Sorry about some of the glitches in the video guys, editor had some glitches with the timeline when editing it!
Arnie at his prime was a gigantic star
Speaking of GTA you should watch falling down Michael Douglas. Such a bad ass movie
That moment you realize they tricked everyone by flipping the script lmao
Was it the theatrical version or the director's cut you were watching??
Hey there.. I‘ve been watching your videos for a while and - as a true trekkie since my childhood - I‘m so delighted to see someone reacting to the old Star Trek movies. That is a rare thing. Especially in these days, when many younger viewers grow up with the quick paced, CGI overloaded productions. Nothing against fast editing and CGI in general, but it‘s always the right mixture of course which is best.
Again, thanks a lot for some respectful, entertaining reactions to the old movies.
My further recommendation (from the 90ies) is ‚First Contact‘.
If you need some specific suggestions for essential Star Trek episodes (in my humble opinion), let me know :) Keep up
the great work !
Arnold Schwarzenegger's Terminator character is the only one to be in the American Film Institute's 50 greatest villains list and its 50 greatest movie heroes list for T1 and T2.
I checked Robert Patrick into our hotel the other week. Nice guy! I joked with him to not force the elevator doors open with his metal foreceps.
@@torydznice lol
"Terminator 2" does not look better only because it is newer - it is a question of budget! "TERMINATOR" was a cheap b-movie that only cost 6,5 million dollars to make. "TERMINATOR 2" had a budget of more than 100 MILLION DOLLARS!
When the first movie does so well, the studio is more than happy to throw all the goddamn money in the world at the sequel lol
Funny thing about that now is that's probably chump change compared to how much todays movies cost to make.
@@RukiMoogle I don't know, adjusting for inflation, $100 mil back then effectively doubles to $200 mil which is about the average for a Marvel Cinematic Universe release
@@RukiMoogle In inflation adjusted dollars, T2’s budget would be over $200 million today. Not the biggest budget among recent films, but not exactly chump change.
Yeah kind of what happened with Star Wars
I’m so glad to FINALLY get to see people being shocked by the reveal that Arnold is the good guy because before the movie came out, Arnold was on all the TV talk shows talking about how he was the good guy this time. He totally ruined the surprise back then!
The film's trailers spoiled this mostly as well before it came out.
@@eighthdoctor yes, that’s true. I found out by seeing Arnold on the Tonight Show before the movie came out but I forgot about the trailers. I envy younger people who are seeing these films for the first time now.
For me it was a shock to know that Arnold was the bad guy in the first one hahahaha I remember just watching the second one for years and then when I watched the first one I was like "what's happening!!" 😂
Trailers already had by the time Arnold hit the talk shows.
Funny story. While we knew who was the good guy and who was the bad terminator the week before the movies release, my friends and I thought they were going to do something else for months leading up to the movies release because of a misunderstanding watching an early trailer for the movie(Not the final trailer, but the “This time….there are TWO of them” one). We thought they were setting up for Arnold to play duel roles as two different terminators. One good, and one bad. They were so big on hyping the groundbreaking special effects in the T-1000 right before the movie though that it kinda spoiled the surprise even if you didn’t watch the trailers.
This is hands down the best terminator movie off them all
Best action movie ever
Ofcourse
@@reginaldfrempong6644 i think total recall is a better action movie. the original of course, not that remake crap.
It's not even close. T2 is just in another league compared to the rest of the franchise. I loved The Sarah Connor Chronicles though.
Well of cours it is. And before he mention someone naming it "the best action movie ever" I never tought of that. If you had asked me, I would have said... I don't know, The Matrix maybe. Maybe one of the Die Hard. Or maybe the first Avenger movie. But now, I can't unsee it. T2 clearly is the best action movie. It has everything that make action movies what they are at 200%.
The helicopter scene was actually done frl, like no miniatures, no CGI, just actually skills and commitment. They say that the camera crew didn't want to do it so the director did it.
the guy who jumps out of the helicopter is doing the flying and director did the filming for when the truck drove off the brige
13:28 I've seen this movie so many times...
The way Arnie reloads that Shotgun still makes me smile! So good!
Have you seen the outake where he does the cool flippy lever action and smacks Eddy in the face with it.
@@Jexorz86 😆 never seen that. Goin lookin for it tho, hahaha
@@Jexorz86 my favourite was when he has to relearn the technique for the 3D movie for the theme park attraction…the making of feature the has a snippet where Arnold is doing the flip, drops the gun and it lands near a piece of equipment, then chuckles break out as Jim Cameron calls out “careful Arnold, we need that camera”
@@trayolphia5756 I saw that ride US Florida, badass when the guy actually comes peeling across the stage on a motorcycle.
