When James Cameron was casting the movie, he wanted an ordinary unknown kid to portray John Connor. This was his first movie with no prior experience in acting.
He was in Arachnaquake as an adult.
I always thought he did a terrific job. I don’t understand the negative reaction at all.
Wasnt he in pet cemetary part 2 before that or was that after 😅
So did George Lucas for Anakin in Star Wars Episode I and look how that performance also turned out. Do you see a pattern?
@@OZYM1 No, because Edward Furlong was good in this movie.
I'll never understand the hate for Edward Furlongs character I thought he was excellent, his character is supposed to be like 10 yrs old here, most kids can act annoying but he played it so well
Same here. I’ve never seen or heard anyone speak negatively about him in this film. I always thought he did a terrific job.
@@randall-king Are you blind ?
@@johnnyskinwalker4095 I thought he was fine. Now for me a real movie brat was Jayden Smith in The Day the Earth Stood Still
Thank you for saying so. I am curious if the people who hate him saw the movie in 1991 when it came out or if they are more recent viewers. I saw it in the theater in 1991 and absolutely loved this movie. I thought the kid was fine. Kinda cheesy, but not in such a way that I hated it.
@@johnnyskinwalker4095 i get it, you didn't like him. as far as kid actors go i thought he was average.
This film is 30 years old and the effects are STILL groundbreaking!
Know what you can do, and know what you can't do.
And take your time.
It was true 30 years ago, and it's still true now. The only limit of how good digital effects look is not the hardware you are working with, but the time you're given until the result has to be handed in.
Terminator 2 and Jurasic Park still look great, because the creators of the movies knew that this was going to be difficult and expensive, and they would have to take a lot of care and time, and plan out everything from the start before they shot anything.
Today, movie creators often go with "Eh, have some guys do poses in front of a green screen and then let the CG people add everything in two weeks."
Oh yeah. It's the right blend of practical effects work and CGI. I just love movies like this where you know that most of the stuff was actually there. You know, stunt verhicles getting trashed or that awesome motorcycle jump. But at the same time, the crew obviously devoted a LOT of attention to the implementation of the CG elements. And it simply holds up.
Its almost like... you can´t just throw more computer preformance on it.. you actually have to do a bit of work also
This movie does not exist without The Abyss.
The Abyss doesn't exist without Tron, Last Starfighter and Young Sherlock Holmes. Terminator 2 was the film to get the CGI ball rolling. The T1000 CGI was vital to it's storytelling, and could not be cut from the film. The effects in the Abyss however, could if they hadn't have worked.
I really do not understand the hatred for the kid actor. I like him in it.
Anybody that hates John needs to eat some ribs and take a nap.
The character is supposed to be an annoying little shit, and Furlong plays that role well.
Cameron is not an actors director. Edward was like 12 or 13, in a heavy effects movie.This is also way before, parents getting kids training in acting at 6.
He comes across as a dbag. That was the plan and he pulled it off nicely.
I said the same thing! I liked his character, but at the same time I saw this movie when I was way younger, so that may have made a difference.
I will never get the hate of Edward Furlong in this role. He was always more relatable to me than most kids on-screen. Most Spielberg kid protagonists always felt a little shallow, inactive, or two-dimensional (Timmy from Jurassic Park, Jack from Hook, Short Round from Temple of Doom, etc.). Elliot from E.T. never quite connected despite all the on-paper elements that say it should work. McCauley Culkin movies were fun, but those movies and characters were more like a sugar rush with no staying power.
There might be better selection of child acting to find nowadays, and it might be the role more than the performance, but it was hard in those days to find another kid actor in our catalog that didn't have some kind of barrier of disbelief.
I never even realized people hated him.
Yeah I never had much a problem with him. Some of his dialogue is a tad cheesy but thats not his fault. The times when his voice cracks, well, I guess they could have re-taken those scenes but he's still a kid haha.
Overall definitely one of my top action movies from the 90's. I mean this was my jam when i was a teenager!! Saw this in the theaters when it first came out, such an experience! This and Jurassic Park. Nothing can replicate those types of theater experiences anymore in my opinion!
the problem was, they had to re-dub almost all of john's dialog because his voice cracked midway through the shoot. and that probably was a bit much for a 12 year old without experience. because voice acting can be even harder.
