When this movie came out, the trailers spoiled the big twist, that Arnold was playing the good guy this time. It's nice to see someone actually surprised by this, as was intended.
It was an unavoidable choice really. Since they wanted to up the ante by having two terminators, it made sense that one of them would be on our side. And since the new one was more sophisticated/powerful it made sense that Arnie (the old model) would be sort of the underdog. Future Terminator movies REALLY gave away big details in the trailer, like that John was a terminator (Genisys), etc. I think knowing Arnie was going to be a good guy this time around was okay to reveal to get people interested. To me, this is still the best of the entire series.
@@JustWasted3HoursHere No. Duaffy was right. There were no more Terminator movies after this one.
Like half the trailers today do they spoil half the movie lol.
@John Sensebe There are more terminator movies they're just not as good as the first 2.
This is why reactors should avoid trailers, posters, and any spoilers if they already know they'll be watching a movie, and I'm so glad she did!
@@JustWasted3HoursHere For real? That was super avoidable. "The killer robot that will not stop till gets you. Now... there's two". You don't need to go the whole "one is good" angle.
Ellen Ripley and Sarah Connor are the original badass action ladies.
James Cameron loves his female bad asses.. Even in avatar!
@@mitchclement3773 true. Also Dark Angel and Alita: Battle Angel (which are more than just a naming coincidence).
Not the originals, but they helped re-defined female action heroes, especially in sci-fi...
@@AshLee92490 I forgot about Pam Grier from the 70's
@@chadfalardeau5396 That was exactly who I was thinking about lol...
"How many women can say that they have seen a naked Arnold?" A lot. A lot of women saw a naked Arnold.
Fun fact: Arnold was wearing Hawaiian shorts when he walked in to the bar.
A lot of maids did. 🤣
@UCJyDzrQXrJzVg1szceyQOdA if you've ever heard Arnold do his pain yell in any of his movies when he gets hurt, you probably have some idea of how that all ended
In the 70s he also "exercised" as a personal trainer with hundreds of women at their homes.
Awesome. Great for him!
Fun Fact: The scene where the T-1000 copied the look of Johns mother, that was actually the twin sister of Sarah Connors actor Linda Hamilton (Leslie Hamilton). Another pair of twins was the two cops when the one stabbed the other through the eye
Sadly Linda’s twin sister died last year. RIP…..
Thanks for sharing that background.
I heard a funny story about that:
They brought in every actress with Hamilton's look and build to see if they could be made up to look identical. After exhausting Hollywood they were discussing going further afield when Linda said "Hey, you guys do know I have a twin sister, don't you?"
I wonder if that story's true or just a fun rumor. It'd be great if it was true.
Imagine having to live most of your life being mistaken for your much more successful (depending on your idea of success) twin sister. Must have been like being dead, constantly being denied an identity of your own.
They also used in the mirror scene where camera sweeps behind the characters. Everything was just duplicate where the mirror was and you can only see sarah both in the room and mirror image.
"Another pair of twins was the two cops when the one stabbed the other through the eye".
Sorry, it just struck me funny how weird that sentence would sound in any other context
Your face when you worked out Arnie’s Terminator was good and the T1000 was the villain. Loved it.
omg i cant wait to see this scene!
now we know... it takes aproximately 30 years to unfuck the biggest trailer fuck up in history.
@@Chrius This one, followed maybe next by Darth Maul's double bladed saber, lol. That shoulda been kept under wraps, for sure.
@@vodengc520 I 100% agree. After I saw that, i avoided all star wars ads, cereal boxes, magazine covers, etc...it was difficult. But....when i was surprised that Yoda had a lightsabre, i practically crapped my pants. It was soo worth it. Same thing when I saw Palpatines sabre...i was like "whaaat?!!"
@@slchance8839 exactly. When episode 1 was announced and Lucasfilm was letting little snippets out of behind the scenes and I was following all kinds of rumor mill like websites. I was following it all so closely. I don't think they were as tight to the chest with the info as they are now and all the NDAs. I still loved episode one but I did feel knowing 80% of what was going to happen kinda ruined the movie for me.
From then on I avoided as much as I could beyond the trailers. I'm finding I enjoy movies a lot more. And now trailers basically show the whole movie, I have to avoid those as much as possible now, pretty tough too when RUclips wants to force me to watch trailers before videos I watch!!
I hate it when someone says there is a twist in a movie also. Why in the hell did the Antabellum trailer starts with "you'll never guess the twist ending!" Well now the twist ain't a twist cause it ain't surprising anyone now!
Still one of the best movies ever made; this and Predator are Arnold Schwarzenegger's top films
Conan The Barbarian
True Lies
Total Recall
Running Man
Jingle All The Way
Kindergarten Cop
Did you forget these?
@@telemperor, I've seen most of Arnold's movies, but Predator and Terminator 2 stand out the most for me, and have left a more significant impact; you're missing The Terminator, Commando, Raw Deal, Twins, Red Heat, Last Action Hero and Eraser from your list
@@15blackshirt I only listed the good ones. 🤪
@@telemperor, I'll take all the ones I listed over Total Recall and Jingle all the Way
@@15blackshirt I actually hate Jingle All the Way but my family loved it
Fun fact: during the running scene with the motorbike, Robert Patrick really run sooo fast that he caught up with him so they had to do another take of that one!! He's a legit running man!
