TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY MOVIE REVIEW | 39:15 - 43:16
Terminator 2: Judgment Day Movie Description:
In this sequel set eleven years after "The Terminator," young John Connor (Edward Furlong), the key to civilization's victory over a future robot uprising, is the target of the shape-shifting T-1000 (Robert Patrick), a Terminator sent from the future to kill him. Another Terminator, the revamped T-800 (Arnold Schwarzenegger), has been sent back to protect the boy. As John and his mother (Linda Hamilton) go on the run with the T-800, the boy forms an unexpected bond with the robot.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day (also promoted as T2) is a 1991 American science fiction action film produced and directed by James Cameron, who co-wrote the script with William Wisher. The film stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton, Robert Patrick, Edward Furlong and Joe Morton as its principal cast. It is the sequel to the 1984 film The Terminator, as well as the second installment in the Terminator franchise. Terminator 2 follows Sarah Connor (Hamilton) and her ten-year-old son John (Furlong) as they are pursued by a new, more advanced Terminator: the liquid metal, shapeshifting T-1000 (Patrick), sent back in time to kill John and prevent him from becoming the leader of the human resistance. A second, less-advanced Terminator (Schwarzenegger) is also sent back in time by the "Resistance" to protect John.
While talks of a follow-up to The Terminator arose following its release, its development was stalled due to technical limitations regarding computer-generated imagery, a vital aspect of the film, and legal issues with original producer Hemdale Film Corporation, who controlled half of the franchise rights. In 1990, Carolco Pictures acquired the rights from Hemdale and production immediately began, with Schwarzenegger, Hamilton, and Cameron returning. Principal photography began in October 1990 and lasted until March 1991. Its visual effects saw breakthroughs in computer-generated imagery, including the first use of natural human motion for a computer-generated character and the first partially computer-generated main character. At the time of its release, with a budget of $94-102 million, Terminator 2: Judgment Day was the most expensive film ever made.
Terminator 2: Judgment Day was released in the United States on July 3, 1991 by TriStar Pictures. It was a critical success upon its release, with praise going towards the performances of its cast, the action scenes, and its visual effects. Regarded as superior to the original film and one of the best sequels ever made, the film influenced popular culture, especially the use of visual effects in films. It grossed $520 million worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing film of 1991 and of Schwarzenegger's career, as well as the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time, until The Matrix Reloaded surpassed it in 2003. It received several accolades, including Academy Awards for Best Sound Effects Editing, Best Sound, Best Makeup, and Best Visual Effects, and the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation - Long Form.

This Is One Of The Greatest Action Movies I've Seen! The Intro Was Obviously A Joke.
Whats Your Favorite Line From This Movie?? Please Share And Like This Video.
"Hasta la vista baby!!!!!!"
I cant wait to watch this!! Thank you for this one :)
Dude, I love your reactions!
True Lies 1994 if you love the Cameron/Schwarzenegger collaboration.
At 35:14 simpsons spoofed this lol
Hey when you were talking about the photo the kid took at the beginning, did you know that's the same photo Kyle had earlier on in the movie?
Dyson's weird breathing was something he drew from real life, he had been in a car crash and suffered a collapsed lung and experienced that type of breathing and thus, used it in the film.
Knowing from experience, I gotta tell that's exactly how you'd breath with a pneumothorax. You can only make quick shallow breaths cuz if you try to breath deep it will hurt as hell and you'll start coughing, which will hurt you even more.
If that's what he tried to emulate I gotta say that was pretty realistic.
@@eoftar3192 Wow, sorry to hear you went through that, it must of been terrifying.
Holy crap. That's oddly amazing
My father panted that way for 45 mins before he passed. Was nearly a decade ago but that one thing sticks with me like it was yesterday.
@@lloydymk2013 truly awful. Sorry you and your father had to go through that.
Terminator 2 is almost 30 years old, and it's STILL the best action movie ever made. A groundbreaking, legendary all time classic.
One of the closest things I’ve ever seen to a perfect film,
Not only is it still the best (or at least in the top 3) best action films ever made, its special effects are somehow superior to the last Terminator film made only a couple of years ago. How is that even possible for a 30 year old film to look better than a 2-3 year old film with a bigger budget? It blows my mind.
Its 30 years 1991
@@Aethelhald practical effects tend to look so good compared to CGI. Maybe not always as realistic, but very often better.
Course theres CGI in this one, but its not the focus in effects like in newer movies
@@zeallust8542 But even when we do see CGI in this film, like when T-1000 comes up out of the floor to kill vending machine cop, or when he morphs through the bars with Dr. Silverman watching. It looks so much better than it did in Genisys.
"He going into the lava like a G! The liquid dude was screaming like a bitch" That part had me laughing 😂😂
I can imagine the actors, James Cameron, Gale Hurd, and the entire T2 crew laughing at that comment.
But you know it wasn’t screaming because it was in pain. Right?
Lol same
🤣🤣🤣
I for sure laughed out loud haha
"Thank you for the free shotgun... Dumbass!" - that was gold!😂
Trivia: The scenes where he takes the form of Sarah Connor and the hospital guard aren’t CGI, they’re the actors identical twins.
Don and Dan Stanton. I didn't know this until I saw Good Morning Vietnam.
Linda's twin, was her real twin sister.
