If we go by how the Yuatja culture operates. They had a one on one fight. Billy was brave enough to challenge the hunter so it answered in kind. Unbeknownst to Billy, he probably gained the hunters' respect.

Fun fact: The actor who played Billy was notorious violent alcoholic and was infamous for drinking and picking fights with cast/crew or getting into bar brawls after filming. Part of the condition of his hiring is that he was required to have a sobriety/security “coach” to keep him from drinking/fighting while filming. Althought skipping the fight works perfectly in the movie for time/repetition/foreshadowing…the director may have wanted to finish this guys scenes and be done with him.

Although it happened off screen, it doesn't take a lot of imagination to know what happened. Billy challenged the Predator to a one-on-one. Billy lost. Billy's skull and spinal column ended up in the net with the predator's other trophies. Not a lot of room for any other conclusions here.

[@AJ-yl5lt]

Well considering the fact that Billy was armed and that you could hear his scream throughout the forest after the predator got to him I think it's safe to assume that he died horribly, I've been watching this movie since I was little so many parts of it have been ingrained in my mind

[@Chet_24]

I think he knew it was a matter of when, and not if he was going to die and he decided to take it head on to get it over with.

[@nickynick3527]

True plus from the moment Billy screams to where the predator catches up to the last 3 survivors is only about 15-30 seconds

[@iunderstanphotography2780]

I always theorized that the Predator quickly knocked Billy off the log and he fell to his death, and that was why he caught up with Dutch and crew so fast

[@Unpainted_Huffhines]

We can assume that hearing the scream meant Billy died by a melee weapon. If he had been hit by the bolt caster in the head or chest, he wouldn't have screamed.

[@Buugzy]

I heard people seen versions of Billy getting struck with his own machete in the gut and getting his intestines ripped out

[@cedricthomas4867]

Billy was a “righteous “ kill by the predator , a specimen who openly challenged the Hunter with hand to hand combat.

[@scrambler350]

Just always assumed, as it is implied in the movie, that they had a one-on-one duel on the log - edged weapon VS edged weapon. Billy's large hunting knife was obviously no match for the Predator's wrist blades and superior size/strength. ..and then later when he goes one-on-one with Dutch, he discards his weapons and attacks him with his fists, backhands him, and toys with the smaller/weaker human like a cat would toy with a rat. He's doing it for pleasure. He gets braver after killing the first few with projectile weapons, then goes to melee weapons, then hand-to-hand. Glad they went with the version of the story they did and kept it relatively simple and straight forward - other version seemed too weird and artsy. I much prefer the simpler 'Hunter' motivation for the Predator character VS the novelization/early script where he's some kind of curious, amorphous being who is studying the creatures and murdering them without any emotion.

[@adamjames1375]

As a knife enthusiast, carried "hunting" knives are most often under 4 inches, for field dressing& skinning, . Some guys use bigger choppers or hatchets to quarter big game like elk and moose. Billy's knife is massive, pretty sure it's either a bowie or a combat machete. ...grammar natzee out ✌

[@scrambler350]

@@adamjames1375 Lol, true, it's a more of a bowie/machete/Crocodile Dundee kinda blade IIRC - wouldn't be much point of carrying a "hunting" (skinning) knife on a military rescue mission in the jungle.

Duh and the dact that Predator was. 7’0” tall

[@nikolastiscareno4963]

It’s so interesting how he kills them all using the surprise of attack until Billy and still attacks with a surprise when he kills pancho

[@obiwanshinobi87]

I don't think it was him getting braver... It would simply be stupid for him to just jump in a crowd of heavily armed special ops soldiers.... Billie challenged him and since Predators have some kind of honor code he granted him his wish... With Dutch, it was clear Dutch didn't really have a weapon so he discarded his blade for an "honorable" I don't see predators playing with their prey like cats do... He was simply showing dominance.. To show his "prey" that even in a honorable fight.. He is nothing compared to him... But luckily Dutch had one last trap left because it seemed to be if it wasn't for that trap the Predator would have gone for the kill since the fight was done..

[@MaryBrownIsTheBlairWitch]

I liked how 'Predators' finally showed us Billy's encounter with 'Jungle Hunter'... sort of, via Hanzo's with 'Falconer'.

