The rest of the movies vary in quality but none are as good as the first two. If you want more Terminator, the TV show, The Sarah Connor Chronicles, is quite good and it takes place after T2.
@@edpublicT-3 answers a primary question. I don't know if the TV Terminators deal with the issue T-3 resolves. She needs to watch T-3 even if she doesn't react to it.
In the scene where she can't bring herself to kill Dyson. It's not because she doesn't have the heart to kill, it's that she realized she's doing exactly what the Machines did to her: Targeted him for execution to stop something he hasn't done and was ultimately rather relentless and uncaring about how she did it: Just like the T-800 from the first movie. It was a subtle dichotomy, the Machine is learning how to be more human while Sarah is operating more and more like the Machine.
One tell is that the background music in that scene is the drum-heavy theme that usually accompanies the Terminator's appearance. Sarah is the Terminator in that moment, killing a human in an effort to try to change the future
Hi Cristy. In the extended version Michael Biehn (Kyle Reese) appears in Sarah’s nightmares. A few years after T2 my younger brother encountered Linda Hamilton with her assistant on the streets of Vancouver. He awkwardly asked for an autograph and Linda said okay. My brother sat on bus stop bench, fumbling in his bag for something for her to write on. Linda calmed him down rubbing his shoulder, ignoring her assistant who was telling her to leave my brother behind. My brother got her autograph with a wonderful memory of how friendly and gracious Linda Hamilton was.
@40:30 Imagine being the commanding officer that has to write up an incident report on how one guy took out an entire SWAT squad. "So the entire team opened fire on him, the bullets bounced off him, and then he decided to treat all our kneecaps like target practice"
People will tell you that Robert Patrick trained intensively to do the running stunts himself for this movie, but did you know he also trained his body to transform into liquid metal? That's really him absorbing those shotgun slugs with his mimetic polyalloy frame. Dude's dedication to the craft is unreal.
I always have to give credit to the character of Miles Dyson. From Frankenstein to Jurassic Park the "sceintist" characters all insist they can fix their run away creations. But Miles doesn't hesitate to destroy his lifes work rather than risk the possibility of his creation becoming a monster . Giving his very life to save the future.
It was also Joe Morton's idea to gasp for air in his death scene. He was in a car accident which resulted in a collapsed lung, making it difficult to breathe. Cameron liked the idea and told him to do it in the scene.
It was Linda Hamilton’s idea that Sarah should be in great shape, because (as you said) she’s prepping for the war. James Cameron hadn’t considered this, so he didn’t have a personal trainer for her. So Arnold volunteered to be her personal trainer.
Linda gave her all for this roll, and the results speak for themselves. Robert Patrick as the T-1000 also went above and beyond for his roll. Both of their performances deserved Oscars.
It's an urban myth that Arnold Schwarzenegger trained Linda Hamilton for Terminator 2. She had a personal trainer named Anthony Cortes. From a 1991 Entertainment Weekly article. (Not linking because doing so sometimes prevents comments from showing). _"Hamilton, 34, was a recent mother (her son, Dalton Abbott, is now 20 months old) with a few pounds of baby fat left when personal trainer Anthony Cortes began working with her last summer, 13 weeks before T2 shooting started. They trained for three hours a day, six days a week, usually in the garage of the actress’ Santa Monica home. Hamilton also shed 12 pounds on a nonfat diet that revolved around cereal with skim milk, chicken, and dry salads. The regimen continued throughout the grueling six-month shoot. Her drills included aerobic exercise (running, biking, swimming, or stair-climbing) followed by free weights interspersed with mini-trampoline work - and, for dessert, walking lunges or an abdominal series."_
I thought Jaws was the first 100 million dollar movie? Im not sure but I do know jaws was the first ever summer blockbuster movie that started that trend.
@@mrglasses8953 No. Adjusting for inflation, you have to compare to 1991. Ten Commandments cost 13million in 1955, which is 66something million in 1991.
@@CristyReacts Yes. When this movie was released in theaters, _all_ of the trailers spoiled that Arnold's terminator was a good guy this time. Nobody seeing it in 1991 got to experience that moment of realization while watching the film. Usually this happens in the hallway scene, but it was cute to see you try so valiantly to conjure reasons for a bad Arnie to not kill John right away.
@@clarkness77 Lol yeah, I remember seeing the trailer for Terminator: Genisys and going "Oh cool, now I don't have to watch the movie!" Then I didn't. And they wonder why it failed.
Lol, yeah. The best part of watching people react to this movie is when Arnold protects the kid and they realize he's the good guy, and that whole scene just flew right over her head.
The surprise switcheroo of terminators was intentional, but alas, when marketing got hold of the film, their big platform was "This time, Arnold's the hero!" for several months before the film was released.
Ya that's fucked. They spoil one of the greatest twists ever. Luckily I wasn't really tuned in to watching trailers or anything so when I first saw it I was blown away when Arnie was the good guy and it was so awesome. I never watch trailers anymore because they either give away the plot twist or show the best part of the whole movie in the trailer. Oh and don't even look at the poster art because they will show a character who was supposed to be dead on it.
"I say your civilization, because as soon as we started thinking for you it really became our civilization, which is of course what this is all about." - Agent Smith - The Matrix.
I am more bafffled how they are surprised since the whole buildup, especially through the music, the light etc. gives that away basically from the start ... Makes me think most of them probably just fake it.
I loved so much that when Sarah went to go see Enrique, your Spanish came out. I've just started learning Spanish and it made me see how amazing it is that you are SO fluent in English! This movie is in a class of sequels that are as good as or better than the original. Aliens, Godfather 2, etc. Thanks for the great reaction!
How I miss this era where in the movies, many scenes were filmed in a real way, like the scenes of the trucks, the explosion of the building, the helicopter, all that real, without so much abuse of CGI as it is done today, although this film has scenes with CGI, but they combine them with practical effects, which makes those scenes look more realistic with FX.
As much as CGI costs today, it's still far less money than many practical effects at today's prices. That's why CGI is used so much for things that could be done without it. Plus it removes the danger to actors and stunt professionals.
There are a few other lines repeated from the first movie. "I'll be back." Both times he returns by driving into a building. "Get out." Both times to someone who then immediately exits the vehicle. "I love you. I always have." Kyle to Sarah, then Sarah to John.
Your reaction shows that you had a LOT of fun watching this! Thanks for letting all of us share this journey of your first experience with Terminator 2!
The difference in visuals is massive, should be though going from the small $6.4 million budget of the first one to $94-102 million on the second, plus advancements in CGI over the years. Still really impressive though what they managed to do with the first film's small budget.
From an article, 3 Ways That Halon Can Be Dangerous: "There are a number of health risks associated with the use of Halon extinguishing agents. These include the following: • Frostbite: Skin that comes in contact with the liquid of Halon can cause frostbite and chilled skin issues. • Suffocation: High concentrations of Halon can cause people to suffocate. This is because it can create an oxygen-deficient environment. • Eye and Skin Irritation: Since Halon is toxic, it can cause damage to skin and eye. Irritation can occur even if there is no direct contact with Halon. • Cardiac Sensitization: Halon can cause an increased heart rate and irregular heartbeats in response to adrenaline. It can even cause a heart attack in extreme cases. • Interruption of the Central Nervous System: Inhalation of high concentrations of Halon can interfere with the proper functionality of central nervous system. In such cases, symptoms of tingling sensation and dizziness is expected. A victim can even go unconscious in some cases. Most of the health hazards listed above occur when exposed to Halon 1211. However, they can also occur in case of Halon 1301."
