James Cameron said in this scene he wanted to make sure there were no ricochet sounds that you would normally hear in a movie shootout. Because the Terminator is such a skilled marksman, he hits everything he aims for, and he intends that none of the rounds ricochet otherwise they might cause a casualty and violate Connor's orders. Brilliant attention to detail
Also, what most people don’t entirely comprehend is that a rotary cannon like this is quite heavy, it likely needs battery packs which are also heavy, and its recoil is impossible to control for a human. Here we see on display, in such a cleverly subtle way by Cameron, that this character is undeniably not human at all. I really want to know how they filmed the shots where he is firing the gun.
yeah? I can hear ricochets around the 1:35 mark, and when firing at tarmac at an angle those shots aren't simply going to not ricochet just because it's a Terminator firing. and the idea that firing a grenade into a car ten feet from three running cops is something he could calculate as causing no casualties makes no sense either. I never questioned this scene, but the notion that the Terminator is _that_ precise, even as stated by Cameron, falls pretty flat
@@DaveDexterMusic It doesn't fall flat. Because you seem to forget that it's a machine. An intelligent machine. And this one in particular has it's learning capabilities enabled. So it very much can be that precise, read up on the wiki. T-800's can do a myriad of precise calculations.
Paused it on the part were hes looking at the police car at 414 and4.15 min mark and you can clearly see a kkk cross and man hands and feet on fire in front off the police car . This is just b4 the black guy kills himself
The way he did the 'click' gesture, proves how much he learned to interact with humans. The character development with the T-800 here is pretty amazing.
There is an amazing half a second clip of when John and Terminator are driving to get Sarah from Dyson's house. John tells him why he can't kill people (about an hour and 37 min into the film)... And Arnold does this 'whatever' look. That is amazing clip.
To each his own. I prefer the first one, in which he's clearly inhuman. In this movie they started with the 'comedy' that people bemoan so much in later movies of the franchise. Also, I could never stand Furlong. Sorry for his later addiction, and ruined career, but seriously I always thought he was the worst thing in this movie.
@@OrontesRM ...I mean, was he truly "inhuman" though? The T-800 was picking up cues as he continued his mission, and those cues were from the assholes he was encountering. This T-800 is picking up cues from those around him; mostly John. So, of course, that means he's going to probably be more snarky and sarcastic.
@@OrontesRM Terminators learn and replicate from what they witness in their environment. The first movie Terminator chased the main cast through the slums/scummy areas. He became more human every step he got closer up until he had his skin burned off.
Arnold, Cameron and Brad Fiedel at their finests. Without forgetting the geniuses of ILM in special effects and Stan Winston for special make-up effects creator... This movie characterizes the best team of all time !
What i give the film credit is for showing the Terminator being carefull not to gundown the officers and making sure to aim at the cars it like playing Life is strange making sure to make the right choice for Max to do and knowing what she be like if you are in her shoes
Thats the one thing I love about this movie so much. The whole premise of the movie is basically to prevent machines from eventually becoming self aware and destroying all of humanity who they view as their enemy, all while The T-800 almost becomes self aware itself, learning and appreciating the value of human life
My buddy hates this movie (rehash and this aspect are big factors). I think the hurdle of not killing humans was a great aspect of the movie. Those cops aren’t bad guys after all.
@Isuraeru Jones you have poor taste bud. If you think the new movies are better than this your nuts. Your Probably some loser at 25 living at home with mom and dad like 80 percent your age. Say ok boomer all you want lol
Keith Garton for years T2 was my favourite but, just recently has the true horror and GRIND of T1 really sank into my head... Arnold was absolutely terrifying as the t-800 in T1 and now I think that the first one is better
@@iamLODD yes I'm really do love the horror in the first terminator movie sadly this is this is what happened to the rest of the terminator films the horror is missing I have not seen dark fate It is really silly making the terminator having a family to human
Actually this is how he got the role. Originally he was supposed to be Kyle Reese, but at some point Arnold described to James Cameron his idea of how the terminator should act: be all mechanical like, no unnecessary movements, not blinking when shooting, just dedicating every confident action to one purpose - to kill the target. Cameron was very impressed, so they ditched O.J Simpson from the role of T 800 and Arnold got it.
1:47 I always love that subtile thunderstorm sound effect right after the mini-gun went empty. It accentuates the end of the "bullet rain" the cops had to endure a few seconds ago.
You are the 1st guy to mention this detail since 1991 lol. I didn't hear That Thunderstorm sound before the 30th viewing of the movie and of course the new version with HD sound. But wow that's so impressive and realist. Just a perfect masterpiece..
1:32 just look at Arnold's pose, no blinking slowly rotating his body while firing the minigun... A true Terminator! This movie was way ahead of it's time! More than 30 years have passed since they made this
also as a fun fact, the T-1000 didn't blink when shooting the pistol either, you can search it out. this was done by Robert Patrick after he trained hard not to blink while shooting just for the role as it would made sense for a robot not to if he was truly a robot.
When interviewing Robert Patrick for the role of the T-1000, he had to train to fire his gun without blinking. Especially for the hallway scene when he rapidly fires his pistol at Arnold.
Some films make far more money than this film ever did, I mean either of the final Avengers films made 4-5 times as much, but will they be looked at as fondly in 30 years as this film? Some films make money, some become timeless
Fun fact: the pilot in T2 is Charles A. Tamburro and he has flown helicopters in many other big action movies like: True Lies, Predator and First Blood. He also usually has a line or two in each film.
