@@amandamiquilena too lazy to dig through the comments so I'll leave this here. This ending is an alternate one so if you want to watch the other movies, look for the theatrical ending so you won't be confused on how the story continues when you just saw everyone live happily ever after.
Well no official release has disclosed the budget, the best guesses not refuted by those involves was around 104 million at the time which would be closer to 242 million today. T1 is around 15 million adjusted. But T2 had about 25 million of the budget going to advertising- which is about 58 million today. Putting filming budget closer to 184.
@@flinx the laziness has no bounds! Too lazy to type and watch at the same time and too lazy to delete the comment after watching her watch the very thing I was suggesting she watch a few moments later... I will leave it as a monument for future generations to learn from 😅
Arnold’s metal skeleton is called a T-800. There are thousands of “skin coverings”; each looking like a different person. Any skin covering that looks like Arnold is a CSM-101(Cyberdyne Systems Model-101). A CSM-102 will look like someone else. A CSM-103 will look like someone else.
You explained almost exactly how I was going to explain about the different models. I don't remember if it was part 3 or 4 that they covered that. However You only answered part of the question of why the terminators look the same. You explained the story reason. But the actual real life reason for that storyline? So they could use Arnold for part 2, part 3, etc. I mean, Arnold is one of the most famous action movie stars EVER. Keeping him in the series makes $en$e.
The trailer also showed the model 101 being manufactured. I seem to remember James Cameron in an interview talking about how test audiences were confused both by another 101 appearing and by the twist of Arnold being good this time. It led them to focus on those points in the advertising, even ruining the reveal.
CSM-102 appears briefly in Terminator 1 during Kyle's Flashback in the tunnels. He's also the primary antagonist of Terminator Resistance. The CSM-102 T-800 is portrayed by Franco Columbo
Fun fact: one needs two hands to fly a helicopter. If you look closely, the T-1000 grows a third arm when flying the helicopter so it can keep shooting.
Yup... that's why there were only ever TWO films in the Terminator series. Some people claim otherwise... but they are just trrying to sell you on Hollywood cash-grabs with bad plots, hammy dialogue, and ever more convoluted timelines.
Because Judgement Day was inevitable. Its(that you cant actually prevent a pas event) covered in various articles about theoretical time travel. One of the reason Ill defend T3 to my grave. 4 was hit and miss with a terrible ending and the rest are just trash.
@@undertow5164 - No it wasn't inevitable. That was answered quite clearly in the first film: Sarah Connor : Are you saying it's from the future? Kyle Reese : One possible future... from your point of view. So that means after T2, Kyle Reese's future still exists, and he STILL saved Sarah and fathered John in 1984. However, after Judgment Day is stopped the timeline he came from would now be just an alternate future from a different timeline where that happened.
@@Mr.Ekshin The short lived TV series made for a better 'sequel' to T2; and that PC FPS game: Terminator:Resistance is a great dose of 'future war' (not to mention, the makers of the game really loved the franchise)./
There are two sets of identical twins in this film. The security guard at the vending machine was stabbed by the T1000 played by his brother, and when Sarah is working on Arnies head, they are not in fact looking into a mirror, Linda Hamiltons twin played her 'reflection'. No mirror, so no reflection of the camera in it. One of the cleverest shots ever imo.
I was 9 years old when my parents took me to see this masterpiece on the biggest screen in town. The theater had the greatest sound ever. When that endoskeleton crushed the skull, everyone jumped through the roof. T2 is one of the greatest movie-going experiences of my life.
Would be no point to a sequel to T2. The story has been told to its conclusion. But could you imagine if they did make more after T2!. They would either be boring watching Sarah and John live normal lives doing regular things, or they would be nonsense reconned money grab trash movies. Nope, best that it ended after T2.
@@etlttc353 Right,T3 was the perfect end. If They manage to stop the Judgement Day, they won't be a possible for John in the future to sent his father back in time to met his mother in 1984, and he won't exist. He exist because of the war happen in the future, that make he exist. Other Terminator movie after T3 is useless. Salvation is just a story about what happen in the future. Those 4 film is matters to each other.
54:57 That's part of Cameron's genius. That he can get you screaming at the screen "Will that thing *ever* die??!!" in one movie and crying "NOOO!" over it's demise in the very next.
The woman who played John’s foster mom, Jeanette Goldstein, also played Pvt. Vasquez in ‘Aliens’ and the Irish mom putting the children to bed as the ship was sinking in ‘Titanic’.
5:58 - the same reason your phone looks exactly like a million other phones: it was made on an assembly line. Sure, they'd need a variety of appearances overall, otherwise people would be able to identify the infiltration units by sight. But you could still have thousands of identical copies without issue. T2 struck a really good balance between the use of practical effects and CGI, something that modern movies should take note of.
The thing I most appreciate about this movie (and Aliens) is that they aren’t typical sequels that rehash the first movie, making the same jokes or referencing the same moments. Instead, Cameron imagines what might happen next and tells a true continuation of the story. Characters change and evolve (Sarah is a legend here) and the plot progresses! These early James Cameron movies are his best imo.
@@gavinsheridan4680 But callbacks, not rehashes. Many sequels are nothing more than a series of "I remember that bit!" moments. Very lazy. Also, T1 was better than T2. 😉
It’s a shame they never made a third terminator movie or a third alien movie. Never never never. But then, a movie about Ellen Ripley raising Newt and marrying Dwayne Hicks might be accurate and heartwarming, they decided it would be a sleeper at the box office, SO THEY NEVER MADE A THIRD. NEVER.
@34:28 "That's not how you turn a computer off" For the time (1991) that's a pretty accurate representation of how you'd turn a computer off. We're talking pre-windows, so the whole shut down/power off from the start menu: that's not a thing. The process back then was literally make sure it's not performing a write operation, then hit the off button.
Windows existed in 1991. In fact it was likely Windows 3.0 running in DOS mode that Dyson was working on. The first Windows OS released in 1985, and Windows 3.0 released in 1990. Secondly Miles is a computer engineer, so he can quite easily write a shut down routine into DOS. My grampa did the same thing with windows, ran it in DOS mode cause he liked DOS better.
@@willmartin7293 that's unlikely. They won't know that PC's used to have a bunch of data interfacing hardware like disc drives, floppy drives, and stuff like that. But they'll still know what a PC is.
@@sorrenblitz805 Are you sure about that? Ask someone born in the 1990's how to use a rotary phone, or how to drive a car with a standard transmission.
Arnold is the same model and design in both films. Then they change things up in Terminator 3, making him a T-850 or some s**t and for no good reason. I would love to see Arnold on the battlefield in the future along with a bunch of other bodybuilders ie Terminators, moving just like the endoskeletons, ready to shoot any human they see
In Sarah's dream at the playground, that's not Linda Hamilton playing with the children, it's Leslie Hamilton, her twin sister. She is also in the scene at the end when there are 2 Sarahs in the same shot at the factory ~ Despair.

Fun fact, the foster mother is the same actress that played Vasquez in Aliens, also plays an Irish mother in Titanic. She's quite the chameleon. Also the budget wasn't 3x higher, more like 10x and JC actually pocketed a large portion of the first movies budget by doing guerrilla filmmaking.
