It is quite a rare thing to come across a reactor who understands all the nuances. And I only know of 3 others like you. Youre really great at this.

[@gordon020958]

You should watch the directors cut which has a slightly different ending.

[@ddotcdot6892]

@callmeclariss - Some cool facts: Nightmare Scene: - LA Buildings for the nuclear nightmare were constructed out of giant gram crackers, which they found to look realistic when blown apart with a massive compressed air system at a much faster film frame rate, then played back at 24 frames. Twins: - Linda Hamilton had a twin sister named Leslie who appears in this film in one deleted scene (the chip removal mirror sequence) and again at the ending as background Sarah, while Linda plays T-1000 as Sarah in the foreground. Leslie is only used in the background as Sarah when Linda plays Sarah in the foreground as it was much less costly back then in 1991 and more realistic looking to cast twins in this scenario, than to try and duplicate and optically composite two performances from the same actor into the same shot. Another set of twins were used in the movie as Lewis the Hospital Guard - Don and Dan Stanton, the "Stanton Brothers". Don plays poor Lewis, the human version/the victim, and Dan plays evil T-1000 version of Lewis who stabs him in the eye, after appearing out of a liquid mass copy of the checkered tile floor. Less CGI than people think: - if I remember correctly, there's only something like 42 CGI shots of the T-1000 character in the entire film, most of them brief moments, whereas there's something like a few hundred+ live practical visual effects for the liquid metal moments, despite people remembering this movie as having one of the first major CGI characters. It's really a much heavier practical effects character (and movie) in reality. The trick is in changing the techniques where needed for a seamless blend, something filmmakers today do not understand how to do. Hearing Loss: - Linda Hamilton suffered permanent hearing loss in one of her ears during the elevator scene when Arnold let off a shotgun blast. She had taken a bathroom break and forgot to put her ear protection back in before the next take. VFX: - This is one of the last major movies (like Titanic) to use a wide range of visual effects techniques, (some of which are retired now) including: Rear-Projection, Blue Screen, Forced-Perspective Framing, Live-Miniature Practical Effects, Stop-Motion Animation (background terminators in opening Future sequence), Tracked Matte-Paintings, Optical Compositing, Puppetry, Live Squibs, Computer Generated Imagery, and so much more... Billy Idol, the singer, was supposed to play the T-1000 + Eddy as John: The only Reason Robert Patrick got the role of T-1000 (thank God), which was originally written for and offered to Billy Idol, by Cameron, is because months before Production was to begin, Idol suffered a major motorcycle accident that shattered his legs and made him unable to pull off the rigorous training and physicality needed for the T-1000 role. Thus, a casting session for the part was held and Robert won the part after impressing the late, great, Casting Director: Mali Finn, who also discovered Edward Furlong at a playground, randomly one day, and offered him a chance to read for the role of John. Furlong had never had a role and was not an actor prior to Finn discovering him. Crazy to think they trusted a title role in the hands of a kid who wasn't even in the business lol. And, I'm sorry for Idol's unfortunate accident, but fate definitely had a hand in making sure the world got Robert Patrick who made this film as great as it always will be. Sarah being Crazy: Linda Hamilton said she would only return to play Sarah again here if she was crazy. She got her request. Many of the stunts and all of the helicopter flying: were done for real in-camera, without digital or optical assistance. Real stunt men and women. Real risk. The helicopter breakup/explosion: Co-Producer Stephanie Austin explains that it cost them over a million dollars and three helicopters to get the perfect take you see in the film. There first two choppers did not break apart right. It was dumb luck the third one did exactly what they wanted. It could have taken another 10 million dollars and another 30 choppers. ...Of the $102 million spent on the film, half of that went to the cost of just the stunts and visual effects work. Arnold's Salary & Related: Arnold received $15 million for T2 vs $75,000 for his performance in T1. Additionally, his private trailer for T2 cost as much or more than the entire first Terminator film was made for: approx $6-6.5 Million. LOL Rodney Kind incident: Rodney King's infamous encounter with LAPD took place a few blocks from the Corral Bar location and happened on the same night the opening bar scene wash shot, just moments after the production took place. AUSTIN: The T-1000's Police Uniform Name reads: Austin (or Officer Austin). This is a salute to Co-Producer Stephanie Austin. T-1000 Liquid Sounds: Sound Designer - Gary Rydstrom created the T-1000 liquid sounds by placing a Condom over a microphone and dipping it in oatmeal. LOL I'll add more if I think and remember more later. I'm spent. Hope this was fun.😎