@@killbot86 also the Terminator is insanely strong and since he's just a computer with a machine body, one can imagine it will predict and counteract all the recoil through subtle but strong muscular movements.
@@Taeronai yes, that's exactly how you fire an automatic weapon. That's why people push the muzzle forward when the magazine runs out on a full auto weapon, the shooter was resisting the recoil of the weapon.
Arnold is a legend. He's got this ruthless & cold look on his face while using the gun. No other actor will ever be able to replicate what he's done in this franchise.
In part, because there are not many actors who can actually _lift this kind of gun._ If I remember correctly, on set, Arnold was the only person to be actually able to handle this thing, because for everybody else, it was simply too heavy.
@mediocre man Ya. The M134 weighs a cool 85 lbs. I'm sure a lot of people could hold it temporarily, but the real issues are recoil and the torque of the barrel rotation. Even though it had blanks with minimal recoil, it adds up (a single grain of sand is harmless but a truckload will overwhelm someone); the barrels turn with such torque even Arnold had a difficult time holding it level, so barrel rotation was slowed enough to make it possible. A monster of a weapon.
exactly. Every single shot in this scene is so well done as well and that's putting it mildly. Only Arnold could play the terminator, shoot a mini gun, a grenade launcher, not kill anyone, and walk away like the biggest badass.
I saw this movie on opening weekend in 1991. I was in high school. Theater was packed. The trailers were awesome, the TV spots got you pumped, the Guns ‘N Roses video was on heavy rotation on MTV and it gave you extra clips you didn’t see in the trailers or the TV spots. And even with that many sneak peeks, the movie exceeded everyone’s expectations: there were still MORE surprises in store, it was unpredictable, terrifying (the nuclear scene), unexpectedly character-driven and emotional, humorous, thought-provoking, and it was the biggest-budget film at that time. T2 was packed with innovation. It didn’t look like any film that came before it, it didn’t sound like any film that came before it, and all of the money was on the screen. It was so advanced-feeling, so high-tech and so state-of-the-art that I felt like I was watching a new kind of movie. I remember the audience being generally silent whenever they saw the T-1000 morph on-screen: I think they were surprised by how good it all looked. Those T-1000 morphs were really new at that time, going further than what was done in “The Abyss,” and it was so innovative that Michael Jackson made sure morphing was used for his “Black or White” video. By my recollection, T2 was the number one movie at the box office for at least four weekends. It was and continues to be in a class of its own as a bonafide game-changing motion picture.
Better writing, better story, better acting, better music, better atmosphere, better everything. A lost wisdom that moviemakes from hollywood forgot long ago.
You're not wrong, but beware of rose-tinted glasses. There were lots of stinker-films from that era also. We only ever remember the good ones. Or for T2, the really exceptional ones.
@@DrownedInExile Yeah, Hollywood would churn out hundreds of shitty action films and comedies annually. Looking back, weren’t like 4/5 Chuck Norris films just trash?
I love how realistic this scene is when the cars get shot at they don’t just explode like you see in every movie. The only time they exploded is when the T800 shot a grenade at them from the grenade launcher
Johnny yeah, the regular explosion, but it is far different when it hits a car with a tank of gas in it. Kind of like how lighting a match is nothing, lighting a match next to a gas pump is.
Seeing this scene just made me think how tough, skilled, brave and badass the future resistance soldiers were to fight army's of terminators and support machines in open war. The future resistance fighters under John Connor must be truly amazing people, it's a shame we never had a proper movie about them, like the future scenes in T1 and T2.
@@RMJ1984 This makes the future resistance fighters even more amazing people, and a testament to John Connors leadership and abilities. Wish they made a proper film about them.
@@m.e.c.hn.e.s.t4757 I hated it because it was a grimy, oversaturated Transformers movie with Christian Bale being angry for 100 minutes with bad supporting actors and it turns out SkyNet was Helena Bonham Carter. That last bit wasn't a joke
@@darnit1944 among the last of the great classic blockbusters that started all the way back with Jaws in ‘75. I can’t really think of any recent big films in the last 10-20 years that were extremely well-received and have stood the test of time.
@@SuperSayinSolidSnek @Chase Davidson Joke all you want, but there's zero point to making a comment that just quotes the video. Why waste space like that?
@2:10 just seeing how the Terminator shows mercy, keeps his promise to John and shows how he keeps the value of human life with a casualty number of 0.0 always brings a sobering smile to myself.
Indeed. And how he learns and improves. Early on in t2 he was ok with killing and then wounding to still comply. But he had perfected his compliance by this scene.
@@nobytes2 not really..they have good movies with good stories but they usually go unnoticed and unappreciated. Audience gets thrilled by CGI and animation and that makes it to the top
@@nakuljohri1 agreed. Cameron used Effects where needed, not to drive the story. The story was good enough in itself. nowadays you get zero plot/or rehash plot with tonnes of CGI . i'm going to sound old saying this but movies were better back then.
One of the greatest scenes in film history. From the suspenseful music, to the attention of detail with the police cars and tree being sawed away from the rate of fire in sync from the mini-gun. And his Thumper showing the grenade going through the driver window before exploding. Plus it just being Arnold. 10/10
agreed. I always loved that detail with the grenade going through the window before detonating - so minute and seemingly unnecessary, but they went that extra mile.
blooper, actually. and they swapped the firing and loading sounds. it actually goes 'foomp' when fired, and the other when loaded. i honestly prefer the swap, gives the gun character, imo~
I love that panning shot at 1:34, the terminator standing in the window and all you see is the muzzle flash, almost like its herding the people with the minigun. It shows you the accuracy and calculation of a terminator, but still controlled enough to fulfil his promise not to kill anyone.
