It definitely is, well for me of course, I'm a huge terminator fan😂

It’s definitely the best sequel to an action movie or sci-fi movie 💯💯

For me its this and Aliens which are both directed by James Cameron!

They also shift the horror root from the 1st movie and make it more action in the 2nd

I think it's a toss up between this and "Aliens". Still, pretty darn amazing! In both cases, James Cameron knows how direct entertaining films!

If Billy Idol didn't get into a motor cycle accident then he would have been the T-1000.

That is such a cool fun fact! I wouldn't have ever guessed that lol thank you for sharing 😊

Robert Patrick started in an early movie a long time ago that was about 2 hours long & he played a guy who knew alot of marshall arts & spent most of the film RUNNING HIS ASS OFF constantlly inbetween KUNG FU FIGHTS. I think it was shot in Malaysia. He had a woman who needed help in finding some kind of Treasure Idol & he had blond, curly hair & did all his own stunts. I just don't remember the Name, sorry. Sometime in the very late 60's or early 70's. Look it up in his IMBD BIO.

I thought for sure it was just edited to make it look like he could keep up with the bike. Very interesting that it was kind of the other way around.

@@strangebiped How old was he? 4? Lol

And 30 some years later it's still top of the mountain.

I think it took 6 months of computer time to do a few seconds of film time.

I literally could only imagine!! I was in total shock 😲 lol

Liquid effects were created by Cameron when he directed movie named The Abyss. Cameron uses his newly created effects for this movie.

I was there on opening day! I still remember the cheers and clapping from the crowd.

I could see Michael Bay doing something like that. He's one of the last directors who are serious of making things look realistic. Also, maybe Tom Cruise would fly the chopper.

Fun Fact: Linda Hamilton has a twin sister. The scene where Sarah Connor is repairing the head of The Terminator, that is not a mirror. That is her sister sitting on the other side mimicking her movements. They did this in order to keep the special effects to a minimum. It took many takes to get it right.

Industrial Light and Magic had a contract with Silicone Graphics, only allowing publicity that SGI was the only digital VFX supplier for the film. But, the digital VFX were so bleeding edge, that in scenes with the T-1000 running, his arms would become detached from his shoulders. ILM had to secretly hire several (Adobe) Photoshop artists to fix issues like this manually.

@@ChicagoFaucet.etc. also the fat cop who is he copying. also twin brothers ;) , real fact

I could only imagine how it was in the theaters & the special effects were absolutely amazing!!

I still think 99% of this film looks better than anything that's come out since CGI took over the film industry. CGI just can't beat practical effects, and the practicals on this film were executed flawlessly. If they remade this move today, the T100's liquid metal would probably look better, but everything else about the film would likely look worse as they'd do most of it with CGI these days.

Thanks... as if I didn't feel old enough when I woke up today.

@@markvarley2962 bro, I'm 63... it doesn't get easier. Enjoy your youth while you got it.

@@markvarley2962 don't blink, you might miss something.

I wouldn't say Hasta La Vista to a paycheck like that!

😁 Thanks for watching with us!

Haha thank you so much ! We definitely enjoyed this movie 🎬 😊

There aren't many walks of life where you can be paid to kill your twin.

Leslie also played the Sarah lookalike in the dress during her nuclear holocaust dream sequence.

Only in the extended version, not this theatrical release.

I can see them arguing about who gets to kill who: Don:"I'm gonna kill you" Dan: "no, no, no, I'm gonna kill you." Don: oh stop! Your killing me already!

@@coletrickle-km7cl Dan. You killed me last time. My turn.

Another James Cameron film too.

We'll have an Ahhnold poll on Patreon soon. I hope True Lies wins for Hannah and Tori, because I absolutely love this film and want to see their reaction!

His first film where we see his on screen personality in full is Commando from 1985. Guaranteed to make you grin.

@@markvarley2962 Arnold during the swinging sixties, I'm in. Strangely he lost his American accent in subsequent films.

Kindergarten Cop is a good movie too.

Wow! It must have been quite an experience at the theater!

Yes it was an experience, I was there! Greatest cinema experience ever.

@@peterlenham3180 😁 it's awesome that you have such a great thing to remember!

