Template:Predator2 This article covers all the known deleted scenes from the 1990 film Predator 2. Prior to release, the movie had to be censored for violence to avoid an NC-17 rating. Other than extra blood and gore, a handful of smaller sequences were also cut from the film. Despite their removal, several of these scenes were included in the movie's novelization and the comic book adaptation.
Danny's Funeral
Danny Archuleta's funeral was originally seen, with several officers from the department in attendance. Afterwards, Tony Pope again confronted Harrigan for an interview, leading Captain Pilgrim to assault him and throw him away. Harrigan then intentionally backs into Pope's van as he pulls away in his car, damaging it.[1] This scene can be glimpsed in The Hunters and the Hunted, the film's making-of documentary, and was included in the novelization of the film.[2]
Hard Core
Most of the Hard Core television news segments seen throughout the film were originally considerably longer, featuring more footage of Pope both in the studio and on location. One segment singles out Harrigan as a "cowboy cop".[1] These extended sequences are available on the DVD/Blu-ray.
Heinemann at the Subway
Originally, when Harrigan arrives a the scene of the subway massacre, Heinemann begs him to help him deal with the press, who are furious at the LAPD's apparent inability to stop the killer terrorizing the city, and the fact that Keyes' team, whom Heinemann had ensured the police force bowed to, has now disappeared, leaving the police strung out to dry.[3] Harrigan refuses, blowing Heinemann off and leaving him to face the press alone. The short scene was supposed to tie into the fact that Heinemann and Harrigan had once been close friends, before Heinemann was promoted and "abandoned" Harrigan; however, that back story was also cut from the finished film.
Evidence of this sequence can be seen in the final film — when Harrigan arrives outside the subway, Heinemann is visible for a split second attempting to stop him, before the camera switches to Harrigan running for the subway entrance. The scene is included in the film's novelization.[3]
