Robert Patrick/T1000 said that throwing Arnold/THE Terminator through walls was about the funnest thing he's done as an actor.

Arnold’s metal skeleton is called a T-800. There are thousands of “skin coverings”; each looking like a different person. Any skin covering that looks like Arnold is a CSM-101(Cyberdyne Systems Model-101). A CSM-102 will look like someone else. A CSM-103 will look like someone else.

The woman who played John’s foster mom, Jeanette Goldstein, also played Pvt. Vasquez in ‘Aliens’ and the Irish mom putting the children to bed as the ship was sinking in ‘Titanic’.

"If they manage to destroy this thing in this movie, then what's the point of the rest." A question people have been asking for a long time now.

Thank god there were only two Terminators! Yup I’m in denial for decades!!! Only two! Perfect duo

Terminator budget $6.4M. Terminator 2 budget $102M. Almost 16 times the budget.

Fun fact: one needs two hands to fly a helicopter. If you look closely, the T-1000 grows a third arm when flying the helicopter so it can keep shooting.

In both movies when Arnold says he'll be back he's driving through the door with a car :D

"The Body's still recognizable, she needed to do more".. LOL

"I want to be a terminator." That Amanda Miquilena is out there. She can't be bargained with, she can't be reasoned with, she doesn't know pain or fear, and she absolutely will not stop, ever, until you push the like button, subscribe and set notifications to all so you never miss new content.

In Sarah's dream at the playground, that's not Linda Hamilton playing with the children, it's Leslie Hamilton, her twin sister. She is also in the scene at the end when there are 2 Sarahs in the same shot at the factory ~ Despair.

I was 9 years old when my parents took me to see this masterpiece on the biggest screen in town. The theater had the greatest sound ever. When that endoskeleton crushed the skull, everyone jumped through the roof. T2 is one of the greatest movie-going experiences of my life.

54:57 That's part of Cameron's genius. That he can get you screaming at the screen "Will that thing *ever* die??!!" in one movie and crying "NOOO!" over it's demise in the very next.

There are two sets of identical twins in this film. The security guard at the vending machine was stabbed by the T1000 played by his brother, and when Sarah is working on Arnies head, they are not in fact looking into a mirror, Linda Hamiltons twin played her 'reflection'. No mirror, so no reflection of the camera in it. One of the cleverest shots ever imo.

One of the greatest movies to get beer and snacks and just relax

It's funny how people always wonder how the terminator could come back, it just never occurs to them that more than one could be made.

Fun fact, the foster mother is the same actress that played Vasquez in Aliens, also plays an Irish mother in Titanic. She's quite the chameleon. Also the budget wasn't 3x higher, more like 10x and JC actually pocketed a large portion of the first movies budget by doing guerrilla filmmaking.

The thing I most appreciate about this movie (and Aliens) is that they aren’t typical sequels that rehash the first movie, making the same jokes or referencing the same moments. Instead, Cameron imagines what might happen next and tells a true continuation of the story. Characters change and evolve (Sarah is a legend here) and the plot progresses! These early James Cameron movies are his best imo.

*Amanda* is gangsta but for a sec I thought someone came in the room & was sneaking up on her...LOL

"This terminator looks like the last one with no explanation." In the television commercials for the movie, they showed an assembly line producing Arnold type terminators. Those shots were also used in the Guns & Roses music video for "You Could be Mine" which was a tie in for this movie as well. All together they were supposed to give the idea of this movie being about multiple Arnolds coming back to kill John Conner and thus reinforce the twist.

The thing to remember with this movie... Is it contains almost no CGI. The Future War start sequence entirely practical apart from the rotoscoped laser shots. They used rear-projection screens in the backgrounds, with sets in the foreground, and filmed the whole thing in-camera. The T-1000, is only CGI when it does things a puppet can't do. They used prosthetics, animatronics, makeup, puppetry, and even resorted to wrapping Robert Patrick in tin-foil and spray paint....... The finale chase scene, they even flew a real helicopter under a real bridge... for real. Fo' reals and ever-thang! This is why T2 and Jurassic Park look so good... because they had talent, experience and hard work involved, real life physics and actual real things on real sets... not just pressing keys on keyboards and letting a computer render everything on a green-screen.

