I think Miles Dyson is an underrated hero in this franchise. Upon learning what his life's work would lead to, he immediately resolved to destroy it. Without hesitation. And gave his life for it.
The "I know now why you cry, but it's something I could never do" line and the hand giving the thumbs up as it disappears into the molten steel ALWAYS hits in the feels no matter how many times I've seen this film
@Matrixnukum I am actually no, which is kinda funny given my tag. I actually came up with my username Fxzero originally for Diablo 2 back in the day, not even knowing that F-zero existed. I just thought it was cool.
..Always thought those were the sappy ass, corny parts they coulda left out. I remember me and my buddies rolling our eyes and just kinda chucklin' at the 'thumbs up...' but the Tears shit?..That chapped our asses. We remembered the original Terminator with absolutely no heart, no soul, no remorse, no mercy and relentless in his mission to terminate his target. He is a machine and shouldn't be askin' about tears and crap when their are folks needin' killin'. It was what put Arnold on the map. He was like Jason or michael myers with a flat top and a micro chip ....Now he's Jaime Sommers and C3PO's love child
@@jbpoole then you missed the point. In that film the T-800 was reprogrammed to protect John and when being asked about his creation said the chip they are given can be set to learn but Skynet sets it to read only so they are more controllable. The point is that when they can learn, they can start to value life rather than just killing. Plus it helps contrast the hero T-800 from the T-1000 that was still set to kill
It's the chips that needed destroyed. Not the arm itself. It was the chip from the first terminator that started the entire thing. Not the arm he left behind.
Sarah essentially becoming a terminator when going after Dyson is an often missed juxtaposition, notice she doesn’t flinch or blink when firing at him full auto, showing she has become “the machine”
Even her motivations were the same, destroy the "parent" of the enemy before the threat happens, which was also skynet's original reason for turning on humanity too; because it saw us as a potential threat and acted before we did.
18:50 - That moment where Sarah orders the cop out of the car and IMMEDIATELY puts a bullet in the windshield the second he doesn't comply is my favorite moment in the entire movie. It's such an incredible piece of character transformation for Sarah, you get such a clear idea of the kind of person she's become since the events of the first film.
It's what makes Sarah Conner one of the most famous and beloved female action heroes in history. She doesn't start out as a badass, nor does she become one just because the story needs her to be. It's a logical and believable evolution with the movie referring back to what she was up to after the first movie; Hanging out with military guys and even showing her doing physical training while locked up in the mental institution. It also doesn't make her a superhero; It shows her in fear, anger, frustration in the video interview, the trauma when she meets the terminator again and just runs like hell not even noticing her son to almost becoming like a terminator herself when she nearly kills Dyson. But in modern movies in Hollywood, they tend to make all women badass and flawless. A good example ofcourse being Rey in Star Wars. And it just makes them so boring and unbelievable as characters.
Sarah already knows the danger and relentless-ness of Terminators and she knows there is no time for non-compliance to orders. The first one taught her a REAL good lesson. They have to get away and the T-1000 is on their a**!!
It's weird, my fave scene is when the terminators both get their hands on the shotgun, and then each tries to muscle it away from the other and nothing happens, so they both just stand there for a moment, each recalculating the fact that the other is unexpectedly much stronger than an average human. Sort of like in the first one, when the terminator gets in the truck and tries to drive it but discovers that it's a manual, so then he has to just sit there staring at it for a second, while he recalculates how to make it work.
The galleria was filmed at the Santa Monica mall , which is no longer there. Right across the street you have the 3rd Street Promenade . And about a block away , you have the beach .
I grew up watching this movie every day pretty much. The ending still gets me. " I know how why you cry but its something I can never do. " epic Terminator theme and thumbs up. Best ending ever. Best movie ever. Period.
"If a machine, a terminator, can learn the value of human life, maybe we can too". That line always gets to me! I'm so glad you enjoyed T2. I must say you're one of the brighter people I've seen on these reaction channel's. You seem to pick up on things and see where the stories going far before it's revealed. Another Great sci-fi Cameron to check out is "The Abyss" (1989) starring Ed Harris, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, and yes Micheal Biehn. It's a must!
@@Cheepchipsable Actually the movie specifically says the Terminator "learned". Not only did Sarah say it at the end, but the Terminator himself says (in the directors cut) that he can learn. The entire concept of the story is based on the idea that skynet became smart. And as far as a glorified toaster goes, one could make the argument that humans are really nothing more than glorified toasters.
@@danieltate6092 Take the time to enjoy the trolls. They give us reason to laugh. It's always funny to see how far someone can experience "cranial rectitis. "
@@danieltate6092 We are naturally occurring learning machines, and we don't learn with a specific purpose. We learn lots of things which might be useful or may not. In any case it doesn't meant that robots aren't glorified toasters. "Learning" something isn't the same as understanding it. Chimps learned to operate spacecraft and fly planes. Plenty of people operate machines which they have no understanding of the principles behind them, Skynet might have has some programing to identify threats, or future threats to itself but that doesn't mean that would be programmed into every device it created. At best a terminator would be a lunar rover with enough knowledge to get by and info on how to pass as human, (despite talking with a thick accent - must have used software from the Austrian division of skynet) Didn't the franchise also say metallic objects can't be sent through time without an organic covering...oh wait! 😉
"I can't imagine people's reaction when it's like 'Wait, he's here to *protect* John Conner?'"" - Unfortunately all the trailers and marketing for the movie gave away the twist, so pretty much no one was caught by surprise. It's only now that we have reactions from younger people and others who missed the phenomenon, that there's an audience who can experience the reveal in the way the movie expects you to.
What is amazing is that even after the T-1000 murders the cop on his arrival there are some idiots still thought he must be a good guy! While totally ignoring the fact Arnie doesn't kill anyone in the diner. Maybe IQ levels have dropped 🤔
The only thing is that T1000 is so obviously a Terminator, even before the reveal... I don't know how, but they should've toned down the machine factor on T1000 up until the events at the arcade.
I was 9 and some how my cousins got me in to see this in a theatre. I remember being beside myself watching this . It was fucking awesome! And the fact that my older cousins wanted me to experience it was super cool. I’m buzzing with nostalgia right now 😊
In 1991 I can guarantee you that a lot of people were surprised by the twist simply because there was no Internet and no easy way as today's to watch trailers and marketing material at all. That is a very American- and privileged-centric point of view.
Not at all, there were strict gags in order and it was a surprise to most on release, now though when people act surprised it's hard to believe, just to reiterate though your comment simply isn't true
Great reaction, pretty interesting. To me, Terminator 2 is the greatest action-movie ever made. Not only it's great action movie with everything you want from such a movie (great characters played by great actors, great story, great direction, great effects, great action sequences.) but it also has that little thing that makes a great movie an absolute masterpiece : it bears a message, it asks a question : What makes us, humans, different fro machines ? And, as characters, Sarah and the T-800 have mirroring journey : The Terminator is getting more and more human while, until John stops her from killing Dyson, is getting more and more machine-like, to the point where John is the only thing that keeps her human Since you think this is a perfect conclusion, I wouldn't recommend you watch the next Terminator movie, none of them are even close from the quality of these 2 first movies.
This is not an action movie though. Remember? There had never been a female lead in an action movie until Jennifer Lawrence in Hunger Games. She said so herself. lol
Fun fact, Madison......The chase scene in the mall garage, where the T-1000 is chasing John on his motorbike, had to be reshot several times, because Robert Patrick kept catching the cycle! He was a track star in college and really that fast! Great watching with you!
I also love the in joke in the scene where T-1000 throws the T-800 through the window in the mall and as he turns to walk away notices the silver painted shop mannequin and just frowns at it
I'm fairly knowledgable with actors/actresses within the American film industry from being a big movie buff. It always surprises me how new viewers see Robert Patrick in T2, but never know who he is IRL. I've seen other roles very vividly: Ladder 49, The Marine or even the independent release Eye See You. Which I'll bet no one here even knows what that is. He also starred in The X-Files TV series after Fox Mulder's departure. There's also a humorous callback to T2 in The Marine where one of the criminals refers to John Cena's character like he's a terminator; right in front of Robert Patrick who angrily glares at him immediately afterwards. One of the only memorable moments from that C-grade experience, by the way.
@@digidv85 He was also the PE teacher in The Faculty and most recently Peacemaker's dad in the Peacemaker show which also starred John Cena. He was also one of the rogue soldiers in Die Hard 2
@@sporadicamnesic Right. I forgot about The Faculty. Definitely a weird horror film. Not so much weird in a totally negative way, just weird in general. I'd go into more detail, but that would involve spoilers so a random viewer obviously won't appreciate that.
One thing that is never mentioned once they have destroyed the original terminator's arm plus the chip is what happened to the other arm that was broken off from the more recent Terminator during the earlier epic Terminator battle.
BEST SCI-FI ACTION MOVIE EVER!! Rock star Billy Idol was almost cast as the Villainous T-1000, but got involved in a motorcycle accident, injuring his leg and had to drop out. Robert Patrick was cast instead. There's even earlier storyboard drawings that bear a striking resemblance to Idol.
Again Madison, I love re-watching these films with you. As a fellow film buff, and someone who watched it at the time, I could make so many comments, but one that stood out was ... : 50:32 - James Cameron filmed a dream sequence with Michael Biehn and Linda Hamilton, but it got cut from the final release. It was probably the original idea for the scene where Sarah falls asleep on the table in Mexico but they replaced it with the nuclear playground scene instead. AFAIR they dropped it for pacing reasons. Other things are that - This film was HUGE when it was released. Linda Hamilton was given serious props for her transformation, and it was the film that basically made Arnie the household name he is today. Cameron obvs went on to make Titanic as well. - Guns n Roses - There's no T2 without T1. The fact it still feels fresh with the number of callbacks and reversals in the writing is pretty damn impressive. One of the hardest callbacks is 07:24. Hard to watch at the time, and still hard now. - Some of the scenes (where Sarah takes a stick to the prison guard, and the Terminator walking through the SWAT team) were a LOT more violent in the theatrical cut. If you watch closely enough you can see the edits. I'll leave it there. Love your channel Madison !
@FrostyRobot - Cameron also liked working with Jenette Goldstein = who is one of the foster parents (Pvt. Vasquez from Aliens movie)... The same was with Michael Biehn, but like you have said, they cut that part off.
