Over 30 years later, and I still keep coming back to this scene. Just one of the many iconic moments in this movie. 1991, we didn't know how good we had it. 💯
We did. Now there's nothing. Last movie I saw was War of the Worlds. Yeah thats right. There's nothing like this. Ok Jurassic Park, Star Trek but thats about the only ones.
I saw it in the theater in 1991. It was like shot after shot of pure adrenaline. The whole place was in a frenzy. At the time the only thing to compare it to, in terms of sheer thrills, was Temple of Doom in 1984. The thundering drums, the intense metal shrieking of the soundtrack, combined with the unrelenting action on screen, was absolutely beyond description.
Today's "standarts" are stupit cgi my friend! Just see the makeing of Dark fate - that car is cgi, that tree is cgi, that truck is also cgi ... Total bullshiiiit!
No one gives Brad Fiedel enough credit for creating an absolutley heart pounding score to go with this chase scene. The cinematrograohy is eyeball candy, while the music composition is adrenaline for the ears.
بالضبط تحية لك لقد قمت بمشاهدة هذه التحفة الرائعة في سنة 1992 مع صديق لي عند أسرته كنت فقط طفل صغير و كنت أكرر مشاهدته دون ملل و إلى الان كأنني سأشاهده لاول مرة
Considering that the T800 from the first film was damaged by the truck explosion, but T1000 literally walked it off is a nice way to send the message that this Terminator is even more durable and persistent than the last
@korawitbuttramee618 not just damaged but his flesh covering if not already too severely damaged to pass off human was now gone, HE HAD TO NOW DESTROY HIS TARGET blending in was now no longer an option. The T 1000 can still remain stealthy which he ends up being most of the movie.
@@korawitbuttramee618It only lost its flesh covering. The damage it sustained was from being thrown off its bike chasing Sarah & Kyle and then being run over by the same truck it would later hijack.
That moment when the T-1000 walks out from the flames in cibernetic shape was part of the history.....but made George Lucas took the decision of filming these horribles precuels.
The huge problems they had after making this masterpiece, was how to make a sequel that was better! Nothing they have made after this has even come close. This is just a pure masterclass in film making
At the theater in 1991, when the movie ended, people were frozen in their seats, seemingly too exhausted to move. The guy sitting right behind me said simply, "that was intense."
@@sotl7749 Yeah, I can speak for myself, at 14 years old I felt physically drained and exhausted. The phrase being "blown away" by a movie has never been more appropriate. I felt like I had been physically assaulted by the intensity of the movie. The guy sitting behind me just succinctly vocalized exactly what I was feeling. "That was intense." Up to then you would see people get up and leave as soon as a movie ended but here it seemed people were frozen in their seats, still processing what they had just seen or trying to recover from the experience. Roger Ebert has described the "bruised arm" movie and this was one of the most bruising.
@@jedijones it must be so phenomenal back in the day with you guys! Thanks for the description man, I feel the excitement just by reading how you feel Dang
I'm wondering if folks that have actually worked on making that scene read these comments sections once in a while. If so, I'd like to thank you for your brilliant work!!
3:25 I love this part so much. And the way the music victoriously swells up when he picks up Jon. Like you can sense the Terminator's inner computer confirming "Target Acquired". It always hits so hard. The T-800 really was like a father figure and Arnold Schwarzenegger was a symbol of strength for an entire generation. At least he was for me as a kid.
He was for me too, dude. him and Hulk Hogan. but mainly Arnie. Hogan told a story on Nickelodeon once about how he was a fat kid, and he wanted to turn his life around. so one day he said "enough of this" and did it. and that always hit home for me. like, it made me pursue MY dreams, and not give up just because shit was hard.
I remember when I saw it as a teenager, I was only 14 years old, I arrived late to the cinema the day it premiered in my city that summer of 1992, I remember it perfectly as if it were today, I was lucky that there was a free seat in the front row, I saw a a million times and I never get tired of seeing it in a million years it will still be like the first day James Cameron I thank you a million for filming this marvel with all my heart
Directors think they need tons of cars and explosions to make a great sequence. this sequence had 2 adults, 1 kid, a bike, a motorcycle, and a semi and it is one of the most epic action sequences in movie history
exactly. it's a crazy sci-fi action movie that is still grounded to reality, as weird as that sounds. it's like the first jurassic park that came out a few years later. both of those movies are crazy, sci-fi movies but the action sequences seem real, so you can put yourself in that situation, which is what makes it fun and terrifying at the same time. When the movie is this crazy unrealistic action extravaganza, it's fun to see a movie like that for the first times ever, but now all movies are like that and it's boring quickly.
That’s one reason I hate todays super hero movies. It’s like they lack anything in the way of a good story so they just throw in a bunch of overblown CGI action.
