Yeah because the Predator's camouflage doesn't work on bears, which have poor eyesight to begin with and a powerful sense of smell It's a genius scene!
The predator could throw the grizzly around that should have been an indicator on how strong the predator really is. The bear did much better than I thought it would
@@ryleytrudel8341 Yeah, North-American Grizzly Bears are like 350-400 kg and the Predator threw it with minimal effort. Not even a fuckin Silverback could do that.
@@Robert_00099to be fair there is pretty much no way a silverback would beat a large brown bear or polar bear 1V1. Bears are just too much of a monster for a gorilla
@@antestanic2964John Leary said this is how some aliens absorb their food through rubbing the blood on the skin. Which is why when they mutilate cows it’s just drained of blood nothing else
I’m so glad that they didn’t make the bear look weak just because it’s a predator movie . If the bear would have kept going, he probably would have won.
@@benzelwasington4059 I don`t think he held back, he just adapted. " I can`t take this beast up close so let it rush and I`ll break his jaw. " just like he underestimated humans capability to think and adapt. It`s an awesome movie but It could`ve been so much better with changes in the story and less of flashy Hollywood. Her brother gets killed and all she wants is approval from her parents for killing the predator. If your sibling died today how would you feel, if you have siblings?! fun movie, like i said, but could`ve done so much better.
Thats what I kept hoping for...the bear is stronger than the Predator, but the Predator is smarter...Im just glad to see the Predator didnt cheat at a fight with its weapons
@@antestanic2964Nah, she did show some care for her brother dying. She acknowledged it when she caught the European guy and cut off an appendage, one as payback for what they did to her brother, and two to lure the predator in so she could kill it.
What made prey so amazing is how this Predator seemed so arrogant. It underestimates some of it's prey. The snake was a test, the wolf he got cocky. The bear was a complete underestimation. But it adapted to them.
What no one mentions is that for the Native Americans the Grizzly bear is basically their "god", in size and strength. Like the sandworm in Dune. She's watching her god be wrestled with and punched to death, lifted up by a superior creature that then bathes with its blood. The movie is worth watching just for this scene alone.
Indigenous from NORTH America, because a bear does not meaning anything for indigenous people from Central and South America (that its animal soul are the jaguar and the puma, not an F bear).
@@insomniatw The Yautja switched tactics. He clearly saw that a long, drawn out, fight with a bear wasn't going to work out, and so he switched to quick hits to weak spots.
@@insomniatwEhhhh the bear woulda won imo if it didn’t walk away after supposedly killing the predator, which it realistically wouldn’t have as bears can feel heartbeats and breathing with the keen senses of their own. The predator probably would’ve won quicker if it was used to fighting bears and knew to start the fight seriously, but in this scenario when the bear gets the predator down realistically it’s not gonna just walk away and assume it killed it just because it stops moving.
@@BermudaHawk47the bear walked away because it sensed the strength of the predator and didn’t think the conflict was primally worth it. Bears usually don’t do that unless they sense they may be outmatched lol. The predator got caught off guard because bears fight on 2 legs and this predator didn’t realize that until he got pinned and bit by a heavier beast a few times. That bear turned around to give itself a chance to survive. Not the predator. When the predator stood up the bear ran back knowing it couldn’t outrun a lighter, quicker and superior being. The advantage the bear had was weight and slow twitch muscle + it could take more hits in non- vital spots. The predator had a higher IQ, higher damage output in short spurts of twitch movement, and was more versatile all around. It also was smart enough to sense where the bear was weak and break it before he took too much damage to hunt humans
You know what's an understated awesome thing about this scene? The sound! Everyone talks about that sucker punch but really the entire sound design of the fight is on point. From the fearsome roars of the bear, to the heavy thud as these two hunters clash as the fight starts. It's as mesmerizing as it is badass!