Also the nightmare scene, and the one where she's working on the T-800's head. In the second scene, that's not a mirror. The Arnold you're seeing from the back, is a prop. The real Arnold is in the mirror, with her sister. The two of them practiced for a long time to mirror each other's moves perfectly.
@@bipolarewok Mom and dad save the earth
Sadly, her twin Leslie died last August :(
Fun fact that stunt helicopter actually did fly underneath that underpass and the cameraman's refused to tape it saying they didn't want to record somebody's death so James Cameron did the camera work himself
Cameron also said he wishes he can go back to that scene and change the helicopter to CGI so that it can bounce around the underpass more with sparks etc. He thinks it looks too “perfect”.
Who was flying it Jim? Lol.
@@SlyRy Very interesting, and odd of him to say that. The T-1000 doesn't strike me as being clumsy or prone to miscalculation. If any pilot on Earth would perform that helo maneuver flawlessly, it'd be the T-1000. Perhaps it would've been appropriate after he froze solid and reassembled, when he begins to malfunction.
@@SlyRy Ugh, we're so lucky people like him and George Lucas made these excellent films before going off the deep end. I think the only scene in the film that doesn't look great is the rear projection when the Terminator grabs John off his bike in front of the truck.
Oh and maybe the scene where the Terminator flies off the liquid nitrogen truck but I feel like they touched that scene up in recent versions and it somehow looks worse.
@@LordGopu Yeah when he jumps off the liquid nitrogen truck -- jank city.
@@SlyRy Thank god they weren't able to replace it with CGI back then. Even 30 years later many CGI effects look like crap (CGI stunts in T3, anyone?). So it's great that we can enjoy some real-life stuff in older movies.
"From that ending, I wonder where they coulda went after this..." Nowhere! is the answer, the answer is nowhere, and thats exactly where the rest of the franchise goes. The Terminator series ends here for me.
If you watched the Director's cut, that would be the perfect closure for you.
Downhill!
I second this. The rest of the franchise ranges from acceptable to awful. You're better off stopping here.
@@usamazahid3882 to be fair I'd agree to more only if James Cameron was directing and writing,
Understood about the 3rd… no spoilers, but I respected the end for the 3rd movie…. Probably the only part of the movie I didn’t have an issue with.
Audiences in 1991 were not ready for the T-1000. The special effects still hold up to this day.
"What are you going to do, Dollar General Carl Winslow?"
I FUCKING DIED, MAN!
Omg YESS!
It's Big Mike from the show Chuck!
I lost it, I'm DEAD! 😂
I just remembered. Carl Winslow was in an episode of Chuck and played his brother.
Omg seriously hysterical 🤣🤣🤣
Sarah Connor's attack on Dyson is a brilliant turnabout for her character. She ALMOST becomes a terminator herself, killing someone for something he hasn't done yet. But her humanity stops her even before John and Arnie intervene!
barely, she almost did it.
@@Lionheart1188 make me, dino-bitch.
Also hints toward why they send Terminators in Read only mode.
Because if they start to gain any slight hint of humanity they won't be able to Terminate.
I never thought about it like that. Good observation.
If it wasn't for his son's toy hitting his ankle at that exact time, she would have.
The hydrogen bomb dream sequence is considered to be very accurate. The production watched hours of bomb testing footage and even had military consultants for insight on how a bomb that size would destroy an urban area.
Man, that's amazing you were able to see it without knowing that Arnold was a good Terminator. When it came out it was spoiled in the trailers. Also when it came out it blew people's fucking minds. That morphing shit was new (it's sort of in The Abyss, but not like this).
IKR? The way the movie builds up to the reveal that this time Arnold was the good guy was just beautifully crafted. Cameron was apparently pissed about the trailer spoiling it.
Every time I watch that scene where Sarah first sees Arnold in the hall, I get chills thinking of the terror she must be feeling because she has no idea he’s a good guy now. Her acting is phenomenal in that scene especially. That was shot so well.
Weird, I remember it differently, that they managed to keep a secret. Keep in mind, trailers were not as accessible as they are now, so maybe I just missed it.
The budget was literally increased 20x times
The first movie - 5 million
This movie - 100 million
And it was well worth it
sorry i added a like to make it 70
I read somewhere it cost around 800k per minute.
First movie was 6.4 million, but the cool fact is that T2 is the first movie to hit 100 mill or more, and was the most expensive film ever made when it came out.
6.4m million for the 1st one. 15 times the budget.
Sarah doing pullups scene was Arnold's suggestion bc she got so cut for her part and he wanted others to see her hard work. Patrick got the part by sending a tape of him running with that intense expression.
I so wanted to be Sarah after this movie. She was such a bad ass!!!!
And that is how you do female empowerment.
Boba And Ben there’s more than one way to do it.
@@NoctemAeternusMusic some are good, some are bad
The funny thing about Patrick's running is the Mall scene where he's chasing John on the dirt bike in the parking garage was actually the second take, because in the first Patrick ran so fast he actually caught up to the bike. That man in his prime could RUN.
Fun Fact:
The only time the two terminator's talked to each other in the entire film was when John made a phone called back to his foster's parents. And even then, Both the terminator's were impersonating someone else.