It's not that it wasn't fully aware of its capabilities unlike the T-800 the T-1000 does not have a read and write switch It is always learning and self-aware from the start which also means they can disobey Skynet's orders and their own programming if they choose and Skynet had no one Terminator that could defeat it or catch it until the T-X came and that had multiple weapons that could defeat a T-1000 which makes sense sense it's designed to kill other Terminators not an all out infiltrator, there's also other variants of the T-1000 like the T-1001 and T-1002, T-1001 (Sarah Connor Chronicles) possessed all the abilities of the regular T-1000 which is a lot of them but had the bonus of being stronger faster, quicker regeneration, and can even split itself apart like a REV-9 but more than once however other units that split apart did have a limited intelligence The regular T-1000 could do the same but it had to radio control by itself instead of them being independent, T-1002 is basically the last one but it has better shape shifting abilities and it's stronger and can stand toe to toe with a T-X in a comic book but was ultimately defeated by it, there is also the T-XA which exists in another Terminator universe and I'm not sure if it's even officially real but it is the stuff of nightmares and it also had Skynet's consciousness similarly to the T-5000 or SKY-1.

Another person who loves the lore and BTS information as much as I do. 👍

They didn't fear it it was just a prototype more untested so to speak but also more advanced than the T-800s at the same time and that wasn't the main timeline btw, that's the sarah connor chronicles show you're referencing, not canon . At the time f T2's future that was their most advanced model. The T-1000 was also based off of a resistant fighter which they also reference in the game that came out a few years back.

@@MKF30 Lore says Skynet did fear it because they didn't even know its limit. And not sure you can count stuff From Terminator Resistance as cannon? Love the game though.

@@Stoffinator I've read the comics, novels besides the shows and movies I can assure you there is no canon confirmed lore that says Skynet ever fearing it though, this was most likely a fan theory/fan fic you read or TSSC, which isn't canon to the movies canon timelines. It created it so why would it fear it? That makes no sense especially when Skynet has also created far more dangerous and advanced models than the T-1000. Skynet also used the same model in other timelines. It was a prototype model they used at the time, which the T800 even confirms in T2. If anything they feared the T-800's being more sentient as to why they locked the CPU chip so that the T-800's can't learn and learn empathy for humans. In the directors cut of T2 there's a scene that shows this where T800 explains this to Sarah and John, so John asks can we reset the chip so you can learn? The T800 says yes then gives directions how to do so, so they take it out and reset the T800 it then put it back it. The T-1000 can't be reprogrammed by anyone other than Skynet, except in the John Connor Chronicles novel but that's not canon and never actually happened anyway. Yeah I don't think Resistance is canon but that was a nice callback and probably makes sense in the canon somewhere along the line since all their modes are based off humans in their database. This was the case with Arnold for example(his human in the canon which T3 Rise of the Machines confirmed) that Skynet used as a the human look for their T-800 look as to why they all look like him.

T3 And Salvation weren't that bad. Genysis was ruined by it's twist. And while I haven't seen Dark Fate, I've heard all I need to know.

@@passionsquietrage Sarah Connor Chronicles (TSCC) was pretty good too; I felt it stuck more to the themes and the soul of the first two films. Unfortunately it was canceled by Fox only after 2 seasons and left off on a cliffhanger. Also there's an amazing game by a smaller studio called "Terminator: Resistance" that I can't recommend enough to fans. It ignores everything but the first two movies and is basically the sequel we never got that rounds out the original story. If you are a gamer who loves good stories but can tolerate average graphics and gameplay, I highly recommend checking it out!

Dark Fate is James Cameron's ending to it, besides setting up a different future

​@@chrissears21Not really. It was a pretty obvious cash grab. Cameron wasn't really involved in the production, he just lent his name to the marketing. It's pretty obvious the story ends with T2.

@@Mark-Varley4051 Pants?

I couldn't agree more. This movie looks incredible and I think that it will still look amazing in 100 years.

That is amazing! Speaking as an experienced runner, he must have had to work hard on the form with which he ran in the movie. It looked very intimidating, but inefficient with his arms straight. In real life that arm position would slow you down tremendously. Massively impressive, in addition to his all around amazing performance.

That's our Boo. The Boominator. Come with meow if you want to live.

Thanks for watching :) it was a great movie!

Top Gun 2 gets that honor

thank you so much for watching :) everything about this movie had me on the edge of my chair. definitely loved watching this one!

@@donkey3187 Agree to disagree on that one, just my opinion.

This or another James Cameron sequel Aliens.

Thanks for watching with us! Yes, this movie is beyond amazing!

Thanks for the tidbit! We recorded our Aliens Reaction last weekend. Look for it on KZfaq within the next month or so, and on Patreon sooner.

I can totally see that! This was such a great movie, definitely a favorite of mine now for sure 😊

the series was very good, definitely above the average level. for shows like it I say: good and original series, destroyed by people who only watch the ratings.

