Listen up Monkeh, I’ve never seen your videos resonantly but I see you are even more hideous than before with those wolverine claws and the first movie you react from this franchise you hate reptiles, this is the reason why I hate Monkeys like you.
Robert Patrick was a track runner. They had to do multiple takes because he kept catching up to John and his bike. It's just insane how he can run like that and still keep that expression. Ps, the ending gets me every time.
That was one of my favourite facts when I heard it a few years back, can you imagine how terrifying it must be for a full grown man to be able to accelerate and catch you on a motorbike?! 😂
Anyone with the most basic athleticism could catch up to that bike's tiny engine and slow speed. Christ I'm so tired of you raving lunatics regurgitating the same stupid shit endlessly
I also enjoy knowing he did his darndest to act like a machine. No blinking and optimal body movements. I think there are a few instances of him failing but just that he put so much effort into it is great. Puts many other actors to shame, lol EDIT: Forgot he also did his best to not visibly breathe on camera as well
@@acdcguy18 He had to train to do that during chase scenes too. I can't even imagine how difficult it must be to train yourself to run at a full sprint, maintain a perfect form, while also appearing to not be breathing or blinking, and keeping a neutral expression the whole while. He _really_ went all out for his role, and it paid off very well.
@@spencerarnold669 I mean, if it failed, we’d be talking about how stupid some directors can be. Sort of how we talk about how Alec Baldwin and his armorer.
There's no arguing that this movie is one of the greatest sequels ever made. Arnold shines yet again, the action is insane, The emotional moments hit so hard, and that scene with him giving the thumbs up in the molten metal is iconic.
Yeah, definitely the hardest-hitting thumbs up in movie history, which is kind of awesome, considering how it's normally a cheesy response, but here it's so perfect and so meaningful.
Fun fact: The scenes where you see two identical looking people in the same frame were done using twins (security guard in the mental hospital and Linda Hamilton in the climax). Leslie Hamilton served as her twin sister Linda's stand-in. Leslie sadly passed away in 2020.
RIP Leslie. But also, it's gotta be so crazy to have a super famous doppelgänger who people recognize on the street. I wonder how many times she was tired of explaining that she's the twin and just smiled and waved in appreciation anyway. Living vicariously as a movie star while the movie star is somewhere else, and you're family so you're going to see them next week. You'll describe the latest grocery store run-in with a fan, and swap stories once again.
Nothing better than seeing someone who hasn't been spoiled on the good guy/bad guy twist. Back then we all got spoiled because some marketing genius decided to put the twist IN THE FRIKKIN T2 TRAILER!
That helicopter chase scene was done for real. Chuck Tamburro flew it with barely 5 ft clearance above and below. This is still regarded as the benchmark action movie, and Linda Hamilton's performance makes it all that much better
@@ANGELINAA by the way in a critical role Battle Royale One shot, Grog (Travis) makes several references to the Terminator movies when he fought Taryon, including the finger waggle and the liquid nitrogen scene
@ANGELINAA Unfortunately they spoiled this in the trailer before the movie was released in theaters, so I already knew before the first time I watched it
@@jonasantonsson2305yeah, me too. That’s why I love watching T2 reactions so much. I can’t remember ever not knowing that Arnie was the protector in this one. So it’s fun to see people experience it the way I wish I could.
That moment when they break Sarah out of the hospital - when she falls down. The Terminator reached out his hand and said the same words Kyle Reese did in the first movie "Come with me if you want to live!" Seeing that for the first time in the theater gave me chills.
If you noticed, the whole time she was going ham at Miles, the Terminator music was playing until her emotions break her, because she realized she was acting just like the machines.
Linda Hamilton's acting in that scene is outstanding. Second only to her switch from badass freedom fighter to frightened victim when she sees the T101 enter the hallway.
James Cameron held off on making T2 for *years* until the right tech came along to do this movie the right way. The software to create the T1000 effect was created and perfected during Cameron's previous movie, The Abyss (which you should also see!). When the software guys demonstrated what they could do, Cameron knew he could finally make the sequel he wanted! To this day, I am super impressed with all the creative ways they used the liquid metal idea -- not just impersonating people, but melting into the floor, walking through a jail door, stabbing through the elevator doors and then splitting to become separate crowbar arms, that in-place reversal against the wall at the end... They really maximized the options so effectively that NONE of the sequels could really improve on it at all, and they all had to just recycle gags from T2. Cameron went for broke and made one of the greatest movies of all time.
Nobody *likes* that scene (and understandably so), but I think this was by far the biggest overreaction to it I've seen from someone 😂 We can accept that someone is a serial murderer or a hardcore drug slinger without batting an eye, but watching a dude lick a woman's face is what tends to get under people's skin. Kinda wild when you think about it, and I feel like people below a certain age tend to be more likely to have a sort of "hard no" reaction to it, given how sensitive topics relating to consent and sexual predation are in recent years. I'd venture a guess that a lot of us who were alive when this movie came out just kind of were desensitized to such things, or we didn't really give much thought to the topic during our formative years. By the time public sensibilities about acts like that one really shifted, we were already well into adulthood and had our own emotional reactions to it (more or less) solidified. But that's all speculation. I'm no expert on this. Maybe others have observed something totally different.
Robert Patrick really went above and beyond for this character. He already was an amazing runner, but he trained himself to run with that robotic posture, breathing only through his nose and without blinking. He also had to slow himself down because he was out running the dirt bike. Robert trained himself to shoot without blinking and doesn't blink in most if not all his scenes.
Fun Fact - if I remember correctly, in the Lore behind Terminator, they only made one T-1000, because it was basically their last ditch “break glass in case of emergency” model. It was fully autonomous, not under direct control of Skynet, and was so advanced with its own free will that they were afraid it would turn against Skynet and fight with the Humans. The previous Terminator models were all set to “Read Only” and couldn’t really learn, which is why they do the reset on Arnold’s Terminator in this movie so it’s machine learning is switched on. The T-1000 is allowed to learn, which is what makes it so dangerous to Skynet
No, Im pretty sure more than one was made. There are stories that depict T-1000’s in the future fighting for skynet. Also skynet is right to be worried. Most, if not all of the T-1000’s who were deployed eventually realized skynet was in the wrong and began fighting alongside the resistance. All this is in one of the comics, I dont remember which one, though.
@@mattiasandersson8693 not in the original timeline of the events of T2, they made one. It was literally a one of a kind advanced prototype. In the various branches after T2 they made more, but in T2 it was a one off
@@mattiasandersson8693 fun fact, expanded universe are not canon but yes, there are stories that depict them. The Sarah Connor Chronicles tv series also depicted a T-1000. But again, unless its a movie, its not canon and even then, its hard to say what is an isnt canon after this. Technically T-Dark Fate is the direct sequel to this, being that it was made by James Cameron and specifically stated to be a direct sequel, which means T3 is an alternate timeline, Genesys is an alternate timeline of the original film and no one gives a single fuck about Salvation
@@dabreal82 30 so far, and you gave enough of a shit to comment, clearly 👍 but congratulations on being the biggest asshole on the comment section, what an achievement! I’d say it’s something you could tell your kids one day but, let’s be honest, the closest you’ll ever get to being laid is a prostate exam. Have a good day ☺️
Well, the Alien series has a similar success story. The first one always deserves special praise since it started the story. The same is true for Alien and The Terminator. The second Alien movie (Aliens) was also done by James Cameron and also outperformed the first one, even though it was a bit much cliche hollywood action. I personally loved Alien 3, because it accidentally was the first I saw as a kid with my sister :) The third one is much more dire as they essentially have no weapons to fight back. Alien 3 was directed by David Fincher ("Se7en", "Fight Club", "Panic Room", ...) and was one of his first major success movies and shows his style. Alien 4 (Alien: Resurrection) wasn't nearly as good as the first 3, but has some great scenes as well. Though it has some cringe worthy scenes as well ^^.