Thank John Wayne for the inspiration, it's straight out of True Grit
This is widely considered one of the best movies ever made.
And fun fact: Miles Dyson is also Cyborg’s dad in Justice League!
And interesting fact Cyborg's dad had 2 children, one we know of as Cyborg the other goes unknown and disowned and its n name was Cyberdyne
Easily on par with Aliens, which also happened to be a James Cameron film. Hmm, anyone seeing a pattern here? :P
I wonder if it's actually directly referencing this or if it was just a coinkydink like if that was actually written into the comics anywhere cuz you know in that '70s show the main character was Eric forman and he was played by Topher Grace and then I believe it was after that show got canceled the show House comes out also on Fox with a doctor who is A different race who is also named Eric forman I don't remember the actor's name but he was black and the one from that 70 show is white pretty sure that wasn't to reference the other show
And John's foster mom was Vasquez in Aliens, as well as the Irish mom in Titanic.
Cool! I didn't know that was the same dude.
This is the PERFECT TERMINATOR FILM, none of the sequels came close to being as good.
This is objectively correct.
There are other terminator films? Wait wait am I living in a different timeline where they stopped making them.
What sequels ?
You're gonna tell me next they also made Highlander sequels ?
It’s like trying to debate that die hard 2 was better then the original. Minus the fact that this is a sequel beating the original. 😂
T2 sucks. T1 is the only good one
T2 is what we like to call "lightning in a bottle" congratulations to James for his achievement.
The moment he realised Arnold is actually the good guy was brilliant lol.
9:14 You might recognize the woman here playing John's Foster Mom. That's Jeanette Goldstein, who played Vasquez in Aliens
Hudson: "Hey Vasquez, you ever been mistaken for a man?"
Vasquez: "No, have you?"
And Xander Berkeley playing the foster dad, who played George Mason on 24 and Gregory on The Walking Dead. T2 is full of "hey, it's that guy!" moments.
James Cameron loves reusing actors. She also played the Irish mother in the lower class section in Titanic, the one who dies in her cabin with her two little kids. Shes got great range.
One interesting change in the directors cut was that after being frozen, the T1000 was partially damaged, causing him to occasionally glitch out, and it was this that allowed John to work out which was the real Sarah and which was the fake.
But isn't it better thematically, with a better payoff, that John can recognize his mother intuitively?
@@ergoat Yeah I didnt say it was better, just interesting. I do like it because it does address the criticism that the T1000 is unrealistically OP, he can still be damaged.
Having that little glimmer of hope, showing that it is at least possible to damage him, rather than being so OP that you begin to ask "why are you even bothering shooting it?"
they still showed him glitching out in the theatrical cut, you can see it at 27:08.
@@back2back379 I never saw that as a glitch as much as some kind of scanning mode, as there was nothing else to indicate what it was
The Terminator was a 6 million dollar movie, pretty cheap even then. Terminator 2 costed about 100 million dollar and it was at that time the most expensive movie in history.
A large reason this one looks a lot better than the first is T1 had a relatively low budget, the studio really upped the budget for T2 after the huge success of the first.
A mirror cost more than paying for another actor? That's crazy
@@procyon6370 What?
Damnit, I responded to the wrong comment.
One of the best Action Movies and Sequels of all time.
The real question is Cameron's Aliens or Cameron's Terminator 2; which one is the better sequel?
And pretty much Schwarzenegger's greatest performance.
@@jjjones8609 I think thats a matter of opinion. Both iconic movies, great cinematography, same Director, but different Universe
@@tedbaker3846 I think both are great. I would give Aliens the title of the better of the two. Both great action, but Terminator 1 and 2 or similar with regards to character growth. Aliens gives Ripley more growth/depth than the first movie. Whereas Terminator 2 doesn't give Connor any real growth/depth to her character.
@@jjjones8609 t2.
t2 took everything terminator did and just did it a 100 times better.
aliens is a totally different genre than alien AND you could argue about both movies being better than the other.
i have basically never seen/heard a person (and of course NOW some troll will) saying "t1 is better than t2".
The cop the T-1000 kills at the vending machine when he morphs back to human form from the flooring, the actors are identical twins.
Linda Hamilton is a twin as well.
I wonder which twin got to kill and be killed.
@@richetoku RIP Linda’s twin. Passed away last year (she was a nurse). I wonder if it was Covid related
@@richetoku there is a number of shots where she is playing Sarah.
23:46 those were the times where if you wanted to shoot a helicopter flying under a bridge, you had to fly a helicopter under a bridge. the camera stuff actually refused to shoot this scene because it was so dangerous that they didnt wanna shoot a scene where so much stuff could go wrong or someone even might get killed. So Cameron did shoot the scene himself and afterwards he admitted that it was crazy dangerous
This movie considered one of the best action movies ever created. One of my fav
And the CGI still holds up to today. Or i guess it just hasn't improved that much ever since.
