[@Colinmchapman]

Gentlemen, that Dutch conversation may have been my favorite screenjunkies moment of all time. Well done.

[@Fawkes2574]

That entire segment had me laughing all the way through it. I just couldn't stop.

[@richardtheconquerer]

The "we'll go with blond" for what Dutch means made me laugh out loud

[@jeremyortego6606]

I need more "Dan, Spencer, and Joe Learn Geography" in every video. Lolz

[@kadosho02]

"Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?" =D

[@godofdun]

I am happy the top comments are about how us Americans barely know where Europe is at this point.

[@TamDNB]

as a european, I am also glad

[@shettlock]

I stumbled into this movie on cable about 20 years ago and it happened to be about 5 mins into the movie. Not knowing that it was an alien made it quite a bit better.

[@cjwrench07]

Blake Connelly I watched it the exact same way. It does make it a ton better, because you don’t know if it’s a monster movie, or a alien movie; until 2/3 of the way through.

[@Some_Guy_In_Ohio]

aises hand Similar here (they were in the jungle when I caught it the first time).

[@DarnOttawaEH]

I had the same experience. Definitely improved movie.

[@Wearywastrel]

Somehow I never knew there was a spaceship scene in the movie. I've missed it every time I've seen the movie. Maybe that's why I've never disliked anything about it.

[@TheMikeharbrw]

That moment when you realise that the predator is an alien and the alien is a predator

[@bradleybernalangulo9937]

My life is a lie we are living in a simulation!!!!!

[@tornadochaser2457]

Michael Brown And vice versa too! MIND = BLOWN!!!!!

[@606danco]

Wade Wilson its true

[@Wearywastrel]

Now we just need to play the "to catch a predator" theme every time either is on screen.

[@killbot_factory]

George: "What is Holland?" Jerry: "It's a country, next to Belgium." "No, that's the Netherlands!" "Holland is the Netherlands." "Then who are the Dutch?!"

[@erikpiron]

and then who are the Flemish?

[@woodside4life]

I could really use an out-of-work porno actor mustache right about now

[@606danco]

En waarom is het weekend niet langer

[@zaprese]

Holland’s a County within The Netherlands.

[@cjwrench07]

JoeysSecretLover Holland’s a myth perpetuated by Big Weed, to give people a place for a Disneyland for weed in Europe.

[@The8347135]

Your geography knowledge (or lack thereof) is incredible

[@seppoleonvervloet132]

I mean they are americans

[@darkhorse989]

Yeah, I feel bad for my country.

[@thomasschwenke7486]

Well, they know where or what an Arkansas is...

[@andreaslaroi8956]

It is rather bad, but they kinda got there eventually. And I get why they're confused about the adjective "dutch". Because it not only refers to the people and language from the Netherlands but also to Germans and Germany in some contexts. E.g. Pennsylvania Dutch (speak German), Dutch Angle (from German Cinema). Also dutch is one of the official languages of Belgium.

[@andreaslaroi8956]

NorthernLight: Yes, that's what I meant. Thanks for adding the etymology. The issue is that all uses of "dutch" come from "Deutsch" or older variants. Only in english (and a few related languages) are the people and the language of the Netherlands called dutch. The dutch call themselves "Nederlanders" and speak "Nederlands". The Germans call them "Niederländer" who speak "Niederländisch". The french call language and people "néerlandais". Only english doesn't care and basically calls them Germans....

[@UtinniUtinni]

Perhaps a better analogy: "It's like if a raptor came back to direct Jurassic World 3." Then cut to the raptor photoshoped as a director saying "Alan"

[@mk6rfc1]

JW3 needs to open with Owen on a plane and dreaming of Blue saying 'Owen!"

[@arceuslordofcreation8824]

I just pictured him with a beret talking into a megaphone "Alan"😂

[@forsaken841]

Transformers 9: written and directed by Megan Fox

[@SimonBuchanNz]

I'd watch that!