Thank you for pointing this out. I have seen this movie at least 20 times. Not once did I ever look up at the window and see him standing there. My eyes were always focused on the bullet effects closer to the camera. That was awesome seeing him just standing there with the mini gun!! I also realized that I didn't even see it the first time I watched this clip. I saw your comment and clicked your time stamp to see it. Thanks!
I think it worked out better going the non lethal route. We know he’s capable of it, but here they give you something different yet equally thrilling. First you saw his devastation and now you witness his precision & accuracy. This scene is such a great contrast to the police encounter in the previous film!
to be able to go non-lethal, when it's all too easy to go lethal... that shows how powerful T-800 really is. saving people (and still succeeding the mission) is always the stronger's way. Just wantonly killing people is for the weaker.
Fun fact, the smile he gives when he says "trust me" is the exact same one he makes when first picks up the minigun, and John says "it's definitively you".
The fact that they used Float to represent human casualties as a variable bothers me as a programmer. They could have saved some memory by using Integer.
@@ryan-de5wl a lot. Miniguns are belt fed, meaning that it basically won't run out of ammo if you have essentially unlimited access to ammo(because the T-800 doesn't have to worry about weight)
ryan an unrealistic amount lol based on on that duffel he’s carrying couldn’t have had more than a couple thousand rounds at most that mini gun would’ve burned through that ammo in less than a minute lmao but it wouldn’t be nearly as entertaining if it ran out that fast
Just watched this the other day. Been about 15 years since the last time. This film is a true masterpiece. The cinematography, the audio engineering, character development........Definitely one of the top 10 films ever made.
I'll never get tired of this MOVIE. Watched it countless times since childhood and each part still fees as fresh, timeless and powerful as the first viewing. It never gets old. EVER.
The M79 grenade launcher was nicknamed the "bloop tube" because of the sound it made upon loading, and I really like that Cameron made sure that iconic sound made it into the movie.
@Pete Haskell Because of the measures Arnie takes to practice EXTREME SOCIAL DISTANCING. We all need to be resourceful. Not to the extreme of carrying gatling guns; but broomsticks, crow bars, anything to keep people 6-feet away while we go on about our daily lives.
@@IceColdProfessional Karens be doing that kind of shit before quarantine even began. They go wilder than mad dog if you move 1mm closer to them despite being way more than 6 feet away.
I saw it for the first time ever in theaters in 2018 in Dolby Cinema 3D. I had seen this movie hundreds of times before that one time in theaters, and this movie STILL blew me away. The opening 5 minutes in 3D was terrifying, literally horror. And the second half of the film was incredibly intense, I was holding onto my seat. And I had seen this movie hundreds of times before. It was an entirely new experience in the theater. 12/10 experience.
Honestly, I don’t know what they were thinking hiding behind a car when they would’ve saw the minigun tear everything up and the first round from the grenade launcher.
When you realize that the T-800 saying “Trust me” wasn’t referring to him needed to kill the policemen in order for them to survive, it was referring to how he was never actually gonna kill them
Never before had an R-rated film received such a massive mainstream push. I remember seeing commercials everywhere, ads inside magazines, the action figures that came just a few months later, the video games etc. The release of this movie was an all-out cultural event, that has never been truly repeated.
Most impressive thing about the T-800 in this movie unlike the first movie that he only kills T-1000. He spared the lives of many considering he's a cyborg assassin thanks to young John Conner. This movie was simply ahead of its time. James Cameron is a brilliant mind and the actors from Edward Furlong to Joe Morton to the Great Arnold Schwarzenegger couldn't have done any better. A true masterpiece in every sense of the word.
It's incredible how well this movie has aged. Special effects and VFX are in a whole different level these days - yet, this still looks so smooth around the edges. For something made over 3 decades ago, that's incredible!
It’s because these days, to a large extent, Hollywood puts the effects and/or the message of the movie first, before the story. T2 is a wholly crafted masterpiece where every component about every scene is carefully provisioned to enrapture audience’s attention and emotions from start to finish. Everything from acting, the musical score from Brad Fiedel, filmography. A polished piece of art where they use CGI, yes, but exclusively ONLY in areas where it makes sense and even then, less is more when they apply it. Where these days most movies feel like they came off a CGI-charged assembly line with a base template that they’re started from with a couple minor changes here there. Bam. Call it a movie and watch people aimlessly go to the movies to watch the same carbon copy movie with the same tired effects.
The difference is that most of what you see on screen in modern movies is either full CGI or partial, in older movies it's actual real things that look real because they are.
James Cameron accomplished several of the effects using an old-fashioned technique lost to time. Having it actually happen. That truck driving through the bridge. The hospital explosion. The T-1000 imitating people (identical twins, baby!)
I always come back to this movie to get some feelings fired up in my body. Shivers, goosebumps, tears.. you name it. This movie will go down in history as one of the best of any genre. Absolute masterpiece.
The jungle mowing scene in Predator is a strong competitor for that title. Needless to say, it also involved Arnold and a man-portable minigun, so one cannot be too critical.
