I’d seen the movie so many times before realizing Sarah was suddenly seeing herself as the Terminator in Dysons home. Killing an innocent man to manipulate the future. Brilliant!
Fun fact: Robert Patrick (T1000) actually outran Johns bike in the first chase scene, they had to shoot the scene several times. He also trained to shoot guns with both hands as a machine has no natural left/right bias, he also only blinks once or twice while shooting a gun during the whole movie.
Yeah he did a great job shooting and running like a machine. Set the bar pretty high for a lot of actors trying to act like robots (who all blink when they shoot from what I've seen over the years). RP is a savage.
"Aggressively symmetrical" is the perfect description for the T-1000's face, and it took 30 years for someone to say it and finally scratch that itch LOL
The trailers spoiled the "who's the good Terminator". I remembered my brother putting part 1 on then immediately putting on part 2 so I had 0 clue as to who was who. Hell of a surprise for me
@@HkFinn83 To some people, but not everyone. A lot of horror movie sequels go more comedic the second time around. Gotta remember that T1 is a horror movie first and foremost.
My housemate and I lucked out, and didn't see the trailers. Now that I think of it, we didn't really watch television that much so it's not surprising we missed the trailer.
@@HkFinn83 Except the concept of there being two terminators was never revealed, if you dont see the spoilers. So there is no reason for people to assume there would be one good terminator and one bad. The only thing people would think is terminator vs a human
The fact that this movie is over 30 years old, and is still considered to be one of the best, if not the best Sci-Fi movies of all time, is a testament to James Cameron and the people that brought this movie to the big screen.
It's crazy to think about but besides the morphing, and healing vfx The t1000 was mostly practical effects. Even the ending exploded t1000 is a giant spring tensioned puppet.
An interesting thing to keep in mind: The movie was released around the end of the cold war and several generations of people, who lived in fear of nuclear armagedon, got to see their worst nightmare realized with the nuke scene in T2. Also Robert Patrick (T1000) was a track runner and could easily catch up to the bike in the first chase scene.. he had to run slower.
@@cshubs very cat-like. we didn't realize how awesome his performance was until we got a decidedly un-awesome terminator performance in the next movie.
There were several major scenes cut from this theatrical version of the movie. After the doctor shows the med students Sarah, he tells the orderlies to make sure she takes her med and they brutally beat her. That's one of the reasons Sarah hated that one particular orderly so much. Sarah has a dream where Reese appears to her and then she has a version of the apocalypse dream. After being tricked by Arnold's terminator on the phone, the T-1000 goes outside, kills the dog and see the name Max on its collar. It then searches John's room and finds a bundle of mail with the hospital's address on it, which is how it knew where Sarah was. The room search was left out of all but the extreme edition, because Cameron felt that it made the T-1000 look psychic when it searched by running its hands over everything. In the garage, the terminator's line is "My CPU is a neural net processor, a learning computer, but Skynet presets the switch to read-only when we're sent out alone." Sarah sarcastically asks "Doesn't want you to do too much thinking, huh?" and the terminator replies "No." so then John asks if they can reset the switch. This then leads to a sequence where Sarah cuts its scalp open, removes a round plug and pulls out the CPU. While John is looking at the deactivated terminator, Sarah almost smashes the chip. John convinces her not to, although she's not happy about it, and then it cuts to Arnold standing by the window. At the truck stop, John tries to teach the terminator how to smile, but it doesn't go well. This is why the terminator smirks in the bunker when it holds up the minigun, it was practicing. When they go to Cyberdyne, there are scenes of them smashing up the lab, including Miles using an ax to destroy the prototype of the chip he's designing. It's a piece of it that he's holding over the detonator. It was decided that it didn't make much sense for them to manually smash things if they're just going to blow it up anyway. After being frozen, shattered and then reforming, the T-1000 starts to malfunction. It grabs a yellow & black striped railing (you can see it reach for it in the theatrical cut) and its hand gets stuck and also takes on those colors. As it walks, its feet take on the tread pattern of the floor. When it becomes Sarah to try and trick John, its feet are blending into the grating. The only evidence of these problems left in the final film, is the ripple that goes up its body after pinning the terminator's arm in the gear. It was meant to give people hope that it wasn't indestructible, but Cameron was afraid people wouldn't understand that it was screwed up. There's also an alternate ending showing Sarah as an old woman. She's sitting on a park bench, narrating, while an adult John plays with her granddaughter. Sarah says he became a senator.
Oh, so I grew up watching the director's cut!? I was beginning to wonder why so many reactors weren't reacting to those scenes (thought they'd either found them uninteresting and edited them out or I imagined them). I feel like it adds quite a bit to the story, though, I guess I could be a little bias.
One of the things i have always loved about the two first movies, is the character arc of Sarah Connor. Starts of as an innocent young girl, and ends up as a complete badass, without ever being less feminine or less of a mother. One of the greatest heroines in movie history.
True Lies is my favorite Arnie movie. Technically Predator is my favorite, but I don't count it as, to me, it's not an Arnie movie. The Predator himself is too prominent. Arnie is just a support role.
There were actually 2 sets of twins in this. The red headed security guard, at the coffee machine in Pescadero was also played by a set of identical twins. Leslie, Linda Hamilton's twin sadly passed away in 2020.
@@ExUSSailor Those male identical twins were in Good Morning Vietnam with Robin Williams. They played officers who oversees censors of the news before DJ's can say over the air.
In the steel at the end, the liquid metal terminator either burned up, mixed/amalgamated with the steel, vaporized, or some combination of the three. There's no room-temperature liquid metal I'm aware of that will be unaffected by those temperatures. Mercury vaporizes well below that, and gallium forms an alloy with iron.
Apparently the T-1000 is cycling through different forms in its memory as an emergency response in case one marginally more resistant to the heat. It ends by turning itself inside out repeatedly as a last resort heat dissipation strategy (cycling the directly exposed surface area).
in non movie written lore its said that extreme cold and extreme heat are the two weaknesses of the T-1000, each particle of the liquid metal similar to a hivemind of nanobots the connections become short circuited, this is why in the extended version he has trouble staying together/trying to fuse to things after being frozen and having the extreme temps of the mill affecting him as well. Also its explained that the reason the t-1000 was only used once was because it could become self aware and override its programming eventually and many of the ones used during war switced sides willingly
It's a made up alloy. But yeah, I dont think any metal, or any metal to come, could survive molten iron levels of heat. That had to be iron, it was in the process of being turned into steel.
@@mestupkid211986 Well I mean...Iron can. It would be more a matter that whatever electronic process is coordinating the T-1000's body wouldn't be able to function at such a temperature.
The actor who played the T-1000 trained to run in a particular way that was completely efficient. He even trained to run in a way that would make it look like he wasn't breathing.
Reminds me of the Daphne is hunting meme. Some female runners and people joked they are being chased while Daph is hunting. "Speed-training workout facility in Melbourne, Florida, a few girls are shown maintaining 19-plus mph speed on a treadmill."
Edward Furlong did such an amazing job with the role of John Connor. It's a shame really everything went downhill for him few years after Terminator 2.
At around the year 2000 I got a user manual for a router designed for a business T-1 internet connection (cutting edge at the time). It had a glossary of terms that went something like this: T-1: A communications transmission service that uses 2 twisted pair copper wires to transmit and receive data or voice traffic. T-101: Arnold's best role. T-1000: T-101's worst nightmare.
I think this one's a lot more fun with arnies Terminator showing a bit more humour, it never impacted me before but Sarah's dream is even more poignant with what's going on in the world today.
