1089.0. "Predator & Predator 2" by POLAR::TYSICK (Knight of the Soundtable) Tue May 28 1996 12:31

    	Predator and Predator 2 are now open for discussion!
    
    They both concern the same story (Alien visits Earth with intent of
    hunting) but take place in two different places (Jungle/City) and
    have two different lead characters. (Arnie/Glover)

1089.1They're dug in there like an Alabama tick...POLAR::TYSICKKnight of the SoundtableTue May 28 1996 12:3812
    I (IMHO) think Predator kicks P2's butt!
    
    	A better cast in the first one...although the second wasn't lacking
    much in talent either...
    
    	Better story...more action...great one liners...excelent F/X for
    '87.
    
    	What do you think?

    Actually Arnie was making T2 at the time. That was the reason he wasn't
    involved in Predator 2. I thought Glover did ok in part two. What was
    good in part two was that you got to see the alien a lot more. I
    thought they were both entertaining, but the first one was better.

1089.5We already knewBRAT::MONBLEAUMon Jun 03 1996 14:115
    Thye had to be differentkinds of movies. In P1 thre was more suspense
    as they slowly revealed the aliein creature to us. In P2, we already
    knew what the creature was so they had to make up for the lack of
    mystery with more action - which they did. I enjoyed both films by
    not bothering myself too much with comparisons.
