Robert Patrick's audition for the T-1000 was just 5 minutes of him staring menacingly into the camera. He was also a track star in school and he ended up outrunning John on his motorbike and had to slow down for the scene. He trained himself to breathe through his nose while sprinting, reasoning that a killer robot wouldn't need to be gasping for air like a human, and also trained himself to not blink while firing pistols and to reload without looking, for the same reason, robotic facade.

Robert Patrick as T-1000 is an example of PERFECT casting. Dude was born for this role.

"If a Terminator can learn the value of human life, maybe we can too." Still one of my favorite movie lines.

The thing that made Miles Dyson's death so horribly realistic is that the actor, Joe Morton, knew what it was like to suffer a collapsed/punctured lung from a past accident. He really sold that agony.

Arnold: "Your foster parents are dead." Whimsory: "Well, don't sugar coat it." 🤣

A cool little detail that is often overlooked - because the special and practical effects of this movie take the most attention - is how well Arnold and Robert Patrick portray a very mechanical fight during the climax. No words are exchanged between the two, nor does either actor even make a single vocal sound. Their fight is so well choreographed that it even helps create the illusion neither is even taking breaths as they throw down, because both are machines and don't run on oxygen.

My mom and I saw this opening night. One of my best memories with my mom. The theater was packed, during the scene where Arnold terminator was mostly dead some guy yelled out, "All those who believe in the Terminator clap your hands! Arnold's eye slowly turned on and the crowd erupted!

The stunt work in this film is absolutely incredible. The scene where the helicopter flies under the bridge was so dangerous all the cameramen refused to shoot it. So James Cameron picked up a camera and personally shot the scene himself. Not only did he shoot the scene, he did it twice so he could get a shot in front the of the helicopter and one from behind.

The scary thing about Sarah's dream sequence is that apparently it is an accurate depiction of what a thermonuclear attack would be like. I'll take ground zero over being ten miles away thanks.

No, Whimsory, you don't "ramble". You actually take the time to develop informed opinions, and then you share them with us. And I am truly impressed with how good you are at this job! Keep up the great work! 👍👍

Sarah Connor is probably my favorite character arch in all of sci fi. From a typical everyday woman waiting tables, to finding her inner strength at the end of that film, to a total badass in this one, as well as a vulnerable mother in the scene where she tries to kill Dyson and can't, and finally someone who is able to find hope in all she's witnessed. Like you said at 37:49 regarding the kinds of characters you like, Sarah Connor is a prime example of how to do it right. She's also one of the reasons I roll my eyes whenever people claim scifi fans are misogynists for being critical of some modern, poorly written, female characters. The people that claim that have to be oblivious to classics like this movie, Alien, Star Wars, Star Trek, etc. Scfi fans love great female characters. We just don't like poorly written ones that are just vehicle pieces for some kind of social messaging. We don't like to be treated like children being read some kind of nursery-rhyme/morality fable. Give us good characters and we'll celebrate them. We've been doing it for decades now.

Awesome there's suddenly all these T2 reaction videos - one of the best sci-fi films ever made. Powerful, I remember watching it dozens of times in the 90s when it first came out - still a top 3 film of all time in my book. T1 was a fun horror sci-fi and T2 became a masterpiece of action-hero adventure drama sci-fi, maybe more thriller than horror vibes.

Linda Hamilton get well deserved credit for the physical transformation she made and becoming a badass. But for me the best part of this movie was her emotional roller coaster. She clearly has some sort of PTSD, but overcomes her fear for John, but then she slowly slips into becoming her own worst fear. When she goes to kill Dyson and John stops her she has a breakdown because she realizes she has become a terminator. She is willing to kill to change the future. At the same time the terminator is learning to become human. Nice arc for them.

The actor playing the orderly that licked Sara's face deserves a lot of credit. First of all, he was a nice guy so Linda Hamilton had to convince him that licking her was ok and important to the scene. Also, in a deleted scene, he was supposed to hit her in the stomach with a nightstick but was so worried about hurting her that he would blow the takes by not doing it hard enough. Then, when Sara breaks out of her room, she hits him in the face with a broom handle for real.