He was invited to a con last year, with the red head kid. He didn't appear at the Q&A and we seen him at the photo gallery area in another building. He looked like he's not aged well amongst other things so we declined to stop by for an autograph and bypassed to see Weird Al in person.
Honestly, Edward Furlong is probably the best actor to play John Connor. I think he might be my favorite kid actor.
Fun Fact: everyone who sees their doppelganger is played by actual twins! Linda Hamilton \ security guards are real life twins. So cool!😁
See them in Good Morning Vietnam, Manhunter and another superior sequel, Gremlins 2
Can you leave a comment *without* saying "fun fact"?
Oh damn didn't know she had a twin sister, sadly it seems she died last year.
@@gaynor1721 & u can not comment on sum1 else post wit bullshit
Where's the "fact"?
That's Linda Hamilton's twin sister in the apocalyptic playground scene, where Sarah Connor looks at herself with her son John. Unfortunately Linda Hamilton's sister passed away last August.
And in the foundry sequence when Sarah shoots the T-1000 impersonating her. (When I first saw it, I was astonished at how clean the compositing was.) And in the deleted scene of removing the T-800's CPU to turn on the learning functions. (A mirror is involved. You'll understand if you've seen the shot.)
@@DataCab1e she's in several scene's apparently.
Oh the scene when Sarah is unscrewing the top of Arnie's head in the mirror is supercool, I'm astonished that was removed from the theatrical release.
Leslie Hamilton. RIP.
The police officer in the mental hospital is also a pair of twin actors.
Knock Furlong all you want, still better acting than Genisys and Dark Fate combined.
I dunno I never bashed his acting. As well as actor who played kid Anakin for example. First of all they are kids, cut them some slack, and second of all majority of kid actors are way worse
@@danzansandeev6033 Yeah, I never really saw Furlong as a bad actor (at least in T2, never saw him in anything else), and with Anakin I thought his acting was ok, I just thought his dialog was bad.
They were so happy with Furlong's performance they were going to use him for T3, but he had too many drug issues so they went with someone else.
@@danzansandeev6033 There's an old actors' saying (or was it W.C.Fields or someone famoous-ish?) that you should never work with children and animals. :D
The character was supposed to be 10 years old but he does act more like a typical 90's punk teenager. Furlong did fine in the role handed to him.
Random mind-blowing trivia: John's foster mother is Vasquez from Aliens.
aka Jenette Goldstein.
She and 2 other Aliens alums Lance Henriksen and Bill Paxton are also in the vampire flick Near Dark directed by Kathryn Bigelow, James Cameron's short term wife of Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty fame.
She was also in Cameron's Titanic.
she was also in one of the lethal weapon films
@@marlonclark1896 yeah, she got blown up jumping off the diving board in Lethal Weapon 2.
@@Saboteur709 Who was she in Titanic?
Your jokes/puns are way cornier than the kids acting, just sayin' 🤷♂️
Don't be mean! Nothin's THAT corny!
That's the first time I heard someone criticize Edward Furlong's acting. I thought he was really good.
@@markbartoszek8585 he was horrible
@@markbartoszek8585 You are shockingly wrong.
Trying to hard to be funny, I couldn't watch the whole reaction either
Tbh, I didn't find the kid that grating. He acted like how a rebellious teenager would. Maybe not cinematic but believable nonetheless.
honestly, he acts just like a kid who was ripped away from a "wild" mother and is currently resisting attempts to civilize [as teenagers from normal families do anyway].
This is what these young people don't understand when they watch movies from our childhood. kids were different back in the day.
I thought Edward Furlong was the star, the kid was just so good.
wait tf?
His acting wasn't bad, just his voice
12: 15
Fun Fact: The bike run scene, during one of the shots, Robert Patrick (T1000) was really fast to the point he actually was able to catch up with bike.
Robert Patrick also trained himself to fire a gun without making any sort of reaction, that makes the T-1000 even more frightening
That was the fact I wanted to share. I heard he looked too close to catching the bike multiple times.
He learned to control his breathing too.