Wow! What 5 years and a different hair colour can do. I did not recognise her even though I have seen both movies many times. Now I'm confused. Who is more badass; Jenette Goldstein wielding a huge gun or a sword arm? :D
4:48 "This song... so '90s" - except that "Bad To The Bone" is a 1980s song, using a speeded-up 1950s riff. The film is from 1991, but most movies use existing hits from previous decades precisely because adult viewers will relate to them instantly. For younger viewers hearing the song for the first time, they will just associate it with the movie from then on, so it's a win-win for the film studios!
Here's the real life discussion Cameron had with his editors. Editors: Bad to the Bone? Come on, man, that's so cliché! Cameson: I don't fucking care, it's fucking cool.
"This terminator looks like the last one with no explanation." In the television commercials for the movie, they showed an assembly line producing Arnold type terminators. Those shots were also used in the Guns & Roses music video for "You Could be Mine" which was a tie in for this movie as well. All together they were supposed to give the idea of this movie being about multiple Arnolds coming back to kill John Conner and thus reinforce the twist.
@@znk0r You'll note in the original movie one of the infiltrators seen in a flashback had a different face. Same body builder physique. Different assembly lines. Not the worst plot hole in the franchise.
The reason the T-800-Model 101(arnold's Terminator model) all share the same face is because they come off of an assembly line when Skynet makes the Terminators, you learn more about this in T3 Rise of the Machines and in Salvation. There are other T-800's different category modes 102, 103 etc that have different faces but the main T-800 models are Arnold and in some cases not even skinned just sent out in pure endoskeleton form like we see in the distant future war. The ones with skin are used for infiltration missions to blend in with humans. Great reaction Amanda, you're always so cute and into your reactions!
@sorrenblitz805 Any terminator with skin suits as well as T-1000s and any other terminator model that can replicate skin organic tissue can also time travel as we've seen their shape-shifting ability allows it as we've seen.
@@MKF30 no I know I was saying not every Terminator gets a skin suit. The T-600 and T-800's are mass produced infantry too and they usually don't get skin suits (the 600's can't even get skin suits they get rubber suits lol).
@@sorrenblitz805 Oh yeah I gotcha. I was just going by what you said, but I hear what you're saying thought you meant something else. Yeah that's true with the more advanced terminator's later on post T-800 model where they were just so advanced they could create their own organic. Yeah I don't believe there was ever a story where the T-600's even got sent back in time since they were synthetic rubber suits. That would fail immensely I'd imagine lol
He is half Spanish decent, his mother is Mexican. I wouldn't be surprised if he knew Spanish. What's wild is his teacher on set dated him when he was like 13 years old. When Cali changed statutory laws, his uncle tried to press charges that failed. The lady actually sued Edward and won, so he had to give 15% of his earnings.
the effects were mindblowing for the time. all people were talking about was how amazing it looked. also the actor who played John was from southern California so that's why he pronounced the hispanic words well
@@sorrenblitz805 fine point. Besides, why would humans have made such realistic Terminators. So I'll go with skynet did it because it's what they did. Like how they bootstraped their own existence...sorta, maybe. Probably best not to start pulling threads in Terminator movies logic.
The symbolism of Arnold using the box of roses to carry the shotgun was a "nod" to the fact that the band Guns and Roses did the soundtrack (which was award winning)
One of the best, smartest parts of Terminator 2 is how Sarah becomes the thing she hates. She turns into a Terminator, devaluing the Miles Dyson and the effect on his family. I am still seriously annoyed that Linda Hamilton wasnt nominated for Best Actress. Her Sarah Connor is one of the three best, strongest, most iconic female characters ever put on film.
Correction: she *almost* becomes the thing she hates. But she pulls back at the last minute. That's what's so clever about the writing in this sequel. There are so many statements in this film about what differentiates a human from a humanoid machine (or human intelligence from AI, to put it in today's terms). From Arnie's T-800 trying to understand crying and emotions, to the discussions about why killing is wrong (particularly relevant in the context of action movies at the time, as by the early 1990s there had been a lot of controversy about the amount of violence and killing in cinema blockbusters in the late '80s, including several of Arnie's own movies), themes about growth and learning from our past (childhood, fostering, parenthood, etc), to Sarah Connor's journey from cold repression and just being driven for a mission to rediscovering her 'humanity', right down to the little moment where the T-1000 briefly looks at a mannequin trying to work out what it is. The more you watch this film, the more parallels you see being explored or hinted at. It really works on so many levels. And yes, Linda Hamilton carried off her transformation and the role of Sarah Connor excellently here.
It's interesting that neither Ripley nor Connor nor O'Hara are particularly strong woman (especially Scarlett) to begin with. They're all created by circumstances.
The special effects were done so well for this movie in the 90's that they stand the test of time and still look good today. Something that is not going to happen with many current movies years from now when they are seen again, because the CGI they did leaves much to be desired. It's always good to combine CGI with practical effects to make it look more realistic. And as you can see, many scenes filmed in a real way, the explosions, the trucks, the helicopters, are no longer filmed today with this level of super-production because it is too expensive and all that was replaced today by CGI, which in my opinion, has not yet evolved to deceive us that we are seeing real scenes, it looks artificial.
Funny story, but my dad worked in Silicon Valley in the 80s and 90s, and the company he worked for moved into the same commercial park that the Cyberdyne building was in (right next door). We ended up hearing about the movie production, and were camped out in the parking lot, watching Arnold with the mini-gun as Cameron was filming.
The thing to remember with this movie... Is it contains almost no CGI. The Future War start sequence entirely practical apart from the rotoscoped laser shots. They used rear-projection screens in the backgrounds, with sets in the foreground, and filmed the whole thing in-camera. The T-1000, is only CGI when it does things a puppet can't do. They used prosthetics, animatronics, makeup, puppetry, and even resorted to wrapping Robert Patrick in tin-foil and spray paint....... The finale chase scene, they even flew a real helicopter under a real bridge... for real. Fo' reals and ever-thang! This is why T2 and Jurassic Park look so good... because they had talent, experience and hard work involved, real life physics and actual real things on real sets... not just pressing keys on keyboards and letting a computer render everything on a green-screen.
So you obviously have no clue what work it means to do realistic looking CGI. This whole „practical effects are better“ nonsense fools guys like you. Look for the video series „No CGI is really just invisible CGI“. In 1991 they had no other options to use practical effects for the most parts because the tools needed weren’t available.
Robert Patrick practiced running breathing through his nose with his mouth closed at all times without blinking to look more robotic. His T-1000 running is amazing.
Actually the theatrical ending was less conclusive, you watched the... whatever cut. There's a number of different cuts out there of Terminator 2. Always thought the theatrical version had perfect pacing. Same with the theatrical version of Aliens.
Yeah this is the extended edition with the alternate "super happy" ending. The theatrical ending is the real ending. I think James Cameron even agrees.
15:45 the man with the camera is a police officer from the first terminator, the scene when the terminator broke through the windshield of a car with his hand, was thrown off the hood of the car, approached a police car in which a police officer was reporting an accident with a victim, knocked out a police officer by hitting the car and stole a police vehicle
@9:17 - The first Terminators body was crushed at a robotics building - they only specialized in electronics and mechanics back then, ...later on, due to having unusual resources, they became experts at robotics, and then with military funding - became Cyberdyne.
Watching this reaction I just picked up a detail that had escaped me till now. It's unimportant to the plot, but once noticed gives a great indication of the attention to detail that this film was made with and helps to explain why we as the audience buy into it 100%. At 23:59 - 24:08 listen to the footsteps as our antagonist walks through the hallway of the mental hospital. Both the sound and the cadence of the footsteps changes as the T1000 changes from the stockier, short-legged form of the hospital guard to that of the slimmer, longer-legged police officer.