You forgot PREDATOR (80s), where Blaine is killed by predator and all the members of the group started firing towards jungle for a good certain amount of time.....🔫
The attention to detail in this scene is excellent, when he fires the second grenade you see the cop car window shatter before it detonates, one of the best action scenes in history, I believe the government is working on terminators, we already have drones lol
@ARKANGEL I know it’s not a live round ya fanny I’m saying it adds to the realism when the window shatters, grenades don’t blow up with fireballs ya madman
I wish I knew what the police were thinking as this unfolded. The really amazing thing is that the police expect human responses from what they think is another human, but the machines behaviour is interpreted as so extreme, reckless and beyond text book that it terrifies them. "We're all getting in position by our squad cars, when suddenly a big desk or somethin' is thrown through one of the upper windows. We looked up to see this guy, wearing all black walk up to the open space, holding what we later realised was a fuckin' minigun. Chopper ordered him to drop the weapon on the megaphone, but the next second that absolutely fuckin' insane mad man started firing on us. That sound... I've never heard it anything like it. As soon as that gun opened up it was like some horrible roar that would make any man shit himself. Then the sound of the car over to my right getting torn to pieces, like fabric. I don't know how those guys made it out of there, but that car was totalled in two seconds. Then suddenly it stops, and I realise he's aiming at us. My God, I was so sure I was gonna die. I huddled over with my arms over my head, and all I could hear were my ear drums being shattered, and the vibration rattlin' my whole body. When we realised we were still alive, we just fuckin' ran. We ran so hard, and that fucker still shot at us. I've never been so terrified in my life. We all managed to get over to this shingle on the edge of the car park, and all I could hear was that minigun continue to tear the shit out of our squad cars. Can you believe none of us are firing back? Everyone's just runnin' for cover while that maniac is destroying the entire departments fleet. I saw my car and it looked like the whole roof had been cut off by a giant hacksaw. I'm lookin' around for my dead buddies, but I can't see anyone. Everyone is still alive... ...How the fuck did that happen?? I'm trying to keep my head in the game when there's this huge explosion. I look over and the fucker just launched some explosive into another car, and then another... And we're all just watching him. None of us can believe what's happening. None of us would ever have the balls to just stand there in the open and attack a whole police department. Next thing I hear is Sergeant yell at us to fire, and he starts unloading his MP5 into the window. Then the whole department opens up on that spot. ...I swear I'm just watching the guy turn around like nothin's happened, and he's just strollin' away from the window like some fuckin' God in the middle of a fire storm."
The police in this scene are very dumb to be honest, if you want an idea of what the police would really think if they came across a situation like this you should look up the north Hollywood bank robbery, take that and multiply it by say 10 and you got yourself a good idea.
@Fluke Oh of course not, but the cops wouldn't just stay there and shoot their tiny pistols and their SMGs, no they would go back and get better guns, even ARs that some some of them have would be better.
T2 always had an air of hope running through the darkness. Plus the 90's were a golden age for hollywood. Full of great movies and big stars. I find myself more and more wanting to rewatch a movie i have seen 100 times then the crap they push now thats just my opinion but me and my wife used to LOVE going to the movies we would go atleast once a month when stuff was worth watching. I am not going to spend 40 on tickets and 30 at concessions to be preached to by hollywood on their soapbox. I watch movies to escape the S***show the world is becoming not to be lectured to like they are my mom.
His completely blank stare and the way his pivots with his hips and has his exact targets in mind. This is movie scene gold. Film schools should use this scene to teach how to build suspense and action. The soundtrack and sound effects in this scene are absolutely spot on as well.
sad to say but nowadays abortion folks think fetuses are not people. It was intended as coming from a machine's perspective as digital precision 10x more than needed. Decimals are 1/10th, therefore something that is accurate to 0.10 is sufficiently precise to calculate whole numbers, assuming calibration is proper. if an abortion programmer programmed terminators they might be stupid and say unborn children are less than one whole human being. They are wrong. as for the "half dead" part of the comment, that is truely deep thinking. Each person is living a measure of their total eternal potential in mortality. People can definately be quantified in terms of morals and spiritual health less than whole numbers, if one compares that relative to physical. folks can be sad and feeling 4 out of 10 emotionally. Or someone could be perceived as morally bankrupt and like 1/10 bottom of the barrel of their life. This could be represented by color in terms relative to the whole number. so 0.0 green means no casualties average is happy 0.0 red means no casualties average is under distress. just my contribution.
It's small detail they put in to emphasize that he is a machine, and not human. Machines dont see the difference, and simply outputs anything in decimals. In this case the decimal will always be 0.
@@BrianJ. Agree however it also refers to precision. 0:41 :) Going out with promise in mind 2:10 Confirmation of his promise kept My older comment might have been deleted by youtube. It mentioned unborn children being whole numbers but other individuals in this world think that abortion & etc... is anything less than whole. In that sense, this machine is debatably more humanistic and empathetic in this scene than those who seek to justify the slaughter of the unborn.
One of the best exchanges in action movie history: "You in the window, drop your weapon and place your hands on top of your head." *Minigun starts firing* "Holy shit!"
The helicopter pilot immediately turned tail and fled the scene after realizing he would’ve been downed had he stayed for that exchange. Chucklesome bit in the midst of all this intense action.
This movie was right on the edge of the CGI transition. This movie amongst many others was released at the peak of this era utilizing this kind of film production. It is one of the last of very raw visual effects.
It got four, the only Terminator film to be nominated for Oscars. It won Visual Effects, Sound Effects Editing, Sound and Make-Up. It was nominated for two others; Cinematography and Film Editing but lost them both to JFK. Additionally Linda Hamilton was campaigned for a nomination for Best Actress but was unsuccessful
@@reptongeek It deserved the big awards, Best Director, Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress. But the Academy never gives those awards to Sci fi action movies.