Love your reaction, but I do want to point out-While it’s true Sarah and Kyle only had two or three days together, you have to remember that Kyle had zero experience with women before her. He was a virgin whose other contact with women was as fellow soldiers. He spent years dreaming of the legend of this woman who lived in a better world who ended up being every bit as compassionate and strong in reality. And don’t forget that John specifically gave him that picture. It’s no surprise that he was innocent enough romantically to go from idolizing this legend to falling into serious infatuation (or even possibly assuming that infatuation and love are the same thing). And as for Sarah-here’s a man who saves you over and over from deeply traumatizing circumstances who tells you he’s basically worshipped you for years and is-to be blunt- hot AF? And who literally dies for you? There aren’t many women resisting that.
What gets me is that time thing. John had the picture to give to Reese, but it's the same picture taken by the Mexican kid after the chain of events from the first movie. It's like Reese was sent to 84 before he was sent to 84.
I've always loved Robert Patrick's cameo in Wayne's World, when he pulls Wayne over for speeding, then walks up as the T-1000 asking if he has seen John Connor... makes me lol every time!
He also has a cameo in Last Action Hero, dressed as the T-1000 but he doesn't say anything, he just walks by. Love that he does the fan service stuff.
He was also in the Sopranos right, a degenerate gambler loser type, weak and feable, it was amazing to see the mafia take advantage of him..
Robert Patrick (the T-1000 himself!) has some amazing stories about working with Arnold Schwarzenegger and James Cameron in this edition of #OnLocation with Josh Horowitz. ruclips.net/video/DDzJs126JrM/видео.html
And imagine..... extremefitnesslifestyle.com/this-young-russian-bodybuilder-is-an-exact-replica-of-arnold-schwarzenegger/
@@lukoshey79 yeah
Me too!
Cool fact, Robert Patrick doesn't blink when he's shooting as he taught himself offscreen to make himself more believable as a Terminator.
A gun consultant who works in Hollywood said the only two actors who can do that are Robert Patrick and Clint Eastwood. Also, Robert Patrick learned how to run fast without breathing and ran too fast in the first chase and caught up with the bike so he had to slow down.
Wouldn't a terminator be programmed to blink so as not to stand out?
@@jcarlovitch not if it no longer needs to hide
Edward G. Robinson started that trend back with 'Little Caesar'. He felt his character would be such a stone-cold killer that he used tape to keep from blinking in te murder scenes.
He does blink once, when questioning John's foster parents. Look again.
She deserved an Oscar for that speech. "YOU'RE THE ONE LIVING IN A F'N DREAM!"
I love how you knew Sarah Connor wouldn’t call out to her son for help. She would never put him in danger he is too important to the future of mankind 😎
The original ending has her driving down a dark road at night talking about an uncertain future. It is much better.
I posted above about not remembering this ending, at all. I thought I was getting old and forgetting shit :P Ending it on Sarah Connor driving into an uncertain future is much better than this revised ending. This one just doesn’t fit the tone of the movie.
I concur. The theatrical ending is much better.
I totally agree. That whole "Because If a machine, a Terminator can learn the value of human life . . . maybe we can to." is just a PERFECT final line.
That said, the paperback "Book Ending" here in the Directors cut isn't "bad" per se. It's just better read than viewed.
Some of the OTHER additions from this version (like showing that the liquid nitrogen actually "Damaged" the T-1000) was an overall positive.
That being said, we wouldn’t have gotten all those shitty sequels if this had been the original ending.
I like the original ending better but still prefer this ending because had they gone with it there would have never been a T3, Genesys or Dark Fate.
Possibly one of the best action movies ever.
Not possibly... It is.
@@mitchclement3773 it also got me into Music composition/film scores. I love Brad Fiedel's definitive Terminator theme.
I can take "possibly", I can take "one of the best", but "possibly one of the best"? thats like ... offensive!
@@sargentocapitao9668 I hope it didn't offend you too much. 😆 There are plenty of actions films tho that are epic, but a few come close to T2.
@@Wholesomewebs ahah just kidding man, it just blows my mind someone not saying this is one of the best action movies ever made. I cant think of ten action movies that are better then this one. just the perfect balance of cgi and pratical effetcs alone is something that could only happen in the 90s
The leap in technology between the two films is amazing. The liquid metal was a huge deal.
My parents told me that the first time I watched this movie was when I was two years old. They said that they think it was my favorite, because anytime I wasn’t watching this movie I would cry and throw a hissy-fit. They would just put this movie on repeat for me to watch over and over for the entire day.
Then after a few months I stopped watching it and then I never watched it again until I was like thirteen and my parents told me about my infant years, watching this movie on repeat. So they let me watch it again there.
And ever since then I still like this movie.
Awwwww, sweetheart 😂🎊🤗
The ridding horses at the playground are a representation of the four horsemen of the apocalypse
Bloody hell, you're right. I never thought of that and it absolutely makes sense.
Of... of course! I knew that! The four whatyousaid...
Lmao Rob 😃
nice catch
@@robdom91 haha 😂
Funny thing about Robert Patrick... he trained himself to the point that he could out run the dirt bike
They had to scrap takes because he caught up to him!
His handgun training was even more insane
well didnt he say he was track & field
Not only that but he forced himself to breathe through his nose because panting would look too human. He also never blinked unless he was "acting human" for someone else's benefit.
He also trained himself to shapeshift into other people. He offered to play Mulder when he was on The X-Files, but he couldn't because of SAG rules. Damn you, Crispin Glover!
I had such a huge crush on Linda Hamilton after this movie. Ellen Ripley and Sarah Connor are some of the greatest female characters to appear in a Sci-Fi movie. Too bad so many in the Hollywood crowd don't remember or know why they were such strong characters.
