Robert Patrick (the new terminator) ran track in school. For this role, he worked at making his running look smooth and machine-like and he actually ended up getting so fast that he was catching up to the vehicles in certain scenes by accident. Brilliant performance from him and everyone. Such a good movie!

Sarah's development between movies is one of the most incredible. Linda Hamilton transformed her body for the role to embody the warrior Sarah has become and it really sells the performance. But she still has the drives and instincts of a mother, which are central to her motivations. The fact that her twin sister Leslie had to get in the same shape for the mirror shot & Sarah v Sarah scenes makes it even crazier.

Not only is this one of the best sequels ever, it’s one of the best movies ever.👍

"how is he keeping up" Robert was actually a track star. And after his training for this movie. He actually needed to slow down... So they could get the shot 😂 😂 Robert wasn't only that fast as a human He was faster then the acceleration of the dirt bike at that time. Otherwise Robert caught up every time. He was that fast.

I also loved Linda Hamilton in the 1987 TV series 'Beauty and the Beast' with Ron Perlman ❤️

In addition to Robert Patrick's running skills, he also learned to fire weapons without blinking. He had a brief but funny cameo in the comedy Wayne's World not long after this movie as well. The woman that played John's foster mother also played Vasquez in Aliens.

My favorite part of this movie is Sarah’s transformation and I think that the guy that played Dyson portrayed one of the best death scenes ever. Such a great job by all of the actors.

Sarah Connor and Ripley from the Alien films are perfect examples of strong female characters. It shows amazing character development. They aren’t perfect and traumatic events helped them evolve into strong characters. Unlike Rey from the Star Wars Sequel films that was already perfect and barely needed any training.

This movie is one of my all-time favourites. I was about 13 when I watched it the first time. All the characters are great but I do like the fact, that Miles Dyson is not some lunatic scientist trying to rule the planet. He is just a regular human being with a wife and a kid but he is also very ambitious. His character reminds me of Alfred Nobel who simply wanted to make mining safer for the miners, so he invented dynamite. Unfortunately his invention turned into something utterly evil.

Miles Dyson was a real hero. Once he knew what was going to happen he decided to work with the people who just shot him in order to save the world. He even gave the cops who shot him time to get out as he was dying. Dyson deserved far, FAR better than he got.

I've said this in countless reactions to this movie - but I love the juxtaposition of Sarah literally turning into a Terminator-like assassin when she goes after Miles Dyson to stop him from creating Skynet and only stopping because she realized as the last second what she was about to do, and become by doing it. Not to mention the incredible performances from everyone in that scene, and the entire movie. As others have said, not just one of the best sequels ever, one of the best movies ever made, hands down.

I was 14 years old when this came out and my cousins and I went to see it in the theater and everyone was clapping at the end. The movie technology,at the time, was mind blowing. The liquid metal was insane back then

The best action movie of all time and best use of CGI. They knew all of it couldn’t be CGI, so they mixed in practical effects and made you guess which was which. The arm scene was all practical. You will never see practical effects like this in a movie ever again. Everything looks fake. The CG in this holds up like crazy for that reason. Liquid metal ruled the 90s. Now it’s so overused, there’s no such thing as a live action Marvel movie in 2022. Half of it is obvious CG and doesn’t have the same impact. This is terrifying because it looks real.

Fun fact, they used Linda Hamilton’s twin sister for a couple scenes. One being during. The nightmare sequence, he twin is the one in the waitress outfit with little John on the Playground. Another is when she’s removing the CPU from Arnold’s Terminator. They made it look like a mirror but it was just on of them play Sarah’s “reflection” and the other was her

The actor playing the Liquid Termi actor practiced running with his mouth closed to sell the role more. Just one of the many details that this film and it's actors payed attention to. The SFX were ground breaking into his movie.

This is your best one yet! I feel like you were legitimately invested in this one. A testament to how great this movie is.

