Playing the T-1000 was Robert Patrick's break out role. He actually reprised his role as the Terminator with really hilarious cameos in both Wayne's World (1992) and The Last Action Hero (1993). A really underrated actor IMO...

[@OneVoiceMore]

I met him at several comicons during his Mario stint. He's not a tall guy, at ALL. 5'5" maybe.

[@scottknode898]

Robert Patrick got the role of T1000 after he appeared in Die Hard 2 in 1990 a year before Terminator 2 was released where he played a terrorist although brief role was the one who said the line “A sitting duck” to the Swat team leader before shooting him dead and was killed off by Bruce Willis’s character John McClane. James Cameron had watched Die Hard 2 and picked Patrick as a candidate for the role and landed it after his audition.

@@rinkuhero Yup, that was just Robert Patrick being method.

[@Wagoo]

@@rinkuhero the T-1000 walking through the bars was definitely CGI. They shot two scenes, one with the bars there, one without. Then replaced the footage of the T-1000 with a CGI model. They had 3D LASER scans of Robert Patrick done at a company called Cyberware, which they then used to help them create 3D models of the T-1000 on Silicon Graphics machines (they also used Cyberware scans to create the practical models of Sarah for the playground nuke scene). They had the CGI model deform like liquid where it intersected with the position of the bars.

[@delphipriestess9968]

Arnold knew the "Come with me if you want to live" line because at the end of Terminator 1, remember Sarah was making those tapes for John, telling him about his father. We can assume she eventually told him about how Reese said "Come with me if you want to live" when she first met him. So John from the future told Arnold to say that to Sarah so she would understand he was there to help

[@002DrEvil]

I've seen this film probably about a dozen times and never noticed that. It's such a subtle detail.

[@StevesFunhouse]

Sorry, but that sounds like speculation ... and a real stretch. I think they just wanted to have a few callbacks to the 1st movie, thinking that the audience would appreciate it, which we did. If they had wanted to make that a real thing, I'm pretty sure they would make it a LOT more obvious. However, if I'm wrong, please tell me where I can go to see/read about that information, because it would be a nice find.

[@sexistatheist6464]

@@StevesFunhouse I don't think there's direct proof that John told the reprogrammed T-800 to say that, but it's not really a stretch. In the first film, Kyle told Sarah that John made him memorise specific things to say to her (like "there's no fate but what we make for ourselves"), so it makes sense that he'd also feed specific lines to the T-800 in order to help her realise that it wasn't her enemy. Also, the younger John was present when the T-800 said "come with me if you want to live" to Sarah, so it makes sense that the older John would remember that, and program the T-800 to say that line so that history would repeat itself.

[@StevesFunhouse]

@@sexistatheist6464 I can see your point, and yes, John DID know to tell her certain lines, and Kyle told her about a couple that he said. However, I don't think John told Kyle to tell her the line, "Come with me if you want to live" line. If he had, then Kyle would've told her in the 1st movie that it was a message from his father as well ... maybe not immediately, because that would seem weird at the time, but eventually, after he started explaining things to her, like when he told her about the "no fate but what you make" line. I mean, when he told her that last line, he spelled it out that it came from John, but he never mentioned the "come with me ..." line. I think that is because, it was just 1 line in a bunch, and he (John) needed her to focus on the really important ones ... the ones that needed to be repeated to John and/or the ones that would get her out of trouble. In both cases, the "come with me" line occurred AFTER she had been engaged with the Terminator (the T-101 or T-800), so they wouldn't have done her any good because she couldn't know about them until too late.

[@sporadicamnesic]

Fun fact: 2 sets of identical twins were used in this film. Linda Hamilton's twin sister was used in the scene where they take the chip out of Arnie's head and switch it to learn mode, she plays Sarah's "reflection" in the mirror, which was actually just a mirror frame with Arnie facing the camera and Linda acting with a dummy of Arnold. The other twin was the security guard in the Psychiatric hospital when the T-1000 comes up from the floor and morphs into him before stabbing him through the eye

The strong "girl" sequel and what a lot of people consider the only real sequel to Terminator 2 is the 2008 series, Terminator The Sarah Connor Chronicles! It even has Summer Glau from Firefly, a series that she is watching right now. I just did a rewatch and I'm amazed at how good it is. It aired back-to-back with Wedon's Dollhouse on for for a while so it got the usual treatment.