The number of amazing bits in this movie is innumerable but the one that always gets me is that John programmed the Terminator to say the same thing that Reese said to Sarah in the first movie, "come with me if you want to live" so she would know it was safe to trust him ❤
Regarded as not only one of the best sequels to a film, but it’s regarded as one one of the best sci-fi films of all time. Genre defining for many, especially at the time it came out.
11:28 "Warp some clothes." He did: if you look over the scene in the beginning where he arrives naked and attacks the cop, the film cleverly cuts straight to the T1000 wearing a cop uniform and the audience assumes he swiped it off the dead officer. In fact, he just sampled the cop through physical contact, and immediately warped his clothes.
Being made of metal, he would have had to arrive inside a skin suit, just like the other terminator. After he shed that he could then emulate the cop's uniform.
When the T1000 "jabbed" Sara, in the mental hospital elevator scene, it would have then "sampled" her, instead of needing to do so later, in the steel mill. And when John flicked the broken claws off the back of the car (which then puddle-crawled back into the T1000), theoretically, HE would have been "sampled" for impersonation, as well.
@@brianmonks8657 Or they just figured out how to make liquid metal that could go through the time travel process. Which seems much more likely than coming through with a "skin suit" and then shedding it on arrival.
@@stuartparker-q3o Yes! When John grabbed and threw away the broken piece of the T-1000, for the rest of the movie I kept expecting the T-1000 to mimic John at some point, which never happened. Later, I remembered there was also the explanation that whatever the T-1000 mimicked had to be a similar size/mass to its original form. I suspect that dialog was thrown in specifically to indicate it couldn't mimic John.
That was an actual injury filmed in that scene. Earlier in filming the actor kept botching the scene where he kicks Linda against the wall, and had repeatedly kicked her legitimately into the wall for multiple takes. Linda got pissed off about it and legitimately cracked the guy's face open with part of a broomstick.
This movie is Peak Arnold. Not only did it cement his legacy in movie history, but it was such a cultural juggernaut that the "Terminator" image eventually made him Governor of California and life-long hero to millions...billions! 😲😉
By the end of the movie, after almost being destroyed using liquid nitrogen, the T1000 start glitching because his CPU was damaged. In the deleted scene, John is even able to tell who is his mother because of one of those glitch.
The t1000 is an actually liquid he's a series of very very very very small microbots that all network together. There was also some deleted scenes in the extended version that show him start to malfunction after he is frozen and then thawed back out and that is why he can no longer replicate other's voices and why he has Sarah call out to John instead of just doing it himself. Also in the deleted scenes his shape-shifting his malfunctioning and anything he is touching or in close proximity to his body will start to replicate that instead.
The reason the T-1000 it’s so dangerous is because it was designed it to be adaptable. So much so it has the ability to override its own programming and become independent and thus a possible threat to Skynet.
Except the T-1000 didn't lose the ability to sound like other people. That's how it lures John to him as Sarah Connor right before the real Sarah stepped out behind him and did the 1 handed shotgun cocking sequence where she keeps pumping it one handed until she runs out of ammo and The Terminator shows up and finished him with the grenade launcher that sent him into the molten steel.
Robert Patrick trained like hell to run with upper body straight and no mouth breathing. He in fact trained so well that first cut of car chase scene had to be re-shot. Because he outran the car. He also learned to shoot without blinking and very quickly reloading.
Three trivia facts about this movie: 1. Almost all the special effects were practical, the only exception being when Robert Patrick's character morphs his body/heals. The scenes with the T-1000 mimicking another person in the same shot were their twin siblings in the scene. 2. The undershot of the truck jumping the bridge was filmed by the director himself because the camera crew were scared for their safety. 3. The Heli chase was mostly done for real, the pilot was a Vietnam veteran weaving under and over the highway bridges, tunnels and trucks. Close up shots was done with a crane holding the helicopter
It blows my mind that there's a generation of people that don't believe you when you tell them, "Yeah, they actually sent a semi off of a bridge," or, "Someone actually flew that helicopter under that bridge."
21:14 - on the audio commentary, Cameron said he received a letter from one of the labs that makes weapons like this. The message basically was: “Thank you for making Terminator 2. It is the most realistic depiction of the effects of a nuclear weapon.” Cameron felt torn. On one hand, he appreciated that he got the look of the effects right…but the fact that this was “accurate,” was terrifying.
Homework assignment from T2: practice saying quickly 'Angelina actually appreciates Arnold's ample appropriating all assets around an astonishingly awesome outdoors underground ammunition arsenal'.
"That a machine, a terminator, can learn the value of human life maybe we can to." God that line hits hard. I love Angelia's reactions she is so into the movie. Her enthusiasm is so awesome. The book on Terminator 2 goes even more in detail. That the reason he came back after shutdown was beyond just alternate power..he has flashes of John and Sarah...and forces his programming and body to find alternate power. So mix of human nature and machine.
The t1000 works by every drop of liquid metal functioning as a machine like nano technology. It doesn't see visually like people or the t-800 model but has sensory awareness of its surroundings. It also make itself stretch out to imitate others but that leaves empty pockets on the inside.
@@deepermind4884 I mean nanotechnology isn't fiction, it's a legitimate field of science. A meeting point of chemistry and engineering. There is nothing but technological advancement that would prevent microscopic CPUs from existing. There was a time where fitting a computer in your pocket would have been considered "science fiction." And now I'm typing this from one.
Common misconception in movies is shooting people in the legs and arms being less lethal, but the arms and legs have main arteries that if fully severed give you about 60 seconds until you bleed out if you’re lucky
@@raybernal6829 and we eat it up all our lives. When people come to a situation where they’re shot in the leg they’ll think “oh I’m okay it’s just a leg” when in reality it’s their worst nightmare. To be fair no one wants to be shot anywhere in their body 😂
This is explained in universe. The terminators have detailed files on human anatomy, the t800 is literally aiming between his major arteries when he shoots the guy in the leg.
"I know now why you cry. But it's something I can never do." A great way of saying "I'm not crying, you're crying". (Narrator: He was, in fact, crying.)
I love the fact that Robert Patrick (T-1000) got special training to run like he does when he chases John out of the mall, running without moving his head too much, running and it not look like he's breathing/winded and running efficiently, he was so good at it that the first couple of takes he actually caught up with the bike so he had to run slower to not catching him to fast. He also very rarely blinks as T-1000 and he would for close ups actually hold his breath so it would look like he wasn't breating at all. That's dedication to the role.
