Yup... that's why there were only ever TWO films in the Terminator series. Some people claim otherwise... but they are just trrying to sell you on Hollywood cash-grabs with bad plots, hammy dialogue, and ever more convoluted timelines.
Because Judgement Day was inevitable. Its(that you cant actually prevent a pas event) covered in various articles about theoretical time travel. One of the reason Ill defend T3 to my grave. 4 was hit and miss with a terrible ending and the rest are just trash.
@@undertow5164 - No it wasn't inevitable. That was answered quite clearly in the first film: Sarah Connor : Are you saying it's from the future? Kyle Reese : One possible future... from your point of view. So that means after T2, Kyle Reese's future still exists, and he STILL saved Sarah and fathered John in 1984. However, after Judgment Day is stopped the timeline he came from would now be just an alternate future from a different timeline where that happened.
@@Mr.Ekshin The short lived TV series made for a better 'sequel' to T2; and that PC FPS game: Terminator:Resistance is a great dose of 'future war' (not to mention, the makers of the game really loved the franchise)./
Funny story, but my dad worked in Silicon Valley in the 80s and 90s, and the company he worked for moved into the same commercial park that the Cyberdyne building was in (right next door). We ended up hearing about the movie production, and were camped out in the parking lot, watching Arnold with the mini-gun as Cameron was filming.
I do like this directors cut version except for the ending, I much prefer the end scene on the theatrical version where it's on the dark road at night. But yes. there are only 2 Terminator movies directed by James Cameron. The rest are really just money grabs. However T3 isn't terrible so watch that if you want to. Just don't expect it to be as good as this.
Well. This is one of the films that defined our childhood. "Easy Money" Being rebels the same age and going to arcades, our parents rarely knew where we were. This movie is brilliant in every way. When CGI was in its infancy and not completely depended on like today. Just like Jurassic Park, it was still art. Not a crutch. Who am I to "judge?" Brilliant film Cameron. I cried at the end the first time, I can't lie. Uncle Bob broke my heart.
The Easiest way to think about ALL the Terminator Movies/TV is think of as if they follow Different/Multiple Timelines: - T1, T2(Director's Cut), end - T1, T2(Theatrical Cut), T:Dark Fate - T1, T2(Theatrical Cut), T3, T:Salvation - T1, T:Genisys - T1, T2(Theatrical Cut), Sarah Conner Chronicles (TV show)
@@amandamiquilena too lazy to dig through the comments so I'll leave this here. This ending is an alternate one so if you want to watch the other movies, look for the theatrical ending so you won't be confused on how the story continues when you just saw everyone live happily ever after.
Well no official release has disclosed the budget, the best guesses not refuted by those involves was around 104 million at the time which would be closer to 242 million today. T1 is around 15 million adjusted. But T2 had about 25 million of the budget going to advertising- which is about 58 million today. Putting filming budget closer to 184.
@@flinx the laziness has no bounds! Too lazy to type and watch at the same time and too lazy to delete the comment after watching her watch the very thing I was suggesting she watch a few moments later... I will leave it as a monument for future generations to learn from 😅
Arnold’s metal skeleton is called a T-800. There are thousands of “skin coverings”; each looking like a different person. Any skin covering that looks like Arnold is a CSM-101(Cyberdyne Systems Model-101). A CSM-102 will look like someone else. A CSM-103 will look like someone else.
You explained almost exactly how I was going to explain about the different models. I don't remember if it was part 3 or 4 that they covered that. However You only answered part of the question of why the terminators look the same. You explained the story reason. But the actual real life reason for that storyline? So they could use Arnold for part 2, part 3, etc. I mean, Arnold is one of the most famous action movie stars EVER. Keeping him in the series makes $en$e.
The trailer also showed the model 101 being manufactured. I seem to remember James Cameron in an interview talking about how test audiences were confused both by another 101 appearing and by the twist of Arnold being good this time. It led them to focus on those points in the advertising, even ruining the reveal.
Fun fact: one needs two hands to fly a helicopter. If you look closely, the T-1000 grows a third arm when flying the helicopter so it can keep shooting.
Arnold is the same model and design in both films. Then they change things up in Terminator 3, making him a T-850 or some s**t and for no good reason. I would love to see Arnold on the battlefield in the future along with a bunch of other bodybuilders ie Terminators, moving just like the endoskeletons, ready to shoot any human they see
Would be no point to a sequel to T2. The story has been told to its conclusion. But could you imagine if they did make more after T2!. They would either be boring watching Sarah and John live normal lives doing regular things, or they would be nonsense reconned money grab trash movies. Nope, best that it ended after T2.
@@etlttc353 Right,T3 was the perfect end. If They manage to stop the Judgement Day, they won't be a possible for John in the future to sent his father back in time to met his mother in 1984, and he won't exist. He exist because of the war happen in the future, that make he exist. Other Terminator movie after T3 is useless. Salvation is just a story about what happen in the future. Those 4 film is matters to each other.
The woman who played John’s foster mom, Jeanette Goldstein, also played Pvt. Vasquez in ‘Aliens’ and the Irish mom putting the children to bed as the ship was sinking in ‘Titanic’.
"I want to be a terminator." That Amanda Miquilena is out there. She can't be bargained with, she can't be reasoned with, she doesn't know pain or fear, and she absolutely will not stop, ever, until you push the like button, subscribe and set notifications to all so you never miss new content.
In Sarah's dream at the playground, that's not Linda Hamilton playing with the children, it's Leslie Hamilton, her twin sister. She is also in the scene at the end when there are 2 Sarahs in the same shot at the factory ~ Despair.
There are two sets of identical twins in this film. The security guard at the vending machine was stabbed by the T1000 played by his brother, and when Sarah is working on Arnies head, they are not in fact looking into a mirror, Linda Hamiltons twin played her 'reflection'. No mirror, so no reflection of the camera in it. One of the cleverest shots ever imo.
Actually the theatrical ending was less conclusive, you watched the... whatever cut. There's a number of different cuts out there of Terminator 2. Always thought the theatrical version had perfect pacing. Same with the theatrical version of Aliens.
Yeah this is the extended edition with the alternate "super happy" ending. The theatrical ending is the real ending. I think James Cameron even agrees.
I was 9 years old when my parents took me to see this masterpiece on the biggest screen in town. The theater had the greatest sound ever. When that endoskeleton crushed the skull, everyone jumped through the roof. T2 is one of the greatest movie-going experiences of my life.
The thing I most appreciate about this movie (and Aliens) is that they aren’t typical sequels that rehash the first movie, making the same jokes or referencing the same moments. Instead, Cameron imagines what might happen next and tells a true continuation of the story. Characters change and evolve (Sarah is a legend here) and the plot progresses! These early James Cameron movies are his best imo.
