Well no official release has disclosed the budget, the best guesses not refuted by those involves was around 104 million at the time which would be closer to 242 million today. T1 is around 15 million adjusted. But T2 had about 25 million of the budget going to advertising- which is about 58 million today. Putting filming budget closer to 184.

Yup... that's why there were only ever TWO films in the Terminator series. Some people claim otherwise... but they are just trrying to sell you on Hollywood cash-grabs with bad plots, hammy dialogue, and ever more convoluted timelines.
Because Judgement Day was inevitable. Its(that you cant actually prevent a pas event) covered in various articles about theoretical time travel. One of the reason Ill defend T3 to my grave. 4 was hit and miss with a terrible ending and the rest are just trash.
@@undertow5164 - No it wasn't inevitable. That was answered quite clearly in the first film: Sarah Connor : Are you saying it's from the future? Kyle Reese : One possible future... from your point of view. So that means after T2, Kyle Reese's future still exists, and he STILL saved Sarah and fathered John in 1984. However, after Judgment Day is stopped the timeline he came from would now be just an alternate future from a different timeline where that happened.
@@Mr.Ekshin The short lived TV series made for a better 'sequel' to T2; and that PC FPS game: Terminator:Resistance is a great dose of 'future war' (not to mention, the makers of the game really loved the franchise)./
Fun fact: one needs two hands to fly a helicopter. If you look closely, the T-1000 grows a third arm when flying the helicopter so it can keep shooting.
Would be no point to a sequel to T2. The story has been told to its conclusion. But could you imagine if they did make more after T2!. They would either be boring watching Sarah and John live normal lives doing regular things, or they would be nonsense reconned money grab trash movies. Nope, best that it ended after T2.
@@etlttc353 Right,T3 was the perfect end. If They manage to stop the Judgement Day, they won't be a possible for John in the future to sent his father back in time to met his mother in 1984, and he won't exist. He exist because of the war happen in the future, that make he exist. Other Terminator movie after T3 is useless. Salvation is just a story about what happen in the future. Those 4 film is matters to each other.
Arnold is the same model and design in both films. Then they change things up in Terminator 3, making him a T-850 or some s**t and for no good reason. I would love to see Arnold on the battlefield in the future along with a bunch of other bodybuilders ie Terminators, moving just like the endoskeletons, ready to shoot any human they see
There are two sets of identical twins in this film. The security guard at the vending machine was stabbed by the T1000 played by his brother, and when Sarah is working on Arnies head, they are not in fact looking into a mirror, Linda Hamiltons twin played her 'reflection'. No mirror, so no reflection of the camera in it. One of the cleverest shots ever imo.
In Sarah's dream at the playground, that's not Linda Hamilton playing with the children, it's Leslie Hamilton, her twin sister. She is also in the scene at the end when there are 2 Sarahs in the same shot at the factory ~ Despair.
One of the best, smartest parts of Terminator 2 is how Sarah becomes the thing she hates. She turns into a Terminator, devaluing the Miles Dyson and the effect on his family. I am still seriously annoyed that Linda Hamilton wasnt nominated for Best Actress. Her Sarah Connor is one of the three best, strongest, most iconic female characters ever put on film.
Correction: she *almost* becomes the thing she hates. But she pulls back at the last minute. That's what's so clever about the writing in this sequel. There are so many statements in this film about what differentiates a human from a humanoid machine (or human intelligence from AI, to put it in today's terms). From Arnie's T-800 trying to understand crying and emotions, to the discussions about why killing is wrong (particularly relevant in the context of action movies at the time, as by the early 1990s there had been a lot of controversy about the amount of violence and killing in cinema blockbusters in the late '80s, including several of Arnie's own movies), themes about growth and learning from our past (childhood, fostering, parenthood, etc), to Sarah Connor's journey from cold repression and just being driven for a mission to rediscovering her 'humanity', right down to the little moment where the T-1000 briefly looks at a mannequin trying to work out what it is. The more you watch this film, the more parallels you see being explored or hinted at. It really works on so many levels. And yes, Linda Hamilton carried off her transformation and the role of Sarah Connor excellently here.
It's interesting that neither Ripley nor Connor nor O'Hara are particularly strong woman (especially Scarlett) to begin with. They're all created by circumstances.
54:57 That's part of Cameron's genius. That he can get you screaming at the screen "Will that thing *ever* die??!!" in one movie and crying "NOOO!" over it's demise in the very next.
"This terminator looks like the last one with no explanation." In the television commercials for the movie, they showed an assembly line producing Arnold type terminators. Those shots were also used in the Guns & Roses music video for "You Could be Mine" which was a tie in for this movie as well. All together they were supposed to give the idea of this movie being about multiple Arnolds coming back to kill John Conner and thus reinforce the twist.
@@znk0r You'll note in the original movie one of the infiltrators seen in a flashback had a different face. Same body builder physique. Different assembly lines. Not the worst plot hole in the franchise.
@34:28 "That's not how you turn a computer off" For the time (1991) that's a pretty accurate representation of how you'd turn a computer off. We're talking pre-windows, so the whole shut down/power off from the start menu: that's not a thing. The process back then was literally make sure it's not performing a write operation, then hit the off button.
Fun fact, the foster mother is the same actress that played Vasquez in Aliens, also plays an Irish mother in Titanic. She's quite the chameleon. Also the budget wasn't 3x higher, more like 10x and JC actually pocketed a large portion of the first movies budget by doing guerrilla filmmaking.
Wow! What 5 years and a different hair colour can do. I did not recognise her even though I have seen both movies many times. Now I'm confused. Who is more badass; Jenette Goldstein wielding a huge gun or a sword arm? :D
The symbolism of Arnold using the box of roses to carry the shotgun was a "nod" to the fact that the band Guns and Roses did the soundtrack (which was award winning)
Arnold’s metal skeleton is called a T-800. There are thousands of “skin coverings”; each looking like a different person. Any skin covering that looks like Arnold is a CSM-101(Cyberdyne Systems Model-101). A CSM-102 will look like someone else. A CSM-103 will look like someone else.
You explained almost exactly how I was going to explain about the different models. I don't remember if it was part 3 or 4 that they covered that. However You only answered part of the question of why the terminators look the same. You explained the story reason. But the actual real life reason for that storyline? So they could use Arnold for part 2, part 3, etc. I mean, Arnold is one of the most famous action movie stars EVER. Keeping him in the series makes $en$e.