[@606danco]

EliasDanger somewhere there is a hollywood producer who reads this and thinks well why not

[@davidhanson4909]

How much worse could that be?

[@khailephd]

I bet it would be more original and unique than any of the Michael bay ones

[@Ladygothii12]

I would go see that.

[@tigrezangel]

These are the shortest 25 min of the day. The Honest Trailers Commentary is always a must of my Tuesday routine. Gooooood job guys!

[@UtinniUtinni]

It's like if Rupert Grint came back to direct a Harry Potter movie.

[@UtinniUtinni]

@GerManticore Rupert also has red hair, so that's another difference.

[@mohammadfletcher5312]

my mind went to him and Emma, too!

[@Phoenix_of_Sun]

But what if after harry potter, rupert grint went on to direct a number of successful films and became an established director. Would it be that weird if he then directed a harry potter movie?

[@raidenxthunder8151]

God damn, Dan is amazing with impressions! You wouldn't think that looking at him too lmao. He just seems so serious but now I'm thinking that in his alone time when it's too quiet he just practices all these impressions. Please tell me it's true!

[@stephenwevans]

Leonard Nimoy directed a couple of Star Trek movies. So did Jonathan Frakes. I've heard William Shatner did one, too, but I must have intentional forgotten about it. I know those being TV shows first may not count as "franchise" material, but first thing to come to mind.

[@mr.clunky783]

Stephen Evans he did it was 5, the worst one.

[@stephenwevans]

@@mr.clunky783 Which is why I "forget" it. ;-)

[@88porpoise]

It is fairly common for stars of longrunning TV shows to direct episodes. So it makes sense that they would also direct some follow-on movies.

[@buff4bcs]

"this is the american school system" hahahahaha

[@michaelwinckowskiakacptmik5618]

Nicholas Holt directing a Mad Max movie

[@chrishart3660]

Apparently I've never seen the very beginning of the Predator movie as I don't recall the spaceship scene, didn't know it was there.

[@chompo14lastname41]

Chris Hart Christ , I thought I was the only one !

[@C4CH3CH3]

yeah same and I've seen the movie several times

[@Wearywastrel]

We should start a club. Wait nevermind, it's too hipster-like

[@judasgoat1035]

Lol same..never saw the cool credits either..probably firing up the bong both times.

[@viktoria7467]

Watching americans trying to deduce european geography always puts a smile on my face :) I would be pretty much the same in american states

[@HeathMartinVO]

JCVD said he wasnt on board for Predator because they wouldnt show his face. i believe it...

[@Tostorito]

He'd materialize, do the splits and nut punch you if you didn't. Not much of a choice.

[@morganward2361]

Joe and Dan are two different parts of my brain fighting for dominance, and Spencer is me not listening to either of them.

[@anuragkashid7438]

Tyrese directing Fast and Furious Franchise ?

[@billix0]

Jonathan Frakes or Leonard Nimoy directed some of the best Star Trek Movies

[@Fawkes2574]

First Contact. The best of the TNG movies.

[@passthebutterrobot2600]

First Contact & The Voyage Home were both good movies IMO. And both were time-travel related.

[@jbearclowater]

Joe's reaction to Over the Top coming out first is amazing

[@grimesy0926]

MacTiernan has said that the studio forced him to put in the spaceship scene at the beginning. He wanted it to begin on the helicopter shot.

[@dodgyb2001]

That sounds like a studio move :P

[@devilmikey00]

They did the same damn stupid insert shot in The Thing 1982. It's pointless and takes all the mystery out of everything.

[@cgh7337]

Not only was that spaceship scene forgettable, but it ruined what could have been a cool twist. Not knowing who/what is hunting Dutch & his men.

[@TheCupOfJoel]

I am so glad Dan mentioned the similarities between Alan Silvestri’s scores for Predator and BttF! I’ve always thought that!

