3:29 watching the cat slide back till he eventually falls was too funny 😂

That air arm wrestling was so powerful, it knocked your kitten off of R2D2 🤣🤣

The actor who played the Predator was Kevin Peter Hall. He was also the black chopper pilot at the end. The director wanted to give him some face time for being such a good sport during filming. Kevin Peter Hall also played Harry in Harry And The Henderson's. A comedy about a family that finds Bigfoot in the woods and brings him back to the suburbs with them. Its a fun family, G-rated, comedy. In 1992 Kevin Peter Hall was in a bad car accident in Los Angeles. He was rushed to the hospital. During surgery he was accidentally given contaminated blood and passed away. RIP KEVIN PETER HALL

The reason the Predator took of his helmet and shoulder canon was because it saw Dutch as an extremely worthy opponent worthy of hand to hand combat. The Predators are basically a race of hunters, who go around the universe and collect trophies from the most dangerous prey they can find. They seek a challenge. Which is why the people who end up being an easy kill are just strung up, while people who put up a fight (like Billy) become a trophy. When Dutch managed to partly destroy the Predators gear and even wounded him, it was surprised that he managed to do that. Thats why it pressed him against the wall and examined his skull for a moment - it made sure that Dutch was truly just a normal human, because he was likely the first human ever to really hurt and challenge it. When it realized that yes, Dutch is just an ultra badass human, it decided to even the playing field´and go man against man, to show Dutch respect for his skills. They also dont hurt kids, pregnant women or generally unarmed people, because all of those cant really defend themselves, which means it would be extremely dishonorable and cowardly for a Predator to kill them. When a Pred ignores these rules and kills without honor, it is outlawed and its basically open season on it for the rest.

14:49 There’s no such thing as “wasting ammo” in a 80s action flick. 😂👌🏻

Billy is a trained tracker. He’s so good at seeing footprints in mud, holes in plants so he can see what steps the person made, how heavy they were and what direction they ran.

Billy was a truly great character. He sensed something beyond normal from the start. This was a hardened veteran of an elite team that saw the worst the world had to offer for likely decades. Never afraid of any man or situation, this encounter was something that terrified his very being. In the end, he realized there was no escape... the only question was if he was going to go down via an ambush.. or if he was going to stand his ground and make one last stand. Although it didn't buy much time for his team, it DID buy the predator's respect. Granted, the "prize" was to be made a trophy. But nonetheless, Billy made a real impression on the predator. It saw Billy sensed him and was looking at him. And he chose to fight him 1 on 1....hand to hand. Respect for this earth warrior.

I felt Billy's Last Stand was to prove he wasn't afraid . He would prefer to die than to run and meet his enemy face to face even though he could not win very heroic

Billy was a Native American. His Deep Connection to the Earth and Animals made him an Excellent Scout and Tracker. When Billy Cut himself across the Chest, it was a Native American Warriors way of Depriving the enemy the honor of drawing "First Blood". Billy's way of Giving the Predator "The Finger" before dying. The Cold water and Mud Masked Arnold's body heat from the Thermal Scanners.

5:20 Guerillas are small and high mobile combat units which specialized in ambushes then make themselves disappear as fast as possible. 6:00 Billy is a Native American, not a clairvoyant but a tracker. 32:53 This helicopter pilot is the actor donning the Predator costume.

Blue just a little trivia about this movie. Two of the actors would later become Governors of two States, Arnold (California) and Jesse Ventura who played Blain (Minnesota)

The Predator is not invisible, it's using some advanced technology to bend light and camouflage itself to whatever background is available. As far as shooting and wasting ammo, they weren't. The sergeant shouted 'contact', which alerts the rest of the team that he's engaged the enemy. Until the order to break contact is given, they will usually fire until their weapons run out of ammo. They almost certainly have more ammo with them, so it's not a big risk.

What I love about this movie is that everything that's scary about the predator, its camoflauge, firepower, stealth and trapping- Are the same strengths the team has over their own targets. Billy especially has a kindred spirit in the predator. His honour prevented him from ever acting like prey.

Billy decided he wasn't going to run anymore and challenged the Predator to fight him face to face. Dutch did not set a double-tarp, he just realized thatthe Pred had moved under the weigh that was supposed to pull the trap closed so he set off the trap to relase the weight.

