When I first saw Predator when I was 7 I actually missed the spaceship intro.... So when I realized it was an alien hunting them I was genuinely surprised !!!
this was a violent movie at 7. i don't think i saw this until at least middle school
That's the best way to watch it, skip the first minute or so when the ship comes down and it's amazing!
I was maybe 15-16? Also missed the beginning. I thought it was a sequel or prequel to Commando, my word what a heightened experience.
TyrranicalT-Rad same here
I didn't know there was a space ship intro until i watched this honest trailer just now!
RIP Carl Weathers - best handshake in the history of mankind
You know, this movie produced two governors, a gubernatorial candidate, a major director, and Apollo Creed. Testosterone is powerful stuff.
Weathers had already portrayed Creed multiple times before Predator so not really that so much.
You may be onto something Thanks!
Maybe ill be M
...Mayooor thats a good i deas
... I Could Run For Mayor... 😜😉
This movie was supposed to be a Rocky sequel. look it up.
Could squeeze a diamond out of that handshake.
And that despite Dillon pushing too many pencils. Imagine him at full strength. It would've produced a shockwave.
Coz they're de famoz Mario Bros
...or Giana sis... whatever.
dude that home alone correlation was pretty freaking good
I LOVED that bit!
It’s something I never would have picked up on!
I lost it at " keep the change, you filthy anima yeuhhaual" 😂
Haha that bit and the end sitcom bit were the best bits :)
SO good
The sequence of like 15 minutes of silence near the end, where Arnold is the only one left, is tense af. Silence does not equal bad in movies (if done well).
Exactly. And knowing it's an alien doesn't ruin anything either.
Suspension
It's always good when Arnie doesn't speak so much.
Even the quiet looking at tree's in this honest trailers builds tension
*trees
Stop apostrophe abuse today.
Let's not forget to thank Alan Silvestri for the incredibly atmospheric soundtrack. It's so good the studio won't stop exploiting it in every movie to this day =D
Agreed. Those damn dissonant bongos set the perfect mood.
He did steal a bit from the 2001: A Space Odyssey soundtrack, but it works.
Now cue the bongo drums
They also used it,, in LOTR return of the king when frodo got hunted by giant spider in a cave...
Absolutely!
I like the end credits where they all smiling lol makes you feel like they are still alive so you're less sad that they got killed
YEAH BRO EXACTLY!
Thats what my mother told me that they are still alive, cuz i was little sad and scared xD
😂
Exactly
There’s a video were someone the mixed the end credits with the opening of Full House.
******spoiler
We will be forever grateful that Stan Winston (R.I.P.) saved the movie with his Creature design
He and James Cameron who made a mask for late Winston,and Arnold who sugested Stan Winston
Yeah or else we would end up watching giant overcooked lobster kicking Arnie's butt
You do know it' lobster red because they needed to edit it out for the effects, right?
Pretty sure they had a bright red yautja costume for that too.
And yes, I am fun at parties😁
If only the giant lobster costume was there to save The Predator (2018).
GraHaz is correct; the predator was NEVER going to be red. That is only for effects shots. Google "original predator suit," and you can see the original design of the Predator, which has a similar body to the final design, but a different head. It's a bit more lizard-like. The final design is better, but the original was fine.
Honest Trailers is right, when I saw this movie I absolutely did not notice how much of it is quietly staring at the forest. That is how you know the film is great at generating suspense - when it can get you to enjoy watching nothing happen.
⚡💛
One of many movies aimed (no pun intended) at war vets; Vietnam in this case.
Hail the War Machine!
I watched this recently and it holds up SO well! They didn’t shoehorn in any useless backstory - if this was made today then the first 20 minutes would be Dutch talking about how he can’t wait to get home from the mission to see his newborn daughter for the first time and how he regrets getting into a fight with his dad before he left 😂😂
my moustache grew a moustache watching the broshake
Say this ⬆️
moustach-ception
My moustache grew a six pack.
