Ok
Every movement from Jesse's chair shook his microphone. Just make a note.
Jesse sure does love jesse.made of chocolate hed eat himself.full of it.has he got a story where he doesnt look good
Arnold schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers and Jesse Ventura in the same movie was a great bit of casting!
Blk guy w wild eyes was also grt!
@@billkramer2994 Bill Duke
This whole movie and cast was insane. Madness. These guys in the middle of the jungle. Its such a classic action movie from back then. The story and atmosphere, music etc. in that movie is better than in almost every other movie I've ever seen. Especially because of these crazy actors. All of them. Also the native Indian guy Sonny Landham who apparently was choleric and crazy and dangerous. If you think about it. Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers, Ventura and Landham together and one giant 2.20 m alien in the jungle. It doesnt get any better
And Van Damme was the original predator. Originally called Hunter. True story.
R.I.P Carl. The real deal.
That part was meant for Mr. Ventura.. predator is one of those movies that once i start watching i have to watch the entire thing no matter how many times ive seen it
A bit like Where eagles dare... or Zulu, or Tombstone
I ain't got time to pee. 🍿
Haha, same. Predator is probably the movie I have seen the most times and no matter when its on the TV I always watch it.
same
I watch it regularly every year since 1987. Movies like Predator happen only once in a lifetime.
"Navy Seal, wrestler, biker, actor, Mayor, weed activist, Governor, etc."
Goddamn, Jesse has lived multiple lifetimes 😂
Sounds like a famous tagline for the original Conan the Barbarian film. "Thief. Warrior. Gladiator. King."
Something only a sexual tyrannosaurus can do
UDT, mediocre wrestler, but really a biker, OK mayor, weed activist, so so governor.
He is like the real life Homer Simpsons.
Charismatic and talented, so there you go.
Predator, one of the greatest action movies of all time, I've seen it over 100 times, yet the greatness comes out every single time ! Every single character in the movie did their hard work.
Locale and fireworks and grt Predator!
“I ain’t got time to bleed”
Well, you got time to duck?
He's got more time to lie!
RUclips reactions on that line are hilarious.
@@Romulan2469get a JOB!
Lol 😂
He killed the part. Ventura is a great storyteller
Yeah, he tells these stories very well. Predator is an all time classic as well.
Yes he tells them so well that everyone believes every word he says.
Vince McMahon must be one of the biggest scumbags to walk the earth…
He did nothing but the most basic hammy acting in what amounted to a 'character actor role' almost entirely around his crazy big muscles. He doesn't enunciate and his character is almost immediately killed off without a fight. He served little purpose but to be a super big muscular guy who's easily killed by Predator SO THAT the audience realizes Arnold, though he's got huge muscles, that will not be enough vs this enemy.
@@batsnackattack JustMe Ventura thinks he should have gotten an Academy Award! 😂
The fact that Vince McMahon was too good to give at least three to five minutes of his time to Jesse “The Body” Ventura tells you more about him as a person. I can see why Ventura hated and rebelled against McMahon. He made a smart decision with the movie and video game.
wrestling was like a circus with carnies. so much bullshit back then.
King Kong Bundy told a story about how he was given the job to sell Apple computers back in the late 80s when Apple first started selling the Macs and how Bundy got royalties and a huge payday from it, and he said that Vince went livid because he told Bundy NOT to take the job and yelled at Bundy.
It's ironic though, he wouldn't accept any messages or phone calls or whatnot unless if it was one person and that was Hulk Hogan. The other ironic thing about it was, was that Hogan left WWF in '93 and Vince hated him, same with Macho Man, Macho Man wanted to wrestle more and Vince wouldn't let him, said "his time has come and gone and you're more suited to be a color commentator!" and when they got the Slim Jim deal, Savage up and left WWF due to disagreements and took the Slim Jim deal with him as well to WCW.
It requires some context, before you can have an opinion. There are always two sides to a story.
Vince has always been a flog ... We all just know it now .. Mr poo poo pants
Video game? Tell me about this!
While Vince didn’t have time to talk to Jesse Ventura, Jesse Ventura didn’t have time to bleed!
Jesse is dug in that interview like an Alabama black tick
I met the guy who provided vocal effects for the creature in that film. He's a legendary voice actor by the name of Peter Cullen, and he's best known as the voice of Optimus Prime in much of the Transformers franchise.
