PREDATOR 2 Was as FUN as the First One, What Are People Talking About? - First Time Watching 

The clan abided by the "Hands Off" code. Harrigan defeated their hunter and therefore could not be touched. The clan leader "Greyback" gave him the flintlock pistol as a trophy for his victory over the "City Hunter".

The Predator isn't especially compassionate (at least not to humans) they just have rules and there is no sport in hunting something that cannot defend itself. Had she not been pregnant, she'd be dead because she had a gun and was a threat.

That is absolutely an Alien skull on the Predator trophy wall, haha. Late 80s and into the 90s Dark Horse comics had both an Aliens series and a Predator series running, and eventually they came up with a crossover, Aliens vs Predator. So the filmmakers planted the alien skull as a reference to the comic books. Eventually there would be several Alien VS Predator video games and movies! It's a new director for this movie but it has the same writers, brothers Jim and John Thomas.

You're introduction is captivating. When I enter a room now, I say 'Hi, it's me.' Sometimes the room is empty, but I still do it.

The idea behind Predator 2 was based on the comic Concrete Jungle originally involving a brother of Dutch Schaeffer who is a police officer and took place in New York. Since they could not get Arnold to come back for the sequel they changed the setting of the story to Los Angeles. The predator in this film is a more of a wild being who won a lottery and was given the reward to go on a wild hunt in an human urban city.

Maria Conchita Alonso and Ruben Blades were in quite a few movies in the 90s, they're both great talents - and I wish Danny Glover was my dad

Amanda is concerned that some students might be able to see her. Don't anyone tell her that we also see her.

Eating plastic flowers! He was really into it too.😂 I hope the teenagers enjoyed the reaction as much as I did.

You know, that Jamaican and myself have the same outlook on life. ""Shit happens."

Predator 2 is awesome!! I'm sure there's people out there who don't like it for their own reasons, but it seems like a lot of people say they don't like it simply because Arnold isn't in it, and that's super lame

Wow I never knew Ruben was a singer. He was in quite a few movies in the 90s. Good catch!!

You really are one of the funniest react youtuber out there. P.S. It's not compassion. A good hunter don't kill pregnant female.

Just answering some questions: -according to expanded universe (comics, novels and such) the predators are alien species called Yautija, and their society is built around gaining honor points and building reknown by hunting and making trophies of dangerous species - the more big game you successfully hunt, the more respected you become, -predators are not merciful, but honorable. Strict rules prohibit them from killing unarmed or unfit prey (like sick or pregnant), otherwise they tarnish their reputation and loose social status (also in many cases they try to match their weapons to thier opponent, eg, using writst blades/spears against melee combatants and ranged weapons against people with guns), -the movie indeed shows futuristic version of LA (action takes place in 1997 and the movie was released in 1990), -predators visited Earth many times in the past (but kept a low profile), they view human race as worthy prey becouse of our violent tendencies and ability to craft simple yet effective weapons.

Just a regular day on the streets of LA

(At 10:40) hard to believe this was 2 years *before* the "Rodney King Riot"

The justification for violence can be outweighed with justification for mercy. With Leona this was one of those times. Honor means something to most Predators in their culture.

Yes, that was a xenomorph skull. If you seen Alien and Aliens you'll understand everything in AVP Alien vs Predator. There's also Predators about a hunt by a team of Predators. And the recent movie Prey is predator adjacent. Dark Horse Comics have published a lot of Predator , Alien, and Terminator comics independently of the movies making up their own back stories.

34:13 Yes. That is in fact a xenomorph skull. This one short scene is what tied the Alien and Predator franchises together at the hip. In case you were wondering, the Aliens are a HUGE part of the Predator society. No Predator can officially enter adulthood until they have faced an Alien in single combat with nothing but bladed weapons. Upon killing a xenomorph, the Predator then becomes ‘blooded’, meaning that the Aliens acidic blood is used to literally burn a mark into the victorious Predator’s head, almost always the mark of the clan they belong to.

I like this one almost equally to the original. We, the audience know what's up, but the cops do not. So you get a sort of police drama with a lot of action and some suspense. The mystique of what the Predator looks like and his motivation is pretty much common knowledge if you've seen the first movie. I feel they made an excellent sequel. New setting, another hunter with different weapons and a great ending, with room for more storytelling. Nice reaction, get well soon.