@@reptongeek I forgot that came out the same year. Fine, the acting awards should have gone to that but Best Picture and Best Director should have gone to T2.
This is where the T-800 starts to really show some human ticks. Whoever thought that Arnold Schwarzenegger isn't a great actor could probably stand to review this scene. It's a Masters class in dynamic subtext.

Best terminator in history
Terminator 1 is the best this movie did not have the horror in it like the first the model 101 was not bad enough
Keith Garton for years T2 was my favourite but, just recently has the true horror and GRIND of T1 really sank into my head... Arnold was absolutely terrifying as the t-800 in T1 and now I think that the first one is better
@@iamLODD yes I'm really do love the horror in the first terminator movie sadly this is this is what happened to the rest of the terminator films the horror is missing I have not seen dark fate It is really silly making the terminator having a family to human
Keith Garton yeah if im being honest I have only watched T1 and T2 😂 i have only heard bad things about the new movies
Uncle Bob Terminator ;^;
T1 and T2 will always hold a special place in my heart. Everything is so well done and you enjoy everyone's performance. 10 out of 10. Go Arnold!
Police chief: So, you're telling me that one guy destroyed our entire fleet of cars?
Random cop: Sir, he had the high ground.
And a minigun.
And a grenade launcher
And he's bulletproof
Obi-wan: Understandable.
ITS OVER!!! I HAVE THE HIGH GROUND!!!
The way Arnold moves so robotically is perfect.
He played the part perfectly.
@Tyrone Taylor Just like Robert Patrick born to play the T-1000.
Actually this is how he got the role. Originally he was supposed to be Kyle Reese, but at some point Arnold described to James Cameron his idea of how the terminator should act: be all mechanical like, no unnecessary movements, not blinking when shooting, just dedicating every confident action to one purpose - to kill the target. Cameron was very impressed, so they ditched O.J Simpson from the role of T 800 and Arnold got it.
@@danskyl7279 did you know after the gun fight in the arcade Robert Patrick never blinks to portray the liquid metal robot doesn't react to gunfire?
I know! People have just got too used to him being "The Terminator" they actually forget and overlook that it was a fantastic acting performance
Hard to believe this was made all the way back in 1991. It's still brilliant today.
So much better than the crap we have to watch today.
It’s a legendary piece of cinema. This is why sequels to this film fail repeatedly. Nearly Impossible to do better or match caliber of content

@@BosleyBeats you can't beat the originals
1:47 I always love that subtile thunderstorm sound effect right after the mini-gun went empty. It accentuates the end of the "bullet rain" the cops had to endure a few seconds ago.
I always thought that was from the copter...
You are the 1st guy to mention this detail since 1991 lol.
I didn't hear That Thunderstorm sound before the 30th viewing of the movie and of course the new version with HD sound. But wow that's so impressive and realist.
Just a perfect masterpiece..
1:32 just look at Arnold's pose, no blinking slowly rotating his body while firing the minigun...
A true Terminator!
This movie was way ahead of it's time!
More than 30 years have passed since they made this
Mimics robotic movement & upper body control. Great observation by you !
also as a fun fact, the T-1000 didn't blink when shooting the pistol either, you can search it out. this was done by Robert Patrick after he trained hard not to blink while shooting just for the role as it would made sense for a robot not to if he was truly a robot.
That's a damn mini gun always loved that bit.
When interviewing Robert Patrick for the role of the T-1000, he had to train to fire his gun without blinking. Especially for the hallway scene when he rapidly fires his pistol at Arnold.
Some films make far more money than this film ever did, I mean either of the final Avengers films made 4-5 times as much, but will they be looked at as fondly in 30 years as this film? Some films make money, some become timeless
Imagine if it were:
T-101: "I'll take care of the police."
John: "Hey wait! You swore!"
T-101: "I lied."
Or T-101 shoots all the cops in the feet or hands.

Fun fact: the pilot in T2 is Charles A. Tamburro and he has flown helicopters in many other big action movies like: True Lies, Predator and First Blood. He also usually has a line or two in each film.
@@coolcat6303I thought the pilot sounded like Tom Arnold from True lies.
I love how the mini-gun wasn't overly loud and the cars didn't explode simply coz they got shot....It adds to the subtlety and realism.....
Idk they could've added more recoil to make it look more realistic
@@redpanda2335 I didn't think that there would be much recoil considering the way a mini-gun operates...
@@killbot86 also the Terminator is insanely strong and since he's just a computer with a machine body, one can imagine it will predict and counteract all the recoil through subtle but strong muscular movements.
@@killbot86 mini gun has insane recoil which is why it's always vehicle mounted in reality.
@@Taeronai yes, that's exactly how you fire an automatic weapon. That's why people push the muzzle forward when the magazine runs out on a full auto weapon, the shooter was resisting the recoil of the weapon.
Arnold is a legend. He's got this ruthless & cold look on his face while using the gun. No other actor will ever be able to replicate what he's done in this franchise.
In part, because there are not many actors who can actually _lift this kind of gun._ If I remember correctly, on set, Arnold was the only person to be actually able to handle this thing, because for everybody else, it was simply too heavy.
@mediocre man
Ya. The M134 weighs a cool 85 lbs. I'm sure a lot of people could hold it temporarily, but the real issues are recoil and the torque of the barrel rotation. Even though it had blanks with minimal recoil, it adds up (a single grain of sand is harmless but a truckload will overwhelm someone); the barrels turn with such torque even Arnold had a difficult time holding it level, so barrel rotation was slowed enough to make it possible. A monster of a weapon.
