"Compared to the "Jungle Hunter" in the last film, the "City Hunter" comes across as more honorable and possesses more skill."

I disagree. Jungle Hunter used a wider variety of tactics, from hand-to-hand combat to psychological warfare. It didn't have as many opportunities to display the predator honor code, but the City Hunter wasn't very honorable. It didn't kill children or pregnant women, but instead of combating Mike directly, it went after the people around him regardless of their skills as fighters. The civilians in the subway car had weapons, but they were hardly combatants on the same level as the hunter himself.

When the Jungle Hunter was fighting Arnold, it was willing to face him in unarmed combat right up to the end, and only killed itself when it knew it was dying. The City Hunter tried to self destruct as soon as things started to look iffy, and when that didn't work, ran away.

I'm not comfortable editing the line out though because I don't know how much of this is YMMV.

Deleted the following Natter (which also violated Repair Dont Respond) from the Heroic Sacrifice entry.

"Although it could also be a Stupid Sacrifice as Big Pred probably didn't pose a threat to most of the (unarmed) passengers, or - as we find out later - Leona. Lambert could simply have bit off more than he could chew, his recklessness costing him his life (and skull, and spine etc.) for very little in return."