T2 is just a perfect ending. It's one of the few movies that made me cry. First time I saw it was around '98 on VHS. Not all reactors pick up on it but the scene where the two kids are fighting and the Terminator says "it's in your nature to destroy yourself" hit deep as a kid. The Terminator became more human throughout the film, even developing humor ("I need a vacation") and his own smile (btw, more goes into this in the directors cut with more scenes). When he said, "I know now why you cry, but it's something I can never do", hit me in the feels and the thumbs up finished me.

The transformation of Sarah Conner from how she was when the first movie started and how she was during the time of this move, is one of the best character developments with no so many words, ever done in cinema. Amazing story arc. She earned her strength. PS: YOU are an amazing reactor!

The T1000 didn't go into the floor, he spread himself thinly across the top. Robert Patrick is one of the greatest villains ever in this film. This film is almost 32 years old and it's STILL better than anything today. This was the first film to cost 100 million dollars and it showed. This film revolutionised CGI in movies, and the T1000 effects used the very first version of motion capture, which is used regularly today in films like Cameron's own Avatar films. Great reaction to a legendary classic.

Stan Winston Studios just put out a KZfaq video all about how they did the visual effects for the T-1000 the other day. Also, the Director's Cut of the film has some REALLY impressive visual effects shots that aren't in the shorter theatrical cut. You'll probably enjoy checking that out on your own at some point given how much you enjoyed this. Thanks for jumping to this one so soon after the first film, and having & sharing such an especially enjoyable reaction to it!

15:04 this scene is so good, how Sarah acts seeing Arnold because she think it's evil like the first time, so good, get chills every time.

Gotta love the Guns and Roses reference - the T800 considered a biker carrying a box of roses a pretty casual way to blend in to a mall.

You've become hands-down my favourite reactor on YT. I just love your enthusiasm, how thoughtful your commentary is, and how you actually PAY ATTENTION to what you're watching -- you'd be surprised how many other reactors just natter endlessly over dialog and important scenes, it gets SO annoying!! But you seem to have a much better sense of when and where it's appropriate to speak, and you leave more detailed discussion for after the movie has ended. It's perfect. Keep on keeping on, Whimsory!

You are a fantastic reactor. I follow many, and you are, hands down, my new favorite. It is such a joy to watch movies with you. I suffer from PTSD and extreme social anxiety and therefore have become an agoraphobe who lives in near total isolation. Watching others react to my favorite movies makes me feel less lonely. You are a treasure. I eagerly await your next reaction. Keep up the the great work and thank you.

Fun fact: Yes, Arnold did have a stunt guy for that motorcycle jump. And the scene where he tears up the police cars with the huge "minigun" (it's only "mini" relative to the mounted aircraft guns it's adapted from) was supposed to be a stuntman as well. The gun relies on the explosion of the bullets to cycle that big rotating barrel, so even though it was loaded with "blanks" (i.e. no lethal bullets), the cartridges had to be powerful enough to spin the minigun as if they were the real thing, making the whole gun dangerous to fire in a couple of ways. The recoil from the supercharged blanks was also a massive force, even if it wasn't quite as powerful as firing live rounds. So when it came time to get that shot, it was deemed too dangerous to risk the star, and a stuntman was put in. But Arnold ultimately had to do that scene himself, because he was the only one on set who was strong enough to lift the gun and control it safely while it was firing. A lot of the movie is clever trickery-groundbreaking CGI, but also some very clever practical effects. But some things, like those muscles, you can't fake.

I saw this in the theatre. Packed. The cheering that happened for Arnold and the boos for the evil Terminator were an experience I’ll never forget.

I completely agree with your statement at the start, as it is very rare when a sequel can out perform the original, but this is for sure one of those times. James Cameron does it again in regards to Alien/Aliens, but he wasn't really involved in the first movie, but he sure as hell put his stamp on the 2nd one. So add those two movies to your watch list if you haven't seen them already, you won't be disappointed.

You were commenting on how muscular Linda Hamilton was for this -- Arnold invited her down to his gym to train in prep for this movie.

The thumbs up at the end really seals the deal for the emotional aspect of the film. This is literally a perfect film because of that last sequence. I saw the movie posters at the theatre as a kid and it look so awesome even before I could even see it and it was so worth the wait when I got older. Epic Epic Epic film. Hats off to Jim Cameron.

The stunt where the chopper flies under the bridge was considered so dangerous some of the crew refused to be on set when it was shot believing the stunt man was going to get himself killed

You watched the right version because as much as I love Terminator 2, the extended version drags along with unnecessary scenes. The one thing I would recommend is looking for the extended scene where they reset the chip in his head (they open his head up). You should look for that scene, they should have put that in the original version.

