No green screen, hard work, filming around the clock, all practical effects, great actors, made with passion and true heart. There is a reason why this is one of the greatest movies ever made.

32 years later its still the greatest action film ever made.

T2 was the last movie I watched with my dad before he passed away.. It has a special place in my heart ❤

How can you not love Arnold? The guy is just always in a good mood and having fun with everybody. Best action hero of all time.

This movie simply doesn't have any flaws. Timeless masterpiece.

I will never forget this movie. even in 2070 I will be 80 years old, I will continue to watch this masterpiece. thanks James Cameron

I really miss the non-CG era movies. Everything just look more real, instead of video games.

I've probably seen this 30 or more times easy and can watch it anytime without growing tired of it. This is easily one of my favorite movies of all time hands down.

Epic film. The effects still stand up in 2020.

T2 - for me - is the GREATEST action movie ever made. There are many great action movies but nothing bests Terminator 2.

Robert Patrick wearing a NIN badge is everything His brother Richard Partrick (who went on to form Filter) was playing guitar in Nine Inch Nails at the time and they were just starting to take off. He wanted to support his brothers "little" industrial band

James Cameron is a giant among directors

A great documentary on one of the greatest films of all time. If only T2 was the conclusion to the series and we didn't get so many horrible sequels...

Arnold’s awesome sense of humour is what comes shining through these behind the scenes documentaries. When Jim Cameron says you’re one of the most professional people he’s ever worked with, you wear that shit like a badge of honour. What a movie this was. Flawless.

James Cameron has made many good movies Alien , Titanic, Avatar to name a few. But Terminator 2 blew my mind back then ... Never again have I been so excited about a movie ... For me Terminator 1 is a super good movie but Terminator 2 is a masterpiece ... Terminator 2 is the best action movie ever made. Even today 29 years later movie makes modern movies look old. I have seen the movie 20 times and I will definitely see it another 20 times ..... My absolute favorite movie !!!!

My dad was serving in the middle east when the movie was first releases. He had a bootleg copy and brought it home before it even came out in the cinema's here. The whole estate came to watch it. We were amazed.

This movie will never be topped

I was an extra in T2 the movie at the galleria scene(arcade) where t1000 asked the long haired kid if he seen this kid..I was in a red and white stripped shirt playing the arcades ..it was a great experience

My personal favourite movie of ALL time. They just don't make them like this anymore. The unique story, characters both heroes and villains, unbelievable score, incredible balance between practical and visual effects... I could go on and on. Absolute Masterpiece. Simple as. Never gets old. The perfect movie.

Watched it 22 times. Still never grows old.

Robert Patrick is hands down my favorite Terminator, I love the big man don't get me wrong but I remember seeing T2 and scoffing at the start when I saw Robert first. I was like he is supposed to take on Arnie? Him? This wee runt? I am pleased to say how wrong I was. He was such a great villain, formidable vicious, and menacing. He elevated the film because he was that good at being bad. Towards the end, I was saying he's unbeatable. Great suspense. Great film.

I love Robert Patrick. His performance was creepy, good.

This shows the amount of effort, hard-work and brainstorm needed to create something epic like T2! salute to all the people.....actor, director, special effect team, crews.....everyone! even after 29 year we are cherishing this masterpiece.

A total masterpiece. Still holds up today 2022.

The first and only movie I ever watched twice in the cinema. Was worth every minute.

"You cannot risk yourself for me--even for a moment. You're too important." *Dark Fate immediately kills John off.*

Arnie is a mountain! Linda is a beauty! John is innocence! Robert is the horror! James is the king.

"I felt like hugging Jim but he's a guy, so, I didn't hug him." cutest thing ever XD

James cameron is a f*cking creative genius. Love the fact he envisioned every scene. The film is perfection .

Terminator and Terminator 2 are MASTERPIECES for eternity !

James Cameron is a friken genius. This film is an absolute masterpiece. Props to all cast and crew on T2.

This is still great to watch in 2022. This shows how a genius director, James Cameron is. The guy is an icon and a great director.

