PREDATOR (1987) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION 

Predator 2 isn't necessarily better or worse, as it's set in a different kind of environment and has different kind of people. Still a very cool sequel though and I hope you'll react to it as well! Same actor who plays the first Predator plays the one in the 2nd movie as well - Kevin Peter Hall. If you look up his name and Arnold's, you'll see some interesting photos of them together on set. Arnold looks like a child next to him lol

Does anyone else get startled when these two greet the camera in sync at the start of each video? Reminds me of the twins from The Shining.

7:52 "why would you look? are you a bird?" -jyn 🤣🤣🤣

You guys seem to always get to the heart of the plot and see what's coming! "It's like he's invisible!" Spot on! Very observant!

12:18 Things like _this_ are the kind of thing that makes me _so_ hesitant about going into dense, undeveloped, tropical forest. Every _foot_ or two, there's something little, hiding, that can _kill_ you. It could be underfoot. It could be on a tree. It could even be hiding in the dense canopy _overhead._ It could be in all three and a few dozen _other_ places.

I love u guys so much.

3:11 🤣🤣🤣

Oh Ladies u better be perpared....LOL...STICK AROUND...lol

4:34 Special Forces and many other Army units are sent to survival traing which teaches how to live off the land. So Billy would definitely know which plants he can drink from.

💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Jyn x Ryl if both of y'all thought The Wilderness Predator in this Film was a total badass then wait 2 both of y'all get a load of the Concrete Jungle/Urban Jungle/City Predator that/who has far more variety of Weaponry & far more other options as well (very Batmanish in a way)!

Don't even bother with Predator 2, it's hot garbage and a waste of your time. Skip to Predators, a fun sequel, and then you've GOT to watch Prey. So good. Love your videos, I can't wait til you get your studio done! Oh nooo!

According to my cousin (film student), this movie is frequently used as an example in film school of how to transition between genres while maintaining near perfect pacing. It starts off with a very militaristic, action-hero vibe, transitions to sci-fi, and then to survival horror while maintaining both of the previous genres and moving the story along smoothly. As for the lore, the Predator soecies are called the Yautja. They are a species of extraterrestrial hunters that base their entire society on a strict honor code that only permits them to hunt prey that can challenge/threaten them. They travel across the Galaxy hunting different hostile lifeforms on different worlds.

The manliest movie ever. The black Chopper pilot at the end was Kevin Peter Hall, the Predator actor in a second roll so his face could be seen. he was 7'2" tall nd also played Bigfoot "Harry" in Harry and the Hendersons.

I'm glad they don't reveal too much about the Predator in this movie. They say less is more. The less you know about the Predator, the scarier he becomes. But it's twofold. The less we know about the Predator, the more we want to know about what makes him tick! Perhaps this is why this film has become such a great cult classic! And why it's popularity has grown into a big franchise! -OG

Gonna have me some fun. Gonna have me some fun...

He didn't think the green was from a snake. He didn't say "Venomous." He said "Vamanos," Spanish for "Hurry up." I may have spelled it wrong.

3:10 This guy is thedirector of Iron Man 3,Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and the screenwriter of Lethal Weapon movies )

Predators are a hunter species and find humans a worthy prey to hunt. This one was a trophy hunter who liked collecting skulls, like some human hunters who collect deer antlers from their hunts. He found a worthy prey in Dutch which is why he took off his weapons and fought him bare handed. He blew himself up at the end because he wasn't going to be someone else's trophy and also not to allow their technology to fall in the hands of a inferior species. Kevin Peter Hall who played the Predator was over seven feet tall, towering over Arnold. You can see the actor out of his makeup at the end of the movie, he was playing as the helicopter pilot. This is one of my favorite Arnie movies

Great movie

The predator can only see in infrared (heat).

This film perfectly pulled the ultimate bait and switch. Started as a cold war action caper with Dutch and his team manipulated into a deadly mission by Dillon. 'We are a rescue team, not assassins'. All of that suddenly vanishes when the predator shows up. Then it becomes a scifi survival horror nightmare with slasher elements to boot. A true classic.

Predator 2 is worth watching IMO (very different but not "better") and also the very recent Prey (which is awesome). I can't comment on the other movies. But great reaction, Jyn & Ryl. Thank you.

