The fact that you don't have 200K subscribers is criminal. You're the funniest reactor on KZfaq. And it's not even close. You are the only one who makes me literally laugh out loud about 10-20 times a reaction.

Robert Patrick (T-1000) was an accomplished track runner and in the mall garage scene he ran so fast he caught John in his bike in the first take, so they had to give him a bigger head start.

To this day... this is still one of the best action movies ever made.

Robert Patrick turned the T-1000 into one of the most terrifying bad guys in movie history. I don’t watch anything past this one. This is the gold standard. PS. I nearly died when your co pilot scared the 💩 out of you! 😂😅

Linda Hamilton is awesome in this. She gets a lot of credit for the physical changes she made, but the best part of her appearance here for me is when she was about to kill Dyson and broke down. In that moment she realizes she became what she feared the most. She became a terminator, somone willing to kill to change the future. It's a great moment.

Nobody should ever feel ashamed of crying at the end of Terminator 2.

"He had a twin in that movie." That was so funny to me, because he had a twin in this one, too. When we see Sarah dreaming, watching "herself" through the fence, that's actually Linda Hamilton's sister, too.

"I'm not gonna cry over the one armed robot" 🤣🤣🤣 Love it!

I’ve always felt that the death scene where he’s panting and holding the detonator to let everyone get out before Cyberdyne explodes was extremely well done. Memorable.

The thing about the first film is that you need to see how Sara Conner is at first an innocent young woman not knowing anything outside of her normal life with her roommate, not believing this at first, having to be convinced it is really happening and coming to the realization that she had to go and learn about what she needs to do to become the woman who raises John Conner to be this great leader. Without the back story you would never understand where she came from and what it took to get her prepared to come up against this

I nearly passed out laughing at the scare the dog gave you at the end.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

For some reason I think that movies in the 80s and 90s were so much more... I don't know, epic, iconic. Just look at those shots, there's a soul there.

Thank you EOM for being one of the very very very few reactors that noticed that Arnold did not kill anyone who attacked him at the bar, and how that indicates he is the good guy. SO many people just do not even notice that, and are so surprised later on when Arnold turns out to be the good guy. 💯✌

I have always appreciated the change in Sarah Connor in T2.

Still blows my mind that John's Foster mother is Vasquez in Aliens

That actually IS Linda Hamilton from the first Terminator. She got buff AF for this role, she was in fact doing those pullups on the bed. And the lockpicking she does, she actually taught herself when she read the script. Linda Hamilton is a bad ass. And the T800 not shooting the guys in the bar and then almost shooting the body builder - only thing I can imagine is that it was John in danger and not the Terminator.

"Hasta la vista, baby." Fun Fact: Linda Hamilton's twin sister, Leslie Hamilton Gearren, was used as a double in scenes involving two "Sarah Connors" (for example, when the T-1000 was imitating her). Identical twins Don Stanton and Dan Stanton played the hospital security guard and the T-1000. No Camera Tricks Fact: Robert Patrick undertook a rigorous running regime and practiced breathing only through his nose, in order to appear to be a cyborg that could run at high speeds without showing fatigue. He had trained so hard that he was able to catch up to Edward Furlong on his dirt bike with ease. Stripper Night Fact: A female passer-by wandered onto the biker bar set thinking it was real, despite walking past all the location trucks, cameras, and lights. Seeing Arnold Schwarzenegger standing in the bar dressed only in boxer shorts, she finally asked what was going on, only for Schwarzenegger to reply that it was male stripper night. Nuclear Nightmare Fact: Special effects guru Stan Winston and his crew studied hours of nuclear test footage in order to make Sarah Connor's "nuclear nightmare" scene look as realistic as possible. A miniature Los Angeles was made to simulate the scene. Some of the materials used in the miniature that mimicked all the destroyed masonry were Matzos crackers and Shredded Wheat. After each take, it would take on average two days to set the model up to shoot again. In late 1991, members of several US federal nuclear testing labs unofficially declared it "the most accurate depiction of a nuclear blast ever created" for a fictional movie. The special effects team members have stated several times that no scene they've worked on since has received an equivalent amount of praise or emotional feedback from viewers.

