RIP Carl Weathers. Commando next !

The best line from this movie: Get to the choppa!. And you cut it out! Missed opportunity!

"I ain't got time to bleed" The most savage line of all time.

My favorite thing about this film was how they established the skill and history of Dutch's team. They wore Vietnam era webbing and flak jackets, they mentioned Cambodia, we saw their skillset, their familiarity with the Special Forces units lost in the jungle, all to establish that they were an exceptionally lethal and well organized team without any long exposition. Then, immediately, they established how outclassed they were by the Predator. Masterfully done.

That helicopter pilot at the end is Kevin Peter Hall, the guy who played the Predator!

When the Predator uses recordings of their talking to trap them I liken it to a hunter using a duck call. He doesn't even know what he is saying, he is just making "human sounds" instead of "duck sounds".

"If it bleeds, we can kill it." One of the best Onliners in Movie-History. John McTiernan is the King of Action-Movies.

The thing I really loved about this movie is how Arnold truly struggled with the predator, and in the end he just got lucky. Most movies with Arnold in this time period made him an unstoppable force with no competition. It was a pleasant surprise.

6:14 Billy mentioning "six men wearing U.S. issue army boots" reminds me of one of the "brilliant" ideas tried in Vietnam. The U.S, military jungle boot (the iconic 'Nam boot) had a unique tread pattern which worked extremely well for trekking through the mud in the jungle, but it left a distinctive, easily recognized track which could give away the movement of American troops. Someone came up with the idea of shaping the sole of the boot like the sole of a human foot so the tracks it left would look like it was made by some barefooted Vietnamese peasants. However, the average G.I. shoe size was about 2 or 3 sizes larger than the average Vietnamese shoe size, so when the boot stepped into soft soil, it left a perfect imprint of a human foot with a perfect larger outline of a combat boot around it. Also, having a smaller 3 dimensional foot sticking out of the bottom of a larger boot made these boots very unstable to walk in. The human footprint boot idea was abandoned, but it was replaced (at least in one area) by a simpler, more effective idea. Bunches of average sized U.S. jungle boots were dropped into the area, and people there were happy to have durable, very protective boots to wear when walking through the jungle regardless of whether they were a couple of size too large, and so soon everybody and his cousin was wearing U.S. jungle boots and leaving tracks that were basically indistinguishable from tracks made by U.S. troop.

Predator 2, absolutely!

So for clarification on Arnold’s character (Dutch) in the scene where he gets shot in the arm. The Predator didn’t actually hit Dutch’s arm, he instead shot Dutch’s gun, causing it to explode. That’s why Dutch’s arm got a bit bloodied, but not too heavily damaged. It’s a subtle miss, but it does put on that illusion that Dutch’s arm is so big that it can tank a shot from the Predator’s gun. lol

(13:58) Chandra: "I hate this! It's like they're being hunted." Me: well, the movie is called "Predator", so...someone has to be the prey. ;-)

Didn't know Julia Stiles' sister had a KZfaq channel.

Those Terminator, Commando, and Predator themes are always popping up in my head, such good pieces of music.

You people are so intensely FOCUSED, I love it! It really makes your reactions stand out, since you take it all in and then delightfully process it...

If you loved Terminator and Predator you'll totally flip for "Total Recall" (1990). It's one of my favorite Arnold films.

The late great Stan Winston designed the Predator costume among other classic creatures. The Terminator series, the first three Jurassic Park films, Aliens, The Thing, the first two Predator films, Inspector Gadget, Iron Man, and Edward Scissorhands.

I like the joke "That makes one of us" . Funniest thing he ever said so far

I love how we see how good these guys are that they take out a camp with no issues what so ever, just to hammer down how advanced the Predator actually is with how easily it disposes of everyone. This movie's cinematography is so good, I really feel like no shot is wasted.

