PREDATOR 2 takes us out of the steamy jungles of the first film, and places the action in 1997 Los Angeles, where rival drug gangs have turned the city into a war zone. The police, led by Lt. Mike Harrigan (Danny Glover), are investigating the vicious mutilation murders of several gang members. Of course, it's obvious from the beginning that the culprit is another alien creature on the hunt.
This sequel is quite good, and Mr. Glover is more than up to the task of facing off against the titular terror. There are gunfights and explosions aplenty, and there's enough bloodshed to fill an olympic swimming pool! Gary Busey is along for the ride as an obsessed government agent, and Bill Paxton gets to play Harrigan's wisecracking sidekick. Also watch for Robert Davi as Harrigan's insufferable boss. Plus, Morton Downey Jr. Plays a highly annoying TV reoporter.
As for the Predator him / itself, Kevin Peter Hall reprises the role, and gets to use some new, extraterrestrial weaponry. It's a memorable rendition.
PREDATOR 2 is packed with classic sequences, including the subway assault, the apartment building chase, and the final conflict.
A solid follow-up that's well worth a watch...