@@znk0r No, by that logic if he only touched your arm, he couldn't become your whole body. The functionality clearly extends a certain distance from the point of contact, or it wouldn't be useful.
The given reason for the terminators looking the same was that each model number, 101, 102, 103, etc had a different face. The actual IRL reason for this storyline was so that they could use Arnold for T2 and any other sequel. Arnold was and still is one of the biggest action movie stars EVER. That's the real reason.
Not the director's cut. She was right when she called it "the extended cut." James Cameron was not involved. After all, he was the one to scrap that happy ending in the first place.
The original theatrical version ended on an open ending note with Sarah Connor ending with the lines of "if a machine can learn the value of human life, then maybe we can to." The reason who they were able to make more movies after this is because of one word. "Retcon." I won't say more than that.
It's not a mystery. The terminator comes off an assembly line... things that come off an assembly line look the same. Amazes me that people can't put that together.
That's not exactly clear in the first two films. The T-800s are said to be infiltration units, and they would not make very good infiltration units if they all looked the same. We see two different looking T-800 units in the first film - the Arnie model, and the one that infiltrated the bunker and killed everyone in Reece's flashback. They may have the same metal skeleton underneath, but they had different looking flesh parts. It isn't until the later films that we are shown a production line.
Yeah but Kyle said he's a model 101 so logically all 101 look like Arnold. I guess it's a quick line and if you just watch the first movie one time it's not that obvious 😅
@@PhilippeLachance It's one of those things that changed over time and eventually got retconned. Original film merely referred to the Terminator as Model 101 with no reference to that being what the outer skin looked like. Keep in mind that Kyle explicitly says he had to wait for the Terminator to make the first move against Sarah as he didn't know what it looked like. Eventually, the endoskeleton is what became known as the T-800 with Model 101 referring to the outer skin. This is seen in film as the Terminator's HUD at one point displays "Cyberdyne Systems Series 800 Model 101." James Cameron later explains in the T2 commentary that the model number is specifically the outer appearance of a Terminator being used for infiltration rather than a basic footsolider (101 is Arnold, 102 would be someone else, etc.) Logically, that would mean you could have different combinations of endoskeleton and outer skin as we later see with T3 (T-850, Model 101) And while we don't have model numbers applied to various T-1000s seen across the franchise, one would assume that the model number in that case would refer to their default appearance.
@@Enigma1788 yeah I know but still by watching the movies multiple times you can figure it out after a while. That's what I said. It's not obvious the first time watching. But yeah I understand it was not explained and that it wasn't supposed to be that. It is not even mention in the first movie that he is a T800 so the model 101 is probably the model of terminator not his skin.
Arnold is a T-800 Series CSM-101 Infiltrator. The Skinsuit Terminators don't actually get used much, only for Assassination missions really. Most of the time it's a Bare Metal T-800 sent out the factory as general Infantry
The ending in this Version is an alternate ending. The original ending is Sarah holding her monologue by showing the driving on a road in the dark. Meaning the future is not set yet, so it was more an open end
So the reason that all the T800 series terminators look like Arnold is because they're made on an assembly line and the genetic material is cloned tissue from the same human.
The guy who jumps out of the chopper is real-life (stunt) helicopter pilot Charles Tamburro. He's a legend, flying helicopters in a ton of stuff (Die Hard, Predator, First Blood, the original A-Team TV series etc.). He was also the guy who flew the chopper underneath the bridge. Twice -- once to be filmed from behind, once from the front. There are some more insane stunts: The scene when the T-1000 falls off the car (after the Pescadero breakout), they couldn't find safe materials for his knife arms, so the guy did it with stiff attachments. Then there's the scene where the Terminator jumps into the bed of the pickup, runs across it, and jumps onto the semi. That was filmed just as you see it, with the cars really driving by themselves (not towed or attached to each other) and no additional safeties. James Cameron said later (in the DVD commentary) that he would not approve that stunt anymore because of the danger. The stuntman who did it was Peter Kent (one of Arnold's standard doubles). He also did the motorcycle jump into the LA river, and his face is rather noticeable different from Arnold's if you watch closely. The motorcycle was too heavy to survive that jump, though, so it was suspended from bungee cords, which were photoshopped out. Adobe Photoshop was brand-new at the time, developed really for this purpose of manipulating movie images. The prime developer was Thomas Knoll, brother of ILM visual FX legend John Knoll. But it wasn't quite advanced enough just yet to replace faces (fix Peter Kent's face, for instance), so THAT was done for the first time (if I'm not mistaken) a short time later in Jurassic Park (when Lex's stunt double falls through the ceiling, she accidentally looks up, and they changed her face with Lex's digitally).
Terminator 3 was an unnecessary third dip into the same formula IMO. 4 5 and 6 were three separate attempts to start new lines of storytelling, and none of them stuck. Actually after the first 2 films, the short lived TV series The Sarah Connor Chronicles is definitely the best thing.
Yes. I totally agree. They actually gave us a believable female Terminator in Summer Glaus Cameron. Right off the bat, they showed us why it was necessary to make Cameron female. She infiltrated and seduced John with her feminine whiles. And then later, she's perfectly stoic... like Arnold. When she turns and becomes a deadly killing machine again, Cameron actually feels like Robert Patrick's T-1000. The TX was lame. She gave herself a b00b job, but she never does anything with it. It's just part of her aesthetic. And frankly, I still think the T-1000 is more impressive.
T3's downfall was the attempt at injecting humor, but aside from that,still a good story. T4 takes place in the. future. with adult John. After that its just a mess.But yes, The Sarah Chronicles is well. worth the watch
I loved both T3 and Salvation💖💖💖. They were both perfect💖💖💖. Don't understand why they are so hated. You guys are noobs. They were both perfect continuation of the story. And in Salvation sequels we would get to see TONS of advanced future war. But because of you butt hurt haters the film flopped and the sequels never got made.
@@towkirshuvo97 T3 is definitely NOT perfect. Like I pointed out, they tried adding too much humor into it, and it didn't work. Besides that, it was an good continuation, not great but good minus the comedy.
You're editing is amazing, you popping out from behind the bed is hilarious XD Also the "loaded gun to the head' I have seen this movie so many times and never noticed!
The reason I was confused is becuse in Terminator 1 Kyle says that they used to be able to recognize the cyborgs because they had rubber skin (or something like that) but because they started making them more realistic, it was more difficult to spot them. It's logical to think that if they all looked exactly the same then there wouldn't be an issue with recognition. Making them all look the same is a big give-away. Also, in the flash-forward Kyle has, they showed a Terminator with red eyes (in the refuge) and it doesn't look like Arnold.
@@amandamiquilena You are exactly right. It wouldn't make sense. There are different looking terminators. The internal skeleton is a T-800. The outside model in this one is "model 101". There are other models that look like different people.
"It's easy to tell when the sequel is a cash grab and when it was from the passion of the artist." Yes. That's why many fans consider Terminator 1 and 2 to be the only real movies. Yeah, there are others in the series, but if you stopped here you could live the rest of your life and never be disappointed with a Terminator movie.
