Directed by: Stephen Hopkins
Starring: Danny Glover, Not Mel Gibson, Kevin Peter Hall
Following Alien on Film Four was Predator 2. I watched it because I hadn't done so before. People told me that it was crap but I liked it.
There's no Arnie in this one (he was filming Terminator 2) but there's Danny Glover instead which is still nice.
The sequel features a different predator (seeing as the other one died in the first one) and this time...HE'S IN LA!
At first I thought Predator was being racist as he just killed black people but then Glover revealed that he only kills people if they are armed which made more sense..
So, Predator just likes to kill people to prove that he's great (which he is) and takes their skulls for trophies. The cops try to track down the killer of all these people and finally find the Predator. Unfortunately, nearly all of the cops are killed by predator except for two; Glover and a woman who Predator sees is pregnant so leaves her alone (aww, he's a good guy really).
I think this film may surpass the last in special effects and storyline as it actually gives us a better hint at what the predator wants. We see more weaponry and more technology which the Yautja uses (I done my research on predator aswell 'cause he's pure awesome with dreadlocks).
Sadly, the first half of the film lets it down as it is slightly boring and the predator doesn't do much but once it reaches the ending, it gets awesome as Glover chases predator through the streets, using it's weaponry to fight it (and eventually killing it).
I'm still not quite sure whether this is better than the first or not. I'll go with a draw for now.