Thanks Clariss, I'm glad to have watched your reactions video, of that terminator 2 judgement day, which is the 1991 films movie. For the first time watching with you. And I'm looking forward to see more about your good reactions videos. And I'm glad to see that so thank you so much for that Clariss I really appreciate that too.

[@tarzapopohead]

The stuntman who flew the helicopter under the bridge at the end said it was the most terrifying stunt he ever did and made the studio get him life insurance for his family to be taken care of. Also it was done in one take.

[@Otokichi786]

In 1973, this TV movie(!) did stuff: kzbin.info/www/bejne/roq0oIaifamBapo I can say that I've been watching "Birds of Prey" since 1973. ("Harley Qiuinn"? Who's that.;)

[@ResidentPetrolhead]

And when the camera operators quite reasonably objected to the danger of flying shotgun in the helicopter during the filming of the chase, James Cameron wound up operating himself...something he also did during the scene where a helicopter flies over a limo in TRUE LIES.

[@jamesfrench7299]

Have to respect that of the man. Not many bosses do that.

[@DocuzanQuitomos]

Not exactly: it had to be shot twice because (since the camera crew bit is true, Cameron decided he'd shot the scene himself just with the help of a volunteer driver) he needed two shots: one from the front, and one from the back. But, while it took two takes, each take was perfect in just one go. And, while the stunt was very dangerous, several precautions were taken before to be as precise as possible: the stunt pilot and the film crew put first the helicopter on wheels to measure the clearance they could have in the underpass (not a lot: five feet or less in each direction) and then they calculated what was the minimum speed they would need to make it to the other side (flying too slow in the underpass would make the helicopter stop flying the very second it gets inside; the stunt was performed at 70 mph or 111 km/h). And you can see the stunt pilot in the film; apparently, Charles Tamburro is the helicopter pilot during all the Cyberdine systems sequence (including the "get out" scene). Tamburro, a Vietnam veteran stunt pilot, has done several other films and crazy stunts since then. Source: filmschoolrejects.com/terminator-2-helicopter-stunt/

[@peterlenham3180]

They actually had to do it twice! Once for the shot of behind the helicopter, then for the shot in front. To get those two shots it had to be filmed twice, because if it had been filmed from both sides at the same time, the camera crew would have been seen!

[@samuraiwarriorsunite]

Joe Morton (Miles Dyson) really nailed the role. I love how Cameron abandoned the scientist who'll do anything to protect his work trope in favor of humanity over invention. The rapid breathing scene was suggested to Cameron by Morton himself. He had been in a car accident and it left him with a collapsed lung, he showed Cameron how difficult it was to breathe and he decided to use it. It's just one of many iconic scenes in the film.

[@Maxmellow94]

The helicopter pilot that the t-1000 tells to "get out" is actually the stunt pilot that preformed the under the bridge stunt.

[@peterlenham3180]

This masterpiece was the most expensive film ever made back in 1991. It cost 100 million dollars to make. The T1000 CGI effects changed the effects industry, and modern CGI effects work like even Cameron's Avatar films, is thanks to the effects pioneered in Terminator 2. This classic is now over 31 years old, and it not only stands up, but it's STILL better than anything today. Robert Patrick who plays the T1000 is one of the greatest villains ever, along with Arnie from the original. Great reaction to a legendary movie.

[@BullseyeForever24]

Went to the theater to see this in 1991 it was so great 🎉

[@theshakyproject2971]

FYI: The SWAT member who finds Dyson and orders everyone to get out is Dean Norris, AKA Hank from Breaking Bad. :)

[@RegularGamer392]

The scene where Arnie steps out of the elevator has to be my favorite in the film, previously we saw Sarah doing exercises planning to leave then during her breakout she's beating the gaurds down ducking and dodging but the second he steps out she freeze's and drops to the floor, even when captured by gaurds he is the only thing she's worried about it perfectly captures how much trauma and PTSD the original gave her

[@DaveMcIroy]

Shell shock

[@TheArtalex]

That is an amazing Scene!

