@@Mihi_Dana-z2x All the first quater of the film, when he pretended to be human. We may have forgotten it now, but the film was made such a way that until John, T-800 and T-1000 meet in the corridor of the mall, the film makes us think that T-800 is a villain and T-1000 is actually a human, like Kyle. We never see T-1000 kill anybody until that point, and he overall acts as a polite human.
@@thedreamscripter4002exactly, that's why he's impersonating a cop as well. We're meant to trust him and be convinced he's the "good cyborg". Of course, the whole marketing machine put a quick end to this deception when they gave away the whole idea right away. Ironically, it was the same year this came out that being an L.A. cop put you firmly in the role of the villain in the public perception for very different reasons. An irony on par with one of the early development ideas for the original movie considers O.J. Simpson as the Terminator, because nobody would believe that charming football hero to be a cold blooded killing machine.
Yeah, paired with the Police uniform, it gave the illusion he was more trustworthy at the beginning, when compared to Arnold (given he was the villain of the first), so it was a clever subversion of expectation when it’s revealed he (T-1000) is the assassin, this time.
Yes, it actually makes his character MORE dangerous because people are more likely to let their guard down with someone/something that doesn't look imposing.
Plus he would showed what look liked genuine emotions when talking to people for information at the beginning. Made him seem human at first and able to manipulate people. Then in chase scenes he had this fish stare and then when face to face would use intimidation expressions to frighten his prey.
I wasn't a child, I was an adult, and he scared the sh*t out of me....but several years later, when I saw him in The Unit, I didn't remember that he'd been the T1000 in T2, all I knew when I saw him was that I was terrified of him....only I didn't know why...
I was preteen and both scared and fascinated by him. ❤ When I saw him again in The Faculty in my late teenage years, the uneasy feelings rushed back instantly... 😅
Supposedly he wasnt even "booking it" in certain scenes, because the training he did to look less human while running actually made him too good at running, so they supposedly had him slow down a bit.
@@OrenTubingmost impressive thing about all that was he was able to develop the ability to shoot a firearm without blinking I’d say best acting in any action movie
@@OrenTubing I remember when I first saw the movie (in the theater!) I didn't notice the blinking or closed-mouth thing. BUT I did notice how, while running, his hands didn't curl into fists but remained flat, with fingers straight - just inhuman. And later, reminiscent of the wedges and hooks he'd form with his arms
This guy had the unenviable task of making Arnold look inferior and inadequate. And holy shit he nailed it. He had such a menacing focus when he was in "target acquired" mode.
@@baseballsux2 Terminators were built to blend with and infiltrate human groups. Arnold physique (or Columbu's...) was not the optimal choice for that at all. The role was envisioned around Lance Henriksen first and he showed how it would look like in his Alien franchise appearances as an android.
Him not blinking while shooting is badass, too. Schwartzenegger claimed it was impossible, but Patrick went the extra mile to make up in technique what he lacked in size, which is 100% what the T1000 is.
Just watched it again last night for like the 20th time. I was just thinking about the SFX. The CG was pretty good, especially when you consider the fact that this movie was made over 35 years ago!
James Cameron made the best choice choosing a smaller guy. That is how technology works. Smaller, faster more advanced and efficient machines. It would've sucked if it was just some other meat head. Also the t-1000 could transform into a big buff guy if he wanted to but bigger isn't always better. He's the best terminator ever other than arnold.
That’s a great way to put it, and very accurate. A real assassin (which is what the T-1000 was created to be) wouldn’t just be some giant muscle head running through an area and mowing everything down. You’d want them to be slender and agile, blending into the environment and tactically eliminating the opposition while stealthily approaching your target. The T-1000 also had the added advantage of being able to tank damage if he needs to in the moment, or transforming into another person to escape or gain trust. He really was the perfect assassin.
Cameron's original vision for the first T-800 terminator was also supposed to have been smaller, played by Lance Henriksen. Schwarzenegger changed his mind, but terminators were never originally supposed to be large and physically imposing, but smaller and sneakier.
