Desperado and Dusk Till Dawn are pretty good. Sin City and the rest I haven?t seen but they?re reviewed quite favourable.
If you?re comparing resumes though, McTiernan has knocked out: Die Hard, Die Hard with a Vengeance, Predator, The Hunt for Red October, Medicine Man, The Thomas Crown Affair, Last Action Hero, Rollerball, 13th Warrior, Basic.
A few stinkers in there but when he makes a good film it?s a destined classic. To be fair as well, the only film he?d touched before Predator was Nomad; which I?ve never even heard of.

Spy kids? Crap
Sharkboy? Crap
Dusk Till Dawn? ****
Desperado? Pants
And yes even Sin City? Boring
Sin City could be called alot of things but boring certainly isnt one of them.
Dusk Til Dawn and Desperado are brilliant IMO
However neither are as good as Planet Terror which was just stupiddly awesome...
Well I thought so anyway.

Despite having varying opinions of Rodriguez's output, Sin City is awesome 'til the last third, and really gets across the spirit of the graphic novels in a manner way better than I could've expected. It's 22 years since the original Predator came out, and the rest of the sequels and spin offs have been ****e, even Predator 2, so I'm willing to give Rodriguez a chance. Anyway, it'll be a separate, different film. I've noticed over the years people getting all worked up about these 'remakes', like Dawn Of The Dead and Texas Chainsaw n' that, thinking they'll be 'replaced', but they haven't been.
At least it'll keep the Predator (ahem) 'legacy' alive.

I'm a fan of Predator 2 as well. The opening stand off with the gangs and the predator confrontation in the subway were particularly memorable. Like Dogg Thang I respect the fact that they made it a very different film than the first.
Always thought a good Aliens vs Predator film should have been a sequel to this and a prequel to Alien. The Predators coming to Earth, but not to hunt humans and what becomes the company learn of a new potential bioweapon, which they next encounter hundreds of years later in Alien.
