The shot in which the group of Predators uncloaks at the end of the scene is strikingly similar to a shot near the end of The Fog, in which a group of ghosts are revealed.

The Predators themselves are realistic and as gruesome and ugly as ever, and Stephen Hopkins really succeeds in maintaining the pragmatic and "dirty" look of the Predators.
This Predator also uses a different Med kit to the one in the original movie, which is pretty interesting as this Pred burns the wounds shut rather than suturing as in the first movie.
Predator himself was as nasty as he should be, very cool and large and powerful, the weapons he used were stellar, and of course he was scary looking with or without his mask on, just like any sinister space monster should be.

Predator wreaked havoc in the jungle and struck box-office gold, so Hollywood logic dictated that Predator 2 should raise hell in the big, bad city.
