The thing about these three Predators, they were teenagers. And it shows. The first that died(Chopper) didn't focus on the Xenomorphs. The second, Celtic, died because he was arrogant.

"She was just grumpy." Of course she was. The mission was rushed, unprofessional and the macho team ignored her instructions. (Mary's friend reminds me of those smug critics of the '80s that miss the point and look forward to crapping on films.) This movie was surprisingly entertaining.

Weyland's last ditch, from the Predator's point of view, I think WAS a win. Not at killing the Predator, but at showing that he's worth killing. Scanning his health, he was first abandoned as a dishonorable kill, worthless creature who's lived such an unchallenged life that he's here, old and weak, body dying of AGING. But he showed that even so, he's still got teeth.

13:08 The harness keeping the xenomorph queen restrained also continuously shocks her to force her to lay eggs, supplying offspring for the teenage predators to kill. Once the trial was to be completed, the queen would've been frozen back into stasis for the next 100 years

The predator was showing Lex that the alien's could be used as both a shield and weapon, and he decided to arm her because she impressed him by killing the Alien.

You kinda had to watch “Predator 2” to establish the link between the two species. Also don’t think you recognized that Lance Henrikson, who played Weyland, was the same guy who played the android Bishop in “Aliens”. There was also a plot point about that in “Alien3”. So, ya, a few pieces of crucial context missing…

I don’t remember which critic said it, but he said that this movie was better than it had any right to be. And I agree. I thought it would be terrible, and I was pleasantly surprised that it was an enjoyable movie.

Keep in mind, the Predators invisibility means nothing against the Aliens, since they have no eyes.

I did not expect this. This is my favorite guilty pleasure, the last 30 minutes where there is little to no dialouge but you can follow just by how the predator interacts with the human is fantastic.

I think I prefer it much more when Mary is alone in her reactions.

When the predator marked her face twords the end, that’s the predators clan symbol, so pretty much she was “adopted” into the predators clan

She wasn't just left on the ice to die. There were the snowcats and the ship that brought them. The abandoned whaling station was left because the whaling industry was not needed after people started using petroleum instead of whale oil.

So many people criticize this movie, particularly citing its attempt to reach a larger audience by editing to a PG-13 rating as a liability. Maybe so, but I think this was a really good popcorn movie. It is fun and coherent which is more than these crossovers tend to achieve. Taking it for what it is versus comparing it to Alien/s or Predator.

The predator was making her a weapon and shield in that one scene. He's actually really impressed with her. I thought of all the predator films that have come after the original, predator 2 & this one were the superior ones

BTW, Ripley wasn't a scientist. She was a Warrant Officer on a space hauler.

I always loved the tagline on the poster for this movie: Whoever wins, we lose.

It's a fun movie, the latter half is definitely better with the last human character teaming up with the last Predator to survive the Xenomorph hoard and the movie did a good job at expressing nonverbal communication between the two with the art of "Show don't Tell" as we see the Predator showing her that the Xenomorph skin is resistant to the acid blood to then use the head as a shield and the tail as a spear, as well as the Predator using hand gestures to get across that he has a bomb, some good visual story telling

Predator2 (1990) could help you to understand a bit more on predator's culture, Before this AVP one. Not too late to check it out, stacked cast btw.

She ain't being saved by the goddamn alien. Perfect timing

I believe this film actually inspired Ridley Scott to return to the Alien universe. He said something along the lines of being impressed at how good the movie was and that it made him think about ideas for future Alien films.

Just an FYI, but the Predators’ cloaking devices don’t conceal them from the aliens. Also, Weyland’s improvised flamethrower never had a chance to hurt the Predator, but it showed that he’s not an unarmed and can be a threat if he wants. Thus earning him an honorable death at the hands of the Predator.

Watching out of order? You wild as hell Mary. 😂😂😂

Seriously Mary? You watched AvP, before watching Predator 2 from 1990? What the heck Mary? This is not OK. 😔

Sure, it's flawed, but this is a better movie than its been made out to be.

When Sam says "I feel like Predators, that's kind of their whole schtick is to hunt people, like I feel like that's their whole thing" I knew he was destined to one day win a Nobel Peace prize or the like with such a hot take like that 🤭😆

The Predators in this film were teenagers. They weren't fully lethal experienced adults yet. They were trying to earn their right of passage by obtaining the shoulder plasma cannons without an alien obstructing them. The next AvP is called Requiem. It continues where this leaves off. Get the extended cut. And turn the brightness settings on your TV 📺 up all the way cuz this movie is super dark. This movie, they send a lone experienced Predator to fight this Pred-Alien hybrid. The lone Predator is called the Wolf Predator. And he's very aggressive. -OG

You should take a look at “Predators” from 2010. It’s pretty cool

predators normally dont kill unarmed, weak , defenseless or sick beings, they kill worthy prey, the thrill of the hunt

The biggest thing to realize with the end credit scene of the baby alien coming out of the predator is that if you look closely, it has the predator mandibles. Facehuggers implant the alien embryo that uses the host DNA to complete itself and adapt. So aliens look different depending on the species of host. A alien/predator hybrid is a far more powerful thing than the alien/human variety. In Alien 3 there is an alien who gestated in a dog (or cow depending on the cut you watch), the resulting adult alien was far more a four-legged creature with other advantages. This way the alien species can adapt to any environment because presumedly the host present there can live there and by taking some of their DNA, now the alien can. Also Invisibility means very little to the aliens, they don't have eyes anyways. They "see" by sensing pheromones.

