Much respect to Carl Weathers, a classic and iconic American actor with a long littany of memorable roles. He said he had "...more fun filming Predator than any other movie he was in"

Well said. 👍🏼 Loved Carl weathers. Dylan, Apollo, Chubb's. And an inspiration as a bodybuilder and athlete to me.

Kevin Peter Hall, who played the Predator in this film and Predator 2, was 7'3". They wanted someone that would make Arnold feel small and they certainly found the person to do it. The mannerisms the Predator displayed when taking off the helmet was all Kevin. He also played Harry in Harry in the Hendersons.

Aisa was right about Billy. He stopped because he refused to be hunted, he didn't wanna die running. He was gonna stand and fight, even if it's hopeless. That's why the Predator took his scull, too. He was special.

[@stormknightmd]

Billy cut himself to deny the Predator drawing first blood in the fight.

[@popcornthemagictalkingcat7996]

​@stormknightmd that's a cool way to look at it👍 I thought maybe the smell of blood or to draw the Predator in pretending he was wounded. Your point sounds more symbolic and something Billy would do🔥

Asia cracks me up with the nervous laugh and comments, especially when she thinks gorillas (rebel soldiers) means the animal.

[@cameronrazavi5532]

Kevin Peter Hall was hired to play "The Predator" because of his height. And he developed the character of a trophy hunter from another world on his own and the producers and the director loved it. But everyone on set felt really bad for him because he had to run around in the Mexican sweltering jungle in a latex suit. So they gave him a little screen time. He was a true artist and he set the bar for the whole franchise.

[@moomerchant]

I always loved the scene where Bill Duke's character picks up the minigun and just lays down the wall of lead. The others in the team don't even hesitate or question what he's doing, they just join in, even though they can't see anything. Such a great scene.

[@dunbardunelm3924]

Teamwork makes the dreamwork 🥰🤣😂

[@WaywardVet]

Super realistic. We lost a guy in Iraq. Mechanised backup came in to grab up the foot patrol I was on, and once we're in I swapped my combat helmet for a CVC (Combat Vehicle Crewman helmet) which is connected to the radio. I can't see anything, but I hear one guy say he saw movement. He opens up, and within seconds every machine gun and auto cannon was clearing the palm grove in that direction.

[@Psilocybin77]

When the lead went flying from our gunner mounts and an 2 IEDs went off, we had to dismount and microseconds later we cleared the ridge... nooone even questioned we were one team and one fight. QRF was 20 minutes out. This spec op scene was great.

[@benitocuevas5159]

Don't be embarrassed Asia, when I was a kid and on the news there were talking about guerilla warfare in Vietnam, I thought the exact same thing. Gorillas were running around in the jungle carrying guns and fighting the US Army. 🙂

[@genghispecan]

Glad I wasn't the only one. I wasn't even old enough for kindergarten but I remember seeing a CBS Evening News report about fighting in Vietnam and wondering the same thing.

This movie never gets old! It’s one of those films that was so well crafted it’s virtually timeless.

[@swacfan100]

Kevin Petter Hall still to this day is the best Predator to me. His mannerisms etc. He didn't let the makeup and suit carry him, he carried it.

[@RelativelyBest]

You know, I've seen this movie several times but I only just realized: Normally the predators leave humans alone if they're unarmed, but this one was so impressed by Dutch it actually chose to fight him hand to hand in the end.

[@therewasacrookedman5892]

I agree. But to be fair, Billy still had a knife when he challenged the Predator. I’ve always wondered if Billy had not had a knife if the Predator might have gone hand to hand with Billy also.

[@danieldickson8591]

@@therewasacrookedman5892 At that point Billy had not earned the Pred's respect one-on-one as Dutch did.

They are all soldiers, and he saw all them fight with weapons against the camp in the middle of the jungle. So, they are all fair game except the woman.