You don't understand why John Connor doesn't want to kill Dyson, then you don't understand why the fight took place in the film because it is all about protecting life from death
I don't think Sarah's commentary on the Terminator is a 'dig at men', rather acknowledging the reality that replacing a child's biological father - or either biological parent - with someone that will care the same, is not an easy thing. Something that modern society seems to have trouble understanding with the epidemic of single parenthood.
No, it's a dig at men. James Cameron's whole personality is super, super liberal. All his movies have very leftist themes, in this case the feminist 'hate men' attitude. Look at Avatar. Every movie has gotten more ideologically hateful toward groups leftist love to hate: men, straight people, cis people, white people.
(When Sarah was explaining how the Terminator sent, would b a positive father-figure) It wasn’t a dig to all men, just the men Sara has chosen to allow in her life.
Yeah except right after that she starts lumping Miles Dyson in with the Manhattan project, saying "Men only know how to destroy and kill" which you know great attitude to have when raising her male child, especially with the level of rage and disgust in her voice as she says it. And on top of that, she's pretty rude to and dismissive of John for most of their screen time.
The thing I really love about this is how the RELENTLESS way Arnie kept going, the power reroute, etc, to save them. It shows exactly what he'd be doing to terminate as well.
This is one of the movies they used to play frequently on TV in Colombia when I was a kid, and every time I caught it, I couldn't resist to keep watching. One of the greatest films. Saludos Amanda
That's because it's a deleted scene only available in the extended edition. Most of these Reactors watched the theatrical cut which deletes that scene and the scene where John and Sarah reset the T-800's CPU.
You mentioned how Dyson destroying the CPU didn't effect him too much. I always thought that showed his morality very well, he does not hesitate at all to destroy his whole life's work (and even chose to do so while dying) to save the world.
"I wonder if they are really fast" Robert Patrick (T-1000) was a track star in college. He had to slow down during the chase because he kept catching the bike.
Amanda: If you've seen "The Walking Dead" you may have noticed. Todd - John's foster father - was portrayed by Xander Berkeley. You will then know him as Gregory.
there was a terminator series too, it was called 'the sarah connor chronicles' and it happens 5 or 6 years after the theatrical edittion ending of this movie. it was very cool, but it was one of the great series that was killed by the writers strike back then, just like 'heroes'
The guy teaching photos in the mall is the same actor that plays the cop whose car was stolen by Arnie in the first movie. They're the same character, which is why he reacts like he recognises him
Terminator: Dark Fate is bad-ass too. It's the reunion of Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger after this film. It would be great to react to that too.
Terminator:Genesis is about an AI app that will get a huge release soon. Emilia Clark is a young Sarah Conner, who managed to reprogram the Arnold Terminator as her protector. She calls him “Pops”. But he’s been with her for years, and is older now (Because the actor is older).
As I remember it, the thing with the helicopter flying under the bridge was that the camera crew that they had for the movie refused to film it because it was too dangerous. They actually found somebody that would fly the helicopter like that, but the camera crew didn't want to film it. So... there's at least one shot in there where the camera is clearly hanging out of the window of a car following the action and somebody of course would have to be holding the camera shooting that. That would've been James Cameron himself having to shoot that because the film crew wouldn't do it. Somebody actually flew that thing under the bridge and then again when it looks like it's going to hit a bridge and pulls up at the last second to go over it. They don't make movies like that anymore... that would almost certainly be CGI today, and that's part of why movies like this are timeless to look at.
That "somebody" was legendary helicopter pilot Charles Tamburro. He's also playing the guy jumping off after the "Get out!". About 80% (don't quote me on this, that's just how it feels like to me) of helicopters flown in 1980s and 90s movies and TV shows are him or one of his brothers. He did all the flying in the original A-Team and Airwolf TV series. He was the guy having the discussion with the police sharpshooter on the chopper in First Blood. Predator and Predator 2, Die Hard 1 & 3, Commando, True Lies, The Rock, and and and.
Heh, the default portable storage medium in 1991 was a disk capable of holding 1,44 megabytes. In huge corporate projects like those, they would have used big magnetic tapes that hold data equal to several hundred individual disks. I guess CD-ROMs were already around, but big magnetic tapes definitely were still in use. Piles of those large tapes could hold many gigabytes of data in total.
The practical animatronics for the T-1000 were indeed made by Stan Winston, who also did The Thing. (Rule of thumb: Whenever the T-1000 is not morphing into another form, it's practical. The T-1000 walking out of the fire in the LA river is a guy in a tin foil suit, and the CGI only kicks in when he morphs into Robert Patrick.)
57:45 - All they prevented was one specific end-of-the-world scenario. The one they had information about. Now that future history has changed, any new end-of-the-world scenario could happen. So...not necessarily conclusive.
So cool she could feel the artistic passion and vision of this movie and the people who worked on it. It really does shine through : ) also this is the perfect end to the story.
Had to subscribe to your channel after the helicopter chase scene. I've watched a lot of people react to this movie and you're the only one that's ever brought that up about how nuts the the helicopter chase scene is.
Terminator budget $6.4M.
Terminator 2 budget $102M.
Almost 16 times the budget.

@@amandamiquilena too lazy to dig through the comments so I'll leave this here. This ending is an alternate one so if you want to watch the other movies, look for the theatrical ending so you won't be confused on how the story continues when you just saw everyone live happily ever after.
Well no official release has disclosed the budget, the best guesses not refuted by those involves was around 104 million at the time which would be closer to 242 million today. T1 is around 15 million adjusted. But T2 had about 25 million of the budget going to advertising- which is about 58 million today. Putting filming budget closer to 184.

Arnold’s metal skeleton is called a T-800. There are thousands of “skin coverings”; each looking like a different person. Any skin covering that looks like Arnold is a CSM-101(Cyberdyne Systems Model-101). A CSM-102 will look like someone else. A CSM-103 will look like someone else.
You explained almost exactly how I was going to explain about the different models. I don't remember if it was part 3 or 4 that they covered that.
However
You only answered part of the question of why the terminators look the same. You explained the story reason. But the actual real life reason for that storyline? So they could use Arnold for part 2, part 3, etc.
I mean, Arnold is one of the most famous action movie stars EVER. Keeping him in the series makes $en$e.
I was typing a comment basically saying that but you have done it so much better so I gave up 👍
@@danielg6566T3 extras, William Candy
The trailer also showed the model 101 being manufactured. I seem to remember James Cameron in an interview talking about how test audiences were confused both by another 101 appearing and by the twist of Arnold being good this time. It led them to focus on those points in the advertising, even ruining the reveal.
CSM-102 appears briefly in Terminator 1 during Kyle's Flashback in the tunnels. He's also the primary antagonist of Terminator Resistance. The CSM-102 T-800 is portrayed by Franco Columbo
Fun fact: one needs two hands to fly a helicopter. If you look closely, the T-1000 grows a third arm when flying the helicopter so it can keep shooting.
Sometimes i also grow an third arm, usually i try to hide it with my other hand, rubbing it usually works.
It actually has 4 arms in the helicopter.

"If they manage to destroy this thing in this movie, then what's the point of the rest."
A question people have been asking for a long time now.
Yup... that's why there were only ever TWO films in the Terminator series. Some people claim otherwise... but they are just trrying to sell you on Hollywood cash-grabs with bad plots, hammy dialogue, and ever more convoluted timelines.
Because Judgement Day was inevitable. Its(that you cant actually prevent a pas event) covered in various articles about theoretical time travel. One of the reason Ill defend T3 to my grave. 4 was hit and miss with a terrible ending and the rest are just trash.
