Reacting to PREDATOR (1987) | Movie Reaction

She should appreciate that the Landmine Jesse Ventura disarmed is called the "Claymore" after the Scottish sword. Billy cut himself to show the Predator that he was not afraid of pain. He waited for the Predator because he would ratehr face death than run anymore. He was challenging the alien to face him hand to hand. Kevin Peter Hall, the actor inside the Predator suit, was the black man piloting the helicopter at the last scene.

[@one1charlie643]

In a duel if you wound your opponent first it’s called drawing first blood. At that point you can offer mercy (it’s called giving quarter) to your opponent. When Billy cuts himself he’s denying the predator the chance for first blood. Basically Billy is telling the predator that this is to the death.

[@AmatureAstronomer]

Back in the olden days one form of punishment was being skinned alive, called 'flaying'. It was not immediately fatal, but the victim died later of shock or infection. Good reaction! Thumbs up!

Nonsense. It doesn’t count if you do it yourself.

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

I’m certain cultures, you’re not supposed to unsheathe a blade without ‘blooding’ it. He may have known his chances of getting blood from the Predator were for shit & decided to blood it that way instead. It could also have been a method to get himself hyped up for the forthcoming battle. In ‘normal’ situations, someone cutting themselves like that would be pretty intimidating, but something tells me the Predator wasn’t intimidated by such an action..

[@SydneyLoli]

Guerilla is originally a Spanish word meaning "fighter" or "warrior" from the root word guerra meaning "war". It's been adapted into English and now means "an insurgent soldier". They are generally paramilitary and operate with hit and run tactics because they usually are outnumbered and less well equipped than government troops.

YES!!! 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 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, was cast as the titular character as he was more of an intimidating opponent for Arnold's character Dutch being 7'2". Oscar Winning VFX company Stan Winston Studios designed the PREDATOR suit for the movie and they would later return to the franchise for PREDATOR 2 in 1990. Half the cast and crew got food poisoning except for Arnold and Director McTiernan whom ate Spaghetti O's and PBJ Sandwiches like Spielberg and Ford on Raiders Of The Lost Ark. Schwarzenegger would later hire his own personal Chef to give the actors the food they needed, but no hot meals were allowed due for the heatwave in Mexico 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 " The stuntman that falls off the cliff and lands in the water blew out his kneecap. It was 110 degrees in the shade, and due to the 2 weeks of rain, it was 42 degrees at night. The film was a box office success, making $100 million dollars ($470 million dollars today,) against an $18 million dollar budget. It was nominated for Best Visual Effects but lost to InnerSpace. It's one of the best Sci-fi Action movies ever made.

[@herrzimm]

Billy, cut himself for several reasons. 1) As a Native American, it would have been viewed in some cultures as a sign of a "brave warrior" due to not being afraid of pain or blood. 2) As "prey", he would have cut himself to deny the Predator the "honor" of taking his skin intact, or ruining the Predator's trophy. (See a bit later on) 3) As a "warrior", cutting himself BEFORE the fight started showed the Predator that "first blood" was no longer a "bragging right". The fight would be to the death, Billy's or Predator's. And as such, the Predator saw Billy as a far more VALUABLE prey to hunt because he was willing to turn to fight him one-on-one. Which is why after the fight, the Predator took Billy's skull as a trophy. Which was HIGHLY respected and honorable prey worthy of a hunt ... in Predator society. (Something expanded and explained in other media sources such as books and comics)

This is the 1980s, so sometimes dramatic music was used just to make boring transitional scenes more lively, especially in militaristic movies. Different eras used different methods/tricks to hold the audience's attention. Everything (especially the plot) starts and/or moves along faster these days, usually, while older movies allow the story to develop more gradually, and hold the audience's attention with the score or with additional action or side-plots.

Great reaction, Dawn, you seemed to enjoy this, now you're ready for Alien Vs Predator. To answer your questions: it's Guerrillas not Gorillas, Guerrillas are people engaged in warfare but don't belong to an army. The technology isn't part of the Predator it's an add-on like his armour and helmet. Yes, it's a competition between the Predators who are the best hunters.

[@ChrisBBozeman]

"I knew he could repeat things." This is where a lot of people don't really pay attention to the various cues throughout the movie. Listen to the enunciation of Dutch's line, "What the *Hell* are you?" He stresses the word "Hell". The Predator stresses the word, "you". The Predator isn't repeating, "What the Hell are you?" to Dutch. The Predator is asking, "What are you, that a mere human could manage to not only beat me, but kill me?" The Predator is literally in disbelief that he was laid low by a pathetic human.

Dawn on point with the hiding of the heat signatures, the predator being on safari and who the last two characters standing would be!

This means that the Predator was actually working with a handicap by hunting in the extreme heat. Means it was a fair fight, which was nice.

Fun fact-Martial Artist Champion and 90s action star Jean Claude Van Dame was originally cast as the Predator. But he and the director did not see eye to eye as to how the Predator was supposed to act, so the Predator was react as Kevin Peter Hall.

"Do they mean real gorillas?" You got a spit-take out of me on that one. Best. Mike.

I admire a woman who can enjoy a good p@ssy joke. Funny is funny.

Love your reactions kiddo and sense of humor. ❤😂❤😂❤😂. Keep up the great job. ❤

[@DawnMarieX]

Thank you 😏

[@rbrtck]

You show a remarkable understanding of Predator culture for this early in the movie. That's pretty much what they do: try to be the top trophy hunter amongst themselves.