The trailer also showed the model 101 being manufactured. I seem to remember James Cameron in an interview talking about how test audiences were confused both by another 101 appearing and by the twist of Arnold being good this time. It led them to focus on those points in the advertising, even ruining the reveal.
Robert Patrick practiced running breathing through his nose with his mouth closed at all times without blinking to look more robotic. His T-1000 running is amazing.
The thing to remember with this movie... Is it contains almost no CGI. The Future War start sequence entirely practical apart from the rotoscoped laser shots. They used rear-projection screens in the backgrounds, with sets in the foreground, and filmed the whole thing in-camera. The T-1000, is only CGI when it does things a puppet can't do. They used prosthetics, animatronics, makeup, puppetry, and even resorted to wrapping Robert Patrick in tin-foil and spray paint....... The finale chase scene, they even flew a real helicopter under a real bridge... for real. Fo' reals and ever-thang! This is why T2 and Jurassic Park look so good... because they had talent, experience and hard work involved, real life physics and actual real things on real sets... not just pressing keys on keyboards and letting a computer render everything on a green-screen.
So you obviously have no clue what work it means to do realistic looking CGI. This whole „practical effects are better“ nonsense fools guys like you. Look for the video series „No CGI is really just invisible CGI“. In 1991 they had no other options to use practical effects for the most parts because the tools needed weren’t available.
The guy teaching photos in the mall is the same actor that plays the cop whose car was stolen by Arnie in the first movie. They're the same character, which is why he reacts like he recognises him
@@znk0r No, by that logic if he only touched your arm, he couldn't become your whole body. The functionality clearly extends a certain distance from the point of contact, or it wouldn't be useful.
The special effects were done so well for this movie in the 90's that they stand the test of time and still look good today. Something that is not going to happen with many current movies years from now when they are seen again, because the CGI they did leaves much to be desired. It's always good to combine CGI with practical effects to make it look more realistic. And as you can see, many scenes filmed in a real way, the explosions, the trucks, the helicopters, are no longer filmed today with this level of super-production because it is too expensive and all that was replaced today by CGI, which in my opinion, has not yet evolved to deceive us that we are seeing real scenes, it looks artificial.
the effects were mindblowing for the time. all people were talking about was how amazing it looked. also the actor who played John was from southern California so that's why he pronounced the hispanic words well
Arnie was paid $75,000 for 1984's The Terminator, which turned him into a major action star and launched JC's career as a film maker. For T2, Arnie got $15 million.
The first two Terminator Movies are absolute bangers from start to finish. My favorite line in this movie is when He hands the launcher to the cop and says: "Here hold this" while removing the cops gas mask. rofl!!!! You just hear the cop coughing and falling to the ground as Arnold gets in the vehicle HAHA!!!!!!!
5:58 - the same reason your phone looks exactly like a million other phones: it was made on an assembly line. Sure, they'd need a variety of appearances overall, otherwise people would be able to identify the infiltration units by sight. But you could still have thousands of identical copies without issue. T2 struck a really good balance between the use of practical effects and CGI, something that modern movies should take note of.
You mentioned how Dyson destroying the CPU didn't effect him too much. I always thought that showed his morality very well, he does not hesitate at all to destroy his whole life's work (and even chose to do so while dying) to save the world.
The given reason for the terminators looking the same was that each model number, 101, 102, 103, etc had a different face. The actual IRL reason for this storyline was so that they could use Arnold for T2 and any other sequel. Arnold was and still is one of the biggest action movie stars EVER. That's the real reason.
In the initial Movie House version, the movie showed a camera going down a dark highway as Sarah delivered the "If the terminator can learn it, we can too" speech....fade to black. This version shows her getting to Gramma-hood.
Actually the theatrical ending was less conclusive, you watched the... whatever cut. There's a number of different cuts out there of Terminator 2. Always thought the theatrical version had perfect pacing. Same with the theatrical version of Aliens.
Yeah this is the extended edition with the alternate "super happy" ending. The theatrical ending is the real ending. I think James Cameron even agrees.
The ending in this Version is an alternate ending. The original ending is Sarah holding her monologue by showing the driving on a road in the dark. Meaning the future is not set yet, so it was more an open end
Funny story, but my dad worked in Silicon Valley in the 80s and 90s, and the company he worked for moved into the same commercial park that the Cyberdyne building was in (right next door). We ended up hearing about the movie production, and were camped out in the parking lot, watching Arnold with the mini-gun as Cameron was filming.
The reason why you see the Terminator as Arnold is because he is Model-101 while model-102 looks like somebody else👌 Terminator Salvation shows a T-600 which Reese mentions then the T-800s were new but now in this movie we get to experience Robert Patrick as the T-1000 with the no Eye Blink while shooting and the running while breathing through the nose, he trained well for this role! Absolutely brilliant
So the reason that all the T800 series terminators look like Arnold is because they're made on an assembly line and the genetic material is cloned tissue from the same human.
The teaser trailer for Terminator 2 shows Terminators being made. The metal skeleton is put into a mold, where the human flesh is applied. That explains why that series all look like Arnold.
Terminator 3 was an unnecessary third dip into the same formula IMO. 4 5 and 6 were three separate attempts to start new lines of storytelling, and none of them stuck. Actually after the first 2 films, the short lived TV series The Sarah Connor Chronicles is definitely the best thing.
Yes. I totally agree. They actually gave us a believable female Terminator in Summer Glaus Cameron. Right off the bat, they showed us why it was necessary to make Cameron female. She infiltrated and seduced John with her feminine whiles. And then later, she's perfectly stoic... like Arnold. When she turns and becomes a deadly killing machine again, Cameron actually feels like Robert Patrick's T-1000. The TX was lame. She gave herself a b00b job, but she never does anything with it. It's just part of her aesthetic. And frankly, I still think the T-1000 is more impressive.
T3's downfall was the attempt at injecting humor, but aside from that,still a good story. T4 takes place in the. future. with adult John. After that its just a mess.But yes, The Sarah Chronicles is well. worth the watch
I loved both T3 and Salvation💖💖💖. They were both perfect💖💖💖. Don't understand why they are so hated. You guys are noobs. They were both perfect continuation of the story. And in Salvation sequels we would get to see TONS of advanced future war. But because of you butt hurt haters the film flopped and the sequels never got made.