[@Elerad]

Bill Duke is the heart and soul of the flick. Definitely the best performance here, and I say that as a big fan of Carl Weathers. Funny story: the guy who plays Hawkins is Shane Black, who was an up-and-coming, hotshot screenwriter back when this came out (he's still a pretty big name in Hollywood, though he messed up BAD writing and directing THE PREDATOR in 2018). McTiernan had been having all kinds of script issues while making the movie, so he called Black and asked him to come out and help. Black refused, but he kept getting pestered. Then they said hey, we need someone for a role in this. Want to come out and play a part? Black knew they wanted him to come out for that just so they could corner him and make him work on the script, but he agreed. They flew him out, and he had a ton of fun absolutely refusing to work on any aspect of the script while playing the role of a badass mercenary for which he was obviously rather ill-suited, no matter how much they poked and prodded him. McTiernan was furious, which is why Hawkins gets killed off so quickly.

[@shainewhite2781]

My #1 favorite Arnold Schwarzenegger movie! Facts you didn't know about the movie: 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 lizard insect hybrid. He even wanted to kickbox Arnold but the producers refused. Kevin Peter Hall, RIP, 7'2", was cast as the titular character as he was more of an intimidating opponent for Arnold's character Dutch The PREDATOR suit was done by Oscar Winning VFX artist Stan Winston Studios, and would later return to the franchise for PREDATOR 2 in 1990. The producers hired a bodyguard to protect people from Sonny Landham, RIP, whom played Billy as he was prone to violent outbursts. Landham said in an interview that "We weren't making a movie, it was a survival story for all of us " Half the cast and crew got food poisoning except for Arnold and Director McTiernan whom ate Spaghetti O's and PBJ Sandwiches. Schwarzenegger would later hire his own personal Chef to give the actors the food they needed. It was 110 ° in the shade while it was 42° at night. It rained for 2 weeks making filming even more difficult. The film was a box office success making $100 million dollars ($360 million dollars today) against an $18 million dollar budget. It was nominated for Best Visual Effects but lost to InnerSpace. It's now considered to be one of the best Sci-fi Action movies ever made.

did you know that the studio's insurance company required a body guard for Billy during the shooting of this film? Not to protect Billy, but to protect everyone else as Billy was known for 'losing his temper' in a BIG way.

A few facts about the Predator and his Race: Their whole Race is build upon hunting prey and trophy hunting. They can live up to hundreds of years and the older one of them gets, the more experienced they are and their ranks and respect in their community grow. If you want to know more, there is a Predator 2 and a Alien vs Predator movie where the makers extended the universe and combined those iconic figures :)

Second fun fact our ancestors were more like the predator, they had bigger brains than people now, averaged over 6’ tall or our Neanderthal brothers over 400lbs muscle. They were just as top notch as the predator.

[@salsanchez4177]

I've watched this movie a hundred times and never had this much fun watching it before. This was a blast. By the way, even though English speaking countries say the word "Guerrillas" similar to the word "Gorillas", its actually pronounced [Gehr-ree-ahz]. It means "Little wars" so it denotes small units that operate mostly autonomously in war zones. When the Predator blows himself up, u see the helicopter pilot in the next shot with the helmet on, thats the late Kevin Peter Hall {the Predator, himself)

[@terenasimons2787]

[@leoda_lion4107]

The Predator at the end considered him a worthy adversary, this is why they went hand to hand. Fin fact- not only do we have two future governors in this movie. But Jean Claude Van Damme was originally supposed to play the Predator, but they changed the look, and opted for a bigger dude to play the Predator. The black guy pilot at the end, is the actual Predator without the suit. They wanted someone with the build and size to be able to pick up Arnold at the end.

That night watching Predator and Robocop back to back is one of the greatest days of my childhood. The next day at school I was the coolest kid. :)

[@TheManBehindtheScreen]

The beauty of this movie is how it seamlessly weaves three entirely different styles of film into one - high octane 80s military action into a slasher horror in the jungle into a fight for survival creature feature. No Predator movie since comes close to matching up.