You immediately recognizing Budnick was my favorite part

In the end he didn’t say I’ll be back he said Good bye it was the ultimate terminator movie and possibly the greatest action film of all time.

I think you're the first reactor to recognize the Salute Your Shorts guy. He's always had such a distinctive voice to me

John's step mom was the actress that played Vasquez in Aliens :)

I love how the biggest jumpscare you got while watching this movie was from Drago during your reaction at 44:04! LOL

You almost crying made me cry all over again. Great reaction. So glad I found your channel

Saw this at 10 yrs old at a drive in, one of the best movie experiences I've ever had

My favorite scene from this film is when Sarah runs into Arnold not realizing he’s actually there to help. Her reaction was so real and visceral.

Man every time the Terminator gives the thumbs up at the end it hits me in the feels. It did when I was watching this as a kid in the 90s and it still does as an adult today.

There are three occasions where a man is allowed to cry. When your child is born, when your pet dies, and the ending of Terminator 2.

13:18 I always loved the way the T-1000 morphed (not just at this timestamp, but all throughout)

I’d recommend the movies: “Powder”, “Phenomenon”, “Michael”, “Bicentennial Man”, “Meet Joe Black”, and “Surrogates”.

SO much gorgeous stuntwork done in these films. Old Skool stuntwork without CGI. Gorgeous!

Man I love seeing what you decide to use for the bad word icon. Always makes me laugh! Keep up the great reactions!!!

This is one of the top 3 movie Sequels of all time along with Aliens and The Empire Strikes Back

You're awesome. It was so fun hearing your thoughts. You said you were bad at recognizing people but you spotted Hank from Breaking Bad and in full swat gear! You made a lot of good observations

Robert Patrick was also the evil mercenary in Die Hard 2 that first shot the SWAT guy in the big walkway shootout scene.

Mad respect for you spotting Hank from Breaking Bad in this!

My favorite trivia of this movie is that John's foster mom is played by Jenette Goldstein, whom you have also seen in Aliens, as Vasquez.

Totally agree that The Terminator and T2: Judgment Day is a perfect story arc and more sequels were beyond unnecessary.

I like that this film is very action heavy but also implements some deep science fiction questions throughout the film. You don't see a whole lot of action films dive deep into philosophical and hard science fiction ideas.

OMG! I love this movie and have watched SO MANY reactions, but you are the only/first KZfaqr I’ve seen to identify Budnick right away! I guess I can’t expect reactors who were born after the show even aired to catch that one. Well done❤

When your dog scared the crap out of you I just about shot beer out of my nose that was hilarious.

This was great in the theater back when it came out. That level of CGI was still fairly new, and even the parts that were a not so great was better than most of what had come before. The T-1000 walking through the bars and that reversal near really got a reaction. It was also funny to think that that shrink would be checking in to the facility after having his mind blown like that. Halon is a fire suppression agent. It displaces the oxygen in the air so the fire can't burn, or something like that. It will kill you if you breath much of it.

Watching as an adult makes me appreciate Linda Hamilton’s performance. I sympathize with her character so much more (people not believing her; what to do with that information she was given; the work she put in to her body and mind).

One of the earliest movies I recollect crying to. The end just got me, even at that young age.

"Camp Anawana, we hold you in our hearts, and when we think about you (it makes me want to fart). It's "I hope we never part". Say it right or pay the price. Can't believe I still remember that. Thanks for the nostalgia throwback brother.

Linda Hamilton's twin is in this movie. There was also a really cool scene in this extended edition (cut from theatrical Version). It shows what looks like a mirror reflection when Sarah Connor is taking a chip out of Arnold's head, when in reality it's her sister on the other side. Her twin is also another scenes as well.

"I know why he's naked I just figured they'd fix that along the way" You do realize when Sarah said Skynet send two terminators back through time, she was referring to the terminators that were sent back to time to delete Sarah and her son. The first one went to 1984 to delete her and the other went to 1995 to delete her son. Both were sent at the same time. A lot of people, including me, misheard her and thought she say that Skynet sent two terminators back in time to delete John. No, John Connor send Kyle Reese back to 1984, and then they send this reprogrammed T-800 back to 1995 before (like what Reese said in the police station in T1) leveled time displacement complex.

