I completely agree. It holds up to the original and it gives us more Predator weaponry and opponents.

The predators have constantly spun around Earth's block and they show no signs of stopping.

[@GAMEVIXEN]

The Yautjas (aka predators) are warriors who have been hunting in the Universe for millions of years (there's a T-Rex skull in the ship at the end). They hunt dangerous prey, but they have a code of honor: no children, no pregnant women even if they're carrying a weapon (Leona), and no weak or unarmed men. When a human succeeds in the feat of killing one of their own, as Mike did, they show him profound respect by offering him a gift.

[@mikefoster6018]

I saw the original Predator in the cinema recently. Crowd reaction was amazing.

Eatly scripts for Predator 2 had Dutch leading rhe team eventually led by Gary Busey and Adam "Jayne Cobb" Baldwin. It was a much different script. Dutch would have survived, for one thing. And he, not the cop, was the lead character. Dutch's team would have been wiped out, and he and the cop would have been the sole survivors. Arnie was running for political office at the time and bowed out as a result. So the movie got reworked. Danny Glover, straight off of Lethal Weapon, got the lead, and his cop role got expanded to cover much of the prior "Dutch" action. The cop had previously been the #2 character, not the lead, though he would have still been the one in the ship at the end...

What gets missed alot by a younger person watching today is that while it was released in 1990, the film is set in a dystopic 1997 and was emulating films like Robocop. Whie yes, crime was grabbing headlines in 1990, a lot was based on paranoia. Films depicting out of control crime making day to day life unlivable was a staple of a lot of "fifteen minutes into the future" type sci fi, again, especially after Robocop.

[@peterkoester7358]

Adding the xenomorph skull to the display was just an Easter egg the set designers put in to excite the geeks but - at the time - was not meant to connect the two space franchises. However, the inclusion of the skull created such excitement that a comic book series was created to join the two. And for many years that was all the fans had, a series of B&W comics by a small independent publisher. But the fans kept pushing for 20th Century Fox to make a film based on the premise. It took 14 years to bring the two alien species together on the big screen! That being said, looking forward to your reaction to "Prey."

[@carybrown851]

One correction... the comic series did this BEFORE the movie did. Dark Horse comics just happened to have the rights to do series with both franchises. They saw it as a good fit, so the did a series with both. (And many more later.) But this movie "canonized" the crossover. Dark Horse did a lot of crossovers, as have many other comics publishers since then. Batman vs. Predator, Green Lantern meets Star Trek, Star Trek meets Doctor Who, you name it. So far, this is the only comics crossover formally canonized, however, as far as I know anyway.

[@peterkoester7358]

@@carybrown851 I couldn't remember the exact timeline. I did remember the addition of the skull in Predator 2 was only meant as an in-joke at the time. I used to read some of the Dark Horse Aliens comics - particularly their story of what happened after Ripley and Newt returned to Earth following the events of the second film and how that made a much better sequel story than what was eventually released as Alien3.

[@carybrown851]

​​@@peterkoester7358 Did you know that the script for Alien3 was originally written as a sequel to the first movie? The authors denied it later, but this was a minor reworking of a script previously submitted, and rejected, as "Alien 2." That's why the opening credits effectively undid everything in the second film. It put Ripley back into an escape pod, crashing on a prison world full of monks. The original script had the new creature coming out of Jones the Cat. The "revised" script went to an ox, and then a dog, but the design remained "catlike" in nature. If you ignore Aliens and go from the first to the third film, it almost... sorta... makes sense. As it is, though, I'll never forgive the studio for putting out that god-awful abortion of a film. 🤯

[@gumbomudderx7503]

Your take at the end is actually a very good take. From what I’ve always heard and read the predator in this movie is basically an inexperienced juvenile hunter. That’s why he’s on Earth with a hunting party rather than being alone. Also why he uses all different sorts of weapons instead of just a cannon and blades, why the first one was able to take out a bunch of special forces guys and in the end not be beat, but take himself out, and this one was taken out by a cop. This hunt was more like a training hunt and right of passage kind of deal. Once Mike killed him in hand to hand combat though, they let him go and gave him the trophy. Some of the other movies have some good parts in them, but I don’t think they are as good as this one with the exception of Prey. The first movie just sets the bar so high.

