  • ☠️Welcome back to my channel☠️ After watching Predator and AVP at the beginning of this year I have been dying to watch Predator 2 to learn more about predators and the universe in which they reside. So today I am going to be watching Predator 2 (1990) and I am so psyched to dive into this. Many of you educated me about the Yautja alien species in the comments so I feel like I'm going into this movie with a bit more insight than I previously had. I hope you guys are excited for today's video, grab you chicki nuggies and choccy milk because we're jumping in! 💦​

      It’s not a worthy sequel stop calling it that people are all delusional all over the internet this is the real sequel and the greatest sequel to Predator what people failed to realized is this movie was Kevin Peter hall movie he was the star as the predator for the last time before he sadly passed and he had more screen time so he fleshed out the predator more and the concrete jungle was better setting which also showed our predatory nature as we always killing each other with guns 💪🏾 people always hate it cuz the héroe is a black man and this is to show all the weirdos and Hollywood that we been had black heroes who saved the day and survive a horror movie cuz predator was literally like a monster 👹 a creature and he beat it he killed it 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️and someone managed to earn the respect of the Elder this movie did so many things it was world building and expanding universe way before Marvel or DC ever did it 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️and most if not everything y’all know about Predator lore comes and came from this movie so let’s stop calling it a worthy sequel and let’s call it how it is the true sequel to Predator and the last real Predator movie we ever got can’t nobody portray the Predator as Kevin did he made that his own character he gave it life and made you believe that this thing was a real creature that the government was trying to catch and thanks to Stan Winston also for the amazing effects Two legends may they always rest in peace Kevin Peter Hall Stan Winston Predator & Predator 2 end of story 🥰🥰♥️♥️♥️

    You're right, they used the same actor from Predator for Predator 2. That actor is Kevin Peter Hall, who was the black helicopter pilot at the end of Predator. He also played the Bigfoot Harry in Harry and The Hendersons. He was cast mostly for his height, because the production wanted Arnold to look small in comparison. Given Arnold's 6 feet 2 inches, Kevin Peter's 7 feet 3 inches worked just nicely.

    One of the ost underrated sequels ever made.
    It's not exactly T2, or Aliens... but as a sequel to the classic original movie, it holds up extremely well.
    It's got everything a sequel needs... different location, tries new things, has a different feel to it but manages to be recognisable as a successor to the first movie as it keeps within canon with the Predator's traits and its choice of location where it's hot as hell and a warzone.
    Plus, it's extremely well shot and choreographed.
    Critics hated this movie at the time, and called it a video-nasty... but then again, pro critics hated Carpenter's The Thing as well when it was released.
    Pred 2 also pisses all over the rest of the sequels.
    I mean, Predators (Pred 3) is an unimaginative remake of the first movie, The Predator (Pred 4) is a sort of Power Rangers movie that somehow manages to be even more cartoony than anything Power Rangers ever did, and the most recent Prey (Pred 5) is bland and forgettable.
    AvP 1 and 2 aren't canon, and are poo anyway.
    The first one has no continuity with location, and the second one you can't see anything because they had the entire thing shot without any lighting.

    • @LoveLaurenn
      @LoveLaurenn  Рік тому +7

      I feel that the critics don't always get it right (evidence of THE THING, like you said) and perhaps it was just because of the time being in the 90s people couldn't appreciate it. I enjoyed this movie a lot, hopefully as time goes on more people will come to appreciate this movie.

      I only disagree with any of this in that I much prefer The Terminator over T2 and have mixed feelings about Aliens (classic movie, but a poor sequel if that makes any sense) but I actually like this more than Predator, which puts it in a very rare class of movies for me.

      It didn't get the love back when it came out because people were so into Arnold and back in the eighties and nineties if you made a sequel to the movie that the hero from the first movie lived then it was like a fact that that actor would come back so people just didn't even give it a chance just because Arnold was in it. And it sucks cuz it took like 25 years 30 years for people to finally appreciate this movie that Danny Glover absolutely made this movie his own cuz he knew he wasn't Arnold Schwarzenegger and you had to do something different and The supporting cast of Gary busey Bill Paxton rest in peace Ruben blades and whatever the actress that plays Leona is we're all great in this film love it just as much as the first

    This was the first PREDATOR movie I saw and it is pretty bad ass!
    Even though critics hated it,it's now considered to be a cult classic among fans.
    It was the second film to be released with an NC 17 rating due to the strong graphic violence that was filmwd but cut from the movie, at least 20 minutes of gorier bloodier footage was cut to obtain an R rating. The scenes included More decapitations, skins getting ripped off and people actually being dismembered by the Predator.

