I've heard it was some kind of Indian display of bravery
Or that he was trying to psyche himself into battle by causing himself some pain
Or that he was trying to lure in the :Predator with the smell of blood.
Why did Billy cut his chest?

ahead of his time
he's a billy badass
he finally got the big pussy joke
Booty?
Maybe for adrenaline or the pain causes higher situational awareness.
>pain causes higher situational awareness.
Does it? I thought it takes away your focus from the surroundings to the site of the pain.
You have to eat the pain.
Yeah and the Podesta and his cabal of satanic pedos follow the same brutality of nature. It's frick or get fricked. The number 14 and the fish are a reference to the myth of Osiris as are the obelisks and the waterpools they build everywhere.
>look up myth of Osiris
>ctrl+f obelisk
>0 results
>ctrl+f fish
>one sentence about someone being eaten by fish
Are you sure it has anything to do with that?
Osiris was cut into 14 pieces but his dick was eaten by a fish. His wife Isis made him a new one out of gold and revived him. The obelisks represent his dick rising above the water, like resurrecting. The pool also represents the womb. The original myth just represents death and birth on all levels of nature. You are born, you frick, then you die but you resurrect and continue living through your offspring. A common theme among pagan religions. The occult societies deify the act of sex.
im a bouncer and when someone shirtfronts me i punch myself in the face a few times to get pumped up for the fight
heh im a bit psycho i guess
u sound cute... do you like transwomen? uwu
its been 13 years since i've touched a woman with her consent. mostly i get covered in sweaty wine-aunt scent while i full nelson crab-walk them out on karaoke night.
i consent. pls slap me around too. i want that adrenaline rush before you absolutely break my shitc**t
>i consent
you just killed my boner homosexual
whats the point of a good rape if you're gonna moan and push back.
>tramswomen
You mean men.
I'll pretend for the sake of hearing feminists say, "Women can't compete with men."
What's wrong with trams?
These are the worst kinds of exchanges on any forum. Just go to Discord and be homosexuals there, please.
It's sort of a taunt so that the Predator doesn't just shoot him like it did most of the team.
I've always interpreted it like this.
My take is that he did it to show the predator he was still a threat while not carrying a gun. Showing the sharpness of his weapon and the predator seeing this as a challenge to fight not just an unarmed/helpless man who the predator wouldn’t think is sporting enough otherwise.
Yeah thats what I figure too. To show it that he's only using a melee weapon, billy is taking a risk to fight it at a chokepoint on the bridge. He knows he has no chance in the open field or trying to use a gun like the others, but he's also aware of it hunting for sport and using OP ranged weapons when humans have guns. He figures why not try to take a risk and fight it in melee where its only option is basically standing infront of him on the bridge. Even if it's invisible, at least he can swing a machete at it and it cant easily get behind him. He knows he is going to die buy at least may be able to buy time for his friends.
>So notorious were Landham’s tendencies towards violence that the insurance company for the film appointed him a giant bodyguard to keep him under control. The director, John McTiernan, would go into detail about this in a behind the scenes documentary.
>“We had this 6’8″ tall giant who just had to follow Sonny around 24 hours a day the entire time he worked on the movie and make sure that Sonny never misbehaved,” recalled McTiernan.
He was just getting it on, that wasn't even in the script originally.
>Sonny lost both his legs and lived out the rest of his days in a wheel chair before dying miserably
Whoops, maybe shouldn't have been such a shit to everyone and they might have cared
>6’8″ tall giant
why wasnt he playing the predator then?
also, ive always heard this, but never seen any pics of this.
Cuz they had a 7 ft guy to do it
He lacked the mobility
So he was just a real one
there's zero evidence he burned local
typical out of control, alcoholic tribal american
Billy never met the Predator, some of his blood dripped on the log, he slipped and he fell.
Dumbass redskin.
He was denying the Predator first blood.
>if you bleed first, you win
Thats not the point, moron. He knew it was an unwinnable battle.
newbie
you have to be a man to understand you slack jawed homosexual
> if it bleeds you can kill it
It was badass you fricking gay
It's an intimidation tactic.
Transition ritual, he defeated his own deadself and part if that required cutting off his breast
If he defeated social norms regarding sex predator doesn't have shit on h-ACK
What if Billy threw away all of his weapons and the Predator found him in the fetal position crying and his pants full of piss and shit?. Would he let Billy live?
Yes. All those big, strong, alpha men could have easily defeated Predator just by dropping their gear, crying, blubbering, filling their britches with shit, and acting like wimpy little babies. They'd have walled out of the jungle just fine with the only thing wounded being their pride
>realizing this as this as an actual strategy that would work according to the lore
Fricking hell.