Bullshit
The one thing that truly pulls on my heart strings in this movie is the scene where John, Sarah, Terminator are fleeing mental hospital in the car after evading liquid terminator. Sarah motions to John for what looks like a motherly embrace but all she wanted to do is examine him for injuries. John was crestfallen. He was expecting a motherly embrace with affection. It was a gut punch for him.
Obviously they have a dynamic that works for them, but oh man would I get annoyed if I wanted to share a movie I really enjoy with someone and that person is constantly making dumb puns and complaining about the acting lol.
Enough with the knocking of Eddy Furlong, Emily. This was the first role of his of any kind and he was 13 at the time. As penance, I think Matt should have you sit through and react to Arnie's first film, "Hercules in New York". You'll cringe from the first minute to the last. :-)
PalpatineDoIt.gif
You are evil!
The hate for John Conners felt less like she hates the character or acting, and more like she just hates actual kids, because that's how kids act especially troubled ones
I always found the kid to be more bearable when I consider two things: 1) He's 12. His voice is going to be cracked and pitchy, so it's accurate in the movie. 2) He's not a character, he's the MacGuffin. Nothing John does in this film has any bearing on anything. All of his actions could be ignored or easily replaced by one of the others. He's not a fighter, he's what's being fought over.
7:33 It's not supposed to be taken seriously. Cameron himself says in the DVD commentary that it's a tongue-in-cheek reference to how iconic the character became.
Also, I don't know what this woman has heard, but not everyone found Edward Furlong annoying. I think she just assumes that she's supposed to hate everything he does.
She's insanely overreacting to edward furlong's acting.
Right? I came close to just giving up on this video.
Considering he wasn't actually acting until he was scouted for this movie, he did a good job. Better than a lot of other kid actors you get now.
Misread as "overacting" :D
He couldn't let the missed reference in Hot Shots slide :)
I cant belive cameron copied hotshots.
@@matsv201 Are you ok Top Gun copied Hot Shots!?
And the Platters totally stole that song Topper sang to Ramada.
@@TheMule71 so uncreative.
@@matsv201 Yeah everybody copying everybody... it sounds so meta...
For my Breaking Bad fans, that was Hank leading the Swat Team
he was also in Lethal Weapon 2 as one of the cops (that get blown up while playing cards)
And he was in Total Recall as well as the mutant eye guy!
Mr abc himself
Ah yes, T2 and Aliens. The perfect sequel movies.
Yeah, and I'm one of the weirdos that prefers the first of each lol
And the last of both series. "2 and done", that's their motto.
The actress who plays Janelle, his step-mom is the same one who plays Vasquez in Aliens.
@Trevor Rogert The only thing you could say looked fake was Ripley/Newt in front of the Alien Queen because of the green screen.
Let's not forget "Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back".
I'm confused on the hatred for "the child".
A. John Conner IS the story
B. Edward Furlong nailed how a kid, that age, acted in early 90's America(often times, quite annoying; yet, interestingly enough, not NEAR as annoying as the kids now)
C. Show me another male actor, the same age, that could have embodied that character, as far as this story is concerned
A lot like Juaquin Phoenix in _Gladiator_ his ability just makes you annoyed to see him. 😁
A child hater, that's why
I've heard that Sarah's dream about judgement day is the most accurate depiction of a nuclear detonation in cinima. Blinding flash of light, then incinerating blast of heat, then shock wave of the explosion.
The kid was supposed to seem childish like most kids actually are because they wanted to show that the machine could learn to love as a father. Kinda goofy but that was the aim. Proof that this is what the director wanted, he went out and got a kid with ZERO Acting credits who never thought about being an actor.
Also the T-1000 terminator (liquid metal man) did not blink in the entire movie. the actor did that to make it more realistic
Not for realism, because the models that predate him blink. Like the T-101, T-800, etc. His character doesn't blink because he is supposed to be menacing, and scary. No emotion whatsoever. Completely robotic.
Not true. He blinked at the Galleria shootout scene and some other scenes as well.
Which is funny because the entire point in making a Termy liquid metal is to allow them to get even closer to the real thing - you would expect the programming to reflect that for mission sake if nothing else.
It's not that he didn't blink at all, he learned not to blink while firing guns which is a talent all in itself. He never blinks while firing his gun. The actor trained for weeks to be able to keep his normal reactions at bay.
He blinked 4 times in total.