"I didn't like any part of that!" "The one-armed robot is NOT gonna make me cry." THIS and all the other bomb-ass reactions is why you're THE BEST

Good eye on the security guard. He is an actual twin, and they were both in this. Also in Gremlins 2. Fun fact: Linda Hamilton (Sarah) is also a twin and her sister was in 3 different scenes of this movie.

I met the twins/security guards at a random arcade in Huntington Beach a little after this came out when I was a kid. Super nice dudes!

I first saw this back when it came out on rental here in Norway. I was 10 years old at the time and it was the scariest movie I had ever seen. My uncle who saw it in the cinema couldn't stop talking about the special effects, and I think it can't be overstated how incredible they were at the time - I don't think they were matched until Jurassic Park came out. Today I feel we are very jaded when it comes to special effects. I don't think you mentioned it, but you might have recognized John Connor/Edward Furlong from American History X. He looks different with hair but his face is quite characteristic. You're completely right about how it was unnecessary to make any more movies after this, but no way a movie as successful as this one wouldn't have sequels. Unfortunately none of the subsequent movies are anywhere close to T2 in quality and of course you will compare them to T2, so it's a setup for disappointment. T3 is basically "what if there was a sexy female terminator" and it's as dumb as it sounds.

Your puppy with the best jump scare yet. 😂😂😂

I was a teenager when this came out and since both of my parents loved the first one, we saw this at the theater on opening night. The movie was fantastic, more than we had expected, but what I remember most clearly is the silence of the crowd coming out of that theater. Everyone was just blown away by the special effects. In 1991, they were unlike anything we'd seen before and it was stunning on the big screen.

Maybe the quickest “shut up!” We’ve had so far? 😅 we need a shut up compilation. My personal favourite was J getting shook by Mr Jingles from Green mile. 😂 happy new year to the EOM crew. Hope you have a great 2023 🎉

I agree! T2 IS indeed a damn near perfect movie.

Always love seeing the dogs moving around in background under the blanket sleeping and playing and moving around lol. Still love how that one seemed to be comforting you when you were sad at the end of titanic he was like so worried about you crying lol

This sequel is flawless. It’s the best one.

I’m so jealous you get to watch this for the first time. I was about 10 when I watched this and wow, for the film it wanted to be……perfect.

I loved your reaction! T2 is still one of the greatest sequels ever made and the CGI back in 90s was really mindblowing.

"They sent the Great Value terminator out to fight this!?" LMAO Dude you're hilarious. You always pick up on the comedy that nobody else does, like Reese running around bare-assed in a hobo's pants for all of the first movie. Love it.

The helicopter pilot was a real vietnam pilot that flew that helicopter under a bridge, no cgi, looks incredible

They're got you to feel for a terminator more than any character in AVATAR Yes Sarah Conor character development is perfect

Happy New Year all, the year of MJ. Can't wait for this reaction.

Oh man, I lost it so hard when your dog startled you, lmfao 🤣🤣🤣

44:05 - OMG! That made me laugh. Love your dogs!

When I watched this in the theatre at the initial release, it was such a mindblowing experience.

I totally agree with your assessment on the ending. They just wanted to milk it after that. They should've left it alone with this high note. If you're gonna watch another one just do T3. But please don't ruin it for yourself and watch further than that. Tbh, watching T3 kinda ruins it, in and of itself.

God, the whole video laughed to tears) One classic phrase is enough - Shut up, please!, and a long look of irony at the screen) You are the funniest reactionary!)

4:57 That guy reminds me of "Dimebag" Darrell(RIP) every time I see this part.

Great reaction as always. Anybody who recognizes Buttnick right away is cool in my book 😀

Yelp! Vasquez from Aliens is John Conner's foster mom.

"Salute Your Shorts" "When I think about you, it makes me wanna fart!" lol

Fun fact: When the T-1000 imitates Sarah Conner, the actress is Linda's real life twin sister.

T3 tells a different side of the epic story of John Conner.