Probably work.
The predators that are on Earth hunting humans are breaking their own laws to begin with, so there's no guarantee that they would not kill you out of simple disgust.
I mean, if we're going by comic lore, there's no telling what a Bad Blood would do in that situation.
At best, I would go with a coin flip on the odds of him ignoring you in that situation.
Don't forget, this same Predator shot a crippled guy just a few minutes later for fun.
He had already been attacked by that guy. He was fair game.
I can't argue with that logic.
Although, Pancho was crippled by no fault of the Predator, and that could be why the Predator just headshot him with no fanfare because there would be no fun in hunting him anymore. I mean, he could have shot Dutch easily, but chose to remove the guy that was dragging Dutch down from fighting to continue the fun. Still, I don't think curling up into a fetal ball covered in your own shit would be enough to dissuade the Predator from killing you. Like you said, all of the team had shot at him by that point, and the Predastor was not going to stop until he was satisfied, and he already knows from observing the team that they are not going to just lay down and take his vengeance.
>I don't think curling up into a fetal ball covered in your own shit would be enough to dissuade the Predato
That's where you're wrong kiddo. That's almost EXACTLY was Arnie did, and it made him invisible to the Sexual Predator.
If the entire squad figured it out sooner that covering yourself in brown made you invisible to it, more of them would have survived.
I don't think it was that concrete in the first movie. Maybe the Predator would be ashamed of them and kill them anyway because he knows they are supposed to be warriors, and he's seen them fighting earlier.
>I don't think it was that concrete in the first movie.
He let the woman go when she was unarmed, he clearly has some honor/rules about only hunting dangerous game.
I think at that point anyone that had raise arms at the Predator was dead. I think he’d find you pathetic, kill you and leave the skull if you just dropped and didn’t do anything after being being hunted that long.
There's no guarantee the Predator wouldn't just kill them anyway out of spite and pettiness. The Predator is not a mindless animal, it has a personality and knows the men were considered warriors in their own culture.
It's also a hypocrite who uses its tech to give itself a huge technological edge.
The Predator is not really an honorable person.
It takes a ton of prodding from Dutch to get it to give him a fair fight.
But many years from now, when lying in their death beds, would they not give up all the days from now and then for one chance
JUST ONE CHANCE
To show the predator that he may rip out their spines, but he can never take their freedom.
No evidence of that. He only spared unarmed females. Dutch was unarmed and on the run. Every man was fair game.
It's because native Americans were a backwards violent culture of pillaging and raping and blood sacrifices. Yet we all have to pretend their all the crying Indian, sad that the smart white people came and worked with them to wipe each other out and then civilize and develop the land.
lol fricking zoomers think they invented self harm now?
How did the Predator think he was some big badass hunter when he is using vastly superior technology and is 8 feet tall and all muscle by virtue of his species?
I know a guy who thinks he is badass for for coyote hunting.
Does he shoot at them from helicopters?
Because if he shoots them from helicopters, he is a badass.
he shoots at them from his little red wagon that gets towed by his older brother using a tricycle
That's pretty rad.
Coyotes are dangerous frickers who'll use TNT and catapaults loaded with boulders on you.
Truly the acme of hunting animals
heh
This guy is so close to figuring out the core theme of this action movie
So what's the theme of the movie? That all life in this universe is based on predator-prey dynamic, like a hierarchy and no one can change a thing? If you're not a predator then you're the prey?
Pretty sure the idea was that we have this team of best of the best of the best with honors killers on the planet and all of them are nothing against just one alien.
I've always thought it was cowardly as frick that they use cloaking in addition to all the things you mentioned. I guess hunters use camo, though.
Humans literally kill animals for sport with vastly superior technology from a fricking mile away dressed with a ghillie suit and neutral scented soap
And I'm 100 sure that if a gorilla taunts a human cutting himself with a stone, the human would just still shoot it anyway
i aint no b***h pred
It was the Indian thing to do!
Cuz it looked fricking cool.
He finally let himself become a sexual tyrannosaurus.
He should've done what Schwarzenegger did, just belt out a loud, primal yell. Shit was hilarious.
Indians had several bravado rituals like that, the Cheyenne dog-solders had this thing they'd do where they would take a spear and pin their buffalo cloaks to the ground with it so they would be unable to retreat from the enemy tribe's warriors. A lot of their cultures really prized bravado and self-sacrifice in combat.