Great reaction to one of the best sequels ever! Some notes about the movie: The man taking pictures while looked stunned in the mall is the same character (and actor) who was the police officer that Arnold took the police car from in his pursuit of Kyle and Sarah in the first movie. That's why he looks stunned: he knows who this guy is and he knows the damage and killing he was responsible for the last time he saw him. He's also the source of the current day photos the officers show Sarah in Pescadero. It's not mentioned or referred to in any editions, but it is an Easter Egg that a friend of mine showed me. Robert Patrick trained so hard for this role as the T-1000. Training to fire a gun without the reflexive blink. Learning to run full speed only breathing through his nose, and he was fast enough a sprinter that he actually caught the dirt bike in the mall parking garage. He was so amazingly intimidating in this movie, as much as or even more so than Arnold, and that's saying something! When the orderly licks Sarah in the hospital, that was apparently one of the so-called catatonia tests done by unethical or sadistic orderlies according to an old friend of mine who had worked in a few psych hospitals, mainly in California, back in the late 70s and early 80s. It wasn't unusual for patients to try to get an advantage by pretending to be catatonic, hoping that the staff would think that they were out of it and not pay much attention so they could try to escape, create havoc, or whatever. Licking someone's face was a mild way of testing, according to my friend. The more standard way of testing among the more brutal orderlies was what was called a cup check, basically hitting the person in the crotch as hard as they could with a broomstick or something like that (the tonfa, shown in the movie, or a billyclub, wasn't standard when he was working in the field, so the evil jerks had to use other items like broomsticks or knees). If they didn't react then they were catatonic. And, sometimes, the catatonic patients needed to be taken to the hospital due to the damage inflicted by whatever the orderly did causing ruptures or internal damage. Apparently one patient lost his testicles as it was several days before it was realized how badly he had been hurt. And, of course, no one ever knew how it happened. “He musta fallen, or done it to himself to try to get out of here.” My friend never missed that job. He told me that some people did things worse than that, but those stories don't need repeating. There are two sets of twins in this movie. One set are the brothers who played the security guard at Pescadero and the T-1000 imitating him. The other set are Linda Hamilton and her twin sister Lesley who played the other Sarah in the sequences like the nightmare where there are two of her are in the same scene. Lesley, a nurse in real life, passed away a few years ago. There was a scene of the T-101 learning to smile that was cut from the theater edition cos it doesn't add anything of value to the story, but it does lead to a point that amused me once I saw it. After the failure copying the young man's smile unsuccessfully, the Terminator begins copying John's mannerisms and his one sided half smirk smile. This is best seen in the exchange after he hefts the minigun in Sarah's arms bunker and when he tells John "Trust me." before he goes to scare the police. I remember learning that Cameron got a letter from a group of scientists congratulating him for the most realistic depiction of a nuclear detonation in a city in Sarah's nightmare. This horrified him since he was just trying to create the most over the top terrifying image he could, only to discover that it was accurate. Luckily, Sarah stepped back from Terminator mode before killing Dyson, which is good. Killing Dyson wouldn't have changed much of anything anyway. Cyberdyne still would have had the parts, all his notes, and everything they needed to complete the project. Judgment Day would have come, just on a different day other than Michael Jackson's (and my little sister's) birthday. The excellent Joe Morton, who played Dyson, had an accident that punctured one of his lungs when he was younger, so he knew firsthand how Dyson should be breathing/gasping at the end. And, when you get right down to it, the biggest damn hero in this movie was Miles Dyson. When faced with the reality of what his creation will be used for he changes from dispassionate scientist and loyal company man to willing participant who willingly sacrifices his life for the future. He's even more heroic in that he gives the SWAT team who have mortally wounded him the chance to escape and save their lives. To me, the extended edition had two advantages over the standard edition. Though it wasn't obvious in its performance, the continuous damage the T-1000 was taking from every shot that hit it and every impact was affecting it. It is most obvious at the scene in the smelting plant after being shattered when, as shown in the theater release, its feet tended to take on the aspect of the flooring as it walked and, in the extended edition, when it grabbed a railing its hand mimicked the paint job on the railing. Also, in the extended edition, at the final scene when Sarah is calling out for John, he looks down and sees that the fake Sarah's feet look like the ironwork that the T-1000 is standing on and he knows for sure which to trust. The extended edition variant ending is also superior (to me) for one more reason: it ends with older Sarah sitting on a playground bench and watching her adult son playing with her granddaughter, meaning that this Terminator movie is absolutely the end of the franchise, and all the movies that steal the name of the series after this are just lame cash grabs and can and should be avoided like the plague, in my opinion.
I can’t believe it took you that long to realize that the T100 was trying to kill John, and the old terminator is trying to save him… he tried to run him over lol
In the extended version there’s a great scene where Arnold is learning how to smile, it’s pretty damn funny. The scene where the liquid Terminator jumps to the helicopter and the effect of him pouring into the cockpit is a very similar effect used in The Abyss. A Hames Cameron film that’s also really good and you would love it.
The interesting thing about Sarah Conner in this movie is, when we first find her, she’s so obsessed with saving humanity that she’s lost her own sense of humanity and has become more machine than human. She’s completely dissociated in the psych hospital, she’s cold towards her son (whom she hasn’t seen in a long time), and she nearly murders an innocent man in cold blood. And it’s not until she’s faced with the real option of killing Miles Dyson that she finally snaps out of it. And it’s in that moment, when she breaks down and John goes to her…that she finally looks at John as a mother.
"Sarah Connor" Linda Hamilton gave me a big hug at FanX in Salt Lake City. I've had a crush on her since the 1980s. She is so kind and friendly. She worked so hard for her roles. She is really impressive.
Stan Winston did a lot of the practical effects in this movie. James Cameron mentions in the commentary that the scene in the hospital, where the security guard morphs up out of the floor was one of the first digital effects shots in the film. That shot was going to decide how much CGI vs Practical Effects they did in the movie. Fortunately, it turned out great. :)
Robert Patrick who played the liquid metal T 1000 also played Davey Scatino in season 2 of the Sopranos. Just checked to see you are least in season 3 so this wouldn't be a spoiler for you. Remember he plays a boyhood friend of Tony's who owns a good business but is not mob connected. He is a compulsive gambler who borrows money from them and litterly loses everything. Love all your reactions!!
@peterlenham3180 the fastest recorded speed for a human is 27 miles an hour. NFL players rarely hit 21. I highly highly doubt he's faster than Tyreek 'The Cheetah' Hill.
You should absolutely check out the extended cut of this movie sometime. There are some awesome plot and things that are cut that add so much to the story.
@CristyReacts I recently discovered your channel and I just want to say how amazing it is that you've reacted to so many movies i've watched and loved! To name a few, seeing your videos on Star Wars, The Marvel Cinematic Franchise, and now the Terminator franchise have been so fun to watch. Your reactions make revisiting these different films i've watched even more fun.
He wouldn't just disappear when Dyson and the equipment were killed because as long as he still exists they could learn from him and start it all over.
The effects in T2 stand up so well because it was a new technology, those doing it understood it backwards and they really cared about getting right for this project, and not just the next job on the list to be delivered as fast as possible as cheaply as possible. Few movies have taken similar care since. BTW, I don't want to worry you but it is something of a myth that an AI must become 'self aware' in order to result in a Terminator or Matrix type scenario. The good news is that such self awareness is extremely unlikely to ever happen. The bad news is that there is absolutely no need for it to in order for a sufficiently complex and unrestrained AI to exhibit the same behaviour.