One of the best, smartest parts of Terminator 2 is how Sarah becomes the thing she hates. She turns into a Terminator, devaluing the Miles Dyson and the effect on his family. I am still seriously annoyed that Linda Hamilton wasnt nominated for Best Actress. Her Sarah Connor is one of the three best, strongest, most iconic female characters ever put on film.

4:48 "This song... so '90s" - except that "Bad To The Bone" is a 1980s song, using a speeded-up 1950s riff. The film is from 1991, but most movies use existing hits from previous decades precisely because adult viewers will relate to them instantly. For younger viewers hearing the song for the first time, they will just associate it with the movie from then on, so it's a win-win for the film studios!

😂😂" I want some of that medication."

"He is not touching him". He stepped on it's face. One touch is enough.

Terminator 3 was an unnecessary third dip into the same formula IMO. 4 5 and 6 were three separate attempts to start new lines of storytelling, and none of them stuck. Actually after the first 2 films, the short lived TV series The Sarah Connor Chronicles is definitely the best thing.

The guy teaching photos in the mall is the same actor that plays the cop whose car was stolen by Arnie in the first movie. They're the same character, which is why he reacts like he recognises him

The original theatrical version ended on an open ending note with Sarah Connor ending with the lines of "if a machine can learn the value of human life, then maybe we can to." The reason who they were able to make more movies after this is because of one word. "Retcon." I won't say more than that.

5:58 - the same reason your phone looks exactly like a million other phones: it was made on an assembly line. Sure, they'd need a variety of appearances overall, otherwise people would be able to identify the infiltration units by sight. But you could still have thousands of identical copies without issue. T2 struck a really good balance between the use of practical effects and CGI, something that modern movies should take note of.

Not only is Terminator 2 one of the Top 3 sequels ever made, T2 is quite possibly the greatest action film ever made.

The special effects were done so well for this movie in the 90's that they stand the test of time and still look good today. Something that is not going to happen with many current movies years from now when they are seen again, because the CGI they did leaves much to be desired. It's always good to combine CGI with practical effects to make it look more realistic. And as you can see, many scenes filmed in a real way, the explosions, the trucks, the helicopters, are no longer filmed today with this level of super-production because it is too expensive and all that was replaced today by CGI, which in my opinion, has not yet evolved to deceive us that we are seeing real scenes, it looks artificial.

The symbolism of Arnold using the box of roses to carry the shotgun was a "nod" to the fact that the band Guns and Roses did the soundtrack (which was award winning)

"I wonder if they are really fast" Robert Patrick (T-1000) was a track star in college. He had to slow down during the chase because he kept catching the bike.

@34:28 "That's not how you turn a computer off" For the time (1991) that's a pretty accurate representation of how you'd turn a computer off. We're talking pre-windows, so the whole shut down/power off from the start menu: that's not a thing. The process back then was literally make sure it's not performing a write operation, then hit the off button.

That double of you in the background is how Charlie from Always Sunny in Philadelphia remembers things, by watching himself watch his memories.

Most experts have said that Sarah’s dream scene is still the most accurate portrayal of a nuclear explosion Hollywood has been ever made.

That helicopter flying scene is even more impressive because during that flying under the bridge scene James Cameron filmed it himself twice from the front and behind. The camera crew wouldn't film it because they didn't think the stunt was safe and he would die. Cameron also filmed the semi truck jump scene himself because he didn't want to put his camera crew in danger.

5 guys will never be able to powerlift at the gym, thanks to Terminator shooting them in the knee

My family got me a T2 birthday cake for my 7th birthday. I got a VHS of it and a sega Genesis. Easily the best birthday of my life. This movie is still absolutely amazing.

The given reason for the terminators looking the same was that each model number, 101, 102, 103, etc had a different face. The actual IRL reason for this storyline was so that they could use Arnold for T2 and any other sequel. Arnold was and still is one of the biggest action movie stars EVER. That's the real reason.