[@raifthemad]

Prey is modern hollywood garbage.

[@Hammster69official]

It's a pretty interesting study of the settings of the first two Predator movies. One is an untamed land of savagery and lawlessness full of deadly monsters and gun fights, whereas the other is a jungle in Guatemala.

[@benjauron5873]

It has nothing to do with a fetus being defenseless. It's a custom among hunters that you don't kill an animal that's in some phase of the reproductive process (copulation, pregnancy or nursing). Not for any chivalrous reasons, but just because a hunter wants to be able to continue hunting in the future, and he can't do that of he's killed all the stock before they're born or matured. In other words, you have to give them a chance to grow up before you kill them. (Ironic that this is NOT how a _predator_ thinks, but they clearly up the naming confusion two or three sequels later.)

[@Kainlarsen]

I still remember the first time I saw this as a kid in the 90s. :D That flintlock pistol the Elder Yautja (that's what their species are called) gave Harrigan... the date made you realise, they've been coming here for a *long* time. The Xenomorph skull was also great to see, but I really wish they hadn't tried to make the tie-in movies, because they kind of sucked.

[@kevinnorwood8782]

"So I wonder, have they been on the planet for that long?" Not exactly. Earth is not a permanent home for them, but it is one of their favorite hunting grounds, because humanity has had no shortage of great warriors to test their mettle against. And they've been visiting Earth a LOT longer. If you delve deeper into Predator/Yautja lore through things like books, comics/graphic novels, and videogames, you'll find that they've been visiting Earth since at least the age of the Vikings, and probably even earlier.

The Yautja are extremely ancient once a slave race that revolted against their masters. They were originally breed for many purposes but one proved to be a gladiatorial champion. He rescue his people from bondage, and taught them combat. After some time they created a culture devised of hunting the strongest prey on their world, strongest survive etc to purpose of never begin enslaved again. Bored with the game on their home world, they took their former masters technology and transversed the stars for new prey. Hunting is religion to them. They live naturally for hundreds of years.

[@Paul77ozee]

I always liked how they gave him a trophy which also told him how long the predators have been on earth.

[@toob1979]

This is one of the very few films where 5 seconds of screen time spawned an entire movie franchise. My friends and I freaked out when the camera panned to the Predators' trophy case and, hanging right above the human skulls, was the unmistakable elongated head of a xenomorph. I had to wait several years until the first _AVP_ movie came out. Your satisfaction may vary with the finished product. While most would say the original movie is better, I give the crew of _Predator 2_ kudoes for taking the setting out of the actual jungle and putting it into the urban jungle. It was a good change-up to make the heroes everyday guys rather than impossibly ripped commandos. R.I.P. to The Extreme, Bill Paxton -- the only guy to fight an Alien, a Predator and a Terminator and get killed by each of them. He fares better against tornadoes. Seriously, _Twister_ would be a great movie to react to (and Bill is the hero).

I think the idea was that the other Predators were the older, more seasoned hunters there to observe and evaluate the younger one.

[@lazyperfectionist1]

It's a seldom-understood principle about stories with a character-vs-character conflict, but in the event you're going to write such a story around one of _these,_ the _antagonist_ is the most important character. You have to start with _them._ You have to make them _terrifying,_ and seemingly unstoppable. You have to get them _completely_ fleshed out before you even _touch_ the protagonist. But then you have to build mechanisms into the story that allow the protagonist to defeat them in completely logical, believable ways that don't violate the rules of the story that you establish early on. Unfortunately, one consequence of this is that it makes good sequels tricky, just because it's _so_ much easier to adapt a _new_ protagonist to an already-existing antagonist then to go the other _way._ _Predator_ and _Predator 2_ are both stories with such a conflict. But they didn't dare to reuse Dutch, because he was adapted to fighting the predator in the _first_ one. His antagonist was _dead._ So starting over with a new antagonist meant they had to start over with a new protagonist as _well._

[@donovanbradford8231]

While very true Arnold had a choice between doing Predator 2 and Terminator 2 and he chose T2, so the studio had to scramble to rewrite the script and find a solid replacement. But very true you make the ultimate antagonist it's hard to live up to that.