[@LukeLovesRose]

Poor Sarah couldve easily peed herself out of fear in that moment. But you've gotta hand it to her. She figures things out fast. As soon as she sees John alive and well, Sarah goes from hating and fearing the T-800 to following him.

Joe Morton deserved a best supporting nom for playing Miles bennett Dyson. Unforgettable performance.

[@wackyvorlon]

His death scene was fantastically well done.

[@thejamppa]

People don't really appreciate him nearly as much he would deserve. Joe Morton has been around decades doing great performances. He can act and he can sing. Just watch Blues Brothers 2000. I mean he was offered career as singer after that but he would rather be just an actor. This man is absolutely talented and doesn't have nearly much recognition as he should.

[@Humstuck]

That last line is absolutely brutal for me every single time. We hurt each other so much and I hope some day we will finally reach a level where we can confidently say we learned.

[@LukeLovesRose]

How about the most pivotal thumbs up in movie history?? It gets me every time

[@realravenrain]

Linda Hamilton learned how to pick locks for the film. That's why the scene is so realistic. That leads me to the question, how do you know so much about lockpicking?

[@tehdipstick]

My favorite bit of T2 movie trivia is the fact that Robert Patrick did his best to breathe and blink as little as possible while they were shooting, to really sell the fact that even tohugh the T-1000 is much more advanced, and more capable of passing off as a human, it still has a machine-like quality to it. I also agree that the physique of the two different Terminators say a lot about them. The T-1000 is slimmer, leaner, sleeker and faster. Exactly what you'd expect from an 'upgrade'.

[@kinagrill]

There's also the fact it's a sadistic horror-thing that even Skynet feared enough to seal up into a box with a big 'nope' sign on it and wished it HADN'T developed the T-1000.

[@Cousin_Uli]

Joe Morton is an absolute standout in this movie. Dyson isn't there for long, but Morton makes that guy seem almost uncomfortably real. Dude goes from an exhausted dad, to shaking mortal panic, to crushing realization, to all in on their plan to save the world, and that finale for his character is heart wrenching and incredibly heroic. Always stuck with me, ever since i was a kid seeing this for the first time.

[@MrCOLBSTAH]

It might seem weird but the actor that played Miles gave what I thought to be one of the most convincing death scenes I've ever seen in cinema. What an absolute talent.

[@thejamppa]

Only thing than watching Clariss reacting finally T2, is seeing her getting fully immersed and turning fan girl, yet pointing out lock picks and such. Thank you so much, Clariss!

[@ariesjay8176]

Glad that you watched this finally. One of the greatest movies of all time. I also loved how you got so happy over her picking the lock and saying that is how it is supposed to be done. Makes me wonder how many locks you've picked lol

[@padmelotus]

What I find really fascinating is that, even though the cgi tech to produce these images is now commonplace, the creativity beyond its use in T2 still wows; not because we are any longer so impressed by the cgi, but because it just looks so good. The little details such as the t-1000 walking through the gate, and then it's gun getting stuck, are just chief's kiss. It's fascinating to consider that much of the tech used to create these effects was designed specifically for this movie, or for earlier Cameron movies, such as The Abyss. You use the description, morphing so easily, but it's easy to forget that digital morphing had only been used for about 5 years before the release of T2; eg, in Flight of the Navigator (1986), and The Abyss (1989). It was all so new. So, a lot if the buzz at the time was that it was so new to us. Also, a lot of the pretty new cgi was stuff that you can't see, but which is no ubiquitous in movies, was the digital removal of things like wires. Eg, when Arnie drives his bike from off the overpass, it's a real stunt, the the wires are painted out. Also, one thing that makes these effects st ill look so great - other than the creativity, vision, and art direction - is that it was actually a mixture of CGI and practical effects; just like the original Jurassic Park.

