Predator 2: Difference between revisions
Predator 2 is the 1990 sequel to 1987's Predator. Set in the then-future year of 1997, another Predator descends upon a besieged Los Angeles to hunt for human trophies, one of which could be LAPD Detective Mike Harrigan (Danny Glover).
The following weapons were used in the film Predator 2:
This 18th century pistol with a characteristically Iberian form of flintlock ignition was presented to Mike Harrigan (Danny Glover) by the Elder Predator at the end of the film. The movie prop was an off-the-shelf commercially available non-firing replica from the Spanish manufacturer Denix, made in cast pot metal and hardwood. The external miquelet mainspring and full-cock sear are purely decorative, as the replica uses the same internal dry-fire mechanism as the other Denix models. It was reportedly customized for the movie by Keystone Arsenal Replicas. Modifications appear limited to the removal of the original die-cast sideplate and fabrication of the over-sized engraved sheet-metal replacement.
Det. Leona Cantrell (Maria Conchita Alonso) uses a SIG-Sauer P226 with a laser sight as her sidearm of choice. Det. Jerry Lambert (Bill Paxton) also carries a P226, a nickel/stainless variant, notably aboard the subway train and later when attacked by the Predator.
A 2.5"-barrel Smith & Wesson Model 66 is one of the handguns Harrigan selected from in his trunk cache. It also appears to be the revolver pulled by a subway rider who is threatened by some thugs.
In addition to his Desert Eagle, Harrigan uses a Remington 1100 semi auto shotgun with pistol grip and laser sight. He uses it to kill various gang members and to injure the Predator near the end of the film.
A Franchi SPAS-15 can be seen being used by an LAPD sergeant (Steve Kahan) with a laser sight attached to it (which seems rather unnecessary for a shotgun) in the beginning of the movie.
In the opening shootout, several LAPD officers can be seen with the Mossberg 500 Bullpup. It's also briefly glimpsed in Harrigan's trunk as he loads up before confronting the Predator. Garber (Adam Baldwin) also is seen carrying one as he confronts Harrigan at the end of the movie.
Harrigan (Danny Glover) uses a CAR-15 variant with an underslung M203 grenade launcher when he confronts the Predator. Since the receiver is never seen clearly it remains unidentified.
Used by Peter Keyes' (Gary Busey) government agents who attempt to hunt down the Predator in the abattoir. It has side-by-side barrels.
Steyr AUG
Used by various Colombian gang members during the shootout at the beginning of the film. Some LAPD officers are also seen holding these weapons outside of the Metro station.
Heckler & Koch G3A3s are used by the Colombian gang during the shootout at the beginning of the film. LAPD officers are also seen using G3A3s with laser sights attached to them.
When Mike Harrigan (Danny Glover) goes to the metro station to find Jerry Lambert (Bill Paxton), a police officer wearing a PASGT helmet can be seen holding an M16A1. Various M16A1s can be seen when the Colombians pick up weapons at the beginning of the film.
El Scorpio is seen using two Micro Uzi's during the opening scene before being forced to flee. These customized two- tone Uzi's are the same ones used in the film Total Recall.
At the start of the movie, one of the Colombian gangsters picks up a Barrett M82A1 from their weapons cache. The gangster with the Barrett M82A1 is Thomas Rosales Jr., a Hispanic professional stuntman who routinely plays unnamed thugs in motion pictures.
One of the Colombians is seen taking up a Iver Johnson AMAC-1500 in El Scorpio's armory. Perhaps not the best choice for a stand off with police, as to reload the bolt needs to be completely removed and a single round loaded to fire.
Two Colombians pick up two M60 machine guns when they are in their weapons cache. One member of the special team headed up by Peter Keyes (Gary Busey) uses one with the bipod and the sights removed (a la US Navy SEALs in Vietnam).
Colombian gang leader 'El Scorpio' (Henry Kingi) uses a Def Tech 1315 37mm launcher, made to look like an HE launcher. Its used to kill or injure two LAPD officers and destroy a Police car.
