Regarding your question about why John Connor didn’t send a more advanced Terminator back to save him: because they didn’t have a more advanced Terminator. It’s believable that they might be able to capture, disable and then reprogram a T-800, but how could they ever capture and control a T-1000 long enough to reprogram it? You guys do understand that all the Terminators are built by the machines to kill humans, they’re not built by humans, right?
my girlfriend her name is sarah hahahahahahaha and she plays conor verry and verry well! yes she is have moroccian and have belgium. she lives in a city named antwerpe... and we watched this movie time and time again the normal (i call it the tv version) and the special ultimate edition. and my gf had a nightmare and like hamelton she screams the same way. luckaly i was beside her... sometimes we play all the scenes with her friends and mine. and i tell ya, its awesome. yes, this is the tv version.
Miles Dyson wasn’t a malicious person who wanted to destroy the world, he was just an enthusiastic scientist. Once he was told just how dangerous his project will be for humanity he was completely willing to help destroy it.
Yea, the extended version of the movie expands a little more on it. His heart is definitely in the right place in terms of what he wanted this AI to be. One can't help but draw similarities to what is going on today :S
So much trivia for such an iconic film. Arnold and Robert Patrick (liquid metal terminator) practiced all scenes, including fighting and running, to make it look like they weren't breathing, like machines. Robert Patrick was so fast he kept catching up to the motorcycle at the mall so he had to slow down on reshoots. Jeannette Goldstein (Vasquez from Aliens) is John's foster mom. The creepy guard in the asylum was such a nice guy he had trouble licking Linda Hamilton's face, but agreed as long as he got beat really badly later on. So much more. But, I personally think what really works here is the best possible blend of practical effects with CGI. Loved the reaction from you both.
Two sets of twins in teh movie. Teh hospital guard is killed by his twin. They were both in Good Morning Vietnam. Linda Hamilton's twin played the playground Sara.
Glad you enjoyed this legendary classic. Terminator 2 cost $100 million, the most expensive film ever made at the time. It made $520.9 million, so it was a huge success. This film revolutionised computer generated effects used in films. The T1000, was the first main digital character, (when not the actor) the first early motion capture character, (so all the movements when he was digital were based off the actor) and the first digital character to speak.(helicopter scene) The actor who played the T1000 is Robert Patrick. Hes been in many movies such as Die Hard 2, Walk the Line, The Faculty, Bridge to Terabithia, and Identity Thief. On tv hes been in X Files, Sopranos, NCIS, Peacemaker, 1923, and most recently Reacher.
don't underestimate a director's contribution to utilizing effects well. cameron has an unbelievable gift for that. avatar wasn't popular because of its plot.
😂😂😂😂 she believed it too 😂😂. Funny thing is, when I was a kid and saw the movie a couple times, because he can change, I thought how funny would it be if he rolled out as the tire and then changed back and attacked! Lol. So it popped back into my head and I had to mess with Abby for a bit 😂😂😂❤❤❤
Hearing Sarah’s narration say “August 29th, 1997”, and then hearing any actual living, apparently adult person then say “before I was born” is absolutely unfathomable to me 😅🫣 I may be young in appearance and heart, but that makes me feel ancient AF lol, even though I’m still really young!🙂
And yet hearing her say of Schwarzenegger "I see why I elected him governor". Must say alot if people are allowed to vote in state elections that young 😂
I know, right? I was about her age when I saw this movie for the first 5 times in a theater when it came out, drinking a big cup of soda mixed with bourbon that I had snuck in. LOL
Abbyyyy!! OMG. Way to go, girllll! I have seen many reactors watch this movie. And you are the FIRST person to ever notice the 3rd hand Terminator flying the chopper in the final chase scene! I'm soo proud of you!!
25:19 exactly 💯 it's a throwback to an earlier scene to where he says "The more contact I have with Humans, the more I learn" so He is beginning to learn human emotions
The thing about vehicle destruction in movies.... They are ALWAYS late model cars. Take Speed for example, every car that got destroyed was AT LEAST 10 years old.
Awesome reactions Toy and Abby. Fun fact - they had to do more than one take for the scene where the T-1000 runs after John Connor getting away on his dirt bike, because Robert Patrick managed to catch up to the bike. Toy's joke at 13:05 and Abby's reaction to it were priceless.
I love that he held himself up to see john more at the end. You can clearly see he lifted himself up when the lava hit. He lifted up to see more of john, the most desperate attempt for a robot to take
Thank whoever edited this for leaving in the scene in which Silberman drops the hypo cover out of his mouth because he was so shocked when the terminator walked right through the bars. :)
1. Linda Hamilton must have been getting "Ah-nold time" to get ripped like that 😍🥰 2. My guess is that stove is hot🧐 3. We have limited AI now, so does China.😱😱 4. Arnold did many of his own stunts in this movie, including riding the motorcycle. At one point he was injured, and they had to stop production for a couple of weeks so he could recover. 5. Arnold is not left-handed, but the way he works that shotgun is impressive😱 6. GOOF: Enrique's dogs don't respond to "Uncle Bob" as a Terminator. 7. "I need a vacation" was ad lib. 8. This is the action movie GOAT.
No need to apologize for watching the theatrical version. This version, has the most appropriate ending. Love your reaction ladies! P.S. The wink at the camera, when your friend thought the advanced terminator was the good guy is priceless!😉🤣
I perfer the directors cut, they just have a bunch of cool stuff showing the T1000 glitching out after the liquid nitrogen, the scene where Arnold's head is cut open, and the ending pays off the nightmares at the playground
Agreed. I prefer this ending to the extended version. With there being multiple movies after, it didn’t really make sense. There was also a short lived TV series called “The Sarah Connor Chronicles” which takes place between this movie and T-3
Technically the theatrical version is the directors cut. James has said in many interviews that the theatrical cut is his intended vision for a final release of the film. So the extended version adds more scenes and information, but James felt it wasn't necessary for the story overall.
@@ingibingi2000 I agree that the directors cut (or shold we call it extended version?) has a bunch of cool stuff in it. However, as a movie, I prefer the theatrical version. Most of the cut scenes were cut for a reason, and I prefer the (almost ) non-glitching T1000 in the end. I *do* like the scene where Sarah and John resets the switch on the Terminator. If they had kept that, that would probably be my ultimate version of the movie.
Fun Fact: James Cameron was listening to the song "wild thing" by Tone Loc and was inspired to use that line at the end of the song..."hasta la vista baby". He didn't know it would be so iconic.
It might have already been said, but the reason they didn't send another T-1000 to protect John was this one was a prototype, as Arnold mentioned to John on their way to call his foster-parents. There weren't any others to send...
also you can't really reprogram a T-1000... since every single 'cell' of it's form is an individual CPU so to speak, all hard-coded to know what to do to combine and essentially together they make up a hivemind of sorts... or a whole CPU, if you will.
@@borisnot sure it is.... what a dumb argument... wet water is also redundant, but with your logic it would be "no it's not, it can freeze, it can be a gas" blah blah blah that would sound dumb too
Terminator 2 is my top three sci-fi film of all time. The other two are Independence Day (my favorite movie of all time) and Star Trek II : Wrath of Khan
32:06 the M134 Minigun is a scaled-down 'miniaturized' (hence the name) version of the M61 Vulcan used in fighter jets. Because the M134 is electrically-operated & weighs up to 85 pounds (40kg), its usage as an individual weapon is a movie myth (they're usually mounted in the doors of Blackhawk helicopters, & sometimes mounted on top of Humvees). In this case (& the case of Predator), the gun was modified for single-carry, but in order to power the weapon, an electrical cable is run up the pant leg of the operator while being filmed
They also slowed it down to a quarter speed because at full speed, the barrels are an unfilmable blur. Also, at full speed the ammunition would be used up in a few seconds. The fire rate on the minigun is insane.
Fun fact: The opening scene with the terminator coming out the fire was what the director James Cameron saw in his dream and that gave him the idea of the Terminator film.
Robert Patrick shouldve had an Oscar for this performance. Jesus Christ he is fakking spectacular. Ive watched this movie probably 30 times in my life and Im still absolutely in awe.
It’s good that you watched the theatrical edition. That’s the one I think everyone should watch for their first time before you go into special editions and directors editions.
If John was smart, he'd have told Kyle to Tell Sarah, to tell the police that all she knows is that a big dude was chasing her, and she lost him in that factory and has no idea what happened to him. He could have at least said, "Whatever you do, don't talk about robots!"
