the Predator reduced to firing blindly into the trees to defend itself against an 'invisible' Dutch, just as its targets had been. They both roar, both their invisibility measures fail in water, etc.
It also saved Dutch for last because he was the leader.
alien hunter started from worst of them, then coming for the ones who deserve honor. Starting from mentaly unstable rapist-kind-of-guy, then macho-poser, etc etc. Also, killing each of them with specific phrase remark he get from observing them.
True hunter-vs-hunter sport for an alien, challenging this humans as super dangerous animals. And Dutch is the predator one who bite the hunter back.
@@nightyonetwothree I don't think the Predator knows what human words mean. Like when it picks up the dead scorpion and plays Mac's comment "any time". I think it might be thinking that the words "any time" mean "scorpion thing".
So I don't think it necessarily knows that Hawkins tells awful, crude jokes, or that Blaine is insanely macho.
@@smartalec2001 it didnt know the words, but it for sure see how they act
@@nightyonetwothree Hawkins just told pussy jokes. Not sure how that implies that he's an unstable rapist?
The actor who played the Predator was Kevin Peter Hall. He also had a small cameo as the black chopper pilot at the end. Kevin Peter Hall was also Harry in Harry And The Hendersons. He was over 7 feet tall and a super nice guy in real life. He was in a bad car crash in 1992. During surgery he received contaminated blood and passed away.
The amount of testosterone in this movie is lethal. This is essentially a spiritual successor to Arnold Schwarzenegger's 1985 action film Commando. Director John Mctiernan followed this up with Die Hard a year later and Arnold Schwarzenegger's movie after this was The Running Man. You can learn more about the titular creature from the other films, comics, graphic novels and videogames, some of which crossover with the Alien franchise. For more Arnold, I also recommend watching Pumping Iron, Conan the Barbarian, The Terminator, Commando, The Running Man, Red Heat, Twins, Total Recall, Terminator 2, Last Action Hero, True Lies and Eraser
you forgot Kindergarten Cop. I'm pretty sure she would love Running man.
@@tomyoung9049, she's already reacted to Kindergarten Cop
This is one hell of a movie list 😇
Do not forget Terminator 1.
@@TemalCageman, I already included The Terminator and Terminator 2
Can we all agree that Predator laughing is the creepiest thing ever!!!
Hope you react to Predator 2!
Love your reactions
I heard USAF used recordings of it to get insurgents to surrender as they thought the literal Devil was after them 😅
Stan Winston and Kevin Peter Hall truly brought this creature to life. No one's been able to replicate the realism of the suit and the movement of Kevin Peter Hall since the 2nd movie.
@Latest Obsession Same. A lot of people are knocking it because of the female protagonist but I actually think a female is perfect for the series since it's always been about wits over strength anyways, despite the persistent macho theme.
@Latest Obsession I stopped watching movies years ago, but if you're saying Pray will get on the screen I might give it a try. Noo-guuu-shiiii
@Latest Obsession Now so do I.
@Latest Obsession EH!
Looked up on imdb, expected for 5 august. And based on the trailer it has nothing to do with the AvP Prey novel I read back in high school, 25+ years ago. ffs
Magy, react Terminator 1&2, Commando & True Lies. More Arnold Schwarzenegger movies you will definitely enjoy 😉.
Conan the Barbarian
End of Days
Yep seconded for Conan and Commando for sure :)
What kind of list is it that doesn't have Total Recall or even Conan the Barbarian on it?
Last Action Hero aswell
Predators are trophy hunters, they travel through space and visit and hunt on different planets.
The predator removed it's armor and weapons because Dutch was giving him such a worthy fight. He still wanted to kill him and get his trophy, but he didn't want it to be easy. Dutch earned his respect as a combatant so he wanted to kill him honorably, man than so to speak. If the predator did so he would make that much greater of a trophy.
Although he should not have played with him his arrogance killed him!
@@skaraturbo correct, although he died an honorable death.
