@ReelRejects, love your reactions to terminator films, You guys should react to Sarah Connor Chronicles its only 2 Season and it fits in nicely between T2 and T3. It is really good.
Actor Robert Patrick worked for months with a real T-1000 in order to understand its movements, behavior, and ability to create stabbing weapons with its hands and arms.
fucking shame about ed furlong but i will suggest a movie called jimmy and judy with him in it a indy thing. i cant find a copy anywhere so shout out if anyone can find it
"Call to John" is not a plot hole. He can mimic voices, but he can not mimic the way someone talks until he hears them. When he talks to his foster mom she sounds like her, but the T1000 doesn't know that she's usually mean to John. So she sounds nice and he thinks it's odd. In the theatrical version, John doesn't look at T1000 Sarah's feet. He knows it's not his mom because she is presenting a weak and scared Sarah, but he knows his mother would never act like that. Because she never called to John the T1000 had to make a guess as to how she would sound when calling to John.
Yeh the whole foot glitch felt unnecessary and patronising anyone who's paying attention knows Sarah would never give up John's position by calling to him. She'd be far more likely to yell at him to escape and evade for his safety.
I believe is more of like he didn't interact a lot with her so he doesn't have the data to mimic her voice and plus, he was malfunctioning, so at the moment he wasn't copying well, that's the point of the feet part more than just not realizing how she acts
Rox, I can tell you now, as someone who suffers from CPTSD, if you have a moment like Sarah did when meeting Arnie for the first time when he comes out of the elevator, you're not hearing anything but white noise and your own heartbeat no matter how much John called out to his mother. Her acting in that scene (aswel as the rest of the movie) was utterly phenomonal.
@@_LexiMae the long and short of it was first to show the ruthlessness of the T-1000 to torture Sarah. It might not have been 100 percent after being frozen and reheated as it relies on software in its brain. Arnold as the T-800 says to John typically the subject copied is terminated. Typically which gives a bit of wiggle room in that it can decide to do so by its discretion.
@@chrismais I wrote this in another comment before, but i'll post it here too... T-1000 vs SARAH plothole explained: (Theatrical version) - There were MANY scenes removed toward the end which confused many audience members back in 1991, more specifically how John knew which Sarah was the right one. In the theatrical version, you do not see the T-1000's feet at the end... ever. (Special Edition) - The additional scenes answered every single question audiences had without needing to explain anything with actual dialogue, mainly explaining the ripple effect going up the T-1000's body. This was an indicator that he'd possibly undergone some sort of malfunction since the incident with the liquid nitrogen crash. Once he'd reformed, he was clearly confused as to why his body was doing things he didn't want it to do once touching the guard rail, but even still, pressed on with his mission. It wasn't until he was faced with Sarah, that he'd come to a realization after the entire film's events leading up until now, including the most recent one, leading to his malfunction. The realisation being - that he couldn't get John on his own via visual replication anymore without having his body replicating the surface on the ground that he was touching, thus giving himself away. Eventually, this is what leads to his ultimate demise and what signals to John that the T-1000 was infact a replication of his mother. In the end, the "plothole" only exists in the theatrical version, not this version. It's just not explained with spoken words. This is one of the reasons i personally love this movie so much. 30 years later and i'm still finding new stuff to love about it.
"Did she not hear John yelling 'Mom'"? Sarah already learned at great cost that Terminators can imitate voices to manipulate human emotions. Her own mother was killed in such a ploy if you recall when she and Reese hid at a hotel. That's why she never looks back. The little details are amazing.
Yeah. Oh my gosh. The terror and devastation Sarah must've been going through, hearing John's voice from the direction of the Terminator. You can totally see the loss, terror, and vulnerability in Linda's performance
@@LukeLovesRose Exactly! Plus she knows that the foster parents have been killed and that John is missing so that Terminator imitating him is right on point for what it would do.
My take on that scene was that Sarah was having a panic attack at that point, not expecting to see *that* Terminator walk right out the elevator in front of her. I doubt she heard John call out at all. Even when John was literally next to her, she was so focused on the T-800 that his presence didn't register at first.
It's dumbed down popcorn cheese. Exactly why the masses love it. $$$ Entertaining but so many flaws. How about the two casually dressed men walking into a clean room at the beginning? Don't need to list more.
@@DrJohnnyFever.actually it’s good writing because they are trying to make an emotional moment, not be true to the “real world”. It’s about backwards time travel for fucks sake. lol
@@DrJohnnyFever.if you really wanna talk plot holes, why does the T-1000 ever mimic a human. He can literally be a disguised as the floor. It could be anything and just shoot a metal spike and kill anything. It’s about entertainment.
The scene of the T1000 chasing John out of the parking lot had to be done a few times Because Robert Patrick kept catching up to the bike Let that sink in
Rox, you're thinking about the bomb sequence too literally, ya silly bean. The dream is simply a manifestation of extreme fear and guilt she feels over just knowing this is the future. Seeing herself with John in the playground is like an alternate reality where none of it happened, but she's stuck behind a wall in this reality, where the future is cold, harsh and bleak, watching her possible future and past be destroyed by the things she knows and fears.
Yes exactly, the dream represented her life if she hadn't have been commited and locked away, and basically buried her head in the sand as it were, there's regret because it's the life she would have preferred but in choosing that life, and never raising John to be humanity's saviour, the dark future would be solidified and all of them would die anyway.
I wonder if they do it on purpose as it generates ALOT of comments, which from what a lot of creators say helps more than subscribing as it helps with the algorythem and theyre seen or recommended more than if she hadnt misunderstood.
Doing that is actually not that hard. You just have to get used it and you can do it pretty easily. Its like not to panic when you get punched in the face.
@@gandalainsley6467it might not be hard but it does take ALOT of time to get used to it, for most people. Very few actors are able to do it. I know Clint Eastwood famously did it but it's pretty rare.
On her approach after emptying her magazine on full auto, she walks right through a tree branch without blinking. She was a machine at that point. She was a Terminator. Perfectly executed! Linda was amazing.
It's kind of hard to get across just how unbelievably mind-blowing this movie was when it came out. It was the most epic thing anybody had ever seen. Especially 14 year-old me. JURASSIC PARK and THE MATRIX had a similar sense of awe, as did FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING.
This is 100% the best action movie ever. Anytime someone brings up another I can't put it over T2, especially not the Directors Cut of T2 when they open up Arnold's head!
1:04:12 - A note about the Halon system: Halon is a fire suppression system that essentially eats oxygen. It's mostly used in file storages, server rooms, and anywhere else you wouldn't want to dump gallons of water. That said, as beings that are quite fond of oxygen, it's not great for humans to be in a room flooded with Halon.
The fire in the opening credits was 100% practical. It was the biggest baddest set on fire that ever existed, all shot in slow-mo, meaning it had to burn extremely long and got extremely hot. The crew called it "Cameron's Inferno".
I love how this movie takes the first one and improves on it. Bad guy as protector, Sarah strong after years of training instead of helpless, new technology, expansion of the lore and the good guys going on the offensive. It’s one of the few perfect sequels.
21:38 - Fun fact: Actor Robert Patrick ran track in college. For this film, he practiced sprinting with his mouth closed for weeks before filming began. He was so fast, that he kept catching up to the motorcycle. They had to keep re-shooting until the bike finally outran him. Now that's fast!
I figured he didn’t kill Sarah because his job isn’t to kill Sarah, and as long as she is alive he can use her as leverage to bring John back one way or another. The second he kills her and John knows, John has no reason not to run to the ends of the earth and maybe escape. Great reaction! Merry Christmas!
For the scene Roxy thinks doesn't make sense, it does work, because he knew that copying the foster mom didn't work. The actor in the mall with the camera who is in shock, is not only the same actor from the first movie who was the young cop that Arnold knocks out and steals his car. According to James Cameron, he is the same character. That's why everyone in the scene is surprised, but he's absolutely frozen in shock.
I just realized for the first time that you can hear that the shutter keeps clicking. So although he looks on in horror he also collects evidence probably because last time nobody believed him.
@@michaelklaus It's one of my favorite easter eggs in the movie. That, and the gas station they stay at is a "Benthic Petroleum" station. The oil company from The Abyss.
I watched this movie when I was 11 and understood most of the plot. These ladies are adorable, but sometimes they act like they don’t understand how movies work.
What did you expect? They didn't know the movie is called Judgement day at the beginning. I stopped the vid as I know where this was headed. These ladies wouldn't have a clue if someone put what is 1+1 = on a screen.
I saw this masterpiece in theaters when I was 9 years old. It was the greatest movie-going experience of my life. The Terminator and T2 were my Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back.
In this movie, there are two sets of twins: Linda Hamilton and her twin Leslie Hamilton Freas (1956-2020). Leslie appeared in the mirror scene where they reset Arnold’s chip and as Sarah in the playground during the nuclear bomb dream sequence. Additionally, twins Don and Dan Stanton portray a guard at Pescadero State Hospital, while the T-1000 imitates him.
@ I don’t know but the photos that I have seen of the two of them together before Leslie passed they looked exactly the same, body shape and everything
Terminator 1 budget: $6 million Terminator 2 budget: $100 million You can definitely see it in the effects. I'm so glad you talked about the "Extended scenes" and how they were cut from the theatrical release! I saw it in theaters, so you can imagine my confusion when I saw all these extra scenes that were not in the original release. I have a photographic memory when it comes to films. So when I saw Sara attempt to smash the chip, or when the guard beat up Sara, I couldn't believe I had forgotten those scenes. Nope. My memory is 100% intact. I never saw these scenes before. Thanks for another great reaction to one of the all time classic films.
Cyberdyne is located in Japan.... Skynet is a UK satellite defence system.... Self repairing alloys do exist.... Clone Alpha features synthetic organ systems, including skeletal, muscular, vascular, and nervous systems. Alpha's movement is powered by artificial muscles fueled by water, making its gait eerily natural. With 164 degrees of freedom in its upper torso-20 in the shoulder alone, and a jaw-dropping 26 in the hand, wrist, and elbow. Don't have nightmares............