@@towkirshuvo97 T3 is definitely NOT perfect. Like I pointed out, they tried adding too much humor into it, and it didn't work. Besides that, it was an good continuation, not great but good minus the comedy.
The guy who was taking pictures of Arnold after he was thrown through the glass in the mall was the same actor and supposed to be the same exact cop he stole the cop car from in the original. He was so stunned that he took picture after picture of him because he was supposed to be very surprised to have seen him again.
It's not a mystery. The terminator comes off an assembly line... things that come off an assembly line look the same. Amazes me that people can't put that together.
That's not exactly clear in the first two films. The T-800s are said to be infiltration units, and they would not make very good infiltration units if they all looked the same. We see two different looking T-800 units in the first film - the Arnie model, and the one that infiltrated the bunker and killed everyone in Reece's flashback. They may have the same metal skeleton underneath, but they had different looking flesh parts. It isn't until the later films that we are shown a production line.
Yeah but Kyle said he's a model 101 so logically all 101 look like Arnold. I guess it's a quick line and if you just watch the first movie one time it's not that obvious 😅
@@PhilippeLachance It's one of those things that changed over time and eventually got retconned. Original film merely referred to the Terminator as Model 101 with no reference to that being what the outer skin looked like. Keep in mind that Kyle explicitly says he had to wait for the Terminator to make the first move against Sarah as he didn't know what it looked like. Eventually, the endoskeleton is what became known as the T-800 with Model 101 referring to the outer skin. This is seen in film as the Terminator's HUD at one point displays "Cyberdyne Systems Series 800 Model 101." James Cameron later explains in the T2 commentary that the model number is specifically the outer appearance of a Terminator being used for infiltration rather than a basic footsolider (101 is Arnold, 102 would be someone else, etc.) Logically, that would mean you could have different combinations of endoskeleton and outer skin as we later see with T3 (T-850, Model 101) And while we don't have model numbers applied to various T-1000s seen across the franchise, one would assume that the model number in that case would refer to their default appearance.
@@Enigma1788 yeah I know but still by watching the movies multiple times you can figure it out after a while. That's what I said. It's not obvious the first time watching. But yeah I understand it was not explained and that it wasn't supposed to be that. It is not even mention in the first movie that he is a T800 so the model 101 is probably the model of terminator not his skin.
As I remember it, the thing with the helicopter flying under the bridge was that the camera crew that they had for the movie refused to film it because it was too dangerous. They actually found somebody that would fly the helicopter like that, but the camera crew didn't want to film it. So... there's at least one shot in there where the camera is clearly hanging out of the window of a car following the action and somebody of course would have to be holding the camera shooting that. That would've been James Cameron himself having to shoot that because the film crew wouldn't do it. Somebody actually flew that thing under the bridge and then again when it looks like it's going to hit a bridge and pulls up at the last second to go over it. They don't make movies like that anymore... that would almost certainly be CGI today, and that's part of why movies like this are timeless to look at.
That "somebody" was legendary helicopter pilot Charles Tamburro. He's also playing the guy jumping off after the "Get out!". About 80% (don't quote me on this, that's just how it feels like to me) of helicopters flown in 1980s and 90s movies and TV shows are him or one of his brothers. He did all the flying in the original A-Team and Airwolf TV series. He was the guy having the discussion with the police sharpshooter on the chopper in First Blood. Predator and Predator 2, Die Hard 1 & 3, Commando, True Lies, The Rock, and and and.
"It's easy to tell when the sequel is a cash grab and when it was from the passion of the artist." Yes. That's why many fans consider Terminator 1 and 2 to be the only real movies. Yeah, there are others in the series, but if you stopped here you could live the rest of your life and never be disappointed with a Terminator movie.
Originally, T2 was supposed to be the last movie. James Cameron didn't want to make anymore as he felt it tied up the story. But because of the money the movies made, more movies were made squeeze out more. It was decided that there were different realities in a way. A "multiverse" in a way for the Terminator.
Terminator Dark Fate follows the original ending of T2, the mother and son driving on the motorcycle waiting for the next adventure or another Terminator.
The reason I was confused is becuse in Terminator 1 Kyle says that they used to be able to recognize the cyborgs because they had rubber skin (or something like that) but because they started making them more realistic, it was more difficult to spot them. It's logical to think that if they all looked exactly the same then there wouldn't be an issue with recognition. Making them all look the same is a big give-away. Also, in the flash-forward Kyle has, they showed a Terminator with red eyes (in the refuge) and it doesn't look like Arnold.
@@amandamiquilena You are exactly right. It wouldn't make sense. There are different looking terminators. The internal skeleton is a T-800. The outside model in this one is "model 101". There are other models that look like different people.
there was a terminator series too, it was called 'the sarah connor chronicles' and it happens 5 or 6 years after the theatrical edittion ending of this movie. it was very cool, but it was one of the great series that was killed by the writers strike back then, just like 'heroes'
(When Sarah was explaining how the Terminator sent, would b a positive father-figure) It wasn’t a dig to all men, just the men Sara has chosen to allow in her life.
in the extended edition you also get to see sarah hamiltons twin sister a lot more. That's how they did the pull the CPU from arnie scene in a "mirror".
Sarah Connor had amazing character development from Terminator 1 to Terminator 2. Ripley from the Alien films is another woman with great character development. Sarah Connor wasn’t automatically a badass just because she was a woman(like Rey from the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy). She went through trauma that toughened and motivated her to strive to be the best.
Amanda: If you've seen "The Walking Dead" you may have noticed. Todd - John's foster father - was portrayed by Xander Berkeley. You will then know him as Gregory.
The thing I really love about this is how the RELENTLESS way Arnie kept going, the power reroute, etc, to save them. It shows exactly what he'd be doing to terminate as well.
As a fellow Latino... I cant wait to watch you see Dark Fate. You could actually jump all of the other Terminator movies and go to that. Its supposed to be a continuation of this with no regards for the other films.
Heh, the default portable storage medium in 1991 was a disk capable of holding 1,44 megabytes. In huge corporate projects like those, they would have used big magnetic tapes that hold data equal to several hundred individual disks. I guess CD-ROMs were already around, but big magnetic tapes definitely were still in use. Piles of those large tapes could hold many gigabytes of data in total.