Yeah, he trained himself to run like that so he wouldn't look exhausted and look rigid (looking like he's not breathing while running). Great dedication and preparation for his breakout role right there. :D
If Patrick managed to do that, he sure could have become a regular police man.
@@Rares_G4H or an athlete.
Legit fun fact. Thanx for sharing, underrated preformance.
Well, he did track in high school, so he probably had it all down to a science. lol
Arnold was the only actor to be on AFI's 50 greatest movie villains list and their 50 greatest heroes list- and for this same role!
Dope fact. One i didn't know or even consider but so obvious. Appreciate you man for sharing this. And Armold FTW! Fucking legend.
Both the good and bad Terminators shouldve been high on both lists
so true
I highly recommend "TRUE LIES" with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis!
o yes and commando
I will second both of those suggestions.
Yesss!!!! I love that movie too! I'd second it!!
Speaking of True Lies, I'd also recommend Eraser.
specially with the strip dance, but I don't mean to say the rest of the movie is not good, is excellent!!
@@titools4375 HAHA the strip dance!!! Yes that was not expected.
When we saw this in the theatre back in the day, we all lost our god damn minds!! lol
saw it back then twice in the theaters ... what a blast. One of the greatest action movies of all time!
The 90s has so many of my all time favorite action movies... this, Speed, The Rock, The Matrix and many more. Such a great time!
I got a bit of a spoiler - heard a rumour that Arnie was the good guy this time, but wasn't sure. Never mind, still brilliant!
Saw this in the theater when I was 9 with my dad and my brother. My mind was blown just by the future war sequence. It turned me into a bona fide movie fan.
My friend's brother said, "I can't wait for Terminator 2 this summer. It's gonna be 2 hours of constant action!"
I thought that sounded pretty good. It was, however, A LOT better than just "2 hours of constant action".
I really love the weird little family unit of John, Sarah, and the Terminator.
I actually appreciate that NONE of it passed you. I remember watching this when it came out and two of the three peopleI was with constantly asked what was going on. it was only later that I found out they hadn't seen the original movie. I said "Who the f*ck goes to a sequel without having seen the original?"
"Honestly I would not expect a third."
Good, because there isn't one.
While I agree,
I kinda like how T3 closed the loop of inevitably, and "time travel" in this movie universe cannot be changed , the film had issues of course but the premise was great
Fact. Even tho there was technically Rise of the Machines 😉
🤣🤣🤣
Agree , there is NO third part!
There are no third terminator movie here.
Here, we are safe.
Here, we are free.
23:59 " Take the pieces, so they can't go together again!!!" I've been saying that for 30 years! 😂
i always thought, just pick up the frozen body and chuck it in the molten steel
It melted too fast. It might have worked if he didnt melt right away.
I always thought it would've been smarter to not shoot him and pick up the frozen solid Terminator and toss it in the "lava"
>>> " Take the pieces, so they can't go together again!!!" I've been saying that for 30 years!
All they needed to defeat the T-1000 was 40 or 50 cereal bowls.
@@UTU49 I would've chucked it when it was still whole into the "lava"
It took 7 years in the making for this sequel. CGI was not advanced when the first one came out, but Cameron's the Abyss came out in 89 and use cgi to test how it looks. He knew it was the right time to use CGI for the T2. However CGI was not the only reason it took years to make this film. There was also dispute about the property right of the film that had been going between hemdale film corporation and and Carolco pictures which eventually hemdale gave the right carolco for $ 5 million.
@Gerald H Yeah. Even though for a movie that came out 30 years ago, the CGI stills looks good.
The CGI artist actually wrote a software specifically for this movie (or for some scenes) and it is still today challenging to replicate because the details of that software were never disclosed.
There's a channel of guys making special effects who tried to recreate the scene where the T1000 passes through bars using different techniques but they still didn't get a result that was as smooth.
ILM were also using the CG in T2 as a testing ground for Jurassic Park.
@Gerald H

The ending to the theatrical version is considered better as the movie ends on a black rain soaked road like her monologue before as Sarah gives a speech about hope rather than what they did here.
I am pretty sure the extended version on my "ultimate" dvd ends with the dark road monologue and the happy ending is a part of the extra material.
Edit: And yes it is alot better
@@mikgus I think this is some kind of directors cut as this is the second or third reviewer to use this. Also in the original, it doesn’t show as many of the T-1000 glitches at the end like this one does.
Whaaat?! I never knew there was a second ending.
@@Jantzku there are 2, the one that i mentioned and the one she watched but it didn’t show which has Sarah back at the fire park with John as a child like in her nightmare except the world doesn’t end. It’s a fairy tale ending of sorts
@@jamiesucie2685 now i am curious if i remember correct, but i don't have a region free dvd player at the moment so i can't see it.
The reason the T1000's feet are forming to where he's walking and you see the ripple effect in his face is not so much because of the heat but because he's beginning to break down/malfunction after being damaged and reforming so many times.