@@THall-vi8cp - fitting for Arnold in his prime 😃
It is possible
Nothing gets in between the god given mission.
James Cameron makes a shootout look badass and epic and yet he doesn’t have anyone shot just shows you how great of a director he truly is…
exactly. Every single shot in this scene is so well done as well and that's putting it mildly. Only Arnold could play the terminator, shoot a mini gun, a grenade launcher, not kill anyone, and walk away like the biggest badass.
Damn true
True!
Unfortunately Avatar degraded him down a peg. Which is what led us to Terminator Genisys.
Up against tarantino and Michael Mann
I saw this movie on opening weekend in 1991. I was in high school. Theater was packed. The trailers were awesome, the TV spots got you pumped, the Guns ‘N Roses video was on heavy rotation on MTV and it gave you extra clips you didn’t see in the trailers or the TV spots. And even with that many sneak peeks, the movie exceeded everyone’s expectations: there were still MORE surprises in store, it was unpredictable, terrifying (the nuclear scene), unexpectedly character-driven and emotional, humorous, thought-provoking, and it was the biggest-budget film at that time. T2 was packed with innovation. It didn’t look like any film that came before it, it didn’t sound like any film that came before it, and all of the money was on the screen. It was so advanced-feeling, so high-tech and so state-of-the-art that I felt like I was watching a new kind of movie. I remember the audience being generally silent whenever they saw the T-1000 morph on-screen: I think they were surprised by how good it all looked. Those T-1000 morphs were really new at that time, going further than what was done in “The Abyss,” and it was so innovative that Michael Jackson made sure morphing was used for his “Black or White” video. By my recollection, T2 was the number one movie at the box office for at least four weekends. It was and continues to be in a class of its own as a bonafide game-changing motion picture.
Still looks like a film that could've easily been made in the past ten years. That's how ahead of the game this one was.
It's simply the best movie ever made.
Better writing, better story, better acting, better music, better atmosphere, better everything. A lost wisdom that moviemakes from hollywood forgot long ago.
You're not wrong, but beware of rose-tinted glasses. There were lots of stinker-films from that era also. We only ever remember the good ones. Or for T2, the really exceptional ones.

It's a masterpiece. They don't make film's like this anymore.
Yup. It aged well.
They didn't have graphics in them days, they had something called "Special Effects".
although T-1000 is CGI.
I love how realistic this scene is when the cars get shot at they don’t just explode like you see in every movie. The only time they exploded is when the T800 shot a grenade at them from the grenade launcher
Ryan S you even see the glass break before the explosion at 2:02
If you knew how grenade launchers worked you would know how unrealistic those explosions are lol
Detail on that with the squibs and pyro looks amazing
@@RaZeRbLaDeZ forgive them they aren't military experts lol
Johnny yeah, the regular explosion, but it is far different when it hits a car with a tank of gas in it.
Kind of like how lighting a match is nothing, lighting a match next to a gas pump is.
I love how the sound design, even the music, has this cold metallic feel to it.
Seeing this scene just made me think how tough, skilled, brave and badass the future resistance soldiers were to fight army's of terminators and support machines in open war. The future resistance fighters under John Connor must be truly amazing people, it's a shame we never had a proper movie about them, like the future scenes in T1 and T2.
The amount of carnage and destruction one T800 can do. He could have killed every single cop without any real effort.
@@RMJ1984 This makes the future resistance fighters even more amazing people, and a testament to John Connors leadership and abilities. Wish they made a proper film about them.

Indeed. And how he learns and improves. Early on in t2 he was ok with killing and then wounding to still comply. But he had perfected his compliance by this scene.
But it leaves a bitter taste. Just how easy such a machine could make that number 100% fatality instead.

@@nobytes2 not really..they have good movies with good stories but they usually go unnoticed and unappreciated. Audience gets thrilled by CGI and animation and that makes it to the top
@@nakuljohri1 agreed. Cameron used Effects where needed, not to drive the story. The story was good enough in itself. nowadays you get zero plot/or rehash plot with tonnes of CGI . i'm going to sound old saying this but movies were better back then.
No matter how many years go by , this movie will always seem like a new theatrical release. Amazing production.
One of the greatest scenes in film history. From the suspenseful music, to the attention of detail with the police cars and tree being sawed away from the rate of fire in sync from the mini-gun. And his Thumper showing the grenade going through the driver window before exploding. Plus it just being Arnold. 10/10
'theres no recoil tho!'
That endoskeleton would be like firing from a steel bench, there's be nearly no shown recoil
agreed. I always loved that detail with the grenade going through the window before detonating - so minute and seemingly unnecessary, but they went that extra mile.
blooper, actually. and they swapped the firing and loading sounds. it actually goes 'foomp' when fired, and the other when loaded. i honestly prefer the swap, gives the gun character, imo~

I love that panning shot at 1:34, the terminator standing in the window and all you see is the muzzle flash, almost like its herding the people with the minigun. It shows you the accuracy and calculation of a terminator, but still controlled enough to fulfil his promise not to kill anyone.
Thank you for pointing this out. I have seen this movie at least 20 times. Not once did I ever look up at the window and see him standing there. My eyes were always focused on the bullet effects closer to the camera. That was awesome seeing him just standing there with the mini gun!!

I dont know why but 2:01 I have always loved this shot! the real delay of the projectile hitting and breaking the window!
