[@nickperez106]

Billy said earlier on in the movie “We’re all going to die” because he knew that their fate was inevitable. He knows what the mindset of a hunter is because he was one, and that it would not stop until they were all dead 1 by 1. Him stopping to face the Predator was him taking is fate into his own hands and saying I know I’m going to die but I’d rather die on my terms fighting face to face instead of running away which is why he threw his gun away. A very noble death which is why the predator took his skull as a trophy and not anybody else’s.

[@danielwong5378]

I always thought it was the charge. According to the Aliens vs Predator game, the plasma gun needs to be charged every once in a while. The less charge, the weaker it is.

he took them all the skull with the hole in the head I think is from the guy that was hit by the log

Billy didn't want to die a coward so he made his last stand

[@williamcorey4700]

And that's why his skull was worthy of a trophy. Unlike the last movie which retconned everything

[@kratosGOW]

“Miniguns” are so named because their size is relatively small compared with the size of the weapon upon which they were based: the Gatling guns.

[@ididthisonpulpous6526]

Well that is partially true. The "Gatling Gun" was from the 19th century. The M61 Vulcan Cannon is the "full sized" version of what the "mini" version the mini-gun is. The mini-gun was designed as a lighter option of the M61 for mounting on helicopters and other gunships for anti-personnel use.

The Mini is not however a man-portable weapon, the weapon itself weighs about 300 lbs. and that's not including the roughly 10,000 rounds of 7.62 ammo, the Predator gun (and it's younger brother from Predators) was strictly a Hollywood mock-up

[@ididthisonpulpous6526]

[@LenOliver-yz6os]

Thank you!!!! it was hard to watch this movie reaction because she sucks bad at it he was pretty cool tho like him.

[@SolidSnake8295]

Fun fact: Jean-Claude Van Damme was originally the Predator and the costume looked more like a big bug, but he quit during filming because it was too hot in the suit. They then went back to the drawing board and redesigned it. I think it’s safe to say it worked out for the best.

[@maximillianosaben]

That whole production has been documented as being really lousy for the cast and crew. Most of the cast got really sick, and the weather conditions were consistently miserable to endure.

[@Schopenhauer69]

I thought it was because Van Damme, who's 5.6, wasn't intimidating enough as the Predator, considering the others were way over 6 feet.

[@chiefsteps-in-poo8447]

JCVD also walked off the project because he couldn't show off his karate skills.

[@clownzzz4837]

I seem to recall Jean-Claude getting his butt beat in a actual fight (in a stripper bar no less). Lost most of his cred after that.

[@Ofnir_Grabacr_]

When the Predator “shoots” Arnold shortly after Billy’s death, he doesn’t actually hit Arnold. He misses Arnold and hits his gun, if you watch carefully the gun splintered in his arms. The effects made it look like he hit Arnold in the shoulder similar to Dillon, but he just shot his gun.

[@nickperez106]

[@chiefsteps-in-poo8447]

Also, I've read on here that Mac was shot in the head at point blank range and it didn't demolish his skull, what's up with that? Well, don't you think with all that technology the Predator wouldn't be able to set the level of power on his gun? And when he is polishing his skulls, he picks up, what I believe is Macs, with a hole in its forehead.

[@chiefsteps-in-poo8447]

@SUGAR MAN True. I don't know whether feel sorry for this "book smart but no common sense" generation or shrug them off and tell them to shut up and stay out of my way.

There are 7 people in this group. 2 white, 2 black, 2 Hispanic, and 1 native American. They all die except 2 of them. So in what world is it racist.

[@vc6444]

This movie is a masterpiece in mixing up genres. Its an 80s horror film disguised as an action film. It's like Jason hunting teenagers but instead its the predator hunting the most manliest men on earth.

[@waitstill7091]

This is especially true when you see the Predator drop into the water, and continue his pursuit after Arnold. The movie began with Arnold being the alpha male. He later becomes a powerless victim. The role reversal here is stunning.

[@earthwormjim3269]

Re: The “mini-gun” name. It’s called “mini” because that gun is not designed to be carried by hand but only mounted onto helicopters and that that model is a smaller model of a much bigger one. Again, that people use them by hand in movies is pure fiction as carrying the ammunition would be impossibly heavy and cumbersome and that it requires an external power source which also would have to be carried; hence why they are only mounted on helicopters (and maybe other vehicles I am not aware of)

And the climax is the Hunted becoming the Hunter and vice versa, when Arny reverse the roles, of him laying traps and becoming invisible for its adversary, taking him by surprise. Its once again a terrific job By John McTiernan, who is also the director of Die Hard and Hunt for Red October.