You talked about some of the crew disagreeing with the chopper scene but you didn't include it. It was where the chopper flew under the bridge was a real life & death stunt & some of the film crew didn't wan't to record a mans death so James did & the stunt was pulled off successfully
15:45 the man with the camera is a police officer from the first terminator, the scene when the terminator broke through the windshield of a car with his hand, was thrown off the hood of the car, approached a police car in which a police officer was reporting an accident with a victim, knocked out a police officer by hitting the car and stole a police vehicle
Had to subscribe to your channel after the helicopter chase scene. I've watched a lot of people react to this movie and you're the only one that's ever brought that up about how nuts the the helicopter chase scene is.
So cool she could feel the artistic passion and vision of this movie and the people who worked on it. It really does shine through : ) also this is the perfect end to the story.
I always felt the original ending was perfect with the point of this movie being about going from fate to hope. While the other sequels are meh, I would definitely recommend the Sarah Connor Chronicles show. It was made after 3, but is based (almost) solely on and picks up after 1 and 2 with John as a high schooler. A little slow-developing maybe, but ended up being kinda awesome. A bunch of different storylines, mythology, technical explanations, profound diary entries each episode, maybe even the best job of making the humor hit.
You really wondered how they bring back the Terminator? Go in any big surface story and search for any machine: a drill, a toaster, a cell phone, anything. You will see 400 identical copies of that same machine. 48:03 "it's the leg"? The legs contain major arteries. A gunshot wound is nearly as dangerous as a gunshot would in the chest because of the possible blood lost. 53:58 if the Terminator is feeling an emotion at that moment, that would be distress for being stuck, not pain. There are other movies, but they are cash grabs. Of the other movies, only the third one has the decency of being entertaining.
Skynet basically has countless 'endoskeletons' (The T800 Series) and lots of different 'skin' versions (Arnie's is Model 101) and each skin has countless copies, so Skynet can crank out thousands of Terminators that look like Arnold
They DID do a re-make... of sorts. It was "The Matrix". For Safety, James filmed the Helicopter scene with as few people on set as possible, because he didn't want to CGI the Helicopter going under the bridge (it was also the only way he could get this cleared through the Insurance Company). the Following Sequels were "Money Grabs" for the Studios.
The reason the T-800-Model 101(arnold's Terminator model) all share the same face is because they come off of an assembly line when Skynet makes the Terminators, you learn more about this in T3 Rise of the Machines and in Salvation. There are other T-800's different category modes 102, 103 etc that have different faces but the main T-800 models are Arnold and in some cases not even skinned just sent out in pure endoskeleton form like we see in the distant future war. The ones with skin are used for infiltration missions to blend in with humans. Great reaction Amanda, you're always so cute and into your reactions!
34:45 about that, those silicon valley nitwits have knack of seeing these post apocalypse/dystopia movies and think to themselves: "we should make that"
Cyberdyne Systems is a defense contractor, which means it makes weapons, computers, or military equipment for the government. The government will allow it to keep secrets from the public, and protect those secrets, providing Cyberdyne uses those secrets for the benefit of the government. Since the skeleton and chip were found in its factory, Cyberdyne got first priority on studying the futuristic technology.

"If they manage to destroy this thing in this movie, then what's the point of the rest."
A question people have been asking for a long time now.
Yup... that's why there were only ever TWO films in the Terminator series. Some people claim otherwise... but they are just trrying to sell you on Hollywood cash-grabs with bad plots, hammy dialogue, and ever more convoluted timelines.
Because Judgement Day was inevitable. Its(that you cant actually prevent a pas event) covered in various articles about theoretical time travel. One of the reason Ill defend T3 to my grave. 4 was hit and miss with a terrible ending and the rest are just trash.
@@undertow5164 - No it wasn't inevitable. That was answered quite clearly in the first film:
Sarah Connor : Are you saying it's from the future?
Kyle Reese : One possible future... from your point of view.
So that means after T2, Kyle Reese's future still exists, and he STILL saved Sarah and fathered John in 1984.
However, after Judgment Day is stopped the timeline he came from would now be just an alternate future from a different timeline where that happened.
It's a pre destination paradox.

"The Body's still recognizable, she needed to do more".. LOL
Why is Amanda’s mouth on the left side of her face
Fun fact: one needs two hands to fly a helicopter. If you look closely, the T-1000 grows a third arm when flying the helicopter so it can keep shooting.
Sometimes i also grow an third arm, usually i try to hide it with my other hand, rubbing it usually works.
It actually has 4 arms in the helicopter.

"It has to end here" as the T-800 said to John. And it did end there!
Would be no point to a sequel to T2. The story has been told to its conclusion.
But could you imagine if they did make more after T2!. They would either be boring watching Sarah and John live normal lives doing regular things, or they would be nonsense reconned money grab trash movies.
Nope, best that it ended after T2.
Right there with you.
salvation had great ideas
@@etlttc353 Right,T3 was the perfect end. If They manage to stop the Judgement Day, they won't be a possible for John in the future to sent his father back in time to met his mother in 1984, and he won't exist. He exist because of the war happen in the future, that make he exist. Other Terminator movie after T3 is useless. Salvation is just a story about what happen in the future. Those 4 film is matters to each other.
In both movies when Arnold says he'll be back he's driving through the door with a car :D
Arnold is the same model and design in both films. Then they change things up in Terminator 3, making him a T-850 or some s**t and for no good reason.
I would love to see Arnold on the battlefield in the future along with a bunch of other bodybuilders ie Terminators, moving just like the endoskeletons, ready to shoot any human they see
There are two sets of identical twins in this film. The security guard at the vending machine was stabbed by the T1000 played by his brother, and when Sarah is working on Arnies head, they are not in fact looking into a mirror, Linda Hamiltons twin played her 'reflection'. No mirror, so no reflection of the camera in it. One of the cleverest shots ever imo.
Linda and her sister also showed up in the shot where John has to decide between his mother and the Liquid Metal terminator imitating his mother.
Linda Hamilton's twin also played Sarah in the dream sequence playing with the children in the playground.
Identical twins are also reacting to this vid, although one is shy.
Sarah's twin is also dancing in the club in the first movie
Linda's twin looks way less identical then the brothers. And sadly she passed away this year.
