Los Angeles is enduring a heat wave and a crime wave, so the pressure on police officer Michael Harrigan (Danny Glover) to solve a strange string of murders is mounting. Harrigan thinks the culprit can be found among the warring gangs and drug cartels, but FBI Special Agent Peter Keyes (Gary Busey) knows the horrible truth: Their killer is a fearsome extraterrestrial (Kevin Peter Hall) with keen hunting abilities that include superior night vision and the power to make itself invisible.

Critics Consensus

The thrill of the hunt is gone in this hackneyed sequel.

Steve Murray

Atlanta Journal-Constitution

If you like your movies to double as a cudgel, this one's for you. And if you want to see really good actors play one-dimensional loud characters, that's an extra bonus.

Empire Magazine

Given Arnold Schwarzenegger and director John McTiernan had declined to return, this sequel to their macho sci-fi rumble in the jungle is surprisingly good.

Rated: 4/5

Lessons of Darkness

Half as taut and twice as dumb.

Fiction Machine

Predator was a relatively simple, dull story told in a very energetic and engaging manner. Predator 2 has a much more interesting story, but it is not told in anywhere near as effective or dramatic a fashion.

Rated: 5/10

Deep Focus Review

As viewers of the sequel quickly learn, bigger is not always better. Sometimes it’s more of the same.

Rated: 2.5/4

Action fans will enjoy Predator 2. Others should bear in mind this is one of the goriest and most violent pictures of the year.

Good Stand alone sequel. I guess some people just wanted to see Arnold or the Jungle hunt...

Film terribile, non ha un senso, effetti speciali terribili e sceneggiatura imbarazzante. Danny Glover ha SUBITO il film.

A truly guilty pleasure. Compared to most of the Predator movies… this is a masterpiece. Plus, its the origin story for Hudson!

This is the best sequel to the original and always will be. All others that have came since are nowhere near as good as this. Predator 2 is heavily frowned upon by the critics and I've no idea why. It's brilliant. Great casting and the plot is good. Just because there's no Schwarzenegger doesn't mean it's rubbish. I love this film.