Bill Paxton also cameos in Arnold Schwarzenegger's Commando. And he's in another Arnold movie with a bigger role called True Lies. He doesn't die in these movies. Bill Paxton is the main character in Twister. Opposite Helen Hunt. No dying there either. He also starred in the Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt movie Edge of Tomorrow. One of my favorite movies. You'll love his accent! There is one other movie Bill Paxton dies in. The Terminator with ArnoldSchwarzenegger at the very beginning of the film. Paxton plays a spiked blue-haired punk. In short, Bill Paxton gets killed by an alien xenomorph, a Terminator and a Predator in Aliens, The Terminator and Predator 2. How fun is that? -OG

0:55 I would just like to point out, this movie came out in '90. So at the time, '97 was futuristic.

According to the documentary, Keyes is responsible for sending Dutch and Dylan and the team into the jungle for the first one. Also, there was going to be a line or scene where it’s mentioned Dutch died from radiation poisoning about 6 months later, Arnie was doing Terminator 2 and that’s why he didn’t return for this one.

RIP Bill Paxton, that man always gave 110% in his performances 🙏

The actor who plays the 1987 Predator also the Predator in this film Kevin Peter Hall who stand 7'2.RIP Peter Hall

The most important takeaway from Predator 2 is that the Predators learn from each other and evolve their technology to overcome their shortcomings which is why this yautja had multiple visor settings.

"We already lost Hudson I can't do it again" Yeah that's what I've been saying ever since I watched this movie as a kid.

[@kenyo_nascimento]

The Predator is my favorite pop culture character! I love all movies of these franchise!

2:20 Fun Fact: Danny Glover plays Detective Murtaugh in "Lethal Weapon" and the guy in the hat in this scene plays his commanding officer in "Lethal Weapon."

[@patrickflanagan3762]

Also Gary Busey was the villain there as well.

[@ChrisReise]

Oh yeah, that's right. Good catch.@@patrickflanagan3762

[@trayntp]

lol, she said “oh, yeah.” I knew it. I can tell. 🤣

[@lazyperfectionist1]

22:55 "I need to watch a movie where Bill Paxton is the hero." I'm thinking _Tombstone,_ _Apollo 13,_ _Twister,_ or _Mighty Joe Young._ He's been in other movies too, but these are the ones I've seen.

[@lazyperfectionist1]

Oh. And I might add he _also_ makes an entertaining performance in the movie _True Lies._ No, he doesn't get killed, there. He just makes a bit of a fool of himself. 🤷‍♂

[@MalcomMcLeod]

KZbin Predator 2 dancing, that alone brings this movie up to S tier.🤣

[@MDSlatanica]

A great sequel and reaction my dear, Twister is a good movie where Paxton doesn't die. lol

[@karlsmith2570]

Other movies that Bill Paxton was in includes: Weird Science Twister True Lies Commando The Terminator, which also has Micheal Biehn (Hicks) and Lance Henrickson (Bishop)

Very under appreciated vintage bush sighting indeed! Ahhh, one of the last vestiges of a simpler time.. 🫠 hell I say, bring em back like 8 Track!!

[@StoriesThatSuck-pw1vi]

Yeah, you can now skip directly to Prey (which is awesome, btw.) Though the third installment of this franchise ain't bad, if you feel like checking it out. The fourth? I like to pretend that one didn't happen.
