The Terminator series is an American science-fiction franchise created by James Cameron. It encompasses a series of films, comics, novels, and additional media concerning battles between Skynet's synthetic intelligent machine network, and John Connor's Resistance forces.
We made a huge video exploring the philosophical musings, narrative and immense production process of the first Terminator film (links in the description).
Moving the series forward, Terminator 2 has long been regarded by many as one of the best action flicks of all time and one of the greatest sequels ever made. In it an advanced cybernetic assassin (identical to the one who failed to kill Sarah Connor in the first film) must now protect her son from a more advanced and powerful Terminator.
By looking closer, we can really appreciate the finesse which James Cameron and his team brought to the project-both in the narrative and technical department. And given the very dark fate of where the series now is, it’s no wonder why this movie has stood the test of time.
Hey guys what is happening? Niyat here with film comics explained! And today, we’re exploring the legacy of Terminator 2: Judgement Day. James Cameron’s heart thumping sci-fi action blockbuster, starring Linda Hamilton, Edward Furlong, Joe Morton, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Robert Patrick as the T-1000.

YES! T2 content!!!
Are you going to do the time travel senerio from avengers endgame filmcomicsexplained?
Sad
can you do one of these video's about terminator annihilation line
L P 9lo
This should have been a movie trilogy, the original from 1984, the 1991 Judgement Day sequel, and a third movie set in the final days or weeks of the war against Skynet, ending with the departure of the time travellers to close the loop. And that's it.
I have been saying that for years. Although, they could have EASILY made a trilogy of films in the future war, starting with the beginning with SKYNET going online and starting the war. Then you got John rescuing the survivors and forming Tech Com and eventually the final movie would close the loop with SKYNET's destruction and the 4 time travelers go back in time (Kyle,1984 Arnold, 1995 Arnold, T-1000).
Well the underrated Terminator: Resistance videogame basicly is just that...
I would have loved a true follow up to T2, made by Cameron after Titanic for a smaller budget. No Arnold, no time travel. The story would take place in the year 2005 and would follow a Sarah Connor on the run as a fugitive from the FBI. She is taking down AI developers linked to Cyberdyne Systems. She gains knowledge of a sister company and destroys it, but is wounded in the process as the agents are closing in. She eventually has a final battle with a Terminator more advanced than ever before, before finally blowing it up and ending judgment day. The FBI are closing in and Connor pulls out a picture of John and cries her eyes out. The camera fades and we don’t know what happens after. If she dies from her wounds or the FBI catch her.
Agreed completely
Agree 100%!
My kids are finally old enough to watch this with me and, their minds were blown. I hope younger generations watch these classics and enjoy them, the visuals still hold up.
I’ve still got a few years to go before I show my kids T2, but it’s a day I am honestly looking forward to. I’m glad your kids enjoyed, it is truly a masterpiece, and they have a good taste in movies 👍🏻
I watched this as a preteen.
I watched this when I was 8
I was about 10 when I watched that movie. I flashed back to my own experience. That was so long ago.
Finally old enough?
This is one of the greatest sci fi sequels of all time and a huge part of my childhood I am beyond happy to see you analyzing this masterpiece of a film.
It's such a good sequel that you can watch it as a stand-alone movie and walk away fully satisfied
@@SlimeBlueMS facts man facts.
Movies like this are not made anymore and T2 is the absolute pinicle of them. A solid story with actual characters and character development. Menacing chase sequences which feel dreadful and intense without becoming redundant. The classic Cameron formule, but I'll never grow tired of them
I've watched this movie like 30 times and I never get tired of it
I’ve seen it hundreds of times and I feel the same way!
I've seen it over 90 times...
Billy Idol, yes THE Billy Idol was considered to play the T1000 in Terminator 2, but got into a motorcycle accident, and had to drop out. They even had early preproduction storyboards with his likeness.
“I owe it all to Billy Idol and Harley Davidson.”