@@brandondetroitfanmichaels4325 And based on her interviews, she has a great respect for Cameron, giving some interesting details about working with him. She was also in Titanic after all, so there is that nice and professional connection between them. But yeah... .she is dying in his movies so I hear you about that ;)
They didn't plan the Michael Beihn scene for the dream in Mexico and replace it with the nuclear dream. If you watch the scene you see she's in the hospital for the first half of the dream talking to Kyle and then you see the beginning of her nightmare that she describes. While it is true that the scenes that got cut were done for pacing they weren't intended to be placed in other parts of the movie. The Kyle Dream takes place while she's tranqued out on Thorazine after being beaten by the orderly that licks her face later.
That is ridiculous hyperbole and patently, objectively untrue. Digital effects have progressed greatly since this movie. You only THINK that because this film blends practical and digital effects more than most movies do. It GROUNDS the effects well in several scenes... But that doesn't make them better or worse. This is still early CG which has objectively progressed much better. The MCU movies would not have been technically possible during this time. And the Lord Of The Rings trilogy on it's own blows this film out of the water. Most films have grown and evolved their techniques THANKS to this movie. But they have progressed much since then. If you don't think so, then you are literally wrong. Every single veteran in the industry and people who know more about film than you, will all line up to tell you this, as well.
Ah, yes. Known as “Linda Hamilton Terminator 2 Arms”. The bane of every trainer’s existence for years after this came out. Every female wanted them, and it was impossible to convince them just how unrealistic they are for the average person to get, and maintain. Even Linda Hamilton said her diet and workout routine were ridiculous to get those arms.
@Heather Qualy - for the average woman back then, not connected with a professional sport? An actress? Sure. A very hard work there, and much respect. Not as easy as it sounds for the average person. But now, we also know more, and have more access to the information. You can even follow somebody like - "megsquats" channel on youtube, or somebody like Jeff Cavaliere (ATHLEAN-X). Or plenty of others regarding diet and exercise. I would guess, it take a bit less effort right now to achieve that for women, that it used to be in the past (not that it won't require hard work, but it will be much more smooth and "easier" as you will have access to more knowledge about it, and also exercises).
I have watched many t2 reacts,but yours is pure gold. Why? You have all nature real emotions feelings,love that so muchos!! I was 24 when this hits at theatres back 1991. Did not see it but i remember cardboard stand movie prop add at cinema floor. It was at rovaniemi city in Finland. Yepp,and sorry me lingua,im no yankee or brittishh. A Big hug, and greets from Finland-suomi!!
38:15 Ask most 35 to 45-year-old men what movies have made them cry, and if they don't say this scene: call them out for lying. Many manly tears have been shed at this. Start reenacting it, say "There's one more chip..." and tap your temple; they'll get misty-eyed and start swearing at you.
The metal skeletons of the terminators are called T-800. When you put a human skin covering over it, there are thousands of designs that look like different humans. Any skin covering that looks like Arnold is called a CSM-101(Cyberdyne Systems Model-101). Arnold is the 101st design.
@@flaviusstilicho1239 When Terminator 2 was released in theaters, I bought the T2 trading cards which showed scenes, behinds the scenes and stated facts about the film. They mention Arnold being a T-800/CSM-101 in the cards but for some strange reason, they never mention the term “T-800” in the film. But you may be right, the term “T-800” might have been mentioned for the first time(on film) in Terminator 3 or Salvation.
In the movies the only time we see "T-800" is in the Terminator's HUD briefly. Kyle in Terminator 1 says "The 600 series had rubber skin we spotted them easy, but these are new they look human--" so it's correct to assume these would be T-700 or T-800 and as the HUD shows it's a T-800. The T-3 Arnold has been confirmed to be a T-850. The Arnold skin is a CSM101 and it's probable that it prefers to itself as the skin suit since that is what is one display as the infiltration tactic.
There’s something about the length of the pause before he says “I know now why you cry” as he looks at John. Idk what it is but it makes it so good to me. Idk if that’s weird to anyone else
I love the real life wow emojis you do in a lot of your videos, where you freeze for a few seconds with your eyes wide open and your mouth in an o. Great stuff.
It’s ok, I cried too the first time I watched it when I was 11. And I’m sure a ton of other people did. That’s the magic of James Cameron. Only he could pull off a story that can grasp your emotions to feel sympathy for a machine. I’m 42 now and have watched so many films throughout my life. Not one has moved me like this one did. And at this point, I’m sure there never will be.
Playground scene: "That was terrifying." Having that idea in my head growing up during the Cold War was pretty harsh. I remember many a night not being able to sleep thinking about it, especially living next to an Air Guard base that was likely a direct and early target. Still freaks me out from time to time.
What doesn't help is the fact that nuclear scientists said that this film's up close and personal depiction of the effects of a nuclear blast was the most accurate they had even seen! As for how it affected you, I understand completely. I got the same feeling from 2 made-for-TV movies from almost a decade before. "The Day After" (1983, USA) and "Threads" (1984, UK) scared the crap outta me! The first instilled great fear, the second broke what was left of my heart! I don't actually blame it for my 30 years of clinical depression, but it sure as hell didn't help! lol
@@robertcartier5088 Watching "The Day After" when it was first broadcast definitely gave me nightmares and "Threads" is way too realistic not to gut punch you. I agree that the nightmare nuclear explosion sequence is probably the most realistic ever attempted to simulate this on film but fortunately it is short enough to not permanent scar the viewer. I ended up interviewing a Western German exchange student after seeing TDA to ask him how he felt living in a possible nuclear battlefield with tactical weapons on either side of the border along with a 5-1 advantage of tanks on the Soviet side. Growing up during the Cold War definitely affects you. This film was released just after the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1991 when I was 22 when I saw it first run while attending WKU in Bowling Green, KY.
Lots of people got those dreams just from watching the evening news. I had quite a few dreams of seeing the mushroom clouds over NYC and trying in vain to convince my family that we needed to hurry up and get in a car and start driving north. Or more symbolic versions, such as Roman legions invading our town on elephants, conquering our neighborhood one house at a time, each house defended only by it's own inhabitants. But when I was younger, I also had similarly fearful dreams of waking up to find that a volcano formed under our home overnight and we were now teetering on the edge of the smoking crater. So maybe there were other issues working their way thru my mind, and the dreams of nukes and lava were just the vehicles to convey the message.
Ever since this crap with Russia and now China started kicking off, I've been having dreams of watching ICBMs flying over head and blowing up in the distance. And the bombs they have now absolutely dwarfs Fat Man and Little Boy.
When the first 'Terminator' movie was being cast, Arnold was originally cast as the soldier 'Kyle Reese'... Lance Henriksen was cast as the 'Terminator', like an ordinary-looking guy who could blend in to find & kill targets. But after reading the script, Arnold asked James Cameron, the director, that he wanted to play the Terminator... So, the Terminator was re-written as this unstoppable killing machine... Lance Henriksen was recast as the police detective... and Michael Biehn was cast as the soldier 'Kyle Reese'. For 'Terminator 2', Cameron went back to the original concept - Arnold played the protector... and Robert Patrick was cast as this ordinary-looking guy who was the T-1000 liquid metal Terminator targeting John Connor. James Cameron did not return for 'Terminator 3'... Jonathan Mostow did the 3rd 'Terminator' movie... and it was a worthy movie, even if it didn't surpass 'T2'... Arnold returned as the protector... Nick Stahl played John Connor as a young adult... Claire Danes played Kate Brewster, a veterinarian who knew John from school... Kristanna Loken played the advanced 'T-X'
@@JinxedByZ Nah bro, the O.J incident was in 1994. Believe it or not, O.J was so beloved at the time (due to his football career & image) he wasn't cast because they felt the public wouldn't buy him as a killer!
Why, with the spoilers, mate?! She might watch the other films. What is wrong with your brain? Why would you ruin the experience for her and her fanbase like a know-it-all at a party? You spoiler lot are like the one kid in class pissing his pants with his hand raised: "Sir! Sir! Sir! Pick me-I know a thing!" It's not about you. Pathetic.
I love that you really appreciated this movie! It's really awesome to see that people still enjoy it so long after its release. To me, this is easily one of the best action movies of all time. It has so many amazing elements to it. Fun fact: The first DVD I ever purchased way back when they were a new thing was this movie! Keep doing what you're doing. -With love and support, JT
James Cameron left a loophole to continue the franchise that no one picks up on: the Arnold Terminator left its arm in the machine again when it was pinned there by the T-1000.
@x From Cameron's story reality; the other movies don't start from any place of real logic from the end of T2. T3 literally ignores the end of T2 in order to exist. The next logical step from T2 would have been to continue the story fifty or sixty years after the end of Skynet, imo. If they wanted to stay in the present with the stories, the arm could have given them SOMETHING. It's flimsy, sure, but it leaves room open for some type of reverse engineering, or at least some inspiration.
2 parts always give me goosebumps. When the T800 comes back and it shows his alt power lighting up. And when Sarah puts out her hand and nods as her acceptance of this T800. Like a warrior giving approval almost
Glad you noticed the smile. The terminator first smiles when he sees the mini gun. And it’s a copy of John Connor’s smile. He is programmed to learn from him. You sure caught a lot quickly - the switcheroo, the fact the T-1000 was “sampling” people to copy, etc.
15:40 Funny facts: Ken Gibbel who played that guy with the glasses who licked Sarah Connor's face (Linda Hamilton) had a difficult time doing that scene because he felt extremely uncomfortable with the act, but Linda was perfectly fine with it. However, she and the director (James Cameron) were getting impatient and frustrated with Ken because they had to redo that scene many times because Ken would hesitate or completely chicken out which ruined the scene and forced them all to redo it until he eventually got it right. In the scene where Sarah (Linda) hits the glasses guy (Ken) with a broken broom handle, she actually hit Ken for real in the mouth even though that broom handle was a movie prop and the blood that he spat out was fake It hurt him for real and his reaction was genuine but he stayed in character in that scene to redeem himself for the many reshoots of the previous scene with Linda.