This movie is a treasure trove of oft-repeated lines. "I don't have time to bleed." "If it bleeds, we can kill it." "Get to the choppah!" And more. The Predator's vision is infra-red based. Heat sources. It's not a "technology" that fritzes in and out because of water.

One of the greatest sci-fi horror action movies of all time :D Edit: Guerrillas not Gorillas :D Billy isn't psychic but he's spiritual, and he's a tracker so he can tell exactly how many people, what gear they have etc, just by their tracks. Also, the bullet spray and shells left behind, he can tell how a battle went down just by looking at the area. A Hook is the radiophone. The Jungle Salad scene wasn't exactly a waste of ammo though... all the team knows is Mac screams Contact and was firing... they join him, see that Blain is downed, and they open fire in the same direction Mac is firing. They don;t know yet that they're firing at an alien, all they know is Blain is dead, and there's enemies in the area. Definitely give Predator 2 a go, it's underrated. The rest of the Pred movies are garbage.

Guerrillas is spanish meaning essentially "little warriors" it means a person who is an insurgent or rebel fighting using asymmetric warfare against an established and organized military force like a national army. The term originated in Central and South America and became widely adopted to describe this type of fighter.

"Ten years ago one of his kind stalked and eliminated an elite special forces unit in Central America. There were two survivors. They indicated that when trapped, the creature activated a self-destruct device that destroyed enough rainforest to cover 300 city blocks." Edit you'll like the second movie, some good info there... *information here would be a spoiler, so I'm going to wait till you watch it and post there*

Trixy's Q: "Does Billy have powers or what?" -- I think they wrote Billy as kind of a Ranger class in DnD, with super good perception, survival, nature skills, etc. ... it is kind of the Hollywood trope of a modern indigenous person that is as excellent at these skills as his ancestors... but we don't know Billy's background so he could have grown up using these kind of native skills.

I love the kitten, just casual kitten stuff in the background...falling off things etc :D

Arnold was actually 40 when he made Predator in 1987, which is three years after Terminator, but he had changed his fitness regime, because he was now appearing in movies, rather than body building competitions.

Quick clarification, but Billy isn’t clairvoyant, he’s a tracker, meaning he watches and listens to the environment around him to help him in the battlefield. He doesn’t spiritually sense the Predator, he observed his surroundings and felt something was off in the jungle. Think of a cat who smells prey, but also smells something dangerous nearby too. It’ll freeze up looking for what’s wrong around it before moving forward.

I think the "second trap" that killed the Predator was not planned as a trap. It was just the weight that would actuate the only trap that Arnold made with the pointed sticks. It was pure luck that the Predator got under the weight and Arnold took the opportunity.

FUN FACT: The actor playing Hawkins, the joke teller, is Shane Black. He created the Lethal Weapon franchise. He wrote the first script. And a few years ago he directed The Predator.

That horrible vision is infrared, so if you were hunting a warm blooded creature it would actually be very good. That's why modern militaries use it to see in conditions where our eyes would not be very good. And Billy just seems clairvoyant because his character is an American native so is very good at tracking and scouting and noticing things that are out of place in a natural setting. Also: Jesse Ventura went on to become Governor of Minnesota. 😅

Predator mimicking and taunting Dutch's men is not only intimidating 😳 but down right scary too! Especially at the end of the film when the Predator uses Billy's laugh before he nuked himself! -OG

Arnold was born on July 30, 1947. Predator began filming late March 1986 so Arnold was 38 years old during filming.

The "#if it bleeds we can kill it" is sheer brilliance as it serves to make the final fight so much more intense as they can both legit win. There's no need for a Deus ex machine for Dutch to win as the Predator has been shown to be vulnerable and the Predator has an equal chance of winning because it's oh-so-good at using violence.

I love that the final battle was full of strategy and cat and mouse play, Arnold was still in great physical condition, big in height and weight, his character was a killing machine and yet the Predator made him look so defenseless as a slasher's final girl in physical comparison, the predator's face is unforgettable and it is honorable choosing direct combat without energy weapons, watch the sequel is a revenge story.

