Arnold Schwarzenegger on David Letterman in 1991 promoting "T2"

[@yugen]

"The big movie of the summer" this is such an understatement, it's easily in the top 5 action films of all time, many people would say it's the best action movie ever made.

[@Arnuuld]

Correct, it is the best action movie ever made

[@pleasantness1704]

Yeah at this point, I think it's fair to say calling it the best action movie of all time is pretty damn justifiable. Hell, it's one of the best movies of all time, period.

[@altinsilsile36]

Watched it 3 times in the cinemas at the time. The greatest action movie of all time.

[@dontworrybehappy8080]

The second it came out on DVD, I bought the movie, a new tv, and a kick ass sound system.

[@josemiguelcarrizo7373]

I rented the video of this film and, as I had 24 hours to renturn it, I watched it 4 times in one day.

[@lovemetinder1873]

That's hilarious

[@Aaliyahchannel2024]

I used to always make a copy of videos I rent on blockbuster. Didn't have to stress late fees then

[@jairunet]

Incredible how honest and right Arnold was since 1991, encouraging Americans to do sports and stay in shape three decades later, nobody listened to him 🤦‍♂

[@patrickblackwell777]

Saw T2 in the theater when I was a little boy with my grandma. Gem of a woman.. Still miss her 25 years later.

[@DavidThomas-me6pi]

I’m sure she was. And I’m sure you do miss her. I miss my grandmother too. She would be 124 years old.

[@TerpeneProfile1]

@@DavidThomas-me6pi lol she would be 124?

[@DavidThomas-me6pi]

@@TerpeneProfile1 yep. She was born in 1899 in the west of Ireland.

[@TerpeneProfile1]

@@DavidThomas-me6pi saying she would of been 124 is like saying she would of been 200. It’s very strange but funny, so thanks.

What an awesome grandma taking her grandson to Terminator 2!

[@MM-ig1iv]

"It's a monsta" man he wasn't kidding. it's almost an understatement, still my all time favorite action/ sci- fi movie. Edit: and it was way bigger than just the summer.. It was the biggest action movie EVER still!

[@dukenukem9770]

Thanks for posting this! This was WAY past my bedtime when it originally aired. It was great to see Arnold at his Hollywood peak. T2 is one of my favorite movies.

[@davidwicklin9943]

Great to see these “old school” interviews. I was 19 years old when T2 came out. Arnold looked so much leaner post-Olympia, post “Hercules Goes Bananas” days but he so parlayed his bodybuilding success masterfully into Hollywood and other successes in life. Letterman hung on to the ‘80s hairstyle into the early ‘90s. To think this was the same year Lee Haney and Dorian Yates went head-to-head at the Olympia in Orlando that fall. T2 was one of the best sequels ever!

[@brandonl5653]

I can not count how many times I have watched T2! It is my childhood movie! 👍

[@teeniemunkey]

This reminds us that Arnold was the best action hero in films that there was and ever will be. Still a great actor even today.

I like how humble Arnold is about the T2, he says the movie of the summer.... Actually it was the movie of the decade!

[@oskarfunes2505]

Arnie seemed genuinely grateful and touched by that standing ovation when he was introduced.

[@Ziadha]

Arnie is a legend!!! A great image of success and what a great sense of humour

[@jigyboy267]

Loved this so confident relaxed back in the day as well with amazing sense of humour ❤️

[@GQguy24]

I was 11 years old when T2 came out and I saw it twice in the theater that summer. The early 90s were seriously the best! A big part of me wishes I could go back to those times.

[@suttercane8150]

There are a lot of physically huge actors, Arnold stands out because he has personality.

[@samuelquintanilla6338]

T2 was and still is a monster.

[@boostedbavarian]

Watched the original this morning. T2 seems like the next best thing to watch now lol. Love Arnold's movies.

[@kill3rbyysight]

it's a classic 👌

[@JoshLavian]

7:55 - "Do you know Mr. Pastorelli?" "No, but I have seen him in movies." Five years later, they made Eraser together

[@JaredGilbert-x1r]

This movie was so huge that they played it in the auditorium at our 800 person towns- town hall on opening weekend and the effects stand up today in most scenes and it is easily Cameron's best movie to date as well. Also Cameron is from my province in Canada about 400 km north of my 800 person town...Kapuskasing, Ontario. I told my buddy Joe that last year and he asked "how did we not know that then?"...I said "because the internet was not only not high speed Joe, in Temagami 1991 the internet was dial up on one singular aptiva PC in our public school and James probably told many he was from Toronto, Canada so Americans would possibly know where he was talking about". 😂

Good for you 😁

[@-Vitalis-]

I was 6, so I had to wait a bunch of years to watch this masterpiece because "it was too violent and scary". Well, that's what my parents said... but they never found out that in 1993 my older cousin sneaked a VHS copy. It felt wonderful to break the rules for the first time, inside my restrictive home. My cousin is the best.

[@sutusmihaly]

"The big movie of the summer" also known as "one of the greatest action movies of all time".

As a kid ('85 born) I watched this movie over and over again with my dad on DVD in the early 90s.

13:54 "Do you like Michael Palin?" "Yes. He's under control." Positively terrifying. If I'd been Palin watching that, I would've cancelled Letterman & flown back to London.

[@BigBSinclair]

What was the story behind that?

Its gonna be a sad day when 80's and 90's action heroes are gone. Willis , Stallone , Van Dam , Lundgren , and Schwarzengger.

[@NadeGrant]

T2 is awesome I can watch it over and over again. I love it!!!!!❤

[@dovydenaspdx]

I just watched the movie again yesterday. It has aged to the point where it now seems very straightforward, without any gimicks. The camera simply shows what happens. The sense of space is far better handled then in most movies. A biker picks up a pool cue, the shot changed to show Arnold, the pool cue is entering the frame. A fight happens, it slowly moves through the space, it's all grounded. This is exceptional, but also movies have gotten really sloppy about this now. Nothing is anywhere, it's all disembodied like LotR and Star Wars prequels.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day will forever be THE Greatest Film that Arnold has ever done in my book Better than the 1st and WAY better than the 3rd movie Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton had great chemistry in the 1st 2 films and the 6th Terminator Film called Dark Fate (even though Linda Hamilton shooting a Bazooka is badass) T2 grossed more than ½ billion dollars God Bless The Arnold and Linda and BTW, my favorite line from T2 "I need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle" 😂

[@fairysrreal8728]

I need Skynet to send me back to the 90's, the best decade ever.

At first I thought I must be watching a copywritten video because I was expecting the interview to show a clip from T2, not Hercules in New York. Then I was like, wait a minute the quality of this video didn't change. It was then that I realized it was an intentional gag clip by Letterman. Lol.

[@antonio39776]

It is one of the few times that the second movie is better than the first which was also really great.