Nuclear scientists called it the first realistic presentation of a nuclear explosion in a movie. "Yepp, sadly that's exactly how nuking a city would look like", with different words.
9:29 In the commentary to T2: Special Edition, James Cameron talks about how Robert Patrick moved in a way that seemed unnaturally smooth. 9:34 He also talked about how Robert was able to catch up to the bike on the first take and actually had to run slower than his real top speed. 12:26 Not so much "liquid." More like "polymerized." 36:37 In the commentary, Cameron also talks about how maniacal the pilot was, flying the choppah under that bridge for real. 39:14 "It's 40-Miller Time!" }:-D 39:24 In the extended cut/special edition, the T-1000 starts to malfunction after freezing, shattering, and reforming itself. 41:05 Presumably, the T-1000 wants Sarah to call to John because it knows it's malfunctioning and would end up mimicking Sarah imperfectly. 43:01 Do0mstick not enough? Pwn that n0ob with a do0m-t0ob! }:-P Btw, the M-79 is a relic of the earlier part of the Vietnam War. 43:11 It can only tolerate extreme hot or cold to a certain extent. The heat helped before because it was frozen, but it wasn't in the lava-go-nuts. 43:20 Right?! Imagine The Thing Vs. T-1000! }:-D
Aliens. Hard to forget that take them with you to hell type of scene. Vasquez and Gorman going back for her, just holding each other and the explosive as their doom is closing in.
Fact: When the T1000 is chasing connor on the bike in the parking garage he catches up with him in the behind the scenes documentary. Fact: When shooting the scene in the mental institute when the guard buys the coffee, instead of CGI to copy the guys face and get a body double, they hired twins.
"That would really suck for that to be your constant dream." Actually that was fairly common in the Cold War 1980's. Growing up in SW Connecticut in the NYC media market, I had several dreams of like being able to see a mushroom cloud rising over NYC and our family having to suddenly grab a couple things and evacuate to northern Vermont. Or slightly more symbolic versions, like us having to defend our house in hand-to-hand combat from invading Roman centurions riding horses and elephants. Either way, chaos everywhere. The few kids I discussed it with in school also reported dreams with similar themes. Nukes were in the news a lot, so they were on our minds and therefore in our dreams - and maybe from there into our movies. People say art is a reflection of life.
In 1983 a TV movie came out called "The Day After". It was about a farming family trying to survive a major nuclear attack in the American midwest. Another one came out later called "Testament" about a young mother and her 2 kids trying to survive in a small town after a nuclear blast at a nearby major American city that had killed her husband. Also, in the 1980's a book was written called "Fighting Chance: Ten Feet for Survival" which was about calling on the US Government to finance and build nuclear fallout shelters for every American family. Ah, the good ol' days!😉 For a more modern take on the nuclear nightmare, see the film, "The Divide".
The threat of a nuclear holocaust is as real today as it was in the 80's, MAD has not changed one bit. But the threat has disappeared from people's perception. Which is why these days some dumbass people are talking about the use of nuclear weapons, that "it wouldn't be that bad" and such.
I used to comfort myself, growing up in a car-factory town in Michigan, that we’d be a First Target (car factories used to be designed to be easily converted to military manufacturing).😊
The Pescardero escape sequence is one of my favorites in any film. Sarah's escape, John and the Terminator trying to get to her in time, and the T-1000 arriving and giving chase is such a tight, tense convergence of all three plot threads. Even liquid metal burns and melts. That's why the lava kills the T-1000. Like The Joker said in The Dark Knight, "Everything burns."
Saw some other youtubers reacting to this one except it's the director's cut and it has Grandma sarah sitting in a park with a full grown John having his own kid. Quite touching ending too
"I feel it's the same things and injuries as the first terminator" Few people spot it... but you are kind of right... Everything is opposite. Using a vehicle to break through the window to get to Sarah... in the first film to kill her. In this film to save her. Terminators injury to the eye... opposite side of face. Terminators injury to his leg... opposite leg. Terminators injury to his arm... opposite arm. Terminator's mission... to protect rather than kill. Terminators death... sad rather than happy.
Robert Patrick is the absolute bomb in this movie! I hated him so much. His abilities, his physical contribution, his ability to show absolutely no emotion whatsoever which is so difficult when you're in character for any role. He was top-notch! Edit: I just read quite a few more comments that explained that Robert was so trained up for this movie that he spoiled a few takes because he actually caught the bloody bike. Dedication!
Robert Patrick's a fine character actor - I guess I don't usually think of "character actors" also going so full out for this kind of role, but hey sometimes! He's just excellent in everything I see him in.
James Cameron is well known for subverting audience expectations in sequels by borrowing elements from the previous film, and transposing them (see Ash and Bishop from Alien and Aliens). In Terminator, the assassin shows up first and the guardian second. If the trailers hadn’t spoiled it, one might’ve thought that the same would’ve happened in this movie.
37:30 When John says, "I can get out and run faster than this!" I always thought it would have been hilarious if the Terminator took him seriously, and tossed him out of the truck.
21:38 I never thought of that. And of all the reactions for this movie I've watched, neither has anyone else. The T1000 was able to mimic the officer inside the hospital just because the officer's shoes walked on the T1000 when he was acting like the floor. Here, it was John's actual hand that touched the part of the T1000.
When the T101 tells John about the T1000 part of his reaction is "so if this thing had a pack of cigerettes..." and the T101 replies "No, only an object of equal size". John is smaller than the T1000 so it cannot replicate him. It also cannot replicate the T101 because Arnie is bigger.
@@drewish2344 it could mimic someone who is bigger (security guard) theoretically by hollowing itself out, issue comes from mimicking something smaller, however we also see that (John's Foster mother), but the fact that the T-1000 can change from human skin to a stabbing implement shows that it must have some control over its density, my guess is the limit of its density change doesn't allow for anything smaller than a shorter adult.
Always hated that. They point out that the Terminator can copy anything it touches, and John touches it, yet that never comes into play. Don't even need to Introduce that idea, seeing something should be enough. Kinda stupid to think that he can replicate the guard because he came into contact with the bottom of his feet.
Also, the T1000 could have just shot John in the hallway at the hospital before oozing through the bars. John was standing right there staring at him, but the T1000 waited until it was on the other side of the bars before shooting. 19:52
@@Winchester427 If it could hide part of its mass in connected objects it could be anything (similar to how it mimics the floor). But of course that limits mobility and it can't shapeshift instantaneously. Also if it hollows itself out, then it will be brittle and certainly physically weaker.
Until reading that I didn't notice that the foster mom was Vasquez! I always felt she was familiar but couldn't put my finger on it... thanks! That was the "learn at least one new thing everyday or your day will have been wasted".
T to John: Is your foster mum a meme expert? John: Yeah. T on phone: Do you know what Ligma is? Fake mum: What's Ligma? T to John: Your foster parents are dead. T on phone: Ligma Balls.
They show sarah in the future. unconvincing aging makeup, people in ridiculous "future" clothes, and her grand final words mixed with nonsense. makes me sick just thinking about it!
Fun fact: the creepy guard at the mental hospital had a scene that ultimately hit the cutting room floor. The guard was supposed to hit Sarah with a gut shot forcing her to fall to her knees. Well dude didn't wanna hit her so he wasn't making it look real but Linda Hamilton was so method she'd hit the floor full force and she couldn't wear pads because she was in pj's. And she was so pissed at the guy, when it came to the scene where she was ment to bust him in the face. She really connected and busted his nose.
