Predator 2 is a 1990 American science fiction action film written by brothers Jim and John Thomas, directed by Stephen Hopkins, and starring Danny Glover, Ruben Blades, Gary Busey, María Conchita Alonso, Bill Paxton, and Kevin Peter Hall. It is the second installment of the Predator franchise, serving as a sequel to 1987’s Predator, with Kevin Peter Hall reprising the title role of the Predator. Set ten years after the events of the first film, in Los Angeles, the film focuses on the Predator, a technologically advanced alien hunter, and the efforts of a disgruntled police officer and his allies to defeat the malevolent creature. The film received generally mixed reviews, despite earning a moderate return at the box office, grossing $57 million worldwide, compared to the previous film’s $98 million gross on a smaller production budget.

This would be the last film appearance of the Predator until 2004’s crossover film Alien vs. Predator. A sequel, Predators, was released in 2010.
