Editorial Review - Amazon.com
Predator wreaked havoc in the jungle and struck box-office gold, so Hollywood logic dictated that Predator 2 should raise hell in the big, bad city. Los Angeles, to be specific, and this near-future L.A. (circa 1997) is an ultra-violent playground for the invisibility-cloaked alien that hunted Arnold Schwarzenegger in the previous film. Scant explanation is given for the creature's return, and because Ah-nuld was busy making Total Recall, Danny Glover was awkwardly installed as the maverick cop (is there any other kind?) who defies a government goon (Gary Busey) to curtail the alien's inner-city killing spree. But why bother, when the victims are scummy Colombian drug lords? Don't look for intelligent answers; director Stephen Hopkins favors wall-to-wall action over sensible plotting, allowing Stan Winston's more prominently featured Predator to join the ranks of iconic movie monsters. And anticipating Alien vs. Predator in comic books and in theaters, there's a familiar-looking skull in the Predator's trophy case! --Jeff Shannon

A Customer Review by Brenda
this was a gift for grandson, too much blood and violence. If I was a parent, it would not be permitted in my home.
Guns, explosions, skulls, skinnings, hangings, bloodcurdling screams caused by an ALIEN?

Uhhhh.....There's this one scene where the Gov't agents led by Agent Keyes (Gary Busey. Remember Mr. Joshua in Lethal Weapon?) attempt to corral the Predator in a over-sized meat locker; they're supposed to be wearing these suits that block out their heat signature (that's how Predator sees you) but they are carrying these 1 million candle-power lamps, which generate heat. Okay, one glaring inconsistency that most people wouldn't notice.
Danny Glover (Harrigan), the rogue cop (remember Murtaugh from Lethal Weapon?) is mis-cast in this strange, goofy sequel to the original (the original, being far superior to this offering). And in fact, acts like the Murtaugh from Lethal Weapon. Maybe, they should have asked Mel Gibson to play his side-kick in this one. Nahhhhhh..... wouldn't have made a difference.
Reuben Blades (Danny) and Bill Paxton (Lambert), who play the other cops in Glover's "team" get their turns being gutted by the Predator. And Maria Conchita Alonzo (Leona) plays a stereotypical rough-and-tumble, almost-gutted female cop, who's spared by the Predator; because she's pregnant. Boy, does she have some terrible lines.
Oh well, there's lots of gunfire (and lots of bad acting) in the opening scenes (with lotsa' scumbags), and in the transit car gun battle (armed citizens and gang members) with about every assault weapon available (at that time)!
The final duel with Murtaugh, I mean Harrigan is anti-climactic. To say the least. Kent McCord (ADAM-12, for you oldsters) is Glover's superior.
