To do the Predator stealth mode shots, I think they use the same camera footage shooting the background, in layers cut into shapes of a sort of topographic map of the Predator, and they increasingly distort the image as the layers represent thicker parts of the creature. For the awesome water shot, I think what they tweaked from their usual approach is they also desynchronized the video on the layers, so each layer is showing the shot a few moments earlier than the last. This gives the splashes the illusion that they are wrapping around the Predator’s feet as he moves through his step, and even kind of look like they’re splashing up again when he lifts his foot, when really we’re just seeing one splash for each footfall distorted in time through the layers.

Then they recorded the actor in the red chroma key suit following the same path and timing, then spliced the footage together as you described. Really cool shit for the time, still looks great.

Then I saw both movies and realized that whoever wrote that BS hadn't seen either movie, because that's the _exact opposite_ of what happens in both movies. Arnold outsmarts the Predator with the mud and traps, while Glover just beats it in hand-to-hand combat using its own weapon. It taught me not to trust reviews and previews.

@@OnyDeus That doesn't really make the comparison work. In the first movie you have the elite mercenary team, the baddest fuckers around, encounter a deadly alien monster they can't even _see,_ and they wig the fuck out. The deforestation sequence is a display of brawn with no brains, just panic, and they get picked off one by one as the movie goes, until Arnold's character is left with almost nothing, but he has learned enough important things about his enemy that he can finally outsmart him and win. In Predator 2, the planning and preparing isn't the idea or makings of Glover's character, that's by Busey's character and his guys, Glover just discovers this on his quests as a detective trying to figure out the truth of these wild killings. Busey's planning _doesn't work,_ he tried to be clever but the Predator still outsmarts him and kills him, Glover finally defeats the Predator by being a better warrior who never surrenders. Even when he realizes that there's a half dozen more of these beasts, he doesn't give in, he's ready to continue giving his all until the end, and that's probably why the other Predators respect him and let him go, complete with a souvenir. I never really thought about it until just now, but I realize that this is an inversion, and not a bad one, especially when you consider how the movie is generally pretty derivative of the first one. When you consider how incredibly quickly this movie was written, shot, and edited, that makes it all the more impressive. Predator 2 _is_ derivative a cash-in sequel, but a shockingly good one, all things considered.

Regarding the FX in the alleyway scene: they dedicate plenty of time to describe this particular special effect in one of the making-of featurettes on the DVD/Blu-ray release, something that really stuck with me throughout the years, impressive as it is. Hours were spent to film that little episode: basically, they had to shoot multiple identical takes both with and without Kevin Peter Hall present in the scene. The whole puddle assembly had these little panels underneath the water that would punch up to simulate the heavy steps of the Predator. KPH would then have to act out the same scene in time with the effects. It was heavily choreographed and then put together in post as a single shot. I may forget a couple of things here and there but that's pretty much the gist of it. 😄

Hollow Man (2000) used the same technique I think; the wiki describes the repeated takes on a precise mechanical track, as you have said. To isolate the desired parts in that production, quote: "Where [Hollow Man] was outlined in smoke, water and blood, [Bacon] wore a latex body suit, face mask, contact lenses and a dental plate all of one color; green was used for blood, blue for smoke, and black for water" (Douglas Keesey, 2006) That film looked great and there's a couple of very similar scenes to the alleyway scene. I wonder if it was the same Sony fx crew.

The first movie was set up as a stereotypical military action film that turned into a sci-fi thriller. The second movie was set up as a stereotypical cop action film turned into a sci-fi thriller. As I remember, the rest of the Predator movies stopped doing this and just played it straight instead of using some popular action movie type as their setting.

Here's how I THINK the footsteps were done: 1. They started by filming the footage of KPH's footsteps as he walks through the alley. 2. They then did the exact same shot with everything in the same place as the earlier shot, but without KPH in the shot. 3. They then took the footage of KPH walking, and keyed him out with footage of the alley when he isn't walking, but with a compressor going off in the footsteps. 4. They rotoscoped some electricity onto it to cover-up some of the less convincing frames. They may have used a different lens for 2, or did something to distort the image a little (but not necessarily). Because the Predator's invisibility distorts the image behind it, nothing looks weird about splicing the two shots together.