I'm Cheyenne and I've never heard of this. We used to beat the frick out of each other with clubs and if someone could best you and spare your life it was considered more humiliating than if they would've bashed your head in. That's against other plains tribes, though. I've heard we would just shoot savages such as Comanche and Pueblo like animals.
maoris had hill-forts that contained their women and elders
they would surrounded the hill fort with their soldiers, knowing that if they lost the battle their women would be raped and their elderly/kids would be killed and ~~*raped*~~
british square formation
No need to lure, he knew the Predator was coming. I think it's him both psyching himself up because he expects to die and also a signal to the Predator that he's willing to fight 1vs1 without any gun. By this point Dutch had realized it didn't attack the girl because she was unarmed, so it would make sense the Predator would eschew its own ranged weapon if you faced it with a knife. As long as you accept it had the mindset of a weirdass trophy hunter on steroids.
>As long as you accept it had the mindset of a weirdass trophy hunter on steroids.
What if the predator taped Billy's mouth shut and dragged him around a bar in front of other Predators before shooting him?
Why would you tape Billy's mouth shut before shooting him?
So he can't bite me.
At least he can't talk
>that he's willing to fight 1vs1 without any gun.
Exactly.
he knew he was already dead so he was kind of losing his mind
so people could go WHOAAAA BA DUR DURRR BA FINKY? SINKY DOO? SIPPA RIGHT DUR. HE JUBBA DUBBA ZIPPY DOO
Literally nothing was happening for 45 minutes he had to do something at some point!
Good monster movie, horrible action movie
It was a challenge and a taunt, spoken in a simple share language. "I don't fear pain, if I can do this to myself, imagine what I can do to you". It just so happened in Predator culture their trophy doing that gives them a huge throbbing alien boner, see how lovingly the Predator was caressing Billy's skull afterwards!
Do you think it answered Billy's challenge for melee combat? Or it just blew a hole in his chest with the plasma cannon?
I think the way it was treating Billy's skull like a prized trophy showed that it killed him in a close quarters fight. It seemed almost eager to do it again to Ahnuld at the end, maybe it didn't get enough to satisfy it.
Close quarters uncloaked, but it lasted like 2 seconds. Billy swings his knife, Hunter catches his hand, shanks him with the wolverine claws with the other.
Cuz it was kino and he knew the cameras were watching
Mac's death was great. He had spotted the Predator, was being super sneaky, gonna shank it and carve his buddy's name into it. Then blam! Predator was standing over him smirking the whole time just waiting to blast him in the face.
I liked it too, they had no idea about the thermal vision but the viewer did and knew it had spotted them and was just playing them. That fricking leg twitch haunted me as a kid.
>On July 23, 2008, Landham appeared on the political radio show The Weekly Filibuster, where he was asked, in relation to past comments of his quoted in the Louisville Courier-Journal, if he was calling for the genocide of Arab people. He replied, "I call for outright bombing them back into the sand until they surrender and if they don’t surrender, then you continue the war. Because if you don’t, you will never have peace in the United States. Now do you want peace in the United States or do you want to live to some utopian ideals that are impossible in a world?" He further called for Arabs to be banned from entering the United States, and referred to that ethnic group as "camel dung-shovelers", and when questioned on this, suggested using the epithets "rag-heads" and "camel jockeys".
Never a more based man has been born
I had several classes with him at the University of Kentucky. He talked like this nonstop and would get into heated arguments with the professor during every class. He got mad over Arabs and foreigners the most, but women were a close second. He used to have a website where there was an entire section dedicated to how horrible his b***h ex-wife was. It's been down ever since he died and I can't find an archive for it.
I mean, look at the US withdrawal from Afghanistan. If you're going to war, finish the damn job, don't act like you can be friends and ignore that only then years ago you glassed their whole country.
That only happened because a moron with no experience was elected and his goal was to embarass the US in any way he could. Otherwise the US would still be friends with Afghanistan
He wanted to give predator aids
In the novelization he had an epic battle with the predator. We were robbed.
I think at that time it would haven’t been as great as what our imagination would have been. It would have felt clunky like the yakuza fight in Predators. plus it would kinda dilute the Arnie fight a bit. It works best just the build up and then just cutting to a scream. Great and haunting.
I always assumed he was psyching himself up and going into some kind of ‘berserker’ mode
Why did everyone else get atomized by the Predator's plasma canon but Dutch just got a superficial cut on the arm?
Because the blast hit Arnold's rifle?
I wondered that too when I saw this movie back in the days of VHS, but on a DVD rewatch as an adult, I was able to see that the rifle got smashed from the hasty shot the Predator fired while Arnold was shooting at it.
