3 days and a $500 budget!??? That makes it absolutely laughable that the newest Predator movie had a budget of 88 million and produced something I absolutely hated. Great work!

For anyone who doesn’t know or remember, when a predator dies, it’s clan mates will pick it up and carry it away, whilst rewarding the victors for their feats.

I was going to be rather critical of this project until finding out that it was made in three days and a $500 budget. This is really damn impressive work, given the circumstances. You guys should be proud of the final product -- great work!

I love how they both exchanged gestures with how the other guy does it in the end. It shows how much respect they gained from each other. Really great writing.

This goes to show you that you don't need big Hollywood names or budget to make a good film. Awesome job to all that were involved making this awesome short film.!!!

Well done. That phrase the Japanese soldier said before landing the lethal blow was absolutely badass.

I’ve always loved military history, especially in the Pacific theater during WWII. The acting, the uniforms, the weapons, the military jargon, the soldiers body language, everything is amazing; and then to throw a Yautja right in the middle of it. You guys did an awesome job; I love this video!! The big studios could take some pointers from you guys!

Imagine putting a lot of deep lore into fan films like these.

3 days, $500...Holy shit, nice job everyone involved! When a fan film is almost indistinguishable from the original it's based on... wow. Outstanding.

A well done Predator fanflick - really wanted to see more :)

Kenji , you guys are amazingly talented! With just $500 & in 3 days, you're produced a film clip as watchable as the Original Predator! Hope this fun project opens doors for you and your guys professionally. You all deserve it. All the best!

That moment the Japanese and the Americans both just stood in horror starring at the hanging bodies gives me chills

So here I am, stumbling years later into this brilliant if brief gem. Well done!!

This was posted seven years ago and I'm just finding it now? What the heck, LOL... I loved it. Very good work!

This is excellent. Nothing over the top. The actors played their part. Whoever did this did a great job.

52M views is well deserved. Better than any of the stuff Hollywood have churned out since predator 2

I'm a simple guy. When I see a good predator film and hear the classic music, I hit the like button!

I refuse to believe this was made on a $500 budget. The cinematography, sound design, editing, camera composition? *EVERYTHING* about this short film was excellently crafted with the utmost care and finesse! Plus the fact the colors mimicked those of an old, colorized war film was an exquisite touch among other things, even the story of two enemies becoming brothers-in-arms against a common foe was nothing more than the cherry ontop! The only fault this film has is the audio not being visibly synced properly, but that isn't anything sound programs like Audacity and whatever video program you fancy using can't fix! 9.5/10!

That was amazing! This group should be in charge of making all future Predator movies.

MY MELANESIAN AND POLYNESIAN BLOODS, LOVED THIS AND LOVE TO SEE MY PASIFIKA PEOPLE SHINE ON SCREEN. This Franchise really NEEDS a Pacific version, perhaps during the world war, but also pre colonial times, our mythology and warrior culture would be amazing to see represented in a stand off with the yautja as the skypeople. Love the way the japanese and the pasific soldiers worked together to beat it.

Taking it to the next level with this film. Great concept, I absolutely loved it. I'm a big Predator fan, so this film is forever imbedded. Super badass short film.

"It's drawn to heat and conflict" This fan film is more lore friendly than most of the films.

A lot of fan films I just skip right around to the end. This one is insanely good no matter the cost of production and I was compelled to watch every second. I love the camera angles chosen that make you feel like you are right in the middle of the action.

Better than any Hollywood studio could ever do today, bravo.

I love that this is set during WW2. One of the most compelling aspects of the Predators is that they've come to our planet during many different time periods. I love seeing the Predators fight humans with different equipment and tactics throughout different time periods in history. It adds something fresh and different to the table. I also recommend The Predator Dark Ages fan film if you're interested in stuff like this!

Dude just wanted a reason to show off his Samoan tats 😂💪🏽

Among Predator films, you truly are Cherry blossom. Thanks for putting so much talent and strenght. Hollywood should be ashamed of what they're doing after watching this. Best wishes from Argentina!