RazorFist much?
my moustache became face armour
I am a woman and I grew a moustache watching that scene 👨😂
Amy 91 Mom?!
Leone Furlan (0_o)
I'm a moustache and I grew a mexican woman watching that scene
😆
Where?
THE handshake that end racism
We need it now
Would that it were so simple.
And yes, I grow a mustache instantly when I see that... Love It!
haha
@@luislovera2351 do we?
Honestly I love the credits. It’s like a final reminder that movie is meant to be fun and enjoyable which is was.
Wait, they never made an Honest Trailer for Predator until now? Wow!
And this is one of the best Honest Trailers they have made. This was, like, 2014 quality.
Mike my thoughts exactly 😮
ikr
I’m still waiting on an honest trailer for Snakes on a Plane. But that’s not trendy, so they won’t do it😤😤
Just wait til Snakes on a Plane 2 comes out.
Since 1997 I've watched this movie between 75-100 times. I'm not embarrassed
Nor should you be. I remember back in the 90's when Encore would only play 3 movies a day all day. Predator was one of those for weeks. Good times.
Be proud of that
Hell Yeah brother!!!
Who wouldn't?
You should be proud of your accomplishment, I've only seen it arround 15 times
"From the Michael Bay of the 80’s but better"
Sorry cant stop laughing at this.
Oh and Home Alone came out in 1990 so technically Kevin copied Dutch but without the cigars.
Right
It’s weird how many iconic horror franchises Home Alone ripped off. See: the first. Nightmare on Elm Street.
*stogies
And add in some Rambo.
I cannot believe this movie is 34 years old this year and is still so much better than most of what they make.
I've seen vampires age worse than this movie. Seriously it's still incredible. GREAT FILM.
Yeah, its a shame they seem to have decided to run the Predator franchise into the ground instead of doing anything actually interesting with it, like the fact that the end of Predator 2 tells us the Predators have been coming to Earth for a very long time, and we know they have a sense of honour. Why cant we get something like Predator vs Samurai, rather than Predator vs A Bigger Predator
Also, pretty damning when you realise that Arnie apparently only turned down an appearance in the new one after he read the script.
That was more to do with him only have a very small role. There are talks of him jumping into a sequel with more to do later down the road.
Yup! Not to mention the sounds and music.
Because it's all real sweat and blowing stuff up. The monster isn't CGI but a really BIG MAN in an AWESOME suit. This is my biggest problems with monster movies these days, sure you can do an all CGI Godzilla and it works much better, but around human size monsters should all be practical effects. There is a reason the best monster movie ever is The Thing, maybe Predator is second to that with the first Alien.
The Home Alone/ Predator comparison was right on the money. Great observation guys!
Predator did it first tho.
AK Arora True, true. So home alone was the kiddie version of predator.
Mr Sunday Movies released it first tho
they always use home alone as comparison in these honest trailers lol
lol so true it has aged so well... that's because it barely has any computer graphics!
I agree.
I wouldnt even be mad if they re-released this movie in a teather with sligltly improved cgi.
But in fact it is very graphic!
Good point!!
It has zero computer graphics actually
Saw this when I was 7 or 8. When Billy stood on that log marking himself to face the Predator I was amazed. I wanted to grow up and be that brave. Good times.
"He's in town with a few days to kill" - great tag line, Predator 2
I just realized it’s kinda sad that 2 of Arnies best movies were spoiled in the trailer
@@KingLeoXV I don't think they thought about these things when they cut trailers back then. In the social media age, people have become a lot more vocal regarding spoilers in trailers
That's pretty GOAT
Predator 2 is one of the best sequels, very underrated.
That's fine, I think the film still holds up unlike Predators where its filled with errors like the girl talking about Arnie's team and how they killed it but yet no one decides to do the same thing until the very end with Brody....makes no sense. At least Danny Glover beats the shit out of it instead of using traps. You have more than one Predator and yet they die quick unlike the first & second movie. That's like if I had more than one Jason in Friday the 13th but somehow its much easier to defeat them.
perfect honest trailer for a perfect 80's action movie!
perfect
Predator: Want some candy?
any time
It's a horror movie that has an dum' action movie cosplay.