Fun fact, Robert Patrick never blinks in this movie when he is in T1000 mode. Only when he's pretending to be human at the start of the movie does he blink
@@bjrneirikstrkersen1021 yeah, he trained his breathing to be ridiculous for his scenes, so he didn't look human. Rewatch the scene when he starts chasing John Connor on the motorbike through the parking garage, the dude was so fast chasing him and not looking like he was breathing, they had to reshoot the take because he was so fast he actually caught UP to the motorbike
I remember the first time I saw this scene... was so blown away! This movie when it first came out was a huge blockbuster!! Still to this day one of the best action movies ever!
After 30 years I just think about this nonsense bullshit, here try to show a few gallon of diesel going to explode from a single spark?! 😂 Stupidity of hollywood never change
I remember as a young kid just watching the trailer on TV and thinking this is going to be the greatest movie ever. It seemed several levels above all other action movies. Not only it was then, it still is today.
For those who say Arnold isn't a good actor, check out how he cocks the shotgun. Arnold studied with weapons experts for months before T1 so he could learn to handle guns second nature. Robotically. Look at how he handles weapons in all the movies. T2 is an absolute gem. Solid diamond.
I wouldn't say he is a good actor. He is a good movie star. He is a brilliant man with natural charisma and a legendary work ethic. All that said, he can only do a certain range of movies. A guy like Chris Hemsworth is also huge, could do most of what Arnold could do but could also fit seamlessly in any number of legit dramas, like Rush or In the Heart of the Sea.
The shotgun twirling by Arnie and the one-handed shotgun cocking by Linda are so freaking epic in this movie. I've never seen another movie make guns look so cool.
Arnie actually used to get the skin between his thumb and forefinger caught during the reload. Not only was it painful but he also smacked Eddie a few times doing it, nearly knocking him out.....didn't do it hard enough if you ask me!
@@bunnylegion3969 Ah I’ve seen Robert Patrick in a fair few films after this, going from 1993, to 2006, all the way to 2015. But I’d definitely say he’s highly underrated, as he’s such a phenomenal actor.
@@bunnylegion3969 He wasn't in much else? Since T2, he's been in over 100 films and done tons of television shows. He's just been in the new Perry Mason tv show, Liam Neesons new film and he's gonna be in Walking Dead. He's had a ton of work over the last 30 years. The guys constantly in demand.
This is an example of a PERFECT movie. It cannot be remade. Robert Patrick gave me nightmares as a kid. We were in science class once when I was little and we were messing with ferrofluid (magnetic liquid) and when I saw it move it scared the shit out of me. Robert Patrick said a million things without having to say much at all. Classic.
I grew up watching this movie obsessively and the scene that always scared me wasn't even one with the T-1000 in it. It was at the end of the opening sequence when it shows the T-800 coming through the flames. For some reason when I was a toddler, I was always scared of two things when watching movies, that something could come out of the tv and get me, and when it was surrounded by flames. Don't ask, idk why lol
The three bits I love the most from this scene 1. The fact the Harley survived that drop off the ledge, that shows that was a high quality bike he was riding. 2. The way Arnie tries to get in front of thE lorry but the t1000 is blocking him, he sees an opening doesn't hesitate and gets straight through. 3. single handedly lifting john off the dirt bike and planting him in front so he could protect him. Class film that can never be remade.
The bike was suspended on a zip line like mechanism using airplane wire, so when it hit the ground the bike bounced like it only weighed about 90 pounds, the spark effect was added to show how heavy the terminator was, giving some mass to the being riding it
A 90s Harley Fatboy never would have survived that drop in one piece. I own one, it's got a heavy engine, a low profile and no suspension to speak of - a jump from that height would break it in half instantly. I believe in the movie they put it on a steel cable so it actually fell gently enough to LOOK like a hard impact.
the reason why this scene feels better than most high budget action nowadays is because everything in this scene is real . nothing is more scary and interesting than what happens in real life .
How many times do you notice a stunt double on the bike? How many cutaways do you see? No CGI or unnecessary explosions, but the only thing I feel about this scene is nostalgia.
This movie has some of the best chases in movie history. I loved this film then and love it even more now. T1000 traumatized me when I was a child. James Cameron you're the man!!!
Terminator 2, Lethal Weapon 4, The Rock and Matrix 2 had the best chase scenes. Matrix 2 came out 20 years ago and still nothing I remember has top it's chase scene.
The greatest villians are those, who walk SLOW and dont talk much. When they chase, they chase when they run, they run like hell. This movie showed us the ultimate villian.
Did you know that OJ Simpson was considered for the first Terminator but James Cameron decided that no one would believe that Orenthal could be a remorseless killing machine.