Don't worry about your cold. You look wonderful. Great reaction. Cat is wonderful.🤗

Said it before and I'll say it again, Predator 2 is awesome. Its always been my 2nd favorite in the series and my love for it only gets bigger. Does it have flaws? Sure, but it also respected what came before in the original, expanded on the lore and weapons of the Predator just enough, we saw a lot more of the Predator, Kevin Peter Hall (RIP) played City Hunter differently from Jungle Hunter to give him his own distinction, great cast, very well done action scenes, awesome setting having it take place in the city, cool take having it be a detective story, etc. It wasn't just a retread of the original and expanded on and or changed on the important aspects to make it just that. Director Stephen Hopkins (The Life & Death Of Peter Sellers, The Ghost & The Darkness, Judgment Night) did a very solid job with it, especially when you take into account he had to work on Nightmare On Elm Street 5: The Dream Child (during a writer's strike mind you and had an incredibly finite time to make it) and Predator 2 at the same time for a certain amount of time which is insane. While the original is still tops (for me personally) Predator 2 is awesome and is still the best sequel in the franchise.

Amanda: "Oh it's tiny. I thought it was bigger." ------- That's what she said. 😲

Awe, you're sick. A little Amanda sick. I hope you get better soon! 🙏

What no one mentions about this movie is that in 1990 a major studio released a high profile motion picture with a black male lead and loads of black and brown actors in large and small roles.

I think the story goes, Arnold was making Terminator 2 at the time of filming Predator 2. I could be wrong but I remember hearing that in an interview.

I love it ❤ And you are great at reactions. I'm old enough to be your Abuelo but gotta say what a lovely young woman

They're very different but both good, and better than any of the trash that was made later. The Predators are trophy hunters, who only go after dangerous prey (which is why they generally don't target non-combatants - presumably there's no honour or prestige in it). I assume they keep coming back to Earth because we produce a good supply of killers for them to test themselves against, and we keep getting better and better at it.

I love the way you say “predator” ❤ great review 👌

Love your reactions amanda! Keep em coming 😀👍

at 9:15 one thing alot of ppl miss since they are focused on the hanging body, the Predator is seen there as well, jumping across

In The Predator 2018, Garry Busy's son plays Peter Key's son who does get the chance to study the Predator.

Hi Amanda!😊 Sorry to see you are sick.😔 Chicken soup broth in the carton can be helpful clearing up a stubborn cold. We will miss the white wall. Hopefully it will write a letter to let us know how it is doing.😉 I hope you find a nice permanent place to live in the near future.🙏🏻 I always call this one "Predator in the City". This is a near future Los Angeles (7 years) where crime is rampant. "Predator 2" was actually made in 1990. This film takes place 10 years after the events of the first film. Kevin Peter Hall "Predator" returns to play The Predator again here. The sequels are pretty poor after this. I recommend the Predator prequel "Prey" (2022) which has received positive praise from fans. That was an ALIEN skull you saw. "Alien vs Predator" (2004) is actually an entertaining film. Great reactions to your second Predator film, Amanda!!!🎬👏👏👏👏

The Predator's targeting the most dangerous game, thus the Cartels

A Spear tip is Punta de lanza . And this is a new Predator , The other one was killed in the jungle.

You're videos are always great fun to watch. Thanks and I hope you are feeling better soon.

RIP Bill Paxton. The only man to be killed by the Alien, the Terminator, and the Predator!!!

Hey Amanda! Great reaction as always! You are correct in asking if this is an "alternate 1997" it was the writers intent to show an United States in the earliest stages of falling apart. With civilians no longer trusting in the government institutions. Criminal factions openly warring with each other. And Government officials turning away from civil liberties.. The signs are fairly subtle but the thought process is that The Predator would only hunt in an environment that was chaotic enough to create the most desperate and thus most danger people for it to hunt. Not knowing if the US government was strong enough to effectively interfere with the hunt is also likely a factor. And why I believe the other Predators were waiting on the ship as backup..

Awesome reaction of my favorite Predator movie!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊

now we need predator 2010, a great sequel/spin-off.

This one is pleasantly different, as the first movie made me wonder how it would do in a big city instead of a jungle, and gave much more background lore between the ship, the skull wall and the "hunting party" of other predators that appeared at the end, and the trophy. Predators are very protective of their technology (like they'll blow themselves up to protect it) so it made sense that the only trophy they would give Mike for his victory was a human trophy from a previous visit to Earth. No alien technology given. Unfortunately, almost every other Predator movie after this is pure crap, until the very recent Prey. I'd recommend moving straight from this to Prey next. It even has a nice connection to this movie.

Thanks

Glad you had fun with it, people usually say its not as good as the first but i absolutely loved it as a kid just as much as the first. kids at that time people usually had the life sized poster of Michael Jordan but i had the life sized City Hunter Predator poster with full breakdown of his weapons and gear : D

I really do hope you get better soon .... You have a great eye Amanda, that is Ruben Blades (Danny Archuleta). He had roles in a couple of movies in the 1990s. I remember him in another movie with Whoopi Goldberg "Fatal Beauty." Also noteworthy is María Conchita Alonso who played Det. Leona Cantrell was born in Cuba, but grew up in Venezuela ....