Wait a second... movie made in the 80's and it has quite a diverse cast that didnt feel forced as hell. Movies were so good back in the day.
Before Friends came about and people realized how bizarre it is to have everyone white in a major American city.
@@Keithustus Pretty sure most friend groups still are 100% white even in new york so its not like it was unbelievable. If friends was set in Mexico city and everyone was white then it would be weird.
@@Keithustus Isn't Brooklyn more white today?
@@Jebu911 if you think most friend groups in major cities are the same race, visit some.
@@MeneTekelUpharsin, 2010 census shows Brooklyn 49% white, 35% black, 11% Asian. I can’t immediately find any good data from 1980 or 1990 on Brooklyn however.
Would be absolutely great if they'd re-release it in theaters. Last year saw Alien on bigscreen, and it was glorious. Some movies just doesn't age.
When I saw the movie on tv for the first time as a kid, I did not actually see the first 5 or 10 minutes and did not know who or what it is. I couldn't find sleep that night.
Cool childhood days when you were not spoiled with 46 exclusive movie images, 5 trailers, 8 TV commercials, 12 short clips and 2 making of's in advance.
well the cool thing is that you can choose what to watch. ive learned to watch just one trailer per movie and thats it
And everyone who goes to the midnight screening rushes to fill all available social media with spoilers. This is why we can't have nice things.
Originally, the space ship scene wasn't in the movie. Apparently, they added it later.
At least you got to see it. When it was a kid it was "OFF TO BEDTIME AT EIGHT OR FACE DEATH"
Yeh, i knew nothing of this movie until i saw it on tv about 20 years ago, missed the first 5 mins or so - movie watch will never be as good
Those 90s Sitcom credits are Amazing!
The comparison with home alone had me in stitches xD
I still say “I ain’t got time to bleed!” to this day. Usually not referring to actual bleeding.
“You got time to duck?”
yeah it's my go to whenever I get a minor injury.
Just think If you were a chick... you could always say that line around that time of the month
@@ArtofLunatik Introducing...Venture pads. For when you ain't got time to bleed.
Same.
Or running to the car in the rain and shouting: get to the choppa!
- My man are not expendable...
- You changed, Arnold... You changed...
LMFAO!
Men, you idiot. Men.
"What's the matter, CIA got you pushing too many pencils?"
The first solid honest trailer in God knows how long
The best one since The Wes Anderson HT!
Predator had legitimate suspense
“Buncha shlack-jawed fa**otsh round here”
- Tobacco Chewing guy who ain’t got time to bleed
- Sexual Tyrannosaurus
"Jacked up macho X"
What made this movie so unique was all the behind-the-scenes action. Casting the most swole actors in Hollywood, throwing them into an isolated horrific jungle location for weeks, having them get super sick and miserable, and having them do weight lifting competitions every morning to see who was most swole.
lol. That kind of context is why the world may never see a movie like this again.
WTF I didn't know about the weightlifting thing 💪🤯♂️
@@dec13666 yeah, look up some of the Predator making of featurettes. (They're on CZcams, some combine them all for over an hour.) Producer John Davis recounts that Arnold would invite him to workouts. They'd work out for an hour and then run for an hour and Davis got absolutely worn out by it all (since he wasn't a bodybuilder like the others). Carl Weathers said that if he went to the weight room and there were already others working out, he'd get breakfast, wait an hour, and then go in and lift weights when nobody else was there. McTiernan recounts that the insurance company wouldn't let them hire Sonny Landham unless they hired a bodyguard - who was there to protect the rest of the crew from Sonny.
some people have watched this movie Predator 100 time and still not embarrassed including me.! when are they gone realise that this movie has aged so well that if it is released in the cinema again it 'll gross all follow up movies combined. I wana see it on the big screen for once for all time sake. The sound track the mystery the action. oh my my ! who'd like to see it on the big screen put your hands up!