Yeah, I like in the theatrical cut the exchange of dialogue in the garage, when the Terminator explains he is a learning computer, and then John says something about how he "won't act like such a dork all the time." There is an affection in that line, and it's missing in the extended version. I also like in the theatrical cut the implication that John has to go by instinct at the end that The T-1000 imitating his mother is NOT his mother. In the extended, that implied intuition is all gone.
I wouldn't even think that the change in the chip was wrong... But everything that happens in the metal factory with the T1000 glitching made it less effective I preferred the one where you didn't see the flaws
54:27 oh c’mon. It’s a nightmare, Roxy, not MCU time travel BS. Goddamn, metaphors are a thing. She’s not seeing the actual future of her having another kid and getting bombed, she’s seeing an innocent mother and child that she’s helpless to save. And wouldn’t you know it, that’s what she fears for herself and her actual son.
I was gonna say the same thing. They are too user to marvel and super hero movies. I saw this when it came out and no one ever misunderstood what Sarah's dream was or why John was little. It was a damn nightmare, a dream! Nightmares never make literal sense. It's your subconscious manifesting your fears and guilt etc
@@Xfactor444-x4n Also, given how different she looks in the nightmare, it's pretty clear that she's seeing herself as she would've been if she hadn't been targeted for termination, met Kyle, raised John, and had to prepare for war. She's seeing what could've been, not an alternate timeline or "the future" or whatever. In fact, if she's imagining a life that might've been had she not been caught up in all this, then that may not even have been John. Those could've been two kids from some other guy that she meets bc there was no reason for Kyle to ever come back, she'd never have met him, etc. She's dreaming about what Sarah Conner might've been if she wasn't the mother of the future and didn't know that bomb was coming. And as y'all said, it's a metaphor for innocent lives being lost in the cataclysm to come if it's not stopped.
Yes. You can see that Sarah is wearing her waitress uniform. It's just a nightmare depiction of Sarah and a toddler John being oblivious to the coming holocaust.
They should watch the Special Edition which is 2 hours and 33 minutes. The theatrical cut is 2h17m. There's also a "Special Extended Cut" (yep, a 3rd version) which has an alternate ending and is 2h36m. It's the same as Special, plus a few more scenes. Trust me, the additions are worth checking out, much like in Lord of the Rings. 😎 EDIT: I am watching this react at 13m50s and they have opted for the special cut! Nice! Kyle's appearance in Sarah's dream is not in the theatrical one. Also, it's worth pointing out in 2017 they digitally altered the movie, for a few scenes (like in the bike chase, they replaced the double with Arnold likeness). In 2017, too, they released the movie with a new color grading, which in my opinion is very, very bad (with teal and other issues with the remastering). However, the 2015 edition (which is the only one worth watching, if you are talking about official releases) is not good, either, with a magenta appearance like old DVDs (the new discs look greenish in a few shots). I had the opportunity of watching a regraded (fan) version of T2, plus two 35mm (4K) versions of T2's theatrical cut (not finalized, crude, but one of them good). And it's awesome. EDIT2: they are also watching a pre-2017 version. The bike scene is unaltered in this react.
39:08 "Did she not hear him say, 'Mom, wait'?" She heard him, but she didn't see John before he said it, and she knows that the Terminator can imitate voices. And, you know, she's in panic mode too, so she's not registering things logically.
If it was a plot hole, then I guess the Terminators previously, repeatedly demonstrating that they FIRST tell people to give them clothes, weapons, bikes, etc. and then terminating IF they don't comply are also "plot holes." Also, in this cut with extra scenes, we see the T1000 is continually glitching after reforming in the heated factory, so it might also know the probability of its replications for voices was as high/shaky as his shape shifting replications, so better to tell Sarah to call out first.
@@lareh5501no. It simply knew after the whole Max/Wolfie debacle that having the real Sarah call out was the option with higher probability for luring John. T-1000 learned quickly after the foster parents that a mistake was made.
@correypeta the Terminators "learning" is a point of debate based on the acceptance or ignoring of the logic introduced via the deleted scene of Sarah removing the chip or not. What's not debatable is Terminators have been repeatedly shown to state their demands FIRST and then take action depending on the answer. T1: Terminator statements to weapons store owner, demanding/listing the weapons as first option rather than its first option being to terminate and take. T2: Terminator demands to bar patron, telling him to give up his clothes & bike keys FIRST, rather than terminating and then taking. Terminator demanding Sarah call out FIRST, before going the route of terminating her and taking her place falls in line with the programming logic seen up to that point. Theatrical release Arnie said he learns as result of the chip (i.e. default functionality based on chip programming), so that _'could'_ therefore be base programming of future models; but the deleted scene required its chip removal & resetting... and one would have to assume that that failsafe was seen as faulty programming and then removed for later models.
@lareh5501 that isn't correct at all. Cameron himself said that the reason WHY he deleted the switching of the chip scene was because he didn't want to insult the intelligence of the audience and it slowed the movie. We were supposed to be smart enough to know that John flipped that switch, and we can see John already beginning to teach him the next morning. So interpretation does NOT change based on whether this scene was added or not. We're supposed to KNOW that it happened. Secondly, not sure why you made that list because it has nothing to do with the topic. Of course a Terminator will make a demand if it wants something, but there are plenty of times when the Terminator just KILLS. The only reason Terminator had Sarah call out was because IT WAS THE BEST CHANCE OF CATCHING JOHN. When that fails, he mimics Sarah and calls out for him. People who say "he needed to get a sample of Sarah calling out" is not correct, because he never got that sample!
1:24:08 Jon just talked with his foster mother for a few seconds and realized right away it wasn't her. Just because the t-1000 can replicate people doesn't mean you can't realize it's not them
Well you can when you know what’s going on, and have reason to suspect that a replacement could even be possible. If Arnie hadn’t contacted him yet John would think she was acting out if character but never would leap to “it’s not her”.
@interstellardave yeah, what's the point. John knows what's going on and has a reason to suspect. That's why t1000 tried to use Sarah in another way and not replicate her right away. Because he knew it probably wouldn't work
James Cameron was told by all his legal teams, aswel as folks on set, that they simply weren't going to do the helicopter scene due to safety concerns, among many other issues. So he shot it himself with a small number of people under his own time and dime because he felt like the shot was absolutely necessary. The 2 stunt pilots loved flying for such an iconic moment in cinema history.
A funny thing, in the scene where the T-1000 is running after John on his motorcycle, Robert Patrick was told to run as fast as he can and in the first take he actually caught up to John! He was fast!
When the first Terminator came out Arnie had really just started out as an actor, by the time the second one was made he was THE BIGGEST action Star on the planet, they had to write him in as the hero of the sequel.
Arnold was several years into acting by the time the first Terminator came out. He started acting in 1970 with Hercules in New York. The first Terminator was the first movie after he began to make a name for himself with Conan, and T1 shot him into stardom. He was toe-to-toe with Stallone & Willis for action stars by ‘92 when this came out, but again this shot him past all of them to the top.
@@thepodbaydoorshal that's true, but he didn't really start making a name for himself as a viable option as a lead actor until Conan, which was only two years before Terminator.
@@charlesedwards2856 I know he had projects under his belt, but he wasn't true viable lead option until Conan really, so his career didn't really kick off until the early 80s. I am just saying that he was still green enough that he would take just about any main role he could at that time, versus the 90s when he was so popular that making him the hero of T2 was the obvious move.
21:15 I once read somewhere that actors who are cast to play a terminator have to go on like a terminator boot camp program where they are trained to drop any human traits such as smiling,frowning even right down to their breathing to make them more machine like.
1:00:42: I will always appreciate the level of cooperation and belief that Dyson and his wife both had, even after he got shot and almost hardcore murdered. Dyson and the Mrs. were the MVPs of the film…And he was definitely a G for that end👏🏾👏🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Fun fact. The officer that gets stabbed by himself is being played by that actors brother. They did the same trick with Linda Hamilton and her twin sister as well. Really smart way to do things cheaper than CGI.
The simple concept of "no fate but what we make." Has tremendous meaning.... We are the drivers of our Fate. We as human beings are the ones who decide our Fate.... What we do now, will affect the future
At 54:12 the director James Cameron had explained what was in the dream sequence, Sarah sees her old self from the first movie in the waitress outfit (if you pause to see it more closely), and the whole question was, what if the terminator had never come to 1984 to assassinate her back then. So what you see is Sarah Connor with her son in 1997 had the terminator never shown up and she would have been unaware of what was going to happen in the future where the nukes dropped with the intent to destroy all humanity.
When the Terminator killed the foster parents he didn't know the real name of the dog until he saw the collar. So he needed sara to call out for John because she would know things to say to get him to come. Killing Sara he wouldn't know details to get John to come.
Yup, that's what I was going to say. John already didn't buy his Janelle impersonation, so the T-1000 needed the real Sarah to know how to lure John including even if John didn't buy the impersonation the T-1000 had his real Mom as a hostage and John already demonstrated the lengths he'll go to save his Mom even putting himself in great danger.
The foster mother of john is also Vasques from Aliens😊also Linda Hamiton as a twiin sister in real life the dream of the park and the scene with two Sarah's near the end when 1T-1000 disguised as her was actualy her twiin sister.
Jenette Goldstein. She was also in Lethal Weapon 2; she was one of the team members of Riggs and Murtagh's that met an unfortunate end (the exploding diving board)... And @tiagoalves2056 Linda Hamilton HAD a twin sister; Leslie Hamilton passed in 2020 thanks to cancer 😢
One of the best sequels in history Frfr 💯. And the conversation John has with the Terminator where he discovered that he has to do what John says especially when he kept asking why?? And during the first truck chase scene when the truck crashes you can actually see the practical dummy they used. Even with that it doesn't mess up this movie at all. Awesome reaction ladies Frfr 💯
I never saw this extended edition you're reacting to here, but I love the attitude he exposes at 45:33 and up through "...because if my own mother won't..." is amazing. (Love watching you two react together!! Roxy and Tara are the best!)
