Ashleigh: 'A member requested I watch this movie."
Me: "Not all heroes wear heat masking mud."
HAHAHAHAAHAHAAHA 😂😂😂
Now I feel the terminators at least the first 2 are a must watch....
Mondays and Fridays are the best
I would add The Running Man to the Arnie List
@Trent yesssss such a good move. The remake kinda made my brain forget it’s existence lol but yes 👏🏾
@@awkwardashleigh For a change to more light hearted try Arnold in Kindergarten Cop.
5:58 "He's shooting WHILE he's on fire!"
WELCOME TO THE 80s, BABY!!!
EVERYTHING IS ON FIRE
A lot of Arnold movies can be described as "nouns exploding"
80s action movies are definitely gold.
Ashleigh: " Oh no Billy. I need you to be a little more positive!"
Billy: "OK Ashleigh, I'm positive we're all gonna die."
Moral of the story:
If the stonecold tracker of your squad is terrified, you should be too
NO SHIT SHERLOCK.
That goes without saying, especially if that tracker is a Native American
If it can bleed it can die.
@@sircull4047 If it bleeds, we can kill it*
Especially when he just non chalantly ends a conversation with, "we're all gonna die...." And then strolls off, expressionless.
When Ashleigh makes an innocent statement "If the Alien were to take on the Predator......"
😎😎😎
@@awkwardashleighThe Predator creature was designed by Stan Winston, the special effects artist from Aliens
@@windwalker5765 Also Jurassic Park, the Terminators, Iron Man, Edward Scissorhands, so on and so forth.
let's not bring the shitty sequels into this. as far as im concerned, there is only one predator
If she watches that one, I hope she goes with the director's cut
13:18 Ashleigh "Everybody else is Expendable to me."
Me: "That's a different movie with Arnold in it."
Lol same reaction
haha - - I'm not sure she'll get the comment . (Took me couple seconds there. Then I went, "Oh. Right." )
The Predator has futuristic weapons, can turn invisible, mimic other languages and god knows what else.
Ashleigh: "He can swim!" :D
Watch the story of the game Predator Concrete jungle.
@@fjparasite1172 And what does that have to do with "He can Swim!"?
Can he mimic other languages, or can he just record and press play with cheap speakers?
Ashleigh is gonna LOVE Aquaman!
"His mouth opens?!?!?!?!?"
The girl got away because she wasn't viewed as a warrior, and thus a worthy target. It is easy to miss, but there is a short scene before Arnold begins going one-on-one, where he kicks the gun out of her hand, because he figured it out.
It still amazes me that this film features two future American Governors.
Ok, thanks for that. I knew that was Jesse Ventura!
Two world champions, too. One a body builder, the other a pro wrestler.
And an NFL player.
Maybe 3, i think the Indian was one too
@@tobe1207 He ran for governor of kentucky but lost. He also ran for senator and lost his nomination due to racist comments.
Predator masked + Ashleigh = "I wanna see the it!"
Predator unmasked + Ashleigh = "Omma gohd I don't wanna see it!"
😅😅😅😅
:D Was thinking the same "You don't wanna see him!"
The girl got away because she had no weapons. The Predator's code wouldn't let him go after here since she was not able to fight back.
"He didn't kill you because you weren't ahmed. No spoat"
Ohhh that makes sense.
Dutch also earned the right to go toe to toe with the predator without weapons in the end because he was a worthy adversary
Not only that, but sincere sport hunters tend not to target females. In the case of humans, killing females and males with equal facility wouldn't really matter much. But, in most cases, it's detrimental to the breeding population to target females.
I still don't understand why the others don't cast off all their weapons once they realize that. I suppose because their muscles are weapons.
Dutch: "what the hell are you?"
Predator: "what...the...hell...are you?"
I feel like that little conversation is to show we're just as strange to a predator as they are to us
The world might be a better place if every once in a while we stopped and talked about things but then we might not get movies like this. :)
For better or worse, we are the top mammalian predator on this planet...so far...till the 'AI's replace us! •|;p
Nea, its to show how they are learning
It didnt understand what this ment, just repeated it
@@zotharr yeas and no. You're not wrong, but OP is correct as well. It's a sort of double meaning. While the predator was simply repeating what he heard as be was "learning", his repeated statement had unknowingly showed the duality of the situation, and that the Yautja are just as weird, mysterious and ugly to us as we are to them.
@@FilthTribeFTP For us, the viewers, yes. But that's a different level, and op was taking about this the predators point of view, not from the views point of view
"There's something out there waiting for us, and it ain't no man." is one of the coolest lines in cinema history.
