Terminator 2: Judgement Day: Breaking Down the Greatest Sequel Ever
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 чер 2024
- What’s your favorite movie sequel of all time? For some of us, it’s the Godfather Part II, for others it’s The Empire Strikes Back, or maybe you’re into Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2. In any case, one of the greatest sequels of all time has to be Terminator 2: Judgement Day. T2 is James Cameron’s 1991 masterpiece that follows up the original 80’s blockbuster. The movie was originally meant to be the end of the road for the Terminator franchise and as such, the ending of the movie serves as a definitive ending to the iconic story. The final confrontation involves the T-800 (Arnold Schwarzenegger) taking on the T-1000 (Robert Patrick) who has been hunting the Conner family in order to terminate them once and for all. We're going to dig into this bittersweet, exciting conclusion to perhaps the greatest sequel ever made in this episode of Scene Breakdown!

If you want to go down the T2 route again, the opening 5 minutes when the audience is trying to work out which time traveller is going to be the bad guy is superb.
Terminator 2 is the best James Cameron movie
Sooooo true
One of his best films
bold claim, great movie torn between this or aliens.
I really wish Cameron never stopped making more Terminator films. Because all the post T2 followups have been trash. Yet he is more invested in his other franchise of an IP about blue aliens.
@@barbiquearea Considering how well Avatar 2 did, I don't think he is wasting his time. Terminator is a one note franchise. T-2 covered all the bases. Nothing after Cameron's films were necessary.
Back in the day when sequels could still be better than the original.
This and Aliens
@@kacwccj exactly.👍🏻
My favorite scene in the whole movie is when T-800 hops from the pickup truck to the big rig and just unloads on the T-1000 point blank. Such a cool scene.
Discovered this movie by accident on the AMC channel before streaming, and while I wasn't old enough to watch R rated movies at the time, my dad watched it with me since he decided what I could and couldn't watch and because it was on TV, the profanity was dubbed over with cleaner words. To this today, this ending makes me cry❤
One of the best movies ever made
James Cameron is king of the sequel, he makes sequels that are as good, if not better than the Original films? Aliens and Terminator 2 are two of the best sequels that have ever been made. He's made some truly great films.
The Way of Water belongs on that list as well. It definitely grows on you the more times you see it.
@@LukeLovesRose lol!
Saw this movie in theaters when I was WAAAAAY too young to be seeing any R-rated movie, and I cried uncontrollably at the end.
My favorite sequels are T2 and Aliens, which is strange because they are both James Cameron movies and mostly action movies where the initial films were more horror/thrillers.
They both retain much of their horror elements they are very much horror action movies aliens doesn’t really become an action movie till about almost an hour in and t2 still has a lot of the slasher elements of the original terminator 3 and beyond were all straight action
I really enjoy the future war scenes. The special effects are incredible and everything looks and flows so well.
The Terminator Dawn Of Fate video game was set in the future and it was very faithful to Terminator lore. It used a couple of the HK's which were planned for T2 but never used.
The leadup to this scene with Sarah shooting the shotgun into the T-1000 until she runs out of shells is one of the most badass hero moments in any action movie ever.
T2 = superb sequel. Beyond it's time.
One of the best sequels ever
I wanted to take a moment to express how beautifully portrayed the bond between John Connor and the terminator is to me. Imagining myself as John at 9 years old and being raised by a single mom, the glimpse into what it meant to have a father figure, protector and friend resonated with me on a profound level. I finally showed my two sons (ages 10 and 11) T2 last month. Watching T2 with them was such a special moment in my adult life. I had to fight back some serious tears when John begged terminator not to leave him. I TRULY LOVE THIS MOVIE!
This scene only works so great because of how Cameron trained us to accepting the T800 machine as not Johns surrogate protector but also our protector/father.
That line Arnie gives of knowing why we cry.