Saw a video demonstration of him doing the noises
@@SRC267, let me guess: From a Q&A panel he did at TFCon in Toronto a few years back?
@@civilwildman yes, it must be that one.
@@SRC267, cool. Saw that too. 🙂
For clarification, I met Peter at Cybercon Expo in NYC, July 30th, 2005. 😉
@@civilwildmanno one cares
Predator is my favourite movie of all time and I love everyone associated with it, this dude included
Jesse The Body Ventura, a true legend I can listen to him all day telling stories a big fan of him🤘
There will never be more testerone in a film. I write Prehistoric thriller books and this movie was huge for my writing career. Mike
It's an iconic role in an iconic film, he clearly made the right choice.
This guy sounds alot like Will Sasso..
Sasso is a genius that's why.
Gotta stopnwith the Sasso stuff now😂 Jesse's a freaking legend
@@christophercharlesonelifetime No Sasso does a better Jesse than Jesse himself. Sasso is the legend now.
😅
@Romulan2469 ahhh like Bush being Impersonated. Well...at least with Jesse V he's not some war criminal 😊👏
He was amazing in that role! And speaks the truth when he says he had more talent than hogan.
Can you imagine Hogan doing that role and saying those lines !!! 😂
@@johnny5805deepfake could do that
Yeah he's so amazing that he bashes Arnold's life choices when Arnold literally made him a multi-millionaire. What a great guy he is.
@@Romulan2469 I lost it when he said he stole the movie from Arnold . Not even close ....
@@blankblank5411 I know. The guy is a colossal narcissist and they talk about Hogan and Vince being the only ones with big egos. Jesse's got an ego the size of Jupiter! 😂
Can tell Jesse is still upset of that phone call
@@NiceDiggz as he should be. It changed so much for him
@@NiceDiggz well wouldnt YOU be if vince snubbed you just because you wanted to tell him you got a movie role?
Great story and good for Jesse to tell McMahon's Lackey he was taking the part and hanging up on him!
Screw Vince.
Many did, he was also one to screw back
Why? Vince made him a superstar. Nobody would have heard of Jesse if it wasn't for Vince. We wouldn't even be talking about this clown if it wasn't for Vince giving him that push back in the 80s. Don't be so gullible.
@@Romulan2469 Jessie made Jessie . Not just in Wrestling , but in everything else (Governor , Activist , Actor , Commentator ) . He certainly is nobodies fool , especially Vince Macmahon .
@@adrianvanniasinkam3692 Have you ever thought about becoming his manager?
@@Romulan2469Screw Vince
because he's an asshole. Maybe you have a fetish about being treated like crap by people in power. But Jesse like many other people has a thing called dignity and self respect.
His memory for his age is exceptional
He's a goddamn sexual tyrannosaurus!
Just like me
@@GxttaFrmDaO bunch of slacked jawed
Stick this in your sore ass
@@darrentoon5332slack jawed .. yes.. yes what else did he say? Almost there
@@darrentoon5332today we call it mouth-breathers
Predator is definitely in my top ten favorite movies of all time.
In my opinion PREDATOR is the absolute Top Nr.1 Action movie ever.
A simple and straight story, incredible perfect cast (incl Black, Chaves, Landham and Duke) made every single member of the group a unique guy, not sex scenes thatdisturbs the story, no love story or love interest, no family thing...pure Action.
The movie made the M 134 a new and spectacular weapon effect in Action movies, and its so gory and thrilling about.
The storyline is perfect, first you see the ultimate machos, then scary horror with skinned green Berets, elite fighters, you see that these few guys erase a complete camp of fighters and then the ultimate shock of the "undescribable attacker" and the death of Blain...thats the moment you know that EVERYTHING can happen and how easy the Predator can kill one by one...
And i think the most remarkable thing and man in the group is Blain, Jesse Ventura. Top coolness, unique style (Aussie hat), huge body and this crazy Minigun.
Ventura is the proof that the perfect casting is a key for a Blockbuster success.
And: Its interesting that they can do a Masterpiece of Action just with a hand full of Actors...incl the Predator there are 10 Actors in it...no Car chases, exploding buildings etc. Compare it with Die hard or Lethal weapon and you see what i mean.
The Casting audition for Predator was in the Baja ..
Why don’t you tell me!? Do you wanna have some scrambled eggs on a tortilla?