Great edit!!! One of the best scenes in the movie is the one in which the disbelieving psychologist sees the terminator go through the bars, which makes him drop the hypo cap out of his mouth. I can't tell you how many reactors cut that scene out, which is disappointing. So GREAT JOB leaving that in because it feels so good to see it. :)

“A terminator can learn the value of human life, maybe we can too” I watched both terminators in the movie theaters and that line by Sarah Conner changed my life and thinking forever. It’s my #1 favorite movie ever. The message they send about humanity at the end is simply unbeatable. Linda Hamilton does the best acting job ever. Crying 😭on film is practically impossible to do and she does it perfectly. I wish she never married James Cameron because she has mega talent. It held back her acting.career. Oscar winning performance in both terminators. She’s a beast

Ive seen so many t2 reaction videos up to this point and this video is easily one of the best compared to all others. Big insights and interest in the movies themes and acting. I gotta say, im quite impressed due to your (presumed) young age. Keep it up and youll get bigger and bigger crowd. Huge cred.

YESSSS! I knew you'd love this movie, and I love even more that you appreciate Sarah for being a fully-realized character. In that line, I'll paste my comment from another recent reaction to this movie: This movie was SO ahead of its time, in SO many ways. Of course the FX stand up -- the Corridor Crew VFX KZfaq channel tried to re-create the jailbreak scene where the T-1000 walked through the barred door... and they couldn't do it. The original artists literally wrote their own mathematical code JUST for that scene alone. Custom built math for a few seconds that would stick in your brain for a lifetime. Legends. But aside from all that, they had a great scientist who happened to be black, and a strong female character who was not a "strong female character" in the modern sense. Dyson was a believable scientist and a caring father, not a Steve Jobs god-like figure or a Musk-like salesman. Nor was the movie winking at you the whole time to say, "See? And he's black!!". They normalized the casting, as it should be. Kids of all backgrounds can look at Dyson as a kind of inspiration (unintended apocalypse aside). And Joe Morton played him so well, we all felt sick when he didn't make it. And Sarah wasn't a perfect goddess, either. She had depth. She had character. She's someone that people can genuinely aspire to be like. She was more mentor than mother (a break from type as a Hollywood leading lady), and that made sense given all her struggles and limited time with John. She expands everyone's ideas of women's possible roles in society, and couches it with believable psychology reacting to extraordinary circumstances. And yeah, she felt like a terminator for a moment, when she was going after Dyson. Her line at the end of the movie about people being able to "value human life" -- that was her, acknowledging her own growth. Sarah Connor isn't just an icon because of her gender, she's an icon because of how compelling she is, both in the script and on the screen. Legend. Yes. Probably the best movie ever.

It's fantastic you were able to go into this movie without any spoilers. It's a brilliant piece of writing / directing early in the film as the t-1000 and arnold are closing in on John Connor. Until the shootout in the mall hallway, you don't know who is the good terminator and who is the bad. Automatically you'd think arnold is bad because he was the terminator in the first movie, and the other guy is a clean cut cop. Unfortunately, the trailers for the film, advertising it before release date, spoiled this reveal.

The last Terminator movie. One of the best duologies of cinema history.

Introvert? You're great! You're one of the best doing reactions. I respect the fact you rewatch and take notes. Shows you're really paying attention. Keep it up!

Linda and Leslie Hamilton aren't the only twins in this. The scene in which the T-1000 rose from the floor and copied the security guard before killing him was also accomplished with twins.

One of the three big CGI breakthrough movies of the '90s, along with "Jurassic Park" ('93) and "The Matrix" ('99). Sadly, they completely spoiled the would-be twist that Arnold was playing the "good" terminator back in the '90s before the movie hit the theaters. I didn't even consider it WAS a twist until I watched people reacting to T2 and they were surprised... then I thought "oh, i guess it WOULD be, if you didn't see all the trailers on tv ahead of time." Definitely the best in the series, it's full of James Cameron tropes done right. It put Sarah Connor on the short list of badass action movie heroines alongside Ellen Ripley. Linda Hamilton had a daughter with James Cameron a couple years after this movie, then they were briefly married for a couple years after that (her second marriage and his fourth, I think). Also, the role of John's foster mother was played by Jenette Goldstein, who also played the role of Vasquez in "Aliens" ('86) (another James Cameron movie). She was also in "Near Dark" ('87) alongside Lance Henriksen and Bill Paxton, who were also in "Aliens."