Maybe I'll write some stupid things, but Terminator Schwarzenegger is like Biden. And the liquid Terminator looks a bit like Putin. By the way, the flag of Russia is on the truck. And the boy, you guessed it, it's Zelensky. Dyson is Obama. By the way, Russia is not shown as an aggressor in this film. Russia was forced to use nuclear weapons against America. This film is a warning to all of us, from the past.
@@AhnSeoulo , I agree that the original True Grit wasn’t the best movie (Kim Darby ruined it) but the cool reload move was done by him in the showdown of that film.
It's crazy how well T2 holds up even in 2021... I love how a film in 1991 looks better than a lot of movies today. That's what happens when CGI oversaturates or entirely replaces live action in modern day action sequences.
@@lenol0315 Of course the story is awesome. I was talking about the live action special effects. They hold up well even today, and a lot better than in Terminator 1
Listen to the music from 03:00 onward, the build up to Arnold going off the edge and then the switch to the hero theme after he lands. Also notice when Arnold lifts John off his bike the 3 notes of the Terminator theme play. I also love the low camera angle down behind the motorbikes and truck. Such a great scene
It had to be customized to be spin-cocked like that. Otherwise, it could have been flip-cocked the way Bruce Campbell does at the end of 'Army of Darkness' (theatrical version).
@ELI BAILEY Only because he grabbed the wrong one. The one that was specifically customized for spin-cocking had the trigger guard cut off. How one overlooks a detail like that is quite beyond my capacity.
The music in this scene gets me everytime. It's almost Jaws like, but much more frantic and metallic, whereas Jaws was much more methodical build up. I love how it fades out when John thinks he might have escaped, before the truck launches off the bridge and when the top goes flying. Then immediately cuts back in when we see the T1000 come back
Also worth noting is the difference in the engine sounds. John's bike sounds fast but fragile, the truck sounds deep and menacing, and Arnold's bike sounds strong and safe. Truly the mark of a director who left no detail untouched.
Such an epic scene in an epic movie, Almost 5 mins with no real talking at all. The ones now a days would be forcing sh1tty jokes instead of letting the momentum build
@Christopher Marlowe James Cameron is not a hack. He has not directed a movie since 2009. Avatar wasn't bad, though I agree that it was overrated. I'm excited for Avatar 2, not because I'm an Avatar fan, but because it will be directed by the same guy who made Aliens, and Terminator 2. He is THE guy when it comes to nailing sequels.
They've made 4 subsequent Terminator films since that have tried to top it and they've all absolutely failed. This is god tier filmmaking and I don't just mean the special fx.
@@Brandon-lw1wx The CGI was ahead of its time, along with strong characterisation in a big action film. That wasn't seen in big action films then. Even now it's rare.
@@hemantapy yup someone accidently gave him a real version of the gun and when it came time for him to do that reload the gun got stuck and almost broke his hand the gun isn't meant to be reloaded like that it would be too heavy on your wrist lol
Arnold is an icon of masculinity, and the shotgun reloading on the bike really captures the essence of it. Badass, fearless, protector... efficiently eliminating any obstacle in his path.
The set-up for the bike jump at 3:06 is pure poetry. When you realize he is all out of room, and then the camera shot is at ground level as he jumps into the canal like a boss.
Damn I love it but I hate that square platform. In one shot it's pointed and then it's flat. I think for safety reasons they built a platform but James Cameron dude it's way too obvious surely he saw that on edit. If they went off at a point I think the bike would be wobbly as hell on the crane. Why couldn't they not show the point and just leave it as they made it with the square block? It might not bug other people watching it? I can't help but notice it every time. It would be THE perfect scene if it wasn't for that. Maybe if it's to do with 1991? The use of dolls and stuff in this film is insane and that's what makes it natural and not OTT with the CGI
I’m pretty sure we can all agree this scene takes the crown for the most badass action scene ever made. If you didn grow up in this era, you really missed out lol
The shot at 1:17 where the truck is crashing down into the ground with John in the foreground is one of my favorite action shots of all time. The sense of scale and "oh SHIT"ness of it is just absolutely perfection. God, Cameron is so damn good at this stuff.
I realized recently that this movie is one I can always watch. I can never get tired of it. The practical effects are a big part of why this is so good. No one will remember the details of the action in Avatar. This is unforgettable.
Well I think Avatar is great. But of course, if you compare that to T2.... I mean, T2 is perfect. Unbeatable. T1, T2, Abyss and Alies. Cameron was on fire.
Glass originally: Falling out. Glass remastered: Edited to not fall out. Perfect condition. Glass afterwards in both versions: shot and broken at multiple places. Damn. You have to Re-remaster it!
I love how John can take care of himself even If he's just a kid. If it wasn't the terminator but a regular cop he probably would have managed to escape. It really tells you how he must have struggled growing up till this point with her mum being held in a psychiatric detention facility and no father he could have relied on. I had loved his character, its complexity and evolution in this movie. Simply a masterpiece.
@@ninjavigilante5311 Yeah and while we're at it lets pretend that a boy that size can keep himself from falling off his bike after a truck that large going full speed just rammed him from behind not once but twice. lol the whole scene was BS but films like this are allowed to get away with it for some reason. Even an adult male wouldn't be able to keep himself from falling off a bike if a large truck rammed him from behind at full force. The way his body shook when the truck hit him looked like it barely touched him. My cousin almost had a bad accident once on a bike he's a lot bigger than John is not to mention the bike he was on was a sport bike not a dirt bike, and he was hit by a car and he still lost control over the bike. I mean why let the truck hit him at all if it barely did any damage to him or the motorcycle he was on? Its not like films should be entirely void of realism just because it's fiction. A dirt bike is like a regular bicycle only with an engine, if he was on an actual sport bike made for the streets he could have out ran the truck easily since a sports bike would be faster. lol now imagine a truck hitting you on a bicycle and you go AH! like you had an orgasm and kept on pedaling like nothing happened.
Terminator 2 and Matrix - The epitome of ground breaking action films. No other action movie till date has managed to surpass the timeless action defined by these 2 movies.
Actually there's always some "bleed-over" from previous decade in terms of the culture. I'd argue that Terminator 2 is the demarcation - the last good movie of the 80s and the first good movie of the 90s.
This scene, along with the initial part at the galleria and the scene at Pescadero hospital are simply stunning masterpieces in all aspects of film making. Among the most penetrating dialogues are "my mission is to protect you", and also where Sarah Connor describes how this machine will protect John more than any man ever could are just so warming and reassuring.