The movie ALIEN VS PREDATOR is really well done and explains a lot about the Predator's 'warrior code', as well as having epic monster fight scenes. It's a fun one for you to check out. I told Magi the same. Many of these big. beefy men became politicians and made an impact off the screen as well. Arnold Schwarzenegger came to America as a penny-less Austrian immigrant, became a body builder, a 5 time Mr. Universe winner and 7 time Mr. Olympia titles, became an iconic Hollywood action hero, married into the prestigious Kennedy family, and served as Governor of California (2003-2011). Carl Weathers (Dillon) was a professional football player who went on to star in several action movies, most notably as Apollo Creed in the ROCKY movies and serves on the U.S. Olympic Committee. Jesse 'The Body' Ventura (Blain) was a member of the Navy Seals, a professional wrestler, served a 4 year term as mayor of a town in Minnesota and later was elected as Governor of that state from 1999-2003. Sonny Landham (Billy) ran for governor of Kentucky but pulled out of the race for lack fund raising and would have been the 3rd member of the cast to be a governor. Richard Chaves (Poncho) is used to the types of terrain seen in the movie as an actual Vietnam Veteran from the U.S. Army. Sadly, Kevin Peter Hall, the 7'2" actor who played the PREDATOR in the first 2 movies died of AIDS he contracted from a blood transfusion he received after a car accident.

Don't know if it's fun, but here's a fact: Hawkins was played by Shane Black, who wrote and/or directed a ton of movies like Lethal Weapon, Iron Man 3, and almost every other action movie set at Christmas. (Also, the one really disappointing Predator movie that doesn't involve Xenomorphs.) He was cast because they wanted to have a writer on set in case they needed lines. He wrote the two p***** jokes and gave them to his own character, probably because he didn't want anyone else to be held accountable for such crass humor. You should check out Shane Black's amazing and underrated movies The Last Boyscout, The Nice Guys, and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, and The Long Kiss Goodnight.

"big as a house" is a common American colloquialism

Jesse Ventura outshone Arnie with one-liners in this movie. "This makes you a sexual tyrannosaurus" "I ain't got time to bleed" "He's dug in deeper than an Alabama tick"

14:57 Trix: "Shooting at nothing" 15:28 Poncho: "We hit nothing"

This film is a great example of "Show it don't explain it", trusting that your audience will get it.

"I ain't got time to bleed!" That line turbo boosted Jesse Ventura's already sky rocketing career. It probably made him get elected as Governor of Minnesota as well.

Besides the four films after this and the two crossovers with the Alien franchise, there are also comics, graphic novels and videogames. Arnold also starred in The Running Man later that year and preceded this with Commando and Raw Deal

Billy is a Native American. Some were known for their tracking of animals and that’s what he is here a tracker. Him being a warrior he refused to be hunted. So he dropped his gun and met his end in battle like a warrior.

"Stick around." -- one of my fave Arnie one-liners of all time.

3:34 kitty falls off the beanie bag 😆

Legend has it that Trixy is naturally invisible to the Predator.

Fun fact - Kevin Peter Hall - who was the Predator has a cameo at the end as the chopper pilot

I think she thought the term gorillas actually ment the animal gorilla...lmao It's a term used Guerrilla warfare is a form of irregular warfare in which small groups of combatants, such as paramilitary personnel, armed civilians, or irregulars.. From the video it looks like you were confused about it, so I thought I'd help😊

The song playing in the chopper was "Long Tall Sally" by Little Richard. During Mac's meltdown, he was mumbling parts of it: "Well long tall Sally, she's built for speed, she got everything that Uncle John needs" and "I'm gonna have some fun tonight".

This film pulled the ultimate bait and switch. It started as a cold war action caper with related intrigue(I.E Dillion's deception of a 'rescue mission' that turned out to be an attack, much to to Dutch and the team's ire) then suddenly the Predator shows up and it turns into a slasher horror. Legendary.

Trixy is cranking out these reactions! She's like a reaction factory

Guerillas are anti-government soldiers who fight in small groups using hit-and-run tactics such as ambushes, boobytraps, snipers, etc. It's pronounced the same as a gorilla, the large jungle ape. Also, good call on recognizing the sound of the wild boar, Blue! 😉👍

"Mac, clear the area - no traces". Two weeks later Mac is still collecting bullet casings . . .