This Thanksgiving I am thankful for Cristy, and all the joy and entertainment she gives us with her reaction videos. Thank you so much Cristy. And thank you so much for this T2 reaction. It's nice to see aomeone react to this film the way it was meant to be seen. When the movie came out there was way too much leaked and we knew Arnold was the good guy. It was fun to watch you react as you figured out what was really going on! You're definitely one of my favorites! Thank you. I appreciate all that you do! Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!!
"It's a felony to impersonate an officer!" Mwaha, like Skynet would be like "Let's programme this T-1000 unit to go back in time and kill John Connor, but also to obey the law. We can't have him running around causing havoc back there." 😀You're so sweet Cristy!! And I love how you called him Uncle Bob throughout the movie! Thanks for uploading! Greetings from Sweden
I was 23 when T2 hit the theaters and I couldn't wait, I remember the trailer on TV and it said "you won't believe your eyes" and they were right, it was special effects nobody had ever seen before. I heard that Arny would only agree to doing T2 was if their was less killing in it, I have no idea if it's fact. It took you more time than anybody too realize that Arny was a good guy lol. I love it when you speak in Spanish grrrrrrrrrr. 👍👍
It looks better than modern CGI because. 1. The visual effects are almost all practical. Probably only the T-1000 effects are CGI. 2. Where they do use CGI, they don't bite off more than they can chew. 3. They worked extremely hard at all of the visual effects.
To be precise, when both were in the scene, Leslie played Sarah, while Linda played the T-1000. Linda was the only real actor of the two, and in that scene, the T-1000 required more acting. I don't think Leslie was needed for the dream sequence, because the scene cut between the two versions of her, but if you watch the extended version, there is a scene that needed a mirror image of Sarah, and Leslie was used for that.
@@CristyReactsevery instance where you see two of the same person on screen is this way. Every scene with Two Sarahs is Linda and Leslie. The Hospital guard and the T-1000 copying him are also twins.
The impersonation of the hospital guard was also done by his own twin brother. But it was shot as if it was a special effect with the camera pan. Which I thought was funny and clever.
Hi Christy! That is very cool sunglasses! You look great with the sunglasses (and also without them). Thank you for another, as always, great reaction.
The most impressive practical effect in the film gets 0 notice today. They actually flew that helicopter under the highway overpasses. Took two weeks of planning and prep to get those shots.
"Somehow it looks better than modern CGI" that's becuse a lot of it is practical. If they could do it for real, they did it for real. That T1000 head split in the hospital was a practical effect. Only his head coming back together was CGI. That helicopter flying under the overpass.. also real. Not a model not CGI.
My interpretation of the terminator going through the different characters, is not exactly that it is morphing, but as it is dissolving in the vat of non-programmable alloys, it starts losing its ability to keep its shape, so attempts going through the different shapes it has archived, attempting to find one that can maintain, but all fail and ends being dissolved/terminated.
T3 was pretty decent. The rest of them went off on a tangent. This is one of favorite movie franchises, so I might be able to give some unique commentary on some of your comments: 24:48 When they shoot Robert Patrick (the T-1000 who is liquid metal) in scenes like the mall hallway and such, there are physical pieces on his clothing that popped open for each bullet hit and they timed it with each shot. So that part actually isn't CGI and looks real because it was. 37:30 The explosion triggered the fire suppression system. It's Bromotrifluoromethane, which most people haven't heard of. Halon systems are now banned primarily due to its harmful environmental impact. It depletes the ozone layer, so production was banned globally in the 1990's, although existing systems can still be used I think. Some places have upgraded and the gas had to be captured similarly to how Freon also has to be captured from old HVAC systems, vehicles, etc. 41:08 Tear gas. The chemicals irritate your eyes, nose, throat, lungs, etc. It's actually more of a pressurized powder of chemicals that creates a mist and not actually a gas per se. I think it can also burn skin and is much worse for kids. 41:30 The only place that I know of that you could have seen that is T2-3D: Battle Across Time aka Terminator 2: 3D that was an attraction at Universal Studios in Florida, Hollywood and Japan.The version of the show in Hollywood ended up early 2013 I think. Ever been to one of those? I'm not sure if the others are still open. 44:50 James Camera modeled the T-1000 after Mercury metal, but of course Mercury is toxic. Gallium metal is almost similar and melts at our body temperature, oddly enough. 49:05 I'm not sure if they modified the pump shotgun to make it easier for Sarah to do one-handed (I've personally never shot one, so I'm not familiar with how hard it would have been for her). The flip of the shotgun that Arnold did was only possible because they altered the gun to make it far easier. Realistically, an unaltered gun could probably break fingers trying to flip it one-handed like he did on the motorcycle. I think this was based off from a similar gun flip in a (John Wayne?) movie that was done on a horse, if I remember correctly. I suspect that they probably altered that one, too.
Hello Cristy!😊 Happy Thanksgiving!🦃 Halon gas is a fire suppressant. The CGI with the new Terminator was actually invented for this film, and had not been used before. When James Cameron wrote the story the technology did not exist yet, but he new they would be able to create it in the near future. This is my favorite out of the first two films. There are two sets of twins in the film that made the film easier to shoot. Linda Hamilton's twin sister appears near the end as the Terminator impersonating her. The guard's twin brother is the floor Terminator that duplicates his appearance. Great reactions to your second Terminator film, Cristy!!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Kick ass, Childs Play, Childs Play 2, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, The Mask, etc are a few recommendations for reactions I recommend if you haven't seen them before
Miles Bennet Dyson is one of the most underrated heroes in film history, because he just saved the life of the SWAT Team by holding the fuse as long as he could, and he warn them about the danger.
strong action with a very human message at the end! one of the things I especially like is the complex relationship between john and sarah. and this relationship is exactly the thing in the extended versions of T-2, which the added scenes completely deprive of meaning and spoil. and no only them...
Me encantan tus reacciones cuando estás confundida. Y también me encanta cuando usas palabras en español o cuando escuchas diálogos en español en una película. ❤️ By: One of your new fan 😉
This movie came out in 1991 and the effects - especially the T-1000 - were groundbreaking at the time. It was said to be set in 1995, making John 10 years old. There is some debate, but ultimately it can't be set after August 4 1997 (the date Skynet is activated) as Dyson was still working on the system. Also don't forget, Uncle Bob left one of his own arms behind, meaning despite Dyson's death, destroying all his work, the T-1000, the chip and arm from the original Terminator and Uncle Bob himself, there's still some future tech left for someone else to investigate and work with...
The arm was just a chunk of metal, it was the all important main processor that sparked the revolution in computing that allowed Skynet to come into being and both were totally destroyed in the molten steel.
As for the time travel paradox... yes, killing Dyson and destroying his research would have prevented that particular future from ever occuring, making the Terminator orphaned in the past. He'd literally be from a timeline that no longer exists. Skynet would no lomger be sending assassins back in time, if it never gets created in the first place. But they managed to accomplish the same thing without murdering him.
A legendary, groundbreaking classic - and still a real hit today: sensational sci-fi action from James Cameron. “Terminator 2”, also known simply as ‘T2’, was the first film to cost over 90 million US dollars to produce. It grossed around 520 million US dollars worldwide. When you consider that the 1991 film (!) featured such blatant special effects that had never been seen before, even today you can't help but be stunned.
Don't feel bad about not noticing the switch between good/bad Terminators. They did it on purpose to mess with the viewers and it's a great reveal. I hope you make it to the one with Christopher Bale. The whole franchise is a fun ride if you just enjoy the movies for entertainment value.