Today's "standarts" are stupit cgi my friend! Just see the makeing of Dark fate - that car is cgi, that tree is cgi, that truck is also cgi ... Total bullshiiiit!
Believe me it was the most outstanding chase scene I'd ever seen, this movie has several fantastic chase scenes.
No one gives Brad Fiedel enough credit for creating an absolutley heart pounding score to go with this chase scene.
The cinematrograohy is eyeball candy, while the music composition is adrenaline for the ears.
Had no clue Brad Fiedel did this. Pretty sure he worked on some of the music for the original Fright Night.
It's trying to sound horror but the movie isn't that
The score for the entire movie, let alone this chase sequence especially, is just amazing! 🏆
@@The_torerohe did the original as well.
Adam Greenberg was the cinematographer on the original as well.
This generation has no idea how legendary movie that was❤
بالضبط تحية لك لقد قمت بمشاهدة هذه التحفة الرائعة في سنة 1992 مع صديق لي عند أسرته كنت فقط طفل صغير و كنت أكرر مشاهدته دون ملل و إلى الان كأنني سأشاهده لاول مرة

To Bad for many it rhymes with stupidity
One of the most iconic scene in the history of world cinema.. We will never get to see movies like this anymore
What was so cool about that movie was Arnold played the "Good Guy" this time after being the "bad guy" in the first one. Brilliant.
@@LoneLee2022 Mad Max Fury Road was great as well.
@@kasimshaikh3750 You mean wahman road
it’s BECAUSE JESUS CHRIST, I mean James Cameron was unimpressed with the chase scene in Rambo: First Blood…HELLO?
Because men can no longer just be masculine in movies
I think the moment when the T-1000 walks out from the flames is one of the most iconic moments in the entire genre. I get chills every time!
Considering that the T800 from the first film was damaged by the truck explosion, but T1000 literally walked it off is a nice way to send the message that this Terminator is even more durable and persistent than the last
@korawitbuttramee618 not just damaged but his flesh covering if not already too severely damaged to pass off human was now gone, HE HAD TO NOW DESTROY HIS TARGET blending in was now no longer an option. The T 1000 can still remain stealthy which he ends up being most of the movie.
@@korawitbuttramee618It only lost its flesh covering.
The damage it sustained was from being thrown off its bike chasing Sarah & Kyle and then being run over by the same truck it would later hijack.
That moment when the T-1000 walks out from the flames in cibernetic shape was part of the history.....but made George Lucas took the decision of filming these horribles precuels.
for me it's the reloading of shotgun lols gives me chillssss
The huge problems they had after making this masterpiece, was how to make a sequel that was better! Nothing they have made after this has even come close. This is just a pure masterclass in film making
James Cameron. Duh

it's 2024 and I still love to rewatch this scene
At the theater in 1991, when the movie ended, people were frozen in their seats, seemingly too exhausted to move. The guy sitting right behind me said simply, "that was intense."
God Bless him for that.
wow, that good?
I wish I was there at 1991, I would never know the magic
@@sotl7749 Yeah, I can speak for myself, at 14 years old I felt physically drained and exhausted. The phrase being "blown away" by a movie has never been more appropriate. I felt like I had been physically assaulted by the intensity of the movie. The guy sitting behind me just succinctly vocalized exactly what I was feeling. "That was intense." Up to then you would see people get up and leave as soon as a movie ended but here it seemed people were frozen in their seats, still processing what they had just seen or trying to recover from the experience. Roger Ebert has described the "bruised arm" movie and this was one of the most bruising.
@@jedijones it must be so phenomenal back in the day with you guys!
Thanks for the description man, I feel the excitement just by reading how you feel

