Predator (1987) First Time Watching! Full Movie Reaction!!

Predator (1987) First Time Watching! Full Movie Reaction!!

Comments

I would love them to watch avp the first one. It was still a very fun movie especially the setting

Jesse Ventura was governor of Minnesota for a while; Predator is the movie of two governors! (And who knows, maybe we'll get more as time goes on.)

I consider Die Hard to be the best written action film ever made - so many characters, each with development (including those who just have one moment on screen - think the convenience store guy in his interaction with Al buying Twinkies), so many plot threads, all brought to satisfying conclusion by the end, twists and turns, humor and real stakes - it's writing that screenwriters of the last couple decades have seemingly forgotten how to do. Predator is one of my personal favorites, similar structure to Aliens or The Thing where we start with a group that gets gradually whittled down; it's amazing in that the characters and big destroy-the-guerillas sequence are cartoonishly fun, it simultaneously feels genuinely shocking (the skinned bodies), terrifying, and real - like The Terminator, we totally buy into the premise, suspend our disbelief, and can genuinely feel for the main character(s) as they are relentlessly hunted. For sci-fi-action-horror, Terminator, Predator, and Aliens are at the top of all time, and all came out within a few years of each other. Amazing.

Fun Fact: Billy is one of the construction workers hitting on the underage daughter in Poltergeist. Another great role from Sonny Landham is 48 HRS.

Hahaha America wants governors that can also defend us from Aliens from Outer Space!

the most impressive thing to me about this movie is that it produced three US gubernatorial candidates with two successfully becoming US governors , Arnold the Governator in California. Former Navy Seal/ pro wrestler Jessie 'The Body' Venture (Blain) who was Governor of Minnesota from 99-03. Sonny Landham (Billy) ran in Kentucky as a Republican but was unsuccessfully. lol i don know what that says about America, if anything but it makes me laugh every time i watch this

Those are two very strong candidates for best action films! So glad Sam and I were able to watch these classics!

Forgot about Arnold in True Lies as well.

This and T2 are Arnold at his best. Predator 2 is not bad. An expansion of the lore to be sure. I’m an alien and predator fan but the AVP movies are a hot mess. You’re better off reading AVP in Dark Horse comics.

80s action films are a genre unto their own that is so compartmentalized that it has rarely been done right afterwards. Predator is in my opinion one of the two best action films ever made, the other being Die Hard.