I said to myself “What the fuck did he do?!” when the Predator did that. Cuz there’s no way he could have oneshotted a fucking grizzly bear from the get-go
The thing is though in Yautja culture, humans are considered the hardest Prey of all... just not all the time. We might be weaker than most other aliens, animals or whatever, but no other being share our ability to adapt to things and invent new ways of fighting and very quickly too I should add. That's why only experienced predators are sent to hunt humans from the get-go. This one was an unblooded one who was expected to work his way up the challenge ladder before going against humans.
@@arcotroll8530 Thing about that is, you're certainly giving humans far too much credit here, more than they even deserve in actual fact. You claim that "no other being shares our ability to adapt to things and learn new ways of fighting very quickly too I should add", but that's so much more of an arrogantly biased opinion at best because the truth of the matter is, there actually are other beings that possess that same ability/capacity for adaptive learning on/to either an equal or an outright superior level/degree such as the Yautja/Predators for example. If humans were considered the "hardest" or "most challenging" Prey of all, then The Feral Predator and even other Predators in the franchise wouldn't have been able to kill/murder/slaughter so many of 'em so easily to begin with. So yeah man, for all of the "quick adapting and learning" that humans are supposedly capable of, they sure do seem to fall far behind and come up short each and every time pretty much. *PLOT ARMOR* is humanity's best friend in the Predator franchise.... *remember that!.*
@@alsimmons4504 In case you did not notice the vast majority of the Predators that went against humans has died, even when they were hunting in a group such as in Predators. And I never said that it has to be a single human who does the deed. Just because a Predator hunts and kills 1,2, or 10 humans of a group he's hunting (And Predators ALWAYS target human groups that are sure to present a challenge, such as soldiers, not individuals and not humans in a general sense), if he dies from the last human standing (As in the case of Alan Schaeffer in Predator 1) then the humans still won. The only Predator that was still alive in the end was in AVP 1, that is, as you know, of dubious canonicity and, at any rate he's the last of his band standing in the end, in a mission mostly targeting Xenos with humans as only an afterthought. And as long as we haven't seen the Predators hunting other intelligent aliens in any media, they don't count (Aliens have animal cunning, but they aren't sentient, except perhaps the queens)
@@arcotroll8530 Nice try there, but no dude. Because in case YOU haven't noticed, the percentage of humans that have died against the Predators compared to the opposite is far FAR greater in actuality. Virtually all throughout the entire franchise, Predators have absolutely *washed* humans as if they were nothing (which they aren't anyway lol) and don't even get me started on just how insanely deadly and effective the Predators have demonstrated their skills/abilities against humans either. Regardless of what you said/didn't say, there are SEVERAL reasons for why only *certain* humans manage to survive an encounter with a Predator period (luck and plot armor being two of the biggest, main reasons) and also, don't be so arrogant as to believe that just because there's *one* human left standing after encountering a Predator (through sheer luck and plot armor as previously mentioned) that that somehow means that the humans still won either, *A* human, just *A* human luckily won, but not humanS in general, let's just get that straight real quick. Also, the Predator at the end of AVP 1 wasn't left alive in the end either, it died from having the Predalien burst out of its chest as a "chestburster" (go rewatch the movie again) and actually, in regards to the Predators' hunting habits/techniques/methods, they strive to adapt to any combat situation presented to them so if that means having to hunt a lone individual that can present that they feel can present a challenge or even a human that's just a regular civilian that tried to attack them, then *that's* what they'll do since we also have to bear in mind that despite their code of honor, Predators WILL CERTAINLY ALWAYS attack whenever they're threatened/provoked for any reason as well. And also, since we actually have seen Predators hunting intelligent aliens in media (the Xenomorphs duh lol), they in fact DO count (the Aliens actually do possess a degree of sentience and intelligence to realize that they can use their blood to their advantage and how to operate machinery by observation and it's not just the Queens that are capable of that either). I know you WANT the humans to realistically have any sort of chance against a race/species of technologically-advanced aliens with superhuman capabilities, but without copious amounts of "plot armor" available to those humans, they ultimately are nothing more than merely *EASY Prey* for the Yautja/Predators otherwise.