@@undertow5164 - No it wasn't inevitable. That was answered quite clearly in the first film:
Sarah Connor : Are you saying it's from the future?
Kyle Reese : One possible future... from your point of view.
So that means after T2, Kyle Reese's future still exists, and he STILL saved Sarah and fathered John in 1984.
However, after Judgment Day is stopped the timeline he came from would now be just an alternate future from a different timeline where that happened.
It's a pre destination paradox.
@@Mr.Ekshin The short lived TV series made for a better 'sequel' to T2; and that PC FPS game: Terminator:Resistance is a great dose of 'future war' (not to mention, the makers of the game really loved the franchise)./
There are two sets of identical twins in this film. The security guard at the vending machine was stabbed by the T1000 played by his brother, and when Sarah is working on Arnies head, they are not in fact looking into a mirror, Linda Hamiltons twin played her 'reflection'. No mirror, so no reflection of the camera in it. One of the cleverest shots ever imo.
Linda and her sister also showed up in the shot where John has to decide between his mother and the Liquid Metal terminator imitating his mother.
Linda Hamilton's twin also played Sarah in the dream sequence playing with the children in the playground.
Identical twins are also reacting to this vid, although one is shy.
Sarah's twin is also dancing in the club in the first movie
Linda's twin looks way less identical then the brothers. And sadly she passed away this year.
Robert Patrick/T1000 said that throwing Arnold/THE Terminator through walls was about the funnest thing he's done as an actor.
Yes, I think I remember him saying this.
I've put in image search for him, there is literally nothing from Ladder49 if you look up his name.
"The Body's still recognizable, she needed to do more".. LOL
Why is Amanda’s mouth on the left side of her face
I was 9 years old when my parents took me to see this masterpiece on the biggest screen in town. The theater had the greatest sound ever. When that endoskeleton crushed the skull, everyone jumped through the roof. T2 is one of the greatest movie-going experiences of my life.
im so jealous. i was 12 and too young apparently.
Thank god there were only two Terminators! Yup I’m in denial for decades!!! Only two! Perfect duo
"It has to end here" as the T-800 said to John. And it did end there!
Would be no point to a sequel to T2. The story has been told to its conclusion.
But could you imagine if they did make more after T2!. They would either be boring watching Sarah and John live normal lives doing regular things, or they would be nonsense reconned money grab trash movies.
Nope, best that it ended after T2.
Right there with you.
salvation had great ideas
@@etlttc353 Right,T3 was the perfect end. If They manage to stop the Judgement Day, they won't be a possible for John in the future to sent his father back in time to met his mother in 1984, and he won't exist. He exist because of the war happen in the future, that make he exist. Other Terminator movie after T3 is useless. Salvation is just a story about what happen in the future. Those 4 film is matters to each other.
54:57 That's part of Cameron's genius. That he can get you screaming at the screen "Will that thing *ever* die??!!" in one movie and crying "NOOO!" over it's demise in the very next.
The woman who played John’s foster mom, Jeanette Goldstein, also played Pvt. Vasquez in ‘Aliens’ and the Irish mom putting the children to bed as the ship was sinking in ‘Titanic’.
Correct.
I felt sorry for her and her children in that scene.

5:58 - the same reason your phone looks exactly like a million other phones: it was made on an assembly line. Sure, they'd need a variety of appearances overall, otherwise people would be able to identify the infiltration units by sight. But you could still have thousands of identical copies without issue.
T2 struck a really good balance between the use of practical effects and CGI, something that modern movies should take note of.
The thing I most appreciate about this movie (and Aliens) is that they aren’t typical sequels that rehash the first movie, making the same jokes or referencing the same moments. Instead, Cameron imagines what might happen next and tells a true continuation of the story. Characters change and evolve (Sarah is a legend here) and the plot progresses! These early James Cameron movies are his best imo.
It still boggles my mind that John's foster mother is played by the same actress who played Vasquez in "Aliens".
I get your point, but there are TONS of callbacks. Almost like Cameron was saying “This is how good T1 could have been with a real budget.”
@@gavinsheridan4680 But callbacks, not rehashes. Many sequels are nothing more than a series of "I remember that bit!" moments. Very lazy.
Also, T1 was better than T2. 😉
It’s a shame they never made a third terminator movie or a third alien movie. Never never never. But then, a movie about Ellen Ripley raising Newt and marrying Dwayne Hicks might be accurate and heartwarming, they decided it would be a sleeper at the box office, SO THEY NEVER MADE A THIRD. NEVER.

"That's not how you turn a computer off"
For the time (1991) that's a pretty accurate representation of how you'd turn a computer off.
We're talking pre-windows, so the whole shut down/power off from the start menu: that's not a thing.
The process back then was literally make sure it's not performing a write operation, then hit the off button.
In another 30 years, people watching movies from the 1990s will probably not recognize a desktop computer.
Windows existed in 1991. In fact it was likely Windows 3.0 running in DOS mode that Dyson was working on. The first Windows OS released in 1985, and Windows 3.0 released in 1990. Secondly Miles is a computer engineer, so he can quite easily write a shut down routine into DOS. My grampa did the same thing with windows, ran it in DOS mode cause he liked DOS better.
@@willmartin7293 that's unlikely. They won't know that PC's used to have a bunch of data interfacing hardware like disc drives, floppy drives, and stuff like that. But they'll still know what a PC is.
@@sorrenblitz805 Are you sure about that? Ask someone born in the 1990's how to use a rotary phone, or how to drive a car with a standard transmission.
In both movies when Arnold says he'll be back he's driving through the door with a car :D
Arnold is the same model and design in both films. Then they change things up in Terminator 3, making him a T-850 or some s**t and for no good reason.
I would love to see Arnold on the battlefield in the future along with a bunch of other bodybuilders ie Terminators, moving just like the endoskeletons, ready to shoot any human they see

And she said Dyson needed a bullet in the head.
Fun fact, the foster mother is the same actress that played Vasquez in Aliens, also plays an Irish mother in Titanic. She's quite the chameleon. Also the budget wasn't 3x higher, more like 10x and JC actually pocketed a large portion of the first movies budget by doing guerrilla filmmaking.

Fantastic reactions as always ❤
4:48 "This song... so '90s" - except that "Bad To The Bone" is a 1980s song, using a speeded-up 1950s riff. The film is from 1991, but most movies use existing hits from previous decades precisely because adult viewers will relate to them instantly. For younger viewers hearing the song for the first time, they will just associate it with the movie from then on, so it's a win-win for the film studios!
Here's the real life discussion Cameron had with his editors.
Editors: Bad to the Bone? Come on, man, that's so cliché!
Cameson: I don't fucking care, it's fucking cool.
"This terminator looks like the last one with no explanation."
In the television commercials for the movie, they showed an assembly line producing Arnold type terminators. Those shots were also used in the Guns & Roses music video for "You Could be Mine" which was a tie in for this movie as well. All together they were supposed to give the idea of this movie being about multiple Arnolds coming back to kill John Conner and thus reinforce the twist.
Come to think of it it's kind of stupid considering they are "infiltration" models...them all looking the same is quite the flaw.
@@znk0r It's a big world out there. Lots of room to send 50 or maybe 500 Arnold-looking models to different ruined cities and hideouts.
@@znk0r You'll note in the original movie one of the infiltrators seen in a flashback had a different face. Same body builder physique. Different assembly lines. Not the worst plot hole in the franchise.