Billy was a Native American, well into a spirit world. He felt the presence of the creature, not knowing what that creature is. Suspecting it's a hunter, Billy wanted to fight it, cutting himself to bleed, to pose as a "prey". And its a great connection between the last of the Predator franchise. :)

Compare Arnold in both of the Terminator movies and to that one, the first Terminator was from 1984 and the second from 1991. That one from 1987 is in the middle of them at the beginning of his career as a movie star. Nice to see you reacting to it.

Anyone else watch a cat fall off of r2 at 3:34 or was it just me.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is in his 40s when he made this movie , Make up does wonders.. Also, the key to staying looking young is to stay fit.. As you get older, it increasingly gets more difficult to stay looking fit... And as you get older, the less food, you actually need to eat..

The flaw with the logic of this movie was that the predator killed poncho when he was badly injured and unarmed. And if they all threw their guns down it should been no sport thus it should have let them go. Fun fact; the General (played by RG Armstrong) was killed by an alien in the episode Panic of the 1960s TV show "The Invaders".

Mac climbing the hill after the Predator sounding mad repeating "I'm gonna have me some fun" over and over are actually the words/lyrics to the rock 'n roll song 🎵 played on the chopper his buddy, Blain, was playing. Mac was really close to Blain. Mac reciting the lyrics was keeping him focused. Not mad. He had a score to settle for his friend. -OG

I didn't know R2D2 had a Kitteh utility that would pop out of his head, I knew he had other tools but not a Kitteh. Love Kitteh BTW, need more Kitteh in the videos.

26:13 I remember hearing that war cry 🗣️ when I was just a toddler. 👦 Both Bone chilling and spine tingling 😅 Always had a whole new respect for Arnie after and I started saying, sir, to everyone 🫡

3:33 Cat at background is best 😂

There is only one word needed to describe this epic movie. FLAWLESS 👌

@3:34 the cat in the background is the funniest thing on this channel

Hi Blue!🙂"Terminator" was filmed 3 years before this film. Both Arnold and the director lost 25 pounds each while filming this movie. When we first see Arnold, he had probably been shooting on location for a while. You look nice with your dark top and blonde/blue hair.💙Crazy Kitty (Demi) seems to be settling down.🐈🐈🐱🐱 Great reactions for the original Predator film!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Yes, The Predator films that offer the most about the creature are: "Predator 2" (1990), "Alien vs. Predator" (2004), and the prequel "Prey" (2022).

Excellent job TrixyBlue! Billy wanted to take on the Predator in hand to hand combat, but the Predator proved to be too much for Billy to fight.

Fun drinking game... Every time it says "Oh my God" you down a shot... The person who's kidneys have not failed within the first 30 minutes wins.

Such a manly handshake I think Trixy grew a moustache for a second there.

When I was a college student and Arsenio Hall had a talk show in the evenings, I watched him often, and he had Schwarzenegger on to promote Terminator 2, and Arnold made the point to pronounce his name correctly for Arsenio, and I've always thought of the proper pronunciation when I see and hear his name. See if I can spell it. Shfatzen-ekka, something like that. I'm so impressed that he spent a good portion of his early years in Hollywood with an accent coach to speak english better. Also, you have to imagine in 1987, there hadn't been anything remotely close to the level of blood in this movie, even in the horror/slasher movies, so this was really next level gross/horrific.

When Mack said he "capped off 200 rounds in the Minigun" I think he was suppose to say 2,000 rounds because based on the fire rate of a minigun and the time duration of him using it on screen, 200 hundred rounds would have taken ONE second.

Billy wasn't necessarily psychic, but he was an absolutely masterful *top* tracker/stalker, who could 'read' even subtle signs, and who had an 'awareness' when something wasn't 'right'. He realized, near the end, that it wasn't going to be stopped, conventionally, so he took a stand - one-on-one - against it. Hoping that, maybe, he might slow it down? And give the others a chance to 'get to the choppa'! Unfortunately, he obviously didn't last long. I was impressed, over-all, with how you (at times) quickly picked-up on things, despite the fact that you don't have much, if any, knowledge of military tactics or equipment, or hunting. You really seemed to 'feel'/read the situation. His 'fuzzy vision' was because he was 'seeing' thermal (heat) emissions, rather than regular light. Thermal radiation is courser (especially at body-heat wavelengths) than regular, optical, vision. The advantage is that your target/prey will tend to stand-out (significantly) against a cooler background. Over all, very good reaction!