[@marilynn7799]

Towards the end when the t1000 takes form of Sarah is actually Linda Hamilton's real life twin sister. Also the orderly scene where he gets poked in the eye is also done by his twin brother.

[@k1hasard]

Back when I saw this in a theater, they didn't make you leave when the movie was over. I used to watch good movies a second time, and also watch people watch it for the first time. There was cheering, crying, people jumping out of their seats in applause at the great parts, and of course laughter. I'm 40something years older than you, so I saw a lot of these movies when they first came out. Happy New Year, and best of luck with your channel.

[@southlondon86]

Sir was the whole cinema quiet during the CGI shots?

[@jennifercarter2060]

The scenes where the T1000 takes the forms of the hospital security guard and Sarah Conor where actual performed with those actors twin siblings. So that is Linda with her twin sister (who unfortunately has passed away).

[@i80gypsy]

That sound effect when the biker flew through the window had me seriously cry laughing for 10 minutes.

[@timothyrenar5498]

Th original ending was going to be a happy ever after ending where Sarah is in her older years and it's a beautiful day but this ending is more realistic so I agree with James approach here. The other ending is on the special edition with all of the extras included and there is also a clip of Reese with Sarah as well.

[@rodentnolastname6612]

One of my favorite little subtle things; while the T-1000 is flying the helicopter, it reloads a gun. If you look close, 1 hand is holding the gun, a second hand is loading the clip, and a THIRD HAND is holding the control stick of the helicopter 😲😲😲

Clariss, I particularly enjoyed your transformation from analytical to absorbed/invested as the film progressed.

[@chrisdavis408]

In the dream scene before Sarah goes after miles. The Sarah on the playground was actually her Sister. It was easier to just cast her with no script to read , and save time filming . Pretty smart decision in my opinion.

[@LCliffhanger]

Fun fact about the scene where the new termi chases John while he's riding away on the bike: The actor who played the T-1000 webr through a hell of a lot of practice to be as robotic as possible, including when he runs, moving as effeciantly and robotically as possible, as a result of his practice though, hed become such a good runner that they had to re-shoot the scene multiple times because he kept catching up to the bike 😂

[@Sillydogification]

"I know now why you cry, but its something I could never do." I know the line is coming, Ive seen this movie dozens of times - that line still gets me every time. How did the get the Helicopter to fly so low? They flew a helicopter under the underpass. Its one of the greatest stunts ever shot. James Cameron didnt want to risk a film crew on it - so he operated the camera himself. This concludes the Terminator franchise - the quality of the next movies drop dramatically. IF you want more Terminator in you life, I would suggest Terminator: The Sara Conner Chronicles. One of the episodes of the TV series follows up with the Doctor (if you recall - he witnessed the terminators shoot out in the hall - and the one terminator stepping through the barred door) he becomes a true believer and is living in the mountains off grid... Great reaction! Subscribed!

[@natehaux7575]

The scenes where the T-1000 is directly mimicing someone, are all scenes with TWINS used live on camera. The two guards were both in Gremlins 2 as clones, and Linda Hamilton and her twin sister Leslie Hamilton.

[@dannyropero4216]

Cool channel, cool reaction! I remember vividly seeing this when it opened on 4th of July weekend, 1991. A few weeks before, a girl in my algebra class had just seen a little, unknown movie called Silence of the Lambs, and seen the trailer for the new Terminator movie. She told me this new terminator can turn into liquid metal. At the time, I had no idea what the heck that meant, but it sounded soooo badass!! The effects at the time were very cutting edge (still looks damn good). If I remember correctly, the original Terminator wasn't an instant blockbuster, but gained popularity over time, through VHS rentals and word of mouth. Seven years later, when this sequel finally came out...everyone was anticipating seeing it. The theaters were absolutely packed.

[@po5283]

The whole reason the effects are so good in this one, is actually due to another, but lesser known, Cameron film, The Abyss, which I would highly recommend for anyone interested in acting and or filmmaking; as well as the making of, which is just as interesting and fascinating. It's become known as one of the most infamous sets and productions, akin to Apocalypse Now etcetera!