The effects still hold up 30 years later
While an unnecessary scene, the directors cut has an technically fascinating scene where Linda Hamilton's twin sister was used to perform a shot where Sarah had to be reflected in a mirror, but they couldnt actually use a real mirror.
@@logandarklighter That scene, plus Sarah's first dream sequence with the Kyre Reese cameo and setting the stage for the full context dream sequence later on. Also I like adding the subtle bit where we see the T-1000 start to malfunction after the freezing, offering that little glimmer of hope, like all they are doing to it is having at least some effect.
Not unnecessary, it gives a more detailed and logical explanation as to why the Terminator was able to become self-aware and make choices for itself. It was pretty much the last scene that Cameron cut because Arnold pressured him to trim the movie down by another couple of minutes, so he had to pick a scene to remove and he chose that one. Arnold also said that he was upset that Cameron chose to cut that scene as it was actually his favorite scene in the film.
@@windowsVD it was unnecessary in that the information was already conveyed much simpler earlier on.
The directors cut scene with Sarah fixing the terminator actually provides more info on how the terminator could understand feelings and emotions.
@@acecarrier3371 no, it doesn't. It's just a longer explanation that was already stated.
The budget for the first Terminator was under $7 million. The budget for T2 was $100 million. So, yeah, it looks a little better.
It's cool that you're seeing this without knowing that Arnold is the good guy this time. They gave it away in the trailer for everyone else. When I saw it, I realized it was obviously made to be ambiguous at first. You weren't supposed to know until the showdown in the hallway.
This movie is a masterpiece honestly. Easily One of Greatest movies Ever. The Best sequence Ever i guess
Man Robert Patrick really killed It with Beeing the T-1000. So freaking Fire 🔥 the Best Terminator antagonist in history
Great reaction its aprimate!!
Yes, such an iconic villain, and acted out with nuance and subtlety to make it terrifying and intimidating.
one thing that didn't make sense to me in this movie was how the t-1000 walks after john until he gets the bike started, then he starts running after him. i would think it would be running full speed after him from the moment he saw him as killing him is it's only objective. but i guess then he would have caught and killed him and there would be no movie.
@@Jack_80 Perhaps the T-1000 was just being overconfident. :)
@@prodigy84bg it's supposed to be a machine that doesn't have emotions, to prevent it from having such weaknesses like letting his target escape because it was overconfident.
@@Jack_80 I know and that's why I added a smiley at the end.
I prefer the extended cut myself, but I have seen T2 countless times through the years. This is also the end of the story in my book. After this it is popcorn flicks :-)
Exactly! All other sequels don't even come close, even not the latest one with Linda Hamilton.
I really liked what TSCC was doing. Garret Dillahunt and Summer Glau are fantastic Terminators.
That alternate ending feels out of place though.
The extended/deleted scenes aren’t out of place and I don’t think they affect the pacing like people claim.
Sarah’s dream of Reece is the catalyst for her escape attempt, and it’s a scene that takes place before the T-1000 acquires John, so the pace hasn’t picked up yet.
“What’s wrong with Wolfie?”, “Wolfie’s just fine”. Checks the dog’s name tag - Max. We see where T-1000 realises he’s given his plan away.
Resetting the T-800 cpu gives more context to how he learns to blend in more and not be so “robotic”, and it happens after they have escaped the T-1000 so they have respite, the pace at that point has slowed down anyway.
The final showdown where we see the T-1000 glitching, the moment when he confronts John and Sarah appears behind him, John looks at the T-1000s feet and sees they have glitched to the floor, making it easier to identify who’s who.
So for me, those scenes give a little bit more context and don’t really hurt the pace of the movie. The alternate ending is an interesting touch, but I prefer the original ending.
Probably the Best action movie Ever
Definitely the best Terminator in History
You can omit "Probably" or "action", or even both.
Definitely, the extreme edition is my favorite version. It adds a few scenes but I feel they add even more depth to the film. A few of my favorite scenes being; after Silberman tells the guards that he doesn't like patients messing up their rooms, where we get to see some of their abuse of her, but the scene after we get a dream sequence with Kyle Reese in it. Another scene is where Dyson is working on stuff, and his wife comes to talk to him and he talks a bit about why he making the chip and what it could be used for, and she and the kids convince him to stop working for the day so they can go to a waterpark. In another scene, John and arnie are talking about him learning, and arnie says that his chip's learning protocol thing is shut off. So they open his head up and take the chip out and Sarah almost crushes the chip and john convinces her to not to destroy it. They then flip the switch on the chip and put it back in. There are a few other scenes that I feel help the film in little tiny ways (not that the movie at all needs it), while not overly sacrificing the pacing.
