It's an mexican thing

Only a man can get this movie

Cutting their own chest? Why?

>dont you know i am loco
it seems "crazy" to you, doesn't it. inflicting pain. go back to tumblr faggot.

It means "pain matters very little to me". Its to unnerve ones attacker.

Quds for spic spasticity

>Hearing how he had bodyguards to protect others from him
Was he really that unstable?

Do you mean him cutting himself?

It's intimidation tactics, showing his opponent that he doesn't fear pain.

The scene itself is to show that the Predator is not an "honorable" combatant that will cast aside his technology to fight on even terms. He sees humans as we see insects, not worthy of a "fair" fight .

Did he really cut his chest or was it fake blood?

everything in predator was real

Copypasta from earlier thread:

- bloodletting for scent of an animal that can detect it
- posturing that pain/injury is insignificant to him
- demonstrating that they both bleed and are on some unbalanced level of equal ground
- keeping himself extra alert by a single, sharp cut of the knife
- not allowing the alien to land the first hit
- a demonstration of sacrifice to satisfy he beast's hunger for a moment to protect the other men
>there's somethin' in those trees and it ain't no man
it could be any of those things or a combination. regardless, billy knew what was up and wanted to confront his tormentor.

he was a porn star

>The scene itself is to show that the Predator is not an "honorable" combatant that will cast aside his technology to fight on even terms. He sees humans as we see insects, not worthy of a "fair" fight .
But why did he do a samurai swordfight with that chick later on.

Are you implying something in predator was fake?

>But why did he do a samurai swordfight with that chick later on.

wat

Are you memeing me or do I have a really shitty recollection of this movie?

he was calling the alien away from the others. it would see the blood, know it was self inflicted and see it as a challenge...

... and then billy fell off the log

>who you trying to mess with ese?

No I mean in one of the shitty sequels. IIRC in one he fights a Jap with a katana, and in one he has some kind of a honorable melee with a chick, my memory is a bit hazy so I think I combined the two into one.

Sonny is Cherokee and Seminole

so he's mexican

I've heard this so many times but never an elaboration on it at all.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA"
What did he mean by this?

because of the (((echo)))

That sounds retarded. I never once thought the original predator was anything more than an alien hunter killing men for sport. No hint of any kind of desire for "honorable" combat.

We don't see him fight billy. We simply hear him scream so your "not honorabre" weab shit can fuck right off.

1, 2, S and even AvP showed Predators have honor.

There, this is the one with the Jap dude.

i watched this for the first time a few nights ago.

I want my time back.

>Predators
You're ghostin' us, muthafucka.

Yes, it was untalented garbage. Felt like it was written by a bunch of twelve year olds.

You're right, but we do see Billy's back from the Predators POV so we can assume he stabbed him in the back. When do we see in Predator 1 that they are honorable combatants? If my memory is correct, the only reason he ever fights Arnold hand to hand is because his technological advantage was taken from him.

The others are all from different creators anyway so it's not like there's any kind of internal consistency.

morpheus wasa the best part

>captcha: select all images with candy

WANTS SOME CANDY?

Then kys or look into the actual predator lore and comics.

Preds/Yautja are honorable as fuck.

In 1 he disarmed and fought Arnie hand to hand.
In 2 he fought Glover in a melee before the tribes chief rewarded him for defeating the hunter.
In Predators the evil preds fight honorably with the katana as evidenced here In Alien Versus Predator, the pred fights side by side with the n egress and in the end they mark and award her for completing the challenge.

The entire fucking reason they do hunts is for honor and to prove yourself.