This wasn't the second Predator on Earth. As stated in the first movie, they come on a regular basis

This was good alien fun. You might also like Dolph Lundgren in "I Come In Peace" 1990 😂

I loved the break!

Apparently the species can last up to one week in Earth's Atmosphere without a breathing apparatus mask.

"Where's army, where's military?" In their basses, due Posse Comitatus act. You cannot use military force in U.S. to enforce the law, until most dire and exceptional circumstances. But what comes to movie itself: Underrated action Gem and good sequel. People talk trash this film, because they wanted Arnold back. So people heard initial trash talk and trash talk this film without properly even watching it.

Also Venezuelan actress Maria Conchita Alonso

Great sequel - never been one as good since.

The Predator didn’t show compassion when it spared Leona. It spared her because killing a pregnant mother is one of the biggest taboos in Predator society. Had he killed her, he would have INSTANTLY branded himself as a “Bad Blood” to his own people, and they would have started a hunt for HIM. Also, the date one the pistol the Elder Predator gives Harrigan at the end reads 1715, but they’ve actually been visiting Earth a LOT longer than that. When you delve deeper into Predator lore, you’ll find they’ve been visiting Earth since at least the age of the Vikings, and probably even earlier.

When this movie came out, it took place in the far flung future of 1997. It wasn't too far off, but yeah they envisioned an LA engulfed with terrible crime. Also that guy in the black uniform talking to Glover played the Police Captain from the Lethal Weapon movies, which Glover was also in. I'm not sure what else Ruben Blades was in movie wise, but he also was in the the tv show Fear The Walking Dead.

And a little rant about this predator. He is basically in his late teens and having WAY too much fun. He has a whole ship of clan mates with him hunting and they arent making the kind of carnage he is. He's reckless. So he starts with the cartells but realizes frank is the better prey. He starts targeting franks "pack" to send a message. Leaves dannies necklace as a challenge. And doesnt kill the girl because killing her would also kill the unborn and unarmed child which is against the laws of honor. But he couldnt inagine loosing to some random human cop no matter how impressed he was. So he throws out one liners till the very end and still looses. The arrogance. Meanwhile the clan leader is just sitting there shaking his head at all the blunders his warrior is making. But know, those blunders are his to make.

I'm tired of all this predator shaming. I'm sure he was considered a very handsome predator on his predator planet.

Alien vs Predator is good. So is Predators. You would also like the movie Mimic.

I enjoyed this movie as much as the first one

agree. the only bad thing is no arnold. 3 will answer lots of your questions.

I liked the lore in this movie alot and think this movie is different but as good.

I always thought the same, its just as good as the 1st one 👊

Yes, it was a Xenomorph Alien skull from Alien movie.

To answer some of your questions sorta. 1) They are basically big game hunters, like humans that go and hunt large predators like bears and stuff for sport. It wouldn't be worth it if the prey couldn't fight back at all. 2) why they come back, obviously they find humans to be some of the most sporting prey. 3) yes that was a alien skull you saw and yes there is Alien vs predator movies, though none of them are all that good but they can be worth a watch if you don't mind kinda cheesy movies. 4) as for their society, one of the alien vs predator books actually gets into that a lot and it is pretty interesting actually. I can't remember the book off the top of my head, really it is a trilogy. What happens is predators drop alien eggs off on a human colony set in the same time as the Alien movies are. A woman I think she is a police officer but I don't recall is the main human. anyways things go wrong and a bunch of young predators in training die and a older predator turns up when the aliens run amuck and him and the human girl end up fighting them and finally winning but the predator dies but he is so impressed by her he marks her with his mark basically saying in his eyes she is worthy of being a predator, so when other predators show up to find out what happened she is the only one left alive, so the predator seeing the mark offer to take her with them and since her colony is destoryed and she has no way off the world she goes with them That is the end of the first book, the second and third book get into her living with the predators and learning their ways and she ends up becoming more or less a human predator. It is a good book series I really liked it.

Ending in the gun Preda movie!

@Amanda Miquilena - Glad you enjoyed Predator 2 - It is very often not appreciated by people,because the environnent is quite different than from the 1st predator movie. However, i still think it is quite enjoyable, and Danny Glover does a good job. I would HIGHLY recommend watching 'Prey' ( 2022) which is a 'prequel' to the first movie but it is as good if not even better than the first predator movie. And the lead actor in 'Prey' is actually a woman so it is great to have a Heroine taking up the fight against the predator.

