Question: Since the Alien and Predator movies take place in the same universe, is it possible that Jerry Lambert (who was played by Bill Paxton) may be the ancestor of Hudson (also played by Paxton) from "Aliens"?
Answer: Not likely. Bill Paxton was a popular actor who was in high demand by various directors. He also had a reputation of being professional, reliable, and was well-liked. Many directors or producers like working with the same actors in multiple projects.

Predator 2 (1990)
Question: What was a Predator doing in L.A.? Why not stick with the jungle?
Answer: There's really no reason for it not to. Predators are hunters that hunt for both sport and for honor. It likely saw hunting humans in an urban setting (especially one as chaotic as LA is portrayed in the film) as a potential greater challenge, and thus a greater reward.
Note: Cities are sometimes compared to jungles. So for the predator there is hardly a difference.
Answer: In the first film, we're told Predators are drawn to heat and hunt (when they come to Earth) humans who are combatants and can put up a fight. There's nothing in the first movie that says they only go to jungles; that just happens to be where the Predator in the first one went to.
Answer: The Predator kills humans for sport and wants to kill as many as possible (for fun and status). There is "critical mass" in cities (urban areas are heavily/densely populated) but relatively few people live in or are found in jungles. The Predator went where he was most likely to encounter MANY people and thereby maximize his head count. (Why spend all day waiting to see if you can find a human in the jungle when you know there are hundreds of thousands - even millions - of people in major cities/urban areas?).
Answer: I believe the reason was, it was looking for the ultimate challenge. In the first movie, it was the first time they had ever been defeated. They considered humans nothing more than animals to be hunted for sport. Now humans had evolved to the point, where they learn to fight back. So the Predators went to the city looking for someone who was smart, tough and shows no fear. He was studying Danny Glover, following him and taunting him.
Answer: No, it's not Lloyd. I watched the YouTube clip, pausing and studying it. There's a superficial resemblance, but it's a different actor.