@@gavinsheridan4680 But callbacks, not rehashes. Many sequels are nothing more than a series of "I remember that bit!" moments. Very lazy. Also, T1 was better than T2. 😉
It’s a shame they never made a third terminator movie or a third alien movie. Never never never. But then, a movie about Ellen Ripley raising Newt and marrying Dwayne Hicks might be accurate and heartwarming, they decided it would be a sleeper at the box office, SO THEY NEVER MADE A THIRD. NEVER.
54:57 That's part of Cameron's genius. That he can get you screaming at the screen "Will that thing *ever* die??!!" in one movie and crying "NOOO!" over it's demise in the very next.
One of the best, smartest parts of Terminator 2 is how Sarah becomes the thing she hates. She turns into a Terminator, devaluing the Miles Dyson and the effect on his family. I am still seriously annoyed that Linda Hamilton wasnt nominated for Best Actress. Her Sarah Connor is one of the three best, strongest, most iconic female characters ever put on film.
Correction: she *almost* becomes the thing she hates. But she pulls back at the last minute. That's what's so clever about the writing in this sequel. There are so many statements in this film about what differentiates a human from a humanoid machine (or human intelligence from AI, to put it in today's terms). From Arnie's T-800 trying to understand crying and emotions, to the discussions about why killing is wrong (particularly relevant in the context of action movies at the time, as by the early 1990s there had been a lot of controversy about the amount of violence and killing in cinema blockbusters in the late '80s, including several of Arnie's own movies), themes about growth and learning from our past (childhood, fostering, parenthood, etc), to Sarah Connor's journey from cold repression and just being driven for a mission to rediscovering her 'humanity', right down to the little moment where the T-1000 briefly looks at a mannequin trying to work out what it is. The more you watch this film, the more parallels you see being explored or hinted at. It really works on so many levels. And yes, Linda Hamilton carried off her transformation and the role of Sarah Connor excellently here.
It's interesting that neither Ripley nor Connor nor O'Hara are particularly strong woman (especially Scarlett) to begin with. They're all created by circumstances.
Fun fact, the foster mother is the same actress that played Vasquez in Aliens, also plays an Irish mother in Titanic. She's quite the chameleon. Also the budget wasn't 3x higher, more like 10x and JC actually pocketed a large portion of the first movies budget by doing guerrilla filmmaking.
Wow! What 5 years and a different hair colour can do. I did not recognise her even though I have seen both movies many times. Now I'm confused. Who is more badass; Jenette Goldstein wielding a huge gun or a sword arm? :D
"This terminator looks like the last one with no explanation." In the television commercials for the movie, they showed an assembly line producing Arnold type terminators. Those shots were also used in the Guns & Roses music video for "You Could be Mine" which was a tie in for this movie as well. All together they were supposed to give the idea of this movie being about multiple Arnolds coming back to kill John Conner and thus reinforce the twist.
@@znk0r You'll note in the original movie one of the infiltrators seen in a flashback had a different face. Same body builder physique. Different assembly lines. Not the worst plot hole in the franchise.
The thing to remember with this movie... Is it contains almost no CGI. The Future War start sequence entirely practical apart from the rotoscoped laser shots. They used rear-projection screens in the backgrounds, with sets in the foreground, and filmed the whole thing in-camera. The T-1000, is only CGI when it does things a puppet can't do. They used prosthetics, animatronics, makeup, puppetry, and even resorted to wrapping Robert Patrick in tin-foil and spray paint....... The finale chase scene, they even flew a real helicopter under a real bridge... for real. Fo' reals and ever-thang! This is why T2 and Jurassic Park look so good... because they had talent, experience and hard work involved, real life physics and actual real things on real sets... not just pressing keys on keyboards and letting a computer render everything on a green-screen.
So you obviously have no clue what work it means to do realistic looking CGI. This whole „practical effects are better“ nonsense fools guys like you. Look for the video series „No CGI is really just invisible CGI“. In 1991 they had no other options to use practical effects for the most parts because the tools needed weren’t available.
You talked about some of the crew disagreeing with the chopper scene but you didn't include it. It was where the chopper flew under the bridge was a real life & death stunt & some of the film crew didn't wan't to record a mans death so James did & the stunt was pulled off successfully
The special effects were done so well for this movie in the 90's that they stand the test of time and still look good today. Something that is not going to happen with many current movies years from now when they are seen again, because the CGI they did leaves much to be desired. It's always good to combine CGI with practical effects to make it look more realistic. And as you can see, many scenes filmed in a real way, the explosions, the trucks, the helicopters, are no longer filmed today with this level of super-production because it is too expensive and all that was replaced today by CGI, which in my opinion, has not yet evolved to deceive us that we are seeing real scenes, it looks artificial.
5:58 - the same reason your phone looks exactly like a million other phones: it was made on an assembly line. Sure, they'd need a variety of appearances overall, otherwise people would be able to identify the infiltration units by sight. But you could still have thousands of identical copies without issue. T2 struck a really good balance between the use of practical effects and CGI, something that modern movies should take note of.
@@znk0r No, by that logic if he only touched your arm, he couldn't become your whole body. The functionality clearly extends a certain distance from the point of contact, or it wouldn't be useful.
@34:28 "That's not how you turn a computer off" For the time (1991) that's a pretty accurate representation of how you'd turn a computer off. We're talking pre-windows, so the whole shut down/power off from the start menu: that's not a thing. The process back then was literally make sure it's not performing a write operation, then hit the off button.
the effects were mindblowing for the time. all people were talking about was how amazing it looked. also the actor who played John was from southern California so that's why he pronounced the hispanic words well
The reason I was confused is becuse in Terminator 1 Kyle says that they used to be able to recognize the cyborgs because they had rubber skin (or something like that) but because they started making them more realistic, it was more difficult to spot them. It's logical to think that if they all looked exactly the same then there wouldn't be an issue with recognition. Making them all look the same is a big give-away. Also, in the flash-forward Kyle has, they showed a Terminator with red eyes (in the refuge) and it doesn't look like Arnold.
@@amandamiquilena You are exactly right. It wouldn't make sense. There are different looking terminators. The internal skeleton is a T-800. The outside model in this one is "model 101". There are other models that look like different people.
The given reason for the terminators looking the same was that each model number, 101, 102, 103, etc had a different face. The actual IRL reason for this storyline was so that they could use Arnold for T2 and any other sequel. Arnold was and still is one of the biggest action movie stars EVER. That's the real reason.
It's not a mystery. The terminator comes off an assembly line... things that come off an assembly line look the same. Amazes me that people can't put that together.
That's not exactly clear in the first two films. The T-800s are said to be infiltration units, and they would not make very good infiltration units if they all looked the same. We see two different looking T-800 units in the first film - the Arnie model, and the one that infiltrated the bunker and killed everyone in Reece's flashback. They may have the same metal skeleton underneath, but they had different looking flesh parts. It isn't until the later films that we are shown a production line.
