Uncle Bob is the best Terminator in the Franchise. The actor who played Dyson suffered a collapsed lung earlier in life, and essentially recreated the "shortness of breath" he had gone through for the death scene as he figured the character after being shot like that would have had the same. Cameron loved it and told him to run with it. Still one of the best death scenes on film.

One of the story arcs I love in this film, as the Terminator becomes more human, Sarah becomes more machine-like. When she attacks Dyson, she's efficient and methodical. Only Danny throwing himself in front of his father snaps her out of it.

[@lukeball4937]

I’m still surprised that we haven’t gotten a saying or meme from Sarah actually pulling the trigger. Like with the “Han shot first“ type of thing. The trope is for the “hero“ to get to that moment of truth, and not opt for cold blooded murder. Sarah didn’t have that problem. I think it’s one of the most overlooked major movie points, of any movie.

[@dernwine]

21:45 Sarah Connor is part of the reason why I hate it when modern studios say the reason a movie failed is because "Men can't handle strong female heroes," we loved Sarah back in the 90's.

[@TheRealGSmith]

Write your heroines well, like Sarah or Buffy, and nobody has a problem with their gender. Write characters poorly and everyone has a problem with them, gender or otherwise. It should be fairly simple.

[@LucianDevine]

Yup, exactly! Sarah is such a flawed and broken human being, and understandably so! She knows and has seen more than any human should have to. So it led her down a path that she never would have gone down otherwise. Then we get to her escape, which the movie specifically points out that she's tried several times before. So we know she's effectively been perfecting it. She also didn't effortlessly overpower any of the men she took down. She used a combination of surprise, distraction, and weapons to take them down, because she knows that they have height, weight, numbers, and an experience advantage over her. She has to act quickly and decisively, or she's going to fail again. Then at the end, she rightfully panics and runs like a scared little girl when she sees the source of her trauma, in the proverbial flesh before her.

[@thejamppa]

I agree. Studio's weak excuse for writing bad female characters: "Men can't handle them". Used in Acolyte and She-Hulk's failures, while same time, universally loved Fallout had Lucy, loved and highly praised heroine. Yeah. Write characters well, people like them. Regardless of gender, color, sexual orientation or creed. Granted there's always trolls, but you get my point.

[@JLRules]

If this film came out today, it _would_ be attacked by certain people for having a strong female hero. Ripley from the _Alien_ series even moreso, for "emasculating" all the men.

@@thejamppa And it's so simple too. Cast for the role. Don't write a role for the casting, especially if your writers can't write worth a damn.

When you go to rewatch, get the extended/director's cut. It has more scenes with Arnold's T-101 development and relationship with Sarah and John. There are also shots showing that the T-1000 was starting to erode or malfunction from all the repeated damage, which informs parts of the later sequence. These were all great scenes/shots that really enhance the plot, but the studio originally cut them just for runtime.

Sarah in T2, Ripley in Alien and Aliens, and Samus Aran from the Metroid-videogame-series are the best female badasses of all time, period. Edit: And Terminator 2 is the best Action Movie ever made. Edit 2: Man, so many favourite moments! Favourite special effect was when the T-1000 went through the steel bars. Favourite action scene was a tie between the motorcycle/truck chase scene and Arnold wiht the minigun. Favourite heart pounding moment was every time T-1000 caught up to a vehicle on foot! Favourite moment overall though was Sarah's inner monnologue about the Terminator bonding with John. Really makes you think about all the people who don't live up to their responsibilities, eb it as parents or otherwise, and subsequently what your own place and duty is in this world.

They filmed the scene with the helicopter flying under a highway overpass by having a helicopter fly under an overpass.

The stunt pilot on the film was a former Vietnam veteran and helicopter pilot Charles A. Tamburro. The man was a legend.