[@adriel88_]

I also think it has a Jaws vibe but in the jungle setting like those drums 🪘 always playing you know the Predator is coming much like the classic jaws theme when you know the shark is coming 😇😇🙂 it also has paranoia and claustrophobic feel to it 😇😇😌😌

[@Borshigi]

Excellent conclusion.

[@JohnSmith-qn3ob]

The line was: Dillon: I never knew how much I missed this, Dutch. Dutch: You never were that smart.

[@wolf_9626]

24:00 Let me explain, the reason why Arnold's wound was lesser from the plasma cannon compared to other people whose body parts were blown off, is because the predators plasma cannon has a charging mechanism. The more it charges its shot, the more power it has and the more damage it will inflict. So the predator only fired off a weak, uncharged shot on Arnold so that his wound is lesser.

[@pierreblomberg1]

No it hits the Gun

Achara is a classic example of when the "Progressive Attitude" goes far enough that it basically reverses the same Racism/Sexism problems. Kinda infuriating to watch at times.

[@sampritmukhopadhyay3002]

Like how can someone enjoy or appreciate something with that kind of though process. It's almost as if her mind was set up to spot things like "ethnic death" or "oh look there is a woman". People nowadays have somehow managed to make a medium of entertainment meant as a recluse into something that is political. And i am not even white or from America, i think they overthink these things way too much

"Ohh, hi there!" Haha I love Achara. It would be awesome to watch movies she hasn't seen with her.

[@lewisner]

Wouldn't it.

[@rbrtck]

Some feel that the violence near the beginning was gratuitous because it was for a subplot that went nowhere and had nothing to do with the Predator, but I think the subplot was to throw the audience off in order to surprise us later as well as to get us invested in the characters before they are hunted, and the ultra-violence we were shown was to establish the characters as bad-asses among men, which provides a contrast with how they're mercilessly picked off one by one by the Predator. The latter makes the Predator seem even more impressively scary, of course. He was successfully hunting some of the world's greatest bad-asses, not just a bunch of random people.

[@lewisner]

There was quite a backlash in the 80s against the high body count in Schwarzenegger and Stallone movies and they were starting to dial it back in this movie.

[@CT2507]

The violence at the camp was their main mission and the reason for them being in that jungle in the first place, and also set the winning team up for being worthy adversaries for the predator to hunt! It fits well with the entire story of the movie.

[@rbrtck]

@@CT2507 Of course, the setup was necessary, but I recall the question being why was that whole subplot was such a big deal, meriting such a big action scene, political drama, and so much thought on the part of both the characters and audience, when it had nothing to do with the real plot of the movie? And the answer is that we not only got to see just how bad-ass the future victims were, but we were also distracted and thereby felt blindsided like the characters did. The whole alien trophy hunter thing thereby comes even more out of left field and is a shock. At least that's why I think *such* a big deal was made out of an otherwise abandoned, pointless subplot.

[@CT2507]

@@rbrtck I never found that subplot to be of much significance. So i don't really get what this whole talk is about. It felt to me like just another mission of which they had done hundreds before.

[@rbrtck]

@@CT2507 I just meant it's played as though it were important, and that whole scene of ultraviolence ate up a bunch of the budget as well as a fair amount of time. Some people think it's a little much for a subplot that goes nowhere, and I think there was a reason for it being that way. If you think it was nothing to begin with, then OK, but others wonder why, to them, it seems so involved and over the top for nothing.

[@edaniels240]

I love it when he started smiling as soon as Arnold yelled DO IT NOW!

[@brianmartin6486]

" You never were that smart " was the line in the chopper when carl weathers says " i missed this "

[@Sherman1fan]

I thought Billy didn't want to be picked off or hunted down (like an animal). He told the predator to come get him, he's not afraid the be killed, rather to be killed fighting face to face. Predator fought Arnold because he was a formidable opponent and his skull would make a great trophy. How about The Last Starfighter next.

[@snooks5607]

36:00 I liked that the effects people created something special for the self-destruct instead of using the regular gasoline fireball, since where would the Predator even have been carrying enough explosive material for that big of a blast. it makes sense that it's a sci-fi bomb that pulls energy from it's surroundings or something.

[@adriel88_]

Never notice that 😮😮

[@tonysoto8949]

Disagree with the lady in that these characters were not your typical army action types. Each character brought something new and were cast well. She also said some of the movie looked dated in comparison today’s special effects, this movie looks better than most of today’s action movies. Take a look at Loki’s TV show, some of the scenes look like bad green screen shots. Anyway classic movie and one of the Best Arnold performances.