[@LALMCGatorsfan]

BJ reaction to seeing the Predator face is GOAT!!!!

[@JacobSantillan]

I never get tired of this movie. The Yautja (Predator species) is an honor-based culture. Sure, they’ll snipe you like prey, but if their designated prey exhibits substantial martial prowess, one of them on a hunt will drop the mask and their plasma-caster, or other weapons to take them on in hand-to-hand combat. If the Yautja loses, they’re honor-bound to activate their self-destruct device on one of their wrist computers.

[@FireTiger941]

Fun fact - A young upcoming action star by the name of Jean-Claude Van Damme originally got the part to play the Predator but when he realized he would have to be in a costume and make up that took hours to apply he dropped out of the project. He then went on to make his own path in 90s action movies with titles like Bloodsport, Time Cop, Cyborg, and Universal Soldier just to name a few. Keep up the great work Asia and BJ I love seeing first time reactions to iconic movies that set a trend for the times

[@PyahEXEThon]

Glad ya'll enjoyed this! One of the all time classics, but for the pinnacle of 80's Sci-Fi and special effects I highly recommend "John Carpenter's The Thing" (1982), although I imagine it'll make Asia fully retreat into the blanket of safety!

[@recoil53]

John Carpenter never gets enough credit, the way Roger Corman does. He made much better zero budget movies - classics - than Corman. Halloween, The Thing, Big Trouble in Little China, Escape from New York. And he did everything, including writing the music scores. He just doesn't have a bunch of guys who used to work for him that won Oscars. But his filmography is far better.

[@SeenGod]

@@recoil53 Roger Corman was a genius though, he’d make some garbage movie for like $50,000, pay the actors a few thousand, pay somebody like $300 for a cool artistic, stylish VHS cover art, then he’d get a distribution deal for North American video stores for like $100,000 - BOOM! $50k profit with no advertising, and he could easily pump out a dozen movies a year 😂

[@recoil53]

@@SeenGod I didn't say Corman doesn't deserve his recognition - just than John Carpenter deserves far more. Yes he had bigger budgets, but he also had bigger returns. And he made classics. Halloween was made for $300K and made $60M (probably more since). That's 200X.

“Its like a Power Ranger…with a hockey mask on!” I AM SO DEAD! 😂🤣

[@MRKNIGHT]

FYI Bill Duke was famous for being in several Schwarzenegger movies, but he also directed Deep Cover. One of my favorite movies of all time. Laurence Fishburne is the main character and the credit track was the first song Snoop teamed up with Dre.

[@amaniwolf]

This is a classic 80's movie that still stands up today. Glad you both enjoyed it, and great reactions.

[@Chick_N_A_Flick]

I love watching Asia cover her eyes, but not really cover her eyes. It cracks me up every time she does it.

[@blond_slut]

Mommy

[@JODA2023]

"It's like a power ranger!" "Yeah, with a hockey mask on!" LMAO...loved the color commentary on this one, guys! You are so entertaining!

[@NowLedgeOutpost]

Asia has such good sense of hearing, she really feels like the music is "communicating" somethin'.

[@AscendHumanity]

24:14 killed me I’m dead. I’ve never heard anyone call the predator that before 😂

[@ReelinwithAsiaandBJ]

😂

[@pattyvanberkom4345]

Such a good classic action movie, scared me too when I first saw this one. Gotta love Arnold’s one liners in his movies. Get to the choppa!! 😂

[@KevinMendoza-mn9hf]

The mini gun scene on a bose 321 set up sounds amazing. The cops get called from time to time.lmao

[@McAwesomePants]

8:05 Asia frozen in alarm and tension while BJ is just vibin is the greatest lol. "You need to stop being a little scary berry." "You need to leave me alone."

[@mikewarker4445]

BJ your giving Asia a run for her money on this one, I’m loving it

[@Beehindblueyes]

You two are hysterical! I love watching movies with you two!