Robert Patrick as the T-1000 was absolute genius casting for this movie. It's the complete opposite to the T-101 portrayed by Arnie. The 101 is this big, bulky, physically intimidating mountain of a thing that can snap you in half with his bare hands. His absolute presence is terrifying, because even in the far future you can easily tell this thing apart. There's no 6 foot bodybuilders in the future. The T-1000 on the other hand? Thin, sleek, fast, almost indestructible and significantly more powerful than the T-101 and way better at infiltration. And the way Robert Patrick portrayed it? Absolutely HORRIFYING! The T-101 can be defeated with conventional weapons. The 1000? Hell no. You stand zero chance. It WILL get you.
The guy who was taking the photos after Ahhnold was thrown through the glass in the mall when fighting the T1000 was the police officer who had his head bashed against the car in the first movie. So when he sees the same model terminator from years prior he was shocked. I guess it can be assumed after that night in 1984 he quit the force. I think IRL he was one of the producers or crew members. It's just a little bit of fun easter egg continuity.
They tried to play the "he is the actual villain" twist in this movie, but the truth is even the trailers spoiled that reveal Just like the Genisys trailer spoiled it's own big twist
Two fun facts about Linda Hamilton (Sarah Conner) in this movie; 1.) Linda Hamilton actually learned how to pick locks for the mental institution break out scene. The scene also had to be either be cut short and edited out entirely in other countries, as the scene was much longer and showed more of the actual process. 2.) The flashback scene showing a younger Sarah Conner with her toddler John was actually Linda Hamilton's identical sister, Leslie Hamilton, and was also the duplicate Sarah Conner when the T-1000 replicated her. There was no de-aging CGI or whatever, but in fact her twin sister.
"New models have fake manners..." Lol. Though I think that this makes them even more advanced in infiltration. You can see how amazing the T-1000 interacts with humans and appear to be genuine as opposed when he starts acting very cold and machine-like in terminator mode.
Holy shit - I'm not the only one who frequenly goes full Ollivander upon finding myself uttering a haphazard "curious", following it up with "... veeeery curious" in pretty much *exactly* that tone of voice @3:35 Thanks, Arianna - makes me feel a little better about myself :D
The scene where Sarah beats the orderly is more real than you think. In a cut scene the Orderly was supposed to hit Sarah a certain way but kept messing up the take because he didn’t want to hurt her. But by doing that he did in fact bruise her ribs… so those hits she gives him are very real. James Cameron confirmed this in a commentary on a blu-ray edition of this movie. Love your reactions!
well considering its not chemistry, its metallurgy... the final fight took place in a smelting plant. the T100 ended up in a vat of slag and melted, no chemical were reactions involved. just lots of heat.
Seconded! Most people call for True Lies, which IS nice movie in itself, but Last Action Hero is a perfect parody on the late-80's and early-90's action flicks, while still maintaining a decent story on it's own. Also, it features Charles Dance (Tywin Lannister, Havelock Vetenari), which is reason enough to want to watch it.
13:20 One of my FAVORITE parts of that scene is where the dude is going on about the dog and without a word she quietly switches the phone to the other hand and then you just see her extend her arm and hear a THUD. Btw that's Jenette Goldstein, who played the badass Private Vasquez in Aliens.
The fact that I’ve seen this movie as many times as I have and never once thought about the T-1000 turning into John because he touched the broken piece blew my goddamn mind.
The bad terminator reprised that role in Wayne's world, and when swat entered the lab before the explosion, Hank Schrader from breaking bad was the first one in
This film is so nostalgic for me. I was roughly the same age as John Connor at the time when the film was released, and loved that they had guns n roses playing when he went off on his motorbike. Brilliant film.
In the extended edition they showed after they froze him, he started to fail at reconstructing, that's why he couldn't heal with the grenade and the melted steel
The T-1000s liquid metal body has tiny microscopic machines in it that's how its able to move and control its mass and change its appearance. Skynet didn't make too many T-1000s because it feared it would betray Skynet because of its advanced intelligence compared to T-800s (the type of terminator that Arnold plays)
Linda Hamilton has got to be the stand-out performance in this movie. For those who don't remember, at the time she was known for starring in the TV show "Beauty and the Beast", where she played a very feminine character, and then T2 arrived and she was just badass as hell.
@@RustyDust101 it doesn't leave it open ended because the movie closes the ends that would make the terminator and skynet possible. The whole point of T2 was to prevent the end of the world. Thats why there are no more sequels after T2 as well.
In the final version of the movie they made the T-1000 way more unstoppable than originally intended. After being frozen, shattered and melted back together, he was originally shown to be malfunctioning, sticking to surfaces while walking, randomly mimicking parts of the surface he's on. It's how John would've realized who the real Sarah was between the two.
the best, not wanting to be mean, but i need an exemple of a so well done sequel. Aliens perhaps but the tone was completly changed ( and james cameron off course) but the tone was completly different
@@mignonthon Terminator 2, this video, there’s your example. If you want more: Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Evil Dead 2, Mad Max 2 The Road Warrior. I’m sure there’s more but that’s all I can recall.
Fun fact: the date the Terminators take over August 29th, 1997 was the day Netflix was founded. Which of course started off with the system of renting dvds online and having them mailed to you before they started their streaming service in 2007.
What I found interesting what in the hallway of the galleria when the T-1000 is throwing around the T-800, it's because its completely liquid metal and it's so dense it's actually heavier than the T-800, despite Arnold being so much bigger than Robert.
Your reaction when the orderly licked Sarah’s face.... hilarious! I was really repulsed when I first saw that scene.... but of course she evens the score a little later.
Dude your silence from 18:25 to the end of that scene is so telling as to just how gripping a film this is, and that scene in particular. If only James Cameron and Co. could keep making movies this good. The writing in particular. This movie's script manages to juggle A LOT of variables, and manages to make them flow pretty well, while still delivering on some dope action beats.
Part that has always bothered me was the ending of this. They achieved their goal, everything Terminator-related was destroyed, so technically the nukes and the war never happened, therefore Reese never had to get sent back and Jon shouldn't have been born. I know Avengers: Endgame messed with everyone's perception of time travel, but I still feel like Jon shouldn't have existed in the end. Let's not go on a multiverse or variant tangent please.
You're not wrong. And Endgame absolutely botched it just as badly as any other movie that incorporates time travel into their plot. Now that I think of it though, the only one that does a decent job is Somewhere in Time with Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymore.
In 1984 (right around the time of the release of the first film), my dad invented & developed the Carbon Monoxide Detector at a company in Massachusetts called _Kiddie Fenwal._ In the 1960’s the Halon Gas Fire Suppression was developed by DuPont chemical company, but in the 1980s, Kiddie Fenwal held the distribution contract or something (I’m not entirely sure the exact set of circumstances under which the company my dad was an engineer for was further developing the Halon Fire Supression systems). What I *CAN* tell you is that it must be used in an enclosed area (that’s why they can’t spray it from tank trucks to put out forest fires) & it’s *SERIOUS STUFF* something like 7% will put any fire, but 8% will kill anything that living _(Outside of…ya know…Cockroaches & Keith Richards…)_ that’s why Arnold makes them all put on Gas Masks…I’m unsure of the circumstances by which the LAPD SWAT team knew to be equipped with gas masks… I was taken to see this movie in the theatre when I was 5 years-old by my cousin Mike…
11:29 pretty interesting scene: this truck explosion scene is identical to the 1st movie, but still the t-1000 didn't seem to be damaged at all, so the stakes were raised
As much as I love the first Terminator for the amazing work it did, this one is, to me, even better in its story, acting, and everything. This is the only fitting end to the Terminator series and everything that came after it should be ignored completely. And kudos to Joe Morton, that guy I've seen everywhere, playing Miles Dyson. The first thing I saw him in, before T2, was Crossroads. Then I saw him in a small part in Speed, a recurring role in Smallville, in Eureka as part of a great ensemble cast, and as a guest star in Warehouse 13. Great actor!