[@Cr1ms0nRav3n]

Don’t forget that the entire build up of the movie led to the predator reveal at the end in his duel with Dutch after his stealth camo malfunctioned. The director obviously wasn’t going to spoil that tension by showing off the predator fighting against Billy before that climax, especially when it still had its camo-tech capabilities while it was chasing them. Billy’s moment of confronting the predator was him sacrificing himself to buy his team mates time, while at the same time showing to the audience that even someone as brave and strong as Billy and badass was no match for the entity. It added yet another layer of suspense and despair for the protagonist’s situation. Having his demise be off screen and hearing his cries of pain before his death, was basically part of the whole “don’t show off the monster yet, and keeping suspense for the audience mantra of monster movie 101”. We as a fan base years later can have fun speculating and theorizing what exactly went down between Billy and the predator, but it’s inconsequential and means nothing. What the predator did to Billy or if there was even a fight between them wasn’t the purpose of his final moment. It was just a story telling device to keep suspense, and I’ve always personally saw it as Billy sacrificing himself like a lamb to buy his friends some time, which is why he cut himself across his chest with his knife. Your immediate response is “oh shit he’s gunna make a final stand and fight” but I never considered it a fight, especially when the scream came immediately after and Dutch & Co reacted and turned around instantly. So Billy’s sacrifice to stall and give Dutch some distance didn’t do much really and barely slowed the creature down if at all, which I think was the point as well in adding more dread and suspense. Whatever the comics or novels or we as a fan base say is pure fan fiction. What matters is the movie and I hate be be blunt or insensitive but, Billy’s death ain’t that deep. It was pretty self explanatory in the film. I know how much some people would’ve liked to see what happened but it would e been a disservice to the film. It wasn’t yet time to show off the Pred, and the monster was still invisible at that point.

[@robeyhairston3298]

Damn, very well said sir. You couldn't be more spot on about how movies work.

[@liverpoolscottish6430]

It wasn't invisible to the audience by the time Billy challenged the predator. It had already revealed itself to Dillon when it deliberately showed itself to him whilst up a tree. So, the audience already knew what the predator looked like.

[@Cr1ms0nRav3n]

@@liverpoolscottish6430 it was a brief glimpse, and it immediately cloaked itself afterward. It wasn’t yet time for the pred to do a full de cloak when Billy challenged it. That was reserved for Dutch by the filmmaker towards the end. Like I said it would’ve diminished the actual reveal at the end with Dutch if the audience got a good look at him fighting Billy in a fleshed out fight scene. It wasn’t time yet. It wasn’t until the water scene when it’s cloak malfunctioned that we as audience can actual feast our eyes on the predators design and all the details as it slowly walks out of the water.

[@sethcampbell7658]

I'd agree but I'm more sure he screamed to let Dutch know that he better be prepared for what's coming,

[@hangtownvapers313]

I always wish they would have shown that fight. I'm curious if it was a blade to blade weapon and was the head collected while still alive

[@TheSlenderBassist]

Billy got got and then while his lifeless body was dropped on a thick branch his spine and skull got collected while the rest of him was discarded for the scavengers, just from what I saw in Predator

[@dizasteroid7]

They sometimes have to put scenes on the chopping block to reduce the runtime.

[@scrambler350]

Probably already pushing the boundaries of the R-rating for the 80's...and maybe the special/practical effects budget of the movie at that point.

[@AcidGlow]

quote Sonny: "they went somewhere like Romania or somewhere like that to have the music done and blew about a quarter of a million dollars there on that and it wasn’t usable". I think his death scene would've cost far less than what they spent on the music.

[@adambomb138]

Either you need to actually watch the movie, or stop the smoking. They show Billy's skull get taken high up in the trees, then the Predator kicks the rest of Billy's corpse down to the jungle floor.

[@lactoseandintolerant7601]

The scene with Billy laying dead on the branch getting his spine ripped out was pretty straightforward with how he died.

[@liverpoolscottish6430]

Billy was completely hardcore and the most interesting character in Dutch's squad. If any member of the team stood a chance of taking out the predator, it was Billy, with his native red Indian tracking skills, superb fieldcraft and ability to sense a malevolent presence in the jungle. Billy becomes tired of being constantly hunted and running from the enemy. He conquers his own fear and decides to resort to his native red Indian warrior culture- unarmed combat. Epic bravery- entering a fight he knows is very likely to be his last in order to buy time for the remaining members of the squad. I've always felt that the director missed an opportunity by not depicting Billy's fight with the predator. He should have been depicted fighting tenaciously and ferociously- inflicting some damage- slicing the predator, prior to going down himself.

