Quote from: Local Trouble on Nov 23, 2023, 11:22:47 PMI wonder why we didn't get a sequel to P2 until AvP/Predators. Was it considered a flop? https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt0100403
QuoteWriters Jim and John Thomas had actually intended it be a jump-off point for a third Predator film. Speaking to Starlog in December of 1990, John Thomas told the magazine that "there's a big surprise ending to Predator 2 that's a real big switch. And that sets the stage of the possibility of a third film."Though they didn't explicitly mention these ideas came from that moment, in the audio commentary that Jim and John recorded for Predator 2, during the sequence aboard the Predator ship, they mentioned toying around with ideas for potential sequels set in the past."We played around with it on the set, of doing something historical. What would it be like in a time when we had nothing but steam engines and flintlocks, and you went up against something like this? That could be fun."