@@LaBlueStateGirl I will always hold the video game Terminator Resistance as the 3rd film (In a way) but SCC is also a good one, love Shirley Manson from Garbage as a T-1000 who has grown and kind of adapted to being human, she really captured the Robert Patrick "Human, but off" vibes and even when going against what she is, somehow is still machine like.

[@jasongoodacre]

This movie set the new standard for Special Effects. And James Cameron has been pushing the boundaries of what's possible ever since.

[@cmorrow74]

Fun fact: the guard scene at the vending machine was actually played by twins, Don and Dan Stanton, who also appeared with Robin Williams in Good Morning Vietnam. Also, the scene with Dyson reveals the Skynet Paradox: Skynet was reverse engineered from its own technology. That’s the main reason I consider T2 to be the definitive conclusion to the saga. Everything after that is just padding.

Hey Dawn, one of the amazing juxtapositions that happen when Sarah tries to kill Miles Dyson. -------- The fact that to fight the Terminator she's becoming more like the Terminator in her mannerisms. -------- It's only when face to face with the results of what she's about to do that she becomes human again and stood herself from killing him. ------- Three deep moral conundrums is what makes T2 such a compelling movie to stand the test of time.

[@Dave3Dguy]

And they even play the Terminator's theme song when she's marching into the Dysons' house. Can't be a more direct hint than that.

[@choppergunner8650]

Arnie (T-800) explains that the T-1000 cannot turn into complex machinery (i.e. aircraft, tanks, guns), because those require stuff other than metal to work (gunpowder, fuel, explosives). However, his ability to make stabbing weapons out of his body is good for sneaking around and killing targets silently. One thing that was mentioned in a video is how he always seems to lose the gun he was previously carrying. When you mentioned "oh, he can change into someone with a badge and accessories, but not the gun", it's because he's only giving off the impression of a clothed man. The "clothes" are actually made out of metal, the same as his body. So the badge, clothes, belt, shoes, accessories, they're all metal imitations made by the T-1000. And about the gun, either he hides it somewhere, changes into another form and conceals the gun back again, or he ditches the gun entirely. See how many times he grabs a different gun. From the officer at the start, to the guard, to the helicopter pilot, etc. One last thing: there are several versions of this movie with deleted scenes. The complete version shows that after the T-1000 got frozen, even though he formed himself back into his normal human shape, the cold temperatures actually damaged his ability of turning into stuff. He starts having glitches, like touching objects and getting stuck, or mismatched body parts (the top half of the normal police officer uniform with the lower half of the motorbike uniform, or when he touches metal grates and poles and starts taking their shape). The reason why John jumped out of the way for Sarah to shoot the T-1000, was because he saw the machine's feet glitched into the grates.

[@bigdream_dreambig]

21:00 "You need to find a 'Mount Doom' to throw him into." Good reference -- and excellent insight! 🌋

[@canman87]

One thing that is really cool in this movie (among MANY things that are very cool) is that there are two sets of twins used to represent the T-1000's copying of both Sarah Conner (also during the nuclear blast nightmare sequence) and the security guard at the Pescadero facility. I'd wager that most people initially thought this was a film/editing technique, but the reality of it was much more simple!

[@Cenindo]

I believe James Cameron, the sly fox, set himself the ambitious goal, "Can I make the audience cry when a Terminator dies?" It is so totally unexpected compared to what you would expect after the first movie. The entire story is built around that twist.

Brilliant reaction. Most people knew Arnie was the good guy (including me) because it was revealed in the marketing for the film. Just one correction, the T1000 didnt melt into the floor, he spread himself very thinly over the top of it. So when the guard walked over him, he could mimic his form by touch. Robert Patrick who plays the T1000 is incredible in this film, one of the greatest bad guys ever. The CGI used to create the effects on his character revolutionised digital effects in films. This classic is 32 years old and it STILL beats anything today. A legendary masterpiece.

