Predator Review 

Predator is probably one of the Manliest movies out there

Holy crap, I never realized that Carl Weathers, Jesse Ventura, and Arnold Schwarzenegger all went on to be politicians, and they were all in Predator.

GODDAMN SEXUAL TYRANNOSAURUS!!!!

Fun fact: in the 1st film, the Predator’s “voice” (the vocal clicks, etc.) is provided by Peter Cullen a.k.a Optimus Prime from the G1 Transformers cartoon

Potentially interesting fact: The chopper pilot at the end of the movie, played by Kevin Peter Hall, also played the role of the predator.

My dad showed me this movie when I was 6. I had nightmares for weeks. I saw it around Christmas time and one of the ornaments on our tree had these 3 red balls in a triangle on it. At night they would glow a little and it looked like the laser sights the predator uses and it scared the shit out of me.

Note how this movie was incredibly diverse too - 3 African American Actors incl. The Predator, 2 Native American Actors, An Hispanic Actress. And no political agenda! Just a damn good movie!

Of all the logic said in this video, I laughed the hardest at the JackSepticEye kills Billy joke.

16:36 the Predator already saw their penchant for violence when they destroyed the enemy camp, so even Dutch's team did lose their weapons, it would still hunt them.

I think the (almost) best part of this movie is Arnolds face in the very last scene in the chopper, he looks so damaged after all that manly man macho bullshit in the start of the movie. It really adds depth to what the character went thru in this movie and how it probably traumatized him in the end, all of his squad is dead and he only survived because he was lucky. Usually these kind of movies would end so that the hero gets the girl and everything is good, not in this movie. This is one of my all time favorite films, even with a ton of flaws. Thanks for the funny review.

Kevin Peter Hall (May 9, 1955 - April 10, 1991) RIP Kevin, I haven't seen anyone mention this in any of the movie reviews I've seen. A gentle giant I would have been honored to know.

That handshake/arm wrestling was so manly that they split an atom during the scene. Decker I have see Predator before, it's one of the first movies I watched when I was a kid.

The whole Predator story is a cover up, see? What really happened was that Dutch accidentally killed his entire team with the horrible gun safety and the brass just couldn't bear to admit it, hence the cover story of an advanced alien hunter, which seemed more believable than trained soldiers not knowing basic gun handling.............. :D

This is my all time favorite movie. So much raw stupid testosterone thrown at the screen. Brilliance

Rest in peace Sonny. Died off screen for real last year.

Those of you who don't know, Peter Cullen did the vocal effects for The Predator. Yes, the same Peter Cullen behind the voice of Optimus Prime.

Very small nitpick. Dutch threw his grenade at the fuel dump. That was the gas exploding.

Arnold was the action movie king.

3:26 GODDAMN SEXUAL TYRANNOSAURUS!!!! Love that line.

Nice to watch a post "Hellraiser" pallet cleanser. I loved the pointing out of the gun safety I had never noticed that before. I wonder now if they were alumni from the the Dick Cheney School of Weapon Handling?

Probably the best Predator movie.

lol, Rambo Meets E.T that should've been predator 3

Jacksepticeye killed Billy! OF COURSE!!!!!

Also noticed she has perfectly manicured nails in the jungle.

"An ass.. an expandable ass" It's been 6 years but holy shit that's still hilarious

Wait a minute, you skipped the "I ain't got time to bleed part." part... But, but that's the best part :D

If I heard correctly especially in environments like they are in, plus Vietnam and other foliage dense areas- what they did(while maybe a BIT overkill) is a legitimate tactical technique referred to as "Recon by fire", which is basically "We are taking fire, we can't see shit, but have a half decent idea the direction it came from. Fire into that direction until the enemy dies or attempts to flee, then you have a clearer target to fire at".

love that a plasma caster shot can core Blaine like a donut and yet Dutch takes a hit to the shoulder has some bloody sweat and runs it off

I’m physically pained by his face slaps , the man commits to a bit . Respect ✊

I've seen the concept design artwork of the Predator. The Predator had blue skin and four arms. The design was really cool. I like the original design was awesome!

Decker the rebels don't have heat seeking missiles it's implied that the chopper was taken down by the predator's shoulder cannon, and the reason he doesn't use that to kill Dutch is because while hunting the shoulder cannon is the last thing they would use as it's seen by the predator's as dishonorable or easy

You Do listen to our comments!! I remember watching your other pedator review and wanted more and you SIR delivered.

I could watch Predator ALL day long!