I always feel bad for people who only know and/or interact with AvP from the movies. There's some really cool stuff out there for that series too.

15:49 Hopkins is actually Jamaican. I believe in the original script the gang was supposed to be Rastafarian and/or some variety of Obeah, but the producers were afraid the audience wouldn't know what that was, and made them change it to Voodoo. King Willie still namedrops Rastafari terms in his dialogue, so I'm assuming the change was made pretty late.

"...really famous scene of them all dancing in the ship" I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE AND THANK YOU, RLM, FOR SHOWING US!

Dear Colin, the pants trophy case edit had me HOWLING on my couch. Thank you so much for that!

One theory I always liked about the Predator's motivation in this film is that the one we follow is the young blood of the tribe. He needs more weapons, he's more reckless than the Predator in the first film with how often he dives into crowds rather than always picking people off one by one, allowing himself to get more easily and more heavily injured than the one in the first film did, even the roar we hear throughout the film is a higher pitch than the previous movie.

Hollywood 1997 is always a nightmare: Terminator, Escape from New York, Predator 2... if only Robocop commited to the same timeline.

Man, I hated JNCO pants and the people that wore them. Seeing them in the trophy scene was the funniest thing RLM has put out in a long while. Kudos to Colin for that.

One thing that I think people miss about this movie is that the "Predator" from the first movie is not the predator in this movie. In this movie , Danny Glover's character is The Predator.

I have never been more disappointed in a film than I was in The Predator(2018).

The first Predator comic was released in 89 and followed Dutch’s brother John, who was a NYPD Detective, hunting the Predator during a heatwave. It’s basically the exact same idea as Predator 2. Also Alien Vs Predator comic was released in 90 and I think was just an idea from the studio. The original AvP comic was great and is on a futuristic desert planet and has a similar plot to the movie. It’s like a avp space western. I’d recommend those early dark horse comics

_Aliens vs. Predator 2,_ the video game (of all things), has one of the best plot ideas for a Predator story: the hunter tallied a man as a successful hunt on its scorecard, but the guy got put back together with modern medicine, so all the hunter's there to do is put him down and make sure its stats stay cherry

_"The original AvP comic was great and is on a futuristic desert planet and has a similar plot to the movie. It’s like a avp space western."_ In the comics it's the same universe as the Aliens movies, meaning theres also Colonial Space Marines in the AvP comic universe, like depicted in the AvP first person shooter games. It's an awesome sci-fi action and horror setting because it combines xenomorphs, predators and space marines in a "natural" way, like they all just belong into that same universe. Something the movie adoptions completely failed to grasp, particularly the first movie, when they make the setting current-day.

This is one of my favorite movies that I've been singing the praises of for decades. And I still think it has aged amazing. So many cool set pieces, so much lore, actually great cast...so much amazing Danny Gloverisms.

The special edition Predator 2 DVD from back in the day explains how they did that scene in the alley. Still crazy how they did it never the less.

The film flopped because for some reason Fox released this film for Thanksgiving and had it compete with another film they released...Home Alone. Rocky V also came out along with a pair of Disney films (Three Men and a Little Lady and Rescuers Down Under). Fox had Predator 2 and The Exorcist III and they decided that for September and October they were going with Pacific Heights and Marked for Death

I’m not sure how they made the Predator camo effects in this movie, but I saw a clip on how they did it in the first one. They shot the scene twice with 2 cameras - one with a closer zoom and just the background. The Predator actor would move through the jungle wearing a red suit (to contrast with the green background). Then in post they would matte in the zoom lens over the red character. Genius way of doing this before digital effects! @RedLetterMedia

The Pants edit is incredible. I wont be able to watch Predator 2 again without expecting the pants.

Bill Paxton is the only actor to have been killed by an Alien, a Predator and a Terminator! Lance Henriksen almost counts thanks to AvP but the Alien Queen doesn't really 'kill' him in Aliens.