This movie made _such_ good use of twins, to be honest. Not only was the Sherriff's deputy killed by the T1000 played by Don and/or Dan Stanton (who were used for a cloning joke in Gremlins 2 IIRC) with the T1000 version obviously played by the other, but Linda Hamilton's twin sister Leslie was in this cut of the movie as the T1000 Sarah and also in a deleted scene restored in the director's cut where a practical effect simulating a mirror was made a _lot_ easier by Leslie's existence.
4:56 Toy’s reaction is not only priceless, but also a perfect reaction to a belief/guess about who is good and bad that we were all likely hoping Abby had and wasn’t spoiled somehow 🤗😎
@@thomashiggins9320Predator kind of cheesed it though, it showed Jesse carrying it and its backpack of ammo... the camera never showed the 2 big car batteries on the ground nearby that were used to power it during those scenes. Thats why there it is impossible for a soldier to carry one into battle, its not just the incredibly hefty gun or thousands of rounds of ammo you need to carry, but a power supply to drive its motor, and that just aint man-portable.
@extremepredudice Thank God, honestly. Seeing what real life high powered cannons on aircraft can do in the span of a second is terrifying. The thought of someone being able to lug around anything equivalent to that level of meat grinder is a scary thought.
@@jennifervalentine8955 False. The one in the movie is the M134 'Minigun' chambered in 7.62mm NATO which is commonly mounted on helicopters, the one Arnie is carrying has had its rate of fire turned down and is powered by a pair of car batteries on the ground out of frame to give the illusion it is man-portable. That model of minigun was not mounted to fighter jets, that was a larger version chambered in 20mm, the M61 'Vulcan' cannon. The Vulcan was *only* a plane armament, it is too heavy and the recoil forces too strong for it to be fired from a helicopter. The smaller minigun was never designed to be a man-portable weapon and was solely mounted to vehicles such as helicopters and occasionally humvees. There are no electrically driven rotary guns carried by infantry in real life, even the smallest version, the aforementioned M134 still needs to be mounted onto a vehicle with a power supply and ammunition feed.
Linda suffered permanent hearing damage in the elevator scene. She forgot to put her earplugs in. This film was my inspiration to work in the film industry. Love this film
“That’s so cool. I wonder how they did that.” They pooled some metal with a low melting point-probably gallium or mercury-on a surface, cast a red light on it, and moved it around. Probably one of the coolest low-cost practical effects there is.
I did that once when I was a kid when a thermometer broke and the mercury was little balls on the bathroom floor. Then when I got older I found out that mercury is super toxic.
@@TenTonNuke same haha we had a thermometer in our kitchen so i wanted to see how fast the liquid would move, so i put it in boiing water, & was going to stick it in the freezer so I pulled it out of the water & it exploded in my hand
@@BouillaBased They did both apparently & in spite of care they took guy filming the pooling Mercury still got Mercury poisoning & a brief hospital stay.
Imho, the theatrical edition is usually the best version for a first watch because it is paced for a first time viewer. Subsequent watches can enjoy the extra info in a directors/extended cut. And this movie exactly conforms to that theory
The theatrical is also better because we see NO weakness in the T-1000 which makes him most sinister...like nothing could kill him. Smart move on Cameron's part.
What's funny is that with the sudden advancement of A.I. in real life, it was discovered that A.I. learned to lie in a matter of minutes to achieve a goal that was set for it by certain programmers. There have also been incidents where even NASA and Google had to shut down their A.I. because they were exhibiting strange, unusual, and unexpected behaviours. Maybe A.I. shouldn't be messed with for a while until we can make sure that it won't suddenly become "self-aware" and decide that we, humans, are a problem that needs to be corrected or deleted as a solution.
Great show ladies! ❤❤❤❤❤ Watching Toy's thrill of seeing Abby's reactions is the same kind of thrill I get when I see first-time reactions from all of you. I truly love RunToTheMovies! 💗
My friends and I saw this the first weekend. Out of the 6 of us, nobody was able to sit together, the theater was packed for every showing. We of course tried again the next week. I give props to Abby being the first reactor that spotted the extra arm created to fly, shoot, and reload at the same time. 39:17 .... Ooooh wooohuuuttt?!?!?!?! That sums up how we felt back then! That scene is what I always look forward to!!
"I love her so much!" Me too Toy 😍 Sarah's transformation between movies is a masterclass in storytelling. She's so badass and ripped that you know she's been through a lot in 12 years.
The M134 Mini gun is nearly impossible for one man to shoot at all. No one on earth can control one as it is depicted here on film. They are typically mounted on vehicles.
Miles Dyson is the unsung hero of this movie. I always appreciated how when he realized the impact his work would have, he was willing to throw it away to save the world.
Mini-gun. "That exists in real life?" Kind of, it's typically mounted under helicopters. But action stars love to use it as a hand held weapon. Because... Well, it looks really cool. Jessie Ventura (another Governor) used one in Predators. (Also with Arnold)
I'm almost 40 years old, have these movies on DVD and seen them thousands of time but it wasn't until I started watching these reaction videos that I noticed the T-1000 gave himself an extra hand while flying the helicopter
Once again ladies, I truly thank you sovery, very much for playing "Terminator 2". I really, really enjoyed it so much. There is also a "Terminator 3" (Rise of the Machines). Have a Blessed Evening. Adios
Terminator 2 is to action, what Airplane is to comedy: The greatest there is, there was and there ever will be. Here are 2 pieces of trivia that make this masterpiece even better: At 11:34 none of the camera crew wanted to film the scene, because they were too afraid of the falling debris. So James Cameron grabbed the camera and took the shot himself. At 35:36 they actually flew a real helicopters over and under bridges and passages and into the rear end of a truck. No CGI, no wires, no models. (Just remember that, should you decide to keep watching the franchise and get to Part 5).
The first part isnt true. Its actually the second part with the helicopter going under the bridge, the crew refused to film. The truck going into the drain stunt, required no crew in there to film it. Stationary cameras where placed in the drain to film different angles of the truck.
@@warrengdayNo the pilot is one of the greatest in the business, Chuck Tamburro. He would have no problem doing it because of his vast experience as a pilot. Hes actually in the film. Hes the pilot of the helicopter. It was actually the film crew that wouldn't film it, so Cameron filmed it himself.
Terminator 2: Judgement Day is considered one of the greatest action, sci-fi, sequel films ever made. At the time it was the most expensive film ever made with a budget of $94-102 million, and it went on to become the highest grossing film of 1991, making $520.9 million at the box office. It even won four Academy Awards in 1992. Terminator 2 was truly revolutionary in terms of the technology at the time as it featured the first use of a computer-generated main character in a blockbuster film. Everything about this film from the directing, acting, music, story telling, stunts, and special effects are exceptional. As far as I’m concerned, this is where the Terminator story ends, as the following sequels failed to capture what made the first two so special. I much prefer the theatrical cut of Terminator 2 that you both watched. There are extended versions of this film that feature a few extra scenes cut from the theatrical version. One of which features Michael Biehn reprising his role as Kyle Reese in a dream sequence visiting Sarah Conner at the hospital. Another one showing Miles Dyson at home working on developing the microprocessor computer while interacting with his family. That scene shows that Dyson is really a loving family man who genuinely believes that the technology he is working on will help humanity, not destroy it. He is not an “Evil Mastermind.” He not only saved humanity, he ends up sacrificing himself by giving Sarah, John, the Terminator, and even the SWAT team time to get away before blowing up the lab. (34:40) Remember the first film Abby. The Terminator got shot countless time, got in several car crashes, run over by a truck, blown up, set on fire, and still kept coming. The guns those cops are shooting might as well be spit-wads. As for the T-1000 (Robert Patrick), it’s described as an advanced prototype, which means it’s a newer and more advanced Terminator model created by Skynet. Making him deadlier and harder to kill compared to the T-800 (Arnold Schwarzenegger). You could stop the T-1000 by freezing it, but the only way to kill it is by melting it until there’s nothing left. Believe it or not, James Cameron originally envisioned Billy Idol playing the T-1000, which is why the original concept designs resembled him. Idol was unable to accept the role because he had recently got into a serious motorcycle accident. Robert Patrick was cast instead, and his performance is iconic. He learned how to fire a gun without flinching, and run without heavy breathing or signs of exhaustion. Thank you Toy and Abby! You ladies are so awesome, and I can’t wait for your next videos!
I was 20 years old when T2 came out and saw it when it came out in theaters more than once. It was groundbreaking in so many ways and surpassed the original in every way. Prior to filming, Linda Hamilton went through three months of intense physical training with a former Israeli Special Forces commando. She was able to take apart a gun and put it back together blindfolded. Robert Patrick, the actor who played the T-1000, went through the same intense training. Here is some trivia: The guy in the shopping mall who had the camera was William Wisher, who co-wrote the screenplays of the original Terminator and T2 with James Cameron. He was also in the original Terminator as the cop whose police car was taken by the Terminator.
