Predator / Predator 2

PREDATOR, 1987, 20th Century Fox, 107 min. ALIEN meets RAMBO when an elite military squad heads into the jungle only to be confronted by an unstoppable extraterrestrial killer. Director John McTiernan shows signs of the expert action technique he would later refine in DIE HARD, while Arnold Schwarzenegger provides rooting interest as the tough-as-nails hero. More great special effects from Stan Winston.

PREDATOR 2, 1990, 20th Century Fox, 108 min. Director Stephen Hopkins takes the PREDATOR mythology from the jungle to urban Los Angeles, where cop Danny Glover discovers that something far more dangerous than Colombian street gangs lurks in his city. Bill Paxton and Gary Busey provide solid character actor support in this unusually distinctive sequel.