It always makes me angry that I forget about Sarah Connor whenever feminists are invoking the "not enough female action heroes" trope because she may be the best example of a female character in an action movie, ever. She's conflicted and human but also driven and strong.
@@CopiousDoinksLLC When they say "not enough female characters" they really mean "not enough contrived wokeness".
@@willesnille That pisses me off to no end. All these hack creators pretending they're the first to do something when they're not even the hundredth.
When Robert Patrick did his intro scene, there was a passenger train that passed by and all he could do was stand naked, smile and wave.
“Hasta la vista, baby” became your “middle school lingo” because of this movie. People would quote a lot of one-liners from T1 & T2.
Ha! You're right!😆
"chill out, dickwad."
“Fuck you, Asshole”
It was Edward Furlongs first movie and he grew so much on the movie he had to stand in a hole for some scenes for continuity.
Linda Hamilton actually escaped from the restraints and picked the locks she would not let them fake it.
So am i the only one who still cries at the end? When john's voice cracks when he's trying to get the tetminator to stay, my heart man...
T2 is my favorite film, no contest. Whenever it's on TV, I will stop whatever I was doing and watch it. The pacing, the vfx, the writing and the stunts are just jaw dropping. I'm glad you watched the Director's Cut, it really helps explain some things. Linda Hamilton is f'ing amazing in this movie. Her acting carries it all.
Thanks for noticing the stuntwork. My dad was the stuntman for John so this movie will always have a special meaning to me.
What's pretty amazing is that scene in the prison when the T-1000 went through the bars was entirely improv. Robert Patrick actually turned into liquid metal to phase through the bars and impressed James Cameron so much that he kept it in the movie.
Underrated comment
😆
Sorry, but can I have a reference for that? I'm not convinced...
Super underrated comment, lol
My favorite type of comment 😂
Thank goodness that this was the last Terminator movie ever. Greatest Duology ever.
Agreed, it's great that they made these two movies, really told a complete story that made sense. Glad they knew when to quit and call it a day.
Athan Immortal ...A rare display of restraint that you don't see in Hollywood anymore.
@@AthanImmortal i liked the 3rd one to. The 4th one was bad. 5 was bad. 6 was ok i guass
Only 2 movies, and a couple shitty fan films. 😅
Yeah like Alien saga, two great movies and the second directed by Cameron.
The scene with the security guard seeing his double was done with practical effects. The actor had a twin brother and the shot with them looking eye to eye was done in real time with the twin brothers. Very cool.....
Linda Hamilton also had a twin sister, who recently passed away a year or two back, was Sarah with the older hairstyle on the playground in the nuke scene.
@@Bloodreign1 damn I didn't know her sister passed.. ☹️
Fun fact, Robert Patrick (the t1000) practiced a shooting range to minimize flinching as much as possible to make him seem more robotic when shooting.
The whole canal scene alone is a masterpiece.
The canal scene is a masterpiece in part because there's none of that asinine action movie dialogue - "whoa! Look out! He's coming! Faster!"
@@indiatastic That is actually how I know to quit watching a movie and not waste my time.
If a movie uses those lines more then once in the first 15 minutes, hastala vista!
@@davidhenriksson285 😂 What a great rule 😂
I told you to remember the cop in part 1, who got his head smashed in by the terminator before stealing his vehicle. You stated, “at least he lived”.
That cop is the same guy/character who took pictures of the terminator in the mall. That’s why he had that shook look on his face! I couldn’t believe it when I discovered that.
Wow! Cool Trivia!!
Imagine how the SWAT team in the lobby of Cyberdyne felt. Figure the original Terminator's attack on the police station was used as an object lesson for senior SWAT teams, to evaluate what the 'person' did wrong, and what they could have done better. That SWAT team has likely heard about that attack, and had confidential after-battle analysis to review as well. So that SWAT team knows whoever did that attack was a professional carrying heavy weapons and likely wearing very durable body armor.
Then they get the call about the Cyberdyne attack and are told there are four people involved: Miles Dyson (not really a threat, try to capture), Sarah Connor (known for terroristic attacks on computer companies), her delinquent son (PR would look bad if the kid was killed), and what appears to be the same person from the 1984 attack. The images from the mall have been circulated, so the few who don't know about the attack are quickly briefed, plus the mall video is grabbed for analysis. Mall video shows similar fighting style, similar durability, etc, so whoever this is has already proven themselves capable of soloing 20-30 officers and winning.
The Lobby team is making sure nobody gets out that way, while the Penetration team has taken the stairs. Outside the building they hear a window break, then an officer yelling for a person in the window to drop their weapon, aso. Then they hear an obscenely fast firing gun go off, and their helicopter on overwatch zooms away while yelling about a minigun. For about a second they are still trying to understand what sort of hand-held weapon that means, then thy hear the minigun going off again. Lots of rounds are fired from somewhere a few floors above their head, and lots of sounds of bullets penetrating metal are heard. Eventually the minigun stops, and is then followed by several grenades going off. After a few seconds they hear their fellow officers engaging with submachine guns and shotguns, and not in careful controlled fire either. So right here their stress is really ramping up.
They hear the Penetration team engage initially, pause for a bit, then suddenly yell for everyone to fall back now. A few seconds later a big explosion goes off above their head. At the end of the hallway where they are, they hear an elevator ding. The Penetration team is taking the stairs, so they know that whoever is in the elevator is not one of their own. Deciding to gas everyone and ask questions later, they send two tear gas grenades towards whoever may be in the elevator.