Your reactions are a joy to watch. Much respect for the hard work editing and thoughtful analysis

He didn't go into the tile. He turned himself into the floor. He was on top of the tile Ignore the people who said stop. They are clueless and don't know what they are talking about

"Hangin' on, like a dead fish" 😂. Also, you're not supposed to be ready for the jumpscare, that's the point 😜. Good job recognizing the police psychiatrist from the first movie, most don't or if they do they don't comment on it. And, you figured out the trivia about using twins on your own (also the guard who was killed by the floor was actually killed by his twin brother), but another fun thing is that Edward Furlong who played John basically hit puberty in the middle of filming and not only did he have a growth spurt, but his voice started changing and it caused all manner of problems making the movie.

I never get tired of watching people's reaction as they realize that Arnie is the good guy in this movie. Great job! I think you should watch T3 now. It's not quite as good as this one, but it's still good and it wraps up the trilogy, plus it has one of the best chase scenes ever filmed.

As i was growing up with these "golden Age Action flicks" of the late 80's and 90's it is a delight to see young people enjoying these movies as i did. These laid the foundation to all the stuff that we see today. You still have so much movie gold ahead of you ! Almost getting envious to you getting to watch those movies for the first time.

This was a great reaction and great editing! I think you got all of my favourite parts, that other reactors miss. This was probably my favourite movie when it came out, and I'm super glad there were no spoilers for you, especially the big reveal like 15 minutes in. Depending how much you liked it, the extended version adds a bit more to it, nothing necessary, but neat details. So glad you did this! Thanks again!

The movie sequels are devisive, but I think most fans would enjoy seeing you react to the TV series "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles." It's only two seasons, so it's not a huge commitment.

You did well picking up on the negative vibes of the "human" protector. When the movie was coming out they dropped the big reveal bomb in the commercials so nobody got to be "surprised" when Arnold turned out to be the good guy. Your reactions are just a lot of fun. You've got great character. Looking forward to whatever you watch next. There are some great movies waiting for you.

Thank you for your reactions, I’m glad I found your channel. As others have mentioned your editing is first rate. Your comments are about the movie and you have a great knack for knowing when to talk and when to watch. And you take your time to gather your thoughts to talk about the movie afterwards, so your comments are both short and relevant. I know it's a lot of work and I really appreciate how well you do it. Finally, you have a wonderful positive and honest attitude to watch the movie with fresh eyes, and help those of us who have seen it before experience it as new again. You mentioned that you like tv series more than movies because they have real character development. I think maybe you’ve been watching the wrong movies before now. We’ve seen some excellent character development in Good Will Hunting and the two Terminator movies you watched, and there are many many first rate movies like this. In fact it's why I like movies better than most series. I hope as part of making these you’ll begin to appreciate well crafted movies at least as much as you like TV series. They are both art forms that can be done well or poorly. Just like reaction making! p.s. I love your butterfly art. For some reason (not spoilerly) it reminds me of August Rush, and I think you would love that movie. Catch 22 I don’t know how to recommend a movie in any true way, because I don’t want to tell you anything about it before you watch it. I will mention that Robin Williams (from Good Will Hunting) is one of the actors in August Rush. p.p.s. I'm with the crowd that says skip the other Terminator movies. Some of them are serviceable and some aren't even that, but there are so many other great movies out there to watch first!

I have waited with bated breath for you to catch up to this for a long long time, I noticed you when you started reacting and I knew some day you'd start on my faves, when you released it 7 days ago, I still saved it for a good day and that is today. Thank you for fulfilling me.

You absolutely must watch Alien and Aliens (special edition) if you want to see classic sci-fi/action cinema.

The best reaction to T2 and excellent selection of clips many reactions don't include. 🏆Your expressions and commentary always a delight to watch. 🏆Best T2 editing!

Loading guns, treating gunshot wounds, driving truck. John was learning all that stuff since childhood.

Again super reaction! Thank you for watching with us. I can't wait to see what you have for us next.