He was just a prototype after all
@@GeorgeTropicana Exactly
Almost all of the effects in this movie are practical, including almost all of the stunts like the drainage channel chase and the helicopter chase, and even most of the scenes with the T-1000 being deformed from damage. But it's shocking that the T-1000's effects still hold up so well today.
and when the T-1000 copies a person and both are on screen at the same time, that was done with identical twins, including Linda Hamilton and her twin sister.
Even the molten metal and lighting effects in the foundry are all practical.
Indeed, really great use of practical effects and tricks (like using Linda's twin sister and a double for Arnold in the scene where they had to reset Arnold). The only complain I have with the Terminator makeup was the ending scene where his left arm was already gone. It's obvious that his real left arm is hiding under the jacket because of the bulk. I would imagine this was really difficult to hide given that Arnold has big muscular arms. haha. Other than that, really well done! T2 effects is so good that it beats a lot of recent movies that use CGI heavily ('cause most CGI effects don't look natural when overused and not done correctly).
Hold up, for the time it was made, yes. However, you can see how it's not as blended into the scene as the newer effects from other movies are.
@@gundummies CGI is really only still easily noticed in organic stuff, inorganic stuff is hardly ever noticed. I personally like the liquid metal effects in the newer movies, because it looks more accurate. Just like the real use of mercury in this movie when the beads of it are rolling around together far outdoes the CGI liquid metal in the movie.
It's all down hill from here. This movie has withstood the test of time. It's one of the best sequels ever made. ranks up there with the best of them.
also, the CGI still holds up. that is mind blowing.
@@szepi79 I'm more amazed how they were just as creative with effects in the first movie without a big budget - saw the makings of both
I enjoyed The Sarah Connor Chronicles. The movie sequels were bad though.
@@Deathbird_Mitch I enjoyed it too, unfortunately Fox killed it way too soon
@@JoshHowardChannel Definitely.
"Why do you keep shooting him?"
Every little bit helps to slow the bugger down, giving you time to escape. Desperation. :)
The actress who plays Sarah Connor, whose name escapes me right now, has an identical twin, so the scenes where there's two of them, there's actually two of them 😎
Yes! And in the scene where Sarah fixes T-800's CPU in the "mirror," they built a mirrored set on the far side with a clear window in between. On the far side, Linda Hamilton is pretending to dig around in Arnold's brain. In the foreground, Linda's identical twin sister Leslie is digging around in a prop T-800 head and mirroring Linda's motions and speech.
Linda Hamilton and Leslie Hamilton. Unfortunately Leslie passed away last year…..
Same for the security guard getting coffee, he and his twin brother.
@@darnell7871 didn't hear about that 😢 RIP
@DarnellOB98
Aww damn, I didnt know that. R.I.P. Leslie.
7:14 he reports back in with the dead officer's voice. As far as command knows the officer is out on patrol .
Poor Duaffy. Giving all the reasons why this is a perfect movie that doesn't need a sequel, and feeling exactly how the rest of us felt when Terminator 3 came out...
Wait until she finds out dark fate
@Ricardo Alonso Rojas what? That film is genuinely disgusting
"By now, she's probably assuming that her son is _dead."_
Oh, no. They had told her that her son was _missing._ She knows this much about the methods of the T-800; it does not clean up remains. If it had found her son and killed him, they would've _found_ him and told her he was _dead._ The fact that they _hadn't_ left her room to believe he was not only still _alive,_ but aware he was being _hunted,_ and _hiding,_ and no doubt, employing methods she had made it a point to make sure he had _learned._
The kid is actor Edward Furlong. He as also in American History X, which is another one you should add to your list.
and the heavily underrated/seen "Little Odessa" which Furlong has said is the performance and film he is most proud of in his career.
Miles Dyson is a great character. In just a short period of screen time he comes across as intelligent, a loving family man, courageous, and determined. I always wondered if he was modeled after Lieutenant Commander Ronald Macnair who died in the Challenger explosion.
His death hits hardest in the movie.
Eh, questionable. Dyson redeems himself, but he was pretty skeevy before that. He knew Cyberdyne was up to some incredibly-shady shit, but he turned a blind eye so he could play with their toys. Not exactly the actions of a responsible person.
@@michaelccozens that passionate monologue he gives his wife about the automated pilot never getting tired, probably points to the extent of his idea of what the technology would be used for. I'm sure if he categorically knew the technology would be harnessed to eliminate mankind, he'd at least express some misgivings about it all.
So happy that Duaffy is watching The 2 Terminator.
Robert Patrick (the guy who plays the liquid T1000 terminator) trained so hard for the role, its insane how terrifying he is. He trained to not blink even when rapid firing guns, so much that he only blinks ONCE the whole movie, where he first fires his whole magazine at Arnie, and he was actually upset that they didn't have time to reshoot it. He trained to not pant or show his breathing when running. And he ran so fast that in the first take when John Conner tries to escape him on the bike, he CAUGHT THE BIKE. Imagine the first time you see the actor that is meant to be hunting you down, and he outruns a motorbike.
Back in 1992, i was 5 year old and that was the first movie i saw in a theatre with my dad. To say it was incredible is a serious understatement. To this day i consider it as one of the all time best action movies of all time. And your reaction is just priceless. It pretty much took me back to those early years as a kid - the excitement, the horror, the thrill all bundled up together, cause you do not know what to expect.