Lena heady kills it as Sarah Connor and summer glau kills it as the female terminator.. and in the second season you'll get to see another liquid metal terminator but a far more upgraded model

two excellent actresses!..

Possible spoiler ahead =====> Terminator 3 is a better movie than people remember. It gives a glimpse into the original John Connor and the original time line. The one where Kyle Reese is not John’s father!

Tori is a jewel and we are so very great to have her as a part of our family! Thanks so much for watching with us!

😹😹😹

🤣🤣🤣

hahaha right ! :)

That's a really excellent question and an apt parallel! Thanks for this.

She realized she was almost a Terminator herself.

Very intentional, that why you hear the terminator t800 theme while she's walking up to the Dyson house.

@@robert19838 Lol, I've watched this countless times since seeing in the theater as a teen, an' never made that connection. Thought Sarah just conveniently suddenly couldn't go through with it, since she seemed pretty dead-set committed to her decision and path.

There is this recurring theme all along the movie : what makes us human ? What does that mean to be human ? We have a human starting to act like a machine, killing whoever is needed to accomplish the mission. While in parallel we have a machine learning to act as a human, to the point of becoming a surrogate father and expressing empathy. The answer given by the movie is pretty straightforward : Love makes us human. Sarah was saved by her love for her son, and the T800 became more human because he learned the value of love. The answer may not be that mind blowing in itself, but what makes a great story are not the thematics but how they are presented.

Amazing! Thanks for these!

Steeply downhill. I like the TV series - Terminator: The Sara Connor Chronicles way more than the remaining movies.

Agreed. Every Terminator movie after T2 is a cash grab that undoes the previous story's narrative. Kind of OK as stand alone movies, but not as part of the world building universe

The terminator 3 actually gives us a lot of answers too, it’s not T2 but it’s not as bad as people think!

@@RandomNPC001 THANK YOU!

@@RandomNPC001 I have said the EXACT same thing a million times. It's NOT as good as the first two but it's actually not that bad and it does answer a few questions. It's also not as good as The Sarah Connor Chronicles either but it's definitely worth a watch IMO.

Thanks so much!!

Isn’t it great to see people seeing T2 for the first time not knowing anything that will happen 💯☯️

Thank you!

Yeah.and sister act 2

That's absolutely amazing! One small mistake and this movie wouldn't have been made and instead we'd have had some tragic news instead. The resultant shot is iconic, though!

That's my take too. She realized she'd have killed her humanity if she ended Miles. Thanks so much for watching with us!

Linda trained with an Israeli Green Beret and became proficient in multiple weapon types (pistol, rifle, shotgun) in order to play this role.

i know :( i literally was about to shed a tear for him!

Is that, that new? How's about your absolut dream car? It's also a machine...

That's amazing!

Lol yes! I love looking at these from an outside perspective and seeing how Tori is grossed out by some stuff that makes me giggle like a weirdo... two very different reactions indeed 😂

Haha absolutely! I love how different each of our reactions are 🤣

Did you know Billy Idol was casted to play the T-1000 but got injured in a motor cycle accident so they got Robert Patrick to step in ?

Amazing! Thank you! I've not seen Titanic in a long time. Whom did Jeanette Goldstein play in it?

@@RuntotheMovies She played "Irish Mother" she is the woman 38 seconds into this clip who is putting her children to bed. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a86IepSlp6ytmWw.html Cameron kind of considered her a good luck charm after Aliens and T2, so he handed her the script and told her to pick out a cameo part, and she chose the Irish mother putting her kids to bed as they wait to die.

🤣

Maybe as a robot, he has decimals for all forms of counting.

Max, editor, here. Nobody who saw this in the theater will ever forget the experience. This movie is one of a kind. I was so excited when the girls finally got to see it. Thanks for watching with us!

@@RuntotheMoviesyeah the horror stuff was great too . Silver bullet and mad man mars. Their not really horror like Jason or Freddy but still classics.

Robert also appeared as a t1000 in other films, such as The Last Action Hero.

Patrick also starred in the Outer Limits episode "The Light Brigade" and he had a Terminator style robot arm.

Sorry, but the correct usage and spelling is "epic" and not epoch!

Thanks for watching with us! Everything in this movie is perfection, I feel. No little detail is overlooked.

Thank you! It's signed by Marina Sirtis. She was very sweet.

Thanks! We've got a few Trekkies here at Run to the Movies. LLAP!

That's an excellent point! You start out feeling like he's just another disaffected teenager, but get to like him as the movie goes on.

Yeah, kind of a sappy and irrelevant line given what we've learned about human cognition in the last three decades, but it worked for a movie made in the 90's.

