The Unseen Arnold 'Predator (1987)' Behind The Scenes 

:D :D :D true

If the Predator had been not acting so overconfident, it would have been slice and dice time for Arnold.

Legend

yeah man. exactly

@Atrocious Consequences yep plus he was unarmed so I guess the predator figured he wasn't much of a threat at that point.

Agree

Beats Terminator hands down! Best alien film ever!

@@dukeofpearl really two films from different eras. they are both good imho and not really comparable.

@@geerstyresoil3136 i agree both films are good cant compare the to

Yeah but one Predator ran off into the brush and they all started shooting he wouldn't survive that s*** give a damn

Respect to you 🙏

Well you can't

Ditto.

When we're you born?

I feel the same way

Someone create a time machine

Same

Ditto

Very true man, sad thing is they don't make movies like these anymore, even Shane blacks predator movie a few years back was a disgrace to the franchise

I totally get it . Me and my dad loved the Arnold movies and he would take me to the movies as a kid to see terminator 2 , last action hero , etc and would watch Conan at home . It was just a perfect father son movie match up with Arnold . You kinda would look at your dad like he was Arnold

Sorry about your dad. Memories sure are a powerful thing aren't they?

@@Baddy187 Both masterpieces.

@@Baddy187 Nah Predator is way better than Aliens. Aliens depends on character stupidity while Predator doesn't. Predator treats it's commandos with respect while Aliens has it's Marines dumbed down to make Ellen Ripley a female Rambo Mary Sue.

Anytime.....

@@jakejoker1988 No way. There weren't "Mary Sues" back then.

@@B0X666 the concept of a Mary Sue may not have been as fleshed as it is today, but Ripley def carries shades of it- she survives and excels where a squadron of hardened marines miserably failed. This doesn’t make the film bad- tropes are an inevitable part of most fiction, but it’s important to recognize them so we can understand why they work in some cases while falling flat in others.

He still is💯

Don't forget the '70s and Conan.

Yeah he was the biggest movie star Terminator Terminator 2 Judgement Day True Lies, The Last Action Hero, Kindergarden Cop, he was a bodybuilder and he even wrote a book about his life called Total Recall. Its really good. Arnold is now a grandfather now. Arnold was great in the James Cameron movies and the Terminator made him a huge star.

Yup I can get behind that. Agreed

So why'd you say "mid-80s to early 90s" if you then go on to say "of all time"?

The Invisible armour visual effects of the predator was groundbreaking stuff back then.

Makes a movie way less enjoyable knowing its all fake and I'm 20

@@limwas9109 What's fake today is thin paper weight women with a twig frame throwing 300 ponds blocks around like they are nothing & expecting us to believe it's plausible? The woke nation is garbage, don't let them remake Predator like they did Ghost Busters.

@@DespaceMan Would you rather a 300 pound whale throw "300 pound blocks"? If that's what your into then go for it.

a cult classic for sure. never gets old, and you can tune in and watch it from any point in the movie! ;o)

Very, very true...

Sign of a great film, the more you watch, the better it gets

Me too

Me too

If I had to pick one movie to watch for the rest of my life, it would definitely be this one. There is just something about it that reels you in, even if you know it by heart.

100!

One of my favourite films ever.

I know what ya mean iv seen it so many times

i do that once a year

Agreed, great actor

U really like him then

The whole cast is great because they’re each able to work off each other perfectly. And that helps make them seem like a real team that’s seen action for years

Bill Duke and this movie don’t get a fraction of the credit they deserve.

Well, of the main cast of Arnold, Carl, Jesse, Sonny, and himself, Bill Duke was the only real actor.

Lol

Right lycan

Damn straight... im gay for Arnold too. Man - that felt really good getting that off my chest 😁🤣

Indeed. Theres enough movies of him to make a digital copy and have him keep making movies til end of time, with his approval of course.

You are a Legend not him wake up

I was thinking the same thing as I watched the video, then saw your comment! The music score pushes this movie to the edge -- it's great!

@@wildman2012 tu dududu tu dududu, tu dududu tu dududu

I cant remember it...🤯

It would be cool if they could make one more movie with Arnold, Danny Glover, and Adrien Brody. Some collector alien abducts them and brings them in to fight in some kind of gladiator type arena since they were the toughest humans. It could be cool if no cheesy bs were introduced and the original director directed it.

