Predator (1987) Movie Reaction [ First Time Watching ]

[@astranoel895]

How refreshing to watch a reaction to this with ppl who can interpret and understand and pay attention to details! Keep up your great work!

[@namelessjedi2242]

I was thinking the same. I’ve seen some reactors who just don’t pick up on what’s happening with the behavior of the Predator or even the team.

[@farimir120]

Yet they couldn’t remember Carl weathers played Apollo creed after 4 movies.

[@vonkroenen]

Fun fact: the helicopter pilot at the end wearing the sunglasses is Kevin Peter Hall, the actor behind the Predator suit.

[@williammatthews693]

And Harry from "Harry and the Hendersons"!

whaaat?? man now i see the movie with different eyes! thank you for the heads up

[@LA_HA]

RIP Kevin Peter Hall. A great character actor

[@nEthing4Her]

WHAAAA?????

[@kellymoses8566]

He was 7 foot 3 inches or 221cm tall and died in 1991 from HIV from a blood transfusion during surgery for injuries he sustained in a car accident.

[@TheEMFB]

The build up to Arnold's war cry is legendary in this film.

[@BigBoss-zi5ss]

It's crazy how I've heard that played at pro hockey arenas during the start of overtime..I think the Arizona coyotes do it

[@marks7197]

Without doubt the best Predator reaction I've watched. It's so refreshing to watch people paying attention and understanding the story, rather than playing up for the camera and talking over the plot. Really enjoyed your previous videos too but a new subscriber as of tonight.

[@nissy9220]

Took The words right out of my iPhone keyboard

[@shainewhite2781]

Watched this last night and it's still holds up! Fun Fact: 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 giant mutated lizard insect hybrid. He even wanted to kickbox Arnold but the producers refused. Kevin Peter Hall, 7'2" was cast instead respectively, as he was more of an intimidating opponent for Arnold's character Dutch. Half the cast and crew got food poisoning except for Arnold and Director McTiernan whom ate Spaghetti O's and PBJ Sandwiches. Sonny Landham RIP whom played Billy, hired a bodyguard to protect people from him as he was prone to violent outbursts. He even said in an interview that, "We weren't making a movie, this was a survival story for all of us." It rained for 2 weeks, making filming more difficult. It was 110 degrees in the shade while it was 42 degrees at night.

[@samuraiwarriorsunite]

Kevin also played Harry in Harry and the Hendersons as well, and by all accounts, he truly was a gentle giant, RIP.

[@jeremybr2020]

@@samuraiwarriorsunite Kevin Peter Hall was also the black helicopter pilot you see at the end of this movie.

[@rdramos13]

Van Damme was fired, released, or let go because he was complaining about the stunts that was required while wearing very top heavy Predator suit. He was also struggling with hydration. The movie people also used a stunt person after Van Damme was gone. Who then hurt himself doing one of the stunts while wearing the suit. After that, they got Kevin Peter Hall and redesigned the suit.

[@drlee2]

“The soundtrack…can be for a horror movie.” Exactly!

[@robertschlemmer6032]

You guys were spot on with how predators hunt. An easy kill is just skinned, but if you put up a good fight, or face one in hand to hand combat, they will take your skull as a trophy.

[@BigBoss-zi5ss]

And if he loses he is taking everything with him..lol Predator is ruthless

[@22Tesla]

@@BigBoss-zi5ss Eh depends. This Predator just blew himself up, in the second movie, the Predators gave the human one of their trophies and left on peaceful terms. As peaceful as it can get that is

[@BigBoss-zi5ss]

@@22Tesla in the second one he wanted to self destruct in battle but Harrigan cut the arm..and the Predators at the end were not in battle they respected Harrigan for the victory

[@22Tesla]

@@BigBoss-zi5ss Hmm true. I've forgotten much of the details of that movie sadly

[@BigBoss-zi5ss]

@@22Tesla I like part 2..it's gets its share of hate but also has a following. It was a pretty good sequel imo..at that time everyone wanted Arnold back but Danny Glover did a good job and showing the Predator in a city environment was cool.

