I would like to see a prequel to the first movie that deals with Hopper, or a sequel to 2 with Harrigan meeting Garber again, and encountering another predator

[@HebrewHakaishin]

Predator 1 is the original but it's not as gory as predator 2. So they are both needed to tell the predators story

[@damienkellem8619]

To my understanding a movie can get a X rating for violence if it is extreme enough. Cobra (1986) was supposed to but was edited heavily. That’s why their is continuation issues, but still turned out good. Raw scenes of butchering was the reason.

[@PrinceRawD]

Studios execs thought the Alien skull wouldn't fit in the movie? I was in the theater for Predator 2. The audience lost their minds. They cheered when they saw it.

[@AcidGlow]

Yeah the way I see it. Is sometimes we get films based on a few board members that decide what "they like" when it might not be what the majority of the fans want to see.

PREDATOR 2 is one of the most underrated movies & sequels of all time!!!! I grew up watching & loving both Predator films but i actually like Predator 2 best

[@omegarugal9283]

predator 2 is one if my favorite movies, i didnt know about these scenes

[@papadragon7859]

Dutch is the most Missed Opportunity character of all time, in my opinion.

[@CoolGobyFish]

No, I am glad they moved past Arnold. The predator is the star

[@markgarcia72]

I agree with this sentiment. The character of Dutch and even his team would have been a great concept for prequels although with nothing to do with predator.

[@artkarounos816]

I agree

[@ogeidnomar4601]

Yes a prequel or 2 would have been interesting. Like you said no Predator.

[@Thefoxygamer1]

They actually gave him more of a backstory with the release of the Dutch tapes in the new Predator game that's considered canon.

[@mccbuddytaras6637]

so much rich lore and content in comics and games that is wasted when hollywood makes a predator movie. more often than not they cut the parts that would have made it good.

[@AcidGlow]

Yeah it's kinda weird when the studio gets in the way and says "we don't like that.. don't do this.. just do what we want".. Like.. just let the writer, producer, art team and director do what they need to do. Creative freedom is how a movie can get better.

[@mitchmurda8749]

[@michaelbuick6995]

There was a graphic novel short titled "Predator: 1718" showing the back story on how the clan leader came into possession of the flintlock pistol. It's well worth checking out.

[@kaaillautaroalarconnavarro7768]

if you watch the whole saga of predator movies.. the honour code is absolutely well represented. in the first movie, jungle hunter kills every member of the human military group , from the weakest to the strongest member, and kill the ones that use fire weapons as a primary weapon, without honor ( in cold blood and plus camouflage). at the same time, yautjas doesnt kill children , old people, or woman..in the first movie jungle hunter never attacks the girl, in the second he doesnt kill leona ( she was pregnant), and in "the predator", fugitive and the female biologyst had an encounter..she was naked and unarmed, and the beast literally ignored. also, city hunter, in predator 2, kills an entire squad of gangsters that practice dark magic ( vodoo), and aberrations with females.

[@warriorsfs]

Actually that's incorrect. Yautjas absolutely do kill armed women. Go back and watch Predator 2, the slaughter in the subway train. Remeber that old lady with a gun? When the predator is shown killing the armed passengers in his vision, there is a close up of the old lady's face with the predators hands grabbing her. Also in the comics and the novel. Predators are shown killing women that are armed. In the Batman vs Predator comic series 1 the predator that Bruce Wayne fights kills a female detective working with Commissioner Gordon.

[@wcw2793]

[@j-asher]

Wish an N-17 cut survived 😪 I like the story as it is, having a partnership with Dutch and Mike would've probably lead to one of them dying, which wouldve been disappointing. I mainly wanted to see the intended gore put back in, not for gore sake, but so scenes like Keys' death can make sense lol

[@chelseagrinfan1]

id love to see the predator rip out Jerry(Bill Paxton) spine out as Harrigan walks round the corner in the train tunnel but then again im a gore fiend xD

"The Predator could show up in a different time period like the Old West. It could wind up on other planets. The possibilities are pretty limitless." And yet in almost all future Predator movies, it takes place in modern-day Earth. Predators taking place on a very Earth-like jungle world and not even going into the past until Prey.

[@Thunderchild-gz4gc]

And that was weak

[@stevegundaker]

Awesome video as always.

[@AcidGlow]

thank you

[@Narrate918]

So Arnold was going to play Keyes’ role more or less but still be Dutch. Also, I’m calling BS that the studio ever PLANNED for an NC-17 movie. That’s box office suicide and I guarantee it never happened. I hope that we get a directors cut of P2 someday. A seriously underrated film.

[@DonPandemoniac]

There is so much great movie potential in the Predator and Alien lore, such a shame that studio interference or even the creator decided to screw it up. Glad we at least have some comic books and games that delve in to the possibilities.

