This week I've decided to tackle the sci-fi action film Predator which is easily one of the best movies from the 80s. Like a lot of Arnies early action films the movies a classic and in this video we're gonna be breaking it all down. This includes the easter eggs, hidden details and also the making of trivia that shows just how good the movie really is. - Now weirdly the idea for predator was actually inspired by Rocky and a joke that one of the writers overheard. The punchline was that after Rocky 4 that Balboa had beat the Russians that he had no one else that he could fight. All that was left was Aliens and after a Rocky Vs ET joke this inspired screenwriter brothers Jim and John Thomas. Now though they didn't necessarily lean into the Rocky thing they clearly took ideas from Rambo and in my research I actually expected to come across some stuff on Sly Stallone. Him and Arnie had a big rivalry at the time but unfortunately Sly fighting is something that we're gonna have to just imagine.

This is my only 10/10 film. No scene is filler material, no exposition for the audience, genre defining, hasn't aged 1 day. Even the special effects of the cloak would be how one would imagine it to work in reality. It's one of the rare films that if you see it's on, or think about it you end up watching it again and still be caught up in each of the moments.

Another reason it worked so well was the period it was released in. It was at the height of Schwarzenegger's career and the era of invincible ultra-masculine, one-man army, oneliner-quoting action heroes. The movie plays into those expectations in its first part with the introduction of the cast and the assault on the cartel village, with all the expected explosions, gunfire and badass-quotes from the cast included. Then everything changes when something out there is stalking and slaughtering these supposed bastions of 80's machismo like animals, and the audience reactions then would usually be "wait, this isn't how this is supposed to go, wtf is happening!?", and even the mighty Ahnuld is reduced to running scared and hiding in the jungle. It really sold the otherworldly threat of the Predator, and it's something future installments in the franchise were never quite able to recapture.

Dutch’s yell wasn’t him proclaiming he is king of the jungle, he was issuing a challenge to the predator. Calling it to him and the traps he set.

I think I said this on the last one, but really, I think most of Arnie's criticisms as an actor just come from English not being his first language (and being a body builder which brings with it certain stereotypes...). Like, watch a scene of Arnie with the volume on, and then watch it on mute. When you're not paying attention to his thick accent you can look past it to see just how much he's really emoting in every scene. Like he's not being Arnie here, he's being Dutch. And definitely I think he deserves way more cred than he's had.

Ive always took Billy's "sacrifice" as a more warriors stand against an enemy...he disarms any weapons his ancestors wouldnt have and much like the Predators cuts himself to show that he is himself a 'blooded' warrior...

I was lucky enough to visit the Predator filming location back in 2015. It's now a zip line tourist attraction called Canopy El Eden, just outside of Puerto Vallarta. They converted the rebel base into a restaurant, specifically that area where Dutch throws the knife and says, "Stick around." They even have a statue of the Predator there.

On my last rewatch, I caught something. The order they hit the ground is almost exactly the order they die in.

50:17 when you realize how a Predator uses "a laugh track".
