I was a little kid when my parents took me and my younger sister to see this in theaters summer of 91 and, my child mind was blown. Not only is there the right amount of fake prosthetic Arnie heads, an obsession kicked off in the original Terminator movie, but we also got a fair amount of Robert Patrick prosthetic fake heads, and some Linda Hamilton fake head action, too. Oh and the CG for the T-1000 was, ok, I guess, Lol. Not as cool as prosthetic fake heads though

[@Atypical71]

T2 is the perfect sequel imo. It's all downhill from here. Terminator salvation had some good ideas but they made the resistance too organized. And Terminator gensys had a good idea for the first half of the movie. Alternative 1984 was a cool idea. But a poor second half and poor casting doomed the movie

As for the rest of them...well I know you won't be dissuaded from watching them so I'll just say I look forward to your reaction to other movies. ;-) The TV show is worth it though--I was angry when it was cancelled before it could tell a complete story. Just like the show Firefly, which you should definitely add to your list.

The Protectinator. As a kid in the early 90's this movie was absolutely amazing to us and still is. We were just like John Connor. "Easy Money" This was during the birth of CGI and it was mind blowing, just like Jurassic Park. They didn't depend on it, they utilized it in its infancy. There are actually two sets of twins in this, the cop's and Sarah's. I honestly cried at the end the first time. I can't lie. "It's when there's nothing wrong but, you cry any way."

[@VerowakReacts]

Using CGI sparingly is ideal for movies imo. Now a lot of movies are filmed on green sets and it's really not as immersive for the actors, and us. Just like Jurassic Park, Terminator 1 & 2 still hold up after all these years, which is amazing

[@TheatreFanatic1982]

​@VerowakReacts I really hope that you see this comment because it's important that you do. There's one other thing of the Terminator that you have to see and watch on KZbin because you couldn't see this in any ordinary movie theater at all. At Universal Studios Florida and the other Universal theme parks, there was a Terminator attraction called Terminator 2:3-D Battle Across Time. This particular attraction came out in 1996 at Universal Studios Florida. James Cameron came back to direct the actual movie portion that's played in the attraction, as well as James Cameron was able to get Around Schwarzenegger, Edward Furlong, Linda Hamilton, and Robert Patrick to reprise their roles as the Terminator, John Connor, Sarah Connor, abd the T-1000. The storyline takes place in the present time. Somehow, someway, Cyberdyne Systems is back and better than ever. There was a pre-show before the actual show portion. A character named Kimberly Duncan, who's Cyberdyne's Director of Community Relations and Media Control, is the host of the pre-show. She's put together a media presentation about Cyberdyne Systems and Skynet, and all of the different inventions and technologies that they've created so far. Halfway through the pre-show, both Sarah Connor and John Connor interrupt the show, and they warn the guests about how Cyberdyne is a menace and that they're planning on stopping Skynet. They tell everybody that they have 5-minutes to get out before they break in. Kimberly Duncan then gets everything under control again and gets the signal back to her media presentation again. Eventually in the show portion itself has live action stunt work on stage, pyrotechnics, and many other things. Sarah Connor and John Connor disrupt the Kimberly's presentation of Cyberdyne's newest Terminators called the T-70s. The T-1000 shows up to kill both Sarah and John. But the Terminator shows up to save them from the T-1000. Then the Terminator and John Connor ride into Los Angeles in the year 2029 to destroy Skynet. Along the way, you encounter Mini-Hunters, an Endo Skeleton, and a stronger enemy called the T-1,000,000. James Cameron said that since he couldn't make a 3rd Terminator movie for movie theaters, that this attraction is the conclusion to his Terminator series, and that this attraction is a direct sequel to Terminator 2: Judgment Day. So whenever you have the time or the chance, you'll have to watch some videos of this attraction. 😀

[@VerowakReacts]

That's very interesting and the first time I hear of this, I'll have to find videos of that attraction!!@@TheatreFanatic1982

[@IdealUser]

@@VerowakReacts You hit the nail on the head. The practical effects, filming on real locations and stunts is what makes movies like this stand up. CGI was just a tool. Fun fact, the helicopter under the bridge, really happened. No way would a movie production company would allow that to happen today because of insurance and liability. I highly recommend watching the behind the scenes to see how this movie was created.

Just in case nobody has mentioned it, the "Get to the Choppa!" line is from Predator. Which is also a must see movie.