It's no "if it bleeds, we can kill it," but I like it.
“I ain’t got time to bleed” has got to be up there too
I think maybe it was more the delivery of the line. Probably the highlight of that guys career. Except for his laugh.
And "Any time".
Billy's undeniably cool as shit. One wonders why he didn't have more of a career, and then you see the "making of," and they basically state that the cast and crew had to be protected from Sonny Landham.
In this movie are both Arnold Schwarzenegger 38th governor of California from 2003 to 2011 and Jesse Ventura (mustache and mini gun) 38th governor of Minnesota from 1999 to 2003.
I think it was an snl skit where carl weathers for governor, I was in predator
Also a WWF Wrestler, Jesse "The Body" Ventura.
And the guy who plays Billy tried to become a Senator AND a governor, though he didn't win either.
@@Rmlohner apparently Billy was difficult to work with
@Raylan Givens it was a Saturday Night Live sketch, and it was simple and excellent.
Billy: We're all going to die.
Ashleigh: Oh no Billy, I need you to be more positive.
Billy: We're positively going to die.
Operation Petticoat
When Ashleigh said that, I really replied out loud "I'm positive that we are going to die!"
When he said that, It made me think of Donald Sutherland's character Oddball in Kelly's Heroes... "Always with the negative waves!"
Hey Matt. You paraphrased my lines. Thumbs up anyway.
@@gordon020958 Paraphrasing would be if I had read your comment. More like, great minds think alike.
In Predator, Arnold barely survived fighting the thing. In Predator 2, it's Danny Glover and it's in the middle of Los Angeles. Totally worth watching.
Watch it!
Isn't he getting too old for this shit?
@@winstonmarlowe5254 He is, in nearly every film he's in.
totally underated movie.
@@winstonmarlowe5254 lions and tigers and bears ooohh myyyyy...
4:00. That actor is Shane Black. He partially wrote this film, wrote the first two Lethal Weapon films, wrote and directed Iron Man 3 and wrote and directed the most recent Predator film The Predator.
And fun fact: the Predator’s clicking noise was voiced by Peter Cullen, the original Optimus Prime from Transformers.
Also fun fact! Predators sounds like koalas mating!
What's fun about that?
@@Jutrzen What's NOT fun about that? In fact, Mr. Cullen's story about it is HILARIOUS.
@@YouWillBeHappyOrElse If it makes you laugh, then good for you.
I read that the movie producers hired Shane Black as an actor, hoping he would do re-writes but he refused. At which point they decided to kill off his character.
I highly recommend "TERMINATOR" 1+2 !
Definitely!!!
@Raylan Givens tru dat
Yes!
Beans' Mama: I think it's unfair that the Predator has laser guns...
Grandpa from Princess Bride: Who says life is fair?
LOL "Beans' Mama"
The story of the guy who makes the Predator noises is pretty cool. They auditioned hundreds of people and almost everybody made roaring noises and stuff. He almost missed the audition and they almost didn't let him try, but he got in last minute. He gets onto the mic and decides to try something he was thinking of in the car ride on the way, and started making that sound, every single one of the execs are listening and they're dead silent, he blew them away, it was absolutely perfect for the predator, they hired him on the spot
Peter Cullen, the voice of Optimus Prime, is the voice for the Predator, there's a video of him explaining how he did the voice and clicks as well
He is so young. At 40. *laughs in Mr. Universe 1967 and Mr. Olympia in the 1970*
Ashleigh: "You can be quiet but you can't change your body temperature."
Movie: "Wanna bet?"
Mud will block thermal VERY effectively, but only for a short time. If it stays wet and the ambiant temperature is high (like in a jungle) it should cover you for an hour or so. If it is cold/dry it will only work for a few minutes.
I suggest "True Lies" with Jamie Lee Curtis and Arnold Schwarzenegger !
Yeah good one
Sounds perfect!
A crime there isn't a blue ray
Absolutely watch True Lies!
Eraser is good from that era toi
The reason this film resonated so much in the 80s is that after watching Conan, Terminator, Commando, etc we had seen Arnold as the biggest, toughest guy out there beating up EVERYONE.
Then along came the Predator who was bigger and stronger than him, who picked him up with ease like a rag doll, and smacked him around. It was a serious "WTAF?" moment in the cinema when we saw it.
Arnold actually talked about that at the time. He said this was the first time he had to show fear in a movie.
5:19 Thats a military hand signal that can mean "rally point" or "assemble here" usually followed by the pointing of the finger where the platoon leader wants his squad or elements to be.
