Did you like Predator 2

[Scorpio]

I doubt it will ever be released.

[Still Collating...]

Loved Predator 2! Especially for expending on the predator mythos. A very different movie to the first, but just as good IMO. Not a perfect movie, but I think it gets more hate than it deserves.

Totally agree

[Corporal Hicks]

I love Predator 2 as well. I can understand how at the time it wasn't what people may have been expecting from Predator 2 but I enjoy they went elsewhere with it. Loved the creature design and the expanding of the Predator mythos.

It's a shame we still haven't seen that NC17 cut of the film but I think it's unlikely that'll ever happen. Unless they surprise us with a release during The Predator promotion machine. That'd be pretty nice.

I love it, is as good as the first one, the problem is that the direction is cheaper and weaker, if McTiernan had directed it would be as much of as a classic as the previous one, but is a good non stop fun movie

...the problem is that the direction is cheaper and weaker...

While for the most part I agree with that sentiment, there are a couple of scenes where Hopkins' direction is absolutely superb. The scene where the Predator kills King Willy, for instance. I honestly think, from a pure directing point of view, that might be better than anything in the first movie.

As for the extended cut argument, I've been saving for years it's one I really want, but like several of the others that top my list for that, I honestly don't think it's a film with either enough mass appeal or cult value for it to ever happen.

It would be so cool to see the NC 17 version ! I think it will never happen though. But imagine scenes like King Willy's demise in more depth, something tells me that the censored version contain a lot gorier version of this one...

[HuDaFuK]

Willy's death doesn't need to be extended. The editing works brilliantly as it is. To have some more violent version where you actually see them fight would completely ruin the effect.

I really doubt that's one of the scenes they cut.

Isn't there two versions of the apartment slaughter?

I was really disappointed we didn't get to see the whole King Willy sword fight, something scary and fun King Willy deserved better. 

[Scorpio]

I doubt King Willy lasted 2 seconds.

The Hanzo/Falconer sword fight is pretty bad so maybe better they didn't show it.

Stephen Hopkins is a pretty good director.  I like Nightmare 5, Blown Away and Lost in Space by Hopkins too.  Has a very over the top visual style.

I like Stephen Hopkins. Shame we don't hear much of him nowadays except for tv stuff. Always loved Blown Away, The Reaping, The Ghost & The Darkness.

[Scorpio]

Yeah I haven't seen Ghost in the Darkness in a long time and The Reaping I haven't seen yet.

Good to see another fan of Blown Away.  Tommy Lee Jones and Jeff Bridges are really good in that.  They don't make those kind of thrillers any more.

[Username-Unavailable]

Yeah but it's kind of garbage. The best parts are probably the expansions of Predator mythology and the portrayal of Los Angeles as a hellish cesspit ruled by criminals.

It was OK.