While that is a part of it for sure, It's mostly due to it's code of honor: It attacks it's prey according to what weapons they are wielding or less. If they have a ranged weapon, he's allowed to use a shoulder cannon. If they have a melee weapon, he can use his gauntlet blades. If they have armor/camo gear, he can use stealth cloak. If they are bare skin and no weapon, he will use fists!
If u watch the movie again, at each kill u can see this code play out. (for the most part) Even when Dillon got killed, Predator was waiting for him to make a move: Was he gonna drop his gun? Or bring it up to bear and shoot? Well...we know the answer.
And depending on how he kills his prey, depends on what he does with their body. Ranged kill: hang them up skinned/gutted. Melee kill: keep their skull as trophy. That's why he was inspecting Dutch's skull side to side when he caught him.
@@fan-i-am That did not see to be true against billy though he had only a knife but the Predator killed him so fast that he probably shot him from afar.
Magic Magy, "What is happening here?"
Me, "One of the greatest scenes in movie history."
A good script, the proper cast and a great director will always outshine CGI and technical prowess. Enjoyed this one. Thanks.

not only that, but also it used specific phrases after killing, like mocking their weaknesses as warriors. And the order of killing was not random too - it starts from worst/weakest ones, then coming for more honorable targets. But hunting such dangerous animals as humans do the trick to the alien hunter - he got outsmarted by the predator Dutch.
@Latest Obsession But then Dutch is right. If the intent was to cut comms off, why didn't he take or destroy the radio? He's smart enough to know that the guy with the radio can call for backup, but doesn't know what a radio is?
I don't think the Predator chose Hawkins, Hawkins was just the first of the group who was clearly separated from the others (the unarmed prisoner of course doesn't count). And he was entirely focused on his chase, so he was very easy to surprise: he offered the perfect opportunity for the first kill.
Then, he killed a second guy but was caught (seen) by Mac, who started shooting and called for the others. The Predator didn't want to take them on all at the same time (both because it would ruin the hunt and anyway they still outgunned him despite using inferior technology), so he ran. Then he want back to circling and trying to get them one a time.
The only (small) plot hole is why he tried to attack Dutch when they laid down the net trap. He should have seen the men hiding next to Dutch, why drop right in the middle of them, it was quite clear they were waiting for him. He probably didn't expect such a primitive contraption, but yet it doesn't explain why he didn't see the others. BTW, that explains why he became so cautious and later manage to avoid (almost) Dutch's final trap.
Magy: "I guess, welcome to Earth. Have a nice visit."
Me: Uhhh...Magy...you should always meet an unannounced visitor before rolling out the welcome mat. 🙂 You're going to love the other Predator movies, especially the ones where the Predators and Aliens are in the same film. Yes, Magy, that is right. The Predators and Aliens have a connected storyline, and it is so good, and there are so many of them to watch! Enjoy! 😃👍
I've seen Predator a bunch of times, but Magy's reaction made me really appreciate how good Bill Duke's acting was in this movie.
Understanding the Predator is just like thinking of the weekend warrior. After working at his ‘job’ the Predator decides to go hunting. He loads up car (spaceship) and heads to a forested area. The skinned bodies is the same thing that happens to rabbits, deers and bears on Earth. The keeping of skulls is the practice use by people who then mount the skull on the walls of the game rooms.
Thank you, this is the way I've always seen it. He loads up his car with his gear. Camos, tools for hunting, and tracking prey, as well as high-end weaponry use to maximize damage without damaging the prize.
@@SiLvErWaRe000 So sad for mrs. Predator, the widow, and their two little predator kids, now orphans.😭😁
The actor who played the "Predator", Kevin Peter Hall, passed away in 1991..and the actor who played "Billy", Sonny Landham, passed away in 2017.
This was the second movie that Sonny Landham played a character named Billy. He played a character named "Billy Bear" in the movie 48HRS with Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte.
There's so many great characters in this movie, every time I watch it I have a new favourite character. My current one is Billy!
I highly recommend seeing this movie with director John McTiernan's commentary track. Like the one on "Die Hard" it is insightful, interesting and full of his dry humor.
Total Recall (1990) and Twins are two great Arnold movies you should definitely check out if you haven't seen them yet.
