    Los Angeles is enduring a heat wave and a crime wave. LAPD lieutenant Mike Harrigan (Danny Glover) and his cocky detective partner Jerry Lambert (Bill Paxton) soon realize that what seemed a bloody feud between voodoo high priest King Willie's (Calvin Lockhart) Jamaican gangs and Ramon Vega's (Corey Rand) Colombian drug gang is actually the work of an alien third party. Harrigan thinks the culprit can be found among the warring gangs and drug cartels, but FBI Special Agent Peter Keyes (Gary Busey) knows the horrible truth: Their killer is a fearsome extraterrestrial (Kevin Peter Hall) with keen hunting abilities that include superior night vision and the power to make itself invisible. Also starring María Conchita Alonso, Rubén Blades, Robert Davi, Morton Downey Jr., and Henry Kingi.

  • @Krooksbane
    @Krooksbane 2 года назад +21

    The shootout scene with the Jamaicans always struck me as an example of two things.
    1. They don’t know how many enemies are in the room, because the Predator is able to confuse them of it’s location.
    2. They are PANICKING, and they’re stoned. You ever smoke a big fat J and then have someone start shooting at you? You’d probably panic too, and I’d bet you’d shoot in the wrong direction as well.

    The novelization has great stuff told from the Predator's point of view for fun insight. Best bit is summing up how them tossing Hartigan the old pistol can be one of two things: Is it a show of respect by sharing the trophy of a worthy foe...or is it them telling humanity "you see this archaic piece of weaponry? This is what you are to us. Remember that."

    @jediknightgeo 2 года назад +29

    Said it before & I'll say it again, Predator 2 is a sequel that was done right. Does it have flaws? Sure, but it also respected what came before in the original, expanded on the lore and weapons of the Predator just enough, we saw a lot more of the Predator, Kevin Peter Hall (RIP) played City Hunter differently from Jungle Hunter to give him his own distinction, great cast, very well done action scenes, awesome setting having it take place in the city, cool take having it be a detective story, etc. It wasn't just a retread of the original and expanded on and or changed on the important aspects to make it just that. Director Stephen Hopkins did a very solid job with it, especially when you take into account he had to work on Nightmare On Elm Street 5 The Dream Child (during a writer's strike mind you) and Predator 2 at the same time for a certain amount of time which is insane. While the original is still tops (for me personally) Predator 2 is awesome and is still the best sequel in the franchise.

    The predator's vision was fine, it looked like the mask because the mask filters out the ambient heat. They were in a freezer where there was no ambient heat. Once he went outside his vision was back to red. It's BECAUSE they paid so close attention to detail that you thought it was a mistake.

    This was the first film to recieve the NC 17 rating due to the strong graphic violence that was films but cut from the movie which includes more decapitations and skins getting ripped off as well as Jerry Lambert, Bill Paxton, having his spine ripped out in a close up shot ( This scene is available in the comic book adaptation.)
    Here's a list of other deleted scenes that were scripted, filmed or cut-
    S: Harrigan learns that El Scorpio's body has disappeared from the morgue, taken by Keyes men for investigation.
    S: Harrigan chases the Predator from the subway, as it jumps from rooftop to rooftop. It's rumored that VFX for scene was filmed.
    S: Ramon Vega does not have his heart ripped out but survived and the Jaimacans end up getting killed by the Predator in a warehouse. Vega goes into shock.
    D: Ramon's girlfriend is interrogated by Keyes men and tell them that it was a demon from hell that kills the Jamaicans.
    D: Anna, the survivor of the first film, tells Keyes men that the creature stalked and killed Dutch's men, as if though it was a game.
    S: The Predator aka City Hunter, follows Harrigan through the streets and walks into a taxidermist shop where a jogger sees the Predator decloak, the jogger walks into the shop, but the Predator cloaks, then a moment later, the City Hunter leaves the shop.
    S: King Willie uses a gold plated Uzi as he sees the silouhette of the Predator coming towards him. The City Hunter jumps from fire escape to fire escape. After running out of ammo, he discards the Uzi and uses a sword as his secondary weapon. "You can't see the eyes of the demon." says the City Hunter imitating King Willie.
    S: The Predator, City Hunter, follows Jerry and Leona into the Subway where he jumps on the back of a train explaining how he was able to ambush the passengers.
    S: Keyes explains to Harrigan that Dutch escaped from an army hospital, disappeared into the jungle and hasn't been seen since.
    S: Rather than Harrigan killing the City Hunter, it was the Alpha Male Predator, Greyback would decapitate the City Hunter. He gives Harrigan the Flintlock pistol and Harrigan escapes before the ship flies off into the night.