Yeah but Kyle said he's a model 101 so logically all 101 look like Arnold. I guess it's a quick line and if you just watch the first movie one time it's not that obvious 😅
@@PhilippeLachance It's one of those things that changed over time and eventually got retconned. Original film merely referred to the Terminator as Model 101 with no reference to that being what the outer skin looked like. Keep in mind that Kyle explicitly says he had to wait for the Terminator to make the first move against Sarah as he didn't know what it looked like. Eventually, the endoskeleton is what became known as the T-800 with Model 101 referring to the outer skin. This is seen in film as the Terminator's HUD at one point displays "Cyberdyne Systems Series 800 Model 101." James Cameron later explains in the T2 commentary that the model number is specifically the outer appearance of a Terminator being used for infiltration rather than a basic footsolider (101 is Arnold, 102 would be someone else, etc.) Logically, that would mean you could have different combinations of endoskeleton and outer skin as we later see with T3 (T-850, Model 101) And while we don't have model numbers applied to various T-1000s seen across the franchise, one would assume that the model number in that case would refer to their default appearance.
@@Enigma1788 yeah I know but still by watching the movies multiple times you can figure it out after a while. That's what I said. It's not obvious the first time watching. But yeah I understand it was not explained and that it wasn't supposed to be that. It is not even mention in the first movie that he is a T800 so the model 101 is probably the model of terminator not his skin.
4:48 "This song... so '90s" - except that "Bad To The Bone" is a 1980s song, using a speeded-up 1950s riff. The film is from 1991, but most movies use existing hits from previous decades precisely because adult viewers will relate to them instantly. For younger viewers hearing the song for the first time, they will just associate it with the movie from then on, so it's a win-win for the film studios!
Here's the real life discussion Cameron had with his editors. Editors: Bad to the Bone? Come on, man, that's so cliché! Cameson: I don't fucking care, it's fucking cool.
I must say you have a ruthless streak in you I find it sexy😊 and yuo have a great sense of humor 🎉 Anyway...your the best!!! Viva la France!!!!!! I just read you are from Venezuela I did not think you looked french... I thought you had italian blood..... How did you end up in France Amanda???? The terminator was killed because they had to destroy his chip too
Terminator 3 was an unnecessary third dip into the same formula IMO. 4 5 and 6 were three separate attempts to start new lines of storytelling, and none of them stuck. Actually after the first 2 films, the short lived TV series The Sarah Connor Chronicles is definitely the best thing.
Yes. I totally agree. They actually gave us a believable female Terminator in Summer Glaus Cameron. Right off the bat, they showed us why it was necessary to make Cameron female. She infiltrated and seduced John with her feminine whiles. And then later, she's perfectly stoic... like Arnold. When she turns and becomes a deadly killing machine again, Cameron actually feels like Robert Patrick's T-1000. The TX was lame. She gave herself a b00b job, but she never does anything with it. It's just part of her aesthetic. And frankly, I still think the T-1000 is more impressive.
T3's downfall was the attempt at injecting humor, but aside from that,still a good story. T4 takes place in the. future. with adult John. After that its just a mess.But yes, The Sarah Chronicles is well. worth the watch
I loved both T3 and Salvation💖💖💖. They were both perfect💖💖💖. Don't understand why they are so hated. You guys are noobs. They were both perfect continuation of the story. And in Salvation sequels we would get to see TONS of advanced future war. But because of you butt hurt haters the film flopped and the sequels never got made.
@@towkirshuvo97 T3 is definitely NOT perfect. Like I pointed out, they tried adding too much humor into it, and it didn't work. Besides that, it was an good continuation, not great but good minus the comedy.
42:35 I'd say probably Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, BAE Systems, GE Aerospace, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, North American Aerospace Defense Command, Rheinmetall AG, Raytheon.... I mean take your pick, lol. That's just SOME of the NATO aligned defense contractors that could be the catalyst for an end of civilization scenario.
So the reason that all the T800 series terminators look like Arnold is because they're made on an assembly line and the genetic material is cloned tissue from the same human.
Once again Amanda, another great Arnold movie that I thank you so very much for sharing. Hopefully you will show "Terminator 3" Rise of the Machines". Unfortunately there is no Sarah Conner but John Connor, his future wife, big Arnold and a very beautiful lady who is like you who is like you, The New Terminator. Enjoy. Adios mi Amor. Adios.
I don't think Sarah's commentary on the Terminator is a 'dig at men', rather acknowledging the reality that replacing a child's biological father - or either biological parent - with someone that will care the same, is not an easy thing. Something that modern society seems to have trouble understanding with the epidemic of single parenthood.
No, it's a dig at men. James Cameron's whole personality is super, super liberal. All his movies have very leftist themes, in this case the feminist 'hate men' attitude. Look at Avatar. Every movie has gotten more ideologically hateful toward groups leftist love to hate: men, straight people, cis people, white people.
I always felt the original ending was perfect with the point of this movie being about going from fate to hope. While the other sequels are meh, I would definitely recommend the Sarah Connor Chronicles show. It was made after 3, but is based (almost) solely on and picks up after 1 and 2 with John as a high schooler. A little slow-developing maybe, but ended up being kinda awesome. A bunch of different storylines, mythology, technical explanations, profound diary entries each episode, maybe even the best job of making the humor hit.
"It's easy to tell when the sequel is a cash grab and when it was from the passion of the artist." Yes. That's why many fans consider Terminator 1 and 2 to be the only real movies. Yeah, there are others in the series, but if you stopped here you could live the rest of your life and never be disappointed with a Terminator movie.
If you enjoy Arnold, and like the Directing of James Cameron, then you will love a film he did called "True Lies". Starring Arnold and Jamie Lee Curtis - it is an action/comedy/romance with a clever story and excellent acting and amazing practical effects. Please consider it for your list. Oh and I love your excellent editing skills, and your great command of English and understanding all the references which are usually unrecognized by people from different cultures - bravo!
(When Sarah was explaining how the Terminator sent, would b a positive father-figure) It wasn’t a dig to all men, just the men Sara has chosen to allow in her life.
Spoiler free coment about Terminator 3: I love the way the authors achieved a perfect explanation on how the story could go on, after all that happened in Terminator 2. I think Terminator 3 is very underappreciated. Sure Terminator 2 is the best one of the whole franchise. But 3 and 4 are cool movies, too. Oh and, according to the things you've said, you definitely gotta watch till Terminator Genisis (the fifth movie). Because... they fulfilled something in that film, you've just asked for, in this very reaction 😉
I generally prefer the theatrical release of this, partly bcause it's the canonical version of the movie. That aside, everyone loves the first two movies in the franchise, but everything _after_ this second movie is where the fan base breaks up into arguments and slap-fights. Everyone loves the first two, but from there on it's a mixed bag. Between a handful of movies and a television show, plots are picked up and thrown away, the physics of pretty much everything vary based on the movie or show, and in general it's--frankly, it's a mess. Personally, I suggest to just ignore the franchise after this, save for _Terminator: Dark Fate._ The movies and series get really weird, contradict each other and themselves, and generally are just a mess, as I said. _Dark Fate,_ however, was made specifically to take place after _Terminator 2: Judgment Day,_ so it thoroughly ignores all that chaos, plus it was created with direct involvement by James Cameron. Personally, I feel it's a very good third movie to follow the first two. That said, you're going to get a lot of people arguing for or against the entire franchise, so really, it's up to you, of course. 🏳🌈🖖
There isn't much from the extended edition that I like. But I definitely don't like the end as much. Also, Terminator 3 isn't so bad, I'd recommend it. I think all the movies are worth watching, but I can't suggest the series because I haven't seen that. Anyway, appreciate the content, thanks.