Billy’s laugh rules. Greatness
Ya gotta love how this movie goes from a high octane action film to a straight up *slasher flick;* complete with a mask-clad knife wielding killer.
Fun fact... One of the original pitches for the movie was Rambo vs JASON.
This is the absolute best Arnold Schwarzenegger movie ever made. It checks all the boxes.
The most AND best one liners of all his movies ✅
The best handshake in all of human history at 1:36✅
Gratuitous shots of how perfectly jacked he and his team are ✅
Arnie fighting one of the most iconic villain all of movie history in The Predator ✅✅✅
The mud was meant to mask the body heat on Dutch, so the predator, who was using thermal vision couldn't see him. Don't know if it actually works, but that was the idea.
it does not work in reality. Human body is too thermal and heats up the mud.
Love this movie the action, the suspense, the one liners chiefs kiss. Still fantastic after 30+yrs. Great reaction Magy 😃
When Billy was waiting to fight the Predator face to face and he cut himself across the chest, he was performing an old Indian tradition. Some tribes would cut themselves so that the enemy couldn't draw first blood.
Do you know which tribes?
@@voightkampffchamp
I'm sorry, I'm not sure which tribes. My family has some Cherokee in it and I'm not saying they cut themselves, I just heard some tribes did that.
I absolutely love your reactions, Miss!
Time for Terminator 1 & 2 now! Maybe Alien vs Predator too? 😉
I love that movie, there’s a good action movie called Commando starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, it’s about the retired military colonel whose daughter was kidnapped by a deposed South American dictator so he set out to rescue his daughter and take down the former dictator
Great movie. The pilot in the chopper at the end of the movie is actually the guy who plays the Predator. Van Damme was suppose to play the Predator but he quit cause he could not handle the suite. You should watch The Running Man 1987 another Arnold great underrated movie that came out the same year and was overshadowed by this movie.
Nice reaction girl, you made it until the end, be proud. A few people already explained how the mind of the predator works, why it hunts and how it does it, so how about this: the predator can only see in infrared (meaning the body heat), that's why you se the thermal images, and the mud supposed to blind it. In real life, this can not be done that easily, the mud only works when wet, and for only a few moments, so, in real life, Arnold would be dead (you can check the Myth Busters experiment about it, if you find it). I hope you react to Predator 2, bye.
I think however it is a bit of a misconception. The predators vision changes dramatically when it removes it helmet, and then everything is just reddish like the jungle would probably look and movement based. So the mask is maybe like an ai, filtering out background and highlighting prey. So when arnold took his mud bath, he actually confused the tech in the helmet and not the vision of the predator.
However I think they dropped that aspect in later movies.
Back when masculine men were encouraged and not the feminized limp wristed men the movie industry caters to today.
A brilliant film yes the visual effects are out dated but I prefer this then the rubbish we see in the cinemas today love Alan silvestri’s score and John McTiernan direction of the film a classic you have to watch the sequel not has good has this one but a decent sequel player by Danny glover and the late Bill Paxton for this I give a 9/10 .
Finally we got to Predator!
Hope you'll react to Predator 2. In my opinion is a perfect sequel.
There are 2 more movies but nobody like them (I personally like the third one but the fouth, that's atrocious).
There are also 2 Alien vs Predator movies but they're really bad too. The first one gives interesting ideas and the second has the coolest predator, but that's not enough to make them decent movies.
Agree its a great sequel, and glover did a perfect job.
@@mignonthon And I think he was perfectly casted because he was big and fit but not a huge action hero which showed how you can confront a predator if you're tenacious and resourceful and if you have some luck.
I also love how the predator in this second movie has a different approach to hunting that is more psychological, as he stalks Harrigan and makes pressure on him.
The black helicopter pilot was the guy that played the Predator!
The opening scene with the space ship, was a last minute addition that should never have been put into the film
That opening few seconds is a the ultimate spoiler in the film.
Takes any tension and suspense out of the film, as you know exactly what is going on and what they are up against.