[@LittleGalaxyBoy]

This film strongly reflects the idea introduced by Kyle Reese in the first film that he comes from "one possible future," suggesting that history is subject to change. The future Kyle Reese grew up in doesn’t have to be the same for Sarah and John Connor if they succeed in preventing Judgment Day, meaning the events of August 29, 1997 may still be averted. Though the film never confirms if they actually did prevent Judgment Day, concluding on an open note it does leave us uncertain about whether this dark future has truly been stopped. Only time will tell. There is an alternate ending for this film that shows an elderly Sarah Connor in a utopian Los Angeles in 2029, watching over an adult John Connor and her grand child in the same playground she once had nightmares about. A timeline in which Judgment Day was prevented and John grew up to become a father. I’m not sure which version of the film includes this ending, but I’ve seen some reactors watch that ending. It's not the "canonical" ending but I guess you could argue that it's canon within a certain timeline. The time travel in The Terminator films can be confusing, but I’ve always understood it this way: every time someone travels back in time, they create a new timeline. The actions taken in this new timeline don’t affect the one they just left. So, the Kyle Reese we saw in the first film couldn’t change his own timeline, but he could protect Sarah Connor and potentially create a timeline where Judgment Day never happens. Closer to Avengers: Endgame time travel than this say Back to the Future. I actually recommend checking out the other films, even though some people older than us like to pretend that only the first two Terminator films exist. Personally, I think the sequels offer unique takes that are enjoyable in their own right. Sarah Connor Chronicles is also a really great TV series.

[@BreetaiZentradi]

I read the novelization at the time. Which of course is official "cannon" at the time, to be displaced when they make a new movie that contradicts it.Two big things stand out in the novel 1. Around the scene where Arnold is standing there guarding and Sarah realizes he is the perfect Dad for John. John finds out the Terminator can be put into "learning mode". So he pulls a chip out of the terminators skull, flip the switch on it and puts it back in. From that point on the Terminator starts becoming more "human". 2. The book as an Epilogue. John becomes a very powerful US Senator, and uses that position to squash funding for anything AI related that comes down the line. He is happy that his mom Sarah is "mostly normal now". After 15 years of running around like she did and nearly being killed by two terminators, that is the best you can hope for.

As much as I love Ripley, I think Sarah Conner blows her away as a character. Getting to see Sarah Connor as a very average and typical young woman, then seeing the transformed, gritty, version of herself years later is in itself amazing. But then also getting to see her at her most fallible, and then most vulnerable when she goes to murder Dyson and then gets talked down from it from her son, to then again being the strong protective mother at the end. Its just all amazing character development and execution. Not to knock Ripley, as she's also a great character. But there's just so much more going on with Sarah Connor that we get to see.

[@canadianicedragon2412]

14:15 - "This dude's been working on his cardio" You're not wrong he was an athlete but trained at running with his mouth closed and no expression for this movie. He was so fast in the first take he caught up to the bike. The bootstrap paradox... Time travel creates the thing they time travelled for... The short version is Time happened. A sequence of events unfold. A time traveller goes back and "alters" the sequence of events, causing time to happen. A loop forms. You can no longer determine cause and effect. It is possible that the "first time" John defeated the machines it took longer and he was not as healthy or skilled... then Reese time travelled and became the father, a survivor - born with the strength and skill to live in an apocalypse, now John v.2 is smarter, healthier, and learns faster how to defeat the machines. Loop restarts. John v.3 is not only healthier but his parent(s) teach him skill before the war. Etc. Oh and they used twins for the duplicate scenes. Terminator 3... was not as great. Especially after the wait for it. There are other movies, but the first 2 are the best. T3 gets a lot of hate, not all deserved. That said... they are ok if you go in with lower expectation.

Your intro reminded me of in Anchorman when Steve Carrel chugs the coffee and he announces ”I just burnt my tongue” 😜 Loved Anchorman 😂🙏

[@RACM1912]

The best movie in the Terminator saga 👍

[@2REACHER5]

Hi “The Mirandalorian Reacts” I just wanted to reach out and let you know how much your channel means to me, especially your reaction to Terminator 2: Judgment Day. It’s my absolute favorite movie in the Terminator series, and seeing it through your eyes has honestly made my day. You bring such an amazing energy and fresh perspective that I can’t help but watch over and over-it’s honestly brilliant! I recently came out of the hospital after a life-changing and life-threatening situation, and it’s been a tough journey. But watching your reactions has been such a source of comfort and joy during this time. Knowing I can rely on your content to lift my spirits and bring a smile to my face has meant the world to me. So please, keep doing what you’re doing because you have a forever supporter right here! Thank you so much for everything. Your reactions are a bright spot that I truly look forward to. Can’t wait to see what you react to next! All the best, Reacher

[@ArykSapien]

I think stop motion for the last movie was the perfect pick for the terminator to make it look robotic. The CG in this movie was perfect for the liquid T1000.