- Robert Patrick
*tfw there is a universe where we had billy idol as the T1000*
Who
Thank god it turned out differently
As much as I like Robert Patrick's performance, I think having Michael Biehn play the T-1000 would have been interesting as well.
Seeing what became of computer effects in the subsequent 30 years, I have always been grateful that T2 was made when it was--not earlier, because it couldn't have been, but also not later, because there would have been the temptation to use nothing but CGI. The blend was perfect, and it still looks great today. Best action film ever? I think so, but I'd entertain arguments.
The only argument I'd make is that it's a hard choice between this movie, Aliens, and Die Hard.
Terminator 3 is a primary example of why CGI will never be a replacement for the creative use of Special effects.
The liquid nitrogen freezing the t 100 and it melting and reforming is an absolutely fantastic scene.
Miles Dyson's death broke my heart, he was a very well-written character.
Exactly I felt so sad when he cooperated with them 😢
Fun fact Robert Patrick chasing bike on foot they had to tell him to slow down running after it. quoted by staff as “he was hauling ass!” My man really ran fast af I heard.
Also he trained really hard so he could just breath through his nose when running. Watch him chasing after John on the bike or the car at the hospital escape scene. His mouth isn’t open but his is as you say hauling arse.
Hilarious that he said “Given the Dark Fate of the franchise today”. Nice little pun. Great video.
We've never been told how heavy T 100 is, it's solid metal (in liquid form), but Arnie has tissue and hollow parts. For all we know he might be heavier than Arnie, regardless of his small default frame
Depends on the density of the material they are made of, I guess. As far as we know, both are a form of alloy. If it's the same alloy, then yes, Arnie's skeletal structure would most likely be lighter than the T-1000's solid form.
Imagine if they were built with vibranium or adamantium,
Yeah I know different universe but damn
The Terminator TV series “The Sarah Conor chronicles” did somewhat cover the material they were made of as an ally called “Coltan”. Not sure if it’s a real alloy though.
If you’re a fan of the movies, the first series and some of the second are great at exploring the lore.
@@richiec7815 Oh yea, I remember watching that series a long time ago. It was pretty good but I think it got discontinued without being concluded.
@@richiec7815 coltan is a real material. Extremely heat resistant, which was by design. A terminator with a coltan alloy would not melt if thrown into a vat of melted metal.
However, they're not PURE Coltan. Coltan is relatively fragile and you'd need about 6 inches of coltan plating to stop a low caliber bullet. A pure Coltan Terminator would be turned to dust by a single stick of TNT.
Holy crap, that handshake between Arny and Linda at the end... Powerful stuff man. Another video knocked out of the park FCE. Keep up the good work 👍.
Much appreciated!
I've been patiently waiting for you to do this one. Judgment Day by far has been one of if not THE best sequel movies in cinema history. It did everything correctly, and the T1000 lives on iconicly as one of the greatest Terminators of the franchise. And it set a precedent for every Terminator to follow.
However the most brilliant scene in the whole movie is when the Gun clinks casually against the metal bars after he morphs through them. Absolutely badass in every way.
Agree on that one, it made the scene realistic within normalcy in a sci-fi movie (if it made any sense 😉)
the T-1000 is able to pass through the bars but the gun, since it is not part of it, retains its structure thus it has to be maneuvered in between the bars for it go from one side to the other
I have seen this film so many times and I could watch it again right now, this is a masterpiece. Another great video about another great film.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@filmcomicsexplained as always, mate.
Terminator 2 is one of the best action movies of all time. Period. The sequels after T2 don’t exist in my eyes.
Agreed
Anything after this movie is fan fiction. No disrespect to fans.
5:49, James Cameron said In an interview "If the Terminator is a Sherman Tank, then the T-1000 is a Jaguar or Ferrari."
The special features with deleted scenes was awesome, like when they removed his cpu and reprogrammed him to be more human explained why he started saying no problemo and hasta la vista
Well, technically they just flipped the read-only to read-write switch 😜
@@varianbohling251 - Thanks for connecting those dots for us, Sophocles.