Fun fact: I used to watch this movie on the TV, in an era that predates any recording (at least, it was very rare). So, it was not unusual to miss the first minutes of a movie... I think the first and second time I saw the movie I missed the spoiler scene. I do agree they could remove it and the movie would be better.
They, the Predator are known as the Yautja there entire civilization is centered on *THE HUNT* from the time when they are children up until they're adults, Yautjas spend there lives training and honing there predatory instincts and skills into killing focus by being forced into exile on other planets or by hunting in occupied planetary gaming preserves packed full of the universe most homicidal creatures and species.... And Yes this would include humans and even fellow Yautjas. There ultimate goal is to become a clan leader and being the strongest of all tribes and clans.... There most challenging enemy you probably already know........ The *A* *L* *I* *E* *N* and most Yautjas die when faced with one.... Yautjas have strict culture built around honor.... And they will not harm anything that doesn't pose to them as a threat or a challenge.... Most Yautjas are tasked with taking down the strongest. This includes individuals or large parties such as Ditches Rescue Teams. And they will not except being defeated or trapped which is why that predator activated his self-destruct device, destroying himself and any trace of his existence....
Those that hunt otner Yautjas are called killer Yautjas. They're like the heretics of their race
One of the more cooler moments is where Dutch inadvertently discovers the Predator's weakness, also the scene where Dutch destroys the Predator's cloaking device and it fires blindly at him
The Predators are a warrior race that values combat prowess above all else. This Predator was basically on safari on earth looking for warriors to hunt, that's why he didn't kill the girl when she was unarmed. He was examining Arnold's skull in that one part to see if there was anything different about Dutch than the rest of them because he was a worthy opponent.
dont you think the alien hunters weren't supposed to be called predators, but this is the title for a human killed a hunter in this kind safari? Just having no name for an alien in film forced the audience to stick filmname to it?
"Is that a giant lizard or something? Where is Spider-Man?"
LMAO!! This is why I love Magy's reactions - she always says something funny or adorable... sometimes both.
I first watched this movie when I was 3 years old, it was my favorite movie as a kid. I wouldn't eat unless my parents put this movie on in vhs. I called the predator the patha patha bhooth, in the Bengal language it means the leafy leafy ghost. I was a weird kid. Most kids watched sesame street while I watched the predator on repeat. By the way the funniest part was when Dillon was calling out to Mac and you said Mac is sleeping. I laughed. I also like your reactions and your accent, where are you from?
The Predator worked out Arnie was the Alpha of the squad, so had so much respect for Dutch, he left him to the end, then wanted to beat him 'fair & square'.
Hence why he didn't do a Dillon and turn him armless/harmless.
No way should have shortarse Van Damme even ever been considered to have played the Predator, he had to unhuman in power and size.
This was such a brilliant, phenomenal movie, 37yrs later new generations are also blow away by it too!
This film, as in Scarface, Shawshank Redemption stand the test of time, they're timeless classics.
LOL I loved that all the girls who watch this movie actually laugh at Hawkins' jokes xD
The mud on Arnold's body prevents his body heat to be detected by the predator's thearmal heat sensor so thats y he couldnt see him
1:41 I'm kind of glad that you don't have any :)
10:34 Backstab him, literally :)
13:10 That guy has no guts ;) 13:56 I thought that you would like big snakes... :)
27:42 Haha :D
The mud is supposed to hide his body heat, which is how the Predator sees it’s prey. I’ve heard mud won’t do that though I’ll test it when I can get my hands on a thermal camera. ;-)
I just noticed something after watching many manymany reactions, there´s two or three different version of english subtitles. Scene where Mac finds Blains body and sees predator first time and before shooting/harvesting he shouts CONTACT!, this movie had subtitles correct written with "contact" another version had it written "sargeant" what is wrong. another scene is where they found skinned rangers, this part had (Wings Flabbing.) another version had something like (predator sounds.) Just something that i wanted to share.
The red light is in order to preserve their night vision. At least that’s how it’s normally used. I think they’re being dropped off in the pre-dawn hours
this is one of my all time favourite action films! The rest of the franchise is not worth it. They merely try to capitalize on the Predator name but either do not respect or understand the lore set in this film.