Jenette Goldstein(the foster mother) is unforgettable in "Aliens" and "Near Dark."

Cool callback: When the T-800 (Arnie) sees Sarah again (really meeting her for the first time) in the psych hospital, he says, "Come with me if you want to live", the line Kyle said to Sarah when they first met in T1. The T-800 basically took the place of Kyle, protecting Sarah. Love little gems/callbacks like that. Edit: Oh yea, and another cool tidbit---Robert Patrick (T-1000) is brother to Richard Patrick, lead singer of popular industrial rock band, Filter ("Take a Picture", "Hey Man Nice Shot", etc).

RIP to Leslie Hamilton Freas, Linda Hamilton's identical twin who plays Sarah's double in 3 scenes. In the playground daydream, at the mirror, and fake Sarah calling to John. She passed in 2020.

Your reaction is so genuine! I love that you basically talk through the whole movie, just like I do. Heehee! I can't wait for your next movie reaction.

I love this movie. I miss older movies they didn’t have the best graphics but they were awesome.

The best part about the terminator chasing after the motorbike scene is the actor playing the evil one learned to control his breathing so well that he actually caught up to the bike to quickly on foot! It’s really cool!

It was nice to see you enjoy this great movie for the first time. I hope to see you react to more movies. May I suggest the movie Platoon? It was the movie of the year in the U.S.for 1986. I'll be looking out for whatever you do.

The best part of this video is Kabir doing the closing review. 👏

This is one of the best reactions I've ever seen, to this or any other movie! You were SO invested! And I was there right along with you, remembering my first time watching this movie! Keep it up! 😄😄

Rest in peace to Leslie Hamilton , she is Linda Hamilton's identical twin , she died of COVID-19 August 2020 She was in this movie ..If you don't know Linda Hamilton plays Sarah Connor

One of the best adventure/science fiction movies of all time, without a doubt. I always marvel in a way at the difference in the 'deaths' of the two cyborgs. The T-1000 falls screaming into the molten steel desperately trying to find a way to escape it. The T-800 (The Terminator) goes peacefully and willingly to his death, knowing that it was necessary to complete his mission. Maybe he can't cry or feel emotion, but he learned to understand it. He therefore accepts death to complete his mission. To protect John and through him to protect the future. The franchise should have ended here, with the final message of hope being the point of it all.

I must have seen this movie at least a hundred times growing up. My mom used to put it on to go to sleep every night for months at a time Fun fact, the foster mother here is the same actress who played Vasquez in Aliens~ Interesting fact only to me, John Connor the character was born the same year as me, but the actor is 8 years older than I am even though the movie/irl time difference is only two years

Seeing this in a movie theater back in '91' is one of my all time favorite movie going experiences. Also you may notice that when Arnie reloads the M79 grenade launcher it makes a _"thoomp"_ sound, that's actually the sound a real one makes when it's fired. I know because I used it a lot during basic training. I guess James Cameron decided to take some artistic license and edit the sounds.

Linda Hamilton forgot to put her earplugs in during a take in the elevator scene when Arnold shoots the shotgun inside. This caused her permanent hearing damage in one of her ears.

RIP Tyson, he wasnt a machine from the future or a super soldier, he was just a father, but he went out like a hero, is a shame he died.

There was no CGI in the '80s. The original Terminator did not use CGI. It used old school stop motion animation which makes it even more impressive.

The 70's, 80's, and 90's were tough guys. Now comic book heroes

In both movies, Sarah kills the Terminator by pressing a button. Same act, but very different circumstances.

I've met the T1000 Robert Patrick this summer at Comicpalooza here in Houston TX. Such a cool guy!

Greatest action movie of all time :)

Here's the thing we are already experiencing James Cameron's either Wildest Dream or worst nightmare in this techno War we already seen the emergence of cybernetic organism thanks to neuralink as well as prosthesis like that that you see on the movie I Robot we already seeing the transformation of the possibilities of having HKS or Hunter killers in the form of Reaper drones or the switchblades suicide drones

The emotional payoff at the end of this film is priceless.