They are focused on that direction, and then see someone walking out of the tear gas cloud. They are not reacting to the tear gas, they are rather large, ignoring commands, and resemble the guy from the mall. Their stress has hit its peak, and after this person ignores their commands the team leader gives the order to open fire.
It doesn't work. They are all firing, reloading, firing some more, and are barely slowing down this person. Some shots are starting to spark from his face, and the SWAT team is seeing metal under the skin. As he finally gets closer they realize that this is not a person, but it is too late. This thing pulls a pistol out of its waist and begins to shoot all of them in the knee. One officer, one shot, one knee. The last two are firing their pistols in an attempt to save their lives, but they see this thing pick up the tear gas launcher. They try to run but are both shot by the tear gas grenades, hurting them both.
After a couple minutes where the team is trying to pull itself together, a police van suddenly crashes into the building, and they have to jump for cover again. The two other people in the terrorist team jump inside the van and the whole group leaves.
After-battle analysis is even more amazing. In spite of the number of shots fired, the only death was Miles Dyson. All the minigun bullets fired, all the grenades fired, ad the only person who died is among the terrorists. The SWAT team (and the rest of the police present) knows that there could have been a massive body count, and the only reason that they all lived is because the terrorists were careful to not kill anyone.
The helicopter pilot still won't talk about why he jumped out of the helicopter to fall ~30 feet to the ground
Figure how much PTSD that SWAT team is going to have for the rest of their lives. Their careers have been ruined due to the knee shots, their training/equipment was utterly useless, and they know the only reason they are alive was because that thing chose to shoot them in their knees instead of in their foreheads. For the rest of their lives those SWAT team members are going to be waking up in cold sweats or screaming. And there is nothing that a psychologist can do to help them
@@toddkes5890 This,Exactly.
@@toddkes5890 Goddamn. After watching this movie so many times, it's easy to forget how horrifying a Terminator can be to someone unfamiliar.
Also, imagine the implications of the chopper pilot's silence. Since the chopper flew off and crashed far away, it's logical to assume it was hijacked mid-air, the pilot forced out at gunpoint. Maybe one of the officers below even saw the mysterious bike cop exiting the building and grabbing on. A freak situation to be sure, but certainly not impossible, and nothing counselling wouldn't help with.
But no matter what, he absolutely refuses to say what happened during those few seconds, probably risking his career by doing so. Either an experienced police pilot, who has likely worked the street in the past, was traumatised beyond repair by someone simply pointing a gun at him, or whatever happened was so unbelievable and terrifying that he would rather take it to his grave.
Imagine too, the aftermath. For months, investigators pore through evidence, crime scenes, forensics, injury reports. Sworn statements from SWAT veterans and dozens of regular cops all point to the same impossible things. A pair of gunmen that cannot be killed. An escaped mental patient with delusions of invulnerable killer machines from the future. A computer corporation that despite just losing millions of dollars in a terrorist attack, seems oddly tight-lipped when talking to investigators. Maybe what appears to be a crushed metal skeletal hand is recovered from a foundry machine. No answers, just more questions, and lots of disturbing implications.
They start looking backwards. The unstoppable man, the police station massacre, Sarah Connor, the John Doe calling himself Kyle Reese.
Then they get to the videotapes of Reese and Sarah's separate interrogations.
I love how seriously he took the kid asking for 5 bucks, my man was like you ain't hustling me for 5 dollars, I can't stop laughing at that.🤣🤣 0:18
28:00 -- You'd asked what kind of an explosion would do that.. Nuclear detonation about 1000 feet up. The pulse of light is intense enough to burn people's shadows onto concrete like at Hiroshima. Then you have the heat that immediately sets everything on fire followed by the blast wave.. Anything or person that survives the initial blast, the radiation kills.. ~ This is what makes nuclear weapons or even the thought of them, so horrifying...
"Based on the ending I wonder where they could have went after that"
Downhill. That's it.
Rise of the Machines is okay but it's so much worse than T2 it's hard to argue against saying that T2 is the best way to conclude the series... and Dark Fate is underrated by all the rabid angry fanboy nerds who hate on everything these days... but... yeah... you could see Terminator and T2 and never see another Terminator movie and you'd be all good.
The Sarah Conner Chronicles started off so-so but it was going somewhere interesting before it was canceled.
@@Sinvare there were good and bad things about the SCC. One of the main bad things, IMO, is that it broke Terminator canon where time travel was difficult and rare - and made it something that was so easy you could do it with a simple machine you assembled with spare parts. If that's so, then, the movies don't really make much sense.
I don't like the extended ending and I don't recall that "I need a vacation" line.
@@juice6521 the vacation line was definitely always there in every version. I've seen this movie like 200x so can vouch.
Still can't believe the foster mom is Vasquez and the mom with the two kids and she was telling them a story to help them sleep as the titanic was sinking.
She heard alien, though they meant illegal alien and signed up.
That's crazy. I had no idea. She's a super underrated actor, in the fact the characters she played are so different.
@@deathproofpony Fuck you, man!
Holy shit I have seen both those movies SO many times since they came out and I never even noticed that :o First thing I read on her imdb page is "Jenette Goldstein is a true chameleon. She is so effective as an actress, it is nearly impossible to recognize her from role to role". No kidding.