Actually the theatrical ending was less conclusive, you watched the... whatever cut. There's a number of different cuts out there of Terminator 2. Always thought the theatrical version had perfect pacing. Same with the theatrical version of Aliens.

You talked about some of the crew disagreeing with the chopper scene but you didn't include it. It was where the chopper flew under the bridge was a real life & death stunt & some of the film crew didn't wan't to record a mans death so James did & the stunt was pulled off successfully

Enrique is a prepper, he believes her

15:45 the man with the camera is a police officer from the first terminator, the scene when the terminator broke through the windshield of a car with his hand, was thrown off the hood of the car, approached a police car in which a police officer was reporting an accident with a victim, knocked out a police officer by hitting the car and stole a police vehicle

You mentioned how Dyson destroying the CPU didn't effect him too much. I always thought that showed his morality very well, he does not hesitate at all to destroy his whole life's work (and even chose to do so while dying) to save the world.

"How? How could they bring him back? He was crushed in the last movie....so how?" Well, the Terminator is a machine and machines can be mass produced.

“What medication did she take cause I want some of that” you are priceless

the effects were mindblowing for the time. all people were talking about was how amazing it looked. also the actor who played John was from southern California so that's why he pronounced the hispanic words well

Robert Patrick practiced running breathing through his nose with his mouth closed at all times without blinking to look more robotic. His T-1000 running is amazing.

Funny story, but my dad worked in Silicon Valley in the 80s and 90s, and the company he worked for moved into the same commercial park that the Cyberdyne building was in (right next door). We ended up hearing about the movie production, and were camped out in the parking lot, watching Arnold with the mini-gun as Cameron was filming.

@9:17 - The first Terminators body was crushed at a robotics building - they only specialized in electronics and mechanics back then, ...later on, due to having unusual resources, they became experts at robotics, and then with military funding - became Cyberdyne.

The scientists say the nuke recreation in this movie is the most accurate of any movie even till today

have to say i love your editing skills, you rising up from behind your bed telling me to subscribe made me laugh

Linda Hamilton spent months in the gym and on weapons ranges for this film. She should have won an Oscar . . .

The reason why you see the Terminator as Arnold is because he is Model-101 while model-102 looks like somebody else👌 Terminator Salvation shows a T-600 which Reese mentions then the T-800s were new but now in this movie we get to experience Robert Patrick as the T-1000 with the no Eye Blink while shooting and the running while breathing through the nose, he trained well for this role! Absolutely brilliant

So the reason that all the T800 series terminators look like Arnold is because they're made on an assembly line and the genetic material is cloned tissue from the same human.

His step mother in T-2 plays Vascez in Aliens. That is some serious range.

In the initial Movie House version, the movie showed a camera going down a dark highway as Sarah delivered the "If the terminator can learn it, we can too" speech....fade to black. This version shows her getting to Gramma-hood.

When the T-1000 imitates Sarah and it's feet are melded together with the floor grates, it reminds me of when generative AI attempts to depict human hands XD

Watching this in a jam packed theatre was indeed amazing.

The teaser trailer for Terminator 2 shows Terminators being made. The metal skeleton is put into a mold, where the human flesh is applied. That explains why that series all look like Arnold.

So cool she could feel the artistic passion and vision of this movie and the people who worked on it. It really does shine through : ) also this is the perfect end to the story.

As I remember it, the thing with the helicopter flying under the bridge was that the camera crew that they had for the movie refused to film it because it was too dangerous. They actually found somebody that would fly the helicopter like that, but the camera crew didn't want to film it. So... there's at least one shot in there where the camera is clearly hanging out of the window of a car following the action and somebody of course would have to be holding the camera shooting that. That would've been James Cameron himself having to shoot that because the film crew wouldn't do it. Somebody actually flew that thing under the bridge and then again when it looks like it's going to hit a bridge and pulls up at the last second to go over it. They don't make movies like that anymore... that would almost certainly be CGI today, and that's part of why movies like this are timeless to look at.

funny thing about the scene where the hospital warden is licking Sarah's face is that the actor was, understandably, creeped out and embarrassed about having to do that that they ended up having to do several takes, which of course just made it that much worse for poor Linda :p

The thing I really love about this is how the RELENTLESS way Arnie kept going, the power reroute, etc, to save them. It shows exactly what he'd be doing to terminate as well.