It was scary because he still showed tiny bits of emotion, a small smirk, raising his brows in mock surprise or interest, showing how the future Terminator had advanced so much that it could even portray human emotions unlike T-800 who had trouble smiling even when taught how and prompted to.
Hot dang, you're spot-on! He really captured the mannerisms of 47, too. I'm sure with a bit of prodding the humour that Bateson brought to the role could also be pulled out of Patrick, too.
I liked the film more because robot patrick looked like the good guy but everything else about him was cold. Brilliant actor. Nobody could ever be a scarier t1000 in my opinion

@@uromi-owuopukeme6081Hal 9000 is the onboard computer that sabotages the ship in the movie '2001: A Space Odyssey'. It came out in 1968 and was directed by Stanley Kubrick.
He was more frightening to me as a kid than Arnold; because with the T800, you can spot them and have a slim chance to flee or fight. With the T1000, your few chances go out of the window; it's like fighting a ghost impersonating anybody on the street; designed to inspire you confidence and back stab you. He was really creepy.
It is a perfect choice. The t-800 required Arnold because it is older and heavier (metalic) model. It was bigger and denser. T1000 on the other hand was mostly liquid metal so does not make sense for it to be bigger than Arnold. Furthermore, since it's mission is to blend in with the crowd to get to its target, a smaller framed person is suitable choice. That was why Patrick was able to walk around in a police uniform throughout the movie and no one battered an eye.
Robert Patrick was the perfect person to play opposite Arnold as the T1000. He had the right look, attitude and coldness that made him feel like a Terminator.
He was thin, handsome and dressed as a cop which at the start feels so diffused. BUT when T1000 starts action he is so OP I begin to rooting for T800 Arnold. Thats how cool the movie is.
Yes he did the best job of all the villiens in its 20 plus year history , I wonder if Johnny deep or that guy who played venom in spider 3 could have equally done a good job , or the good guy in 300 part 2 riase of an empire .
It’s weird bc you’re right he is both memorable but forgettable at the same time. Think exactly what would be wanted by a killer robot from the future. He’s officer friendly not intimidating until… the glower gaze gets turned on. The the blades come out. Everyone dies. Not so friendly or attractive to be remembered for that but just bland professional stock image, with capacity for limitless violence.
As Indian guy who watched this masterpiece when I was in my teens and didn't have much Hollywood exposure Robert Patrick's Terminator was really scare. Mostly in Indian movies the villain is not a good looking but here the villain is way way handsome than the Hero. One of the greatest performance. ❤
Robert Patrick was nightmarish, that dead 1000 yard stare, laser focus locked on, no blinking while mag dumping was very impressive! I bet Edward Furlong still wakes up in a cold sweat with Patrick catching up to him on that dirt bike🤣
Robert Patrick instilled an incredible amount of fear in that character's aura. I was in middle school or whatever when I saw this one in theaters and it was fucking amazing the impression his performance left on me. Just the idea of that character transformed my imagination
Hands down Robert Patrick was the best actor to play that role. The style and and method of acting he brought to the role was absolutely spot on and terrifying at the same time. If Robert wasn't in this movie this movie wouldn't have been as successful as it is period.
I can't imagine anyone else. A bigger dude would have been trite. His acting with pretty much just cold facial expressions made a classic. Truly scary villain
I was afraid of him for soooo long. I was also a big X-Files fan back then. And when season 8 dropped it took some getting use to, but I really feel he killed that role as well. He could have done more given the chance, imho.
@@galexymitzelplik9560 I don't know, I really liked Nicholas Lea in that part. Having a guy I didn't have any previous relationship to made him more interesting. Patrick playing yet another villain would have made me think of T-1000 even more. On another note, I started rewatching The X-Files from the start a few months ago and it really holds up. I'm half way in to season 9 now and watched the first movie between season 5 and 6 and will watch the second movie after season 9. Can recommend! The truth is out there. 🤓
Yea when i rewatched the x files i was expecting to hate those last two seasons but really enjoyed both new characters and appreciated the dawg RP further
Robert Patrick just had that menacing look although he didnt had the huge muscle bound physically imposing type of body like Arnold...His acting alone made him nailed that role....Cameron made a good decision.