She was also a vampire in Near Dark
Dollar General Carl Winslow had me legitimately laughing.
I paused and exited full screen at that point so I could click the like button
Also when he said "Fuck you Four Eyes" to the kid that snitched on John lmao!
@@jongon0848 Yeah, that was hilarious too.
Love how you point out Cameron's choice of shots, lighting and such. So much thought, effort and skilful choices most people never notice. The guy is a grandmaster at his trade.
Love the subtle reference to Guns-n-Roses in the hallway scene, as he removed the 12-gauge from the box of flowers.
It's an old gangster movie reference. I think its untouchables, but it might be the godfather.
It's The Killing by Stanley Kubrick
@@fornikolas thanks. I forgot the name.
Well they had to get some shots in for the "You Could Be Mine" video, lol
@@Toast960 I love that they reuse the song in Terminator: Salvation when John plays it on a boombox to draw in a Terminator motorcycle so he can hotwire it.
The best laugh ive had in months is when you called that guy " dollar general carl winslow" damn i have been laughing for 10 mins.
Ngl that one killed me too! 🤣
"That's brand new car skin right there!"
Congrats, you have a new subscriber.
"How many of those kids on the playground got killed?"...all of them
I never thought about it before. But they said about 3 billion people died on judgment day. In 1997 there were about 273 million people in the US and a little under 6 billion people worldwide. Crazy.
@@keithsj10 everyone who helped to discover the power of the Atom and Nuclear Energy left this world knowing that they potentially helped destroy the world.
@@UltimateGamerCC
J Robert Oppenheimer, one of the "fathers" of the atomic bomb, said afterwards he was minded of a quote from the Bhagavad Gita: "I am become death, destroyer of worlds".
I would say the more humanity learns about reality, the easier it becomes for us to cause widespread suffering and death.
James Cameron said the first few takes they had to have Robert Patrick (T-1000) slow down cause he was actually catching up to the dirt bike
I think Patrick had a bad knee at the time as well, but just powered through it because he was so committed to doing his best.
@@peytonmac1131 I agree! Between that and learning how to slow his breathing after running, not blinking, and learning how to reload guns without looking really showed his commitment
For me, the two best parts of this movie were Sarah’s elevator scene and when the doctor got to see TWO terminators. I loved it.
There are so many fun ‘fun facts’ regarding how they settled upon Robert Patrick as the T 1000. He was so perfect for this role.
He's the reason I started watching Scorpion. He's come a long way - what a well deserved regular wage 😂🤗
I can’t believe this came out 30 years ago, seems like yesterday when I saw it in the theatre😎
30 years..... nope it was release last year, well that`s my excuse for staying young lololol :):)
I highly recommend "TRUE LIES" ! It's also from James Cameron and with Arnold !
Agreed,If he Likes the Arnold/Cameron Combo,then True Lies is a must.
James Cameron and Arnold=great movies.
One morning when I lived in Miami, taking the train (metrorail) to work we all saw a fighter plane hovering at the top of an office building as we approached downtown. I recognized it as a Harrier but still, along with everyone nearly had a heart attack until we got close enough to see that it was being suspended from a crane and the film crew as we passed by. Quite a memory!
Yessss true lies has some of my favorite one liners
@@InjuredRobot. I saw that shit too as a kid! And my dad took me out to watch them destroy the bridge to the keys when they did that. So fucking cool.
"COME the fuck ooon maaan", lol your reaction to this whole movie was priceless.
Imagine how amazing these effects were back when this came out, I mean hell it still holds up today
Sara Connor's journey is amazing. From naive waitress to mom to soldier to attempted murderer to someone willing to learn a different way.
The TV show is on Hulu now and it's better than ANY of the sequels after T2
@@The3rdGunman Sarah Connor Chronicles is the only worthy sequel imo.
That weird breathing is called Cheyne Stokes breathing as someone is dying. That, and also the death rattles, is often characteristic of someone's final moments. I watched a documentary of hospice care workers where they showed people actually dying. Many had that labored breathing before they took their last breath.
That's the first time I saw people dying portrayed so reastically in a movie. It unnerved me. That scene was awesome
Yeah, the actor can apparently pull off that kind of breathing because he was in a car accident and suffered a collapsed lung.
"Dollar General Carl Winslow" For the fucking win!!!!!
I'd have said he looks more like the Walmart Brand version of Niel Degrass Tyson.
29 years later, despite some out -dated CGI, this movie is still so good.
This movie is a great example of early CG effects working real well because they didn’t try to do more than the technology was capable of.
The part where he walks out of the fire took 6 months to render.
This movie used just about every visual effect technique in the book at the time. Stop motion, go motion, rear projection, bluescreen, 2D animation, 3D animation..
The best examples of early live-action/CGI animation (and this is obviously one of them; the original Jurassic Park is another) are the movies where you can tell they were honestly a little terrified of CGI. Because if the CGI animation looked like crap, the whole movie fails. They also tended to let makeup, animatronics, and traditional animation do a lot of the "heavy lifting", saving the CGI for anything that absolutely couldn't have been done otherwise.
@@wolphintv And before they went with CGI for Jurassic Park, they tested stop motion and go motion.
@@johnsensebe3153 as it should be for all films now and in the future, oh but no, hollywood like it cheap and the whole industry is under mediocrity's arrest now since a decade back.

Hell, they'd be pretty bad-ass now.