[@shugaroony]

Also the first one was restricted by budget, whilst this was a full blown blockbuster, so had all the money in the world thrown at it.

[@alexanderjensen_spots]

I just got to work with Linda Hamilton and we smoked a cig together 😂🤣 she’s awesome

[@Pavaroso]

In connection to "Resident Alien"?

[@alexanderjensen_spots]

@@Pavarosono it’s a Netflix series I’m on

[@shugaroony]

@@alexanderjensen_spots Nice. Good luck with it!

[@yesfed2730]

Good choice! Watch Planes, Trains, and Automobiles next. A favorite by many reaction channels and if you liked Spaceballs you gonna enjoy John Candy. Happy Trails

[@claymccoy]

Yes, for Thanksgiving preferably.

[@shugaroony]

Oh thats a 10/10 film. Any time its on, no matter at what stage the film is at; I have to sit down and watch it. So good.

[@jeri3808]

they're not alley ways, they're over 1300 miles of storm drains throughout the Los Angles megatropolis! Also, can you imagine when that baby, that Arnold picks up got to kindergarten.........WOW what a story for "show and tell". LOL

[@vvayne5494]

It's called a temporal paradox or time loop paradox. The time loop supports itself. A: Sara survives and trains John. B: John defeats the machines. C: Machines send a Terminator back in time to kill Sara. A: Sara survives and trains John. A leads to B, B leads to C, C leads to A, A leads to B

[@BenjWarrant]

See Robert Heinlein's short stories _By his bootstraps_ and _All you zombies._

[@Mark-xx3gh]

Did they really need the “point zero” for human casualties? I’d expect it to be a whole number.

[@FireTiger941]

T2 and Aliens are the best sequels ever made!

[@AlunYorath]

Godfather fans may argue

[@lonelyboy1977]

That is a very low bar to reach given that 99% of sequels are redundant, cynical cash grabs that simply rehash the original film.

[@shugaroony]

Empire Strikes Back.

[@nigeldepledge3790]

At about 19:00 -ish. Yes, and no. You have stumbled upon what is commonly known as the Bootstrap Paradox. If the first terminator and Kyle Rees had not been sent back in time, Sarah would never have known about Judgement Day. But they were and she did, so she trained John to be the leader of the resistance against the machines. And, without that training and foreknowledge, John might not have been able to become the leader that he was known to have become. Um, I mean, the leader that he was going to have been known to have become. I mean, the leader that he was going to have been known to going to have become. You know, time travel really screws with grammatical tense formations.

[@chefskiss6179]

Fun Fact: After this film premiered households saw a significant decrease in people drinking straight out of the carton. 😂😂😂

[@TheCastellan]

Duh, it's ICKY.

[@ianrastall]

What a lot of reactors don't notice is that the kid from the restaurant at the beginning of T1 who puts the scoop of mashed potatoes into Sarah's pocket, is actually a young T-1000. Part of the process with liquid metal is that you have to grow it, like a crystal. So he has a whole backstory of living in Long Beach and trying to make it with his junior high rock band. (They make it as far as the national Battle of the Bands competition held once every five years in Hoboken, Montana (sister city, of course, to Moscow, Pennsylvania) They go all the way, but at that exact moment the T-1000 has his 18th birthday, at which point his instruction codes are unlocked, and he begins his murderous rampage.) (James Cameron is currently working on a film about that murder spree called Last Call of the Broken Promise. It's supposed to be his first comedy-drama.) (Starring the corpse of Harry Dean Stanton, as he just couldn't resist continuing to be in every movie ever made.) So yeah, the mashed potatoes in the pocket are actually a time-activated starch bomb. Technically a smart bomb, but no one in development could wrap their mouths around the words "start smarch"... I mean "start smarch"... No. I just said that. I mean "smart starch". So anyway, great reaction!