Linda Hamilton actually learned how to get out of her restraints like that and did it for real for the scene. And for the scene where the T-1000 chases John on his dirt bike by running after it, the actor Robert Patrick trained himself run without showing himself breathing and to shoot without flinching or blinking. He got so good at the running that he actually kept catching up to John on the dirtbike and tapping his shoulder.
I don't know if anyone else has already mentioned this, but one "fun fact" is that there were two sets of twins used in this movie. The guard who was copied at the mental hospital, and Sarah herself. When there were two of them in the same scene, the duplicate was a twin. Including Sarah's dream-self.
Great reaction to the final movie in the Terminator story ladies, and great job Toy not playing the spoiler for Abby! Loved that little wink at the camera early on, Toy. That was so cute and a great "you know what I know" moment for us! And, as always, great work to the editing crew with the facial zooms and the "Abby.exe not responding". So great and so accurate. 😀 Some (many) notes now: The man taking pictures while looking stunned in the mall is the same character (and actor) who was the police officer that Arnold took the police car from in his pursuit of Kyle and Sarah in the first movie. That's why he looks stunned: he knows who this guy is and he knows the damage and killing he was responsible for the last time he saw him. He's also the source of the current day photos the officers show Sarah in Pescadero. It's not mentioned or referred to in any editions, but it is an Easter Egg that a friend of mine showed me. Robert Patrick trained so hard for this role as the T-1000. Training to shoot without the reflexive blink. Learning to run full speed only breathing through his nose, and he was fast enough a sprinter that he actually caught the dirt bike in the mall parking garage. He was the perfect machine. He was so amazingly intimidating in this movie, as much as or even more so than Arnold, and that's saying something! When the orderly licks Sarah in the hospital, that was apparently one of the so-called catatonia tests done by unethical or sadistic orderlies according to an old friend of mine who had worked in a few psych hospitals, mainly in California, back in the late 70s and early 80s. It wasn't unusual for patients to try to get an advantage by pretending to be catatonic, hoping that the staff would think that they were out of it and not pay much attention so they could try to escape, create havoc, or whatever. Licking someone's face was a mild way of testing, according to my friend. The more standard way of testing among the more brutal orderlies was what was called a cup check, basically hitting the person in the crotch as hard as they could with a broomstick or something like that (the tonfa, shown in the movie, or a billyclub, wasn't standard when he was working in the field, so the evil jerks had to use other items like broomsticks of knees). If they didn't react then they were catatonic. And, sometimes, the catatonic patients needed to be taken to the hospital due to the damage inflicted by whatever the orderly did causing ruptures or internal damage. Apparently one patient lost his testicles as it was several days before it was realized how badly he had been hurt. And, of course, no one ever knew how it happened. “He musta fallen, or done it to himself to try to get out of here.” My friend never missed that job. He told me that some people did things worse than that, but those stories don't need repeating. There are two sets of twins in this movie. One set are the brothers who played the security guard at Pescadero and the T-1000 imitating him. The other set are Linda Hamilton and her twin sister Lesley who played the other Sarah in the sequences like the nightmare and the showdown at the end where there are two of her are in the same scene. Lesley, a nurse in real life, sadly passed away several years ago. Abby noticed it so kudos to her, and I love it when the Terminator begins copying John's mannerisms and his one sided half smirk smile as is best seen in the exchange after he hefts the minigun in Sarah's arms bunker and in the "Trust me." moment. I didn't realize that the first couple of times I watched the movie, and it added so much when I finally realized it. I remember learning that Cameron got a letter from a group of scientists congratulating him for the most realistic depiction of a nuclear detonation in a city in Sarah's nightmare. This horrified him since he was just trying to create the most over the top terrifying image he could, only to discover that it was accurate. Luckily, Sarah stepped back from Terminator mode before killing Dyson, which is good. Killing Dyson wouldn't have changed much of anything anyway. Cyberdyne still would have had the parts, all his notes, and everything they needed to complete the project. Judgment Day would have come, just on a different day other than Michael Jackson's (and my little sister's) birthday. The excellent Joe Morton, who played Dyson, had an accident that punctured one of his lungs when he was younger, so he knew firsthand how Dyson should be breathing/gasping at the end. And Dyson was the biggest damn hero in this movie. He went from completely clueless scientist/engineer to ready and willing to sacrifice his life in less than two hours. And he even gave the men who shot him a chance to escape before the bomb blew. No bigger damn hero in this movie of heroes. Side Note: The Dyson corporation was founded the same year this movie came out, which means it didn't exist when the movie was being made. Coincidence or foreshadowing, you can decide. 😛 The extended edition had two advantages over the standard edition. Though it wasn't obvious in its performance, the continuous damage the T-1000 was taking from every shot that hit it and every impact was affecting it. It is most obvious at the scene in the smelting plant after being shattered when, as shown in the theater release, its feet tended to take on the aspect of the flooring as it walked and, in the extended edition, when it grabbed a railing its hand mimicked the paint job on the railing. Also, in the extended edition, at the final scene when Sarah is calling out for John, he looks down and sees that the fake Sarah's feet look like the ironwork that the T-1000 is standing on and he knows for sure which to trust. The extended edition variant ending is also superior (to me) for one more reason: it ends with older Sarah sitting on a playground bench and watching her adult son playing with her granddaughter, meaning that this Terminator movie is absolutely the end of the franchise, and all the movies that steal the name of the series after this are just lame cash grabs and can and should be avoided like the plague, in my opinion. Also, future John had no choice but to send back an older style of Terminator, as those were the ones they were familiar with, and the ones they had likely disassembled and learned how to reprogram after 'killing' them. Since the T-1000 was a prototype not released to the front lines yet, future John only knew one existed after Younger John saw it. Which leads to another of those insane mindloops as one tries to figure out the flow of time from this point. 😛 Future John did do what he could to help Sarah trust the old style Terminator. His first words to her were the exact same as Kyle's first words to her in the first movie, "Come with me if you want to live.", and you saw her react to that. Subtle, but there, and cool to have such subtleties in the movie. The budget for this movie was around $100 million while the earlier one only had a budget of around $6 1/2 million. So they could afford MUCH better FX and random acts of mass destruction. Like blowing up the floor of a building. 😛 And flying an actual helicopter under an actual bridge in the middle of the night. 😲 The sequel to Alien, called Aliens, was better than the original in many people's opinion. In some ways it was for the same reason that the same was true for Terminator: the first movie did so much better than expected that they approved a much higher budget for the second. If Abby hasn't seen those movies yet -there's something seriously wrong with her- she should see them soon. Yes, I'm teasing with the marked out bit there, don't hate. 😀 Other movies where the second movie in the series was considered superior to the first movie: Star Trek The Wrath of Khan and Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back. But, yeah, usually sequels are not as good as the first movie. Though few are as gawdawful as the sequel to the Highlander movie. Ugh! If Abby watches the Alien/Aliens duo of movies (and like the Terminator series the first two movies tell the complete story and the other steal the name for the sake of taking people's cash in my opinion. They're nowhere as good), keep an eye out for the four actors that appear in one of the two Terminator movies and who are in the movie Aliens. Most of them have bigger roles in Aliens than they had in the Terminator movies, but without cheating I'm thinking she'll know two of them at best. 🙂
9:37 I just love how few people connect the Guns & Roses reference, as Arnold petitioned for Guns & Roses to be the primary song on the soundtrack. Apparently, Arnie is a HUGE Guns & Roses fan.
Great Movie! I used to do some acting and was in a few major films as a movie extra and had some speaking roles in a few independent films. So, I got to meet several major actors during my time doing this, and one of the people I got to meet was the boy in this movie Edward Furlong. I was a movie extra in another movie that he was in. I was standing right next to him on the set and got to talk to him. I also got his autograph. He was a very nice guy. You two had a good reaction to the movie. Abbie was funny, she was really losing it. lol I was loving the 80's metal music in the background that you had playing when you were about to start the movie.
They had to keep reshooting the mall escape scene because Robert Patrick kept catching up to the bike, despite teaching himself how to sprint without breathing, and shoot without blinking (except for once in the movie, which he was disappointed about.)
Screenwriter Will Wisher has a cameo. He's the man with the camera in the scene after T-800 gets thrown through the window. He was also in the first film as a cop who he gets his head bashed by the Terminator
The reason they didn't send one is the same reason skynet never put them into full scale production. They are impossible to reprogram or control once they are activated. Even skynet can't force them to do what it wants.