[@marcobrinckmann1012]

I don't know how many people know this, but the actress, Jenette Goldstein, who plays John's foster mom, also played the badass marine 'Vasquez' in 'Aliens'.

[@bluelagoon1980]

She was also a poor Irish mother who died with her children in Titanic. James Cameron clearly liked working with her.

[@LordVolkov]

Cameron's super sequel formula - Bring back the heroine, add a kid, elevate the villain, go bigger. Aliens, T2, Way of Water. JC knows how to turn out a sequel that surpasses the original.

[@StreetHierarchy]

Escalation + Reversal Sequels are quite mathematical. Sequels are essentially the second half to a piece that already has two halves. This makes ending a trilogy very challenging...

[@ADifferentVibe]

Cameron says for sequels, you have to play to expectations AND against expectations. Keep the same concept but make the villain harder, change the genre and do more. Simple. T1 was a horror, love story. T2 was a family action movie.

The other scene that uses twins is where you see two the T-1000 disguised as Sarah. Linda had a Twin sister that used in the movie. Unfortunately the twin is dead now. The actress that plays the foster mom is Vasquez fr9m Aliens.

[@bigredtlc1828]

It's the rare sequel that gets the extra $ and actually is good or better than the original. James Cameron did a great job. The first one was guerilla filmmaking at its best. Cameron talked about doing street scenes without a permit - basically sneaking out to locations at night, filming, then getting the hell out of there. He talked often about "perfect is the enemy of the good", the idea that you have to just do it sometimes with what you got - don't wait until you have all the financing or the story or whatever. So much innovation in this movie with the SFX. This film was a trip to see in the theater when it came out. Enjoyed your reaction. You always have great insight into filmmaking and actor performances.

[@kylederry5031]

Linda Hamilton actually hit the orderly in the face. During the force feed the pills scene he gut punches her and he kept messing up his line and causing it to be re shot over and over, hitting her over and over.

So I remember seeing in the comments of another T2 reaction video anyway.

Perfect end to the story imo. I like how it's still one of the most realistic film depictions of lockpicking and a nuclear blast. Also, Miles Dyson for MVP.

[@hackapump]

At the time, the CGI was revolutionary. I seem to remember it was the first movie to cause a lot of buzz just because of the CGI. Of course Michael Jackson had introduced video morphing to a wider audience with his Black And White video. But this was obviously on another level. The franchise has languished since, but I think it’s not just because of poor sequels: I think the general dread of nuclear war has subsided after the end of the Cold War. And that dread is kind of the main point of these movies, the AI fear is secondary.

[@LanceJ.]

Sarah’s transformation from 1 to 2 is my favorite in movie history with Michael Corleone’s.

[@Rossaherbal]

"Hasta la vista baby" that phrase became famous for this movie

[@sexistatheist6464]

If and when you get around to rewatching this, I recommend watching the extended/special edition. The version you watched is the theatrical cut, which is the best version for a first-time watch, as it's a leaner, meaner cut that retains all the essentials. James Cameron indicated that he prefers that version in the audio commentary. But the extended version, while a bit slower-paced, has some fun extra scenes I think you'll enjoy. Some versions of the extended cut also include an alternate ending, which is actually the original ending Cameron intended to use. If you don't see it in the extended version, then I recommend looking that up separately. It answers your question about whether the events of the film changed the future.

If you plan on watching any more Terminator, I think the only thing worth watching after this is the Sarah Connor Chronicles TV series. Don't bother with the newer Terminator sequels, unless you want to be disappointed 😀 I never saw T1 or T2 in the cinemas, but I did see both on VHS when I was very young and T1 is to this day my favorite movie of all time. I definitely don't think T2 is bad, it's really awesome, but there's just something in T1 that's not been replicated to this day. So cool to see a first-timer seeing and enjoying them 🙂 And some behind the scenes stuff - that helicopter flying under a bridge shot - the cameramen didn't want to do the low down shot of following the copter, so Cameron did it himself.

[@philipped.r.6385]

I always get emotional when the Terminator says: "I know now why you cry. But it's something I can never do" because I think that it's at this exact moment that the Terminator achieves true sentience and becomes something akin to a human. But he chooses to sacrifice himself for the sake of Mankind. It's such a poweful moment of cinema!