The predator is just an alien on a hunting trip. he takes billy's spine and skull as a trophy out of respect for fighting him hand to hand.
Hope I'll never get that much respect from anyone...
I don't think it was out of respect. Just as human game hunters (jerks) hang their stuffed animals on the wall as trophies.
@@ZulcanPrime he skins the others
He takes the skulls of everyone but they only show how he does with Billy's body
@@robertoprestigiacomo253 do you remember the beginning with the other unit. hung upside down and skinned.
“Scorpions are like the evolution of a crab and a wasp” that’s actually probably the best analogy of a scorpion I’ve ever heard
Back when he was still cool Rolf Harris showed you a giant picture of a Tick and it looked like a cross between a tank and a bulldozer. He said "I love everything in nature except these , they are evil".
The other guy with the cigar, “I ain’t got time to bleed”, is Jesse Ventura. He’s a former professional wrestler. He was Mayor of my city where I live here in MN in the early 90s. He then went on to be our Governor ushering in the new century.
Cigar?
I remember watching this movie when I was younger and my dad walking in during the scene where they first go into the jungle. He asked me, “have you ever rappelled out of a helicopter into the jungle at night?”
I looked at him puzzled and replied no...
All he said was “I have....”
GOD BLESS HIM!!!!!!! a true hero!!!
My dad, a WWII vet, said I lived through artillery shelling, machine gun firing, grenadines and tracer fire...the worst thing...I couldn’t get up from sleeping because my blanket was frozen to the ground.
Gumbomudder X: Your dad is awesome
Thanks, he was definitely one of a kind
@@gumbomudderx7503 Oh. Of course. "Was." I'm sorry for your loss. I'm glad you have those memories of his awesomeness, though. My father was also military. Army. Us kids grew up thinking he was just a PFC who worked in the kitchen because he said that's where he learned to cook for so many people. haha.
When he died just over four years ago, we were very shocked to learn his rank was higher than we were led to believe and he was awarded a medal. It made me think of the time he told me he worked at JPL as a maintenance guy, but then would talk about the money he'd win from the engineers in chess matches.
I'm starting to think our fathers were variations of Batman. Those tough old dudes were secretive as all get out, and something tells me we probably won't ever know what they Really did. Or what they went through
Fun fact: the helicopter pilot at the end was the 7 foot 2 actor who played the predator. He also played Harry in "Harry & The Hendersons". R.I.P Kevin Peter Hall.
Fun Fact: John Claude Van Damme was original casted to play the predator until he found out no would see his face.
Classic Van Damme, too much of a drama queen to work with (although he chilled out a bit later on).
@@TheGhost00sm Also he was horrible miscast since everyone in the cast were jacked as hell and Van Damme was way smaller than everyone.
@@TheGhost00sm ehhh.....he also backed out when he saw the original Predator costume, which was a cross between a neon-pink dildo and a lobster.
His nephew continues to cosplay as the Predator
"Oh my god, its mouth opens?!"
_Imagine, a mouth that can open..._
Dont be weird
lol I guess she was panicking when she said that.
Another Arnold classic movie is Conan the barbarian. Put it on the list.
Seconded!
Thirded!
Definitely . But Ashleigh should "go with the flow" watching Predator 2 (and getting big Eyes near the end of the Movie ;) )
then Aliens and then Alien Vs Predator .
THEN she can delve into all the funny Arnold Movies (Conan, Commando,Total Recall , etc)
4nd!
@@peterhecker1343 she did Aliens already :)
"He is shooting while on fire!"
*Laughs in 1980s*
Goddamn, I miss the 80s.
this is probably the best predator reveal reaction on youtube
Predator took Billy's body and his skull as a trophy because he was a worthy opponent.
Ashleigh: Carl Weathers could get it.
Me: You, Ashleigh, are ready for the Rocky franchise. :)
YES
I had a rough day a work do to a medical condition recently, and I needed a good pep talk to boost me for they next day. So I watched Rocky III. I never much liked it before, but it was exactly what I needed.
And right after watching it, I also watched Action Jackson for the first time. You know what, that's a really fun movie! Its full of 80s cheese, but it is never boring or unengaging. I'd recommend that to anyone.
And ACTION JACKSON (you know they don't call him that for nothing).
@@commonsensecraziness7595 theres also at least two actors from Predator in it. The supporting cast and bit players are full of "Hey, it's that guy!"s.