[Near-50 yrs ago - For whoever Cares]: Back in my Teens and early 20s, I was (135 lbs, fast-twitch) an EXPLOSIVE (anaerobic) Sprinter. I could accelerate SO Fast, and it was SO INVIGORATING ! [My Dad had previously set a 22-YEAR dash record]. But the "conventional" High School approach at my time ("I'm a SPRINTER, and you want me to JOG 10 MILES ?!") ruined My attempts at training, so I quit in disgust. But seeing Jason Patrick's sprinting style reminded me of how I did so, back in my then-physical heyday.
One of the reasons people were excited for you to see this is that when this movie came out, all the ads and trailers spoiled the twist that Arnie was the good guy, so it's rare to see someone surprised by it.
@23:17 that whole sequence where he removes his forearm flesh is done so well, it doesn't get enough credit. It looks like that's really his freaking arm that he just yanks a bunch of skin off of!
The Terminator was the last film where Arnold played as a villain. He hated the fearsome image it stamped upon him, but thankfully it was so amazingly successful, that he was pretty much able to write his own ticket, ever after.
Congratulations you just watched in my humble opinion the greatest action sci if movie ever made … period amazing action , fx, creative storytelling, and the ultimate heartbreaking sacrifice from the terminator (Dyson too) . Maybe Aliens, matrix , come close but this the daddy of em all! Great reaction,
Funnily enough, there is an explanation (of sorts) about how the T-1000 (liquid metal Terminator) works in the film's novelization. It explains that Skynet created the T-1000 pretty much by accident, and that it itself, the vastly intelligent AI that is actively destroying humanity... DOESN'T KNOW HOW IT WORKS EITHER, and not only that, but Skynet is fuckin SCARED of the T-1000 too (or at least, as scared as a computer CAN be). It describes how it's functions and systems are a complete mystery, and how Skynet itself doesn't trust the T-1000 with it's own safety. As powerful and special as the T-1000 is, Skynet is actively frightened of it's potential, and basically sent it back to kill John primarily to get rid of the damn thing.
I’ve watched dozens of Terminator 2 reactions and you made observations I have never heard and/or considered. Thank you for a thoughtful and insightful reaction. I’ll be back! 👍
0:29 I don't think it's "so much better", it's just that it left a bigger footprint in pop culture, because it's deservedly the most successful T-movie. (In my opinion, it doesn't beat the '84 original, although it's true that it was the best sequel of all time!)
Fun Fact: 2 sets of twins were used in this Movie. The Cop the T-1000 kills after transforming into him by poking him through they eye those were twin brothers. Also during the scene where Sarah comes up behind the T-1000 disguised as her, that was Linda Hamilton's twin sister Leslie who sadly died in 2020 of Covid.
Sarah always knew how to work the pump action on the shotgun (even with one functional arm). The problem earlier was that the shotgun's tube magazine was empty, and it took too long to insert each shell for each shot. When she showed up later, however, it was after she had inserted all of the shells it could hold, which was why she could shoot multiple shots without inserting new shells (just by working the pump action). Unfortunately, however, its shell capacity was just one short from sending the T-1000 to its death in the molten steel below.
Great choices. Best reaction is going to The Thing totally blind, not knowing anything that's going to happen. Iron Giant is a great animated movie, IMO.
Also, the price of security camera systems has drastically decreased over the years. Cameras are everywhere now because each one doesn't cost $1,000 or more any longer.
US murder rate in 1991: 9.8 per 100K. Murder rate in 2024: 7.5 per 100K. Lots of crime misconceptions out there. Like add up the population and murders in the 7 least populous whole states you get 8.1M people and 356 homicides, while NYC the most densely populated city in America has 8.3M people and 386 homicides.
Crime was much higher in the 90's. 1991 had the highest violent crime rate ever recorded in the U.S. That said, I do miss a lot of things about that era, though.
@@Wowzersdude-k5c no it wasn't, crime started peaking in the 00s, it was on an upwards rise in the 90s but the only way to have known about it and therefore already have security cameras in lobbies in the 90s would be to travel back in time and tell people "yeah it's gonna get bad" Shame Reese didn't tell people that in T1 eh?
The steel factory was an abandoned mill in Fontana California. It was also the filming location for the opening scene of the war. The special effects in Sarah's dream scene was done by Adam Jones, the guitarist of the band TOOL.
T2 is easily one of the best sequels ever produced. The T-1000 is made of memeticpolyalloy, that's essential trillions of nanomachines. By default, they exist in a liquid state that can change density, hardness, and shapes based on whatever is preprogrammed and whatever the terminator gains information on through physical contact.
This has been my favorite movie of all time ever since I was a little boy (Thanks for letting me watch this, Mom. Whoops). I love watching people react to this movie when they realize that Arnold is the good Terminator in this movie. Such a great plot twist and such a perfect movie. Your reactions were awesome as well!
I was a kid when Terminator 2 first came out. I remember as a kid we were allowed to watch Terminator 2, but we weren't allowed to watch Terminator 1. Then I watched it years later as a teenager, and it was because of that one sex scene. Good parenting by my mom. I remember watching T1 thinking Kyle was also a Terminator 😂
It was a joy to watch you experience this film for the first time! I’m sure you know by now that the promotions for the film revealed that Arnie was the protector in this film, so I never got to experience that twist in the cinema. But watching you experience it was the next best thing! Loved your reactions and commentary! I’ve just subscribed to your channel! Also, all the best with working towards getting those Sarah Connor arm guns! Keep at it! 💪🏼
Great video! I lived near where they shot the skynet shootout at the end. They warned everyone on the news that there would be explosions and gunfire, and it was summertime so my parents let my sister and I stay up to hear them. It was super exciting as a kid because we knew this would be in the new Terminator movie!
Amazing sequel. The performances by everyone were incredible. A fantastic mix of awesome practical effects and new CGI. It was mind-blowing in 1991 and still looks very good in 2024. Miles Bennett Dyson was actually a good man simply thinking he was designing a cutting edge computer, and gave his life tragically to save humanity. He's was such a good man that he even gave the men that shot him warning/time to get out before the explosion. Holding on aslong as he could.
The lady who played John’s stepmom is the same actress who played Vasquez in Aliens and is also the Irish mother who who puts her kids to sleep while the ship was sinking in Titanic.
Though, that is a plot hole never explained. In T1 we were told no exposed machinery could go through the time travel. So Arnie had to be a naked skin bag. The T-1000 is all metal. I guess skynet could have poured him into a skin cacoon and sent him?
@@chrisgorman1652 Arnie terminator is also surrounded by vat-grown human flesh, so it's not so much a stretch that the T1000 started out with a layer of skin on top
The new Terminator (the liquid metal version) was actually comprised of nano-technology. The 'metallic looking liquid' was actually comprised of trillions of microscopic nano-particles working together.
"I need a vacation" was an ad lib from Arnold. It got a huge laugh from the crew and later the test audiences, so the line stayed in regardless of whether or not it was believable for the T-800 to have spoken.