Please do more Arnie movies! Terminator 1 & 2 are great classics!
Predator 2 is an ok movie. Not as good as the first one. Still a fun watch though. I like Predators as well.
I am writing this to help out magy and this video and this channel with the algorithm ✌️❤️😚☺️
Great reaction girl. (you are so much fun) Remember this, if you can't enjoy the movie in some way why watch it. This is a good movie and happy you liked it. 😀
Not just THIS Predator, but it's whole species, (known as "Yautja") travel the stars to trophy hunt the most dangerous creatures they can find. Just so happens, Earth is a favorite spot, for them; and has been, since the dawn of mankind. When and IF you watch the later movies, you'll learn more, and more about them. (Including the fact that they have RIDICULOUSLY long lifespans, and that their species is very ancient.) As you noticed, they are very intelligent, cunning, their physical strength is off the scale, they can take a HELL of a beating, and 7-7 1/2 feet is actually average in height, rather than the rarity that it is, with humans. You'll also eventually learn that they have different types of Predator. And ALL of them are, to one degree or another, based upon a similar look, and behavior. By the way, as you go further into the movies, your shock and anxiety levels will likely go down, as you learn more about them.
Reportedly, despite their physical inferiority, some humans (like Dutch) are the basis of scary stories told to youngsters in Yautja society
You look like the girl in the movie, and have the same accent; you sure you're not related? 😁
People say Arnold could not act but he is actually very expressive.
Terminator 1 and 2 ,Commando and Total Recall are great Arnold action movies
"On second thought, can you put it (mask) back on again?" LOL
magy you would survive no problem the predator wouldn't go after you..You're too cute plus You would need to be armed
you should react to Predator2 and then to Prey (the new Predator prequel) and forget the rest
Your eyes. They are completely breathtaking.
Predator 2 answers some of your questions -- then, so does the comment section.
You've got an amazing personality, instantly subbed 🤗 I first saw Predator in 1987 when it came out, I was 13 years old, was mind blowing, still is 🙏 I'm 48 now, time goes quick 😔
Your active thinking through the anxiety and fight process (we call it the ODALOOP) You'll enjoy more of Arnold's breakout work like Conan and Commando. As for what Billy was doing. He was 'spoiling the kill' for the predator. He took away the honor of drawing first blood, and damaging his pelt for harvest.
One movie I would loveeeeeee to see you react to ..... Evil Dead 2013 version ... amazing horror elements and amazing female lead
🙂 Predator is one of my favorite 80's action films.❤ I'll definitely look forward to seeing your reaction to this film Magy😊
Girl, OMG, you are so freaking beautiful!
Please dont watch any of the sequels. They are terrible.
Predator is a masterpiece. Waaaay better than aliens in every aspect.
Predator 2 is still a great movie that you should definetely watch. Predators and The Predator are good just not as well regarded but would make for good content. I would say the same for Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection, two movies that are just hated for all the wrong reasons while still being really well made films, scary, exciting and with a lot of interesting ideas. Also for sure all of this would make for a great prelude to the Alien VS Predator films that are really really fun.
If you haven’t already seen it, you really need to watch ‘Legends Of The Fall’ It’s a outstanding Brad Pitt movie!
GET TO DA CHOPPA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe it's the mud.
Maybe it's Maybelline.
Loved this movie from the moment I saw it when I was a child, if you are planning on seeing other movies in the franchise, Predator 2 is interesting, tells a tiny bit more of their story, Predators as well (the one starring Adrian Brody) was a really good movie as well.. the newest film was bad imo, but it'll have some actors you will recognize. They are making a new movie called Prey, I'm hoping for good things.
the predator is an ancient alien warrior race called Yautja. they have complicated society structures based off honour and hunting. they go trophy hunting around the universe and value dangerous species highly as trophies. humans are considered quite good prizes because of our intelligence and tech. predators don't harm non combatants, children, elderly or sickly... there's no honour in that. they target soldiers, murders, police etc etc armed, trained and dangerous ppl. their homeland is very hot and so they prefer hot climates.
there are different types and different ranks of predators but that's way more than u need know at this point 👍
Yes!
