I love P2, but still think we got jipped out of King Willie's fight though.

I love what we got. You really wanted you see them battle it out Hanzo style?

Not Hanzo style or even a long fight scene, I just think KW deserved better.  At least develop his character all the way and send him out in a blaze of glory.

City Hunter was cleaning up the streets of bad people, including KW. Everything else was collateral damage.

It's amazing how impactfful Willie is with such little screen time. A testament to Calvin Lockhart's performance, and that wonderful dialogue!

Maybe a little longer, but what we got was good and I think it was a fitting demise to the Prince of Powder.  ;)

I always felt the government knew about the Predator in the jungle.

I loved the ship design - seemed so fitting for Predator. I wonder what that circular ceiling piece is dipicting? When I was much, much younger and I saw the movie for the first time, I thought it was a maple leaf at first :) haha

Rotten Tomatoes was so hard on Predator 2.

That's why they're "rotten"

To me, especially because the Lost Predator ship is presented as biomechanical in origin, I like to speculate that it once was some sort of giant eye, now hollowed, and we're inside looking out.

That would be pretty cool, indeed.