I want it to be put in the choppah
I got it on bluray and it is SO effing clear and crystal. I can see every sweat bead pop out of their damn pores, lol.
Which makes me sad that for the bluray of Aliens, they opted to apply a film grain to it, in order to 'preserve' the character of the film. I want Aliens in that kind of pure clarity.
Stormtempter F the blu ray is DNR’d to shit..its supposed to have grain..it gives the picture detail. The 4K of predator is miles better than the Blu
Me too, in fact I am going to watch that after the "300"
RIP Sonny/Billy.. just found out he died yr or two ago. Iconic character actor.
That ..."quietly looking at trees" line absolutely killed me. This was fantastic!
This movie is a testosterone burger on steroids
Keyboard warrior of the year goes to you my friend. Congratulations
MinoritiesRlazy Wait what-
I think it got voted most manly movie of all time, and I agree.
It's actually pretty homoerotic.
As soon as you hear, "From the Michael Bay of the 80's....but better", you know we're in for laughs
The fact that so much of this movie is staring into the forest is exactly what makes it good.
Fuck me, that movie is so good building suspence and tension that honestly I never realized a lot of times they only look at trees LOL, fuck I miss those good old days of the 80's action movies
I instantly grew a mustache after watching that handshake.
Fun Fact: The Predator in the first film is voiced by Peter Cullen - the same man behind the voice of Optimus Prime!
...And Eeyore the Donkey.
Also Venger
RazorRex and ironhide
peter cullen actually was close to voicing the iron giant
Oh man, that would been neat. Alas, Vin Diesel edged him out with sheer star power.
i never realized home alone was a predator remake.
ok now i want an edit of predator that is only the silently looking at trees parts.
I noticed that many years ago, when zapping on cable tv and I saw that stolen scenes
this alpha male action/slashhorror movie was more diverse and credible than most "forced" diversity movies nowadays
Brie Larson was able to push a jeep uphill after training for Captain Marvel. Just sayin'.
@@ericthompson3982 She'd have been better off taking acting lessons.
Barry Whittingham Oof felt that one!
So would Arnie back then.
If you compare a superhero film like The Watchmen, which is a masterpiece imo to something like The Avengers, the horrific contrast in themes and depth is almost insulting.
I will NEVER be able to watch this movie again and not just stare at TREES!! DAMMIT AWESOME MOVIE VOICE GUY!!
"Epic Voice Guy" is his actual working title.
My testosterone levels increased by 100% after watching this video
I think my balls finally dropped.
And I'm female.
Then you're going to bald faster.
After the handshake
100% times 0 is still 0 though. xD
Joking, joking. Sorry, couldn't resist, no offense. ^_^"
The predator was using Billy's laugh from earlier in the movie.
Yup! He records and replays everything he hears them say
Whoa just watched this yesterday and was TOTALLY confused by that. Thanks for clearing it up
That's his trademark. "Danny Boy sss"
Love it. He simultaneously gives fun facts about the cast and movie while poking fun at it all the while recognizing that it's a great and iconic cinematic masterpiece.
The Kevin McAllister sequence might be the best joke of the season for you guys! Nice work!
If it bleeds.....we can kill it.
but then what happens if it doesn't have time to bleed? :D
Stick around
Stop shaving you don't have a beard!
@@antoniocenteno1483 Then You tell him he's one ugly S O B before you get to the Chopper.
leegsy knock knock!
I was a couple of minutes late to the movie theater and missed the spaceship at the beginning. I was expecting a "Commando" type of movie. Imagine my surprise! 😯
That's literally the best way to experience it for the first time!
00:19 And the best Handshake in all of human history! RIP Carl Weathers!
