Predator 2 is a 1990 American science fiction horror film, directed by Stephen Hopkins and written by brothers Jim and John Thomas. It is the second installment of the Predator franchise and a standalone sequel to Predator (1987). The film stars Danny Glover, Gary Busey, Rubén Blades, María Conchita Alonso, Bill Paxton, and Robert Davi, with Kevin Peter Hall reprising his role as the Predator. Set ten years after the first film, the story follows a disgruntled police detective battling a malevolent and technologically advanced extraterrestrial in the streets of Los Angeles.
When approached to write a sequel, Jim and John Thomas opted to change the setting from the isolated jungle of the first film to an inner-city urban area. Stephen Hopkins was chosen to direct the film following his work on A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child (1989). Although initial drafts featured the return of Arnold Schwarzenegger from the previous film, he declined due to a pay dispute.
