Predator 2 established several new facts about the Predators,
and actually painted them in a somewhat less harsh light than the
previous film. The Predators are something of a noble hunter, and
as a code they refuse to hunt or kill any unarmed prey, sick prey,
or a pregnant prey. Also, at the end of the film, after Glover
chases the alien back to his space ship and kills him he comes face
to face with a dozen more Predators as they decloak and surround
the cop. But presumably because their comrade was defeated in a
fair match, they let the human live while attending to the dead
Predator, even giving him a trophy in honor of his victory.
The ship Leader supposedly fought some pirates in 1715 taking a gun
with him and gives it to Harrigan as a trophy.. a cool scene