@@arcotroll8530 If I remember correctly, the hardest pray for predators are Engineers, the one that create humans and xenos, here is the order: 1.- Engineer 2.- Xeno (Biologic weapon created to destroyed worlds.... in the end destroy the engineers) Humans are easy, just few are woth to be recognized.
People forget how much force it takes to rip someone’s spine out and to punch a concrete wall with ease. He also lifted the bear easily. They’re much stronger.
If this was a polar bear the result may have been different imo. The fact the grizzly was able to follow it’s movement even with its cloaking ability is impressive !
Remember that bears are essentially giant canines, meaning they have a similar sense of smell to canines, like dogs. So even if it couldn't see the Predator, it could smell it. The same way the coyote did earlier in the movie.
They smell better than dogs equal to the way the dogs smell better than humans. And with specific predator, I do believe a polar bear would win. It's the tallest and heaviest land predator and is literally %100 Carnivorous.
Yeah that was just your good old classic North-American Grizzly Bear which are still pretty strong for their kind but definitely not in the Top 8-5 of all Bear species.
I love this fight so much. You can literally watch the Predator learn as he fights it. He starts off thinking it’s quadrapedal but can use it’s claws to scratch so he goes in for Fisticuffs, only for it to stand up on its hind legs, so he decides to force it down instead. He goes in to grapple it, but the bear goes to bear hug him and bites at the same time. The bear tries to over power Feral and force him into the ground, but he manages to back pedal enough that the bear doesn’t absolutely crush him with its bulk. Still having his hand on the bear, Feral decides to force him onto the ground with a Suplex. On the ground=no tackling Unfortunately, bear stands up really quickly (Because the Predator actually uppercuts it) and goes in for the exact same move, but with the different body placements, the bear is able to get up to his height and start crushing the Feral down. And here, the Bears sheer bulk and weight forces Feral down. He realizes that he can’t win from that position, so he lets it build distance, standa up, and realizes that this thing can take much more of a beating
Pretty sure this Predator would be adolescent age. If adolescent Predators are strong enough for that, imagine what Scarface or Wolf Predator could do they're elites and experienced veteran hunters that have survived numerous dangerous hunts
This actually happened, skin walker tried to kill a Sasquatch, mortally wounding the squatch but the squatch just pulled its head off before bleeding to death. Allegedly.
I like how most people thought this movie would flop and all for various reasons, but we all know it would have made a lot if it was released in theaters. Much better then the 2018 film which was...whatever the heck that was supposed to be.
Yeah, the 2018 movie was godawful. This one, on the other hand, was pretty awesome. Watching the Predator square up against Native Americans was pretty rad.
It flopped in the sense that it wasn't released on theatres as it should've been. Blame Disney for that. But public reception was very positive and it got a lot of good reviews from critics. It basically saved the franchise after the disastrous 2018 movie.
In my opinion, i feel like if the predator wasn't invisible, the bear would go straight for the jugular ending the fight quickly. Such a sick scene and an Awsome fight
I don't think so. Bears are so used to being the biggest, strongest thing around, they don't really know or care to go for immediate kill shots. A Tiger would have, but a Bear, probably not tbh.
It's such a Misandrist rhetoric that defies logic. People who say they prefer a bear over a man in the woods have never seen a bear, nor do they think about the situation logically.
Xenomorph kills low diff. There is literally nothing a bear can do, any damage it does to the Xenomorph it ends with the bear losing half it's mouth/paws due to the acid.
This Yautja was a either a Bad Blood or problably a Young Blood he had no honor at all. Tabee kicked his ass and he immediatly used his camo he made the same with this bear. Stayed camouflaged instead of fighting on equal terms.
But the predator put itself at a disadvantage by not using everything it had in the fight, while the opposing party threw in everything they had. If it was a truly equal terms fight, the predator would just blasted everything from orbit and go home. The predator has no obligation to lower itself to the capabilities of some other species.