[@wrestlingconnoisseur]

I always just assumed that Billy bent over for the Predator in a show of submissive humility and that was what caused the mindwrenching scream.

This is actually a real military maneuver done.. Not something that is ordered just something brave soldiers do. Billy confronting the Predator at the log bridge was more of an attempt to slow the enemy down as to cover his comrades retreat with Dutch carrying the wounded. This reminds me of the Battle of Stamford Bridge. It was the last major battle of the Vikings and ended there era of conquest when the Anglo Saxon army surprise attacked the Vikings in the early morning hours. They put up a fight with many casualties because they were unprepared with no armor on. One great lone brave Viking warrior stayed behind on the bridge to cover the retreat of the remaining Viking force to carry casualties back to the ships. Just like Billy the Viking sacrificed his life in order that others may live.

The only thing that would have made 'Predator' better was NOT showing a spaceship at the beginning of the movie. But instead, leaving the nature of the threat unknown to begin with. The audience should know as much as the characters themselves. NOTHING. But as the movie goes on. The supernatural nature of the threat slowly melts away by building more and more evidence that suggests the enemy was not supernatural, but an advanced alien hunter. This builds courage in the audience as 'Dutch' also gains his courage. "If it bleeds, we can kill it."

[@click8708]

@@AcidGlow hmmm interesting. 🤔 It would be great to know for certain. I heard people say the pod blew up when the predator hit that self destruct. But I've often thought that was just nonsense. 👍

[@AcidGlow]

@@TheRetroManRandySavage It was a deleted intro from Predator 2. Where the City Hunter would learn about Dutch either from the recorded data on the Bio mask, or from the Ship going back to their homeworld with the info. The City Hunter would then go to earth to hunt Dutch. Again, this is a from an older video so I'm going off my guess here. I'd have to watch that video and give you proper details about it. But it was a proposed way for Predator 2 to start. But since Dutch was not available, they changed the story.

[@TheRetroManRandySavage]

@@AcidGlow that's a shame. That would've been an awesome start to predator 2. Such a shame Arnold wasn't interested in it. I'm guessing he was doing terminator 2, right? Still, the studio could've maybe waited and got him after.

I’m glad they kept the movie more grounded not Billy being a psychic warrior.

[@tassapaumavijani2584]

Billy and King Willie stood toe to toe against the Yautjas, gained their respects, and got their skulls collected.

[@sfcd4757]

i dont think there was respect...i think they were easily dispatched as low level challenges...squashed like an Alabama Tick

[@laughingman212]

The preds don't waste the time and energy required to collect skull trophies if the fighter wad a worthy foe people not worry get skinned and hung upside down as a humiliation tactic now the ultimate respect is a pred removing his mask and shoulder cannon to fight you

There's nothing to wonder about what happened to Billy he died by the predator simple as that

[@justice4all368]

I think he fought a different predator because moments after he screams a predator was already in the tree near them

[@AcidGlow]

👀

[@click8708]

Imagine that :o

[@justice4all368]

Natives are supposed to bravely take pain and torture. It must have revealed itself before giving a brutal death blow from the way he screamed.

[@TheRetroManRandySavage]

But we know those pods only carry down one predator at a time.

[@thektcrew9719]

That's something I always wondered.. because the timing was so off between those moments to me

[@jeffrichards1537]

Billy was my favorite character in predator. He knew what was happening first and felt he was the best option to stop it.

[@davidmoore2308]

Yes i always thought there should have been other films with him playing this type of character could have been a big movie star.

[@dansweda712]

The first time I saw this movie I knew nothing about it, so I was totally unprepared for what was to come, this movie become one of my most watched movie

[@markallen7215]

At this point in the film the predator still hasn’t been scene fully, the audience have only seen the Yautja in its cloaking camouflage or quick snap shots partially covered by trees. If there had been a scene of Billy fighting it on the log then it would had taken away the suspense of the final battle against Dutch and the infamous scene of the Yautia coming out of the water

[@lizard2006]

Still blown away I found your channel... so many memories from GameSpy with Cerpico, and everyone. [GU] is mostly gone but some of us still game.

[@pikkon899]

"Did you ever wonder what happened to Billy in the Predator movie" No. What I always wondered was why did Billy choose to go out the way he did and why did the Predator kill Billy despite Billy wounding himself. In other words, where was the sport in killing Billy when Billy wounded himself by slicing his chest?