The reason the T-800-Model 101(arnold's Terminator model) all share the same face is because they come off of an assembly line when Skynet makes the Terminators, you learn more about this in T3 Rise of the Machines and in Salvation. There are other T-800's different category modes 102, 103 etc that have different faces but the main T-800 models are Arnold and in some cases not even skinned just sent out in pure endoskeleton form like we see in the distant future war. The ones with skin are used for infiltration missions to blend in with humans. Great reaction Amanda, you're always so cute and into your reactions!
Only Infiltrators and Time Travel Assassins get Skin Suits.
@sorrenblitz805 Any terminator with skin suits as well as T-1000s and any other terminator model that can replicate skin organic tissue can also time travel as we've seen their shape-shifting ability allows it as we've seen.
@@MKF30 no I know I was saying not every Terminator gets a skin suit. The T-600 and T-800's are mass produced infantry too and they usually don't get skin suits (the 600's can't even get skin suits they get rubber suits lol).
@@sorrenblitz805 Oh yeah I gotcha. I was just going by what you said, but I hear what you're saying thought you meant something else. Yeah that's true with the more advanced terminator's later on post T-800 model where they were just so advanced they could create their own organic. Yeah I don't believe there was ever a story where the T-600's even got sent back in time since they were synthetic rubber suits. That would fail immensely I'd imagine lol
Loved that you complimented Edward Furlong's pronunciation of Nicaragua haha
He is half Spanish decent, his mother is Mexican. I wouldn't be surprised if he knew Spanish.
What's wild is his teacher on set dated him when he was like 13 years old.
When Cali changed statutory laws, his uncle tried to press charges that failed. The lady actually sued Edward and won, so he had to give 15% of his earnings.
the effects were mindblowing for the time. all people were talking about was how amazing it looked. also the actor who played John was from southern California so that's why he pronounced the hispanic words well
They're still stunning at times
Cool reaction.
One of the greatest movies to get beer and snacks and just relax
It's funny how people always wonder how the terminator could come back, it just never occurs to them that more than one could be made.

@@Velantegold stock, humans made those & skynet is just using them up. At least that's how I plug that plot hole in my brain.

@@areskristoffer debunked Kyle literally says "These are new, they look human."
@@sorrenblitz805 fine point. Besides, why would humans have made such realistic Terminators. So I'll go with skynet did it because it's what they did. Like how they bootstraped their own existence...sorta, maybe. Probably best not to start pulling threads in Terminator movies logic.
The symbolism of Arnold using the box of roses to carry the shotgun was a "nod" to the fact that the band Guns and Roses did the soundtrack (which was award winning)
One of the best, smartest parts of Terminator 2 is how Sarah becomes the thing she hates. She turns into a Terminator, devaluing the Miles Dyson and the effect on his family. I am still seriously annoyed that Linda Hamilton wasnt nominated for Best Actress. Her Sarah Connor is one of the three best, strongest, most iconic female characters ever put on film.
Correction: she *almost* becomes the thing she hates. But she pulls back at the last minute.
That's what's so clever about the writing in this sequel. There are so many statements in this film about what differentiates a human from a humanoid machine (or human intelligence from AI, to put it in today's terms). From Arnie's T-800 trying to understand crying and emotions, to the discussions about why killing is wrong (particularly relevant in the context of action movies at the time, as by the early 1990s there had been a lot of controversy about the amount of violence and killing in cinema blockbusters in the late '80s, including several of Arnie's own movies), themes about growth and learning from our past (childhood, fostering, parenthood, etc), to Sarah Connor's journey from cold repression and just being driven for a mission to rediscovering her 'humanity', right down to the little moment where the T-1000 briefly looks at a mannequin trying to work out what it is. The more you watch this film, the more parallels you see being explored or hinted at. It really works on so many levels.
And yes, Linda Hamilton carried off her transformation and the role of Sarah Connor excellently here.
OK. So, Sarah Connor and Ellen Ripley. Who's the third?
@@lionlyons Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O'Hara
the guy playing miles dyson was the best actor he outshone everybody
It's interesting that neither Ripley nor Connor nor O'Hara are particularly strong woman (especially Scarlett) to begin with. They're all created by circumstances.
The special effects were done so well for this movie in the 90's that they stand the test of time and still look good today. Something that is not going to happen with many current movies years from now when they are seen again, because the CGI they did leaves much to be desired. It's always good to combine CGI with practical effects to make it look more realistic. And as you can see, many scenes filmed in a real way, the explosions, the trucks, the helicopters, are no longer filmed today with this level of super-production because it is too expensive and all that was replaced today by CGI, which in my opinion, has not yet evolved to deceive us that we are seeing real scenes, it looks artificial.
Funny story, but my dad worked in Silicon Valley in the 80s and 90s, and the company he worked for moved into the same commercial park that the Cyberdyne building was in (right next door).
We ended up hearing about the movie production, and were camped out in the parking lot, watching Arnold with the mini-gun as Cameron was filming.
The thing to remember with this movie...
Is it contains almost no CGI.
The Future War start sequence entirely practical apart from the rotoscoped laser shots.
They used rear-projection screens in the backgrounds, with sets in the foreground, and filmed the whole thing in-camera.
The T-1000, is only CGI when it does things a puppet can't do.
They used prosthetics, animatronics, makeup, puppetry, and even resorted to wrapping Robert Patrick in tin-foil and spray paint.......
The finale chase scene, they even flew a real helicopter under a real bridge... for real.
Fo' reals and ever-thang!
This is why T2 and Jurassic Park look so good... because they had talent, experience and hard work involved, real life physics and actual real things on real sets... not just pressing keys on keyboards and letting a computer render everything on a green-screen.
They actually flew the helicopter under the bridge twice
So you obviously have no clue what work it means to do realistic looking CGI. This whole „practical effects are better“ nonsense fools guys like you. Look for the video series „No CGI is really just invisible CGI“. In 1991 they had no other options to use practical effects for the most parts because the tools needed weren’t available.
Robert Patrick practiced running breathing through his nose with his mouth closed at all times without blinking to look more robotic. His T-1000 running is amazing.
Actually the theatrical ending was less conclusive, you watched the... whatever cut. There's a number of different cuts out there of Terminator 2. Always thought the theatrical version had perfect pacing. Same with the theatrical version of Aliens.
Yeah this is the extended edition with the alternate "super happy" ending. The theatrical ending is the real ending. I think James Cameron even agrees.
15:45 the man with the camera is a police officer from the first terminator, the scene when the terminator broke through the windshield of a car with his hand, was thrown off the hood of the car, approached a police car in which a police officer was reporting an accident with a victim, knocked out a police officer by hitting the car and stole a police vehicle
*Amanda* is gangsta but for a sec I thought someone came in the room & was sneaking up on her...LOL
@9:17 - The first Terminators body was crushed at a robotics building - they only specialized in electronics and mechanics back then, ...later on, due to having unusual resources, they became experts at robotics, and then with military funding - became Cyberdyne.
Not only is Terminator 2 one of the Top 3 sequels ever made, T2 is quite possibly the greatest action film ever made.
I think Die Hard with Bruce Willis is on par with Terminator 2 for great action! If you haven't seen it I know you will love it!

