There is a deleted scene where Lt. Traxler (the black cop) was beginning to believe Reese. It was right after he told the psychologist "It's just him and me." It then goes to Traxler and his partner in the other room and Traxler takes off his glasses and is deep in thought. His partner shrugs it off, saying Reese is just crazy and Traxler goes, "I hope you're right." Also when Reese finds Sarah and runs with her out the police station, they are stopped by a dying Traxler. He even addresses Reese by name. He then tells Kyle Sarah *had* to stay alive and gave his pistol to Reese and tells him to do all he can. Traxler has been in the game a long time. He knows liars and crazies. Sees them day in and day out. And now that he has experienced some of the future, with just ONE of them, he knows humanity is fucked.

Not only that, but we were supposed to be bombed in the next 13 years so all of the future soldiers who drove around in cars during the war would be driving cars from around this time anyhow.

As the Terminator sustains more more damage throughout the film, You can actually see some very distinct the differences in both the puppets, and the make up. After the police shooting the living tissue is dead that’s why the make up is very pale and it looks like the skin is hanging off his head. At this point the Terminator is a robot wearing a rotting corpse for skin. Hence the smell.

Terminator 2 is an absolute masterpiece, it carries the story that much further and has so many more aspects to it that really flesh out the characters. The special FX still hold up today as with Predator, Robocop and Jurassic Park. The music is on point and the ending is truly epic and very poignant. It delves into every aspect of humanity from selflessness to family and revenge to redemption. I hope you two watch it very soon as it will change the way you see films and how they are supposed to be done.

[@arskakarva7474]

When the T-800 removes its damaged eyeball, that's actually a rubber puppet made by Stan Winston (a legendary visual effects artist who passed away in 2008, this movie was also his big break; he also made the Predator head for the Predator) since they obviously couldn't have Arnold scalpeling his own eye. The puppet's actually still around, but it looks like a mummified corpse nowadays due to rubber decay. Two small details that you can notice is that the T-800's eyebrows burn off when it jumps through the fire at the start of the chase out of the club (this is why it starts wearing sunglasses, to hide that it no longer has eyebrows), another is that Arnold's given paler make-up in scenes after the assault on the police station. It's also why the motel owner asks about the smell and flies are crawling all of the T-800's face: The T-800's organic surface layer has died from the damage it has sustained and is rotting. EDIT: Also the time paradox involves more than just John Connor and the picture. Remember what Reese called the unit model of the Terminator? Cyberdyne Systems Model 101. It isn't included in the final cut, but there's a deleted scene in the morning when Sarah is being taken to the ambulance, where the factory's owners go about recovering the pieces of the T-800 and looking at a computer chip and wondering if it's from Japan. The deleted scene ends with a pan up to reveal the company's name: Cyberdyne Systems. Skynet also exists because the T-800 was sent back in time.

[@fastony9659]

Kyle explaining to Sarah the what, who, and how of the situation when they first meet is one of the greatest uses of exposition in an action film. He's literally spilling out what his mission and statement is, while blazing through the streets of L.A. trying to dodge their killer. You get a hefty, direct explanation of why the movie exists, while being transported to the next scene, cutting for time, and all the while being an action scene itself. Terminator 1 and 2 are such good examples of how to pace action films.

Also at one point they wanted Arnold to play Reese since he was always in the hero roles, but both James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger felt it was a dumb idea, because then he would have to find someone bigger than Arnold to play the villain. But both of them felt that Arnold related much more to the Terminator and Cameron called up his own agent and immediately cast him in the title role.

I had to pull a metal splinter from a grinding wheel out of my eye once, got through the safety goggles. Everytime I blinked it tore the underside of my eyelid. No insurance and it was a long bus ride getting home to where my medkit was. It was a short shard, tiny, but embedded in the white sclera, and I had to use my needle thin tweezers to get a grip. Poking twin needles at my eye made me shake and sweat, compounding the difficulty of using a mirror to try to see my own eyeball up close with a bleeding eyelid. It came out fine, and I had antibiotic eye drops in my kit for a few days while it healed. So, no lasting worries. But, that scene where the Terminator is poking at his false eye always makes me remember the desperate cringe of that moment. Desperate. Sucked.

[@Cognizant1]

Terminator 2 is one of the best sci-fi movies ever made, and one of my favorite movies of all time. Looking forward to you guys' reaction to that one.

