Hello guys! I've seen this movie as a kid but on this rewatch, I didn't remember the plot or characters at all. I didn't even remember there was a kid. Just for context, this is what I remembered: (SPOILERS) -Arnie is a good guy -Some of the liquid special effects -Arnie dies in lava That's pretty much it! Hope you enjoy the video!
Your "final thoughts" was spot on. As much as this movie "predicted the future" and had a message........... it's amazing how accurate SOME of it is. I grew up during the "Cold War", and because of that, I prepared myself for the war we all saw coming back then. But as I'm now disabled physically, I'd just rather not even bother with it. Not that I am looking to "end myself" or anything... I want to live as long as I can. But if the "missiles fly", I'm close enough to a major target that it won't matter. Another movie suggestion (aside from the one in my main comment) that I have, is "The Day After". It was shown on television in 1983 (I think), and really "hit home" to many of us at the time. One of my teachers at the time, told us to watch the movie, and we would discuss it in class the next day.
Nice to see an Ergo Proxy reference, 45:12. It is my favorite post-apocalyptic dystopian/utopian anime. It's one of the best dubs in anime, imo. I don't think many people know this anime so you get an instant sub from me, high marks I say.
Please note when Robert Patrick runs, he doesn’t appear to breathe (I only discovered this very recently ago). According to scientists, this has the best depiction of a nuclear blast ever on a fictional film (I’ve not yet seen Oppenheimer). The halon system is a real fire extinguisher. I consider this one of the best films ever released regardless of genre
And they needed the gas masks for the Halon system since it would have asphyxiated them. Robert Patrick also devised his own method of running to make it look like a machine moving faster than a human could run.
Robert Patrick trained pretty hard at running. The final result was him being too fast. Multiple reshoots where he chases John on the dirt bike because he was catching him. So the scene we see is him running ‘slower’. And yes, Robert learned to breathe exclusively through his nose while running. Gives a non-human effect.
In Halon use you have about 3-15 minutes depending on the concentration of exposure. But if you breathe some in you'll end up with dizziness, irritation of the eyes/airways. You will most likely need to have oxygen therapy as you recover over a few days. Obviously if the room is completely flooded quickly you won't be able to breath, so you'll pass out and generally suffocate. A lot of other alternative systems are also generically referred to as Halon as well. HFC-227ea (under the brand FM200, FITECH 227, MH-227, SR-200) is common in high-end datacenters. Typically in places I've worked with these systems in rooms they have to have emergency equipment located directly outside the doors and large external exhaust systems to quickly evacuate all the gas outside in just a couple minutes. I've never actually seen a system go off, but I've worked in facilities where we've had to be trained if they did go off.
This is the extended cut where they restored the parts where we get to see that the T-1000 started to malfunction after being frozen. And the Kyle Reese dream scene.
Fun fact: The scenes where Linda Hamilton (Sarah Connor) is seen twice, there’s no visual effects. That’s her twin sister Leslie Hamilton. May she rest in peace.
When I used to watch these as a kid, I often assumed it was mostly all CGI, but after seeing the behind-the-scenes, it has a shocking amount of practical. The CGI used was revolutionary at the time too, but it's only when absolutely necessary like when the T-1000 is entirely liquid metal outside or for transitions. I think the heavy mix of practical with CGI is why it holds up so well. Also, the soundtrack still has some synthwave in there, but you're totally right that it's got a tonal shift. The first movie is a low budget horror whereas T2 is full on action movie, and the soundtracks reflect that well.
This is such an amazing movie. It has action, emotion, drama, character development, and so much more. It's just so good. I actually shed a tear at the end every time. That's great storytelling.
The scene where he shows miles Dyson his robotic arm really gave me the chills. The camera focuses on Dysons face looking an absolute dumbfounded Ness. Realizing the only other time he seen a robotic arm like that was at the lab along with the chip. He finally realized that the Terminator was real real
The special effects company that worked on this was George Lucas’ Industrial Light and Magic. Of course, it had begun from scratch with Star Wars in 1977.
A couple interesting things about Linda Hamilton in this movie. The scene where there was two Sarah Conners, one was played by Linda's twin sister Leslie. Also, in the elevator shootout scene, Linda forgot to wear her hearing protection resulting in her suffering permanent hearing loss.
If you haven’t watched it before, definitely give Robocop (1987) a go. Very good story and referenced in so much within pop culture. Also Robocop 2 if you enjoy it 😁
@@swanseauk may be your opinion but with many of these films have picked up a cult following after their run in the cinema. I agree it isn’t as polished and story driven as the first, but it sure is entertaining.
@@swanseauk Robocop 2 is certainly not a great movie. Not even good, I agree, just average and it won't ruin the original Robocop experience... now, Robocop 3 at the other hand, is what one would want to avoid at all costs
Dont forget Linda's amazing acting when she attacks Dyson. You can tell shes trying to hold back and be smart responsible in her shots. shot when shes forced to look Dyson in the eye, she sees him as a frail and weak human being with a family, and she cant hold onto her rage anymore. Shes overwhelmed. Linda was phenomenal in the role
@@LukeLovesRose The words "frail" and "weak" imply something different compared to "wounded." Kyle Reese was wounded quite a few times, but he was never "frail" nor "weak." Granted, I might be obsessing over semantics.
Well what she said at the start was “they sent back two terminators. One to strike at me. And another to strike at John himself when he was still a child.” So they wanted you to think the T-1000 was a human protector. Even though I think the trailers for the film ruined the twist haha.
How sad that trailers usually did that. I rather liked trailers like used in Back to the Future. Showed the star, the car and teased us without movie clips. Whereas BttF 3 just gave us the movie in the trailer.
Sarah Connor is one of, if not the, greatest female action characters ever. So strong and awesome, yet so flawed. She's a badass, but she's also human and relatable.
Unfortunately it seems Hollywood is going in an almost completely opposite direction these days. They are flawless, strong and better than men at everything from the beginning to end. So they don't evolve, no character development and no one can relate to them.
31:56 She looks so different because that is her twin sister, Leslie Hamilton. She's also the background Sara with the shotgun when the T-1000 imitates her.
You can see the progression in computer animation from Star Trek II's Genesis project to The Abyss to Terminator 2: Judgment Day to Jurassic Park to Star Wars, Episode I: The Phantom Menace to Beowulf to Avatar.
When Miles gets shot, and he's sitting there, hyperventilating, that's a punctured lung. It was added, because Joe Morton, who played Miles, had been in a car crash years before, which resulted in among other injuries, a punctured lung.
you can tell why editors are a good thing here. like many/most of cameron's movies, the director's cut contains a bunch of scenes that are not needed and/or hurt the pacing.
I actually have one of the earliest recorded reactions to this film ever. We were too young to see it at the time but our friend got us a bootleg VHS that was recorded in a packed cinema in 1991. You can hear people actually reacting to each scene as there was better audio coming from the audience than the film haha and heads popping in front of the cinema screen lol! It was a horrible way to watch the movie, but kind of interesting to see those OG reactions as they happened for the first time.
Director James Cameron intended for the Terminator Saga to end with Terminator 2. The greedy film studios decided to make a bunch of inferior sequels without James Cameron that ruins everything Sarah and John accomplished in Part 2.
T2 is arguably the greatest action movie and the greatest sequel ever made. For me and my generation, this was our Empire Strikes Back. It's just too bad that we never got a perfect Terminator trilogy.
I really like how you edited this reaction. By blurring off parts of the screen and letting the scene play out, you let the viewer follow the scene more naturally rather than go through too many jarring and abrupt cuts. Of course, we know the movie and the scenes by heart, but good editing is good editing and makes a reaction much easier to follow.