That nuclear dream she has is basically what everybody was dreaming about back in the day. Well, nightmares anyway… I used to have them pretty regularly, some even worse than what you seeing In this movie.. So yeah, when the movie was released, it was relatable , Pretty much what people were thinking about.. Mind you I was a kid, but still I would have them pretty regularly. Still from time to time I have them not like I used to though
There was nothing to fear if you simply learned to "duck and cover". You teacher's should have taught you that. The Cuban Missile Crisis was a trip, though. (The lesson you missed is located at ruclips.net/video/IKqXu-5jw60/видео.html )
I never dreamed about nuclear war, but I did work on preventing a worst case version. Reagan proposed a "star wars" missile defense program in the 1980's, which I worked on. Russia was convinced that the nation that beat them to the Moon could do anything if we put our minds to it. Rather than compete with us, which would bankrupt their country, they came to the negotiating table and worked out an nuclear arms reduction treaty. Today we have interceptor missiles and battlefield lasers that further reduce how many targets would get blown up.
The transformation of Sarah Connor is one of the best things about this movie. You saw here in the first one being weak and scared because she didn't know what was going on. But now, she has had to live with that knowledge and know she has to start learning and preparing, so she makes herself tough and courageous. It's amazing. Also, there is more depth to the characters.
This movie was a huge landmark as far as CGI goes. It was a huge jump in quality and how extensively it was used. There were movies before it that used some CGI, of course, but none that used it as much as this movie did. It marked a new era. There’s before Terminator 2, and after Terminator 2. It was a huge deal in that department.
The problem is that they haven't necessarily changed the future. Because in the factory at the end, an arm from the second Terminator is stuck between the gears again. But they never took up this thematically in the following films. So it would still be possible for the arm to be found and someone else to bring the Terminator/Skynet back to life.
People often mention that, but that arm would have been crushed to bits, not intact like the arm at Cyberdyne. I don't think there would be anything to learn from a mangled piece of metal.
@@j.m.marshall669 Yes, that is within the realm of possibility, you are right. But it would have been a good way to justify the further films. Because for me there was no more worthy part after the second one.
@@Holy1974 well in T3 they just sort of said screw the whole no fate thing, Judgment Day is inevitable and you can only postpone it. I would say that Judgment Day probably was an eventuality, you can slow it down but it will come one day. Some lessons need to be learned the hard way.
I never get tired of watching people's reactions when they realize that Arnie is the good guy in this one, although you did take a bit longer to realize it than most people. Fun fact: The American Film Institute (AFI) included the Terminator on both their list of Top 50 villains (Terminator 1) and top 50 heroes (Terminator 2). The line where the Terminator says he can't self terminate (you didn't include it) was added in post. During early screenings, people wondered why he didn't just jump into molten metal, so Cameron had Arnie come back into the studio to record the line. You should watch T3 now. Not as good as the first two, but not as bad as the haters claim, and it does wrap up the original trilogy. Plus, it has one of the greatest chase scenes ever filmed.
1. Linda Hamilton should have been at least an Acadamy Award for best actress. 🤩 2. My guess is that stove is hot🧐 3. We have limited AI now, so does China.😱😱 4. Arnold did many, but not all of his own stunts in this movie, including riding the motorcycle. At one point he was injured, and they had to stop production for a couple of weeks so he could recover. 5. Arnold is not left-handed, but the way he works that shotgun is impressive😲 6. The twin security guards also play in "Good Morning Vietnam". 7. GOOF: Enrique's dogs don't respond to "Uncle Bob" as a Terminator. 8. "I need a vacation" was ad lib. 9. This is the action movie GOAT.🤩
7: The dogs of the future were trained to notice terminators. Much like dogs of today can sniff out bombs and drugs. Max was upset because he witnessed the murder of his owners. The dog in the first movie at the motel was a likely a guard dog anyway, but the barking triggered Kyle into noticing a threat.
@@dandotvid You can hear the dog bark already when the T-1000 first visited the foster parents to ask for John's picture. How would they even train dogs in the future to spot terminators?
By the way, I forgot to mention that there are excellent movies from the 90's that are very impressive: Seven, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, The Devil's Advocate, Leon The Professional, Bram Stoker's Dracula, These are some of the many good movies
When the T1000 is in the pool of molten metal and is morphing from one form to another, I have always assumed that to be that he was desperately trying to find a form that could tolerate the environment that he was in.
T2 is a great movie. I still remember seeing it for the first time. I'm glad you enjoyed it. You should check out the extended cut. It has extra scenes and an alternative ending.
Love this movie, was so amazing seeing in theaters!!!! I was blown away!!!🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯The other films are just average at best, up to you if you want to see them on your own or not.✨✨🌟🌟⭐⭐🌠🌠

The rest of the movies vary in quality but none are as good as the first two.
If you want more Terminator, the TV show, The Sarah Connor Chronicles, is quite good and it takes place after T2.
T-3 is okay the rest no, IMO
@@edpublicT-3 answers a primary question. I don't know if the TV Terminators deal with the issue T-3 resolves. She needs to watch T-3 even if she doesn't react to it.
In the scene where she can't bring herself to kill Dyson. It's not because she doesn't have the heart to kill, it's that she realized she's doing exactly what the Machines did to her: Targeted him for execution to stop something he hasn't done and was ultimately rather relentless and uncaring about how she did it: Just like the T-800 from the first movie. It was a subtle dichotomy, the Machine is learning how to be more human while Sarah is operating more and more like the Machine.
One tell is that the background music in that scene is the drum-heavy theme that usually accompanies the Terminator's appearance. Sarah is the Terminator in that moment, killing a human in an effort to try to change the future
Hi Cristy. In the extended version Michael Biehn (Kyle Reese) appears in Sarah’s nightmares. A few years after T2 my younger brother encountered Linda Hamilton with her assistant on the streets of Vancouver. He awkwardly asked for an autograph and Linda said okay. My brother sat on bus stop bench, fumbling in his bag for something for her to write on. Linda calmed him down rubbing his shoulder, ignoring her assistant who was telling her to leave my brother behind. My brother got her autograph with a wonderful memory of how friendly and gracious Linda Hamilton was.
She always struck me as a very genuine person, and this kind of reaffirms what I thought.
@40:30 Imagine being the commanding officer that has to write up an incident report on how one guy took out an entire SWAT squad.
"So the entire team opened fire on him, the bullets bounced off him, and then he decided to treat all our kneecaps like target practice"
People will tell you that Robert Patrick trained intensively to do the running stunts himself for this movie, but did you know he also trained his body to transform into liquid metal? That's really him absorbing those shotgun slugs with his mimetic polyalloy frame. Dude's dedication to the craft is unreal.
Wow! very impressive. I wanna learn to do that.
@@CristyReacts It really needs a lot of practice. It took me years to do it with my hands. But keep training.
He is the ultimate method actor. In Reacher he actually fell from the helicopter and died to make a realistic shot.
I always have to give credit to the character of Miles Dyson. From Frankenstein to Jurassic Park the "sceintist" characters all insist they can fix their run away creations. But Miles doesn't hesitate to destroy his lifes work rather than risk the possibility of his creation becoming a monster . Giving his very life to save the future.
It was also Joe Morton's idea to gasp for air in his death scene. He was in a car accident which resulted in a collapsed lung, making it difficult to breathe. Cameron liked the idea and told him to do it in the scene.
It was Linda Hamilton’s idea that Sarah should be in great shape, because (as you said) she’s prepping for the war. James Cameron hadn’t considered this, so he didn’t have a personal trainer for her. So Arnold volunteered to be her personal trainer.