"You're hit, man. You're bleedin'." "I ain't got time to bleed." "Oh... okay." Fun Fact: Theatrical film debut of Jesse Ventura and Shane Black. Don't Drink It Fact: The Predator's (Kevin Peter Hall) blood - a goopy substance with the color of Mountain Dew - was made on-set using a mixture of the liquid from inside glow sticks and KY Jelly. Practical Joke Fact: Jesse Ventura was delighted to find out from the wardrobe department that his arms were one inch bigger than Arnold Schwarzenegger's. He suggested to Schwarzenegger that they measure arms, with the winner getting a bottle of champagne. Ventura lost, because Schwarzenegger had told the wardrobe department to tell Ventura that his arms were bigger. You're going to have to get up much earlier in the day to get one over a professional practical joker. Practical Effect Fact: The invisibility cloaking effect was achieved with a bright red suit (because it was the farthest opposite of the green of the jungle and the blue of the sky) the size of the Predator (Kevin Peter Hall). The red was removed with chroma key techniques, leaving an empty area. The take was then repeated without the actors using a 30% wider lens on the camera. When the two takes were combined optically, the jungle from the second take filled in the empty area. Because the second take was filmed with a wider lens, a vague outline of the alien could be seen with the background scenery bending around its shape.

Props to and ROP to Kevin Peter Hall. He really brought the predators scale to life...

I like how Dutch says my men are not expendable and many years later he makes a movie where him and his men are the expendables in 1,2,3

Everyone's gonna recommend Commando or Total Recall after this, but I wanna Recommend "Conan the Barbarian". It's the role that put Arnold on the map!

The Predator clicks were done by Peter Cullen aka Optimus Prime!

This film is an absolute masterclass in building tension. Over hereeee

With the big, sweaty muscles bit - Jessie Ventura who played Blain (the one with the mini gun) would find out when Arnie was going to be working out and would get to the gym 5 minutes before him and splash water in his face so it looked like he’d built up a big sweat and would keep working out until after Arnie left the gym and it drove Arnie nuts that it seemed Jessie was working out harder than him

“If you lose it here, you’re in a world of hurt” … so many great lines here!

Come for the predator... Stay for the sweaty jungle muscles 💪😎

The composer for this, Alan Silvestri, is probably now most famously known for the Avengers theme from all those films (and reused in other MCU films). It's always wonderful finding a composer that can land hit after hit over a large span of years.

Predator 2 is an underrated masterpiece as well

The two best jokes in a movie The two best jokes in a movie🤣 Best meme Best one liner After watching this i want to pick up weights and have a stogie 😎 🇬🇧💪🏻🚁

Hey guys! Fun fact - Shane Black, who played the guy with the glasses and dirty jokes, went on to write or direct many notable action movies, himself! - wrote "Lethal Weapon" 1&2 (Chandra needs to see 😉) - wrote & directed Iron Man 3 - even wrote and directed "The Predator" (2018) Great job! 🤘😄👍

Get to da choppa!!!

Classic movie 🎥! Enjoy guys .. Fun FACT Jean Claude Van Damme was originally in the suit before they redesigned it.

They were stumped well into production at how to depict the predator. On a plane flight with someone involved with the film, I forget who, James Cameron gave a suggestion: "mandibles". Even in the movies he wasn't making in the 80s and 90s he was helping to save the day. It was a bit of a mistake to show the alien ship at the start because it was a huge spoiler. But the rest of the movie - great. Get to the choppah!

This released a year prior to Die Hard and the same year as The Running Man. Arnold Schwarzenegger reunited with director John Mctiernan for Last Action Hero. After this are three sequels, a prequel, two crossover films, comics, graphic novels and videogames. The titular creature was originally played by Jean Claude Van Damme, but was replaced by the more physically imposing Kevin Peter Hall. Other Arnold Schwarzenegger films to watch include Pumping Iron, Conan the Barbarian, Commando, Raw Deal, The Running Man, Red Heat, Twins, Total Recall, Kindergarten Cop, Terminator 2, Last Action Hero, True Lies and Eraser

Sweaty Jungle muscles was my college band name 🤣. Another fantastic reaction.

Good reaction, guys. Btw, this 1987 movie featured 2 actors who many years later would actually go on to be Governors. Arnold became the Governor of California...and Jesse Ventura (the guy with the huge machine gun who upon being told he was shot, replied with "I ain't got time to bleed!") became the Governor of Minnesota. And a 3rd guy in that group ran for the Governor of Kentucky. Also, Governor Jesse Ventura was a former US Navy Seal who ran covert operations like these. After his military career he eventually became one of the biggest WWE wrestlers, and then transitioned into some acting roles, and then successfully campaigned to be the Governor of Minnesota.

Peter Cullen the original voice actor for Optimus Prime was the voice of the Predator.

Twins with Danny DeVito... great comedy movie with Arnold

Growing up in the 80's was the most magical time, enjoying the Action 80's. Bruce Willis may have proven that you don't need muscles to fight off bad guys, but you just can't help but love the Schwarzenegger era. So glad you guys got a kick out of 1 of my Top 3 favorite Arnold movies!