I think it worked out better going the non lethal route. We know he’s capable of it, but here they give you something different yet equally thrilling. First you saw his devastation and now you witness his precision & accuracy.
This scene is such a great contrast to the police encounter in the previous film!
"Human Casualties: 0.0"
Notice how Arnie gives the cops a slight head start before firing at 2:02!
to be able to go non-lethal, when it's all too easy to go lethal... that shows how powerful T-800 really is.
saving people (and still succeeding the mission) is always the stronger's way. Just wantonly killing people is for the weaker.
The t-800 isn’t accurate. If it was then Sarah and Kyle would’ve been dead.
Watched this movie yesterday again. I never get tired, it’s a masterpiece. Ahead of its time. And this song “Trust me” by Brad Fiedel is magical ❤

Fun fact, the smile he gives when he says "trust me" is the exact same one he makes when first picks up the minigun, and John says "it's definitively you".

Can confirm; as a 12 year old back then it's almost impossible to describe how big T2 was.
Most impressive thing about the T-800 in this movie unlike the first movie that he only kills T-1000. He spared the lives of many considering he's a cyborg assassin thanks to young John Conner. This movie was simply ahead of its time. James Cameron is a brilliant mind and the actors from Edward Furlong to Joe Morton to the Great Arnold Schwarzenegger couldn't have done any better. A true masterpiece in every sense of the word.
It's incredible how well this movie has aged. Special effects and VFX are in a whole different level these days - yet, this still looks so smooth around the edges. For something made over 3 decades ago, that's incredible!
ruclips.net/user/shorts-vtUupyC2bg?feature=shareV6
That is the difference between James Cameron and most others; the attention to detail was sacrosanct in his films.
It’s because these days, to a large extent, Hollywood puts the effects and/or the message of the movie first, before the story. T2 is a wholly crafted masterpiece where every component about every scene is carefully provisioned to enrapture audience’s attention and emotions from start to finish. Everything from acting, the musical score from Brad Fiedel, filmography. A polished piece of art where they use CGI, yes, but exclusively ONLY in areas where it makes sense and even then, less is more when they apply it. Where these days most movies feel like they came off a CGI-charged assembly line with a base template that they’re started from with a couple minor changes here there. Bam. Call it a movie and watch people aimlessly go to the movies to watch the same carbon copy movie with the same tired effects.
The difference is that most of what you see on screen in modern movies is either full CGI or partial, in older movies it's actual real things that look real because they are.
James Cameron accomplished several of the effects using an old-fashioned technique lost to time.
Having it actually happen.
That truck driving through the bridge.
The hospital explosion.
The T-1000 imitating people (identical twins, baby!)
I always come back to this movie to get some feelings fired up in my body. Shivers, goosebumps, tears.. you name it. This movie will go down in history as one of the best of any genre. Absolute masterpiece.
THE MOST BAD ASS MOMENT IN CINEMA HISTORY.
Amen!
The jungle mowing scene in Predator is a strong competitor for that title. Needless to say, it also involved Arnold and a man-portable minigun, so one cannot be too critical.
True
And you know why...they got guns done right, for once
You forgot PREDATOR (80s), where Blaine is killed by predator and all the members of the group started firing towards jungle for a good certain amount of time.....🔫
The way Arnold casually walks away after unleashing hell is iconic and captures the laser focus of a Machine perfectly

I huddled over with my arms over my head, and all I could hear were my ear drums being shattered, and the vibration rattlin' my whole body. When we realised we were still alive, we just fuckin' ran. We ran so hard, and that fucker still shot at us. I've never been so terrified in my life. We all managed to get over to this shingle on the edge of the car park, and all I could hear was that minigun continue to tear the shit out of our squad cars.
Can you believe none of us are firing back? Everyone's just runnin' for cover while that maniac is destroying the entire departments fleet. I saw my car and it looked like the whole roof had been cut off by a giant hacksaw. I'm lookin' around for my dead buddies, but I can't see anyone. Everyone is still alive... ...How the fuck did that happen??
I'm trying to keep my head in the game when there's this huge explosion. I look over and the fucker just launched some explosive into another car, and then another... And we're all just watching him. None of us can believe what's happening. None of us would ever have the balls to just stand there in the open and attack a whole police department.
Next thing I hear is Sergeant yell at us to fire, and he starts unloading his MP5 into the window. Then the whole department opens up on that spot.
...I swear I'm just watching the guy turn around like nothin's happened, and he's just strollin' away from the window like some fuckin' God in the middle of a fire storm."
that is an excellent description.
Now do a write up on the swat team, the police were at a distance but the swat team were right up close to the temrinator
The police in this scene are very dumb to be honest, if you want an idea of what the police would really think if they came across a situation like this you should look up the north Hollywood bank robbery, take that and multiply it by say 10 and you got yourself a good idea.
@Fluke Oh of course not, but the cops wouldn't just stay there and shoot their tiny pistols and their SMGs, no they would go back and get better guns, even ARs that some some of them have would be better.
You want to know what they were thinking, ill tell you.
"Being me my brown pants"
The fact that minigun did not explode any cars mean it’s the better than morden movies
I just realised that the t800 did that click sound after he said said “Remote control” at 0:20...
LOL
yes! by the end of t2 hes acting weirdly human, moreso than any terminator in subsequent films. check the smile when he says "trust me"
Aww that's actually kinda cute LOL He's learning! And good eye you have, I wonder how many people have missed that little detail for *years*
@@yunikage Which would have made so much more sense had they left in the "Flip the Switch" deleted scene...