Also the phrase “are we learning yet”
Really enjoy when you add things that we didn’t know about or notice just by watching the movies. I prefer this method over just recapping the movie
I was a nuclear target analyst in the Army (a chemical officer) and appreciated how accurate the nuclear device detonation scene was. First the radiation and thermal effects before the shockwave (probably in a mach stem by the time it hits). The low airburst was just how we targeted devices back in the day. My only quibble was that there would not be enough thermal radiation to totally carbonize a human. We have far too much water to boil away for that. I often wonder what yield they thought they were portraying. I'd say in the megaton range judging by the effects.
Maybe it was Sarah Conner’s vision of a nuclear blast as it was a dream sequence? Or maybe it was a mistake by James Cameron’s part... either way, great movie nonetheless
Unlike you, Sarah might not have been unaware of the effects of a nuclear blast. So her dreams might not be scientifically accurate.
How do you knowe ?
For me T2 is a masterpiece! It has everything you want from a movie and it still holds up till this day! I would rank it up there in the top 5 if not top 3 of best films ever made in the history of film making, that might be a bold statement but its almost 30+ years old and to this day people still watches it time and time again!
No,, it was the only one. Its a prototype. Any other infomation is wrong and a mistake by the author.
I agree. I feel like it the one of the best movies ever made
This is literally my favourite film made. One of the few I can watch over and over without getting bored
This movie is a masterpeice enough said.
This and ALIENS are the best Sci-fi Action movies ever made!
😬😬😬
Both directed by James Cameron. 😬 😬
Truuuue!!
I would politely add Predator
Damn right
I'd love to see you go further into the T-1000 and it's specific characteristics across the franchise. More specifically it'd be great to hear you delve into how Skynet did not mass produce the T-1000's because of their ability to go rogue easily and become self aware in their own right. You can even see the T-1000 beginning to actually form emotions, not a facsimile of emotion, but actual emotions. You can see Robert's T-1000 slowly display certain hints of emotions like amusement, annoyance, and the such.
But why spend all that time and resources making something that could possibly be Skynet's downfall? Skynet invented the polyalloy so shouldn't it know it's properties.
@@twistedyogert who says machines aren't capable of making mistakes?
@@nickrivas6429 Humans have flaws and humanity created skynet. We would impart flaws into its very code. Ai’s can be illogical in their logic.
@@twistedyogert It was a calculated risk, Skynet was losing the war at that point and according to it's projections if it could produce as few as 2,000 T-1000 units it could change the war in as little as 6 months. It knew they were dangerous, even to the point of Skynet not really understanding how the T-1000's think due to the nature of their distributed intelligence and acknowledging that it couldn't control them.
There was a comic about a T-1000 wiping out a resistance cell and waiting for "lesser" machines to do the dirty work of actually combing the base for usable intelligence. It then mused that it was basically following Skynets orders because Skynet was the only machine more advanced than it was, musing that even that was a close comparison.
The whole scene basically highlighted that the T-1000's were elitists that viewed themselves as being quite literally superior to other machines and what kind of razors edge Skynet was walking with using them.
@@chrisdupuis2523 does it explain how the T1000 hides it's processor and holds a structure and what is sees as a liquid cyborg essentially??
I'd be curious to know what it sees and where it's CPU is held within its "structure" or does it flow around its body or is it within the entirety of its being, ie. It's entire body is a cpu and physical penetrating into its body merely displaces it rather than punctures it..
I love the extended lore of the T-1000. Especially that of the amazing Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles TV show. The T-1000 is a truly dangerous machine, even to Skynet.
The lore goes that by the very nature of the T-1000 (it doesn't exactly have a learning chip that can be just switched off) it will frequently develop it's own counter plans to Skynet. So even Skynet is kind of afraid of these things. In the TV series the T-1000s end up developing their own splinter faction. That can barely be controlled or understood by any other faction.