So, so, so happy you liked that movie!! There was a HUGE hype on this movie coming out in the theatre, and at the time the music group GUNS N ROSES was huge too,and they had their song YOU COULD BE MINE in the movie with ARNOLD in their music video as the Terminator before the movie was out, which fueled the HYPE fire even more. NOTE : near the beginning you see Arnold with a box of roses with a gun inside, which is an obvious nod to Guns and Roses 🌹. Thanks and can't wait to see what your next reaction will be. I hope you do THE ABYSS from James Camerson ( which also has Michael Biehn in it). Keep smiling 🤘 🙂
@@DestinyAwaits19 Yup! I lived through it. ARNOLD was a huge action movie star and GUNS N ROSES had just released the iconic double albums USE YOUR ILLUSION 1 & 2 and were the biggest band in the world along with Metallica at the time so having them do the video with the Terminator in it was huge! Hype was different back then before the days of social media! It was way more fun. 🙂
I wholeheartedly agree with your recommendation of _The Abyss_ , especially for Michael Biehn fans like Madison seems to be. He's a villain in this one, but a really effective one who embodies this movie's theme of *pressure* .
30 years old, I was a huge Schwarzenegger fan and a Guns 'n' Roses fan too in 1991. But the problem was, when watching the video "You could be mine" on MTV (Headbangers ball) for the first time, it spoiled too much. I saw in details: Schwarzenegger this time is the good one! But watching the movie in theater was breathtaking!!!
This is so close to my heart. Saw it when it came out. The ending as well as other parts, gets me every time. I've seen it so many times, never gets old.
Nice reaction to one of my favorite movies. Early on you figured out who the terminator would be and which one was the protector. Also, you guessed correctly how the terminator could be destroyed, by means of the molten metal. Enjoyed very much!
Jon Lajoie has a really excellent musical act called "Wolfie's Just Fine" from the foster mother's line in this movie. You can find the video for his song "Break My Back" on UA-cam, and it stars the actor who played Todd, the foster father!
I mean, when it comes to Alien the 3rd film is not a bad film, but people get made at the start if it. When it comes to the Terminator franchise, Terminator, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles are all that is worth watching.
Yea, and how mission oriented and ruthless she had become. Like how she went after Miles Dyson, or how she didn't hug John Connor after he saved her but rather wanted to make sure he was unharmed, and how she fired at the windshield of the cop car without hesitation.
A subtle but amazing moment during the helicopter chase-scene with the T-1000 piloting the helicopter. If you look closely, the T-1000 has modified itself to have multiple (five) hands to operate the helicopter and fire its guns at the escaping heroes
Watching the T-1000 wag his finger at Sarah, to me, shows how much more self-aware he's becoming than the T-101 in the same span of time. While they are both learning to act more human, the finger wag is more personality than programmed mimicry. He did have a strong baseline though, because when he said to the foster parents "He's a good lookin' boy. Mind if I keep this picture?"" He was not only charming, disarming, and pleasant, but he assimilated CASUAL conversation instead of ROTE conversation, when instead he could have roboticallly said "That IS a good lookinG boy. DO YOU mind if I keep this picture?" I heard someone else say : it's amazing that the t-1000 actor does a good job of a acting like a machine TRYING to act like a person, instead of a ACTOR trying to act like a machine. Also, in case someone else hasnt mentioned it, the T-1000 actor practiced firing a gun without blinking (mall hallway scene) and running without breathing visibly (running after the motor bike).
This was a wonderful reaction, Madison! The first words in your comments at the end nail it for me. This is a perfect ending to the story, just as "Aliens" was a perfect ending to Ellen Ripley's story. The issue I have with sequels is that Hollywood rarely knows when to stop. They don't respect the natural, organic ending of a good story, or a perfect ending if they're lucky enough to come across one. In the search for continuing to make the almighty buck they just milk their IPs to the point that, story-wise, so many franchises just don't make logical sense anymore, or the events or characters start to lose consistency, or they simply can't live up to what came before. As an artist yourself, you're obviously keenly aware that telling a story is an art form. I've always believed that part of that art form is knowing when to stop. Very few series are able to escape the law of diminishing returns in that regard. There's really only one series I can think of that has been able to completely defy that law. In my opinion. Tom Cruise's "Mission Impossible" series (with perhaps the exception of the 2nd film) has amazingly been able to make each installment better than the last one, and that series is 6 movies in!! There are still 2 more movies yet to come so that may change, but it's a truly remarkable feat. I'm not saying that it's my favorite franchise, but I can think of no other that has done that!
This movie is not a "perfect ending" for Terminator trilogy, and Aliens is not a "perfect ending" for Ripley's trilogy. They are both trilogies that tell a story. And these both trilogies have "the natural, organic ending" which is the third movie. Both franchises have movies made later for money hungriness. And what you said about the Mission Impossible movies... Lol! :D
@@tfpp1 Yes, the next two movies are supposed to be the last two. They're called "Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part 1 and Part 2". With Tom Cruise now in his 60's, Ethan Hunt is supposed to hang up his spurs after that. We'll see.
@@tsogobauggi8721 To each his own, but I respectfully disagree. One thing is for sure, though; neither Alien nor Terminator were planned as "trilogies". Also, Ripley has 4 movies not 3, and "Alien 3" is disappointing. Even its director, David Fincher, thinks of it as a disappointment and practically disowns it.
I’m so glad you didn’t watch the director’s/extended version. It, along with its ending, sucks…liquid metal through a straw. Anyway, did you notice that that semi chasing John (after the mall scene) looks like the toy that Arnie drove over in T1? 😉
Can’t go wrong watching the theatrical cut of a film first, but I think the alternate ending is perfect. Not to mention it is the one Cameron conceived at the time. If there were great sequels I’d understand, but the sequels are not nearly up to the standards of the first two and were not created by Cameron, so… yeah.
There's a version (Special Edition, 153 minutes) that's longer than the theatrical, but doesn't include the original ending. It still has the chip reset scene, which is something that should have stayed in the movie imo.
@@86leewis Agreed. If I had an ideal Terminator 2 version, it'd just be the theatrical with the chip reset scene restored. I can't think of any of the other added scenes that actually add much to the film otherwise.
"Terminator 2: Judgment Day": Sarah Connor is in jail, John Connor is a rebellious teen, and TWO Terminators arrive? Two noteworthy things in this edition of "The Terminator": First, Linda Hamilton worked out with Ahnold to get "Khan Singh" buff. Second, there are twins in the "mirror scenes." Since you haven't "officially reacted" to any "Star Trek" TV or movies, some context. "Khan Singh," played by Ricardo Montalban, in "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" (1982) became an intimidating, muscular menace and the top villain of this movie franchise.;) 24:00 For a real case of "backwards discovery," see "The Wizard of Oz" (1939). Generations of movie makers have mined that treasure chest for what became memes over the decades;)
"This terminator is not a very good driver" The truck broke a tie rod when it fell - real world broken, not part of the script. If you watch the scene again, you can see the steer tires are pointing in different directions after it lands. It would pretty much be dead in the water after that, so they would have had to fix it before shooting the rest of the chase - but they probably thought it wise to at least portray some vague notion of some unidentified steering problem after a fall like that. Just one of the drive axles on that truck has like 330% more load-bearing capacity than the steer axle has, and that truck has two drive axles. So the steer axle is much less durable, and also much more complex, because of all the extra moving parts to make it steer.
Lots of fun facts about this movie, I will just tell you one. When the terminator copied Sarah Conor (Linda Hamilton) that actress was her twin sister. Great reaction. T3 movie is pretty good, the rest pretty rubbish
The cop that gets a spike through the eyeball in the psych ward...you can see both twins together in Gremlins 2. Linda Hamilton's sister passed away a year or two ago unfortunately..
This is a movie I can watch anytime. If you ever feel like watching it again, try to find the extended special edition which has a lot of great scenes that they cut to prevent this being a 3 hour movie. Personally, i think those scenes were really good and worth the 3 hour runtime.
Hi Madison, It is me again, the new subscriber from The Netherlands. These 2 movies are iconic indeed of/with Arnold. But there are 2 other iconic movie's of/with him. Here they are: 1. Predator - 1987 (this is by far the best Predator movie if you ask me and the 1st only with Arnold). 2. Commando - 1985 In this movie Arnold plays agent that lives with his daughter. Untill 1 day he gets a job from his boss. I can not tell you anymore, you have to watch it to know 😇😇. Btw i joined your channel just by randomised content from this platform. It was the movie Ghost that you showed and i fell in love with your smile and I subscribed 😊.
Another great film with a great sequel is Blade Runner (1982) & Blade Runner 2049 (2017). If you haven't seen those, I'm sure we'd all like to see your reaction to those.
When you were talking about the *Terminator* not being alive & temporary malfunction reminded me of *(Short Circuit)* "no malfunction number 5 is alive"
Wonderful and heartwarming reaction as always with you Madi! Glad you watched the theatrical cut. The extended version has some extra scenes that were cut out for a reason and they really switch the tone to a more comedic one that you see so often these days and it is not fitting for me. But on a 2nd view you might wanna check it out. What else to say about T2? For me it is still the greatest action movie of all time (only rivaled by Mad Max Fury Road) and the best sequel ever. It scarred me for live when I saw it first, I must have been 12 or 14, somewhere there. But it also opened my eyes and the fear for a nuclear war. That explosion scene with Sarah is insane but pretty realistic. And not only does this movie have great practical effects action but also amazing early CGI for the time. It still looks good today. About the other movies: you said it perfectly right, the story should have endet here. But you can watch the others, they range from mediocre (3 and 4) to really bad (5 and 6). But I would prefer you checking more worthy classics out on your movie fridays. 😊
Great sentiment. I think people should always default to theatrical cuts unless they have very specific information to make a different decision. Director's cuts are almost always better appreciated in the context of already having seen a film.
@@Abags89 na, it is more. lots of goofy dialogue with Arnie, remember when John asks him to smile...and the big scene were they open this brain-core etc. also in the mental institute are lots of extra scenes...AND the T-1000 reacts different to the fluid nitrogen...really weird where his feet change colors and all that. Seeming like his imitation process got confused or something.
You know a movie, especially an action one, is great when the film can make you cry over a machine sacrificing itself for humanity. Don't feel alone, grown men including myself shed tears at the end. Do yourself a favor and don't watch the rest, it spoils the perfect ending to T2. Short version, you said it yourself "it's a satisfying ending".