The real end was "Life is now a dark highway at night.". We do not know what now lies ahead.

props to your editor and you, the hilarity of the editors add ins is perfect !!

You watch the extended version, you get my like and subscribe!

24:21 "I'm gonna stop because I could go on" Oh, err.. We'll wait! 😃

I always felt the original ending was perfect with the point of this movie being about going from fate to hope. While the other sequels are meh, I would definitely recommend the Sarah Connor Chronicles show. It was made after 3, but is based (almost) solely on and picks up after 1 and 2 with John as a high schooler. A little slow-developing maybe, but ended up being kinda awesome. A bunch of different storylines, mythology, technical explanations, profound diary entries each episode, maybe even the best job of making the humor hit.

15:45 the guy "recording" with an actual camera is actually the cop from T1 that gets car-headed :D

Edward Furlong (John) was 14, playing a 10 year old- Movie was released in 91, but set in 94..

The ending in this Version is an alternate ending. The original ending is Sarah holding her monologue by showing the driving on a road in the dark. Meaning the future is not set yet, so it was more an open end

Hello Amanda, nice to see you!😊 You look beautiful as always!🌹 In a deleted scene from the first film we see the name of the factory where Sarah destroyed the first Terminator was "Cyberdyne Systems Corporation". They were the ones who created the Terminators in future history. Also, Miles Dyson worked for that company. Arnold's skin number model is 101, so we can presume there are at least 100 more Terminator's with different looking facial and body features. It is just a coincidence his model was the one sent back again. Of course, for Arnold to return it would have to be the same model. The CGI for the film was cutting edge at the time. Effects were specially made for this film that had never been done before. When James Cameron wrote the film he knew the special effects were not ready for what he wrote, but they would be available in the near future. The rotor router Sarah has in the needle would burn his insides with poison acid, normally used to clear clogged drains.☠ Cyberdyne would just hire someone to take over Miles Dyson work if he were killed. So, it would not stop there. There are two sets of twins that are shown together which saved money on CGI. The guard that is attacked by the floor Terminator, are actually twins. The scene with two Sarah's are Linda Hamilton's twin sister in the factory. James Cameron did stop making Terminator films after this for a while, but came back to make another one year's later when he got the Terminator rights back. He ignores the events of the other Terminator films after this. The end scene in the future is not shown in the theatrical version of the film. They just drive down a highway with a voiceover from Sarah. There is an A.I. film like what you described that you would like to see, Amanda. It is "Ex Machina" (2014).🏆You should definitely check it out. You would really enjoy it! GREAT reactions to this very well made film, Amanda!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Fun fact: when Sarah “goes Terminator,” she drives the same model of car as Arnold did in the first Terminator when he was hunting down the first two Sarah Connors. Just one more similarity between them. It’s not remarked upon in the movie because neither Sarah nor John ever saw the car from the original, John because he was not born, and Sarah because Arnold only hunted her on foot or in other vehicles after going to Tech Noir.

25:36 That liquid is designed to dissolve drain clogs, so injecting it in his neck would be Not Good for him.

Amanda: If you've seen "The Walking Dead" you may have noticed. Todd - John's foster father - was portrayed by Xander Berkeley. You will then know him as Gregory.

Sarah Connor had amazing character development from Terminator 1 to Terminator 2. Ripley from the Alien films is another woman with great character development. Sarah Connor wasn’t automatically a badass just because she was a woman(like Rey from the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy). She went through trauma that toughened and motivated her to strive to be the best.

Oh wow. Never seen the deleted scenes edited into a final director's cut. The theatrical cut is leaner and proves all the deleted scenes weren't necessary to the final product. James Cameron is a genius.

52:26 As mentioned in Sarah's inner monologue earlier, the Terminator died to protect John.