    Bill Paxton is also in True lies that stars Arnold. Its worth a reaction if you haven't seen it.
    This movie came out in 90 but takes place in a really messed up 1997 Los Angeles.
    The first time I saw this I wasn't sure I was sold on Danny Glover being the hero after Arnold was so badass.
    However it has definitely grown on me as its own unique story.
    It's very cool that a Predator gave Danny's character an old gun as a trophy and sign of respect.

    Ahh yeah, the '80s had a bit of a moral panic about the potential near-future of major metro areas potentially drowning in crime and gang violence. (And the Rodney King riots occurred just several years after this, so it wasn't entirely without reason.) History just didn't end up unfolding as badly as some of these "The Dystopia is COMING!" scifi films liked to use as settings.
    I recall many said the predator just doesn't work in a city, which coulda been part of the reason Arnold didn't return or why it didn't do as well. (This movie was pitched to the studio as "putting the creature in an urban jungle".) Makes sense. Part of the fear of the threat of the predator is that in the jungle, the protagonist and group are alone and you have the straight predator-prey dynamic. In a human city, everything is human civilization and technology all around, although I think the near anarchy of constant gang warfare and drug lords did allow the director to create as much of the atmosphere of that "urban jungle" concept as could be done.

      I dunno man, it's pretty accurate in regards to out of control crime, especially in LA. The police have lost control there and California in general. Businesses have had to shut shop because of constant looting. Many places just let the thieves walk out with what they want. Security doesn't even bother stopping them. Street robberies and murder is out of control. Tens of thousands of homeless people living on the streets. Needles strewn everywhere.
      Without wishing to sound hyperbolic, it's a hellscape.

    A lot of deleted scenes were filmed or scripted but cut from the movie:
    El Scorpio's body disappears from the morgue as Keyes' men take it for further study.
    Keyes threatens to have Harrigan fired From the police force should he ever interfere with their crime scenes.
    Harrigan does get fired from the police force after feeling guilty over Danny's murder.
    The Predator (City Hunter) follows Harrigan through the streets, then walks into a taxidermy store where he touches a stuffed lion until a jogger sees it through the shop window but the Predator cloaks himself (the jogger thinks it was the heat was getting to him) and the Predator leaves the shop.
    The City Hunter Predator follows Jerry and Leona into the subway, where the Predator jumps onto the back of the train.
    Keyes explains to Harrigan that Dutch escaped from an Army Hospital and hasn't been seen since.
    Anna, the survivor from the first film, tells Keyes and his men that the Predator was hunting the men like it was a game.
    Ramon Vega actually survives the City Hunter Predator slaughtering the Jamaicans after they ambush him in a warehouse and they were going to sacrifice him. The encounter causes Vega to go into shock.
    Ramon's mistress tells them that it was a demon from hell that killed all the Jamaicans.
    King Willie's death was a lot different than the final cut of the movie: He uses a gold plated Uzi as his main weapon where he fires of 50 rounds as he sees the Predator jumps from fire escape to fire escape. He slaps another clip then runs out of ammo and uses a sword as his secondary weapon
    The Predator jumps 10 feet in front of him and says, "You can't see the of the Demon..." as the Predator was imitating Willie.
    An alternative ending was scripted but never filmed as the City Hunter was going to be decapitated by the Elder Predator Grayback, whom gives Harrigan the Flintlock pistol before Harrigan leaves the ship as it's flies off into the sky.

    I remember reading an article back in the day (I saw this in theatres in ‘90) that the director stated that this predator was young and inexperienced as was evident by its behaviour such as when it’s being cornered by Gary Busey and the way it reacted. I have to admit that I didn’t make that connection myself when I first saw this movie (I was 19/20 when it came out). Still a cool little detail.
    And yes it’s the same actor in the suit, Kevin Peter Hall is his name.