[@FilterHQ]

I think you guys are the only ones who realized the Predator was checking Dutch's skull when he looks closely at it. Great reaction :)

[@digi_edits]

Yeah, he was like "This is it?, no special bone structure or tech gadgets within this skin? This is worthy"

[@BigBoss-zi5ss]

Yup that's why I like them cause you can see they are " really" watching the movie not screwing around like Bennet

[@jamessullivan4391]

Literally everyone I know who saw the movie picked up on this. It is slightly more than obvious.

[@FilterHQ]

@@jamessullivan4391 Most reactors are like 'why is he doing that'? , even though they show the Predator collecting skulls earlier.

[@papalaz4444244]

The guy playing the Predator was 7' 2" (2.18m) tall.

[@LilSpookyyy]

“The demon who makes trophies of men”. Chills absolute chills

[@victorramsey5575]

The actor who played the Predator was Kevin Peter Hall. He was also the black chopper pilot at the end. He stood over 7 feet tall and was a super nice guy. Kevin Peter Hall was in a bad car crash in 1991 in Los Angeles. He passed away during surgery from contaminated blood at the hospital. He also played Harry in Harry And The Hendersons. He said once in an interview that he like to bring a sense of personality to the creatures he portrayed. A true artist. RIP Kevin Peter Hall

[@papalaz4444244]

I think you will LOVE "Conan the Barbarian" 1982 starring Arnie in his first big film. It has the fantasy elements and the big sword fights (like Braveheart)

[@Dystopia1111]

And also that incredible Basil Polidouris soundtrack.

[@MJoy4Fun]

ohhh nice one, it could get here sooner than u think

[@kellymoses8566]

It is actually a really trippy movie.

[@dvdknight1]

My favorite movie from 1987, it was really ahead of its time, so many surprises in this film. I love your reactions, you are a great couple!

[@edgarcia4794]

Billy cut himself to deny the Predator "First blood." Billy knew he was going to lose he just didn't want to die running.

[@carloszestyboy2901]

The funniest part is if you compare the feats of Predators in other lore, this predator was holding back big time in hand to hand. I think it was merely toying with him. Predators in the comics can tear through metal with their bare hands and tear a human head off with one hand.

[@paulcurlin2789]

Predator was a Dark Horse/DC comic series. You can find out a lot about the Predator's race and history and their hunting rituals. Great series♥

[@GrouchyMarx]

You two need to watch Predator 2, too. And it takes place in a crazier jungle than this one! I enjoy all your movie reactions _very_ much.

[@lordstarkes2669]

The actor that played Billie "There's something out there." Was so violent and unpredictable on set they had to hire body guards to protect other people from him. To keep the actor in line so he didn't attack other actors or crew.

[@jasnycal]

You guys have been on fire with your movie selections.

[@gonsumir]

Landed on this quick! Happy Saturday from the USA! Let's just enjoy our weekend as one people. Thumbs up already. Thank you both.

[@ridleysaria]

“The hunter has become…..” “…. the hunted!” Ok that was too cute. You guys are adorable.

[@Eisenhorne77]

Predator 2 is the next one then Aliens vs Predators and then finally the movie Predators. The Predator race is very honorable, they are individual hunters, and the young Predators will have to go to a place like Earth or another "hunting ground" to earn their warrior status among the Predator civilization. They are a warrior hunter species.

[@anvec6145]

this one and Predator 2 are the good movies in the franchise, enjoy😉👍 Alien Theory is a great channel for more information about Predator and Alien Lore. Lots of books/comics

[@leeyaferguson9019]

Billy is native American. He is marking himself for battle, a warrior mark.

[@NocturnEternal]

Fact #1: When the Yautja, official Predator fan name for the species, leave skinned victims, it’s designated to scare away others and mark its territory. After that, any quarry is fair game. Fact #2: Mud does actually conceal body heat. But it only last for so long. Fact #3: The late Kevin Peter Hall stood taller at around 7’2. Like your reactions. Please watch the criminally underrated Predator 2. If you are really intrigued with the Yautja, check out another KZbin channel called Schizofenik.