I want to see the version with thousands of tiny Terminators.
Gotta catch 'em all.
Be like the mini Ash's in "Army of Darkness"
@@daremo5284 ooooo, I wonder if Duaffy would like Army of darkness.
@@gorillarawfare1963 gotta watch Evil Dead 2 first
@@tomgrant29 personally I preferred the first over the second one, but really it gets explained in the first few minutes of Army of Darkness. But really watching either of the first two is more just fun of the juxtaposition to the third.
yep, this is the end. This movie is so perfect that no other Terminator movie can reach this level. And hasn't so far ... all further sequels are not really worth watching.
T2 is one of those action movies which only happen once a decade: Aliens, Die Hard, T2, Total Recall, The Matrix, Mad Max Fury Road, John Wick
I also recommend "True Lies" ...
Yeah, I wouldn't recommend Duaffy watching the rest of the Terminator sequels. They aren't anywhere near as good as the first two. They just drag out the story, and then they use time travel shenanigans to reboot and retcon the story so much that you no longer care about what's happening.
I have to disagree. Yes, T3: Rise of the Machines is inferior, because it tries to rehash the same thing all over again. But I feel like after that, they learned. Terminator: Salvation was a fascinating perspective on things, with incredible FX and sound design. Terminator: Genisys, ok, that one's kinda T3-like, but it's not a _bad_ movie by any means. And Terminator: Dark Fate was great!
@@sandwiched Terminator 2 is a must see. But if you plan to it is not bad to watch the first movie before.
Terminator 3 is an entertaining movie and is not bad for it's own, but can't stand the quality of Terminator 2 and you will be disapointed if think it will be as epic as the second part. A 3rd movie was not needed, but is an interessting one if you watch it for one time.
Genesys I would say is allright, but do not feel like a real Termator movie. It is more like a spin off.
Genesys is fun but haven't any good story or is very deep.
Dark Fate I did not really like. It was like some other movies that try to have some old main actors in it old days and try to recreate something you can't copy anymore.
The only thing I found good about T3, was exploring how a different terminator could be, but mostly I thought after watching it, it was not only not necessary, it didn't live up to the expectations created by the first two.
I can agree with the sequel movies not being as good. I personally had a lot of fun with Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. It ignored all movies after T2 and told it's own story. Plus it had great characters, Summer Glau and Lena Headey where amazing.
"He's not coming, he already came" - That's what she said

@@UTU49 Did it ever die?
@@jp3813
Well... no... lol. But it's been years since I saw it this frequently.
She likes guys pole, what's the big deal? Some people enjoy piping.
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.
The "thats what she said"... Comedic gold + memories from the Office 🥺
The naked time travel thing is to explain why the time travellers can't come back to our time with futuristic weapons, etc.
It's also a one way trip. At least in this universe.
It's a silly limitation when you think of it, it is so easy to get around (as the Terminator itself proves), you just need to send the weapons back inside a living organism (dog, human, whatever).
@@pedanticperson1149 Actually funny you should say that. In the Robocop vs Terminator comic wayyyy back, I remember that's exactly what they did. The terminators sewed some hand weapons inside a human prisoner, then ripped em out when they arrived.
If you can't travel with weapons or other technology, why is it possible at all to transport a terminator through time, which is nothing more then technology?
@@HairFU It's surrounded by living tissue which disguises the endoskeleton
I couldn't help but to notice the background music during your intro was just, I can't even describe it, it was purely stress-relieving... I really loved it!
Btw, Arnold has said the "I'll be back"-line in other movies too, they even make fun of it in The Last Action Hero and The Expendables 2.
He also uses it in The Running Man.
@@Wungolioth That would be one of his movies, yes.
@@JW666 in which he says "I'll be back", which is notable in this one because the villain has a very snarky reply
To think in some alternate reality the line would’ve been “I will be back”
Good thing James Cameron was stubborn
"Let's dress up as classical music composers for Halloween."
"I'll be Bach."
Interesting trivia for you, Duaffy. They had to reshoot the garage scene at the mall several times, because Robert Patrick kept catching the motorcycle!
I also love the one where Robert learned how to fire the handgun without blinking. Even Arnold blinked in the first Terminator when he was firing his gun (though he WAS praised by weapons experts on his handling of the different guns he used).
That can happen when you hire a pro-track athlete to play him. ;)
The Special Director's Cut of this movie has the perfect ending, so you can ignore all the rest of the nonsensical movies, on a fun fact Robert Patrick (T-1000) trained to fire a gun to almost never blink in order to look more emotionless and machine like.
He also trained to be physically fit, like he trained himself to run and not be exhausted. That's why when you see him run in the movie, he looks rigid - looking like he's not breathing & keeping a straight face. In the shooting of the chase scene in the galleria parking, he even actually caught up to John's motorbike irl. Such a badass.
He also held his breath during most of the actions (I don't think while he was running, but for the rest)
Any instructor tells you not to blink or flinch while shooting, or you miss.
