Others say...
"Rumble in the concrete jungle" I remember when I first saw Predator 2 I was blown away. Not many sequels can be as great as their predecessors but Predator 2 was just as exciting as the first one.
Premise: Predator stalks it's prey in Los Angeles right in the middle of a gang war between a Hispanic gang and a Jamaican gang. Lt. Harrigan(Danny Glover) investigate the bizarre murders of these gang members while a special agent named Keyes(Gary Busey) plans to capture the Predator to study it.
Opinion: Predator 2 is an action packed ride with a few flaws. The only person you get to know is the hot-headed Harrigan. Everybody else in the movie comes and goes. Danny's anger is over the top sometimes. But the the storyline is decent and Harrigan stood his ground and fought Predator to a standstill like Dutch did without getting a royal buttkicking like Dutch got. The best scene would have to be where Predator wreaks havoc in the subway train. Predator 2 was trying to be its own story not copy of the original. And for those of you bashed it because of Roger Ebert lets not forget that he gave Rocky And Bullwinkle, Blair Witch Project, Indecent Proposal, Cheaper By The Dozen 2, Conan The Destroyer, Spun and hold your breath Speed 2 and Home Alone 3 thumbs up! Think about that next time you blindly accept his opinion at face value. At any rate, if you are looking for a great sequel Predator 2 will not dissapoint.
"Not a great effort!" This was not a great effort at trying to reproduce the same feel of the first Predator. Danny Glover makes a good cop but not a good action hero.
"Hokey, poorly written and acted, but enjoyable enough" Predator 2 is basically a remake of Predator, only set in Los Angeles. The two films follow the same exact story structure, with the Predator killing people without them knowing, and with one guy finally catching on and defeating the Predator in a climactic one-on-one battle.
Stephen Hopkin's direction, while not on par with McTiernan's, is intense and exciting enough to keep the viewer interested. Unfortunately, the script by the Thomas Brothers is...terrible. Not as terrible as AvP Requiem's, but bad enough to induce some cringing at the dialogue. Danny Glover gives a decent performance as the unlikely hero, Lt. Harrigan, but everyone else is just reading off of note cards (not that they had much to work with anyway). Many of the characters, like Tony Pope and Jerry Lambert, are just plain dumb and obnoxious.
Thankfully, the effects work by Stan Winston, is, as usual, fantastic. The Predator itself looks great, and Kevin Peter Hall gives a very different performance from the first film. While the first Predator was smart and stealthy, this Predator is arrogant, showy, and pretty much out of control. When Harrigan finally defeats it using its own weapons, you can't help but applaud.
In short, Predator 2 is great for fans and okay for everyone else. It's not original, innovative, clever, or even all that GOOD, but it's more enjoyable than most sci-fi action movies.
"One of the best Sci-Fi creatures of all time takes center stage." This movie is obviously not as classic a film as Predator 1, but if you were a fan of the creature, it more than satisfied the desire to see more of this strange creatures methods and mayhem. This movie is pretty violent and curse-laden even by today's standards, even the two AvsP films seem tame in comparison to this. It establishes a really cool backstory to what the Predator actually is and for some reason you just end up loving them and not despising them as an evil heartless killing machine. Check your brain at the door and you'll love this movie.
"Bad Bad Hunters What you going to do when the Come for you" Bad Bad Hunters What you going to do when the Come for you. A review of Predator II This is Jarrett Suhr again aka Narku Junior, and before that AKA Slagar the Cruel. The first time they visited the earth a single life form wipe out all but three survivors of and elite crew and a crew of marines from the previous encounter. The predators are back again this time there stalking in new hunting grounds right smack in the city of Los Angeles. This time it's up to young black action hero Danny Glover know for his action pack shooter thrilled lethal weapons and it three sequels. In an earlier version of the script was original supposed to star Arnold Swartznager and Danny Glover together. Unfortunately at the same time the second terminator was in the process of being written so make a long story short Arnold turned down predator II instead chose to work on the second Terminator instead. What you get is action pack sequel that takes place right in the middle of a vicious drug war which last about the first 20 to 45 minutes of the movie then disapates. It has been teen years since the first movie. The movie was hot in 1990 takers place in 1997 about ten years after the last incipient. Can the young Danny Glover stop this deadly foe and his new weaponry include a deadly bus saw like boomerang weapon or will La be turned into a pill of rumbled and lifeless mutilated corpses. Find out in the thrilling conclusion. This movie is not recommend for those under the age of 17 or from Jamaica, Porto Rico, Africa because of gang violence and creature violence, gory and disturbing images dark religious and spiritual content and one or two parts of brief adult sexual content and a lot of use of the F words and other really bad profanity. If you like this and 17 or older the alien movies and the two AVP movies once the second one is release later this year will be right up you alley.

What our customer's say!
"predator", this was a gift for grandson, too much blood and violence. If I was a parent, it would not be permitted in my home.
