Predator:
Rambo meets Alien in this terrific science-fiction thriller from 1987, directed by John McTiernan just a year before Die Hard made him Hollywood's most sought-after director of action-packed blockbusters. Arnold Schwarzenegger leads an elite squad of U.S. Army commandos to a remote region of South American jungle, where they've been assigned to search for South American officials who've been kidnapped by terrorists. Instead they find a bunch of skinned corpses hanging from the trees and realize that they're now facing a mysterious and much deadlier threat. As the squad is picked off one by one, Arnold finds himself pitted against a hideous alien creature that's heavily armed and wearing a spacesuit enabling the creature to render itself invisible. The title says it all in describing the relentless, escalating action that follows, maintained by McTiernan with an abundance of visual flair. The film's special effects are still impressive, and stunning locations in the Mexican jungles create a combined atmosphere of verdant beauty and imminent danger. The plot doesn't hold up to much scrutiny, but the movie's so exciting and tightly paced that its weaknesses seem irrelevant. --Jeff Shannon
Predator 2:
Predator wreaked havoc in the jungle and struck box-office gold, so Hollywood logic dictated that Predator 2 should raise hell in the big, bad city. Los Angeles, to be specific, and this near-future L.A. (circa 1997) is an ultra-violent playground for the invisibility-cloaked alien that hunted Arnold Schwarzenegger in the previous film. Scant explanation is given for the creature's return, and because Ah-nuld was busy making Total Recall, Danny Glover was awkwardly installed as the maverick cop (is there any other kind?) who defies a government goon (Gary Busey) to curtail the alien's inner-city killing spree. But why bother, when the victims are scummy Colombian drug lords? Don't look for intelligent answers; director Stephen Hopkins favors wall-to-wall action over sensible plotting, allowing Stan Winston's more prominently featured Predator to join the ranks of iconic movie monsters. And anticipating Alien vs. Predator in comic books and in theaters, there's a familiar-looking skull in the Predator's trophy case! --Jeff Shannon

GOOD SHOW WORTHWHILE WATCHING OVER AND OVER AGAIN
AS OUR HERO AGAINST THE PREDATOR WHICH STARTED THE FRANCHISE
HIGHLY RECOMENDED
Rating: - ExtraTestosterone meets Extraterrestrial
The Predator first burst onto the scene in the late 80's and to my surprise several youngsters today were unaware of these first two films.
I had to order these DVDs to enlighten these young men...now they are hooked all over again when I put this ground breaking film into context for them.
These Muscle bound jocks like Jesse Ventura,Arnold Swartzenneger and Mr Action Jackson-Carl Weathers is nothing but Extra Testosterone. I really enjoyed the over hyped macho acting these guys brought ... Read More
Rating: - Ready, set, kill
Sometimes, I'm in the mood for a comedy with witty dialog and clever satire. Sometimes, I'm in the mood for a drama to jerk my tears or stimulate my brain cells. At other times, though, I just want to sit down for a few hours and watch people die in really awesome ways. The Predator movies deliver just that, served up by one of the most wicked killers in movie-villain history, right up there with Chucky, Darth Vader, or the T-1000. And both Predator movies are served up right here, both in their two ... Read More
Rating: - Worth it if you are a fan
I saw this item advertised and decided to look into it. I wanted the 2 disk versions of each movie and thought this would be a good option..particularly because other reviews indicated it was packaged in a slim case (my shelf needs some room, so consolidation and smaller size, without sacrificing content is attractive to me). Each one of the special editions of these two movies goes for around $13-$15 a piece so it seemed like a good enough deal.
I picked this up and when I first got it in my ... Read More
Rating:  - Predator 1 & 2 Double Movie Disc!!
I think Schwarzenegger was great in the first Predator.
Now I don't think Glover did justice to part 2.
Glover was good in "LETHAL WEAPON" but this isn't his style of movie.
I would rate part 1 at a 8, part 2 I rate at a 5 from 1to10!!