Regarding Dean Norris (Hank from Breaking Bad); The helicopter pilot in 39:43 is NOT him considering that's why you've put this scene in your edit after talking about him. He's actually the SWAT leader that raids the SkyNet factory and shoots Miles Dyson. You can most clearly see him at 26:07 in this video as he approaches to Miles Dyson who struggles to hold the detonator and warns them to leave. He's the one who shouts "fall back!" to his team. I'm sure you'll recognize him better in his close up at 26:13.

You're really good at this. Please do Galaxy Quest. It's a parody/homage to Star Trek. But all you need to know is that the actor who plaid the Original Captain, William Shatner, really, really liked, um, William Shatner. And Star Trek fans can be a bit much. It's a terrific film.

I remember another interesting bit is that Cameron specifically wanted someone whose head motions looked like those of an eagle; like when it spots prey. Robert Patrick nailed it!

Glad you liked it - its a classic, a gem! cant even count the amount of times Ive seen this movie and I also enjoyed the extended cut with the additional footage ie Arnies head microchip being removed by Sarah and John, the dream sequence with Reece etc. ps they also used another pair of twins in this movie - the security guard that got spiked in the eye. And eventhough alot of ppl hated it I also liked T-Salvation at least it had the stones to go in a different direction rather than trying to rehash the same old story that had already been aced by T 1and 2, so when everyone complained about it (Salvation) they just went back to the same old formula and it stank!

Whimsory, oh, yes, you are a smart and insightful reviewer and film critic beyond your years, thank you for so thoroughly and wisely summarizing the summarized conclusions about the film at the end, this time one of your favorite and popular films! To such subtleties of the analysis of long-watched favorite movies, even his fans do not all notice them) Excellent reaction)

Great reaction to a great movie. I love the different facets to John's relationship with Arnie. Sometimes Arnie is like John's new toy, sometimes he's like a father figure, and sometimes John is like Arnies big brother just looking out for him and teaching him. Overall, you said it right, roller-coaster. I think you're lucky to have these reactions for yourself to see when you're older. I wish I could see my own reaction to it when I saw it for the first time.

Budget Terminator 1: 6.4 millions $. Budget Terminator 2: 100 million $ (rumors said it was even more than that in the end and the studio believed they would go bankrupt if the movie flopped). James Cameron is one of the few filmmakers who knows how to use resources smartly, for the benefit of the viewers. When you see all the bad stuff shot nowadays for 250 millions bucks (with way better special effects techniques available to do them), you realize that nothing replaces a good script with an effective bad guy (or not guy...).

Omg! Im laughing so hard from your reactions when the guy licked Sarahs face! 😂🤣

It's so interesting that you went into this blind. The trailer spoiled the fact that Arnold was the good guy, so it ruined the surprise. I was lucky enough to watch this in the theaters when I was a kid. I wish I could fully articulate just how insane those stunts and special effects were back then. It truly heralded the beginning of the 90's action movie genre. The director's commentary and behind the scenes production footage are definitely worth watching; there are so many cool little details that went into this. Linda Hamilton trained extensively for the movie; that one-armed reload scene at the end was added specifically because she'd become strong enough to do it. She also smacked that mental hospital orderly with the broom handle for real, because the actor kept on holding back and ruining previous takes. She also learned how to pick locks just for the escape scene. Arnold nearly broke his fingers when he tried doing that shotgun twirling trick and picked up the wrong prop. When they filmed the helicopter sequence, they really did fly it under the overpass; almost everyone was too afraid to try it because of how insanely dangerous it is, but the stunt pilot stepped up and did it _twice._ There are several more stories like this, so look them up sometime if you want.

Robert Patrick, who plays the T-1000, is a very versatile actor. He went on to play good guy, agent John Doggett on the later seasons of the X-Files.

Hi Whimsory I'm Roderick nice to meet you. Great to see the terminator 2 judgement movie. And I'm glad to see any of good reasons videos too as well. And I ve already seen all the terminator movies before, so thank you so much for that, and I'm really glad to see more a good reactions videos with you, and thank you very much for that too I really appreciate it.

Great reaction as usual! Not only was the budget higher, but the metal-morphing was absolutely new and never before seen. Seeing it in the theater when it first came out was just mind-blowing! And it still holds up 😊

Loving your reactions!:) I’d personally really enjoy a Terminator 3 reaction. It’s not as good as T2 but I still like it a lot:)

Another great reaction! You are on a roll keep them coming. You should start Patreon I will be happy to help support your efforts!