Its cool to see the reactions of people who didn't know Arnold was the protector. Back in the day the promo campaign spoiled that way before it even came out.
I remember how Arnold went on Arsenio Hall to promote this film and mentioned how it’s a kinder, gentler terminator. I loved the film but would’ve preferred going into the theater thinking Arnold is once again the villain only to be surprised by the plot twist that he’s now the protector.
One of the best action movies of all time for sure. Still holds up really well IMO. Absolutely love how well they build up how terrifying that T-1000 is
“I swear I won’t kill anyone” 💥💥💪
BANG BANG (shoots knees of guard out)
“He’ll live.”
One of the best action movies ever.
Surprised someone is thinking the theatrical cut is the best cut. Really? No Kyle, no head-opening scene, shorter metal plant scene.
Yeah, seriously. Who told him that?
The chip reset scene is covered by a new line of dialogue. The alternate ending has some terrible old age make-up.the Kyle scene seems more to get Biehn into the movie sonewhere than add anything necessary. The only thing I miss is the Terminator trying to smile.
I think it’s mainly the ending that people prefer the theatrical version for. Everything else about the directors cut is fantastic though.
I HATE watching his feet right before Sarah's shotgun blow out...completely kills the momentum for me
For historical context it's important to watch what was presented to the majority of viewers at release.
T-1000 copy of guard in hospital was played by a twin brother of the guard actor. Same with Sarah copy - it was Linda Hamilton's twin sister Lesly.
This is the first time I've ever seen someone watch this not knowing Arnold would turn out to be the good one.
We all wish we could have seen it like that but the trailers (and word of mouth) spoiled it for nearly everyone.
Can we take a minute to appreciate how great a character Miles Dyson is? As a kid, I never really appreciated how awesome he is, makes me wonder if he was a reference to Lt. Commander Ronald Macnair who died in the challenger explosion.
Saw this in the theaters when it came out. I remember renting it when I slept over at a friends house. We spent the whole night watching it over and over. I think we watched it 5 times and passed out around 5am.
Robert Patrick, linda Hamilton, Arnold and James Cameron are legends for making This masterpiece so perfect. Shout out to Them 🔥🔥
And Edward Furlong !
This movie was made 7 years later with the budget 17 times bigger than the first one.
I watched T2 for the first time... almost 28 years ago, as a young impressionable kid. Still remains the best movie I have ever seen, regardless of genre.
I would totally watch you react to the Director’s Cut now. There are some great new scenes in it.
He already did, the theatrical version is the director's cut
Joe Morton with two great movie sacrifices. Here as Miles Dyson and in the Snyder Cut as Cyborg's father.
This movie is a cinematic achievement, and it’s aged beautifully. The action was was very creative and the cinematography is excellent
Perfection, the extra content is well worth it in the other versions. Maybe just check it out on YT 👍
Well... except for the alternate playground ending. Needs to keep the original highway at night voice over
at the VERY least look up the trailers online
@@k1productions87 True. I'm all for the special edition version.
@@k1productions87 in hindesight, part of me wishes they HAD used that in the original theatrical cut…would have served to avoid all the fandom splitting the sub par sequels brought out…
@@trayolphia5756 I wasn't aware there was that much of a split?
T3 and Salvation are passable, GeniSys and Dark Fate, pretty bad...
Seems like that might be the broad consensus.
What I love about watching people's reactions to Terminator 2:Judgement Day, is everyone asks out loud various questions, and 5 seconds or so later, it gets answered by the characters. Goes to show how well thought out the storyline is.
At 13:19 none of the cameramen wanted to take the shot because they were too afraid of the falling debree, so James Cameron grabbed the camera and did it himself.
Best sequel to ANY movie bro, good to see you keeping up the reactions!!
Always!
Wait untill you se terminator 3... even larcer number ;)
I prefer the Director's cut. It has some extra interesting scenes, but the same ending as the theatrical. I could have them mixed up and be thinking of the extended cut. Whichever has the same ending as theatrical is the one I prefer.
The extended version had the T-1000 going out of control of his copying after getting frozen at the end, which is better, I think. In the theatrical there's no real reason they are able to kill him easier or figure out he was copying Sarah except "love" or something. I also like the T-1000's gentle search of John's room, it really makes him more distinct and stealthy from the T-800. Scarier in a very different way. I don't really care about the chip surgery scene, it doesn't really add anything except a great practical effect. The smile scene and Sarah's Kyle Reese hallucination are 100% superfluous and dumb.