>- bloodletting for scent of an animal that can detect it
yes
>- posturing that pain/injury is insignificant to him
yes
>- demonstrating that they both bleed and are on some unbalanced level of equal ground
>unbalanced level of equal ground
irrelevant and doesn't really make sense
>- keeping himself extra alert by a single, sharp cut of the knife
bad
wasting adrenaline early
>- not allowing the alien to land the first hit
irrelevant
>- a demonstration of sacrifice to satisfy he beast's hunger for a moment to protect the other men
irrelevant, if anything it loses all interest when the prey gives itself up, he was just in the way of a narrow bridge with a big river gap
>there's somethin' in those trees and it ain't no man
so? yautja doesn't give a shit about that
billy's being arrogant by pretending he has extra sensory perception that can actually help him fight when in reality it's just a self-insert for vague muh spirits

>In Alien Versus Predator, the pred fights side by side with the n egress and in the end they mark and award her for completing the challenge.
THAT is what I was talking about in with the chick, sorry for misremembering.

You are looking for something thats not there user

He fights Arnold hand to hand because it's for the thrill of the hunt/fight. This is nothing more than a game to the predator, a trophy and a story to tell his other predator bros. "Yo, this nigga on Earth put up the best fight eva"

LONDON

To add, Predators don't kill unarmed opponents if they can help it because there is no honor in it.

>Pred2 he spares the detectives life because she's pregnant

In the comics one clan of predators adopts a human female and teach her there ways. She becomes just like them and even fights the evil predators that were in Predators. The chick from AvP is a reference to that.

Not that guy but why would anyone be interested in predator lore of all things, it's like the dumbest most thick shit imaginable. They literally thought to themselves "What would happen if some people would focus just on hunting and evolve on a singular focused path", not much variation or storytelling there.

Even as far as testosterone filled fantasies it can work as a novelty one timer but overall it's pretty weak.

fuck off capeshit faggot.

Comic book aficionados pretty much.
Pred comics certainly aren't deep but they do deliver on action.

Honestly if ya wanted something with depth we have books. Comics are just the in between for those that are too dense to read but too restless to watch a movie or play a game.

BUNCH OF SLACKJAW FAGGOTS AROUND HERE

>predator lore
>comics

All of this came after the original. You can't apply them to the original work that was created independent of those factors. Again in Predator 1 he attempted to kill Arnold with his cannon at every attempt, and only after being forcefully stripped of his technology does he fight. Not because he chose to but because he had to.

Maybe, but I was thinking the same thing about people claiming he had honor. In the first movie, which we have to examine in a vacuum since the others were independent creations elaborating on an idea in their own way rather than continuing a specific lore or vision, there was no attempt (that I can recall) by the predator to fight on even terms.

I guess I always saw the Pred as a cold, emotionless alien whose tech far surpassed our own hunting men down for fun. Almost like humans hunting deer. Never a creature in pursuit of an honorable fight.

hey

turn around

>and only after being forcefully stripped of his technology does he fight

citation required.

it willingly dropped the cannon and removed the mask to fight him in melee, because the predator was enjoying this.

When they see humans not worthy of fighting they just don't bother with them.

Man I must have a shitty memory of the movie, I know his cloaking got fucked in the water, and didn't his cannon and mask get fucked up when Arnie shot the explosive at him?

>All of this came after the original
Yeah but that doesn't change the fact the pred willingly disarmed itself to fight arnie in hand to hand.

Alright, I'm going to assume that this is correct then. I was under this assumption Disregard my shit

doesn't kill unarmed girl, doesn't kill Dutch with blades but rather picks him up for a fist fight.
Also he choses the strongest opponents he can find (rather than some poor villagers). That is called honor in combat.

>now you know the truth, I'm a freak, a killer
t. Eric Foreman

His cloaking is negated by water yeah.
He was injured by the explosive arrows dutch shot at him, and eventually he and dutch end up in the water. The pred removes its arm canon then mask and arnie quips his famous line "You're one ugly mother fucker", the pred roars and the fisticuffs are on.

It's been theorized that the reason the predator shoots Poncho and not Anna or Dutch is because it's a mercy killing.

Yeah, chalk my shit up to a poor memory of the movie.