The actor that plays the advanced terminator, Robert Patrick, was in the TV Series X-Files in its later seasons. In one episode they are investigating a person, named Ray Pierce, and Dana Scully suggests that "his entire cellular makeup was affected by exposure to some non-identifiable contaminant-- a metal."
To which Robert Patrick's character responds with:
"What are you saying? Ray Pearce has become some kind of metal man? Because that only happens in the movies, Agent Scully."
I LOVE that line.
His brother is also lead singer of the rock band Filter.
Doggett was a great character, Reyes not so much.
I have always thought eddie furlong acted well, and considering this was his first ever acting he did pretty good damn good at playing troubled kid.
Also the truck survived the jump stunt and was still working, except the axle bent which you can see in the film.
And bad to the bone is never overused in this because its the og place it was used :)
They don't mean the song is overused here. Only that its overuse elsewhere has lessened its effectiveness somewhat.
@@williamhiers1280I associate that song with both T2 and the first Problem Child film. Surprised I haven't seen reactions to Problem Child yet since it seems damn near everything else has been reacted to now.
I think the first movie I heard Bad to the Bone in was Stephen King's Christine.
I believe it was John Carpenter's Christine that it was used. Which as stated above was a Stephen King adaptation.
The use of bad to the bone perfectly fits that scene. I mean he just wasted a bunch of dudes at a biker bar, then walked up to a guy and just took his shotgun and sunglasses lol.
On another note, I think we can conclude that she hates kids lol. Because that's the only explanation for not liking the high-five scene with the T-800, among others featuring John.
The song became corny and cliche after Problem Child.
The song doesn't fit at all, it's cheesy.
James Cameron making movies: "SPARE NO EXPENSE!"
Damn, I’m genuinely taken aback that you didn’t like Edward Furlong’s performance. Always thought he was perfect for the role.
These effects are the standard, they set the standard for a couple of generations. This was an SFX golden age. CGI maturing and being used in concert with practical effects. Perfection.
The real follow-up to this movie, at least within a very similar timeline and universe, was "Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles."
Lol
"Please don't be creepy!"
Oh, he's gonna be creepy
That is why fans got a lot of respect for Sarah and the same reason why fans hated how Dark Fate treated her character.
I really hated how the Sarah Connor Chronicles treated the character. If it wasn't for Summer Glau, I wouldn't have made it through.
@@robertrodriguez1964 I feel u man!!! Lol!
I don't get the hate with Furlong, but I was 12 when this came out. Great film
Neither do I. It was his first role bigger than a television commercial and he was 12-13 when it was made.
Because you were 12. I can’t stand him.
he was amazing in this movie. i loved him
The animated gazelle with Linda Hamilton's head on it, I'm done!!🤣🤣🤣
Just my personal opinion but I agree with Matthew: Terminator and Terminator 2, and ignore everything after.
T3 if you want to make everything make sense because it would be a paradox, but that is a push. Everything else...forget about it.
@Ricardo Alonso Rojas Don't spill your latte on the way out, soyboi.
Well, maaaaybe T: SCC. But that would be a TV series...
I say T1, T2, and T2:3D are the ones to acknowledge!
I will acknowledge Dark Fate as the "true" Terminator 3 for the concept, and the start of it is actually pretty good, but after that it gets...problematic. If they'd made it more about Sarah and the Terminator instead of characters I really did not grow attached to, I think it would have been much better overall.
Fun fact: action stars wear sunglasses to hide their furious blinking when there’s gunfire. Kate Beckinsale made sure she was so comfortable with the fire arms and weapons, for Underworld so she wouldn’t have to wear them.
I think the music artist Roy Orbison used sunglasses because of the studio/stage lights he always had to endure when working, albeit they really added to his iconic look.
My dad always though he was actually blind until I told him otherwise.
Love her even more now
Roger Moore would close his eyes when shooting any gun. Sean Connery, who had been a soldier as a young man, did not.
Kim Basinger trained for the same effect in her movie with Alec Baldwin, 'The Getaway'.
Clint Eastwood is famously one of the very few Old West actors never to blink when operating a firearm.
When I was a little kid I watched some cartoon on a VHS taped over the Terminator 2. When the cartoon ended, suddenly the apocalyptic scene with burning playground and screaming skeleton appeared. I had nightmares for days. :-)
I guess Im one of the few that aint annoyed with the kid.