[@sithlordkaeyl21]

The security guard at the state hospital, when the T-1000 was the floor, and it takes his form, they are actually twin brothers and actors. Also, when the T-1000 takes the form of Sarah Conner, that is Linda Hamilton’s twin sister. The line, “Get to duh choppa” is an Arnold Schwarzenegger quote, but it’s from the movie ‘Predator’.

[@VerowakReacts]

Having a twin is definitely more realistic than CGI 😁

[@Wolf-ln1ml]

They also brought in her twin sister (Leslie) for the scene where they're taking out the T-101's chip. The model of Arnie's head is in the "mirror" (other room) along with Leslie standing next to it :)

11:27 "This dude looks like a proper terminator. He's so focused on him." You're right. Robert Patrick is my favorite terminator, though I'll always have a soft place in my heart for Summer Glau.

[@VerowakReacts]

I absolutely loved his performance. He nailed that role perfectly!

[@SCharlesDennicon]

Patrick is phenomenal in his role, but because of the horror element of the first Terminator, my favorite Terminator will always be Terminator 1 T-101, evil Arnie. And the Terminatress in the TV show is cool, but not very scary.

Not only did Robert Patrick do the super-run (catching the bike on the first take on accident), he also trained to become ambidextrous with all his shooting - because a robot would shoot with whichever hand is most efficient at the time.

i think one of the reasons i liked this so much was because it was filmed almost like a horror movie. there was a bunch of action but everytime the t-1000 was there it felt scary. and the villain was someone that seemed advanced enough where you really questioned how he could be killed.

[@HelloThere.GeneralKenobi]

Re: living 126yrs - There’s a TV show later. A terminator is sent back like 80yrs too far, and ends up killing the person who builds the building where he’s supposed to kill someone (government official, so that the bad guy will exist), so he starts his own all-Union construction company, so he can underbid the competition, and build that building anyway. Then he builds himself into the wall of the room where he will eventually kill the person. So 80yrs later, he busts out of the wall and kills the guy. It’s an interesting comment on humanity that the “most efficient” way to accomplish any of these long-term plans is to treat your workers well. In the show, they send Summer Glau As a reprogrammed female terminator, plus Kyle Reese’s brother back to help a slightly older John.

[@randeecarreno4289]

Definitely looking forward to this one. 😊 This movie is one of my top 3 all-time favorite movie sequels. Right up there with "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Top Gun Maverick". And this is also the best,in my opinion, the "Terminator" series. Fun Fact: Linda Hamilton's(Sarah Conner) twin sister played Sarah Connor in a couple of different scenes. 1) Foundry scene (as the T-1000/Sarah Connor). Whenever both Sarah and the T-1000 (disguised as Sarah) are both visible in a shot she's playing whichever is less in-focus. 2) And I think she also played Sarah during the nightmare scene when she sees herself playing with a toddler John. Looking forward to your next reaction. 😊

[@Polymathically]

It's always so interesting to see reactors go into this blind. The final trailer that came out just before the premiere spoiled the fact that Arnold was the good guy, so it ruined the surprise. I was lucky enough to watch this in the theaters when I was a kid. I wish I could fully articulate just how insane those stunts and special effects were back then. It truly heralded the beginning of the 90's action movie genre. The director's commentary and behind the scenes production footage are definitely worth watching; there are so many cool little details that went into this. Linda Hamilton trained extensively for the movie; that one-armed reload scene at the end was added specifically because she'd become strong enough to do it. She also smacked that mental hospital orderly with the broom handle for real, because the actor kept on holding back and ruining the previous takes. She also learned how to pick locks just for the escape scene. Arnold nearly broke his fingers when he tried doing that shotgun twirling trick and picked up the wrong prop. When they filmed the helicopter sequence, they really did fly it under the overpass; almost everyone was too afraid to try it because of how insanely dangerous it is, but the stunt pilot stepped up and did it _twice._ There are several more stories like this, so look them up sometime if you want.

[@WheresWaldo05]

Fun fact #2: A couple scenes were shot by James Cameron himself; The truck through the overpasses barrier and the helicopter under the overpass. He did this because his film crew didn't want to be the ones to film deaths if something went wrong.

Raymund got her autograph and still remembers how nice and friendly Linda Hamilton was. Raymund also helped the film crew for Arnie’s film ‘The 6th Day’ by renting equipment, space and the 5th floor Helipad of Canada Post.

All other scenes Edward redubbed John's lines of dialogue later because his voice broke during filming, but in the case of that scene, because of his character being in such an emotional state it was questionable whether Edward could have replicated that in the dubbing studio all that time later, given that he had never acted before at the time.

