Terminator 2: Judgment day was an amazing sequel and truly great movie! We can't wait to bring more Arnie movies to the channel! In case you missed it, The Terminator (1984) can be found here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmbXkHtmi62Bg68 Thank you everyone for the support!

Stop at T3? Stop here! The rest of the franchise is crap just to milk a few more bucks out if the cow. Only Terminator salvation could be worth watching without ruining it all, but it is just an average movie.

[@Serai3]

Two little details I love: In the early flashforward when we see John Connor as an adult, watch the way he moves - his head and eye movements are an echo of the Terminator's because he learned how to be tough and strong and unyielding from his machine "dad". And when the Terminator picks up the mini-gun for the first time, his smile is a deliberate imitation of John's, which you see in the next shot - the smile crawls up the side of their faces in exactly the same way. He's learning how to be human, but he's learning specifically from John. So each of them takes something from the other. :D

[@Trademarc1977]

She's also in James Cameron's Titanic.

[@Serai3]

When Sarah shoots her way into Dyson's house and he answers her rage with "What?" - at that moment she saw herself, and realized that _she had become a Terminator._ That was the revelation that stopped her from killing him. The idea that she had become a killing machine to the point of being willing to kill someone who was fundamentally innocent of any crime was too much for her. And that proved that she was not truly mad, that her trauma had not crippled her completely, and that she could come back - at least enough to do what she had to do without succumbing to the evil she was fighting. Deep and dark, indeed.

[@maximillianosaben]

The Director's Cut of this movie expands the story, including a scene before the 3rd Act, where Sarah and John reprogram Arnold's Terminator so he can learn new things. It's helps explain why he picks up some more human characteristics towards the later part of the film, including smiling and understanding why John cries at the end.

[@trequor]

I'm sad that more people don't recognize Arnie's weird smile as a direct imitation of John's cheeky smile. He's just being a machine and copying what another human does. He also only does it when he is facing a human directly. It's performative.

[@ivanvoronov3871]

While those scenes are great (albeit unnecessary) the ending of the Director's Cut completely destroys the vibes. I'm very thankful they went with the ending they did for the theatrical.

[@rmsgrey]

Yeah, the scene explains that the Terminators have the capability to learn, but have that turned off before they're sent into the field - so they literally just need to flip a switch to allow Arnold to learn things. Just don't think too hard about why John didn't flip that switch before sending the Terminator back...

13:36 Linda Hamilton's acting will always be some of the best. She knows that even with all the training and skills, a Terminator appearing in front of her is still a sign that marks the "end" that is coming. Imagine how scary it was for Sarah... the machine that hunted her and killed Kyle was now back. Also, small detail that may or may not be actually real... but it's been discussed that one reason that Sarah kept running despite her son John calling out to her was because Sarah remembers that the Terminator can mimic voices. The acting feels so convincing too.

[@MikeTitan18]

Her acting when she goes to kill Dyson is also superb, she herself becomes a terminator in that moment and as she stalks closer to the house to finish the job is always chilling.

Fun Fact: The man taking pictures of the T-800 after breaking through the glass is the police officer 1L-19 from the first Terminator who arrived at Tech-Noir only for the T-800 to knock him out and steal his car. Hence why he's so shocked to see him again. And Robert Patrick ran so fast he actually had to purposefully slow down or else he would easily overtake the motorbike John was on.

[@stang5755]

Actually in most of the shots (particularly those showing Edward Furlong in closeup) they have a tow pulling the bike, and what they did was have it go faster. According to Cameron, initially the crewman driving the tow said it was already quick enough to where Robert Patrick supposedly wouldn't catch Furlong but not only did RP catch up, he even tapped Eddie on the shoulder. So they sped it up even more. Indeed RP was indeed an insane runner tho. Even a decade later in X-Files there's spots where you can tell Patrick did cut down his run speed or he would ended some eps early, lol.

[@brigidtheirish]

Sounds a bit like how directors had to ask Bruce Lee to slow down his martial arts moves because the camera barely even caught the blur.

[@weldonwin]

Its even more impressive, since Patrick wasn't breathing while he was running. He would do those incredible bursts of speed, while holding his breath, to give the impression of the T-1000 as this utterly inhuman machine, not showing any signs of being alive.