@@commonsensecraziness7595 You know, I've never actually seen Action Jackson. I did see the trailer for it with that guy that was VO'd all the trailers in the 1980s. I don't remember his name but I know that Pablo Francisco, the stand-up comic, does it voice really well.
Fun Fact: The black chopper pilot was the guy who played the Predator. He was a regular actor in movies and tv so they wanted to give him a speaking part in the movie.
I think he was in Harry and the Hendersons
@@glenwoodreid5910 he was!
@@glenwoodreid5910 Indeed he was. he played Harry. And that's ANOTHER movie Ashleigh NEEDS to watch.
@@thereturningshadow Ditto!
@@thereturningshadow YES!
It still kinda amazes me that two of these guys went on to be state governors after this.
I've watched this movie countless times from start to finish (it's in my top 3 movies of all time behind the first 2 Alien movies) and I never noticed the continuity error with the wrist ties that you pointed out on the first time watching this. You definitely earned a sub just for that alone
Carl: "What you gonna try next, cheese?"
Ashleigh :"Why not? That's how you'd catch me."
That really made me chuckle Ashleigh, bravo!
I believe the reference is actually to "The Big Cheese", as in, the guy in charge. So he's saying to Dutch, "Okay Mr. I'm-in-charge, now what?" I never thought of it the other way, but it works too.
The "goddamn sexual tyranosaurus"
With the chewing tobacco who "ain't got time to bleed" is jessie the body ventura, a former pro wrestler, actor and also former governor of Minnesota.
Wasn’t he a vet as well? And struggling with PTSD in parts of the movie?
@Helix Nebula Underwater Demolition Team, which was the forerunner to the SEALS.
Ashleigh, I have just found your channel and I am having the best time :D you are so charismatic and funny, I sit here with a smile on my face the whole time! Oh and being a 40-something, its great to watch a 'millennial' reacting to all the movies I loved growing up!
Ashleigh: "Is this an alien movie? Can't wait to see an alien."
Predator takes off his mask
Ashleigh: "I don't want to see your face!!!"
LOL
He actually looked better with the mask on...
Can’t wait until she tackles AVP
Arnold made so many classic movies before his governor run, you can binge watch them and still have a great time. Conan, Predator, Terminator, Commando, Total Recall, Running man, T2, Kindergarten Cop, True lies, and so on. A living legend, the king of one liners.
Yes, please watch Arnold's Conan the Barbarian! Then you will know what is best in life.
His comedies are great! I love Twins!
@@KevyNova he’s one of the very few action heroes that managed to make successful comedies.
Watch Terminator and T2!
Watch Twins and Junior as a double feature. Both star Arnie and Danny DeVito and are hilarious.
The guy with the moustache was former professional wrestler and one term governor of Minnesota Jesse "The Body" Ventura. I've a relative that lives in Minnesota and remember hearing that, during his appointment, there would be cars driving around with a bumper sticker that read, "Out governor can body slam your governor."
I love the fact that there were two future governors in this movie.
They all actors
@@smallhatshatethetruth7933 they were actors, yes
But, there was 2 actors who would later become Governors:
Jesse Ventura and Arnold Schwarzenegger
Jesse Ventura would become Governor of Minnesota and Arnold Schwarzenegger Governor of California
@@karlsmith2570 I'm talking about the rest of the Governors and Politicians
Is that surprising? Actors and politicians are all paid to lie to people. Actors are just upfront about it.
@@ColtonWalker073 Actors lie outside of their profession too, if there is any political agenda to convince the dumb masses the actors are in on it too
"That's the meme!" - I was so hoping she was going to say that.
Memes r my lyfe.
I hope Ashleigh read this. The Predators are a race called the Yautja.
Lol, "Is this the movie where he says 'Get to tha choppa!'"
I said "yes" out loud sitting in public. Now everyone is looking at me, lol.
Nah, my favorite Arnie movie is... "Total Recall" hands down.
Yup but this comes close
I agree!
Commando is one of my top fav arnie movie
But have you seen Conan The Barbarian? The *real* best Arnold movie?
"Get to the chopper" is a famous line that Arnold Schwarzenegger will say in this movie
"Billy, Poncho, get to the chopper!" is the line. And since she already watched it to record her reactions, she knows.
Time for more Arnold, Ash. THE TERMINATOR
Directly (take notes, Ash), *directly* followed by Terminator 2. Really, no other movie between for maximum effect.
@ Also, no more Terminator movies after T2. 1 and 2 were the only ones worth watching. T2 is also the rare sequel that is better than the first. Still, to make is so great, need to have seen the first one.