[@chiefsteps-in-poo8447]

OK, if the Predator skinned his victims to mark his territory and scare away others, since he kills people I would think he's using those bodies as bait to lure other trophies in. A hunter doesn't push his prey away, he draws them closer to him. I've done a little deer hunting in my time and you don't put buck urine in the rut (mating season) leading deer away from your stand. You put it around his scrape (kinda like a calling card for does) to lure bucks around that area. And when mating season is over your best trick to use is a food plot (a piece of land with deers favorite food on it, corn, rye grass, etc.). I really could go on for hours about this but I think I got my point across. Unless you know more than me about tricks hunters use to draw in what they're hunting. Maybe a comic book written by someone who's never been hunting therefore knows absolutely nothing about what he's doing. Not trying to pick a fight with you, just sharing some knowledge.

[@geoffreycannon2197]

LoreRunner did an absolutely fascinating in-depth analysis of the production and storytelling of this movie. Seriously increased my appreciation of this movie.

[@seanmitchy]

Classic 80s action . So good .

[@morbidsasquatch9640]

18:02 This symbolizes supernatural defense against serious harm true Indian warrior style. Because Billy throughout the movie thinks that the predator is a supernatural entity.

[@chiefsteps-in-poo8447]

1- I love the way you say pred-A-tor. 2- Billy, the Indian tracker, cut his chest because some tribes cut themselves so the enemy wouldn't be able to draw first blood. That's about the only things you guys didn't understand in this movie. I especially liked how you knew at the end why the Predator took off all of his weapons to fight Arnold barehanded. You won't believe how many Americans I had to explain this movie to. Funny how 2 people NOT born in this country understand an American movie better than some Americans do.

[@MerryBerry22]

I love your reactions! Your joy and excitement, but also how you pay attention to the details and figure things out. There have been many sequels but I like Predators from 2010 that references this movie, and has a stellar cast.

[@Stick-a-fork-in-Gmorks-tort]

Dutch: Apollo, I mean Dillon, you son of a b*tch! **Muscle handshake**

[@Brookhouse3041]

Amazing reaction as usual. You pick on small details so quickly. It’s literally taken me several million rewatches to pick up on the same stuff and that’s why I believe you guys are just amazing

[@penoyer79]

they filmed this in mexico. the cast and crew stayed at hotels that had special water filters in the hotel so they could all safely drink the water. well, the filters at one of the hotels broke down and they didn't know it and made the cast and a lot of the crew sick with a bad case of traveler's diarrhea. as you can imagine... this created a humorous situation on set... 6 badass, jacked out, alpha males holding their britches as they scurry off to the bathrooms in between takes of high octane, testosterone fueled action sequences.

[@vickiewilson3997]

Taking a break between dishes and laundry and enjoyed your reactions so much. I love the way you interact as you figure out the plot. 🥰

Predator has so many parts, so many remakes and crossovers.

Jessie Ventura was the guy that first held the 50 caliber gun. He was a former United States Navy Seal. A real badass. He was the only one that didn't get sick or fatigued during the making of the movie.

One of the most sought out Alan Silvestri scores back in the day. Thanks to Varese Sarabande Records and Intrada Records for the much desired U.S. releases. His score to "Predator 2"(which is my favorite Silvestri film score) is fantastic, the percussions are INSANE.

[@pigpiggypigbigpig681]

Red Letter Media called this a horror film disguised as every dad’s favorite action flick.

[@keitholsen8787]

The camouflage and shoulder cannon are tools, not really cowardice. Not any difference than a deer hunter using camouflage and a bow. The lower trophies are just skinned, the more worthy ones are taken and displayed in their trophy room (you see one in Predator 2). The more dangerous the kill, the greater the honor, and greater prestige in their society as a hunter.

[@jacobjohnson2637]

The Black guy in the helicopter at the end of the movie rescuing Arnold is the guy who played the Predator. RIP Kevin Peter Hall. He stood 7'2

GO-ON !!! Over and over again !! Our guys from the unit were laughing their fannies off,but the 3 E-7s were quiet and stoic. As we were leaving the snack-tent,suddenly the quiet trio started repeating the phrase back to us,while laughing themselves silly !!! Then everyone chimed in-GET TO THE CHOPPER !!! GO-ON !!!