Thanks, but actually I didn't do the initial edit for this one, though I did make some adjustments to keep it from repeatedly getting manually blocked. I can't afford to pay this editor anymore, as he more than doubled his asking price right after this, so I'll keep that in mind when I edit the next ones. :)
As long as she talks about the movie, and turns some of the conversation into a education on how good the CGI is or how they did something. She is well protected by the fair use act, under educational purposes. Turing a movie into a somewhat educational chat while watching it, you can do 1hr/1/2. What kills people on copyright most of the time is failure to follow the fair act in the slightest, or they leave to much sound track to be heard during scenes. Music industry has heavy hands at watch, for music being played by second hand people while collecting "revenue". For this movie "bad to the bone" is a instant copy right killer, The rights to that song has a dedicated crew going around and flagging people lol. Sometimes TH-cam won't strike you down if they can successfully come up with a agreement with the copyright holder. What happens then is, you lose your Revenue on the video and TH-cam takes that and pays them off and keeps the rest. When i ran a Arcade, i had this issue with playing MTV over the speakers. MTV wanted me to pay them for the right to play music from their TV feed. Music always gets people :(. MTV did not care if i played the videos, just no sound lol. Damn that MTV, and look at them now... They play no music lol.
@@bunnytailsREACTSI've seen reactors in the past that didn't blurr any scenes without getting their reactions blocked. They just watched the important parts of the movie
Great reaction Bun! Waitress Sarah looks different because she was played by Linda Hamilton's identical twin. Notice that the her sister didn't have Linda's level of fitness, having not gone through the training. Sadly, Linda's sister passed away a few years ago of cancer.
I watched it in the theater when I was 13 with my mom and dad and it was an amazing experience. Another masterpiece by James Cameron. There’s an alternate ending that wasn’t shown in theaters.
I would have loved to watch this in theaters! I need friends who wanna see movies in theater with me... I think it's special to watch something like that.
@@bunnytailsREACTS Depending on the distance and how many rsvp (more than 10 so if a psycho sneaks in we can beat them off with our Candy boxes) we can set up a watch party. If it is in Texas or Florida everybody has guns so nut jobs turn all movies into westerns.
There were two sets of twins in this movie. The red head security guard and the T-1000 were played by Dan and Don Stanton. And Linda Hamilton and her twin sister Leslie (who sadly passed away in 2020) You see Leslie in the playground when Lind is yelling at her. You also see Leslie as the T-1000 when she and Linda are in the same shot.
I realize time travel is a fictional idea that may change its rules depending on the storyteller, but I would say that changing the future does not alter things that have already happened, such as John’s birth and everything that led to it in her timeline. I’d say that the point where she changes things creates a new timeline.
Yeah, some writers will take liberties with the rules for the sake of telling a better story (such as Back to the Future with stuff like photos changing in real time arbitrarily). However, I often think of time travel as either _traveling to_ or _creating_ a new dimension.
The truth is no one knows what happens. Traveling back through time is as yet a fairly fictional concept and the results of it are even more fictional as only thought experiments on the subject can take place. In the case of fictional works about time travel it's probably best not to worry about it one way or another and just enjoy the show.
@@GeorgeTropicana I think it is clear that we are talking about traveling to the past. Since it's pretty much the topic of the movie. Of course we are not traveling through time as many suggest into the future. We are traveling with time not ahead of it.
This made over $500 million during its theatrical run and won four Academy Awards. The story in this was continued in the 3D theme park attraction T2: Battle Across Time. The song playing on the boom box is "You Could Be Mine" by Guns'N'Roses, which is accompanied by a music video. Arnold Schwarzenegger, James Cameron and composer Brad Fidel followed this up with True Lies and T2: Battle Across Time
Cameron re-uses actors quite a bit. Jenette Goldstein (the foster Mom) is also Vasquez in Aliens, and a doomed third-class mom in Titanic. The red hair and freckles are real. She was in Hispanic makeup in Aliens, which is one reason that film is now flagged as non-PC.
She does have some Latino background. You can still have red hair and blue eyes and still be Hispanic. When Hollywood casts a Hispanic actor they are nearly always brown skin, brown eyes, and dark hair. Hollywood never casts a person from Mexico as being anything else, even though blonde hair and blue eyes are common enough.
Thanks for this reaction, Miss Bunny; I've been waiting to see it since your T1 video! An awesome reaction to one of the handful of sequels that is truly better than the original, and T1 was/is already pretty darn great! Fun Fact: The scene where the T-1000 (played by Robert Patrick) chases John while John is on his motorbike, had to be shot a few times, because Robert Patrick was naturally running so fast that he would easily catch up to the motorbike. 😄 Even during the scene where Robert Patrick is running after our crew while they were in a car, he would almost catch up to the car, and he wasn't even pushing himself that hard! The director had to keep telling him to slow down.😅 You might not believe that, if you see Robert Patrick nowadays, because he's in his mid-60's and has gained some weight, but he was quite athletic in his younger days, and he stayed in great shape for many decades. And, now that I think about it, the same could be said of both Arnold and Linda Hamilton... What a fit bunch of great actors, all in this one great movie!
Yeah... plus back in the day actors really had to train for action films because you couldn't really "get it in post" at the time. Actors had to train for months, go on strict diets, quit smoking learn how to do stunts with props and real practical firearms etc. I mean they still do, but not nearly as much as they had. I mean it really became prevalent between like "Iron Man" and "Iron Man 2" where Robert Downey Jr did months of training and the last Iron Man film and the last two "Avengers" movies.

I told my daughter when I showed her T2, that it was totally okay to cry at the end, because your dad damn well will. Uncle Bob's death gets me even after all these years since I first saw it as a kid.
BT, I want to thank you for making me feel like you invited me to you home, to sit on your couch and watch a movie with you like friends used to do. You didn't just get my subscription you earned it and I like the feeling of how friends used to interact together in past. I look forward to more of your movie content reviews Especially KHAAAAANNN! Sorry I was so serious I had to have a hopefully humorous comedy hiccup.
Dear bunnytails: It ain't over till it's over. In the 1950s we had nuclear strike drills once a month - it was called "duck and cover" and the city siren would sound. It sounded like the end of the world. We lived with the nuclear threat for decades.
"Man, she looks so different with her hair like that." Indeed. Also, it wasn't her. Literally, that wasn't Linda Hamilton in that shot. It was Leslie Gearren. The ultimate practical effect for having two of you on screen at once: use your twin. And Leslie had not buffed up, so looked much softer. Also Dan and Don Stanton.
"It's over, no more Skynet?" She thought it was over after T1, then she blew up a computer factory, and then two more Terminators. Like your outro explained, we keep setting ourselves up to destroy ourselves. We keep pushing back the date after each action but it never stops the coming doomsday.
Yeah, I know a lot of people like to say that there are really only two Terminator movies, implying that everything afterward is terrible. I don't necessarily disagree with the assessment of those other movies, but as far as the idea of an A.I. apocalypse being averted just because one guy changed his mind and destroyed his A.I research? Please. The events of the past few months alone have shown that humanity as a whole is speeding toward A.I. whether we like it or not. Multiple countries around the world have their own Miles Dyson equivalents and if one decides not to do it, that's just an advantage for the rest of them. lol
@@marcw6875 There is an alternate ending in one of the different cuts of this movie that skipped forward to an old sarah sitting in a park narrating about how the war against the machines never came to pass. The reason they changed the ending for the theatrical and extended cut is to keep the future ambiguous and leave an opening for future movies. So it's really up to the individual whether or not T3 onwards happen or not.
One thing a lot of people, even supposed hardcore fans don't seem to understand, is that the T-800 is the model of the robot skeleton, whilst the Model 101 is the skin on top. In other words, there's T-800s with at least 101 different looks, with the "Arnold" looking skin obviously being the 101st. The one you see in the flashback in the first movie, the one that infiltrates the resistance stronghold, would be a T-800 with another model of skin. It's the reason why they're such good infiltration units, because they could be anyone. As Kyle said, previous Terminators were easily spotted because they had rubber skin and other defects, but the T-800 was so advanced that they even had BO, so he had to wait in the nightclub for the Terminator to make its move before he acted.
Yes, the twin is the one on the playground. Also, the fat deputy sheriff and the liquid from-the-floor duplicate are twins. You can see them as Censors in Good Morning Vietnam.