Watching this reaction I just picked up a detail that had escaped me till now. It's unimportant to the plot, but once noticed gives a great indication of the attention to detail that this film was made with and helps to explain why we as the audience buy into it 100%. At 23:59 - 24:08 listen to the footsteps as our antagonist walks through the hallway of the mental hospital. Both the sound and the cadence of the footsteps changes as the T1000 changes from the stockier, short-legged form of the hospital guard to that of the slimmer, longer-legged police officer.

45:26 That “gun” you were so impressed by is an M79 Grenade Launcher.
The given reason for the terminators looking the same was that each model number, 101, 102, 103, etc had a different face.
The actual IRL reason for this storyline was so that they could use Arnold for T2 and any other sequel. Arnold was and still is one of the biggest action movie stars EVER.
That's the real reason.

@@amandamiquilena Thurston Waffles, Gabe the Dog, Doge, I love memed pets.
The original theatrical version ended on an open ending note with Sarah Connor ending with the lines of "if a machine can learn the value of human life, then maybe we can to." The reason who they were able to make more movies after this is because of one word. "Retcon." I won't say more than that.
It's not a mystery. The terminator comes off an assembly line... things that come off an assembly line look the same. Amazes me that people can't put that together.
That's not exactly clear in the first two films. The T-800s are said to be infiltration units, and they would not make very good infiltration units if they all looked the same. We see two different looking T-800 units in the first film - the Arnie model, and the one that infiltrated the bunker and killed everyone in Reece's flashback. They may have the same metal skeleton underneath, but they had different looking flesh parts. It isn't until the later films that we are shown a production line.
Yeah but Kyle said he's a model 101 so logically all 101 look like Arnold. I guess it's a quick line and if you just watch the first movie one time it's not that obvious 😅
@@PhilippeLachance It's one of those things that changed over time and eventually got retconned.
Original film merely referred to the Terminator as Model 101 with no reference to that being what the outer skin looked like. Keep in mind that Kyle explicitly says he had to wait for the Terminator to make the first move against Sarah as he didn't know what it looked like.
Eventually, the endoskeleton is what became known as the T-800 with Model 101 referring to the outer skin. This is seen in film as the Terminator's HUD at one point displays "Cyberdyne Systems Series 800 Model 101." James Cameron later explains in the T2 commentary that the model number is specifically the outer appearance of a Terminator being used for infiltration rather than a basic footsolider (101 is Arnold, 102 would be someone else, etc.)
Logically, that would mean you could have different combinations of endoskeleton and outer skin as we later see with T3 (T-850, Model 101)
And while we don't have model numbers applied to various T-1000s seen across the franchise, one would assume that the model number in that case would refer to their default appearance.
@@Enigma1788 yeah I know but still by watching the movies multiple times you can figure it out after a while. That's what I said. It's not obvious the first time watching. But yeah I understand it was not explained and that it wasn't supposed to be that. It is not even mention in the first movie that he is a T800 so the model 101 is probably the model of terminator not his skin.
Arnold is a T-800 Series CSM-101 Infiltrator. The Skinsuit Terminators don't actually get used much, only for Assassination missions really. Most of the time it's a Bare Metal T-800 sent out the factory as general Infantry
The ending in this Version is an alternate ending. The original ending is Sarah holding her monologue by showing the driving on a road in the dark. Meaning the future is not set yet, so it was more an open end
Enrique is a prepper, he believes her
have to say i love your editing skills, you rising up from behind your bed telling me to subscribe made me laugh
So the reason that all the T800 series terminators look like Arnold is because they're made on an assembly line and the genetic material is cloned tissue from the same human.
The guy who jumps out of the chopper is real-life (stunt) helicopter pilot Charles Tamburro. He's a legend, flying helicopters in a ton of stuff (Die Hard, Predator, First Blood, the original A-Team TV series etc.). He was also the guy who flew the chopper underneath the bridge. Twice -- once to be filmed from behind, once from the front.
There are some more insane stunts: The scene when the T-1000 falls off the car (after the Pescadero breakout), they couldn't find safe materials for his knife arms, so the guy did it with stiff attachments.
Then there's the scene where the Terminator jumps into the bed of the pickup, runs across it, and jumps onto the semi. That was filmed just as you see it, with the cars really driving by themselves (not towed or attached to each other) and no additional safeties. James Cameron said later (in the DVD commentary) that he would not approve that stunt anymore because of the danger. The stuntman who did it was Peter Kent (one of Arnold's standard doubles). He also did the motorcycle jump into the LA river, and his face is rather noticeable different from Arnold's if you watch closely. The motorcycle was too heavy to survive that jump, though, so it was suspended from bungee cords, which were photoshopped out. Adobe Photoshop was brand-new at the time, developed really for this purpose of manipulating movie images. The prime developer was Thomas Knoll, brother of ILM visual FX legend John Knoll. But it wasn't quite advanced enough just yet to replace faces (fix Peter Kent's face, for instance), so THAT was done for the first time (if I'm not mistaken) a short time later in Jurassic Park (when Lex's stunt double falls through the ceiling, she accidentally looks up, and they changed her face with Lex's digitally).
There are only 2 terminator movies!
You might like the most recent Terminator, it features a Hispanic protagonist as a new version of John.
Terminator 3 was an unnecessary third dip into the same formula IMO. 4 5 and 6 were three separate attempts to start new lines of storytelling, and none of them stuck. Actually after the first 2 films, the short lived TV series The Sarah Connor Chronicles is definitely the best thing.
Yes. I totally agree. They actually gave us a believable female Terminator in Summer Glaus Cameron. Right off the bat, they showed us why it was necessary to make Cameron female. She infiltrated and seduced John with her feminine whiles. And then later, she's perfectly stoic... like Arnold. When she turns and becomes a deadly killing machine again, Cameron actually feels like Robert Patrick's T-1000.
The TX was lame. She gave herself a b00b job, but she never does anything with it. It's just part of her aesthetic. And frankly, I still think the T-1000 is more impressive.
T3's downfall was the attempt at injecting humor, but aside from that,still a good story. T4 takes place in the. future. with adult John. After that its just a mess.But yes, The Sarah Chronicles is well. worth the watch
I loved both T3 and Salvation💖💖💖. They were both perfect💖💖💖. Don't understand why they are so hated. You guys are noobs. They were both perfect continuation of the story. And in Salvation sequels we would get to see TONS of advanced future war. But because of you butt hurt haters the film flopped and the sequels never got made.
@@towkirshuvo97 Didnt say I hated Salvation either, I said it didnt stick so they didnt continue it.
@@towkirshuvo97 T3 is definitely NOT perfect. Like I pointed out, they tried adding too much humor into it, and it didn't work. Besides that, it was an good continuation, not great but good minus the comedy.
39:30 the phrase is "for the greater good"
The Greater Good!
You watch the extended version, you get my like and subscribe!
You're editing is amazing, you popping out from behind the bed is hilarious XD
Also the "loaded gun to the head' I have seen this movie so many times and never noticed!
Why does one toaster look the same as another? mass manufacturing
The reason I was confused is becuse in Terminator 1 Kyle says that they used to be able to recognize the cyborgs because they had rubber skin (or something like that) but because they started making them more realistic, it was more difficult to spot them. It's logical to think that if they all looked exactly the same then there wouldn't be an issue with recognition. Making them all look the same is a big give-away. Also, in the flash-forward Kyle has, they showed a Terminator with red eyes (in the refuge) and it doesn't look like Arnold.