I too was curious and confused of the T-1000's structure and composition (besides mercury). Apparently what I extracted from the novel and fan theories is that his design comes from nanotechnology where each particle has it's own individual circuit and power source and therefore is able to change states, create propulsion and move. Pretty neat concept and apparently they are actually experimenting with this science irl oh-oh
Hi Angelina, I just wanted to reach out and let you know how much your channel means to me, especially your reaction to Terminator 2: Judgment Day. It’s my absolute favorite movie in the Terminator series, and seeing it through your eyes has honestly made my day. You bring such an amazing energy and fresh perspective that I can’t help but watch over and over-it’s honestly brilliant! I recently came out of the hospital after a life-changing and life-threatening situation, and it’s been a tough journey. But watching your reactions has been such a source of comfort and joy during this time. Knowing I can rely on your content to lift my spirits and bring a smile to my face has meant the world to me. So please, keep doing what you’re doing because you have a forever supporter right here! Thank you so much for everything. Your reactions are a bright spot that I truly look forward to. Can’t wait to see what you react to next! All the best, Reacher
One big difference between the two films is that Schwarzenegger starred in nine movies in between them, including Commando, Predator, The Running Man, Twins, Total Recall, and Kindergarten Cop. He more or less learned how to act along the way.
Do yourself a favor and stop here with the Terminator movies. The rest are shameless cash-grabs that do nothing but tarnish the greatness of the first two movies.
I woudnt stop here . Definitely after t3. Film didn’t flop when it came out and was definitely watchable compared to the rest after t3 . May not be close as good as the first 2 big was still solid. Arnold’s peak as the terminator was the third movie
@@CHRISTALGIA T3 should never have happened. It invalidated the sacrifices of all the characters in T2. Sarah went from waitress to huntress to stop the war. She gave 110% of herself for it. Miles died to stop it. The t100 died to stop it. John lost the only father figure he ever connected with to stop it. And because of greedy Hollywood executives they said "to hell with all their sacrifices, the war is happening anyway because money money money." They did the same thing to the Aliens and Predator franchises.
@@Galbergoth nawh t3 should have happened just with James Cameron telling a story that’s not copy pasted . T3 is its own thing and isn’t James’s work wich is all that matters . Alone t3 was as decent movie , definitely not a masterpiece . There’s already been tons of talk foff tf so long about James making a t3 to his first two terminator movies. Stop looking at t3 as a disgrace towards the first two movies in that mindset . Watching all the other terminator movies after t3 were bad and weren’t a vibe like t3 was to the first two and made t3 loom even more like a better movie then what people first thought seing it before hand . The female in t3 was definitely interesting just not with a great story behind it as of course Arnold as a terminator is always the most interesting to get people even first intresting in even watching to begin with. We know how the story went between t1 and t2 , there’s no need for you to explain anything as if James made a t3 than your comment on saying a t3 shouldn’t have happened wouldn’t matter as everything James comes out with turns to gold and there’s always a reason for more storytelling begins his magic once there’s a great story put in place for it
My friends and I saw it in theatres on opening night. Take note of the difference between "films" of today and the exemplary work James Cameron (and cast & crew) created in the 80's and 90's. And btw, yes, Michael Biehn REALLY helped to set the tone for just how incredible this series was. He deserves way, way, WAAAYYY more credit than he really ever received from Hollywon't, but at least Cameron always had a role for him (The Abyss, Aliens, etc.).
@@ANGELINAA thank you! My name is Terrell. Ithought I had introduced myself in the post, but I see I forgot to post my name. You're awesome Angelina! I hope to nerd out and geek out with you one day 💚
All right. Here's my theory: The reason for the T-1000 travelling through the time displacement field emulating a naked human man was probably two-folded: 1 - It needed to fake having an organic shell for the time displacement tech to work. Clothes or any inorganic material doesn't get through by itself. Alternatively, the creature could have been temporarily "wrapped" in actual living tissue that burned away during the procedure. 2 - It hadn't sampled any 90's clothes yet. 😁 Anything the T-1000 emulated as clothes, it had to be in physical contact with first.
A lot of people don't realise that the original Terminator (and a lot more classic 80 films like Alien) were actually low budget movies. On the first Terminator they were actually doing guerrilla style filming in alleyways because they couldn't afford permits. So thats why the sequels to these films really feel like such a step up, advances in technology helped but the vast majority of the improvements was just down to blockbuster budgets
Its a real shame we don't get more ambitious low budget movies where studios can take a chance on a new IP without spending $200m. A24 seem to be the only ones really focusing on it
2:24 that future war escene have been ageing like fine wine, with every remaster this movie gets, HD , 4K... , the balance between the practical and the digital effects is amazing , and the cherry on the top are the SFX.
In 2003, the American Film Institute ran a TV program in which it detailed its choices for the 50 greatest heroes and 50 greatest villains in the history of the movies, and Arnold Schwarzenegger's characters from both Terminator movies made the list; he also hosted the program.
Another note is in the bike chase, when the T-800 passes the truck. You can see the stunt double on the bike right before he grabs John. They fixed that in the later releases.
Yall were right... I was not ready for this one...
Told you. But word of warning…..I’d stop here for the Terminator franchise. It peaked here and it got worse for the subsequent movies.
Love You 😘
Yep

I mean, if it failed, we’d be talking about how stupid some directors can be. Sort of how we talk about how Alec Baldwin and his armorer.
There's no arguing that this movie is one of the greatest sequels ever made. Arnold shines yet again, the action is insane, The emotional moments hit so hard, and that scene with him giving the thumbs up in the molten metal is iconic.
Couldn't agree more! (Kung fu panda 2 is up there though)
@@ANGELINAAOh, absolutely. KFP2 is my personal favorite by far.
@@DanGamingFan2406and Shrek 2
Yeah, definitely the hardest-hitting thumbs up in movie history, which is kind of awesome, considering how it's normally a cheesy response, but here it's so perfect and so meaningful.
it's a 3-way tie between this, Aliens, and Top Gun Maverick.
Yeah, James Cameron was like "I made ya'll fear robots in the last movie. I'm gonna make ya'll love this one in the second movie. "
That didn't work. The robots WILL kill us.
Fun fact: The scenes where you see two identical looking people in the same frame were done using twins (security guard in the mental hospital and Linda Hamilton in the climax).
Leslie Hamilton served as her twin sister Linda's stand-in. Leslie sadly passed away in 2020.
Linda's twin also did a scene in the deleted scene in the gas station with fake mirror.
RIP Leslie. But also, it's gotta be so crazy to have a super famous doppelgänger who people recognize on the street. I wonder how many times she was tired of explaining that she's the twin and just smiled and waved in appreciation anyway. Living vicariously as a movie star while the movie star is somewhere else, and you're family so you're going to see them next week. You'll describe the latest grocery store run-in with a fan, and swap stories once again.
And the twins who played the hospital guard appear together again in Gremlins 2! 😃

Nothing better than seeing someone who hasn't been spoiled on the good guy/bad guy twist.
Back then we all got spoiled because some marketing genius decided to put the twist IN THE FRIKKIN T2 TRAILER!