YES!! MY #1 FAVORITE ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER MOVIE! Facts you didn't know about the movie: Jean Claude van Damme played the Predator in some parts of the movie, but quit production as he was tired of wearing the original suit which looked like a lizard insect hybrid. He even wanted to kickbox Arnold but the producers refused. Kevin Peter Hall RIP was cast as the titular character as he was more of an intimidating opponent for Arnold's character Dutch being 7'2". The Predator suit was done by Oscar Winning VFX company Stan Winston Studios 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. No hot meals were allowed due to the extreme heat in Mexico. They only ate protein bars. The producers hired a bodyguard to protect people from Sonny Landham, RIP, whom played Billy, as he was prone to violent outbursts. Landham said in an interview that "We weren't making a movie, it was a survival story for all of us." The scene where the stuntman falls off the cliff and lands in the water actually blew out his kneecap. It was 110° in the shade, while it was 42° at night. It rained for 2 weeks, making filming even more difficult. The film was was a box office and critical success, making $100 million dollars ($350 million dollars today) against an $18 million dollar budget. It was nominated for Best Visual Effects but lost to InnerSpace. It's now considered to be one of the best Sci-fi Action movies ever made.

Arnold was born in 1947. If you wanna see him in his youth, just watch 'Hercules in New York', when he was about 22

What they did when they first made contact, spraying the jungle with bullets is a real tactic called defoliation. When a squad knows the immediate location of a threat without knowing the numbers they pound the area with overwhelming force. You cannot outrun a bullet. and a large portion of those rounds penetrated deep into the jungle. They don't know it's staying in the trees. Anything on foot would have been screwed.

Blain "I ain't got time to bleed" isn't always eating something. He's chewing tobacco. He offered his chew to everyone in the chopper on the way to their mission. None would take. Blain says this stuff would make you a "sexual tyrannosaurus. Like me." He chews. And he is fond of his music 🎶. The same song you liked that he was playing on his ghetto blaster on the chopper too. He also wore his MTV shirt right before he lost his life. -OG

Great reaction to an awesome movie. Scared the shit out of me as a kid and led to a lot of sleepless nights. The last trap wasn't a two-parter, though. The idea was that the predator would walk into it, knock the stick loose and when the log dropped, the vine would be jerked up into the Predator's crotch and pull him up into the spikes. Predator noticed the spikes and went around. It was just dumb luck that he stood under the log. It took me an embarrassingly long time to work that out.

@3:33 Kitty falls off R2 lol

It was originally Jean-Claude Van Damme as playing the Predator. But for JCVD the mask and body suit made him pass out out of dehydration. So he was replaced by Kevin Peter Hall

The helicopter pilot is the Predator! He had a speaking line in the chopper, so he could have a film acting credit! There's lots of good Predator movies, aaaand Alien vs Predator!!😮😮😮" Get to the Choppa!". And from his movie before this," c'mon Bennett... Let's Party!" Engineers, from the movie Prometheus, supposedly developed Aliens, Predators, humans, and the technology for Replicants and Terminators.What a cast! Jesse was a total wildman ex contractor, bigger and taller than Arnold! The Indian guy was such an animal, he had round the clock security detail, to protect everyone and everything else, from him! The bald black dude was a classically trained, stage actor, I think even at Juliard! And always a badass, also in the movies, Arnold's Commando, and American Jiggolo!!! Also Arnold's comedies are hilarious! Specially Twins and Kindergarten cop!!

Blue.. Arnold was actually like in his late 30s early forties when you did this movie which is absolutely insane

Kitty was blown away from that arm wrestle!!!

Movies aren't made like this these days because CG is cheaper than physical special effects. The thermal vision of the Predator was some early IR and CG mixed. It is very hard to create a 100% replication of an explosion in CG because a real explosion has so many variables and effects happening in real time, something even today's computers can't quite emulate. They continually get better, but nothing can ever replace the real thing in terms of dynamics. A solid knock-down drag-out fight is uncommon in films these days. Why? :Shrug: It's not what they give us? 80's and 90's movies have a special set of charms specific to their decades. It was good, action, excitement, romance, fun kind of stuff and the fact that it is so rare these days is almost a crime.