I think this is such a unique film. It starts out as a typical 80s war movie and then changes genre and becomes a horrific gore monster film who also happens to be an extraterrestrial!! -OG

Tactical nuke in the 80's. Predator was away of the times. Maybe he watched the plans from those Russian military advisers. 😂☢ RU

😆That's what i always said, he had a crab face / crab mouth......you guys are the only other I've heard say that.🤣

The predator uses Billy's laugh at the end... the disrespect.

Yall r gonna love the new one " PREY " ...Best one since the first ....but all of then are worth watching

I fell in love with a girl with dreadlocks!!!!!!!!!! Now girls need to watch "Predator 2"

This movie gives us cause to question our own humanity. Many people hunt animals for sport, while others protest to this. The Predator is a hunter that hunts humans, but in the final moments we're left to question ourselves as humans: The Predator is no more evil than anyone who hunts animals for sport, and in the fianl moments we realise it's not some mindless killing machine, but a living creature that's clearly in pain. Dutch realises this and actually feels sorry for it, that's why he doesn't kill it with the rock, the bitter sweet music that plays is to make us feel the same way.

23:47 "like a predator." -ryl that's the name of the movie!

You guys are ready for Escape from new york or They Live Love the action and comedy reactions!

6:45 😮 gasp!

Predator 2 isn't as good but you should still watch it. It's enjoyable enough.

1:38 "whoa." -ryl

36:56 "oh no, put it back on." -ryl "yes, he's so right." -jyn 😆

A bit of trivia - the helicopter pilot at the end who says "What the...?" when he sees the predator's explosion is actually Kevin Peter Hall, the guy who performed the role of the predator. Originally Jean Claude Van Damme was to be the predator (and there's a few photos and some video of him testing the costume...a couple of shots actually made it into the film) but he was replaced not long before the location filming began.

@ 26:13 ..... "Bullshit, the girl in the black shirt ain't afraid of no jump scare."

FYI: Predators species are called Yautja. Their "dreads" are a part of their skin. If they get cut, they bleed. All predators pick their weapons and accessories based on how well they know and are in tune with said weapons (at least in the lore). And each predator gets sent to earth as their initiation of survival to "climb the ladder". Almost every predator sent to earth is basically a late teen/ young adult. Just things to know that the movies won't tell you.

Ladies u should watch Prey which is the prequel to this. Just as good to

17:23 "oh, the eyes!" -jyn x ryl 😮

I really hope you watch the prequal to this Prey, it's really good

It's a real treat watching you two react to a guy's movie, I love it. I mean you really get into their heads the characters heads. I used to just watch it and enjoy but with you all explaining Technics mindsets reasons why, wow. I'm hooked, what's next?

Ryl is cute😊

it's weird that there are 2 future state governor's in this movie

Arnold dominated the action movies of the 80s. It was a challenge to find a good worthy adversary since Arnold was always so much bigger and stronger 💪 than his opponents. As the audience, we never questioned who would win. However, Predator was different. There's a point where you actually questioned if Arnold would make it out alive! It certainly helps to have 7' 3" tall actor Kevin Peter Hall to play the Predator! Fun fact: Kevin Peter Hall also played Bigfoot in the charming family film Harry and the Henderson's! -OG

That was bamboo, always fresh water in bamboo.

IMO, Prey is the best in the series other than the original

Comment

And so Arnold defeated the Predator! Great movie. There's a sequel with Danny Glover. Pretty good, too. Thanks for a great watching experience with you...as usual!

Billy the tracker is a native American of which there are many good trackers. Some even help train Military Special Forces in tracking skills.

I personally really like the second movie. It has a lot of detractors, and I don't think it's entirely unearned, but I think it isn't trying to tell the same story as this movie, and that's the biggest stumbling block. The characterization of the Predators are also quite different; this one was more careful, methodical; the one in the second movie is a _jerk,_ taunting his prey almost cruelly. As for this one,as usual, Ryl twigged onto most of the important points. The Predator doesn't hunt "just because", though; he hunts because it's a part of his culture. You can see how his prey is carefully selected, and which become his trophies is an even more careful selection. These aren't the actions of someone hunting just for kicks or for boredom. What it exactly means is up for debate, but I think the second movie does a pretty good job expanding on all of that without making the Predator less scary. Incidentally, there _is_ a very well-regarded extended universe in the comics and novelizations that really go into their culture and just what hunting "means", though they aren't canon. Even so, I really like them; my favorite is the novelization _Alien vs Predator: Prey_ by Stephen and Stephanie Perry, but really, the extended universe really lives up to the "extended" part.