[@VeX1138]

Fun fact about the Shotgun in the box of roses scene ... Arnold Schwarzenegger wanted "You Could Be Mine" by Guns 'n' Roses to be in the film and after the song was selected, he had the band over to his house for dinner and screened that one scene for them to show how much he and the rest of the film makers appreciated them licensing the song for their use in the film. Which is why the "gun" is hidden in the "roses".

[@presencerocks2224]

Are you sure? The song debuted with the music video for T2. The Use Your Illusion albums wouldn’t come out until a few months later. I don’t know that Arnie knew that song and would have wanted it. He may have wanted GnR though as they were huge at the time

[@stuka80]

"three billion human lives were lost... they survived only to face a new nightmare..." Her = huge excited grin on her face

[@ConstantSorrow]

It's called a predestination paradox. Sarah trains John to be a military leader. Skynet send a terminator back to kill Sarah to stop John being that leader. Neither A or B can happen without the other. What came first? Both or neither?

[@paulsander5433]

There's a theory that the future causes the past: For something to happen today, everything leading up to it in the past must have also happened.

[@socaldayve6684]

As a really old guy I distinctly remember how jaw-dropping it was when Linda Hamilton went from damsel in distress to ripped badass for T2. People loved her transformation. I don't remember specifically, but I suspect that at the time there were few women put front-and-center with male leads in action movies like this.

[@shugaroony]

Yeah, we were used to seeing Linda be demure (and I think she was in the Beauty And The Best tv series for a while then too), then bulked up for this and was awesome! It also helped she and Cameron were in a relationship as well.

[@JJgibson1]

Check out the movies Predator(1987), Predator 2(1990), and Men in Black(1997).

[@Frugivorix34]

Men in Black, seriously ?

[@GamePaddyPat]

Such an amazing movie! The Terminator is so relatable. Socially awkward, doesn't understand human behaviour and doesn't know how to hold children. Super fun reaction, as always! Thanks, Miranda!

[@vvanheukelum]

I think you're the first reactor to notice the interaction with the manequin... nice!

[@KroomReads]

It was Arnie’s stuntman, Peter Kent, who did the motorcycle jump, wearing prosthetics to look like Arnold. The bike was suspended by cables, but the stunt was still plenty dangerous!

[@panicboy3705]

"The roses are not for you" 🤣🤣

[@kevinschultz5678]

Next up in the Terminator Cinematic Universe... Wayne's World. 👍

[@clintono]

The trick to the time travel in the Terminator movies is a lot more complex than just jumping into your past. Every time a jump happens, a new timeline is created. Skynet knows that it can't save itself by sending Terminators into the past, but understanding what is happening, it is trying to save the version of itself in that new timeline. Things get seriously metaphysical.

[@michaelray3865]

@@clintono logically, it could be saved by some other timeline traveling to it, though. Skynet wasn’t thinking small.

[@genghisgalahad8465]

Because it's a time paradox that couldn't be?

[@clintono]

@@michaelray3865 Nope, because then it would not have been in the situation where it would know to send a Terminator out. It would have won on Judgement Day already. :D

[@clintono]

@@genghisgalahad8465 The books explain it well, but yes, Paradox would prevent the machine from changing its own past.

[@ThomasKnip]

Sarah Connor and Ellen Ripley were our strong female characters back in the 1980's and 1990's. No one has to tell us older geeks and nerds what a strong female should look like. We know. And we love them. ^^

[@TheRealGSmith]

They're two great examples against "Men don't like strong female leads." The traditionally manliest of men absolutely adore those two ass-kickers.

[@adriantrusca1245]

Princess Leia too.

[@OneArmedRetroGamer]

Best sequels list; this one, shrek 2, godfather 2, dark knight, empire strikes back, aliens, Spiderman 2, x2, rescuers down under, winter soldier...which am i missing?

[@claymccoy]

Toy Story 2 (or 3).

The new Mission: impossible movies? Not necessarily the second one though. Glad you're mentioning Shrek 2. Oh, oh! Puss in boots 2!

[@claymccoy]

@@OneArmedRetroGamer Mad Max 2.

[@OneArmedRetroGamer]

@TheRealGSmith nice. I kinda meant direct sequels but those are good. Forgot Dawn of the planet of the apes

[@shugaroony]

@@claymccoy Hell yes. Mad Max 2 is still the best Mad Max.