[@jamesc2201]

He cuts himself so no matter how the fight turns out, he still would've had the honor of drawing first blood. The predator couldn't take that from him.

[@timoneil7109]

As you know the predator kills everybody. Did you see the predator pull his spine out with his skull still attached kick his body to the ground. And then you see it up close all bloody and then he freezes it or does whatever to clean it off

He was still a threat because he was still holding a machete

Hey AcidGlow, do the Predators know about the Queen Mother? What would happen if they found out about the Queen Mother? Will they go into a hunting frenzy or something?🤔🤨🧐

[@ThelegoLord]

I’m not acid glow but back on the game avp 2010 the ending showed the predators and weyland Yutani going to Xenomorph prime where a sequel would’ve taken place but the company Rebellion lost the license and never made it so the potential of predators hunting queen mother is all gone :(

[@antimatta8714]

I always imagined that the Predator would of sneaked up on billy, crawling while invisible on the underside of bridge/fallen tree trunk that Billy made his final stand on, then surprise attacking him from the back, instantly inpaling Billy with his wrist blades, similar to how he killed Dillon moments earlier.

[@1995RangeRover]

I always thought Billy got it through the back. It looked like the alien was creeping up behind him. Great vid with lots of detail!

I like to think that scream wasnt the Predator killing him but him charging at the Predator either way It was a honorable death for him.

With how quick the predator caught up to Dutch, you could argue he simply pushed Billy off the log to save time so he could keep up. Just a theory I have always had since a kid. It’s not as cool or heroic as going out in a knife fight, but it makes some sense if you look at the time from when you hear the scream to when he catches up to Dutch and Pancho.

[@seb9093]

I thought exactly the same. Billy's final scream has that sort of echo to it, as if he's falling...

[@MKdaBEAZT]

I'm like halfway through now this is a really good video I didn't know half of this s*** truly descriptive

[@crazy8c830]

You are the true MVP

[@Mystyx-Sama]

I always thought that Billy's death was a loss for the film. He was probably one of the most interesting characters in the squad, and when you consider his bloodline and how his people dealt with these damn Space Tarzans before, he gets even cooler. I think I can safely say that if they ever show how that fight played out on that log, it would make an already perfect movie that much more. I always secretly hoped that BIlly somehow made it, but w/e I guess. Instead, I got Danny Glover in L.A. of all places. Danny Glover is a great guy, but I always thought it was so odd seeing him dealing with a Space Tarzan of his own. IF they brought Billy back for Predator 2 - either in Danny's place or a supporting role - I would have been jumping for joy. Keep Gary Busey either way, of course lol

[@lordoffaiyum9727]

Predator 2 was better than 1 in my opinion.

[@Mystyx-Sama]

@@lordoffaiyum9727 The IDEA was very good and fun, no doubt. But Danny Glover as the lead? I just can't wrap my mind around Him chasing a freaking Yautja all over the place. Wesley Snipes instead? F*ckin' hell yes! But not Danny. Though to Danny's credit, he did look like he was really performing there - nothing but sweat every time he was on screen lol. Plus there was no "connection" to the first film; apart from what Gary Busey's character mentions to Danny's mid-film.

[@slipknotfan4204]

@@Mystyx-Sama I think having Danny Glover as the lead was a good decision, it made the movie more realistic and tense. Because he has less advantages being older and less in size than Dutch. So the audience doesn't fully expect he can defeat a Predator. But with Snipes we'd expect him to win due to his youth and physicality, which would make the movie more predictable and less exciting.

[@LeonardTaylor700]

Whatever happened to Billy off screen, we all know…. he didn’t win

[@jeansalomon8225]

Some of this would make for an interesting movie all on its own but I'm glad the final version was more simplified though.

[@AcidGlow]

As I went through the Novel, I was curious to see how it differed. The Hunters physical changes made me appreciate the final design even more. Perhaps other movies could use that design but for me, I like what we got in the end.

@@Tarnished-bn5gq I always wondered why these Predator movies are sticking to the usual 90 minute runtime. I would be up to watching a 2 or 2.5 hour movie of a great hunt full of history about a Hunter. Kinda like what they do with Batman movies now. Alot of things in the script could be added or just replaced to make the move longer and add more to it.

it should have been filmed as a deleted scene but in the 80's they didnt think like that since VHS didnt offer that and it wasnt really well known until the famous Laser Disks.