@@Cheepchipsable not really. It's in the comics and the Sarah Conner Chronicles. In fact some of the 1000 models (the 1001 model) actually rebel against skynet in the Sarah Conner Chronicles.
This has probably already been said in the comments but John didn't send back the "more advanced model" because he didn't have access to one. Skynet sent a prototype, which was presumably the only one in existence at the time.
@32:05 Those types of guns are mounted on fighter planes, ships and for air defense on mobile units. Some of these can fire up to 6000 rounds per minute.
Abby was asking about if there are any other movies where the sequel is better than the first one, and there are several. Probably the top three most people know of are Terminator 2, Empire Strikes Back, and Aliens. Next tier might be Road Warrior, a sequel to Mad Max and Desperado, a sequel to El Mariachi.
It's funny--Evil Dead 2 is just redone Evil Dead 1 with a few dollars more budget. And then Army of Darkness is a balls to the wall crazy pants romp of funtimes.
@@whoarocket You could argue the same for the Mariachi trilogy. El Mariachi is very low budget, Desperado reuses most of the plot of EM but with a budget and more action, and Once Upon A Time In Mexico is pretty insane.
The woman that plays John’s stepmom is also in James Cameron movie Aliens. The security guard at the mental hospital where he gets the coffee, his twin brother is the other guy then kills his brother. Those 2 were in some movies in the 80s and 90s together. Linda Hamilton twin sister is also in the dream sequence. I also love Robert Patrick cameo in Wayne’s World movie making a joke of being the T-1000.
Thanks for the great reactions. It was a genius move to switch Arnold from the villain to the hero. And this movie taught a whole generation of kids some real life rules. - It's ok to steal from The Man. - Never narc out your friends - it's ok to shoot someone in the leg if you're saving your mom. - And must importantly, Never Never Never lick someone who's drugged or in a coma. That's just wrong.
Editor's note: same here. What's more, this is the second reaction to this movie that I have edited, and yet I've never noticed the extra hand until Abby pointed it out.
The scene with the pieces melting was made with mercury that is liquid at room temperature and magnetic. Then they moved magnets under the "floor" to make the drops join up.
"The theatrical version is MUCH better than the director's cut" and that from James Cameron, the writer and director. And he's right, you picked the right one.
Technically it's not a Director's Cut hence why Cameron only restored the Theatrical release. He said the version he wanted to release was the one shown in theatres. The extended cut was a studio request due to fans complaining that scenes in the trailers were not in the film. I personally prefer the theatrical cut as I think the other cuts slow the pacing of the film.
Producer's note: When we recorded Hannah and Tori's reaction to this movie, the comment section was awash with outrage about how we dared to watch the theatrical edition and not the extended one.
31:55 a lot of people are confused why it’s called a mini-gun, but it’s because they are miniaturized versions of the Gatling guns that get mounted to attack helicopters and fighter jets. The full sized versions fire bullets that are huge by comparison, the shells that come from them could be used as a water bottle. Mini-guns are real and are usually mounted to vehicles, they aren’t really meant to be hand held, but a Terminator can manage it. Most of the time you hear the sound of them in movies, it’s actually not the noise they make. They fire so rapidly that it’s hard to actually hear the individual shots so it’s more like a loud hum than what a movie going audience associates with gunfire, so the sound effect is actually pretty slowed down here. Still cool as hell though.
You mentioned that you're watching the theatrical version of it, and this is one of the few movies where I think I prefer the shorter theatrical one. I've seen the full one, and I don't really like most of the extra things they added in, and I really don't like the extended ending. There is just one single scene that I really love that I wish they would have included from the extended, and it's the one where they take Arnold's chip out, and Sarah is about to destroy it because she still doesn't trust it, but John convinces her not to because they still need it's help, and he says that if he's supposed to become a great leader, maybe she should start trusting some of his ideas.
There is a version that includes that scene and does not have the additional ending scene, although I don't know what it's referred to as. All I know is I have it on my computer, lol.

Our producer says that this is the best movie ever. Do you agree?
The Plasma bursts are probably more advanced versions of Rail Guns that currently exist although in primitive limited use form.
Regarding your question about why John Connor didn’t send a more advanced Terminator back to save him: because they didn’t have a more advanced Terminator. It’s believable that they might be able to capture, disable and then reprogram a T-800, but how could they ever capture and control a T-1000 long enough to reprogram it? You guys do understand that all the Terminators are built by the machines to kill humans, they’re not built by humans, right?
my girlfriend her name is sarah hahahahahahaha
and she plays conor verry and verry well! yes she is have moroccian and have belgium.
she lives in a city named antwerpe... and we watched this movie time and time again the normal (i call it the tv version) and the special ultimate edition.
and my gf had a nightmare and like hamelton she screams the same way. luckaly i was beside her...
sometimes we play all the scenes with her friends and mine. and i tell ya, its awesome.
yes, this is the tv version.
One of the best movies for real, glad you enjoyed it, TRUELY a Legendary Film the likes of which none of the films after could ever match up to.
just a suggestion, react to the movie Signs
80s and 90s was the best time to be young...🎉🎉🎉.
Miles Dyson wasn’t a malicious person who wanted to destroy the world, he was just an enthusiastic scientist. Once he was told just how dangerous his project will be for humanity he was completely willing to help destroy it.
Yea, the extended version of the movie expands a little more on it. His heart is definitely in the right place in terms of what he wanted this AI to be. One can't help but draw similarities to what is going on today :S
The most unrealistic part of this movie is the idea of a tech billionaire who isn't a narcissistic psychopath.
@@adamlove3295 lol
@@adamlove3295okay 🤡
And the actor’s performance is phenomenal
So much trivia for such an iconic film. Arnold and Robert Patrick (liquid metal terminator) practiced all scenes, including fighting and running, to make it look like they weren't breathing, like machines. Robert Patrick was so fast he kept catching up to the motorcycle at the mall so he had to slow down on reshoots. Jeannette Goldstein (Vasquez from Aliens) is John's foster mom. The creepy guard in the asylum was such a nice guy he had trouble licking Linda Hamilton's face, but agreed as long as he got beat really badly later on. So much more. But, I personally think what really works here is the best possible blend of practical effects with CGI. Loved the reaction from you both.
"He's a runner! He's a track star!"
Robert Patrick was an athlete prior to acting 👍
Two sets of twins in teh movie. Teh hospital guard is killed by his twin. They were both in Good Morning Vietnam. Linda Hamilton's twin played the playground Sara.
Glad you enjoyed this legendary classic. Terminator 2 cost $100 million, the most expensive film ever made at the time. It made $520.9 million, so it was a huge success. This film revolutionised computer generated effects used in films. The T1000, was the first main digital character, (when not the actor) the first early motion capture character, (so all the movements when he was digital were based off the actor) and the first digital character to speak.(helicopter scene) The actor who played the T1000 is Robert Patrick. Hes been in many movies such as Die Hard 2, Walk the Line, The Faculty, Bridge to Terabithia, and Identity Thief. On tv hes been in X Files, Sopranos, NCIS, Peacemaker, 1923, and most recently Reacher.
In Reacher, he denied knowing who Sarah Conner was . . .
@@calhig3794That was a great joke.
Though some of its revolutionary effects it can thank "The Abyss" (1989) for.
@@k1productions87 which was also made by Cameron
@@k1productions87 The Abyss can also thank its effects to Young Sherlock Holmes.
This movie pioneered visual effects. It won all the technical Oscars. Stan Winston was a genius and made so many great stories come alive.
don't underestimate a director's contribution to utilizing effects well. cameron has an unbelievable gift for that. avatar wasn't popular because of its plot.
What is the real message of this movie?
@ 19:55 "Come with me if you want to live" was also Kyle Reese's quote to her in the first Terminator !
"He turned into the tire!!!" That was really funny :]
😂😂😂😂 she believed it too 😂😂. Funny thing is, when I was a kid and saw the movie a couple times, because he can change, I thought how funny would it be if he rolled out as the tire and then changed back and attacked! Lol. So it popped back into my head and I had to mess with Abby for a bit 😂😂😂❤❤❤
As a 7 year old seeing this in theaters with my dad and I have seen this movie over 100+ times since
When the terminator learn to smile he mimics John’s smile perfectly.
Hearing Sarah’s narration say “August 29th, 1997”, and then hearing any actual living, apparently adult person then say “before I was born” is absolutely unfathomable to me 😅🫣 I may be young in appearance and heart, but that makes me feel ancient AF lol, even though I’m still really young!🙂
The one that really got me IRL was when I was training a coworker who was born after 9/11.
tell me about it!