Its amazing how we get invested into a film and characters. Then it hits us as viewers and reminds us of who characters are plus story beats
I love this movie, Aliens is also a good sequel. A really good scene in this movie is at the mental hospital when Sarah first sees the Terminator.
It doesn't matter how cliched action movie stuff has become this movie is still iconic
Still makes me laugh when someone goes HASTA LAVISTA BABY
The ending is right up there with Old Yeller. The hero has to go at the end . Always a tear jerker .I'm not crying shut up your crying i got some thing in my eye.
The relationship between John and the Terminator is what makes T2 superior to the original in my opinion. And even as a 41 year old man, that thumbs up scene STILL gets me every time. And has gotten me every time since I first saw this movie in the early 90's.
It always 😢makes me almost cry at the end
@@davidcurry332I ALWAYS cry at the end .
The first part got other emotions, but is on the same level as part 2 is.
It is the greatest. Those effects hold up well too, generally...I know now why you cry...something I could never do.. 😢
💯👍👍
Yep, the T-1000 especially was ahead of its time.
@@barbiquearea👍
I think this is really the best movie sequel (even a little better than Godfather 2) it’s just so good! Excellent writing also as a person can watch it as a stand alone and understand and enjoy it just as well.
Its definitely up there
T2, Aliens, Empire Strikes Back, LOTR The Two Towers
I think that one thing that made that scene so intense is something that almnost no one else has commented, and is the fact that when the T800 looks up (when downing to the molten steel) his relative POV is no longer computer type. In all the whole movie, any time that we get the T800 POV is the red screen with the letters and commands, except in that final moment. Through all the movie we experience the T800 evolution from a machine to a more human like figure, and when he says that now he knows why humans cry is the final step, so when he's being lowered to the molten steel and looks up, the director (James Cameron) decided to shows us his POV without the red screen, as saying "now he is no longer a machine"...
Terminator 2 is such a great movie. I've watched it so many times. There are many reasons why T2 is so great. Here's some of them: 1) James Cameron making Arnold's Terminator the hero instead of the villain again is genius. 2) The special effects were truly ground-breaking. 3) Linda Hamilton's Oscar worthy performance as Sarah Connor the former waitress gone mad. 4) Schwarzenegger's memorable one-liners ''I'll be back!'' and ''Hasta la vista, baby!'' 4) The movie had the perfect ending. 5) When you start watching the movie, you try to guess which is the good Terminator and which is the bad Terminator. 6) T2 had some of the most spectacular action and stunt sequences ever put on film and 6) The Terminator's demise is one of the saddest death scenes of a cinematic character.
I like that t2 keeps a lot of the horror elements of the first even though it’s an action movie it still feels like a slasher
Thank you to James Cameron for making the 2 greatest sequels ever: Aliens and Terminator 2
One of the best movies I ever saw in the theater.
Terminator 1 is my favorite in the franchise but Terminator 2 is one of the best sequel's ever made
My favorite sequel is still 'Return to Oz'; it's kind of a reboot/sequel, but it takes the angle of Dorothy's psychology hinted at by the original MGM movie and tilts in a radically interesting new direction!
That movie was a timebomb.. Tick tock 😂
It wasn't just the sludge that's used as a placeholder for molten steel that was cold; the entire location was extremely cold, and many measures were taken to make it look like it was hot, from the red glow lights to misting water over the actors' skin to make it look as though they were perspiring. The sparks that seem to be flying everywhere in the scene were made by crew members scraping welding machines against random metallic surfaces, which also add to the notion of a warm setting, even though the spark makers were, in all probability, shivering in their bones.