If I’m remembering correctly, she was struggling with mental health during this movie, I think she suffered permanent hearing damage in one of her ears as well. She killed it though
Gregs personal review from memory cameo was cool, nice to have a unique aspect to the review of one of his and one of mine and one of alot of our favourite movies 🙏🏾
I love watching these ladies because of how much they enjoy the movies they've never seen, but it is so hard to watch them sometimes.😂 There's some stuff that get so crazy wrong when it's very simply shown through context clues that it's hilarious. They're not the best with figuring stuff out if it's not specifically said in the movie but they're still enjoyable to watch. The t1000 can mimic people he touches but he doesn't know their mannerisms That's why John noticed his foster mom wasn't right and why the t1000 was telling Sarah to call to John because he couldn't properly mimic it. There's a chance that if she did he could probably do it after that after seeing how she did it but he was more than likely wanting to use her to do it.
What a Christmas present girls!!! IMO the greatest film ever made. It's big, loud, tense, emotional and the effects are incredible, and still hold up to this day. An absolute masterpiece that will never be bettered
1:24:00 - The liquid nitrogen broke him. That's also why he couldn't control replicating stuff he touched after he reformed. It's easy to show Arnold taking battle damage because he just loses skin and parts. So the T1000 can still do his stuff, but it takes him effort that it didn't before. That's why it took him a minute to eventually turn into Sarah.
That's not why. Although he was starting to malfunction, he could still mimic. He calculated that having Sarah call out gave him better odds since he blew it with Janelle, and he KNEW his mimic wasn't good enough.
@matthewbertram4312 While getting the dogs name wrong is what blew it. They were on to him before that, John said that something was off because she's never that nice.
People often say "How can there be a sequel when Arnold (Terminator) gets destroyed in the first movie?" It's not the same Terminator. Just like Toyota makes millions of Camry's, Skynet makes multiple Terminator models.
@@rwaa6931 right, Model 101 is a mould that can produce "Arnies". It is better displayed in one of the most Underrated teaser trailers of all time. The S.M. Sterling Terminator books (which are canon) reveal that the Model 101 mould was Scuplted off an Austrian Agent named Dieter Von Rossbach.
27:46 Fun fact: the actress playing Johns foster mom, Jeanette Goldstein, also played the bad azz latina Marine in Aliens. Roles in two of the most successful sequels of all time!
Ladies, please let's remember that her son is played by Eddie Furlong, teen heartthrob & his best friend is played by Danny Cooksey, from the late 80s/early 90s show "Salute Your Shorts" & the band, Bad 4 Good. Met Eddie at a comic convention & he was humbled that someone would still fan-girl over just a hug from him. We had some good conversation though.
Merry Christmas Rejects! What a gift of a reaction. All time favourite sequel. My favourite element is the development of Sarah’s Character. At the end of the movie she mentions how a person could go crazy thinking about it all and led straight in to her story in this film exceptionally and authentically.
Yeah, first reactors I've seen who weren't shocked that Arnold was protecting John. Two different people not reacting to that is super weird. Different shared mentality, something you'd think wouldn't be a thing. It's a thing.
This movie is a part of the zeitgeist moreso than the first. People who have never seen these still know Arnie is the terminator, he's a good guy, hasta la vista. Then when they watch the first they're surprised and confused that he's the bad guy.
Becaused they've seen the movie before. If you really believe the "reactors" in these reaction channels see these movies for the first time... man, you are in trouble and better change your saved passwords, haha
Linda Hamilton‘s twin sister is named Leslie Hamilton and she is in the theatrical cut as well. She plays the version of Linda with the kids in the park before the nuclear explosion in her dream.
That was a perfect Christmas gift to myself. It's fun watching that movie over and over again. It's so good but it's definitely the best with you guys. Plus it's the special edition. Nice job. 😊
1:54:00 - ROXY'S CONFUSION? - Roxy thinks the 'Arnie' terminator in 'T2:Judgment Day' is the same terminator from the first movie but from a different timeline. She doesn't seem to understand that these terminators are mass-produced in a factory.
I think part of her problem is she has seen/talked about Dark Fate in a podcast. And that Arnie is from a different timeline in that so... her confusion is understandable.
A lot of people have brought up that he wasn't able to fool John just by imitating the foster parents so he wanted her to do it and I think that's a good point. I also think he was malfunctioning a bit from the liquid nitro incident. He wasn't able to hold or control his forms anymore so if he can get her to do it that's more likely to work.
I had watched T2 before watching the T1 but I never watched T2 special edition. This is my first time watching T2 special edition. And yes I loved T2 more than the T1. Watching T2 before T1 didn't affect my viewing experience. I loved this movie mainly more for the heart, emotion and human aspect around these robots. All those scenes Greg was talking about which were cut in the movie (without the special edition) I saw them now the very first time. Thank you so much Greg for putting out this special edition reaction, otherwise I wouldn't be able to watch the whole uncut movie coz I live in a remote area in India and its almost impossible to get special edition for this movie.
You know in terminator 2 judgment day there Is an alternate ending that like would’ve completely ended the franchise for no terminator sequels to be made, the ending involves Sarah who has gotten old and his son John all grown up and having a daughter in the future, where everything is as it should be and judgment day, never happened.
I hate that ending makes zero sense .. John & Sarah would be n the FBIs most wanted list after the Hospital escape , attack on Dysons home & blowing up the Cyberdyne building There would be no normal life after that
@@madroxmedia7482Yeah, that’s why the 3rd film, while obviously not as good as the first 2, needed to exist because it makes the storyline make sense-at least as much as time travel can. Sooner or later the tech would be created by someone and it had to, in order for it to come back from the future, and in order to explain John’s existence in the first place. The alternate “happy ending, and even the optimistic ending here, make viewers feel good but they create numerous contradictions in the timeline.
I remember watching it in cinema. Was clearly too young for the first one, but this one I've seen in the theater with my Dad. Even though nowadays I still like the dark, dirty and gritty first Terminator very much and might prefer the dark and depressed tone actually to the sequel, I was blown away at the time by this masterpiece. Rightfully considered as one of the best sequels ever made. Never seen before FX, a budget off scale with insane (for the time) action scenes. And even a tearjerker scene at the end - who knew that was coming. It was a real experience - less for my Dad though. He didn't think much of Arnold, he just came for me and I really appreciated that. Fun to see the "Guns'n'Roses" when the T-800 and the T-1000 first meet....since GnR did provide a song for the soundtrack.
I stayed up to 3:30am watching your video cause it was sooooooo good watching it with the two of you! First time viewer, but I will definitely be back! AWESOME channel and the two of you are fun watching movies with ... so glad you both enjoyed this movie as much as I did! It was totally awesome seeing this in the theater when it first came out and not knowing how movies in the future would use computer graphics to complete all this.
The "Why do you cry" moment I feel is so incredibly well acted and woefully underacknowledged. That whole scene leading up to the high fives is some of the most nuanced acting Arnold has ever done
An explanation for the t1000 needing Sarah to call out is because he hadn't heard her speak so he couldn't imitate her voice, the way she enunciate her words
No. That doesn't work because he ends up calling out anyway, still not having heard her call out. Although she had already screamed when stabbed. He calculated that it was better to have real Sarah call since he blew it with Janelle. Pure calculation.
In the Special Edition you see that he's actually glitching repeatedly, so my interpretation was that his ability to imitate effectively was compromised, so he asks Sarah to call out instead. We then see this play out later when he attempts to imitate Sarah but John looks down and sees the T-1000's legs blending in with the floor, giving it away.
@LastRenegade but that isn't the reason. Of it were, the T-1000 wouldn't have THEN mimicked Sarah. If he's malfunctioning bad enough to make him stop mimicking, then he wouldn't have taken that option. No. He's doing it because his mimic wasn't enough to fool John previously. John knew something was wrong. Just like he did again at the end. John hesitates BEFORE he sees the terminator's feet.
@@correypeta It does work because he made her say a few words in order to copy her voice, he could already turn into Sarah's shape since the scene in the lift.
ROXY, they never say that Miles Dyson doesn't know what he's working on or that he's working on something nefarious. He says that when he asked where the weird tech they're studying came from, he was told "Don't ask." Like, you might assume that the tech was taken from a UFO crash or something. Their intent was just to learn from this otherworldly tech and use the knowledge they gained to create a very advanced neural net computer/AI thing, not something nefarious. Nobody was trying to blow up the world, least of all Miles. The only reason SkyNet became "bad" was because it became self-aware and decided humans were the problem. It wasn't inherently an evil project Dyson was working on; it was just a Frankenstein's monster situation (like most of these AI/robot/whatever apocalypse films, it's man's hubris resulting in a well-intentioned creation getting out of our control).
Reason why T1000 was not just imitating Sarah's voice to call for John was the fact, that while he could perfectly copy her voice, but not the emotion. That is how before, during the phone call to the foster-parents Jon recognized that something did not check out.
I hope you guys do more reactions like this. Everyone has a favorite movie that someone else hasn’t seen yet. It makes the discussion after the reaction that much better and Gregg was clearly happy & excited to finally be able to talk about it onscreen with people who are seeing it fresh. It can be daunting to share why we love a thing in such an open forum but RR feels like the kinda crew that can handle it well. Hope to see more of you all talk about your favorite movies with some newbies.
Im sore Greg knows, but there is also a Extended Special Edition on most versions of the DVD and blu ray. You type in with your remotes number keys judgement Day- 829297. Theres two new scenes added, one is the T1000 searching the step parents house. The second is the original ending.
20:12 scene was homage to Arnold's favorite band Guns and Roses which you hear playing in an earlier scene.... literal guns and roses. And Linda Hamilton's twin sister was also playing the mother in the park, and played in the last scene where she tried to lure John as the T1000
As to that Guns and Roses scene it's interesting the reactors describe the damage inflicted on the T-1000 as (at 41:53) "it's like little metal flowers that pop up on him" which we first see in the 20:12 scene with the actual flowers. (Maybe the flowers symbolize the T-1000's unique powers and identity, just as the T-101's sun-glasses symbolize him being "bad to the bone," the toughest in town (9:48)...and so Arnold stepping on the roses, shows how he will be "crushing" this new bad guy in the next few scenes. Likewise the T-1000 later 'returns the favor' by stepping on and crushing (40:07) Arnold's sunglasses in the hospital hallway scene, signifying the T-101 is no longer ”the baddest” around... )
The reason the T1000 didnt terminate Sarah, was because he was malfunctioning after being frozen. Thats why he was glitching. You said it was amazing whoever flew that helicopter, well you actually saw him! He was the actual pilot of the helicopter in the film, and his name is Chuck Tambora. Hes one of the worlds greatest helicopter pilots. The CGI in this film revolutionised moviemaking. EVERYTHING you see today with modern CGI, is thanks to this film. One last thing, this came in 1991, not 1992. It was filmed from October 1990 to March 1991. It was released in July 1991. Great reactions to a legendary classic.
