Just imagine, she absolutely kicked the asses of the hospital staff and was this close to escaping, only to meet the T800. Shows how scarred she was by the first movie.
It really brings the character to life. The first one killed her roommate looking for her, shot up a bar/club, demolished a police station, and then she had to literally climb over Kyle Reeses dead body to escape. It makes total sense that the T-800 would be the embodiment of her nightmares and the first sight of one turns her back into that waitress running for her life.
Exactly. That moment when she sees the T-800 come out of the elevator was perfectly done, both the slow-motion and lighting and the acting, captures just how horrified she is to see him. After going through all that she did in the first film, in which she just so narrowly manages to defeat the terminator, to her that thing is the embodiment of death. It's not just terror in that "NO!" scream, it's also disbelief - she went this far and now there's another one of them come to kill her! Or so she thinks.
FUN FACT: 1:43 was totally improv'd. The door was supposed to be open, but actor Robert Patrick surprised the crew by turning into liquid and melting through the bars.
When Sarah hears her son's voice, she doesn't even hesitate or look back, not because of the fear she's feeling clouding her mind, but because she knows the Terminator can imitate voices. I just noticed that rewatching this scene.
Nah I think she was in complete blind panic. She doesn't even try and fight off the employees grabbing her like she so skillfully did a few minutes ago, instead just crawling and trying blindly to get away from that thing. She was in pure panic.
well he says come with me if you want to live ..the same line from the 1984 of the hero character ...the terminator was programmed to say it ..she recognizes it.
Run, Escape spectacularly. Don't talk too much, just say , "come with me if you want to live", "Get Down!" How come the latter day T- movie directors all failed to Get it?
Just remind me how old I'm already...The movie is also masterpiece with its plot. The sequels on the other hand are usurpers (Cameron is in the same opinion about that).
Sarah's reaction to the T-800 as it comes out of the elevator seems so genuine. This is the mechanical monster she's feared since 1984. Linda Hamilton did a fantastic job portraying Sarah in T2, she's my favorite part of the movie.
When I first saw this scene, I didn't even understand why she was even running from the terminator. But after seeing The Terminator, now I understand why she fled from it. She thinks that Skynet has sent the terminator back again to finish the job it failed to do back in 1984: kill her. What she doesn't know is that it is a reprogrammed terminator sent back in time by the future John Connor to protect her, himself, and to stop Judgement Day.
@@Rl082992 She doesn't even think. Notice how that tough, composed, well planning and badass person completely loses herself and goes into total panic mode. She doesn't have time to think. She just sees a monster that gave her the worst nightmare of her life. It's an instinct reaction at this, done at the very core of brain. Trauma releases absolute fear, the fear that is supposed to mobilise your body but its so big whole brain starts malfuctioning as the flow if impulses is too big and you lose yourself totally. That's why she falls, can't right straight and starts screaming. It's all of human 'defense systems' triggered without any sense or order. Screaming 'No!!!" won't help you, but that' what you're doing in panic and that's the most primal reaction. Little babies scream when they need help.
the fear of a trauma losing kyle reese impacted her thought the terminator might get her again its sad and true, that sarah’s perspective she feels overwhelmed and scared i love her character, its okay to fear i dont like nowadays strongfemale characters are emotionaless and using overused plot and characters except old guards movie is good
I LOVE how despite years of prep and conditioning, the sight of the Terminator makes her revert back to her old 1984 self. Amazing performance by Linda!
That's exactly what a real person would do. Taking normal people apart means nothing to the killer robot whose only purpose is to assassinate her and her adolescent son. A more modern version of this movie would have her try to fight to promote some shallow idea of strength. Sarah Connor trying to run away isn't cowardice or weakness, but raw human panic versus an opponent she cannot hope to beat that will try to kill her son next. In that moment, her mind was likely racing "I have to get out! I have to survive! I have to find John!" right before the orderlies tackled her.
@Jaegar Ultima Yup, the scene also further establishes the strained dynamic between John and Sarah. John knows she was right, but too much time spent preparing has made Sarah distrustful, paranoid and dangerous. Hence her emotional breakdown several scenes later.
It’s beautiful. Even a badass like her is terrified of what a terminator is. Back before terminators were throwaway villains, they were unstoppable death machines with singular goals. Tearing through anything in their way. To see someone as badass as Sarah run away from one, says you should get the fuck out of dodge. Before your face is slammed into a steel grated window.