@@johnsensebe3153 unfortunately they are both pretty old now.
@@ericjanssen394 misogynist for creating incredible lead roles for females? These were real talented women back in the 80s and 90s, not like the box ticking female roles these days that can't even act.
@@ericjanssen394 is there anyone alive who wouldn't want to see a male rapist blown away? I can't comment on Avatar as fortunately I can't remember anything about that dreadful film! 😂
Linda Hamilton auditioned for the part of Captain Janeway in "Star Trek: Voyager." Imagine how great that would have been!
I love the part when Sarah is being recorded and she's getting angry, because it resembles the anger Kyle showed when he was trying to convince the policeman about the temrinator and shows how much she's become like Kyle knowing the terrible future that is to come for humanity.
The ending of this movie gets me every time. I'm not a full blown crier when it comes to movies, but the thumbs up and "maybe we can too" make me misty eyed for real. Not many movies can do that, and I gove extra credit to amhthing that can. Both movies are some of my favorite movies ever.
I cry every time. I just become so invested in the relationship the terminator and John established. Then he has to be destroyed. It’s so heartbreaking to see John crying and terminator saying that’s something he will never do. It’s such an emotional scene. I still cry and I’ve seen this movie 100+ times.
Since I haven't seen anyone mention it yet, the mall escape part where John's biking off had to be reshot a bunch of times while continuously moving where Robert Patrick started to run after him because he kept catching up to him.
He was a former Track Champion so yes he looks fast AF and he can run efficiently so it just dun look like he's even getting tired.
I love a great intensely delivered monologue. Sarah's recount of her nightmare while in the hospital was goosebump inducing. And yes, Linda Hamilton can ACT.
Fun fact, my dad was the stuntman for John so that scene where they're on the harley with the explosion in the back, that's him. This came out when I was in 7th grade, needless to say I felt like the coolest kid at my school. Arnold made a deal with my dad that he'd let the scout troop come to the set if we all got our physical fitness merit badges....the dude kept his word!
If you look carefully during the helicopter chase scene, when the T-1000 is reloading his weapon, he has a third arm to fly the copter.
what? i have to go back and check that
It's little imaginative touches like that that make this movie hold up so well.
i use to watch this movie quite a bit when i was younger but i rewatched the movie yesterday and i was shocked i didnt see that before lol
4 arms, I believe. 2 to fly the helicopter and 2 to reload the gun.
The nightmare scene is still one of the most accurate depictions of an atomic bomb ever put to film.
"Dollar General Carl Winslow"
Okay I lost it at this part.
I was so looking forward to your reaction of Sarah seeing Arnold for the first time when she's escaping, but you forgot that the last time she saw him he was a walking calamity with the only goal of her destruction and not a good guy. She was FREAKING out, and you were like, "Why you scared?" Lol
John's foster mom is the same actress who played Vasquez in Aliens.
John's foster dad is the same actor who played Gregory the leader of the Hilltop in The Walking Dead.
She was also the Irish mother in Titanic
@@goanna83 that's right. I forgot about that. Thanks for the reminder.
Holy shit, I never made that connection! She looks completely different in those two roles.
One of the best sequels ever made.
Man terminator 2 was my first R rated movie I've seen when I was a kid. My dad bought the VHS and looked at me and said "you wanna see the coolest thing you've ever seen?"
And man....... this was peak Hollywood blockbuster spectacle. It's like the perfect sequel and the greatest action movie ever (and all of the rest of the franchise is non canon, don't @ me lol). Theres so much I learned about movie making by researching this movie and it's amazing. Most of the stunts you saw were real and that's why the action scenes had more weight and impact. Its just........... pure awesomeness lol hasta la vista baby
I first seen this in 1991 when I was 11 or 12. I remember my dad coming home after seeing it with his friend and he was going on about how good it was to my mom. My parents were usually very strict when it came to R rated movies but my dad convinced my mom to let me see it. 😄 I was blown away by it at that age and it's still my favorite movie to this day.
Robert Patrick practised for hours how to fire a gun without flinching or closing his eyes.
He also didn't breath during takes when he was in full terminator mode
That must've been a lot of bullets used up during practice.
@@AMP3083official He also learned to pull the trigger crazy fast while keeping the gun steady. They originally tried giving him a modified 9mm Barretta pistol that could fire fully automatic, but it just went through the standard magazines too fast for them to really get a good take, so they gave him a standard semi-auto pistol.
"Agonal breathing" is what they call those shallow fast breaths. It means you're almost dead.
"Fun fact"
Hard to say it’s an underrated performance, because we all acknowledge that this is one of the greatest films ever made... but it was the first R rated movie I ever saw, and though I was old enough to get that it wasnt real, it felt fucking real. The guy who played Miles Dyson absolutely killed it. I will never not be able to replay “I don’t know how much longer I can hold this.” in my head with crystal clear recollection.
SO happy you finally got to this film! A prime example of a sequel that was so much better than the first!
Awesome movie right here! The chopper going under the bridges and stuff was some INSANE stunt work! This here mix of CGI and practical effects hits the mark perfectly, to the point where it all feels real and actually happening. Unbeaten to this day, in my opinion!
The one handed gun reload Arnie does is a tribute to John Wayne doing the same thing in True Grit.
They also had to specifically modify the gun for it to work; the loading lever had to be enlarged, and even then Arnold STILL almost broke his wrist performing it.