I’ve always loved that you can really tell the improvements from the T-800 to the T-1000. The jump from unyielding super tough human hunting tank to Chameleon, laser focused skin walking death clay feels like a logical improvement from a machines perspective. Instead of tweaking the T-800 into the next best thing like a human would they basically scrapped the whole thing and built something new to meet its new standard. Hunting in the past among humans with complex social structures instead of the modern day rebels Skynet has to face.
James really knows what he wants and needs to make a movie moreso a sequel to be better than the first. His timing, planning and meticulous directing really paid off.
22:41 that scene of the puppet's face getting shot up by bullets looked more realistic than the effects we see today
The scene where thy show us Miles Dyson and you imagine him as a cold business man that want to create those machines and, idk, use them for war (ccause that is how they make ti look) but then you see this passionated man working on this futuristi technology being a father and a husband is amazing, something I love on movies is show you something that you dont expect. And the part where Sarah go to kill him and she become somekind of Terminator too is amazing, cause we are talking about what make us humans here and what is the difference bettwen the machines and us, damn, this movie is so amazing.
Imo Terminator 2 not only represented a new chapter and direction for the franchise, but also the introduction of new technology and movie making techniques that are still being used today.
I was terrified of this movie as a kid! So well made and executed....T-1000 was the embodiment of evil to me!
3:24, Jeez! You covered This entire franchise from Top To Bottom. Since 2015.
I most certainly have!
Really loving the longer videos and deep dive into movie pre- and post-production history; youtube is relatively scarce with content creators that do this.
You have done a remarkable job of immersing us in this film, both the story & the telling.
I'm so happy to see how much your channel has grown, so happy for you!! And thank you so much for your videos, they are all brilliant!!!
T2 is a sheer masterpiece...just as this video breakdown is.Amazing work as always.
7:07 I always thought this was a tactical error by the T800. They should have left the T1000 intact and frozen in place. The time to thaw would have been longer as total mass to thermal surface exposure would have have been higher. less area of absorption resulting in longer duration of heatsink.
Same!
I also thought the 800 should’ve walked over and thrown his frozen ass in the lava when incapacitated.
In the original draft of Terminator Salvation Robert Patrick was going to play a scientist studying cell replication to keep people young and Skynet would later base the T-1000's design on this scientist.
Wow that's very interesting. In the new Terminator game called terminator resistance, it is implied that the reason why the T 1000 looks like Robert Patrick is because someone from the human resistance looked like him and the T 1000 made physical contact with him by killing him and eventually infiltrating as him
Anyone else notice how perfectly with just one scratch for every part of the letters in "NO FATE" Sarah carves into the table?
The other sequels don’t exist. This is the final Terminator movie
I love the Wayne's World Cameo
T-1000: "Have you seen this boy?"
Could you cover the film Atlantis: The Lost Empire? The majority of films nowadays. Can't and won't hold a candle to this.
Sure!
What a masterpiece this movie is
I will say. As a kid that my mom brought this home from the videostore. We loved it! This is beyond amazing! Always has been. Amazing what people can do when they are not sucked into the Marvel movie? I miss when movies had great stories or at least something new... Sadly, todays movies do not..
T2 was the pinnacle of movie making, practical effects, stunt work, CGI, a story line that made sense without being condescending, with talented actors and crew to bring it to life.
The proof that Hollywood can make good sequels and good movies, while also being proof that they don’t make them like they used to.
T2 was the first Rated R movie I ever saw. And it will always be awesome.
T2 is one of my all time high movies. love all about it! ❤️
Ty for good content FCE. 👍🏻🤓
Glad you enjoy it!
Nice job! T2 will forever be my fave film of all time!
I have seen this movies over 50 times,this was one of those movies which introduced me to the Hollywood.This is the best action film hands down.The music,The style(specially the shotgun loading),the emotion everything is perfect.
Not only one of the greatest action movies of all time but one of the greatest movies of all time. It truly is
A masterpiece. I still get goosebumps and take a deep breath whenever I watch clips from this movie.
This movie is truly a masterpiece.