[@SilverBack_Props]

More people should be watching the commentaries on honest trailers . Always amazing . The discussions you guys have resonate with not only me but others . The passion this community has for film and the fandom is great , you guys are awesome!!!

[@Ladykyra101]

10:10...Joe! 🤣 "I do Commando, He Pumps Up a Rambo!"😂😂

[@brentage5000]

On John McTiernan, I actually really like the Pierce Brosnan 'The Thomas Crown Affair', so that plus the three mentioned make him good for me.

[@martymcfly1666]

As a french person, I'm just glad none of you said Jean-Claude Van Damme was french. :)

[@heikeb9864]

Alright, greetings from Europe and I think this little geography interlude was even more entertaining than the rest ;o). Little secret though, at least some of us Europeans don't learn much American geography either, so don't worry. Anyway, in Belgium you have parts where they speak (mainly) French and parts where they speak (mainly) Dutch, both are official languages in Belgium. Historically the French and Dutch part of Belgium are not very fond of each other, which is why I at least have never met someone, who openly admited they spoke both languages fluently, but I believe these days kids learn both languages in school. Don't fact check me on this though. Some parts also speak German, that's only a very small region close to the border though. I am not a huge Arnold fan, but I could listen to Dan's impression of him for hours!

[@potterpotty01]

what about Flemish?

[@Ladykyra101]

Ok, y'all Vin Diesel's voice. Nearly joked on my salad! 😂

[@ajaybathula37]

The "The" threw me off track.

[@koeniewoenie18]

As someone from the Netherlands, it's hilarious to see you stumble if Brussels is in the Netherlands. And thanks Dan that you clarified that you don't have to be from Amsterdam to be Dutch ;)

[@DanielSolis]

Jesus, the Brisk Iced Tea reference killed me. 😂

[@PanAndScanBuddy]

I remember that. Back when I drank Brisk

[@charlottegerken4477]

Yep, me too. As soon as Spencer said he was a punch-drunk Rocky for some reason that very image popped in my head, and then low and behold they said it out loud, lol!! Ahh, the 90s, when claymation was still a popular thing and you had shows like Celebrity Deathmatch!

[@myloxylotoify]

You guys are a riot. Keep on making honest trailers for legendary action movies!

[@mendellee]

omg this geography sidebar is so effing ridiculously hilarious.

[@shirleyzhou4750]

Here for the Arnold impressions. Was not disappointed.

[@g.matthewduke8779]

😂

[@jkmathew4967]

Chris evans directing a future captain America movie 😂

[@dirus3142]

After the Bucky cap movie Evens should direct one were Falcon becomes cap.

[@Gunslinger199]

Geography Talk was hilarious.

[@bsdx110]

As a kid, I totally missed that opening shot of the spaceship, yet it was still obvious to me that it's an alien given the technology being used by the Predator. The mystery is more about what kind of alien it is. Also, didn't the first trailer for Terminator 2 make it seem as if both machines are bad? I remember the Nostalgia Critic talking about that and being surprised in the theater.

[@cgh7337]

It was well known that Arnold would play a good guy in T2 months before it was released. The media couldn't keep their fat mouths shut about it & ruined what could have been one of the all time great reveals.

[@kellybrincks]

Greatest commentary yet

[@jeromeschmidt7805]

YES! Thank you for talking about the score! I seriously want to scream “MARTY!” when watching The Predator. Finally!

[@bordatwork]

"Do you like ham?" "No. I LOVE it."

[@kelwinkwel]

Great work guys loved this movie!! Takes me back !!

[@dennishena1399]

"Hey Siri, where is 'the dutch'...'? LOL!

[@randalgraves6979]

The movie with Ed O’Neil and a Ethan Embry as a brat?

[@dennishena1399]

HAHA...no. If you watch the commentary, you'll see that Joe Starr MEANT to ask Siri..."Where ARE the dutch?" as-in, where are the Dutch geographically located. He accidentally said "Where is..." and it sounded funny.