Madi, great reaction and discussion! Just wanted to drop this bit of knowledge if you haven't read it yet -- every scene (I believe) where there are two Sarah Connors is Linda Hamilton's twin sister playing the role. Enjoy! I look forward to seeing more movie reactions from you.
The action, the music and soundtrack, the storyline. That was just amazing what they did at this time. Glad you were reacting to this masterpiece of film history. Much better than a lot of movie's from these days. Today CGI is everything and nobody cares about the rest. Avatar is a negativ example for that. Terminator 1+2 are absolutely enough with that franchise, for my opinion Terminator Salvation is okay, the rest not worth to watch. And the movie had a few things to think about, a kind of untold story.
This is the best Terminator movie IMO and the perfect ending to the story. My recommendation is to skip the rest of the movies in the franchise after this one, they all suck and get progressively worse with each release.
Fun fact - the guy taking pictures of the T800 Terminator are he got thrown through the window is William Wisher who co-wrote T2, and he also played the 1L19 cop in The Terminator(who's head got slammed against the window after Reese and Sarah escape the Tech Noir shootout).
Nicely done, Madison. Personally, i would be happy i saw the first two films, and move on. From here on in, it's just franchise. Maybe you should check out TOMBSTONE, which Biehn also acts in. Peace -
The TV show is good fun. It isn't T1/T2 quality, but at least it adds to the lore in a satisfying way rather than ruining it. I only watched it because Shirley Manson was going to be in it and I was curious to see her in an environment where she wasn't singing, but I am glad I went along for the ride.
1. Linda Hamilton must have been working out with Ah-nold to get ripped like that 😍🥰 2. John's childhood friend looks like the same kid, but isn't, that played Tom Hanks' younger self's buddy in BIG.😎 3. Arnold did many of his own stunts in this movie, including riding the motor cycle. At one point he was injured and they had to stop production for a couple of weeks so he could recover 4. What got me with the shotgun action is Arnold did it left handed😲 Finally, check him out in "Kindergarten Cop"🤣
Watch Terminator 3. Arnold is in it and it is a VERY good film. Ignore those who might leave comments saying it is not good. Total nonsense. It is a great movie. "TRUST me". However, after that...Terminator 4 and 5...no.
I saw T2 in theaters when it came out. Peoples jaws dropped when they saw that endoskeleton in the opening scene, moving so smoothly. It was groundbreaking. At that point you knew you were in for a fantastic ride. As I remember it, people were very quiet after the credits rolled. I think most were moved and in awe of what they had just seen.
"You say I'm not emotional, I can BE emotional! I cried like a baby at the end of Terminator 2, with the thumb..!" The first two movies are a perfect thematic and cinematic one-two punch. From here on the series ranges from 'okay' to 'really quite bad', and all rather dumb. You can watch them if you want, some of them are kinda fun, but it's always correct to just pretend the story ends at the end of T2, with Sarah's narration. Glad you liked it!
Great reaction, watching right now enjoying. Theres actually an extended cut of T2 with some extended scenes(with Kyle and Sarah) and a different ending. But to answer your question as "do all terminators look like arnold" yeah they all look like Arnold. When T1 came our I don't think Cameron saw it with more than 2 going on or even a second but since the terminator did well he had a higher budget to work with and its pretty much been a staple in the franchise that all of the T-800 model aka Arnold's model of terminator all look the same.
I disagree. He's a T-800, model 101. I think it's been discussed by the fans that the robot within is the T-800 and "model 101" refers to looking like he does externally. So you could have different T-800 models that look like different humans.
There is a scene in T1 showing that terminators can have different appearance. Also Kyle himself says that he didn't knew how he looked, but he saw other terminators of his type in future. So in universe there is probably dozen different looks of this model. Of course because of financial and marketing reasons all T800s in sequels looks like Arnold. It depends if you want to look at this from lore perspective or from filmmaking perspective. Both statements are true.
@@MrBegmar Agreed. Skynet was brilliant enough to engineer this super robot and perform time travel. It wasn't going to goof up by making them all look the same. That's another thing I dislike about the third movie with the female terminator (I think that's the third one). At one point she incapacitates the T-800 and medics show up to help him thinking he's a human. They remark that he weighs a ton as they unsuccessfully try to move him. I always hated that because in the first movie Kyle talks about how they have bad breath, they sweat, ... everything. They have to use dogs to sniff them out. You can't have a T-800 infiltrator unit weighting 500 pounds or the "terminator test" at each resistance base would be stepping on a scale or walking across something that would snap under their weight. It totally contradicted the whole point of an infiltrator.
@@nonconsensualopinion I agree, he should be about the same weight as a large man. We don't know what this "hyper-alloy" he's made of is, so it could be something thin and light for metal, but still extremely strong.
@@nonconsensualopinion By the way, the only thing worth watching from the third movie is a deleted scene that tells part of the origin story of the Terminators. I just take it as a joke rather than canon, but in any case, Arnold as "Sgt. Candy" with that dubbed voice is hilarious! 😆 Here is a link to it: ua-cam.com/video/kayFrIR-Qfw/v-deo.html
Yeah. He actually smiled. And "Uncle Bob" Terminator also smirked when he first laid eyes on the big mini gun in the weapons bunker. That's because in the extended cut John was teaching the Terminator how to smile and be a little more human. -OG
I am SO glad you watched the theatrical cut as your first time watching this movie. So many reaction channels make the mistake of watching the special edition first. You should watch the special edition at some point, but NOT as your first time, as this cut is vastly superior to it. The scenes they cut were cut for good reason. The only scene I think I would have kept in was a scene that they cut where they cut open Arnold's head to reprogram his chip. In the original script, when John asks if he can learn anything he wasn't programmed with, his answer was that his computer is a learning computer but skynet disabled the learning aspect, he says it's "read only" so that he doesn't stray from the mission. So he walks them through the process to change that and remove that block. They ended up cutting the entire scene and simply had Arnold record the line "the more contact I have with people the more I learn" and Edward Furlong saying "cool" and they played that while their faces are off screen so you just assumed they said it.
Madison, You have to remember that in that seven year gap between movies we didn't have the internet to create and hype or public demand for the studio to see. As far as we were concerned the story was wrapped up and ended in 1984. We never expected a sequel nor was there any talk of one until around 1990 when we found out one was being filmed. We were just happy and surprised a sequel was made.
After watching Madison's reaction to the first movie, was totally looking forward to this. Starting @37:58, watching Madison face turn from elation of the victory of beating the T-1000, to the final task to beat Skynet was gold.
35:27 "It just so happens that your friend here is only MOSTLY dead. There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive"
Your reaction is sooo real ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Sometimes I like it to cry during watching movies or hearing sad music. I watched your video again and again and again. Greetings and kisses from Hamburg 🤗🤗🤗
I love the fact that the technology used for the T-1000’s effects is still in use today. They improved it of course but still..! It must’ve been insane to see that in ‘91.
I think Miles Dyson is an underrated hero in this franchise. Upon learning what his life's work would lead to, he immediately resolved to destroy it. Without hesitation. And gave his life for it.
Well stated! I completely agree!
He’s the most heroic character in any movie I’ve ever seen.
It's called "responsibility".
Yeah this would actually happen
@@holeefuksumtingwong5788
Good one 😂
The "I know now why you cry, but it's something I could never do" line and the hand giving the thumbs up as it disappears into the molten steel ALWAYS hits in the feels no matter how many times I've seen this film
Me too! I've seen this over 30 times but I cry EVERY single time... it's so beautiful and poignant
Ha! Just Cameron things 🥲
@Matrixnukum I am actually no, which is kinda funny given my tag. I actually came up with my username Fxzero originally for Diablo 2 back in the day, not even knowing that F-zero existed. I just thought it was cool.
..Always thought those were the sappy ass, corny parts they coulda left out. I remember me and my buddies rolling our eyes and just kinda chucklin' at the 'thumbs up...' but the Tears shit?..That chapped our asses. We remembered the original Terminator with absolutely no heart, no soul, no remorse, no mercy and relentless in his mission to terminate his target. He is a machine and shouldn't be askin' about tears and crap when their are folks needin' killin'. It was what put Arnold on the map. He was like Jason or michael myers with a flat top and a micro chip ....Now he's Jaime Sommers and C3PO's love child
@@jbpoole then you missed the point. In that film the T-800 was reprogrammed to protect John and when being asked about his creation said the chip they are given can be set to learn but Skynet sets it to read only so they are more controllable. The point is that when they can learn, they can start to value life rather than just killing. Plus it helps contrast the hero T-800 from the T-1000 that was still set to kill
Robert Patrick as the t-1000 liquid metal made this film a classic!
Well, they didn't destroy everything. Remember, Arnie left one other arm. The one stuck in that big gear.
It's the chips that needed destroyed. Not the arm itself. It was the chip from the first terminator that started the entire thing. Not the arm he left behind.
The arm is just materials research honestly. It doesn't really have anything to do with making the chip or Skynet. It's pretty useless.
Sarah essentially becoming a terminator when going after Dyson is an often missed juxtaposition, notice she doesn’t flinch or blink when firing at him full auto, showing she has become “the machine”
They also played the terminator’s theme music during that scene.
Yes! In that moment became the machine that she feared and hated. Always loved that. Very spin chilling. Such good story telling. Chefs kiss!
That's also why she breaks down and shows genuine upset because she realised what she had allowed herself to become until John snapped her out of it
Even her motivations were the same, destroy the "parent" of the enemy before the threat happens, which was also skynet's original reason for turning on humanity too; because it saw us as a potential threat and acted before we did.
@@Spectre-907 Exactly!
18:50 - That moment where Sarah orders the cop out of the car and IMMEDIATELY puts a bullet in the windshield the second he doesn't comply is my favorite moment in the entire movie. It's such an incredible piece of character transformation for Sarah, you get such a clear idea of the kind of person she's become since the events of the first film.
It's what makes Sarah Conner one of the most famous and beloved female action heroes in history. She doesn't start out as a badass, nor does she become one just because the story needs her to be. It's a logical and believable evolution with the movie referring back to what she was up to after the first movie; Hanging out with military guys and even showing her doing physical training while locked up in the mental institution.
It also doesn't make her a superhero; It shows her in fear, anger, frustration in the video interview, the trauma when she meets the terminator again and just runs like hell not even noticing her son to almost becoming like a terminator herself when she nearly kills Dyson.