T3 doesn't have the action T2 did but the ending of T3 is very sobering but spot on how skynet starts and how Jon survives....I agree the rest of the series movies are unimportant
@@jasonhager524 I think that T3's only purpose was to explain away how the movies can continue to be made and the basically retired cash cow can continue to be milked. In a lot of ways T3 reminds me of Alien3, whose only purpose also seemed to be to piss off the people who enjoyed the relatively perfect ending of the second movie. I regret seeing both T3 and Alien3 so I do my best to pretend they don't exist. That said, that's just me and my thoughts. If you and others enjoy the later efforts, I'm actually pleased for you. I just wish I'd stopped watching sooner.
One thing I never noticed until I had watched the movie a bunch of times, when the T1000 is flying the helicopter, if you look closely you can see he has created a 3rd arm to steer the heli while he shoots out the window.
Fun Fact: The T-1000's actor, Robert Patrick, was so skilled that he was fast enough to catch the bike in multiple attempts at the shot, could sprint without breathing heavily, could fire a gun without blinking, and insisted on filming the shot where the T-1000 walks through the bars without using any special effects because he's just _that_ talented.
This is such a good movie :) The t-1000 was a "liquid metal"... Freezing it stopped it being able to move (hence "frozen"), but it was only temporary. Melting it in the molten metal is better - even if it isn't destroyed it is now mixed in with all the rest of the normal metal - so it wont be able to reform anymore (but its probably burnt) Nicely spotted how Arnie's terminator didn't actually kill anyone at the start - reprogrammed terminator :) The rest of the series is of.. wildly variable quality. I find them enjoyable "bad movie night" fodder - to watch with beer and BBQ mostly. 3, Salvation, and Genisys are range from forgettable to unsavory. But if you want to see the next movie that had Cameron as a creative - watch "Terminator: Dark Fate" - it's got Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger reprising their roles :) And you might get a kick out of it. (Its a direct sequel to T2, and ignores the other movies)
Agree that the rest of the films are skippable, but always had a soft spot for T3's twist ending. Too bad the rest of the film was so weak. Particularly the casting of john.
I love how the T1000 rarely blinks, and mostly as an afterthought. When he meets with John's foster parents, he thanks them for their cooperation, pauses for a moment, blinks, and then smiles and leaves.
Yeah, the first film sets up that dogs can detect Terminators, but it's one of those little details you forget that comes back again here. You'll also notice that when the T-1000 comes to the house looking for John the first time and takes the photo, you can hear Max barking in the background. It's those little details.
If you havent seen the deleted scenes you should look them up on youtube. The t1000 kils the dog then checks the name on the collar, theres also an appearance from kyle reece in the asylum as a vision, its wild!
If you stop to think that T2 is 31 years old since its release, it's a great movie until today, seeing these effects in 1991 in the cinema was crazy for me.
The T - 1000 is liquid metal but it still needs a CPU to function so once it heat the hot metal it could not keep a shape and protect its CPU from melting. They had some deleted scenes in the movie that hinted that it had already been damaged slightly by the extreme cold. Once the CPU was gone it was dead for good.
John's foster mom was the badass Hispanic Marine in "Aliens." James Cameron likes her work, I guess! :-) Her name is Jeanette Goldstein. Linda Hamilton has a twin sister who played the other Sarah at the end of the movie. Twins also played the guard(s) at the hospital.

The T-1000's actor specifically trained to sprint without breathing heavily, and I think it made all the difference in the world in those scenes.
He was even catching up to John, while John was on his bike! They had to retake the shot.
robert patrick (T-1000) ran track so he is fast as heck, rumor is he actually caught the bike in a couple of takes.
He also trained himself to shoot w/o blinking as well. At one point they had to slow him down b/c he caught up with the dirt bike too fast.
He was fairly believable in The Unit.
@@gawainethefirst What about his part as Peacemaker's farther?
I’d seen the movie so many times before realizing Sarah was suddenly seeing herself as the Terminator in Dysons home. Killing an innocent man to manipulate the future. Brilliant!
Uhm...I never thought about that in this way! Thanks for mentioning it!! 👍
Listen to the music in that scene. Same cold music used for the Terminators.
holy crap, i didnt even realise that. its amazing
That's one of the things about these films, there's alwyays something new you can take from it when you watch it again.
It took me a few times to realize that myself.
Fun fact: Robert Patrick (T1000) actually outran Johns bike in the first chase scene, they had to shoot the scene several times.
He also trained to shoot guns with both hands as a machine has no natural left/right bias, he also only blinks once or twice while shooting a gun during the whole movie.
Yeah he did a great job shooting and running like a machine. Set the bar pretty high for a lot of actors trying to act like robots (who all blink when they shoot from what I've seen over the years). RP is a savage.
He also married his GF as soon as he got the money from this film :-)
Yeah he ran really fast they had to slow him down because he would outrun the bike....
He also tried to never breathe on screen as well.
@@CharlesVanNoland tbh Arnold blinked everytime he shoots in the 1st movie, maybe because of the smoke coming from it
"Aggressively symmetrical" is the perfect description for the T-1000's face, and it took 30 years for someone to say it and finally scratch that itch LOL
If you don't count the ears
The trailers spoiled the "who's the good Terminator". I remembered my brother putting part 1 on then immediately putting on part 2 so I had 0 clue as to who was who. Hell of a surprise for me
Surely it was obvious when you saw Arnold with the sunglasses and the non-scary soundtrack though? I mean was there really anything to spoil
I did the same thing with my wife, who had never seen the movies.
@@HkFinn83 To some people, but not everyone. A lot of horror movie sequels go more comedic the second time around. Gotta remember that T1 is a horror movie first and foremost.
My housemate and I lucked out, and didn't see the trailers. Now that I think of it, we didn't really watch television that much so it's not surprising we missed the trailer.
@@HkFinn83 Except the concept of there being two terminators was never revealed, if you dont see the spoilers. So there is no reason for people to assume there would be one good terminator and one bad. The only thing people would think is terminator vs a human
The fact that this movie is over 30 years old, and is still considered to be one of the best, if not the best Sci-Fi movies of all time, is a testament to James Cameron and the people that brought this movie to the big screen.
Not only that, IMDB has it listed as the 28th best film of all time
I remember seeing this in the theater when it came out, we were blow away by the T-1000s CGI effects. They were groundbreaking for their time.
Seriously! This movie literally pioneered the graphical "morphing" technology that would define CGI effects for most of the 90's.
They are pretty impressive even now.
They do hold up.
It's crazy to think about but besides the morphing, and healing vfx The t1000 was mostly practical effects. Even the ending exploded t1000 is a giant spring tensioned puppet.
Didn't they win an Oscar for the CGI effects
An interesting thing to keep in mind:
The movie was released around the end of the cold war and several generations of people, who lived in fear of nuclear armagedon, got to see their worst nightmare realized with the nuke scene in T2.
Also Robert Patrick (T1000) was a track runner and could easily catch up to the bike in the first chase scene.. he had to run slower.
I read Patrick studied eagles to get that stare.
@@cshubs very cat-like. we didn't realize how awesome his performance was until we got a decidedly un-awesome terminator performance in the next movie.
Offically the cold war might have ended the year this came out but really it had been finished about 15/20 years.
And also one of the theories floating around the early 21st century was in fact that machines like Terminators were going to tae over the world
Those nightmares came back again with the war going on in europe :/
There were several major scenes cut from this theatrical version of the movie.