The making of history. The making of the greatest action film ever made

That's what you call making of a movie, no green screen

I was born in 2005 but I remember my dad first played this movie. I was 6 years old and we were watching this movie in his room. This movie will always be my favorite and hold a special place in my heart.💙

Hollywood doesn't make anything as good as this anymore.

James Cameron is a genius!

They understood real effects must go hand in hand with CGI effects something they have forgotten today

All the entire film crew and creative team are true artists. Made one of the best movies of all time.

There is no one like Arnie. What a legend 👊

One of my favorite movies of all time. Arnold is a god, and Cameron is the greatest action director of all time.

Before the internet, before mobile phones, before all of the nonsense we unfortunately have today. Back when we actually worked hard and cared for our craft. A bygone era.

This movie never gets old,one of those that stands the test of time. Jurassic Park,T2,Dazed and confused are just some for me that never age

I had no idea that the terminator getting shot in the police station while he walks toward them was entirely animatronic. I've seen this movie so many times, and that one slipped vy me eveelry time. I always thought the bullet hits were CGI, and it was actually Arnold walking. Holy crap!

I really appreciate how physically attractive both terminators are. Arnold's olympia body goes without saying. Robert Patrick back then was handsome af.

I played this movie for my young daughters 9 and 12 years old and they where absolutely blown away by how good this movie is !!

The greatest sequel ever.

Terminator 1 & 2 is arguably one of the best duologies ever made, the sequel makes perfect sence to the first and expands and adds a lot of innovations while still feelimg like a plausible continuation

the fact that almost all stunts were done without any editing is just insane to me

Even after 30 years this is still an amazing film special effects wise and I can't think of a movie that has come close since.

I’m here in 2023 and T2 is still a masterpiece.

32 years and counting and still a classic.

to this day, after watching T2 ABOUT 17 TIMES.....Linda in the scene with her doctor guy, her acting send schills down my spine, Still. That is REAL. ......but its amovie. I dont think anyone couldve potrayed that kind of "real"emotion like she did. She brought that scene & scenario tro life & made you feel it.

This movie was so well done considering how little CGI went into it and so much actual physically done scenes, it's absolutely amazing... they don't make them like this anymore...

STILL one of the benchmark films which sets the tone for other filmmakers to Reflect upon. And it isn't solely because of the EFFECTS. Nope. It's because James Cameron's 90's films truly had some serious heart and soul.

Terminator 2 officially turns 30 today! This is still a prime example of how sequels should be made James Cameron delivers one of his best films in the franchise Interesting how now we are 8 years away from the apocalyptic future the movie opens up on Incredible action, a worthy villain by Robert Patrick, lots of human depth mixing with artificial intelligence, and Linda Hamilton gives a knockout performance as Sarah Connor, she actually came up with the idea for the film with Cameron Edward Furlong's first role and only decent performance as John Connor, it's a shame he went off the bender for years The CGI effects for the T-1000 are incredible for early 90s film, actually won an Oscar for visual effects I'm still amazed Linda Hamilton had a twin sister this entire time The most expensive film made at the time and it fuled the success of Guns n Roses song You Could Be Mine I agree since the ending got changed it's a pick your poison kind of thing The movies message of hope is still relevant today; we make our own future we just have to fight for it

Whats crazy to me is that the CGI still holds up. Effects were jaw-dropping in 1991, and most importantly, still an immersive experience today. Making the ILM team one of the best effects companies ever.

I still remember going to watch T2 in the movie theater with my dad who was a huge sci fi nut. I was 15 years old and had fallen in love with the first Terminator film. We’d bought the tickets the moment they were announced and I still remember the drive out to watch it and what it felt like leaving the cinema. I was blown away. 32 years later and I’ve been a filmmaker for the last 11 years, reorienting my life around my childhood dream of making films. I mainly shoot fashion and branded content but not a moment is lost on me whenever I think about this film, Cameron and that era of filmmaking and the impact it has on my young mind and outlook.

Terminator 2 is easily one of the top 5 films ever made.

James Cameron is a Visionary Director. Terminator Series Movies are based on Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things.This Movie was ahead from their Time.

Handsome Robert Patrick! Brilliant role he did. Thanks for this program.