Man, i just found your channel and this is my favorite movie of all time. Glad you reacted to this and liked it, this was the very first movie I watched on vhs back in 91’ good times.

In the extended version there are scenes that help other parts make sense. In one scene they reset Arnold's chip so that he can learn more and better emulate people. It also shows the chip for the first time so you would recognize it when the 1st Terminator's damaged chip is shown.

Loving your reaction videos. You've been picking good movies for your reactions. Keep them coming :)

Such a brilliant reaction again. This is a fantastic sequel, great characters, great writing, great effects, it has everything. Another bit of trivia it wasn't just Linda Hamilton who had her twin in this film, the security guard at the mental hospital who the new Terminator copied was also played by two twins, and another bit of trivia for you, in the scene in the shopping mall where John Connor is trying to escape from the Terminators, Arnie is carrying a box of Roses, inside which there is a shotgun hidden, this is in reference to the band "Guns 'n' Roses" who did some music for the film soundtrack. Thanks again for your great reaction, keep up the good work. 🙂

My FAVORITE action-film of all time, watched it 4 times in theaters back in the proverbial day. Fantastic reaction video and commentary. You have a new subscriber. :)

Let's go! I saw this come up in my recommended vids and decided to watch your reaction to the first movie. I can't wait to see this.

I don't know why people recommend the short version over the director's cut. First of all -- It's the DIRECTOR'S cut. It's the story James Cameron wanted to present. It gives more insight into what's going through Sarah's head, illustrates more of the T-1000's weaknesses, and ties the story up beautifully.

Omg love your reactions and opinions of the movie! Glad you enjoyed it! Keep the good work!

"Kids laughing. Never a good sign. Right?" I laughed out loud!

Great reaction! You hit the good parts and you get them. Also your perception is really keen on the content. Don't change your formula!! Just keep doing you. Big instant fan!!

There a reason the sequel is better than the original; James Cameron. He knows how to follow up an original idea with interesting new concepts while being faithful to the original movie. Also check out Alien and Aliens to see how Cameron follows up a nearly perfect film with a masterpiece of storytelling.

Might be the best yt reaction to this movie that I’ve seen. (I’ve watched them all). Very well edited. Thumbs way up. Thanks for this!

just wanna say that i just found your channel and all that extra work you did to put in your after thoughts of the movie, is what made hit like and subscribe.

I personally prefer the extended cut of T2, if only because there's a great scene that explains why he suddenly starts picking up on human habits and traits in the second half of the film. We get a passable explanation via ADR dialogue while Sarah is digging bullets out of his flesh, but the full scene is much better imo. There's a lot more great scenes and shots that mostly got chopped to keep runtime down and the pacing fast, but I think The movie is still pretty well paced even with their inclusion.

The T1000 Vs T101 fight in the factory is one of the best villainous beatdowns in cinema. Skinny Robert Patrick demolishing Arnold so effortlessly is perfectly brutal and so very terminator.

The unsung hero of the movie is Charles Tamburro. He's a helicopter pilot, and he was working on a ton of movies and TV shows. He plays the pilot who jumps out after the "Get out!", and he was also the pilot who flew the helicopter under the bridge. Twice, at least.

The security guard in the hospital has a twin brother as well when he came up through the floor. That’s how they pulled that off

This movie is a mother-flippin' masterpiece. You should look at some behind-the-scenes stuff about the special effects. They invented many incredible new visual effects technologies for this film. Also, NICE catch seeing Dean Norris in this movie! :D

My wife and I are both film makers. I've worked with Robert Patrick, who played the T-1000. Also, we're friends with Michael Biehn, who played Kyle Reese in the first one. Him and his family live here in Arizona. Now, I happened to like most of the sequels after T2. I guess I'm weird that way. Only one I wasn't fond of was Terminator 3. Well, Terminator Salvation wasn't all that memorable either. But I like Terminator Genisys, and Terminator Dark Fate. Still, my favorite is the first one. It's the closest to a horror film, and I'm a horror actor/author.

I just came across your channel and frikking love it. You come at this with a seriousness and an excited cuteness that is refreshing.

Lovely reaction like always. I like that you go into these movies with an open mind and no prior knowledge. You also do not judge them by current standards, but allow for the passing of time. Keep it up! Subscribed.

Such a wonderful reaction! You should definitely watch the rest on your own time and see what you think.