Hi Bunnytails, it's great you could get this awesome movie uploaded, I loved your reactions to this and The first Terminator :) i've just watched them back to back. I liked your take and theories on these and they are the GOAT sci fi action thrillers. If you want to stay in the sci fi genre, I highly recommend the Back To The Future trilogy - if you''ve not seen them already. If you ever want to get into the war genre, I highly recommend the aerial warfare chapter of it and movies like Memphis Belle, Red Tails & Hannover Street (which has Harrison Ford in it) I enjoy your movie reactions and i'm subscribed :)
The worst thing about the film is that it fits so well into today's world. If we don't take extremely good care of artificial intelligence and take good regular measures, then eventually self-replicating robots could really destroy us.
Man just a couple of months ago there was a story about how the US military have been incorporating AI in so many areas and a USAF Colonel leaked how in simulations AI automated aircraft flew rings around human pilots and unbelievably, in simulation, drones are given tasks of flying recon and identifying known targets and communicating back to the human operator for for clearance to engage the target. Well the simulations give points to the AI for how it performs and if it succeeds in it's missions which is how the AI develops and a drone in one simulation when identified a target and called back to the operator, was not given clearance to bomb the target and the AI decided that it had to bomb the operator in order to successfully complete it's mission ! Talk about a Terminator/Skynet situation right there !
I'm so glad you don't censor your videos. I think a persons use of profanity and how they deliver it is essential to their character and individuality, lol.
Hi bunnytails a movie you probably should consider watching in this line up of 80s films is A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984) its a really great film I watched back when I was a wee lad at the age of 11 It has a very cool and downright creepy concept of If you die in your sleep you die for real which is very scary to think about but makes for an interesting plot.
A halon fire suppression system essentially displaces the oxygen in the room with halon gas. So people in the room suffocate, but there's no water to damage electronic equipment. I spent 10 years working in a computer room "protected" by a halon fire suppression system. Such a comfort to know that in the event of a fire, the equipment was more important to the company than I was.
So glad you watched the version with the better ending (theatrical ending). Sarah Connor has the perfect character arc in this movie. Linda Hamilton did a fantastic portrayal of her - including getting into top physical shape for the role. Sarah's PTSD drove her so hard she was becoming the very thing she was trying to fight against - a Terminator.
@@fyfyi6053 You are missing the metaphor. The Skynet AI was cold and heartless and driven to destroy what it saw as a threat to its goals, showing no compassion in the process. It programmed its 'minions' with the same ideology. Sarah was becoming cold and heartless. Driven to destroy what she saw as a threat to her goals, she was showing no compassion in the process. Sarah was not the leader of humanity, nor was she able to 'program' other humans to think as she did. Therefore the metaphor of Sarah behaving similar to a Terminator is more appropriate.
Beautiful, intelligent, and thoughtful reaction. Yes, time loop logic, sometimes also called a bootstrap paradox is complicated. I count only the first two movies. The rest seemed like Hollywood cash-grabs. Thank you.
That's the first time I've seen an Extended Cut with the original Sarah voiceover at the end instead of the all-hunky-dory future scene. Best of both worlds.
Many people fail to mention when sarah gets stabbed by the t1000 at the steel mill,the one buck shot she dropped would of been enough to make the t1000 but that wouldnt of left that epic last grenade launcher shot,still the best film of all time I could watch this on endless repeat,the music,the scenes,the emotional connection it gives you,just perfection!!
The reason those older movies are infinetely more memorable than 99% of anything movie industry spits out nowadays is that they not only were fun and creative, but they also called to universal values that most of us connect with like friendship, loyalty, parental love. These days all of that is widely disregarded by moviemakers and replaced with anything that is currently flavour of the moment, particularly polarizing political topics. Put simply, it is not made to stand a trial of time as its foundations are weak. Great reaction BunS, keep up the good work :)
The transition of Sarah from T1 to T2 is amazing and fits the story line perfectly. Her fighting style makes sense in context and her tactics are awesome. One of the examples of a strong female lead character before the term turned into what it's used it for today.
With respect you weren’t paying attention. They didn’t say John Connor sent two cyborgs. They said two protectors/warriors. And the first was Kyle in The Terminator, the second was the reprogrammed T-800 in this movie.
Have you've seen seen Chinese movies? I'm Chinese living in the US now. One of my favorite is Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. It's about a man giving up his wandering ways by giving up his sword. This is medieval China. While he gave up his sword to his friend, it was stolen. This is a legendary sword. It's alsout unrequited love. A more funny one is Shaolin Soccer. It's about a group of monks who rejoined the civilian world. However the monastery is in a lot of debt. In order to raise money, they decide to join a soccer tournament. Be ready for unique martial arts skills. Oh use the original dialogue with subtitles. The English dubbed sounds horrible and is filled with mistranslation.
was a track and field and football athlete at Bowling Green State University,he undertook a rigorous running regime and practiced breathing only through his nose, in order to appear to be a cyborg that could run at high speeds without showing fatigue. He had trained so hard that he was able to catch up to Edward Furlong on his dirt bike, so those running scenes were really him running fast.
The T1000 actor, he was a track runner in school or something. When he's chasing John on the dirt bike, he caught him twice. They altered the chase scene, eithermore room or less running speed, in order to make it seem believable.
Freaky Movie Trivia: After the movie was released, James Cameron received a letter from a group of nuclear physicist who said "Mr Cameron, thank you for Terminator 2 it has the most correct visual representation of the effect of a nuclear weapon ever put on film". James Cameron was both humbled and horrified by that 😳😲
1. Linda Hamilton must have been getting "Ah-nold time" to get ripped like that 😍🥰 2. My guess is that stove is hot🧐 3. We have limited AI now, so does China. 4. Arnold did many of his own stunts in this movie, including riding the motorcycle. At one point he was injured, and they had to stop production for a couple of weeks so he could recover. 5. Arnold is not left-handed, but the way he works that shotgun is impressive😱 6. "I need a vacation" was ad lib. 7. This is the action movie GOAT.
Ohh I used to love that show back in the day! And looking at a side by side of him in both of them, WOW!! That's super cool, thanks for pointing it out!
No. If you grew up in the 90's, you'd know this was total B.S., and whoever said that to you was/were either having some fun at your expense and seeing if you'd actually believe that nonsense, or just straight up lying to you because they're a-holes. And while the 90's were WAY more sexually open and adventurous than today's prudish society, when you're automatically considered a pervert and probably a rapist if you so much as say that someone looks good, licking someone was and is only okay in certain situations with a great amount of intimacy, and only when the person being licked wants to be.
I have to congratulate you on being the first ever reactor I've ever seen who noticed the T-1000 glitching out in the factory! Most people miss that. The repeated damage to it apparently f'ed up its metallic nanites. But it was still quite operational. :) As for the time paradoxes you mentioned that made your head spin; you're not alone. There are different theories about time travel, but mainly two: that things you do can affect the future, and another where things don't affect the future. In the first (single timeline) theory, if you somehow went back millions of years ago and killed a proto-butterfly, entire lines of creatures would never be and that would completely and instantly change your history. (Although, would you know it? 🤔) In multi-timeline theories, for every choice you make and everything you do, a temporal fork is created: one where that happened, and another where it didn't. Infinite numbers of forks eliminates paradoxes, because changes made in one fork don't affect the others. (There are arguments, though, about how/if/which fork is the one you experience. lol!) The "Terminator" movies use a combination of these paradoxes which is what gives you the headache. On the one hand, SkyNet is attempting to change its future by eliminating Sarah Conner at first, and later, John Conner, to prevent the human resistance from ever happening. This seems to indicate that the movies use the single-timeline theory. But then they have the "bootstrap paradox" where John Conner is fathered by a guy from the future, in which he wouldn't exist otherwise. Which seems to indicate the "infinite forks" theory of time. In any case, thinking about time travel is fun, although a bit headache-inducing. :)
Linda Hamilton (Sarah Connor) has a twin sister. In the mirror scene with Arnold, Hamilton's sister was standing in front with the back turned removing the things from the head while Hamilton was mimicking the movies with Arnold safe.