As a fellow Latino... I cant wait to watch you see Dark Fate. You could actually jump all of the other Terminator movies and go to that. Its supposed to be a continuation of this with no regards for the other films.
Terminator: Dark Fate is bad-ass too. It's the reunion of Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger after this film. It would be great to react to that too.
5:55 they look the same for the very simple reason that the terminators are manufactured machines With skin growing over them. So it's simpler just to make identical copies. Just like two models of the same washing machine will look the same. 35:15 then you probably want to see the movie Ex Machina The real reason is it's the same actor.
funny thing about the scene where the hospital warden is licking Sarah's face is that the actor was, understandably, creeped out and embarrassed about having to do that that they ended up having to do several takes, which of course just made it that much worse for poor Linda :p
You are right about what you said,. This movie made a bunch of money and they wanted to continue to make money on the franchise. I like all the Terminator movies but Terminator Dark Faith is a continuation of this movie and now there is also Terminator End Of War that will be released soon that is a following of the Dark Faith movie.
As for the ending I honestly say that I don't like this one. The original theater release and first extended cut had a different one, much more open with camera shot on the road leading into a dark and Sarah's voice over saying that the future is no longer set and that if a machine can learn the value of human life, maybe we can do so too. It was like a message, a warning. This alternative ending with everything OK and everyone happy simply has not the impact.
¿Es en serio que querías que matara a Dyson y encima delante de su hijo y mujer?. Se han perdido los valores. Pelis como esta y series como Lost demuestran que no hay que hacer eso y porqué. Enggame es un mal ejemplo, diciendo que deben volver en el tiempo y matar a Thanos bebé
Robert Patrick practiced running breathing through his nose with his mouth closed at all times without blinking to look more robotic. His T-1000 running is amazing.
39:48 _“Terminate him…”_ What? Imagine they come to get rid of your dad for something that he invented but the government twisted the use of the product. Its like getting rid of all the people that sell knife cause it can be used as a weapon, so it’s about who and how they use a product itself.
Hello Amanda, nice to see you!😊 You look beautiful as always!🌹 In a deleted scene from the first film we see the name of the factory where Sarah destroyed the first Terminator was "Cyberdyne Systems Corporation". They were the ones who created the Terminators in future history. Also, Miles Dyson worked for that company. Arnold's skin number model is 101, so we can presume there are at least 100 more Terminator's with different looking facial and body features. It is just a coincidence his model was the one sent back again. Of course, for Arnold to return it would have to be the same model. The CGI for the film was cutting edge at the time. Effects were specially made for this film that had never been done before. When James Cameron wrote the film he knew the special effects were not ready for what he wrote, but they would be available in the near future. The rotor router Sarah has in the needle would burn his insides with poison acid, normally used to clear clogged drains.☠ Cyberdyne would just hire someone to take over Miles Dyson work if he were killed. So, it would not stop there. There are two sets of twins that are shown together which saved money on CGI. The guard that is attacked by the floor Terminator, are actually twins. The scene with two Sarah's are Linda Hamilton's twin sister in the factory. James Cameron did stop making Terminator films after this for a while, but came back to make another one year's later when he got the Terminator rights back. He ignores the events of the other Terminator films after this. The end scene in the future is not shown in the theatrical version of the film. They just drive down a highway with a voiceover from Sarah. There is an A.I. film like what you described that you would like to see, Amanda. It is "Ex Machina" (2014).🏆You should definitely check it out. You would really enjoy it! GREAT reactions to this very well made film, Amanda!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The original theatrical version ended on an open ending note with Sarah Connor ending with the lines of "if a machine can learn the value of human life, then maybe we can to." The reason who they were able to make more movies after this is because of one word. "Retcon." I won't say more than that.

"If they manage to destroy this thing in this movie, then what's the point of the rest."
A question people have been asking for a long time now.
Yup... that's why there were only ever TWO films in the Terminator series. Some people claim otherwise... but they are just trrying to sell you on Hollywood cash-grabs with bad plots, hammy dialogue, and ever more convoluted timelines.
Because Judgement Day was inevitable. Its(that you cant actually prevent a pas event) covered in various articles about theoretical time travel. One of the reason Ill defend T3 to my grave. 4 was hit and miss with a terrible ending and the rest are just trash.
@@undertow5164 - No it wasn't inevitable. That was answered quite clearly in the first film:
Sarah Connor : Are you saying it's from the future?
Kyle Reese : One possible future... from your point of view.
So that means after T2, Kyle Reese's future still exists, and he STILL saved Sarah and fathered John in 1984.
However, after Judgment Day is stopped the timeline he came from would now be just an alternate future from a different timeline where that happened.
It's a pre destination paradox.
@@Mr.Ekshin The short lived TV series made for a better 'sequel' to T2; and that PC FPS game: Terminator:Resistance is a great dose of 'future war' (not to mention, the makers of the game really loved the franchise)./
Funny story, but my dad worked in Silicon Valley in the 80s and 90s, and the company he worked for moved into the same commercial park that the Cyberdyne building was in (right next door).
We ended up hearing about the movie production, and were camped out in the parking lot, watching Arnold with the mini-gun as Cameron was filming.
There are no more Terminator moves. Trust me on this.
This is the real end. Terminator 3 is a different timeline.
I enjoyed all the terminator movies. Ok first two are supreme but the rest all have great action
I do like this directors cut version except for the ending, I much prefer the end scene on the theatrical version where it's on the dark road at night.
But yes. there are only 2 Terminator movies directed by James Cameron.
The rest are really just money grabs. However T3 isn't terrible so watch that if you want to. Just don't expect it to be as good as this.
I love how excited you were to watch this.
The second and last movie in the Terminator franchise.
Well. This is one of the films that defined our childhood. "Easy Money" Being rebels the same age and going to arcades, our parents rarely knew where we were. This movie is brilliant in every way. When CGI was in its infancy and not completely depended on like today. Just like Jurassic Park, it was still art. Not a crutch. Who am I to "judge?" Brilliant film Cameron. I cried at the end the first time, I can't lie. Uncle Bob broke my heart.