But in modern movies in Hollywood, they tend to make all women badass and flawless. A good example ofcourse being Rey in Star Wars. And it just makes them so boring and unbelievable as characters.
Sarah already knows the danger and relentless-ness of Terminators and she knows there is no time for non-compliance to orders. The first one taught her a REAL good lesson. They have to get away and the T-1000 is on their a**!!
It's weird, my fave scene is when the terminators both get their hands on the shotgun, and then each tries to muscle it away from the other and nothing happens, so they both just stand there for a moment, each recalculating the fact that the other is unexpectedly much stronger than an average human.
Sort of like in the first one, when the terminator gets in the truck and tries to drive it but discovers that it's a manual, so then he has to just sit there staring at it for a second, while he recalculates how to make it work.
And that's why Terminator 2 is such a work of art.
The galleria was filmed at the Santa Monica mall , which is no longer there. Right across the street you have the 3rd Street Promenade . And about a block away , you have the beach .
I grew up watching this movie every day pretty much. The ending still gets me. " I know how why you cry but its something I can never do. " epic Terminator theme and thumbs up. Best ending ever. Best movie ever. Period.
"If a machine, a terminator, can learn the value of human life, maybe we can too".
That line always gets to me! I'm so glad you enjoyed T2. I must say you're one of the brighter people I've seen on these reaction channel's. You seem to pick up on things and see where the stories going far before it's revealed. Another Great sci-fi Cameron to check out is "The Abyss" (1989) starring Ed Harris, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, and yes Micheal Biehn. It's a must!
The Terminator was directed to value human life, it didn't learn or reason it out on it's own. It's a glorified toaster.
@@Cheepchipsable Actually the movie specifically says the Terminator "learned". Not only did Sarah say it at the end, but the Terminator himself says (in the directors cut) that he can learn. The entire concept of the story is based on the idea that skynet became smart.
And as far as a glorified toaster goes, one could make the argument that humans are really nothing more than glorified toasters.
@@danieltate6092 Take the time to enjoy the trolls. They give us reason to laugh. It's always funny to see how far someone can experience "cranial rectitis. "
@@danieltate6092 We are naturally occurring learning machines, and we don't learn with a specific purpose. We learn lots of things which might be useful or may not. In any case it doesn't meant that robots aren't glorified toasters.
"Learning" something isn't the same as understanding it. Chimps learned to operate spacecraft and fly planes. Plenty of people operate machines which they have no understanding of the principles behind them, Skynet might have has some programing to identify threats, or future threats to itself but that doesn't mean that would be programmed into every device it created. At best a terminator would be a lunar rover with enough knowledge to get by and info on how to pass as human, (despite talking with a thick accent - must have used software from the Austrian division of skynet)
Didn't the franchise also say metallic objects can't be sent through time without an organic covering...oh wait!
😉
@@Gort-Marvin0Martian Oh, dear someone disagrees, they must be a troll!
"I can't imagine people's reaction when it's like 'Wait, he's here to *protect* John Conner?'"" - Unfortunately all the trailers and marketing for the movie gave away the twist, so pretty much no one was caught by surprise. It's only now that we have reactions from younger people and others who missed the phenomenon, that there's an audience who can experience the reveal in the way the movie expects you to.
What is amazing is that even after the T-1000 murders the cop on his arrival there are some idiots still thought he must be a good guy! While totally ignoring the fact Arnie doesn't kill anyone in the diner. Maybe IQ levels have dropped 🤔
The only thing is that T1000 is so obviously a Terminator, even before the reveal... I don't know how, but they should've toned down the machine factor on T1000 up until the events at the arcade.
I was 9 and some how my cousins got me in to see this in a theatre. I remember being beside myself watching this . It was fucking awesome! And the fact that my older cousins wanted me to experience it was super cool. I’m buzzing with nostalgia right now 😊
In 1991 I can guarantee you that a lot of people were surprised by the twist simply because there was no Internet and no easy way as today's to watch trailers and marketing material at all. That is a very American- and privileged-centric point of view.
Not at all, there were strict gags in order and it was a surprise to most on release, now though when people act surprised it's hard to believe, just to reiterate though your comment simply isn't true
Great reaction, pretty interesting.
To me, Terminator 2 is the greatest action-movie ever made. Not only it's great action movie with everything you want from such a movie (great characters played by great actors, great story, great direction, great effects, great action sequences.) but it also has that little thing that makes a great movie an absolute masterpiece : it bears a message, it asks a question : What makes us, humans, different fro machines ?
And, as characters, Sarah and the T-800 have mirroring journey : The Terminator is getting more and more human while, until John stops her from killing Dyson, is getting more and more machine-like, to the point where John is the only thing that keeps her human
Since you think this is a perfect conclusion, I wouldn't recommend you watch the next Terminator movie, none of them are even close from the quality of these 2 first movies.
Exactly Johan!! Great Work!!👍👍 Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮
Damn, right! Definitely the best in the franchise and among all other sci-fi movies ever made
This is not an action movie though. Remember? There had never been a female lead in an action movie until Jennifer Lawrence in Hunger Games. She said so herself. lol

Fun fact, Madison......The chase scene in the mall garage, where the T-1000 is chasing John on his motorbike, had to be reshot several times, because Robert Patrick kept catching the cycle! He was a track star in college and really that fast! Great watching with you!
I also love the in joke in the scene where T-1000 throws the T-800 through the window in the mall and as he turns to walk away notices the silver painted shop mannequin and just frowns at it
I'm fairly knowledgable with actors/actresses within the American film industry from being a big movie buff. It always surprises me how new viewers see Robert Patrick in T2, but never know who he is IRL. I've seen other roles very vividly: Ladder 49, The Marine or even the independent release Eye See You. Which I'll bet no one here even knows what that is.
He also starred in The X-Files TV series after Fox Mulder's departure. There's also a humorous callback to T2 in The Marine where one of the criminals refers to John Cena's character like he's a terminator; right in front of Robert Patrick who angrily glares at him immediately afterwards. One of the only memorable moments from that C-grade experience, by the way.
@@digidv85 He was also the PE teacher in The Faculty and most recently Peacemaker's dad in the Peacemaker show which also starred John Cena. He was also one of the rogue soldiers in Die Hard 2
@@sporadicamnesic Right. I forgot about The Faculty. Definitely a weird horror film. Not so much weird in a totally negative way, just weird in general. I'd go into more detail, but that would involve spoilers so a random viewer obviously won't appreciate that.
@@digidv85 Also, he played the T-1000 AGAIN in Wayne's World as a motorcycle cop who said: "have you seen this boy?"
One thing that is never mentioned once they have destroyed the original terminator's arm plus the chip is what happened to the other arm that was broken off from the more recent Terminator during the earlier epic Terminator battle.
It's okay to cry, that was an emotional scene. I seen this in the theater and everybody was crying even the men LOL. It was sad to see Arnie go.
Poor T-800 :*(
Madison:
"I'm not going to cry."
"I'm not going to cry."

BEST SCI-FI ACTION MOVIE EVER!!
Rock star Billy Idol was almost cast as the Villainous T-1000, but got involved in a motorcycle accident, injuring his leg and had to drop out.
Robert Patrick was cast instead.
There's even earlier storyboard drawings that bear a striking resemblance to Idol.
T2 is one of my all time favourite movies, and i love that so many "younger" reactors watch this masterpiece.
Again Madison, I love re-watching these films with you. As a fellow film buff, and someone who watched it at the time, I could make so many comments, but one that stood out was ... :
50:32 - James Cameron filmed a dream sequence with Michael Biehn and Linda Hamilton, but it got cut from the final release. It was probably the original idea for the scene where Sarah falls asleep on the table in Mexico but they replaced it with the nuclear playground scene instead. AFAIR they dropped it for pacing reasons.
Other things are that
- This film was HUGE when it was released. Linda Hamilton was given serious props for her transformation, and it was the film that basically made Arnie the household name he is today. Cameron obvs went on to make Titanic as well.
- Guns n Roses
- There's no T2 without T1. The fact it still feels fresh with the number of callbacks and reversals in the writing is pretty damn impressive. One of the hardest callbacks is 07:24. Hard to watch at the time, and still hard now.
- Some of the scenes (where Sarah takes a stick to the prison guard, and the Terminator walking through the SWAT team) were a LOT more violent in the theatrical cut. If you watch closely enough you can see the edits.
I'll leave it there. Love your channel Madison !
@FrostyRobot - Cameron also liked working with Jenette Goldstein = who is one of the foster parents (Pvt. Vasquez from Aliens movie)...
The same was with Michael Biehn, but like you have said, they cut that part off.
I thinkt the theatrical cut is the best version to experience.
@@tannhauser5399 Does she die in every movie!? lol
@@brandondetroitfanmichaels4325
And based on her interviews, she has a great respect for Cameron, giving some interesting details about working with him.
She was also in Titanic after all, so there is that nice and professional connection between them.
But yeah... .she is dying in his movies so I hear you about that ;)
They didn't plan the Michael Beihn scene for the dream in Mexico and replace it with the nuclear dream. If you watch the scene you see she's in the hospital for the first half of the dream talking to Kyle and then you see the beginning of her nightmare that she describes. While it is true that the scenes that got cut were done for pacing they weren't intended to be placed in other parts of the movie. The Kyle Dream takes place while she's tranqued out on Thorazine after being beaten by the orderly that licks her face later.
The special effects are STILL better than 99% of movies today. Its insane.
That is ridiculous hyperbole and patently, objectively untrue.
Digital effects have progressed greatly since this movie. You only THINK that because this film blends practical and digital effects more than most movies do. It GROUNDS the effects well in several scenes... But that doesn't make them better or worse. This is still early CG which has objectively progressed much better.
The MCU movies would not have been technically possible during this time. And the Lord Of The Rings trilogy on it's own blows this film out of the water. Most films have grown and evolved their techniques THANKS to this movie. But they have progressed much since then. If you don't think so, then you are literally wrong. Every single veteran in the industry and people who know more about film than you, will all line up to tell you this, as well.

Ah, yes. Known as “Linda Hamilton Terminator 2 Arms”. The bane of every trainer’s existence for years after this came out. Every female wanted them, and it was impossible to convince them just how unrealistic they are for the average person to get, and maintain. Even Linda Hamilton said her diet and workout routine were ridiculous to get those arms.