Linda Hamilton's twin sister (who I think is called "Sarah", funnily enough) was first brought in to shoot a scene which was first left in the cutting room floor, in which John and Sarah enable the T-800's learning abilities (prior to which the T-800 wasn't supposed to be able to learn any new skills). The scene, which has since been made available in DVD extras (among other means), depicts Hamilton operating on a dummy Schwarzenegger and reaching into its skull to retrieve the T-800's CPU, while Arnold, posing as the T-800's reflexion in a mirror, guides her through the process. Linda's twin sister was first brought in to play Sarah Connor's reflexion, but ended up playing the T-1000 when it took Sarah's form opposite the real Sarah on screen. It's worthy of note that, just after the deleted scene, John finds the keys to a parked car in the sun visor of said car whilst the T-800 busts open the steering column to try and hot-wire the car. John brandishes the keys whilst saying "Are we learning yet?", even though the T-800 proceeds to activate the car without the need for keys. Later in the film (and in the following film), the T-800 retrieves car keys from the sun visors of the cars to which they belong.
4pm in the UK and im tearing up at the kitchen table, gets ya everytime! 👍
I was 10 in the Summer of 91 when this came out and everyone and I mean literally everyone was talking about this
I cant believe when this was released I couldnt convince any of my friends to go to this with me. First movie I ever went to alone
Still to this day and loads of times watching it I STILL well up 😢
Sadly Linda's sister died in 2020. Right when Chadwick died too.
"I know now why you cry, but I can never do it myself." That's not what he says. 🙄
T2 and the Godfather 2 are benchmarks for any filmmaker that wants to make a sequel that will surpass their original work.
💯💯💯
"Because you told me too."
The bit that got me was, while Sarah just didn't trust 'Uncle Bob' for the whole movie, at the end, she offers her hand to him.
I always thought that his hand that got ripped off and not melted would spawn the epic third movie. Not the polished arm. The one trapped where it was ripped off. I haven't ever heard anyone mention it since I saw it back in the 90s as a kid who worshipped Edward and wanted another movie.
Best Sequels: Dark Knight, Capt Amer: the Winter Solider, Back to the future II, T2... thats all i can think of so far...
All right man this movie gets me a lump in my throat same as return of the Jedi does and I’m 42 years old. That was my first movie when I was a kid so they can do that movies can do that especially macho sci-fi, movies too. they can do that.
I like the adr for John. It’s proof that he is gonna become a man and a leader. He has already gone thru it so he can lead others thru it
I was so little when I saw the first two terminator movies. But instead of being a small child with nightmares, I was a small child with two heroes sorry three heroes. I was a little kid who looked up to Kyle Reese, but then I was a little kid that looked up to Arnold and Sarah. Yes I knew Arnold was an actor, but I didn’t care about Arnold as an actor. I loved the character the T 800 and I loved the character Sarah. And even though I was a very small child, I still understood the story arc that Sarah had become like the machines, but then she found her humanity , and instead of wanting to kill, she became someone who wanted to save. And I couldn’t get enough of that as a child. I think that’s what grounded me into the kind of games and movies, and even music that I like. I want to experience a story in what I interact with. And I wanted to be a good complex story. And that love began with the first two terminator movies. And just like these first two movies, I don’t want to hear exposition, I don’t want to see bullshit action scenes, I want to see a story that naturally plays out with characters that are believable, because as a small child , I found Kyle, Reese, Sarah, Connor and T 800 as believable characters. I found the T 1000 as a believable character and even as a small child, thanks to the way the story was told, I was intrigued at the T10 and wondered what if he could feel emotions. Because of the way that the T10 tilts his head every time she is killing someone, it made me wonder even as a child, is he studying their reaction and learning. Such little details, that thanks to good storytelling, made me think and to this day things like that still make me think
The scene were the T800 jumps the Harley down into the canal is the most obvious stunt double I can remember.
Not now, since 2017 they put CGI over stuntman Peter Kent. Now it looks like Arnie doing it.
No it really was a Harley.
Dude shit you not..I was 14 when I saw this in the theater..this scene brought a tear to my eye. Choked me up for sure. Pretty sure I’ve never heard anyone said yea me too. Glad to hear I’m not the only one. One of the best movies ever..truly a masterpiece 👍🏻
I cried at the end of 2010 when HAL chooses to sacrifice himself. "Will I dream?". Everytime.