Robert Patrick is truly amazing in this and as mentioned it is an oldy film, and it STILL holds so well it outrivals most things these days.

10:42 Funny thing is, in the 1980s Robert Patrick was part time acting, and part time competing in marathons and track and field. He could run **insanely** fast, and for the first couple of takes was actually catching up to the bike/stunt rig within the first few seconds of action being called. For these shots, he was running at about 60 to 70% of his max speed. The only time in the movie he actually does sprint at full speed is during the escape from the mental institution, when he comes out of the elevator and is sprinting after the car (20:42) and you can tell because the cameraman started off with him in the left side of the shot, which is where he was supposed to be, but by the end, after literally four sprinted steps he was middle of the shot. That shot was actually cut short because he kept speeding up and the cameraman had to pan to keep him in shot and it looked weird.

I was at Edwards Air Force Base when they filmed this. (The final scene of The Terminator was there, and some of the scenes of T2 were there.) I thought before the movie came out that trying to do a sequel to The Terminator was a terrible idea. But James Cameron proved me very wrong. T2 was exceptionally well-made, and great fun. Your reaction was also another enjoyable watch, Dawn. As Nicolas Cage once said, "You're dangerously cute."

[@WhiteWolfDarkpaw]

"Oh he's fast. Oh he's super fast!" During filming, Robert Patrick (the T-1000) actually ran fast enough to catch up to John on the bike. He also trained himself to fire a handgun without blinking, further increasing the unsettling "robotic nature" of the T-1000. "Skills. More skills." That was a custom made sawed off for the show, and Arnold was actually handed the wrong one for that scene on one shot, resulting in him almost breaking his hand from attempting that reload.

Again, thanks for sharing, Dawn Marie.

As a matter of fact, in the first movie Arnie was offered the role of the good guy, Reese, but he said instead: "Ok, I'm playing the robot part" (and he nailed it!)

[@robmarsh918]

Jesus. If Arnold was gonna be Reese, who the heck would they have gotten to play the Terminator?!

[@AXSLA3]

As a matter of fact the original idea was to make the Terminator more inconspicuous, if you remember the thin cop (Bishop in Aliens 2) that was going to be originally the Terminator, but Arnie saw the potential of the rrobot since 1984 (by the way all this information is taken from the making of Terminator in the extra DVD included in the original film).@@robmarsh918

[@kenpullig1652]

Your skills at figuring out plot points is improving. Also, love the Mt. Doom reference. Really putting together a significant film skill set. This was one of many great action films during the release period and helped put Arnold on a whole new trajectory with his performance. Keep deep diving the fun action films of the 80s and 90s. They can be a lot of fun to watch with a good crowd of friends.

Uncle Bob's death still rips my heart out even at 38. When I showed this classic to my daughter I warned her that at the end shew can ball her eyes out, because her dad is sure as hell gonna cry.

[@redjones8010]

This was a phenomenal film. I still remember the excitement when it came out. Robert Patrick's T-1000 was the highlight for me. The times I wanted him to get Connor junior.

This was the last movie i saw at out Drive In Theater before it closed down for good. You got the movie's sound by tuning into a specific radio station and it played through your car speakers. My Mother, Father, Sister, and I all crammed into our minivan and it was a movie experience ill never forget. I cried my eyes out at the end 👍

[@dudlife2892]

Must be feeling overly sentimental today because seeing how much you loved this movie got me all choked up; a truly great reaction, thank you!

[@buckit099]

Born 1981. As a boy I took a stick from my Dad's wood pile and drew a shotgun on it and would do the flipping with it playing "Army Guys". It was a great film then, and a great film now.