The lead singer of the band Filter, Richard Patrick, is the brother of Robert Patrick the actor who plays the T-1000. He played guitar with Nine Inch Nails until '93.

Great movie, t3 I enjoyed but I see why people dislike that one, salvation I really like, genesis and dark fate 🤮

With over 3 billion killed before the opening credits, T2 once held the record for highest body count in a movie.

As great as the original 1984 film was, T2 blew it right outta the water. And it's open ended ending was perfect for it, it was hopeful. As far as I'm concerned, the original two films are the only ones that matter.

I'm not here to be a jerk or a know-it-all, I'm just going to carefully place a comment here and then silently walk away, and it's perfectly fine if you did not know this before reading this comment, or if you did, either way, it's all good, and even if you just don't care about any of this, that's cool, too. Here it goes. The very first movie to use CGI was either Westworld (1973) or Vertigo (1958), depending on what you count as CGI. And from that time until 1985, CGI was few and far between, because it tended to look... not good, and was super expensive - 12kb computer in 1973 cost $4680, 384kb computer cost $500 in 1984. Around 1985 was when computers processing speed could be counted in megabytes and not kilobytes. Computers could take up whole floors in a big building and yet still weren't as fast or as good as the phone in your pocket. So, before 1977, unless it was Star Wars, which hardly had any, or any of the experimental films that were entirely computer generated and were very primitive looking by today's standards, anyway, before 1977, the movie in question probably had no CGI. And before 1984 (the year the first Terminator movie came out), the list is 12 movies, that's how many movies incorporated CGI between 1980 and 1984. Tron (1982) had a ton of CGI, but was still so much in the CGI infancy that they had to film the computer monitor to get the CGI shots. So, anyway, I said all of that just to say that anyone can just say "special effects" if the movie is older than 1985 because that is a term that includes CGI. It's like looking at a dog and you have no idea what kind of dog it is so you say "cute dog" rather than say "cute Husky" and it turns out that it's actually a Norwegian Elk Hound, so you're golden.

Did you know Linda Hamilton had a an identical twin sister Leslie , she pass away in 2020. Leslie was in Terminator 2 and she did some of her sister"s stuns and when Linda was dreaming that was Leslie she was looking at.

I don't know about better, exactly. It's kind of an Alien/Aliens thing, where the movies are both great and it's down to preference which kind of movie you like better. In both cases the first movie is scarier and the second is more action. Robert Patrick trained hard to be able to run without breathing. It does a great job of making him seem much more machinelike. He is truly menacing in this movie.

I only found out recently, that the woman who played John's step-mother in this movie, is the same woman who played the badass latina marine in Aliens and the Irish mother in Titanic.

Still, one of the few films that make me cry at the end, 30 years later.

Thank you, thank you. This is a great movie I love this movie so much and know so many stupid things about it. Robert Patrick spent 100s of hours at a shooting range. For the purpose of getting rid of the subconscious tick that a vast majority of people experience when they hear an extremely violent noise such as a gunshot. Which is why when he and Arnie have their shoot out in the mall Robert Patrick doesnt blink even once while firing his gun at Arnie. Now your have to do Rocky 2 keep the trend of sequels being better than the original.

It’s equally great as the first movie. I love them both and I usually watch the first half of both which for me are the best parts!

The crazy thing is all the stunts are practical, from the truck going off the bridge to the bike jumps to grabbing him off the bike

If you get the chance, watch some of the interviews that Linda Hamilton and Arnold did together, especially on the Korean Englishman's channel where they're eating Korean food and Arnold acts like he's never had it😄. They're interaction with each other is great.