[@tiwagg5345]

One of the best sequels ever. I never get tired of watching it and especially watching KZbinrs react to it for the first time. Great reaction as always :)

[@Augustus087]

Yaaay! Looking forward to this! This is the best of the Terminator series.

[@DanielCline9]

Hot take: this is the best of the movies but the TV show Terminator the Sarah Connor Chronicles is even better.(Mainly because there are 2 seasons of greatness) So wish it wasn't cancelled. Summer Glau from Firefly, Lena Headley, Shirley Manson, and a bunch of people from Battlestar Galactica.

[@vincenthawks]

I never thought of the T1000 imitating the other terminator. That might have worked better than imitating Sarah.

[@metoo7557]

You edited out one of the best scenes with the black semi truck going over the edge while chasing John :(. And no, that wasn't Arnold on the bike if you pause it you can clearly see it's a stunt double wearing the same outfit.

[@jamiehill3621]

I liked the directors attention to detail. When the guard getting coffee taps the glass originally it sounds normal. But when the T1000 copies him you can hear metal tapping on the glass the second time.

[@roderick8167]

Let's Go ! I was waiting for this reaction, Terminator 2 is definitely the best Terminator movie and in my opinion one of the greatest action movies ever by far 🤘🔥

[@anthonyz7000]

This movie is such a masterpiece. It was great to see it in theaters when it first came out - all the shocks, surprises, and audience laughs at the humor! But second to that, your reaction was great! It felt kind of like seeing it for the first time again.

[@fastan86]

Terminator 3 is definitely worth of watching 👍

[@damonkopchak2209]

I absolutely loved Terminator 3, and I reject the arguments against it. Definitely worth watching.

[@robertcartier5088]

Not so fun fact: The actress who played the Terminator in T3 is now a social media influencer who pushes Wifi/5G conspiracy theories... Sad.

[@eddawg79]

Any day we get a Miranda reaction is the best day ever. Hope everyone is having an amazing day.

And that’s why T2 is the best Terminator and one of the best movies ever…loved your reaction so so so much…keep em coming!

[@ravenblack3474]

Please react to Terminator 3 too. It's a pretty good movie even though some fanboys don't like it

[@mattjames7386]

It isn't good. The only thing it has going for it is its ballsy ending.

[@ravenblack3474]

​@@mattjames7386 It may not be as strong as Part 2, but on its own, it's a solid movie with impressive action scenes and a well-executed continuation of the story.

[@dansgaming2064]

It could be a coincidence, but the Terminator stabbed the guard in the left eye because the left part of the brain controls speech. Which is probably why there was no reaction from the guard. I remember reading that somewhere.

[@mikehill1626]

There’s actually 5 total films

[@claymccoy]

6.

[@reallivebluescat]

No there isnt. Only 2. 😡

[@Starsaber222]

[@Kurahaara86]

Two films total PERIOD

[@darksteelyurius]

I saw this movie for the first time when I was a kid. My dad let me stay home from school. He told them I was sick. We kept it from my mom too. She went to work, my dad was off and we hung out in the living room. He went out and got some mcdonald's and rented this movie. God I miss him

[@ChrisReacts4fun]

Fun fact, In the scene that the T-1000 ren after John in the parking garage, Robert Patrick ren so fast that he was abel to catch up with the bike, and they (the crew and director) where not especting that. So they asked Robert Patrick to run a little bit slower next take. I personally think that is hilarious🤣

[@Eric_L_Laney]

It’s been a long long time since I saw this movie. I had forgotten how good it is. You mentioned the sound coming from different directions in your ear buds. That reminded me of watching Titanic for the first time in early 1997, and hearing what I thought was someone yelling in the back of the theater. I quickly realized that it was a deck hand in the distance in the movie.

[@scottluvisi9941]

I saw this movie on day one. It was incredible. The thing that I remember most about it is was, my friend's and I were big Gun's and Roses fans, and when I heard "You Could be Mine", I was so excited and knew a new album was coming out.

[@unklebacon44]

I swear, your pure joy in some of these reactions is worth every second.