[@rememberJAW]

From what I remember, Billy knew he couldn’t beat the Predator with guns, so he bet on knife to knife combat, since the Predator honors equal fights, he won’t bring a gun to a knife fight. So to even the odds, he went for the knife, but lost still…

[@davidbennett1357]

the 'shells' at 28:05 are actualy 40 mm low velocity grenades, probably HE or HEDP based on the shape.....

[@TombstoneActual42]

If you look closely at Dutch getting shot, the blast hits his weapon, not his arm. The blast burns his skin though that's why it didn't get torn off.

[@lostny76]

mini- +‎ gun, so-called because General Electric designers scaled-down the rotating-barrel 20 mm M61 Vulcan cannon for 7.62×51mm ammunition (in order to create a weapon with a higher and more reliable rate of fire). So it is the smaller ( mini version ) of a way bigger gun.

I'm definitely biased, but I'd highly recommend watching Predator 2 with her as well. It's definitely a different movie, as you said, but even though the first one is better as a film I still find the sequel a much more fun and rewatchable movie.

[@edaniels240]

Both movies featuring 2 TF icons. Optimus Prime himself Peter Cullen voicing the 1st Predator and Snarl himself Hal Rayle voicing the 2nd one

Sonny Landham, who played Billy, was real life bad ass. He had bodyguards, not to protect him from others, but to protect others from him.

[@allovett6246]

The helicopter pilot at the end is Kevin Peter Hall. Kevin was also the actor as the Predator.

[@Khomuna]

5:12 it's called a minigun because it was conceived as a more portable version of the 20mm M61 Vulcan gatling gun used in fighter jets, so since this one fires 7.62mm rounds it is "mini" in comparison with the original design.

[@imrekalman9044]

It would be a bit challenging to walk around with a 250 lb (+ ammo and stuff) M61, even for a bulky guy like Ventura. Juuust a bit.

[@Khomuna]

@@imrekalman9044 There are people who actually tried to fire a minigun from the hip, just for the lolz, but the recoil is so strong it can't be managed, pushes people back and 95% of the burst doesn't hit the target. It's even unfeasible to carry, even for a strong guy, in addition to the gun itself and the ammo box/belt you also need a big ass battery because the gun uses an electric motor for firing.

[@imrekalman9044]

@@Khomuna Which is why on the set of Terminator 2 Arnold was asked to carry it around whenever it had to be moved, as he could do it alone. And in both movies the rate of fire was greatly reduced to make the recoil even with blanks manageable.

[@shawnsmith2610]

With the laugh he was mimicking Billy.

[@drlee2]

So the reason I think the Predator wasn't able to get a better shot on Dutch in the "get to the choppa" scene is because Dutch was unloading nonstop fire on him with his mini-gun, basically causing it to be distracted enough that it couldn't get off a clean shot. It was just able to clip Dutch, but that's all. It's hard to have perfect aim when a nonstop barrage of bullets are being fired at it. EDIT: Spot on about the acting. I really undervalued how good this film was growing up and dismissed it as another cheesy 80s action flick, but the acting is extremely convincing and lived in as well as the film has as strong horror atmosphere.

Without knowing what Achara hasnt seen it will be difficult to recommend, but Robocop is a damn good one if she hasnt seen that, Predator 2 might not be as well praised as the first but its still a good movie, it adds a bit more of the Predator lore and it has Bill Paxton in it which is always a plus.

[@TheRodentSama]

Greatest action sci-fi horror movie of all time next to RoboCop, released the same year too :D Trivia... - Sonny Landham (Billy)... had to have a bodyguard on set at all times. Not to protect himself though. To protect others from him. Considering he was surrounded by guys who were all over 20 stones, and athletes, his antics were legendary. His form of play fighting was actually just fighting. His bodyguard was apparently 3 times the size of Arnie and was ex-military :D - Predator's good tech first aid kit, was a real veterinary kit :D - Greatest handshake in history - Jean-Claude Van Damme was the original Predator... but he acted like a diva, moaned that he was the biggest star in the film even though he was unknown at the time, then moaned about not having his face seen on camera... then he caused a stuntman to get injured because he had a diva-tantrum, and then got fired. They then replaced him with Kevin Peter Hall, redesigned the Predator, and then also cast KPH as the chopper pilot at the end of the film so his face could be seen on camera as a middle finger to JCVD. The casting of Shane Black was so McTiernan could have an emergency writer on set when something didn't work.