Before shooting began, Arnold and Cameron had dinner at restaurant with Linda Hamilto to see Arnold's reaction to her physical transformation. Arnold said "This M other F ----- is more cut than I am". She was proud to get that kind of praise from former Mr. Universe (bodybuilding) multiple years in a row.
That Cyborg that crushes the skull was a real creation by Stan Winston. Robert Patrick watched tapes of predatory animals to get the facial expressions.
A cyborg is a combination of human organism and robotics. The Terminator played by Arnold Schwarzenegger is a cyborg. The other evil Terminator is an android. I like the quote by Kyle "Fate is what we make for ourselves."
I think I had almost all the Amigas in college. I started my IT life with Apple II+ and eventually owned a //e and did a bunch of BASIC, pirating (300 baud through 28.8 in college), and even machine coded on it a bit (also ran a BBS). Amiga was like a breath of fresh air in the PC/MAC holy war.
I'm not generalizing here because I'm sure there are many orderlies and prison guards who are fine people that just took the job because it was the only thing they could get but I have a suspicion that the percentage of creeps is at least a little higher than it is among the general population, because what kind of people would be attracted to that job?
This was a great story and bookend to the first movie. It was awesome on the big screen! Love the reactions as always and totally agree with the statement “that we haven’t learned much”.
Remember to go with The Final Cut for “Blade Runner” This is the cut embraced by fans and director. The theatrical cut suffered from much studio interference and is majorly flawed. Later cuts fixed the many shortcomings and improved the film.
I've heard Cameron made the Terminator as a result of a recurring nightmare he was having. There's almost a mythical quality to the story. T2 is arguably one of the best movies ever made, not only because of its production quality, but from the pacing and characters. It's not perfect, but its flaws are really part of the usual story ask (this is what you have to just accept, and go with it). the guy playing the T-1000 (liquid metal terminator) was so dedicated to the part that he trained himself not to blink and to move robotically. Linda Hamilton, in both movies, is completely believable as an ordinary woman who was traumatized into becoming a hero. And my god, her reaction when she first sees the Arnold Terminator is so raw and believable. Really her whole performance is, even when it seems a little cheesy.
I graduated High School in 1987 and I grew up less than 20 miles away from SAC/Offut which would be ground zero in a full nuclear exchange. We grew up thinking we could be vaporized without notice. It affected us.
The depiction of a nuclear explosion is one of the most realistic in any movie. First the flash that burns everything, then the shockwave a little bit after that blows everything apart. It is terrifying because nukes are terrifying.
Linda Hamilton has a twin sister. So in some scenes such as in the mirror scene, they use one standing behind Arnold while another behind a dummy so it looks like Hamilton is really removing the top of Arnold's skull.
11:10 a faster thinking friend would say - “yeah that’s my buddy john, he just left about 10 minutes ago to go see our friend over in (suburb on other side of city)”…
Great reaction and I love that you watched the rare extended cut. To be clear though; in the prologue by Sarah Connor she talks about two 5ermjnators and two protectors. This is meant to include the terminator and Kyle Reese from the first movie. If you watch this movie closely, you were meant to assume that the T-1000 was the human protector and that Arnold is still playing the hunter all the way until Arnold drops the box of roses and tells John to ;"Get down". Granted it was the worst kept plot secret in Hollywood at the time but it is written and shot to mislead you up until that point.
Thanks! And unfortunately I did already know that Arnie was the protector in this one if you didn't see my pinned comment. It was still incredibly fun to watch, though.
@@bunnytailsREACTS Oh yeah, it was never a secret to anyone. The trailer gave it away and Arnold himself told anyone who would listen that he was a good Terminator this time while doing press junkets and talk show appearances. I just always found it ironic that the movie is clearly trying to mislead you and surprise you with this big reveal that pretty much the entire audience knows already.
Theres a lot of FX that look lile CGI but are practical... the "shotgun exploding head" T1000 in the hospital was done practically...his head comkng back together was CGI. If they could do it for real, they did it for real.
12:11 _The Terminator_ and _Terminator 2_ are both _thrillers._ In a good thriller, the conflict has to be character-vs-character, and contrary to popular wisdom, the _antagonist_ is the most important character. You have to get _them_ all fleshed out before you even _touch_ the protagonist. You have to make them _terrifying,_ _more_ powerful and seemingly _unstoppable._ We can see how _The Terminator_ fits this dynamic and _here,_ we can see how _this_ movie fits this dynamic as _well._ This is not just the T800 against _another_ terminator. It's the T800 against a much _better_ terminator.
For post-apocalypse story consider reacting to "The Stand". Based on Steven King miniseries (4 parts), 1994. Low budget but good acting and you don't need a lot of money to show post apocalyptic world. A new show "The Stand" was released in 2021. I don't recommended it.
I'm rly glad to see people watching this version of the film again - so much good shit was cut when Dark Fate came out, this is definitely the best version
LOL when you mentioned the abyss. Cameron wanted the t-1000 in the first terminator movie, but the tech for the CGI wasn't there yet. He wanted T2 to come out in 87 or 88, but still the tech wasn't good enough. He actually made the Abyss just as a test bed to see if the cgi is good enough, and you obviously saw that movie and the water aliens look nearly exactly like the t1000 metal. He saw it is good enough and two years later we got this movie. If a piece of metal like when they escape the hospital gets far enough away, like 15 miles, the piece would actually make itself into a rock or something and hide waiting for the t1000 to show up to be reabsorbed.
Hello guys! I've seen this movie as a kid but on this rewatch, I didn't remember the plot or characters at all. I didn't even remember there was a kid.
Just for context, this is what I remembered:
(SPOILERS)
-Arnie is a good guy
-Some of the liquid special effects
-Arnie dies in lava
That's pretty much it! Hope you enjoy the video!
Your "final thoughts" was spot on. As much as this movie "predicted the future" and had a message........... it's amazing how accurate SOME of it is. I grew up during the "Cold War", and because of that, I prepared myself for the war we all saw coming back then. But as I'm now disabled physically, I'd just rather not even bother with it. Not that I am looking to "end myself" or anything... I want to live as long as I can. But if the "missiles fly", I'm close enough to a major target that it won't matter.
Another movie suggestion (aside from the one in my main comment) that I have, is "The Day After". It was shown on television in 1983 (I think), and really "hit home" to many of us at the time. One of my teachers at the time, told us to watch the movie, and we would discuss it in class the next day.
Nice to see an Ergo Proxy reference, 45:12. It is my favorite post-apocalyptic dystopian/utopian anime. It's one of the best dubs in anime, imo. I don't think many people know this anime so you get an instant sub from me, high marks I say.
watch all terminator movies.

@@reacttomoviesvideosreactio4162 there are only two
Please note when Robert Patrick runs, he doesn’t appear to breathe (I only discovered this very recently ago). According to scientists, this has the best depiction of a nuclear blast ever on a fictional film (I’ve not yet seen Oppenheimer). The halon system is a real fire extinguisher. I consider this one of the best films ever released regardless of genre
Indeed
And they needed the gas masks for the Halon system since it would have asphyxiated them. Robert Patrick also devised his own method of running to make it look like a machine moving faster than a human could run.
Robert Patrick trained pretty hard at running. The final result was him being too fast. Multiple reshoots where he chases John on the dirt bike because he was catching him. So the scene we see is him running ‘slower’. And yes, Robert learned to breathe exclusively through his nose while running. Gives a non-human effect.
In Halon use you have about 3-15 minutes depending on the concentration of exposure. But if you breathe some in you'll end up with dizziness, irritation of the eyes/airways. You will most likely need to have oxygen therapy as you recover over a few days. Obviously if the room is completely flooded quickly you won't be able to breath, so you'll pass out and generally suffocate.
A lot of other alternative systems are also generically referred to as Halon as well. HFC-227ea (under the brand FM200, FITECH 227, MH-227, SR-200) is common in high-end datacenters. Typically in places I've worked with these systems in rooms they have to have emergency equipment located directly outside the doors and large external exhaust systems to quickly evacuate all the gas outside in just a couple minutes. I've never actually seen a system go off, but I've worked in facilities where we've had to be trained if they did go off.