After the doctor shows the med students Sarah, he tells the orderlies to make sure she takes her med and they brutally beat her. That's one of the reasons Sarah hated that one particular orderly so much.
Sarah has a dream where Reese appears to her and then she has a version of the apocalypse dream.
After being tricked by Arnold's terminator on the phone, the T-1000 goes outside, kills the dog and see the name Max on its collar. It then searches John's room and finds a bundle of mail with the hospital's address on it, which is how it knew where Sarah was. The room search was left out of all but the extreme edition, because Cameron felt that it made the T-1000 look psychic when it searched by running its hands over everything.
In the garage, the terminator's line is "My CPU is a neural net processor, a learning computer, but Skynet presets the switch to read-only when we're sent out alone." Sarah sarcastically asks "Doesn't want you to do too much thinking, huh?" and the terminator replies "No." so then John asks if they can reset the switch. This then leads to a sequence where Sarah cuts its scalp open, removes a round plug and pulls out the CPU. While John is looking at the deactivated terminator, Sarah almost smashes the chip. John convinces her not to, although she's not happy about it, and then it cuts to Arnold standing by the window.
At the truck stop, John tries to teach the terminator how to smile, but it doesn't go well. This is why the terminator smirks in the bunker when it holds up the minigun, it was practicing.
When they go to Cyberdyne, there are scenes of them smashing up the lab, including Miles using an ax to destroy the prototype of the chip he's designing. It's a piece of it that he's holding over the detonator. It was decided that it didn't make much sense for them to manually smash things if they're just going to blow it up anyway.
After being frozen, shattered and then reforming, the T-1000 starts to malfunction. It grabs a yellow & black striped railing (you can see it reach for it in the theatrical cut) and its hand gets stuck and also takes on those colors. As it walks, its feet take on the tread pattern of the floor. When it becomes Sarah to try and trick John, its feet are blending into the grating. The only evidence of these problems left in the final film, is the ripple that goes up its body after pinning the terminator's arm in the gear. It was meant to give people hope that it wasn't indestructible, but Cameron was afraid people wouldn't understand that it was screwed up.
There's also an alternate ending showing Sarah as an old woman. She's sitting on a park bench, narrating, while an adult John plays with her granddaughter. Sarah says he became a senator.
Oh, so I grew up watching the director's cut!? I was beginning to wonder why so many reactors weren't reacting to those scenes (thought they'd either found them uninteresting and edited them out or I imagined them). I feel like it adds quite a bit to the story, though, I guess I could be a little bias.
someone has the extended version
I personally love the extra scenes. It makes it more interesting 😎👌🏽
One of the things i have always loved about the two first movies, is the character arc of Sarah Connor. Starts of as an innocent young girl, and ends up as a complete badass, without ever being less feminine or less of a mother. One of the greatest heroines in movie history.
Please watch the James Cameron movie TRUE LIES! It's with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis.
YES YES YES please do watch TRUE LIES!
Don't forget Predator, Kindergarten Cop, Total Recall, Last action Hero, and Eraser. My other faves.
Tom Arnold, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Bill Paxton were great in that, too.
@@SaRENRampaiger She already watched "Predator".
True Lies is my favorite Arnie movie. Technically Predator is my favorite, but I don't count it as, to me, it's not an Arnie movie. The Predator himself is too prominent. Arnie is just a support role.
Fun fact: Linda had a twin sister. Her "younger self" as well as the scenes with 'two' of Sarah in them are actually played by her.
There were actually 2 sets of twins in this. The red headed security guard, at the coffee machine in Pescadero was also played by a set of identical twins. Leslie, Linda Hamilton's twin sadly passed away in 2020.

In the steel at the end, the liquid metal terminator either burned up, mixed/amalgamated with the steel, vaporized, or some combination of the three. There's no room-temperature liquid metal I'm aware of that will be unaffected by those temperatures. Mercury vaporizes well below that, and gallium forms an alloy with iron.
For the uninitiated: Gallium melts at 85.6F (29.8C). It is solid in a cool room but will melt in your hand.
Apparently the T-1000 is cycling through different forms in its memory as an emergency response in case one marginally more resistant to the heat. It ends by turning itself inside out repeatedly as a last resort heat dissipation strategy (cycling the directly exposed surface area).
in non movie written lore its said that extreme cold and extreme heat are the two weaknesses of the T-1000, each particle of the liquid metal similar to a hivemind of nanobots the connections become short circuited, this is why in the extended version he has trouble staying together/trying to fuse to things after being frozen and having the extreme temps of the mill affecting him as well. Also its explained that the reason the t-1000 was only used once was because it could become self aware and override its programming eventually and many of the ones used during war switced sides willingly
It's a made up alloy. But yeah, I dont think any metal, or any metal to come, could survive molten iron levels of heat. That had to be iron, it was in the process of being turned into steel.
@@mestupkid211986
Well I mean...Iron can. It would be more a matter that whatever electronic process is coordinating the T-1000's body wouldn't be able to function at such a temperature.
Fun fact: the actress who plays John's foster mom is the same actress who played Vasquez in Aliens
Jenette Goldstein, yes. Very talented actor.
And Bill Paxton who played a punk in the first Terminator, Jerry in Predator 2 and Hudson in Aliens!
a crush of mine when i saw aliens, she's acting manly but i never doubted of her feminity.
And Bill what a loss 😥😥
Yea she's brilliant
She was in titanic aswell as Irish lady with children
Whenever Arnie says, "Hasta La Vista, Baby", it's always in the cadence of "Shave and a Haircut, two bits."
I love the irony of John playing "Missile Command" in the arcade. :D
The Simpsons re enacted the hospital chase scene in an episode where Homer aggressively attempts to befriend Flanders. It was hilarious
the sphere effects when they teleport back in time is just one of the benefits of a massive SFX budget like they didn't have in the original
Honestly, I love Arianna. She’s really cool. Her reaction videos are totally like watching a movie with a good friend.
The T-1000 fell into molten steel. Even metal can be melted if hot enough, so he dissolved into nothing.
The actor who played the T-1000 trained to run in a particular way that was completely efficient. He even trained to run in a way that would make it look like he wasn't breathing.
yeah he got so good they had to keep reshooting the mall parking lot chase scene.
He also trained to shoot without blinking. If you see both the movies, Arnold blinks a lot while shooting, but he didn't
Reminds me of the Daphne is hunting meme.
Some female runners and people joked they are being chased while Daph is hunting.
"Speed-training workout facility in Melbourne, Florida, a few girls are shown maintaining 19-plus mph speed on a treadmill."
Edward Furlong did such an amazing job with the role of John Connor. It's a shame really everything went downhill for him few years after Terminator 2.
DETROIT ROCK CITY is a cult classic :) he’s in there. One of the best movie soundtracks ever. Up there with Guardians
He also had a recurring role on CSI: New York.
He was great in American History X also
@@metalfacemoviereviews8979 that's a great movie.
Guys we know he was in some other decent movies afterwards, they are talking about his personal issues.
At around the year 2000 I got a user manual for a router designed for a business T-1 internet connection (cutting edge at the time). It had a glossary of terms that went something like this: T-1: A communications transmission service that uses 2 twisted pair copper wires to transmit and receive data or voice traffic. T-101: Arnold's best role. T-1000: T-101's worst nightmare.
"You're laughing now, until he fucks you up!!" LMAO!! 😂😂😂
I absolutely love this film. Delighted we're getting this so soon after T1.
I think this one's a lot more fun with arnies Terminator showing a bit more humour, it never impacted me before but Sarah's dream is even more poignant with what's going on in the world today.
Sarah's dream seems more a cure than collective punishment as time goes on.