I love how John has a “public enemy” shirt on in the film

The special effects still live up to 2021 movie standards.

This is legitimately one of the best action films ever created. I have fond memories watching this film, though I was a little too young... the T-1000 was terrifying to me.

The franchise should have ended here at perfection.

I can't get enough of the banter between Arnold and his makeup artist

Perfect casting, perfect music soundtrack, perfect film. Cheers Jim 👍

A friggin masterpiece! I was in high school when it came out and we saw it in the theater probably 4 or 5 times cause we couldn’t get enough of it!!

For me it’s actually the music that makes this film so special ( obviously the special FX too ) . The fact it has little CGI is why it’s so good .

T2 always remains one of the Best , Iconic Action Movie ever👍

29:30 "The conclusion of the Terminator saga". So true. Everything more recent is garbage.

"the conclusion of the terminator saga" we can only dream

Cinematic piece of art right here, something we’ll probably never see again…

A classic that will forever stand the test of Time. James Camerons finest film probably. Watched this countless times

James Cameron in this video: John is 10 years old. Connor in "Terminator 3 Rise of the Machines": I was 13 years old.

23:17 I had no idea that was an animatronic, all these years/decades. Damn there was so much heart and love put into these movies back in the 80s/90s. It was always about the content, never the profits.

One of those rare moments where the sequel is EVEN BETTER than the original...though the original is also pretty epic. The rest, meh.

Happy 30th anniversary to the legendary Terminator 2.

Whoever will direct and write the next Terminator movie should start with watching this video.

T2 was one of the best and it can not repeat again in 100 years

James cameron knows how to direct movies.

gotta be the greatest movie of all time. the special effects just blew me away

Nothing short of MASTERPIECE is what this movie was, is and will be.

I’ll always love T1 and T2. These films are so iconic. James Cameron directs some amazing movies

Probably one of the greatest sequels ever made in cinema history. I've seen his movie hundreds of times from VHS to DVD to Blu-ray to 4K. I've seen all these formats I also seen in theater in 4k This movie is amazing. I've analyzed every frame every scene, the movies is masterpiece. It's a movie buffs. Wet dream T2 outstanding film. The only other movie that comes close in sequel form for me is aliens and that's for a different time in another story .cheers

I was a teenager when I saw T2 in theaters... We scored the 2nd showing at around 2-3AM and the line was out 1/2 into the parking lot of our cinema. It was a small town and I would say about 300 people where there (a lot for that town). We didn't mind waiting because we were just kids messing around at our usual hours...

Over 1000 film makers used during the creation of the film .. Amazing!

I was honoured to be able to watch it at the cinema and it's one of greatest films ever. 1991 was the start of a new decade and we had the terminator watching over the 90s

I was born in Dec 1991, I remember watching this movie with my family when I was few years old. it left something in me as something beautiful in my childhood. I wish I was old enough to enter this movie in theaters. The people who did saw it in theaters and specially in theaters near it's shooting locations in California those people have all the luck in the world.

James Cameron is a genius.

one of the rare sequels that's even better than the original

24:35 so this guy made the T1000 effects with a single 14'' screen and now I need two HD flat screen monitors for debugging a website xD

I love when they actually filmed at real place. New film filmed just in studio and most it using CGI and not at real place.

All these many years later and it remains as the greatest action movie of all time. There is no topping T2. It's simply perfection.

I'm glad this was uploaded on here. I remember sending something in , some proof of purchase to receive a copy of this behind the scenes on VHS when I was young. I'm 36 now and probably haven't seen this in 25 years, crazy.

I think Mr Cameron is the best film director in history when you think of movies like titanic and terminator

1 of the greatest FILMS EVER

Believe it or not, Terminator 2- Judgement Day is the first ever movie that i watched in my life. It was in 1996, only 5 years after its released. Can't believe that my first movie was a Science fiction, and is still considered as the greatest Action and Sci-fi movie till date.

I watched terminator 2 stored a VHS tape many hundreds of times in the 1990's - that's how good this movie content is.

I remember watching this in the cinema when I was a kid. Absolutely blown away.
