So by giving the Predator gun to Ms. Yutani shows how the Yutani half of the company would come to know about the Xenomorphs. (If somebody already explained this I appologize for repeating anything)
What's a Xenomorph?
Originally posted by Darth MartinYeah, P2 is better than P1 by far. Too bad the dumbasses back when it was released couldn't look past the 'Arnie's not in it' to see what a really great movie it is.
I know man, Predator 2 was aweswome. It did everything a sequel is supposed to do. It added a whole nother dimension to the character. Hence the honor code, weapons, ranks, and XENOMORPHS. If Predator 2 hadn't of come out we might not even have the backstory of the to races or even have the AvP films.
Saw AVP-R. Not bad, couldve been much better, but couldve been a lot worse. Still, it's better than the first AVP by far.

Originally posted by Shadow SpiderSo basically it's all as I suspected. All of the movies are basically now tied together.
Yes, they did. Thats why Ash (The Synthetic Android) was ordered to protect it. I'm not sure if they knew the Xenomorphs were on the planet, but once Ash found out he made sure to keep it alive. This of course, led to all but Ripley being killed.

I'm curious to hear what you guys think. But my friend has been wondering if we will ever get a "war between the aliens and the predators. After seeing this movie I told him it was pretty unlikely.
Thanks to this sequel it will be a long time and a prayer before we see another aliens or predator movie period

They didn't specifically know about the xenomorph's, but the company rules command that anything out of the ordinary should be investigated, by who ever is closest.
And being a corporate profit seeking company, they sure wanted to get their hands on the aliens, after Ash and Mother analysed the deadly perfection of the creature.

You seriously shitting me?
Predator 2 was awful. Danny Glover and Gary Busey in the same film. Just awful.
I like Alien Vs Predator because I'm a huge fan of the Alien series and Predator 1 movie, but I dont think it should be canon with the original series. The only reason why Alien Vs Predator exists in the first place is because of the great comic which was based off an practical joke by the tech crew in the second Predator movie. The Alien head was just a joke, not actually part of the story.
AVP is just making a mockery out of the Alien series and probably will jeopardize Alien 5, if it ever comes out.

If anything, it's more about the Predator in P2 than it was about Arnie in P1, which is what makes it superior in my eyes.

That and after multiple viewings of P1, the suspense was pretty much gone, whereas I probably never get bored watching P2.
So what if they're in the same film? The acting(Which was great and believable) is all I care about when it comes to who's in the movie.

Anyways, I just dropped by to see what people thought of the new movie but someone thinking Predator 2 was better than Predator 1 made me laugh, even though they are entitled to their opinion.
Originally posted by Air LegendI thought it was boring. Atleast with LA you had some activity and didn't know where the Predator would strike next or who he would strike. Plus, it was cool seeing the Predator slaughtering heavily armed drug dealers and cops.
🤨
The jungle is way more interesting than ****ing L.A.
The characters in the first one were, in my opinion, acted more like buffed up action heroes, whereas the one's in P2 were more human and believable. First of all, don't ever trust the Box Office. AVP had an AMAZING Box Office yield, but is it a good movie? HELL NO! That and I don't trust critics. Hell, Siskel and Ebert bashed the first, and it was a good movie, just goes to show you how stuck up they are.What the hell do you mean by more realistic characters? Better action? Bullshit. The box office yield speaks for that. **** the shitty box office yield of Predator 2 proves that #1 was better. Look at Alien for example. Alien 1 a very good movie, had a shitty box office yield but Aliens 2 had a great yield because Alien had paved the road for it. Predator, for its time, did very well in the box office and Predator 2 should have naturally made more but shitty Danny Glover and that fat slowass Predator who was nowhere near as good as the one in the first movie, ****ed things up.
Inconsequential. The movie can be good even if the Predator doesn't show as much, even though the first one did show the Predator for an appropriate amount of time.Bullshit. We only saw glimpses of the Predator and saw him for about 15 minutes at the end, the rest concentrated on Arnie, and last time I checked, the movie was named 'Predator', not 'Arnold Shwarzeneggar'. Predator 1 might aswell be just another Arnie Action Film, whereas Predator 2 can stand by itself.
Inconsequential again.Last time I checked, so was your opinion aswell, hypocrite.
Are you shittin me? I ain't gonna ****in watch Danny Glover and a fatass Predator over and over. Have you lost your mind?Are you racist or something? You seem to have a clear dislike for Glover. At any rate, and I ain't going to watch Arnie and The Muscles wander around a jungle aimlessly. And last time I checked, the Predator and Glover didn't fight until near the end, the rest had some great scenes of the Predator hunting and killing heavily armed drug dealers and cops. And last time I checked, the Predator in P2 was FAR from a 'fatass'.
I may be mistaken, but did you just say say the acting in Predator 2 was great? hysterical2Yeah, got a problem with that?
The box office yield is more than enough to prove that Predator was better than Predator 2 but the critics also prove that point.Anyways, I just dropped by to see what people thought of the new movie but someone thinking Predator 2 was better than Predator 1 made me laugh, even though they are entitled to their opinion.
As I mentioned above, the Box Office yield DOESN'T MEAN SHIT! AVP had a good box office yield, and ask any fan, and they'll tell you it was F*CKING HORRIBLE! And as I mentioned before, critics didn't like Predator 1 either, so your points are just about moot.

Well I'm a fan of all the Alien, Predator, and AvP movies and none have disappointed me. AvP Wasn't horrible at all, it might seem that way to some people since it was more of an action movie then a horror movie. Personally, I think the action parts let us see how the two sides would act if they got into a fight. If you read the comics, you'd know that the fights in the comics ended similarly to the ones in AvP. The Predator 1 and 2 weren't bad, but depending on the location determined how the Predator acted (A dense jungle leads to more stealth while a crowded city might call for a more aggressive approach).I do agree with the Box Office thing, just because a movie got a lot of money doesn't mean its good, AvP, however, proved this wrong since it was in fact good.