Love the Jurassic Park reference

I'm having a Mandela effect moment. I distinctly remember Decker waving at the camera when he says "hope you liked it."

COMPLETELY LOST COMPOSURE FROM LAUGHING AFTER 5:05

I'm so happy that he points out that grenades don't actually explode.

I'm surprised you didn't mention how unrealistic the whole concept of carrying a mini gun and firing it from the hip is, considering how critics of all the other details you were, regarding the action.

There's a perk for the gunzerker in Borderlands 2 called sexual tyrannosaurus. Seems the folks at Gearbox software are also predator fans. Good review, Decker. You picked this movie apart in ways I've never thought about.

Hey man, one horror movie I'd like to see you review is Eden Lake. It's a British film, and quite realistic. It's about a couple that goes to a quarry for a getaway, where the guy is going to propose. But things go wrong when some local teens show up and an argument takes place between them and the couple, and one of the teen's dog is accidentally killed. The teens go after the couple and things get super serious. And the ending is so good, but one of those endings that makes it hard to watch the film again.

A Glorious science fiction battle between a advanced mysterious hunter form beyond the stars vs earths deadliest warriors who needs or the first time need to use their Brian’s instead of their brawn.

Fun fact: Arnold was originally supposed to be John McClane but they went with Bruce Willis.

Van Damme refusing to be in a lobster suit(yes. That's what we were gonna get originally) because it's stupid only for them to make a badass suit after they replace him is kinda funny. Van Damme the diva got a stupid suit and Kevin the apparently really nice dude got an awesome one. There's a lesson about not being a diva, lol

As the Critical Drinker said, it switches from action to horror to survival story seamlessly

Ah, Decker... There is no better way to start off my Wednesday morning than with a new review from you. :D In fact, it's one of the things I look forward to the most every week. ;)

Man I remember seeing when this was first uploaded. I can't believe it's been so long.

This movie is fucking awesome. I think it's a lot better than Alien. Yeah, sue me. Go ahead.

Oh, no doubt it has already been said before in a dozen other comments since this video was uploaded, but still: 2:28 - That is the manliest greeting ritual ever made between two dudes in the history of ever.

“This is new to you? Welcome, to the Military.” Thanks, for the pithy and true observation.

Sexual Tyrannosaurus...holy shit...

Fun Fact: Arnold's character, Dutch Shafer, does return in the arcade game Aliens vs. Predator, and the likeness is very much like Arnie

"That'll be a waste of a good action set". 😂 O.T. - she takes a rifle butt to her face from Arnold with no blood, broken nose, etc.

Predator saw into the future, saw what Shane Black was going to do to the Predator franchise and killed him first.

it was actually very difficult for them to get permission to have Sonny play in the film, they wouldn't let them unless they got a body guard, not for Sonny, for everyone else, and so it was annoying having to follow Sonny on set all the time to make sure nothing goes wrong

Idk why but I love how the actor delivers his line at 13:17

Hoping you'll do some more video game play-throughs. You should do Predator: Concrete Jungle. It is a REALLY underrated game, and has a surprisingly good story.

The one thing that bothered me in this film , was the "girl" they captured would have had a totally busted/broken face/head, from ARNOLD SWARTZENEGGER 6'2" 240lb body-builder hitting a little female full force in the face with an M-16 rifle butt. How she was just "knocked down" from that without a mark ? LOL Made no sense

14:49 and here comes one of my favorite motivational songs.

I like that you put jack in there!!

Hahaha love the jack thing there good work decker

After 6 years I still can't find the self destructive capabilities app

10:55 I was ACTUALLY FIVE when I first saw this movie and even I thought what Dillon said here was ridiculous.

Why is it when something or someone goes missing in these in these movies it's always the camera man that finds everything😂

16:22 when he says this, is it a joke? Because I always thought Billy skull was taken as a trophy a few scenes later.

I came here after The Predator review, I remember when these movies were amazing and Decker and arguably everyone else could enjoy

GO! Get to the choppa!

You fucked up man, giving this movie 4 out of 5. Never in the history of movie making has a movie deserved 5 out of 5 more. It is a fucking 6 out of 5. AND the movie is perfect in every understanding of the word.

Love this movie, but once Arnie realized the mud made him invisible, wouldn't he just cover himself in mud and stroll leisurely to the choppa?

Id love you to review 'Braindead' classic Australian movie that fits in with your niche

When this video doesn't start with Hello world wide web, this is decker shado, the internet personality with the best hair. And this time on THE SUMMER OF ARNOLD SWARZCHNEGGER!!!!

