Wow, what an excellent video! Yes the original Predator movie was the best in my opinion. A unique concept at the time blending an action commando movie with a sci-fi horror movie. And the cast was amazing! Each one outstanding in their own right. 😉👍
Predator has to have the coolest ending credits ever. Pictures of the cast that were all humerous with the exception of Dutch (Arnold). Mac offering you a drink, Hawkins reading his comic book. Blaine just smiling at you. Billy laughing and Carl weathers grabbing a gun showing the audience he still had his arm.
Agreed! Tough guys carrying big A guns and getting hunted by a space predator... Sign me up any day! Although I must admit that this new one the have going where there is a female Indian that is going to take on the predator... I'm like, "Um... No." Thanks for watching!
Jesse Ventura was a pro wrestler lol! he was huge at the time, "Jesse the Body". and its one of the reasons he got the part. calling him an 'actor' is hilarious. do ur research!
@@86caliente_18 i know. i've seen it. in the 80s. doesnt make him an actor. he was a wrestler. later on he became a politician, governor of Minnesota. but never was he an 'actor'.
LOL! They should have been eating those during the entire film shoot. Would have helped them get into character and avoid having the sh$ts for weeks on end!
I crack up knowing they had to hire a bodyguard for Sonny Landham ,to protect other people from Sonny. They said He was one crazy dude when He drank😅😅😂😭
Thank you! I know right! How crazy that would have been to have that bug looking predator. I mean who knows, maybe it would have worked... Kevin Peter Hall was awesome and a fantastic choice! I think I've watched this movie like 100 times. I'll just throw it on in the background if I'm working on something on my computer and what not. Classic!
One of the things that I love about this movie is that Arnie who was huge in both physique and stardom at the time got his ass kicked by the Predator, it showed how tough and huge the Predator was, even Arnie couldn't beat him up.
Totally! There has to be challenges, loss, lessons learned... Too bad Disney can't learn this. I leave out only Andor and Rogue One, I truly enjoyed those.
And I have a feeling always will be! Did you see that last one they did The Predator (2018)??! Atrocious! And it was even written by Shane Black, ordinal writer of ‘87!! Wtf?
Nice! Yea there was a fact on IMDb about the making of that gun and it was originally for Scarface with Pacino. I might have mentioned in video, but can’t remember! 🤔 Anyways, they rented it for Predator and obviously they had some crazy mods on that thing!
@@ZMAMShow You did mention the back story of Scarface. I'll just never understand why hollywood types insist on making firearms/explosives/tanks etc do unrealistic things...and I was in a couple hollywood productions after I got out of the Marine Corps. I tried to be a voice of realisim to the production staffs but my helpfulness was very much not appreciated. 😆
@@scout3058 That’s pretty cool. And yea Hollywood are usually not for realism. They figure it’s not entertaining enough. Little do they realize it’s prolly cause their story sucked to begin with. Go big or go home I guess… 🤔
Too bad they don't make movies as good as they use to. This is a classic, and one of the best sci-fi/action movies ever. Now it's all about special effects and no substance.
It's the sad truth these days. And further more that dumbass agendas hollywood try to push in our movies. They're feeling it through the loss of sales. Hopefully they'll start figuring it out and give us the movies we deserve!
Love me some Contra, it couldn’t beat it without the 30 lives code!! I always felts it was more of an Aliens themed game, but def has ties to predator as well. I mean the last level is pretty much James Cameron’s Aliens, with Dutch and Billy starring as the lead characters! 👍
@@ZMAMShow agree!! Game is tough to beat. I love your channel btw! Any chance you can make a video of Demons (1985) film?? I'm hoping film gets a remake
@@robmadrigal714 Appreciate the awesome words Rob! Love hearing from you guys. I remember seeing that movie once, but it’s been awhile. Unfortunately there’s not a ton of trivia for that movie, but I’ll do a more thorough search and see if there’s more out there.
@@ZMAMShow yeah I love what you are doing man! I think most people forgot about the Demons film. I been trying to contact Blumhouse and James Wan for a remake and Dario Argento was trying to work on a reboot. But project was forgotten. I do appreciate it if you can. I know the film was great for it's time but now would be interesting to see a remake of the film. Keep up the great work:)
Honestly, I don't think so. But anything is possible. Predator 2's storyline just didn't sound right for Arnold. I think Glover and cast did a solid job tho.
The fact that Sonny (Billy) intimidated everyone on set speaks dividends. It fits his character well. No one really spoke or messed w/ him. (besides Hawkins) On the DVD commentary, I loved hearing the stories of how Arnie and Jess would be competitive, and how they would PT every morning. They get the director or producer (forget who Arnie encouraged) to join them a few times.
Hey there Andrew! I know right? I know I wouldn't mess with that dude. I've only seen him in a few other flicks including Best of the Best 2, but Billy is definitely a trademark character! He looks like that guy that maybe only said a few words here and there, but you were glad he was on your side and had your back. Thanks for watching!
They had some issues for sure, but I don’t think they were much worse that the other 80’s action movies around that time. The jungle I’m sure added plenty of obstacles.
I've watched this movie more times that I can count... Hands down my favorite predator movie. What's yours?
Predator 1987 iligliore
Wow, what an excellent video!

