That guy was awesome. That whole set up to the movie was awesome. Heat wave, crime wave, concrete jungle. Everything to justify the Predator making a visit.

They just dropped the whole temperature thing in subsequent movies.

>>221200690
Yeah, P2 is awesome.

Predator 2 is a master class on how to make a sequel, same formula with a radically different setting and new type of protagonist. From the actual jungle to the urban jungle, from fighting an elite merc to going up against a supercop.
Still not as great as the original (which is the best American action film ever made) but I don't see how they could have made any better of a sequel.
>>
>>221200663
In the movie Predator 2, premiering in 1990, the setting is in the distant future of 1997, when Los Angeles experiences an unusual heatwave.

Also, cocaine is a helluva drug.
>>
>>221200663
lots of cocaine and a very hot summer climate, combined with adrenaline and whatnot.

Does predator 1 qualify as a pure action movie or is it more scifi/action?
A pure action movie would be something like commando or rambo 2
>>
>>221200575
>Sir, please just come here legally.
>>
>>221201165
I would say it qualifies as a pure action movie because while the villain is an alien with advanced tech, the actual sci-fi elements are very limited and are just there to make the creature a bigger threat. The sequel is more of an actual sci-fi film with the CIA following the alien and you see inside their ship, and it's set in the near future.
>>
>>221201165
To me it's horror action at its finest. Not spoopy horror with action elements, not michelbay action with horror elements, but just the right equal-ish balance of both, same as Aliens, you blend two genres into the kino of the highest order.
As other anon said, there was basically no sci-fi.

I would enjoy 2 much more if not the absolutely retarded writing. In 1 everything flows naturally and people act naturally, one scene goes after the other in a believable way. In 2 almost nothing after the 30 minutes mark makes any sense.

Every gangster used to go cocaine berzerker back in the 80's/early 90's. Now they just either flee or camp in a corner after some avocado toast. Bunch of fags!

I like Predator 2 more than the first one. Just had more flavor

it's in the action-thriller genre but it has to include science fiction in the description

Love both, different reasons, 2 has that edge that's hard to put into words
If I had to try, for me its that 90s near future feel, just the sweet spot

Let's write Predator 3. Set in 2000s War in Iraq. Team encounters predator and calls it in. Military, aware of a 10 year gap between hunts is ready. Predator killer team is deployed and brutally takes out predator and no bomb this time.They try bring the body in for study and the adult predators supervising the hunt are pissed and send in a soldier team of predators to recover the body so it isn't defiled.

Danny Glover rolling out of the sedan and blasting latino coke gangsters with a shotgun was a tight opening

It would, it has anesthetic properties.

>>221201067
So…shouldn’t he be having a full blown stroke AND heart attack at the same time? Also, sans the Predator showing up, how would this have ended for the cops?
>>
Predator really is an anomaly. It's such a simple concept yet it produced 2 of the best kinos the world ever had. Most great movies usually have at least some nuance to it, a literary backdrop or something. Nope, just a xeno hunter pwning plebs for fun until he messed with the wrong meat suit.
>>
>>221210518
It's not as simple as you make it out. The thing I love about the first two is their unique idea of "take a generic action movie premise, start playing it out straight, then have the characters realize they're being attacked by something from a different genre." Predator was jungle commandos fight the communist guerillas and Predator 2 was cops vs gangsters. It's tough to keep that up without getting too ridiculous though. And Predator is an anomaly for how good it ended up being when it was on course to be absolutely terrible at first. They fixed so much and made something amazing.

Maybe if you watched more movies you could shitpost better, or even have real discussions.
>>
>>221213196
what possible thing could i say to reason with people who think predator 2 is good? it's like if someone said shit tastes good, what reasoned arguments can you make against someone who thinks shit tastes good? the texture is bad? the appearance of it is unappetizing? there's corn in it? lmao
>>
>>221200575
>Scorpio is Eddy!
Why was this line even in the movie? Was this supposed to be a big reveal of an existing character or something? Did they have some other plan for this character but remove it from the final cut?
>>
>>221210187
Based on the gear they had and the time period? The National guard would probably get involved since they've got .50 BMG antimaterial rifles, that's after the ATF shows up and shoots a random dog and burns some children alive so Hillary Clinton can go back to sleep.

>>221213036
>has an unbreakable honor code
That stupid shit wasn't yet a thing. Tgey started adding that in the years after trying to flesh out the predator species and pretending they all hunt all the time and act like klingon samurai