In Sarah's dream at the playground, that's not Linda Hamilton playing with the children, it's Leslie Hamilton, her twin sister. She is also in the scene at the end when there are 2 Sarahs in the same shot at the factory ~ Despair.
She's also one of the dancers in the first movie
It's funny how people always wonder how the terminator could come back, it just never occurs to them that more than one could be made.
Anyway its not best idea to use look of huge bodybuilder as camo in world where humans not have much food.
@@Velantegold stock, humans made those & skynet is just using them up. At least that's how I plug that plot hole in my brain.
@@areskristoffer No, they made by Skynet but it have trouble with size. Effective combat platform was just not fit into small body.
One of the best, smartest parts of Terminator 2 is how Sarah becomes the thing she hates. She turns into a Terminator, devaluing the Miles Dyson and the effect on his family. I am still seriously annoyed that Linda Hamilton wasnt nominated for Best Actress. Her Sarah Connor is one of the three best, strongest, most iconic female characters ever put on film.
Correction: she *almost* becomes the thing she hates. But she pulls back at the last minute.
That's what's so clever about the writing in this sequel. There are so many statements in this film about what differentiates a human from a humanoid machine (or human intelligence from AI, to put it in today's terms). From Arnie's T-800 trying to understand crying and emotions, to the discussions about why killing is wrong (particularly relevant in the context of action movies at the time, as by the early 1990s there had been a lot of controversy about the amount of violence and killing in cinema blockbusters in the late '80s, including several of Arnie's own movies), themes about growth and learning from our past (childhood, fostering, parenthood, etc), to Sarah Connor's journey from cold repression and just being driven for a mission to rediscovering her 'humanity', right down to the little moment where the T-1000 briefly looks at a mannequin trying to work out what it is. The more you watch this film, the more parallels you see being explored or hinted at. It really works on so many levels.
And yes, Linda Hamilton carried off her transformation and the role of Sarah Connor excellently here.
OK. So, Sarah Connor and Ellen Ripley. Who's the third?
@@lionlyons Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O'Hara
the guy playing miles dyson was the best actor he outshone everybody
It's interesting that neither Ripley nor Connor nor O'Hara are particularly strong woman (especially Scarlett) to begin with. They're all created by circumstances.
“What medication did she take cause I want some of that” you are priceless
54:57 That's part of Cameron's genius. That he can get you screaming at the screen "Will that thing *ever* die??!!" in one movie and crying "NOOO!" over it's demise in the very next.
One of the greatest movies to get beer and snacks and just relax
"This terminator looks like the last one with no explanation."
In the television commercials for the movie, they showed an assembly line producing Arnold type terminators. Those shots were also used in the Guns & Roses music video for "You Could be Mine" which was a tie in for this movie as well. All together they were supposed to give the idea of this movie being about multiple Arnolds coming back to kill John Conner and thus reinforce the twist.
Come to think of it it's kind of stupid considering they are "infiltration" models...them all looking the same is quite the flaw.
@@znk0r It's a big world out there. Lots of room to send 50 or maybe 500 Arnold-looking models to different ruined cities and hideouts.
@@znk0r You'll note in the original movie one of the infiltrators seen in a flashback had a different face. Same body builder physique. Different assembly lines. Not the worst plot hole in the franchise.
@34:28
"That's not how you turn a computer off"
For the time (1991) that's a pretty accurate representation of how you'd turn a computer off.
We're talking pre-windows, so the whole shut down/power off from the start menu: that's not a thing.
The process back then was literally make sure it's not performing a write operation, then hit the off button.
In another 30 years, people watching movies from the 1990s will probably not recognize a desktop computer.
Fun fact, the foster mother is the same actress that played Vasquez in Aliens, also plays an Irish mother in Titanic. She's quite the chameleon. Also the budget wasn't 3x higher, more like 10x and JC actually pocketed a large portion of the first movies budget by doing guerrilla filmmaking.
Oh shit. I didn't know that. Cool.
Anyway, its Bill Paxton who got achievement of being killed by all Terminator, Aliens and Predator.
Wow! What 5 years and a different hair colour can do. I did not recognise her even though I have seen both movies many times.
Now I'm confused. Who is more badass; Jenette Goldstein wielding a huge gun or a sword arm? :D
I didn't know it was the same actress😅 that's crazy I also watched both movie multiple times but she look so different I didn't recognize her.😮
The symbolism of Arnold using the box of roses to carry the shotgun was a "nod" to the fact that the band Guns and Roses did the soundtrack (which was award winning)
Arnold’s metal skeleton is called a T-800. There are thousands of “skin coverings”; each looking like a different person. Any skin covering that looks like Arnold is a CSM-101(Cyberdyne Systems Model-101). A CSM-102 will look like someone else. A CSM-103 will look like someone else.
You explained almost exactly how I was going to explain about the different models. I don't remember if it was part 3 or 4 that they covered that.
However
You only answered part of the question of why the terminators look the same. You explained the story reason. But the actual real life reason for that storyline? So they could use Arnold for part 2, part 3, etc.
I mean, Arnold is one of the most famous action movie stars EVER. Keeping him in the series makes $en$e.
I was typing a comment basically saying that but you have done it so much better so I gave up 👍
@@danielg6566T3 extras, William Candy
The trailer also showed the model 101 being manufactured. I seem to remember James Cameron in an interview talking about how test audiences were confused both by another 101 appearing and by the twist of Arnold being good this time. It led them to focus on those points in the advertising, even ruining the reveal.
Robert Patrick practiced running breathing through his nose with his mouth closed at all times without blinking to look more robotic. His T-1000 running is amazing.
The thing to remember with this movie...
Is it contains almost no CGI.
The Future War start sequence entirely practical apart from the rotoscoped laser shots.
They used rear-projection screens in the backgrounds, with sets in the foreground, and filmed the whole thing in-camera.
The T-1000, is only CGI when it does things a puppet can't do.
They used prosthetics, animatronics, makeup, puppetry, and even resorted to wrapping Robert Patrick in tin-foil and spray paint.......
The finale chase scene, they even flew a real helicopter under a real bridge... for real.
Fo' reals and ever-thang!
This is why T2 and Jurassic Park look so good... because they had talent, experience and hard work involved, real life physics and actual real things on real sets... not just pressing keys on keyboards and letting a computer render everything on a green-screen.