I am very impressed! The first time I watch this and the first time I heard of most everybody in my friends circle that watched this we all assumed that Arnold was the bad guy you were the first person I have ever seen react to this movie that didn’t automatically assume that, and in fact are correct about who the bad guy is. There was a big snafu when this movie was going to come out where Arnold was in an interview on the talk show and the host of the talk show says so what is it like to play the good guy this time? And Arnold looked at him with this this I don’t know surprise him that the host on his TV show just told millions of people this the surprise that was going to happen in the middle of the movie where that the reveal would be that Arnold Schwarzenegger plays the good guy this time. You’re gonna love all the special effects this the show got awards on special effects. I know now why you cry, but it is something I cannot do. Kills me every time.

Got to see this in a drive in theatre when it first came out. It was a double feature along with AIRPLANE. My brother and I sat on top of the car. Full lot. The squeals and yelps that could be heard were insane! The liquidator was terrifying. One of few lovely memories from my childhood. Every little girl with a pulse was in love with John Conner. :)

Terminator 2 is the best film in the series. You can forget about the other parts.

Same as the first one, the final line here goes like a moral. Besides interesting how the final music in the 1st movie sounded like ready to face the battle while this one here is actually brings relief and hope.

Watch Terminator:Salvation with Christian Bale and Sam Worthington next. It’s so GOOD!!

0:43=There was no CGI in the original Terminator film.

Saw this when I was 13 or 14. Im 44 now. Still my favorite movie!

After T2 in 1991, Linda Hamilton would star alongside Pierce Brosnan in 1997 on Dante’s Peak, which is another great hit to check out from the 1990s and features some great CGI, practical effects, and the largest miniature sets in film history. All of which holds up very well today. Dante’s Peak was also a nominee for best visual effects but lost to Titanic that also came out in 1997 and was also praised by scientists as being the most accurate volcanic disaster film ever made, which also helps that director Roger Donaldson had a degree in geology before he became a movie director.

Interestingly, Cyberdyne is a real company. It was founded in 2004. I was just out of high school when this came out. Between this and The Matrix, I'm not a fan of AI. It's been surreal watching it develop. I mean come on guys...we were warned.

This movie will always be one of my favorites. Imo it is one of the best movie sequels out there. The CGI and practical effects hold up pretty well

It's funny that you said "imagine seeing an exact copy of yourself" because that guard and the terminator are twins irl lol

Oh no you accidentally spoke during one of the iconic lines “come with me if you want to live” which is the first thing Kyle Reese said to her.

17:38 - The actors in this scene would be used to seeing a 'copy' of themselves, because they are actually identical twins.

Fun Fact: At 21:48 the “mini gun” Arnie discovers is the same gun (prop) Jesse “The Body” Ventura used in the movie, Predator, which also starred Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Yes it’s the cycle theory of time travel because with time travel it either the cycle theory or the multiverse theory

there was an alternate ending to this movie, which would have ended the franchise with T2: a scene of Sarah at a playground as an elderly lady in the year 2029, with a voice-over explaining that they stopped Judgement Day from happening. she was watching as her son, John, was playing with his own child, and he was now a senator instead of the leader of the human resistance.

Robert Patrick is a great actor !

You’re mistaken. There’s only two Terminator movies. Yes. Only two.

So thrilled your watching T2!

Thank you Kabir. This was an awesome part of my day.

I love the filter you have on the video. Given it a more 80s VHS vibe!

Yess! Arnold is the face of Terminator. There will never be another one.

17:41 “Imagine seeing an absolute copy of yourself.” They are actually twins. They are in another movie “Gremlins 2: The New Batch”. I would recommend watching the “Gremlins” movie first before watching the sequel.

The thing about planes flying themselves has been standard for years now. Planes can and do takeoff, fly and land without any imput from the flight crew. The crew are there to take over if anything comes up. One time the wrong destination was imputed and the crew didn't even know they were going the wrong place till they started talking to ground control about landing.

