Talk:Predator 2

Followed By

Shouldn't Predators be what Predator 2 is followed by and not Alien vs Predator? AvP was a spin-off franchise of its own. Predators is actually part of the same series as Predator and Predator 2.  — [Unsigned comment added by Sarbio (talk • contribs) 16:24, 24 April 2010 (UTC).]

No. The AVP films are part of both franchises, not "a spin-off franchise of its own". They are thematically linked to both the Alien and Predator franchises, serving as prequels to the Alien films and sequels to the Predator ones. They are not a separate series. The fields in the infobox are for the production order of films in the franchise, and the AVP films are part of the franchise. --IllaZilla (talk) 18:09, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

Apparently they're not canon because Ridley Scott's Prometheus totally retconned what was established in the AVP films. The Aliens didn't even exist at that time.--Boba Fett TBH (talk) 19:23, 16 September 2013 (UTC)

It's a moot point now as that parameter has been deprecated. Cheers. DonIago (talk) 19:47, 16 September 2013 (UTC)

Slaughterhouse scene

Is it just me, or is it worth noting/pointing out how similar this scene is to Aliens when the Marines are ambushed? Maybe not "pointing out", but is there a place on Wikipedia for info like that? I don't know, I'm having a hard time putting this into words, know what I mean? -Kevin — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.126.160.49 (talk) 19:51, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

It would be original research unless a reliable source took note of the similarity. DonIago (talk) 20:02, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

Production Notes

I've heard that Steven Hopkins states in his commentary for Predator 2 that the film had to be edited to avoid an NC-17 rating. Unfortunately I can't find any proof of this on the internet, and I'm not exactly sure which DVD release has the commentary. I think this is very much worth noting, but I don't know how to cite that kind of source. Sorry, I'm a total noob when it comes to wikipedia. So anyway, should this tid-bit of info stay, or should it be deleted? — Preceding unsigned comment added by RomeoBatGuy (talk • contribs) 08:03, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

A reference to the DVD/Bluray commentary with a timestamp would be best but maybe a screenrant article would do as a source.[1] -- 109.79.88.232 (talk) 05:20, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

Alien Skull

In the predator's spacecraft o e of the trophies is a Xenomorph skull, the first link between the two franchises. 80.7.168.14 (talk) 23:43, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

And? This is already mentioned in the article. DonIago (talk) 01:06, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