I think the ears got him the role. Those are some damn interesting ears! They make him look like he's sensing something, which fit the T 1000 to a t, no pun intended.
Till now, when I say or hear the word "Terminator" I think about T1000 played by Robert Patrick. I think in the future someone will build a robot looking like that character.

Robert Patrick was nightmarish, that dead 1000 yard stare, laser focus locked on, no blinking while mag dumping was very impressive! I bet Edward Furlong still wakes up in a cold sweat with Patrick catching up to him on that dirt bike🤣
I was looking for this comment.
Robert Patrick instilled an incredible amount of fear in that character's aura. I was in middle school or whatever when I saw this one in theaters and it was fucking amazing the impression his performance left on me.
Just the idea of that character transformed my imagination
Robert Patrick did a great job. Sleeker then Arnold, equally as tuff.
Hands down Robert Patrick was the best actor to play that role. The style and and method of acting he brought to the role was absolutely spot on and terrifying at the same time. If Robert wasn't in this movie this movie wouldn't have been as successful as it is period.
I’m really loving the love we are giving to Robert Patrick…
His performance remains unparalleled.
'have you seen this boy?'....... AAARRRRGHH
I can't imagine anyone else. A bigger dude would have been trite. His acting with pretty much just cold facial expressions made a classic. Truly scary villain
Robert Patrick's role will easily go down as one of the top 10 movie villains, if not top 5.
One of my fav movies. Everyone did an excellent job. Great choice for the T1000
When movies were movies and not agendas. I never doubted that T-1000 was an actor 😂 . I only see a machine, an advanced one.
What's an agenda movie? You mean like Wakanda because it wasn't all yt male stars like this movie?
D@mn this nice guy played that predatory hunting machine T1000 that's some beyond impressive acting 😮! ❤️ 👍
I was afraid of him for soooo long. I was also a big X-Files fan back then. And when season 8 dropped it took some getting use to, but I really feel he killed that role as well. He could have done more given the chance, imho.
That was a good pick to put in there. Fox Mulder's absence would have overpowered most anyone else,
Imagine of Patrick played Krycek 😮 . Now thats a villan for Mulder.
@@galexymitzelplik9560 I don't know, I really liked Nicholas Lea in that part. Having a guy I didn't have any previous relationship to made him more interesting. Patrick playing yet another villain would have made me think of T-1000 even more.
On another note, I started rewatching The X-Files from the start a few months ago and it really holds up. I'm half way in to season 9 now and watched the first movie between season 5 and 6 and will watch the second movie after season 9.
Can recommend! The truth is out there. 🤓
Yea when i rewatched the x files i was expecting to hate those last two seasons but really enjoyed both new characters and appreciated the dawg RP further
Patrick played it perfectly.
Robert Patrick just had that menacing look although he didnt had the huge muscle bound physically imposing type of body like Arnold...His acting alone made him nailed that role....Cameron made a good decision.
*didn't HAVE the huge.................
I think the ears got him the role. Those are some damn interesting ears! They make him look like he's sensing something, which fit the T 1000 to a t, no pun intended.
Till now, when I say or hear the word "Terminator" I think about T1000 played by Robert Patrick.
I think in the future someone will build a robot looking like that character.
Perfect movie! Perfect cast! Absolutely NAILED IT!
Robert was a great choice. Even though he was not as big as Arnold, Cameron had a more deadly prescence. That was what Cameron wanted, prescence.
Great casting! Excellent movie! ❤ 👍
He was perfect for that part
That's why creators must be left to do their thing
All three Terminators in the firs three films were awesome. The differences made it.
I saw another video if him and how he practiced running. WOW!!! He's as fast as a cheetah!! 😮😮😮 👍👍👍