I don’t see why people thought the bear was going to win. The predator threw the bear off of him…and after the bear charged and tacked him…he got back up and one shotted the bear….bear had no chance
The problem I have with this movie is how quickly the Yautja's wounds disappear and are forgotten, when in previous films, the wounds remained until the Creature used his medical kit. This movie is FULL of moments where the Predator bleeds, and yet, there is no wound seconds later. Such as when the bear clearly spills a large amount green blood from first his claws and then his jaws when he thinks he won and prepares to walk away.
Tell us you've never seen a bear up close without telling us you've never seen a bear up close. It had an obvious size advantage & clearly wounded the predator more than once.
It would definitely be more dangerous for the Predator if it landed in Alaska or fought a Polar Bear because Bears are fuckin tanks over there. This Bear looked like a standard North-American Grizzly adult which are like 400-500 kilos, 10 feet tall when standing. In Alaska, there like 2x the weight, roughly reaching 750-850kg and also are a few inches taller.
That Grizzly would have realistically done much more damage to that Predator. Imagine Predator being victorious over the Bear while he's bleeding, Skin torn off & Having Claw Injures on his body. That would have been a better outcome for the brief Fight.
Normally I would disagree with this type of assessment, but the idea of the Predator getting some more gnarly battle scars from this fight sounds amazing so I'll agree.
The predator is made of scales and built purely for killing to the max form for its genome type. I think if anything they made the predator look too weak. In the comics, a much physically smaller predator almost beats a bear twice this size up close and barely used a blade. The predator fled but the fact it was so close makes me think this should’ve been a blowout. Predator should’ve won low diff. The bear in the comics was indicated to be almost the size of a short faced bear and the predator in it was only 2/3 of this one’s size
I was very hesitant to give this movie a chance, but I’m so glad I did. This scene was so awesome. This one and the 2010 version are by far the best in the series since the original
They gave this bear some justice, literally put up a decent fight with a god damn outer space alien with inhumane strength and speed. Honestly we should give props to this bear
I might be giving the movie makers too much credit, but I like to think the Yautja have encountered Earth’s bears before, the predator could have easily sliced or blasted the bear, but he chose to wrestle it. And bears are known to be the most skilled natural wrestlers
I personally believe the bear could have won the encounter if it checked on the Predator's body before trying to leave, or if it could close the distance faster without the Predator being able to react. I mean, it honestly seemes to put some really good hits on the young Yautjam
The bear has size on the predator but strength is another thing u have to think about, the bear used it’s size and weight to pin the predator but the predator race are meant to hunt anything and everything. Honestly I was rooting for the bear but watching this and knowing this is the weakest predator ever, it does make you think what can the other stronger predators can do to a dear face to face, and one more thing who else hated the ending of this movie? They nerfed his ass sooo bad
Loved reading the fan boy arguments. Let’s be clear, the Bear would have killed the Predator if it kept mauling him while he had the advantage . Walking away allowed the Predator to regroup and try a new approach, having gauged the bears speed, weight and knowing a timed pinch combined with the bears momentum would be enough.
Nah, the bear wouldn't have won. In case you missed it, the Yautja literally broke his neck with a punch and deadlifted its body like if it was nothing. The Yautja was miles above the bear in strength, he was just playing around with it at the start, they are notoriously known for playing with their prey. The bear didn't even do any significant damage to the Yautja as he is able to lift the body, so that means that none of his arms were broken when it was mauling him. Furthermore, you seem to miss the fact that the Yautja used nothing but his *bare hands* to fight this bear. In the hypothetical case that the bear was too much for him, he could have used his wristblades to gut or slice its neck. If you think the bear stood any chance to come out of this alive you haven't been paying attention. Try to call me "fanboy" when I just used facts provided by the movie itself.
@@warchiefvenomn7612 😅😅😅 Nah, the bear had the advantage, he walked away because he thought he’d done enough to kill any normal animal that size. If he’d carried on using his weight advantage while the Predator was pinned down and unable to move/use his weapons, the bear would have found vulnerable parts even by accident. Game over man/fan boy.