A very real and meta- depiction of a computer generated force that would get ”into" everything ... a Protean, all-mimicking, reality-reflecting, "can-be-everything" power of artificiality...from the future. (Regarding the CGI realizing the T-1000)
@peterlenham3180 no. It wasn't. The only reason why Arnold tested with the dog's name was because John noticed something was wrong. T-1000 can see that it gave the wrong name also because John suspected that something was wrong with Janelle. The terminators are all about highest probability. So it goes with the real Sarah first. When that fails, it goes second best and mimics Sarah. If it was about glitches, it wouldn't have become Sarah at the end. This is pretty basic.
Not many people mention it but the future war scenes in T1 and T2 are an amazing way of showing how time travel affects time, in first move Resistance was hidding in dark, making small attacks from hidding agains single machines, in second movie Resistance knows way more about machines and now they are able to make open war in open field meaning future has already changed because of Kyle Reese actions in first movie.
Great work, it’s such a great movie, an epic sequel, and one of my favourites of all time. Thanks for reacting and reviewing, was fun watching you, watching it. Never when I viewed this over the years, including on laserdisk, did I think I enjoy viewing others watching it. 😂 I think it’s interesting in this one that Sarah becomes almost what she detests and fears. Interesting too how it’s humans that start the war be getting scared of Skynet’s rate of development, in that they try to ‘pull the plug’. Arnie may appear in the Dad role but it’s actually John who acts as the conduit between man and machine, his understanding and empathy points to how the future could work. And on that last point that’s what Sarah understands and explains at the end. Absolutely epic!
39:12 It doesn't matter if she heard him. She is well aware that the Terminator can imitate voices. There is no way in heaven or hell she'll stop running and turn around. 49:18 "Super conducting at room temperature." That does not mean it has to be at room temperature. Just that it is super conductive (0 electrical resistance) at room temperature (which means ~20°C/68°F as a default). For comparison; The most modern "High Temperature Super conductors" I heard about go super-conductive at around -80°C/-112°F, and -200°C/-330°F is the average ballpark for most High Temperature Superconductors. (To put it simple; "High Temperature" in this instance means that you can get away with something that is not liquified Helium as a coolant.) 1:10:16 After that Day, Hank Shraeder quit his job as a SWAT-Officer and requested a transfer to a much more relaxed Job at the DEA. (*SCNR*, but yes; That is Dean Norris.) 1:18:32 OK, this is a tad complicated; Nitrogen by itself can not burn. BUT; Nitrogen compounds can, as in; Nitrogen gets replaced by oxygen (or get released from semi-stable bonds) in those compounds. If there is Oxygen in the compound itself (or if the nitrogen has a decent enough energy surplus in its bonds to make it highly unbalanced, yet quite stable), that compound is usually referred to as "Highly explosive". But, Liquid nitrogen by itself; No, This can not burn, and we are not on a planet with suitable conditions for Nitrogen->Oxygen fusion either. So; It will boil off and freeze everything around it in the process.
So glad you watched the extended cut. That scene with Kyle is so good. The world building and showing Sarah’s ally’s and future members of the Resistance is so cool. And the underlying message of us being human and need to see that in each other, and the ending dialogue about a terminator being able to understand humanity has always hit hard. Really glad you both enjoyed this one
One detail I always liked, that nobody ever talks about, when Dyson is holding something over the detonator? The thing he's holding is a piece of the processor. He used Skynet to kill Skynet.
i like how you guys pick up on details the same way a director would. like how john and sara's background allows them to use weapons, the thinking and limitations of the T-1000, general continuity, etc. also that scene when the T-800 describes how skynet became self-aware was so cool
When the T1000 melts in with the other metal, it spreads out mixing with it. It can't be unmixed from it so it can't reform, even when the metal cools all the little metallic atoms of the T1000 are surrounded by regular metal, trapping it. In other words.... They win by turning an enemy into an alloy. :)
*The future of the human race is at stake* “He’s really risking it all, he could go to prison for the rest of his life”. I don’t think she realizes what’s at risk here.
The helicopter pilot during the freeway chase scene (Charles A. Tamburro) learned how to fly them during the Vietnam War and had almost no room for error. The crew originally assigned to fly the chopper refused to due to the immense risk involved. In response to Tamburro choosing to fly, James Cameron personally shot the sequence. Glad that you guys left your reactions in the video because a lot of reactors either skip it or skim through it.

@ReelRejects, love your reactions to terminator films, You guys should react to Sarah Connor Chronicles its only 2 Season and it fits in nicely between T2 and T3. It is really good.
😂 Roxy??? (21:18)
Helicopter chase scene wasn't a great stunt, the pilot died when he ran into the back of the truck.....and they kept it. The family sued.
Actor Robert Patrick worked for months with a real T-1000 in order to understand its movements, behavior, and ability to create stabbing weapons with its hands and arms.
he caught john the first couple of takes so he had to slow down
fucking shame about ed furlong but i will suggest a movie called jimmy and judy with him in it a indy thing. i cant find a copy anywhere so shout out if anyone can find it
shit its on tubi wow thats new check it out everyone
Very method
He even travelled through time so he could know what it is like. Dedication.
"Call to John" is not a plot hole. He can mimic voices, but he can not mimic the way someone talks until he hears them. When he talks to his foster mom she sounds like her, but the T1000 doesn't know that she's usually mean to John. So she sounds nice and he thinks it's odd. In the theatrical version, John doesn't look at T1000 Sarah's feet. He knows it's not his mom because she is presenting a weak and scared Sarah, but he knows his mother would never act like that. Because she never called to John the T1000 had to make a guess as to how she would sound when calling to John.
Yeh the whole foot glitch felt unnecessary and patronising anyone who's paying attention knows Sarah would never give up John's position by calling to him. She'd be far more likely to yell at him to escape and evade for his safety.
The whole Rejects channel is a plot hole... how come they even thought that there is a plot hole in T2 😅
Didn't notice that, thanks for pointing out.
Yeah the special Edition has some unnecessary scenes, i’d like an ultimate cut as blade runner
I believe is more of like he didn't interact a lot with her so he doesn't have the data to mimic her voice and plus, he was malfunctioning, so at the moment he wasn't copying well, that's the point of the feet part more than just not realizing how she acts
Rox, I can tell you now, as someone who suffers from CPTSD, if you have a moment like Sarah did when meeting Arnie for the first time when he comes out of the elevator, you're not hearing anything but white noise and your own heartbeat no matter how much John called out to his mother. Her acting in that scene (aswel as the rest of the movie) was utterly phenomonal.
Was looking for someone to point this out to her...
Honestly, even people without PTSD can understand that.
Roxy really doesn't get subtleties...
@@Dhairyasheel192also missed why the terminator would have Sarah call to John instead of doing it himself. 😒
@@_LexiMae the long and short of it was first to show the ruthlessness of the T-1000 to torture Sarah. It might not have been 100 percent after being frozen and reheated as it relies on software in its brain. Arnold as the T-800 says to John typically the subject copied is terminated. Typically which gives a bit of wiggle room in that it can decide to do so by its discretion.
@@chrismais I wrote this in another comment before, but i'll post it here too...
T-1000 vs SARAH plothole explained:
(Theatrical version) - There were MANY scenes removed toward the end which confused many audience members back in 1991, more specifically how John knew which Sarah was the right one. In the theatrical version, you do not see the T-1000's feet at the end... ever.
(Special Edition) - The additional scenes answered every single question audiences had without needing to explain anything with actual dialogue, mainly explaining the ripple effect going up the T-1000's body. This was an indicator that he'd possibly undergone some sort of malfunction since the incident with the liquid nitrogen crash. Once he'd reformed, he was clearly confused as to why his body was doing things he didn't want it to do once touching the guard rail, but even still, pressed on with his mission. It wasn't until he was faced with Sarah, that he'd come to a realization after the entire film's events leading up until now, including the most recent one, leading to his malfunction. The realisation being - that he couldn't get John on his own via visual replication anymore without having his body replicating the surface on the ground that he was touching, thus giving himself away. Eventually, this is what leads to his ultimate demise and what signals to John that the T-1000 was infact a replication of his mother.
In the end, the "plothole" only exists in the theatrical version, not this version. It's just not explained with spoken words. This is one of the reasons i personally love this movie so much. 30 years later and i'm still finding new stuff to love about it.
@@_LexiMae Just explained it in this lil comment bubble :) Feel free to have a look over. Would love to see what you have to say.
"Did she not hear John yelling 'Mom'"? Sarah already learned at great cost that Terminators can imitate voices to manipulate human emotions. Her own mother was killed in such a ploy if you recall when she and Reese hid at a hotel. That's why she never looks back.
The little details are amazing.
Yeah. Oh my gosh. The terror and devastation Sarah must've been going through, hearing John's voice from the direction of the Terminator. You can totally see the loss, terror, and vulnerability in Linda's performance
@@LukeLovesRose Exactly! Plus she knows that the foster parents have been killed and that John is missing so that Terminator imitating him is right on point for what it would do.
У левого существа аллергия на губах
My take on that scene was that Sarah was having a panic attack at that point, not expecting to see *that* Terminator walk right out the elevator in front of her. I doubt she heard John call out at all. Even when John was literally next to her, she was so focused on the T-800 that his presence didn't register at first.
@@marauderdz That's a good take too. This is why I like ambiguity in movies.
The first movie is brilliant, but this movie is frickin' _timeless._ It's aged so damn well.
It's dumbed down popcorn cheese. Exactly why the masses love it. $$$ Entertaining but so many flaws. How about the two casually dressed men walking into a clean room at the beginning? Don't need to list more.
"I have detailed files on human anatomy."
Also
"What's wrong with your eyes?"
Just terrible writing.