Adam Jones, guitarist of the band Tool, was the special FX designer on the nuclear blast scenes.
This is the extended cut where they restored the parts where we get to see that the T-1000 started to malfunction after being frozen. And the Kyle Reese dream scene.
and the dog killing added.
And cpu remove sean
It's originally the special edition version
And with the added peaceful future scene it's the only cut of the film that should exist, honestly. That is the Ultimate edition.
@@stenspeed1 they used Linda Hamilton’s twin sister dressed in the same clothes for the scene.
Fun fact: The scenes where Linda Hamilton (Sarah Connor) is seen twice, there’s no visual effects. That’s her twin sister Leslie Hamilton. May she rest in peace.
The CGI was really groundbreaking. The T1000 walking out of the fire was talked about a lot at the time!
still is!
When I used to watch these as a kid, I often assumed it was mostly all CGI, but after seeing the behind-the-scenes, it has a shocking amount of practical. The CGI used was revolutionary at the time too, but it's only when absolutely necessary like when the T-1000 is entirely liquid metal outside or for transitions. I think the heavy mix of practical with CGI is why it holds up so well. Also, the soundtrack still has some synthwave in there, but you're totally right that it's got a tonal shift. The first movie is a low budget horror whereas T2 is full on action movie, and the soundtracks reflect that well.
That is also why the original Jurassic Park holds up so well. Top notch CGI, but not overly done and used physical effects, first.
This is such an amazing movie. It has action, emotion, drama, character development, and so much more. It's just so good. I actually shed a tear at the end every time. That's great storytelling.
Well said!
The scene where he shows miles Dyson his robotic arm really gave me the chills. The camera focuses on Dysons face looking an absolute dumbfounded Ness. Realizing the only other time he seen a robotic arm like that was at the lab along with the chip. He finally realized that the Terminator was real real
The special effects company that worked on this was George Lucas’ Industrial Light and Magic. Of course, it had begun from scratch with Star Wars in 1977.
A couple interesting things about Linda Hamilton in this movie. The scene where there was two Sarah Conners, one was played by Linda's twin sister Leslie. Also, in the elevator shootout scene, Linda forgot to wear her hearing protection resulting in her suffering permanent hearing loss.
If you haven’t watched it before, definitely give Robocop (1987) a go. Very good story and referenced in so much within pop culture.
Also Robocop 2 if you enjoy it 😁
I’ve added to my list!
@@bunnytailsREACTS Robocop is well worth a watch. One of the most entertaining (and thought provoking) movies of the '80's.
Do NOT watch Robocop 2...bloody awful movie
@@swanseauk may be your opinion but with many of these films have picked up a cult following after their run in the cinema. I agree it isn’t as polished and story driven as the first, but it sure is entertaining.
@@swanseauk Robocop 2 is certainly not a great movie. Not even good, I agree, just average and it won't ruin the original Robocop experience... now, Robocop 3 at the other hand, is what one would want to avoid at all costs
26:59 hands down some of the best acting I've ever seen. He really looks like a robot trying to "smile" based only on observation.
Dont forget Linda's amazing acting when she attacks Dyson. You can tell shes trying to hold back and be smart responsible in her shots. shot when shes forced to look Dyson in the eye, she sees him as a frail and weak human being with a family, and she cant hold onto her rage anymore. Shes overwhelmed. Linda was phenomenal in the role
@@LukeLovesRose He's neither "frail" nor "weak." Apart from his super-smarts, he's an everyday guy.
@@judsongaiden9878 After being shot?
@@LukeLovesRose The words "frail" and "weak" imply something different compared to "wounded." Kyle Reese was wounded quite a few times, but he was never "frail" nor "weak." Granted, I might be obsessing over semantics.
@@judsongaiden9878 You definitely are
Well what she said at the start was “they sent back two terminators. One to strike at me. And another to strike at John himself when he was still a child.” So they wanted you to think the T-1000 was a human protector. Even though I think the trailers for the film ruined the twist haha.
Thank you! Sometimes my mind just wanders even when I am trying to pay attention.
@@bunnytailsREACTS no worries! I am more than familiar with that as well lol. Technically you just figured it out early haha
How sad that trailers usually did that. I rather liked trailers like used in Back to the Future. Showed the star, the car and teased us without movie clips. Whereas BttF 3 just gave us the movie in the trailer.
thank you for putting in the extra work to make this reaction available
Sarah Connor is one of, if not the, greatest female action characters ever. So strong and awesome, yet so flawed. She's a badass, but she's also human and relatable.
Unfortunately it seems Hollywood is going in an almost completely opposite direction these days. They are flawless, strong and better than men at everything from the beginning to end. So they don't evolve, no character development and no one can relate to them.
31:56 She looks so different because that is her twin sister, Leslie Hamilton. She's also the background Sara with the shotgun when the T-1000 imitates her.
You can see the progression in computer animation from Star Trek II's Genesis project to The Abyss to Terminator 2: Judgment Day to Jurassic Park to Star Wars, Episode I: The Phantom Menace to Beowulf to Avatar.
When Miles gets shot, and he's sitting there, hyperventilating, that's a punctured lung. It was added, because Joe Morton, who played Miles, had been in a car crash years before, which resulted in among other injuries, a punctured lung.
you can tell why editors are a good thing here. like many/most of cameron's movies, the director's cut contains a bunch of scenes that are not needed and/or hurt the pacing.
Yeah I never saw the read only scene before and I don't really like it.
I actually have one of the earliest recorded reactions to this film ever.
We were too young to see it at the time but our friend got us a bootleg VHS that was recorded in a packed cinema in 1991.
You can hear people actually reacting to each scene as there was better audio coming from the audience than the film haha and heads popping in front of the cinema screen lol! It was a horrible way to watch the movie, but kind of interesting to see those OG reactions as they happened for the first time.
that'd be amazing to see
I saw T1 and T2 when they were released (T2 on the opening night) and the CGI was just mind boggling. I saw it 6 times in the cinema.
Director James Cameron intended for the Terminator Saga to end with Terminator 2. The greedy film studios decided to make a bunch of inferior sequels without James Cameron that ruins everything Sarah and John accomplished in Part 2.
T2 is arguably the greatest action movie and the greatest sequel ever made. For me and my generation, this was our Empire Strikes Back. It's just too bad that we never got a perfect Terminator trilogy.
I really like how you edited this reaction. By blurring off parts of the screen and letting the scene play out, you let the viewer follow the scene more naturally rather than go through too many jarring and abrupt cuts. Of course, we know the movie and the scenes by heart, but good editing is good editing and makes a reaction much easier to follow.
Thanks, but actually I didn't do the initial edit for this one, though I did make some adjustments to keep it from repeatedly getting manually blocked. I can't afford to pay this editor anymore, as he more than doubled his asking price right after this, so I'll keep that in mind when I edit the next ones. :)
As long as she talks about the movie, and turns some of the conversation into a education on how good the CGI is or how they did something. She is well protected by the fair use act, under educational purposes. Turing a movie into a somewhat educational chat while watching it, you can do 1hr/1/2. What kills people on copyright most of the time is failure to follow the fair act in the slightest, or they leave to much sound track to be heard during scenes. Music industry has heavy hands at watch, for music being played by second hand people while collecting "revenue". For this movie "bad to the bone" is a instant copy right killer, The rights to that song has a dedicated crew going around and flagging people lol. Sometimes TH-cam won't strike you down if they can successfully come up with a agreement with the copyright holder. What happens then is, you lose your Revenue on the video and TH-cam takes that and pays them off and keeps the rest. When i ran a Arcade, i had this issue with playing MTV over the speakers. MTV wanted me to pay them for the right to play music from their TV feed. Music always gets people :(. MTV did not care if i played the videos, just no sound lol. Damn that MTV, and look at them now... They play no music lol.
Yeah agree. It's anovel way to get around the fair use rules without taking your audience out of the experience.
