The invisible creature from another world is back - but this time seeking out heat and conflict - is drawn to the gang-ruled and ravaged city of Los Angeles, 1997. The detective-lieutenant and his police force set out to capture this brutal murderer, ignoring the warnings from a mysterious government agent to stay away.
The problem with most sequels is that they lack their predecessor(s)' creativity and freshness. Take "Predator 2" for example: The entire notion of being trapped by an indestructible murderous creature in a world unknown to you is put to waste by moving the Predator to the urban jungle of LA, where cop Harrigan (Danny Glover), a drug enforcement officer, hunts down the Predator on his own turf. This isn't too bad of an idea, as the city grants the agile and almost invisible Predator room to hurl himself from building to building above the skyline at night, picking off prey in stealth and hanging them from the top of buildings, skinned alive, just like he did with Dutch's (Arnold Schwarzenegger) commando team, only there they were in Columbia and had only trees to be hung on.
