PREDATOR is set in the remote jungle of a Central American country, where an elite group of commandos led by Major Dutch Schaeffer (Arnold Schwarzenegger), embarks on a CIA mission to clear out a guerrilla stronghold and rescue the remaining hostages. However, the hunters become the hunted when a highly intelligent, otherwordly being slowly and methodically starts killing off members of Dutch's team. Possessing a chameleonlike camouflaging ability and a deadly alien arsenal, the creature tracks down the soldiers one by one. Director John McTiernan's film is a thrilling high-action flick, filled with great one-liners (courtesy of Schwarzenegger, Jesse Ventura, and the rest of the cast) and excellent special effects. In PREDATOR 2, the fierce hunter from another world is back--this time seeking prey in the gang-ruled and ravaged city of Los Angeles, 1997. A detective (Danny Glover) and his police force set out to capture this brutal murderer from beyond, ignoring the warnings from a mysterious government agent to stay away.

Advantages: great if you like lots of fighting and aliens, of course there is only one Disadvantages: Not good if you don't like gore and being made to jump a bit
There is plenty of gore, lots of flesh ripped off hung up bodies! Arnie, of course, makes the first film that much better. The alien has plenty of weapons and defences, including the ability to become almost invisible. We also find out why he is here.
The first film starts with a bunch of soldiers in the jungle on a rescue mission ,they think they will only fight humans, wrong! Also they have been lied too. (government coverup?)
They also think ... ...the predator. Watch out for the pretty good effect of an invisible alien rushing through the forest.
Loads of killing later, Arnie turns in to a hero of extreme proportions, of course, but the effects are good and a fairly good take on the bad alien comes to earth theme.
The plot thickens in the next movie.The alien turns up in a modern American city. Don't miss the alien barging his way through astounded peoples apartments when he has to make ...

Advantages: two DVD's of killing and blood Disadvantages: bit expensive but its ok
With the release of Alien Vs predator and the two disk special edition Predator2DVD's comes the collector's edition boxset of predator 1 and 2!!
Predator is a pure killing machine that kills for fun, an alien who sees in infra red vision who can spot its pray by seeking body heat and has a brilliant sense of seeking hostile weaponry. A true predator to be scared of!
The two DVD collectors edition contains both films with bonus disks packed full of extras.
Predator 1
Predator 1 stars Arnold schwarzenegger in a action packed fight for survival!, a crack team of US solders are sent into jungle in central America to rescue hostages held by guerrilla fighters, as the story leads on "dutch" (schwarzenegger) finds out his mission is not a rescue mission but purely a mission to destroy a massive surveillance sight occupied by ...
has some good features such as outtakes and interviews.
What lets this dvdset down is predator2. The story;
The predator comes back to haunt Los Angeles. Danny Glover stars as Lt. Hannigan who realises the drug lords he is fighting are being killed off in a very brutal fashion. Harrigan sets off to kill the alien before it strikes again.
This film is watchable but i wouldnt want to see it again. It seems the directors have concentrated too much on making the film as scary and as gory as possible but have lacked imagination on the story. The acting is good but the story really lets it down. ...
Advantages: great special effects, nice soundtrack, predator technology well developed in movie Disadvantages: none
I'm a big fan of the character "Predator" and the first movie shows it off well. Its well shot with the locations well chosen and the special effects not giving an idea of the "Predator" itself until well into the movie. Relatively good acting by Arnie, although its good he doesn't have too many lines. The opening sequence where he meets General Phillips can spoil the movie if you don't like lame lines. Like the jungle scences and the sequences where you only see the infrared images from the "Predator". Predator2 is a good movie but it misses the character of Dutch as in the book the movie should have been based on- "Concrete Jungle". Bit creepy feel to it with the dark shots used. Like the ending scene inside the Pred ship (note the "Aliens" skull in the background !)but could do without the character of Jerry Lambert. He gets annoying ...
