PREDATOR 2 Among New Titles Coming To Prime Video In August

By  | 

There are a plethora of new titles coming to Prime Video and IMDb TV (Amazon’s premium free streaming service) in August, but the best on the list is on August 1st when PREDATOR 2 hits.

The 1990 sequel from director Stephen Hopkins starred Danny Glover, Gary Busey, María Conchita Alonso, Ruben Blades, Bill Paxton, Calvin Lockhart, Kevin Peter Hall. It’s the perfect Saturday afternoon flick, has a wonderful score from composer Alan Silvestri and the final scene of the movie with the big reveal of the spaceship’s wall that the Predator had a Xenomorph skull as one of its prized trophies. We ALIEN fans in the audience that opening weekend went wild and hoped for an ALIEN v PREDATOR crossover, which finally happened with 2004’s Alien vs. Predator. A sequel, Predators, was released in 2010, followed by The Predator in 2018.

PREDATOR 2 has developed a huge cult following since it’s initial release.