@@KlooKloo Surgery scene is essential tho - it explains why this t-800 started to evolve and learn. It also gives insight into skynet - ai that rebelled against creators and was afraid of his creation rebelling. T-1000 was never used in war because Skynet was afraid of lack of control over it. It also ironic that skynet defeat was at hands of t800 that learned human emotions..
@@KlooKloo The T-1000 glitching is also in the Director's cut (aka special edition). The only scenes unique to the extended cut were the T-1000 searching John's room and the alternate ending.
No, the theatrical version IS the director's cut
@@MarCuseus Cameron may prefer the theatrical version, but you're just gonna confuse people even more.
Fun fact: Dwight Yokam is playing on the jukebox in the bar scene. He's a country legend
He's also Raul from Panic Room 😂
He was really good in Sling Blade. I love that movie.
One of the best Sci-fi action films EVER made!
Little Trivia: Linda Hamilton's twin sister, Leslie Hamilton Gearren, was used as a double in scenes involving two "Sarah Connors" (for example, when the T-1000 was imitating her), and in a scene not in the theatrical release (but on the DVD) as a mirror image of Linda.
"My man GTA this shit!" Lol, best quote of the video.
The only thing I prefer in the extended cut, is them removing Arnold’s inhibitor chip that allows him to learn empathy.
It also gives more weight to the moment when Sarah and the Terminator shake hands at the end.
That's also in the Director's cut.
It is a fine scene, but I see why they left it out. It isn´t really needed.
I guess the same can be said for most of the extended scenes in Aliens - they are nice enough but not really needed.
@@fastertove If you took out every scene that aren’t necessarily needed for the story to remain functional for every movie, most of them would end up a lot worse. Often at times, it’s the little scenes that ground the characters and the world they inhabit. To me, it’s less about “is it needed” but rather “does it add anything of value”. In this instance, sure, this scene isn’t needed for the story to stay functional, but not only does it add further explanation into how the Terminator functions that matches the original better, but it also recontextualizes Sarah’s relationship with the Terminator in this film. The chip removal scene shows Sarah actually trying to destroy the Terminator the first chance she gets. It shows that she still sees it as a mindless killing machine and outright hates it, where as in the theatrical version, it just makes her seem vaguely skeptical of the Terminator. It adds more payoff to the moment at the end when Sarah chooses to shake hands with the Terminator, showing how far she’s come going from viewing him as the enemy to accepting him as a friend. The movie technically doesn’t “need” this scene, but for me, it works better with it than without it.
No, director's cut is way better. It has Terminator reprogramming scene and many other important scenes.
I don't really like that they have to program him to be a good guy or to be able to develop into a good guy it's much more impactful than a machine solely meant to kill decides to value life not because he's programmed but because he's learned to be a better Android
@@lectornox It's clear you don't understand the story. Skynet programmed the Terminators to lack the ability to think and reason for themselves. They aren't human; they can't just "learn" on their own. This is why they had to reset the CPU, which gave it the ability to start learning again. Did you really not watch the movie?
The only part of the Director's Cut I don't like is the different ending with the playground and old Sarah
I also HATE when you see his feet melted to the steel, I feel like it kills the momentum of Sarah's final shotgun standoff
@@k1productions87 That is the Extended Cut, not the Director's Cut (or the Special Edition).
I like the Extended Cut because I seen them all and I love drawn out stuff, if only for more information and worldbuilding. I have the opposite of ADD or something.
But the theatrical cut is a good first time watch, there you can go back and watch the other versions while looking for symbolization, secrets, and background dive.
Same, I was honestly under the impression that most fans preferred the director's cut.
That's the 3rd version w/ the alternate ending.
@@windowsVD Director's cut and extended cut are different.
@@jp3813 Most people are generally referring to the Director's Cut when mentioning the extended cut.
@@windowsVD Others also think that the Director's Cut has an alternate ending.
I prefer the directors extended because the scene where Arnold has his CPU removed and put into read/write mode so he can learn new things, is really good.
The ending, even in little pieces like this, still gets me emotional. The acting, music, lines, and all just made it so powerful.
22:10 the police officer who said "pull back!" is the same actor as Hank from Breaking Bad
The scene where Arnold is walking naked through the bar he was actually wearing bright ass swimming trunks lmao
Just to share, this was the first R-rated movie I ever watched when I was 7-8 years old. It made me fall in love with technology machine themed characters and enemies in media. As far as versions I prefer? I prefer the Theatrical version. It turned out to be the one I started with. The problem with most Director's Cut versions of movies, they tend to over explain or show too much to the audience what's happening on screen and why.
LETS GET IT ON 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
YEAAH BOISSSSS
@@ItsAPrimatee The guy taking photos at the shopping mall is the same guy in T1 he`s the cop Arnold knocks out and takes his cop car uses his voice.... and R,I,P the Leslie Hamilton Linda`s twin as seen in the dream/mirror parts of the movie :):)
13:27 Fun fact: That shotgun reload, although cool to do and see, is actually not physically possible.