Same, I personally think he did a good job considering it was his first time acting.
Same here. Never actually heard anyone complain about him before today.
Maybe its just me.. but when i was young i didn´t really see bad acting, it was like invissible for me.. now... well its very diffrent.
But because i saw this movie originaly as a teen, i´m really used to the sub par acting
So is everyone a good actor in real life? If a movie is going to be realistic then some people should be a little off, like the lady reviewing it.
@ It's all anyone said. If you haven't heard it, you're deaf.
John deserves an oscar for best supporting actor and Linda Hamilton as
well, cause their acting was just good and believable. John just react
as a kid of the 90's would. I was a little shit in the 90's as well, and i am a woman 😄
Also this hand maded action with the truck and the helicopter it is freaking amazing.
You have to understand that these effects were WAY beyond what we had seen at the time it came out. Truly a mind blowing experience when it hit theaters. Personally I think this and Aliens are Cameron's best movies. Titanic is third. I don't even rank Avatar.
Isn't it depressing to think how bad Avatar is? Yeah it broke new ground in 3D, but that's all it did. The story and characters are so generic - and that's not even going into the whole "it's just a Dances With Wolves clone" thing.
I really hope Cameron still has a few bangers in him, but his current swagger hasn't really impressed me..
@@stobe187 He has a little bit of Lucas-itis in him: He's fallen in love with the technology and it has overtaken the story, like George Lucas did with the prequels' overuse of CG and sacrificing story and character development in the process. I think T2 and Aliens are his best movies still. The Abyss is also great, but the interesting thing about that one is that it works just as well even if you completely remove the aliens from it: The human-human interaction is actually better than the alien pay-off.
Muscular Gazelle! 🤣
FYI: Linda Hamilton worked out for 13 weeks, training 3 hours a day, 6 days a week, to get in shape for this movie. Linda's twin sister Leslie also played Sarah, when it was necessary to have both characters in the same shot.
I understand that there are things to not like about movies, like cringe acting, and things like that, but just some friendly advice/constructive criticism. Don't constantly complain about those things. It can really drag the enjoyment of the audience down and make them not want to finish. And I get it. But if you yourself end up being just as grating as whatever it is your complaining about, it becomes a problem. Other than that, I like your work. Just something to keep in mind. Not trying to be mean. See you next time!
SPecially when there's nothing particularly wrong with Furlong's acting in this.
He's doing a good job at portraying a little Youth Punk from the 90's of LA with a troubled childhood and mother.
Edward Furlong was great in his role! Also, you deffinatly should watch Robocop next, or starship troopers!
If she cringed during T2, you can forget about Starship Troopers.
@@Lost_n_Found_1 All the more fun for us viewers ;).
How about watching Starship Troopers after the millions of better movies are watched and they've had lobotomies.
@@tempsitch5632 Starship Troopers is better than half of the movies they've watched :).
@@Vanska0 I love the film, but judging from this, Emily will be rolling her eyes.
>Cringing at Edward Furlong
Damn, that is some disrespect
Yeah, her puns were far worse than him. :P
I feel like you should watch The Abyss now. An underrated gem of a movie to begin with and it's basically the precursor to the SFX to T2.
Underrated, but still doesn't come close to T2's excellence
@Trevor Rogert Be sure to watch the special edition if you didn't. I thought the film itself had some of the best acting from Cameron's filmography.
Going into the movie thinking the kid was annoying before even seeing it tainted your view. Remember the boy is supposed to be pissed and angry...his father was killed by a terminator and his mom has become obsessive to the point of mentally unbalanced and has gone to prison leaving him with foster parents. I don't think he'd ever be a well-balanced happy kid. Plus, he goes on to save humanity...so give the guy a break!
Personally, too many wisecracks in this reaction... it's appropriate for a comedy but ruins the mood for me viewing suspenseful action scenes.
Too much beer I guess. Some people just can't shut the f up spewing dumb jokes, cheap irony and inappropriate sarcasm while being even a little drunk.
Women: "Men are so insensitive, they never get choked up watching movies."
Men: 31:11
Oh, yeah!
this reminds me :) ruclips.net/video/coOYa4h98M4/видео.html
To be fair, most of us are 12 or so when we see that.