[@davidr1050]

The Predator is a species called the "Yautja" .. A warrior race who have a code of honor. They only fight or kill that which is dangerous because there isn't any honor or sport in fighting anything weak..

[@cameronrazavi5532]

Fun fact. The black gentleman piloting the helicopter at the very end of the film is Kevin Peter Hall.

[@commsense1979]

Oh man I can't wait to see y'alls reaction to this. Seeing this alert just lifted my spirits. It's been a rough day!

[@patricialdv5220]

Omg Asia you made me laugh so hard!!! You both made me feel like it was my first time watching it. I really enjoyed Predator II, I think you would as well, really fun!

[@ReelinwithAsiaandBJ]

Aye, Thanks Patricia 🤭 we had fun, but wow 🫣 that movie!

[@67lionsoflisbon37]

The thing that unites the world is not laughter nor music. It's watching scary movies from between your fingers or behind your blanky! Again, your reaction brings me back to watching this film in the cinema. Great stuff. Now Predator 2. And Arachnophobia.

[@markpaprocki8315]

Watching scary movies with you two is the absolute best.

[@joep5146]

A 1980's classic that people will be enjoying 100 years from now. Your reaction to this movie had me laughing and having so much fun. I've seen it 50 times. GET TO THE CHOPPA!!!!!

[@DocFunkenstein]

You know, I wonder if Billy (the Native American character) is suspicious because of the stories he's heard from his ancestral tribe, which could have been the same one from Prey.

[@johnreed3405]

Fun fact: the black helicopter pilot is Kevin Peter Hall who also plays The Predator. Kevin Peter Hall was one hell of an actor. He died too soon at the age of 35. He will be missed.

[@mmsizzlak]

You guys are LITERALLY the ONLY reactors who understood that during the part where they were all shooting into the jungle, that they weren't just randomly shooting but were trying to clear everything within their view in hopes of killing whatever took off... Most people in general don't ever get that's what they were doing... It was the same as dropping a big bomb in an area in order to try to eliminate whatever was there and not necessarily trying to be pinpoint accurate

[@ReelinwithAsiaandBJ]

Thanks MM!!!

[@mikewarker4445]

This is by far the best reaction I’ve seen. I’m laughing so hard , my dogs lookin at me like I’m crazy

[@ReelinwithAsiaandBJ]

😂 No man! Too funny, Thanks ❤️🍿

[@michellelane6527]

I woke mine up from sleeping laughing so hard

[@edaniels240]

I remember seeing that movie in theaters when it came out that Summer 87 and the moment they showed what the Predator aka the Yautja look like, alot of us were yelling: IT'S AN ALIEN RASTAFARIAN!!!

[@FerretJohn]

You might recognize Blaine, the guy with the Big Gun, he's Jesse "The Body" Ventura, former pro wrestler and later Governor of Minnesota, he's also a former Navy SEAL who served in Vietnam, besides acting here he also provided technical assistance in military procedures. Hawkins, the first guy killed, was Shane Black, more well known as a writer and director, having written and directed Iron Man 3 and was the writer for Lethal Weapon 1 and 2, among others. Here he also served as a punch-up writer, backing up Predators main writer who was still new to the job.

[@eldronjaedike9374]

Finally caught a live reaction, you two get so immersed it's a joy to watch your reactions. Actor: "I saw it." Asia - ' What did you See?' BJ - 'I know where he's goin - he's about to go to heaven!'

[@veeyazzie3957]

Definitely recommend PREDATOR 2, although Arnold Schwarzenegger is not in the movie. Danny Glover is the next lead character & he's not to old for this $hit Lol, PREDATOR 2 is still awesome 👌 great cast & new setting. And the PREDATOR shot Arnold's gun in the movie, I always thought it was because of Arnold's muscles too that his arm didn't get blown off Lol Great reactions from you guys 👍