He had to go above anybody else to not show anything. He owned this iconic role.
great, great reaction .Duaffy, this is why we won't spoil the experience for you. We love the gut reactions playing across your face as realization after realization dawns on you. Forbidden Planet from 1956 (YES 1956) will send you under the covers quaking in fear (at least it did me when I saw it in a drive-in with my family lo these many years ago)...I was a lucky kid , growing up with great parents and siblings all of us into the miracles of movies and sci-fi. Some of my dad's work is on the moon still working to measure its distance from earth,
Dyson's death haunted me in 1991. I was 9 years old and it took me forever to get past it...
Then... fast forward to 2021... I watched my own father pass away and take his last breath. And it's VERY accurate on how Dyson does it.
“Wants to terminate his own colleague” that made me lol 😄
ANOTHER FUN FACT: Linda Hamilton's twin sister, Leslie (RIP), played Sarah also in the garage scene in the mirror and the T-1000 at the end.
I cannot get over finding this out...due to your comment, 30 years after seeing this film. LOOL I actually had no idea

@@thereturningshadow
Do you know how Leslie Hamilton died?
@@UTU49 Nope. They never listed publicly a cause of death. I guess they feel it's no one's business but theirs. and they are right.
This movie is such a classic. It's one of the all-time greatest action movies ever. The opening in the future with the Terminator's glowing red eyes burning a hole into your soul, the motorbike chase, the hospital escape, the scary-as-hell T-1000 with special effects that still hold up really well today. All of it incredible.
These special effects look pretty cool even today. Imagine what it was like in 1991!
FUN FACT: Arnold wore bright vibrant Bermuda Shorts when filming the bar scene.
Purple in colour.
I need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle
That explains the waitress’ reaction, she really liked vibrant Bermuda.
Duaffy,
Shooting the T-1000 slows him down just a bit due to physics. The impact o the bullet on his "body" mean his "body" must move in a reactive way. Like when Arnold shot him in the hip, it took his leg out from under him for a moment to making him recover first then continue moving on.
Your reaction at 21:50....... And that you couldn’t see Miles Dyson’s sacrifice..... That’s the most genuine reaction I’ve ever seen. I, too, felt so very bad for him. Watching that scene in theaters 30 years ago, I didn’t like that his character had to die. That scene where Sarah Connor wanted to kill him and seeing his sad reaction that he was gonna die in front of his family-still to this day-is heartbreaking.😔💔 Miles Dyson wasn’t an evil scientist who knew anything about Skynet. He was someone who was very passionate about his work and just wanted to do something better for the world. And it costs him his life.
I think one of the things that really elevates this movie that doesn't get discussed much is the score. The music in this film is excellent.
Fun Facts: 1. The actor playing as the T-1000 (Robert Patrick), when he chased after the bike running, he had to be told several times by the director to "slow down" because he was able to catch up to the bike from being too fast 😄
2. Skynet is afraid of the T-1000. It's the most intelligent infiltration unit it ever made, virtually indestructible to all forms of physical damage and able to easily mimic human emotions, it was a super fast learner, so Skynet stopped making them from fear it would learn empathy and then learn how to beat Skynet
I always loved how the T-1000 is clearly more intelligent and doesn't have the more basic intelligence the T-100 has. It taunts people, it shows emotions like fear and anger. I wish they'd made the third movie about this theory I've seen, where Skynet developed empathy over time and intentionally made the time machine to prevent itself from ever being created.
Patrick also hit Arnold really hard with a crowbar and Arnold told him "don't do that again".
"He can't keep himself solid. It's too hot."
Honestly, this has never ocurred to me. I thought the idea was that his system glitched because of the liquid nitrogen thing. Interesting insight. ^^
Yes he took damage in the explosion. It has nothing to do with an inability to stay solid. The glitch is that he can't help copying anything he's touching. His face takes on the grillwork texture, his feet take on the floor texture. Not a liquid/solid issue. His mimic software is damaged.
I think I saw in a BTS video, James Cameron did say that it was the bout with the liquid nitrogen that is causing his glitches.
well the T-1000 was a prototype...and prototypes ALWAYS have a flaw somewhere. the liquid nitrogen caused its ability transform to not function properly...and that was how it lost.
@@IDyce88 also he took a lot of damage through the entire movie, it got some effect on him.
@@piotrk6519 some yes...but most didn't phase him much...it was primarily the explosion of the tanker and then the liquid nitrogen that did it.
Released 30 years ago.
One of the greatest sequels of all time.
James Cameron's magnum opus, pre-TITANIC.
Kudos to you for viewing the special extended edition.
So awsome to see someone watchin T2 for the first time. James Cameron knew exactly how to tell the story in a way, you wouldn't expect the Terminator is the hero in this movie.
Try "Kindergarten Cop" or "Twins"next. You've seen all the Terminators that are worthwhile.
I loved KINDERGARTEN COP and JINGLE ALL THE WAY. To me JINGLE ALL THE WAY was way too harshly panned by snooty film critics, it's just what one needs to get in the holiday spirit.
We all know Arnold's best movie is Jingle All the Way or the one where Arnold is pregnant Junior.
To me, this is possibly the best terminator movie out of all of them. Great reaction Duaffy 🙏🏾
This is definitely the best one I've seen. I haven't checked out Dark Fate yet, but have literally never heard anything good about it either so I'm not expecting it to surpass this film.
