In “Prey” Naru tethers a rope to her tomahawk so that she can easily retrieve it after throwing it. This is so she does not have to get to the chopper.

I thought it was gonna be a joke about Scorpion from Mortal Kombat lol

I thought it was gonna be a joke about Kratos from God of War because that's actually the inspiration behind it which is really cool

Just like the common mistake of "Luke, I am your father" I thought the quote was "Mileena, get to the choppa!" When it is actually "run, go! Get to the choppa!"
Just wanted to point that out because your comment made me think of that.

Bravo.

unlike Hollywood screenwriters there are actually some of us kids who experiments with things like retrievable throwing knives etc
protip: the tether fucks everything up
but then everything about this movie is wishful thinking

It’s a movie where an alien shoots a homing railgun at people and rips a bear in half with its hands, all while wearing an invisibility cloak. A woman who spent her life training to be a warrior being more skilled at throwing something hard to throw than some random guy who probably didn’t spend as much time on it isn’t the most unrealistic thing in the movie.

I admit I didn’t spend thousands of hours practicing throwing spinning edged weapons with a tether because I saw immediately that the tether fucks it up
I also saw from history that literally no one else anywhere used such weapons, despite the obvious advantages of being able to retrieve your weapons? because they just don’t work
but you’re right about that hardly being the most unrealistic thing in a film about a girl who takes out a hyper-advanced killing machine using stone knives and bearskins when history proved that the protagonist and her people would have been easily defeated by untrained drunkards with muskets

Yeah, because the colonists won every single fight they got in with natives. Now allow me to take a sip of my coffee and read this account of the Battle of Little Bighorn…
Second, is it any more unrealistic than, say, turning a vehicle-mounted minigun into a handheld weapon? Or firing multiple assault rifles at once? These movies have never been about realistic weapon use, and honestly this is probably the closest we’ve gotten to it.
And I don’t get what confuses you so much about Naru winning. She spends the whole movie gathering information on the predator: how to make it visible, how it tracks heat over visible light, how, when it was visible, it was unarmored. All of this lead to her being able to formulate a trap that could kill it. That was the whole objective of the movie, of the hunt she vowed to take on at the beginning: to hunt something that hunted her back and learn from the experience.

to believe a creature that damn near killed a while platoon of huge elite special forces soldiers with the latest 20th century weaponry including miniguns and grenade launchers could be even touched much less defeated by a primitive handful of tiny inexperienced natives with literal Stone Age technology…
… well, you go ahead and enjoy your revenge fantasy, because that’s exactly what it is 🥲

Throwing your weapon at someone is dumb in the first place. I had a knife throwing board for years, and would not consider doing anything like that as a defense unless everything is fucked.
There has been a undying zombie like myth about Vikings throwing their axes in melee battles which is also dumb.
No one would do that unless everything is fucked.
—person who likes throwing pointy stabby inanimate objects at stationary inanimate objects.
Since we’re here nunchucks are stupid weapons too.
-guy who like spinny whoopdeedoo weapons also because it looks cool, and good for hand coordination. It’s a stupid weapon tho. lol
-can’t think of anything else to get downvotes for, other than my opinion on mall ninja shit.
Knife throwing/fighting in a real-world scenario as a defense is like playing the lotto and assuming you’ll win the game. The winner dies at the hospital, the loser dies at the scene of the crime.
Something something willing suspension of disbelief in movies or whatever.

fuck you FUCK YOU. Fuck

Haven’t seen the movie yet, but now that her tomahawk is officially a “Chopper” I expect some high intensity rap during the climax.

Slow clap

Ha that’s clever.

That's an amazing edit, but also, what are the apocalypse scenes from? I don't recognize that
Sad tale of Dillon after his time in service.
Where is this from?
Happy Gilmore, and obviously The Predator
Im in!