Don't skip out on Predator 2!🤨

I feel the need to point out that there was another Predator movie before this. IDK, Predator 2.

Yes there's an AVP 2 but Predator 2 overall is a better movie than both AVP movies

The graphic novel was awesome :) She's a legit badass and the marks she bears grant her alot of respect from the Predators :)

Predator 2 was fun as well. There is another AVP movie, called AVP: Requiem. Mary tried too hard to be badass. Ripley grew into badass. She was a strong personality, not an action figure.

34:21 The physical attributes of a xenomorph depends on what host-species they hatch from, as the embryo absorbs genetic information during development. The ones we're all used to hatched from humans, but a xeno hatched from a predator will inherent the mandibles, dreadlocks(because they're sensory organs that enhance their vibrational detection) and superior strength. Then there's the xeno from Alien 3 that hatched from a dog which gave it a cuadrupedal stance and really fast running speed. There's even a fan-designed xenomorph that hatched from a Tyrannosaurus, and the result is as terrifying as you can imagine.

I remember watching this multiple times when it came out. Loved it! Now, I love marys reactions and all her side talk, but double that sidetalk and it gets a little much. Found this one harder to watch. Glad you guys had fun though!

Mary no offence to this Dude but we watch the reactions for u!

To be clear, you haven't actually seen all the Alien movies, Mary; there's still 3 and 4.

29:28 is a line from _Predator_ and is one of many moments that's making an overt a reference to one of the original films, which is why it feels out of place.

Before I watched Godzilla vs Kong Before I watched Batman vs Superman Before I watched Freddy vs Jason Before I watched King Kong vs Godzilla (1962) I watched... *AVP: Alien vs Predator*

Weylands wasn’t a threat. Until he was. 😂 also don’t know if you noticed it or if anyone let ya know, weyland is played by the same actor who plays the android bishop from the alien series. He’s sort of the reason we have androids to begin with in this series. Of Ridley Scott’s alien universe continuation that is.

Shame you didn't go for the Director's Cut version. It has some added scenes, most notably a whole opening scene that was cut and actually introduces the abandoned camp and gives a first tease for the Predators and Xenomorphs

I saw this movie from a gamer perspektive. It remembered me at the PC Game from 1999 with the same name in which you can play on the human, alien and on the predator side (There was also a 2010 reboot). I love how they use all the toys of the predator in this film.

A lot of people hated this movie when it was released because they expected it to be based on the "Aliens vs. Predator" video games, however it was mostly based on the "Aliens vs. Predator" comic books that inspired the games.

They forecast this movie in Predator 2. The Predator was cleaning skull trophies, and one on the wall was a Xenomorph, or Alien. It showed they were hunting them, too.

I believe that the 'gearing up' moment by the Predators is a homage to the Arnie film Commando.

There is an AVP2 so to speak. It's called AVP: Requiem. It's... hard to watch. It goes far deeper into the horror side, and if you're not okay with watching kids and pregnant women dying... might want to give it a pass.

Hope you can watch Predator 2 to get more of the Lore.

Definitely need to see Predator 2 and Mission Impossible!

This is a guilty pleasure of mine. My favorite line in this entire movie is "My experts tell me it's a pyramid"

This movie actually held together well, yes it had a slow start, and yes it could have been better in many ways, but it didn't suck. :) It had moments. And remember this "staged hunt" was a right of passage, so these were... young predators. There was also a short lived "fan theory" that since this was set in 2004 that the ship with the dead predator and hatching xenomorph was actually the same ship Ripley and team found. That seems unlikely as the look nothing alike but it was a brief tie in between the series.

There is a sequel, Alien vs Predator Requiem. It's very dark, just to prepare you.

Yeah, this movie gets dumped on a lot, but I've honestly always liked it. Xenomorphs primarily rely on Scent to locate prey, so the predator invisibility is kinda worthless against them. In Alien Isolation the Xenomorphs were both Buffed and Nerfed, Buffed in the sense that they're literally invincible no matter what weapons are used against them, even being set on fire only scares them away, but Nerfed in the sense they can only locate prey through sight and sound.

At the end, he was marking her as a blooded warrior just in case she came into contact with another of his species they would show her respect at least.

Well they call those things face huggers for a reason...😆

She's going to watch all of them out of order lol

The only problem with inviting someone else..... there ends up being too much chit-chat and then the inevitable important moment/dialog missed.