That wouldn't really be a good practice for an infiltrator unit toaster.
@@amandamiquilena You are exactly right. It wouldn't make sense. There are different looking terminators. The internal skeleton is a T-800. The outside model in this one is "model 101". There are other models that look like different people.
@@amandamiquilena too deep, don't dive so hard. T-101 series not surprising they similar
this was so cool to watch in the cinema! great story, excellent score... and sfx that had never been seen before.
"It's easy to tell when the sequel is a cash grab and when it was from the passion of the artist."
Yes. That's why many fans consider Terminator 1 and 2 to be the only real movies. Yeah, there are others in the series, but if you stopped here you could live the rest of your life and never be disappointed with a Terminator movie.
That's true. All movies after T2 are disposable and add nothing at all to the story or characters.
You don't understand why John Connor doesn't want to kill Dyson, then you don't understand why the fight took place in the film because it is all about protecting life from death
I don't think Sarah's commentary on the Terminator is a 'dig at men', rather acknowledging the reality that replacing a child's biological father - or either biological parent - with someone that will care the same, is not an easy thing. Something that modern society seems to have trouble understanding with the epidemic of single parenthood.
No, it's a dig at men. James Cameron's whole personality is super, super liberal. All his movies have very leftist themes, in this case the feminist 'hate men' attitude. Look at Avatar. Every movie has gotten more ideologically hateful toward groups leftist love to hate: men, straight people, cis people, white people.
The part of him getting back his small piece.
If you notice his left arm, of what he lost is shorter and the piece goes back to his left side.
(When Sarah was explaining how the Terminator sent, would b a positive father-figure)
It wasn’t a dig to all men, just the men Sara has chosen to allow in her life.
Yeah except right after that she starts lumping Miles Dyson in with the Manhattan project, saying "Men only know how to destroy and kill" which you know great attitude to have when raising her male child, especially with the level of rage and disgust in her voice as she says it. And on top of that, she's pretty rude to and dismissive of John for most of their screen time.
The thing I really love about this is how the RELENTLESS way Arnie kept going, the power reroute, etc, to save them. It shows exactly what he'd be doing to terminate as well.
Whatever you do, stop here and don’t watch any of the terrible sequels that follow.
This is one of the movies they used to play frequently on TV in Colombia when I was a kid, and every time I caught it, I couldn't resist to keep watching. One of the greatest films. Saludos Amanda
"Sarah" in the fence scene with her old hairstyle isn't actually Linda Hamilton - it's actually Leslie Hamilton Freas, her identical twin.
15:45 the guy "recording" with an actual camera is actually the cop from T1 that gets car-headed :D
Loved your reaction, buddy. Especially loved the cute double "you" disappearing in the background.
Im so glad you kept her trip and reunited with Kyle, so many people cut it out. Its important for when its brought up again later.
That's because it's a deleted scene only available in the extended edition. Most of these Reactors watched the theatrical cut which deletes that scene and the scene where John and Sarah reset the T-800's CPU.
52:26 As mentioned in Sarah's inner monologue earlier, the Terminator died to protect John.
You mentioned how Dyson destroying the CPU didn't effect him too much.
I always thought that showed his morality very well, he does not hesitate at all to destroy his whole life's work (and even chose to do so while dying) to save the world.
Great Reaction to an amazing movie and congrats on watching the extended cut, BTW watch out, the T-1000 is behind you at 9:41
"I wonder if they are really fast"
Robert Patrick (T-1000) was a track star in college. He had to slow down during the chase because he kept catching the bike.
Amanda: If you've seen "The Walking Dead" you may have noticed. Todd - John's foster father - was portrayed by Xander Berkeley. You will then know him as Gregory.
there was a terminator series too, it was called 'the sarah connor chronicles' and it happens 5 or 6 years after the theatrical edittion ending of this movie.
it was very cool, but it was one of the great series that was killed by the writers strike back then, just like 'heroes'
The guy teaching photos in the mall is the same actor that plays the cop whose car was stolen by Arnie in the first movie. They're the same character, which is why he reacts like he recognises him
No it was the directors cut version alternate end :) theatrical was different end :)
Terminator: Dark Fate is bad-ass too. It's the reunion of Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger after this film. It would be great to react to that too.
“What medication did she take cause I want some of that” you are priceless
Terminator:Genesis is about an AI app that will get a huge release soon. Emilia Clark is a young Sarah Conner, who managed to reprogram the Arnold Terminator as her protector. She calls him “Pops”. But he’s been with her for years, and is older now (Because the actor is older).
As I remember it, the thing with the helicopter flying under the bridge was that the camera crew that they had for the movie refused to film it because it was too dangerous. They actually found somebody that would fly the helicopter like that, but the camera crew didn't want to film it. So... there's at least one shot in there where the camera is clearly hanging out of the window of a car following the action and somebody of course would have to be holding the camera shooting that. That would've been James Cameron himself having to shoot that because the film crew wouldn't do it.
Somebody actually flew that thing under the bridge and then again when it looks like it's going to hit a bridge and pulls up at the last second to go over it. They don't make movies like that anymore... that would almost certainly be CGI today, and that's part of why movies like this are timeless to look at.
That "somebody" was legendary helicopter pilot Charles Tamburro. He's also playing the guy jumping off after the "Get out!". About 80% (don't quote me on this, that's just how it feels like to me) of helicopters flown in 1980s and 90s movies and TV shows are him or one of his brothers. He did all the flying in the original A-Team and Airwolf TV series. He was the guy having the discussion with the police sharpshooter on the chopper in First Blood. Predator and Predator 2, Die Hard 1 & 3, Commando, True Lies, The Rock, and and and.
I enjoyed all the terminator movies. Ok first two are supreme but the rest all have great action
Heh, the default portable storage medium in 1991 was a disk capable of holding 1,44 megabytes. In huge corporate projects like those, they would have used big magnetic tapes that hold data equal to several hundred individual disks. I guess CD-ROMs were already around, but big magnetic tapes definitely were still in use. Piles of those large tapes could hold many gigabytes of data in total.
Great reaction as usual! John's foster mother, Janelle, is played by the same actress, Jenette Goldstein, who played Vasquez in "Aliens."
The practical animatronics for the T-1000 were indeed made by Stan Winston, who also did The Thing. (Rule of thumb: Whenever the T-1000 is not morphing into another form, it's practical. The T-1000 walking out of the fire in the LA river is a guy in a tin foil suit, and the CGI only kicks in when he morphs into Robert Patrick.)
Your Luna shirt is great! Also i like that you appreciate the art of filmmaking and are making some good observations
16:58 no he didnt do that jump, and also didnt do the pasing of the truck, if you look close you see its a stunt man and not arnold.
57:45 - All they prevented was one specific end-of-the-world scenario. The one they had information about. Now that future history has changed, any new end-of-the-world scenario could happen. So...not necessarily conclusive.
Dr Silverman is THE BEST repeat side character in cinema.
He shows up again in 3, career dead, still trying to convince himself it wasn't real.
So cool she could feel the artistic passion and vision of this movie and the people who worked on it. It really does shine through : ) also this is the perfect end to the story.
42:31 OpenAI maybe.
Edward Furlong (John) was 14, playing a 10 year old-
Movie was released in 91, but set in 94..
Had to subscribe to your channel after the helicopter chase scene. I've watched a lot of people react to this movie and you're the only one that's ever brought that up about how nuts the the helicopter chase scene is.