[@randalgraves6979]

When I asked Siri that. It gave me Dutch bros coffee. Not the movie. 😂

[@GeeVanderplas]

Right here in Belgium... Well, I am anyway.

[@kevinsmarts9953]

Who is the Dutch?

[@cathy6828]

As a (half) Dutchie I am BOILING bc of that discussion.... 😂

[@tylerdickerson579]

Its ned from spider man homecoming doing the "final" reboot of spiderman

[@Fawkes2574]

Those Arnold impressions at the end. OMG LOL! I've never teared so much in a commentary.

[@sanderflop]

Shane Black directing a Predator movie is like Aaron-Taylor Johnson directing an Avengers movie in 2042

[@invaderkendall]

I remember thinking about the end credits when I was a teenager, and seeing it as the characters getting to give the audience an honored send-off. Arnold's is just a snippet because he didn't die. Realized later this falls apart with Anna. Later confirmed to have survived.

[@Ladykyra101]

Ok Dan, ur Arnold is amazing! Buwhaahahaha! 🤣😂😆

[@Evvuful]

International fan here, it's okay it was hilarious to watch you figure out what is dutch and other fun facts 😂

[@patrickpjsullivan]

Joe's reaction to finding out that Predator and Over the Top came out four months apart, amazing.

[@eatingchaos]

Holy crap. I haven't laughed this hard in a while. "Where is the Dutch?" LOL, my God.

[@seppoleonvervloet132]

Jean Claude Van Damme is Belgian but Dutch is spoken in Belgium

[@Patrick-jj5nh]

*Flemish

[@bowlingskoen]

flemish is a absolutely a language, its a variation of Dutch

[@amandinevangrunderbeeck684]

From Belgium and can confirmed. People from the Netherlands speak Dutch, in Belgium we speak french and/or flemish, and flemish is a variation of dutch. It's like the french speaked in Canada, it's a variation of the actual french.

[@LaurenTheorist]

I don't really care about the Honest Trailers for movies I haven't seen, yet I watch every Honest Trailer Commentary no matter what. Lol.

[@randalgraves6979]

Say “ I’m Epic Voice Guy and I created Super-Thunder-Morphin-Bat-Ninja-He-Joe.!!!!!!”

[@bs5506]

Lol'd at the Brisk Tea commercial reference. Haven't been reminded of that in ages xD

[@5stardave]

Jonathan Frakes starred in Generations then directed First Contact.

[@althaz]

Also, the end-credits are *amazing*. So good.

[@willeeuhm]

The image you gave of alternate end credits for Hereditary is a top 10 Honest Commentaries moment

[@Shanegmahon2]

Dan's impressions always have me in stitches!

[@scottyjones6401]

This is one of the most random trains of thoughts episodes but it is so good!! 😂😂😂

[@ERNSTmusik]

"This is the American school system." (Dan Murrell) It sure is. Jesus. 😂

[@binazirissenova9382]

i love Joe so much, this is not fair

[@Starfals]

Americans not knowing geography is less shocking than my friend from Italy not knowing the Roman Empire... :p

[@xnimmerx]

"what is the Dutch" haha Joe is killing me. Spencer reaction to that wording was class :)

[@macattack423]

"Rembrandt was Dutch" Facts with Joe

[@nexttnp3147]

Dan impersonating Arnold's commentaries is fucking HISTERICAL xD

[@daijishinomori9161]

Thought I'd revisit this. I miss these three in commentaries together... 🥺

[@nohandsnoproblem3299]

Duuude! An Honest Trailer for 'Over the Top' please. Great show guys

[@pjfisher82]

I saw this last year in the cinema for the 30th anniversary, I loved this movie and seeing it on the big screen was the best thing ever

[@donovandelaney3171]

I like the original Predator concept design.