That was twenty times better than the last one they released!

Really terrific stuff here guys! I am only just now finding out about the enormous selection of fan based films. Some are so good it is hard to imagine why the makers are not getting more commercial success

Better than the shit we got this year. That Predator film suffered from 'everybody is the comedy relief' effect that plagues so many movies these days

This has been the most enjoyable and thrilling thing I have seen since the movie came out. THANK YOU. I have a small tear of joy in my eye. It honestly could not have been made better.

Outstanding work! An entertaining addition to the Predator/Alien/Engineer universe with an actual message we would all do well to start paying attention to... That's alot of bang for $500.00 and 3 days. I sure hope you decide to keep these coming.

As fan films go, this was quite good.

That was simply astounding! I could see the low budget from the first few minutes, but the screenplay, acting and action sequence was magnificent, I didnt give a shit about the budget, I was grateful to have those 9:36 minutes in my life.

That was EPIC ..... would love to see a feature length version .... well done

this is amazing for 3days and $500. you should be very very very proud, this is a pure masterpeice

This is better than the sequels or prequels from the previous Predator series. I have so much respect for your work.

Great camera work, awesome editing, perfect use of the original soundtrack. Couldn't stop watching and smiled when the credits rolled.

YES!!! I haven't even watched the video yet and I love the concept! I've been hoping this concept would one day be adopted for film. I think I remember coming across it in a Predator comic called "sands of time". I say that but I could be wrong because it is a distant memory from childhood when I collected comic books. So glad you took this on as a fan film, I can't wait to finish watching it! Update: just watched it. I must say, well done. Hope to see more! And I hope they were rewarded for defeating the Predator : )

Three days and $500 ten years ago... From 2019 to 2023, with a budget of $129 million, The Meg 2: The Trench looks much worse than this. I cannot IMAGINE what you guys could do with half the budget and time. Absolutely fantastic stuff.

This has been my favourite fan-film on KZfaq for a long time now. So badass.

I've read that the Predators movie had a budget of 40 million dollars. YOU guys did this with 500 dollars. I can't imagine what you could do if you get a budget of 500 grand or even just a hundred. Nicely done.

Really damn good! I'd watch a full length! Love the little subtle ways the brought back things from the OG movie.

Absolutely amazing clip im astonished how good it was on just $500, Hollywood needs to know about you guys, Amazing !!!!!

It was dumb of the Japanese soldier to yell before he tried to strike the Predator. Gave himself away.

Not gonna lie. The idea of a predator movie set during WWII is awesome. I mean we learned from the first 2 films that they are drawn to combat. Makes you wonder why they haven't made a movie about it already. But these guys? 3 days and 500 budget? Brilliant short film. Well done lads. Loved it.

This was amazing! You guys did a fantastic job! Well done

Parabéns pela produção, história, direção e atuação dos atores! Excelente projeto!

That predator score and sound effects are what make it magical. Awesome job

Best Predator Short Fan Film EVER!

Very nice! Based on the first predator movie, but in another settlement. It is well done, music, actors, props... Congratulations!

This was a decently well done fan film. I just now saw it, posted in 2013, and it's now 2022...

For a fan-made movie, you guys did a really good job. I wish this one was longer, being a Predator fan, I must say, I really enjoy watching this one.

Gotta love how after those two fought together, they saluted each other as a sign of respect.

We can all agree that 499$ of their 500$ budget went on the parrot in the 7:00 minute of the film lol

AMAZING. Superior work. Better scenes than some of Hollywood's. HATS OFF!

SIMPLY AMAZING! With a budget of $500 you guys make movie that is 10 times better than Predator 2018 that cost so much money i dont even want to think about it.. The presence feeling from the first minutes went straight up my spine and then it was a pleasure until the end! Please do more!