One of my favorite movies
You're right, it is a great looking movie. As well as Arnold & Patrick, I also like Linda Hamilton playing a tough character who isn't obnoxious & in your face. A really great actress.
There are allot of people out there, myself included, that would pay good money to see Edward Furlong as John Connor again, and not in some 3 sec shot where he gets killed off. An aged, paranoid, druggie and alcoholic version of himself, crushed from the weight of his destiny and how his mother raised him. A way more dark and gritty film. Edward Furlong could totally nail that role becos it's literally himself in real life!
T2 is one of the best sequels ever made. With that said, I prefer the original because of its horror element that disappeared in all sequels since and how well it was made on a shoestring budget.
The movie "Hardware" tried to copy The Terminator and kind of succeeded.
3:52 "It's 40-Miller time."
People shouldn't blame TIM MILLER for the failure of "Terminator: Dark Fate"
He was the director, not the writer
Killing John Connor was James Cameron's idea
Miller deserves another chance because he still got a lot to offer
He also gave us Sonic the Hedgehog, directed by his friend, Jeff Fowler
Also, anyone seen LOVE, DEATH and ROBOTS?
No, both Cameron and Miller are to blame. If they make another one, I dont want Miller anywhere near it. He had his chance, and he blew it.
@@peterlenham3180 again, Miller wasn't the writer
Cameron was the one calling the shots
Miller couldn't do anything about
@@Zombiesnyder13 Yet the film looked nothing like Cameron's. Im a huge Terminator fan, if I was going to make a follow up to the legendary T2, I would make it look and feel the same. Whether Miller had a hand in what they did with John's character or not, he STILL messed up the rest of the film.
This is one of the best movie of all times
My favorite film of all time. I re-watch the mini gun scene once a week. I also tear up every time I see the ending, it's the musical score over all of it that gets me
Iconic movie this movie means a lot to me and man the practical effects still hold up to this day also it's one of few movies where i cried like a baby.
Well they were done by great effects people practical is always the best to go but even the cgi they used man for this movie to be the first to use that much cgi it still looks better than a lot of the cgi today
@@jimbowlan5804 that's true I just liked when movies were actually filmed on film looked more real i don't like the digital look.
I think a point missed that should have been brought up as to why the scene was sad was some of the Sarah Connor commentary in the desert before her nightmare scene, like when she says the Terminator was the only true father figure John has ever known.
One of if not the best sequel ever.
Riiight.. You’re just sweating. More like your *eyes* are sweating. Hahaha
Then we got Terminator 3 with the Elton John sunglasses and 'Talk to the hand'
Genuine man-tear moments are rare. This is one. The end of the Lord of the Rings trilogy is another.
The nuke scene scared the living hell out of me when i was a kid and it's still not easy to watch. T2 is the most badass movie ever made. James Cameron is as much of a genius as Steven Spielberg and Arnie deserved every single dollar cause the movie would've sucked without him. We vill probably never see an icon with almost a god-like status, action hero as big as Arnie ever again, and movies are not very good anymore. I think this is the end of an era, (thumb up), sadface
You know the crazy thing studio executives told him he’d never be a leading man with his accent and he was too big for movies that he missed the Hercules movies by 10 years this was the 70s by the mid 80s Arnold and sly were in most of the popular action movies of the 80s Arnold. After Conan the producer said iam glad we had you that you didn’t listen to those other producers cause then we wouldn’t of had a movie
@@jimbowlan5804 arnold followed his vision and ignored all the soft ass losers
You spelled it wrong.
You might have just been sweating, but l had to take off my glasses and wipe a few tears away, even after all these years.
I watched it on opening weekend
Rodney King was beaten across the street from the set of T2, right across from where the bar was
Ngl but I did see this movie more than 5 times in the cheap theatres back when that was still a thing.
Linda Hamilton's sister would've been way better in the Flash.
So, what happened to the scene of the metal bars?
As much as I love T2 and Aliens I still like the 1st movies in both franchises more
This is a great Movie!
