Predator: Peak Cinematic Masculinity

1987's Predator is one of my favorite films. It's rich, it's groundbreaking, and it's a shame that the franchise has been struggling ever since. "Predator" follows a team of commandos led by Dutch (Arnold Schwarzenegger), a skilled mercenary, who are sent to rescue hostages from a guerrilla group in a Central American jungle. However, after successfully dealing with the enemy, they realize they are now being hunted by an invisible alien creature known as the Predator. This extraterrestrial hunter uses advanced technology to track and kill humans for sport, employing thermal vision, cloaking devices, and an array of deadly weapons. Directed by John McTiernan Written by John Thomas and Jim Thomas Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers, Jesse Ventura, Kevin Peter Hall, Sonny Landham, Richard Chaves, and Shane Black #predator #actionmovies #videoessay Discover tranquili-TEA with 10% off at https://www.thedragonstreasure.com/ Code: VEXELECTRONICA Support the channel on Patreon: https://patreon.com/VexElectronica?ut...