[@TheDreamtimezzz]

Is outlaw Josey wales on your film list? Clint Eastwood western.

☝️💯👍

[@dunringill1747]

A Must-Watch Western! Clint Eastwood has quite a few must-watch movies, westerns and other genres.

They are on earth, most likely South America.

Hi Dawn. It wasn't gorillas, it was guerillas. That is what they call fighters who work in concealment and under the cover of jungle or whatever. They hit and run. The enemy in Viet Nam were guerilla fighters as were some of the Americans that fought the British in the War of Independance. They fought from behind hay bales and trees and anywhere they could find cover. Here's a bit of an odd fact for you Dawn. There were 2 former governors in this movie. Arnie of course and the guy who didn't have time to bleed. He was a former wrestler named Jesse (the body) Ventura. He, after retiring from wrestling became Governor of Minnesota.

'Hide your thermalness?' 🤣 Love you Dawn

"Oh my god! I am a genius." You are saying what the rest of us already know. Great reaction! Thanks.

[@mikelarsen5836]

She must have a unique dictionary then. One where the definition of genius would be definition of stupidity in a normal one.

[@Wyrmksc]

The Predator comes from a species called the Yautja. They were genetical tampered with and accelerated into full sentience by yet a 5th alien race in the comics lore. To them hunting is a form of obtaining status and breeding rights. There are also sub species and different clans of Yautja that hunt in different environments, same or different prey and even hunt other clans members.

[@Verasoul]

Yup. All the predator hunters are basically teenagers. It's also a matriarchal race and the females are giant compared to the males. Glad to see someone else with extended lore knowledge commenting.

[@dudermcdudeface3674]

An open secret is that it's really a sports movie. Every key scene is some kind of competition.

[@CrashTestPilot]

Lately it's been like you've been picking through my movie shelf when I'm not home.

[@jaydisqus3353]

This movie would have been so much better without the opening scene.

[@GreenBeanGreenBean]

100% no, because then the audience would be confused when the infravision was done, and there would not be a 'hunt'

[@Mike-rw2nh]

HELL YES!!! Followed by Predator 2, then Prey. 👍👍👍 Edit: Stellar quality editing - you have a flare for this kind of thing!

[@SamuelBlack84]

And, Predators

[@damian01061973]

And stop there. Predators is....eh. The Predator is garbage. And sadly AvP is just atrocious.

[@leethomas2155]

Fun fact: the helicopter pilot right at the end that rescued Arnie was Kevin Peter Hall doing a full facial cameo. He played the Predator in this film and Predator 2.

[@Jayskiallthewayski]

La Guerra means war in Spanish and Guerrilla is Spanish for "little war" cause it's in country like a coup or revolution. So Guerilla's are mostly rebels who fight the regular army of a certain state.

[@SomethingNowhereMan]

So glad you like this movie! Also, you don't have to check out all the Predator films except the second one. Save you the time to check out Alien vs Predator bit sooner and when you check out Alien vs Predator make sure it's the extended edition! I look forward for Predator 2 one day! =D

[@Verasoul]

AvP was literally the next film to come out with a predator after Predator 2. I also heard that Predators wasn't a bad movie and the new Prey is okay enough. But, why wouldn't you want her to react to them all when her dense ass brain and poor understanding of English expression would make for great laughs and rage baiting comments/views for greater engagement. It literally pays on KZbin to be dumb.

[@harrytrevenen2310]

Dawn, this was one of your most fun reactions yet, great job figuring out the thermal imaging vision so fast, was nice to see you get over your gorilla fixation and replace it with a mud fetish. JK LOL

[@danielhaynes2373]

As a former Army "Huey" helicopter crew chief, the wind screen doesn't shatter as they portrayed as it's made of plexiglass. Also, due to the magnesium alloy make up of the fuselage, it would still be burning or reduced to melting scrap from the fire. I regret to say that I had the misfortune of recovering a Huey crash that killed 10 soldiers. The wreckage was still smoldering when we arrived two days later.

[@davidmc1489]

Was at ft campbell in 96 when a couple of blackhawks ran in to one another......they never caught fire after crashing....but was a bummer we lost some folk

[@danielhaynes2373]

@@davidmc1489 I'm sorry. I misunderstood your comment. I thought you were ASKING me if my crash recovery happened at Campbell. Well, no, the crash I helped recover happened in June of 1986 (shortly before I became a crew chief myself) at Ft Hood, TX.

[@guildsman06]

FYI, Guerrilla is a term used for a non conventional fighter in a warzone, usually using irregular fighting tactics against a larger and better equipped enemy.

[@inertiaforce7846]

I've never enjoyed watching a young Scottish or Irish girl's reaction to a movie so much lol. You were very intuitive. You made me laugh on several occasions. You made many correct predictions. Clever girl lol.

FUNNIEST COMMENTS SECTION EVER. LITERALLY LAUGHING OUT LOUD

When she finally saw it I expected her to say "Are guerrillas invisible?"

I was born in December of 78'. I watched this movie in theaters in 1987. I remember having had the same issue about the gorilla confusion lol

Guerrillas are like special ops teams or a small platoon of irregular combatants. The blue pulse weapon is probably some kind of plasma launching device, perhaps vaporizing a wire with high voltage within a conical magnetic field; likely would have to have a small nuclear or zero point power source. Perhaps it takes time to fully charge, so if fired in rapid succession each shot isn't as powerful as it could be.
