[@DonBakke]

In my head cannon, only Predator and Predator 2 exist in this franchise. I agree that the original Predator is in a league by itself, but 2 was a decent sequel.

[@behappybevegan]

"I ain't got time to bleed" Love that line.

[@chrismason9410]

I was lucky enough back in the day to work on PREDATOR (The Hunter at that time) at BOSS Films who did the original "bug" suit for JCVD - I worked on several of the dead bodies that hug from the trees. FUN TIMES! - Special note: While the new Predator was being designed, the film shut down, Arnold went off to shoot The Running Man*

[@SmileyBones555]

Those were the days. When you went into a cinema totally clueless to what you were about to see. I went solely because it was an Arnold film. Man, did I LOVE IT!!!

[@x15galmichelleevans]

Absolutely. When this came out, I wasn't really sure I wanted to see it, but then gave it a try. Was more than happily surprised at the great fun I had in the theater that day.

[@user-qn2fk4xy6w]

The Dylan observation was spot on!

[@robertharold2503]

Arguably one of Arnold’s best movies!

[@Anynom]

No argument

[@NoahSpurrier]

No, it has to be Terminator or Conan

[@4362mont]

[@gilbert1975nf]

It's had two scenes in this movie that really hook me up: 1 - When the guy has his arm cut off and the machine gun attached to its amputed arm continues to fire - AWESOME and 2 - When Arnold get off the mudd and gotcha the predator by surprise - AMAZING.

[@robertharold2503]

As far as the sequels goes..predators was great

[@InjuredRobot.]

Extreme trivia (that probably no one will care about) : In the scene were Blain (Jesse Ventura) was killed, he first hears something moving through the jungle toward him which turns out to be some weird little rodent-like jungle animal so he relaxes. That animal was a Mexican Hairy Dwarf Porcupine.

[@johnmorgan1629]

A group of KZbinrs in Texas proved that covering yourself in mud would disguise the human form from the Predator's heat vision. The reimagining's and crossovers have been a mixed bag, but there was also an Anime series developed by Disney. RIP Kevin Peter Hall 1955-1991.

[@williamlloyd3769]

Prey (2022) is my favorite movie of the series with the exception of the original Predator (1987).

[@carlmontney7916]

I remember watching this in the theater when it came out such a great movie with a great cast. I've always thought that the reason this generated so many sequels and alien versus predator battles and all the other things is just because there's always room for another monster type movie. Man against the monster it's worked for decades.

[@stevec.7017]

I feel that this video could have been a lot longer. There was no mention of where things were, lunchboxes and board games, video games, etc. Love your channel!

[@leecotton3242]

Thank you! Loved reading Arnold’s descriptions of the making of the film in his memoir.

[@Mrmoviemax05]

All the characters in Predator are amazing. I will like to see a GI Joe movie with characters like this ones. Great episode Dan; you are the Starlog magazine of 2024.

[@JayMane-z7c]

Dan ...awesome "Predator" Info Video! The original flick was definitely the best (so far) of these movies. However I own the original & all the sequels & spin-offs on Blu-ray, 4k UHD, The Hunter Edition. etc.🙂

[@FIREBRAND38]

Dan, this was a terrific video. This is another one of those movies where a behind the scenes reveal like yours could go for over an hour if you let it. One thing though. You might be interested to know that the handheld mini-gun "Old Painless" was rented from the now defunct Stembridge Gun Rentals and was later used by Arnold himself in Terminator 2. It was an actual M134 minigun firing 7.62mm NATO ammo.It's normal firing rate of 6000 rounds per minute was slowed down to 1250 rpm because otherwise the frame rate of the filming just showed the barrels as being a stationary blur (also to allow Ventura to hold it while firing). It was strictly Hollywood though because even at 1250 rpm the ammo backpack would only hold even rounds for 4-6 seconds of fire. That and it required the power from several 12 volt car batteries to run. The power cable ran down the actor's pants leg to off screen. After Stembridge liquidated its inventory the whereabouts of Old Painless are unknown (at least to me).

[@mugwugthemagnificful]

It was filmed outside of Puerto Vallarta. Back in the mid90’s I took a taxi tour and they brought us to the site; Arnold built a bar and had a small zoo there at the time.

[@chazk1234able]

Bravo Dan! So well done! I’ve seen this one so many times, I’ve lost count and I still learned something new here!