Nice reaction. I found it interesting that the reason you wouldn't watch predator again is due to how anxious it made you feel. For me personally it's the reason why I love this movie or movies like this. I can still remember the first time I saw this movie in the early 90s. It made me appreciate the slow burn and the gradual reveal it just makes the pay off so memorable.
This was my favorite movie as a kid. When the Predator came out of the water and looked towards Dutch i was shook
i remember . my uncle rented it from the local video store and me and all my cousins sat down in front of the tv to watch it . there must have been about 10 of us . we were not prepared for the awesomeness we were about to see . the first shot of space and that spaceship . our mouths were wide open , we had no idea what the plot was going to be . all we knew was we were watching the new Arnold movie .. those were the best days ever
I saw this film so many times when I was a kid in my betamax my childhood is back Predator directed by John McTiernan starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers, Elpidia Carrillo and music score by Alan Silvestri. Thank you so much Magy and now in my 42 years old I still love this masterpiece👍👍👍
Get to the chopperrrrrrrrrrrrr...............

This movie is so badass it's perscribed by doctors for people who need Testosterone Replacement Therapy
Greatest reaction channel ever!!
Love your channel and one of my favorite movies!!
In all these reactions nobody comments on how Mac is starting to crack up after seeing the death of his friend and the Predator.
If you want some others of Arnie's movie you can really enjoy and laugh with, try _"Last Action Hero"_ and also _"True Lies"_ ... I can *guarantee* you - you _will_ enjoy them! Lotsa laughs, plenty of *great* one-liners ... not to mention really good action (can't have Arnold Schwarzenegger without some good action, right?)!
*Enjoy!*
I saw this in the theater, when I was 7... It does stick with you. It's still awesome after 3+ decades.
Predator 2 is deffo worth a watch
LOL "One eye liners"

(Rambo) First Blood
Ooooh, that's a classic right there !
Predator is one of these instant cult classic that defined the 80's movies, in a time where children movies à la Spielberg and Amblin studios could happily coexist in theaters with gory movies like Terminator, Aliens, and Predator, and when filmmakers (and the audience) weren't scared of showing blood.
If you put the movie in context of the 80's, it was at the peak of Schwarzenegger's career, where he made himself super famous with his Conan the Barbarian duology, followed by Terminator (these 3 movies instantly put him on the worldwide superstar podium), then followed by Commando, which was a bit of a lesser movie, but still very fun to watch, and basically made the prototype for Dutch's character, the badass invincible commando (that in itself, was a response from Schwarzenegger to Sylvester Stallone's cult classic character Rambo, these 2 being Hollywood's apex alpha macho-muscles action stars of the 80's, and constantly trying to one-up each other !).
In parallel, the 80's were the decade where the slasher genre of movies came out, these infamous horror movies where the boogeyman kills every character of the movie one by one, like Stephen King's IT, John Carpenter's The Thing, the Freddie Krueger saga, the Halloween saga, and the Friday the 13rd saga. Aliens had just came out the year prior to Predator, and the audience was not only ready but craving for big gory action movies with big scary space monsters. There was a real demand there.
Then came in Predator, directed by soon-to-be legendary director John Mc Tiernan (who, btw, was also going to be the director of Die Hard, 2 years later ! So the man actually created 2 of the biggest franchises in Hollywood history. Just saying...).