Ain't nobody better spoil it for her either. I went into T2 knowing its plot and I wish I hadn't.
Conan the Barbarian
I was lucky enough to visit the Predator filming location back in 2015. It's now a zip-line tourist attraction just outside of Puerto Vallarta. The enemy camp seen at 6:16 is now a restaurant. They even have a life-sized statue of the Predator there!
HOLY. SHIT. I gotta go!
I'm bookin' a flight pronto!
@@awkwardashleigh holy shit me too lol.
Seriously? I want to be there! LOL
The girl wasn't a target because she was an unarmed prisoner and a Predator is a sport hunter. It hunts the most dangerous game it can find to prove itself to other Predators, literally ignoring non-combatants for the most part. Also takes skulls as trophies.
The Alien and Predator species have basically existed in the same Sci Fi universe since comics in the late 80s, then books, etc. It has arguably been canon since a background easter egg in the Predator 2 film (not really spoiler, blink and you'll miss it!) My introduction was Aliens versus Predator, a phenomenal game in '99. In it you could play an Alien, Predator or Colonial Marine. Playing as a marine was a seriously scary experience. In the dark, with really crappy night vision, versing Aliens with near bloody perfect vision for anything alive and a Predator with multiple vision modes that all pretty much rocked if used right.
By the same token, as a melee-only Alien, if you were trying to sneak across the ceiling to drop attack or rush a marine and you actually got spotted, those pulse rifles made acidic mincemeat out of you. And the turrets, oh god!
Predator was pretty much invisible and overpowered, but the game threw everything at you and a couple of marines that knew where you were could really hurt. For a really old FPS, the Predator could knock heads off enemies with some spear or harpoon or something and pin them to a wall. Pretty revolutionary at the time, whatever the specifics were. I did enjoy pinning enemies to walls.
If you go on an Arnold rampage I must suggest Conan the Barbarian and the first two Terminator films.
She still needs to watch Conan!
The Predator's face is one of those examples of 80's movie magic that still astounds to this day, and shows one of the great divides between CGI and models/animatronics. Film and real special effects that are done well, especially in that time leading up to CGI, will never really lose their image as they are updated to new media. CGI, even in this day and age, will age as the medium changes due to resolution and never really looking quite real.
Kevin Peter Hall, the man who wore the Predator costume, was the helicopter pilot at the end.
The Predators are galactic trophy hunters. It removed the mask and gun at the end to fight Arnold because it viewed him as a worthy opponent.
He was also Harry in "Harry and the Hendersons" !
Additional fun fact, the Predator is voiced (IE the growl, hissing ect) by veteran voice actor, Peter Cullen, the original and one true voice of Optimus Prime
Ashleigh: Scorpions are so weird to me. They're like the evolution between a crab and a wasp!
Scorpions: We evolved before those guys!
Scorpions are miniature lobsters with their tails turned up instead of down, and a stinger on the end.
great video about how animals keep evolving into crabs czcams.com/video/wvfR3XLXPvw/video.html
Scorpions are thought to have been the first thing on land. Sadly they did not invent real estate and so could not capitalise on this.
"Well, This little mud facial, I bet his skin's gonna be so soft"
Actually, the mud was supposed to serve as camouflage against the Predators thermal vision
When Arnold used himself as bait. The predator learned and used it right back. When he lets them see him in the tree
"He's so young!"
Me: scans her back catalogue: "Oh, yeah, you haven't seen "The Terminator" yet. He aged about 10 years between 1984 and 1987, it's weird.
It's not weird, it's steroids
Nor Conan the Barbarian
Homeboy was gearing his head off for over a decade. All the Gold's gym guys that were around Arnold during that time said he was taking more than everyone else. Except for a dude named Ed who was in his 40s at the time who needed even more to match the younger guys. I still think he looked great until the early 2000s when he started to show his age a little more.
@@BrokenGodEnt Check out pics of him in 77 when he was still competing in body building. The man was beyond massive. I heard a story that they actually asked him to loose muscle to play Conan and I believe it is entirely possible. The man looked inhuman.
@@markcarpenter6020 I've heard the same thing about taking on the Conan role. He was too massive to actually swing the swords around
It’s become a joy to see people watch this movie and say “that’s the meme”
At the “you son of a bitch” part
EpicHandshake.jpg 😆
Ashleigh Burton: "ARNOLD SCHAWRZ -NE.... I don't want to try it, I don't want to try it."
LMAO!
"I guess you saw what he was made of, inside and out."
