I do love it when actors are cast against type. Danny Glover is a very talented actor, but aside from his role in The Color Purple, he's generally well-known for playing fairly nice, straight-laced guys in most of his movies. Glover playing a scary, out-of-control, loose cannon cop with a bad attitude in Predator 2 - while still being able to display a great deal of charisma at the same time - is one of the many reasons that movie, while not as good as the original Predator, is nonetheless waaaay underrated.

In addition, the design of the City Hunter and his weapons is an improvement over the Jungle Hunter, the movie is very fast-paced, and the actions scenes are great. Plus, it adds to the Predator mythos in incredibility significant ways...after all, the AvP games, comics, and figures probably wouldn't exist without that infamous trophy case scene (forget the shitty AvP movies, however). It may be cheesy in parts and some of the characters are half-retarded, but I'll always love me some Predator 2.