Right Brad, i never see something like this in other movies, I have also created a Terminator video, hope you will like it on my channel.
I'm wondering if folks that have actually worked on making that scene read these comments sections once in a while. If so, I'd like to thank you for your brilliant work!!
Can't count how many times me and my friend watched this movie growing up on VHS. A masterpiece of cinema.
Agreed
It's perfect
Me too
yeah. My folks ended up hiding the tape.
Found it anyway tho
with VCR i saw how the truck gets destroyed and they got to use another. frame by frame.
3:25 I love this part so much. And the way the music victoriously swells up when he picks up Jon. Like you can sense the Terminator's inner computer confirming "Target Acquired". It always hits so hard.
The T-800 really was like a father figure and Arnold Schwarzenegger was a symbol of strength for an entire generation. At least he was for me as a kid.
i heard some beeping lol
WHATS WRONG WITH YOUR EYES
Exactly when he picks up Jon, the first three notes of the Terminator main theme are played.
Me encanta!
He was for me too, dude. him and Hulk Hogan. but mainly Arnie.
Hogan told a story on Nickelodeon once about how he was a fat kid, and he wanted to turn his life around. so one day he said "enough of this" and did it. and that always hit home for me. like, it made me pursue MY dreams, and not give up just because shit was hard.

I remember when I saw it as a teenager, I was only 14 years old, I arrived late to the cinema the day it premiered in my city that summer of 1992, I remember it perfectly as if it were today, I was lucky that there was a free seat in the front row, I saw a a million times and I never get tired of seeing it in a million years it will still be like the first day James Cameron I thank you a million for filming this marvel with all my heart

Nobody of course...

It's like a fine old bottle of wine.
I had forgotten how awesome this scene was. The gun reloading, the motorcycle jump, the way he picks up the kid. Instant classic.
It was brilliant.
Just before he picks up the kid, he squeezes by the truck with a couple of centimeters to spare.

One of my all time favorite scenes!
This single action sequence is 10x better than 95% of Hollywood movies these days smh

Directors think they need tons of cars and explosions to make a great sequence. this sequence had 2 adults, 1 kid, a bike, a motorcycle, and a semi and it is one of the most epic action sequences in movie history
Don't forget the rusting car frame cameos! ;)
+ soundtrack
exactly. it's a crazy sci-fi action movie that is still grounded to reality, as weird as that sounds. it's like the first jurassic park that came out a few years later. both of those movies are crazy, sci-fi movies but the action sequences seem real, so you can put yourself in that situation, which is what makes it fun and terrifying at the same time. When the movie is this crazy unrealistic action extravaganza, it's fun to see a movie like that for the first times ever, but now all movies are like that and it's boring quickly.
That’s one reason I hate todays super hero movies. It’s like they lack anything in the way of a good story so they just throw in a bunch of overblown CGI action.
So true
Possibly and probably the best action scene in cinema history
Fun fact, Robert Patrick never blinks in this movie when he is in T1000 mode. Only when he's pretending to be human at the start of the movie does he blink
Interesting!
I think he blinks once when he fires a gun at one point and other than that he never blinks
i saw a little documentary about his casting in the film; dude is a legend for playing the T1000 as well as he did
Haven't noticed the blinking thing, but one thing I do know is that unless he speaks he never breathes.
@@bjrneirikstrkersen1021 yeah, he trained his breathing to be ridiculous for his scenes, so he didn't look human. Rewatch the scene when he starts chasing John Connor on the motorbike through the parking garage, the dude was so fast chasing him and not looking like he was breathing, they had to reshoot the take because he was so fast he actually caught UP to the motorbike
Still one of the best chase ever. Steady camera work, real stunts, no fancy fast cuts and overall good suspense.
Amen @Nicholas I still have to catch my breath even after a hundred rewatching
The chase scene in terminator 3 was damn good people always over look it
@BIGWORM 510 jack reacher car chase scene was amazing
Nicholas Chen they did the tow truck scene down the road from where I lived. My sister got to see it firsthand and said it was amazing!
BIGWORM 510 to be fair that was an homage to the T2 scene
I remember the first time I saw this scene... was so blown away! This movie when it first came out was a huge blockbuster!! Still to this day one of the best action movies ever!
O melhor
After 30 years I just think about this nonsense bullshit, here try to show a few gallon of diesel going to explode from a single spark?! 😂 Stupidity of hollywood never change
I remember as a young kid just watching the trailer on TV and thinking this is going to be the greatest movie ever. It seemed several levels above all other action movies. Not only it was then, it still is today.
JESUS CHRIST will come very soon! Repent!
The best
I got shivers just from watching it. That's how immersive and real it is compared to nowadays movies.
For those who say Arnold isn't a good actor, check out how he cocks the shotgun.
Arnold studied with weapons experts for months before T1 so he could learn to handle guns second nature. Robotically. Look at how he handles weapons in all the movies.
T2 is an absolute gem. Solid diamond.
He did well in kindergarten cop, True Lies, Jingle All the Way & some more. Good actor who came from body building.
I cock my shotgun like that all the time it’s easy you bot
I wouldn't say he is a good actor. He is a good movie star. He is a brilliant man with natural charisma and a legendary work ethic. All that said, he can only do a certain range of movies. A guy like Chris Hemsworth is also huge, could do most of what Arnold could do but could also fit seamlessly in any number of legit dramas, like Rush or In the Heart of the Sea.
Truly the best of all terminator movies imo
@@AntiNatalAtheistAnorld was very good actor but a limited one. He cannot do different kinds of roles but he is good in a few
The way Arnold reloads a shotgun.
John Wayne did that in true grit.
Q U A C K
My big brother loves that and he say's that is duty of all.
One of the most badass things ever
Its like spinning a hangar around and around
The shotgun flip reload is such a small thing really but it's still one of the most awesome and iconic things ever
The shotgun twirling by Arnie and the one-handed shotgun cocking by Linda are so freaking epic in this movie. I've never seen another movie make guns look so cool.
And did it with freakin left hand
John Wayne did it before, I learned that in another thread on this page, "Fill your hands you ..."
It's in free fire now..
Muzzled the kid tho 🤦🏿♂️
I just watched it for the first time. Im amazed how good this is. Knew Terminator 1-2 was loved but didnt expect it to be so spectacular 1-2 combo
I will never ever get tired of that shotgun reload, it's so satisfying
Shotgun reload ASMR
and when u know he broke fingers when he trained for it ..... even more satisfying ... not that he got hurt but the dedication
Arnie actually used to get the skin between his thumb and forefinger caught during the reload. Not only was it painful but he also smacked Eddie a few times doing it, nearly knocking him out.....didn't do it hard enough if you ask me!
Ohhhh yesss
As well as nearly breaking Arnold's hand, the 1887 went out of production, so they had to find one closest to an 1887
The cold look on the T1000’s face is just insane. What a phenomenal actor.
@@bunnylegion3969 Ah I’ve seen Robert Patrick in a fair few films after this, going from 1993, to 2006, all the way to 2015. But I’d definitely say he’s highly underrated, as he’s such a phenomenal actor.

