A named woman, Leona Cantrell, speaks with at least one unnamed woman, but the contact is minimal and they mention a man. Specifically, the unnamed woman is in shock and repeats "the devil came for them" over and over in Spanish, so the gender of the devil is unambiguous. Cantrell is also present in a scene with a woman forensic scientist, but she is also unnamed and doesn't speak with Cantrell.

Unlike the first film, Predator 2 also fails for general feminism. The vast majority of females here are either sex objects for men, or victims, or just objects for men to worry about or obsess over. Its set in Los Angeles in the 90's so it probably never had a chance to be feminist. There is one strong, capable female character but she doesnt have major importance to the story.