Probably that same marketing genius who then put the big twist of Terminator Genisys in the trailers as well.
@@AICW Funny, Terminator wasnt done by Sony, they reveal all the crap for their movies
Not to mention the toyline commercials.
That helicopter chase scene was done for real. Chuck Tamburro flew it with barely 5 ft clearance above and below. This is still regarded as the benchmark action movie, and Linda Hamilton's performance makes it all that much better
That's SO COOL!!!! Big ups CHUCK!!

Linda Hamilton is absolutely iconic in this movie. A master class in acting, and easily one of the greatest character progressions in cinema history.
I also love that you can see the old Sarah in her performance, but overlaid with toughness, training, and trauma
“GET DOWN!” Amazing reveal! You’re lucky you didn’t get that spoiled!
SUCH a good twist!!!!
@ANGELINAA Unfortunately they spoiled this in the trailer before the movie was released in theaters, so I already knew before the first time I watched it
@@jonasantonsson2305yeah, me too. That’s why I love watching T2 reactions so much. I can’t remember ever not knowing that Arnie was the protector in this one. So it’s fun to see people experience it the way I wish I could.
It’s so great that this movie is old enough now that this twist is able to surprise people.
Back in 1991, not only the trailer spoiled it, but all the marketing too!
That moment when they break Sarah out of the hospital - when she falls down. The Terminator reached out his hand and said the same words Kyle Reese did in the first movie "Come with me if you want to live!" Seeing that for the first time in the theater gave me chills.
If you noticed, the whole time she was going ham at Miles, the Terminator music was playing until her emotions break her, because she realized she was acting just like the machines.
Linda Hamilton's acting in that scene is outstanding. Second only to her switch from badass freedom fighter to frightened victim when she sees the T101 enter the hallway.
I mean at that moment she became......
...
...
the Terminator
Exactly. The sunglasses were the tipoff that Sarah had become a Terminator herself at that point
James Cameron held off on making T2 for *years* until the right tech came along to do this movie the right way. The software to create the T1000 effect was created and perfected during Cameron's previous movie, The Abyss (which you should also see!). When the software guys demonstrated what they could do, Cameron knew he could finally make the sequel he wanted! To this day, I am super impressed with all the creative ways they used the liquid metal idea -- not just impersonating people, but melting into the floor, walking through a jail door, stabbing through the elevator doors and then splitting to become separate crowbar arms, that in-place reversal against the wall at the end... They really maximized the options so effectively that NONE of the sequels could really improve on it at all, and they all had to just recycle gags from T2. Cameron went for broke and made one of the greatest movies of all time.
13:23 when a scene disturbs you so deeply that your immediate physical environment begins to fall apart. 🤣
Yea.. It was hard for her😂😂😂
lol imagine to be hired and your only part is basically to lick a woman.
@@sasapetroski981 and for the actor who had to do it. Linda basically said to him 'quit being a pussy and do it!' while they were filming it.
Nobody *likes* that scene (and understandably so), but I think this was by far the biggest overreaction to it I've seen from someone 😂
We can accept that someone is a serial murderer or a hardcore drug slinger without batting an eye, but watching a dude lick a woman's face is what tends to get under people's skin. Kinda wild when you think about it, and I feel like people below a certain age tend to be more likely to have a sort of "hard no" reaction to it, given how sensitive topics relating to consent and sexual predation are in recent years.
I'd venture a guess that a lot of us who were alive when this movie came out just kind of were desensitized to such things, or we didn't really give much thought to the topic during our formative years. By the time public sensibilities about acts like that one really shifted, we were already well into adulthood and had our own emotional reactions to it (more or less) solidified.
But that's all speculation. I'm no expert on this. Maybe others have observed something totally different.
I've seen this movie with both men and women and they all just laughed at it, this generation overreacts to everything.
Robert Patrick really went above and beyond for this character. He already was an amazing runner, but he trained himself to run with that robotic posture, breathing only through his nose and without blinking. He also had to slow himself down because he was out running the dirt bike. Robert trained himself to shoot without blinking and doesn't blink in most if not all his scenes.
Fun Fact - if I remember correctly, in the Lore behind Terminator, they only made one T-1000, because it was basically their last ditch “break glass in case of emergency” model. It was fully autonomous, not under direct control of Skynet, and was so advanced with its own free will that they were afraid it would turn against Skynet and fight with the Humans.
The previous Terminator models were all set to “Read Only” and couldn’t really learn, which is why they do the reset on Arnold’s Terminator in this movie so it’s machine learning is switched on. The T-1000 is allowed to learn, which is what makes it so dangerous to Skynet
No, Im pretty sure more than one was made. There are stories that depict T-1000’s in the future fighting for skynet. Also skynet is right to be worried. Most, if not all of the T-1000’s who were deployed eventually realized skynet was in the wrong and began fighting alongside the resistance.
All this is in one of the comics, I dont remember which one, though.
@@mattiasandersson8693 not in the original timeline of the events of T2, they made one. It was literally a one of a kind advanced prototype. In the various branches after T2 they made more, but in T2 it was a one off
@@mattiasandersson8693 fun fact, expanded universe are not canon
but yes, there are stories that depict them. The Sarah Connor Chronicles tv series also depicted a T-1000.
But again, unless its a movie, its not canon and even then, its hard to say what is an isnt canon after this. Technically T-Dark Fate is the direct sequel to this, being that it was made by James Cameron and specifically stated to be a direct sequel, which means T3 is an alternate timeline, Genesys is an alternate timeline of the original film and no one gives a single fuck about Salvation
Fun fact, no one but like 9 people give a shit.
@@dabreal82 30 so far, and you gave enough of a shit to comment, clearly 👍 but congratulations on being the biggest asshole on the comment section, what an achievement! I’d say it’s something you could tell your kids one day but, let’s be honest, the closest you’ll ever get to being laid is a prostate exam. Have a good day ☺️
Terminator 2 is a rare example where the sequel outshines the first. I was really excited to see your reaction, so I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Well, the Alien series has a similar success story. The first one always deserves special praise since it started the story. The same is true for Alien and The Terminator. The second Alien movie (Aliens) was also done by James Cameron and also outperformed the first one, even though it was a bit much cliche hollywood action. I personally loved Alien 3, because it accidentally was the first I saw as a kid with my sister :) The third one is much more dire as they essentially have no weapons to fight back. Alien 3 was directed by David Fincher ("Se7en", "Fight Club", "Panic Room", ...) and was one of his first major success movies and shows his style. Alien 4 (Alien: Resurrection) wasn't nearly as good as the first 3, but has some great scenes as well. Though it has some cringe worthy scenes as well ^^.
The number of amazing bits in this movie is innumerable but the one that always gets me is that John programmed the Terminator to say the same thing that Reese said to Sarah in the first movie, "come with me if you want to live" so she would know it was safe to trust him ❤
Regarded as not only one of the best sequels to a film, but it’s regarded as one one of the best sci-fi films of all time. Genre defining for many, especially at the time it came out.