Love that ending as well! So classic!
Don't forget Anna. She looks up and smile at you.
This movie, Aliens, and Day of the Dead are my three favorite movies of all time. Oh and the Thing too.
Nice!!! A very solid list indeed. I very much approve! 🎥🍿😎
Highlander too
Amen.
Solid picks
Great list
One of the best movies ever made.
Agreed! Tough guys carrying big A guns and getting hunted by a space predator... Sign me up any day! Although I must admit that this new one the have going where there is a female Indian that is going to take on the predator... I'm like, "Um... No." Thanks for watching!
Classic! Get to da chopper!
One of the most memorable quotes out there!
This ch is like the C.I.A. of everything great in film💯😂🤟 thought I knew it all,now I actually do
Haha! Thanks Andres! I'm glad I was able to fill your brain with some "confidential" facts for these movies!
Jesse Ventura was a pro wrestler lol! he was huge at the time, "Jesse the Body". and its one of the reasons he got the part. calling him an 'actor' is hilarious. do ur research!
The topic was everything u didn’t know about Predator. Not Jesse Ventura.
@@ZMAMShow ahhhh... so you knew he was a pro wrestler? and not an actor?
Jesse ventura and Arnold were in another movie called the running man fighting each other.
@@86caliente_18 i know. i've seen it. in the 80s. doesnt make him an actor. he was a wrestler. later on he became a politician, governor of Minnesota. but never was he an 'actor'.
Nobody in a movie about special forces operators thought about packing some MREs? Craft services dropped the ball for sure.
LOL! They should have been eating those during the entire film shoot. Would have helped them get into character and avoid having the sh$ts for weeks on end!
Wrong Film!
It's Hollywood.
They ate mres in the movie
I crack up knowing they had to hire a bodyguard for Sonny Landham ,to protect other people from Sonny. They said He was one crazy dude when He drank😅😅😂😭
Right!?! That fact kills me. I mean fair enough, Billy/Sonny did always have that crazed look in his eyes. 😆
I like the fact that two of the actors became US governors.
I bet no one saw that coming in the future! Ha! Hey if a politician can take on the predator and survive... They have my vote! : )
And another one tried to run for office twice!!
We’ll done, I didn’t know Jean Claude van Damme (sp) was the original Predator. So glad they went with the second version, so much scarier.
Thank you! I know right! How crazy that would have been to have that bug looking predator. I mean who knows, maybe it would have worked... Kevin Peter Hall was awesome and a fantastic choice! I think I've watched this movie like 100 times. I'll just throw it on in the background if I'm working on something on my computer and what not. Classic!

Best predator movie hands down.

@@ZMAMShow damn the original writer worked on that trash? That’s insane.
Well, of course.
Fun fact: There is no muzzle flash on a real M203. I know this because I carried one in the infantry.
Nice! Yea there was a fact on IMDb about the making of that gun and it was originally for Scarface with Pacino. I might have mentioned in video, but can’t remember! 🤔 Anyways, they rented it for Predator and obviously they had some crazy mods on that thing!

True. I carried one too. And they make a thump/pop when fired, almost weak. Not cool sounding but we all liked the effect!
@@headspaceandtiming2114 The only piece of equipment we had that didn't give us tinnitus. 😆
Richard Chavez "Poncho" was a US Army combat veteran of the Vietnam war.

Dutch and Billy characters reminds me of the Contra game and both movie and game came out that same year. What a coincidence.
Love me some Contra, it couldn’t beat it without the 30 lives code!! I always felts it was more of an Aliens themed game, but def has ties to predator as well. I mean the last level is pretty much James Cameron’s Aliens, with Dutch and Billy starring as the lead characters! 👍

You have to drink bottled water in Mexico!!!! Period
haha! Facts!
Or boil the water 🤣
The original predator look is still creepy. If you saw that thing coming after you I’d ahit myself lol😂
Haha! That's a fact my friend!
Greatest film of all time, space and dimension.
I've almost watches this film more times than I can count! ; )
At 6:45....should be "venomous" snakes, not "poisonous" snakes
Wow. I'm being graded on a whole new level here.
The movie that made us appreciate sideboobage
Male side-boobage at that. Lol 😂
So cool that Dutch’s M16 with the grenade launcher was the same gun Tony Montana used 😂.
Yea I thought that was a good one :)
I always wonder if Predator 2 would have been as big as Terminator 2 if Arnold had decided to do it.
Honestly, I don't think so. But anything is possible. Predator 2's storyline just didn't sound right for Arnold. I think Glover and cast did a solid job tho.
Freezing cold at night, I thought it would be hot at night as well as the day
I know they had the chiets.
🙌🏽
1st time here
Fun fact Carl Weathers would wake up at 3am to work out secretly to improve his physique as filiming began
Ha! Yea I read that as well. Rivalry at its best!

@@ZMAMShow And it sucks. Far more time-consuming to watch this and it isn't anything I didn't already know either.
Incase if anyone notice what happen to sony landham he passed away since 2016 rip
He was a heck of a character! Liked him in this and Best of the Best 2!
@@ZMAMShow like the last time I've seem him on the movies he almost look like nightwolf from mk
Ain’t no muzzle flash on grenade launchers…
I hit subscribe at "travelers diarrhea " 😆

Thanks PICKETT PRIDE! Welcome to the channel!
@@ZMAMShow so happy I found your channel
You missed the part besides Ventura being a seal was that him and Richard Chavez "poncho" were both Vietnam vets.
True. Good catch! So many fun facts with this one.
he wasn't a, seal, he was UDT and never saw one second of combat
The fact that Sonny (Billy) intimidated everyone on set speaks dividends. It fits his character well. No one really spoke or messed w/ him. (besides Hawkins)

Damn such a great film for such a horrible production
They had some issues for sure, but I don’t think they were much worse that the other 80’s action movies around that time. The jungle I’m sure added plenty of obstacles.
The best. Suppose that humanity had to defend itself from alien beings
I think we'd be screwed. lol. I mean some of us might make it, but too many out there wouldn't have moxie to make it