@@lisamaitland157 MTV came after you because they had to deal with ASCAP, they are ruthless.
@@bunnytailsREACTSI've seen reactors in the past that didn't blurr any scenes without getting their reactions blocked. They just watched the important parts of the movie
Great reaction Bun! Waitress Sarah looks different because she was played by Linda Hamilton's identical twin. Notice that the her sister didn't have Linda's level of fitness, having not gone through the training. Sadly, Linda's sister passed away a few years ago of cancer.
I watched it in the theater when I was 13 with my mom and dad and it was an amazing experience. Another masterpiece by James Cameron. There’s an alternate ending that wasn’t shown in theaters.
I would have loved to watch this in theaters! I need friends who wanna see movies in theater with me... I think it's special to watch something like that.
@@bunnytailsREACTS Depending on the distance and how many rsvp (more than 10 so if a psycho sneaks in we can beat them off with our Candy boxes) we can set up a watch party. If it is in Texas or Florida everybody has guns so nut jobs turn all movies into westerns.
good reaction, now it's time for terminator 3 it's not as good as the previous ones but it's entertaining and it's not as bad as they say
There were two sets of twins in this movie. The red head security guard and the T-1000 were played by Dan and Don Stanton. And Linda Hamilton and her twin sister Leslie (who sadly passed away in 2020) You see Leslie in the playground when Lind is yelling at her. You also see Leslie as the T-1000 when she and Linda are in the same shot.
I realize time travel is a fictional idea that may change its rules depending on the storyteller, but I would say that changing the future does not alter things that have already happened, such as John’s birth and everything that led to it in her timeline. I’d say that the point where she changes things creates a new timeline.
Yeah, some writers will take liberties with the rules for the sake of telling a better story (such as Back to the Future with stuff like photos changing in real time arbitrarily). However, I often think of time travel as either _traveling to_ or _creating_ a new dimension.
The truth is no one knows what happens. Traveling back through time is as yet a fairly fictional concept and the results of it are even more fictional as only thought experiments on the subject can take place. In the case of fictional works about time travel it's probably best not to worry about it one way or another and just enjoy the show.
Going back through time is fictional, but traveling forward through time is very much real
@@GeorgeTropicana I think it is clear that we are talking about traveling to the past. Since it's pretty much the topic of the movie. Of course we are not traveling through time as many suggest into the future. We are traveling with time not ahead of it.
@@bafumat no shit you're talking about the past, I was just stating a fact
This made over $500 million during its theatrical run and won four Academy Awards. The story in this was continued in the 3D theme park attraction T2: Battle Across Time. The song playing on the boom box is "You Could Be Mine" by Guns'N'Roses, which is accompanied by a music video. Arnold Schwarzenegger, James Cameron and composer Brad Fidel followed this up with True Lies and T2: Battle Across Time
Cameron re-uses actors quite a bit.
Jenette Goldstein (the foster Mom) is also Vasquez in Aliens, and a doomed third-class mom in Titanic. The red hair and freckles are real. She was in Hispanic makeup in Aliens, which is one reason that film is now flagged as non-PC.
She does have some Latino background. You can still have red hair and blue eyes and still be Hispanic. When Hollywood casts a Hispanic actor they are nearly always brown skin, brown eyes, and dark hair. Hollywood never casts a person from Mexico as being anything else, even though blonde hair and blue eyes are common enough.
Loved her as Vazquez.
Thanks for this reaction, Miss Bunny; I've been waiting to see it since your T1 video! An awesome reaction to one of the handful of sequels that is truly better than the original, and T1 was/is already pretty darn great!
Fun Fact: The scene where the T-1000 (played by Robert Patrick) chases John while John is on his motorbike, had to be shot a few times, because Robert Patrick was naturally running so fast that he would easily catch up to the motorbike. 😄
Even during the scene where Robert Patrick is running after our crew while they were in a car, he would almost catch up to the car, and he wasn't even pushing himself that hard! The director had to keep telling him to slow down.😅
You might not believe that, if you see Robert Patrick nowadays, because he's in his mid-60's and has gained some weight, but he was quite athletic in his younger days, and he stayed in great shape for many decades.
And, now that I think about it, the same could be said of both Arnold and Linda Hamilton... What a fit bunch of great actors, all in this one great movie!
Yeah... plus back in the day actors really had to train for action films because you couldn't really "get it in post" at the time. Actors had to train for months, go on strict diets, quit smoking learn how to do stunts with props and real practical firearms etc. I mean they still do, but not nearly as much as they had. I mean it really became prevalent between like "Iron Man" and "Iron Man 2" where Robert Downey Jr did months of training and the last Iron Man film and the last two "Avengers" movies.
I told my daughter when I showed her T2, that it was totally okay to cry at the end, because your dad damn well will.
Uncle Bob's death gets me even after all these years since I first saw it as a kid.
BT, I want to thank you for making me feel like you invited me to you home, to sit on your couch and watch a movie with you like friends used to do. You didn't just get my subscription you earned it and I like the feeling of how friends used to interact together in past. I look forward to more of your movie content reviews Especially KHAAAAANNN! Sorry I was so serious I had to have a hopefully humorous comedy hiccup.
Dear bunnytails: It ain't over till it's over. In the 1950s we had nuclear strike drills once a month - it was called "duck and cover" and the city siren would sound. It sounded like the end of the world. We lived with the nuclear threat for decades.
Predator next please
More Schwarzenegger heaven
"Man, she looks so different with her hair like that." Indeed. Also, it wasn't her. Literally, that wasn't Linda Hamilton in that shot.
It was Leslie Gearren. The ultimate practical effect for having two of you on screen at once: use your twin. And Leslie had not buffed up, so looked much softer.
Also Dan and Don Stanton.
"It's over, no more Skynet?" She thought it was over after T1, then she blew up a computer factory, and then two more Terminators. Like your outro explained, we keep setting ourselves up to destroy ourselves. We keep pushing back the date after each action but it never stops the coming doomsday.
Yeah, I know a lot of people like to say that there are really only two Terminator movies, implying that everything afterward is terrible. I don't necessarily disagree with the assessment of those other movies, but as far as the idea of an A.I. apocalypse being averted just because one guy changed his mind and destroyed his A.I research? Please. The events of the past few months alone have shown that humanity as a whole is speeding toward A.I. whether we like it or not. Multiple countries around the world have their own Miles Dyson equivalents and if one decides not to do it, that's just an advantage for the rest of them. lol
@@marcw6875 That's what I meant. Like, we can't stop ourselves, it just gets delayed a bit with each time travel
@@marcw6875 There is an alternate ending in one of the different cuts of this movie that skipped forward to an old sarah sitting in a park narrating about how the war against the machines never came to pass. The reason they changed the ending for the theatrical and extended cut is to keep the future ambiguous and leave an opening for future movies. So it's really up to the individual whether or not T3 onwards happen or not.
One thing a lot of people, even supposed hardcore fans don't seem to understand, is that the T-800 is the model of the robot skeleton, whilst the Model 101 is the skin on top. In other words, there's T-800s with at least 101 different looks, with the "Arnold" looking skin obviously being the 101st. The one you see in the flashback in the first movie, the one that infiltrates the resistance stronghold, would be a T-800 with another model of skin. It's the reason why they're such good infiltration units, because they could be anyone. As Kyle said, previous Terminators were easily spotted because they had rubber skin and other defects, but the T-800 was so advanced that they even had BO, so he had to wait in the nightclub for the Terminator to make its move before he acted.
Linda Hamilton has a twin sister, in those shots where there are two of her and the one where they are removing the CPU they were both in it.
I was going to say the same thing about the nuked Sarah Conner.
Yes, the twin is the one on the playground.
Also, the fat deputy sheriff and the liquid from-the-floor duplicate are twins. You can see them as Censors in Good Morning Vietnam.
Yes!!! I was waiting for this reaction!