He was flexing
Was his fight with the Predator ever even shot? Always bothered me it wasn't shown.
so Predator can see Light of Prayer's discharging from bioelectric machine of an ALL Designing Creator
predator was a bible movie?
I'd watch that.
Should I watch predator, bros?
Bumping this question
Is that a yes or a no?
dat soap opera doe
Why does this look so weird and why is their movement all weird speed?
That depends. Do you want to become a sexual tyrannosaur like this man?
They had feathers and were mostly scavengers, so no
Slack jawed homosexual.
You're saying it like it's a bad thing.
What species of bird is that?
I can't tell if you're joking but if you haven't seen Predator yet then yes, watch it. It's a genuinely great movie.
I genuinely haven't seen it yet. I'm a zoomie tho tbf
wtf
he wanted to shave but he missed his face
he was having a LEEROY JENKINS moment
>LEEROY JENKINS
Who?
He means a fake PR stunt made to go viral.
>this made boomers drizzle out their cum in laughter
It was a different time. You could consider that a cop-out but I can't think of any other way to explain it.
To be fair there was a little bit more to it than that, it was this world of warcraft skit where the nerds are all sitting in front of a dungeon autistically crunching the numbers on their plan when the beer-drinking frat guy comes back from being AFK and immediately charges in getting them all killed
Not fake. Voice acting by professionals is never that perfect.
not funny by modern standards but basically a guy that recklessly charged into a dangerous situation with the results you'd expect
Probably they just filmed Sonny having one of his freak outs and terrorizing the crew and used it.
im boxy
>Billy
No. That's "Spirit" from GI Joe. He's waiting to face his rival "Storm Shadow".
That's right c**ts! Snake Eyes was retconned. Spirit was always SS's arch nemesis.
Please don't give them any ideas.
To draw attention to his physique.
>Look at my muscles, fricker. I've no fear of you.
he was about 99.999% towards levelling up his knife mastery - so one more cut and he'd have a higher level and be able to defeat the predator.
didn't work since he didn't have the camouflage ability.
Should have waited mid fight to level up for the free hp restore.
He's an Indian outlaw, half Cherokee and Choctaw.. He's one of a kind
I loved the last scene where Arnie was like "If I'm going down, I'm taking you with me you FAT FRICKING gayGOOOOOOOOOOOOT!" *boom*
I don't remember that line
>he didn't see the director's cut
Any of you amerimutts boned a "native American" before? What're they like? Are they kind of moronic or something? (Not like moronic Americans would notice lmao).
I reckon I could go for some injun poon. Bet they do anal and everything. Then you can smoke some peyote and get them to suck your poop dick while you fall asleep. God I hate Americans so much.
Well I'm giving it to this married Mik'Maq broad from Nova Scotia. She's cute, shortstack, total "wine aunt" sorta vibes. Squirter, which is hot.
She's really fricking dumb, though.
I watched a porn film he starred in. pretty frickin gross
Ancient native American self defense mechanism. He was cutting into the stink gland beneath his skin to overwhelm the Predator's senses.
For the Predator to smell his blood.
he wanted to make the predator's kill dishonerable because now he was literally wounded.
The stupidest thing about the comics and expanded lore was making Predator le honorable. He was NEVER honorable in the movie. He's just a fricking hunter. He wants a challenge sometimes and that's it. He fricking kills Blaine from behind. And Mac standing above him invisibly. He doesn't have some stupid code where they need to be in top shape and given a chance against him
its two or three men out there. the mans losin his cool
He wanted to fight the Predator without guns, like good old warriors, and was indicating it to him.
he was sacrificing some blood for some rage or energy - he was getting psyched up
I think a lot of you miss that the movie relies heavily on visual components
The predator vision was about the coolest thing to see as a child watching this for the first time
The action and everything was over the top and unrealistic
It was a movie of fantasy it didn’t have to be some perfect defined world
I think because most people here grew up with videogames as a predominant form of entertainment, they need complete worlds, well defined rules and the worst word ascribed to it, lore
it was cool to SEE him rage out and go beserk via the scene showing him cut himself like a boss
that’s it, think no harder about it
add it to the list of reasons why the current filmmakers suck, they think like Cinemaphile
You never see Billy die. What if he was the predator all along and just faked his death?!?
Possible.
Pretty sure you do see his corpse get mutilated by the predator shortly after that
Yes, that's Billy getting his skull and spinal column ripped out. The body kicked and discarded to the jungle floor.
Also of note, the blood cut on a chest appears black in the predators heat vision. Always thought that was a cool effect.
Billy Badass
He probably had AIDS and wanted the Pred to be infected
All these decades later, and autistic morons still can't be bothered to learn the difference between honor and sport.