    This is one heckuva sequel! Futuristic urban gang warfare cop flick where a Predator decides to crash the party and score a few trophies, and the hardboiled maverick detective who-is-not-too-old-for-this-s#@!-dammit is on its trail. The Predator's one mistake was making it personal. This always worked for me as a follow-up to the first because it carried over that 80's level of sheer unshakable bombast, and I'm always glad to see it get the respect it deserves. First and foremost, it accomplishes what the first film did so well: It is so much fun to watch. Glad you enjoyed it and grateful as always that you shared your experience with us. ^ _ ^

    Hi Laurenn!🙂You definitely learn much more about the predator in this film. From the standpoint of the film it is 7 years in the future where L.A. has become very violent. Unfortunately, Kevin Peter Hall (The Predator) died one year after this film, at the age of 35 due to AIDS related pneumonia. He was also the bigfoot in the "Harry and the Hendersons" film. I believe the blood used in voodoo ceremonies is normally chicken blood. You should definitely watch the prequel "Prey" (2022). It is nice to see a strong woman in the lead roll.

    I remember when this movie came out in November of 1990. I saw it in UT during Thanksgiving week and was blown away when I saw the Predator's trophy case, everyone in the theater cheered when we saw the Xenomorphs skull. Oh the one reporter you see is Mortin Downy Jr. he was one of the worst of the shock jock talk show hosts. Even worse than Jerry Springer. And yes Hudson is in it. The first actor to be taken out by three of the most bad ass SciFi characters. Gary Busy's second in command is Adam Baldwin A.K.A. Jane of Canton with Capt. Malcom Renoylds. The lore is that they are methane breathers and the big mask is a respirator and if they lose that they have an emergency breather mask what I call a bailout bottle. It's similar to what B-17 bomber crews used if they had to bailout of their damaged aircraft during missions. They can survive our atmosphere for short periods plus they come from a extremely warm to hot climate that's why they come here during the hottest times and places.

    Hi Laurenn, glad you enjoyed this movie ! I did. Luarenn, one thing I liked about this sequel is how it recreated key scenes from the 1st movie and did it better.
    1 - when dutch confronts Dylan over the mission is surpassed in intensity when Harrigon confronts Keyes on the stairs over Danny’s death,
    2 - Billy’s refusal to run and stand up to the predator is vastly surpassed by willies “ fight” with the predator. The footsteps in the water combined with the enthralling music and the gradual reveal reflected in the water as the camera pans down was epic, You said yourself it was terrifying.
    3. Harrigans vow of vengeance for his dead partner was as fanatical as mac’s for Blaine.
    4. And Paxton’s character was funnier than Hawkins 🤣😂
    Anyway, that was some reflections. Thanks for all the cool reactions !!

    When this came out, Danny Glover was already a big name in action movies from the Lethal Weapon series with Mel Gibson, and later made an appearance in the action-comedy in "Maverick" with Mel Gibson.
    Bill Paxton was also in "True Lies" with Schwarzenegger, in "Tombstone" with Michael Biehn (Hicks in "Aliens" and Reese in "Terminator"), and in "Agents of SHIELD" with Clark Gregg. He has the distinction of being the only actor killed by a Terminator, Alien, Predator, cowboys, and Agent Phil Colson. 😀
    The leader of the Feds, Gary Busey was also an well known name, and had also been in Lethal Weapon. His son, Jake Busey, who looks a lot like Gary, was in "Starship Troopers".
    Another one of the Feds was played by Adam Baldwin, best known for his roles in "Angel", as Jayne in "Firefly" & "Serenity", and in "The Patriot".

    None of the Predator sequels/spin offs have equaled or surpassed the 1987 original, but they all have some badass moments. The shots of the Predator standing on rooftops in Predator 2 always stuck with me. The Predator is usually associated with the jungle, and that's probably the setting they most belong in, but seeing them in a city is a wild image like you were saying. Danny Glover also has some hilarious LOL moments throughout the movie lmao

    It's quite tragic, really. He was in a bad car accident. He got a blood transfusion that saved his life. The blood was tainted as it was infected with AIDS. Kevin contracted the AIDS virus and ultimately died. The irony is the very blood that saved his life also took it. 😔
    Kevin only played the Predator in the first two films. But he also played Bigfoot in the movie Harry and the Henderson's.
    Ian Whyte played the main Predator, Scar Predator, in the first Alien v Predator and then played the main Predator, Wolf Predator, in the sequel, Aliens v Predator: Requiem. Ian is also in the seven foot tall range. Like seven one or two. Something like that. -OG