Hi Bunnytails, it's great you could get this awesome movie uploaded, I loved your reactions to this and The first Terminator :) i've just watched them back to back. I liked your take and theories on these and they are the GOAT sci fi action thrillers. If you want to stay in the sci fi genre, I highly recommend the Back To The Future trilogy - if you''ve not seen them already. If you ever want to get into the war genre, I highly recommend the aerial warfare chapter of it and movies like Memphis Belle, Red Tails & Hannover Street (which has Harrison Ford in it) I enjoy your movie reactions and i'm subscribed :)
As always, you're doing a great work, btw, I loved the Soul Reaver detail :D
The worst thing about the film is that it fits so well into today's world. If we don't take extremely good care of artificial intelligence and take good regular measures, then eventually self-replicating robots could really destroy us.
Man just a couple of months ago there was a story about how the US military have been incorporating AI in so many areas and a USAF Colonel leaked how in simulations AI automated aircraft flew rings around human pilots and unbelievably, in simulation, drones are given tasks of flying recon and identifying known targets and communicating back to the human operator for for clearance to engage the target. Well the simulations give points to the AI for how it performs and if it succeeds in it's missions which is how the AI develops and a drone in one simulation when identified a target and called back to the operator, was not given clearance to bomb the target and the AI decided that it had to bomb the operator in order to successfully complete it's mission !
Talk about a Terminator/Skynet situation right there !
not in our lifetime thankfully!
I'm so glad you don't censor your videos. I think a persons use of profanity and how they deliver it is essential to their character and individuality, lol.
Hi bunnytails a movie you probably should consider watching in this line up of 80s films is A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984) its a really great film I watched back when I was a wee lad at the age of 11 It has a very cool and downright creepy concept of If you die in your sleep you die for real which is very scary to think about but makes for an interesting plot.
Amazingly I've never seen this one! I'll add it to the list~
A halon fire suppression system essentially displaces the oxygen in the room with halon gas. So people in the room suffocate, but there's no water to damage electronic equipment. I spent 10 years working in a computer room "protected" by a halon fire suppression system. Such a comfort to know that in the event of a fire, the equipment was more important to the company than I was.
So glad you watched the version with the better ending (theatrical ending). Sarah Connor has the perfect character arc in this movie. Linda Hamilton did a fantastic portrayal of her - including getting into top physical shape for the role. Sarah's PTSD drove her so hard she was becoming the very thing she was trying to fight against - a Terminator.
Well technically she was trying to stop the ultra intelligent self aware AI computer named "skynet" from launching those nuclear bombs.
Not the terminators themselves.
Those are just his minions. His soldiers. Also built by people.
@@fyfyi6053 You are missing the metaphor.
The Skynet AI was cold and heartless and driven to destroy what it saw as a threat to its goals, showing no compassion in the process. It programmed its 'minions' with the same ideology.
Sarah was becoming cold and heartless. Driven to destroy what she saw as a threat to her goals, she was showing no compassion in the process.
Sarah was not the leader of humanity, nor was she able to 'program' other humans to think as she did. Therefore the metaphor of Sarah behaving similar to a Terminator is more appropriate.
Thanks for doing these movies and TV shows. I am loving your reactions.
You’re welcome!
Beautiful, intelligent, and thoughtful reaction. Yes, time loop logic, sometimes also called a bootstrap paradox is complicated. I count only the first two movies. The rest seemed like Hollywood cash-grabs. Thank you.
Thank you very much!
When the Arnold Terminator pulled the skin off his arm, the scientist recognized the mechanical arm as the one in his lab.
That's the first time I've seen an Extended Cut with the original Sarah voiceover at the end instead of the all-hunky-dory future scene. Best of both worlds.
I found it on Amazon Prime Video!
Good to hear.
Many people fail to mention when sarah gets stabbed by the t1000 at the steel mill,the one buck shot she dropped would of been enough to make the t1000 but that wouldnt of left that epic last grenade launcher shot,still the best film of all time I could watch this on endless repeat,the music,the scenes,the emotional connection it gives you,just perfection!!
The reason those older movies are infinetely more memorable than 99% of anything movie industry spits out nowadays is that they not only were fun and creative, but they also called to universal values that most of us connect with like friendship, loyalty, parental love. These days all of that is widely disregarded by moviemakers and replaced with anything that is currently flavour of the moment, particularly polarizing political topics. Put simply, it is not made to stand a trial of time as its foundations are weak.
Great reaction BunS, keep up the good work :)
The transition of Sarah from T1 to T2 is amazing and fits the story line perfectly. Her fighting style makes sense in context and her tactics are awesome. One of the examples of a strong female lead character before the term turned into what it's used it for today.
With respect you weren’t paying attention. They didn’t say John Connor sent two cyborgs. They said two protectors/warriors. And the first was Kyle in The Terminator, the second was the reprogrammed T-800 in this movie.
I’m enjoying your reactions because you seem to be keen to what is going on and talk it through.
Have you've seen seen Chinese movies? I'm Chinese living in the US now. One of my favorite is Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. It's about a man giving up his wandering ways by giving up his sword. This is medieval China. While he gave up his sword to his friend, it was stolen. This is a legendary sword. It's alsout unrequited love. A more funny one is Shaolin Soccer. It's about a group of monks who rejoined the civilian world. However the monastery is in a lot of debt. In order to raise money, they decide to join a soccer tournament. Be ready for unique martial arts skills. Oh use the original dialogue with subtitles. The English dubbed sounds horrible and is filled with mistranslation.
was a track and field and football athlete at Bowling Green State University,he undertook a rigorous running regime and practiced breathing only through his nose, in order to appear to be a cyborg that could run at high speeds without showing fatigue. He had trained so hard that he was able to catch up to Edward Furlong on his dirt bike, so those running scenes were really him running fast.
The T1000 actor, he was a track runner in school or something. When he's chasing John on the dirt bike, he caught him twice. They altered the chase scene, eithermore room or less running speed, in order to make it seem believable.
Ohhh interesting! Yeah his running style was pretty impressive!
YEAH ROBERT Patrick really trained on the running without blinking part THE BEAST
Linda Hamilton trained with Arnold for this role. She was buff as hell.
I love your termination reaction videos! What you said from 33 min mark to 33 min 45 sec mark was so insightful!
Thanks!
Your reaction to the abusive orderly was just GOLD
Freaky Movie Trivia: After the movie was released, James Cameron received a letter from a group of nuclear physicist who said "Mr Cameron, thank you for Terminator 2 it has the most correct visual representation of the effect of a nuclear weapon ever put on film". James Cameron was both humbled and horrified by that 😳😲
No fooling, gosh darn it 😮😮😮
1. Linda Hamilton must have been getting "Ah-nold time" to get ripped like that 😍🥰
2. My guess is that stove is hot🧐
3. We have limited AI now, so does China.
4. Arnold did many of his own stunts in this movie, including riding the motorcycle. At one point he was injured, and they had to stop production for a couple of weeks so he could recover.
5. Arnold is not left-handed, but the way he works that shotgun is impressive😱
6. "I need a vacation" was ad lib.
7. This is the action movie GOAT.
Thanks for the fun trivia! I love the bit about the ad libbed line!
“Billy” is actually “Bobby” Budnick of ‘Salute Your Shorts’.
Ohh I used to love that show back in the day! And looking at a side by side of him in both of them, WOW!! That's super cool, thanks for pointing it out!
I heard back in the 90's it was popular the "licking" in relationships or partners but i don't know 😂
No. If you grew up in the 90's, you'd know this was total B.S., and whoever said that to you was/were either having some fun at your expense and seeing if you'd actually believe that nonsense, or just straight up lying to you because they're a-holes.
And while the 90's were WAY more sexually open and adventurous than today's prudish society, when you're automatically considered a pervert and probably a rapist if you so much as say that someone looks good, licking someone was and is only okay in certain situations with a great amount of intimacy, and only when the person being licked wants to be.
If your next watch is “Blade Runner”, the next logical step would be “Blade Runner 2049”. As with T2, it is a more than worthy sequel.
That ending though. i remember crying my eyes out as a kid.
The closing dialogue is also chilling.
