Stalking Predator 2, part 2

[@KingSidJames]

He's in town with a few days to kill. God I really miss those classic tag lines.

[@RepresentThis]

Oh, the tag lines, there were so many, they were awesome.

[@SteveT3D]

After Aliens and T2, this is the best (and most fun) sequel from 80's/90's 'golden' era of action movies which we all were lucky enough to grow up with.

[@RepresentThis]

The early 80's and 90's was all about action and it was a great period for film.

[@jamesabernethy7896]

As great as Aliens and T2 are, both as sequels and as movies... I would watch this one any day of the week and twice on Sunday over the others. Although quite different movies, I always associate Predator 2 with Dark Angel / I Come in Peace. They were made the same year but they feel of their era.

[@RepresentThis]

@@jamesabernethy7896 Such a great period of cinema.

[@CinemaGulp]

Masterful series my friend. So detailed and full of insight. Love it!!

[@jamesabernethy7896]

I've had a mentally exhausting week and I needed this. I've said before that I love this movie so so much, it's strength is that it is so different from the first in every respect. Setting, pacing and characters. Danny's strength was that he wasn't trying to be Arnie and there was no question that he was a leading man and had presence. I was surprised that there was a question over his ability to lead with the recent Lethal Weapon and Lethal Weapon 2 releasing while this must have been filming. Kevin Peter Hall's physicality was vital in making the Predator such an iconic movie antagonist.

[@RepresentThis]

I totally agree and I look forward to your thoughts on our conclusions of the film itself next week.

[@micahrutland9021]

I love this movie as well brother.

[@Wyrmwould]

I'll never forget seeing this film in the theater with my brother. The film actually broke just as the predator and King Willy were about to fight. When the film was repaired and we could finish watching it, the first thing I saw was King Willy's screaming head. I thought maybe they had skipped the fight when the film broke. It wasn't until I could rent the movie later that I knew for sure that we hadn't missed anything. There was no fight of course. I love Predator 2 by the way.

[@RepresentThis]

So nice to hear from you again Wyrmwould. Thanks for sharing your memories. It sucks when films break but it sure does make them memorable. :)

[@M2Mil7er]

I first found this channel when the first Predator 2 video popped up on my feed, and since then (about a week) I've binged watched about half the videos available. I'm a fan of Oliver Harper's retrospectives, and while he covers what I'd call the essentials, the deep dives here are something else. Thanks for all the hard work and great videos. I just hit subscribe (thought I had already!).

[@TronForlox]

Ahhh yes, Oliver “I remember this at the cin-a-mer” Harper. He’s kinda bland.

[@M2Mil7er]

@@TronForlox You're welcome to your opinion. 👍

[@RepresentThis]

So glad to have you here and look forward to your thoughts in the comments.

[@daveruda]

I always found Predator 2 to be such a good companion piece to the original. It changes the setting and characters but keeps the overall mood. The city alleys at night are just as opressive as the jungle in the first movie. It didnt need Arnold. Its a strength it did something different.

[@moviemalice610]

I love this movie. Its not as good as The Predator, but its a really solid sequel. Excellent video!

[@fearlessjoebanzai]

Jacobs Ladder was a great movie - I think I only saw it once, when it came out on video and I was only 12ish, but it always stood out to me. I'm going to have to watch it again now.

[@RepresentThis]

It's a very cerebral movie, full of details. Good stuff.

[@jsb1944]

Looking firward to part 3. Keep em coming!

[@RepresentThis]

It will be out next Friday, see you then.

[@scottewing2031]

Great vids.

[@fearlessjoebanzai]

Still blows my mind that not only did it not do well at the box office (though with all those movies being released either side of it, it somewhat makes sense), but that critics judged it harshly! I'll have to show it to my son and get his opinion on it - I showed him Predator recently (amongst a run of 80's and 90's films - generally the classics in a pop-movie sense), but it was the one he enjoyed the least! (I think the one he said he enjoyed most was Pulp Fiction - to give context to his taste!)

[@aldunlop4622]

Yeah, it's not that bad, my only complaint was it felt a bit rushed. I thought it needed some slower pacing here and there to break it up.

[@volodymyrbilyk555]

Danny Glover is boss tier tough guy on this movie. Too bad he never did a detective noir style film.

[@CMDR_Verm]

Thank you for another good one. I loved this sequel because it seemed more realistic than the original (shows you how much I know) and it was certainly gritty enough to sate my appetite for blood lol. FOX actually got it right for a change though I never knew it wasn't a more popular film on its release. Really looking forward to part 3.

[@RepresentThis]

Thanks, CMDR.

[@johnpick8336]

This is a very entertaining movie. Thank you for posting.

[@RepresentThis]

So happy you liked it.

[@TronForlox]

This is the superior predator film. Thanks for the insight.

[@AwareWolfOnWheels]

Perfect timing!

[@erickvonengelwalten8568]

Dude. Your vídeos are awesome. Can you do some Dissecation on 1990 Tremors and The Lost Tapes?

[@RepresentThis]

I will do Tremors in the future, and I appreciate your kind comments. So glad you are with us.

[@erickvonengelwalten8568]

​@@RepresentThisto be honest with you i think you are one of The best Channels talking about movies in YT. Youre not only Dig some info, as you show The vision, The think and what The production want to do. Thats require a Lot of effort and discipline. And i like when you talk where and when you are when you watch a movie for The First time. It gives a Very human perspective on The whole thing. I Hope you deserve all The credit, respect and rewards for your work. Thanks to answer me too. I deserve you The best!

