Its a dope action flick period. One of the reasons is Michael Peter Hall played the Pred again and he embodied that creature. Rip.

I remember in a different predator 2 thread people were like "How can Danny Glover fight a predator when he was already close to retirement in Lethal Weapon" like these dudes think these movies are in the same universe or something :dead:

Still the 2nd best Predator flick hands down. Great action and violence, cool characters, a worthy sequel.
Yeah the criticism doesn’t make any sense now as it’s clearly established this LA is hell on earth lol and he’s the best cop in the city. A city where it’s shown in a scene that every civilian is armed and there are full blown gun battles on the street and cartel massacres every day.

Arnold handling a third world peasant insurgency with a team of top flight mercs is nothing compared to what Glover was going through every Friday afternoon.

I can see that point but I think that’s why a lot of Predator films and media have failed trying to copy the original. Take the biggest badasses and have the Predator hunt them. Ok. But I don’t think that’s why the first film was successful. It was because the Predator was inserted into a film it had no business being in. This was supposed to be a Rambo, Commando, Dirty Dozen type film and wait here is a space alien that shoots lasers from its shoulder and can turn invisible.

Same reason why Predator 2 works. Let’s make a 80’s/90’s detective nior/action thriller, you know Lethal Weapon but wait there’s a psychotic space alien that just kills everyone. They even have Bill Paxton playing the cocky young rookie Riggs character from Lethal Weapon and he gets decapitated lol.



Yeah yeah yeah let’s have the Predator fight samurai, and knights and Inca warriors. fukk all that I want the Predator being dropped into more genre films. Imagine the Sopranos with a Predator in it. Paulie walks into the Bing and Chrissy’s hung upside down skinned. The Predator just wacking mobsters left and right. Tony doesn’t know what the fukk is going on. The Predator is cutting into the garbage collecting business and he needs to do something about it.

Great post. Would be nuts to see Predator dropped into a horror film lmfaoooooo

To me this was a fun silly movie. Not to b taken to seriously. Danny Glover basically saved a city from a psychotic alien not with military expertise but urban tactics, street smarts and well shined shoes. It's has all the 90s main stays like over the top gangs, etc. No where near the original but cool in its own right.

This was my first predator movie. Saw this at the theater at 5 years old. My uncle was babysitting me and took me to go see it.

Though the first predator is great, the second one has alot of charm. It was one of those perfect transitioning movies from the 80s to 90s. I can see if you saw the first predator where this one might be jarring. But i absolutely love that it was so different.

Shout to my uncle. 1990 was a piff year for movies. He took me to see Arachnaphobia and Home Alone that year :whoo:

predator 2 is a great movie. urban jungle wild shyt. not on the level of pred 1, but that's an all time classic. none of the earlier predator movies were really sequels the the prior movies, although they had references to previous predator encounters throughout.

one interesting angle of pred 2 was how the military boys had dirt on the pred, or so they thought, and still got washed.