11:28 "Warp some clothes." He did: if you look over the scene in the beginning where he arrives naked and attacks the cop, the film cleverly cuts straight to the T1000 wearing a cop uniform and the audience assumes he swiped it off the dead officer. In fact, he just sampled the cop through physical contact, and immediately warped his clothes.
And took his gun. The only physical thing (as well as the car) that the T1000 took from the cop.
Being made of metal, he would have had to arrive inside a skin suit, just like the other terminator. After he shed that he could then emulate the cop's uniform.
When the T1000 "jabbed" Sara, in the mental hospital elevator scene, it would have then "sampled" her, instead of needing to do so later, in the steel mill. And when John flicked the broken claws off the back of the car (which then puddle-crawled back into the T1000), theoretically, HE would have been "sampled" for impersonation, as well.
@@brianmonks8657 Or they just figured out how to make liquid metal that could go through the time travel process. Which seems much more likely than coming through with a "skin suit" and then shedding it on arrival.
@@stuartparker-q3o Yes! When John grabbed and threw away the broken piece of the T-1000, for the rest of the movie I kept expecting the T-1000 to mimic John at some point, which never happened. Later, I remembered there was also the explanation that whatever the T-1000 mimicked had to be a similar size/mass to its original form. I suspect that dialog was thrown in specifically to indicate it couldn't mimic John.
One of the best action movies of all time. 😎👍
Fun fact: Angelina's right eye is a terminator which is why it cannot produce tears like the Terminator.
Such a great film, love that Arnold being good wasn't spoiled for you. It was also a HUGE leap in CG tech (along with Jurassic Park).
I’m 42, seen this movie so many times, but the ending still destroys me each time 👍😂
Amazing movie, glad you enjoyed 🙏
As someone else already did, I would really recommend The Thing from john carpenter for Halloween
the face licking was just the setup for the joy of seeing the dude getting his face rearranged with a mop handle
also: all too real jab at the mental health care system & ...hell, both movies quite correctly set that "institution" and those part of it, on fire
That was an actual injury filmed in that scene. Earlier in filming the actor kept botching the scene where he kicks Linda against the wall, and had repeatedly kicked her legitimately into the wall for multiple takes. Linda got pissed off about it and legitimately cracked the guy's face open with part of a broomstick.
Your reaction to him licking her face was hilarious. Best laugh of the week!
All the female reactors I've seen get completely grossed out by this and usually want the guy dead. Male reactors are typically "huh" or "ew".
and the actor playing the orderly would only agree to that scene if Sarah would get revenge on him
This movie is Peak Arnold. Not only did it cement his legacy in movie history, but it was such a cultural juggernaut that the "Terminator" image eventually made him Governor of California and life-long hero to millions...billions! 😲😉
By the end of the movie, after almost being destroyed using liquid nitrogen, the T1000 start glitching because his CPU was damaged. In the deleted scene, John is even able to tell who is his mother because of one of those glitch.
Feet "morphing" into the metal floor grating. So Cool !
The art for the foster dad when he died had me on the floor 😂
The t1000 is an actually liquid he's a series of very very very very small microbots that all network together. There was also some deleted scenes in the extended version that show him start to malfunction after he is frozen and then thawed back out and that is why he can no longer replicate other's voices and why he has Sarah call out to John instead of just doing it himself. Also in the deleted scenes his shape-shifting his malfunctioning and anything he is touching or in close proximity to his body will start to replicate that instead.
The reason the T-1000 it’s so dangerous is because it was designed it to be adaptable. So much so it has the ability to override its own programming and become independent and thus a possible threat to Skynet.
Except the T-1000 didn't lose the ability to sound like other people. That's how it lures John to him as Sarah Connor right before the real Sarah stepped out behind him and did the 1 handed shotgun cocking sequence where she keeps pumping it one handed until she runs out of ammo and The Terminator shows up and finished him with the grenade launcher that sent him into the molten steel.
1, 2, and the TV series "The Sarah Connor Chronicles" are all you need to watch.
I like salvation. It was the only one that's different
I also enjoyed T3
Add Terminator: Zero (2024) to the list. The other Terminator films are also a fun watch even if we don't all enjoy them.
@@LittleGalaxyBoy Animated? Go away, little boy.... this is a discussion for adults.

This was one of the best 90s movies ever made. Glad you loved it!
Robert Patrick trained like hell to run with upper body straight and no mouth breathing.
He in fact trained so well that first cut of car chase scene had to be re-shot. Because he outran the car.
He also learned to shoot without blinking and very quickly reloading.
I think he was outrunning John on the moped. A car would be a little ridiculous.
@@3DJapanAnd I think they had to switch for a stunt men on a faster bike because they could not ask a kid to go faster.
Three trivia facts about this movie:
1. Almost all the special effects were practical, the only exception being when Robert Patrick's character morphs his body/heals. The scenes with the T-1000 mimicking another person in the same shot were their twin siblings in the scene.
2. The undershot of the truck jumping the bridge was filmed by the director himself because the camera crew were scared for their safety.
3. The Heli chase was mostly done for real, the pilot was a Vietnam veteran weaving under and over the highway bridges, tunnels and trucks. Close up shots was done with a crane holding the helicopter
It blows my mind that there's a generation of people that don't believe you when you tell them, "Yeah, they actually sent a semi off of a bridge," or, "Someone actually flew that helicopter under that bridge."
The fact that you didn't know the twist in this is such a blessing! Great video, as always!
21:14 - on the audio commentary, Cameron said he received a letter from one of the labs that makes weapons like this.
The message basically was: “Thank you for making Terminator 2. It is the most realistic depiction of the effects of a nuclear weapon.”
Cameron felt torn. On one hand, he appreciated that he got the look of the effects right…but the fact that this was “accurate,” was terrifying.
That is so interesting. Sandia NL or Los Alamos, yeah it was pretty realistic
@@cameronspence4977 - I think it was Sandia.
Homework assignment from T2: practice saying quickly 'Angelina actually appreciates Arnold's ample appropriating all assets around an astonishingly awesome outdoors underground ammunition arsenal'.
One of the best films in all of Hollywood history. My childhood friend and I saw it at the cinema on its opening week back in '91.
"That a machine, a terminator, can learn the value of human life maybe we can to." God that line hits hard. I love Angelia's reactions she is so into the movie. Her enthusiasm is so awesome. The book on Terminator 2 goes even more in detail. That the reason he came back after shutdown was beyond just alternate power..he has flashes of John and Sarah...and forces his programming and body to find alternate power. So mix of human nature and machine.
The t1000 works by every drop of liquid metal functioning as a machine like nano technology. It doesn't see visually like people or the t-800 model but has sensory awareness of its surroundings. It also make itself stretch out to imitate others but that leaves empty pockets on the inside.
Wouldn't it still need a Central Processing Unit somewhere in him? It doesn't make sense to me.
I assumed it was similar to nanomac#ines as well....Skynet apparently was afraid of T 1000 and discontinued t#em in some fiction

Common misconception in movies is shooting people in the legs and arms being less lethal, but the arms and legs have main arteries that if fully severed give you about 60 seconds until you bleed out if you’re lucky
what i love about the human body, best/worst enemy. does everything to keep you alive, but also unalives you in less than 60 seconds.