How is it not logical that John is protecting Dyson? He prevented the Terminator from just killing people so he’s consistent.

45:26 That “gun” you were so impressed by is an M79 Grenade Launcher.

Repeat after me: THERE ARE NO TERMINATOR MOVIES AFTER TERMINATOR 2. You'll be much happier now.

Fantastic reactions as always ❤

The cinematographer refused to film inside the helicopter when it goes under the overpass on the freeway. So Cameron was the camera man in that sequence.

The “computer factory” that John said Sarah tried blowing up happened after the first movie and before the second movie

You did it Amanda. This movie will now always be ingrained in your soul.

Loved your reaction, buddy. Especially loved the cute double "you" disappearing in the background.

The machines didn't "bring back" the Terminator. They were being mass produced in factories.

For the year this was made the CGI is groundbreaking. Not to mention very creative.

You might like the most recent Terminator, it features a Hispanic protagonist as a new version of John.

in the extended edition you also get to see sarah hamiltons twin sister a lot more. That's how they did the pull the CPU from arnie scene in a "mirror".

Ha Ha ! It’s my girl, she’s back.

Keep in mind you're watching an Extended Cut of T2 with the alternate ending restored. The movie did NOT originally have that ending in the original theatrical version, nor the original Extended Cut, and it was ambiguous on if Judgement Day was stopped or not. Regardless of which version of T2 you watch, the later films and series timeline become EXTREMELY messed up and have multiple continuities depending on which film you're currently watching. The series itself went into a legal limbo regarding the film rights following this film. T3 was released in 2003 without the involvement of James Cameron with one of the plot points being that Judgement Day was merely delayed and inevitable. The film got a mixed reception, and eventually a TV series was made in 2007 to act as an alternate sequel to T2. Same basic concept (JD is delayed but inevitable), but it approaches that plot point in a new way. The first season got screwed over by the 2007 WGA strike and was limited to just nine episodes. The reception on the TV series was MUCH better than T3, but ratings and viewership started to drop as Fox did what they do best: constantly reschedule the show before eventually dropping it in the Friday Night Death Slot. As with Firefly and the original runs of Futurama and Family Guy before it, the show eventually was canceled (and on a MAJOR season ending cliffhanger to boot) Following that, the rights transferred again leading to Salvation (AKA T4). This film put T3 back into canon status and ignored the events of the TV series. While it was the Future War film the fanbase had wanted for years, the reception was once again mixed. We then have the film rights transfer AGAIN leading to Genisys/T5, a film that was equal parts sequel and reboot thanks to time travel being a core part of the franchise. At that point, T3/T4 were now non-canon as JD was reset back to 1997. This film was intended to be the start of a NEW trilogy, but it severely underperformed at the box office and only drew $440M versus a $155M budget. While that sounds good on the surface, people often forget that the production budget doesn't count advertising, nor do they consider the box office cut. Theaters and their employees like to get paid too after all! While the exact amount of the advertising budget and percentage of box office cut is typically not known, the general rule of thumb is to take the production budget and multiply that by 1.5-2x the production cost for the "true" amount a film needs to earn to just break even. As T5 went all out on the advertising, some estimates say this film might have needed as much as $460M+ just to break even. The planned sequels were canceled as a result. Now, with all that said, while T3-T5 are all mixed in terms of quality, each film has at least one good action set piece. I'm very much the type of person that can still get some enjoyment out of a subpar film, mainly because quite a few films are held on such lofty pedestals that it makes it hard for subsequent films to reach the same heights. Hell, despite the back and forth on what is and isn't canon, one can arguably make the case for EVERYTHING from T1-T5 to be considered canon. Keep in mind that this is a series with TIME TRAVEL as a core mechanic. The Resistance reacts to Skynet using time travel, and then when that plan fails and creates a new timeline/loop we have Skynet react by making slight alterations to the original plan once we loop back around to 2029 (or later depending on the timeline in play at that particular moment) Factoring all of that in mind, you can potentially