[@dani_yordanov9377]

[@Novasky2007]

Just the fullspeed disc throw with gore. I'd be happy with that.

[@TheVandal1990]

I’m still hung up that the whole reason we were able to see this movie is cause the cast and crew were protected by crips in the 90s ♿️😂

[@brittanybecker170]

I've always been curious if the predators would treat an injured or orphaned human the way wildlife rescue organizations would. Are there places were 'non-releasable' humans are held? Would some predators be dedicated to this over hunting? Would they raise an orohaned human like we'd raise orphaned wildlife?

[@BTLAGS]

Thats interesting concept something that needs to be looked at. But my feeling they would leave the sick humans to die and the injured ones probably would left to die or mercy killed by the predator. One feeling is they may take orphans and raise them like bulls or pit bulls. They would train them to fight and host gladiator games make them go against other humans then one of the humans won enough fights they would have them go against a predator. If the human killed the predator by chance he would live another day they treat and tend his wounds because everytime a human killed predator it only made him more desireable for a predator to kill. But if he died his head was collected as a trophy for hunter whether used the gladiator games a proving ground for new hunters before their dispatched into the universe to find bigger prey or just for sport of the predator species as entertainment. They treat humans as nothing more than a animal. They feed you, train you, and heal you only for a hunter to have your head as a trophy someday.

[@TallPoppyMedia]

I don't find Busey's explanation about the mission in the first movie convincing. If you watch the whole interview he's basically just making stuff up on the fly. Maybe that was his own head cannon when getting into character, but that's the limit of it, I think. When Dillon says he doesn't know why the green berets were there he was flat-out lying. He specifically says to Dutch later on that Hopper was there on his orders to get the CIA agents out, once he's confronted and drops the whole act. Keyes and the predator had nothing to do with it at all.

[@magustobias8827]

Literally paused the video and went scouring through the comments to see if anyone else picked up on that error. I was really confused why he didn't mention how it directly and explicitly contradicted the first movie's plot. Glad to know I wasn't alone in catching that.

[@ricosuave5642]

I read the lore about the predator that went bac to the pirate time n how he got the pistol I wulda liked to see an animated or live action version to dat story To see the pirate n predator fight which ultimately leads to the pirates death n predator bein gifted the pistol by dying pirate wulda been cool

So we could of got Arnold, Danny Glover and Steven Seagal in Predator 2(a video you did before, said Seagal was nearly in it. I bet he was originally the Peter Keyes character).

[@sandervanduijvenbode5541]

In the shooting script there is a scene at the station with Leona and Jerry I would really like to see. If they actually shot it.. but I do think so. In an older script there was also a scene with the predator going into a taxidermist admiring all the big animals and the owner gets confused what's going on in his shop. I'd love to see a scene like this in one of the future movies. Maybe at a zoo or something.

[@AcidGlow]

The 2 interviews that Stephen Hopkins did with people in the media in 2020 does not go further into this topic. That's all he says. Maybe it's for the best. In a way, it's kind of when you go to another country and you hire the local police to protect you from rebels or rogue soldiers in the mountains. I don't know anything more about this topic. It's the first 2 times i heard this come up but that's about it. I'm only going to guess - maybe there wasn't enough of the police force to spare during filming so they had to pick 1 side during these gang wars?

I feel like the character of Mike Harrigan doesn't get much respect in the franchise. After the movie, he appears in one short story (DRUG WAR) and is mentionned in a novel (STALKING SHADOWS). I honestly believe he could be on a vendetta against the Yautja like Dutch is. Leona also survived an encounter with the Predator. She could have come back as well. I get the Dutch mystique, connected to the Arnold mystique and that has even been extended by creating Dutch's brother from the NYPD, but Harrigan and Dutch on the same team, hunting Yautja, could have had some potential

My idea for a Predator5 movie is as follows: It follows a group of Yatujas that travels through time on earth. Two separate spaceships with competing Yatujas for some kind of grand price,arrive in the stoneage,and when they have killed their victims they travels further through time. In the roman time they fights an germanic tribe. Then they travel to South America and fights a Peruian tribe.Then they travel to present time and there they gets harder resistance. And all of them gets killed exept one who goes into hiding in a secret base in the antartic. And that sets up the events for a sequel.

Can you imagine how F'ing amazing a properly well done Predators series would be. Based on there planet Yautja Prime or other planets that we don't know about and following them as they hunt not just on Earth but also on other worlds, and creating new Yautja's and Bad Bloods and other kinds of aliens from other planets that they hunt. Back it up with a proper back story showing them living on their home planet with all the different characters were all familiar with , Wolf ,Beserker the jungle predator etc. Key is that it has to be done as realisticly as possible not all CGI or crap acting story lines like in the last Predators film ' The Predator' directed by Shane Black which was an absolute let down. A full blown series done by a true Predator fan would be awesome and i genuinely believe it would be a huge smash also. !!