@@redin575
A new world movie.
th-cam.com/video/1MaDAW0jRYM/w-d-xo.html

This is an example of a PERFECT movie. It cannot be remade. Robert Patrick gave me nightmares as a kid. We were in science class once when I was little and we were messing with ferrofluid (magnetic liquid) and when I saw it move it scared the shit out of me. Robert Patrick said a million things without having to say much at all. Classic.
The battery cable sparking the gas tank is the best finally we see the REASON cars blow up
I saw it on the theater a week or 2 after it came out. It was honestly the greatest cinematic experience of my whole life. Incredible film.
I grew up watching this movie obsessively and the scene that always scared me wasn't even one with the T-1000 in it. It was at the end of the opening sequence when it shows the T-800 coming through the flames. For some reason when I was a toddler, I was always scared of two things when watching movies, that something could come out of the tv and get me, and when it was surrounded by flames. Don't ask, idk why lol
@@jip3788 I feel you man, I feel you.✌🏾
I used to have nightmares about that black truck 😂😂❤️❤️ masterpiece
The three bits I love the most from this scene
1. The fact the Harley survived that drop off the ledge, that shows that was a high quality bike he was riding.
2. The way Arnie tries to get in front of thE lorry but the t1000 is blocking him, he sees an opening doesn't hesitate and gets straight through.
3. single handedly lifting john off the dirt bike and planting him in front so he could protect him.
Class film that can never be remade.
At 3:30, if you slow down, you can see the two stunt man. The John character is a 30 old dude.
They have done it really well.
If he was real, wouldn’t he weigh as much as the bike or more? I never thought about that until your comment lol
@@aftonsky Lol, I'm never goingt to unsee that now, haha.
The bike was suspended on a zip line like mechanism using airplane wire, so when it hit the ground the bike bounced like it only weighed about 90 pounds, the spark effect was added to show how heavy the terminator was, giving some mass to the being riding it
A 90s Harley Fatboy never would have survived that drop in one piece. I own one, it's got a heavy engine, a low profile and no suspension to speak of - a jump from that height would break it in half instantly.
I believe in the movie they put it on a steel cable so it actually fell gently enough to LOOK like a hard impact.
the reason why this scene feels better than most high budget action nowadays is because everything in this scene is real . nothing is more scary and interesting than what happens in real life .
Nowadays I only watch action films if Tom Cruise or Nolan are involved. If not they are garbage
How many times do you notice a stunt double on the bike? How many cutaways do you see? No CGI or unnecessary explosions, but the only thing I feel about this scene is nostalgia.
This movie has some of the best chases in movie history. I loved this film then and love it even more now. T1000 traumatized me when I was a child. James Cameron you're the man!!!
Fe
Do
Terminator 2, Lethal Weapon 4, The Rock and Matrix 2 had the best chase scenes. Matrix 2 came out 20 years ago and still nothing I remember has top it's chase scene.
Its kinda boring in hindsight but chase scenes need to be grounded to be good. Too much destruction/ stunts/ explosions makes it not believable
This movie still bangs after all these years!
The greatest villians are those, who walk SLOW and dont talk much. When they chase, they chase when they run, they run like hell.
This movie showed us the ultimate villian.

