Predator 2 (1990) | Full Length Reaction
Added 2025-03-16 01:32:30 +0000 UTCHey guys!
This week's movie is Predator 2! The sequel to the 1987 movie we did a few weeks ago.
This movie was so different from the first one, it took us totally by surprise! The urban setting was such a different lens to look at the predator through and it made for a wild and unpredictable film!
So much fun like it's predecessor, just good old-fashioned entertainment!
This has been recorded in a watch-along format. You will need your own copy of the movie/tv show.

Also enjoyed the chat at the start about fairies/furries - my wife is from Belfast so reminded me of many conversations we've had over the years! Really glad you appreciated this film. I don't think it was very well received, and it certainly isn't as highly regarded as the first, but I've always loved this. Pure chaos by moving it into the city, though it gives everything a different perspective, which I find much more interesting (a bit like Die Hard [no incoming spoilers] - not sure if you're planning on following up with the sequels, but I thought the 2nd was poor but the 3rd really good, once they came up with something a bit different to the original formula). With Predator 2, they gave a closer insight into what this creature is and what it's going, really expanded the whole idea and left so many questions - intriguing, really leaves you wanting to know more. I haven't watched all the crossover films but I've heard (and not surprised) that they're not good. However, if you choose to dip into them I'll certainly give them a go with you. I echo Andres's take - the franchise really returns to its best with 'Prey', a really good addition. Danny Glover is great in this too. You mention you haven't seen the Lethal Weapon series - more classic 80s action! (though the quality diminishes rapidly as you go through them). He was also in 'Saw' - another one to add to your list, if you've not seen it. Was also reminded of something I think you said in one of your previous reactions - that you haven't seen the Terminator films? They absolutely need to be on your list, just the first 2 at least. Thanks again - looking forward to what you've got lined up next.