[@redmoonbloodmoon3161]

T2 and JP1 were the biggest nationwide block buster movies back in the 90s, aside from Star Wars (and for teens, playing fighting game arcade machines at pizza restaurants, the MK1 movie, was quite the big excitement too)

[@jovanjorgovan23]

T2 was groundbreaking in terms of visuals, combining CGI with practical effects to a point you aren't quite sure which one is which. It made the best possible use of its big budget. But it also diluted the story, forgot its foundations, messed up the time travel, tweaked it to make less sense, be less brave, less scary, but more attractive to younger and more casual audience. T2 was primarily a great marketing move but not much more than a well executed summer pop corn action flick. Hardly a single aspect that can be considered 'better' compared to the original. They're not even in the same league imo. The Terminator was a masterfully written, atmospheric horror sci-fi with a lot of unpleasant concepts, even scenes, a film with masterful writing, a lot of originality, authenticity, creativity. It's a harrowing concept, and its presentation was equally brutal and uncompromising. From the tragic love story which is in its core to the lack of classic happy ending. It suffers from the fact many people, especially these days, saw T2 before The Terminator, thus not even getting deeper into it, just expecting flashy effects and mindless action - then disappointed at it not having the helicopter under the bridge, the liquid metal, the one liners and tongue in cheek humour of T2. It is vastly more sophisticated and authentic, but is admittedly, being a sci fi horror, aimed at somewhat different, even more narrow audience.

[@DocuzanQuitomos]

"Tell me it made a difference!" Well: it made a difference... in the original script XD. There are two endings for this film, the original intended ending in which we learn it made a difference (Sarah is in the park of her dreams giving some final thoughts to his tape diary and gives the speech you just heard). But studios, in all their wisdom, decided giving this "definitive" ending to the film could prevent them from capitalizing on the story more, decided to cut it and add the ending you just saw, which is the ending that was seen by people in cinemas and tv: one section of Sarah's speech with the reused footage of the road at night. In any case, for several years both endings were considered to be the definitive endings (the certainty the Judgement Day was averted, or, at least, the faith that it was and the characters owned now their own destiny). And then came the idea of adding more sequels (it's not a comment about their quality, just that after long years without anyone really asking for another film, someone just said "let's do more Terminator"; making canon that the sacrifice in this film didn't make a difference). You can find the original ending in some other streaming services (it's fun that, depending on the streaming platform one has, you get one of the different endings... it's not like you get it as a bonus feature or you get asked which one you want; they just show you the one they decided to buy XD), or here in KZbin, it's been uploaded as a stand alone clip several times. "The casting of Robert Patrick as T-1000" Not only that he looks more "streamlined" and sleek; according to different interviews, Robert Patrick trained to run as fast as he could almost "machine like": without taking deep breaths (a sign of human effort) and even without blinking for long periods of time (for the close ups). He perfected this stunt that well, that apprently during the bike scene at the mall (where he chases John on foot) he was able to catch up with the speeding bike, so they had to ask him to be "less perfect" to make credible John had a chance of escaping XD. "Behind the scenes trivia" There are lots and lots of hidden details in the scripts of both movies to fill a little dictionary (showing just how much everyone involved in the film put into the story; because some of those details went unnoticed for years). Just some quick ones: -In both Terminators the final chase features a truck with some dangerous load that gets destroyed; but, on top of that, Cameron used a scene in T1 as, kind of, a foreshawoing of T2: when Arnold goes to kill the first "wrong" Sarah Connor in T1, he crushes a blue toy truck... which looks almost exactly the same as the blue towing truck that the T1000 uses to chase John years later. -The operating scene on the brain of Arnold in this film wasn't performed using CGI, but good old fashioned camera tricks: the mirror it's just the frame, with a set of actors on both sides mimickoing the actions to look like they are reflected. And who did they cast to be Sarah Connor's body double? Well, her life body double: her twin sister Leslie Hamilton. -That's not Leslie's only scene in the film: she appears too as a nod to T1 Sarah "waitress" design in the nuke dream (she is the one with the baby in the park) and, later on, she is in the "fake Sarah" scene where the T-1000 transforms into her to trick John. For those who don't know, Leslie Hamilton sadly passed away at 63 back in 2020. -It's not the only scene made with twins: remeber the security guard impaled in the eye at Pescadero? Another set of twins. -In that scene, the guard knocks on the glass door before going for coffee; then the T1000 "guard" knocks the door again to when he gets back. Both knocks sound different to hint the density and the material of the hand has changed. -Apparently, the nuke dream has been deemed (at least for a time after the film was released) one of the most accurate depictions in cinema of how a nuclear explosion really acts and looks like. "Can a helicopter fly that low?" Yes, it can; because that's how they filmed it XD. Apparently the first idea for this chase was that it was entirely set inside a tunnel, made with miniatures, an interesting idea... but it proved unpractical at the time; so the Long Beach freeway was used instead for the general setting of the chase, and flying a helicopter under an underpass was the next best option for Cameron's vision XD. You actually know the person who pulled this dangerous stunt: Carles Tamburro is a veteran stunt pilot and Vietnam veteran who also appears in this film, he does a good job looking terrified piloting the helicopter when the T-1000 tells him to "get out". The stunt wasn't made out of nowhere, it was carefully planned: according to a later interview, first the helicopter was put on wheels to get a clear idea how much clearance it had on each side (four feet to the sides and five feet above and below) and it was performed later at a relatively slow speed (70 mp/h or 111 km/h); the stunt couldn't be done at slower speeds, because, then, the helicopter would have crashed because there is not enough air for the blades to work below the underpass (if you want the more technical definition of this, it's called "ground effect"; basically, planes flying too low can float on the "cushion" of turbulent compressed air they naturally generate, rather than crashing; allowing them to fly at slower speeds or in spaces they normally couldn't, like an underpass; but if that air isn't compressed fast enough, the plane doesn't float and simply falls from the air). How low can a helicopter fly close to the ground? Well, helicopters are designed to be very versatile, a skilled pilot can do mostly anything with them. But, if we go for the confirmed (or at least, recorded) limits of this type of aircraft... how about having the blades inches away of the ground for a mountain rescue: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3SVp2qwiLiKhNE And that would be it, what a nice reaction to end 2022 (I loved all the unfiltered emotion XD); happy holidays, best wishes for the coming year and see you in the next one.