It's fine man, the thread was mainly about why billy cut himself

considering how long it took him to get the big pussy joke, it's probably because he was a retard

He was afraid of being embarrassed

very bad idea running around the jungle with open wounds, asking for an infection and gangrene

Kek, fuck man, I had the exact same captcha in a pared thread the other week.

They know.

He did spare an unarmed girl

>mfw I see Predator being discussed on Sup Forums

I always interpreted it as Billy's attempt at not ending up a trophy. Based on what they had seen with the other bodies, Billy probably assumed that the Predator was skinning his prey to use their hides as trophies.

Him cutting his chest is like saying "yeah you're gonna kill me but you don't get to have me as your trophy." Which always made me sad that it's the following scene where we find out the Predator uses the skulls instead.

he had many gay lovers who had to pretend to have a reason to be around him

that was a great scene though. When you you the laughter through the predators ears it sounds eerie psychotic. You get the sense that humans are just as strange as aliens. It's all subjective.

>be indian
>named billy

damn his people were rekt

it was a good scene, though I wonder at nerdo's motivation in telling billy big pussy jokes

>"Billy! The other day I went over to my girlfriend and said 'Ya know I'd like a little pussy.'. She said 'Me too, I'm a fucking carpet munching dyke!'.............Ya see she also wanted it...............because she..............was a carpet munching dyke."

HER PUSSY WAS AS BIG AS A HOUSE

Wasn't there a thread yesterday about his they're remaking this right now with an all female cast?

I thought that too. Why do people assume it's anything but?

I found the thread, it was Bloodsport

to show he is impervious to pain, le warrior meme

That assumes whatever hunting then feels pain.
It also assumes it's a sadist.

No as a tracker/hunter it's definitely a point of ruining the hide like said

But that's a sequel, and the sequels are shit compared to the original.

MY DICK'S LONG AS A MILE

Is it just me or was that scene where they all shoot into the jungle a terrible idea for 7 or 8 trained SAS type fuckers?

Even if he wasn't an alien he could have just gone behind a big tree or hidden in a ditch somewhere right?

Was it to show that they were scared?

>S and AvP
(you) fuck off. I'd rather have someone say source-less bullshit than someone who actually welcomes these pieces of shit in the franchise.

>A-koo-chee-moya. I pray on this day of memories, to speak to my father - the one whom the wind called... Kolopak. Though I'm far from his bones, perhaps there is a spirit in these unnamed skies who will find him, and honor him with my song. A-koo-chee-moya.

Primitives do all kinds of weird religious shit

Predatory animals can smell blood.

holy shit i'm a movie genius

>unbalanced level of equal ground

>yautja
Stop pushing this shit. It's predator, period.

I always figured he was making it easy to smell his blood so it would come for him, like how most predators on earth react to smelling fresh blood

kill yourself

I don't think the Predators have "honor" like we think of it, more like a code for hunting that the HAVE to follow or else they get in trouble because it would be cheating. Like, I doubt all licensed big game hunters in Africa give a shit about the lions they hunt, but they still have to follow the rules.

well, lions are more powerful than humans, physically, so we use guns. but predators are more powerful than their prey, so adding advanced technology to that is just overkill, it's cheating already

>that one guy who calls predators "yautjas" every single time he mentions them for nerd cred or to make him look cultured because he reads children's comic books or novels

>irrelevant x2
Billy didn't know what he was about to fight. He viewed the predator in terms of the myths of his native american culture. I'm pretty sure he explicitly states this but its been awhile since I had seen it.

I see a lot of retards here with "muh lore" well you can go fuck yourselves. Original writers are Jim and John Thomas, supported by Shane Black (screenplay and directing for the first movie) and Stephen Hopkins (director for the 2nd).

Expanded universe of predator is reddit tier level of shit fan fiction. If you seriously like anything in there, you don't belong on this board.

You know what? The Thomas bros. and Black are fucking back for 2018 and they're making a direct sequel to the 1st movie.

No this is called a safari.
Dixit the fucking original script from the fucking original writers.