My parents took me to see this in theaters when I was 16 and that moment when Billy said "There's something hunting us, and it aint no man" I yelled "ITS A WOMAN!".
My parents were so pissed at me =(
Ugh
Oh, I would have cheered so loudly at that, even if I was only 5 at the time
Honestly? I would laugh at that comment.
That was such an MST3K moment 😆
I'd laugh then slap you, then laugh again.
That 90s show type of ending killed me😂😂😂😂 I found it too funny
adee ha the only thing they added was the music
"My men are not Expendable."
"You've changed, Arnold. You've changed."
Sensational movie. Even more sensational honest trailer. Damn...looking at trees is SO MUCH FUN!!!!
was a perfect movie. I wish I could have seen it in theater. Saw it on vhs first
They ran it ONCE in only one theater in Copenhagen (Denmark) where I live on its 30'th anniversary and I was lucky enough to get a ticket. People were cheering at almost every iconic scene - it was SO great!
I saw Predator 2 on a lark, Petersburg VA mall. It was entertaining. 👮🏽♂️👮🏻♀️🚔💀👽🎬🎞. The later Alien vs Predator films were not great. Predators(2010) was impressive.
Yeah, you missed out...it was freaking AWESOME on the big screen...sorry...
I saw it in the theaters. I remember thinking that it was a typical Arnold 1980s action movie right up until the first time we see the infrared "Predator Cam." Then I though "Oh, this just got interesting."
Well done! The Kevin MacAllister joke made me laugh out loud!
Same cinematic universe? Maybe after HA2, Kevin gets sent to boarding school in Austria, eventually returns to the US and then joins the military?
Same!!!
I think they got it from a meme:
“Who would win, Kevin MacAllister or the Predator?”
“How much prep time does Kevin get?”
Kevin MacAllister is OP please nerf
I love that Predator came out 3 years before Home Alone which means 8-year-old Kevin had been watching Predator since he was 5.
That makes Kevin the kid version of Dutch and makes me love Home Alone even more.
Everything about this movie is awesome, even staring into the trees and the sitcom credits
These are so much more creative and funny than most things coming out of Hollywood these days. You are amazing.
This is the best Honest Trailer in a long time.
It helps that this flick is so iconic & quotable
Best Since Wes Anderson HT
That's sooooooo sad.
Juat what I was thinking.Havent laughed this hard for a long time
Uh oh. I just grew a bit of a mustache after that epic handshake 😲
Speak for yourself. I suddenly grew a carpet full of hair on my chest after seeing that
Dammit, I grew a mustache again watching that. On my elbow.
That was the BEST ONE I’ve seen on this channel in a long time. Awesome job!
In 2021, this is still my #1 pick of the genre! Perfection!
Get to the chopaaaaaaaa!
Oh common, you forgot the most important part! Ahhu Arrr Aghh!
;)
The best hand shake 💪 LOL!!!! This is by far one of your best trailers! Arnold has so many great one liners in his movies but almost everybody knows “get to the choppaaah”👍👍😄😄😄
John Lopez “If it bleeds, we can kill it”
It's a real mans MANLY man man handshake
This is one of your best trailers guy's, greeat job laughed so much
Ok, I have loved every one of these I’ve seen, but this one brought tears to my eyes! 😂
Amazing that they got the whole film in for $15 million! (That wasnt Schwarzenegger’s salary! That was the entire budget!)
they spend more in marketing than in the movie sometimes
No lense flare, only some of the predator stuff was post production effects. As perfect as movie as you can get. To think the biggest flaw in the movie is really the camp assault scene which was directed by the 2nd unit which John McTiernan regrets not doing himself.
What's wrong with the camp assault scene?
Thats what I was thinking, lol. Looked fine to me!
Wow, the whole thing for 15 mil? Didn't know that. Thats amazing!
The broiest broshake in the history of movies
The manliest handshake thereis
It is pretty badass
I have to agree on the space ship reveal in the beginning and it's amazing how much horror you add taking that one scene out.