She said it grabbed her face! It's a face hugger that's what they do 🤣🤣

I still think the best line in this movie is "this is like finding mosses' DVD collection" lol

Predators will fight with humans who show honour and resourcefulness in killing an enemy.

Please play Alien Vs Predator 2 on your other channel or Alien Isolation they are the 2 best Alien games out there, would love to see you play them.

The subtitles for this movie is just going to do the whole Stranger Things subtitles thing isn't it? "Aliens aliening wetly"

The thing is that the original Alien vs Predator comic is actually pretty good. If only they'd stuck to that storyline!

22:32 Mary "Fuck that. Fuck that. Fuck that! Fuck that!! Fuck that!!!" 😂

this is such a weird coincidence … me and my brother are watching this for the first time tonight

This is one of my favorite movies, liked it from day one. Always thought they should have made a sequel to this, the predators come back hunting some other kind of prey and need human help, they seek her out and her kids are freaked out to realize mom was a badass alien hunter!

I thought you've watched all the alien films... why so surprised, then you should somehow already know all this about facehuggers that use humans as hosts and the alien queen can lay the eggs 🤔

Ironic that Lance Hendrickson aka. Bishop (the android in "Aliens"), is setting up the expedition.

Crazy how watching movies joking around with someone makes them way more silly than watching them by yourself... Great way to make it less scary, although one of my favorite things about this one is that it's closer to an action film (inspired by the second installment of the Alien franchise) with amazing visuals and cool badass shots of our favorite monsters in an awesome set

There is definitely an Alien vs Predator 2, and you still have to see Predator 2 and there is one called Predators.

I remember this movie wasnt as scary as it could have been cause the studio insisted to make it PG13

No point being invisible when the alien is blind...

You should watch the original predator film with Arnold in it… still the best one they ever made

I for a moment forgot which franchises were crossing over and expected the penguin to start going all The Thing on them.

I'm at 13:16 but a couple issues I have with their analysis so far. "she's too grumpy" - she is on a rush job, with cut corners, being forced to take untrained individuals she's never met, on a deadly ice journey where she has to have full faith they will keep their head and stay calm or everyone could die. Everyone is ignoring her rules and safety tips. Waylon is basically saying fuck you, make it happen. "don't understand why there is lightning" - The alien queen is locked away in this temple because it is a challenge ground. She is hooked up to a "breeding machine" and she is being shocked into giving birth against her will to create xenomorphs for the predators to hunt.

Wait! What about Predator 2?!

When you realize the spaceship is basically a school bus with possibly partying students and staff

Her and the predator join forces (*why can’t we b freinds plays in the background*) 😂😂😂🤣

Awesome reaction M & friend! This movie has to be one of the first "shared universe" films in the early 2000s -

34:24 yes its called Aliens VS Predator

I knew my gambling addiction was at its worst immediately after placing a bet on Alien vs. Predator.

21:25 was that a Zombieland reference? Technically that's rule 6 but I definitely picked up what you're putting down

Uh oh, here comes Mary to brighten everyone's day

The Yautja (Predators) capture Xenomorph queens to breed them. They call them Kiande Amedha which in predator language translates to "Hard Meat". The xenomorphs are consider the top prize and this catacomb is essentially a trial ground for those who want the ultimate hunt. In addition to their advanced weapons and tech, the Yautja can live for thousands of years. They've had centuries to hone their skills. Also their blood is supposed to have longevity properties that allow humans to live longer so when he marks Alexa's cheek with his blood he's actually giving her the gift of long life which and basically making Alexa part of his tribe which is rare when human's are generally prey. Their blood is known to neutralize the xenomorph's acid blood too which is why it can burn through the hull of a ship but not burn through the predator as easily.

I have mad love for AVP, it's so much fun.

Happy to see you react with someone i think it always helps just for overall well being.

Great to see both them fighting each other… There is another 1 they did with both them fighting too:)

16:32 "Aint nothing but a heartache, Aint nothing but a mistake"

Predators 2010,one of my favorite of predator sequels

The actor who play Mr. Weylan was the android doctor in the very first Alien film. Lance Henrikson. Such a legendary actor!

You should watch Predators (2010) ..you will care more for the characters in the movie..

Movie: Its an old abandoned whaling station Them: Like why was it abandoned!?? Me: International ban on whaling in 1986 I reckon....

I love this movie I kinda remember being very little watching it when it first came out

Grid is my spirit animal he wrecked two predators, you go brother.

As a viewer this movie reminds me of a ride where we travel from one exhibit to the next with cliche'd characters playing their parts so the narrative can unfold. While not invested in the characters the actors did a decent job of defining them. I'm not a big fan of the director, but he managed to combine quite a few elements well enough to be entertaining.

I think Frank Castle would've done a better job working with the Predator lol,

this was the first to go pg13 and there was a directors cut i believe...

Many of the plot points in this movie was taken from the book Alien vs Predator: Prey. Especially the human fighting alongside a predator.

I hope the rest of Season 3 of the boys can be uploaded 🦖