*_"It was inevitable that a Terminator sequel would get made. I wanted to make sure that it didn't kinda drift off the concept of what it should be about..."_* - James Cameron
Great videos all the time. What is the name of the ending track that was sourced from Epidemic Sounds? I love that track!!!!
I think Robert Patrick just nailed this role, and doesn't get enough credit. Terrifying and easily held his own against Arnold in his prime, and he was a newer actor.
He didn't blink when firing the pistol in the mall maintenance ways. Just one small detail, and That was awesome. Even Arnold blinked in the first movie noticeably when firing. A machine wouldn't blink or flinch.
T-1000 was truly scary.
Also fun fact in the scene where John is on the bike and the t-1000 is chasing him Robert Patrick ruined a cut by running to fast and catching the bike HE CAUGHT UP TO A SPEEDING BIKE ON FOOT!
@@kiwigaming09 Yes, I read they had to tell Patrick to slow down a bit, as he kept catching up to the towing rig. XD
Forever love T2
A great small thing about this movie is that the T-800 arrives first just like in the first movie. We are also never shown that the T-1000 is a Terminator until they encounter each other. So the entire first part of the movie the audience thinks Arnold is the bad guy.
But the trailers to the movie completely ruined that twist. It also doesn't help that the song bad to the bone is being played when the T 800 gets out of the bar and is riding a motorcycle implying that it's the bad ass hero of the movie
@@meatballmeatwad5730 That's why you should stop watching trailers.
Nothing has topped this. Especially with the extended cuts
This is one of your best Explained uploads yet!!
Terminator 2 is the Greatest sci-fi action movie i have ever seen....hands down....the prequel to The Matrix
This was a great video, that covered a lot of excellent ground on this movie. Great work as always.
In regards to the T-1000, I do want to throw this bit from both the novelization and a supposed interview with James Cameron, something that could have been utilized in some form in a later movie but hasn't: the Director's Cut shows the T-800 explain his CPU is set to Read-Only, so it can't go rogue against Skynet. The novelization expands on this by contrasting this with the T-1000, emphasized as a prototype (something Skynet hid in a box, according to Cameron). Since the T-1000's entire form is liquid, it doesn't have a solid-state CPU with a switch like the T-800, meaning the T-1000 could go rogue. The novelization says that Skynet was actually afraid of the T-1000 for this capability, hence why it was only deployed in a dire contingency. This, in my opinion, would have opened new possibilities and fleshed out the character further.
To any hardcore Terminator fans, I strongly recommend the novelizations for the first two films, written by the talented Randall Frakes (?).
Another masterpiece sir. As always, thanks
I'll say again like I've said it before, when Arnie sacrifices himself for John and the future of mankind I was absolutely weeping when he gave us that thumbs up! 👍 And by the way its his staple to give a great 👍 up classic movie and I'm still impressed by the way special effects are on film and how it is a mind blowing movie that is relevant to this day. Love it
I'm not afraid to admit I shed a tear when I was much younger when watching this for the first time. I distinctly remember rocking a black leather coat, sunglasses and a fake lever action shotgun whenever playing with my sisters. This movie is a classic and will always hold a special place in my heart.
Very well put! Probably the best sci-fi action movie ever made. Certainly my favorite action movie of all time!
One of my all time favourite movies 😁
the time travel works like multi string theory you can only change the future of the time you go to, but not the the timeline you you came from. the machine created was the T.D.E. aka time displacement equipment kyle said they blew up the one he used so that means that the T2 T-800 might have some from another timeline
You're channel and you're video keep getting better and better
Best Terminator film
I have never been itching to hear another mans voice explain the things I love to everyone and me.👨❤💋👨
John Connor's existence is a paradox in itself because his father is from the future, so his existence should have never happened in the first place. Essentially, by the creation of Skynet, they also created the sole Human responsible for the destruction of Skynet ending the war.