@Jaegar Ultima I feel the terminator repeating Kyle's words to her "come with me if you want to live" may have helped too. Like a mental switch. Perhaps future John playing his hand? "say this when you first meet her"
In T3 it looks more like he is in denial. When talking to Kate Brewster He says people tend to imagine things in their head (referring to the Terminator) but then he looks away as if knowing what shes sayn is true but doesnt want to accept it
Actually, later in the movie, she finds out they knew all along she wasn't crazy at all! (when she meets Dyson and he explains that they had the chip and the forearm from the first terminator).
Robert Patrick is a legend. You'd think playing a cold and emotionless machine would be so easy you wouldn't even need to try, but Patrick gave it his all and the T-1000 ended up being one of the scariest "movie monsters" ever as a result.
Exactly! It really boils down to every single nuance an actor can bring to the role. Patrick's performance doesn't sway or flail at all. Think about Gabriel Luna's "angry" and "dramatic" action scene faces as Rev-9 and compare that performance to this. Patrick is on another planet with his T-1000 role.
If you liked that, you should look up the deleted scene where she hallucinates a visit from John's father. It's pretty powerful, really adds to her tough character and I wish they didn't take it out.
I don't think anyone was terrified of Thanos, a universe-destroying behemoth, like Sarah was the sight of a Terminator. This really sells how menacing a (former) villain is
Imagine for a second how horrifying and terrifying it must be to see the T-800 not only seemingly come back for you, but _completely restored as though nothing had even happened to it._
@@zakvondaniken9327 The T-1000 wielded a Beretta 92FS chambered in standard 9×19mm Parabellum cartridge, the only visible surface damage the T-800 would receive is the human flesh itself considering the endoskeleton is constructed with a triple-armored hyper-alloy combat chassis. You’re gonna need a bigger caliber to even try damaging the T-800 series like a .50 Cal BMG Barrett M82A1
@@Johnny_Serenitydon’t even think a .50 cal would do anything, just look at the weapons humans were using against the T-800’s when the world was at war with SkyNet
The theater I was in the audience didn't really do anything at all. They knew they were watching a groundbreaking special effects movie. They did, however, laugh when the Terminator pushed that lady down the hall after breaking his sunglasses.
depends on *which country* that you watched T2 Philippines audience = "OH MY GOD! THAT T1000 SO POWERFUL!" Taiwan and HK audience = "how the hell did they do this sort special effects? AWESOME!! shit! that fake cop terminator still LIVES! Really tough!!"
Terrifying. Remember seeing it when I was a 5 year old kid on the day it opened. So many scenes seared into my mind...from truck chase...to the atomic explosion scene...to the creepy face licking scene...I remember it all.
The absolute FEAR in Sarah's eyes when the T-800 walked out of the elevator was something only someone who knew how deadly the terminator is can truly understand.
Plus the way she kept yelling "NO" as she ran away. Then way her son had to convince her that it's okay. That goes to show how well she played the part.
@@Nefus1988 Exactly, and the same is true for the first Jurassic Park film. The filmmakers had to work hard and do their homework, which is why the CGI in both films stands up to movies today.
@@kertsang2053 Jurassic park one they used alot of animatronics, with little CGI around the faces etc. Still look more realistic than any other JP/JW after that.
Two things I love about this scene are (a) of course her reaction when he steps out of the elevator. This is the bogeyman himself, the monster behind her trauma and years of nightmares, reappearing in real life; Linda Hamilton sells the PTSD-driven reaction so well. Just turning and running the other direction irrespective of the staff coming to apprehend her; nothing matters in that moment but getting away. And then (b) the doctor's needle cap falling out of his mouth as the enormity of what he's seeing begins to process. As much of a prick as he was, I continued to wonder how mentally decimated he must've been thereafter, trying to make sense of the sudden shattering evidence he's encountered indicating that his "crazy" patient was spot-on the whole time.
The doctor would be unable to tell anyone what he just saw since he's the only mental asylum personnel to personally witness it. If he does, he'll likely end up just like Sarah Connor, they'll just make him a patient just like her.
In T3, the man was basically in denial when talking to Kate Brewster (John’s future wife). Played it off as if it was simply crazy episode she was having.
The Sarah Conner Chronicles had Silberman reappear, as well, in a noncanonical event. He basically became a cultist, obsessed with Judgment Day and Sarah.