"Guns, explosions, skulls, skinnings, hangings, bloodcurdling screams caused by an ALIEN?", Uhhhh.....There's this one scene where the Gov't agents led by Agent Keyes (Gary Busey. Remember Mr. Joshua in Lethal Weapon?) attempt to corral the Predator in a over-sized meat locker; they're supposed to be wearing these suits that block out their heat signature (that's how Predator sees you) but they are carrying these 1 million candle-power lamps, which generate heat. Okay, one glaring inconsistency that most people wouldn't notice.
Danny Glover (Harrigan), the rogue cop (remember Murtaugh from Lethal Weapon?) is mis-cast in this strange, goofy sequel to the original (the original, being far superior to this offering). And in fact, acts like the Murtaugh from Lethal Weapon. Maybe, they should have asked Mel Gibson to play his side-kick in this one. Nahhhhhh..... wouldn't have made a difference.
Reuben Blades (Danny) and Bill Paxton (Lambert), who play the other cops in Glover's "team" get their turns being gutted by the Predator. And Maria Conchita Alonzo (Leona) plays a stereotypical rough-and-tumble, almost-gutted female cop, who's spared by the Predator; because she's pregnant. Boy, does she have some terrible lines.
Oh well, there's lots of gunfire (and lots of bad acting) in the opening scenes (with lotsa' scumbags), and in the transit car gun battle (armed citizens and gang members) with about every assault weapon available (at that time)!
The final duel with Murtaugh, I mean Harrigan is anti-climactic. To say the least. Kent McCord (ADAM-12, for you oldsters) is Glover's superior.
"One of Hollywood's BIG mistakes", When this movie first came out and was in the theaters, it was rated NC-17. It was probably the best Sci-Fi action movie ever put on film. A few months later it came out on VHS tape rated R. They had cut about 15 minutes of the movie out and gave it an R rating. Only someone like me who went to the movies to see it would know. The R rated version leaves out alot of stuff, mainly the good action/violence scenes. It seems quit choppy and leaves you wondering a few things that were explained in the original. If the people who make these DVD's have an ounce of brains they will find the NC-17 version and put it out before Christmas. They'd sell millions of them. R. Lee Rochester, NY P.S. I would give the original 6 stars
"in many ways, better than the first", predator 2 is a very intertaining movie which i think is better than the first in many ways. the GOOD parts of the movie are listed bellow: -new fancy gangets for the predator to play around with. -better affects than the first -good acting -and LOTS of other stuff. i highly think that whoever liked the first should get this.
"GREAT CREATURE! & GOOD IDEA! & POOR SCRIPT = OK SEQUEL!", It's a shame that the makers of this movie didn't finish this promising , but incoherent script. I liked the original 'Predator' film and a sequel could have been interesting and fun. Unfortunately, the film doesn't know what it wants to be, it's serious one minute and then it's a satire? This throws off the balance of the entire film. Between plot holes and contrived situations it just feels rushed. With a few tweaks here and there this could have been very good.
It's OK popcorn fair, but it will never come close to the original. Once again a great creature design and some new cool weapons are introduced, but this film ultimately leaves you dissatisfied. The 2 disc DVD transfer looks very good and there are more than enough extras on the set.

"A classical", If you like the science fiction movies, you must to see these one, specially if you enjoy predator or alien collection.
"Hunting Season Begins, Again...", 3 years after "Predator" starring Arnold Schwarzenegger wowed audiences worldwide, 20th Century Fox had high hopes for even more box office success when they released "Predator 2". But this sequel wasn't without a major problem at first, when the film was to begin shooting, Arnold was busy filming "Total Recall" and unable to return for the sequel, leaving the creative team with a starring role that needed filling; instead of choosing yet another hulking muscle man to fill Arnold's shoes, Fox went with veteran actor Danny Glover who was having great success alongside Mel Gibson in the `Lethal Weapon' series. With a new actor in the lead role, a different director behind the camera, and a different type of story and location, would "Predator 2" find great success with audiences or would this be one hunt that was doomed to failure from the beginning?
"Predator 2" takes place in the year 1997, in Los Angeles during the middle of an intense heat and crime wave that is sweeping the city. While the people cope with the heat, the cops of the city are fighting a very deadly war on crime, but the fighting is getting a little easier. Because something is killing the drug dealers that are running L.A.; however, no one knows what the killer looks like. The cops are opting to simply let the drug dealers get wiped out by this unseen assassin, but Lt. Harrigan (Danny Glover) feels that there is something far worse than your average killer behind these murders, and when he comes face to face with this killer, he'll soon find out what it's like to be the predator's prey.