[@marauderdz]

While there are several reasons for John to go, I'm pretty sure Sarah wouldn't have gone with the terminator if John hadn't been there to convince her. She would have assumed it was a trick to get to John.

[@TheInvisibleMan229]

@@marauderdz Exactly. Does nobody remember Sarah *running* from the Arnold terminator when he got off the elevator? At the very least, the kid should have got off the elevator first. As it was, he had to snap her out of it.

[@marauderdz]

@@TheInvisibleMan229 I think it made sense for the terminator to step out first. They knew the elevator opened to a hallway, so it was likely their first encounter would be a guard, or the T-1000 itself. Arnold had to make sure the coast was clear first. There was no way they could have expected to see Sarah there, of all places.

[@robbie_]

I like the way you didn't realise they switched the Arnold role around for the second movie until later on.

[@VerowakReacts]

Yeah, it seems the trailer for the movie made it obvious that Arnold was a good guy, so I'm glad I don't watch the trailers for movies anymore lol

[@user-hx7wd7wt5v]

I bought this movie when it came out on VHS. 3-day weekend watching nothing but this back-to-back-to-back-to-back. I knew I kept missing something had to keep watching.

[@VerowakReacts]

I love it when movies have new things to notice when rewatching!

[@shainewhite2781]

This and ALIENS are the best Sci-fi Action Adventure films ever made! Did you know? James Cameron said in an interview that he was actually high on cocaine or ecstasy, I'm assuming the latter, while he was writing the script. I kid you not, I looked it up on Screenrant while he was promoting AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER.

[@VerowakReacts]

Really?! The story was really neat, so I guess taking drugs was a good thing for him and this movie 🤣

[@GeorgeTropicana]

thats not really surprising. cocaine in real life is such a nothing drug, like drinking an espresso or two or taking an adderall

[@wmxx2000]

Without exaggeration, one of the best action movies of all time. Fun Fact: The scene where the helicopter flies under the over pass... that's real. Not miniatures or CGI. Not so fun fact: the actor who played Myles Dyson actually had a punctured/collapsed lung so he used that experience to give his death scene more authenticity.

[@kilroy987]

Terminator, Aliens, The Abyss, T2, and True Lies are James Cameron in top form. Titanic was really good, too. I didn't really like Avatar's story at all - it was too simplistic. "Reprogram a Terminator!" "The dog isn't barking so that's a good sign." You are so astute!

[@VerowakReacts]

I have a lot of James Cameron movies to catch up on!! I can be pretty astute sometimes 😎

[@Wolf-ln1ml]

Yeah, "Avatar" is basically a simplified "Dances with Wolves"... The latter is absolutely worth watching, the former only if you want to hand in your brain at the entrance and munch popcorn.

[@WheresWaldo05]

James Cameron is an a-hat with the comments he continually makes about marvel/comic book movies.

[@Curraghmore]

The budget for this film was SIXTEEN times as much as for the first Terminator film in 1984.

[@ariochiv]

Linda Hamilton was so jacked for this movie that they used her twin sister to play "original Sarah" in the dream sequence.

[@Crashmastaflash]

I remember watching this in the cinema, the place almost erupted when arnie muttered the words “I’ll be back” Awesome film!

[@VerowakReacts]

[@shanepye7078]

When the terminator was shooting all those cops in the knees, it would be funny if someone edits in Arnold’s voice saying “You get a pension” with each shot.

[@VerowakReacts]

That would change the scene quite a lot 😂

[@ShuffleUpandDeal32]

You are exactly correct, she became the terminator

[@joeblankenship377]

Love this movie. An all-time classic. The extended edition is pretty good too. I like all the extra stuff but I prefer the vague, unsure ending with the road going by at night. Fits the "no fate but what we make" theme.

[@willmartin7293]

You are really in-sync with this sequel, Vero. 👍 You're anticipating the characters' lines before they say them. 😊 Well done! I hope you don't listen to the naysayers who will try to convince you to not watch the other sequels. I personally think the whole franchise is great, and that you would enjoy all of them! Thanks for your excellent reaction. It was fun watching it with you. 👍😊❤ Hopefully, I'll get to see your T3 reaction soon. 🤞😊

I'm also a big fan of Terminator: Salvation. I think it's a great cap to John Conner's story. Beyond that, the series just becomes a bunch of soft reboots.

Always amusing when people say strong female characters are a recent thing. They conveniently forget Sarah, Ripley, and Leia among others.

[@briantykelley7617]

The TV show "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" is the best part of the franchise after the first two movies. (IMO) Please don't skip it even if you do skip some of the remaining movies.