@@Theomite That has nothing to do with how emotions can hit a person. Some people are just more in touch with their feelings than others.
thats bull I get choked up watching clone wars and rebel cartoon series Even if I re watch... Even the Mandalorian I got choked up.. And I'm a 46-year-old guy
I carefully avoid watching/listening/hearing anything about movies I want to see, so I legitimately thought Arnold was the bad guy for the first part of the movie. That sequence in the mall when the T-800 says "get down" was a massive mind f'ck for me. I'm so glad that I got to experience it as it was originally intended.
Actually the marketing for this film informs you that Arnold is good in this movie, which is very strange to me but I guess because He was so popular in the 1st film they wanted to make it clear he was good for the sequel.
To me, Edward Furlong did a great job playing the role of John Connor even though you nearly got me cracked up by your jokes! Since you've enjoyed watching this movie, check out Terminator 3 & see how good y'all think that makes you feel about the 1st and 2nd movie!
“Got a splitting headache” 😂 good one.
"Come with me if you want to live". Best pickup line EVER!
Emily:"Talk about traffic coming to a dead standstill"
Matthew: 'sighs'
Link - looks on disapprovingly😂
Btw I didn't know Eric McCormack from Will and Grace was in this!🤯
I actually met Linda Hamilton at a convention and I got her autograph. She is the sweetest person.
When I was a kid, my dad would take us to rent a VHS tape from a movie rental store (God, those are all really old things). If we couldn't find anything, we would just rent Terminator 2. So I ended up watching Terminator 2 about a hundred times growing up. I was so fascinated by the T-1000 I broke a thermometer and played with the mercury inside (which is apparently super toxic).
During the garage scene he actually caught John twice....he really took his time to bring life to the character.
What I got from this video,, she's a little to immature ,And she doesn't like children too much..
What's to like
A couple of facts:
The actor for the T-1000, Robert Patrick, actually caught Edward Furlong when he was being chased by him in the car park, on the bike in the first take. And then the second take, he nearly caught him again.
Robert Patrick also got the part of the T-1000 by staring into the camera for about 5 minutes without blinking, which unnerved James Cameron so much he cast him.
The T-1000 only blinked 4 times during the whole film.
When the T-1000 is flying the helicopter, in one scene you will see he is holding a gun, flying the helicopter, and loading the gun with a third hand, meaning he made a third hand.
The cop in the hospital that Sarah Connor was in who was killed by the T-1000, that was not special effects, that was his twin brother. Linda Hamilton's double in the factory was also her twin who unfortunately passed away in 2020.
Mathew, are you sure you want to rate this film a "9", rather than, say, a "9.0"?
"you gotta try not to focus on the performance"
Why? He behaves and acts perfectly for a kid his age, he won an award for it and rightfully so.
Mercurial loogie.......best description of that scene lmao!!! 🤣
It blew my mind to hear her instinctively say "BLOOP" when Arnold fired the grenade launcher. We called the m79 all sorts of names, but the one I called it the most often was Blooper. Others called it the "Bloop tube".
The scene with the security guard seeing his double was done with practical effects. The actor had a twin brother and the shot with them looking eye to eye was done in real time with the twin brothers. Very cool.....
I feel like someone insisted to you that John is annoying and now whenever he's on screen you just automatically get into that mindset, which ruins it for yourself. There's nothing wrong with his performance, and all the "annoying" stuff he does is done pretty quickly, as he's kinda forced to grow up, in a sense. Try to ignore what other folks say about movies you're new to, it's obviously having an effect on your opinion 😇
Also whoever said John is annoying was probably doing that thing where they don't know what they're talking about but want to seem like they do so they say something weird or exaggerate in some way to seem like they do 😂
Yeah, because god forbid the idea that people might form that opinion on their own.
@@JakkFrost1 say what you will, but he was light years better than the kid that played Manakin Skywalker in The Phantom Menace.
@@evilproducer01 and light years worse than the kid from Sixth Sense.
@@JakkFrost1 Idiot, she started going off about how annoying he was before the movie had even started.
@@-Devy- so of course that means it would be impossible for her to form her own similar opinion while watching the movie, doesn't it?