The Easiest way to think about ALL the Terminator Movies/TV is think of as if they follow Different/Multiple Timelines:
- T1, T2(Director's Cut), end

@@amandamiquilena too lazy to dig through the comments so I'll leave this here. This ending is an alternate one so if you want to watch the other movies, look for the theatrical ending so you won't be confused on how the story continues when you just saw everyone live happily ever after.
Well no official release has disclosed the budget, the best guesses not refuted by those involves was around 104 million at the time which would be closer to 242 million today. T1 is around 15 million adjusted. But T2 had about 25 million of the budget going to advertising- which is about 58 million today. Putting filming budget closer to 184.
@@ettcha also too lazy to watch 58:20 where she actually showed part of the theatrical ending ;)

Arnold’s metal skeleton is called a T-800. There are thousands of “skin coverings”; each looking like a different person. Any skin covering that looks like Arnold is a CSM-101(Cyberdyne Systems Model-101). A CSM-102 will look like someone else. A CSM-103 will look like someone else.
You explained almost exactly how I was going to explain about the different models. I don't remember if it was part 3 or 4 that they covered that.
However
You only answered part of the question of why the terminators look the same. You explained the story reason. But the actual real life reason for that storyline? So they could use Arnold for part 2, part 3, etc.
I mean, Arnold is one of the most famous action movie stars EVER. Keeping him in the series makes $en$e.
I was typing a comment basically saying that but you have done it so much better so I gave up 👍
@@danielg6566T3 extras, William Candy
The trailer also showed the model 101 being manufactured. I seem to remember James Cameron in an interview talking about how test audiences were confused both by another 101 appearing and by the twist of Arnold being good this time. It led them to focus on those points in the advertising, even ruining the reveal.
Robert Patrick/T1000 said that throwing Arnold/THE Terminator through walls was about the funnest thing he's done as an actor.
Yes, I think I remember him saying this.
I've put in image search for him, there is literally nothing from Ladder49 if you look up his name.
"The Body's still recognizable, she needed to do more".. LOL
Why is Amanda’s mouth on the left side of her face
Fun fact: one needs two hands to fly a helicopter. If you look closely, the T-1000 grows a third arm when flying the helicopter so it can keep shooting.
Sometimes i also grow an third arm, usually i try to hide it with my other hand, rubbing it usually works.
It actually has 4 arms in the helicopter.
@jhinelforajido1908 I can only see three for sure at any one time, but it might go up to four when reloading.
@@johnsensebe3153 Look closely when he is reloading. 1 is on the stick, 2 on the side controls, 3rd on the mp5 and the 4rth on the magazine.
@@jhinelforajido1908 how did his body gain mass for four arms? Or, did he repurpose his legs to have enough material for the two extra arms?
In both movies when Arnold says he'll be back he's driving through the door with a car :D
Arnold is the same model and design in both films. Then they change things up in Terminator 3, making him a T-850 or some s**t and for no good reason.
I would love to see Arnold on the battlefield in the future along with a bunch of other bodybuilders ie Terminators, moving just like the endoskeletons, ready to shoot any human they see
Thank god there were only two Terminators! Yup I’m in denial for decades!!! Only two! Perfect duo
"It has to end here" as the T-800 said to John. And it did end there!
Would be no point to a sequel to T2. The story has been told to its conclusion.
But could you imagine if they did make more after T2!. They would either be boring watching Sarah and John live normal lives doing regular things, or they would be nonsense reconned money grab trash movies.
Nope, best that it ended after T2.
Right there with you.
salvation had great ideas
@@etlttc353 Right,T3 was the perfect end. If They manage to stop the Judgement Day, they won't be a possible for John in the future to sent his father back in time to met his mother in 1984, and he won't exist. He exist because of the war happen in the future, that make he exist. Other Terminator movie after T3 is useless. Salvation is just a story about what happen in the future. Those 4 film is matters to each other.
The woman who played John’s foster mom, Jeanette Goldstein, also played Pvt. Vasquez in ‘Aliens’ and the Irish mom putting the children to bed as the ship was sinking in ‘Titanic’.
Correct.
I felt sorry for her and her children in that scene.

And she said Dyson needed a bullet in the head.
In Sarah's dream at the playground, that's not Linda Hamilton playing with the children, it's Leslie Hamilton, her twin sister. She is also in the scene at the end when there are 2 Sarahs in the same shot at the factory ~ Despair.
She's also one of the dancers in the first movie
There are two sets of identical twins in this film. The security guard at the vending machine was stabbed by the T1000 played by his brother, and when Sarah is working on Arnies head, they are not in fact looking into a mirror, Linda Hamiltons twin played her 'reflection'. No mirror, so no reflection of the camera in it. One of the cleverest shots ever imo.
Linda and her sister also showed up in the shot where John has to decide between his mother and the Liquid Metal terminator imitating his mother.
Linda Hamilton's twin also played Sarah in the dream sequence playing with the children in the playground.
Identical twins are also reacting to this vid, although one is shy.
Sarah's twin is also dancing in the club in the first movie
Linda's twin looks way less identical then the brothers. And sadly she passed away this year.
It's funny how people always wonder how the terminator could come back, it just never occurs to them that more than one could be made.

Actually the theatrical ending was less conclusive, you watched the... whatever cut. There's a number of different cuts out there of Terminator 2. Always thought the theatrical version had perfect pacing. Same with the theatrical version of Aliens.
Yeah this is the extended edition with the alternate "super happy" ending. The theatrical ending is the real ending. I think James Cameron even agrees.
*Amanda* is gangsta but for a sec I thought someone came in the room & was sneaking up on her...LOL
I was 9 years old when my parents took me to see this masterpiece on the biggest screen in town. The theater had the greatest sound ever. When that endoskeleton crushed the skull, everyone jumped through the roof. T2 is one of the greatest movie-going experiences of my life.
im so jealous. i was 12 and too young apparently.
One of the greatest movies to get beer and snacks and just relax
The thing I most appreciate about this movie (and Aliens) is that they aren’t typical sequels that rehash the first movie, making the same jokes or referencing the same moments. Instead, Cameron imagines what might happen next and tells a true continuation of the story. Characters change and evolve (Sarah is a legend here) and the plot progresses! These early James Cameron movies are his best imo.
It still boggles my mind that John's foster mother is played by the same actress who played Vasquez in "Aliens".
I get your point, but there are TONS of callbacks. Almost like Cameron was saying “This is how good T1 could have been with a real budget.”
@@gavinsheridan4680 But callbacks, not rehashes. Many sequels are nothing more than a series of "I remember that bit!" moments. Very lazy.
Also, T1 was better than T2. 😉
It’s a shame they never made a third terminator movie or a third alien movie. Never never never. But then, a movie about Ellen Ripley raising Newt and marrying Dwayne Hicks might be accurate and heartwarming, they decided it would be a sleeper at the box office, SO THEY NEVER MADE A THIRD. NEVER.