And the liquid Terminator looks a bit like Putin. By the way, the flag of Russia is on the truck. And the boy, you guessed it, it's Zelensky.
Dyson is Obama.

Listen to the music from 03:00 onward, the build up to Arnold going off the edge and then the switch to the hero theme after he lands. Also notice when Arnold lifts John off his bike the 3 notes of the Terminator theme play. I also love the low camera angle down behind the motorbikes and truck. Such a great scene

It had to be customized to be spin-cocked like that. Otherwise, it could have been flip-cocked the way Bruce Campbell does at the end of 'Army of Darkness' (theatrical version).
@ELI BAILEY Only because he grabbed the wrong one. The one that was specifically customized for spin-cocking had the trigger guard cut off. How one overlooks a detail like that is quite beyond my capacity.
@@judsongaiden9878 Heard he almost shot his foot during practice after grabbing the wrong one.

The music in this scene gets me everytime. It's almost Jaws like, but much more frantic and metallic, whereas Jaws was much more methodical build up. I love how it fades out when John thinks he might have escaped, before the truck launches off the bridge and when the top goes flying. Then immediately cuts back in when we see the T1000 come back
th-cam.com/video/4GZlTlYdPq4/w-d-xo.html
Also worth noting is the difference in the engine sounds. John's bike sounds fast but fragile, the truck sounds deep and menacing, and Arnold's bike sounds strong and safe.
Truly the mark of a director who left no detail untouched.
Also, the main motif kicks in (somewhat subtlety) after Arnold successfully rescues John.
@@09daniscool I read this as it happened fuck yes

The set-up for the bike jump at 3:06 is pure poetry. When you realize he is all out of room, and then the camera shot is at ground level as he jumps into the canal like a boss.

Ok Iknownothingaboutexplosives guy
We have same jump in GTA San Andreas 😁
@@vinodsamala8592 well obviously becauses its in los angeles ‘los santos is based on los angeles’
Damn I love it but I hate that square platform. In one shot it's pointed and then it's flat. I think for safety reasons they built a platform but James Cameron dude it's way too obvious surely he saw that on edit. If they went off at a point I think the bike would be wobbly as hell on the crane. Why couldn't they not show the point and just leave it as they made it with the square block? It might not bug other people watching it? I can't help but notice it every time.
It would be THE perfect scene if it wasn't for that. Maybe if it's to do with 1991? The use of dolls and stuff in this film is insane and that's what makes it natural and not OTT with the CGI
I’m pretty sure we can all agree this scene takes the crown for the most badass action scene ever made. If you didn grow up in this era, you really missed out lol
As amazing as it is, I think the escape from the mental hospital is even better, and it's in the same movie.
tobyvision Oof, you got me there. I totally agree
If there’s a better one is probably in this move too.
trolmusic true. I guess we can all agree this is the most badass action movie ever made lol
Boomer spotted
This movie is iconic
Hey young people, this is how action movies used to be.
And? What's so exciting about it? No city exploding, no dragons or spaceships.
Shut up you old dilapidated boomer
@@dropkick2224 I'm a Millennial. Chill the f**k out
@@spirittammyk thats un realistic
@@Batman-nr4en Time travel is realistic to you but dragons and spaceships aren't?
That shotgun reload trick was so satisfying to watch as a child
Still is
Thats not a shotgun thats a henry rifle stupid havent you played red dead 2?
Johnny who. The fuck. Do you think you’re talking to?
Johnny it is a shotgun my man😂
As a child... bruh its satifisfying every damn time you watch it... be it when you're 10 or 30
The shot at 1:17 where the truck is crashing down into the ground with John in the foreground is one of my favorite action shots of all time. The sense of scale and "oh SHIT"ness of it is just absolutely perfection. God, Cameron is so damn good at this stuff.