Duaffy's engineering kicking in wondering what temperature it would take to destroy T-1000.
In the first movie, Reese assaults a cop, steals his gun, flees, breaks into a store, steals shit, escapes the cops, then steals a shotgun from them before walking away.
5:02 "Did he just attack a cop???" 🤣
Love your channel 💕
Aliens, for me, is the best Sci-fi Action movie ever made.
i think this one is, but i would say aliens is a close second
Terminator 2 is better than Aliens in every way possible; Aliens is just Vietnam in space, while Terminator 2 is a family film at heart
For me, best Sci-Fi Action movie is Blade Runner (1982). Best Sci-Fi movie period, in my humble opinion. But only if you accept that Deckard is NOT a replicant. If he's a replicant, as Ford contends, then the movie is pointless.
@@billt8504 blade runner is not an action movie
@@billt8504 matrix is one that would also be in a top 5 for sure
Saw this in the theatres long before the internet, such a great action movie.
I enjoyed this reaction. Thank You. It's still one of my all time favourite movies.
I was walking around Seattle Center one beautiful afternoon in mid-2008 when I suddenly heard the Terminator theme playing *out of nowhere.* I crouched behind a bush instinctively & thought, _Oh, shit, it’s happening!!!_
Turned out that wasn’t really (my) Judgement Day! There’s actually this awesome Sci-Fi & Fantasy Hall of Fame museum there with an outdoor speaker hidden under that bush. I have never handed an institution my money more quickly than I did then and there. Excellent exhibition! Highly recommended!
The actress who played the foster mom was Vasquez in "Aliens"
Fun Fact: James Stringer has never been mistaken for a man.

To answer 2 questions of yours in the climax sequence.
1-) T1000 can't keep its chameleonic function together not because it's too hot but because being frozen and thawed. It starts to glitch hence it begins to morph into anything it touches (the floor, the banister etc.) and therefore it has to refresh itself almost constantly.
2-) Our guy revives after being impaled thanks to his sensors picking up heat signatures around him according to the commentary in dvd set.
Another kind of answer for that exists in the book novelization by Randall Frakes who did a fantastic job adapting both first and second movies to books really. May god bless him. In the book, our guy plays a strategy called "Strategy 9085" after sustaining extensive damage by T1000 and fakes dead. Meaning; he never really dies after being impaled merely fakes dead so he could avert being terminated by his opponent . Shortly after that as you know, he launches a grenade into T1000 therefore it loses its center of gravity irrecoverably and topples back into the molten lava and the rest is history. :)
I watched this the week it hit theaters, with a friend of mine who is an American-born great-grandson of H. G. Wells, author of "The Time Machine" and "The War of the Worlds". At the end he turned to me in the theater and said, "Zero flaw?" In October of the same year (1991) he and I discovered a cave near Hamilton Valley in Kentucky, and in choosing a temporary "code name" for the cave, before its discovery became official, we briefly considered "Linda's Cave", for T2 star Linda Hamilton. Holy shit, as I write this I now realize that this was 30 years ago exactly.
"how many people can say they've seen Arnold Schwarzenegger naked?"
His maid?...
I was thinking the same thing. ;)
His mother?
His parents, wife and children?
Duaffy,
Arnold's catch phrase or I'll Be Back was used by him in most movies thru the 80s and 90s. Even before this one.
Commando has the best one.
Duaffy referring to the Terminators as ''colleagues'' is the best thing in this reaction.
The moment that still gets me to this day is when Sarah first sees the terminator in the mental hospital. Throughout the entire first part of the film, we see how much Sarah has changed from the meek woman she was in the original movie. She's hardened, fit, and ready to kick anybody's ass to get out of there and protect her son from Arnold. As soon as she sees him, though? All that goes right out the window and she reverts to the terrified, helpless woman in an instant. Brilliant acting by Linda Hamilton.
And loved the way she screamed "noooo!"
In Spain, the phrase is actually "sayonara, baby", cos "hasta la vista" was too obvious. And a part of the latest one was filmed in Lavapiés, here in Madrid, about 5 minutes walk from my house. And I found out too late!
Y la mitad de los actores eran españoles XD
"How many women can say that they saw a naked Arnold?" ....Since he became governor? A good bunch....
That's why terminators have their memory wiped. They learn from humans and grow compassion. "I now know why you cry."
Agreed! This is my favorite of the Terminator franchise.
I loved this movie when i was a kid.
sequels can always be shoehorned in a story :)
There are 2 seasons of the television series "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" That takes up where this movie leaves off.
Amazing movie from start to finish! Great reaction as usual D! That "Thumbs Up" in the end is absolutely iconic!
In 1991 no one had ever seen anything like this before. This movie is every single kind of special effect style ever made crammed into a single movie.
The ONLY thing I recognize after this movie is the (sadly) short lived TV series Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles. Only 2 seasons but it's so good. Has one of the best explanations for this film by John himself: "The first time I sent back a solider. His name was Kyle Reese. The second time I sent a machine. I used to wonder why I did that? Why did I take that risk? I don't wonder anymore. Human beings can't be replaced."
