"Okay, pussyface. It's your move.""Shit happens."How stupid this is cannot be overstated. But what it lacks in losing McTiernan's graceful geography and Arnold's sheer charisma it makes up for with a cranked-up Danny Glover and level of cartoonish luridness that would make Frank Miller wince. The Morton Downey Jr.-fronted tabloid news, the ridiculous "urban jungle" conceit (complete with Jamaican voodoo gangbangers in gold lamé parachute pants), straight on down to Gary Busey, bathed in ultraviolet light, trying to hold off the monster with a high-tech fire extinguisher. The last 45 minutes is basically one giant chase scene, almost entirely shot in graphic novel splash pages, monochromatic, all surface. A jolt machine.

There's a shot in this towards the end, Danny Glover is on the Predator's ship and he sees a bunch of skulls of the Predator's other kills, one of which is clearly the distinctively elongated head of our old friend the xenomorph. This reminded me of when the world was young, and corporate America hadn't quite finished corrupting pop culture into a never ending polluted river of tie-ins, sequels, reboots, crossovers, and you could just have a shot of a xenomorph skull without it being a commercial for the next movie, just a cool little thing most people probably wouldn't notice, for the fans. Where did we go wrong?

After twenty years I still have nothing but love for this.We all have this kind of film. A film we know is flawed, but we love it anyway. I can point out what's wrong with it (talking Predator, hello!!??), but I'm not going to, you already know what's wrong with it. I'd rather talk about what I love about it.I love that this time it takes place in an urban jungle.I love the cheesy depiction of a 'future' L.A.I love the Paxton, grinning his way through his crappy dialogue.I love the Busey, chewing his way through his crappy dialogue.I love the final battle between the Glover and the Predator.I love the final scene, hinting of a universe yet to explore.I just love it. Period.