@@lionforceful3919 "taaaaaaaaaa ta tana na naaaaaa taaaa ta na na na na naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

The best

Unlike now where its all CGI and fake now. I miss the old days when movies were the best the 80s and 90s and now everything sucks with Hollywood. They are running out of ideas now. Going back in time and messing everything up. Even the orginals.

The movies were okay. The world of today is far far better. Smartphones, high speed Internet, advanced computers, AI/deep learning, high definition oled television, self driving cars etc etc. In comparison the 80s was the stone ages.

@@OGSuperDirty your opinion. You enjoy being a good Lil prole

moral value of humanity even actors were high, thus movies were quality. now its all about, sex + money, you walk out from the movie room you feel empty.

fancy seeing you here

Agree!

Amen brother

Or maybe they're just interested in seeing behind the scenes stuff?

@Tom Geldon it's fine, 33 is in its 4th decade.

hai propio ragione e' incredibile ti inchioda davanti lo schermo lo dicevo prima poi con quella colonna sonora...e' perfetto dallinizio alla fine poi quando si getta nel burrone per salvarsi dallo scoppio....che figata...se penso che sono passati 35 anni mi scappa da piangere...

It will never be surpassed, there is not the talent in movies anymore.

The 3D version didn't work for me. Only the opening "Predator" title was in 3D. The rest of the movie was in 2D...

hollywood has gone down the drain...

Predator and Aliens are in my mind the best Sci fi movies ever made.

I was 12 (turn 46 today) when I saw this in the theater with my dad and brother. $1 Tuesdays! The theater we watched it in was turned into a church some years ago. I remember thinking how weird it was that something or someone was actually bigger than Arnold and it picked him up with one hand.

Brilliant comment! Hope it doesn't come across smartassy lol.

Always loved Bill Duke too...commando....scene, "I eat green berets for breakfast." 🙄 I chuckle now..but it was cheesy..doesn't make me enjoy it any less though, that was my childhood. Poor Sully too..."Sully, remember when I promised to kill you last....I lied"....I'm 32 almost 33 now...but I think I love these movies the way I do, due to watching them with my dad growing up...my absolute best friend...still is!

I was watching Dirty Dozen 2 - The Next Mission, the other day, and spotted Sonny.

Yes! I miss the action/suspense/thriller movies of the 80s.

I like your bar, good call on merlin

As a kid watched this maybe ten times, as an adult 3 or 4 more. Never gets old, great Arnie film.

I watched this movie so many times cant even count....I miss the 80s

Besides Nolan's Batman, how many other movies can be called 'Iconic' today. There are loads in the 80s.

i agree. 1a/1b of greatest action films of all time are Predator and Aliens. the 80s had it good =/

100%

Yeah, and it really helps if you don't have an actor like "The Rock" Johnson, who makes sure that all the other actors have been waiting for a half hour for him to come out of his trailer so that work can begin. This is the reason why Vin Diesel doesn't like him, he let him know it, and Rock didn't appreciate it.

I believe The Rock is on his level, different sporting origins obviously but they are very similar. I also believe that The Rock is the better actor with better range.

Haha thats false

YOUR A TYPICAL IDIOT.....WHY WOULD YOU CAST OUT ANYONE ELSE NAME.... THE NEW ACTORS ARE IN NEW TIMES. YOU CREATE STUPID DRAMA

Atleast 10ml of sustanon flowing through the viens in that scene 💪👍

what's a matter , the c.i.a got you pushing to many pencils ?

Fuckin A!

Conan, Terminator 1&2, Predator and Last Action Hero are the best movies he starred in, and for each of these movies, he was the perfect choice if you ask me.

dont forget running man and commando.. arguably better movies

@@brk2507 Better movies? I think not. They're both fun movies but hardly his best. Arnold is best when he has great directors around to push him. Milius, McTiernan, Cameron, Verhoeven. The movies they directed really showed what Arnold could do. Even Arnold himself wasn't completely satisfied with The Running Man. The original director, who has directed great movies, was fired and Paul Glaser, whose claim to fame was playing Starsky in Starsky & Hutch, was brought on. Arnold himself believes it hurt the film.