Earlier, I mentioned the slasher movies genre. Part of the trope of the genre was to put an unstoppable killer going after a bunch of helpless civilians, which made the movie all the more scary, since these people were everyday billies, so very relatable to the audience. Now, the genius part of Predator was to combine the slasher style with super badass characters like Schwarzenegger's Commando type of characters, characters which, up until then in 80's Hollywood, were viewed as invincible, Schwarzenegger and Stallone being the epitome of this trope. Predator completely flipped that script by making these uber badass invincible american action heroes just mere helpless preys against a mysterious invisible foe that just completely toys with them across the whole movie, like a cat toys with a mouse. Seeing such a formidable monster, capable of destroying an entire platoon of these supposedly invincible american military super-heroes absolutely propelled the Predator's status to that of an instant cult classic, making it one of the most badass monsters of the entire cinema history. Putting the setting in a jungle, which at the time was basically the sign of "we don't have a budget, so let's put the movie in the jungle so we can have a big natural set without having to pay for it, plus it's gonna provides infinite amount of camouflage for the creature", and you got all the ingredients for a great movie ! It was truly catching lightning in a bottle, and it was so powerful, all the stars lined up so well (despites the chaotic production) to make this movie one of the most powerful action movies of all times, that even the following franchise could never quite repeat the miracle (Predator 2, with Danny Glover and happening in the city, was interesting storywise, because the final plot twist expands the lore of the Predators race and how they actually have been interacting with Earth for a long time already, but the movie itself was not as great as the first one. Afterwards, every single ones of the Predators movies were more or less fun, but kinda letdown compared to Predator).
Worth mentionning, 20th Century Fox was also the studio that was home to another cult classic space monster : Alien !
And for over a decade, from the end of 80's to the end of the 90's, people were salivating at a potential crossover between the 2 of them. There was quite a few Alien vs Predator comic books that came out back then, and even a famous arcade beat'em all game from Capcom called Alien vs Predator, made in the mid 90's (and boy that game was glorious !).
It's only in the early 2000's that Fox finally gave the green light to a movie that actually crossed the 2 mythical franchises, which became AVP. And to be fair, it was actually a nice movie, with a lot of predator lore, and some badass fights between the 2 species. But by that time, it was kinda too little too late, and the movie ultimately underperformed. It still branched into a sequel, AVP Requiem, but that one was so bad it canned any chances of the 2 franchises to ever cross paths again.
You can definitely watch the rest of the Predator franchise, to get to see how it reemerged over the decades (there is actually a new one that's coming out soon, called Prey), but just know in advance that the first one was the best one, by far !
The 80's truly were a golden age of popculture :
In cinema, you had all these cult classic movies sagas like Star Wars (created in the 70's, but the second and 3rd movies were made in the early 80's), E.T, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, Jaws, Terminator, Rocky, Rambo, Karate Kid, Top Gun, Predator, Alien (again, created at the end of the 70's, but got its cult classic status in the 80's with Aliens). It was the generation that created the very concept of Blockbuster.
In music, you had Madonna, Michael Jackson, Prince, U2, Gun's Roses, Sting, Eurythmics, Phil Collins...
Even in animation, you had legendary series like Dragon Ball, Saint Seiya, Transformers, Thundercats, Macross (basically Star Wars but in anime), Gundam, City Hunter...
And in videogame, it was the advent of Nintendo with the NES and the Gameboy, and especially its cult classic Mario, Zelda, Metroid, and Sega with its Master System, who became the 2 sacred monsters of the videogame industry for the decade to come, looong before Sony's playstation and Microsoft Xbox followed.
Seriously, the 80's were such a treasure trove of imagination that kickstarted soooo many of the franchises we all know today, and frankly, there is no other decade quite like that came after.
There is a reason why there are so many 80's franchises revivals or reboot nowadays : Cobra Kai to Karate Kid, Creed to Rocky, Bumblebee to the Transformers, Top Gun Maverick to Top Gun (seriously, Magy, this one, you HAVE TO go watch it in IMAX. The experience is out of this world, and it will stay in your brain for the rest of your life !), the coming Indiana Jones 5, Stranger things, not necessarily a reboot of any franchise, but just a massive hommage to the decade of the 80's)...
If you have the occasion, you can totally dig in the classic of that decade in your channel, you won't regret it, and for me, it's gonna be a great pleasure to see someone who was born way after it ended react to these classic that completely made my childhood, and made me the animation director I am today.
Oddly enough, John Carpenter's Halloween is in the dna of the original Alien, Terminator, and Predator.
This whole comment is gold and it kinda makes me sad knowing that the 80s was the single best decade ever and nothing else will ever come close, I was born in 85 and I watched all those things as a kid and it truly was the best of times.