@@DrJohnnyFever.actually it’s good writing because they are trying to make an emotional moment, not be true to the “real world”. It’s about backwards time travel for fucks sake. lol
@@DrJohnnyFever.if you really wanna talk plot holes, why does the T-1000 ever mimic a human. He can literally be a disguised as the floor. It could be anything and just shoot a metal spike and kill anything. It’s about entertainment.
The scene of the T1000 chasing John out of the parking lot had to be done a few times
Because Robert Patrick kept catching up to the bike
Let that sink in
I've heard of this too. Robert was fast.
I remember James Cameron informed Robert to slow down when chasing Edward (John)
@@nerdydrawer7265 wow. I would believe it. That man can run
I think I read somewhere too that he practiced holding his breath while running to make it seem more robotic, since the T1000 wouldn't have to breath
@@scaryfstball100 because it is cool as fuck
Rox, you're thinking about the bomb sequence too literally, ya silly bean. The dream is simply a manifestation of extreme fear and guilt she feels over just knowing this is the future. Seeing herself with John in the playground is like an alternate reality where none of it happened, but she's stuck behind a wall in this reality, where the future is cold, harsh and bleak, watching her possible future and past be destroyed by the things she knows and fears.
God please bless these girls is all I'm gonna say.
It's the 'Cassandra' syndrome (a prophetess who was cursed to know and tell the future but not be believed by anybody so she went mad_).
Yes exactly, the dream represented her life if she hadn't have been commited and locked away, and basically buried her head in the sand as it were, there's regret because it's the life she would have preferred but in choosing that life, and never raising John to be humanity's saviour, the dark future would be solidified and all of them would die anyway.
These 2 are not very bright.
I wonder if they do it on purpose as it generates ALOT of comments, which from what a lot of creators say helps more than subscribing as it helps with the algorythem and theyre seen or recommended more than if she hadnt misunderstood.
What Robert Patrick did to prep for this role was amazing, especially how he was able to train himself to not blink when firing a weapon.
Doing that is actually not that hard. You just have to get used it and you can do it pretty easily. Its like not to panic when you get punched in the face.
Also he had a drug and alcohol problem when he was cast and had to get sober when prepping for the role
He was also already a runner and they had problems with him easily catching up too John on the bike 😂🤣😂🤣
@@gandalainsley6467it might not be hard but it does take ALOT of time to get used to it, for most people. Very few actors are able to do it. I know Clint Eastwood famously did it but it's pretty rare.
Patrick actually did blink one time in the hallway while shooting the pistol. lol It's the only time that I remember.
I didn't think about it until years later, but when Sarah initially went after Miles Dyson, she basically BECOMES a terminator...
That's Right
She became what she hated. The child was what saved him
On her approach after emptying her magazine on full auto, she walks right through a tree branch without blinking. She was a machine at that point. She was a Terminator. Perfectly executed! Linda was amazing.
I love how the movie inverts them; Sarah becomes more like a Terminator, the Terminator becomes more like a parent to John.
Well yeah. Sarah momentarily loses her humanity whilst the Terminator gains a sense of humanity.
It's kind of hard to get across just how unbelievably mind-blowing this movie was when it came out. It was the most epic thing anybody had ever seen. Especially 14 year-old me.
JURASSIC PARK and THE MATRIX had a similar sense of awe, as did FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING.
Undoubtedly one of the best action movies and movie sequels in history.
This is 100% the best action movie ever. Anytime someone brings up another I can't put it over T2, especially not the Directors Cut of T2 when they open up Arnold's head!
This version is horrible. I see now why they deleted those scenes.
Its's probably too late and Greg is locked in from constant use but "Undoubtably" is not a word. It's "Undoubtedly".
1:04:12 - A note about the Halon system: Halon is a fire suppression system that essentially eats oxygen. It's mostly used in file storages, server rooms, and anywhere else you wouldn't want to dump gallons of water. That said, as beings that are quite fond of oxygen, it's not great for humans to be in a room flooded with Halon.
The fire in the opening credits was 100% practical. It was the biggest baddest set on fire that ever existed, all shot in slow-mo, meaning it had to burn extremely long and got extremely hot. The crew called it "Cameron's Inferno".
Showing the rocking horses on fire represented the Four Horsemen of the apocalypse.
thank you for this Easter egg
@@KHAOE1Yes, and the burning swings represented all the swingers with chlamydia in LA at the time.
I love how this movie takes the first one and improves on it. Bad guy as protector, Sarah strong after years of training instead of helpless, new technology, expansion of the lore and the good guys going on the offensive.
It’s one of the few perfect sequels.
And adding a new Time Paradox : In T1John send his own father to rescue Sarah, in T2 is revealed that Skynet send his own "father" too
21:38 - Fun fact: Actor Robert Patrick ran track in college. For this film, he practiced sprinting with his mouth closed for weeks before filming began. He was so fast, that he kept catching up to the motorcycle. They had to keep re-shooting until the bike finally outran him. Now that's fast!
They actually had to tell him to slow down.
@@passionsquietrage That is true.
Funny how when we see John the first time he's listening to Guns and Roses, and when he meets the terminator he has a gun and roses
Good catch
I’ve seen that a thousand times and never thought of that.
They also did that for the guns and roses video soundtrack too if i remember
Yeah this film had some connections to guns and roses, and the Terminator carrying both in that scene was an intentional nod
Guns and Roses is/was Arnold's favorite band.
I figured he didn’t kill Sarah because his job isn’t to kill Sarah, and as long as she is alive he can use her as leverage to bring John back one way or another. The second he kills her and John knows, John has no reason not to run to the ends of the earth and maybe escape.
Great reaction! Merry Christmas!
The fact you had to explain that is 😂😂😂
I honestly appreciate you not blowing up my speakers/ear drums with the "Ring that bell" line.
For the scene Roxy thinks doesn't make sense, it does work, because he knew that copying the foster mom didn't work.
The actor in the mall with the camera who is in shock, is not only the same actor from the first movie who was the young cop that Arnold knocks out and steals his car. According to James Cameron, he is the same character. That's why everyone in the scene is surprised, but he's absolutely frozen in shock.
I just realized for the first time that you can hear that the shutter keeps clicking. So although he looks on in horror he also collects evidence probably because last time nobody believed him.
@@michaelklaus It's one of my favorite easter eggs in the movie. That, and the gas station they stay at is a "Benthic Petroleum" station. The oil company from The Abyss.
I watched this movie when I was 11 and understood most of the plot. These ladies are adorable, but sometimes they act like they don’t understand how movies work.
What did you expect? They didn't know the movie is called Judgement day at the beginning. I stopped the vid as I know where this was headed. These ladies wouldn't have a clue if someone put what is 1+1 = on a screen.
@Alejandro218, Isn't that odd as Tara's an actress, right?
I saw this masterpiece in theaters when I was 9 years old. It was the greatest movie-going experience of my life. The Terminator and T2 were my Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back.
@@mitchellmelkin4078exactly haha
prob had 50 vaccinations
Yes been waiting for this reaction!! Greg and John cameo❤Happy holidays Roxy, Tara and the rest of Reject Nation!!🎅🏽🎄
In this movie, there are two sets of twins: Linda Hamilton and her twin Leslie Hamilton Freas (1956-2020). Leslie appeared in the mirror scene where they reset Arnold’s chip and as Sarah in the playground during the nuclear bomb dream sequence. Additionally, twins Don and Dan Stanton portray a guard at Pescadero State Hospital, while the T-1000 imitates him.
Also at the end when the T1000 turns into Sarah Connor, that is also Leslie
Did Leslie also have to get ripped for this movie?
@ I don’t know but the photos that I have seen of the two of them together before Leslie passed they looked exactly the same, body shape and everything
@ if you slow down the shot of Leslie where T1000 is imitating Sarah Connor the arm muscles aren’t as defined as what Linda’s were
The Stanton twins were previously in Gremlins 2
Terminator 1 budget: $6 million
Terminator 2 budget: $100 million
You can definitely see it in the effects.
I'm so glad you talked about the "Extended scenes" and how they were cut from the theatrical release! I saw it in theaters, so you can imagine my confusion when I saw all these extra scenes that were not in the original release.
I have a photographic memory when it comes to films. So when I saw Sara attempt to smash the chip, or when the guard beat up Sara, I couldn't believe I had forgotten those scenes. Nope. My memory is 100% intact. I never saw these scenes before.
Thanks for another great reaction to one of the all time classic films.
Cyberdyne is located in Japan....
Skynet is a UK satellite defence system....
Self repairing alloys do exist....
Clone Alpha features synthetic organ systems, including skeletal, muscular, vascular, and nervous systems.
Alpha's movement is powered by artificial muscles fueled by water, making its gait eerily natural. With 164 degrees of freedom in its upper torso-20 in the shoulder alone, and a jaw-dropping 26 in the hand, wrist, and elbow.
Don't have nightmares............
Extended versions leave less to the imagination. I was much happier thinking the terminator becoming more human was purely from interacting with John.
Yeah, I like in the theatrical cut the exchange of dialogue in the garage, when the Terminator explains he is a learning computer, and then John says something about how he "won't act like such a dork all the time." There is an affection in that line, and it's missing in the extended version. I also like in the theatrical cut the implication that John has to go by instinct at the end that The T-1000 imitating his mother is NOT his mother. In the extended, that implied intuition is all gone.
I wouldn't even think that the change in the chip was wrong... But everything that happens in the metal factory with the T1000 glitching made it less effective I preferred the one where you didn't see the flaws
@@1975Rickson yeah it felt very slow, clunky, too much exposition for something very basic that could be assumed in the original anyway
Extended versions are almost always unnecessary and are usually made as a cash grab.
54:27 oh c’mon. It’s a nightmare, Roxy, not MCU time travel BS. Goddamn, metaphors are a thing. She’s not seeing the actual future of her having another kid and getting bombed, she’s seeing an innocent mother and child that she’s helpless to save. And wouldn’t you know it, that’s what she fears for herself and her actual son.