@@5minutemovies977 No Total Recall?

@@digitalintent I like that movie too, but not as much as the one I mentionned, although it would be just a tiny bit below.

Only us alive back then can claim to have had the great, great cinematic experience, of going to watch Predator, and NOT knowing aliens were involved. Many people don't remember, that the original trailers, did not indicate it was an alien. Just something vicious in the jungle. What an amazing twist when you realize its an alien. Top 5 movie of the entire 80's for me. Its simply perfect.

@@ckmoore101 I also loved back then that you could just show up at the theaters and pick a good movie to watch. Nowadays? Yeah, right.

Your grandfathers? Jeez I'm getting old..

Get to thee CHOPPER!

My favourite line too

Jesse Ventura is a crack up , especially back when he was one of the commentators for the wrestling back in the day , he was such a laugh !

@@HighSpeedNoDrag Nice avatar.

@@tracker1673 Avatar? That's me in front of the Great Sand Dunes (SW Co) with the Sangre De Cristo Mountains (Blood of Christ).

Wait, how many were there.. I thought Arnold only did one

No CGI except for the shapeshifting cloaking scenes.

And the predator vision and shoulder canon.

I really wouldn't classify those effects as true CGI. More like animation overlays and lens and video tricks combined with practical effects. I would be surprised if Any computers were used for generating visual effects.

@@DocMicrowave And yet this movie is better than 99% of the action movies to come after it. I miss old film making.

@@bate181 I will say that Mad Max Fury Road was probably one of the best action flicks to come out in a long time. When I first heard about it, I thought it couldn't hold a candle to The Road Warrior. I was wrong, it certainly brought back the feel of those earlier 80s Action movies. Especially knowing that 99% of the effects where old school practical effects. Loved it so much I now consider it one of my top 10 favorite movies.

Long tall Sally 😂

Humanity peaked in the 80s.

Cocaine and sex

@Tom Geldon rose-colored glasses. And to the op... humanity certainly did not peak in the 80s... remember the cold war escalation?

@Tom Geldon I'm likely a "youngster' to you. I'm 31. I'm not surprised that someone like you would chose to see a decade of the past as a high point... and perhaps it was for you. My cold war comment was more to the OP who said it was the peak of humanity in general. As for you, there is no doubt nothing I could say would change your perspective on your past. However I believe humans haven't changed much, not only in the last decade but in the last few centuries. Only our tech, access to communication, etc etc. People are generally just as terrible or great as they've always been. 80's weren't so special

@jaybee corbell mkll Maybe in america it was the case but here in eu, born in the 90's most countries were just recovering from cold war tensions and soviet occupations. Things didn't get good until 2000's and even then it was boring as hell. Very few attractions aside from boring beach tanning (as relaxing as that is) or death trap amusement parks built in the 60's. Things really picked up by mid 2000's and imo living standards reached and surpassed u.s by 2010. For us its the other way around. 80's is your jam while the 80's were shit for us so technically we're both right. As for generational differences and who is at fault. Youth today is sharp but lazy. Education shifted to creating more drones than self reliant individuals. Most people are not willing to do more. Same thing in u.s it seems. All present problems are past generations fault and the life grind difficulty increased so much that people cant even be bothered to fix anything. All while older generation is lecturing us about things from the safety of their paid off homes and secure retirements lol. Housing prices are 10x while wages only increased by 3x. Cities are a mess and small towns are worse. Things have gotten better in some ways and others its been nothing but down hill. Cynicism is more important these days because times are changing for the worse.

I dunno what happens to him. Was he retiring or something? His entire career seems abruptly stopped around 2005. Never done anything with movies/shows again.

@@manchesterunitedno7 He went to prison.

@@user-hz1mx8ly2i What kind of obscure language is this? ...oh wait, is it rusky?

They forgot that the point of movies is to tell a compelling story, suspend disbelief and entertain an audience. Now it's all about them, their indoctrination, agendas, and being the "wokest," plus limited by PC bs. Basically, they're so busy trying to force their point of view down our throats, that they forgot to look at our point of view/what we experience or care about, naturally. Don't know about the rest of you, but I'm personally sick of this in everyday life and especially politics. Why would I go pay to have more of the same, but intensified?
