Predator 2?
 

Wasn't it supposed to be out tomorrow or something?

Anyone know any info? Thought it was late January...?

Thanks!!

Yes, it's out tomorrow.

Thanks chief...

It would be swell if DVDTalk had a section that listed upcoming releaes for this sort of thing ;)

it would also be nice if we had a search function or 2 threads discussing this movie on dvd on the first page, not including one about the cover diffrences....oh well, heres to dreaming -wink-

I never even realized that this movie is NC-17!!!
It must be pretty gory then. Is this DVD the NC-17 version? Was the barebones disc?

I'm pretty sure it's rated R. Not sure what's up with the new version.

Edit: The barebones and theatrical release were definately R rated. I'm not sure what though is added, as the runtime is the same as the R rated barebones disc.

I should note though, they list the barebones release as NC-17 also, and that surely isn't what the box of my copy says.

Edit again: I think they just have the rating listed incorrectly. Nobody else has it at NC-17.

We're in a different world post-Janet's 'wardrobe malfunction'.

What was once R is now NC17.

I hear Zapped, Porky's and Summer Lovers are now considered rated X movies. ;)

According to the IMDb, the film's original rating is NC-17, cut for R. It would've been nice for this new DVD to be uncut...

El Scorpio is ready!!!

The DVD is NOT uncut. It's the same ole R. I really don't know what they would have cut for R, since the movie is violent and gory has hell. Pretty sweet SE all the same.

At the Costco's here in the Portland, OR area, Predator 2 special edition came out last week. It's double packaged with the first Predator special addition for $17.99 with a $5.00 off coupon for AvP. Too bad I already had the first one.

Yeah, same here. I need to quit buying things on release day.

You're kidding...$18 for both SEs?

not sure if anyone feels the same, but I love the artwork for this new Predator 2 SE.

It is much improved over the previous R1 release.

yeah but no digi-pack, just a slip cover

How is the movie?

I'm really impressed with how good this DVD looks. They certainly spent some cash to fix it up a bit. I haven't even checked out the extras and I'm already loving this DVD.

I always liked this film far more than the first one so I'm glad to own it on DVD finally.

It's ok. Plenty of Predator action. Gary Buessy (sp?) is great in it as the villian. Danny Glover might bring on a "what the fuck? why is Danny Glover in this" from you but he's not too bad in it either. The subway scene, the freezer scene and the apartment scene are all fantastic. Plus at the end there is a little bit of AVP prehistory.

I haven't actually seen it in a while, but I remember liking it when I first saw it and taped it off HBO. Probably watched it 15-20 times after that. But that was the opinion of the 12yo version of me, so take that with a grain of salt.

That aside, anyone having trouble finding this today? I went to Best Buy and Suncoast and neither of them had any copies.

It's an underrated flick. Lot's a good ole fashioned man-in-suit sweetness, lots a gore and violence, skinnings, impalements, and some full frontal nudity. All in all, a good ole time! :)

I wasn't able to find this today. I did pick up the BB AVP giftset, but Predator 2 was no where to be found. Did anybody else have this problem in Canada, they arn't frenchifiying the package are they?!

There were like maybe 15 at Walmart. Not very many and most were gone by end of day. Expect sellout in another day.

I got to my Wal-Mart around 1 am and they had a whopping 3 on the shelf. I think some stores are underestimating how this one will sell. At $13.87 a piece I think Wal-Mart was probably sold out before dawn because my local store has a good number of people who are often there at midnight with me or that shop during the early hours of the morning.

my BB had a whole table full. well....about 10 copies, with another 20 or 30 on the shelf. nothing sells out here.

I got the last one today @ the Okemos BB. I went in around 230pm and there was only one copy left.

I did not see Predator 2 in Future Shop today. Might have a later release date here in Canada.

It was released today. :)

Here's a pic of the Canadian cover. :thmbsdwn: :mad:

my god......... it's full of ugly!

I picked mine up at Target for $14.99 along with AvP there as well for $15.99. I don't mind it, the movie isn't the greatest but none of us have the money to make it so I'll accept it.

I'll have to pick this up and upgrade my Predator 2 copy. Honestly, in terms of how good this movie is, it's no better or worse than AVP, save for having lots and lots of gore, so, well, I guess it is better.

But I think many of us fans enjoy it cause, well, it's has Predator in it. Reason why I'll probably pick up AVP too.

In the end, even though I've seen it like 4 times, I can say fully that's it not a good movie. But Preddie looks good as ever, and it's violent as hell. But, it's still a bad movie, directed by a man who has made multiple films that I think suck that I reallly was hoping would be good (Lost in Space, Ghost in the Darkness).

I think that's why I was so appalled by AVP's pg-13 rating. While I can tolerate AVP cause, well, it is what it is, at least Alien Ressurection and Predator 2 offer us the goods when it comes to cheap exploitative violence.

damn right it's better than AVP. atleast they get the heat vision right.

I've noticed people are getting the DVD at Best Buy. Circuit City has it this week for only $12.99, if you are interested.

I PMed this at bestbuy today and they also gave me the 10% extra off so I got predator 2 for $11.69. I also got batman tas vol 2 for $26.99 w/ the CC price match as well.

i'm curious about that.
it's 34.99 at bb 29.99 at cc.
so price nmatch plus extra 10% would makre it 29.49, wouldnt it?

how did you get it down to 26.99?

Just wanted to chime in and say that the DTS track on this puppy is very loud! VERY! Sounds excellent and the transfer is a lot better than the lackluster original release.

Walmart and Future Shop had quite a few copies here in Edmonton.

Le Predateur 2? Hehe, cute.

You guys do know it's 12.99 at circuit city right?