When a Predator takes of its mask it’s a sign of respect and it would only give a trophy for doing something great not running away

THIS is way better than the 2018 Predator movie we got

Why is this popping up on my feeds 9yrs later!!!???? This was amazing

This is absolutely phenomenal. Better than any of the newer movies. I'm sorry that I missed this new.

Well done guys, perfect use of the music from the movie and decent effects for your super low budget. This puts Hollyweird to shame.

Really very cool indeed! Beautifully made! Looks amazing and a good cast of actors too.

Only 287k likes? Yet has over 50 MILLION views! Come on people!! Isn't this badass enough for a like?

We all know what to say. Repeat after me : "It's better than the latest predator movie"

Crazy how this is better than a 100 million dollar film

500 buck? That is just incredible. I mean incredible film at any budget. But 500? Such great cast and cinematography

Brilliiant on every level. Be proud of your work. I'd love to see a big budget "Hollywood" Predator film set in 1960's Vietnam

I love how at the end you made it sound like the elders or leaders of the hunt were revealing themselves most likely to give the soldiers and honorary gift and collect the body nicely done

The way they greeted each other based on the other's culture, one bowing, the other saluting was an amazing touch. This whole project was astonishing, congrats.

That beauty of a fan film. I loved watching. Thank you for sharing.

Excellent production despite of its budget. It reflects that if you include your passion into your work, you will be succesful. Inspirational work.

This is better 100 times than 2019 Predator😁

Great job. I love when people can come together for a common goal and put any hate/differences aside.

These vinettes of Preditor are so well done that Hollywood may crumble prematurely.

Now THAT is what I like to see! Real men fighting to the death against incredible odds! Well done!

This was awesome! Great acting, costumes, and effects. I loved that ending fight and the salute/bow gesture. Perfect 10/10

That was pretty awesome...well done to whoever made it...proves Japanese steel is "out of this world"

"three days on a $500 budget" you guys are geniuses !!!

For a $500 dollar budget---AMAZING WORK.

This is badass and one of the best Predator short films.

Sir? This film turned me into a subscriber. DAMN good work sir. DAMN good work.

Better than the last predator movie

This was the best mini clip since the 1st Predator Movie .

This should be a full length movie

I have to say that was incredible I wish there was more the writing was excellent and the special effects were very good movie quality all the way very impressive!👍🏼🤩💪🏼♥️

NOT BAD for 500 dollars and the will power! KEEP IT UP man, this was enjoyable.

Excellent effort where you stayed true to the first movie. Loved the Preditor's Rubic's Cube.

That predator looks amazing and LOVE the location. Very cool!

Super well done. With the proper budget and script this could’ve be expanded to a great feature film

I knew nothing about the background of this movie....just a “Predator” fan. But as soon as I heard “bumbye you learn” I had to laugh. Repping the 808! Awesome work on this movie!

戦争当時はばりばり敵国同士だったわけだけど、当時の時代設定で日本人キャラクターにもこうして見せ場を持たせてくれるのは嬉しいね。昔は昔、今は今っていうその考え方には気持ちがいいし、感謝してるよ。

This was better than the new Prey movie 👏

How is it that a bunch of enthusiastic amateurs with basic equipment and almost no funding can produce something better than most of the so called Hollywood 'blockbusters'? These are the people who should be making films today.

Good camera work great angles, music, sound, lighting was awesome.

This remember me of the 80's classic predator film. Well done.

Predator rubix cube? 🤣 Very entertaining fan film, I enjoyed it immensely, and it was very well done.

Great effort and ultra strong result with a damn low budget. This is What we call IQ not high hollywood budget.

$500 and 3 days worth of shooting? Round of applause. That was pretty fucking good.

To me, the outstanding original Predator soundtrack by Alan Silvestri is 50% of what made the movie so great and memorable. Back then, the producers understood this, since they reused most of it in Predator 2. The creators of this glorious short film clearly understood that too 👌