I legitimately cackled aloud and hit the bell icon for all notifications. :D
Jessie Ventura (the guy with the chewing tobacco) would annoy Arnie by finding out what time he was going to start working out and getting to the gym 10 minutes before him, splashing water on his face so it looked like he’d been working out for ages when Arnie showed up and stayed in the gym until after he left.
Haha that's great
"Catch a predator, but not like Dateline..." Good lord I just love you more and more with every syllable!!!
It makes me so happy to watch young people enjoying the classic movies of my own youth that I still watch to this day. Mad props. Also, beans is an epic pet name.
Few fun facts: The big guy with the tobacco was Jesse (sp?) Ventura, wrestler and former mayor of Minnesota. He and Arnold were the only ones able to lift the minigun without help.
Yes, Arnold really was, and still is, that big. When he goes to a gym, the equipment gets nervous, but excited. He is actually addicted to bodybuilding and exercise, but if you're gonna be addicted to something, there's worse out there. Also, Arnold enjoys cigars, and for a good part of his career his characters would have one at some point if possible.
The Predator is of the fictional species "Yautja". There's an entire comic book series with many crossovers, including Batman and Superman, and I think even RoboCop. They're highly advanced, but not evil. They're hunters by nature, and they don't, or shouldn't, kill out of malice or hatred, or for any reason beyond hunting trophy prey, or hunting food.
The blood of the Predator is made by mixing the stuff in green glowsticks with KY jelly, but it dries and evaporates very quickly.
Some people don't love Predator 2, but I'd argue that it depends on the viewer. I'd say the story was stronger and the characters were done fairly well, but it was more of a straight action movie, while this one was a mix of action and horror.
Lastly, related to the above; what makes a horror movie scary is the pacing, and keeping the monster or killer hidden for as long as possible. Tease with it, give glimpses, and give plenty of clues, but hold it back as long as possible. That way, once you finally see it, you can really show it off. Predator does that very well, as did Alien. I love horror movies, but I'm so desensitized to gruesome violence and scary monsters, it takes a lot just to get me to flinch.
Oh, addendum: I tried Alien: Isolation on the Xbox One, and I couldn't really get into it. As desensitized to horror as I am, when it comes to games, I despise any that have one hit kill enemies I can't fight back against. It takes so long to get the one tool that scares the alien off, and even then it apparently evolves to stop responding to it as much, meaning it can kill you as you're using the one thing meant to give you breathing room. I'd try it on PS4 if I could find a cheap copy, but I don't have the means to do a Let's Play channel to make it worth beating.
The girl got away because she didn't have a weapon it's the reason Arnold kicked the rifle away from her when she went to pick it up.
That’s the *official* explanation, but practically speaking, women are just never allowed to die in a Predator film. Ever
@@Ailurophile1984 Hmmmm. Time for a remake and experiment a few things.
@@Ailurophile1984 What about kids?
My favorite “behind the scenes” movie fact is from this movie: the studio insisted that Sonny Landham, the actor playing Billy, should have a bodyguard with him at all times. This wasn’t because Sonny was in any danger, however. In fact it was the opposite case. The bodyguard was there to protect everyone else from Sonny.
Sonny wasn't very funny, huh?
And then of course everyone actually got along great with him and the whole thing was unnecessary.
Except the bodyguard himself who got an arm broken after Sonny pushed him and made him trip or something, anyways I dont know if this is true but I remember reading about it
Fun fact: The helicopter pilot at the end was played by Kevin Peter Hall, who was also the guy inside the Predator suit. He was quite tall and played other creatures, like Bigfoot in the movie Harry and the Hendersons. Unfortunately he died in 1991 at the age of 35. He had contracted AIDS from a tainted blood transfusion.
One of the coolest movie monsters; the Predator is unique since its entire reason for even fighting the characters is that he's a hunter looking for challenging prey.
Ashleigh: "is he going to use cheese? because that's how you'd catch me" 🤣
The guy says, "I Ain't Got Time To Bleed," was played by Jesse Ventura, who would later become the governor of Minnesota.
And he was Jesse "the Body" Ventura, a professional wrestler like the Rock, and a Veteran Navy SEAL and UDT operator before that. •/;p
Two future governors in one movie, don't think many can make that claim
@@Drforrester31 Technically three, since Sunny Landham who played Billy, also ran for election as governor of Kentucky but failed to be voted in and both he and Ventura also ran for election to the US Senate
@@johnnygnoneeded He'll always be Jesse the body Ventura to me
The guy who played helicopter pilot (Kevin Peter Hall) at the end was also in a costume of predator, but sadly passed away few years later cause was infected by H.I.V. in the fucking hospital!