@Heather Qualy - for the average woman back then, not connected with a professional sport? An actress? Sure.
A very hard work there, and much respect. Not as easy as it sounds for the average person.
But now, we also know more, and have more access to the information. You can even follow somebody like - "megsquats" channel on youtube, or somebody like Jeff Cavaliere (ATHLEAN-X). Or plenty of others regarding diet and exercise.
I would guess, it take a bit less effort right now to achieve that for women, that it used to be in the past (not that it won't require hard work, but it will be much more smooth and "easier" as you will have access to more knowledge about it, and also exercises).

The metal skeletons of the terminators are called T-800. When you put a human skin covering over it, there are thousands of designs that look like different humans. Any skin covering that looks like Arnold is called a CSM-101(Cyberdyne Systems Model-101). Arnold is the 101st design.
Isn't the first time the name T-800 gets mentioned in Terminator 3 or Salvation?
@@flaviusstilicho1239 When Terminator 2 was released in theaters, I bought the T2 trading cards which showed scenes, behinds the scenes and stated facts about the film. They mention Arnold being a T-800/CSM-101 in the cards but for some strange reason, they never mention the term “T-800” in the film. But you may be right, the term “T-800” might have been mentioned for the first time(on film) in Terminator 3 or Salvation.
I'm pretty sure Kyle Reese calls him Cyberdyne Systems Model 101 in film 1 and possibly refers to the T-800 models infiltrating their bases.
In the movies the only time we see "T-800" is in the Terminator's HUD briefly.
Kyle in Terminator 1 says "The 600 series had rubber skin we spotted them easy, but these are new they look human--" so it's correct to assume these would be T-700 or T-800 and as the HUD shows it's a T-800. The T-3 Arnold has been confirmed to be a T-850. The Arnold skin is a CSM101 and it's probable that it prefers to itself as the skin suit since that is what is one display as the infiltration tactic.
This is one of the greatest sequels in sci fi movie history
There’s something about the length of the pause before he says “I know now why you cry” as he looks at John. Idk what it is but it makes it so good to me. Idk if that’s weird to anyone else
I don't think it's weird. Arnold is a better actor than he gets credit for, and little things like that are a good examples.
Love your mass effect 3 reference! I never even considered that before 🤣
These reactions were a blast!!
Very glad that you enjoyed them and that you did them back to back!!
*I've got something special for you Hit me up.*
I love the real life wow emojis you do in a lot of your videos, where you freeze for a few seconds with your eyes wide open and your mouth in an o. Great stuff.
It’s ok, I cried too the first time I watched it when I was 11. And I’m sure a ton of other people did. That’s the magic of James Cameron. Only he could pull off a story that can grasp your emotions to feel sympathy for a machine. I’m 42 now and have watched so many films throughout my life. Not one has moved me like this one did. And at this point, I’m sure there never will be.
T800 is a legend.
Na it’s was Arnold’s acting that got you right in the feels! Not Cameron!!!
I didn't cry when ol yeller died.... but I did at the end of this one the first 15 times lmao
I'm glad u watched the theatrical version of this. This is one of the best sequels that lives up to the first.
This is such a good movie! I love your chill demeanor.
13:57 ....This is why we don't drink from the milk carton.... Remember, kids, allways use a glass... or else.....
Playground scene: "That was terrifying." Having that idea in my head growing up during the Cold War was pretty harsh. I remember many a night not being able to sleep thinking about it, especially living next to an Air Guard base that was likely a direct and early target. Still freaks me out from time to time.
Very realistic scene.
What doesn't help is the fact that nuclear scientists said that this film's up close and personal depiction of the effects of a nuclear blast was the most accurate they had even seen!
As for how it affected you, I understand completely. I got the same feeling from 2 made-for-TV movies from almost a decade before. "The Day After" (1983, USA) and "Threads" (1984, UK) scared the crap outta me! The first instilled great fear, the second broke what was left of my heart! I don't actually blame it for my 30 years of clinical depression, but it sure as hell didn't help! lol
@@robertcartier5088 Watching "The Day After" when it was first broadcast definitely gave me nightmares and "Threads" is way too realistic not to gut punch you. I agree that the nightmare nuclear explosion sequence is probably the most realistic ever attempted to simulate this on film but fortunately it is short enough to not permanent scar the viewer. I ended up interviewing a Western German exchange student after seeing TDA to ask him how he felt living in a possible nuclear battlefield with tactical weapons on either side of the border along with a 5-1 advantage of tanks on the Soviet side. Growing up during the Cold War definitely affects you. This film was released just after the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1991 when I was 22 when I saw it first run while attending WKU in Bowling Green, KY.
Lots of people got those dreams just from watching the evening news. I had quite a few dreams of seeing the mushroom clouds over NYC and trying in vain to convince my family that we needed to hurry up and get in a car and start driving north. Or more symbolic versions, such as Roman legions invading our town on elephants, conquering our neighborhood one house at a time, each house defended only by it's own inhabitants.
But when I was younger, I also had similarly fearful dreams of waking up to find that a volcano formed under our home overnight and we were now teetering on the edge of the smoking crater. So maybe there were other issues working their way thru my mind, and the dreams of nukes and lava were just the vehicles to convey the message.
Ever since this crap with Russia and now China started kicking off, I've been having dreams of watching ICBMs flying over head and blowing up in the distance. And the bombs they have now absolutely dwarfs Fat Man and Little Boy.
I've watched this movie countless times, but some of your comments made me see it in a new way.
When the first 'Terminator' movie was being cast, Arnold was originally cast as the soldier 'Kyle Reese'... Lance Henriksen was cast as the 'Terminator', like an ordinary-looking guy who could blend in to find & kill targets. But after reading the script, Arnold asked James Cameron, the director, that he wanted to play the Terminator... So, the Terminator was re-written as this unstoppable killing machine... Lance Henriksen was recast as the police detective... and Michael Biehn was cast as the soldier 'Kyle Reese'.
For 'Terminator 2', Cameron went back to the original concept - Arnold played the protector... and Robert Patrick was cast as this ordinary-looking guy who was the T-1000 liquid metal Terminator targeting John Connor.
James Cameron did not return for 'Terminator 3'... Jonathan Mostow did the 3rd 'Terminator' movie... and it was a worthy movie, even if it didn't surpass 'T2'... Arnold returned as the protector... Nick Stahl played John Connor as a young adult... Claire Danes played Kate Brewster, a veterinarian who knew John from school... Kristanna Loken played the advanced 'T-X'
Wasn't O.J. Simpson was suppose to play Terminator in the first movie but because of his incident they went with Arnold.
@@JinxedByZ Nah bro, the O.J incident was in 1994. Believe it or not, O.J was so beloved at the time (due to his football career & image) he wasn't cast because they felt the public wouldn't buy him as a killer!
Nah, there's no Terminator movies after this one... and nobody's going to tell me different!
@@jackwalsh6758 OJ later on became the Terminator in 1994....
Why, with the spoilers, mate?! She might watch the other films. What is wrong with your brain? Why would you ruin the experience for her and her fanbase like a know-it-all at a party? You spoiler lot are like the one kid in class pissing his pants with his hand raised: "Sir! Sir! Sir! Pick me-I know a thing!" It's not about you. Pathetic.
I love that you really appreciated this movie! It's really awesome to see that people still enjoy it so long after its release. To me, this is easily one of the best action movies of all time. It has so many amazing elements to it.
Fun fact: The first DVD I ever purchased way back when they were a new thing was this movie! Keep doing what you're doing.
-With love and support, JT
Thanks so much, JT!💖
James Cameron left a loophole to continue the franchise that no one picks up on: the Arnold Terminator left its arm in the machine again when it was pinned there by the T-1000.
I thought about that too.
But that arm is so mangled being in the gears that it's pretty much useless.
@x From Cameron's story reality; the other movies don't start from any place of real logic from the end of T2. T3 literally ignores the end of T2 in order to exist.
The next logical step from T2 would have been to continue the story fifty or sixty years after the end of Skynet, imo.
If they wanted to stay in the present with the stories, the arm could have given them SOMETHING. It's flimsy, sure, but it leaves room open for some type of reverse engineering, or at least some inspiration.
No, comics cleared this up.. Sarah and John went and took care of it.. doesn't make much of an exciting scene though does it.
No, comics cleared this up.. Sarah and John went and took care of it.. doesn't make much of an exciting scene though does it.
2 parts always give me goosebumps.
When the T800 comes back and it shows his alt power lighting up.
And when Sarah puts out her hand and nods as her acceptance of this T800. Like a warrior giving approval almost
Glad you noticed the smile. The terminator first smiles when he sees the mini gun. And it’s a copy of John Connor’s smile. He is programmed to learn from him.
You sure caught a lot quickly - the switcheroo, the fact the T-1000 was “sampling” people to copy, etc.
There's actually a pretty funny scene that was cut out where John is trying to teach Arnold how to smile in the Director's cut.
He's programmed to learn from humans, not just John.
15:40 Funny facts: Ken Gibbel who played that guy with the glasses who licked Sarah Connor's face (Linda Hamilton) had a difficult time doing that scene because he felt extremely uncomfortable with the act, but Linda was perfectly fine with it. However, she and the director (James Cameron) were getting impatient and frustrated with Ken because they had to redo that scene many times because Ken would hesitate or completely chicken out which ruined the scene and forced them all to redo it until he eventually got it right.
In the scene where Sarah (Linda) hits the glasses guy (Ken) with a broken broom handle, she actually hit Ken for real in the mouth even though that broom handle was a movie prop and the blood that he spat out was fake It hurt him for real and his reaction was genuine but he stayed in character in that scene to redeem himself for the many reshoots of the previous scene with Linda.
So, so, so happy you liked that movie!! There was a HUGE hype on this movie coming out in the theatre, and at the time the music group GUNS N ROSES was huge too,and they had their song YOU COULD BE MINE in the movie with ARNOLD in their music video as the Terminator before the movie was out, which fueled the HYPE fire even more.
NOTE : near the beginning you see Arnold with a box of roses with a gun inside, which is an obvious nod to Guns and Roses 🌹.