[@VerowakReacts]

I've heard that it was cancelled, so it doesn't have a full story. I'll be watching it for sure, Sarah Connor is amazing

[@3DJapan]

​@@VerowakReactsTrue, it's only one season but it is good!

[@willmartin7293]

There are two seasons of the Sarah Conner Chronicles and they are great! It ends on a cliffhanger that would have completely changed the plotline, but those two seasons fit in very well with the whole franchise.@@VerowakReacts

[@willmartin7293]

If you have only seen season 1 of the Sarah Connor Chronicles, then I have some great news for you. There were two seasons, so you have a whole lot of new Terminator TV shows to watch. 👍😊 @@3DJapan

[@marauderdz]

Strong agree. While the first season was a bit awkward and slow, the second really ramped things up. I feel like too many Terminator fans just assumed a TV show would suck worse than the post-T2 movies and didn't give it a chance.

[@clarkmichaels822]

For all the focus on the awesome action I think the movie also has some pretty poignant observations about human nature, especially with Sarah reflecting on how a machine is technically the perfect father and that machines can learn the value of human life better than humans can.

[@gumdeo]

The irony here is that even John couldn't explain to the T-800 why humans have value.

[@Berg126]

T2 is a benchmark in movie history, many of the special effects still look better than modern movie CGI. Remembering household surround sound was just getting a thing, and T2 was the movie all used to sell it. It went many years before I saw the extended version, glad I saw the original first, but do think the extended version is a must-see too! The extra stuff is cool scenes that give so much more to the story. Loved your reaction to this, hope you will enjoy T2 extended

[@Texy88]

One thing I liked about the extended version is that it made it much clearer as to how John knew which of the Sarahs was the real one and which was the T-1000 in disguise, because of John looking down at the floor and the T-1000's Sarah had noticeable glitching that caused the outer edges of his shoes to seemingly melt into the floor slightly, so he would have known which Sarah to obey after that. Because that foot-glitching is cut from the theatrical version I never knew how John could possibly have known which was the fake Sarah. Another bit I liked which I also thought was a shame was cut from the theatrical print was when the T-1000 had killed Todd and Janelle and eventually Max, the dog (who the T-1000 at the time thought was called Wolfie because of the T-800's ruse) before the T-1000 picks up the dog's collar and sees the name "Max" on it, showing that he now knew that his own ruse had been rumbled.

[@Berg126]

@@Texy88 exactly, some more glitches are nice to see after he has resembled, and the scene with the chip and how he learns to smile, many small details, that are worth seeing

[@odemusvonkilhausen]

Actually, I believe they used to say that Robocop was "Part man, part machine, all cop".

[@donpyro5602]

I used to wonder about the arm but remembered the one from the first movie was the right arm, this one lost his left arm. So it wouldn’t have really worked to replace it

[@jeffthompson9622]

Thanks for reacting to this and for saying that you will continue with the movie series. The first two are best, but I enjoyed them all except for "Dark Fate." "The Sarah Connor Chronicles" TV series(2 seasons) is also very good.

[@melody9241]

That dumb doctor left just as Arnold walked in

[@stanimirgeorgiev.87]

You cry at the end. This is so sweet. I too cry on this final scene ; hahahahaha I love the last Terminator screen: all in 0.00 ; this is when all functions are blocked. And the inscription: inevitable shutdown. This time it can no longer be turned on. The lesson is that this machine now has a soul because of the child, after a machine learned the value of a human life. So John didn't just lose his bodyguard, he lost a friend. This last hand was about Sarah and John never giving up. I really love the ending.

[@VerowakReacts]

It's really a heartbreaking ending!!

[@JamesGilburt-lb7sg]

Hi Verowak, I've loved your reactions to the first 2 Terminator movies 😊 they're amazing! Please continue with the franchise asap. Arnie plays the cyborg so well. He is one of the GOAT Hollywood icons and his back catalogue of movies is awesome! More of his films I highly recommend you react to are: Predator (1987) - the line "Get to the chopper!" is in that 😉, Total Recall (1990), Commando* (1985) & Last Action Hero (1993) Production on the first Terminator movie got put back several months, so during this time; James Cameron wrote Aliens! I like your reactions and I'm subscribed to the channel. *Arnie is like the Terminator in it, without actually being a Terminator 😜

Some other trivia, in the guard scene where T-1000 transformed to him, it is guard twin brother that did a short cameo. It was the same thing with the scene where it is two Sarah Connor at the same time on screen, Linda Hamilton's twin sister did a short cameo there also.