You people are so intensely FOCUSED, I love it!

Superb reaction as always with your channel! 🙂 Keep up the good work! 👍🏻

I just rewatched this a couple nights ago! With a big bowl of popcorn and the windows open to let in that early summer breeze... doesn't get much better than that 😃

Predator 2 is a pretty good sequel IMO, same basic concept in a totally different environment, and it has Danny Glover. :)

Right now what I love most about you two is that you always RESPECT THE INTEGRITY of the movie that you're watching. You allow yourselves to feel what the movie (piece of art) is trying to convey. It's reactors like yourselves that allow me to feel like I'm watching the movie for the first time again. That is something special. THANK YOU. 🙏 👍

Shane Black, did the Leathal Weapons movies and other films. Think he was a writer and producer. Jean Claude Va Damme was in the actually Predator costume to begin with filming, but quit or was replaced. The guy at the end flying the chopper to pick up Dutch was the real person in the costume. I was 7 seeing this film and it is one of my all time favorites. Rip Carl Weathers. (Dillion)

I am writing this to help out Shandra and Jordan and this video and this channel with the algorithm 🥰

Many iconic lines, but my favorite is "I can't tell".

Watched this loads as a kid, but also loved the sequel Predator 2. 👍

first time I watched I was in suspense the whole time. good movie

I look back in awe that I watched this with my dad when I was 10 back when it came out on video. Can't imagine letting my kids watch this nowadays lol.

I can’t say how good this was in the theater! Yes, keep going with all of them…they are a blast!!😄

I can now reveal that I was Arnold's arm double in this movie. You believe me, don't you?

Great reaction! 👍🏻Always loved this movie, I remember watching this as a kid when my parents rented the VHS from the local shop. Those were the days, walking around the store checking out all the new releases. Seemed more exciting back then.

You would not believe how loud the mowing down the jungle scene was in the theater

If you two haven't seen it yet, Conan The Barbarian (1982) is a must see! Arnold's breakout role, plus a truly surprising, unique film of adventure like no other! As for the Predator movies. None are on par with the original, but Predator 2 is well worth the watch, and a really fun and interesting movie. The most recent, Prey, is well liked. It's not a franchise that had many winners, but it is still fun to watch through them, if/when the mood strikes. The Predator vs Aliens movies are even worse - BUT, ya know, they're all we've got for that scenario and have some dumb fun, I suppose. Arnie has some more great movies to watch though. Total Recall, Running Man, Twins, True Lies, Commando, Kindergarten Cop, The Last Action Hero... Take your pick! And, don't forget Conan!! ❤❤

The sound design and sound editing for Predator was outstanding. In movies theaters with good sound systems, you got a sense of where the Predator was located when camoflaged by the sound of a tree branch or other forest material. You also knew when the Predator was above or to the right or left of a character. Very smart filmmaking that enhanced our appreciation of the stealthiness of the alien creature.

Thoroughly enjoyed you guys enjoying this movie!!

There is a really cool theory that was somewhat backed up by cannon that the T-800 model terminators that skynet uses are modeled after Dutch . After defeating a predator 1 v 1 the govt took Dutch and they started preparing for a predator invasion . They used tech recovered to advance our tech and even gave Dutch some cyber parts so he could live longer because he took a radiation hit from the explosion. Dutch would come to be one of the founders of Cyberdyne systems which was originally created to combat predators. Cyberdyne /Skynet saw Dutch as the greatest human warrior so they used his image on the T-800 I wish i could remember where I read this , it was from a newer Predator graphic story . It also included Dutch's brother who basically spent his life searching for Dutch after this incident.

This was filmed here in México, the intro scene at the beach and the military base was in Mismaloya town, near Puerto Vallarta , and there is a atractive park called EL Edén where at this day is there a part of the chopper they blew out and a predator statue

Get to da choppa. When I went to an Arnold meet & greet as he left the stage he turned back & yelled this 😊

Hope you two are having an great and awesome day ❤

Billy was such a badass they had a bodyguard shadow him to protect the cast and crew from him

Jesse Ventura was a professional wrestler in his younger years and then later was elected as the governor of Minnesota. So there are two future governors in this movie, the other of course being Arnold as the future governor of California.