[@Phalanx11]

I met Danny Glover on my honeymoon in Paris, we were staying at the same hotel. I turned around and there was a tall black guy behind me. I'm 6'3" and he towered above me. It was Glover. I said "I loved you in Predator2" . I think he was just relieved I didn't say Lethal Weapon!

[@jeffcook3747]

Hey Dan ! I love you videos ! Quick sugestion: Could you do "They Live !", please ? It's one of my favorite 80s films about the aliens who normally look human but when Rowdy Roddy Piper puts on the special sunglasses he sees their true form and the social engineering subconscious messaging ("OBEY", et cetera) in the communications channels ? Thanks Dan :)

[@igorschmidlapp6987]

Kevin Peter Hall was also in "Without Warning" playing an alien hunting humans... 🤔

Everytime I see NFL stars with dredlocks I think of the Predator. It is such a cool, iconic look. Even the Predator's mouth looks like a mouth guard. So many fun facts, Dan! You outdid yourself!

[@adambusenlehner3689]

Alan Silvestri's score has been released on CD by two major soundtrack labels. Varese Sarabande and Intrada. Avoid the bootlegs.

[@darknagaadventures7884]

Best part for me was the director's injoke, taking the piss out of the action genre, when Shane Black says "we hit nothing" after a near-pornographic level of ammo spent

[@thomasbentley4757]

The first Predator comic from Dark Horse comics had Dutch's brother fighting a Predator.

Went to see it, when it came out. Been smearing mud on ever since.

[@erichartzell4130]

If I remember correctly the same auction house sold the "self-destruct" arm piece about 10 years ago, still fully functional with the alien LED countdown clock. Really cool piece, and a pivotal prop for the climatic ending.

I read somewhere Disney is working on a reimagined Predator , it’s set in Rodeo Drive where the predator will be played by Dylan Mulvaney stalking sales staff who are there to protect the dress racks

Thanks, Dan, another great video. Ons of my favorite 8o,s films. I actually kind of liked the concept of Alien Vs Predator, but the actual movie was barely ok.

[@monsterphile]

I enjoyed PREDATOR II and PREY was excellent.

[@lnutt677]

If the studios wanted to make more money (or any money at all these days), they should give up making movies and just re-release the hit films from the past. I'd pay to watch Wrath of Khan in the theater.

I first saw in theater I totally love ❤️ the predator movie.

[@SidlyBoDidly222]

War of the Worlds 2019 with Gabriel Byrne is an excellent modern production that leaves a lot for us to fill in the blanks with our imagination. Old school story telling and effects. Simple. You'll love it.

[@bloodyirishman5758]

As usual, great breakdown and of one of my all time favorites...love the disney enthusiasm too 👍 Would be awesome to see you breakdown "Silver Bullet". Especially prop wise...does the Silver Bullet trike still exist? Is "The Peacemaker" still around? Hopefully one day as I'm sure you'd do the old warewolf movie proud...

[@Sojourning_]

Dan, I thoroughly enjoyed your over all reviews. I don't understand why the sarcasm in some of the comments. I really love the work you put into your graphic's / or is it called CGI, something like that. No matter, great job. I had been a great fan of all the B&W SiFi when I was a kid in the 50's. I was into all the space SiFi films and other such type movies. I never was one to pick a movie apart like some will. Keep it clean, no foul mouth words and so on, and it's not a sleeper, pretty much covers it for me Love your work. The Lord Be With You..

[@timphillips4147]

Been looking forward to this one Dan 🎉

[@acovcar]

Great work Dan on a classic film. I agree this was the best of the lot but I very much enjoyed Prey. Awesome movie. I also like Aliens vs Predator a lot. Keep up the good work. BTW, I'll try the razors just because you recommend them.

Nice job Dan. Pretty high-level for those of us that are dedicated fans of the franchise - but then you would have ended up with a multi-part 4hr upload if you included all the really interesting stuff 🙂 P2 still has the edge for me of the original 2, but I love aspects of all 7 - although my house would be a lot emptier (and my bank account a lot fuller) if it hadn't been created 🤣 PS: Loved your additional humour in this one too 👍

Arnold was at his peak when he did this show. Ventura was an actual ex navy seal, so at least he added some realism to the show. I loved the musical score. Like Jaws, it marked when the bad guy would appear. I hate to push my luck, but is their any chance you could do an episode on my all time favorite movie "Five million years to Earth", pretty please?
