Los Angeles is enduring a heat wave and a crime wave, so the pressure on police officer Michael Harrigan 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 knows the horrible truth: Their killer is a fearsome extraterrestrial 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.

The players hardly fail the material, but the Jim Thomas-John Thomas screenplay defeats all concerned.

At first, the film seems no more than an old-fashioned monster-movie... However, there is a more disturbing sub-text, reminiscent of the cinematic aliens born of the Red scare of the Fifties, but rendered here more self-consciously for the Nineties.

The film rarely strays from its violent catharses.

Glove's heroics are a plus, to be sure, in a film overflowing with violence. Problem is, the suspense that help make the original a winner is missing.

It's filled with characters we don't care about and an alien creature we're not really allowed to understand.

Maybe the most underrated movie of all time. OK maybe not all time, but its close.

One of the best and absolutely most underrated sequels of all time. If not the most underrated. Glover is bad ass. Paxton is hilarious. Predator is frightening. Gore and language is super 90s adult action horror goodness.

After Predator 1 this movie is a great part II. Unfortunately there is just 1 short connection to part 1, but at least there is. I hope the will come some great sequals (not like "the predator") that also connects Predator 1 and 2.

Predator 2 was a very awesome movie. A great sequel to the original predator movie. I have not seen the first one but Iâ(TM)m hoping to check it out. I hear itâ(TM)s a really great movie and one of Arnold Schwarzeneggerâ(TM)s best films. In predator 2 itâ(TM)s of course Danny Glover and he has done a great performance in it. I thought it was very decent but I enjoyed it.

The Best predator movie apart from the first. I cant believe "predators" has a higher rating. This movie blows it away, and actuallly has lore from the comics and ties in well to the first.