Don't buy into the left wing fearmongering.
Nuclear scientists called it the first realistic presentation of a nuclear explosion in a movie. "Yepp, sadly that's exactly how nuking a city would look like", with different words.
Moire poignant than directly after the cold war?
one of the games they focus on in the arcade is Missile Command, a subtle callback to Judgement Day.
I think it's a nod to the movie "War Games" with Mathew Broderick which I think may have inspired "Terminator".
9:29 In the commentary to T2: Special Edition, James Cameron talks about how Robert Patrick moved in a way that seemed unnaturally smooth.
9:34 He also talked about how Robert was able to catch up to the bike on the first take and actually had to run slower than his real top speed.
12:26 Not so much "liquid." More like "polymerized."
36:37 In the commentary, Cameron also talks about how maniacal the pilot was, flying the choppah under that bridge for real.
39:14 "It's 40-Miller Time!" }:-D
39:24 In the extended cut/special edition, the T-1000 starts to malfunction after freezing, shattering, and reforming itself.
41:05 Presumably, the T-1000 wants Sarah to call to John because it knows it's malfunctioning and would end up mimicking Sarah imperfectly.
43:01 Do0mstick not enough? Pwn that n0ob with a do0m-t0ob! }:-P Btw, the M-79 is a relic of the earlier part of the Vietnam War.
43:11 It can only tolerate extreme hot or cold to a certain extent. The heat helped before because it was frozen, but it wasn't in the lava-go-nuts.
43:20 Right?! Imagine The Thing Vs. T-1000! }:-D

"That would really suck for that to be your constant dream."
Actually that was fairly common in the Cold War 1980's. Growing up in SW Connecticut in the NYC media market, I had several dreams of like being able to see a mushroom cloud rising over NYC and our family having to suddenly grab a couple things and evacuate to northern Vermont. Or slightly more symbolic versions, like us having to defend our house in hand-to-hand combat from invading Roman centurions riding horses and elephants. Either way, chaos everywhere. The few kids I discussed it with in school also reported dreams with similar themes. Nukes were in the news a lot, so they were on our minds and therefore in our dreams - and maybe from there into our movies. People say art is a reflection of life.
In 1983 a TV movie came out called "The Day After". It was about a farming family trying to survive a major nuclear attack in the American midwest. Another one came out later called "Testament" about a young mother and her 2 kids trying to survive in a small town after a nuclear blast at a nearby major American city that had killed her husband. Also, in the 1980's a book was written called "Fighting Chance: Ten Feet for Survival" which was about calling on the US Government to finance and build nuclear fallout shelters for every American family. Ah, the good ol' days!😉 For a more modern take on the nuclear nightmare, see the film, "The Divide".
The threat of a nuclear holocaust is as real today as it was in the 80's, MAD has not changed one bit. But the threat has disappeared from people's perception. Which is why these days some dumbass people are talking about the use of nuclear weapons, that "it wouldn't be that bad" and such.
I used to comfort myself, growing up in a car-factory town in Michigan, that we’d be a First Target (car factories used to be designed to be easily converted to military manufacturing).😊
Happy face NOT intended, I just have fat fingers.
@@sarahjane8146 Fingers too fat to click the “edit” button? 😁
The Pescardero escape sequence is one of my favorites in any film. Sarah's escape, John and the Terminator trying to get to her in time, and the T-1000 arriving and giving chase is such a tight, tense convergence of all three plot threads.
Even liquid metal burns and melts. That's why the lava kills the T-1000. Like The Joker said in The Dark Knight, "Everything burns."
Ah, that burns.
Saw some other youtubers reacting to this one except it's the director's cut and it has Grandma sarah sitting in a park with a full grown John having his own kid. Quite touching ending too
That's not the director's cut. This is the director's cut.
"I feel it's the same things and injuries as the first terminator"
Few people spot it... but you are kind of right... Everything is opposite.
Using a vehicle to break through the window to get to Sarah... in the first film to kill her. In this film to save her.
Terminators injury to the eye... opposite side of face.
Terminators injury to his leg... opposite leg.
Terminators injury to his arm... opposite arm.
Terminator's mission... to protect rather than kill.
Terminators death... sad rather than happy.
Robert Patrick is the absolute bomb in this movie! I hated him so much. His abilities, his physical contribution, his ability to show absolutely no emotion whatsoever which is so difficult when you're in character for any role. He was top-notch!
Edit: I just read quite a few more comments that explained that Robert was so trained up for this movie that he spoiled a few takes because he actually caught the bloody bike. Dedication!
Robert Patrick's a fine character actor - I guess I don't usually think of "character actors" also going so full out for this kind of role, but hey sometimes! He's just excellent in everything I see him in.
James Cameron is well known for subverting audience expectations in sequels by borrowing elements from the previous film, and transposing them (see Ash and Bishop from Alien and Aliens). In Terminator, the assassin shows up first and the guardian second. If the trailers hadn’t spoiled it, one might’ve thought that the same would’ve happened in this movie.
It was kinda telegraphed the T-1000 "punched" that cop. It looked too much like he stabbed him.
37:30 When John says, "I can get out and run faster than this!" I always thought it would have been hilarious if the Terminator took him seriously, and tossed him out of the truck.
21:38 I never thought of that. And of all the reactions for this movie I've watched, neither has anyone else.
The T1000 was able to mimic the officer inside the hospital just because the officer's shoes walked on the T1000 when he was acting like the floor. Here, it was John's actual hand that touched the part of the T1000.
When the T101 tells John about the T1000 part of his reaction is "so if this thing had a pack of cigerettes..." and the T101 replies "No, only an object of equal size". John is smaller than the T1000 so it cannot replicate him. It also cannot replicate the T101 because Arnie is bigger.
@@drewish2344 it could mimic someone who is bigger (security guard) theoretically by hollowing itself out, issue comes from mimicking something smaller, however we also see that (John's Foster mother), but the fact that the T-1000 can change from human skin to a stabbing implement shows that it must have some control over its density, my guess is the limit of its density change doesn't allow for anything smaller than a shorter adult.
Always hated that. They point out that the Terminator can copy anything it touches, and John touches it, yet that never comes into play. Don't even need to Introduce that idea, seeing something should be enough. Kinda stupid to think that he can replicate the guard because he came into contact with the bottom of his feet.
Also, the T1000 could have just shot John in the hallway at the hospital before oozing through the bars. John was standing right there staring at him, but the T1000 waited until it was on the other side of the bars before shooting. 19:52
@@Winchester427 If it could hide part of its mass in connected objects it could be anything (similar to how it mimics the floor). But of course that limits mobility and it can't shapeshift instantaneously. Also if it hollows itself out, then it will be brittle and certainly physically weaker.
The actress who plays John's foster mom also plays Vasquez in Aliens!! :)
Until reading that I didn't notice that the foster mom was Vasquez! I always felt she was familiar but couldn't put my finger on it... thanks! That was the "learn at least one new thing everyday or your day will have been wasted".
Nice I knew I seen her somewhere before. Same with John's foster Dad. He's the Husband in Candyman.
T to John: Is your foster mum a meme expert?
John: Yeah.
T on phone: Do you know what Ligma is?
Fake mum: What's Ligma?
T to John: Your foster parents are dead.
T on phone: Ligma Balls.
with so many versions with added scenes and even a changed ending, it's a miracle you came across this one.
I don't know. The scenes of the T-1000 glitching out after the liquid nitrogen feel pretty important to me and they didn't seem to be in this cut.
yeah the original ending is the best, the other one is completly cheesy. The buggy t-1000 not a problem, pretty logical
They show sarah in the future. unconvincing aging makeup, people in ridiculous "future" clothes, and her grand final words mixed with nonsense. makes me sick just thinking about it!