[@leslieturner8276]

Dawn a great reaction as always. Remind me to never get on your bad side, after what punishments you suggested to characters you didn't like in this film! 😀

[@speleokeir]

Don't make her angry. You wouldn't like her when she's angry. Or any scot for that matter!🤣🤣🤣 John Smeaton, a baggage handler at Glasgow is a good example. If you've not heard of him, here's how he reacted to a couple of terrorists at Glasgow airport. Terrorist attacks aren't normally something I'd laugh at, but John's reaction is hilarious. 🤣🤣🤣 kzbin.info/www/bejne/oabJopevfZmlaMU

Within a matter of seconds Dawn goes from "I love Dunkin Donuts" to "Here comes the naked mannies!"

[@lethaldose2000]

Hey Dawn. The twin security officers are also in another classic flick. It's a comedy called, " Good Morning Vietnam". You have to check it out. It's right up your alley.

[@PriceFamPrime]

They're also in Gremlins 2

[@DawnMarieX]

I’ll add it to the list thank you! 😊

[@ItsMe-cz1pi]

Definitely "Good morning Vietnam." A must see for sure

[@phila3884]

Yes. "Good Morning, Vietnam" was a very popular movie in its day. Dawn, you'll be one of the first to react- it's got a human side which you will like and it will add to the Vietnam story for you audience.The ultimate though is "Platoon"- not a happy movie, but epic, Academy-Award winning movie-making. so just be ready for a devastating experience.

[@epa316]

I remember even before the internet was a widespread thing, there were spoilers. I think over half the people walking into the theater in 1991 already knew Arnold was the good guy in this one. I wish it had been more of a surprise.

[@JohnnyUtah15]

At 16:32 you say, “imagine seeing yourself.” These guys are twins, and they were both in Gremlins 2. There’s a pretty funny act they do in it. Gotta watch the first Gremlins movie beforehand.

[@ShuffleUpandDeal32]

He actually ran that fast, he went so far as to train so he wouldn't be huffing and puffing like a human would be when running.

[@mikearroyo3961]

The gun has gunpowder (chemicals) and mechanical moving parts, not a solid piece required for it to shape into. The robot is most likely made from nanotechnology for it to be able to change like that. " It's a boy movie" that had me on the floor.

[@CruelestChris]

Naw, it's not nanotech, they say it's an exotic alloy that's presumably shape memory alloy taken up to 11.

[@Muck006]

This was a milestone in CGI technology, because calculating all the shiny and REFLECTIVE SURFACE took a lot of computing power and it was something never before done on this level of complexity. The "reflective technology" was used in the 1986 movie "Flight of the Navigator" for a pretty complex object, but it was a fixed shape compared to the morphing T-1000.

[@BintyMcFrazzles]

Great film! My favourite Arnie film, in fact. The special effects are outstanding, especially considering this film is over 30 years old. The CGI combined with the practical effects make it very real. Great reaction.

[@Tdub0911]

I can't believe after that whole think you covered your eyes and missed the thumbs up scene. This was peak Arnold.

[@Flastew]

I also think this one is better than the first, which is so rare. The rest of the series is kinda weird. Great reaction Lady Dawn. If you get a chance watch the extended version, there are some things that really add to it like the ending.

[@Grizzlox]

When this movie first came out and the T-1000 started morphing and shapeshifting, the whole theater yelled, "Woah!!!!" Our jaws were on the floor... no movie had anything even close to these vfx before

[@Zeltan88]

I have watched the movie dozens of times over the last 30 years and it still is fascinating and just awsome. What I find very interesting ever since is, that you can tell through the music pretty fast, that the T-1000 is the bad guy in this movie. Because in the scene of the future war, they use a soundtrack that equals the one when the T-1000 arrives in the present.

[@Lazarus_ReSpawn]

15:48 Linda actually LEARNED how to pick a lock with a pin for that scene.

[@johnhakansson1832]

This was great :) Another very good movie with Arnold is “True Lies”, I hope you react to that one soon. Jamie Lee Curtis is very good in that too, and Bill Paxton also (he was in the opening scene of the first Terminator movie)

[@PGHEngineer]

I saw this at the cinema. When Robert Patrick wags his finger at Sarah Connor near the end of the movie the whole audience took it as a poke at them for anticipating his end too early and went "Awwwwwww". We had to wait just a bit longer.