What an ethical question... How does it appear when we are now 8 billion people on earth, of whom 2 billion shouldn't have been born in the first place. That may sound cynical and inhuman, but what we are increasingly expecting of the planet can only lead to catastrophe... And how humane is it when hundreds of millions perish miserably in conflicts...?

@@melchiorvonsternberg844 I guess I commented to soon. Not everyone has left the 90's I guess.

@@rsrt6910 Wrong thought! Here in Europe, things aren't as crazy as they are in North America. The world doesn't revolve around America, or around American ideas. And one more thing... We in Europe are 120 million more people than in the US. And that doesn't include Swiss, nor Norwegians, nor Britons. We Europeans make up the majority of the western world. Don't forget that!

@@melchiorvonsternberg844 Wrong thought as well! Here in South America, things aren't as crazy as they are in Europe. The world doesn't revolve around Europe. or around European ideas. And one more thing.. my country's population and countries that share my countries ideals, number in the billions. WE make up the majority of the WORLD, western or otherwise. Don't forget THAT!

Completely agreed! Thanks for watching with us!

Thank you so much! The dog is Happy and the cats are Shadow and Boo (the Boominator), who is the main star of our show.

Awww thank you so much for the kind comment 😊

Thanks again for being a patron and a pillar of our community! We're going to try to have the Aliens Reaction up on Patreon soon. There are some technical difficulties with it right now.

@@RuntotheMovies that’s cool i figured it be on Patreon soon but it happens and no worries. I work so much it is hard for me to watch everything lol

@@RuntotheMovies She was also in Titanic, yet another one of James Cameron's all-time greats! 😉

@@AlexKaneROTN I never knew that. Plus I haven’t seen that movie in maybe 20 or so years lol

@@agarven1 hahaha! 😂

Yes! Both of them did the mirror scene as well where Sarah takes the chip out of T800's head. As twins they were pretty much in sync with each other and Cameron loved it! Rest in Peace, Leslie. I can't believe she passed away.

Ha! That's really funny but it also makes sense. Things often get lost in translation or have to be changed for language. This goes far beyond movies and is nothing new. For example, the English translation of the book title "Ear and Peace" makes absolutely no sense in the context of the actual novel. It was just a bad choice by the translator. Thanks for watching with us!

It must have been quite the experience at the premiere! I'm jealous.

@@RuntotheMovies It was absolutely incredible! 😊

The ending is awesome actually

No way! Of all the things, I'd have never guessed that!

Thanks! We definitely have it on our list our Patreon supporters will soon be deciding what Arnie movie we're to watch next. Personally, I'm with you on True Lies.

Wow! 😳

M79 Grenade Launcher

Wow! That's seriously cool!

This movie is an absolute masterclass in filmmaking. Every character grows and is a different person by the end. Thanks for watching with us!

Another great flip is Sarah again pushing the button to kill the Terminator. But this time, it's a regretful death sentence.

What a wonderful memory to have!

Very true.

Plot twist: A Terminator can regrow itself from just an arm! (Maybe I'm confusing it with a starfish but it's the same idea)

Thank you for watching 😊

I cannot imagine living through the atomic scares. Especially for folks who were around for the Cuban Missile Crisis. Im older than either Hannah or Tori, but I was only a child in the 80s and 90s, so I missed all of it, but I do remember the atomic drills when I was a child in grade school.

The Day After is likely more known to American audiences but I also recommend a BBC production called Threads. Done in a semi-documentary style as it progresses it is a very chilling depiction of the realities of what a nuclear exchange would bring. It was so impactful that it actually changed the timbre of policy and helped pave the way to the nuclear disarmament treaties.

Wow! 😳 yeah, that part was absolutely crazy

Yeah, World War II...

"Because war, war never changes."

Looks cool, though!

Ha! Filming videos with both Tori and Hannah is always such a blast! So glad you enjoyed this one!

😂😂😂

Lol 😆 thank you! I was like, what is he doing to her

@@Tori14537 -- Sarah was cunning and dangerous.. If she had flinched, Dougie would have known she didn't take the meds..

That totally makes sense

I agree that this makes sense but until now i haven't read it that way and this is my favourite movie since 30 years now. I always assumed that was a kind of power abuse. If you also include the extended version scene where they beat her up i think this reading might make more sense then yours but ok it would change the meaning of the scene a bit if one reads it your way.

@@starryk79 -- Well, it's both.. It's power tripping, but you also have to remember how dangerous and smart Sarah is.. Giving her a kiss wouldn't have been enough to set her off.
