The rundown: The streets of Los Angeles have become a battlefield as the police department and drug cartels wage an all-out war. But a mysterious Other World Life Form (OWLF) begins targeting high-profile drug lords and attacks anyone armed. After most of his fellow officers are killed, one cop makes it his mission to find who, or what, is responsible.
The concrete jungle of Los Angeles replaces leafy Central America in the first sequel of the series. As far as sequels go, this one’s not all that bad. In the backstory, Keyes (Busey) had learned of Dutch’s (Schwarzenegger) encounter with the Predator, and he tracked Dutch down to a hospital, where eDutch was being treated for radiation sickness, a result of exposure to the Predator’s self-destruct device.
After hearing Dutch’s story, Keyes and the OWLF-hunting team are sent to the jungle to investigate. There, they discover evidence of a spaceship launch in the jungle, indicating that the dead Predator’s ship had automatically returned to the alien’s home world. Dutch later escaped from the hospital and vanished; thus, he didn’t appear in the sequel.
Our verdict: This is a fun sequel that is enjoyable to re-watch every once in a while.