I was born un 1984, the year when the first movie came out 😅
And yet hearing her say of Schwarzenegger "I see why I elected him governor". Must say alot if people are allowed to vote in state elections that young 😂
I know, right? I was about her age when I saw this movie for the first 5 times in a theater when it came out, drinking a big cup of soda mixed with bourbon that I had snuck in. LOL
This movie came out the summer before my junior year of high school. I definitely feel old when she said "I wasn't even born yet"
Abbyyyy!! OMG. Way to go, girllll!
I have seen many reactors watch this movie. And you are the FIRST person to ever notice the 3rd hand Terminator flying the chopper in the final chase scene!
I'm soo proud of you!!
The budget for this movie was 102 million dollars and it brought in 520.8 million dollars at the box office.
This is the best version. They got it right upon its release.
I disagree the ending, in the other version is better. Just my opinion.
Agree completely. It’s tight, it moves, it hits all the pertinent points.
The original ending is the best payoff to the plot, though some of the other cut scenes were good.
@@stevenwoodward5923
I'm the opposite. I like the extended scenes except the ending, I think the original is better.
Yes. Theatrical of Aliens and T2 are both superior to their longer versions..
Movies back then were built so much different. I miss the golden age of cinema
25:19 exactly 💯 it's a throwback to an earlier scene to where he says "The more contact I have with Humans, the more I learn" so He is beginning to learn human emotions
Did you know the Actor who played Hank in Breaking Bad was the SWAT team leader that yelled move back? 33:49
I never knew that
I thought I recognized Dean Norris's voice but wasn't sure, appreciate the confirm!
The thing about vehicle destruction in movies.... They are ALWAYS late model cars. Take Speed for example, every car that got destroyed was AT LEAST 10 years old.
Awesome reactions Toy and Abby. Fun fact - they had to do more than one take for the scene where the T-1000 runs after John Connor getting away on his dirt bike, because Robert Patrick managed to catch up to the bike. Toy's joke at 13:05 and Abby's reaction to it were priceless.
Producer's note: some of my favorite moments in all our videos are Toy's jokes.
I love that he held himself up to see john more at the end. You can clearly see he lifted himself up when the lava hit. He lifted up to see more of john, the most desperate attempt for a robot to take
@9:38 was James Carmeron's nod to Guns N Roses (who performed the title song You Could Be Mine)
Thank whoever edited this for leaving in the scene in which Silberman drops the hypo cover out of his mouth because he was so shocked when the terminator walked right through the bars. :)
to this day, this is still one of the best action movies ever made.
Yesss!!!!!❤️💯💯
1. Linda Hamilton must have been getting "Ah-nold time" to get ripped like that 😍🥰
2. My guess is that stove is hot🧐
3. We have limited AI now, so does China.😱😱
4. Arnold did many of his own stunts in this movie, including riding the motorcycle. At one point he was injured, and they had to stop production for a couple of weeks so he could recover.
5. Arnold is not left-handed, but the way he works that shotgun is impressive😱
6. GOOF: Enrique's dogs don't respond to "Uncle Bob" as a Terminator.
7. "I need a vacation" was ad lib.
8. This is the action movie GOAT.
Arnold could ride a motorbike WOW!
Losing weeks of production is the reason why the don't let actors do their own stunts.
Chinese AI is a joke!
No need to apologize for watching the theatrical version. This version, has the most appropriate ending. Love your reaction ladies! P.S. The wink at the camera, when your friend thought the advanced terminator was the good guy is priceless!😉🤣
I perfer the directors cut, they just have a bunch of cool stuff showing the T1000 glitching out after the liquid nitrogen, the scene where Arnold's head is cut open, and the ending pays off the nightmares at the playground
Agreed. I prefer this ending to the extended version. With there being multiple movies after, it didn’t really make sense. There was also a short lived TV series called “The Sarah Connor Chronicles” which takes place between this movie and T-3
The Sarah Connor Chronicles, was a good show.👍@@angelavalentino5146
Technically the theatrical version is the directors cut. James has said in many interviews that the theatrical cut is his intended vision for a final release of the film. So the extended version adds more scenes and information, but James felt it wasn't necessary for the story overall.
@@ingibingi2000 I agree that the directors cut (or shold we call it extended version?) has a bunch of cool stuff in it. However, as a movie, I prefer the theatrical version. Most of the cut scenes were cut for a reason, and I prefer the (almost ) non-glitching T1000 in the end. I *do* like the scene where Sarah and John resets the switch on the Terminator. If they had kept that, that would probably be my ultimate version of the movie.
The usage of the term "money shot" is ridiculously hilarious, considering what the origin of that phrase is.
Fun Fact: James Cameron was listening to the song "wild thing" by Tone Loc and was inspired to use that line at the end of the song..."hasta la vista baby". He didn't know it would be so iconic.
😮
It might have already been said, but the reason they didn't send another T-1000 to protect John was this one was a prototype, as Arnold mentioned to John on their way to call his foster-parents. There weren't any others to send...
Also how do you capture a T1000?
also you can't really reprogram a T-1000... since every single 'cell' of it's form is an individual CPU so to speak, all hard-coded to know what to do to combine and essentially together they make up a hivemind of sorts... or a whole CPU, if you will.
Q - "I wonder how they did that?"
A - liquid mercury and a hair dryer
Gallium actually, iirc. Mercury is a bit too unhealthy to fuck around with like that.
liquid mercury is kind of redundant
@@notimportant3686 LOL. Compliments of the department of redundancy department....
@@notimportant3686 no, it's not. Mercury, as all metals, has a freezing point, below which it's solid.
@@borisnot sure it is.... what a dumb argument... wet water is also redundant, but with your logic it would be "no it's not, it can freeze, it can be a gas" blah blah blah
that would sound dumb too
Terminator 2 is my top three sci-fi film of all time. The other two are Independence Day (my favorite movie of all time) and Star Trek II : Wrath of Khan
32:06 the M134 Minigun is a scaled-down 'miniaturized' (hence the name) version of the M61 Vulcan used in fighter jets. Because the M134 is electrically-operated & weighs up to 85 pounds (40kg), its usage as an individual weapon is a movie myth (they're usually mounted in the doors of Blackhawk helicopters, & sometimes mounted on top of Humvees). In this case (& the case of Predator), the gun was modified for single-carry, but in order to power the weapon, an electrical cable is run up the pant leg of the operator while being filmed
They also slowed it down to a quarter speed because at full speed, the barrels are an unfilmable blur. Also, at full speed the ammunition would be used up in a few seconds. The fire rate on the minigun is insane.
Fun fact: The opening scene with the terminator coming out the fire was what the director James Cameron saw in his dream and that gave him the idea of the Terminator film.
Robert Patrick shouldve had an Oscar for this performance.
Jesus Christ he is fakking spectacular.
Ive watched this movie probably 30 times in my life and Im still absolutely in awe.
It’s good that you watched the theatrical edition. That’s the one I think everyone should watch for their first time before you go into special editions and directors editions.
I've always felt like this was the best one by far. And they've been chasing that dragon every since
If John was smart, he'd have told Kyle to Tell Sarah, to tell the police that all she knows is that a big dude was chasing her, and she lost him in that factory and has no idea what happened to him. He could have at least said, "Whatever you do, don't talk about robots!"
This movie made _such_ good use of twins, to be honest. Not only was the Sherriff's deputy killed by the T1000 played by Don and/or Dan Stanton (who were used for a cloning joke in Gremlins 2 IIRC) with the T1000 version obviously played by the other, but Linda Hamilton's twin sister Leslie was in this cut of the movie as the T1000 Sarah and also in a deleted scene restored in the director's cut where a practical effect simulating a mirror was made a _lot_ easier by Leslie's existence.
4:56 Toy’s reaction is not only priceless, but also a perfect reaction to a belief/guess about who is good and bad that we were all likely hoping Abby had and wasn’t spoiled somehow 🤗😎
Yeah, that closeup and wink was the best, as I was hoping it hadn't been spoiled as well.
"That (the minigun) exists in real life?"
Yes, the U.S. Army mounted them to helicopters and used them to level villages during the Vietnam War.
There's only that one man-portable one, though.
It's the same one used in Predator.
@@thomashiggins9320Predator kind of cheesed it though, it showed Jesse carrying it and its backpack of ammo... the camera never showed the 2 big car batteries on the ground nearby that were used to power it during those scenes. Thats why there it is impossible for a soldier to carry one into battle, its not just the incredibly hefty gun or thousands of rounds of ammo you need to carry, but a power supply to drive its motor, and that just aint man-portable.