Your opinion of course.@@maxducoudray
54:57 That's part of Cameron's genius. That he can get you screaming at the screen "Will that thing *ever* die??!!" in one movie and crying "NOOO!" over it's demise in the very next.
One of the best, smartest parts of Terminator 2 is how Sarah becomes the thing she hates. She turns into a Terminator, devaluing the Miles Dyson and the effect on his family. I am still seriously annoyed that Linda Hamilton wasnt nominated for Best Actress. Her Sarah Connor is one of the three best, strongest, most iconic female characters ever put on film.
Correction: she *almost* becomes the thing she hates. But she pulls back at the last minute.
That's what's so clever about the writing in this sequel. There are so many statements in this film about what differentiates a human from a humanoid machine (or human intelligence from AI, to put it in today's terms). From Arnie's T-800 trying to understand crying and emotions, to the discussions about why killing is wrong (particularly relevant in the context of action movies at the time, as by the early 1990s there had been a lot of controversy about the amount of violence and killing in cinema blockbusters in the late '80s, including several of Arnie's own movies), themes about growth and learning from our past (childhood, fostering, parenthood, etc), to Sarah Connor's journey from cold repression and just being driven for a mission to rediscovering her 'humanity', right down to the little moment where the T-1000 briefly looks at a mannequin trying to work out what it is. The more you watch this film, the more parallels you see being explored or hinted at. It really works on so many levels.
And yes, Linda Hamilton carried off her transformation and the role of Sarah Connor excellently here.
OK. So, Sarah Connor and Ellen Ripley. Who's the third?
@@lionlyons Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O'Hara
the guy playing miles dyson was the best actor he outshone everybody
It's interesting that neither Ripley nor Connor nor O'Hara are particularly strong woman (especially Scarlett) to begin with. They're all created by circumstances.
Fun fact, the foster mother is the same actress that played Vasquez in Aliens, also plays an Irish mother in Titanic. She's quite the chameleon. Also the budget wasn't 3x higher, more like 10x and JC actually pocketed a large portion of the first movies budget by doing guerrilla filmmaking.
Oh shit. I didn't know that. Cool.
Anyway, its Bill Paxton who got achievement of being killed by all Terminator, Aliens and Predator.
Wow! What 5 years and a different hair colour can do. I did not recognise her even though I have seen both movies many times.

I didn't know it was the same actress😅 that's crazy I also watched both movie multiple times but she look so different I didn't recognize her.😮
"This terminator looks like the last one with no explanation."
In the television commercials for the movie, they showed an assembly line producing Arnold type terminators. Those shots were also used in the Guns & Roses music video for "You Could be Mine" which was a tie in for this movie as well. All together they were supposed to give the idea of this movie being about multiple Arnolds coming back to kill John Conner and thus reinforce the twist.
Come to think of it it's kind of stupid considering they are "infiltration" models...them all looking the same is quite the flaw.
@@znk0r It's a big world out there. Lots of room to send 50 or maybe 500 Arnold-looking models to different ruined cities and hideouts.
@@znk0r You'll note in the original movie one of the infiltrators seen in a flashback had a different face. Same body builder physique. Different assembly lines. Not the worst plot hole in the franchise.
The thing to remember with this movie...
Is it contains almost no CGI.
The Future War start sequence entirely practical apart from the rotoscoped laser shots.
They used rear-projection screens in the backgrounds, with sets in the foreground, and filmed the whole thing in-camera.
The T-1000, is only CGI when it does things a puppet can't do.
They used prosthetics, animatronics, makeup, puppetry, and even resorted to wrapping Robert Patrick in tin-foil and spray paint.......
The finale chase scene, they even flew a real helicopter under a real bridge... for real.
Fo' reals and ever-thang!
This is why T2 and Jurassic Park look so good... because they had talent, experience and hard work involved, real life physics and actual real things on real sets... not just pressing keys on keyboards and letting a computer render everything on a green-screen.
They actually flew the helicopter under the bridge twice
So you obviously have no clue what work it means to do realistic looking CGI. This whole „practical effects are better“ nonsense fools guys like you. Look for the video series „No CGI is really just invisible CGI“. In 1991 they had no other options to use practical effects for the most parts because the tools needed weren’t available.
You talked about some of the crew disagreeing with the chopper scene but you didn't include it. It was where the chopper flew under the bridge was a real life & death stunt & some of the film crew didn't wan't to record a mans death so James did & the stunt was pulled off successfully
The special effects were done so well for this movie in the 90's that they stand the test of time and still look good today. Something that is not going to happen with many current movies years from now when they are seen again, because the CGI they did leaves much to be desired. It's always good to combine CGI with practical effects to make it look more realistic. And as you can see, many scenes filmed in a real way, the explosions, the trucks, the helicopters, are no longer filmed today with this level of super-production because it is too expensive and all that was replaced today by CGI, which in my opinion, has not yet evolved to deceive us that we are seeing real scenes, it looks artificial.
5:58 - the same reason your phone looks exactly like a million other phones: it was made on an assembly line. Sure, they'd need a variety of appearances overall, otherwise people would be able to identify the infiltration units by sight. But you could still have thousands of identical copies without issue.
T2 struck a really good balance between the use of practical effects and CGI, something that modern movies should take note of.
You watch the extended version, you get my like and subscribe!

"That's not how you turn a computer off"
For the time (1991) that's a pretty accurate representation of how you'd turn a computer off.
We're talking pre-windows, so the whole shut down/power off from the start menu: that's not a thing.
The process back then was literally make sure it's not performing a write operation, then hit the off button.
In another 30 years, people watching movies from the 1990s will probably not recognize a desktop computer.
There are only 2 terminator movies!

Why does one toaster look the same as another? mass manufacturing
The reason I was confused is becuse in Terminator 1 Kyle says that they used to be able to recognize the cyborgs because they had rubber skin (or something like that) but because they started making them more realistic, it was more difficult to spot them. It's logical to think that if they all looked exactly the same then there wouldn't be an issue with recognition. Making them all look the same is a big give-away. Also, in the flash-forward Kyle has, they showed a Terminator with red eyes (in the refuge) and it doesn't look like Arnold.
That wouldn't really be a good practice for an infiltrator unit toaster.
@@amandamiquilena You are exactly right. It wouldn't make sense. There are different looking terminators. The internal skeleton is a T-800. The outside model in this one is "model 101". There are other models that look like different people.
@@amandamiquilena too deep, don't dive so hard. T-101 series not surprising they similar

@@amandamiquilena Thurston Waffles, Gabe the Dog, Doge, I love memed pets.
The given reason for the terminators looking the same was that each model number, 101, 102, 103, etc had a different face.
The actual IRL reason for this storyline was so that they could use Arnold for T2 and any other sequel. Arnold was and still is one of the biggest action movie stars EVER.