FUN FACT: Linda Hamilton (Sarah Connor) almost went deaf when shooting the elevator scene because she forgot her earplugs when Arnie was firing blanks from that shotgun in a tiny little box.
Carlo Magno T3 is also an illusion in all our brains.. And also in Silbermans head.. Look at him in T3 he regrets big time he was in it today, Trust Me!!!!
Carlo Magno. He says it's an illusion but he's just in denial. He deep down knows and believes Sarah was right all along, but denying in comforts him and he's traumatized with what he saw.
What's brilliant is how it's juxtaposed with how capable she's shown to be during the initial escape. Really intelligently structured and edited sequence all the way around.
It's such simple, yet amazing concept, just asking the question "what would happen to a woman who actually experienced the events of 'The Terminator'?" Movies today show extreme scifi and action, yet somehow fail to get anywhere nearly as interesting, with characters and sequels.
I think the good little nod to detail here. If John hadn't told the T-800 earlier that he can't "go around killing people", I'm certain all those people trying to sedate Sarah would've been dead in seconds. Albiet, the Terminator definatly gave them injuries, but by John's request; he didn't kill them.
I love how completely badass Sara Connor was and then becomes absolutely terrified after seeing the T-800 believing it’s the same one from 1984, showing that she is still traumatized after all this time. Love this movie, my dad let me watch this when I was 8 😂
Sarah Connor is great because she is real. The first movie never stepped her beyond what she was, a young woman caught in an extraordinary situation. Sarah needed a solid decade to become a top tier badass that can take on any other person, but strength is finite in real people. Too many movies today would have downplayed this raw terror to demonstrate some shallow idea of strength. Too many movies would have had her try to take on the killer robot because bad writers love suicidal determination. Sarah Connor knows what this mechanical monster can do. Sarah in that moment believes she is well and truly screwed. Sarah is a mother likely dreading what this means for her son. Sarah turns and tries to run because that is her best chance to survive. GOD! I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!
lol My dad took me and my little brother to see this back in 91. I was 7 and he was 5. I think this is where my love of action movies started. I remember just being blown away in my 7 year old brain. haha
Its not just Terminator. They've ruined Predator, Alien and Star Wars! All the classic movies that made pop culture pop and helped create the sci fi genre we all love! Then these morons come along and shove agendas and politics into it all and ruined it all! Should be a crime! So many good franchises reverted to donkey shit in the hopes of pandering to a bunch of cry babies that happen to scream really loud on Twitter.
This entire scene is perfectly constructed - the lighting, the soundtrack, the camera angles, the acting, the special effects, the sound... movie making at its peak!
1:25 “Come with me if you want to live” after that moment Sarah Connor realizes she will be saved because in the first terminator movie Kyle Reese say’s that same phrase 🤖
I didn't even think of that! That was probably fed to him by future John Connor, because he knew that would be the fastest phrase to get her to trust him.
That look on Sarahs face as Arnie exits the lift. After all she went through in her past, you cannot imagine the sheer helpless terror she would have felt, not being able to understand how this machine was alive when she crushed it at that factory. Superb scene.
The trauma from the first movie made her stronger, but that same trauma still haunts her by seeing the very unstoppable thing that was so close to killing her in the past.
@@whovianhistorybuff Regardless, seeing evidence on a photo and seeing the real thing face-to-face both have very different impacts on a person. I could watch accidents or disasters from a TV all day and not be moved by them that much, but if I'm walking down the streets and one happens right in front of me, I freeze.
1:18 You can see clearly from her facial expression and the way she quickly looks up and down at John that she's thinking "John? Why hasn't it killed you?"
Robert Patrick as T-1000 does such a perfect job. One of the scariest performances ever. The guy doesn't even blink. The one time he does is when he's inquiring about John from his foster family because at that moment he's deliberately trying to act like a human. In fact, I recall he actually did this kinda slow blink at the end of that scene, as if he was reminding himself of "Oh right, humans blink". Love all the nuances and details in this movie!
Yes! Such a great nuance. He also practiced running with his head fixed, without the up and down motion we normally run with. He studied big cats and how they run with their head and eyes locked on to their target so they don’t lose sight of it. He also modelled the T-1000’s general movements on birds of prey. Just an incredible, terrifying performance. The scariest terminator by far, none since have come close.