I am rewatching this moment and can’t sleep
Arnold deserves the Presidential Medal of Freedom for this scene alone!
Or as HHH said at the WWE hall of Fame Arnold has slaughtered millions of people in his movies and no one got hurt. That s a hell of a worker!!!😂😅
You know your life has been a fucked up ride when terminator 2 is your feel good movie.
😂😂😂
And yet here we are.
lol ikr
T2 always had an air of hope running through the darkness. Plus the 90's were a golden age for hollywood. Full of great movies and big stars. I find myself more and more wanting to rewatch a movie i have seen 100 times then the crap they push now thats just my opinion but me and my wife used to LOVE going to the movies we would go atleast once a month when stuff was worth watching. I am not going to spend 40 on tickets and 30 at concessions to be preached to by hollywood on their soapbox. I watch movies to escape the S***show the world is becoming not to be lectured to like they are my mom.
His completely blank stare and the way his pivots with his hips and has his exact targets in mind. This is movie scene gold. Film schools should use this scene to teach how to build suspense and action. The soundtrack and sound effects in this scene are absolutely spot on as well.
Cops: “damn that guy has bad aim”
Hahahah 😂😂😂
Also cops: Should we shoot back? Hmm... nah, let him run out of ammo first.
@@DrakeOola if i was the cop,i probably do that
Ha😂
😂😂👏👏
0:48 Always loved that musical score, the moment he walks infront of the camera.😎
Thank you James Cameron for one of the best cinematic adventures of my lifetime
Still amazes me how good the production was of this movie today, let alone in the 90s
I love how his casualty counter has a decimal, like he can count if someone is half dead
Limb shots lol
@@Banthisyoutube-zs6sx Makes sense
sad to say but nowadays abortion folks think fetuses are not people.
It was intended as coming from a machine's perspective as digital precision 10x more than needed. Decimals are 1/10th, therefore something that is accurate to 0.10 is sufficiently precise to calculate whole numbers, assuming calibration is proper.
if an abortion programmer programmed terminators they might be stupid and say unborn children are less than one whole human being. They are wrong.
as for the "half dead" part of the comment, that is truely deep thinking. Each person is living a measure of their total eternal potential in mortality. People can definately be quantified in terms of morals and spiritual health less than whole numbers, if one compares that relative to physical.
folks can be sad and feeling 4 out of 10 emotionally. Or someone could be perceived as morally bankrupt and like 1/10 bottom of the barrel of their life.
This could be represented by color in terms relative to the whole number.
so 0.0 green means no casualties average is happy
0.0 red means no casualties average is under distress.
just my contribution.
It's small detail they put in to emphasize that he is a machine, and not human. Machines dont see the difference, and simply outputs anything in decimals.
In this case the decimal will always be 0.
@@BrianJ. Agree
however it also refers to precision.
0:41 :) Going out with promise in mind
2:10 Confirmation of his promise kept
My older comment might have been deleted by youtube. It mentioned unborn children being whole numbers but other individuals in this world think that abortion & etc... is anything less than whole.
In that sense, this machine is debatably more humanistic and empathetic in this scene than those who seek to justify the slaughter of the unborn.
Best blockbuster movie ever made.
And in my super biased opinion, best movie ever made. You just can't change my mind about that.
It's an absolute masterclass! Been a long time General.
Me and whoever would go with me went and saw it 5 times at the theatre. When it came out. I stiil watch it on tv.
The only movie that comes close for me is Aliens, and I'm not sure which is better.
@@Hawk_of_Battle cannot agree more, spot on there 👍
Absolutly the best movie of the history!
One of the best exchanges in action movie history:
"You in the window, drop your weapon and place your hands on top of your head."
*Minigun starts firing*
"Holy shit!"
The helicopter pilot immediately turned tail and fled the scene after realizing he would’ve been downed had he stayed for that exchange. Chucklesome bit in the midst of all this intense action.
This movie was right on the edge of the CGI transition.
This movie amongst many others was released at the peak of this era utilizing this kind of film production.
It is one of the last of very raw visual effects.
That "fwooop" sound effect when he reloads the grenade launcher
Classic sound from having played COD and the like using the M79!!
In 1991 I was 6 years old, my parents took me to see this movie and I will never forget that night.
Many years later, still one of the most badass scenes in fiction
they said this movie was ahead of its time. I say it is still way ahead of all time until now.
The moment that revealed the Terminator in this film has truly grown to be a heroic figure beyond his programming thanks to the child he's protecting.
This movie deserves multiple academy awards. From the actors, director and soundtrack.
It got four, the only Terminator film to be nominated for Oscars. It won Visual Effects, Sound Effects Editing, Sound and Make-Up. It was nominated for two others; Cinematography and Film Editing but lost them both to JFK. Additionally Linda Hamilton was campaigned for a nomination for Best Actress but was unsuccessful
@@reptongeek It deserved the big awards, Best Director, Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress. But the Academy never gives those awards to Sci fi action movies.
@@SunlightGwyn The Silence of the Lambs is a very good film though
@@reptongeek I forgot that came out the same year. Fine, the acting awards should have gone to that but Best Picture and Best Director should have gone to T2.
This is where the T-800 starts to really show some human ticks. Whoever thought that Arnold Schwarzenegger isn't a great actor could probably stand to review this scene. It's a Masters class in dynamic subtext.
God, this movie is SO perfect! Look how beautiful the film footage looks! It’s like it was 4K before it was even invented!