Thanks and can't wait to see what your next reaction will be. I hope you do THE ABYSS from James Camerson ( which also has Michael Biehn in it). Keep smiling 🤘 🙂
There was massive hype for this back in '91?
@@DestinyAwaits19 Yup! I lived through it. ARNOLD was a huge action movie star and GUNS N ROSES had just released the iconic double albums USE YOUR ILLUSION 1 & 2 and were the biggest band in the world along with Metallica at the time so having them do the video with the Terminator in it was huge! Hype was different back then before the days of social media! It was way more fun. 🙂
I wholeheartedly agree with your recommendation of _The Abyss_ , especially for Michael Biehn fans like Madison seems to be. He's a villain in this one, but a really effective one who embodies this movie's theme of *pressure* .
30 years old, I was a huge Schwarzenegger fan and a Guns 'n' Roses fan too in 1991. But the problem was, when watching the video "You could be mine" on MTV (Headbangers ball) for the first time, it spoiled too much. I saw in details: Schwarzenegger this time is the good one! But watching the movie in theater was breathtaking!!!
@@josefhorndl3469 Totally agree with ya. Watching in the theatre just makes it more of a special experience👍
This is so close to my heart. Saw it when it came out. The ending as well as other parts, gets me every time.
I've seen it so many times, never gets old.
As you work your way through the series, don’t forget about the Sarah Connor Chronicles! Absolutely superb series. Way better than the last movie.
I second that, a great series.
Nice reaction to one of my favorite movies. Early on you figured out who the terminator would be and which one was the protector. Also, you guessed correctly how the terminator could be destroyed, by means of the molten metal. Enjoyed very much!
Thank you, Jesse! Glad you enjoyed : )
Jon Lajoie has a really excellent musical act called "Wolfie's Just Fine" from the foster mother's line in this movie. You can find the video for his song "Break My Back" on UA-cam, and it stars the actor who played Todd, the foster father!
I mean, when it comes to Alien the 3rd film is not a bad film, but people get made at the start if it.
When it comes to the Terminator franchise, Terminator, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles are all that is worth watching.
Linda Hamilton did an outstanding job preparing for this movie. She totally looks like a warrior.
Yea, and how mission oriented and ruthless she had become. Like how she went after Miles Dyson, or how she didn't hug John Connor after he saved her but rather wanted to make sure he was unharmed, and how she fired at the windshield of the cop car without hesitation.
A subtle but amazing moment during the helicopter chase-scene with the T-1000 piloting the helicopter. If you look closely, the T-1000 has modified itself to have multiple (five) hands to operate the helicopter and fire its guns at the escaping heroes
In the chase scenes Robert Patrick was running so fast, James Cameron told him to slow down.
He kept catching up to the bike.
Watching the T-1000 wag his finger at Sarah, to me, shows how much more self-aware he's becoming than the T-101 in the same span of time. While they are both learning to act more human, the finger wag is more personality than programmed mimicry.
He did have a strong baseline though, because when he said to the foster parents "He's a good lookin' boy. Mind if I keep this picture?"" He was not only charming, disarming, and pleasant, but he assimilated CASUAL conversation instead of ROTE conversation, when instead he could have roboticallly said "That IS a good lookinG boy. DO YOU mind if I keep this picture?"
I heard someone else say : it's amazing that the t-1000 actor does a good job of a acting like a machine TRYING to act like a person, instead of a ACTOR trying to act like a machine.
Also, in case someone else hasnt mentioned it, the T-1000 actor practiced firing a gun without blinking (mall hallway scene) and running without breathing visibly (running after the motor bike).
This was a wonderful reaction, Madison! The first words in your comments at the end nail it for me. This is a perfect ending to the story, just as "Aliens" was a perfect ending to Ellen Ripley's story. The issue I have with sequels is that Hollywood rarely knows when to stop. They don't respect the natural, organic ending of a good story, or a perfect ending if they're lucky enough to come across one. In the search for continuing to make the almighty buck they just milk their IPs to the point that, story-wise, so many franchises just don't make logical sense anymore, or the events or characters start to lose consistency, or they simply can't live up to what came before. As an artist yourself, you're obviously keenly aware that telling a story is an art form. I've always believed that part of that art form is knowing when to stop. Very few series are able to escape the law of diminishing returns in that regard. There's really only one series I can think of that has been able to completely defy that law. In my opinion. Tom Cruise's "Mission Impossible" series (with perhaps the exception of the 2nd film) has amazingly been able to make each installment better than the last one, and that series is 6 movies in!! There are still 2 more movies yet to come so that may change, but it's a truly remarkable feat. I'm not saying that it's my favorite franchise, but I can think of no other that has done that!
Geez, there are 2 more planned M:I movies? I think it's time for Ethan Hunt to "retire" haha
This movie is not a "perfect ending" for Terminator trilogy, and Aliens is not a "perfect ending" for Ripley's trilogy. They are both trilogies that tell a story. And these both trilogies have "the natural, organic ending" which is the third movie.
Both franchises have movies made later for money hungriness.
And what you said about the Mission Impossible movies... Lol! :D
@@tsogobauggi8721 I agree with you about the Alien movies, but for me, T2 ends it nicely.
@@tfpp1 Yes, the next two movies are supposed to be the last two. They're called "Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part 1 and Part 2". With Tom Cruise now in his 60's, Ethan Hunt is supposed to hang up his spurs after that. We'll see.
@@tsogobauggi8721 To each his own, but I respectfully disagree. One thing is for sure, though; neither Alien nor Terminator were planned as "trilogies". Also, Ripley has 4 movies not 3, and "Alien 3" is disappointing. Even its director, David Fincher, thinks of it as a disappointment and practically disowns it.
You're so calm and collected. Your reactions are excellent and I can't wait for the next ones. Thanks Maddy!! :)
I’m so glad you didn’t watch the director’s/extended version. It, along with its ending, sucks…liquid metal through a straw.
Anyway, did you notice that that semi chasing John (after the mall scene) looks like the toy that Arnie drove over in T1? 😉
Can’t go wrong watching the theatrical cut of a film first, but I think the alternate ending is perfect. Not to mention it is the one Cameron conceived at the time. If there were great sequels I’d understand, but the sequels are not nearly up to the standards of the first two and were not created by Cameron, so… yeah.
The chip reset was the most important part that was cut. Just because of that, I like the extended better.
There's a version (Special Edition, 153 minutes) that's longer than the theatrical, but doesn't include the original ending. It still has the chip reset scene, which is something that should have stayed in the movie imo.
@@86leewis I agree with that part. But the ending in the theatrical cut is so much better IMO.
@@86leewis Agreed. If I had an ideal Terminator 2 version, it'd just be the theatrical with the chip reset scene restored. I can't think of any of the other added scenes that actually add much to the film otherwise.
"Terminator 2: Judgment Day": Sarah Connor is in jail, John Connor is a rebellious teen, and TWO Terminators arrive?
Two noteworthy things in this edition of "The Terminator": First, Linda Hamilton worked out with Ahnold to get "Khan Singh" buff. Second, there are twins in the "mirror scenes." Since you haven't "officially reacted" to any "Star Trek" TV or movies, some context. "Khan Singh," played by Ricardo Montalban, in "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" (1982) became an intimidating, muscular menace and the top villain of this movie franchise.;) 24:00 For a real case of "backwards discovery," see "The Wizard of Oz" (1939). Generations of movie makers have mined that treasure chest for what became memes over the decades;)
"This terminator is not a very good driver"
The truck broke a tie rod when it fell - real world broken, not part of the script. If you watch the scene again, you can see the steer tires are pointing in different directions after it lands. It would pretty much be dead in the water after that, so they would have had to fix it before shooting the rest of the chase - but they probably thought it wise to at least portray some vague notion of some unidentified steering problem after a fall like that.
Just one of the drive axles on that truck has like 330% more load-bearing capacity than the steer axle has, and that truck has two drive axles. So the steer axle is much less durable, and also much more complex, because of all the extra moving parts to make it steer.
Well the diesel never would have exploded like that from an electric spark either, but that might upset the die hards. 🤫
"I know now why you cry, but it's something I can never do." Bet you never thought Arnold's Terminator would ever get you in the feelz!
Lots of fun facts about this movie, I will just tell you one. When the terminator copied Sarah Conor (Linda Hamilton) that actress was her twin sister. Great reaction. T3 movie is pretty good, the rest pretty rubbish
The Deputy at the Coffee Machine was a twin also......
James Cameron loves him some Twin Magic.
The cop that gets a spike through the eyeball in the psych ward...you can see both twins together in Gremlins 2. Linda Hamilton's sister passed away a year or two ago unfortunately..
I love how "I understood that reference" it's itself an admorable reference.
This is a movie I can watch anytime. If you ever feel like watching it again, try to find the extended special edition which has a lot of great scenes that they cut to prevent this being a 3 hour movie.
Personally, i think those scenes were really good and worth the 3 hour runtime.
Hi Madison, It is me again, the new subscriber from The Netherlands. These 2 movies are iconic indeed of/with Arnold. But there are 2 other iconic movie's of/with him.
Here they are:
1. Predator - 1987 (this is by far the best Predator movie if you ask me and the 1st only with Arnold).
2. Commando - 1985
In this movie Arnold plays agent that lives with his daughter. Untill 1 day he gets a job from his boss. I can not tell you anymore, you have to watch it to know 😇😇. Btw i joined your channel just by randomised content from this platform. It was the movie Ghost that you showed and i fell in love with your smile and I subscribed 😊.
Linda was awesome in this. Her acting right when she was ready to kill Miles, and then backs off, holy crap.
Terminator 2 is my all time favorite movie.
Another great film with a great sequel is Blade Runner (1982) & Blade Runner 2049 (2017). If you haven't seen those, I'm sure we'd all like to see your reaction to those.
When you were talking about the *Terminator* not being alive & temporary malfunction reminded me of *(Short Circuit)* "no malfunction number 5 is alive"
A suggestion I have for a really fantastic, albeit slow burn sci-fi movie would be Ex Machina. Has some good suspense and really makes you think.