@extremepredudice Thank God, honestly. Seeing what real life high powered cannons on aircraft can do in the span of a second is terrifying. The thought of someone being able to lug around anything equivalent to that level of meat grinder is a scary thought.
False. The model in the m9vie is the mini version of ones attached to fighter jets and helicopters
@@jennifervalentine8955 False. The one in the movie is the M134 'Minigun' chambered in 7.62mm NATO which is commonly mounted on helicopters, the one Arnie is carrying has had its rate of fire turned down and is powered by a pair of car batteries on the ground out of frame to give the illusion it is man-portable. That model of minigun was not mounted to fighter jets, that was a larger version chambered in 20mm, the M61 'Vulcan' cannon. The Vulcan was *only* a plane armament, it is too heavy and the recoil forces too strong for it to be fired from a helicopter. The smaller minigun was never designed to be a man-portable weapon and was solely mounted to vehicles such as helicopters and occasionally humvees. There are no electrically driven rotary guns carried by infantry in real life, even the smallest version, the aforementioned M134 still needs to be mounted onto a vehicle with a power supply and ammunition feed.
Abby made this one of the best reactions to this film I've ever seen.
so happy you enjoyed as much as I did! :)
Linda suffered permanent hearing damage in the elevator scene. She forgot to put her earplugs in. This film was my inspiration to work in the film industry. Love this film
“That’s so cool. I wonder how they did that.”
They pooled some metal with a low melting point-probably gallium or mercury-on a surface, cast a red light on it, and moved it around. Probably one of the coolest low-cost practical effects there is.
I did that once when I was a kid when a thermometer broke and the mercury was little balls on the bathroom floor. Then when I got older I found out that mercury is super toxic.
@@TenTonNuke same haha
we had a thermometer in our kitchen
so i wanted to see how fast the liquid would move,
so i put it in boiing water,
& was going to stick it in the freezer
so I pulled it out of the water
& it exploded in my hand
they used mercury & a hair dryer to move it around
@@BouillaBased They did both apparently & in spite of care they took guy filming the pooling Mercury still got Mercury poisoning & a brief hospital stay.
I always found it funny that the largest gun in the movie is called a mini gun.
It's called a "mini gun" because it's a smaller version of the 20 mm Vulcan cannon used in military aircraft and the Navy's CIWS.
that gun was also used in Predator
Imho, the theatrical edition is usually the best version for a first watch because it is paced for a first time viewer. Subsequent watches can enjoy the extra info in a directors/extended cut. And this movie exactly conforms to that theory
The theatrical is also better because we see NO weakness in the T-1000 which makes him most sinister...like nothing could kill him. Smart move on Cameron's part.
You should really watch the Blues Brothers. It's essentially a musical and has the most destroyed cop cars of any movie.
What's funny is that with the sudden advancement of A.I. in real life, it was discovered that A.I. learned to lie in a matter of minutes to achieve a goal that was set for it by certain programmers. There have also been incidents where even NASA and Google had to shut down their A.I. because they were exhibiting strange, unusual, and unexpected behaviours. Maybe A.I. shouldn't be messed with for a while until we can make sure that it won't suddenly become "self-aware" and decide that we, humans, are a problem that needs to be corrected or deleted as a solution.
As long as humans have the power to delete AI, it will always consider us a threat. Frank Herbert was always right about AI 😅
@@LordVolkov The real reason that A.I. would consider us a threat and want to delete us is by reviewing all our destructive history.
Great show ladies! ❤❤❤❤❤
Watching Toy's thrill of seeing Abby's reactions is the same kind of thrill I get when I see first-time reactions from all of you. I truly love RunToTheMovies! 💗
My friends and I saw this the first weekend. Out of the 6 of us, nobody was able to sit together, the theater was packed for every showing. We of course tried again the next week.
I give props to Abby being the first reactor that spotted the extra arm created to fly, shoot, and reload at the same time.
39:17 .... Ooooh wooohuuuttt?!?!?!?! That sums up how we felt back then!
That scene is what I always look forward to!!
One of the GREATEST SEQUELS of ALL TIME…As a kid I remember the Hallway Scene Arnold Saying, “Get Down!” Audience went BALLISTIC!!
"I love her so much!"
Me too Toy 😍
Sarah's transformation between movies is a masterclass in storytelling. She's so badass and ripped that you know she's been through a lot in 12 years.
The M134 Mini gun is nearly impossible for one man to shoot at all. No one on earth can control one as it is depicted here on film. They are typically mounted on vehicles.
He's not a man.
Simply one of the best action movies ever made.
Miles Dyson is the unsung hero of this movie. I always appreciated how when he realized the impact his work would have, he was willing to throw it away to save the world.
Referring to the terminator as cute is so funny but I kinda get it 😂
Mini-gun. "That exists in real life?" Kind of, it's typically mounted under helicopters. But action stars love to use it as a hand held weapon. Because... Well, it looks really cool. Jessie Ventura (another Governor) used one in Predators. (Also with Arnold)
I'm almost 40 years old, have these movies on DVD and seen them thousands of time but it wasn't until I started watching these reaction videos that I noticed the T-1000 gave himself an extra hand while flying the helicopter
So good, i saw it twice in the theater. No way to compare to see it on the big screen, and the energy from the theater goers
"He turned into the tire"
"WHAT!!"
Hahahahahaha😂😂😂
Producer's note: Toy's jokes are some of my favorite things in our videos.
Once again ladies, I truly thank you sovery, very much for playing "Terminator 2". I really, really enjoyed it so much. There is also a "Terminator 3" (Rise of the Machines). Have a Blessed Evening. Adios
Thank YOU for watching with us! I'm so glad you enjoyed watching with us. I hope you have a great and wonderful weekend 😊😊😊❤
Terminator 2 is to action, what Airplane is to comedy:
The greatest there is, there was and there ever will be.
Here are 2 pieces of trivia that make this masterpiece even better:
At 11:34 none of the camera crew wanted to film the scene, because they were too afraid of the falling debris.
So James Cameron grabbed the camera and took the shot himself.
At 35:36 they actually flew a real helicopters over and under bridges and passages and into the rear end of a truck.
No CGI, no wires, no models.
(Just remember that, should you decide to keep watching the franchise and get to Part 5).
The first part isnt true. Its actually the second part with the helicopter going under the bridge, the crew refused to film. The truck going into the drain stunt, required no crew in there to film it. Stationary cameras where placed in the drain to film different angles of the truck.
@@peterlenham3180 I've read in several places the pilot didn't want to fly under the bridge, but Cameron persuaded him to.
@@warrengdayNo the pilot is one of the greatest in the business, Chuck Tamburro. He would have no problem doing it because of his vast experience as a pilot. Hes actually in the film. Hes the pilot of the helicopter. It was actually the film crew that wouldn't film it, so Cameron filmed it himself.
Airplane is garbage. I could barely finish that movie. The Naked Gun is funnier.
@@peterlenham3180 Are you stupid? The comment I replied to mentioned AIRPLANE, so I said airplane sucks, duh.
The gun Robert Patrick shoots in the mall is a regular semi-auto 9mm Beretta. He really could shoot this fast!
Terminator 2: Judgement Day is considered one of the greatest action, sci-fi, sequel films ever made. At the time it was the most expensive film ever made with a budget of $94-102 million, and it went on to become the highest grossing film of 1991, making $520.9 million at the box office. It even won four Academy Awards in 1992. Terminator 2 was truly revolutionary in terms of the technology at the time as it featured the first use of a computer-generated main character in a blockbuster film. Everything about this film from the directing, acting, music, story telling, stunts, and special effects are exceptional. As far as I’m concerned, this is where the Terminator story ends, as the following sequels failed to capture what made the first two so special.
I much prefer the theatrical cut of Terminator 2 that you both watched. There are extended versions of this film that feature a few extra scenes cut from the theatrical version. One of which features Michael Biehn reprising his role as Kyle Reese in a dream sequence visiting Sarah Conner at the hospital. Another one showing Miles Dyson at home working on developing the microprocessor computer while interacting with his family. That scene shows that Dyson is really a loving family man who genuinely believes that the technology he is working on will help humanity, not destroy it. He is not an “Evil Mastermind.” He not only saved humanity, he ends up sacrificing himself by giving Sarah, John, the Terminator, and even the SWAT team time to get away before blowing up the lab.
