You may not have heard of Hall's hand in the terror acts of the last ten years but trust us, he was there.
Yes, part of the reason Hall was cast in the TV series "Misfits of Science" is because he is able to shrink his body to approximately 8 inches in length.
This ability was turned into a "superpower" for the purposes of the TV show, along with the rock star's ability to shoot lightning while he plays electric guitar and Courtney Cox's ability to fall in love with complete idiots.

HIT: A tribute to late actor Kevin Peter Hall, who portrayed the Predator.
It does an adequate job of encapsulating the film's development and production, though there's an undeniable feeling that something is missing--something along the lines of a lack of new contributions by Schwarzenegger, the screenwriters and bombastic co-producer Joel Silver.

One of Harrigan's partners (and these cops are a multi-ethnic bunch, refreshingly) is Danny (Ruben Blades), who has noticed something at a crime scene, a little bit of Predator hardware, but when he goes to fetch it he is dispatched by the monster fairly swiftly, making this personal for Harrigan.

Making sport of both the Cuban and Jamaican drug lords, the predator seems to be having a good time until Lt. Mike Harrigan (Danny Glover) and his team (comprising Ruben Blades, Maria Conchita Alonso, and Bill Paxton) get caught in the middle.
Trying to figure out what's killing the bad guys, Harrigan and company find some small clues — but every time they get closer, government agent Peter Keys (Gary Busey) tells them it's none of their business.
However, when one of Harrigan's team members dies, it becomes personal, and — like the first film — the sequel becomes a mano a mano clash between two tough hombres.

Synopsis: The quiet Californian university town of Chestnut Hills is terrorised by a monster which attacks from its victims' closets.
The best is probably the confrontation between Dr Pennyworth and the monster: he tries the Spielberg approach; it gives the Hawks/Nyby response.
Otherwise, the film’s biggest asset is its monster, which is more impressive than you would expect (and is played by long-time rubber suit wearer, Kevin Peter Hall), and its cast.

Review: Tough cop takes time away from battling drug dealers to deal with malicious extraterrestrial who exterminated Arnold's band of commandos in "Predator."

Making it even worse is the fact that the city is being roasted by a horrendous heat wave, with temperatures well above 100 degrees and climbing.
The mistake made by a great majority of sequels - especially action oriented sequels - is to turn out as little more than cheap rehashes of the films the inspired them.
The screenplay is too shallow to support these ambitions, and thus in the end the only two character who really works completely as written is that of Peter Keys (Gary Busey, Soldier), the Fed whose part bears a strong resemblance to “The Company” in the Alien movies.