But it's a movie so they'll do what they feel necessary to continue the storyline 😉
@@raybernal6829 and we eat it up all our lives. When people come to a situation where they’re shot in the leg they’ll think “oh I’m okay it’s just a leg” when in reality it’s their worst nightmare. To be fair no one wants to be shot anywhere in their body 😂
This is explained in universe. The terminators have detailed files on human anatomy, the t800 is literally aiming between his major arteries when he shoots the guy in the leg.
The femoral artery being one of the most dangerous. Nearly as bad as getting your carotid or jugular cut.
"I know now why you cry. But it's something I can never do." A great way of saying "I'm not crying, you're crying". (Narrator: He was, in fact, crying.)
I love the fact that Robert Patrick (T-1000) got special training to run like he does when he chases John out of the mall, running without moving his head too much, running and it not look like he's breathing/winded and running efficiently, he was so good at it that the first couple of takes he actually caught up with the bike so he had to run slower to not catching him to fast. He also very rarely blinks as T-1000 and he would for close ups actually hold his breath so it would look like he wasn't breating at all. That's dedication to the role.
[Near-50 yrs ago - For whoever Cares]: Back in my Teens and early 20s, I was (135 lbs, fast-twitch) an EXPLOSIVE (anaerobic) Sprinter. I could accelerate SO Fast, and it was SO INVIGORATING ! [My Dad had previously set a 22-YEAR dash record].
But the "conventional" High School approach at my time ("I'm a SPRINTER, and you want me to JOG 10 MILES ?!") ruined My attempts at training, so I quit in disgust.
But seeing Jason Patrick's sprinting style reminded me of how I did so, back in my then-physical heyday.
One of the reasons people were excited for you to see this is that when this movie came out, all the ads and trailers spoiled the twist that Arnie was the good guy, so it's rare to see someone surprised by it.
This is easily the greatest sequel ever made
@23:17 that whole sequence where he removes his forearm flesh is done so well, it doesn't get enough credit. It looks like that's really his freaking arm that he just yanks a bunch of skin off of!
The Terminator was the last film where Arnold played as a villain. He hated the fearsome image it stamped upon him, but thankfully it was so amazingly successful, that he was pretty much able to write his own ticket, ever after.
They actually were gonna cast OJ Simpson as the Terminator first (true story).
Congratulations you just watched in my humble opinion the greatest action sci if movie ever made … period amazing action , fx, creative storytelling, and the ultimate heartbreaking sacrifice from the terminator (Dyson too) . Maybe Aliens, matrix , come close but this the daddy of em all! Great reaction,
Funnily enough, there is an explanation (of sorts) about how the T-1000 (liquid metal Terminator) works in the film's novelization.
It explains that Skynet created the T-1000 pretty much by accident, and that it itself, the vastly intelligent AI that is actively destroying humanity... DOESN'T KNOW HOW IT WORKS EITHER, and not only that, but Skynet is fuckin SCARED of the T-1000 too (or at least, as scared as a computer CAN be). It describes how it's functions and systems are a complete mystery, and how Skynet itself doesn't trust the T-1000 with it's own safety. As powerful and special as the T-1000 is, Skynet is actively frightened of it's potential, and basically sent it back to kill John primarily to get rid of the damn thing.
Skynet being afraid of the T-1000 is awesome.
I’ve watched dozens of Terminator 2 reactions and you made observations I have never heard and/or considered. Thank you for a thoughtful and insightful reaction. I’ll be back! 👍
0:29 I don't think it's "so much better", it's just that it left a bigger footprint in pop culture, because it's deservedly the most successful T-movie. (In my opinion, it doesn't beat the '84 original, although it's true that it was the best sequel of all time!)
OMG, fumbling "artillery" into "artillerary" combined with the "Have you ever had a dream that that you um" kid absolutely SENT me. Fantastic!
😂😂😂
Fun Fact: 2 sets of twins were used in this Movie. The Cop the T-1000 kills after transforming into him by poking him through they eye those were twin brothers. Also during the scene where Sarah comes up behind the T-1000 disguised as her, that was Linda Hamilton's twin sister Leslie who sadly died in 2020 of Covid.
Sarah always knew how to work the pump action on the shotgun (even with one functional arm). The problem earlier was that the shotgun's tube magazine was empty, and it took too long to insert each shell for each shot. When she showed up later, however, it was after she had inserted all of the shells it could hold, which was why she could shoot multiple shots without inserting new shells (just by working the pump action). Unfortunately, however, its shell capacity was just one short from sending the T-1000 to its death in the molten steel below.
JUST SAW THIS WATCHING NOW, MY FAV TERMINATOR MOVIE
I Wish They Brought the movie back In Theaters for 35th Anniversary in 2026, But this movie still a Masterpiece in the 90s 😎🔥

OMG The Thing is amazing. Totally would recommend it too
I third the thing, one of the most tense movies I've ever watched
Great choices. Best reaction is going to The Thing totally blind, not knowing anything that's going to happen. Iron Giant is a great animated movie, IMO.

"you're telling me there were no security cameras in that lobby?"
the 90s were a very different time, a better time, a safer time.
Also, the price of security camera systems has drastically decreased over the years. Cameras are everywhere now because each one doesn't cost $1,000 or more any longer.
Right. The 90s were probably peak America
US murder rate in 1991: 9.8 per 100K. Murder rate in 2024: 7.5 per 100K. Lots of crime misconceptions out there. Like add up the population and murders in the 7 least populous whole states you get 8.1M people and 356 homicides, while NYC the most densely populated city in America has 8.3M people and 386 homicides.
Crime was much higher in the 90's. 1991 had the highest violent crime rate ever recorded in the U.S. That said, I do miss a lot of things about that era, though.
@@Wowzersdude-k5c no it wasn't, crime started peaking in the 00s, it was on an upwards rise in the 90s but the only way to have known about it and therefore already have security cameras in lobbies in the 90s would be to travel back in time and tell people "yeah it's gonna get bad"
Shame Reese didn't tell people that in T1 eh?
The answer to most of the questions from the original, just a brilliant follow up
The steel factory was an abandoned mill in Fontana California. It was also the filming location for the opening scene of the war. The special effects in Sarah's dream scene was done by Adam Jones, the guitarist of the band TOOL.
T2 is easily one of the best sequels ever produced.
The T-1000 is made of memeticpolyalloy, that's essential trillions of nanomachines.
By default, they exist in a liquid state that can change density, hardness, and shapes based on whatever is preprogrammed and whatever the terminator gains information on through physical contact.
Ok, but WHERE is the control centre, the main CHIP. Where the T-1000 program is running?
This has been my favorite movie of all time ever since I was a little boy (Thanks for letting me watch this, Mom. Whoops).

Great video! I lived near where they shot the skynet shootout at the end. They warned everyone on the news that there would be explosions and gunfire, and it was summertime so my parents let my sister and I stay up to hear them. It was super exciting as a kid because we knew this would be in the new Terminator movie!
‘He looks like Metal Mario!’