When you say "Weeeeeee" 6 min in I actually spit-sputtered coffee onto my keyboard... omg... that funny came out of nowhere and sucker-punched me.... LOL - the timing and what was happening when she said it... hahaha... thank you for that Ashleigh... and I will probably think of that moment this way from now on...
In his movie, Commando, a young actress played his pre-teen daughter; she had a scene where she jumps out to surprise Arnold, and tickle him. "It was like tickling a rock" she said.
And that little girl was Alyssa Milano.
@@RichardX1 Yeah and now she's a conspiracy theorist weirdo. She seemed pretty alright until the early 2000s.
@@BrokenGodEnt In fairness the world in general was sane till the early 2000s. Then everyone lost their damn minds.
@@markcarpenter6020 People have always been crazy.
@@Hoganply not like now. This is a self hating, self destructive insanity. I prefer the hedonistic insanity of the 70s, 80s, and 90s.
The predators laugh at the end was it mimicking Billy's laugh earlier
Fun fact: Alien and Predator are actually set in the same universe. The two movies were originally separate, but Predator 2 had a small Alien cameo. This was expanded into a series of "Alien vs Predator" crossover comics, videogames, and eventually movies.
"Memento mori" translation from Latin to English: Remember you are meat. 😉 Great, now I've got the munchies.
I've NEVER clicked play so fast. This is my favorite movie EVER.
YAY!
Favorite line: "Buncha slack jawed f***ots around here, this stuff will turn you into a sexual tyrannosaurus, just like me"
I DIED.
This quote randomly pops into my head from time to time and I've no idea why. It makes me laugh every time though.
@@awkwardashleigh predator wasn't laughing at the end... he's just mimicking Billy's laugh.
@@awkwardashleigh I was visiting friends in Minnesota around 2000, rented this video to watch with them that night, and after that line, I said, “Well! That’s your Governor!”
They weren’t thrilled with the image he projected even before seeing the movie! 😆
In addition to Arnold serving as Governor of California, Sonny Landham (“Billy”) tried to get elected Governor and senator in Kentucky, but failed.
Real talk @ashleigh, your show has become a mental health resource. Keep making rad stuff. Well done.
The reason the girl got away fine is because the predator wants the challenge of hunting an armed opponent. As Arnold said in the movie "It didn't kill you because you weren't armed."
This is a theme continued in Predator 2
Ashleigh: "If the Alien were to take on the Predator..."
Us: There's movies for that too. More than one. Put'em on the list (just not that high up).
Hey we got 2 franchises that are rated R let's put them together in a pg13 film
All thanks to a bloody Easter egg on Predator 2.
No, there's no such movies. Why do you have to lie like that? Who would spread such lies?
It was a comic book miniseries before it was a movie.
@@RichardX1 Which came first, the comic or the arcade game?
Ashleigh, you're part of the family. You watch Alien, then you watch Predator and you immediately go to gaming out Alien vs Predator. Wear your nerd stripes with pride and joy.
Or watch the movies...
@@scottr5661 nah, they suck
i didnt mind them at all they are far from the terrible ,and the fight scenes are good.... the story in the 2nd is stupid but what can you except ....
The raised finger and twirling it in a circle means "gather up". The movie uses a lot of real military hand gestures that soldiers uses in combat so they can give basic commands without having to make a noise. Later in the movie, Arnold raises a hand with a clenched fist. Which means "hold position".
The entire cast went on an extensive military training course to prepare for the movie (although they still shoot from the hip, because it was the 80s and that was just expected of them). Although Jesse Ventura (the massive guy with the moustache) used to be a green beret so he didn't exactly need it. He's probably killed a bunch of enemy sentries for real.
her reaction to the predator actual face is prove that practical effects from that time has always worked as at keeping it as realistic as possible
I think Kindergarten Cop needs a watch. That film shows just how talented Arnold really is as an actor!
she isn't a kid and thus kindergarten cop should only be viewed after terminator and t2 for the proper amount of juxtaposition.
I agree Kindergarten cop is a must now!
James v Cinema just reacted to KC.
He was really funny in this one I must admit. Also in True Lies he is so good as actor!
It's NOT A TUMOR!
“I feel like if the predator didn’t have is weapon the alien could take him”
Basically the plot of AvP
Don't talk about that movie like it's a thing. Not only does it do a grave injustice in terms of depicting both species properly, it's a straight up *BAD* movie. That film is shunned by nearly all fans of both franchises, to the point that is *officially* "not canon".