Alan Silvestri also did the score for Back to the Future which is very similar except for the main theme. Once you know this, you'll always hear the music of one in the other. ;)

Jesse ventra ,the guy with the mini gun,was a real NAVY SEAL

I've watched this movie a bunch of times, and never picked up on the role reversal with Dutch camouflaged in the trees, and the Predator firing wildly like its previous victims... well done Chandra!

Gears of War developers saw the giant muscles in this movie and thought "Hold my beer"

I wasn't really in the mood to watch Predator tonight but your enthusiasm hooked me in

Terminator, T2, Alien, Aliens, Predator, Robocop, and Starship Troopers are all so good in a very similar way.

One Of My All Time Favorite Action Movie's, Great Reaction Guy's,See You Both At The Next One,Katy & Otis

I'm a big fan of Predator 2. Imho it's the best one of any of the sequels. Expands on the Predator lore in an interesting way too.

Another John McTiernan movie that doesn't get enough love is The 13th Warrior, starring Antonio Banderas. It's an adaptation of the Michael Crichton novel "Eaters Of The Dead", which itself is a riff on the classic story of Beowulf. VERY different from both Die Hard and Predator, but also very enjoyable.

Fun fact: This was filmed down in Mismaloya, Mexico and the actors hated it because of the heat,insects and other stuff. They were miserable the whole time. The mini gun is electric so there was a battery cable hooked to it that was hidden by special affects.

An absolute 80's classic!

If you can find the behind the scenes special features you can really tell everyone had a blast making this movie, also see all the friendships made.

Fun Fact Kevin Peter Hall plays the helicopter pilot in the 1987 film Predator and also plays the Predator in the film. Director John McTiernan gave Hall the role of the unnamed pilot as a thank you for his weeks of grueling work in the Predator suit. Hall also makes a cameo as the pilot who comments on the view of the mushroom cloud in the Guatemalan jungle.

Finally someone else who knows that the smaller the scorpion the more dangerous it is lol.I keep telling people that but they never believe me

Great reaction, fellow canadians. You have yourself a new subscriber

Never noticed Pancho is reading Sgt. Rock and Easy Company.

The fact that you realize smaller species of scorpion are often more potent. Coolness. I actually have that species as a pet and they glow insanely bright under UV. Anyhow, I like the chemestry you two have, oh how I wish I had friends to watch movies with. All my friends are not so local or not into movies, etc. Most of them don't even watch my videos or know I have even been on TV , lol.

One of the weird bits of trivia that I always like to point out when someone reacts to this movie is that two of the actors - Arnold, obviously, and Jesse Ventura, who played the guy who chewed tobacco - both later become governors in real life. Arnold was governor of California and Jesse Ventura was governor of Minnesota. And the guy who played Billy apparently ran for governor of Kentucky, but lost.

Can watch this movie a 100 times!

I can't believe you cut the "get to the chopper" moment ^^

LOVE The Predator!!! Good to see you watching this ❤

Chandra welcome to the Predator and Alien Universe, place your bets on who will win. Also check out Predator 2. It’s just as badass as this movie.

If Die Hard was your favorite action film… wait until you see Terminator 2: Judgement Day.

Can I just say I've watched a few of your reactions and Sir, you have a magnificent mustache. 😉😊🥰

Ifthe British Polive would see Billy's "knife" they would be cancelling holidays for this "all hands on deck" situation lol

i first seen this movie when i was 13 years old and i loved it

Last year there were former special forces team members who put the Predator Mud scene to the test. They used the best thermal infrared imagers the Army and Navy have and the Mud defeated all four military-grade infrared imagers.

The closing credits go with any 80s sitcom theme song.

True Lies. Gotta watch True Lies. Another Arnold lead that’s really fun.

"Ve mayk astan heaa, o der vill be no wan leff to go to da choppa..."

Great reaction, as often with you guys. "I ain't got time to bleed" remains to this day the most badass one-liner ever written, imo. But but but, no comment on Shane Black?! Come on!! :D

What make this 80s classic Arnie movie so special at the time was subverting expectation in an actual refreshing great way from a typical action fest beginning into a surprising effective horror movie. Yes indeed its from the same filmmaker that also did classic Die Hard :-)

Just In Time Reaction! Fresh pot of quality coffee just brewed! Another franchise 80's sci-fi thriller, the twist on hunting "The Most Dangerous Game", the famous 1924 short story about hunting an intelligent human that just might fight back....

Great movie from 1987! RIP Carl Weathers 🙏🏿

Predator 2 a good sequel imo