They actually flew the helicopter under the bridge twice
So you obviously have no clue what work it means to do realistic looking CGI. This whole „practical effects are better“ nonsense fools guys like you. Look for the video series „No CGI is really just invisible CGI“. In 1991 they had no other options to use practical effects for the most parts because the tools needed weren’t available.
The guy teaching photos in the mall is the same actor that plays the cop whose car was stolen by Arnie in the first movie. They're the same character, which is why he reacts like he recognises him
Not only is Terminator 2 one of the Top 3 sequels ever made, T2 is quite possibly the greatest action film ever made.
I think Die Hard with Bruce Willis is on par with Terminator 2 for great action! If you haven't seen it I know you will love it!
Also another Cameron's work - Aliens.
@@JasonRule-1Die Hard is a brilliant movie, but lets be honest, the action doesn't even come remotely close to Terminator 2.
@@JasonRule-1 I prefer T2 to Die Hard personally. But I agree. I'm not even sure why they kept making movies after T2, it's perfect.
@@justincrowley8787 I agree with you about T2.
"He is not touching him". He stepped on it's face. One touch is enough.
That's kinda weird right? He touched a shoe, he should have turned in to a shoe.
@@znk0r From History of the World Part 1: Josephus : "Don't be square, mon cher! Movies is magic!"
@@znk0r No, by that logic if he only touched your arm, he couldn't become your whole body. The functionality clearly extends a certain distance from the point of contact, or it wouldn't be useful.
He clearly polished his shoes.....more than likely he touched the bottom of the shoe while doing so
The special effects were done so well for this movie in the 90's that they stand the test of time and still look good today. Something that is not going to happen with many current movies years from now when they are seen again, because the CGI they did leaves much to be desired. It's always good to combine CGI with practical effects to make it look more realistic. And as you can see, many scenes filmed in a real way, the explosions, the trucks, the helicopters, are no longer filmed today with this level of super-production because it is too expensive and all that was replaced today by CGI, which in my opinion, has not yet evolved to deceive us that we are seeing real scenes, it looks artificial.
Loved that you complimented Edward Furlong's pronunciation of Nicaragua haha
the effects were mindblowing for the time. all people were talking about was how amazing it looked. also the actor who played John was from southern California so that's why he pronounced the hispanic words well
They're still stunning at times
Arnie was paid $75,000 for 1984's The Terminator, which turned him into a major action star and launched JC's career as a film maker. For T2, Arnie got $15 million.
The first two Terminator Movies are absolute bangers from start to finish. My favorite line in this movie is when He hands the launcher to the cop and says: "Here hold this" while removing the cops gas mask. rofl!!!! You just hear the cop coughing and falling to the ground as Arnold gets in the vehicle HAHA!!!!!!!
5:58 - the same reason your phone looks exactly like a million other phones: it was made on an assembly line. Sure, they'd need a variety of appearances overall, otherwise people would be able to identify the infiltration units by sight. But you could still have thousands of identical copies without issue.
T2 struck a really good balance between the use of practical effects and CGI, something that modern movies should take note of.
You mentioned how Dyson destroying the CPU didn't effect him too much.
I always thought that showed his morality very well, he does not hesitate at all to destroy his whole life's work (and even chose to do so while dying) to save the world.
"How? How could they bring him back? He was crushed in the last movie....so how?"
Well, the Terminator is a machine and machines can be mass produced.
😂😂" I want some of that medication."
15:45 the guy "recording" with an actual camera is actually the cop from T1 that gets car-headed :D
The given reason for the terminators looking the same was that each model number, 101, 102, 103, etc had a different face.
The actual IRL reason for this storyline was so that they could use Arnold for T2 and any other sequel. Arnold was and still is one of the biggest action movie stars EVER.
That's the real reason.
In the initial Movie House version, the movie showed a camera going down a dark highway as Sarah delivered the "If the terminator can learn it, we can too" speech....fade to black. This version shows her getting to Gramma-hood.
Enrique is a prepper, he believes her
The scientists say the nuke recreation in this movie is the most accurate of any movie even till today
Actually the theatrical ending was less conclusive, you watched the... whatever cut. There's a number of different cuts out there of Terminator 2. Always thought the theatrical version had perfect pacing. Same with the theatrical version of Aliens.
Yeah this is the extended edition with the alternate "super happy" ending. The theatrical ending is the real ending. I think James Cameron even agrees.
The ending in this Version is an alternate ending. The original ending is Sarah holding her monologue by showing the driving on a road in the dark. Meaning the future is not set yet, so it was more an open end
Funny story, but my dad worked in Silicon Valley in the 80s and 90s, and the company he worked for moved into the same commercial park that the Cyberdyne building was in (right next door).
We ended up hearing about the movie production, and were camped out in the parking lot, watching Arnold with the mini-gun as Cameron was filming.
The reason why you see the Terminator as Arnold is because he is Model-101 while model-102 looks like somebody else👌 Terminator Salvation shows a T-600 which Reese mentions then the T-800s were new but now in this movie we get to experience Robert Patrick as the T-1000 with the no Eye Blink while shooting and the running while breathing through the nose, he trained well for this role! Absolutely brilliant
You did it Amanda. This movie will now always be ingrained in your soul.
You're probably right haha. Thank you for the super thanks! :D
52:26 As mentioned in Sarah's inner monologue earlier, the Terminator died to protect John.
So the reason that all the T800 series terminators look like Arnold is because they're made on an assembly line and the genetic material is cloned tissue from the same human.
The teaser trailer for Terminator 2 shows Terminators being made. The metal skeleton is put into a mold, where the human flesh is applied. That explains why that series all look like Arnold.
Terminator 3 was an unnecessary third dip into the same formula IMO. 4 5 and 6 were three separate attempts to start new lines of storytelling, and none of them stuck. Actually after the first 2 films, the short lived TV series The Sarah Connor Chronicles is definitely the best thing.
Yes. I totally agree. They actually gave us a believable female Terminator in Summer Glaus Cameron. Right off the bat, they showed us why it was necessary to make Cameron female. She infiltrated and seduced John with her feminine whiles. And then later, she's perfectly stoic... like Arnold. When she turns and becomes a deadly killing machine again, Cameron actually feels like Robert Patrick's T-1000.