[@Razzerian]

The ending gets me every time, without fail. It’s both the best and saddest ending to a movie, ever.

[@rbrtck]

Arnold carrying a gun in a box of roses is a sly reference to the rock band Guns N' Roses, who wrote one of the songs used in this movie. The band were extremely popular at that time, and this reference was a way to give them an extra thanks for helping to promote the movie in the music video for this song.

[@KreshDraven6]

Love your reactions 😁 Still the greatest action film of all time and easily one of the best sequels ever made. Nowadays may it not seems but the special effects and all the liquid metal stuff was absolutely mind-blowing and game changing back then, James Cameron ahead of his time as usual

[@tyrone7635]

As a kid watching this in the theater for the first time I knew Arnie was the good guy which made me living through John Connor being a kid relatable and why we love this awesome big machine man

[@calemobrien1139]

Not much to say that it's the greatest action movie ever made! It's flawless & I love it so much!!!!! One of the few movies i have a hard time finishing because of that ending...destroys me every freaking time🥺🥺🥺 Also I hope you go back a watch the end because you missed him giving John the thumbs up saying that it was ok...👍👍👍

[@jxg5448]

17:08 "Cut his tongue off...and make him eat it." I could definitely part with this girl!

[@navagate1900]

I knew you would like this one. Great job on the reaction and comments.

[@DawnMarieX]

I LOVED it!! 😅

[@jerrywalters8885]

Cool fact the gaurd at the coffee machine and Sarah at the end had help from their twin siblings. The guards are in several movies in the 90s together while Sarah's is only in a couple

[@mijmijrm]

hmmm ... it's interesting that our Dawn thinks it would be really useful to know how to break out of a strait-jacket using only a paper clip. (To be honest, i think that's something i should be learning too.)

[@DawnMarieX]

Maybe there’s a KZbin tutorial 🤔

[@martyemmons3100]

"Terminator 2: Judgement Day" is a great movie. Listening to your comments as you watch the movie is so entertaining, Dawn Marie. When Sarah Connor was escaping from the psychiatric prison you told Sarah to cut off the fat guy's tongue and make him eat it. When you were devastated by the sad ending and had to process your robot dad's 'death'. James Cameron is extremely skilled evoking emotions with his films. His "The Abyss" is a perfect example. What was really enjoying was how you couldn't accept the sad (robot dad's 'death') ending. It made so much sense when you blamed the boys for making the sad ending, Dawn Marie. Explaining that girls like happy endings. A girl director would have had everyone; Sarah, John and your robot dad, living happily ever after. Remember Dawn Marie, if you want your eyes to leak water then watch "The Abyss" (1989). Thank you so much Dawn Marie for making such a delightful reaction video.

[@LMoftheCoast]

This is an absolutely fantastic reaction to such a fantastic film. I enjoyed every minute. Thank you Dawn. I knew it was going to be good after your reaction to the first one, but this just blew me away. Keep your reactions coming. Can’t wait for the next. :)

[@Paul-br]

You're the only reactor that got instantly that they just used the same "skin" or model of terminator. They are machines that come off an assembly line... I don't know why most other reactors are confused for the entire movie not understanding how Arnold is back. Good reaction!

[@lethaldose2000]

Dawn!! We are running for our lives here trying to evade the T-1000 and you are off to the side, living your best life watching the T-1000 unleash all of his fatal morphing tricks, regenerative fixes and overall nightmarish pursuit of John Connor. ------- Who's side are you on girl?

[@melody9241]

You'll notice when the T-1000 does get back together he starts to malfunction, his hand on the Bannister changes and his feet too. It got malfunctioned from the liquid nitrogen and then hitting the heat getting back together caused him to malfunction like that and that's why when you see Sarah at the end and her Identical twin come in as T-1000 John sees them both until he noticed the feet were malfunctioned.