I remember as a kid in the '70s first seeing Jesse "The Body" Ventura. One of the coolest personalities in show biz and politics
And this part led to the legendary role of Captain Freedom!
I watched that recently. Such a great 80s movie so campy but I love it
The testosterone level of every dude in this movie is off the f'n charts. God bless The Body!!
what a legend
i wonder if he has Parkinson's, with him shaking.
"I don't have time right now for Jessie Ventura's Personal Life" - Vince McMahon
The irony of that quote was, was that when Jesse came back from shooting Predator, he literally walked up to Vince, smirked and said "I've got my union now, Vince!" and walked off. It was also known that Vince wanted to fire Ventura for doing Predator, but the owners of NBC (I think it was NBC) who had given the WWF slots for Saturday Nights Main Event specifically said that they WANTED Jesse Ventura on the show, and when they found out that Vince was planning to fire him out of spite, they threatened Vince with pulling all WWF shows and putting on NWA/WCW shows instead.
Douche comment from a Douche Man ...
Loved watching this movie on a Friday/Saturday night with my dad. Women were out of the house and we had a boys night, me and pops with food and the TV. Little memories like those are awesome.
1987 Predator I is a Classic.
Such an iconic Man, I watched predator several times and never realised that there were 7 actors...Sometimes less is more.
Predator is absolutely perfect.
Jesse Ventura is an excellent story teller. He remembers everyone's name and all the details while being entertaining in the telling.
He performed every line in that movie like he was delivering a promo.
Jesse Ventura was good in Predators.👌👍😊 Would have been interesting seeing him in a dark comedy ore a Horror movie 🙂
"Dude your bleeding",
"I ain't got time to bleed" = Greatest line in movie History and Jesse had the honor of delivering it!!!!!!!!!!
Sum bytch is dug in like an Alabama tick.
one of the best movie i've ever seen .....one of those perfect movie
The best action movie ever made
@@Njbear7453 facts
Here we are thirty years later and I still can't believe he was my Governor for four years.
I AIN'T GOT TIME TO BLEED
My dad showed me Predator when I was 8 or 9(39 now) I’ve seen it a countless amount of times, all time great! A man’s man movie.
Jesse Ventura= PAINLESS. Every man should have one in his arsenal.
I need more stories from this man.
Keyword being "stories".
He had the best line in the whole film and he NAILED it! 🇬🇧🏆🇺🇲
And what a role and movie that was. Predator is one of my favorite movies of all time. Macho as they get.
I grew hair on my chest, just from watching it.
Love me some Jessie! Him and gorilla calling matches …. Perfection
I never thought much of Vince McMahon, though it was a genius move on Vince's behalf putting Ventura on the mic with Gorilla.
Never fails to bury Hogan.
Good on Ventura to accept the part, he killed it. Anybody else would have also told Vince to shove it.
...and then he went on to utter one of the most iconic lines in cinematic history.
I have watched that movie more than I have seen my parents and that's a lot. Movie of the century.
I like hearing his behind the scenes stories on Predator. I wish he'd talk about working on the Running Man.
They wrote the line “I ain’t got time to bleed” then looked for the only guy who could deliver it
Jesses’s politics are left of me, but I loved the way he answered questions when he ran for governor. He was honest and straightforward and it was great to hear. Governor and Navy Seal - thanks for your service to this country.
you might be falling for propaganda dude. wanting to spend tax payer money to actual help citizens who need it rather than giving corporations tax breaks is the only thing that will revitalize this country. you’ll see.
despite what you’ve seen or read, Reaganomics failed and is the main reason why were up shxts creek right now. they want you to forget about that tho
I'm surprised after Jesse hung up the phone on George Scott that Vince didn't phone Jesse back like two minutes later yelling...WHAT THE HELL YA DOIN PAL??
Vince and Jesse hated each other legitamately, he goes into it a lot in this interview with Chris. Before Wrestlemania 2, Jesse got up on a chair in the locker room and said "right, this is the time to unionize! Wrestlemania 2 is nearly here, we can simply say "We don't want to wrestle unless we have a union" and did his spiel about it.
It later turned out due to the deposition that Vince was under due to Ventura suing him for lost royalties over the VHS tapes with Ventura on them, Jesse's lawyer went to Vince and asked him "Did anyone ever say something about a union?" and Vince went "I think Jesse Ventura spouted his mouth off about it." and Ventura's lawyer then said "Did you see him say it?" and Vince went "No" and then Ventura's lawyer went "Well HOW did you know he SAID it?" and Vince flat out with no hesitation went "Hulk Hogan told me!".