That's the real reason.
It's not a mystery. The terminator comes off an assembly line... things that come off an assembly line look the same. Amazes me that people can't put that together.
That's not exactly clear in the first two films. The T-800s are said to be infiltration units, and they would not make very good infiltration units if they all looked the same. We see two different looking T-800 units in the first film - the Arnie model, and the one that infiltrated the bunker and killed everyone in Reece's flashback. They may have the same metal skeleton underneath, but they had different looking flesh parts. It isn't until the later films that we are shown a production line.
Yeah but Kyle said he's a model 101 so logically all 101 look like Arnold. I guess it's a quick line and if you just watch the first movie one time it's not that obvious 😅
@@PhilippeLachance It's one of those things that changed over time and eventually got retconned.
Original film merely referred to the Terminator as Model 101 with no reference to that being what the outer skin looked like. Keep in mind that Kyle explicitly says he had to wait for the Terminator to make the first move against Sarah as he didn't know what it looked like.
Eventually, the endoskeleton is what became known as the T-800 with Model 101 referring to the outer skin. This is seen in film as the Terminator's HUD at one point displays "Cyberdyne Systems Series 800 Model 101." James Cameron later explains in the T2 commentary that the model number is specifically the outer appearance of a Terminator being used for infiltration rather than a basic footsolider (101 is Arnold, 102 would be someone else, etc.)
Logically, that would mean you could have different combinations of endoskeleton and outer skin as we later see with T3 (T-850, Model 101)
And while we don't have model numbers applied to various T-1000s seen across the franchise, one would assume that the model number in that case would refer to their default appearance.
@@Enigma1788 yeah I know but still by watching the movies multiple times you can figure it out after a while. That's what I said. It's not obvious the first time watching. But yeah I understand it was not explained and that it wasn't supposed to be that. It is not even mention in the first movie that he is a T800 so the model 101 is probably the model of terminator not his skin.
4:48 "This song... so '90s" - except that "Bad To The Bone" is a 1980s song, using a speeded-up 1950s riff. The film is from 1991, but most movies use existing hits from previous decades precisely because adult viewers will relate to them instantly. For younger viewers hearing the song for the first time, they will just associate it with the movie from then on, so it's a win-win for the film studios!
Here's the real life discussion Cameron had with his editors.
Editors: Bad to the Bone? Come on, man, that's so cliché!

The terminator was killed because they had to destroy his chip too
Terminator 3 was an unnecessary third dip into the same formula IMO. 4 5 and 6 were three separate attempts to start new lines of storytelling, and none of them stuck. Actually after the first 2 films, the short lived TV series The Sarah Connor Chronicles is definitely the best thing.
Yes. I totally agree. They actually gave us a believable female Terminator in Summer Glaus Cameron. Right off the bat, they showed us why it was necessary to make Cameron female. She infiltrated and seduced John with her feminine whiles. And then later, she's perfectly stoic... like Arnold. When she turns and becomes a deadly killing machine again, Cameron actually feels like Robert Patrick's T-1000.
The TX was lame. She gave herself a b00b job, but she never does anything with it. It's just part of her aesthetic. And frankly, I still think the T-1000 is more impressive.
T3's downfall was the attempt at injecting humor, but aside from that,still a good story. T4 takes place in the. future. with adult John. After that its just a mess.But yes, The Sarah Chronicles is well. worth the watch
I loved both T3 and Salvation💖💖💖. They were both perfect💖💖💖. Don't understand why they are so hated. You guys are noobs. They were both perfect continuation of the story. And in Salvation sequels we would get to see TONS of advanced future war. But because of you butt hurt haters the film flopped and the sequels never got made.
@@towkirshuvo97 Didnt say I hated Salvation either, I said it didnt stick so they didnt continue it.
@@towkirshuvo97 T3 is definitely NOT perfect. Like I pointed out, they tried adding too much humor into it, and it didn't work. Besides that, it was an good continuation, not great but good minus the comedy.
42:35 I'd say probably Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, BAE Systems, GE Aerospace, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, North American Aerospace Defense Command, Rheinmetall AG, Raytheon.... I mean take your pick, lol. That's just SOME of the NATO aligned defense contractors that could be the catalyst for an end of civilization scenario.
So the reason that all the T800 series terminators look like Arnold is because they're made on an assembly line and the genetic material is cloned tissue from the same human.
Hi Amanda, i'm waiting your reaction of the sequels. Then I suggest you to react the movie: M3gan (2023), just like the realistic of terminator
You did it Amanda. This movie will now always be ingrained in your soul.
You're probably right haha. Thank you for the super thanks! :D
Once again Amanda, another great Arnold movie that I thank you so very much for sharing. Hopefully you will show "Terminator 3" Rise of the Machines". Unfortunately there is no Sarah Conner but John Connor, his future wife, big Arnold and a very beautiful lady who is like you who is like you, The New Terminator. Enjoy. Adios mi Amor. Adios.
I don't think Sarah's commentary on the Terminator is a 'dig at men', rather acknowledging the reality that replacing a child's biological father - or either biological parent - with someone that will care the same, is not an easy thing. Something that modern society seems to have trouble understanding with the epidemic of single parenthood.
No, it's a dig at men. James Cameron's whole personality is super, super liberal. All his movies have very leftist themes, in this case the feminist 'hate men' attitude. Look at Avatar. Every movie has gotten more ideologically hateful toward groups leftist love to hate: men, straight people, cis people, white people.
I always felt the original ending was perfect with the point of this movie being about going from fate to hope.
While the other sequels are meh, I would definitely recommend the Sarah Connor Chronicles show. It was made after 3, but is based (almost) solely on and picks up after 1 and 2 with John as a high schooler. A little slow-developing maybe, but ended up being kinda awesome. A bunch of different storylines, mythology, technical explanations, profound diary entries each episode, maybe even the best job of making the humor hit.
"It's easy to tell when the sequel is a cash grab and when it was from the passion of the artist."
Yes. That's why many fans consider Terminator 1 and 2 to be the only real movies. Yeah, there are others in the series, but if you stopped here you could live the rest of your life and never be disappointed with a Terminator movie.
That's true. All movies after T2 are disposable and add nothing at all to the story or characters.
If you enjoy Arnold, and like the Directing of James Cameron, then you will love a film he did called "True Lies". Starring Arnold and Jamie Lee Curtis - it is an action/comedy/romance with a clever story and excellent acting and amazing practical effects. Please consider it for your list. Oh and I love your excellent editing skills, and your great command of English and understanding all the references which are usually unrecognized by people from different cultures - bravo!
(When Sarah was explaining how the Terminator sent, would b a positive father-figure)
It wasn’t a dig to all men, just the men Sara has chosen to allow in her life.
Spoiler free coment about Terminator 3:
I love the way the authors achieved a perfect explanation on how the story could go on, after all that happened in Terminator 2.