[@MrNuzas]

We need a Honest Trailer for Bloodsport, Over the Top, and Total Recall!!

[@MrNuzas]

and Rocky 4

[@olaitanadeniji3630]

I love the impressions 🤣🤣

[@EricCady22]

hilarious commentary today gents

[@Zexion0]

I grew up watching Predator, Alien, Pirahna, all the classics on VHS. This movie still holds up amazingly and is one of all my all time favs.

[@gwenpemberton4893]

Joe throwing his headphones when he hears over the top came out before predator is the funniest thing I've seen all day

[@LunyMilky]

You seriously are asking Siri for this? x'D OMG.. you guys are hilarious x'D

[@Milbrandt]

Hi, I'm Dutch. We know Americans don't know much about us, so don't worry about that. They speak Dutch and French in Belgium so you weren't that far off. Joe's Dutch accent was pretty good actually.

[@007Kiristo]

I've seen Predator many times, and never seen the space ship part at the beginning. Had no idea that was there til seeing this!

[@wesleypacillas]

I love Joe. Throws headphones.

[@josephdanmathis1876]

"Chew anon" was the best. And now it's my new gamertag.

[@VishalSinha25]

Man, whenever Joe says ‘Hey Siri’, the Siri on my phone gets activated and replies with a ‘Yes?’ 🤣

[@jeffknutsen2941]

That brisk joke!! Laughed my ass off!!!

[@davidnavarro5398]

Some actor-then-director of franchises they starred: Stallone directing Rocky's sequels, Eastwood with Dirty Harry's, Anthony Perkins with Psycho III.

[@Insaniac1991]

The Netherlands and Belgium are quite close together, Dutch is also the language spoken in both countries. I'd also like to say that most of us Dutchies don't know most of the states and their capitals in the US so there you go.

[@cathy6828]

"quite close"...? How much closer do you want them?? 😂

[@khrashingphantom9632]

I had no idea that spaceship scene was in this movie before this honest trailer! We had this on VHS for years and my brother recorded this from HBO, but now I'm finding out he missed the intro, because were we have it, it starts roughly with them in the helicopter.

[@cartoonkelly7924]

“Hey Siri. Is this the worst Apple commercial?” Love you guys and your silly voices and your lack of knowledge of Europe. PS: RDJ Iron Heart Movie in 2032.

[@RCAReacts]

Here I am trying to get as many subscribers for my channel as possible and within minutes this channel squanders its entire European audience. Good job guys!

[@sg91nl]

Greetings from your 'disappointed' ;-) Belgian fan

[@colzimo]

"i don't have time to bleed" - best line ever

[@PhilFantastico87]

Sometimes I think you guys are incredibly insightful and obviously intelligent with the humour, arguments and analysis of so many films. Then you ask things like "who are the dutch?"

[@eliptikus]

OMG I suffered a minor cardiac arrest listening to that bit about geography....and it kept going and going xD

[@Molson-xg9hs]

I remember that iced tea commercial!

[@felipehonoriobs]

true story, i first watched predator on tv and caught it after it started, so i didn't see the ship at all, and I was like "Holy Shit! that's like a 'Darth Vader is Luke's dad' spoiled plot twist, must've been crazy on the theaters when ppl saw it"

[@davidisho13]

I could just listen to them do Arnold impressions and quotes for an egregious amount of time.

[@Patrick-jj5nh]

I heard/read recently the spacecraft at the beginning was a studio note, in fact, I think it was added completely without McTiernan's involvement after he was done with the project...

[@wesleypacillas]

Vin directing himself. "Growlier, then you hit him."

[@EveryoneWhoUsesThisTV]

Jonathan Frakes went from Riker maneuvering over chairs to directing Trek movies... So going from actor to a sequel writer/director is a new Riker maneuver...

[@angiee1603]

I remember the Brisk Tea adds and clamation fights.

[@AnimalLover101195]

I died laughing at the geography interlude