    I discovered P2 in pretty much the same way Tony did. I already had P1 on VHS and when I was around 6-7 y/o in the late 90's a rental store opened in the small European farm town I grew up in. I vividly remember seeing the cover in a binder (they put the VHS covers in binders to save space) and saying out loud to the guy behind the counter "omg predator has a sequel? I HAVE TO WATCH THIS!"
    And just like Tony I wasn't to keen of it back then but it definitely grew on me.

You guys are absolutely right when you talk about it being the hardest R we had seen up to that point, other than like maybe, MAYBE robocop 2. I'm gonna go on record right now and say as much as I fucking love the original to death, man, idk, 2 is just SO fucking over the top and dirty and grimey and violent that it might be the best of the entire series.

    As much as I love the OG, part 2 is probably my favorite out of the series.
    1. I was 7 when my dad took me to see this. Also my first time seeing a naked woman, and even better it was on a giant movie screen.
    2. I love the way they expand on the Predator lore. More weapons, the face design of this one, the ships interior, a clan of predators and most of all the Xenomorph skull. Just like the 3 of u, I could drone on for hours about this film.
    My father drove us over the downtown LA bridge and pointed out the tunnel Danny Glover walks out of, which was just to the opposite side of us. I was last down there maybe 5yrs ago and it's still there. That was also the same filming location for Robert Patrick's arrival in T2 and the scene in True Lies with Jamie Lee and Bill Paxton.

    I was always more familiar with Predator 2 than the first one ever since I was a kid, as we had it on a VHS in my household. I was a bit surprised years later when I discovered that a lot of people genuinely dislike the film and it's even considered a "shit sequel". I've heard the same story from many people who like the second one.
    These days it seems that the film is getting a lot more respect and quite a lot of people have said that they prefer it to the first one. Honestly, so do I.
    The first Predator film is more of an "Arnold movie" to me while the sequel really focuses more on the sci-fi aspects of the Predator itself and how it operates. At times the film feels a lot more like a comic book than the first one and some of the comedic moments aren't that great, but I still prefer it.

    The line that I always got about this Predator was that he was younger, and more flamboyant. Predator is my absolute favorite movie of ALL TIME, and Predator 2 is more than a worthy sequel. I watch it yearly, and never find myself disliking anything about it...except those close up animatronics

    When he drops down the shaft and after the ship takes off at the end you see that it's in like an abandoned subway tunnel when Harrigan walks out. So don't worry all, the building did not collapse when they left. Lol

    You guys talked about how the Predator could see it's own writing and whatnot, but I've always wondered why their gear, like the medical kit, was designed for creatures that do NOT have giant claws. Look at how awkwardly they have to deal with treating a wound when the kit was clearly designed by a human with stubby little fingers and not awesome talons!

    Love this movie and used to watch it on repeat when I was in middle school. It's so different from the 1st which is why I think I like it so much, throwing the predator in L.A. with the gangs and all that wild shit was cool as hell. Definitely underrated and I'm in that small minority that likes this one better that the 1st.

  • @rei6nofrot
    @rei6nofrot Год назад

    Yeah my favorite two scenes in the movie are him walking through the puddles of water and when he is up in the duct work going through his different filters and sees their lights. You guys nailed it because when I first watched it as a child it was the first scene that was clear the Predator was thrown off guard. The way he pulls back like wtf 🤣 😄
    You guys nailed that one 👏

    • @XanArt21
      @XanArt21 5 месяцев назад

      It felt a bit like a rehash of the first, way too many callbacks. The jungle also was very unimpressive. Also if you are going to have it take place on an alien planet... get a decent budget... cause it looked dull. Some of the super predator stuff was decent but the movie is disappointing.

    First time on your channel. Very funny and informative. I was 12 when Predator 2 came out and saw it in a theater with friends. Different time, y'all. Different time. Great movie with a lot more going on than what's on the surface. It threads a needle between social commentary and sincerely delivers on the action. That's a Paul Verhoeven-like tightrope walk you don't see often these days. It's a great sequel.

    I’m at the part you’re talking about Silvestri. Was watching Judgement Night and it’s straight up unused Predator 2 tracks. Looked into it a bit. Apparently he did really unique score for it.. but studio said it didn’t sound Silvestri enough lol. So just took unused tracks he had. Might be why so much licensed songs too.