Amazing sequel. The performances by everyone were incredible. A fantastic mix of awesome practical effects and new CGI. It was mind-blowing in 1991 and still looks very good in 2024. Miles Bennett Dyson was actually a good man simply thinking he was designing a cutting edge computer, and gave his life tragically to save humanity.
He's was such a good man that he even gave the men that shot him warning/time to get out before the explosion. Holding on aslong as he could.

The T-1000 came naked because it can only "morph" into what it touches and needed in-put after it arrived.
Though, that is a plot hole never explained. In T1 we were told no exposed machinery could go through the time travel. So Arnie had to be a naked skin bag. The T-1000 is all metal. I guess skynet could have poured him into a skin cacoon and sent him?
@@chrisgorman1652 Arnie terminator is also surrounded by vat-grown human flesh, so it's not so much a stretch that the T1000 started out with a layer of skin on top
The new Terminator (the liquid metal version) was actually comprised of nano-technology. The 'metallic looking liquid' was actually comprised of trillions of microscopic nano-particles working together.
Ange is back! Just like Arnold. :D
With the difference that she won't crash into us with a car. I think.
"I need a vacation" was an ad lib from Arnold. It got a huge laugh from the crew and later the test audiences, so the line stayed in regardless of whether or not it was believable for the T-800 to have spoken.
And that is how you do a female lead :D first time reaction "look at her" "she is amazing" "I want arms like that " :D good writing and good acting
I too was curious and confused of the T-1000's structure and composition (besides mercury). Apparently what I extracted from the novel and fan theories is that his design comes from nanotechnology where each particle has it's own individual circuit and power source and therefore is able to change states, create propulsion and move. Pretty neat concept and apparently they are actually experimenting with this science irl oh-oh
Please give the Star Trek franchise a chance.
Hi Angelina,
I just wanted to reach out and let you know how much your channel means to me, especially your reaction to Terminator 2: Judgment Day. It’s my absolute favorite movie in the Terminator series, and seeing it through your eyes has honestly made my day. You bring such an amazing energy and fresh perspective that I can’t help but watch over and over-it’s honestly brilliant!
I recently came out of the hospital after a life-changing and life-threatening situation, and it’s been a tough journey. But watching your reactions has been such a source of comfort and joy during this time. Knowing I can rely on your content to lift my spirits and bring a smile to my face has meant the world to me. So please, keep doing what you’re doing because you have a forever supporter right here!
Thank you so much for everything. Your reactions are a bright spot that I truly look forward to. Can’t wait to see what you react to next!
All the best,
Reacher
I'm thinking probably nanobots that are so microscopic that they can shape-shifting into anything like Ironman used for his new suits.
One big difference between the two films is that Schwarzenegger starred in nine movies in between them, including Commando, Predator, The Running Man, Twins, Total Recall, and Kindergarten Cop. He more or less learned how to act along the way.
Do yourself a favor and stop here with the Terminator movies. The rest are shameless cash-grabs that do nothing but tarnish the greatness of the first two movies.
I woudnt stop here . Definitely after t3. Film didn’t flop when it came out and was definitely watchable compared to the rest after t3 . May not be close as good as the first 2 big was still solid. Arnold’s peak as the terminator was the third movie
@@CHRISTALGIA T3 should never have happened. It invalidated the sacrifices of all the characters in T2. Sarah went from waitress to huntress to stop the war. She gave 110% of herself for it. Miles died to stop it. The t100 died to stop it. John lost the only father figure he ever connected with to stop it. And because of greedy Hollywood executives they said "to hell with all their sacrifices, the war is happening anyway because money money money." They did the same thing to the Aliens and Predator franchises.
@@Galbergoth nawh t3 should have happened just with James Cameron telling a story that’s not copy pasted . T3 is its own thing and isn’t James’s work wich is all that matters . Alone t3 was as decent movie , definitely not a masterpiece . There’s already been tons of talk foff tf so long about James making a t3 to his first two terminator movies. Stop looking at t3 as a disgrace towards the first two movies in that mindset . Watching all the other terminator movies after t3 were bad and weren’t a vibe like t3 was to the first two and made t3 loom even more like a better movie then what people first thought seing it before hand . The female in t3 was definitely interesting just not with a great story behind it as of course Arnold as a terminator is always the most interesting to get people even first intresting in even watching to begin with. We know how the story went between t1 and t2 , there’s no need for you to explain anything as if James made a t3 than your comment on saying a t3 shouldn’t have happened wouldn’t matter as everything James comes out with turns to gold and there’s always a reason for more storytelling begins his magic once there’s a great story put in place for it
My friends and I saw it in theatres on opening night. Take note of the difference between "films" of today and the exemplary work James Cameron (and cast & crew) created in the 80's and 90's. And btw, yes, Michael Biehn REALLY helped to set the tone for just how incredible this series was. He deserves way, way, WAAAYYY more credit than he really ever received from Hollywon't, but at least Cameron always had a role for him (The Abyss, Aliens, etc.).
13:41 I ran into my shell 😂 I just discovered your channel today, and giving you a subscribe. I am saying good morning to you from my home of NYC
Welcome!!
@@ANGELINAA thank you! My name is Terrell. Ithought I had introduced myself in the post, but I see I forgot to post my name. You're awesome Angelina! I hope to nerd out and geek out with you one day 💚
It is the first movie I have seen in theater, will be always in my ❤, such a good exp for a first time
All right. Here's my theory: The reason for the T-1000 travelling through the time displacement field emulating a naked human man was probably two-folded:
1 - It needed to fake having an organic shell for the time displacement tech to work. Clothes or any inorganic material doesn't get through by itself. Alternatively, the creature could have been temporarily "wrapped" in actual living tissue that burned away during the procedure.
2 - It hadn't sampled any 90's clothes yet. 😁 Anything the T-1000 emulated as clothes, it had to be in physical contact with first.
MY personal rating for the whole movie franchise:
T1- 10/10
T2- 11/10
T3- 6/10
T4- 3/10
T5- 2/10
T6- 4/10
@11:07 - This was really clever Ange, nice touch lol, people should do more of this.
A lot of people don't realise that the original Terminator (and a lot more classic 80 films like Alien) were actually low budget movies. On the first Terminator they were actually doing guerrilla style filming in alleyways because they couldn't afford permits. So thats why the sequels to these films really feel like such a step up, advances in technology helped but the vast majority of the improvements was just down to blockbuster budgets
Its a real shame we don't get more ambitious low budget movies where studios can take a chance on a new IP without spending $200m. A24 seem to be the only ones really focusing on it
2:24 that future war escene have been ageing like fine wine, with every remaster this movie gets, HD , 4K... , the balance between the practical and the digital effects is amazing , and the cherry on the top are the SFX.
In 2003, the American Film Institute ran a TV program in which it detailed its choices for the 50 greatest heroes and 50 greatest villains in the history of the movies, and Arnold Schwarzenegger's characters from both Terminator movies made the list; he also hosted the program.
Another note is in the bike chase, when the T-800 passes the truck. You can see the stunt double on the bike right before he grabs John. They fixed that in the later releases.
Crazy how the first terminator was literal nightmare fuel & by the end of this, our tears are for the same robot that now knows why we cry ❤