*One of my favourite movies of all time*
Rocky and *The Wolverine* (Japan)
R also in them
I always thought the Terminator movies could be classified as Horror in some fashion
Arnold's makeup by the end of the film is to this day gorgeous. I guess it took like something close to six hours to get it on? And the light/battery ended up burning him a bit, lol. But my goodness, I don't think I've ever seen someone or something in his case so busted on film. Just outstanding.
Thank you for this! One of my fondest memories in a theater, and best action sequences to date. Awesome recap!
This was one of THE movies that shaped my childhood. Oh yeah!
"There's no fate, but what we make." Problem is we don't always comprehend it, when we're making our fate.
T2, Aliens, and Star Wars the Empire Strikes Back are the 3 greatest sequels of all time in my opinion. They’re also among the greatest movies of all time as well. I never get tired of watching those three movies.
May I add back to the future 2 to this list?
I just realized the dude that played the T-1000 was the main bad guy in Double Dragon Koga Shugo that's awesome 🤣🤘
My two favorite movies The Dark Knight & T2
But hasn't Filmcomicsexplained done enough videos on the Terminator franchise?
T-800 at the gun shop, Wrong.
Poor Eddie Furlong, puberty hit him so hard during filming.
“Linda Hamilton trained with Uzi Gal”
No way she was trained by the guy that designed the Uzi SMG. Fuckin' awesome.
Simply one of the greatest movies of all time.
You're telling me Linda Hamilton trained with the creator of the Israeli UZI? She's such a badass!
Yep!
The alternate power source for the Terminator at the end of T2, inside the smelting factory, was the heat of the factory itself.
I thought that he had an extra battery. He has a main battery but an extra one in case the first one was damaged or removed.
@@twistedyogert The terminator from T2 and the Terminator from T3 are different models.
I thought it added another layer of sadness for John Connor. He wanted the Terminator to stay, but even if the Terminator itself wanted to, it couldn't.
I agree that she’s somewhat cold and john’s survival is a must, but I can also see that she loves him.
Note: some of the Miles Dyson seems you show are deleted scenes. They’re available on the special edition DVD, but weren’t shown in the theatrical release or in standard TV and movie channel airings.
Hells yeah!
Arnie is an interesting actor. He’s been in some of the most universally panned movies, and conversely some of the most beloved and nostalgia inducing movies ever made. But what I love most about him is the behind the scenes footage. He seems like a lion to me. He’s big, bulky and intimidating but he’s got a warm heart and can be really loving!
I mean, he was governor of California for some time, as a foreigner that’s about as close as you can get to becoming President. He still does a lot of side-activities to boost people’s self-confidence and discipline (something he mastered during his bodybuilding days) and happily drives his own tank smoking a cigar. Awesome guy.
I'll be back that never gets old
"He's a good looking boy."?!
"Can I keep this picture?"?! How did that not toss up any red flags?
Yeah but some people are scared of authority figures, especially when they think they are in the wrong
@@filmcomicsexplained Fair enough.
He was a cop, they didn't think anything weird about it.
I went to the movie theater and saw this when it came out. Man, what a great movie!
This was beautiful. It's more motivation for me, as a writer I also want to make movies. T2 is one of my inspirational gems.
Greatest movie ever made, and hardest to make
I want to say I had a special edition Fantasmagoria about only T2 and the effects. I don’t have it anymore but I recall that magazine being filled with so much amazing stuff. ❤️
Robert Patrick is the boogeyman of the Terminator franchise
Thank you.
I'm so grateful that i was able to see this in theaters as a 12 year old. Hell, back then it didn't matter if it was rated R or not. I watched many R rated movies as a child.
As much as I loved the first movie it terrified me as a child this one...omfg I must had watched it over hundred times and I was still amazed probably even more so today as I was than it's just....a master piece.
love your vids, have seen em all. hated the background music in the intro bro, made it pretty hard to watch. the rest, as ever, was top class . thanks a lot
So the T1000 _could_ learn, and it learned sarcasm. Yay. Damn. Good contrast with Iron Arnie though.