Highly flawed??? Not to me. Small amount of flaws in this movie. Predator 2 is what I'd call flawed (Mostly in terms of some editing and continuity goofs and inconsistencies with certain things), but still a good movie and underrated, though not as good as the original. Here's hoping Shane Black's The Predator will be at least as good as Predator 2...

The reasons why they wouldn't just waste the girl, is because while she could have valuable information, she could also have ran for it when she had the chance bit didn't And while she similarly could have just killed them all in their sleep, or also ran for it, she knew her chances of survival were drastically improved with the muscley muscle men who have the biggest guns And it seems that there's a rule for Schwarzenegger films, which there absolutely needs to be a woman who has to survive (partially) unharmed, even if he's character dies

Why didn't decker bring up the fact that Mack's gun Isn't casually carried around and is usually mounted on vehicles

There is no perfect movie Predator is a classic

13:41 "Mac is here to stab the ever loving fuck...out of Porky."

i just bought predator on blu ray yesterday

Nice Jacksepticeye reference lad

I saw this when it first came out, five months later, deployed to Panama.

Alright I know that this is not really important but Anna's gun is a Walther PP and the Yautja's shoulder cannon is known as a Plasmacaster.

The map in the opening of the film is a sectional area chart of Brazil, showing the C-130 lost contact over the Chapada das Mangabeiras mountains in central Brazil.

I love your reviews. But in this one, I PARTICULARLY loved your reference to Jacksepticeye!

Decker you forgot the part where Billy had a bodyguard on set. Not for himself, but for the others.

why don't you have 1 million subs yet your one of the best reviewers on RU-vid

hey decker what are your thoughts on predator dark age's? its a fan film .

If you're still looking for AVP comics, you can try their AVP Omnibuses by Dark Horse

The predator doesn’t attack unarmed humans. Except for Pancho.

Never noticed this before but at 9:37-9:38 you can actually see one of the dead guys move his leg in the back. With the amount of times I have watched this movie this is the first time i notice this.

fun fact the voice of predator is actually the voice of Optimus prime from the transformers movies he actually came up with the iconic growl by seeing a dead crab gurgling blood when he was a kid so he voiced this wet gurgling as he would imagine the sound would be and funny enough the whole time he was making the voice the director and crew couldn't hear him until they physical walked right up to him while doing the sounds

Eeeeeee.!!!Love this video! !!! And decker shado!!!! I am now a VERY happy yautja fangirl!

In the words of Cinemasins "No movie is without sin."

2:58 This man did not just refer to Little Richard as "honky tonk".

Pancho always struck me as the second in command, not the “extra guy”. Shane Black was the extra guy.

Good review as usual. One thing though. Is it really general Hopper? Because I have been call him Jim for a few decades. So I am really hoping that was a error. If not. It's pretty damn impressive they were able to hide the fact a general was missing. And was probably the actual reason they were there. not some cabinet minister.

Dutch and friends, that might have been a competitor for the movie title

Wait... Jacksepticeye AND gorillaz reference in a decker shadow video?! MY LIFE IS FUCKING COMPLETE!!

decker your the only one that makes me pmsl at my fav movies and i love your long hair i'm your biggest fan

Predator turns 35 today! The jock of science-fiction movies you can call it It's the best one next to the 2010 reboot Made $59 million on a $15 million budget It actually opened to negative reviews originally when it was released Directed by John McTiernan who also did Die Hard 2 Love how original the idea is of an alien hunter stalking and killing for sport than can't be seen Again it takes over an hour to get things going but it's a thrill ride One of Arnold Schwarzenegger's most memorable flicks with some catchy one-liners and ultra violence despite the casual misogyny and homophobia Amazing they got wrestler Jesse Ventura and future-director Shane Black in the cast , stinks Sonny Landham passed away 5 years ago The masculine facade cleverly disguises the efficient storytelling It's the meaty symbol of friendship among these men that holds it together next to the action and slick effects Love Alan Silvestri's score Stinks the sequel failed to live up to it and the AVP movies haven't measured up I'm really hoping Prey lives up to the original's legacy this august on Hulu Next month the marvel comics event for the franchise is happening, it got delayed apparently due to franchise rights in legal issues

I saw where Van Damm wussed out during the first scenes of the movie.

6:21. *Mission failed. We’ll get’em next time.*

anybody think of the fact... Fresh corpses don't smell very much