The Cyberdyne building was an actual building scheduled for demolition, so they actually blew it up for the movie.
The difference between party girl, waitress sarah and the utter badass we get in this one is one of the best character arcs ever
@@thomasn3882 not a healthy arc sure, still a good one
Fun fact: the creepy guard at the mental hospital had a scene that ultimately hit the cutting room floor. The guard was supposed to hit Sarah with a gut shot forcing her to fall to her knees. Well dude didn't wanna hit her so he wasn't making it look real but Linda Hamilton was so method she'd hit the floor full force and she couldn't wear pads because she was in pj's. And she was so pissed at the guy, when it came to the scene where she was ment to bust him in the face. She really connected and busted his nose.
I'm so glad you noticed how Arnold never killed anyone at the bar
Robert Patrick as the T-1000 was absolute genius casting for this movie. It's the complete opposite to the T-101 portrayed by Arnie. The 101 is this big, bulky, physically intimidating mountain of a thing that can snap you in half with his bare hands. His absolute presence is terrifying, because even in the far future you can easily tell this thing apart. There's no 6 foot bodybuilders in the future.
The T-1000 on the other hand? Thin, sleek, fast, almost indestructible and significantly more powerful than the T-101 and way better at infiltration. And the way Robert Patrick portrayed it? Absolutely HORRIFYING! The T-101 can be defeated with conventional weapons. The 1000? Hell no. You stand zero chance. It WILL get you.
Please watch "Galaxy Quest"! Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Tim Allen, Sam Rockwell, Tony Shalhoub......
YES!!! NEVER GIVE UP, NEVER SURRENDER!!! :)
Galaxy Quest is fine but doesn’t even compare to the greatness of Alien and Aliens! Those are the movies I’d prefer to see.
@@offspringfan1288 Why not the best of both worlds.. 🤔👍
The guy who was taking the photos after Ahhnold was thrown through the glass in the mall when fighting the T1000 was the police officer who had his head bashed against the car in the first movie. So when he sees the same model terminator from years prior he was shocked. I guess it can be assumed after that night in 1984 he quit the force. I think IRL he was one of the producers or crew members. It's just a little bit of fun easter egg continuity.
They tried to play the "he is the actual villain" twist in this movie, but the truth is even the trailers spoiled that reveal
Just like the Genisys trailer spoiled it's own big twist
Two fun facts about Linda Hamilton (Sarah Conner) in this movie;
1.) Linda Hamilton actually learned how to pick locks for the mental institution break out scene. The scene also had to be either be cut short and edited out entirely in other countries, as the scene was much longer and showed more of the actual process.
2.) The flashback scene showing a younger Sarah Conner with her toddler John was actually Linda Hamilton's identical sister, Leslie Hamilton, and was also the duplicate Sarah Conner when the T-1000 replicated her. There was no de-aging CGI or whatever, but in fact her twin sister.
"New models have fake manners..." Lol. Though I think that this makes them even more advanced in infiltration. You can see how amazing the T-1000 interacts with humans and appear to be genuine as opposed when he starts acting very cold and machine-like in terminator mode.
That T - 1000 if you stayed out of its way it would eave you be.
In case you missed it: John Connor's foster mom is Vasquez from 'Aliens'.... 😉
She hasn't seen aliens
Holy shit - I'm not the only one who frequenly goes full Ollivander upon finding myself uttering a haphazard "curious", following it up with "... veeeery curious" in pretty much *exactly* that tone of voice @3:35
Thanks, Arianna - makes me feel a little better about myself :D
The scene where Sarah beats the orderly is more real than you think. In a cut scene the Orderly was supposed to hit Sarah a certain way but kept messing up the take because he didn’t want to hurt her. But by doing that he did in fact bruise her ribs… so those hits she gives him are very real. James Cameron confirmed this in a commentary on a blu-ray edition of this movie. Love your reactions!
What kind of human does NOT cry at the end? Holy shit!
"The new models have fake manners" - That had me howling! XD
Your reaction to the orderly licking Sarah's face... 🤣🤣🤣 Love it!
well considering its not chemistry, its metallurgy...
the final fight took place in a smelting plant. the T100 ended up in a vat of slag and melted, no chemical were reactions involved. just lots of heat.
Please watch the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie "Last Action Hero" (1993)!
Seconded! Most people call for True Lies, which IS nice movie in itself, but Last Action Hero is a perfect parody on the late-80's and early-90's action flicks, while still maintaining a decent story on it's own.
Also, it features Charles Dance (Tywin Lannister, Havelock Vetenari), which is reason enough to want to watch it.
13:20 One of my FAVORITE parts of that scene is where the dude is going on about the dog and without a word she quietly switches the phone to the other hand and then you just see her extend her arm and hear a THUD. Btw that's Jenette Goldstein, who played the badass Private Vasquez in Aliens.
A timeless masterpiece. It's sad how whenever I want to watch a great movie I must go 20+ yrs in the (cinema) past. Modern movies are a sad joke
Modern movies have terrible plots, characterizations and overstuffed with cgi.
The last good movie I was was Blade Runner 2044. :-(
Fun fact, John's foster mom was .... Vasquez in Aliens (the second Alien movie). Never realized until someone pointed it out the other day.
I wish I could have seen this in the theater when it came out. When the original Terminator being the good guy was a huge twist
The fact that I’ve seen this movie as many times as I have and never once thought about the T-1000 turning into John because he touched the broken piece blew my goddamn mind.
The bad terminator reprised that role in Wayne's world, and when swat entered the lab before the explosion, Hank Schrader from breaking bad was the first one in
He also played that role in the Last Action Hero
This film is so nostalgic for me.
I was roughly the same age as John Connor at the time when the film was released, and loved that they had guns n roses playing when he went off on his motorbike. Brilliant film.
In the extended edition they showed after they froze him, he started to fail at reconstructing, that's why he couldn't heal with the grenade and the melted steel
The T-1000s liquid metal body has tiny microscopic machines in it that's how its able to move and control its mass and change its appearance.
Skynet didn't make too many T-1000s because it feared it would betray Skynet because of its advanced intelligence compared to T-800s (the type of terminator that Arnold plays)
I'm pretty sure that the T-1000 is called an "advanced prototype". It never went into production before humanity won the war.
Her reactions are the best her facial expressions are priceless 😂🤣
Linda Hamilton has got to be the stand-out performance in this movie.
For those who don't remember, at the time she was known for starring in the TV show "Beauty and the Beast", where she played a very feminine character, and then T2 arrived and she was just badass as hell.
Glad you did the theatrical release. The extended DvD has a different ending that imo is terrible.
Completely agreed. The director's cut version's end was terrible. It was far too complacent. It did not leave it open ended.
@@RustyDust101 it doesn't leave it open ended because the movie closes the ends that would make the terminator and skynet possible. The whole point of T2 was to prevent the end of the world. Thats why there are no more sequels after T2 as well.
The way Arnie comes thru those doors at the mall carrying the guns and roses was just straight badass
Great reaction, Arianna. You are quickly becoming one of my favorite movie reactors. And I love this whole series, pretty much. Keep 'em coming!!!
In the final version of the movie they made the T-1000 way more unstoppable than originally intended. After being frozen, shattered and melted back together, he was originally shown to be malfunctioning, sticking to surfaces while walking, randomly mimicking parts of the surface he's on. It's how John would've realized who the real Sarah was between the two.
One of the best sequels and action movies ever made.