I believe she also learned how to actually pick locks with a paperclip for the escape sequence.
Linda gave her all for this roll, and the results speak for themselves. Robert Patrick as the T-1000 also went above and beyond for his roll. Both of their performances deserved Oscars.
@@dwaneanderson8039Oscars aren’t for physical preparation. The acting is not Oscar-level in this movie.
It's an urban myth that Arnold Schwarzenegger trained Linda Hamilton for Terminator 2. She had a personal trainer named Anthony Cortes. From a 1991 Entertainment Weekly article. (Not linking because doing so sometimes prevents comments from showing).
_"Hamilton, 34, was a recent mother (her son, Dalton Abbott, is now 20 months old) with a few pounds of baby fat left when personal trainer Anthony Cortes began working with her last summer, 13 weeks before T2 shooting started. They trained for three hours a day, six days a week, usually in the garage of the actress’ Santa Monica home. Hamilton also shed 12 pounds on a nonfat diet that revolved around cereal with skim milk, chicken, and dry salads. The regimen continued throughout the grueling six-month shoot. Her drills included aerobic exercise (running, biking, swimming, or stair-climbing) followed by free weights interspersed with mini-trampoline work - and, for dessert, walking lunges or an abdominal series."_
@@maxducoudraythe acting definitely was Oscar worthy because it’s not easy acting like an unstoppable killing machine
The first $100 million movie, folks. When you use your budget wisely, the work holds up.
I thought Jaws was the first 100 million dollar movie? Im not sure but I do know jaws was the first ever summer blockbuster movie that started that trend.
@@billclay9489 he's talking about budget, not box office.
No that was The Ten Commandments, allowing for inflation.
@@mrglasses8953 No. Adjusting for inflation, you have to compare to 1991. Ten Commandments cost 13million in 1955, which is 66something million in 1991.
@@billclay9489 I think it was.
You're so lucky that the twist wasn't spoiled for you. That made it more fun to watch your reaction.
The twist being that Arnold was a good guy this time??
@@CristyReacts Yes. When this movie was released in theaters, _all_ of the trailers spoiled that Arnold's terminator was a good guy this time. Nobody seeing it in 1991 got to experience that moment of realization while watching the film. Usually this happens in the hallway scene, but it was cute to see you try so valiantly to conjure reasons for a bad Arnie to not kill John right away.
@@chrissmalley83Cameron was Not Happy about that. Still to this day Directors don't have any say over the Trailers.
Terminator genisis did the same thing. Spoiling a big plot point
@@clarkness77 Lol yeah, I remember seeing the trailer for Terminator: Genisys and going "Oh cool, now I don't have to watch the movie!" Then I didn't.
And they wonder why it failed.
I can't believe it took you until Arnold said his mission was to protect you to figure out he's not going to kill him 😅
I KNOWWWWwwww
my flabbers were gasted for sure
Lol, yeah. The best part of watching people react to this movie is when Arnold protects the kid and they realize he's the good guy, and that whole scene just flew right over her head.
I thought he was trying to TAKE him to the future or something!
@@CristyReacts You said that. I got it.😊
The surprise switcheroo of terminators was intentional, but alas, when marketing got hold of the film, their big platform was "This time, Arnold's the hero!" for several months before the film was released.
Ya that's fucked. They spoil one of the greatest twists ever. Luckily I wasn't really tuned in to watching trailers or anything so when I first saw it I was blown away when Arnie was the good guy and it was so awesome. I never watch trailers anymore because they either give away the plot twist or show the best part of the whole movie in the trailer. Oh and don't even look at the poster art because they will show a character who was supposed to be dead on it.
"I say your civilization, because as soon as we started thinking for you it really became our civilization, which is of course what this is all about." - Agent Smith - The Matrix.
I love that reactors come into this not knowing he’s the good guy. That was ruined for all of us from advertising before the film came out
I am more bafffled how they are surprised since the whole buildup, especially through the music, the light etc. gives that away basically from the start ... Makes me think most of them probably just fake it.
I loved so much that when Sarah went to go see Enrique, your Spanish came out. I've just started learning Spanish and it made me see how amazing it is that you are SO fluent in English! This movie is in a class of sequels that are as good as or better than the original. Aliens, Godfather 2, etc.
Thanks for the great reaction!
How I miss this era where in the movies, many scenes were filmed in a real way, like the scenes of the trucks, the explosion of the building, the helicopter, all that real, without so much abuse of CGI as it is done today, although this film has scenes with CGI, but they combine them with practical effects, which makes those scenes look more realistic with FX.
As much as CGI costs today, it's still far less money than many practical effects at today's prices. That's why CGI is used so much for things that could be done without it. Plus it removes the danger to actors and stunt professionals.
Indeed, some insane (highly skilled but insane) stuntman flew that helicopter under that bridge for the chase scene. Just incredible!
"Come with me if you want to live." are the exact words Kyle said to Sarah when he 1st came to her in the club.
There are a few other lines repeated from the first movie.
"I'll be back." Both times he returns by driving into a building.
"Get out." Both times to someone who then immediately exits the vehicle.
"I love you. I always have." Kyle to Sarah, then Sarah to John.
Thanks Captain obvious 😅
Your reaction shows that you had a LOT of fun watching this!
Thanks for letting all of us share this journey of your first experience with Terminator 2!
The difference in visuals is massive, should be though going from the small $6.4 million budget of the first one to $94-102 million on the second, plus advancements in CGI over the years. Still really impressive though what they managed to do with the first film's small budget.
Charles Tamburro, the helicopter pilot who flew under that bridge is a qualified mad lad.
I read that no of the camera crews were willingly to get close enough for that scene and Cameron has to film it himself. (Could be wrong though).
I love small details like the handwritten note on the piece of tape or whatever it was on Dyson’s computer monitor that said “Bit Happens”
From an article, 3 Ways That Halon Can Be Dangerous: "There are a number of health risks associated with the use of Halon extinguishing agents. These include the following:
• Frostbite: Skin that comes in contact with the liquid of Halon can cause frostbite and chilled skin issues.
• Suffocation: High concentrations of Halon can cause people to suffocate. This is because it can create an oxygen-deficient environment.
• Eye and Skin Irritation: Since Halon is toxic, it can cause damage to skin and eye. Irritation can occur even if there is no direct contact with Halon.
• Cardiac Sensitization: Halon can cause an increased heart rate and irregular heartbeats in response to adrenaline. It can even cause a heart attack in extreme cases.
• Interruption of the Central Nervous System: Inhalation of high concentrations of Halon can interfere with the proper functionality of central nervous system. In such cases, symptoms of tingling sensation and dizziness is expected. A victim can even go unconscious in some cases.
Most of the health hazards listed above occur when exposed to Halon 1211. However, they can also occur in case of Halon 1301."
well thank you mr. Science Guy. LOL j/k i enjoyed the info. Just messing with you.
Great reaction to one of the best sequels ever!
Some notes about the movie:
The man taking pictures while looked stunned in the mall is the same character (and actor) who was the police officer that Arnold took the police car from in his pursuit of Kyle and Sarah in the first movie. That's why he looks stunned: he knows who this guy is and he knows the damage and killing he was responsible for the last time he saw him. He's also the source of the current day photos the officers show Sarah in Pescadero. It's not mentioned or referred to in any editions, but it is an Easter Egg that a friend of mine showed me.