I was gonna say the same thing. They are too user to marvel and super hero movies. I saw this when it came out and no one ever misunderstood what Sarah's dream was or why John was little. It was a damn nightmare, a dream! Nightmares never make literal sense. It's your subconscious manifesting your fears and guilt etc
@@Xfactor444-x4n Also, given how different she looks in the nightmare, it's pretty clear that she's seeing herself as she would've been if she hadn't been targeted for termination, met Kyle, raised John, and had to prepare for war. She's seeing what could've been, not an alternate timeline or "the future" or whatever. In fact, if she's imagining a life that might've been had she not been caught up in all this, then that may not even have been John. Those could've been two kids from some other guy that she meets bc there was no reason for Kyle to ever come back, she'd never have met him, etc. She's dreaming about what Sarah Conner might've been if she wasn't the mother of the future and didn't know that bomb was coming.
And as y'all said, it's a metaphor for innocent lives being lost in the cataclysm to come if it's not stopped.
I physically watched the meaning of it sail over both of their heads…
Honestly they're both too in love with the sound of their own voices to actually pay more than rudimentary attention.
Yes. You can see that Sarah is wearing her waitress uniform. It's just a nightmare depiction of Sarah and a toddler John being oblivious to the coming holocaust.
What is the BEST sequel of all time??
RIP D2!😊
This One and Aliens
Empire strikes back
I'd say Top Gun: Macerick. It slaps.
@@DavidRay_40 love that movie
Oh my gawd what a Christmas present!!!!!!
Came here to say this 😂
That makes three of us my favorite movie ever and they are watching it. This one's going to be a banger
We're not doing Christmas this year
They should watch the Special Edition which is 2 hours and 33 minutes. The theatrical cut is 2h17m. There's also a "Special Extended Cut" (yep, a 3rd version) which has an alternate ending and is 2h36m. It's the same as Special, plus a few more scenes. Trust me, the additions are worth checking out, much like in Lord of the Rings. 😎
EDIT: I am watching this react at 13m50s and they have opted for the special cut! Nice!
Kyle's appearance in Sarah's dream is not in the theatrical one.
Also, it's worth pointing out in 2017 they digitally altered the movie, for a few scenes (like in the bike chase, they replaced the double with Arnold likeness). In 2017, too, they released the movie with a new color grading, which in my opinion is very, very bad (with teal and other issues with the remastering). However, the 2015 edition (which is the only one worth watching, if you are talking about official releases) is not good, either, with a magenta appearance like old DVDs (the new discs look greenish in a few shots). I had the opportunity of watching a regraded (fan) version of T2, plus two 35mm (4K) versions of T2's theatrical cut (not finalized, crude, but one of them good). And it's awesome.
EDIT2: they are also watching a pre-2017 version. The bike scene is unaltered in this react.
@@-Perene they say they're watching it 20 seconds in
39:08 "Did she not hear him say, 'Mom, wait'?" She heard him, but she didn't see John before he said it, and she knows that the Terminator can imitate voices. And, you know, she's in panic mode too, so she's not registering things logically.
What a surprise, Roxy taking everything way too literally and doesn’t realize what a metaphor is.
Or more simply of what a nightmare is and how it works
And kept bugging Tara with questions while she was just trying to watch and process what was happening in the movie
@@nikolaiyeoqty5261 I get it, you have questions and want answers, but yeah I could see Tara trying to focus haha
she had some nice reactions in this but also seemed a bit distracted, thinking about some other issues or just bored/aloof otherwise
Not a plot hole yall. He learned from imitating Jon’s foster parents that just imitating doesn’t work.
If it was a plot hole, then I guess the Terminators previously, repeatedly demonstrating that they FIRST tell people to give them clothes, weapons, bikes, etc. and then terminating IF they don't comply are also "plot holes."
Also, in this cut with extra scenes, we see the T1000 is continually glitching after reforming in the heated factory, so it might also know the probability of its replications for voices was as high/shaky as his shape shifting replications, so better to tell Sarah to call out first.
Thank you!!! Everyone keeps missing this, saying it's only because he's malfunctioning.
@@lareh5501no. It simply knew after the whole Max/Wolfie debacle that having the real Sarah call out was the option with higher probability for luring John. T-1000 learned quickly after the foster parents that a mistake was made.
@correypeta the Terminators "learning" is a point of debate based on the acceptance or ignoring of the logic introduced via the deleted scene of Sarah removing the chip or not. What's not debatable is Terminators have been repeatedly shown to state their demands FIRST and then take action depending on the answer.
T1: Terminator statements to weapons store owner, demanding/listing the weapons as first option rather than its first option being to terminate and take.
T2: Terminator demands to bar patron, telling him to give up his clothes & bike keys FIRST, rather than terminating and then taking.
Terminator demanding Sarah call out FIRST, before going the route of terminating her and taking her place falls in line with the programming logic seen up to that point.
Theatrical release Arnie said he learns as result of the chip (i.e. default functionality based on chip programming), so that _'could'_ therefore be base programming of future models; but the deleted scene required its chip removal & resetting... and one would have to assume that that failsafe was seen as faulty programming and then removed for later models.
@lareh5501 that isn't correct at all. Cameron himself said that the reason WHY he deleted the switching of the chip scene was because he didn't want to insult the intelligence of the audience and it slowed the movie.
We were supposed to be smart enough to know that John flipped that switch, and we can see John already beginning to teach him the next morning. So interpretation does NOT change based on whether this scene was added or not. We're supposed to KNOW that it happened.
Secondly, not sure why you made that list because it has nothing to do with the topic. Of course a Terminator will make a demand if it wants something, but there are plenty of times when the Terminator just KILLS.
The only reason Terminator had Sarah call out was because IT WAS THE BEST CHANCE OF CATCHING JOHN.
When that fails, he mimics Sarah and calls out for him. People who say "he needed to get a sample of Sarah calling out" is not correct, because he never got that sample!
1:24:08 Jon just talked with his foster mother for a few seconds and realized right away it wasn't her. Just because the t-1000 can replicate people doesn't mean you can't realize it's not them
Well you can when you know what’s going on, and have reason to suspect that a replacement could even be possible. If Arnie hadn’t contacted him yet John would think she was acting out if character but never would leap to “it’s not her”.
@interstellardave yeah, what's the point. John knows what's going on and has a reason to suspect. That's why t1000 tried to use Sarah in another way and not replicate her right away. Because he knew it probably wouldn't work
James Cameron was told by all his legal teams, aswel as folks on set, that they simply weren't going to do the helicopter scene due to safety concerns, among many other issues. So he shot it himself with a small number of people under his own time and dime because he felt like the shot was absolutely necessary. The 2 stunt pilots loved flying for such an iconic moment in cinema history.
Clearly everyone who told him they weren't doing it was dead wrong.
Has Edward Furlong done other movies? Yes. Who votes they both watch AMERICAN HISTORY X?
& Brainscan too 🤓
That'll be a better watch than the Crow movie he did. He did one of the sequels
Detroit Rock City, several Aerosmith music videos I think and a prison movie with Wilhelm Dafoe I forgot the title.
A funny thing, in the scene where the T-1000 is running after John on his motorcycle, Robert Patrick was told to run as fast as he can and in the first take he actually caught up to John! He was fast!
When the first Terminator came out Arnie had really just started out as an actor, by the time the second one was made he was THE BIGGEST action Star on the planet, they had to write him in as the hero of the sequel.
Arnold was several years into acting by the time the first Terminator came out. He started acting in 1970 with Hercules in New York. The first Terminator was the first movie after he began to make a name for himself with Conan, and T1 shot him into stardom.
He was toe-to-toe with Stallone & Willis for action stars by ‘92 when this came out, but again this shot him past all of them to the top.
Yeah it made sense to myself as a kid that Arnie was a hero this time. I never understand those who claim this trailer reveal was an upsetting spoiler
Lol The Terminator was his 5th or 6th film and his first film was Hecules in New York from 1969.
@@thepodbaydoorshal that's true, but he didn't really start making a name for himself as a viable option as a lead actor until Conan, which was only two years before Terminator.
@@charlesedwards2856 I know he had projects under his belt, but he wasn't true viable lead option until Conan really, so his career didn't really kick off until the early 80s. I am just saying that he was still green enough that he would take just about any main role he could at that time, versus the 90s when he was so popular that making him the hero of T2 was the obvious move.
21:15 I once read somewhere that actors who are cast to play a terminator have to go on like a terminator boot camp program where they are trained to drop any human traits such as smiling,frowning even right down to their breathing to make them more machine like.
1:00:42: I will always appreciate the level of cooperation and belief that Dyson and his wife both had, even after he got shot and almost hardcore murdered. Dyson and the Mrs. were the MVPs of the film…And he was definitely a G for that end👏🏾👏🏾✊🏾✊🏾
I like how in the TV series, the wife never blamed Sarah. She even helped her identify Miles' assistant.
Fun fact. The officer that gets stabbed by himself is being played by that actors brother. They did the same trick with Linda Hamilton and her twin sister as well. Really smart way to do things cheaper than CGI.
The simple concept of "no fate but what we make." Has tremendous meaning.... We are the drivers of our Fate. We as human beings are the ones who decide our Fate.... What we do now, will affect the future
which can cause panic attacks and drive a person mad if they don't know which decision to start with after breathing.
At 54:12 the director James Cameron had explained what was in the dream sequence, Sarah sees her old self from the first movie in the waitress outfit (if you pause to see it more closely), and the whole question was, what if the terminator had never come to 1984 to assassinate her back then. So what you see is Sarah Connor with her son in 1997 had the terminator never shown up and she would have been unaware of what was going to happen in the future where the nukes dropped with the intent to destroy all humanity.
When the Terminator killed the foster parents he didn't know the real name of the dog until he saw the collar. So he needed sara to call out for John because she would know things to say to get him to come. Killing Sara he wouldn't know details to get John to come.
Yes, thank you. People keep missing this.
Yup, that's what I was going to say. John already didn't buy his Janelle impersonation, so the T-1000 needed the real Sarah to know how to lure John including even if John didn't buy the impersonation the T-1000 had his real Mom as a hostage and John already demonstrated the lengths he'll go to save his Mom even putting himself in great danger.
The foster mother of john is also Vasques from Aliens😊also Linda Hamiton as a twiin sister in real life the dream of the park and the scene with two Sarah's near the end when 1T-1000 disguised as her was actualy her twiin sister.