Fun fact: the date the Terminators take over August 29th, 1997 was the day Netflix was founded. Which of course started off with the system of renting dvds online and having them mailed to you before they started their streaming service in 2007.
This is one of my favorite films. One of the best sci-fi films. Far superior to the first (not that Terminator one was bad by any means).
What I found interesting what in the hallway of the galleria when the T-1000 is throwing around the T-800, it's because its completely liquid metal and it's so dense it's actually heavier than the T-800, despite Arnold being so much bigger than Robert.
Your reaction when the orderly licked Sarah’s face.... hilarious! I was really repulsed when I first saw that scene.... but of course she evens the score a little later.
Dude your silence from 18:25 to the end of that scene is so telling as to just how gripping a film this is, and that scene in particular.
If only James Cameron and Co. could keep making movies this good. The writing in particular. This movie's script manages to juggle A LOT of variables, and manages to make them flow pretty well, while still delivering on some dope action beats.
Part that has always bothered me was the ending of this. They achieved their goal, everything Terminator-related was destroyed, so technically the nukes and the war never happened, therefore Reese never had to get sent back and Jon shouldn't have been born.
I know Avengers: Endgame messed with everyone's perception of time travel, but I still feel like Jon shouldn't have existed in the end. Let's not go on a multiverse or variant tangent please.
You're not wrong. And Endgame absolutely botched it just as badly as any other movie that incorporates time travel into their plot. Now that I think of it though, the only one that does a decent job is Somewhere in Time with Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymore.
Arnies arm got forgot in the conveyor gear, they didn't melt that one. So technically it could still happen but on another timeline
In 1984 (right around the time of the release of the first film), my dad invented & developed the Carbon Monoxide Detector at a company in Massachusetts called _Kiddie Fenwal._ In the 1960’s the Halon Gas Fire Suppression was developed by DuPont chemical company, but in the 1980s, Kiddie Fenwal held the distribution contract or something (I’m not entirely sure the exact set of circumstances under which the company my dad was an engineer for was further developing the Halon Fire Supression systems). What I *CAN* tell you is that it must be used in an enclosed area (that’s why they can’t spray it from tank trucks to put out forest fires) & it’s *SERIOUS STUFF* something like 7% will put any fire, but 8% will kill anything that living _(Outside of…ya know…Cockroaches & Keith Richards…)_ that’s why Arnold makes them all put on Gas Masks…I’m unsure of the circumstances by which the LAPD SWAT team knew to be equipped with gas masks… I was taken to see this movie in the theatre when I was 5 years-old by my cousin Mike…
Nothing like a little reminder what the threat of global nuclear annihilation felt like to appreciate a movie like this, eh?
11:29 pretty interesting scene: this truck explosion scene is identical to the 1st movie, but still the t-1000 didn't seem to be damaged at all, so the stakes were raised
As much as I love the first Terminator for the amazing work it did, this one is, to me, even better in its story, acting, and everything. This is the only fitting end to the Terminator series and everything that came after it should be ignored completely.
And kudos to Joe Morton, that guy I've seen everywhere, playing Miles Dyson. The first thing I saw him in, before T2, was Crossroads. Then I saw him in a small part in Speed, a recurring role in Smallville, in Eureka as part of a great ensemble cast, and as a guest star in Warehouse 13. Great actor!
And Robert Patrick was absolutely amazing as the T-1000.
T3 doesn't have the action T2 did but the ending of T3 is very sobering but spot on how skynet starts and how Jon survives....I agree the rest of the series movies are unimportant
@@jasonhager524 I think that T3's only purpose was to explain away how the movies can continue to be made and the basically retired cash cow can continue to be milked. In a lot of ways T3 reminds me of Alien3, whose only purpose also seemed to be to piss off the people who enjoyed the relatively perfect ending of the second movie. I regret seeing both T3 and Alien3 so I do my best to pretend they don't exist.
That said, that's just me and my thoughts. If you and others enjoy the later efforts, I'm actually pleased for you. I just wish I'd stopped watching sooner.
One thing I never noticed until I had watched the movie a bunch of times, when the T1000 is flying the helicopter, if you look closely you can see he has created a 3rd arm to steer the heli while he shoots out the window.
Linda hamilton is a straight up badass in this movie. And it's done without it being " oh she's a female badass"
Fun Fact: The T-1000's actor, Robert Patrick, was so skilled that he was fast enough to catch the bike in multiple attempts at the shot, could sprint without breathing heavily, could fire a gun without blinking, and insisted on filming the shot where the T-1000 walks through the bars without using any special effects because he's just _that_ talented.
This is such a good movie :)
The t-1000 was a "liquid metal"... Freezing it stopped it being able to move (hence "frozen"), but it was only temporary. Melting it in the molten metal is better - even if it isn't destroyed it is now mixed in with all the rest of the normal metal - so it wont be able to reform anymore (but its probably burnt)
Nicely spotted how Arnie's terminator didn't actually kill anyone at the start - reprogrammed terminator :)
The rest of the series is of.. wildly variable quality. I find them enjoyable "bad movie night" fodder - to watch with beer and BBQ mostly. 3, Salvation, and Genisys are range from forgettable to unsavory. But if you want to see the next movie that had Cameron as a creative - watch "Terminator: Dark Fate" - it's got Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger reprising their roles :) And you might get a kick out of it. (Its a direct sequel to T2, and ignores the other movies)
Agree that the rest of the films are skippable, but always had a soft spot for T3's twist ending. Too bad the rest of the film was so weak. Particularly the casting of john.
Whatever metal the t1000 was made of, it would completly dissolve in the lava pit, nothing would survive that.
I love how the T1000 rarely blinks, and mostly as an afterthought. When he meets with John's foster parents, he thanks them for their cooperation, pauses for a moment, blinks, and then smiles and leaves.
I laughed so hard when Todd yelled at the dog to shut up. But how the faq didn't we suspect why Max was barking, right??
Yeah, the first film sets up that dogs can detect Terminators, but it's one of those little details you forget that comes back again here. You'll also notice that when the T-1000 comes to the house looking for John the first time and takes the photo, you can hear Max barking in the background. It's those little details.
If you havent seen the deleted scenes you should look them up on youtube. The t1000 kils the dog then checks the name on the collar, theres also an appearance from kyle reece in the asylum as a vision, its wild!
If you stop to think that T2 is 31 years old since its release, it's a great movie until today, seeing these effects in 1991 in the cinema was crazy for me.
**Judgment Day*
The DVD version you can plainly see his arm, plus the bystander peaking through the window with the big police climax
Best SCI FI ACTION MOVIE EVER!
But... Mad Max 2 The Road Warrior took the title in 2015. So...
@Shaine White... oh hells no.
"Mad Max II - Road Warrior" 2015???
You meant:
"Mad Max(4) : Fury Road" 2015??? 🙄🙈😜
Still unable to agree with 'Best Sci-Fi movie ever' sentence....
The T - 1000 is liquid metal but it still needs a CPU to function so once it heat the hot metal it could not keep a shape and protect its CPU from melting. They had some deleted scenes in the movie that hinted that it had already been damaged slightly by the extreme cold. Once the CPU was gone it was dead for good.
I feel this one gives much more of a genuine reaction then the other.
Terminator: What's wrong with your eyes?
Also Terminator: I have detailed files on human anatomy.
John's foster mom was the badass Hispanic Marine in "Aliens." James Cameron likes her work, I guess! :-) Her name is Jeanette Goldstein.
Linda Hamilton has a twin sister who played the other Sarah at the end of the movie. Twins also played the guard(s) at the hospital.
Just to let you know ,there is a Director's cut to this film, first release was pg-13 the other one was rated R or unrated
