My parents saw this movie in theaters. They told me that the entire audience was dead silent as this scene unfolded. This scene, more than anything, truly illustrated how utterly unstoppable the Terminator was. Imagine being in a police station, surrounded by dozens of police officers with guns and automatic weapons, and still not being safe. Because nothing will stop the Terminator until you are dead. NOTHING. James Cameron is a genius.

[@medinaalangabriel]

A kinda interesting point when comparing T1 with T2 is how effective the T-1000 would've been in this scenario. The T-800 here causes lots of damage, but it ends up being completely pointless, as terrifying as it was he screwed up big time by being so overly noisy, so blunt. The T-1000 here would probably only kill a single person in all the building, taking the shape of only a single officer, but that'd be all what'd be needed. It makes quite a powerful contrast: which one is the worst? To have to face an unstoppable force with almost no hope for victory or to be attacked from the person you'd never expect?

[@killed2deth736]

Indeed a good upgrade on skynets part.

[@shriharihudli]

Stealth is always superior to brute force tactics.

[@mobiusraptor7]

If the T-1000 was used instead, then maybe the movie would have ended sooner without reaching the police station. Let's say T1 went as usual: the T1000 kills the first 2 Sarahs and kills Ginger who was mistaken for THE Sarah Connor. If the T1000 heard Sarah calling from TechNoir, the T1000 would take Ginger's shape and then go after Sarah. This is assuming the Resistance doesn't program a T-800 to go help Sarah, which is a different story altogether.

They are good in different ways. T1 is a thriller and T2 is action. You are far from the only one who like the first one better.

I also like the first better. I love T2 as well, but the first movie for me is tighter: it fast paced, a very efficient film, Arnold is an awesome villain and it did it all first. One thing that I've noticed over the years watching T2 is that it basically uses a lot the major plot points from the first movie: the final chapter in both films is the protagonists being chased by a semi-truck, someone gets wounded and ends in a production plant of some form. They are different films, but where T2 dialled up the action and effects (which looks amazing), I just prefer the more stripped down story.

[@xxdomoxxkunxx]

If I recall only near point blank 50 BMG would likely penetrate a T-800's armor and ultimately damage the core. The whole pipe bomb/metal press was really just using what they had. Those 5.56x39mm M16s, M4s and various .357 Magnums didn't do anything to it. We are talking 15mm+ of reinforced steel

[@TheTSense]

@@xxdomoxxkunxx What made the Terminator shoot them, then? He lost time with all the turning around and killing people.

[@xxdomoxxkunxx]

@@TheTSense That is actually simple. The Terminator originally asked for Sarah, said it was a friend and originally tried the stealth approach. That failed and instead of risking a chance of failure/losing Sarah again it was going to fight it's way through. Why does it kill everyone? One, it needs to because it knows that more people who know it's an infiltrator the higher its chance of failure(likely hard coded for all Terminators) but when I mention armor, I mean it in a rough estimate. Much like the human body's bones are of different sizes the Terminator's body is likely of different armor strengths. After enough shooting the armor could start to weaken and spall, leading to potential long term damage(thus not worth risking) We already saw the meat start to rot and the facade start to wear off as the damage started to add up Third, now that I realize it is that if the Terminator was obvious it would eventually get to the point of the US army(National guard) involved which actually could cause Skynet to never exist(which would be a critical mission failure) thus its as simple as "No witnesses, Sarah must die"

@@xxdomoxxkunxx what i always found unrealistic is that the t-800 here can still be surprised by humans waiting for an opportunity to attack it. And in fact that it needs to manually search for Sarah, room by room. You would think that a machine built on over 30 years of experience fighting humans would be geared properly to at least detect them in hiding. I can understand that idk thermal sensors might still not have been miniaturized enough to use but supersensitive microphones? It wouldn’t be a stretch to have the terminator be equipped with microphones and audio analysis software so advanced that they could recognize a person based on their ragged breathing from a few hundred feet away. Or a slow cocking of a revolver, the nervous shuffling etc. This way t-800 could’ve easily shot everyone through walls like with that one guy instead of just reacting to humans it sees.

Nope, let's blame Hollywood or the studios or the directors or whatever. How did utter crap like the Twilight movies get made? Because there was a market of some 100 million silly little girls worldwide who wanted to see it. Despite both the regular audience and movie critics tearing those Twilight films to shreds many million girls (and overgrown little girls past 30 but with the mental maturity of a 14 year old) went to see it. Billions were made from the 5 released films. Billions. Crap sells. The audience makes it possible. Hollywood has since long just began focusing on "target audiences".

The problem with the Terminator movies after 2, is that they go out of their way to make them as OP as possible. But then they still die more easily than the first 2 Terminators did. In Terminator Salvation, they're not even bullet proof. The Terminatrix from 3 can control vehicles, but she never thinks to do that during the vehicle chase. She does it to a bunch of other vehicles but not the one that her targets are driving. I didn't even watch Genesys or Dark Fate because I already knew they were gonna suck and the series is done after 2. I never liked 3, even as a 5 year old kid I walked out of the theater thinking "this movie sucks". The only reason I gave Salvation a chance was because the idea seemed cool, a whole movie on the future war that James Cameron has briefly shown in his movies, starring Christian Bale as John Connor. But nope, it was a generic Drone war action movie that slapped the Terminator name on it with cheap callbacks. Boring forgettable, they don't even show us the same world that James Cameron showed us. The James Cameron future was fucking dark and hopeless, kids are hunting rats for food. The robots were bullet proof and required laser blasters to be destroyed. But Salvation chickened out of that by making it the beginning of the war, where it just seems like a boring desert environment with generic drones, and the classic terminator model, but now they can be destroyed by bullets. The last 2 movies have them getting killed off in minutes. They just don't get it, that more action does not always mean better, their way of handling more action dumbs down the suspense, Terminator 2 was the only good approach at the mentality of "lets make a more action packed Terminator".

It can’t be bargained with, it can’t be reasoned with, it doesn’t feel pity, or remorse or fear and IT ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT STOP, EVER, until you are dead.” Kyle Reese on the T-800 and then you read the lyrics of the song "Hunter" which is associate to the Rev-9.

Compare his entrance here to how he arrived at Tech Noir, earlier he was just straight up walking his way through but here he's taking a more formal approach.

I remember when I first watched The Terminator - it was already a terrific film and story up to this point in the movie... but then THIS happened, and it absolutely blew my mind. This is where the movie really takes off and it becomes clear exactly what this terrifying cyborg can do. As Reese & Sarah drive off at the end of I remember being left completely gobsmacked at the visceral storytelling that had just been put to screen. IMO it is the height of the entire francise.

@Powerage1986 from a thematic standpoint, T2 is better. A machine saving the Human race from Annihilation and being a father to a human just makes that movie superior as well as Practical effects.

While small arms can't do the trick missiles launchers and the power of a Tank likely could cause damage by running over it. These are infiltration units for assassination jobs or for getting into Bases and it's followed the same MO. The Cops couldn't stop it but military units likely could.