Robert Patrick trained so hard for this role as the T-1000. Training to fire a gun without the reflexive blink. Learning to run full speed only breathing through his nose, and he was fast enough a sprinter that he actually caught the dirt bike in the mall parking garage. He was so amazingly intimidating in this movie, as much as or even more so than Arnold, and that's saying something!
When the orderly licks Sarah in the hospital, that was apparently one of the so-called catatonia tests done by unethical or sadistic orderlies according to an old friend of mine who had worked in a few psych hospitals, mainly in California, back in the late 70s and early 80s. It wasn't unusual for patients to try to get an advantage by pretending to be catatonic, hoping that the staff would think that they were out of it and not pay much attention so they could try to escape, create havoc, or whatever. Licking someone's face was a mild way of testing, according to my friend. The more standard way of testing among the more brutal orderlies was what was called a cup check, basically hitting the person in the crotch as hard as they could with a broomstick or something like that (the tonfa, shown in the movie, or a billyclub, wasn't standard when he was working in the field, so the evil jerks had to use other items like broomsticks or knees). If they didn't react then they were catatonic. And, sometimes, the catatonic patients needed to be taken to the hospital due to the damage inflicted by whatever the orderly did causing ruptures or internal damage. Apparently one patient lost his testicles as it was several days before it was realized how badly he had been hurt. And, of course, no one ever knew how it happened. “He musta fallen, or done it to himself to try to get out of here.” My friend never missed that job. He told me that some people did things worse than that, but those stories don't need repeating.
There are two sets of twins in this movie. One set are the brothers who played the security guard at Pescadero and the T-1000 imitating him. The other set are Linda Hamilton and her twin sister Lesley who played the other Sarah in the sequences like the nightmare where there are two of her are in the same scene. Lesley, a nurse in real life, passed away a few years ago.
There was a scene of the T-101 learning to smile that was cut from the theater edition cos it doesn't add anything of value to the story, but it does lead to a point that amused me once I saw it. After the failure copying the young man's smile unsuccessfully, the Terminator begins copying John's mannerisms and his one sided half smirk smile. This is best seen in the exchange after he hefts the minigun in Sarah's arms bunker and when he tells John "Trust me." before he goes to scare the police.
I remember learning that Cameron got a letter from a group of scientists congratulating him for the most realistic depiction of a nuclear detonation in a city in Sarah's nightmare. This horrified him since he was just trying to create the most over the top terrifying image he could, only to discover that it was accurate.
Luckily, Sarah stepped back from Terminator mode before killing Dyson, which is good. Killing Dyson wouldn't have changed much of anything anyway. Cyberdyne still would have had the parts, all his notes, and everything they needed to complete the project. Judgment Day would have come, just on a different day other than Michael Jackson's (and my little sister's) birthday. The excellent Joe Morton, who played Dyson, had an accident that punctured one of his lungs when he was younger, so he knew firsthand how Dyson should be breathing/gasping at the end.
And, when you get right down to it, the biggest damn hero in this movie was Miles Dyson. When faced with the reality of what his creation will be used for he changes from dispassionate scientist and loyal company man to willing participant who willingly sacrifices his life for the future. He's even more heroic in that he gives the SWAT team who have mortally wounded him the chance to escape and save their lives.
To me, the extended edition had two advantages over the standard edition. Though it wasn't obvious in its performance, the continuous damage the T-1000 was taking from every shot that hit it and every impact was affecting it. It is most obvious at the scene in the smelting plant after being shattered when, as shown in the theater release, its feet tended to take on the aspect of the flooring as it walked and, in the extended edition, when it grabbed a railing its hand mimicked the paint job on the railing. Also, in the extended edition, at the final scene when Sarah is calling out for John, he looks down and sees that the fake Sarah's feet look like the ironwork that the T-1000 is standing on and he knows for sure which to trust.
The extended edition variant ending is also superior (to me) for one more reason: it ends with older Sarah sitting on a playground bench and watching her adult son playing with her granddaughter, meaning that this Terminator movie is absolutely the end of the franchise, and all the movies that steal the name of the series after this are just lame cash grabs and can and should be avoided like the plague, in my opinion.
the subverted expectation of Arnold being the protector in this blew my mind as well
It’s too bad that the trailer actually spoiled this. 😂
I can’t believe it took you that long to realize that the T100 was trying to kill John, and the old terminator is trying to save him… he tried to run him over lol
In the extended version there’s a great scene where Arnold is learning how to smile, it’s pretty damn funny. The scene where the liquid Terminator jumps to the helicopter and the effect of him pouring into the cockpit is a very similar effect used in The Abyss. A Hames Cameron film that’s also really good and you would love it.
The interesting thing about Sarah Conner in this movie is, when we first find her, she’s so obsessed with saving humanity that she’s lost her own sense of humanity and has become more machine than human. She’s completely dissociated in the psych hospital, she’s cold towards her son (whom she hasn’t seen in a long time), and she nearly murders an innocent man in cold blood. And it’s not until she’s faced with the real option of killing Miles Dyson that she finally snaps out of it. And it’s in that moment, when she breaks down and John goes to her…that she finally looks at John as a mother.
They used a lot of practical effects in this movie, which is why you said it somehow looks better than current CGI
"Sarah Connor" Linda Hamilton gave me a big hug at FanX in Salt Lake City. I've had a crush on her since the 1980s. She is so kind and friendly. She worked so hard for her roles. She is really impressive.
Stan Winston did a lot of the practical effects in this movie. James Cameron mentions in the commentary that the scene in the hospital, where the security guard morphs up out of the floor was one of the first digital effects shots in the film. That shot was going to decide how much CGI vs Practical Effects they did in the movie. Fortunately, it turned out great. :)
Robert Patrick who played the liquid metal T 1000 also played Davey Scatino in season 2 of the Sopranos. Just checked to see you are least in season 3 so this wouldn't be a spoiler for you. Remember he plays a boyhood friend of Tony's who owns a good business but is not mob connected. He is a compulsive gambler who borrows money from them and litterly loses everything. Love all your reactions!!
Fun fact: Robert Patric(t1000) actually outran the dirtbike they had to tell him to not run as fast
Sure. But the dirt bike was going slow so they could film it ;)
@@Dragon-BelieverHe actually ran at 40mph.
@@peterlenham3180 lol. Almost twice as fast as Usain Bolt? That really is fast.
@Dragon-Believer Well, that's what I read. Whether that is true or not, is debatable. Whatever his speed, he was fast.
@peterlenham3180 the fastest recorded speed for a human is 27 miles an hour. NFL players rarely hit 21. I highly highly doubt he's faster than Tyreek 'The Cheetah' Hill.
T2 is pretty much peak cinema for me - a fantastic mix of CGI and practical effects that all hold up well all these years later!
You should absolutely check out the extended cut of this movie sometime. There are some awesome plot and things that are cut that add so much to the story.
So true, but imo it's also true that most of the deleted material is better seen in a re-watch than when seeing the movie for the very first time.
@CristyReacts I recently discovered your channel and I just want to say how amazing it is that you've reacted to so many movies i've watched and loved! To name a few, seeing your videos on Star Wars, The Marvel Cinematic Franchise, and now the Terminator franchise have been so fun to watch. Your reactions make revisiting these different films i've watched even more fun.
He wouldn't just disappear when Dyson and the equipment were killed because as long as he still exists they could learn from him and start it all over.
The effects in T2 stand up so well because it was a new technology, those doing it understood it backwards and they really cared about getting right for this project, and not just the next job on the list to be delivered as fast as possible as cheaply as possible. Few movies have taken similar care since.