Idiot...
And thankfully, like Aliens, there were only 2 movies made and they were able to end on a high point.
Spewing that you lost the "The Terminator" reaction!
😫
Most people call T2 a superior sequel. But as incredible as it is, and as much as I straight up LOOOOVE T2, I think that the first one remains its equal in awesomeness.
(Upon seeing the T1k rising from the checker floor behind the guard:)
"Naww, that is the shit that nightmares are made of!"
...Correct madam. SOOO awesome!
❤👍
Oh, and I can't believe I had to wait 30 years to hear the T1k referred to as a "Mercurial loogie".
Excellent.
The whispered "I'm not sorry" earned a thumbs up
The guard who got spiked in the eye,that was his twin brother that did it.They’ve done many movies together.
They were in Gremlins 2: The New Batch in the cloning lab.
@@blacktronlego That’s right.

You ever seen Shaolin Soccer or Kung Fu Hustle ? Those guys made a movie about lawyers and there is a running gag of shoes being thrown at people during court that is hilarious.
at least kid was played by an actor with right age, not some near 30 year old like they usually get to portray teens
...Except that John is supposed to be 10 years old, and was played by a 13 year old.
agree Hollywood really stretches that sometimes for sure. I understand, sometimes need someone with more experience on screen and as long as you can suspend belief.
Another fun fact: the Galleria is the same mall stormed by Arnold Schwarzenegger in Commando.
I didn't know this one. 👍🏾
The metal "shimmer" the T-1000 does after it traps Arnold is actually because it's broken as hell. In the script and in the extended cut, it doesn't survive the nitrogen unscathed, it can barely hold a form. In the longer version, it's actually not "instinct" that confirms to John that T-1000 is impersonating Sarah; its feet are literally melting into the floor. They removed most of those elements from the final cut but left the 'shimmer', probably because it looked creepy.
SARAH, in 1991 movie set in 1994: "because if a machine, a Terminator, can learn the value of human life, maybe we can too"
AT LEAST 25 YEARS OF REALITY SINCE: lol no
29:17 that distorted body reminds me of the movie "The Thing".. you should add that to your list!
Sara O'Conner VS Ellen Ripley. My vote is Ripley.
Damn, this is like some Chuck Norris vs Santo Saga shit...
Fun fact: The desert scenes in the car after the Pescadero escape ("Hasta la vista, baby") were the first ones shot. Furlong had to dub all of that dialog, because his voice changed during production.
Fun fact: the woman who played the stepmother also played the female marine in the Aliens movie. The red headed kid was in the 90s tv series Salute Your Shorts as the bully named Budnick and he was the voice of the Stoop Kid in Hey Arnold. Another fun fact: the actor who played the guard that got stabbed in the face has an identical twin which how they got the side by side shot of the T1000 turning into him (no split screen trickery needed).
The special edition version has some deleted scenes that really expand on everything, just how much of a learning curve the terminator has to go through, how badly effected by the nitrogen the t1000 was and just how bat-shit Sarah had become since the trauma she suffered in the first movie.
well worth a watch but not something i'd recommend for a first time viewing so im glad you guys watched this version first.
I only watched the special edition for the first time last year and it blew my mind. I couldn't believe they'd had the actor for Kyle Reese back, showing more of Sarah's visions and delusions, even that moment when they're repairing Arnie at the gas station and she almost smashes the chip, it really built on the idea that she hadn't just accepted "Oh he's a good guy", her world has been turned upside down by a machine that looked exactly like him, what reason would she have to just trust him when she had literally disabled him and could run away. So so so so much more there for a fan of the film, I loved it!
@@AthanImmortal and i think that they almost cut the "chip smash" scene entirely for time reasons. Thank God they kept it in later versions because it adds soo much to the film!
Okay. I'll give you the 'splitting headache' joke. That was cute. XD
I got to see this in the cinema first time in the very early 90s. It was literally a unique cinema experience. Commando is a great Arnie action movie with lots of deadpan one-liners.
"What did you do with Solly?". "I let him go."
LMFAO😂😂😁 Talk about traffic coming to a DEAD STAND STILL... Heh Heh!!
I'm literally ROTFLMFAO and now my cat thinks there's something wrong with me. HaHaHaHa.