You spoke my mind man!!! truly the king of EPICNESS!! Thank You JIM!
And then along came Dark Fate so disappointing 😒
Back when terminator 1 and 2 were master piece films perfection beyond words dark fate 😑 really sucked a complete let down for the franchise
All the T-800 motorcycle scenes are so badass. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
James Cameron had created a brilliant movie with Terminator in 1984. But he not only topped it with the sequel, it's hand down the best action movie

Yeah it should've ended there
Yup.❤🏵️🧡
Arnold never looked more badass than he did riding a Harley decked out entirely in leather cocking a shotgun one-handed going at 100mph.
and no one ever will.
Conan and commando black camo scenes
THAT part!
The only exception is - the police station massacre in T1
When the Arnold the terminator spin his shotgun it's just same when the rifleman spins his winchester on the rifleman show!
This scene is probably the reason why you could fire a shotgun while riding a bike in GTA
Not every gta
No
I aggre
Blabla
Just buisness mission in gta San Andreas.
3:12 the Hero has arrived
Bruh I can’t believe they made los santos river into a real place
Mind Blown
This comment is underrated
@@shinomiyakaguya8965
Wrong.
GTA
@@hurricaneheli79 so?
I realized recently that this movie is one I can always watch. I can never get tired of it.
The practical effects are a big part of why this is so good.
No one will remember the details of the action in Avatar. This is unforgettable.
No one will remember the details of Avatar period.
@@BLZ231 I think it had blue people in it😂
Quite ironic since both movies were directed by the same guy
Guess that really proves the point. CGI just can't beat practical effects
Well I think Avatar is great. But of course, if you compare that to T2.... I mean, T2 is perfect. Unbeatable. T1, T2, Abyss and Alies. Cameron was on fire.
I remember the details of both Avatar films. And I am someone.
Don't spit opinions as facts.
This whole scene is a masterpiece
except for clearly not Arnie jumping the bike. Thats a bad makeup for stunt double.
lol they CGI his face in the remastered version. So it actually looks like him. Unlike the OG cinematic release.
The film sucks kid is annoying boring in the middle Cameron is an idiot
I completely disagree...
*THIS WHOLE MOVIE IS A MASTERPIECE!!!*
Except for the editing. Check out the windshield
Glass originally: Falling out.
Glass remastered: Edited to not fall out. Perfect condition.
Glass afterwards in both versions: shot and broken at multiple places.
Damn. You have to Re-remaster it!
I love how John can take care of himself even If he's just a kid. If it wasn't the terminator but a regular cop he probably would have managed to escape. It really tells you how he must have struggled growing up till this point with her mum being held in a psychiatric detention facility and no father he could have relied on. I had loved his character, its complexity and evolution in this movie. Simply a masterpiece.
A cop would have caught him, they are highly trained
This part is such b.s. because u know LA cops would be all over this chase scene in real life lol.
@@Bramblebush7 more trained than a high-tech robot with the just intention to harm him?
@@leonel392 Cops could easily box in a kid on a scrambler. Terminators are not as efficient as humans, that's why they lost the war.
@@ninjavigilante5311 Yeah and while we're at it lets pretend that a boy that size can keep himself from falling off his bike after a truck that large going full speed just rammed him from behind not once but twice. lol the whole scene was BS but films like this are allowed to get away with it for some reason. Even an adult male wouldn't be able to keep himself from falling off a bike if a large truck rammed him from behind at full force. The way his body shook when the truck hit him looked like it barely touched him. My cousin almost had a bad accident once on a bike he's a lot bigger than John is not to mention the bike he was on was a sport bike not a dirt bike, and he was hit by a car and he still lost control over the bike. I mean why let the truck hit him at all if it barely did any damage to him or the motorcycle he was on? Its not like films should be entirely void of realism just because it's fiction. A dirt bike is like a regular bicycle only with an engine, if he was on an actual sport bike made for the streets he could have out ran the truck easily since a sports bike would be faster. lol now imagine a truck hitting you on a bicycle and you go AH! like you had an orgasm and kept on pedaling like nothing happened.
Terminator 2 and Matrix - The epitome of ground breaking action films. No other action movie till date has managed to surpass the timeless action defined by these 2 movies.
The Matrix isn’t a bad film. But it can’t be used in the same sentence as T2.. lol
Blade 1998 as well
Terminator 2 is superior.
@@robroy6374 100%. It’s not even a question lol
@@TheZestySoul97 👍👍
The 90s was the best time for everything
Yes
The 80's and 90's goodtimes.
Ya man
Actually there's always some "bleed-over" from previous decade in terms of the culture. I'd argue that Terminator 2 is the demarcation - the last good movie of the 80s and the first good movie of the 90s.
Yes i totally agree with you.
This scene, along with the initial part at the galleria and the scene at Pescadero hospital are simply stunning masterpieces in all aspects of film making. Among the most penetrating dialogues are "my mission is to protect you", and also where Sarah Connor describes how this machine will protect John more than any man ever could are just so warming and reassuring.
Sad thing is that despite the amount of times Robert Patrick crashed the walls he's still a better driver than half the people driving today.

I wondered how much he paid to get to chase a kid on a motorcycle with a wrecker?