People in the comments saying that if the bear continued to maul the predator, the movie would've ended. Brother, it's clear as day that the predator isn't even remotely trying his hardest. When have we ever seen a predator go full head on against something as big and powerful as a grizzly with just it's hands and no gadgets? Not to mention, he still has his weapons, so the worst situation is the bear is genuinely gonna win, and the pred actually gets serious and demolishes the bear. Not to mention, the pred threw the bear, something thats AT LEAST 600 lbs like it was a ragdoll. Besides, are we seriously overlooking the fact that the predator ONE shot the bear with one hand and killed it? The bear meanwhile had the predator's shoulder and neck in it's mouth, yet didn't even seem to make a slight difference. The pred simply wanted to see if this beast bigger than him could put up a better fight. This was the same situation as the wolf. You seriously think if the wolf continued to maul the predator's leg, he'd win? Or that he would get that good of a bite? The predator was just curious about the wolf until it bit him in the leg. Then he made a trophy out of it. Same situation with the bear. This predator is just overly ambitious and cocky, until it's time to get serious.
What?? Danny Glover was a middle aged, out of shape cop & he literally chased one down & killed it w/ his own weapon. Yes, Arnold definitely set a standard, but to say NO ONE came close is just ridiculous.
Honestly, I love how they show the Predator isn't invincible. The bear lays a pretty good smackdown on it at first and if things had gone slightly differently, it might have killed it. That's what makes it so much more satisfying and earned when the Predator does win- it isn't this god that's untouchable until the final act, it's a hunter that learns and adapts to his prey.
@@gamingninjas9688 Ik, i was talking about the Predator because he was using advanced technology to support him in the fight which made him a bit of a coward/cheater.
This movie was worth just for this scene alone and the one with the wolf, seeing animals actualy keep track of the invisibility with they senses is actualy crazy
I dont like how this predator never decided to have a honorable fight with the bear. He never took off his mask and never turned off his camouflage he had no honor like previous predators
I believe the Predator was going easy on the grizzly. Somewhere I heard that the predators have evolved over time so would that imply their strength too? The first time the bear had the predator by the arm and the predator threw the bear like it was nothing. And when the bear bit the predator and turned around it ran back when the predator turned around and I think that’s when the predator had enough and punched the bear to death. These guys are hunters and it was studying the bear because I truly believe it could have killed the grizzly bear in an instant.
The Predator is like a Wolverine on steroids. Despite its size and weight, the bear stood no chance against the apex hunter. The ferocity and power of that final blow to the bear's head which broke its neck is just terrifying.
Who the heck one shots a full grown grizzly bear with a punch then lifts it up and even tosses it like it’s nothing? This Predator is pretty dang powerful in regards to brute strength alone. Dare I say perhaps even more physically strong than Predators that we’ve seen in previous movies?
The only thing I dislike about this is that the bear appears to have ADHD. A real bear would keep mauling you until you stopped twitching, and then keep at it for 5-10 minutes more out of spite.
I've been noticing the bear could have just kept attacking and won. You realize Predators test their prey they don't go all out at first once it realized the bear is a challenge it went for the finishing blow. Predators are far more dangerous than people realize.
Especially that bears can feel heartbeats and breathing with the keen senses of their own, I love this scene but it seems a little unrealistic on the bear’s end
@BermudaHawk47 yeah Preds are extremely strong especially the likes of Clan Leader and Scarface. Clan Leader overpowered Xenomorph Queen and Scarface overpowered multi ton doors.
@epyonsystem1869 Exactly bro that's alot of strength to throw a 1000 lb 9ft Grizzly. He easily could have shoved it off but he was toying with it. Then when he got up he wasn't playing around and finished it
A bit more than for sport in his case . this Yautja crosses levels in terms of fauna , he starts with the least tough up to the "champion" and he tests himself each time, he challenges any creature to be his equal or superior. Our dear predators are Darwinists at heart :)
@@lionelromain9878Well now that he bet a Grizzly how about he goes over to Antarctica and fights a Polar Bear or goes to Alaska and fights a Brown Bear there because they are bigger then regular Grizzly’s.