George C. Scott?
Ventura is a great guy and what a life he has lived and all the amazing things he has achieved.
He was our governor in Minnesota and his reign was awesome here. He made money for this state somehow
We met down in the Baja.
He fit perfectly in his role . He did an amazing Character in the Predator.
Jesse Ventura so cool he's such a genuine person. Jesse Ventura for president 2024
Back in the day I definitely wasn’t a Jesse fan! But after his governor win it started to turn now as of late definitely have a lot of respect for the man!
Not buying the cliche story
Used to work out with Jesse at World Gym East in Hamden, CT early to mid 1980's while he was still wrestling. I remember when he went off to Mexico to film Predator. One note: he was closer to 6'2" than his claimed 6'4".
Back when they movie came out, who would believe both Arnold and Jesse would become State Governors
Vince was dug in like an Alabama Tick.
Little known fact that often goes under the radar - Jesse Ventura used to be a Navy Seal back in the day.
I don't think anyone could have played that part besides Jesse.
"Makes Cambodia look like Kansas". I've said this in a few countries.
It was an awsome casting .. predator is a classic . I. Was 11 when it came out and to this day it is still one of my favourite movies ever.. absolutely awsome
two future governors were in the movie on Predator. 🤣
Shaterday night live.
He probably made more off that movie than wrestling
Maybe vs a single payday.
@@JonCombo I was thinking royalties included
@@herculesmwp7983 Problem is, he made good money in wrestling for many years, and has royalties for that too.
@@JonComboI thought Vince stopped playing his matches so he wouldn't get royalties? Am I wrong? I don't have the best wrestling knowledge
That movie was one of the ultimate films for me in my childhood. To this day I still pop this movie on with some bros when drinking beers- as I'm sure many other Gen X and early Millenials still do.
Jesse was ahead of his time...
For a wrestler back then to star in such a massive box office movie was really something! He was right, he had that extra element to his personality which meant he could take on a role like that... Hulk Hogan was type cast & one dimensional by contrast...
Mr Nanny anyone?
"everybody in California was going after that role"😂😂😂
Vince said tell Jesse I don't have time to bleed
One of grt movies of all time!
I love Jesse! Thank You for your Service and Entertainment! And Honesty. More Jesse!
Imagine if Hogan had Jesse’s spot in Predator…Entertainment politics BS whatever…imagine it! Hulk gets the role, the whole movie changes
If Hogan had gotten it, he would have been demanding to be top bill instead of Arnold. Then again, Arnold would have stretched Hogan till he passed out if he did that.
Now film is a classic
I have watched Predator at least 25 or 30 times....a absolute classic!!
Good video
Jesse has such a recognisable voice, it’s killer
I was distracted trying to figure out if the light display in the background was reflecting their voice data or just random.
Those days people (in casting) took chances and it paid off magnificently - now, 30+ years later, couldn’t think of anyone else doing the role 🎉
"Ain't got time to bleed in BAAAAAHHAAAA & The Pleasure is ALL Yours !!" Thank You Jesse for many years of entertainment. 👍👍👍
Was in the running man also.
CVV invite Richard Chaves. He was in Predator. Awesome person and vietnam veteran.
Thanks!
I heard Dr. Disrespect, EDP445, Chris Tyson and Mr. Beast are also auditioning
Jesse is an amazing person period.
He should’ve done more movies. He was entertaining af.
He did The Running Man too
He was perfect for Blaine. Predators easily in my top 10 movies of all time.
Rumor has it to prepare for the role in Predator he wanted to immerse himself into a secluded environment. This chance encounter with the "BAA-HAA" would entice him to later make it his home 😆😆
I love the guy. Legendary WWF ring commentator that pissed me off as a kid! hahaha.
Jesse is a first Rate guy. No bullshit, tells you how it is. A man good for his word. I've read a lot about him. The kinda guy you want as a friend and neighbor.
No wayyyyy. I had no idea that- that was who that was when watching Predator & I’ve seen that movie at least 7 times
His voice is still so powerful.
Hard to imagine anyone else playing the part, perfect casting.
Jesse back in WWF, and Vince Ousted. Oh how fortunes have turned.
wasn't Jesse in the (running man) movie with Arnold as well ??? 🤔
Underrated actor imo