The nuke scene scares the crap out of me because that can most definitely happen
James Cameron actually got a letter from a nuclear weapons development lab saying that it was the most accurate depiction of a nuclear explosion
The people burning in that clip? They're the lucky ones. Further away, and you get to suffer the agonizing days- or weeks-long death of radiation poisoning, as the "Chernobyl" series illustrated so well (and they toned-down the gore and suffering in that depiction significantly).
Nobody should have nuclear weapons. We're objectively not responsible enough.
'Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles' series picks up after T2 and goes in it's own direction from the other sequels. Much better than T3. I loved it.
That TV show was a wild ride.. And the female terminator in season 2 she was amazingly played and seemed so real till you found out she was a terminator.. A far more advanced model than the T-1000 also might i add
@@speedymaster5758 Played by the lead singer of rock bad Garbage (Shirley Manson.)
@@junior602002 She did a epically amazing job as a advanced model terminator.. Like a t-1000 but more advanced
@@speedymaster5758 Model T-1001 apparently.
That show sucks, but I guess there's plenty of you have have absolute shit taste
Arnold really wanted the round glasses that Linda ended up getting for her Dyson scene.
The T-1000 was such an instant iconic character that Mike Myers invited Robert Patrick to reprise the role in Wayne's World, when I saw it in the cinema the entire audience caught their breath before laughing at Wayne's reaction.
This was truly the Magnum Opus of the series. After this, I don't believe James Cameron was really too involved with the movies (maybe a producer at most, since it was his creation originally), so his vision was pretty well swept away after this.
So glad no one spoiled the twist for this one to you, Arnie is the good guy now! 😆
"I would not expect a third" - so now you need to see Terminator 3 - Rise of the Machines. Another good Arnie movie!! Having tried to remove both John and Sarah Conner - they now try to remove him when he is older, along with some other key members of the Resistance. Its a good movie
Hard to believe I found your gaming channel about a year ago, where you were posting your reactions. You're still one of the few channels I follow and this is one of my favourite movies of all time!!! Worth the wait.
The original cut ending is better than this extended cut.
Certainly in the sense of keeping some effective dramatic ambiguity. It's just that, in hindsight, it could've also spared us all subsequent sequels.
@@moviemaestro800 nah that wouldn't have stopped them.
I agree. And I would say the original cut is better overall. There were several scenes I saw here where I was thinking , what is she watching? Where did these scenes come from. There is a reason there are editors. All of these additional scenes were left on the cutting room floor for a reason.
@@jjohnson4474 Sometimes, though, that reason is due to studio demands to keep the film under a certain length for maximized screening quantities and (by proxy) easier profits, at the expense of allowing things to fully make sense. What's nice is that these added scenes are indeed not strictly necessary for the film to work as well as it does, but I think they're a nice bonus that makes some moments feel just a bit more rewarding. The additional scenes with Miles Dyson, for instance
@@moviemaestro800 Cameron said himself that the footage that was cut was for pacing and because it wasn't really needed to tell the story. Especially in the middle of the film in the space between the escape from the mental hospital and then the decision to kill Dyson, there is a big lull. He said he was glad that the footage could be restored to some cuts on the DVD release just so that people could see it, but that in watching it it should also be a lesson it what really is or is not necessary to tell a story. However... even on the Director's Cut version on the DVD... the original ending is still there along with the footage that was added in before it. The ending wasn't changed for pacing reasons it was changed because the terser more ambiguous ending they changed it to was a better ending. They only slapped on the alternate ending in later "extended cuts" of the film, and that wasn't Cameron's decision. I'm not even sure if Duaffy saw that version of the ending or not.. because she didn't include her reaction to it here and I'm not on Patreon so I didn't see the full thing.
"It's like he's made with mercury you know?" Funny the scene where the Terminator reconstitutes after being frozen was actually made with mercury.
Was it really? I'd have assumed they used Gallium because it's less hazardous.
@@Aurich88 yes it was Gallium. Mercury would be too toxic to work with. Especially in the quantity they had here.
Sarah’s monologue in thr beginning was that skynet had managed to send 2 terminators back, 1 before john’s birth and another when he was a teen. She then says that a protector was sent just like before. The obvious assumption for people who werent spoiled by the marketing was it would be a human. Since we knew arnie played the terminator the first time around and the t1000 terminator wasnt shown killing the cop and showing more emotions, people assumed he was the good guy.
Fun fact, Robert Patrick who played T-1000, actually trained himself for 2 weeks for him do not flinch when he fires a gun, because Robots don't flinch.
And when T-1000 Chased John when he was on a dirt bike and T-1000 was running, Robert Patrick had to run slower, because he catched the bike
They don't ALL look alike, but it makes sense that there would be lots of the same design. So while "That Terminator was destroyed" is accurate, he's just one of many of the same model. Not covered in the movie the Arnold model is a T-800, while the other one is a T-1000, and there are other designs.
When he says about model 101 (as well as T-800) I think the 101 bit is their appearance. So in the original terminator, in one future scene they do show another T-800 but with a different appearance.
@@usgreth Was Summer Glau's character in the TV series a T-800 too? I seem to remember she was.