Random thoughts, with no regard to official lore: the Predator is, first and last, a trophy hunter. It uses mimicry to lure its prey, like human hunters using duck or elk calls. It is proud and sportsmanlike-- to a point. It is also petty and cruel. The more I think about it, the more this film reminds me exactly of human trophy hunters.

Great movie ladies and GET TO DA CHOPPA!!!

True Lies…. next please!!!

Why would you look? Are you a bird?😂😂😂😂😂😂

30:04 "He Literally Kicked It Away From Her And Told Her To Run" Earlier she'd tried to grab Poncho's gun and Dutch told her to leave it, because the Predator didn't target her because she wasn't armed, citing that killing her despite being unarmed as "No Sport"

Predator mimicking and taunting Dutch's men is not only intimidating 😳 but downright scary! Especially when the Predator uses Billy's laugh at the end of the film before the Predator nuked himself! -OG

So enjoyed, your reaction,..Predator, I love the part where, he's so impressed with Dutch, not only surviving, unlike all the other soldiers,(like you said highly skilled soldiers, the kind you can drop anywhere, and they usually accomplish the mission, without even being detected)but his clever tactics, drawing him out and unlike Predator with all his tech, sophisticated camouflage, he was able to sneak around undetected, and like Predator observe his prey, his opponent, and Predator accepted this as formidable enough, for a challenge, Dutch you could say, acquired some Predator street cred😉, he dumped all his tech, his advantages, and met Dutch, like you said, as a man,..hand to hand combat,..and you know, as someone else mentioned, for Predator, this is a coming of age exercise for his species, to prove their fully capable adult warriors,..and to me, Predator's hand to hand bare knuckles fight with Dutch, is a more a proof of his coming into if you will adult manhood,..Dutch above all the rest, was a formidable adversary,...even though Predator had all this tech in the beginning, and is huh, of bigger stature, it still came down to how he faired, in a real fight,..face to face,..when me and friends went to see this, we couldn't believe the whole premise of it,...there was a movie, old, black and white, Invisible Invaders?,..John Carradine is in it,.where aliens come to Earth, and sneak around, observe humans at first, but in this case, merge, or take over human's bodies,..but Predator was far more sophisticated than that, and I don't know if it was said by the director, but,..someone from the movie, in a behind the scenes doc, said actual "government " types came to them, asking them how they got this idea, of this camouflaged alien, because he's not actually Invisible,..it's something about refractive light?,.I have no idea about the science of it,..I'm a nerd, but not that smart a nerd,..and it seems to me if government types took the time to visit a movie set, about fictional story,..they must be working on something similar, trying to,..there's a saying,.."life imitates art,..or art imitates life", don't know who said it, I think it swings both ways,..years after Aliens,..there was a story on 60 minutes, or some news show about a new apparatus, developed by the military, that a soldier could strap on,..looks more like what Matt Damon had on in Elysium movie, but this story was before that, but after Aliens, and it supposedly helped the wearer lift heavy objects, like Ripley, loading that huge box, or in the background of her doing that you see a guy lifting, carrying a missile in Aliens movie, and when I saw this news story, I couldn't believe it,..it was like it was becoming a reality,..movies, man look at how Star Trek is inspiring up an coming scientists,..love scifi, even scifi horror, can get you thinking, turns out, watching TV, movies, doesn't rot your brain😁,..ohh an your pronouncing "trophy",..I know it's because of your accent, I mean no disrespect, ever,....my mom is from Louisiana,..to this day she carries that accent,..and it's a little cute and funny, but she cannot pronounce the word organic,..she says "organza",..I don't know why, guess it's her accent,..Creole, French,...loved your reaction, do keep going, Godspeed, Peace ✌

Raiders of the Lost Ark

5.39 he was an American Indian..... I don't have to explain much. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