Arnold had alot more opportunity to act in this sequel than the first movie and it made the film so much better. When Terminator tries smiling for the first time, to me is one of the most funny and unnerving scenes of the movie.. great reaction as always.. 👍 hey my man Drogo was just trying to see if you were ok and gave you a fright.. 🤣

Dude, I had the biggest grin when you started singing the Salute your Shorts theme

haha. love that you notice the kid from 'salute your shorts'

The first Shut UP!! of 2023 @3:43 :) Happy New Year to all at EOM :)

You hit the nail on the head about it being a perfect ending and not needing to go any further. Cameron pretty much felt the same way and the franchise goes out of his hands beyond this point. Money is the only reason why the 3rd movie exists, and things just go downhill from there. T3 does have a few good action scenes but the rest of it is pretty forgettable.

16:00 awesome Coming to America reference 🤣🤣🤣

To answer your question about why they would make another movie, they didn't, this is the last one. You may see other terminator films but those aren't real.

24:28 People really used to keep their keys like that. This movie preceded a major uptick in carjackings that may have been induced by this movie pointing out that people leave their keys in their cars, so people began to take their keys more seriously, so parked cars were harder to steal. This is also done four years later in *Independence Day* when Vivica A. Fox confiscated the big truck after the city was destroyed. I can't think of any movies that did it after that.

Arnold actually broke some of his fingers when he picked up the wrong gun and tried to spin it

The twins from Good Morning Vietnam were both in the movie, with one playing the guard and the other as the T-1000 transformed into him. Also, James Cameron knew exactly what he was doing when he made the T-1000's base human form a cop.

Linda Hamilton took my neighbor to his Marine Corps Ball.

In the first movie, You recognized Lance Hendrickson - AKA "Bishop" from Aliens Im surprised you hadnt recognized Michael Biehn - AKA - Kyle Reese - AKA "Corporal Dwayne Hicks" from Aliens ALSO... Funny thing John Connors Foster Mother is Jeanette Goldstein - AKA "Lieutenant Vasquez" also from Aliens! ALSO - In the first Terminator - One of the first few punks that got killed in the beginning of the movie was Bill Paxton - AKA "Private First Class - HUDSON" also from Aliens ;) James Cameron loves to use his regular Actors ! I always look forward to your videos! Youre awesome and funny!

When we could see one of your copilots moving towards you across the bed, and you clearly didn't see this, I counted down out loud ... "three ... two ... one ... WHHOOO!" Reaction platinum!

I think the metal that was used was Gallium. As hard as it is to believe, in first grade the school actually had us kids play with mercury - I remember dipping my finger in it!!

Hell yes, it was a damn near perfect movie

I hope this is the original theatrical movie not the directors cut with the alternate ending lol

"Salute your shorts" Bobby budnick lol that took me back

That's a damn near perfect movie .....ohh your're goddanm right . This movie is a true masterpiece .

I just looked him up after all these years, and I didn't realize that Danny was played by Norm Nixon and Debbie Allen's son! Mind blown 🤯

fun fact, arnie didn't have to learn any of his lines, when he was in a driving scene, as you notice the wind shield isn't ever shown, that's because arny literally convinced the director for him to tape his lines to the wind shield so that he would just read it, & have this more robotic sounding voice.

One thing I really like about Robert Patricks performance was the only time I saw him blink was when he was talking to the foster parents

"That's Detroit" kills me every time🤣🤣🤣

Man I was just about to go to bed thinking id get to go to sleep to this. I'm so excited now for tomorrow! Best sequel ever!

Halon is a fire suppression technology where Halon gas is pumped into a space, the gas displaces all the oxygen and extinguishes the fire. If a human in in the space they will suffocate almost instantly without an oxygen breathing apparatus.

Did you recognize John's foster mom as the badass Marine from Aliens? Good thing about Cameron is that he used actors he liked more than once. Built up a little stable.

28:20 Me and my friends at school were all 10 years old when we saw this in 1991. No movies before this really depicted what a nuclear explosion would do to a city. All we knew was the mushroom cloud pictures from the history books, we 'heard' about shock waves, but the word didn't really mean anything until we saw this scene. Cameron left out landmarks being destroyed so that viewers could picture it being the downtown area of their city.

You remembered Salute Your Shorts! Really wish they'd release it on DVD. Loved that show!