@@Ambaryerno From what I read, he nearly broke his fingers when he tried a flip cock on one of the unmodified guns.
"Come with me if you want to live" is the same line that Kyle Reese said to Sarah in the first movie. Perhaps something future John programmed into him so she would trust him? Crazy thought. Great reaction!
I think most ppl can’t process how awesome the climb onto the semi truck and the unloading of the machine gun into the T-1000 is. Glad Mell picked up on it.
37:33 "Why are you looking at it like it's the One Ring, man?!"
LMAO
Hank from Breaking Bad was the SWAT agent right before Miles triggered the explosion.
He's Tony in Total Recall too...HAHA
"You gotta lot of nerve showing your face around here Houser!"
Look who's talking
Yes, this was before he took a job at the D.E.A. after spending years in burn victim clinic 💥🤕
Same guy who kept Johnny Rico from quitting Mobile Infantry. "Would you like to know more?"
Me, literally any time I see Dean Norris: it's Hank!!!
For someone who had never seen the trailers, they would have assumed that Robert Patrick's character was another soldier from the future. The twist would have come when Arnold levels the shotgun and tells John to, "Get down."
A lot of people nowadays don't get what a massive twist this was for its time. The protector in the sequel is a Terminator? And he's the same make and model as the villain from the last film? And he shows just how far Terminator learning can go? It was a total mindblow for audiences, but ever since then, in almost every appearance he's made in the franchise, Arnold's Terminator has reprised the role of protector, making it harder to blow modern audiences' minds with this twist since pop culture osmosis kicked in long ago that Arnie Terminator is the good guy.
funny thing i showed this movie to my friend yesterday right after the first movie. her reaction was like "Whhhhhaaaaaat?!!!!" it was great lol
@@Thagesthoughts The OP said "For someone who had never seen the trailers" b/c not long after the premiere, trailers began spoiling that twist back then. Bad luck for those living in areas where the film hadn't been released yet. Hence, your claim about people nowadays is actually the opposite of what commenters usually say. Which is that new viewers are lucky to be surprised that Arnold is now the hero.
My kids were completely blown away when that twist happened. I'm so glad I didn't spoil anything for them
@@Thagesthoughts Wrong, the entire marketing for the movie was with Arnold as the good guy.
This movie was legend in 1991. I saw the original Terminator movie in 1984. I was 14 years old at the time. Terminator 2 was just legend in terms of special effects and plot lines. Not to mention the rock band 'Guns and Roses' doing one of the main songs of the film. Memories of 'Guns and Roses' theme song to Terminator 2 movie.
27:40 Most realistic depiction of the immediate effects of thermal radiation and blast wave of a nuclear weapon ever committed to film.
All scenes with the T-1000 imitating someone face to face were shot with twins; Linda Hamilton is a twin as is the red-headed police office with the coffee cup.
I bet that guy had a lot of fun taking out his twin brother 😄
😂😂😂 That joke putting her picture in the Nickleback music video made me laugh more than I should have.
I tell you MellVerse, I was jumping up and down at the end of T1 because you completely missed the significance of it - you did such a great job rectifying that in this video. Subscribed!!!😀👍
30 years old and still nothing can top this action flick. True badass.
The greatest action movie ever made and possibly the greatest sequel ever made as well.
I had to go back and rewatch after you said “dollar general Carl Winslow” ... I was on the floor laughing
Alright, time for some Terminator 2 fun facts
Robert Patrick, the guy who played the T-1000, got the part because during his audition, he sat down and stared at James Cameron without saying a word or blinking for over a minute. James Cameron said in an interview, "Lots of people auditioned, but he's the only one who scared me."
If you watch close, the Robert only blinks twice when not actively pretending to be human, once while firing a gun and once during an explosion. He also learned to shoot with both hands because a machine wouldn't be left or right handed. During the chase scene in the garage, he actually caught Edward Furlong, the kid who played John, because no one knew how fast he could actually run.
I remember seeing this in the theater on opening night. This was such a major blockbuster that the theater hired a magician to do a show during the movie! When they did the reel change, they just turned off everything and brought the lights up as if there was a technical problem. After the booing settled down a guy stood up, did a 5 minute magic show, and when he finished up, the movie went back on, the lights went back down, and everyone cheered. Still one of my most memorable movie experiences to date. The special effects in this were revolutionary!
Terminator 2 and Jurassic Park are the only movies that come to mind where the effects transcended their time period of film.
The first Matrix is another for me. Next techniques and tech were made for it.
James Cameron's The Abyss 1989 was groundbreaking CGI.
I simply think that Avatar in its generation so I'm not as impressed. Great film, but average to the tech.
@@Jameson_Visual_Arts_Studios actually, visual effects are pretty advanced since Charlie Chaplin after WWI. To set another examples of vfx ahead of its times… The War of the Worlds (1953), Forbidden Planet (1956), The Blob (1958 ), Mary Poppins (1964), Bedknobs & Broomsticks (1971), Superman/Star Wars' franchises (70s/80s), Poltergeist, etc.

Kindergarten Cop. One of Arnold's greatest underrated performances.
YES!! Why does nobody do reactions to that movie??
Last Action Hero too 😄
@@generic_sauce YES! NOBODY reacts to those!
Seriously? I think, it's pretty bad, as most Arnold's attempts at comedy at that time period. "True lies" is one notable exception.
@@gRomoZeka27 Arnold's terrible comedic acting is partly why it's so good.