(34:40) Remember the first film Abby. The Terminator got shot countless time, got in several car crashes, run over by a truck, blown up, set on fire, and still kept coming. The guns those cops are shooting might as well be spit-wads. As for the T-1000 (Robert Patrick), it’s described as an advanced prototype, which means it’s a newer and more advanced Terminator model created by Skynet. Making him deadlier and harder to kill compared to the T-800 (Arnold Schwarzenegger). You could stop the T-1000 by freezing it, but the only way to kill it is by melting it until there’s nothing left. Believe it or not, James Cameron originally envisioned Billy Idol playing the T-1000, which is why the original concept designs resembled him. Idol was unable to accept the role because he had recently got into a serious motorcycle accident. Robert Patrick was cast instead, and his performance is iconic. He learned how to fire a gun without flinching, and run without heavy breathing or signs of exhaustion.
Thank you Toy and Abby! You ladies are so awesome, and I can’t wait for your next videos!
The wink was perfect, Abby has no idea lol
Producer's note: Toy's the awesomest, isn't she? She and Abby are filming another amazing reaction right this moment.
@@RuntotheMovies can't wait to see it! 😍😍😍😍
@@RuntotheMovies can you tell me what movie it is?
I was 20 years old when T2 came out and saw it when it came out in theaters more than once. It was groundbreaking in so many ways and surpassed the original in every way. Prior to filming, Linda Hamilton went through three months of intense physical training with a former Israeli Special Forces commando. She was able to take apart a gun and put it back together blindfolded. Robert Patrick, the actor who played the T-1000, went through the same intense training. Here is some trivia: The guy in the shopping mall who had the camera was William Wisher, who co-wrote the screenplays of the original Terminator and T2 with James Cameron. He was also in the original Terminator as the cop whose police car was taken by the Terminator.
Linda Hamilton actually learned how to get out of her restraints like that and did it for real for the scene. And for the scene where the T-1000 chases John on his dirt bike by running after it, the actor Robert Patrick trained himself run without showing himself breathing and to shoot without flinching or blinking. He got so good at the running that he actually kept catching up to John on the dirtbike and tapping his shoulder.
I can just imagine T2 the Musical. The chorus singing “hasta la vista, hasta la vista, hasta la vista….. babyyyy!” 😂
😹
Love the "dyson" connection 😁Fun easter egg, "Skynet" exits! Its in England though not the states.
I don't know if anyone else has already mentioned this, but one "fun fact" is that there were two sets of twins used in this movie. The guard who was copied at the mental hospital, and Sarah herself. When there were two of them in the same scene, the duplicate was a twin. Including Sarah's dream-self.
Great reaction to the final movie in the Terminator story ladies, and great job Toy not playing the spoiler for Abby! Loved that little wink at the camera early on, Toy. That was so cute and a great "you know what I know" moment for us! And, as always, great work to the editing crew with the facial zooms and the "Abby.exe not responding". So great and so accurate. 😀
Some (many) notes now:
The man taking pictures while looking stunned in the mall is the same character (and actor) who was the police officer that Arnold took the police car from in his pursuit of Kyle and Sarah in the first movie. That's why he looks stunned: he knows who this guy is and he knows the damage and killing he was responsible for the last time he saw him. He's also the source of the current day photos the officers show Sarah in Pescadero. It's not mentioned or referred to in any editions, but it is an Easter Egg that a friend of mine showed me.
Robert Patrick trained so hard for this role as the T-1000. Training to shoot without the reflexive blink. Learning to run full speed only breathing through his nose, and he was fast enough a sprinter that he actually caught the dirt bike in the mall parking garage. He was the perfect machine. He was so amazingly intimidating in this movie, as much as or even more so than Arnold, and that's saying something!
When the orderly licks Sarah in the hospital, that was apparently one of the so-called catatonia tests done by unethical or sadistic orderlies according to an old friend of mine who had worked in a few psych hospitals, mainly in California, back in the late 70s and early 80s. It wasn't unusual for patients to try to get an advantage by pretending to be catatonic, hoping that the staff would think that they were out of it and not pay much attention so they could try to escape, create havoc, or whatever. Licking someone's face was a mild way of testing, according to my friend. The more standard way of testing among the more brutal orderlies was what was called a cup check, basically hitting the person in the crotch as hard as they could with a broomstick or something like that (the tonfa, shown in the movie, or a billyclub, wasn't standard when he was working in the field, so the evil jerks had to use other items like broomsticks of knees). If they didn't react then they were catatonic. And, sometimes, the catatonic patients needed to be taken to the hospital due to the damage inflicted by whatever the orderly did causing ruptures or internal damage. Apparently one patient lost his testicles as it was several days before it was realized how badly he had been hurt. And, of course, no one ever knew how it happened. “He musta fallen, or done it to himself to try to get out of here.” My friend never missed that job. He told me that some people did things worse than that, but those stories don't need repeating.
There are two sets of twins in this movie. One set are the brothers who played the security guard at Pescadero and the T-1000 imitating him. The other set are Linda Hamilton and her twin sister Lesley who played the other Sarah in the sequences like the nightmare and the showdown at the end where there are two of her are in the same scene. Lesley, a nurse in real life, sadly passed away several years ago.
Abby noticed it so kudos to her, and I love it when the Terminator begins copying John's mannerisms and his one sided half smirk smile as is best seen in the exchange after he hefts the minigun in Sarah's arms bunker and in the "Trust me." moment. I didn't realize that the first couple of times I watched the movie, and it added so much when I finally realized it.
I remember learning that Cameron got a letter from a group of scientists congratulating him for the most realistic depiction of a nuclear detonation in a city in Sarah's nightmare. This horrified him since he was just trying to create the most over the top terrifying image he could, only to discover that it was accurate.
Luckily, Sarah stepped back from Terminator mode before killing Dyson, which is good. Killing Dyson wouldn't have changed much of anything anyway. Cyberdyne still would have had the parts, all his notes, and everything they needed to complete the project. Judgment Day would have come, just on a different day other than Michael Jackson's (and my little sister's) birthday. The excellent Joe Morton, who played Dyson, had an accident that punctured one of his lungs when he was younger, so he knew firsthand how Dyson should be breathing/gasping at the end. And Dyson was the biggest damn hero in this movie. He went from completely clueless scientist/engineer to ready and willing to sacrifice his life in less than two hours. And he even gave the men who shot him a chance to escape before the bomb blew. No bigger damn hero in this movie of heroes.
Side Note: The Dyson corporation was founded the same year this movie came out, which means it didn't exist when the movie was being made. Coincidence or foreshadowing, you can decide. 😛
The extended edition had two advantages over the standard edition. Though it wasn't obvious in its performance, the continuous damage the T-1000 was taking from every shot that hit it and every impact was affecting it. It is most obvious at the scene in the smelting plant after being shattered when, as shown in the theater release, its feet tended to take on the aspect of the flooring as it walked and, in the extended edition, when it grabbed a railing its hand mimicked the paint job on the railing. Also, in the extended edition, at the final scene when Sarah is calling out for John, he looks down and sees that the fake Sarah's feet look like the ironwork that the T-1000 is standing on and he knows for sure which to trust.
The extended edition variant ending is also superior (to me) for one more reason: it ends with older Sarah sitting on a playground bench and watching her adult son playing with her granddaughter, meaning that this Terminator movie is absolutely the end of the franchise, and all the movies that steal the name of the series after this are just lame cash grabs and can and should be avoided like the plague, in my opinion.
Also, future John had no choice but to send back an older style of Terminator, as those were the ones they were familiar with, and the ones they had likely disassembled and learned how to reprogram after 'killing' them. Since the T-1000 was a prototype not released to the front lines yet, future John only knew one existed after Younger John saw it. Which leads to another of those insane mindloops as one tries to figure out the flow of time from this point. 😛
Future John did do what he could to help Sarah trust the old style Terminator. His first words to her were the exact same as Kyle's first words to her in the first movie, "Come with me if you want to live.", and you saw her react to that. Subtle, but there, and cool to have such subtleties in the movie.
The budget for this movie was around $100 million while the earlier one only had a budget of around $6 1/2 million. So they could afford MUCH better FX and random acts of mass destruction. Like blowing up the floor of a building. 😛 And flying an actual helicopter under an actual bridge in the middle of the night. 😲
The sequel to Alien, called Aliens, was better than the original in many people's opinion. In some ways it was for the same reason that the same was true for Terminator: the first movie did so much better than expected that they approved a much higher budget for the second. If Abby hasn't seen those movies yet -there's something seriously wrong with her- she should see them soon. Yes, I'm teasing with the marked out bit there, don't hate. 😀
Other movies where the second movie in the series was considered superior to the first movie: Star Trek The Wrath of Khan and Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back. But, yeah, usually sequels are not as good as the first movie. Though few are as gawdawful as the sequel to the Highlander movie. Ugh!