When Arnold had to pass on filming the sequel to "Predator", generally a sign of bad things to come for the movie, it was a surprise that Fox went away from the action hero type of actor to play the lead. Going against what logic would dictate, at least what would stand for logic in Hollywood (basically the `keep using what worked before' mentality), 20th Century Fox brought in Danny Glover (not exactly an action guy) to go one-on-one with the galaxy's fiercest hunter. To my surprise, and probably to most people as well, Glover functioned surprisingly well in this type of role, and delivered a very believable performance, especially in the action scenes with the predator. The main supporting cast consisting of Gary Busey and Bill Paxton were equally memorable in their roles; Busey as the government agent whose intention is to capture the predator no matter the cost, and Paxton as a newly transferred cop who loves nothing more than seeing action on the streets. All of the actors really delivered strong performances, which was nice to see in this type of movie. Having the actors actually take the material seriously even though it is science-fiction raised the quality of this movie up beyond your typical monster movie fare.
The story for the movie was well paced with plenty of plot developments keeping things moving, not just seeming like just a bunch of talk simply to fill in the time between action scenes. I enjoyed the change of location from your average jungle to the urban jungle of Los Angeles, giving the predator a different environment to adapt to and new prey to hunt. The story also explored some of the code of conduct for the predators, which was interesting; such as, they won't harm unarmed people, they won't kill pregnant women, and if they are beaten they will take their own life. It was nice to see that the creators of this franchise wanted the fans to gain more of an understanding of what these predators are and why they do what they do, so I'm glad they brought those elements into the story, to give them more character rather than being just bloodthirsty killers.
As was the case with the first film, and that of the `Alien' franchise, great kudos must be given to the costumes department, in particular Stan Winston's work on the predator suit. 20th Century Fox must have really wanted to make the predators into iconic monsters of modern cinema, because the creatures were given much more screen time in this film than they were in the first one. Clearly the choice to give more screen time to the predator paid off, since they have successfully joined the ranks of being one of Hollywood's greatest movie monsters/villains of all time, serving as a testament to the great work that Stan Winston and his team put into this creature's development.
Two interesting side notes regarding "Predator 2": one, at the end of the film when the defeated predator kills himself and Lt. Harrigan is left on the ship by himself, when he looks in the trophy case you see a skull of a xenomorph or `alien' from the `Alien' franchise planting the seeds for the inevitable showdown seen in "AVP: Alien Vs Predator". Two, actor Bill Paxton has been killed on screen by 3 of the biggest villains/monsters in movie history, and they are as follows: the Terminator ("The Terminator"), an alien ("Aliens"), and a predator ("Predator 2"). Just thought I'd share that useless bit of information with you all, so now you've learned something.
"Predator 2" managed to deliver to audiences an exciting thrill ride that fully equals the original film on every level, and to some may even be better than the original simply because you get to see more of the predator this time around, and the action is kicked up very early on. A definite must see for fans of the first film, the `Alien' franchise, or just action/monster movie fans in general.
"Predator 2" is rated R for violence, language, and brief nudity/sexuality.
"Calling all morons!", This sequel is so bad it's almost funny. Everything about this movie sucks--the acting, the direction, the plot. The original Predator was an o.k. movie and you can usually count on sequels to be weak, but it's shocking how lame this follow-up is. A studio actually funded this? Or, was this move a summer project for high school students in their A.V. club?
"I LOOOOVED THIS SEQUEL!!!", I'm not a huge fan of sequels, but, for my money, PREDATOR 2 is one of the few that works. Writers Jim and John Thomas took their creation which worked so well in the Ahhhnold original and brought the hunter to 1997 Los Angeles, a "different kind of jungle". They amped up the excitement, the weaponry, the carnage, the pacing so much that this is the most over-the-top film I can think of. As a matter of fact, the over-the-top'ness is what makes this so much fun! It bears no resemblance to reality whatsoever. It keeps its tongue firmly in its cheek through the Bill Paxton and Morton Downey Jr. characters, so that the almost constant action never gets too heavy. Danny Glover, the great Ruben Blades and Maria Conchita Alonso all get to crack wise, Kevin Peter Hall as the Predator mimes a very distinct personality into the creature, and Alan Silvestri's percussive music is astoundingly great! PREDATOR 2 is one of my favorite mindless popcorn action films.
The new two-disc Special Edition set contains a buncha extras: TWO commentary tracks, the first from Director Stephen Hopkins, the second from Writers Jim and John Thomas. There is a brand-new documentary on the making of the film, a slew of vintage featurettes, a heapin' helpin' of trailers and TV spots "He's in town, with a few days. . .TO KILL", full-length versions of the "Hard Core" TV segments (sans voiceover), and a behind-the-scenes still photo gallery.
Don't look for heavy-handed drama in PREDATOR 2. It's supposed to be fun! Enjoy!
"Awful Acting", I found this DVD real cheap and bought it. I really tried hard to like the movie, but I just couldn't because the acting was incredibly bad, especially that of the bad guys causing havoc in the city. Even the guys who don't have lines display bad performances.
An hour into this movie you ask yourself why you torture yourself just to watch a bad sequal to a good movie. I broke this DVD and threw it out, something I've only done to 4-5 DVDs I felt needed to disappear off the face of the earth.
