Predator 2 movie storyline. LAPD lieutenant Mike Harrigan (Danny Glover) and his cocky detective partner Jerry Lambert (Bill Paxton) soon realize that what seemed a bloody feud between voodoo high priest King Willie’s (Calvin Lockhart) Jamaican gangs and Ramon Vega’s (Corey Rand) Colombian drug gang is actually the work of a scary third party. Peter Keyes’s (Gary Busey) federal team shields the crime scene even for the LAPD, but after forensics proves it must be an alien, who keeps making victims, the chase brings them all together.

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. The film is a sequel to 1987’s Predator, with Peter Hall reprising the title role of the Predator.

The film received negative reviews, despite gaining a moderate return at the box office grossing $57 million worldwide, and it was considered a disappointment compared to the previous film’s $98 million gross on a smaller production budget. It has since become a cult film among fans. A sequel followed 20 years later in 2010.