Eh, bit of an asterisk on the "wrote T1" part. Cameron claimed to have written it alone, but then he got sued by Harlan Ellison. Part of the settlement was that weird "Acknowledgement to the works of Harlan Ellison" card at the end of T1. We'll probably never know the whole story, but, comparing their other works, the whole "Terminator" concept feels a lot more like Ellison than Cameron to me.

The one thing that truly pulls on my heart strings in this movie is the scene where John, Sarah, Terminator are fleeing mental hospital in the car after evading liquid terminator. Sarah motions to John for what looks like a motherly embrace but all she wanted to do is examine him for injuries. John was crestfallen. He was expecting a motherly embrace with affection. It was a gut punch for him.

Robert Patrick's portrayal of the T-1000 is often overlooked, but is a crucial part of the movie. Arnie was threatening in the original partially down to his sheer size, but despite the fact that he towers over Patrick it's clear that the T-1000 is a menacing villain, and the superior 'killing machine' . From the way that he runs, to the cold expression on his face, and his emotionless voice. The fact that he trained himself not to blink when firing a gun is a testament to his dedication to the role.

one of my favorite little details in this film that most people probably don't even notice is when the terminator opens the door to Dyson's house and a heavy piece of metal clangs to the floor. It was obviously meant to be some kind of heavy-duty security measure to re-inforce the door against break-ins, but the terminator just walked through it like it wasn't even there. Also, the ripple that goes up the T-1000's face after he pins the terminator's arm was a glitch. It was meant to show that it had been damaged by being frozen and shattered and now it was malfunctioning. There's more in the director's cut. However, since the rest got cut, it just looks like a random bit of weirdness.

[@nooneofconsequence1251]

Cameron is a master of using FX in a way that will forever look good. (with Terminator there was only so much he could do with 6 million dollars) The CGI in T2 was revolutionary, but the liquid metal terminator was relatively easy to render compared to something like the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park so that's why Cameron used it. Most of the other FX were done practically, and often not even with miniatures. The Cyberdyne Systems building explosion, for example... that was an actual office building that they really blew up with real explosives. They really did drive a semi-truck off a bridge, and they really did fly a helicopter under a freeway overpass. That stuff is all real. In the director's cut there is one REALLY impressive scene they unfortunately had to cut out where Sarah and John cut into the T-800's head to flip a switch on his CPU and allow him to learn - they pull off that shot using Linda Hamilton's real-life twin sister standing on the other side of a fake mirror. Seamless.

[@EACru2002]

I'm actually very glad that you guys watched the theatrical cut first. One thing to keep in mind is that James Cameron doesn't call the longer edition a Director's Cut. It's an extended edition. But he considers what he released in theaters as his director's cut. There are some movies that 100% are better in all ways in their director's cut version (e.g. Kingdom of Heaven is a notable one). But often times, a longer cut isn't necessarily the better version. For instance, the Extended Edition Lord of the Rings movies are fun movies for super fans on rewatch, but if I show those films to a new viewer, I always show them the theatrical cut first, it just flows better. Same with T2. The Extended Edition has a lot of cool scenes in a vacuum, but as a film, it doesn't flow as well.

[@ssjgotenks2009]

True that, when I was a kid I lived in a rough home environment with horrible drug addict parents at the time. I forgive them now but at the time we had T2 on VHS and I watched it all the time throughout the years. I think I still tear up every single time I watch this movie's ending because in a lot of ways Arnold's character was like a hero father figure in my eyes. A few years ago I bought the Director's cut on Amazon and watch it occasionally even though I've seen the movies probably hundreds of times as a kid. The director's cut adds allot of context and depth even for the 10 or so extra minutes of cut scenes from the theatrical cut.

[@trequor]

Actually not as much as you might think. About half of the T-1000 stuff was practical and virtually all of the stunts were real. And the few fully CGI scenes were intercut with real (or miniature) stuff in order to help sell the CGI. Like the nitrogen truck is real, CGI, and a miniature at various times during its entry to the steel mill.

This scene, and the corresponding scenes where John is trying to teach him to be more human, all contribute to a more impactful ending.