[@damianstarks3338]

This sequel is just as iconic and classic as the first terminator movie happy to see you reacting to it.

[@ExUSSailor]

You may recognize John's foster mom as Pvt. Vasquez from "Aliens".

[@ExUSSailor]

During the dream sequences, and, in the steel mill, when the T-1000 imitates Sarah, Sarah is being played by Linda Hamilton, and, her identical twin sister, Leslie. Who, sadly, passed away in 2020.

[@seymourclarity8702]

It's likely been mentioned already, but Linda Hamilton legit learned how to pick locks for Terminator 2, a skill she still has today..

[@ricey23]

This movie is 32 years old. Its effects hold up. Cameron you genius

[@robdom91]

Anyone else thinks that's gonna be some top class steel produced in that factory. I mean sure, your toaster might unexpectedly start morphing into a breadbox and vice-versa, but it's all good.

[@LionelSondy]

I think the toasters made from that steel would have a plan of their own.

[@davidblauyoutube]

12:25 Yes! So glad you spotted this, I didn't start picking locks until years after I saw this movie.

[@chanpacchandler1367]

Fun fact: Robert Patrick was too fast during the dirt-bike chase that he had to slow down. He was catching up to the bike. He also trained his body to breath to where he still looks robotic

[@asterix7842]

Clariss, you are so beautiful and I love watching your reactions. It’s too bad you appeared to already know beforehand that Arnie played the good Terminator this time. One of the best parts of most reactions to this movie is the point in the hallway when the Terminator protects John and the reactors realize what’s happening. Now you have to watch T3. Not quite as good as this one, but still enjoyable and it completes the trilogy, plus it has one of the greatest chase scenes ever filmed. Thanks for the year of great content. I hope you have a great new year!