It's kinda ironic, what you said about CGI at the end, considering the use of CGI, which was in it's infancy at the time,, was one of the major selling points of this movie. Just like present-day, James Cameron pioneered cutting-edge movie making technology in most of his films, including this one. CGI had just started being used in filmmaking, with this movie being one of the very first to implement it for special effects, before it exploded and forever changed filmmaking, in the few years after this movie.

There was no CGI in The Terminator. The first use of CGI as we know it was in The Abyss in 1989. Terminator 2 was the first usage of a few minutes of CGI.

Time for Terminator 3 Rise of the Machines!! Also conan Obrien had alot of funny promo for that movie

It’s weird watching this mirrored.

Re: sequels not usually being any good compared to the first... I think Beverly Hills Cop 2 is better than 1, much more intricate & interesting. Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) has character growth and is TOO FUNNY. Definitely worth checking out if you haven't already.

This movie was very impressive on the big screen when it came out. CGI was still relatively new and in most movies it have been used in it looked a lot like a video game. This movie did have a couple of dodgy CGI moments, there were enough excellent ones to make up for it. When the T-1000 walked through the bars, the head shot, and the reversal in the factory fight were amazing and got big reactions. It has also long amused me to think that the shrink ended up in Sarah's old room after having his world shattered so severely.

Congrats on being Terminator-baptised!!

It’s honestly hard to believe there are people that haven’t seen this flick.

The physical shape that Linda Hamilton is in (muscles) is because to prepare for this role she trained with The Israeli Special Forces Military.

This movie is a landmark in CGI. For another such landmark, I will recommend Willow. Not to mention that movie is super fun!

I can tell you had a great ride through this film I knew you'd enjoy this banger of a film and happy to see many of my recommendations lot of these classic films that you just don't get anymore in the same quality original ideas. Awesome video !!! Highly recommend Aliens from here and Abyss as well 👍

Among the many Terminator films out there. I only acknowledge T1, T2, and the mini film T2:3D as canon towards each other. The rest are just dismissed as "alternate timelines." Like a "What if?" scenario.

Great movie

Her dream flashback nuclear holocaust I used to have dreams just like that on a Pretty regular basis in the 80s early 90s.... as a kid ,we all had them it's very relatable that's why it was thrown into the movie... More recently I've been having these dreams again

Hats off to the helicopter stuntpilot in the final chase scene, I get chills everytime he flies in after them in the tunnel. They even crashed the helicopter into the truck for real. It really makes you appreciate the time before CGI took over. Even if they of course can do amazing stuff with it, it still feels like there's a sort of vail over the screen in any action movie nowadays. This movie really hit the golden spot though; Before CGI was a thing and with a huge budget to be able to make Good practical/real effects. I prefer it any day.

He will be back

IF the people who see this comment and plus the reactor want more terminator, then make sure you look at Terminator Sarah Connor Chronicles the tv show.. Only 2 seasons but absolutely amazing.. The actress who plays Sarah Connor Lena Heady IMO absolutely nails Sarah Connor.. Damn good 2 seasons of Termintor for fans who want more terminator

Great reaction

You are definitely right about what could happen if A. I. research continues like it is. Look up the Ameca humanoid robot that they have created that has actual facial expressions and reactions. It looks something out of the movie "I-Robot". It's creepy!!!

Arnie didn't kill any of those bikers. :)

Knew youd love it! 'Nother one of my favorites!

John's foster mother is the same actress as Vasquez in Aliens, another series where #2 was so much better than #1, while not making the first movie look bad. Both series kinda crashed & burned with the third movie. I love Jenette Goldstein. This is more how she really looks, then in Aliens. She's in my favorite vampire movie ever!

There’s been 6 movies, 1 tv series and a lot of comic books and novels

There was no CGI used in terminator.

Back when they destroyed the lab was the point that you knew there would be more sequels because if the destruction of that lab was the only source of study for skynet both terminators would have ceased to exist. A basic law of time travel.