If Abby watches the Alien/Aliens duo of movies (and like the Terminator series the first two movies tell the complete story and the other steal the name for the sake of taking people's cash in my opinion. They're nowhere as good), keep an eye out for the four actors that appear in one of the two Terminator movies and who are in the movie Aliens. Most of them have bigger roles in Aliens than they had in the Terminator movies, but without cheating I'm thinking she'll know two of them at best. 🙂
9:37 I just love how few people connect the Guns & Roses reference, as Arnold petitioned for Guns & Roses to be the primary song on the soundtrack. Apparently, Arnie is a HUGE Guns & Roses fan.
36:17…made me think of that song “boom-boom-boom let’s go back to my room” 🤣
I always remember my first thought at the start when Arnie threw the guy on to the grill was "He's ruined the clothes now!"
Grill marks on leather... 🤔 Did he ruin them, or make the tastier 😉
It's funny to me now whenever I go back and watch the scene, because you can clearly see the nozzles that spit out the steam/fog/whatever they used.
Great Movie! I used to do some acting and was in a few major films as a movie extra and had some speaking roles in a few independent films. So, I got to meet several major actors during my time doing this, and one of the people I got to meet was the boy in this movie Edward Furlong. I was a movie extra in another movie that he was in. I was standing right next to him on the set and got to talk to him. I also got his autograph. He was a very nice guy. You two had a good reaction to the movie. Abbie was funny, she was really losing it. lol I was loving the 80's metal music in the background that you had playing when you were about to start the movie.
They had to keep reshooting the mall escape scene because Robert Patrick kept catching up to the bike, despite teaching himself how to sprint without breathing, and shoot without blinking (except for once in the movie, which he was disappointed about.)
Abby - "Where'd he get the extra hand? That's not fair"
Tony S. - "Fair? Oogatz fair."
Screenwriter Will Wisher has a cameo. He's the man with the camera in the scene after T-800 gets thrown through the window. He was also in the first film as a cop who he gets his head bashed by the Terminator
My crazy interesting fact is that the badass Vasquez was the same woman that played the frumpy foster mother of John Connor in T2
They didn’t send a newer model, because I imagine it would be impossible to reprogram. It’s probably quite easy for John to reprogram Arnold’s model.
Great point. Also at the time in future the T1000 was an advanced prototype, so would not likeley be in mass production like the T 800.
The reason they didn't send one is the same reason skynet never put them into full scale production. They are impossible to reprogram or control once they are activated. Even skynet can't force them to do what it wants.
@@markcarpenter6020Wow, that seems made up lore.
Probably the only terminator they had access to, then just need to have it follow young John's directions, and/or Sarah's.
@@Cheepchipsable not really. It's in the comics and the Sarah Conner Chronicles. In fact some of the 1000 models (the 1001 model) actually rebel against skynet in the Sarah Conner Chronicles.
"He turned into the tire" 🤣
Hahahahaha I had to mess with Abby 😂😂😂😁😁😁❤❤
This has probably already been said in the comments but John didn't send back the "more advanced model" because he didn't have access to one. Skynet sent a prototype, which was presumably the only one in existence at the time.
@32:05 Those types of guns are mounted on fighter planes, ships and for air defense on mobile units. Some of these can fire up to 6000 rounds per minute.
Love that wink!
Producer's note: Toy's humor is one of my favorite things about all the videos we make. Thanks so much for watching with us!
Oy! Toy's wink at the camera made me weak in the knees :o
😉😊😊❤️
Abby was asking about if there are any other movies where the sequel is better than the first one, and there are several. Probably the top three most people know of are Terminator 2, Empire Strikes Back, and Aliens. Next tier might be Road Warrior, a sequel to Mad Max and Desperado, a sequel to El Mariachi.
Evil Dead 2
IMO Rocky 2
It's funny--Evil Dead 2 is just redone Evil Dead 1 with a few dollars more budget. And then Army of Darkness is a balls to the wall crazy pants romp of funtimes.
@@whoarocket You could argue the same for the Mariachi trilogy. El Mariachi is very low budget, Desperado reuses most of the plot of EM but with a budget and more action, and Once Upon A Time In Mexico is pretty insane.
I dont know about Empire Strikes Back, I think A New Hope is just as good if not better.
It’s always a pleasure to watch my favorite movies with you two fun girls.
❤❤
The woman that plays John’s stepmom is also in James Cameron movie Aliens. The security guard at the mental hospital where he gets the coffee, his twin brother is the other guy then kills his brother. Those 2 were in some movies in the 80s and 90s together. Linda Hamilton twin sister is also in the dream sequence. I also love Robert Patrick cameo in Wayne’s World movie making a joke of being the T-1000.
She's also in Titanic as the boat takes on water she is comforting her two children in bed knowing the impending doom that awaits.
Thanks for the great reactions. It was a genius move to switch Arnold from the villain to the hero. And this movie taught a whole generation of kids some real life rules.
- It's ok to steal from The Man.
- Never narc out your friends
- it's ok to shoot someone in the leg if you're saving your mom.
- And must importantly, Never Never Never lick someone who's drugged or in a coma. That's just wrong.
The redheaded twins from the hospital can also be seen in " Good Morning Vietnam " with Robin Williams.
35:57 how have I never seen this! I'm not kidding I've maybe watched this movie 40 times, I've never picked up that he had extra hands.
Editor's note: same here. What's more, this is the second reaction to this movie that I have edited, and yet I've never noticed the extra hand until Abby pointed it out.
i feel so observant haha usually when i say stuff like this I end up looking stupid 😂
Kudos to you for noticing the T-1000's third hand during the helicopter-chase. It's such a funny little detail. 😃
The scene with the pieces melting was made with mercury that is liquid at room temperature and magnetic. Then they moved magnets under the "floor" to make the drops join up.
Lol I'm not gonna lie. I thought it was one puddle and they took a hair dryer and made it flare out then reverses it 😂😂😂😂
Having loose mercury on a floor sounds unsafe.
@@randallwong7196They flew a helicopter under a bridge for real. I dont think a few drops of mercury even register n the same scale.
A small cool tidbit about the film. The exploding building was filmed in Fremont, CA. They detonated it at around 2:00 a.m. it was amazing to watch.
If they ever did a remake of T2 Abby could play the part of Sarah Conner because she looks like her.
that would be my dream role! Sarah Conner is a queen!!!
Love the reactions, ladies! Love the shock and awe!
"The theatrical version is MUCH better than the director's cut" and that from James Cameron, the writer and director. And he's right, you picked the right one.
Technically it's not a Director's Cut hence why Cameron only restored the Theatrical release.
He said the version he wanted to release was the one shown in theatres.
The extended cut was a studio request due to fans complaining that scenes in the trailers were not in the film. I personally prefer the theatrical cut as I think the other cuts slow the pacing of the film.
In the scene with Sarah watching herself at the park and the guard scene with the t 1000 coming up out the floor are both actors twins in real life
Who complains about the theatrical version? It's perfect!
Producer's note: When we recorded Hannah and Tori's reaction to this movie, the comment section was awash with outrage about how we dared to watch the theatrical edition and not the extended one.
@RuntotheMovies Oh, I see . Makes sense. Thanks.
31:55 a lot of people are confused why it’s called a mini-gun, but it’s because they are miniaturized versions of the Gatling guns that get mounted to attack helicopters and fighter jets. The full sized versions fire bullets that are huge by comparison, the shells that come from them could be used as a water bottle. Mini-guns are real and are usually mounted to vehicles, they aren’t really meant to be hand held, but a Terminator can manage it. Most of the time you hear the sound of them in movies, it’s actually not the noise they make. They fire so rapidly that it’s hard to actually hear the individual shots so it’s more like a loud hum than what a movie going audience associates with gunfire, so the sound effect is actually pretty slowed down here. Still cool as hell though.
You mentioned that you're watching the theatrical version of it, and this is one of the few movies where I think I prefer the shorter theatrical one. I've seen the full one, and I don't really like most of the extra things they added in, and I really don't like the extended ending. There is just one single scene that I really love that I wish they would have included from the extended, and it's the one where they take Arnold's chip out, and Sarah is about to destroy it because she still doesn't trust it, but John convinces her not to because they still need it's help, and he says that if he's supposed to become a great leader, maybe she should start trusting some of his ideas.
I couldn’t agree more with literally every single thing you said in your comment, and I feel many if not most fans likely feel the same way. 😎👍
I also preferred the ending with Sara and John instead of this one.
There is a version that includes that scene and does not have the additional ending scene, although I don't know what it's referred to as. All I know is I have it on my computer, lol.
The mini gun prop was used in another famous movie that also has Arnold in it. If you have seen the movie, you will know what I am talking about.
