Linda Hamilton on the Arsenio Hall Show 1991 Terminator 2

Linda Hamilton is promoting Terminator 2 on the Arsenio Hall show. From an old VHS tape I was about to toss out and thought maybe some fans might want to see this. Sorry the video quality is going to hell after 25 years. More rare Terminator 2 stuff I recorded is coming soon so subscribe!.

[@adityakotgire5522]

Probably the most badass female character ever

[@Curi0u50ne]

Aditya Kotgire true but Weaver wud kick her ass, and she don’t even work out!

[@reerjgiorge]

That is a stupid assumption coming probably from a condescendent fan. I can tell you 1000% for sure that there are hundreds of more bad asses female characters out there lol.

[@scottward6974]

@G.A.P. Metal Punk That would have been awesome!! Imagine a Terminator film where aliens land and the machines team up with humanity to kill them! Skynet would be like "You humans are fucking annoying but at least you're from earth!" Then afterwards there's alien corpses all over the place and T1000s are still kicking the shit out of the bodies for hours just incase.

Is it me, Or is it oddly satisfying not to hear a studio audience laughing constantly during this interview?

[@fightermma]

That's gone now sadly as you know. Interviews are way better in this style where it isn't all comedy throughout.

[@rashb3994]

It's feels almost like an intimate interview. Arsenio lets her talk and the audience is really listening. He always seems more interested in connecting on some level with his guest and he'll be playful if the moment calls for it. Today maybe someone like Jimmy Kimmel will interrupt them to get a joke in while they're saying something interesting multiple times. So it becomes more about him, the guest is just there to springboard jokes off of.

[@PsychedelicSkull]

It's even relaxing. I'm young, but through the years I've noticed how more and more OBNOXIOUS everyone was getting on TV and I stopped watching it because it seemed so unnatural :(

I love Linda Hamilton. She was my hero after I saw T2. I used to wear my hair in that Sarah Connor ponytail and tried to dress like her! Ah memories. T2 is still one of the best movies of all time. I love Linda in all she does and fell in love with her and Michael Biehn in Terminator! They were so hot together and believable as a couple! I always hoped they’d get together in real life.

Linda Hamilton's extreme dedication to her role in the James Cameron directed Terminator films is truly incredible. Makes Emilia Clarke's reprisal of the Sarah Connor role in Genisys that Linda made iconic seem almost comical, as if you could almost hear her wince that she almost broke a fingernail after the director yelled "CUT!!"

[@wolfy9549]

10:15 exactly, everyone wondering why the terminators don’t work anymore, the truth is what Linda said, there’s nothing more to say, now obviously movies are made to make money but in the true sense all the Terminator movies that came after Judgment day were just cash grabs they didn’t have “something to say” like the first 2 hence their failure

[@tjp_real]

It's because they don't fucking have the real actors. A female and a wimp as a scary Terminator doesn't work. It's bullshit !

[@EntertheBlackDragon]

Movies like the first 2 terminators remind me that actors that play characters do intense training she preparation just for a film. 1 film. These are real actors that prepare themselves so that when we watch the movies we can really see how it comes together real well. I miss movies like this. It should be in a filmography hall of fame!

I can still watch The Terminator & Terminator 2 Judgement Day and its still good. Even the opening shot.

[@Whoknowsuknow]

Maybe if she wasn't typecast, she could've done more action movies in the 90s, either as a sidekick or in the main role. She was totally believable, and brought some femininity to the genre while still being tough.

[@C.D.J.Burton]

Linda Hamilton was beyond incredible in this film. Juxtaposed with Sarah in the first movie, how did she not get an award for her role? Maybe she did though I've been looking. Her male-beating female character was probably the only one I've ever seen which didn't require any further imagination, totally compelling. It just goes to show that having a slim build woman kicking guys arses is possible, you just have to live and breathe that shit like she did. Would have loved to see her development behind the scenes too. Great work!

[@laurencebennett1347]

It's funny how the "Woke" generation just drop sharply have (unaware/ignorant), forgotten that Linda Hamilton, Sigourney Weaver, Carrie Fisher (RIP), and Linda Carter paved the way for the liked of Brie Larson and Daisey Ridley. And what a waste.

[@snozzlehead92]

Brie Larson and Daisey Ridley can't hold a candle to the aforementioned. The former have something the latter lack: character development and heart.

[@FA_2_Pilot]

Her and Jolie’s Lara Croft were my on-screen heros growing up.

[@nictheartist]

Linda's Sarah Connor is more badass, I think, because she gets hurt and looks grubby, whereas Angelina's Lara tends to look like she's just stepped out of a salon, which is obviously because of the type of video game universe she is in. Modern Lara is more realistic, also as far as the body type is concerned. Linda's Sarah was gritty for the time, and her strong body looked more convincing for someone who's a fighter.