The TX was lame. She gave herself a b00b job, but she never does anything with it. It's just part of her aesthetic. And frankly, I still think the T-1000 is more impressive.
T3's downfall was the attempt at injecting humor, but aside from that,still a good story. T4 takes place in the. future. with adult John. After that its just a mess.But yes, The Sarah Chronicles is well. worth the watch
I loved both T3 and Salvation💖💖💖. They were both perfect💖💖💖. Don't understand why they are so hated. You guys are noobs. They were both perfect continuation of the story. And in Salvation sequels we would get to see TONS of advanced future war. But because of you butt hurt haters the film flopped and the sequels never got made.
@@towkirshuvo97 Didnt say I hated Salvation either, I said it didnt stick so they didnt continue it.
@@towkirshuvo97 T3 is definitely NOT perfect. Like I pointed out, they tried adding too much humor into it, and it didn't work. Besides that, it was an good continuation, not great but good minus the comedy.
Edward Furlong (John) was 14, playing a 10 year old-
Movie was released in 91, but set in 94..
The guy who was taking pictures of Arnold after he was thrown through the glass in the mall was the same actor and supposed to be the same exact cop he stole the cop car from in the original. He was so stunned that he took picture after picture of him because he was supposed to be very surprised to have seen him again.
There are only 2 terminator movies!
For the year this was made the CGI is groundbreaking. Not to mention very creative.
It's not a mystery. The terminator comes off an assembly line... things that come off an assembly line look the same. Amazes me that people can't put that together.
That's not exactly clear in the first two films. The T-800s are said to be infiltration units, and they would not make very good infiltration units if they all looked the same. We see two different looking T-800 units in the first film - the Arnie model, and the one that infiltrated the bunker and killed everyone in Reece's flashback. They may have the same metal skeleton underneath, but they had different looking flesh parts. It isn't until the later films that we are shown a production line.
Yeah but Kyle said he's a model 101 so logically all 101 look like Arnold. I guess it's a quick line and if you just watch the first movie one time it's not that obvious 😅
@@PhilippeLachance It's one of those things that changed over time and eventually got retconned.
Original film merely referred to the Terminator as Model 101 with no reference to that being what the outer skin looked like. Keep in mind that Kyle explicitly says he had to wait for the Terminator to make the first move against Sarah as he didn't know what it looked like.
Eventually, the endoskeleton is what became known as the T-800 with Model 101 referring to the outer skin. This is seen in film as the Terminator's HUD at one point displays "Cyberdyne Systems Series 800 Model 101." James Cameron later explains in the T2 commentary that the model number is specifically the outer appearance of a Terminator being used for infiltration rather than a basic footsolider (101 is Arnold, 102 would be someone else, etc.)
Logically, that would mean you could have different combinations of endoskeleton and outer skin as we later see with T3 (T-850, Model 101)
And while we don't have model numbers applied to various T-1000s seen across the franchise, one would assume that the model number in that case would refer to their default appearance.
@@Enigma1788 yeah I know but still by watching the movies multiple times you can figure it out after a while. That's what I said. It's not obvious the first time watching. But yeah I understand it was not explained and that it wasn't supposed to be that. It is not even mention in the first movie that he is a T800 so the model 101 is probably the model of terminator not his skin.
That double of you in the background is how Charlie from Always Sunny in Philadelphia remembers things, by watching himself watch his memories.
As I remember it, the thing with the helicopter flying under the bridge was that the camera crew that they had for the movie refused to film it because it was too dangerous. They actually found somebody that would fly the helicopter like that, but the camera crew didn't want to film it. So... there's at least one shot in there where the camera is clearly hanging out of the window of a car following the action and somebody of course would have to be holding the camera shooting that. That would've been James Cameron himself having to shoot that because the film crew wouldn't do it.
Somebody actually flew that thing under the bridge and then again when it looks like it's going to hit a bridge and pulls up at the last second to go over it. They don't make movies like that anymore... that would almost certainly be CGI today, and that's part of why movies like this are timeless to look at.
That "somebody" was legendary helicopter pilot Charles Tamburro. He's also playing the guy jumping off after the "Get out!". About 80% (don't quote me on this, that's just how it feels like to me) of helicopters flown in 1980s and 90s movies and TV shows are him or one of his brothers. He did all the flying in the original A-Team and Airwolf TV series. He was the guy having the discussion with the police sharpshooter on the chopper in First Blood. Predator and Predator 2, Die Hard 1 & 3, Commando, True Lies, The Rock, and and and.
"It's easy to tell when the sequel is a cash grab and when it was from the passion of the artist."
Yes. That's why many fans consider Terminator 1 and 2 to be the only real movies. Yeah, there are others in the series, but if you stopped here you could live the rest of your life and never be disappointed with a Terminator movie.
That's true. All movies after T2 are disposable and add nothing at all to the story or characters.
Originally, T2 was supposed to be the last movie. James Cameron didn't want to make anymore as he felt it tied up the story. But because of the money the movies made, more movies were made squeeze out more. It was decided that there were different realities in a way. A "multiverse" in a way for the Terminator.
Terminator Dark Fate follows the original ending of T2, the mother and son driving on the motorcycle waiting for the next adventure or another Terminator.
The machines didn't "bring back" the Terminator. They were being mass produced in factories.
Repeat after me: THERE ARE NO TERMINATOR MOVIES AFTER TERMINATOR 2. You'll be much happier now.
Why does one toaster look the same as another? mass manufacturing
The reason I was confused is becuse in Terminator 1 Kyle says that they used to be able to recognize the cyborgs because they had rubber skin (or something like that) but because they started making them more realistic, it was more difficult to spot them. It's logical to think that if they all looked exactly the same then there wouldn't be an issue with recognition. Making them all look the same is a big give-away. Also, in the flash-forward Kyle has, they showed a Terminator with red eyes (in the refuge) and it doesn't look like Arnold.
That wouldn't really be a good practice for an infiltrator unit toaster.
@@amandamiquilena You are exactly right. It wouldn't make sense. There are different looking terminators. The internal skeleton is a T-800. The outside model in this one is "model 101". There are other models that look like different people.