Yeah, as far as as terminator villains to 1000 wait up for the oral was the first one, and if all the villains even 23 has good parts to it, it’s still better than Darkfeet, Robert Patrick’s performance, and he still kind of an unsettling actor, but there’s something really creepy about the way he try to mimic human emotion and stuff like that very well very good
Robert Patrick played the same kind of character in the Outer Limits episode "The Light Brigade".
What a film.
Obviously not during this movie, but after T3 came out, I can't help but look back at T2 and wonder why the terminator's hydrogen fuel cells didn't detonate after he was lowered into the molten steel. Maybe this model was made differently without them?
This was a T-800, The one in T3 was a T-850
@@tigerbread78 I knew they were different terminators, but didn't know that they were different model number. Thank you
Many consider Superman II as superior to the original Superman also. The same goes for Mad Max 2 compared to the original Mad Max.
33 years later, and T2 is still the best action movie ever made.
aside from the move itself being so amazing (the extended is better making the t-800 more human), the score is the perfect combination of inspiring and utterly and sadly devastating. it's something like too beautiful to live, for music
T2 and Aliens, best actions movies ever made
james cameron is the best director in history . and aliens is in my opinion top 3 movies in all time
"But it's something I can never do." You need to watch it twenty more times 😆 T1 is my number 1a favorite movie and T2 is number 1b 🥰
Very powerful scene indeed, but I’ve always liked the scene where Sarah runs into the terminator for the first time in the hallway. We know what’s going on, but she doesn’t.
Holy shit im literally crying watching this
Hasta la vista, baby!
This is my favorite movie.
Its either this or aliens.
The Empire Strikes Back, The Godfather Part II, and T2: Judgement Day are the three most iconic sequels of all time
Also Home Alone 2: Lost in New York
Predator 2 is still the most underrated sequel ever.
I saw it for the first time as a kid with my older brother at the drive-in movie. A memory of a very beautiful evening. After that, me and a friend, we wanted a "portable computer" like John Connor used in the movie 😂 Of course, my friend had bought one more powerful than mine, you know how it was 🤣
Yes!!!
Top Gun Maverick is definitely one of those superior sequels. But T2 may be the greatest sequel ever made. Camerons own Aliens is up there too.
It doesnt hurt that T2 is also the greatest action movie ever made.
T2 shouldve totally been nominated for Best Picture and Best Director. Linda Hamilton also shouldve gotten a Best Actress nomination. I mean, did anyone ever see Laura Derns movie? If Lucas can be nominated for Star Wars....
TG maverick didn't even have the guts to name the enemy 🤣
This is where I stopped with this franchise. I’ve only ever seen the first 2 and the Battle Across Time ride movie
Terminator 4 has a silly plot but nice visuals.
It's one of my favorite Arnold movies, #classic
A brilliant movie 🎥
About that private jet Arnold got--the "real" reason Arnold refused to do Predator 2 is because Joel Silver refused to let Arnold use his private jet to return back to the USA after filming even though he had let Arnold use it at least once already during filming Predator (for Arnold's honeymoon). Notice Arnold has NEVER worked with Joel Silver since Predator, Arnold's just too much a real-life legend-hero-gentleman to make it any bigger deal than it had to be. So, Arnold's T2 plane IMHO is a clear act of good faith by the studio to show Arnold he would be treated as A-list as it gets and not like Joel Silver did. And that's how we got Predator 2.
It’s hands down the greatest sequel ever made
My favorite ending is the ending of the T3, which is still the 3rd best Terminator movie ever made...
Measuring an actor or even a rappers fee according to the words spoken doesn’t make sense. Actors get paid to perform. Not just to deliver lines.
A L I E N S
Hasta la vista, baby
The Empire Strikes Back
Don't worry at this time the alternative end is the true ending for all of us Terminator fans!
Rewatching terminator 2 id always watch up till they blowing up cyber dine but id never finish it
