Predator wreaked havoc in the jungle and struck box-office gold, so Hollywood logic dictated that Predator 2 should raise hell in the big, bad city. Los Angeles, to be specific, and this near-future L.A. (circa 1997) is an ultra-violent playground for the invisibility-cloaked alien that hunted Arnold Schwarzenegger in the previous film. Scant explanation is given for the creature's return, and because Ah-nuld was busy making Total Recall, Danny Glover was awkwardly installed as the maverick cop (is there any other kind?) who defies a government goon (Gary Busey) to curtail the alien's inner-city killing spree. But why bother, when the victims are scummy Colombian drug lords? Don't look for intelligent answers; director Stephen Hopkins favors wall-to-wall action over sensible plotting, allowing Stan Winston's more prominently featured Predator to join the ranks of iconic movie monsters. And anticipating Alien vs. Predator in comic books and in theaters, there's a familiar-looking skull in the Predator's trophy case! --Jeff Shannon

Underrated sequel 7.5/10 part 2 is on Predator/Predator 2 gift set reviews June 23, 2009
J. Paul (hell MI usa)
Predator received mixed review when it was released in late 1990 much like Robocop 2 which was released around the same time because of no Arnold. but in some ways it's better than the 1st in others it's not. It stars Danny Glover as L.T Mike Harrigan Gary Buesy as Special Agent Peter Keyes Maria Conchita Alanso as Detective Leona Cantrell Bill Paxton as Detective Jerry Lambart Ruben Blades as Detective Danny Archileta Kevin Peter Hall is the only returning character as The Predator. Story Jamaican & Cuban gangs are at war it takes place 10 years after the 1st Predator movie basically Cops Mike Harrigan, Leona Cantrell, Jerry Lambart, and Danny Archileta are in a shot out at the beginning of the movie and when the Cuban's run into a building to reload the entire group is killed by the Predator. The Predator kills the team 1 by 1 like the 1st movie only Harrigan & Leona live. CIA agent Peter Keyes wants to capture The Predator kind of like the Weyland Yutani in the Alien series. Harrigan hates him.

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? August 9, 2008

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 August 6, 2008

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 July 7, 2008
