If the first Predator movie concerned itself with the Reagan White House's illegal drug-money-funded death-squad-enabling wars of terror and regime overthrow in Central America, Predator 2 is the domestic blowback that results from the CIA flooding the cities of the United States with guns and crack in order to disable revolt and enact widespread genocide economics, justifying a massive for-profit mass incarceration protocol immediately upon the horizon. While Predator 2's depiction of gang life might be broadly surreal, the idea that Black and Latino organizations are fighting each other and the underpaid stressed-out footsoldier cops and the DEA in order to buy into a system devised purposefully for their own annihilation is very much a reality. Predator 2 has more…

"Okay, pussyface. It's your move."
"Shit happens."how stupid this is cannot be overstated. but what it lacks in losing McTiernan's graceful geography and Arnold's sheer charisma it makes up for with a cranked-up Danny Glover and level of cartoonish luridness that would make Frank Miller wince. the Morton Downey Jr.-fronted tabloid news, the ridiculous "urban jungle" conceit (complete with Jamaican voodoo gangbangers in gold lamé parachute pants), straight on down to Gary Busey, bathed in ultraviolet light, trying to hold off the monster with a high-tech fire extinguisher. the last 45 minutes is basically one giant chase scene, almost entirely shot in graphic novel splash pages, monochromatic, all surface. a jolt machine.

After twenty years I still have nothing but love for this.
We all have this kind of film. A film we know is flawed, but we love it anyway. I can point out what's wrong with it (talking Predator, hello!!??), but I'm not going to, you already know what's wrong with it. I'd rather talk about what I love about it.
I love that this time it takes place in an urban jungle.
I love the cheesy depiction of a 'future' L.A.
I love the Paxton, grinning his way through his crappy dialogue.
I love the Busey, chewing his way through his crappy dialogue.
I love the final battle between the Glover and the Predator.
I love the final scene, hinting of a universe yet to explore.
I just love it. Period.

Watched with Stephen Hopkins commentary; the most interesting thing I learned was how incredibly complicated it is to make an invisible Predator walk across a puddle of water.
I also enjoy how sweaty this movie is. In one scene, Bill Paxton sweats through his shirt AND his jacket. A true hero.

There's a shot in this towards the end, Danny Glover is on the Predator's ship and he sees a bunch of skulls of the Predator's other kills, one of which is clearly the distinctively elongated head of our old friend the xenomorph. This reminded me of when the world was young, and corporate America hadn't quite finished corrupting pop culture into a never ending polluted river of tie-ins, sequels, reboots, crossovers, and you could just have a shot of a xenomorph skull without it being a commercial for the next movie, just a cool little thing most people probably wouldn't notice, for the fans. Where did we go wrong?

[my wife and i, watching predator 2]
“look, it’s a WAP”
me: huh
[she gestures at a shot of the predator, mouth wide open]
“it’s a WAP, a Wet-Ass Predator”

1990’s Predator 2 portrays 1997 L.A. as a drug riddled cesspool of ultra violence—a concrete jungle battlefield of anything goes filth infested anarchy, filled with rabid gangs, Rastaman drug lords, chaotic street warzones, cocaine factories on every corner, King Willy, more blood/explosions/guns/violence/insanity, Robert Davi, and to top it off it exists in a world where someone put Gary Busey in charge of a special ops team. Hold on to your butts.
I love this absurd sequel. -
61/100
Aged, graded, and packaged cheese of ultra violence and piercing expansion, Predator 2 feels like a complete subversion of the original classic, only revealing its original vitality when its candy-colored components are spurting out.
It's also another one of those 1980s experiments that happened to be released in 1990. Aged cheese has never tasted this good.
-
weirdly clunky and regressive, and dumb even by the pulp standards its aiming for, but its total cartoon rendition of LA gang wars (combined with the mythic lore stuff) is largely fun and the kills are gnarly so who am i to complain? danny glover as an intergalactic gladiator? sure. why not.

Awful, noisy, and hysterical sequel. A depressingly incoherent jumble of urban-blowout clichés. Poor first act, meh second act, and passable third act. This is more of a comedy, with a bad plot and acting throughout. Almost all of its screen time is taken up by explosions, chases, shootouts, heads being blown off, and people being sliced in half, and the strange thing is that after 40 minutes, it's no longer scary. How did they progress from Predator 1 to this? Instead of being creative, their imitation of the original provides only mindless entertainment value. All of the fun of the original was ruined by this.

treating this film like a slasher whodunnit and trying to guess who the predator is makes the film infinitely more fun