I was so happy to see this reaction pop up. The theatrical version is probably best for a first watch and you can watch the extended version on your own later. Terminator 3 is a good SF/action movie but suffers in comparison to the first 2 films. The TV series, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, is a better continuation of the story IMO, and the pilot episode is especially good. You are my favorite new reactor. I love your energy and your look (especially your eyes). Please continue to do a variety of genres of films: comedy, rom-com, musical, SF, fantasy, action, adventure, animation, western, war, thriller, suspense, horror, etc. I may have already suggested it but a great early rom-com is "It Happened One Night" (1934) which won the 5 major Oscars: Best Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, and Adapted Screenplay. Another of my favorites, a historical romantic comedy-drama, is "Shakespeare in Love" (1998) which won Best Picture, Actress and Screenplay plus 4 more Oscars and has had almost no reaction videos on youtube.

this movie is for many people one of thebest Action movies ever its non stop with an amazing story . and the technology ,sound and image quality its real good for the year it was made.

The guy who took the pictures in the mall was the cop he carjacked in the first movie, 1L19, same actor and I think he’s one of the screenwriters. The reason his character took all the pictures is because he recognized Arnold as the guy who stole his cop car.

Apparently the TV trailer spoiled the big reveal for almost everyone back in 1991. I and my housemate must have been the only two people on the planet who didn't see the trailer on TV, and so nothing was spoiled for us. In the pre-credits scene, when the skull gets crushed by the T-800, may I say that we already had kick ass multi track digital theater surround sound back then, and, hell yeah, we all jumped out of our seats when that CRUNCH hit our ears! My housemate James' great grandfather was H. G. Wells, and so James was always skeptical of time travel films (since his great granddad wrote The Time Machine, the great granddaddy of all time travel stories) and at the end, James turned to me and said, quietly, in his New-York-born-but-raised-by-British-parents way, "Zero flaw?" Of course T-2 had a much bigger budget than the first movie. I think it was the most expensive film made up to that time. The anticipation leading up to it was ENORMOUS. The first film was moderately successful at the box office, but it also had gone on to gain a cult following because of cable TV and video rentals (back before streaming: this movie came out the year before the World Wide Web was invented). There was a huge marketing campaign for it, so it was definitely the movie event of the year. Its CGI still looks pretty good for what they attempted. The money made by movies like this one helped pay for the animation studios and software development that would lead to the next big leaps forward in CGI history,. Jurassic Park (1993), Twister (1996) and Independence Day (1996) being among the notable ones. I'm happy to see that, now that CGI can do pretty much anything, that there are still directors who fall back on practical effects where possible. Frankly, when CGI is pushed super hard, I find it distracting from the story, and almost too much to deal with. Give me a good story, and I will meet the visual effects department more than halfway. I've done a fair amount of effects work in zero-budget community theater horror and science fiction, and I know I'm not the only one. If you have a good story to tell, you've got me at "Once upon a time...."

You get why Sarah Connor is a great example of a truly strong female character. She has to struggle to get what she has. She overcomes a lot of obstacles, but not without sacrifice. She's strong and tough, but she also has a feminine side she doesn't have to hide. She and Ellen Ripley from the _Alien_ franchise are my go-to examples of strong female characters. Modern-day screenwriters NEED to analyze both characters to learn this. Every time the T-1000 appears on screen copying someone, it's actually that actor's twin. The prison guard he stabs through the eye and the T-1000 are real-life twins. They've appeared in other movies like _Gremlins 2._ You know about Linda and Leslie Hamilton. Leslie passed away a few years ago. I haven't watched too many of your FTWs, but I'm glad you take the time to put your thoughts in order before giving your final word. If that means a second or third rewatch of a movie, you're not afraid to do it. Your energy is awesome and you don't ramble. If you haven't already, I recommend watching _Alien_ and _Aliens._ You should watch the theatrical releases (if you can find them) instead of the extended editions.

Wow! Great reaction! One thing that changes this movie from "dateed" to "timeless" is that they altered the future to what we have now. In the beginning of the movie the reaction is, "Haha, the computers become aware in 1997 and the world ends." But by the end we know this doesn't happen. Brilliant!

Great reaction. You have a great combination of sentimentality and shrewd perception. One testimony to how well done the effects in T2 were, and how well they've held up, was when visual effects experts on another KZfaq channel, Corridor Crew - using the latest effects and rendering software, and working with high end computers - tried to recreate the famous scene of the T-1000 walking through those prison bars at the psychiatric hospital. They just couldn't get it to looks as good as the original effect, which was created over 30 years ago on computers with only a fraction of the power and speed of today's machines. Pretty mind-blowing.