[@AllHailVenom]

Great video. Hope you have a happy New Year. 🎉

[@0okamino]

Guns n Roses on the soundtrack, and a gun in roses in the movie. That’s good stuff right there.

[@LionelSondy]

If you include the T-1000's pistol in the count, the scene in question has both guns and roses in plural. 🙂

[@RIP19851]

Since seeing this in theaters in 1991 I have seen it 100+ times and I was 7 years old seeing it with my dad

[@NarnianRailway]

Some details liked in the film - Sarah is shot in the opposite leg than injured in T1, Arnold's red eye is the opposite eye from T1, after Arnold reveals his endoskeleton arm to Miles it remains hidden by his jacket and glove until crushed in the machinery. ☕T2 was the downfall of the coffee vending machines and rise of the coffee cafe chains.

[@lechat8533]

Thank you for another great reaction, Clariss❤

[@MinimalAesthetics]

So glad you watched this version with the original theatrical ending - there’s an alternate ending the spells out a happy future but I like this better

[@narotic6133]

Both are classic; but ya I would say this is slightly better than the first, not only because of all these moments everyone knows of but Arnold not only continues to do the bad ass stuff but also some cool moments of him bonding with the kids and the special effects still hold up to me 30 years later

[@mrtveye6682]

I still like the first one a slightly more (same with Alien/Aliens) for the more grittier (due to the low budget) feel of it and it been the original story. But that's completely a matter of taste. Both T2 and Aliens are no doubt amongst the best sequels ever made (together with Lethal Weapon 2, wich IMO even tops the 1st one), and amongst the best blockbuster action movies ever made.

[@lewisner]

The original was groundbreaking for the plot and the darkness of the action. This movie cemented Arnolds position as the top grossing movie star and introduced the world to CGI effects. They are equal but different.

[@mrtveye6682]

@@lewisner Right. CGI has been used before, but T2 and Jurassic Park have been the two movies that put CGI on the map big time as "serious", realistic, jaw-dropping FX.

[@lewisner]

@Mr TV Eye the only previous use of CGI to T2 was Cameron's "The Abyss". Tron used CGI but as I know it wasn't the same as the CGI we use now. BTW I also saw Tron when it was released.

[@mrtveye6682]

@@lewisner Well, Abyss was not the only one, though the water animation was clearly the predecessor to the T1000 liquid effects. There has been other stuff too. Think of the "woman head bomb" Arnold uses on the Mars-airport scene and the "x-ray security check" in Total Recall. There has also been CGI for some scifi stuff during the 80s (CGI spaceships etc.). But as I said, nothing near to the extend and quality as in T2 and Jurassic Park. And yes, Tron was a strange movie, probably the first with extensive CGI use, but IMO the big difference was, it was supposed to look artificial/futuristic instead of photo-realistic, as it takes place inside of a computer reality.

[@MadcapMatt]

The crazy thing about the helicopter part they did it twice to film both angles. The reason they had to do it twice is the camera crew didn't think the pilot would be able to do it and didn't want to film his death. James Cameron did it himself both times. He also filmed the semi truck jumping down scene because he didn't want to risk the lives of his camera crew.

[@Otokichi786]

😎👍 You really can't beat an Arnold Schwarzenegger action movie when it comes to just plain old goofy popcorn entertainment. Now that you've seen "Predator" and the two "Terminator" films, the next logical one to watch would probably be "Commando" (1985). The plot is as simple as it gets. A bunch of bad guys kidnap his daughter (played by 12-year-old Alyssa Milano), and he spends the next hour and a half rescuing her while cracking wise. Lots of gunplay, explosions, hand-to-hand whoop-ass, and some spectacularly staged stunts.

Thanks for the wonderful reaction to this classic film. I never get tired of watching people share their first time with us. As you go through and study the film, I respectfully suggest you check out the extended edition. Additional scenes and an alternate ending. Some people love it, some people hate it. Oh and I encourage you to check out the original Teaser trailer. Soooo epic! No spoilers at all. It just builds anticipation for the movie itself.