Someone on set accidentally swapped the prop shotgun Arnold needed to use with a real shotgun. When he did the reload, he almost broke his fingers.
I LOVE that no one ruined the twist for you. Seeing your genuine surprise was great
I’m surprised you haven’t seen this… unlike Star Wars or Marvel, this is an all-time talked about classic that you cannot avoid.
lol star wars was a culturally defining film. It's infinitely more talked about than terminator. But of course he's seen it; all these reactors are pathalogical liars
@@blastprocessing3115 i don't know what's so hard to understand that not all people watched the movies you did, most reactors are definitely NOT liars
Super easy to avoid, since it came out before he was born.
Star Wars is more of a classic than Terminator and is more talked about….. by a lot.
Star Wars isn't an all time talked about classic in what universe?
I like parts of the Director's Cut (Kyle's appearance especially) but I think a first time viewer should watch the theatrical version first-- it flows a bit better and has the better ending. With repeat viewings you can enjoy all the bonus scenes.
The Director's/Special Cut has the same ending. The Extended Cut has the alternate ending.
@@goldenheart4575 Wrong, the theatrical version IS the "director's cut"
@@MarCuseus I am going to repeat the same reply I gave to you in a different comment thread:
_"I am talking about the Special Edition that is commonly referred to as the Director’s Cut. You never heard of a Director’s Cut? They usually contain scenes different or removed from the Theatrical Version since directors are usually forced to trim scenes so the theaters can sell more seats during showings. This is common knowledge."_
Agreed. I did love how in the directors cut where it showed that Sarah still loved Kyle, and was grieving for him.
@@goldenheart4575 In the case of T2 the theatrical cut happens to be the director's cut.
thisorthatedition.com/terminator-2-judgment-day-1991/
The song "You Could Be Mine" by Guns n Roses, is played in that movie.
I remember scene when T-1000 came out of elevator and start running is scared shit out of me when I was kid
Also if you are checking 80s classics check out rambo,die hard , and 90s check out rush hour
And now you won´t ever need to watch another action movie, since you have now seen the greatest there is, there was and there ever will be.
In the interviews Cameron said that the Terminator did experience fear of death at the end when it was sacrificing itself. So it seems they can learn and "feel" emotions too. It's mostly expressing them that they're not used to.
By sheer coincidence, I watched this film for the first time on August 29th 1997. I was 16 and was staying at my older brother's place, he had a Laser Disc player (look it up) and a large stacker entertainment system and he let me pick any film to watch, I picked this one.
That opening dialogue scared the life out of me (for those that aren't getting it, Sarah Connor's opening dialog describes Judgement Day as August 29th 1997, the day the nukes go off) needless to say I was absolutely riveted. No matter what film you watch, if it describes an apocalypse as happening on the day you watch the film, you pay attention to the film.
It caused a very unique movie watching experience and one I doubt will ever happen again.
That must’ve been fun. I read a Stephen King novel on the actual day that the story takes place. Cool feeling.
I prefer this version of 2, keep in mind moving forward that Rise of the machines, Genisys and Dark Fate are all done like alternative time line versions of 3
If you're going to continue then I'd recommend going to Terminator Dark Fate - that ties into the continuity nicely. Then go to Terminator 3, Terminator Salvation and Terminator Genisys for a sense of perspective. The Directors Cut of this one did add some more humanity into it - watch it if you can because it's worth seeing for that extra depth.
Well, from here on in its dramatically diminishing returns.
3 has some great ideas, but the direction is rote and its really a bit of a shoddy follow up to what is admittedly one of the greatest sequels ever made.
Salvation again - some nice ideas here and there, but no pink lasers! 😂
Genysis is awful throughout and Dark Fate is all sorts of horseshit.
@@kalofkrypton To a degree I'm always perplexed by the issues which people have around Genisys and Dark Fate. It's a shame that they didn't follow through with the original plan to have the closing trilogy with Salvation and whatever the other two movies would have been, but the idea of Genisys was an interesting take on overlapping timelines and Dark Fate segues nicely into the end of Judgement Day and spins it nicely (I won't spoil anything for him).
@@Gavrev my main issues with them is their combined creative bankruptcy and obvious attempts at being little more than franchise cash ins.
While T3 is pretty lackadaisical, I really do think the ending is fantastic.