@@jeremyfrost2636 I never saw the tv series (sarah connor chronicles?) so don't know, sorry :)
@@usgreth I checked the Terminator wiki. It says T-889. If you can find the show, I recommend watching it. 3rd best Terminator content after the first two movies. Sadly it ended on a cliffhanger after not being renewed though.
By far the best Terminator movie of all of them. DO NOT PROCEED PAST THIS POINT!!!!!!
I think Terminator 3 is good too
@@themiIes me too
@@24579641 I find most of T3 ridiculous but the ending leaves me with goosebumps.
The best way to proceed is to play Terminator: Resistance, lol. That's my Terminator 3, because it happens during the future war, and ties in very well to the end of the war and the time travel aspects.
@@vodengc520 agreed. Plus as the player it actually makes us scared of the terminators again while also staying consistent with lore from the first 2 films. Strange how two franchises with James Cameron, alien and terminator, turn to garbage with the third movie and then the best things to come afterwards are video games
Always great to see people watch it not being spoiled by the trailers from the release time who do not know about Arnold being the good one. Love it.
“You son of a flower!” Great! 😂
Subscribed.
"Other than that, I couldn't come up with an idea"
Don't worry, neither could they.
T2 was a perfect bookend to the 2 movies, and honestly none of the sequels come remotely close and (to me) feel like a cash grab on the Terminator name and I wouldn't bother watching them.
Though, I did hear that the TV series - The Sarah Connor Chronicles - was good
Well said man
I think the TV series is really good. Such a shame it was cancelled by after two seasons!
@@Will-nn6ux Some day I'll need to give it a watch. I know Summer Glau and Lena Headey, but have never actually seen it
@@Krytos911 Shirley Manson is terrifying in it!
@@Will-nn6ux Wow, as in lead singer from Garbage!?
"Best one yet from the saga"? No, no, there is no "yet". This one IS the best. You can tell me how you like three or Dark Fate or whatever, but none of that is better than this right here.
Dang, so refreshing to see someone who actually didn't know the twist.
29:15 You understimate the power of retcons.
This is the best Terminator movie by far. Thank you for the video. You actually noticed something I had not. I never understood why the T-1000 started to malfunction while touching metal objects, towards the end of the movie,, but the intense heat of the foundry makes sense.
When i was a kid i was like, "dont shoot the frozen terminator, throw him in the lava"!😲
Fun trivia: In one scene, Dougie the orderly had to hit Sarah in the stomach and she had to drop to her knees. The guy couldn't do a convincing job hitting her, but she still dropped to her knees take after take and it hurt a lot. So when it was her turn to smack him in the face with the mop handle, SHE DID. She beat the shit out of him. One take.
that's messed up, poor guy. If I was that guy I would have sued her and the movie for that crap
@@poluticon She did it to protect him.
So she's a shitty actor that shouldn't be doing stunts, then
There were in fact several movies made, but in Arnold's words "they were all bad."
None of them are worth watching.
I thought the 3rd one was tolerable. But I wouldn't say to go out of your way for it.
It's like the Jurassic Park franchise: there's only one good movie in each series, but for some reason people keep watching the bad ones, too.
@@michaelw8262 The Terminator franchise has two great movies.
@@jp3813 Nope, T2 is good, the rest are bad. The only good parts of the original are the ones James Cameron ripped off from Harlan Ellison, which got him sued and Ellison a writing credit. In fact, T2 is pretty easily the best movie Cameron has made, since most of his are bad.
@@michaelw8262 If T1 was bad, T2 wouldn't have been made to begin with.
The t-1000 is in advance prototype of Skynet. Design perfectly to hunt down other terminators. Both the t-800 (ARNOLD) and the t-1000 both share the same programming of Skynet it's only their parameters that separate them. The t-1000 has what is called tactile senses, meaning that everything that he physically touches he can not only sample it but he can also mimic which means he can mimic almost anything, clothes, skin, hair, and other fabrics.
I do love seeing people who were never exposed to the big plot twist react to this movie! I'd hope that James Cameron would be gratified that people can finally enjoy the movie as he intended, without having it spoiled by the pre-release advertising.
With regards to sequels... Cameron considered a third movie in the mid 90s, thinking that it might be set in the "Future War" era of the 2020s, but never seriously pursued the idea and eventually decided that he'd said all he could say with the two existing movies. However, he didn't own the rights to the films or characters (even though he created them), so he had no control over what might come next. The guys who did own the rights were eager to make a sequel and were eventually able to get the funding they needed in the early 2000s. They asked Cameron to come back but he refused, so they decided to proceed without him. The director did however give his blessing to Schwarzenegger, who was eager to reprise the role, so the third movie was made.
Terminator 3 was supposed to kickstart a fresh cycle of films and though it was successful, it wasn't successful enough to justify the huge budgets that future movies would retire. Six years later another company would buy the rights and they made Terminator: Salvation. It was a semi-sequel to Terminator 3 and was intended as the first movie in a new trilogy, but again it wasn't successful enough to justify more instalments.
There would be two more attempts to reboot the franchise, with the last one being overseen by Cameron, who had regained ownership of the rights, but they both failed. I wouldn't be surprised if there were more Terminator movies to come, but as far as I'm concerned the series came to a perfect end with T2!