It assuredly is a thing. It’s a dumb thing that was written in a basement on a bender. But it nonetheless is a thing. Relax.
@@bensnod9159 just because I took a cynical tone doesn't mean I don't have a sense of humor. Plus, just because it exists doesn't mean we need to respect its existence... It's been disowned by both franchises.
Alien 3, Alien Resurrection, all the Alien prequels, Predators, and The Predator (ugh) were all better movies. AVP is worth skipping in favor of AvP:Requiem (not without its own, different flaws- but these are of much lesser severity), which depicts both Xenomorphs and Yautja with much more respect to their lore in comparison... Predalien reproductive abilities being the big exception of course (made for a pretty good horror gore scene though, but it makes me think the writers hate children)
I saw this was up on Friday and I've been dying to watch it since! Finally getting to today and it didn't disappoint. Loved the reaction! Also, I figure many people will tell you to watch the first two Terminator movies for Arnold but I'm also going to recommend 1985's Commando. He's a badass in that one and it's one of my favorites!
Edited to add that "Get to the chopper!" is apparently Arnold's favorite catchphrase from all the movies he's done. Also that great "Stick around!" line was actually improvised by Arnold. Thought you'd get a kick out of that!
Fun Facts: The actor who played Billy had his own bodyguard on set.... BUT....
for him not to beat the cast. (he was kinda crazy)
The actor who played the Predator was Harry - the bigfoot. (Harry and the Hendersons) RIP Kevin Peter Hall (1991)
Lots of love from Brazil, Ashleigh!
The ultimate Arnold movie that coalesced all of the Arnoldness into one singularity is ‘Commando’.
I ALMOST agreed with you, but then I remembered Last Action Hero is a thing, lol...
I could almost agree with both of you... but *Conan The Barbarian* exists.
No need for much dialogue with Arnold, especially the campy one-liners that plagued the 80s and 90s. Nothing against their inclusion, just not necessary for anything other than cheap laughs.
Aside from the occasional cheesy line "Predator" mostly plays it straight, avoiding the B-movie trappings of the genre by taking itself seriously. "Commando" on the other hand is pure extra strength 80s cheddar. God I love it.
"Hey, Sully. Remember when I promised to kill you last?"
"Yeah. You did!"
"I lied!"
Also, any movie that prominently features a M202 FLASH automatically gets my vote!
I could hear steel drums as I read that.
Fun fact: Arnold had a wardrobe person lie to Ventura and tell him that his arms were 1” bigger than Arnold’s. Arnold then baited Ventura into making a bet on who had the bigger arms.
Arnold won the bet when his arms were 3” bigger leaving Ventura befuddled.
He won a bottle of champagne from that bet.
Fun fact: The original idea of the Predator monster was some sort of fish/swamp monster. The original one had Jean-Claude Van Damme in the suit, but he kept passing out from the suit being too hot so they let him go.... then changed the design and hired someone else. lol
I lived in Puerto Vallarta for a number of years and we were just down the road from where a large chunk of this movie was filmed. They turned parts of it into a restaurant that has the blown out Choppa as a piece of scenery
There is also a river with a naturally formed rock water slide there.
I broke my tailbone on that rock slide. Ended up on America's funniest home videos even.
But I like to think I was injured and survived a intergalactic battlezone.
My brother used to make the predator "purr" noise so perfectly, it really freaked me out
"This is my first time seeing Arnold" Oh. We're going to have to fix that. So many amazing movies to see!
How has she not seen the Terminator movies??
Commando 1985
Conan The Barbarian
And she should cap the Arnold marathon off with Last Action Hero, as it's basically a season finale parody of himself.
Ashleigh i only found you a couple months ago and this one is my absolute favorite so far😂😂😂 The "wheeeee!!!" when the guys fall out of the helicopter??? I cried 😂😂😂
I was 11 when I saw this. I still have two of the Predator action figure I got in 1993, one is the clear colored Ambush Predator version molded from the regular predator figure. The edged weaponry featured in the film was created and designed by Knife Smith Jack Crain, and there are licensed and unlicensed replicas of those knives that are sold on ebay.
Since Carl Weathers can get it, you should watch him in "Rocky" (1976) with Sylvester Stallone.
Ashleigh: "You can be quiet, but you can't change your body temperature."
Me: Oh girl, just keep watching.
Ashleigh: "Everybody else is expendable to me."
Me: After she watches about 12 more 80s action flicks, she needs to watch The Expendables.
Loved seeing you