Yay 😊 thanks for reacting to this Masterpiece !!! My new fav Movie reaction channel ❤ 🙌💯 your awesome 🤩

One of best t2 reaction videos and great selection of the important scenes - thanks for putting in so much effort it was amazing

You mentioned Linda Hamilton'd twin. There's another set of twins in the movie. Meet Dan and Don Stanton, the security guard at Sarah's hospital that gets a Terminator finger in the eye. They didn't need to do any filming tricks. The brothers Stanton can also be seen in a minor role, mostly as a sight gag, in the movie Good Morning Vietnam with the late Robin Williams. They were also in Gremlins II, a movie specifically made to make fun of the first Gremlins movie.

Really like your reaction. Glad you finally got to see this master piece. This movie is my High School days. This is a good place to stop with this franchise. However, I think Terminator: Salvation is pretty cool. It's a side story. Btw, you look so much like a young Jenna Malone.

Great reaction to an awesome movie! And the miracle of a bigger budget for better practical/digital FX. 😀 Robert Patrick trained so hard for this role as the T-1000. Learning to run full speed only breathing through his nose, and he was fast enough a sprinter that he actually caught the dirt bike in the mall parking garage. He was so amazingly intimidating in this movie. When he's more intimidating than Arnold, that's impressive as heck. When the orderly licks Sarah in the hospital, that was apparently one of the catatonia tests done by unethical or sadistic orderlies according to an old friend of mine who had worked in a few psych hospitals, mainly in California, back in the late 70s and early 80s. It wasn't unusual for patients to try to get an advantage by pretending to be catatonic, hoping that the staff would think that they were out of it and not pay much attention so they could try to escape or whatever. Licking someone's face was a mild way of testing, according to my friend. The more standard way of testing among the more brutal orderlies was what was called a cup check, basically hitting the person in the crotch as hard as they could with a broomstick or something like that (the tonfa, shown in the movie, or a billyclub, wasn't standard when he was working in the field, so the evil jerks had to use other items like broomsticks). If they didn't react then they were catatonic. And, sometimes, the catatonic patients needed to be taken to the hospital due to the damage inflicted by whatever the orderly did causing ruptures or internal damage. Apparently one patient lost his testicles as it was several days before it was realized how badly he had been hurt. And, of course, no one ever knew how it happened. “He musta fallen, or done it to himself to try to get out of here.” My friend never missed that job. He told me that some people did things worse than that, but those stories don't need repeating. There are actually two sets of twins in this movie. The other set are the brothers who played the security guard at Pescadero and the T-1000 imitating him. Sadly Linda's sister Lesley, a nurse in real life, passed away a few years ago. I remember learning that Cameron got a letter from a group of scientists congratulating him for the most realistic depiction of a nuclear detonation in a city in Sarah's nightmare. This horrified him since he was just trying to create the most over the top terrifying image he could, only to discover that it was accurate. Luckily, Sarah stepped back from Terminator mode before killing Dyson, which is good. Though killing Dyson wouldn't have changed much of anything. Cyberdyne still would have had the parts, all his notes, and everything they needed to complete the project. Judgment Day would have come anyway. The excellent Joe Morton, who played Dyson, had an accident that punctured a lung when he was younger, so he knew firsthand how Dyson should be breathing/gasping at the end. The extended edition had two advantages over the standard edition. Though it wasn't obvious in its performance, the continuous damage the T-1000 was taking from every shot that hit it and every impact was affecting it. It is most obvious at the scene in the smelting plant after being shattered when, as we saw, its feet tended to take on the aspect of the flooring as it walked and, in the extended edition, when it grabbed a railing its hand mimicked the paint job on the railing. Also, in the extended edition, at the final scene when Sarah is calling out for John, he looks down and sees that the fake Sarah's feet look like the ironwork that the T-1000 is standing on and he knows for sure which to trust. The extended edition ending is also superior for one more reason: it ends with older Sarah sitting on a playground bench and watching her adult son playing with her granddaughter, meaning that this Terminator movie is absolutely the end of the franchise, and all the movies that steal the name of the series after this are just lame cash grabs and can and should be avoided like the plague, in my opinion.
