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.

@alexshank14148 months ago The tree trunk that hit the Predator wasnt a backup plan. It was supposed t o be the weight to pull the Predator up into the sharpened sticks trap. It was just a happy coincidence/blind luck that the Predator happened to stop right under the trap weight. You can see this when Dutch looks up and is surprised that the Predator is directly below the tree trunk. Also, when Dutch activates the sharpened sticks trap with his foot, a vine attached to the tree trunk pulls up through the sharpened sticks trap. .. ...Expand 69

@myleskaplen378810 months ago Fantastic breakdown as always, though i' d like to comment on the end sequence a little. There are vague speculations that dutch considers " sparing the predator' s life" as well as on the intentions behind the predator' s infamous " last laugh" so i' d like to shed some light on this. Please forgive the length)
when you consider that dutch has just been in an epic battle with a powerful alien monster for days, losing his entire team in the process, this is actually the first time he' s ever really been able to confront the thing up close and personal without the risk of certain death, which is why he pauses at the crucial moment, almost unable to believe his own eyes, exclaiming, " what the hell are you? " the predator repeats the same line back to him as if to echo its own surprise/shock at dutch' s competancy as a warrior. At this point, dutch realizes he' s dealing with an entirely new species here, and being in rescue and recon that he is, it makes more sense that he (still in disbelief) might have been considering capturing it alive since the main threat had finally been neutralized. Dutch not killing the predator with the rock was more likely an act of genuine curiosity coupled with concern for rescue/recon protocol.
now, it' s beenthat the predator is aadvanced, highly intelligent hunter who' s mastered space travel, so it stands to reason that it' s self-destruct protocol, while seemingly an " act of honor" does anyone really consider suicide in battle an honorable death? Is ultimately a defense mechanism or evidence scrub to protect the technology and secrecy of its race. The way the predator uses billy' sat this moment is in fact a last laugh combined with humility. It knows it' s just been bested by a human (of which it' s already killed many, including billy) and with its number finally up, must now sacrifice itself on behalf of its own race, just as billy did. Realizing the irony, it even mimicks billy' s laugh physically byalong with the playback. The choice of recording and delivery were intentional here, not simply " its only way ofit turns out the predator actually has an ironic sense of humor after all. The laugh may also have been a subtle nod to the fact that, despite dutch' s brave victory in combat, he' ll never really have any tangible proof of it to show to his own kind, aside from just perplexing, unanswered questions to keep as histhus preserving the predator' s heritage whilst giving it a somewhat hollow victory.
it then finally shows true honor to dutch by timing the localized blast, giving just enough time for him to escape and truly earn his victory. ...Expand 6

@jollygoodfellow395710 months ago The red light is commonly used in military vehicle interiors as it allows you to see well enough while keeping your eyes adapted to the dark. It's not necessarily meant as a metaphor.
The log falling on the Predator wasn't a backup plan. that was the counter weight that was supposed to be used to pull the vine up that would pull the Predator into the spikes in the logs. Dutch simply lucked out that the Predator happened to stand under the counter weight. You can see the vine(the animated image though) rise up after Dutch kicks the trigger to the trap. .. ...Expand 227