You guys should really watch American History X to very quickly change your opinion about Edward Furlong. He's not the greatest actor, but with some direction and experience he was definitely capable of pulling his weight in a movie.
It's always weird to find someone my age who can't stop referencing shows from when we were kids/teenagers...
You went from awesome comedies to a movie that resides in my top 5 movies of all time... I kinda love you guys.
Comedies was "someone trying not to give away jokes and laugh" and a genuine flat laughing out loud reaction :)
KEEP IT UP! - You guys ROCK :)
Like others have commented I don't understand the dislike for Edward Furlong. Yes, he is a child actor and yes they can sometimes be annoying. I don't think his acting is cringy it's just he is a kid and specifically a tween with a squeaky voice. It's one of those things you just have to get over to enjoy the rest of the movie.
Jeez, Edward Furlong isn't _that_ bad. I thought the high five scene was funny, and endearing. Might wanna start letting hubby do the editing, lol.
Especially considering he had virtually no acting experience before this movie.
@@Rocket1377 So it's logical, his bad acting is because he's a bad actor.
@@tempsitch5632 I don't know how anyone can say it's bad acting. That's how a lot of kids spoke and acted in the late 80s/ early 90s.
@@Lost_n_Found_1 Nope. Every single thing he does is bad acting because he's a bad actor delivering shitty dialogue. It has nothing to do with the times or his age. It says more about you.
@@tempsitch5632 Actually, this says more about *_you,_* dick head.
I think furlongs squeaky kid voice is cute.
Nope
0:01 HELL YES! T2 is one of my all time favourite films. Can't wait to watch this.
And done - Matthew, I watched this when I was something like 9 or 10, and that nuclear nightmare scene was also what haunted me for years. I'm like you I was blown away by all the practical effects, and I feel like they used CGI just right, not too much. Nothing visually ever came close to it until The Matrix 8 years later, but I still think T2 is probably one of the best stories ever told. Shame they never made any more Terminator movies... None at all, 2 and done, it was perfect, YUP! Agree there!
Emily, I watched this as a kid, so I guess I never found John annoying, and I've never seen it that way, but interesting to see how someone seeing it as an adult considered it. Also keep the dad jokes coming, that's definitely your brand, I don't care how far Matthew rolls his eyes back in his head, they're awesome :D
I love the progression from "L...Linda? Lindaaaaa...? (Was it Blair?)" all the way to "Linda Hamilton! My god, that creature... I wanna be *her* when I grow up!"
Priceless.
I did watch a reaction to this movie by a reactor who had NO IDEA Arnold was the good guy in this, and the reveal in the mall was a total surprise to him. It was a pleasure to watch 👍 Btw I thought Terminator 3 was pretty good 😁
link?
I thought Terminator 3 was excellent as well!
@@cherimiss7983Here ya go: ruclips.net/video/1AyYj_zateo/видео.html
Start watching around 6:15, it's kinda funny to see him come to the realization that Arnold was protecting the kid 👍
@Ricardo Alonso Rojas Hi. I'm not sure what your referring to?
@Ricardo Alonso Rojas Oh ok. Rise Of The Machines-really liked it. Thought Dark Fate was one of the worst movies ever made-it was FULL of politics-fuck that! What does canon stand for?
Her discomfort with the kid's acting is gold! It's gold, Jerry!
Edward Crowbar Hands. The 👌😂
This is one of the greatest action movies ever made. I don´t get why you hate Edward Furlong´s acting. I think he plays his character well
Sorry but that girl is annoying 🤦🏻♂️
The most implausible thing about T2 is that John is supposed to be 10 years old
Fun Fact: The dream/park sequence where we see Linda Hamilton playing with her kids and being all 'normal', that isn't actually Linda Hamilton. That is her real-life twin sister.
@@pulse0000 They were also in Good Morning Vietnam if I remember right.
Hamilton's sister was used in a couple of other scenes too - the final confrontation with the T-1000 when it was mimicking Sarah, and in the garage the mirror scene repairing the T-800, there was no mirror.
Speaking of Harlen Elison, and 'I have no mouth and must scream specifically, he sued Cameron over the first movie claiming that the two were to close to be coincidence. The courts agreed with Elison and that's why he's listed in the credits for the original.