Salvation is boring, morose and charmless. Genysis is more a badly written, badly cast hot mess of everything we've seen before and Dark Fate - well, once again lots of things we've seen before combined with an utterly toothless antagonist (partly because we've seen it all before) that seemingly goes out of it's way to not kill the people it's hunting while still managing to kill lots of people. T1 and T2 are incredibly tight in that regard. The antagonist terminators behave like infiltration units - their interactions outside of their targets are pretty limited other than where necessary to get to them, and there was always the feeling that they were trying to kill them, and anyone caught in the crossfire was just collateral as opposed to an excuse for an action sequence. More I'd say of DF I can't without spoilers, but it played out almost exactly as expected in most aspects.
It doesn't help of course that the first film was so unique and Judgment Day was so very expertly crafted - but there's a point where a franchise just runs out of steam (usually when it just becomes a cash cow), and that point was T3 for me.
I'd argue that Sarah Connor Chronicles was far superior than the rest of the sequels.
This is the director's cut. Neither of the extended cuts are "director's cut".
@@MarCuseus Okay, if you want to split hairs, there's the theatrical cut, the extended cut and the extended alternate end cut.
Great reaction dude and I absolutely love this film! This film deserves all the praise it gets and I love it how it explores the humanity that the t-800 slowly gains and sarah's loss of humanity as she hunts down Dyson, but she manages to stop herself from doing what a terminator would do, great sequel and stellar acting from Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton, Robert Patrick and Edward Furlong!
Thanks!
t2 can only be described as a perfect sequel that is one of the very few movies that surpass the original concept an james cammeron mange to do it with 2 different francises this an aliens
I’d have said go with directors cut, really surprised so many people told you otherwise.
The best sequel ever to any movie. I wasn't even that big a fan of the first one but this sequel is a masterpiece!
Linda Hamilton's reaction when they asked her to come back for "Dark Fate": 15:33
Imagine the technology jump from a mechanical terminator 101, to a freaking liquid metal terminator that can take practically any (non-complex(guns) form.
I can't believe anyone would think a theatrical version is better than an extended/director's cut, for _any_ film. You got misinformed, ItsAPrimate.
Why? It's true in the vast majority of cases.
For a first time watching the pacing is better. Now that he's an advanced Terminator II viewer he can watch that.
Eh even the director said he prefers the theatrical release but everyone has an opinion!
The very end last scene is better than the future scene in the special edition. There are 2 scenes from the special edition that I would have used in the theatrical version but thats about it. Everyone has there opinion but I prefer the theatrical version. you can always watch those scenes on the dvd/blu-ray.
@@Andy2481 By the "future scene", do you mean where the playground survives? To my knowledge, that hasn't been used in _any_ version, only available in deleted scenes. I have the director's cut, and it still ends with the open road. Was the playground ending used in the Special Edition?
Best sequel in ALL existence.
Easily on the top 10 Best movies Ever made honestly because is so Epic
Definitely Best Terminator movie
For sure Man
This is masterpiece 🔥🔥
Fun fact: The scene were the T-1000 mimics Sara Connor's appearance and call for John is actually Linda Hamilton's twin sister, Leslie Hamilton.
FUN FACT: the actor who played the T1000 practiced shooting with his eyes open so he wouln't blink whenever the T1000 pulled the trigger!
Lol?! Was that Dean Norris as the Swat guy?! He's in everything!
i noticed that too. right before the explosion
Been waiting for this one! Love the reactions 😁👏
Thanks!
@@ItsAPrimatee The best way to explain the Terminator timeline is the way Back To The Future does it in part 2 it over simplifies it :):)
Not sure which versions are which, but I enjoyed whichever non-theatrical version I saw.
This film was revolutionary for it's time one of the first to use CGI special effects leading into a new age of filmmaking
Bro, I don't know who would tell you that the theatrical cut is better than the directors cut! The Directors cut is what the Director has in mind to show without deleted or edited scenes! More details in the directors cut!
"I actually think the movie stands. I didn't feel a compelling need to change anything editing-wise other than to just get it to the highest possible standard of color and picture and everything else" - James Cameron
It's really not that uncommon that the Theatrical Cut is the Director's true vision. Ridley Scott was essentially TOLD to make the "Director's Cut" of Alien and the end result is something he's stated isn't his intended vision and overall hurt the pacing
@@FireLordIroh Understood that the extended version can at times ruin the pacing. But it will also show details that otherwise seem confusing to a viewer (like why the T-1000 had glitches after being exposed to the nitrogen. If you ever watched The Lord of the Rings trilogy, most would agree, watch the director's (Extended) cut to truly appreciate the full version of the films.
@@jaybird8192 Tbf I never said my preference of T2 and my favorite film of all time is Fellowship of the Ring Extended. You shouldn't take the most extreme example of a Director's Cut as an explanation of why 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 are vital to the intended vision. (Edit: Technically the Extended Edition nor the Theatrical Cut are Peter Jackson's preference. He's gone on record as saying his vision lies somewhere between the two cuts of the LOTR Trilogy) Plus this is still Tolkien you're talking about; just isn't remotely the same tier.