"The Terminator": The Hero's Journey of Sarah Connor, assisted by Tech Sgt. Kyle Reece. 22:13 At "Movies with Mary," she began singing a "nursery rhyme-like" song counting down the 30 Cops like "100 Bottles of Beer on the Wall." 27:40 Ask the old folks about how fast wartime romances develop, even in dire circumstances. 32:15 The Stop Action Terminator is nightmare fuel. 32:30 Sarah's Inner Commander comes out. 35:17 Obsolete technology on display. That's an Eastman Kodak Kodamatic 940 that used Kodak Instant Picture Film. Developed with Fuji, this "took a bite out of Polaroid's market." Miffed, Polaroid terminated Kodak Instant Film before "going away like Pontiac." Fuji made a deal to "keep it domestic," which became the Instax system. This is why Practical Effects are better than DFX/CGI; it just looks this side of Real. By the way, get on the Commercial Towing Vehicle "Nostromo," and see what Jennifer Lawrence didn't know about. "Alien" (1979): In space no one can hear you scream...

Do you want to know a funny fact? The scene where Arnold and the doctor pass each other in the police Lobby is ironic because both of those actors are the only ones who were in all three of the Terminator movies❤

I saw T2 in theaters with my dad and brother, its is one of the best sequels if not the best I ever seen

[@topi85]

You should watch The Rock from 1996, great action movie with Sean Connery and Nicolas Cage!

[@ketulu]

I can't wait for you 2 to see the sequel, a master piece

[@tonyb6354]

Another great James Cameron movie to check out, also starring Arnie is, True lies. It's brilliant. 👍

This came out in theaters when I was in high school. It's hard to overstate what a massive film this was. Violent action movies like this with the fast edits and the pumped up sound really got started in the 80s. Before Miami Vice, most movie shootouts (other than war movies) had guys with handguns and maybe shotguns. Cops often had .38 revolvers. But this movie went over the top. You just didn't see a whole precinct of cops get wasted with high powered weapons like that. I had to sneak into the movie theater to go see it on the big screen. Pretty much wore out our VHS copy of it, along with Scarface and Aliens. (Speaking of Aliens, you need to see that if you are a Cameron fan. Best movie he ever made.)

[@BoboftheOldeWays]

What I love about y’all’s reactions is that your facial expressions during the movies you watch are so expressive, but your commentary is so low key. You can’t hide your real emotions. We see you. Anyway, I agree with everyone else: Terminator 2 is one of the best sequels ever made, is arguably better than the first, and is still considered one of the best American action movies of all time. Do NOT look up anything about it, not even a blurb you’d get on the DVD or online rental. Those things will spoil the movie right up front. Those of us who saw it in theaters had the plot ruined for us by trailers. We want to spare you that pain.

Terminator 1 will always be my favorite, although they are both great. The original could use a digitally updated version for the few scenes where the effects are outdated, just so modern viewers can fully enjoy the story without being pulled out of it.

[@michelegraham1181]

I like the gritty and grainy look of the original. Even with the outdated graphics. It's got a certain aesthetic that reminds me of an 80's comic book. Even the stop-motion Terminator was terrifying. I wouldn't change a thing.

[@Taj_Rahine]

@@michelegraham1181 I like it too, I would like to have both versions.

[@15blackshirt]

This and Conan the Barbarian helped launch Arnold Schwarzenegger's film career. More of his movies to watch are Commando, The Running Man, Twins, Red Heat, Total Recall, Kindergarten Cop, Terminator 2, Last Action Hero, True Lies, Eraser and the bodybuilding docudrama Pumping Iron

[@jamesmorant1406]

No question he's my favorite action star

[@jamesosteen09]

Gotta watch T2 ...to this day still one of the best sci/fi action films of all time.

[@GForce_ART]

T2. One of the best films ever made. Ya gotta

[@watsonsd1]

Reese, looking at her picture, always wondered, he said, what she was thinking at that moment. We know from the closing scene of the film that she was talking about him.

[@sethheasley9538]

Terminator is much more of a horror movie than T2 is. But T2 is a great action movie. One of the all time best.

[@TheOldGamerMan]

I love watching young people watch old movies and comment on the style, tech, etc. Its so entertaining to me

[@drakethedragon3164]

38 is NOT old.

[@nataliefaust7959]

T2... one of the best movies of all time. Can't wait!

[@jhilal2385]

At the beginning, of the film Reese tells Sarah that the Terminator is a "Cyberdyne Systems Model 101". At the end, the sign outside factory that they hide in and squash the terminaator says "Cyberdyne Systems"

[@JoeCensored]

In the early 80's Arnold was famous for weight lifting and playing Conan the Barbarian, but he wasn't top tier A list yet. That's why he would take a low budget villain role with few speaking lines. As luck would have it, this role would become his most famous when Terminator 2 hit theaters.

Fun fact the voice on the answering machine is James Cameron!