Jenette Goldstein. She was also in Lethal Weapon 2; she was one of the team members of Riggs and Murtagh's that met an unfortunate end (the exploding diving board)...
And @tiagoalves2056 Linda Hamilton HAD a twin sister; Leslie Hamilton passed in 2020 thanks to cancer 😢
One of the best sequels in history Frfr 💯. And the conversation John has with the Terminator where he discovered that he has to do what John says especially when he kept asking why?? And during the first truck chase scene when the truck crashes you can actually see the practical dummy they used. Even with that it doesn't mess up this movie at all. Awesome reaction ladies Frfr 💯
I never saw this extended edition you're reacting to here, but I love the attitude he exposes at 45:33 and up through "...because if my own mother won't..." is amazing. (Love watching you two react together!! Roxy and Tara are the best!)
Linda was cool AF in this, total bad ass
If I’m remembering correctly, she was struggling with mental health during this movie, I think she suffered permanent hearing damage in one of her ears as well. She killed it though
Her son was an infant at this time too so she was caring for him as well
It’s a movie…… 😂
@@aj897 thank you captain obvious 👍
Molten steel is not lava. “Lava” is molten rock that breaches the surface (crust) of the earth. Below the surface, it’s referred to as “magma”.
no one actually cares
@@user-ch5qd3uz3l Wow so aggresive, did your dog stepped on lava or something?
@@elctm5151User is right. That's being real picky on what they were saying in the the heat of reacting.
The T1000 is still one of the best villains 💯 "call to John, I know this hurts"
I hope in MK1, when T1000 is released, he says that line when you do a brutality on your opponent.
*I know this hurt*
He also appeared in Wayne’s World and Last Action Hero lol
Gregs personal review from memory cameo was cool, nice to have a unique aspect to the review of one of his and one of mine and one of alot of our favourite movies 🙏🏾
I love watching these ladies because of how much they enjoy the movies they've never seen, but it is so hard to watch them sometimes.😂 There's some stuff that get so crazy wrong when it's very simply shown through context clues that it's hilarious. They're not the best with figuring stuff out if it's not specifically said in the movie but they're still enjoyable to watch. The t1000 can mimic people he touches but he doesn't know their mannerisms That's why John noticed his foster mom wasn't right and why the t1000 was telling Sarah to call to John because he couldn't properly mimic it. There's a chance that if she did he could probably do it after that after seeing how she did it but he was more than likely wanting to use her to do it.
Editors: "Bad to the Bone? Are you serious? That's so cliché, man!"
James Cameron: "I don't care. It's cool!"
Real dialog.
Never heard it in another movie anyway 🤷🏻♂️
@@dicekolev5360 Well, times were different back then. It has been used a lot during the 1980s.
What a Christmas present girls!!! IMO the greatest film ever made. It's big, loud, tense, emotional and the effects are incredible, and still hold up to this day. An absolute masterpiece that will never be bettered
1:24:00 - The liquid nitrogen broke him. That's also why he couldn't control replicating stuff he touched after he reformed. It's easy to show Arnold taking battle damage because he just loses skin and parts. So the T1000 can still do his stuff, but it takes him effort that it didn't before. That's why it took him a minute to eventually turn into Sarah.
That's not why. Although he was starting to malfunction, he could still mimic. He calculated that having Sarah call out gave him better odds since he blew it with Janelle, and he KNEW his mimic wasn't good enough.
@correypeta Yeah, god forbid he got the name wrong this time.
@matthewbertram4312 While getting the dogs name wrong is what blew it. They were on to him before that, John said that something was off because she's never that nice.
@@xevious21 exactly
People often say "How can there be a sequel when Arnold (Terminator) gets destroyed in the first movie?" It's not the same Terminator. Just like Toyota makes millions of Camry's, Skynet makes multiple Terminator models.
@@rwaa6931 right, Model 101 is a mould that can produce "Arnies". It is better displayed in one of the most Underrated teaser trailers of all time.
The S.M. Sterling Terminator books (which are canon) reveal that the Model 101 mould was Scuplted off an Austrian Agent named Dieter Von Rossbach.
27:46 Fun fact: the actress playing Johns foster mom, Jeanette Goldstein, also played the bad azz latina Marine in Aliens. Roles in two of the most successful sequels of all time!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! The rejects are reacting to my all time favorite movie!!!!!!
Sorry again, Roxy, but nitrogen by itself is NOT flammable. NOS (nitrous oxide, N2O) is because of the oxygen.
My guess is she was thinking about hydrogen.
Also Oxygen is not flammable but it is an accelerant which means it'll make a flammable substance burn much hotter.😉
She sounds like one of Bart Simpson's aunts.
1:16:51 " I hope the insurance covers this for the gardening guy!" 😂 This is why we love Roxy!
Ladies, please let's remember that her son is played by Eddie Furlong, teen heartthrob & his best friend is played by Danny Cooksey, from the late 80s/early 90s show "Salute Your Shorts" & the band, Bad 4 Good. Met Eddie at a comic convention & he was humbled that someone would still fan-girl over just a hug from him. We had some good conversation though.
Merry Christmas Rejects!
What a gift of a reaction. All time favourite sequel. My favourite element is the development of Sarah’s Character. At the end of the movie she mentions how a person could go crazy thinking about it all and led straight in to her story in this film exceptionally and authentically.
Definitely confused why they aren't confused as to why Arnold is helping John Connor during the mall rose box scene.
Yeah, first reactors I've seen who weren't shocked that Arnold was protecting John. Two different people not reacting to that is super weird. Different shared mentality, something you'd think wouldn't be a thing. It's a thing.
This movie is a part of the zeitgeist moreso than the first. People who have never seen these still know Arnie is the terminator, he's a good guy, hasta la vista. Then when they watch the first they're surprised and confused that he's the bad guy.
@herodaresfire4512 Yeah except that isn't what happened here.
Simple, not seen for the 1st time
Becaused they've seen the movie before. If you really believe the "reactors" in these reaction channels see these movies for the first time... man, you are in trouble and better change your saved passwords, haha
"If a machine, a Terminator can learn to value human life, maybe we can too"
No, demonstratively we can not.
Linda Hamilton‘s twin sister is named Leslie Hamilton and she is in the theatrical cut as well. She plays the version of Linda with the kids in the park before the nuclear explosion in her dream.
One of my favorite sequels, great reaction ladies! I love how Roxy's lipstick matches her nails. Merry Christmas! 😃🎄
That was a perfect Christmas gift to myself. It's fun watching that movie over and over again. It's so good but it's definitely the best with you guys. Plus it's the special edition. Nice job. 😊
"We're not gonna make it, are we? Humans."
"It's in your nature to destroy yourselves."
oof
1:54:00 - ROXY'S CONFUSION? - Roxy thinks the 'Arnie' terminator in 'T2:Judgment Day' is the same terminator from the first movie but from a different timeline. She doesn't seem to understand that these terminators are mass-produced in a factory.
Tbf in the original Reese talked about "possible futures"(plural) so Roxys speculation is plausible.
I think part of her problem is she has seen/talked about Dark Fate in a podcast. And that Arnie is from a different timeline in that so... her confusion is understandable.
Roxy Roxy Roxy.....whenever a scene or a concept in a movie requires a little critical thinking she's outta there 😅
It wears thin
A lot of people have brought up that he wasn't able to fool John just by imitating the foster parents so he wanted her to do it and I think that's a good point. I also think he was malfunctioning a bit from the liquid nitro incident. He wasn't able to hold or control his forms anymore so if he can get her to do it that's more likely to work.
I had watched T2 before watching the T1 but I never watched T2 special edition. This is my first time watching T2 special edition. And yes I loved T2 more than the T1. Watching T2 before T1 didn't affect my viewing experience. I loved this movie mainly more for the heart, emotion and human aspect around these robots.
All those scenes Greg was talking about which were cut in the movie (without the special edition) I saw them now the very first time.
Thank you so much Greg for putting out this special edition reaction, otherwise I wouldn't be able to watch the whole uncut movie coz I live in a remote area in India and its almost impossible to get special edition for this movie.
You know in terminator 2 judgment day there Is an alternate ending that like would’ve completely ended the franchise for no terminator sequels to be made, the ending involves Sarah who has gotten old and his son John all grown up and having a daughter in the future, where everything is as it should be and judgment day, never happened.
Yup that was perfect
I hate that ending makes zero sense .. John & Sarah would be n the FBIs most wanted list after the Hospital escape , attack on Dysons home & blowing up the Cyberdyne building
There would be no normal life after that
@@madroxmedia7482 both can happen. Like how she had the stockpile or weapons and she could be on the run with her friend lol
@@madroxmedia7482Yeah, that’s why the 3rd film, while obviously not as good as the first 2, needed to exist because it makes the storyline make sense-at least as much as time travel can. Sooner or later the tech would be created by someone and it had to, in order for it to come back from the future, and in order to explain John’s existence in the first place. The alternate “happy ending, and even the optimistic ending here, make viewers feel good but they create numerous contradictions in the timeline.
I remember watching it in cinema. Was clearly too young for the first one, but this one I've seen in the theater with my Dad. Even though nowadays I still like the dark, dirty and gritty first Terminator very much and might prefer the dark and depressed tone actually to the sequel, I was blown away at the time by this masterpiece. Rightfully considered as one of the best sequels ever made. Never seen before FX, a budget off scale with insane (for the time) action scenes. And even a tearjerker scene at the end - who knew that was coming. It was a real experience - less for my Dad though. He didn't think much of Arnold, he just came for me and I really appreciated that. Fun to see the "Guns'n'Roses" when the T-800 and the T-1000 first meet....since GnR did provide a song for the soundtrack.
Roxy's confidence whilst constantly being completely wrong is just plain weird. Fucking flammable liquid nitrogen?
I stayed up to 3:30am watching your video cause it was sooooooo good watching it with the two of you! First time viewer, but I will definitely be back! AWESOME channel and the two of you are fun watching movies with ... so glad you both enjoyed this movie as much as I did! It was totally awesome seeing this in the theater when it first came out and not knowing how movies in the future would use computer graphics to complete all this.