The fact many (arguably most) Director's Cuts are studio mandated for Anniversaries remains. Although, the statement "Films are never finished only released" still rings true.
My only point was that the "T2: Director's Cut" isn't Cameron's preference; which I mentioned since you said "The Directors cut is what the Director has in mind" even though the dictionary definition doesn't account for complexities of the business
I hope you don't take this as a shot at you. Only clarifying
@@FireLordIroh No offense taken. My point is: All those scene's are filmed, then reviewed, and only to not make a 3 hour theatrical version (for example) it gets edited and cut down to a 2 hr. 20 min. Theatrical version. But it was still filmed by the director as he wanted it filmed, and more likely than not be released as " The director's cut" at a future date. For me: The extended version of LOTR is the best version of those films. It explains a lot more for those who have not read the books. ( Like why Gimley fell in love with Gabriella.)
**FACEPALM**
The theatrical version IS the "director's cut"....
One of the greatest sequels ever made. Skip the rest.
He should watch the others for the experience and form his own opinion.
@@Shritistrang People already complained about Star Wars prequels, Pirates of the Caribbean and the Indiana Jones newest movies, he still watched them and liked them too so no reason for it to be different this time fortunately.
@@Tacticaviator7 Yes, that is a big plus in my opinion.
@@davidmeadows5627 yeah
@@WrestlingSmarks same
Unfortunately the marketing for this movie totally spoiled the surprise of Arnold being the good guy, so we all knew it from the very beginning.
Terminator 2 Judgement Day first came out, everyone knew Arnold Schwarzenegger was the good guy because some of the promotions ruined the surprise. Because it's been so long, nobody remembers the promos, so people seeing the movie get to experience the surprise exactly how James Cameron intended.
I hope you get the chance to see the extended/director’s cut. There are some awesome new/extended scenes, plus an alternate ending. Even though I like the theatrical ending better. It’s very simple and straight to the point. 💜
The theatrical version IS the "director's cut"....
This is the Digital noise reduction, ugly teal version. You gotta watch the special edition with the grain intact.
I'm 31 years old and, to this day, no movie villain terrifies me as much as the T-1000. Robert Patrick did a phenomenal, *PHENOMENAL* job, and he was an even better villain than Arnie was in the first movie.
Terminator: horror movie
Terminator 2: best action movie
Theatrical Cut is the one to go. I grew up with it, I love it, it shaped me as a person. The extended cut has some weird goofy scenes that do not fit the tone of this movie, for me at least.
And yes, this is the best action movie ever made alongside Mad Max: Fury Road!
You gotte watch Terminator 3 man it is awesome.
I’ve noticed that the best directors/creators (Spielberg, Cameron etc.) were 200% solely focused on telling a great story. They were not focused or distracted about pampering their egos like 99% of all other film creators. They genuinely cared about the story and expressing it through film. I think this is their secret to success.
When You think about it, the fat bar owner is the true hero of this movie, if he hadn't go out with the shotgun, T-100 would have had to acquire a weapon from another source and not found John Connor in time and he would have let skynet win.
I disagree. I think this particular Terminator - who I designate “Uncle Bob” because that’s what John named him - after John resets him to be able to learn - did in fact learn emotion at some level right near the end. He still can’t express it very well. But he understands.
EDIT: Since you saw the theatrical release, you did NOT see a very important deleted scene that most fans agree should be considered a standard part of the movie and is on the extended cuts of the film.
Long story short - after they get away from the T-1000 at the hospital the first time and holed up. John realizes after the Terminator says that Skynet sends the Terminators out in “read only” mode that he and Sarah with technical help and description from the Terminator, can “reset” the Terminator’s CPU so that it CAN learn and grow. And they do this.
This is important because once you see that scene it makes all the scenes with John teaching “Uncle Bob” make sense. It also makes the subtle evolution of the T-800 into something more human-like as the film progresses from that point to the end make sense.
Fun fact: the guy that created Skynet is the same actor who plays Silas Stone, he created Cyborg in Justice League
They should’ve put him in the Robocop remake as one of the creators of Robocop. Maybe put him in Star Trek film as a member of The Borg.
By watching this so many years later, you missed the spoiler that everyone into sci-fi and action movies was exposed to before the film was released. Arnie being the protector this time was open knowledge.
history, right here, i still don't know how tf they made that "walking through bars" shot with the gun getting stuck
There is a cut... as simple as that... but its really well done
@@matsv201 the whole movie is a mindblowing experience
@@officialflikz there is a youtuber that made a video of all the tricks they used that was not cgi..
And its a lot