@@amandamiquilena too deep, don't dive so hard. T-101 series not surprising they similar
there was a terminator series too, it was called 'the sarah connor chronicles' and it happens 5 or 6 years after the theatrical edittion ending of this movie.
it was very cool, but it was one of the great series that was killed by the writers strike back then, just like 'heroes'
(When Sarah was explaining how the Terminator sent, would b a positive father-figure)
It wasn’t a dig to all men, just the men Sara has chosen to allow in her life.
The “computer factory” that
John said Sarah tried blowing up happened after the first movie
and before the second movie
in the extended edition you also get to see sarah hamiltons twin sister a lot more. That's how they did the pull the CPU from arnie scene in a "mirror".
Whatever you do, stop here and don’t watch any of the terrible sequels that follow.
1:16 The twin does "Peek a boo".
I'm just glad your camera is stabilize, and is not CONSTANTLY shaking
Sarah Connor had amazing character development from Terminator 1 to Terminator 2. Ripley from the Alien films is another woman with great character development. Sarah Connor wasn’t automatically a badass just because she was a woman(like Rey from the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy). She went through trauma that toughened and motivated her to strive to be the best.
EXACTLY....how is it that modern movie makers can't understand this???🙄🙄🙄🙄
How is it not logical that John is protecting Dyson? He prevented the Terminator from just killing people so he’s consistent.
Amanda: If you've seen "The Walking Dead" you may have noticed. Todd - John's foster father - was portrayed by Xander Berkeley. You will then know him as Gregory.
The thing I really love about this is how the RELENTLESS way Arnie kept going, the power reroute, etc, to save them. It shows exactly what he'd be doing to terminate as well.
As a fellow Latino... I cant wait to watch you see Dark Fate. You could actually jump all of the other Terminator movies and go to that. Its supposed to be a continuation of this with no regards for the other films.
The subscribe jumpscare scared me for a second 😂
the first "Terminator" had a budget of $6.4 million. T2 was the first movie with a budget over $100 million.
Heh, the default portable storage medium in 1991 was a disk capable of holding 1,44 megabytes. In huge corporate projects like those, they would have used big magnetic tapes that hold data equal to several hundred individual disks. I guess CD-ROMs were already around, but big magnetic tapes definitely were still in use. Piles of those large tapes could hold many gigabytes of data in total.
Linda Hamilton spent months in the gym and on weapons ranges for this film. She should have won an Oscar . . .
True, but she has achieved something far more valuable. Lasting fame for her portrayal of the role.
There are no more Terminator moves. Trust me on this.
"i wanna be a Terminator."
Me and prolly lot of kids in the 90s. :)
Good that You were watching extended version of T2 :)
There were no other Terminator movies after this one.
You talked about some of the crew disagreeing with the chopper scene but you didn't include it. It was where the chopper flew under the bridge was a real life & death stunt & some of the film crew didn't wan't to record a mans death so James did & the stunt was pulled off successfully
Fantastic reaction to this classic Sci Fi sequel. This Terminator sequel is a pure masterpiece/classic
That's actually her legit twin, sadly she passed away years ago.
your specal effect edits are better than most movies today😂
15:45 the man with the camera is a police officer from the first terminator, the scene when the terminator broke through the windshield of a car with his hand, was thrown off the hood of the car, approached a police car in which a police officer was reporting an accident with a victim, knocked out a police officer by hitting the car and stole a police vehicle
Had to subscribe to your channel after the helicopter chase scene. I've watched a lot of people react to this movie and you're the only one that's ever brought that up about how nuts the the helicopter chase scene is.
So cool she could feel the artistic passion and vision of this movie and the people who worked on it. It really does shine through : ) also this is the perfect end to the story.
I always felt the original ending was perfect with the point of this movie being about going from fate to hope.
While the other sequels are meh, I would definitely recommend the Sarah Connor Chronicles show. It was made after 3, but is based (almost) solely on and picks up after 1 and 2 with John as a high schooler. A little slow-developing maybe, but ended up being kinda awesome. A bunch of different storylines, mythology, technical explanations, profound diary entries each episode, maybe even the best job of making the humor hit.
Impressive synchronization 👍 14:44
I love how excited you were to watch this.
You really wondered how they bring back the Terminator? Go in any big surface story and search for any machine: a drill, a toaster, a cell phone, anything. You will see 400 identical copies of that same machine.
48:03 "it's the leg"? The legs contain major arteries. A gunshot wound is nearly as dangerous as a gunshot would in the chest because of the possible blood lost.
53:58 if the Terminator is feeling an emotion at that moment, that would be distress for being stuck, not pain.
There are other movies, but they are cash grabs. Of the other movies, only the third one has the decency of being entertaining.
I absolutely agree with the Cinematography. It was fantastic and sorely missing today.
I’m so glad you watched this
This is by far my favorite action movie of all time
It’s literally lightning in a bottle.
Skynet basically has countless 'endoskeletons' (The T800 Series) and lots of different 'skin' versions (Arnie's is Model 101) and each skin has countless copies, so Skynet can crank out thousands of Terminators that look like Arnold
They DID do a re-make... of sorts. It was "The Matrix".
For Safety, James filmed the Helicopter scene with as few people on set as possible, because he didn't want to CGI the Helicopter going under the bridge (it was also the only way he could get this cleared through the Insurance Company).
the Following Sequels were "Money Grabs" for the Studios.
25:36 That liquid is designed to dissolve drain clogs, so injecting it in his neck would be Not Good for him.
The reason the T-800-Model 101(arnold's Terminator model) all share the same face is because they come off of an assembly line when Skynet makes the Terminators, you learn more about this in T3 Rise of the Machines and in Salvation. There are other T-800's different category modes 102, 103 etc that have different faces but the main T-800 models are Arnold and in some cases not even skinned just sent out in pure endoskeleton form like we see in the distant future war. The ones with skin are used for infiltration missions to blend in with humans. Great reaction Amanda, you're always so cute and into your reactions!
34:45 about that, those silicon valley nitwits have knack of seeing these post apocalypse/dystopia movies and think to themselves: "we should make that"
9:35 I'm starting to think that Amanda is some kind of evil genius.
Cyberdyne Systems is a defense contractor, which means it makes weapons, computers, or military equipment for the government. The government will allow it to keep secrets from the public, and protect those secrets, providing Cyberdyne uses those secrets for the benefit of the government. Since the skeleton and chip were found in its factory, Cyberdyne got first priority on studying the futuristic technology.