I like the new location! Also hope you get well soon. I also have a cold and can’t wait til I stop coughing. This movie gets lots of hate, but I think it’s just because the first movie is so good. This one isn’t bad at all imo, it’s just the bar was set so high. I’m not a big fan of the rest of the franchise, except for Prey. It’s very good!

Agreed. I have never heard of anyone down talking this sequel. It has some of the best one liners ever. Some by Glover. Some by Predator.

Ok. This was a GREAT sequel. It expanded the Predator universe and folks hated it, for which, I know not why. Prey was a great one and Dark Ages as good. I just feel don't give up on Predator flicks cause of a few bad ones. Dracula had a few flops as well...

The army isnt something that gets deployed in the USA. Theyre only for foreign combat. LA has SWAT(special weapons and tactics) used for this kind of stuff. Or the national guard can be deplyoed by the state governor.

My kitty eats plastic flowers also.

I hope you feel better!

That Worker and Parasite insert tho....

Predator 2 is a great solid movie. Last Action Hero is a great solid movie. Both lambasted, no idea why.

I really like your video. Predator 1 and 2 was my favorite. Thanks to you. I ask what will be the next movie? A french fan😊

15:56 No, people have no rights to know. They are just lumpens and crowd.

I can understand certain points raised against this movie when compared to its predecesor, BUT at the same time I haven't yet heard or read anything that would make me enjoy this movie less. It hits different without Arnold and the jungle, but when I want that I watch the first one.

"He's hung."

Hi Amanda , I enjoyed your reaction to the first and the second predator movie thank you and my fav part is when Mike Sees all the predators !!! I hope you watch The Other predator movies.

16:40 That's what she said.

Predator 2 definitely doesn't get the respect it deserves. In my opinion. It's just as good as or even better than part I. I get that people love Arnold and wish he would've been in this one but I think Danny Glover did a fantastic job. Predators or the Yautja as their species is called. Use earth as one of their hunting grounds. So they try to find the most dangerous/worthy humans to battle and kill for trophies. They won't kill anyone who is unarmed or women/children. They will totally respect anyone who can kill one of their own. Which is why Mike did not get annihilated at the end. In any case. I loved your reaction. I hope that you continue on with the Predator franchise.

Didn't notice you were sick until you mentioned it. Good lighting setup.

Hope you watch "Prey" next. Possibly the best of these movies.

In memoriam of "The White Wall".

2010 preditors is the next in line cant wait unless your just sticking with just the 2 of them the kids leaving school there just noticing a hot girl lives there now hope the sniffles you have goes away soon but anyway here is the films in chronological order 2023 i case you did not know 0. Prey (2022) 1. Predator (1987) 2. Predator 2 (1990) 3. The Predator (2018) 4. AVP: Alien vs. Predator (2004) 5. AVPR: Aliens vs Predator - Requiem (2007) 6. Predators (2010) 7. Prometheus (I) (2012) 8. Alien: Covenant (2017) 9. Alien (1979) 10. Aliens (1986) 11. Alien 3 (1992) 12. Alien Resurrection (1997)

Humans and aliens being killed/eviscerated are okay to be shown in this video but Amanda cleaning her nose is pixelated/censored. After all, the mucus is the same color as the Predator's blood so if that should be okay as well...

Please react to : • *Predators* (2010) _starring Adrien Brody_ Also I recommend you Alien Saga, and then *Alien vs Predator* (2004)

Yes, this is a Alien-Skull. For further information watch Alien vs. Predator.

The Yautja race has a code of honor and conduct for their hunts, so it is considered shameful to kill defenseless or sick beings. Although Leona is armed and a threat, her baby is defenseless, which is why she was spared. I don't know if you like comics, but if you do, look for the Batman vs Predator crossover.

Oh, no, you are right to say mean things to Google.

How’s he gonna “Turn up missing” if he’s missing? He’s not gonna turn up anywhere

You should watch Twister. Such a good movie.

Me gusto tu reaccion bella señorita , saludos cordiales de latam.

Hi Amanda! Honestly you don't need to apologize for being sick or sneezing. Its ok to be human, and I appreciate your videos just the same, sick or not. :) Please take care and get well soon!! I would make you some chicken noodle soup but how could I upload it to you? :p

Some people when they sound sick they are like a plague from a zombie movie. Your voice just got richer and deeper like a former famous diva singer that married El Presidente.

Bravo.

Thanks!

Wow I'm early, let's roll it! 👉

Now you have to watch Prey. It is a prequel to all of these and is the only other one that is good (IMO)

Except for the Predator this opening scene is a pretty good depiction of big city America.

You made me laugh and you are beautiful ❤️

Great reaction and at 34:10 yes that is an alien skull it was an in joke that later lead to the Alien V Predator movies

It is Reuban Blades