[@RepresentThis]

@@erickvonengelwalten8568 I appreciate that Erik and we will keep chugging out the content. Looking forward to chatting with you more in the future.

The first time I saw Predator 2 was not in the cinema but on home video.

[@ZODIACTHEFACEOFEVIL-wt5mi]

Predator 2 is a GREAT movie, these are still the only 2 watchable Predator movies. I am thinking if they had followed up with a third movie in the 90s maybe they could have had a predator attacking a cruise ship or something and the passengers having to fight back before it kills them all and sinks the liner. Maybe a bit much lol but where else could you go after the first 2 movies? I agree with a comment below, this move is good because it is so different than the original.

[@Mirage_Mach5]

As I'm watching this, I'm thinking that Fox intentionally put Predator 2 at that date to make it fail, as a way to get back at Joel Silver. Had it been released in early October, or early November, the film would done big box office. I'm a big fan of this film, and I think that despite the behind-the-scenes issues, this film was well done and holds up 34 years later. Thank you for this video!

[@RepresentThis]

Glad you liked it. I hope to see more of your comments in part 3 and 4.

[@t3h51d3w1nd3r]

It may be the least successful but it's easily in the top 2 and sometimes I do prefer it's city setting. I always wished there would've been a third film with Arnold, Glover and Busey involving more the agency tracking the Predators.

[@RepresentThis]

That would be a fun movie for sure.

[@fredleggett923]

Damn, what happened to Jake Busey in that interview? Looks like he fell asleep in a tanning bed set to maximum.

[@jamesabernethy7896]

He's like Zoidberg from Futurama!!!

[@volodymyrbilyk555]

Its called AESTHETICS

I think he was trying to look good for Olivia, but it turned sour.

[@krisbadwolf9429]

Bought spit out my drink! Lol

[@MusicalBox]

In the comments of "Stalking Predator 2, part 1", I said that I didn't like the movie too much and that I didn't find that Dany Glover was very good in it... Well, I gave it a second chance and watched it again a few days ago. While it was not as bad as I remember it, I still think it's very far from being as good as the first movie. I find that some (or most) of the characters are badly written. Too caricatural and cliché. I'm surprised none of them was just one day away from retirement. In a way the characters were also caricatural or cliché in "Predator" but not to the point of being annoying. I also find there is too much stuff going on. One example: Isn't that enough that an alien killer is loose in the city? Why did they think that adding this Voodoo stuff in the mix would improve the story? It's just an unnecessary distraction in my opinion. But I'll revise my opinion about Dany Glover. He wasn't bad after all. He did a good job in a not so good movie. OK. Now it's time to watch "Stalking Predator 2, part 2".

[@RepresentThis]

Thanks for your thoughts again MusicalBox, looking forward to your thoughts in part 3.

[@samuelmackenzie5267]

I find it fascinating that Gary Busey had a life changing experience and ended up a Christian. seeing the interviews with this guy are pure gold. He is easily one of the best and most memorable parts of the film. Also I’m just curious, is avpr being covered. I would love to know how the hell fox ended up hiring those directors and how they let the movie get so incompetently lit.

[@volodymyrbilyk555]

Have you seen I'm with Busey?

[@RepresentThis]

We will be covering AVPR next year for sure, but we have to cover the first one which will be in early 2025 after the Black Hole, Jaws 2 and maybe the Truman show. Not sure what my first of the year video will be yet.

[@sconni666]

[@aldunlop4622]

The littlest things bug me sometimes and one of them with P2 is, if it's so hot, why is Danny Glover wearing heavy woollen pants and the other cops are wearing jackets? Also, FYI the saying isn't "death nail", it's "death knell". Thanks for another great video!

[@krisbadwolf9429]

Think he said once he grew up in Germany so I get why some of the pronunciation is off. Tomato-tomah-toe. And I agree about the clothes! It always bugs me in snowy scenes in movies when you can’t see someone’s breath!

[@anthonyruby2668]

WOW!!! More examples on why ppl see the Yautja as morally gray. Let's just say nobody misses trouble makers when they (poof) disappear

[@christophermoonlightproduction]

I do love this movie but yeah, what was up with that sex scene. My aunt took me to see it in the theater and I was mortified to be watching it with her.

[@RepresentThis]

I couldn't imagine watching it with a family member, lol.

[@kaijupredator4063]

​@@RepresentThisI saw it with my sister. Talk about awkward lol.

[@coinopanimator]

The only problem I have with P2 is that it rushes its second half. I suspect that was stupid saying "we gotta keep the runtime down". Everything had to be 90 to 110 minutes. Wish some film today were 90 minutes

[@coinopanimator]

My phone auto corrected “studio” into “stupid”. I’m not disagreeing with it.

[@RepresentThis]

All that counts is we understand what you were saying, and we did. Only people who cannot add substantive conversation point out a misspell or mispronunciation to others.

Oh no bad language wont somebody please think about exploiting the children! - Some rich wine mom who doesnt give a crap about her kids lives circa 1990

[@GODCONVOYPRIME]

Hey hey mpaa how many movies have you ruined today?

[@CC-dw9ch]

So , if this movie had had Arnold starring, with Danny...and was released at a better time. would this movie have been as well liked as T2? I like this movie, but it has flaws...and why does every prequel today have to have a female lead? awww..no wonder Trump is so popular in certain circles...

[@julius-stark]

12:44 that looks like a bad Trump Halloween costume.