BTW, I don't want to worry you but it is something of a myth that an AI must become 'self aware' in order to result in a Terminator or Matrix type scenario. The good news is that such self awareness is extremely unlikely to ever happen. The bad news is that there is absolutely no need for it to in order for a sufficiently complex and unrestrained AI to exhibit the same behaviour.
This Thanksgiving I am thankful for Cristy, and all the joy and entertainment she gives us with her reaction videos. Thank you so much Cristy. And thank you so much for this T2 reaction. It's nice to see aomeone react to this film the way it was meant to be seen. When the movie came out there was way too much leaked and we knew Arnold was the good guy. It was fun to watch you react as you figured out what was really going on! You're definitely one of my favorites! Thank you. I appreciate all that you do! Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Hi Cristy, i think we waiting for your reaction of the sequels ❤
"It's a felony to impersonate an officer!" Mwaha, like Skynet would be like "Let's programme this T-1000 unit to go back in time and kill John Connor, but also to obey the law. We can't have him running around causing havoc back there." 😀You're so sweet Cristy!! And I love how you called him Uncle Bob throughout the movie!
Thanks for uploading! Greetings from Sweden

I was 23 when T2 hit the theaters and I couldn't wait, I remember the trailer on TV and it said "you won't believe your eyes" and they were right, it was special effects nobody had ever seen before.
I heard that Arny would only agree to doing T2 was if their was less killing in it, I have no idea if it's fact. It took you more time than anybody too realize that Arny was a good guy lol. I love it when you speak in Spanish grrrrrrrrrr. 👍👍
It looks better than modern CGI because.
1. The visual effects are almost all practical. Probably only the T-1000 effects are CGI.
2. Where they do use CGI, they don't bite off more than they can chew.
3. They worked extremely hard at all of the visual effects.
Classic Gibbons! 😂
My favorite part of your reaction "I love Uncle Bob". Priceless!
The T-1000 impersonation of Sarah at the end was played by Linda Hamilton’s twin sister Leslie.
Whoa! That's cool
also in her playground dream
To be precise, when both were in the scene, Leslie played Sarah, while Linda played the T-1000. Linda was the only real actor of the two, and in that scene, the T-1000 required more acting.
I don't think Leslie was needed for the dream sequence, because the scene cut between the two versions of her, but if you watch the extended version, there is a scene that needed a mirror image of Sarah, and Leslie was used for that.
@@CristyReactsevery instance where you see two of the same person on screen is this way. Every scene with Two Sarahs is Linda and Leslie. The Hospital guard and the T-1000 copying him are also twins.
@@Yngvarfo it is Leslie in the park scene too. You can tell because she isn't as Jacked as Linda.

‘Impersonating an officer is a felony!’

The impersonation of the hospital guard was also done by his own twin brother.
But it was shot as if it was a special effect with the camera pan. Which I thought was funny and clever.
It took her half movie to understand who is the good guy lol 🤦🏼♂️
Hi Christy! That is very cool sunglasses! You look great with the sunglasses (and also without them). Thank you for another, as always, great reaction.
"I really like AI."
Get that in at the start.
Don't want to get on the AI's "naughty list"
This was a great reaction. I have never seen a reactor so invested in Arnold being the bad guy :D
The most impressive practical effect in the film gets 0 notice today.
They actually flew that helicopter under the highway overpasses. Took two weeks of planning and prep to get those shots.
I've seen plenty of reactions that point it out. And yes, the pilot was an absolute madman.
Halon is a fire extinguishing agent that won't harm electronics.
You don't want to breathe it.
"Somehow it looks better than modern CGI" that's becuse a lot of it is practical. If they could do it for real, they did it for real. That T1000 head split in the hospital was a practical effect. Only his head coming back together was CGI. That helicopter flying under the overpass.. also real. Not a model not CGI.
My interpretation of the terminator going through the different characters, is not exactly that it is morphing, but as it is dissolving in the vat of non-programmable alloys, it starts losing its ability to keep its shape, so attempts going through the different shapes it has archived, attempting to find one that can maintain, but all fail and ends being dissolved/terminated.

@@crawdaddy1234 HAH! Got 'em.
My favorite movie of all time. I watched this so much as a kid the VCR ate the VHS tape
Wore mine out...
T3 was pretty decent. The rest of them went off on a tangent. This is one of favorite movie franchises, so I might be able to give some unique commentary on some of your comments:
24:48 When they shoot Robert Patrick (the T-1000 who is liquid metal) in scenes like the mall hallway and such, there are physical pieces on his clothing that popped open for each bullet hit and they timed it with each shot. So that part actually isn't CGI and looks real because it was.
37:30 The explosion triggered the fire suppression system. It's Bromotrifluoromethane, which most people haven't heard of. Halon systems are now banned primarily due to its harmful environmental impact. It depletes the ozone layer, so production was banned globally in the 1990's, although existing systems can still be used I think. Some places have upgraded and the gas had to be captured similarly to how Freon also has to be captured from old HVAC systems, vehicles, etc.
41:08 Tear gas. The chemicals irritate your eyes, nose, throat, lungs, etc. It's actually more of a pressurized powder of chemicals that creates a mist and not actually a gas per se. I think it can also burn skin and is much worse for kids.
41:30 The only place that I know of that you could have seen that is T2-3D: Battle Across Time aka Terminator 2: 3D that was an attraction at Universal Studios in Florida, Hollywood and Japan.The version of the show in Hollywood ended up early 2013 I think. Ever been to one of those? I'm not sure if the others are still open.
44:50 James Camera modeled the T-1000 after Mercury metal, but of course Mercury is toxic. Gallium metal is almost similar and melts at our body temperature, oddly enough.
49:05 I'm not sure if they modified the pump shotgun to make it easier for Sarah to do one-handed (I've personally never shot one, so I'm not familiar with how hard it would have been for her). The flip of the shotgun that Arnold did was only possible because they altered the gun to make it far easier. Realistically, an unaltered gun could probably break fingers trying to flip it one-handed like he did on the motorcycle. I think this was based off from a similar gun flip in a (John Wayne?) movie that was done on a horse, if I remember correctly. I suspect that they probably altered that one, too.
Hello Cristy!😊 Happy Thanksgiving!🦃 Halon gas is a fire suppressant. The CGI with the new Terminator was actually invented for this film, and had not been used before. When James Cameron wrote the story the technology did not exist yet, but he new they would be able to create it in the near future. This is my favorite out of the first two films. There are two sets of twins in the film that made the film easier to shoot. Linda Hamilton's twin sister appears near the end as the Terminator impersonating her. The guard's twin brother is the floor Terminator that duplicates his appearance. Great reactions to your second Terminator film, Cristy!!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Kick ass, Childs Play, Childs Play 2, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, The Mask, etc are a few recommendations for reactions I recommend if you haven't seen them before
Miles Bennet Dyson is one of the most underrated heroes in film history, because he just saved the life of the SWAT Team by holding the fuse as long as he could, and he warn them about the danger.
strong action with a very human message at the end! one of the things I especially like is the complex relationship between john and sarah. and this relationship is exactly the thing in the extended versions of T-2, which the added scenes completely deprive of meaning and spoil. and no only them...
Me encantan tus reacciones cuando estás confundida.

The reaction was simply incomparable and amazing👏👏👏👏👏. And special thanks for this moment 29:21-29:27.
This movie came out in 1991 and the effects - especially the T-1000 - were groundbreaking at the time. It was said to be set in 1995, making John 10 years old. There is some debate, but ultimately it can't be set after August 4 1997 (the date Skynet is activated) as Dyson was still working on the system.
