Re-watching this clip makes me realize how hard the makers of Predator 2 copied from Aliens. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiQD0Wk6Ekg Though only a Predator could kill Gary Busey, a Xenomorph would shy away in terror from those teeth.

Busey getting killed by the Prdator is probably the most unrealistic thing that happens in Predator 2. You'd think a Predator would know a real bro right away and would have invited him back to the ship for some drunken antics.

Now I'm just imagining if a facehugger was somehow able to get past those sheets of baleen that he calls teeth and create a buseymorph. What the mouth on that thing would look like...

The only plot hole in Predator 2 is where did Busey's upper half go? I'd like to imagine he's somewhere, waiting for the Predators to return. But this time he has robot legs.

His guys that stayed in the truck cleaned up the scene-they give Danny Glover the hairy eyeball at the very end of the movie, iirc

Watched this for the first time in years last night. I love the first scene when you see the "jungle" and it pans up to show the city. Edit: referring to predator 2

Speaking of Predator 2, NECA just released their revamp of the City Hunter.      Made me rewatch the film. Owns a lot, but I never realized how comic booky it is. Very stylized.

I must have missed the subplot with the volleyball salesgirl. Was that in the director's cut?

When discussing the visual language of comic books "smuggling volleyballs/volleyball salesgirl" is a descriptor for a character with massive tits. Predator 2 is truly stylized like a 90s comic book.

I've probably spoiled a lot of Covenant for myself. At least in the sense that I've been exposed to the very broad synopsis of main plot points discussed earlier in this thread. Obviously I can't judge the acting, script, or visuals of the film until I watch it, but I feel like what will really make or break the whole thing for me will be how cool the creature designs are. If whatever the backburster becomes is just some generic gremlin zombie thing in the vein of Theatrical Fiefield, and not something that looks like it materialized out of one of H.R. Giger's Necronomicon books, I'm going to be a little disappointed. Based on the synopsis, I have zero hope or expectation that Covenant will pick up and develop the themes of Prometheus in a way that make much of an impact on the film overall. It will just be some flashbacks to tie up loose ends. Scott says he has at least one more film to make in this series, right? That would suggest that there's some kind of overarching master narrative, but my gut response is that it's mostly hype. Scott today probably has as much of an idea of where he wants to go with these as George Lucas did for the star wars prequels in the late 80's. Covenant seems like it's more or less going to be a super-soft reboot (a better term escapes me, sorry) of Prometheus. The Engineer World plot is getting pasted over to the extent that it can be while still maintaining continuity with the end of the first movie. I'm not complaining about that, though. I don't care how much Scott wants to change things up as long as it ends up being full of cool aliens, like I said. Even better if it's actually put together like a Good Ridley Scott Film. I'm not all that impressed with what the leaked photos of David's spooky meat cave, though. The design there was so reminiscent of Resurrection, and why would anyone try to ape the look of that movie's alien/human experiments, when there are so many other cool and different ways to go. I mean, it could be really effective in the context of the film itself, but I'm really going to have to see more to judge. Right now I'm so sure though.

Predator 2 is truly stylized like a 90s comic book. That's something I noticed on a rewatch. Everything is so over the top, especially Danny Glover. He is the epitome of "cop-on-the-edge." He is constantly rushing and yelling and pushing people around while the Chief and Commissioner are breathing down his neck. So awesome. Also, if you have the bluray, watch the feature called Hunter and Hunted. It's supposed to be a "making of" type deal be it quickly becomes the Gary Busey Word Salad Show.

Gary Busey's madness on that video is legendary but people often overlook Danny Glover's low key but mega   talk that opens up with "Predator 2...is really quite a cerebral film..."

In hindsight, I think I wrote it off subconsciously to one of his buddies being hidden away off-screen with a camera and it was him trying to strike a bad-rear end pose for the safari vacation photo album.

Nah, those spy drones that pop up in Predators are mostly for getting good photos to show others later.

They were mimicking it was hot like a jungle in the city, that's why there was a concrete jungle reference on the vhs tape holder. Just about every character is sweaty, look at the train scene.  Urban jungle they call it. Tenzarin fucked around with this message at 23:38 on Feb 6, 2017 |

Isn't it also a plot point that the Predator arrives for a hunt when the weather is especially hot and the LA in their 1997 in the film is gripped by a heatwave?