I think Terminator 3 is very underappreciated. Sure Terminator 2 is the best one of the whole franchise. But 3 and 4 are cool movies, too.
Oh and, according to the things you've said, you definitely gotta watch till Terminator Genisis (the fifth movie).
Because... they fulfilled something in that film, you've just asked for, in this very reaction 😉
Whatever you do, stop here and don’t watch any of the terrible sequels that follow.
I generally prefer the theatrical release of this, partly bcause it's the canonical version of the movie. That aside, everyone loves the first two movies in the franchise, but everything _after_ this second movie is where the fan base breaks up into arguments and slap-fights. Everyone loves the first two, but from there on it's a mixed bag. Between a handful of movies and a television show, plots are picked up and thrown away, the physics of pretty much everything vary based on the movie or show, and in general it's--frankly, it's a mess.
Personally, I suggest to just ignore the franchise after this, save for _Terminator: Dark Fate._ The movies and series get really weird, contradict each other and themselves, and generally are just a mess, as I said. _Dark Fate,_ however, was made specifically to take place after _Terminator 2: Judgment Day,_ so it thoroughly ignores all that chaos, plus it was created with direct involvement by James Cameron. Personally, I feel it's a very good third movie to follow the first two.
That said, you're going to get a lot of people arguing for or against the entire franchise, so really, it's up to you, of course.
🏳🌈🖖
There isn't much from the extended edition that I like. But I definitely don't like the end as much.
Also, Terminator 3 isn't so bad, I'd recommend it. I think all the movies are worth watching, but I can't suggest the series because I haven't seen that.
Anyway, appreciate the content, thanks.
Amanda, if the AI possibilities are freaking you out in this movie, just wait until you watch Terminator 3. 👍🥰
As a fellow Latino... I cant wait to watch you see Dark Fate. You could actually jump all of the other Terminator movies and go to that. Its supposed to be a continuation of this with no regards for the other films.

Don't listen to the Nitpickers in the comments!🙌 Finish all the Terminator movies! They are all worth the watch✌️ just enjoy them
Terminator: Dark Fate is bad-ass too. It's the reunion of Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger after this film. It would be great to react to that too.
The effects in T2 were really good. Still looks better then some stuff today.
Loved that you complimented Edward Furlong's pronunciation of Nicaragua haha
5:55 they look the same for the very simple reason that the terminators are manufactured machines With skin growing over them. So it's simpler just to make identical copies. Just like two models of the same washing machine will look the same.
35:15 then you probably want to see the movie Ex Machina
The real reason is it's the same actor.
funny thing about the scene where the hospital warden is licking Sarah's face is that the actor was, understandably, creeped out and embarrassed about having to do that that they ended up having to do several takes, which of course just made it that much worse for poor Linda :p
You are right about what you said,. This movie made a bunch of money and they wanted to continue to make money on the franchise.
I like all the Terminator movies but Terminator Dark Faith is a continuation of this movie and now there is also Terminator End Of War that will be released soon that is a following of the Dark Faith movie.
As for the ending I honestly say that I don't like this one. The original theater release and first extended cut had a different one, much more open with camera shot on the road leading into a dark and Sarah's voice over saying that the future is no longer set and that if a machine can learn the value of human life, maybe we can do so too. It was like a message, a warning. This alternative ending with everything OK and everyone happy simply has not the impact.
You'll really love Terminator 3:Rise Of The Machines
I'll tell you bout the other 3 later
Based on your comments, I really do think a Terminator 3 reaction would be really fun.
¿Es en serio que querías que matara a Dyson y encima delante de su hijo y mujer?. Se han perdido los valores. Pelis como esta y series como Lost demuestran que no hay que hacer eso y porqué. Enggame es un mal ejemplo, diciendo que deben volver en el tiempo y matar a Thanos bebé
Honestly, this is how the movie series should have ended. The next ones were just boring and predictable.
I've never seen that ending, must be some extended or alternate happy ending, the original one was more open, this one was kind of goofy.
In the present day I would compare Cyberdyne to Nvidia.
Very nice film:) The Best film James Cameron!!!
Robert Patrick practiced running breathing through his nose with his mouth closed at all times without blinking to look more robotic. His T-1000 running is amazing.
No it was the directors cut version alternate end :) theatrical was different end :)
“What medication did she take cause I want some of that” you are priceless
Check out the movie Men In Black(1997).
39:48 _“Terminate him…”_ What? Imagine they come to get rid of your dad for something that he invented but the government twisted the use of the product. Its like getting rid of all the people that sell knife cause it can be used as a weapon, so it’s about who and how they use a product itself.
Hello Amanda, nice to see you!😊 You look beautiful as always!🌹 In a deleted scene from the first film we see the name of the factory where Sarah destroyed the first Terminator was "Cyberdyne Systems Corporation". They were the ones who created the Terminators in future history. Also, Miles Dyson worked for that company. Arnold's skin number model is 101, so we can presume there are at least 100 more Terminator's with different looking facial and body features. It is just a coincidence his model was the one sent back again. Of course, for Arnold to return it would have to be the same model. The CGI for the film was cutting edge at the time. Effects were specially made for this film that had never been done before. When James Cameron wrote the film he knew the special effects were not ready for what he wrote, but they would be available in the near future. The rotor router Sarah has in the needle would burn his insides with poison acid, normally used to clear clogged drains.☠ Cyberdyne would just hire someone to take over Miles Dyson work if he were killed. So, it would not stop there. There are two sets of twins that are shown together which saved money on CGI. The guard that is attacked by the floor Terminator, are actually twins. The scene with two Sarah's are Linda Hamilton's twin sister in the factory. James Cameron did stop making Terminator films after this for a while, but came back to make another one year's later when he got the Terminator rights back. He ignores the events of the other Terminator films after this. The end scene in the future is not shown in the theatrical version of the film. They just drive down a highway with a voiceover from Sarah. There is an A.I. film like what you described that you would like to see, Amanda. It is "Ex Machina" (2014).🏆You should definitely check it out. You would really enjoy it! GREAT reactions to this very well made film, Amanda!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I like the original version of this movie no happy endings 😅
25:36 That liquid is designed to dissolve drain clogs, so injecting it in his neck would be Not Good for him.
They explain in Terminator 3 why they look the same.
The original theatrical version ended on an open ending note with Sarah Connor ending with the lines of "if a machine can learn the value of human life, then maybe we can to." The reason who they were able to make more movies after this is because of one word. "Retcon." I won't say more than that.
At 36:44 . . . That is not a dig on men,
that is a dig on Sarah Conner due to the men
that she will ALWAYS choose for herself ! 🤔🤨🧐😳
35:00 The film you are looking for is called M3GAN
YOU WATCHED THE WRONG VERSION 🤮
Masterpiece!
Also Terminator 2 is excellent too. Aha ha ha