watch up to T5, and if you ignore the plot point of who sent the latest iteration of Arnold back (as well as the mid-credits scene), then one can make the case for ALL of T1-T5 to be canon. The date of JD changes a few times and the exact circumstances of the usage of the Time Displacement Equipment also changes. However, ignoring the T5 mid-credits as those sequels were never made, the series can actually end there with things neatly tied up and hope for the future. Why do I say all of that? Simple: the vast majority of the Terminator fanbase has disowned Dark Fate/T6. We all have our views about T1-T5. Depending on who you ask, you'll be told to either watch only the first two with the EC/alternate ending being the preferred version of T2 and stop there, or watch the original cut of T2 and any combination of T3-T5 (as of late, I'm actually a little partial to T1>T2>T5 as I feel that messes with the overall timeline flow the least) T3-T5 have flaws, but can still be somewhat enjoyable even if they aren't on the level of the first two films. We do not talk about T6 if we can avoid it, but as newer generations discover the two original films the subject needs to be discussed. That film is an abortion and an insult to the franchise, as well as an insult to the intelligence of the viewer if they stop to think about one of the key plot points for more than five seconds. It ignores T3-T5, and the early buzz tried to push it as the "true" sequel to T2 as James Cameron finally came back to the series, but then the idiot decides to KILL A 13 YEAR OLD JOHN CONNOR in the first five minutes of the film! The film literally makes the struggle of the first two films all for nothing, and it completely ignores the fact that the opening of T2 clearly states that on the second loop following the events of T2 that TWO Terminators were sent back: a Model 101 T-800 to 1984 (the original film), and the experimental T-1000 to 1995 (the second film) This isn't even a case of Skynet reacting to a failure to eliminate their target on a subsequent loop. This film establishes that the destruction of Cyberdyne in T2 actually stopped the creation of Skynet. SKYNET NO LONGER EXISTS! It is literally IMPOSSIBLE for Skynet to compensate at this point and add a third Terminator into the mix that is sent back to 1998 to kill John as that version of Judgement Day CAN NO LONGER HAPPEN! Skynet does not exist anymore, and as a result there is no Skynet to learn of John Connor. Even if one somehow suspends belief long enough to say "Ok, so they sent THREE Terminators back in time instead of two!" you run into another issue: How the hell did the Resistance miss THAT? In T1, they clearly know the original use of the TDE was used to send a single Terminator back to 1984. In T2, they clearly know on this new loop that the TDE was used twice instead of once. John then compensates by reprogramming a T-800 to protect himself in 1995. As I said before, Skynet can't react this time. THEY WERE DESTROYED IN 1995 ON THE SECOND LOOP! Logic from the previous films would dictate that the third Terminator would be detected! Dark Fate has plenty of issues, but this one portion alone should frankly make the entire premise of the film starting with John Connor's death at the hands of a Terminator logically impossible. If you feel this series wraps up nicely after T2, that's perfectly fine. If you want to continue to other films, you'll get different opinions on the matter, but that's also fine. However, for your sanity, please stop at T5 at the latest before the film gets a chance to move onto the mid-credits scene.

I'm just glad your camera is stabilize, and is not CONSTANTLY shaking

The ending gives you the option not to go further. BUT this ending was not in the theatrical release. So in a way it did not end this way.

Actually i remembered. The Terminator working with John was supposed to be a twist reveal thats why it has Arnolds face again. It was spoiled in the trailers too tho. Plus Arnold was already familiar with the role and Machines tend to be mass produced the same way. Edit: Honestly this film says a lot about human nature, Everyone likes to think they're not a part of "humanity destroying each other" but with Dyson everyone usually thought Sara was right but JOHN was the one who was right from the beginning.

Great reaction as usual! John's foster mother, Janelle, is played by the same actress, Jenette Goldstein, who played Vasquez in "Aliens."

She beat up that mental hospital guy for real , because he initially refused to hit her so she had to keep redoing the scene causing injury. So in that scene she was really passed with him and let rip

You can't picture a Terminator assembly line? It's a machine, just like a car or any of the millions of other identical mass-produced things in the world.