The "Why do you cry" moment I feel is so incredibly well acted and woefully underacknowledged. That whole scene leading up to the high fives is some of the most nuanced acting Arnold has ever done
An explanation for the t1000 needing Sarah to call out is because he hadn't heard her speak so he couldn't imitate her voice, the way she enunciate her words
No. That doesn't work because he ends up calling out anyway, still not having heard her call out. Although she had already screamed when stabbed.
He calculated that it was better to have real Sarah call since he blew it with Janelle. Pure calculation.
.. jj
In the Special Edition you see that he's actually glitching repeatedly, so my interpretation was that his ability to imitate effectively was compromised, so he asks Sarah to call out instead.
We then see this play out later when he attempts to imitate Sarah but John looks down and sees the T-1000's legs blending in with the floor, giving it away.
@LastRenegade but that isn't the reason. Of it were, the T-1000 wouldn't have THEN mimicked Sarah. If he's malfunctioning bad enough to make him stop mimicking, then he wouldn't have taken that option.
No. He's doing it because his mimic wasn't enough to fool John previously. John knew something was wrong.
Just like he did again at the end. John hesitates BEFORE he sees the terminator's feet.
@@correypeta It does work because he made her say a few words in order to copy her voice, he could already turn into Sarah's shape since the scene in the lift.
Well this is 1994, no one had robotic arms back then
T2 hit the big screen in 1991.
The arm was literally found in a production plant full of robotic arms.🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@muratveli I think he's talking about in the film, which I think is 1995
ROXY, they never say that Miles Dyson doesn't know what he's working on or that he's working on something nefarious. He says that when he asked where the weird tech they're studying came from, he was told "Don't ask." Like, you might assume that the tech was taken from a UFO crash or something. Their intent was just to learn from this otherworldly tech and use the knowledge they gained to create a very advanced neural net computer/AI thing, not something nefarious. Nobody was trying to blow up the world, least of all Miles. The only reason SkyNet became "bad" was because it became self-aware and decided humans were the problem. It wasn't inherently an evil project Dyson was working on; it was just a Frankenstein's monster situation (like most of these AI/robot/whatever apocalypse films, it's man's hubris resulting in a well-intentioned creation getting out of our control).
I love Tara's reactions! She's so expressive! Roxy is awesome too! Love the lipstick/boots combo! ❤
Robert Patrick was a track star in school & he trained hard to not blink while shooting a gun.
Merry Christmas to US for getting this video drop today! Yey!!! 🎄🎁🎁🎁
Their media literacy isn’t as good as they’re pretending it is. Maybe if they didn’t point out the obvious so much they’d catch more dialogue
Reason why T1000 was not just imitating Sarah's voice to call for John was the fact, that while he could perfectly copy her voice, but not the emotion. That is how before, during the phone call to the foster-parents Jon recognized that something did not check out.
I hope you guys do more reactions like this. Everyone has a favorite movie that someone else hasn’t seen yet. It makes the discussion after the reaction that much better and Gregg was clearly happy & excited to finally be able to talk about it onscreen with people who are seeing it fresh. It can be daunting to share why we love a thing in such an open forum but RR feels like the kinda crew that can handle it well. Hope to see more of you all talk about your favorite movies with some newbies.
Im sore Greg knows, but there is also a Extended Special Edition on most versions of the DVD and blu ray. You type in with your remotes number keys judgement Day- 829297. Theres two new scenes added, one is the T1000 searching the step parents house. The second is the original ending.
20:12 scene was homage to Arnold's favorite band Guns and Roses which you hear playing in an earlier scene.... literal guns and roses. And Linda Hamilton's twin sister was also playing the mother in the park, and played in the last scene where she tried to lure John as the T1000
As to that Guns and Roses scene it's interesting the reactors describe the damage inflicted on the T-1000 as (at 41:53) "it's like little metal flowers that pop up on him" which we first see in the 20:12 scene with the actual flowers. (Maybe the flowers symbolize the T-1000's unique powers and identity, just as the T-101's sun-glasses symbolize him being "bad to the bone," the toughest in town (9:48)...and so Arnold stepping on the roses, shows how he will be "crushing" this new bad guy in the next few scenes. Likewise the T-1000 later 'returns the favor' by stepping on and crushing (40:07) Arnold's sunglasses in the hospital hallway scene, signifying the T-101 is no longer ”the baddest” around... )
The reason the T1000 didnt terminate Sarah, was because he was malfunctioning after being frozen. Thats why he was glitching. You said it was amazing whoever flew that helicopter, well you actually saw him! He was the actual pilot of the helicopter in the film, and his name is Chuck Tambora. Hes one of the worlds greatest helicopter pilots. The CGI in this film revolutionised moviemaking. EVERYTHING you see today with modern CGI, is thanks to this film. One last thing, this came in 1991, not 1992. It was filmed from October 1990 to March 1991. It was released in July 1991. Great reactions to a legendary classic.
A very real and meta- depiction of a computer generated force that would get ”into" everything ... a Protean, all-mimicking, reality-reflecting, "can-be-everything" power of artificiality...from the future. (Regarding the CGI realizing the T-1000)
@JoeKawano Interesting.
No. That's not why.
He calculated that it was better to have real Sarah call since he blew it with Janelle. Pure calculation
@@correypeta No, he just made the mistake of believing the wrong name. In this instance, that wasn't happening. It's because he was glitching.
@peterlenham3180 no. It wasn't. The only reason why Arnold tested with the dog's name was because John noticed something was wrong. T-1000 can see that it gave the wrong name also because John suspected that something was wrong with Janelle.
The terminators are all about highest probability. So it goes with the real Sarah first.
When that fails, it goes second best and mimics Sarah. If it was about glitches, it wouldn't have become Sarah at the end.
This is pretty basic.
The " this is a movie and not real" disclamer is wild in 2024
Right?!
I’m always thinking these words everytime the disclaimer pops up:
”Yeah. No shit. . .”
James Cameron said himself that what they're creating now is much much scarier than what he created with the Terminator movies.
youtube likes to be strict sometimes. Reel Rejects are just covering their bases
Not many people mention it but the future war scenes in T1 and T2 are an amazing way of showing how time travel affects time, in first move Resistance was hidding in dark, making small attacks from hidding agains single machines, in second movie Resistance knows way more about machines and now they are able to make open war in open field meaning future has already changed because of Kyle Reese actions in first movie.
Great work, it’s such a great movie, an epic sequel, and one of my favourites of all time.
Thanks for reacting and reviewing, was fun watching you, watching it.
Never when I viewed this over the years, including on laserdisk, did I think I enjoy viewing others watching it. 😂
I think it’s interesting in this one that Sarah becomes almost what she detests and fears.
Interesting too how it’s humans that start the war be getting scared of Skynet’s rate of development, in that they try to ‘pull the plug’.
Arnie may appear in the Dad role but it’s actually John who acts as the conduit between man and machine, his understanding and empathy points to how the future could work.
And on that last point that’s what Sarah understands and explains at the end.
Absolutely epic!
39:12 It doesn't matter if she heard him. She is well aware that the Terminator can imitate voices. There is no way in heaven or hell she'll stop running and turn around.
49:18 "Super conducting at room temperature." That does not mean it has to be at room temperature. Just that it is super conductive (0 electrical resistance) at room temperature (which means ~20°C/68°F as a default). For comparison; The most modern "High Temperature Super conductors" I heard about go super-conductive at around -80°C/-112°F, and -200°C/-330°F is the average ballpark for most High Temperature Superconductors. (To put it simple; "High Temperature" in this instance means that you can get away with something that is not liquified Helium as a coolant.)
1:10:16 After that Day, Hank Shraeder quit his job as a SWAT-Officer and requested a transfer to a much more relaxed Job at the DEA. (*SCNR*, but yes; That is Dean Norris.)
1:18:32 OK, this is a tad complicated; Nitrogen by itself can not burn. BUT; Nitrogen compounds can, as in; Nitrogen gets replaced by oxygen (or get released from semi-stable bonds) in those compounds. If there is Oxygen in the compound itself (or if the nitrogen has a decent enough energy surplus in its bonds to make it highly unbalanced, yet quite stable), that compound is usually referred to as "Highly explosive". But, Liquid nitrogen by itself; No, This can not burn, and we are not on a planet with suitable conditions for Nitrogen->Oxygen fusion either. So; It will boil off and freeze everything around it in the process.
So glad you watched the extended cut. That scene with Kyle is so good. The world building and showing Sarah’s ally’s and future members of the Resistance is so cool. And the underlying message of us being human and need to see that in each other, and the ending dialogue about a terminator being able to understand humanity has always hit hard. Really glad you both enjoyed this one
The ONLY reactors and commentators who gave a heck about Dyson and displayed sadness over the demise of that husband and father.
Much respect, ladies.
One detail I always liked, that nobody ever talks about, when Dyson is holding something over the detonator? The thing he's holding is a piece of the processor. He used Skynet to kill Skynet.
Thanks for sharing your commentary on one of my favorite movies 😁
i like how you guys pick up on details the same way a director would. like how john and sara's background allows them to use weapons, the thinking and limitations of the T-1000, general continuity, etc. also that scene when the T-800 describes how skynet became self-aware was so cool
When the T1000 melts in with the other metal, it spreads out mixing with it. It can't be unmixed from it so it can't reform, even when the metal cools all the little metallic atoms of the T1000 are surrounded by regular metal, trapping it. In other words....
They win by turning an enemy into an alloy. :)
😆hurrrhurhurhurhurrrrrr
*The future of the human race is at stake*
“He’s really risking it all, he could go to prison for the rest of his life”. I don’t think she realizes what’s at risk here.
To the contrary she's putting herself in the characters shoes instead of allowing herself the "omniscient" audience/reactor perspective.
The helicopter pilot during the freeway chase scene (Charles A. Tamburro) learned how to fly them during the Vietnam War and had almost no room for error. The crew originally assigned to fly the chopper refused to due to the immense risk involved. In response to Tamburro choosing to fly, James Cameron personally shot the sequence.
Glad that you guys left your reactions in the video because a lot of reactors either skip it or skim through it.
The thing I love about this film is the fact that most of the practical special/make-up effects can still hold their own against modern CGI effects