First time watching ??😁😂😂 I dont think so .....😂😂 Just shut up ....and watch !!!😁😁

32:40 if you want a more romantic predator, you' should definitely watch the 2004 Alien Vs Predator movie 🤣. Honestly alot of fun tho alot more schlocky in comparison to the source movies

Imagine you've just watched Predator for the first time. It's a great film, satisfying in it's own right, and yet there are mysteries surrounding it. The alien has no name. We know nothing of its planet but we can guess a few things about it from what we see in the film. There's room for your imagination to wander. And then the expert on imaginary anthropology stands up and sayd "Actually, the Yautja are a fascinating species." Just stop, guys, come on. None of that is in this film and it's better off for it. Leave some room for mystery. The series went to shit the moment we knew too much and now you guys are spreading that over to the first film. You guys are doing to Predator what Rob Zombie did to Halloween. Just let it be what it is.

To the beautiful ladies I'd recommend watching "Predator 2" and "Prey" after this classic. All other Predator movies aren't that great unfortunately. Great reaction!

The Predator actor was Kevin Peter Hall, 7 feet 2 inches. He was a young black man that was always smiling, even with that heavy suit on. They would take off the mask for water or to wipe his face.

This movie is a great metaphor for the brutality of hunting, but I always thought the Predator should have been a tiny little guy, that would have been a better metaphor in my opinion. A tiny little bastard with superior tech who would be nothing and a weakling without it. A bit like those assholes that go hunting cheetahs and elephants with camouflage, vehicles and giant guns. Even so...pretty great movie and you two are so much fun to watch experiencing these old movies for the first time... thanks for sharing this with us.

Has anyone suggested Arnie's Commando movie?...classic!!!

The fact there's so much awesome lore regarding those aliens and yet they consistently failed to touch on any of that successfully is a shame. Out of all the movies that got 10 sequels this is one that actually should have for no other reason than world building.

not them talking about Predator insecurities lol if someone says you're ugly you can say well I can shoot lasers and go invisible and I have dreads LOL

you would love "Prey"

⛄ 🔪

Apparently, im in the minority that feels like the predator movies get better and better. 2 had a city environment and lore, avp and its sequel offer up a ton of lore. And prey and the others have amazing effects and story. It is a very good franchise.

Do Predator 2!!!

There’re 5 Predator movies Predator 1987 Predator 2 1990 Predators 2010 The Predator 2018 Prey 2022

Vcs da geração atual vejam a qualidade que era feita os filmes com computação gráfica na década de 80 e em termos de realismo tudo era superior.

You girls figured things out quicker than I did when I first watched this movie. Nice going!

Can't wait until you do Predator 2 and Alien Vs. Predator. That laugh at the end was actually Billy's laugh. It just copied it. Great movie and reaction video. Hi Jyn.

The Predator didn't attack the base because he can only attack his prey one at a time in a remote location where the other prey wouldn't notice. The way a lion pack attack a bison or dear when it is isolated from its herd.

Does anyone see the woman above Jyns head ?

Machine gun gatling is very speed : 30 bullets/s!!!!

Jyn ur so prity ❤❤

The new Predators is now showing Lulu channel if you can find it.

Virtual hug to Jyn & Ryl🫂

The blast at arnold hit his rifle and he caught the shrapnel, if you were wondering why he didn't loose his arm like dillon did.

The only none sh*t Predator films after this are Predators and Prey, imo.

The pilot in the helicopter at the end was the guy in the predator suit.

Another reaction without the end credits,btw the end credits is great.

Ryl, i'm love with you! Congrats to both from Spain

I can see the two of you in a fan film about the Predator.

when it comes to this franchise this is the best movie to start with

The "great tracker" guy is American Indian. That's why he's so good at tracking and sensing things. They are taught to track animals footprints hear the slightest movement from when they're kids.

36:58 "No! Put it back _on!"_ 😆😆😆

You both need to watch Predator vs Alien.

Their reaction to when he takes of his mask 😂😂

Predator ties into aliens also Promithius.

9:00 "but where are the hostages?" -ryl 😆

Adorable Ladies! 💞💞 #classicmovie 🥳🥳

You have to do the movie, "Prey". It's the newest predator movie and it is awesome. I love you two young ladies. You are very sweet and funny.