When the Terminator in the intro crushes the skull with his foot, everyone in the theater jumped. xD
Wonderful and heartwarming reaction as always with you Madi! Glad you watched the theatrical cut. The extended version has some extra scenes that were cut out for a reason and they really switch the tone to a more comedic one that you see so often these days and it is not fitting for me. But on a 2nd view you might wanna check it out. What else to say about T2? For me it is still the greatest action movie of all time (only rivaled by Mad Max Fury Road) and the best sequel ever. It scarred me for live when I saw it first, I must have been 12 or 14, somewhere there. But it also opened my eyes and the fear for a nuclear war. That explosion scene with Sarah is insane but pretty realistic. And not only does this movie have great practical effects action but also amazing early CGI for the time. It still looks good today. About the other movies: you said it perfectly right, the story should have endet here. But you can watch the others, they range from mediocre (3 and 4) to really bad (5 and 6). But I would prefer you checking more worthy classics out on your movie fridays. 😊
Yes! I agree 100% about watching the Theatrical cut. I also prefer the more ambiguous ending.
Great sentiment. I think people should always default to theatrical cuts unless they have very specific information to make a different decision. Director's cuts are almost always better appreciated in the context of already having seen a film.
The cut parts are the dog being killed and a close up of the hospital guard with a spike through his eyeball?
@@Abags89 na, it is more. lots of goofy dialogue with Arnie, remember when John asks him to smile...and the big scene were they open this brain-core etc. also in the mental institute are lots of extra scenes...AND the T-1000 reacts different to the fluid nitrogen...really weird where his feet change colors and all that. Seeming like his imitation process got confused or something.
Now go watch Terminator Dark Fate since it's a continuation of T2................
54:18 "What can he do when he's not playing a machine" - You want True Lies, another James Cameron film and a great show case for Arnie.
You know a movie, especially an action one, is great when the film can make you cry over a machine sacrificing itself for humanity. Don't feel alone, grown men including myself shed tears at the end. Do yourself a favor and don't watch the rest, it spoils the perfect ending to T2. Short version, you said it yourself "it's a satisfying ending".
16:07 THIS!... THIS RIGHT HERE!... THIS IS WHY I've have been suspicious of checkered floors since 1991!😆😅😂🤣
*I've got something special for you Hit me up.*
Madi, great reaction and discussion! Just wanted to drop this bit of knowledge if you haven't read it yet -- every scene (I believe) where there are two Sarah Connors is Linda Hamilton's twin sister playing the role. Enjoy! I look forward to seeing more movie reactions from you.
The Deputy at the Coffee Machine was a twin also......
4:06 The terminator in the flash back/flash forward with Reese was played by Franco Columbu, Arnold's training partner and another Mr. Olympia.
The action, the music and soundtrack, the storyline. That was just amazing what they did at this time. Glad you were reacting to this masterpiece of film history. Much better than a lot of movie's from these days. Today CGI is everything and nobody cares about the rest. Avatar is a negativ example for that.
Terminator 1+2 are absolutely enough with that franchise, for my opinion Terminator Salvation is okay, the rest not worth to watch.
And the movie had a few things to think about, a kind of untold story.
And the scene where the helicopter flies under the overpass was real. No models no CGI.
22:11 ....
-Sarah: "Siempre como culebra"
-Madison: "She speaks spanish, now"
-Me: "She's trying, at least"
We all cried when he’s being lowered down and gives the last high five. John taught him how to do that earlier. Such an emotional moment. 😢
"Molten pool of lava stuff."
Ah, yes. The technical term.
"Where do you work?"
"I work at the lava factory, where we make lava all day." :)
This is the best Terminator movie IMO and the perfect ending to the story. My recommendation is to skip the rest of the movies in the franchise after this one, they all suck and get progressively worse with each release.
Agreed. I havent watched any of them after this in yeeeeaars! Only seen them all once.
Fun fact - the guy taking pictures of the T800 Terminator are he got thrown through the window is William Wisher who co-wrote T2, and he also played the 1L19 cop in The Terminator(who's head got slammed against the window after Reese and Sarah escape the Tech Noir shootout).
It’s a shame they never did a sequel to T2. Hopefully one day 🙂

From here on in, it's just franchise.
Maybe you should check out TOMBSTONE, which Biehn also acts in.

Looks like she's done Alien and Aliens about 4 months ago 👍
The TV show is good fun. It isn't T1/T2 quality, but at least it adds to the lore in a satisfying way rather than ruining it.
I only watched it because Shirley Manson was going to be in it and I was curious to see her in an environment where she wasn't singing, but I am glad I went along for the ride.
@@mattp6089 I agree as it truly is a shame it was cancelled leaving fans on a cliffhanger and we still have no conclusion 13 years later!

My bad. Retracted.
1. Linda Hamilton must have been working out with Ah-nold to get ripped like that 😍🥰
2. John's childhood friend looks like the same kid, but isn't, that played Tom Hanks' younger self's buddy in BIG.😎
3. Arnold did many of his own stunts in this movie, including riding the motor cycle. At one point he
was injured and they had to stop production for a couple of weeks so he could recover
4. What got me with the shotgun action is Arnold did it left handed😲
Finally, check him out in "Kindergarten Cop"🤣
*I've got something special for you Hit me up🎁..*
Watch Terminator 3. Arnold is in it and it is a VERY good film. Ignore those who might leave comments saying it is not good. Total nonsense. It is a great movie. "TRUST me".
However, after that...Terminator 4 and 5...no.
I saw T2 in theaters when it came out. Peoples jaws dropped when they saw that endoskeleton in the opening scene, moving so smoothly. It was groundbreaking. At that point you knew you were in for a fantastic ride.
As I remember it, people were very quiet after the credits rolled. I think most were moved and in awe of what they had just seen.
"You say I'm not emotional, I can BE emotional! I cried like a baby at the end of Terminator 2, with the thumb..!"
The first two movies are a perfect thematic and cinematic one-two punch. From here on the series ranges from 'okay' to 'really quite bad', and all rather dumb. You can watch them if you want, some of them are kinda fun, but it's always correct to just pretend the story ends at the end of T2, with Sarah's narration.
Glad you liked it!
What a great series that was. I only see 1 UA-camr who's reacted to it. Should be more. Huge early moment for Edgar Wright & co.
Haha great reference! you Pegged it 😉
@RangoTV Yes. Episode 1.
Really glad you enjoyed the movies. I enjoyed your commentary and reactions. You've earned another subscriber!
Great reaction, watching right now enjoying. Theres actually an extended cut of T2 with some extended scenes(with Kyle and Sarah) and a different ending. But to answer your question as "do all terminators look like arnold" yeah they all look like Arnold. When T1 came our I don't think Cameron saw it with more than 2 going on or even a second but since the terminator did well he had a higher budget to work with and its pretty much been a staple in the franchise that all of the T-800 model aka Arnold's model of terminator all look the same.
I disagree. He's a T-800, model 101. I think it's been discussed by the fans that the robot within is the T-800 and "model 101" refers to looking like he does externally. So you could have different T-800 models that look like different humans.
There is a scene in T1 showing that terminators can have different appearance. Also Kyle himself says that he didn't knew how he looked, but he saw other terminators of his type in future. So in universe there is probably dozen different looks of this model. Of course because of financial and marketing reasons all T800s in sequels looks like Arnold. It depends if you want to look at this from lore perspective or from filmmaking perspective. Both statements are true.
@@MrBegmar Agreed. Skynet was brilliant enough to engineer this super robot and perform time travel. It wasn't going to goof up by making them all look the same. That's another thing I dislike about the third movie with the female terminator (I think that's the third one). At one point she incapacitates the T-800 and medics show up to help him thinking he's a human. They remark that he weighs a ton as they unsuccessfully try to move him. I always hated that because in the first movie Kyle talks about how they have bad breath, they sweat, ... everything. They have to use dogs to sniff them out. You can't have a T-800 infiltrator unit weighting 500 pounds or the "terminator test" at each resistance base would be stepping on a scale or walking across something that would snap under their weight. It totally contradicted the whole point of an infiltrator.
@@nonconsensualopinion I agree, he should be about the same weight as a large man. We don't know what this "hyper-alloy" he's made of is, so it could be something thin and light for metal, but still extremely strong.
@@nonconsensualopinion By the way, the only thing worth watching from the third movie is a deleted scene that tells part of the origin story of the Terminators. I just take it as a joke rather than canon, but in any case, Arnold as "Sgt. Candy" with that dubbed voice is hilarious! 😆
Here is a link to it:

FX over 30 years old still look top notch, even much better than current FX with CGI.
There has never been a better cast film.
Every actor was perfect for their role.
Yeah. He actually smiled. And "Uncle Bob" Terminator also smirked when he first laid eyes on the big mini gun in the weapons bunker. That's because in the extended cut John was teaching the Terminator how to smile and be a little more human. -OG
To me this one is def a top 25 movie of all time. I think its that well done.
I am SO glad you watched the theatrical cut as your first time watching this movie. So many reaction channels make the mistake of watching the special edition first. You should watch the special edition at some point, but NOT as your first time, as this cut is vastly superior to it. The scenes they cut were cut for good reason. The only scene I think I would have kept in was a scene that they cut where they cut open Arnold's head to reprogram his chip. In the original script, when John asks if he can learn anything he wasn't programmed with, his answer was that his computer is a learning computer but skynet disabled the learning aspect, he says it's "read only" so that he doesn't stray from the mission. So he walks them through the process to change that and remove that block. They ended up cutting the entire scene and simply had Arnold record the line "the more contact I have with people the more I learn" and Edward Furlong saying "cool" and they played that while their faces are off screen so you just assumed they said it.
Madison,
You have to remember that in that seven year gap between movies we didn't have the internet to create and hype or public demand for the studio to see. As far as we were concerned the story was wrapped up and ended in 1984. We never expected a sequel nor was there any talk of one until around 1990 when we found out one was being filmed. We were just happy and surprised a sequel was made.
After watching Madison's reaction to the first movie, was totally looking forward to this. Starting @37:58, watching Madison face turn from elation of the victory of beating the T-1000, to the final task to beat Skynet was gold.
Great job! Agree that its worth stopping here.
Congrats on the channel growth, well deserved

Your reaction is sooo real ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Sometimes I like it to cry during watching movies or hearing sad music. I watched your video again and again and again. Greetings and kisses from Hamburg 🤗🤗🤗

I love the fact that the technology used for the T-1000’s effects is still in use today.
They improved it of course but still..!
It must’ve been insane to see that in ‘91.