Predator is one of my favorite action movies.
Mustache?...
I grew a full beard & chesthair because of that scene....
me too, and I'm a girl.
Don't be fatuous, Jeffrey 😂
I remember when I first watch that movie. My balls dropped that day.
What a cult classic! They don't make brilliant movies like this anymore. Here we have perfect action, adventure, horror and sci-fi
And just the right amount of comedy
git to da choppaaaaaa
I say the same thing about Pandorum (2009) as why I like it so much. But people seem to disagree that it mixes well sci-fi horror suspense action and adventure.
I'm sure there are other gems out there if you look.
definitely. I think The Rock has the charisma to pull off a movie like this, but no one is writing movies like this anymore.
People make good movies every year
This is the best of all the honest trailers.
Ok, I want the "people staring at trees" supercut now.
I give you "The Happening."
@@richp7234 I haven't seen it, but I'm intrigued now.
The best one of all Predator movies. Doesnt matter when you read this.
I'm reading this in 2138. Still true
Predators is my favorite so far. I actually really like that movie.
The only good one.
This is one of the best Honest Trailers ever.
I first saw Predator when I flipped to it on TV and missed the first few minutes. The slow buildup to the alien reveal was really well done, and it was a fantastic way to be introduced to the film! It really is baffling that it opens with a shot of the ship. Though I suppose it’s a moot point, because it’s pretty much impossible to choose to watch Predator without knowing the basic premise, unless you happen to stumble across it like I did.
Very well done! Yes, I did just grow a mustache while watching that handshake... :-D
I knew an Expendables joke was coming.
Technically Arnold's men aren't expendable, but Stallone's are.
@@KKKuma stallone baby thor is dead
Ironically, the Expendables never due though lol.
This is my all-time favorite Honest Trailer
Love this cause now I see it's not hard to make great movies. You guy's are awesome on alot of my favorites!
To be fair, they added the stupid spaceship opening shot because test audiences found the alien reveal to be "too jarring" to the point that it took them out of the film. Personally, I'd prefer the movie alien ship-free too, but test audiences are typically dumb, so...
The food that the people in the poor compartments eat in Snowpiercer was changed from human feces to bugs because American test audiences couldn't take it. Test audiences are stupid.
where do they get these people
@@geoffreysorkin5774 that at least makes more sense
I think test audiences also ruined the original ending of Will Smith's I Am Legend. The original ending would have made far more sense to me.
I never noticed the alien ship at the beginning. Probably bc I always start watching the movie a little late.
*If it wasn't for Arnold getting American citizenship 4 years prior, this movie would've been called....*
*ALIEN VS. PREDATOR!*
Jim B. And then if Harvey Weinstein also stared in it you wouldn't even need the monster.
Ba dum tss
LOL.
@@alexturlais8558 That woman (Rosa?) wouldn't even have been found.
Comedy at its finest, people.
I watched this hundred times - never gets old :)
OK OK, that HOMEALONE/Predator mashup was LEGIT AF!! THANK YOU!! 🙌🤣🙌😲😂🙌👌👌 AND wth!? One of the more clever ones I've seen, especially the last half! MAD PROPS!
Whenever this movie's on, no matter what part it's at, I'll watch it.
Agreed. This, and the first Terminator...always have time to watch them
Especially the end credits! The soundtrack, like the movie, still holds up.
*...my skull, my back , my trophy in my pack* 😂😂
Best ever Honest trailer for a brilliant film
God that was a perfect review. The parallel to Home Alone was genius. I can't believe I never noticed that before.
Oh my god. It IS Home Alone in the jungle.
Chris B actually Home Alone was Predator in the suburbs. This came out first
I...I...I can't...I CAN'T UNSEE IT...
I think Home Alone is more like "Die Hard" for kids, since they're both Christmas movies.
Best line from this... "Could have been released today." No truer words have been said. F*cking awesome.
Best Honest Trailer nailing it possibly.