In addition to an intelligent and inspired reaction, beautiful words full of wisdom.
Thank you so much.
I have to congratulate you on being the first ever reactor I've ever seen who noticed the T-1000 glitching out in the factory! Most people miss that. The repeated damage to it apparently f'ed up its metallic nanites. But it was still quite operational. :)
As for the time paradoxes you mentioned that made your head spin; you're not alone. There are different theories about time travel, but mainly two: that things you do can affect the future, and another where things don't affect the future.
In the first (single timeline) theory, if you somehow went back millions of years ago and killed a proto-butterfly, entire lines of creatures would never be and that would completely and instantly change your history. (Although, would you know it? 🤔) In multi-timeline theories, for every choice you make and everything you do, a temporal fork is created: one where that happened, and another where it didn't. Infinite numbers of forks eliminates paradoxes, because changes made in one fork don't affect the others. (There are arguments, though, about how/if/which fork is the one you experience. lol!)
The "Terminator" movies use a combination of these paradoxes which is what gives you the headache. On the one hand, SkyNet is attempting to change its future by eliminating Sarah Conner at first, and later, John Conner, to prevent the human resistance from ever happening. This seems to indicate that the movies use the single-timeline theory. But then they have the "bootstrap paradox" where John Conner is fathered by a guy from the future, in which he wouldn't exist otherwise. Which seems to indicate the "infinite forks" theory of time.
In any case, thinking about time travel is fun, although a bit headache-inducing. :)
what a pleasure to re watch through your eyes and relive the "first time" experience!! thank you!!
Linda Hamilton (Sarah Connor) has a twin sister. In the mirror scene with Arnold, Hamilton's sister was standing in front with the back turned removing the things from the head while Hamilton was mimicking the movies with Arnold safe.
Before shooting began, Arnold and Cameron had dinner at restaurant with Linda Hamilto to see Arnold's reaction to her physical transformation. Arnold said "This M other F ----- is more cut than I am". She was proud to get that kind of praise from former Mr. Universe (bodybuilding) multiple years in a row.
This is really a great commentary, thanks!
That Cyborg that crushes the skull was a real creation by Stan Winston. Robert Patrick watched tapes of predatory animals to get the facial expressions.
A cyborg is a combination of human organism and robotics. The Terminator played by Arnold Schwarzenegger is a cyborg. The other evil Terminator is an android.
I like the quote by Kyle "Fate is what we make for ourselves."
I think I had almost all the Amigas in college. I started my IT life with Apple II+ and eventually owned a //e and did a bunch of BASIC, pirating (300 baud through 28.8 in college), and even machine coded on it a bit (also ran a BBS).
Amiga was like a breath of fresh air in the PC/MAC holy war.
I'm not generalizing here because I'm sure there are many orderlies and prison guards who are fine people that just took the job because it was the only thing they could get but I have a suspicion that the percentage of creeps is at least a little higher than it is among the general population, because what kind of people would be attracted to that job?
This was a great story and bookend to the first movie. It was awesome on the big screen! Love the reactions as always and totally agree with the statement “that we haven’t learned much”.
Remember to go with
The Final Cut for
“Blade Runner”
This is the cut embraced by fans and director.
The theatrical cut suffered from much studio interference and is majorly flawed.
Later cuts fixed the many shortcomings and improved the film.
Thank you! I've made a note of it.
I've heard Cameron made the Terminator as a result of a recurring nightmare he was having. There's almost a mythical quality to the story. T2 is arguably one of the best movies ever made, not only because of its production quality, but from the pacing and characters. It's not perfect, but its flaws are really part of the usual story ask (this is what you have to just accept, and go with it). the guy playing the T-1000 (liquid metal terminator) was so dedicated to the part that he trained himself not to blink and to move robotically. Linda Hamilton, in both movies, is completely believable as an ordinary woman who was traumatized into becoming a hero. And my god, her reaction when she first sees the Arnold Terminator is so raw and believable. Really her whole performance is, even when it seems a little cheesy.
trivia fact: According to Cameron, The Abyss was a kind of test for this, to see if they could do the liquid metal thing convincingly.
I graduated High School in 1987 and I grew up less than 20 miles away from SAC/Offut which would be ground zero in a full nuclear exchange. We grew up thinking we could be vaporized without notice.
It affected us.
Bunny said the exact quote from the 3rd Terminator movie "We need a new vehicle."
Kyle explained it when Dr. Silverman asked why Kyle never brought advanced future weapon technology with him
The depiction of a nuclear explosion is one of the most realistic in any movie. First the flash that burns everything, then the shockwave a little bit after that blows everything apart.
It is terrifying because nukes are terrifying.
Linda Hamilton has a twin sister. So in some scenes such as in the mirror scene, they use one standing behind Arnold while another behind a dummy so it looks like Hamilton is really removing the top of Arnold's skull.
Don't be so quick to accept responsibility for the decisions of a few psychopaths in control.
Indeed
11:10 a faster thinking friend would say - “yeah that’s my buddy john, he just left about 10 minutes ago to go see our friend over in (suburb on other side of city)”…
Great reaction and I love that you watched the rare extended cut. To be clear though; in the prologue by Sarah Connor she talks about two 5ermjnators and two protectors. This is meant to include the terminator and Kyle Reese from the first movie. If you watch this movie closely, you were meant to assume that the T-1000 was the human protector and that Arnold is still playing the hunter all the way until Arnold drops the box of roses and tells John to ;"Get down". Granted it was the worst kept plot secret in Hollywood at the time but it is written and shot to mislead you up until that point.
Thanks! And unfortunately I did already know that Arnie was the protector in this one if you didn't see my pinned comment. It was still incredibly fun to watch, though.
@@bunnytailsREACTS Oh yeah, it was never a secret to anyone. The trailer gave it away and Arnold himself told anyone who would listen that he was a good Terminator this time while doing press junkets and talk show appearances. I just always found it ironic that the movie is clearly trying to mislead you and surprise you with this big reveal that pretty much the entire audience knows already.
Wow wasn’t expecting an Ergo Proxy reference! I loved that show. And you’re right, that aiming pose really did look similar
Theres a lot of FX that look lile CGI but are practical... the "shotgun exploding head" T1000 in the hospital was done practically...his head comkng back together was CGI. If they could do it for real, they did it for real.
12:11 _The Terminator_ and _Terminator 2_ are both _thrillers._ In a good thriller, the conflict has to be character-vs-character, and contrary to popular wisdom, the _antagonist_ is the most important character. You have to get _them_ all fleshed out before you even _touch_ the protagonist. You have to make them _terrifying,_ _more_ powerful and seemingly _unstoppable._
We can see how _The Terminator_ fits this dynamic and _here,_ we can see how _this_ movie fits this dynamic as _well._ This is not just the T800 against _another_ terminator. It's the T800 against a much _better_ terminator.
The twirly gun loading was a tribute to John Wayne; he often showed that level of expertise in such films as The Searchers and Rooster Cogburn.
Terminator 2 is the masterpiece action movie standard by which every action movie is measured.
There were two sets of identical twins in this movie. The security guard at the mental institution, and Linda Hamilton’s twin.
For post-apocalypse story consider reacting to "The Stand". Based on Steven King miniseries (4 parts), 1994. Low budget but good acting and you don't need a lot of money to show post apocalyptic world.
A new show "The Stand" was released in 2021. I don't recommended it.
I'm rly glad to see people watching this version of the film again - so much good shit was cut when Dark Fate came out, this is definitely the best version
LOL when you mentioned the abyss. Cameron wanted the t-1000 in the first terminator movie, but the tech for the CGI wasn't there yet. He wanted T2 to come out in 87 or 88, but still the tech wasn't good enough. He actually made the Abyss just as a test bed to see if the cgi is good enough, and you obviously saw that movie and the water aliens look nearly exactly like the t1000 metal. He saw it is good enough and two years later we got this movie. If a piece of metal like when they escape the hospital gets far enough away, like 15 miles, the piece would actually make itself into a rock or something and hide waiting for the t1000 to show up to be reabsorbed.
