Welcome to the Heavy Spoilers show I'm your host Paul and after our breakdown of Terminator I promised I'd be back with another big Arnie Movie. 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.

Predator is a movie so good that if today’s studio was given a unlimited budget with the best actors, they still couldn’t achieve what this masterpiece did!

[SolidPain]

One of those movies that you can rewatch at any time. Truly a masterpiece.

[SteveBrant]

I've lost count of how many times I've watched this. It's such a huge adrenaline rush of a film. Great retrospect as always!

The team blindly firing into the jungle, juxtaposed with the Predator blindly firing into the jungle is a great scene.

One of my local TV stations aired what they called "Sci-Fi Saturday" one weekend when I was perhaps 7 years old. They played Predator, then Predator 2, then Aliens, all back to back with no filler. It remains the single most joyful day of television I've ever watched. Thanks for doing these, I stumbled across the channel through your Terminator 2 video and was super impressed. So glad to come back for more!

25:15The tree trunk that hit the Predator wasn’t a backup plan. It was supposed to 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.

I watch this film at least once every year, and I still have the same reactions as the first time I saw it. It really is timeless.

Huge thank you for checking out the video. Thanks for all your support on the Classic Movie Breakdown series.

This movie, along with Commando, defined my childhood. My friends and I would watch it over and over, and go off into the woods and re-enact it. Even now, decades later, it hasn't aged. Just perfect.

[johnstevens]

Always loved The Predator. It was way ahead of its time and still watch it now and again. The main thing that made it so epic is the Score. The music used in the scenes fits perfectly with whats happening and adds more emotion with each particular scene.

I was born in 1986, this movie and Terminator 2 were my favorites as a small child. I played the VHS tapes so much they started to deteriorate. I still watch them whenever I get a chance. Thanks for the breakdown of this classic!

[MrCarnivoure]

4 movies shaped my youth. Predator, Terminator, Rambo and Robocop. Shame they don't do movies like that anymore 😢

[sequenza]

Hands down my favourite film ever. It's perfect.

[Jealod]

I’m 40 and grew up on these movies. My dad would always rent Arnie movies, regardless of how violent or gorey, and the two of us would stay up late watching them. So it hurts me to point this out… because I love this movie and have watched it with my 9yr old… but if the predator had various options for its vision, you’d think it would switch to something else when it couldn’t find arnie and multiple fires had started, blowing out its vision. It eventually threw off its helmet but a little too late. Still love it all and wish more movies nowadays realize what made arnie movies so great. It wasn’t crazy cgi or shaky fight scenes… you cared about the characters… you could see growth. I was 9 when I saw terminator 2 remember crying at the end. You wouldn’t get a movie like that anymore

This movie and Aliens are the two movies that made me absolutely love sci-fi. It came out 2 years before I was born so I grew up watching it on VHS repeatedly. I have a core memory of my mom telling me I was going to wear out the tape.

Good times. Simpler times ❤

[redpillnibbler]

Blain saying “I aint got time to bleed” is one of my favourite lines in movie history.

[paddypoolfc]

Big shout out to bill Duke. He was immense in this movie. Fabulous performance.

[faceless]

I always figured the ending laugh was the Predator acknowledging the absurdity and humor of the situation that it was somehow still bested by the cunning of the last living member of the team long after he was stripped of all of his friends and fancy guns. It's more like sharing a laugh with a friend who also understands the situation rather than a last attempt at cruelty and spite.

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. The enemy base camp seen at 13:37 is now a restaurant next to the river. They even have a life-sized statue of The Predator there!

*rest in peace Kevin Peter Hall* a terrible, tragic thing to have happened to someone who seems to have been a genuinely nice bloke.
At least he will be immortalised and always have his fans as the predator