Also don't forget, Uncle Bob left one of his own arms behind, meaning despite Dyson's death, destroying all his work, the T-1000, the chip and arm from the original Terminator and Uncle Bob himself, there's still some future tech left for someone else to investigate and work with...
The arm was just a chunk of metal, it was the all important main processor that sparked the revolution in computing that allowed Skynet to come into being and both were totally destroyed in the molten steel.
T1 crawled so that T2 could run. Glad you liked it. It's the only good Terminator movie that's ever been made.
As for the time travel paradox... yes, killing Dyson and destroying his research would have prevented that particular future from ever occuring, making the Terminator orphaned in the past. He'd literally be from a timeline that no longer exists. Skynet would no lomger be sending assassins back in time, if it never gets created in the first place. But they managed to accomplish the same thing without murdering him.
It's always funny when Arnold lifts that kid up in the air and looks like WTF is that?
Great reaction to one of the greatest sequels of all time! ❤️
A legendary, groundbreaking classic - and still a real hit today: sensational sci-fi action from James Cameron.
“Terminator 2”, also known simply as ‘T2’, was the first film to cost over 90 million US dollars to produce.
It grossed around 520 million US dollars worldwide.
When you consider that the 1991 film (!) featured such blatant special effects that had never been seen before, even today you can't help but be stunned.
12:20 - a round of applause for your little brother who saved the entire human race by lying to a police officer! 👏👏👏
The first 15 mins of this was comedy gold
Don't feel bad about not noticing the switch between good/bad Terminators. They did it on purpose to mess with the viewers and it's a great reveal. I hope you make it to the one with Christopher Bale. The whole franchise is a fun ride if you just enjoy the movies for entertainment value.

The opening alone of Terminator 2 cost more than the entire budget of the first movie.
Uncle Bob needs his own sitcom
Perfect reaction to this iconic masterpiece of a Terminator sequel. That is just as good as the first Terminator movie
The awesome liquid-metal CGI of the T-1000 in T2 was used earlier in the year for the water-based creature in "The Abyss" (also by James Cameron).
That nuclear dream she has is basically what everybody was dreaming about back in the day. Well, nightmares anyway… I used to have them pretty regularly, some even worse than what you seeing In this movie.. So yeah, when the movie was released, it was relatable , Pretty much what people were thinking about.. Mind you I was a kid, but still I would have them pretty regularly. Still from time to time I have them not like I used to though
There was nothing to fear if you simply learned to "duck and cover". You teacher's should have taught you that. The Cuban Missile Crisis was a trip, though.

I never dreamed about nuclear war, but I did work on preventing a worst case version. Reagan proposed a "star wars" missile defense program in the 1980's, which I worked on. Russia was convinced that the nation that beat them to the Moon could do anything if we put our minds to it. Rather than compete with us, which would bankrupt their country, they came to the negotiating table and worked out an nuclear arms reduction treaty. Today we have interceptor missiles and battlefield lasers that further reduce how many targets would get blown up.
The transformation of Sarah Connor is one of the best things about this movie. You saw here in the first one being weak and scared because she didn't know what was going on. But now, she has had to live with that knowledge and know she has to start learning and preparing, so she makes herself tough and courageous. It's amazing. Also, there is more depth to the characters.
20:50 you seem surprised--remember that 'typically the subject being copied is terminated'.
This movie was a huge landmark as far as CGI goes. It was a huge jump in quality and how extensively it was used. There were movies before it that used some CGI, of course, but none that used it as much as this movie did. It marked a new era. There’s before Terminator 2, and after Terminator 2. It was a huge deal in that department.
The problem is that they haven't necessarily changed the future. Because in the factory at the end, an arm from the second Terminator is stuck between the gears again. But they never took up this thematically in the following films. So it would still be possible for the arm to be found and someone else to bring the Terminator/Skynet back to life.
People often mention that, but that arm would have been crushed to bits, not intact like the arm at Cyberdyne. I don't think there would be anything to learn from a mangled piece of metal.
@@j.m.marshall669 Yes, that is within the realm of possibility, you are right. But it would have been a good way to justify the further films. Because for me there was no more worthy part after the second one.
@@Holy1974 well in T3 they just sort of said screw the whole no fate thing, Judgment Day is inevitable and you can only postpone it. I would say that Judgment Day probably was an eventuality, you can slow it down but it will come one day. Some lessons need to be learned the hard way.
Yes Christy. The sunglasses are dope! They are Matsuda!
The "Sarah" in her dream was played by Linda's twin Sister, Leslie (RIP).
I never get tired of watching people's reactions when they realize that Arnie is the good guy in this one, although you did take a bit longer to realize it than most people.
Fun fact: The American Film Institute (AFI) included the Terminator on both their list of Top 50 villains (Terminator 1) and top 50 heroes (Terminator 2).
The line where the Terminator says he can't self terminate (you didn't include it) was added in post. During early screenings, people wondered why he didn't just jump into molten metal, so Cameron had Arnie come back into the studio to record the line.
You should watch T3 now. Not as good as the first two, but not as bad as the haters claim, and it does wrap up the original trilogy. Plus, it has one of the greatest chase scenes ever filmed.
1. Linda Hamilton should have been at least an Acadamy Award for best actress. 🤩
2. My guess is that stove is hot🧐
3. We have limited AI now, so does China.😱😱
4. Arnold did many, but not all of his own stunts in this movie, including riding the motorcycle. At one point he was injured, and they had to stop production for a couple of weeks so he could recover.
5. Arnold is not left-handed, but the way he works that shotgun is impressive😲
6. The twin security guards also play in "Good Morning Vietnam".
7. GOOF: Enrique's dogs don't respond to "Uncle Bob" as a Terminator.
8. "I need a vacation" was ad lib.
9. This is the action movie GOAT.🤩
7: The dogs of the future were trained to notice terminators. Much like dogs of today can sniff out bombs and drugs. Max was upset because he witnessed the murder of his owners. The dog in the first movie at the motel was a likely a guard dog anyway, but the barking triggered Kyle into noticing a threat.
@@dandotvid All of the other dogs in both movies barked at terminators
@@dandotvid You can hear the dog bark already when the T-1000 first visited the foster parents to ask for John's picture. How would they even train dogs in the future to spot terminators?
5:06 "..wow, the special effects looks so much better"
Terminator budget : 6.4 million dollars.
Terminator 2 budget : 102 million dollars.
:)
P.S. I'm glad you knew it was molten metal, some reactors called it LAVA, which is molten rock 😮
Richie knew something when he told to Davey "I just st@b you in the eye"
By the way, I forgot to mention that there are excellent movies from the 90's that are very impressive: Seven, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, The Devil's Advocate, Leon The Professional, Bram Stoker's Dracula,
These are some of the many good movies
When the T1000 is in the pool of molten metal and is morphing from one form to another, I have always assumed that to be that he was desperately trying to find a form that could tolerate the environment that he was in.
T2 is a great movie. I still remember seeing it for the first time. I'm glad you enjoyed it. You should check out the extended cut. It has extra scenes and an alternative ending.
It would be cool to see a movie between 1 and 2. Like how she became so strong.
Love this movie, was so amazing seeing in theaters!!!! I was blown away!!!🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯The other films are just average at best, up to you if you want to see them on your own or not.✨✨🌟🌟⭐⭐🌠🌠
It literally took arnold telling john that he's there to protect him to get you to finally understand.. OMG
This movie never gets old. Always fun to watch.