"Is he gonna start worshiping that thing?" I'll always remember this from now on 🤣🤣🤣

Billy is Native American, he is very in tune with his surroundings. His necklace was a medicine pouch. His family could have been from a long line of Shamanic healers, or "Witch Doctors".

You can tell there's no filter between her mouth and brain with some of the things she comes up with😂

blu the guy who arnold shot after he kicked down the wall and said knock knock was played by his best/childhood friend and he was in a lot of arnold's movies in the 1980's and 90's

That's the point. Arnold was a deliberate choice of character as he's a reconstruction of the action hero. He can do all those things, and he's powerless against the Predator. The director, John McTioernan's, next movie was Die hard where he made it so obvious that no one could miss it by getting caught in their biases around the main character.

ha ha poor little cat on the R2-D2 Plush 3:33 =p

Billy doesn't have powers Trixy. He's an expert tracker with highly developed instincts.

The tree trunk was never a trap. It was apart of the deadfall trap in which when triggered, would act as a counter-balance weight to trap its victim. It trunk was NEVER its own trap. It was by sheer coincidence that the predator was standing right under the trunk so you could kick the trigger and drop it right on the predator.

Someone's got special glasses almost killed me lol

"Billy" is a native American tracker from the Comanche Nation.

Blue, you're really becoming GOOD at this!!!!!!!!!!! So enjoyable. Cheers from Paris There's a SHITLOAD of CRAZY TRIVIA about this film. Sonny Landham, Billy, had a bodyguard... to protect THE REST OF THEM from him. There are two future FREAKING GOVERNORS in this film and Billy also campaigned for it. The Predator was originally a silly lizard played by Jean-Claude Van Damme doing karate chops in a godzilla suit in the jungle but they soon realized it was stupid. The actors woke up at 5.00 am to train their muscles in secret to be bigger than the next guy. Jesse Ventura, Blain the one with the (ahem) "minigun" (that's how you call that revolving machine gun), was punched in the face by the guy American Sniper was about.

As an argentinian I can't express how proud I feel of being represented by her 🇦🇷 😢🤧

Fun Fact: the pilot at the end of movie also plays Predator.

The Terminator (1984) was Arnold's 8th movie and it was the break that propelled him to frontline Hollywood status. Predator (1987) was his 12th film and he was by now already well established as a major Hollywood star.

"Noooo the trees!" ...oh you're going to be REALLY unhappy in a few minutes XD

Guerrilla = a fighter, usually part of a small paramilitary or military group. Gorilla = the big ape, of course. I wasn’t sure if you got that that’s what they were talking about

He has a invisible cloak. This is not Harry Potter 😆

the actor playing billy had a serious problem with drinking and fighting and had two or three huge black bouncers only to drag him away before he could cause trouble. also I love that when Arnold needed someone to fight in movies, they had to get his huge bodybuilding buddies to find someone to make it even seem real. I just imagine the director like "we need someone to stand next to Arnold and not look like a wimp" Arnold " ill hit up golds gym"

"He's always eating something." That's chewing tobacco. Hence the spitting. It's really gross.

"Make a stand" is equivalent to "Stand you ground" or in other words, to stop retreating. If we don't fight here and now, they'll be nobody left to go to the chopper.

This is an excellent movie, wish you watched the second one, but you're on an Arnodl Schwartzenegger binge, so I'd recommend you watch Total Recall or True Lies, great movies both of them. PS. Love the fact you know spanish, for ome reason a lot of english speaking people do not even care about learning it.

Every Predator has a little self help kit.

"True Lies" stars Arnold Schwarzenegger AND was made by the same guy who made the first two Terminator movies. I just rewatched it myself a month ago and was literally blown away by it...the action is incredibly good, the story rocks, and the comedy is hilarious. Also on that same note, I think you had mentioned about watching the Terminator "trilogy" in those videos. I'm guessing people already told you but only the first two really matter, since those are the only two made by the original creator of the franchise. There are actually like 5 or 6 movies overall at this point, some of which feature Arnold and some don't but again, the first two are really the ones that matter.