*THIS SCENE* - One of the greatest sequences in film history ever. The gravity of running right into *another* Terminator, Linda Hamilton brings it home here. We the audience are fully aware of all the horror and the trauma inflicted on Sarah Connor by the first Terminator, to encounter this walking nightmare again after barely escaping with her life...it's just so well done.
When I was a kid this was my first entry into terminator because we couldn't find the laser disc or tape of Terminator 1 hell I thought this was the only film as a child til I heard of the 3rd one😂😂 So the context to why Sarah having a breakdown was lost to me til I finally found T1 and checked that out.
Terminator 2 is the kind of film that never gets old. Visually still stunning, the action is second to none, the characters and narrative all up there. The more you watch it the more the little details you find, realise and learn to appreciate. Timeless masterpiece from Cameron!
There is a huge sense of emotion here, as John and the T-800 clash into the psych ward to save Sarah, they simultaneously vindicate her in the presence of those that held her captive. It was very satisfying watching the terminator punish the people who were punishing Sarah, and it felt like poetic justice that it all happened in front of Silberman. Beautifully done by JC, actors, and everyone involved.
They weren't really "punishing sarah" at all, they were trying to put her down and calm her since from their POV, all that which she has been saying sounds crazy when she doesn't have proof to show for it towards them at all so it makes sense from what they're doing to stop her. But obviously she's in the right.
@@Gadget-Walkmen I do have a question, though: was this how hospitals were like back then in the 90's like around 0:42-0:43 or have times changed since then😟😟Because I would be shocked if they treated people with disabilities like that😨😨
@@lachlanormerod8759 Don’t know. This is an asylum, not an outright hospital so I can’t outright tell as I didn’t grow up in the 90s as I was born in the last 90s. The most likely answer is yes because this is a REAL practical place as James Cameron is all for using as many real sets as possible!
I still get goosebumps, when the elevator doors open, and Sarah is moving towards that elevator only to see a T-800 model 101 walking out of the elevator... LH's facial expression, was perfect. Horror, shock, surprise, doom, etc... I love T2!
When I rewatch this scene, I think of what is going through Sarah's head. She sees a light of hope was she dashes towards the elevator; only for some thing from her nightmares walk into reality. She probably thought that eventually they would try again. She went through this once before, but she had someone helping, protecting her. She is alone now. The absolute terror she must be feeling. Hamilton pulled it off perfectly.
That “NOOOO!!!!” from Linda Hamilton still sends chills down my spine till this day. That absolute fear that she experienced when she saw T-800 is probably one of the best if not THE BEST acting jobs I’ve ever seen. This film was always way ahead of its time and is one of the best movies of all time!
This scene! Sarah starts so confident, we all know she could take every orderly in the place and bust out but as soon as she sees that foot step out from behind that door then EVERYTHING crashes into her like a ocean wave, losing Kyle, the Club shootout, the police station, the false hope of blowing it up with the truck only for it to just KEEP coming and everything melts away, Badass tough Sarah Connor disolves into the frightened, confused, overwhelmed waitress she was in the first movie then John snaps her out of it and she knows she has something to protect, the T-1000 forces the badass to the surface again and she becomes the soldier the first movie forged her into, all within 3 minutes of screen time. Bravo!
@@brandonallen3289 another thing to note is that the past decade of training made her assess the situation. Despite years of prep,due to the mental hospital she was caught with her pants down and knew she had nothing on hand that could deal with him and very little chance of escape. Her only path was to panic as the past crashed down on her and vainly run for it. Even her sons voice didnt help. It could easily be the terminator and would have panicked her more since that most likely meant it had killed her son just like it had her mother.
These are programmed machines which have mission priorities. T-1000 tasked to kill John Connor and at that moment, it does not have enough firepower to overcome intervening T-800. Pistol has almost no effect on T-800 chassis, only damaging flesh on it.
Linda Hamilton's acting is on point here. All the trauma she has suffered up until this point after the events of T1. Then seeing the same machine after 7 years. She doesn't even notice her son who she has not seen for years because she's so frozen by fear. Superb performance.
@@adamromero I saw it when I was 4 lmao. This, Terminator 1, The Fugitive, Alien, Aliens, Commando, Predator, etc. My father let me watch some pretty violent stuff early on, but it helped shape my love for movies and fiction as a whole. I also feel very nostalgic of seeing them for the first time with him. They were all movies he had already seen and loved.
1) You're back here because you just watched Terminator: Dark Fate 2) You think the new terminator guy is like My Little Pony compared to Robert Patrick's terrifying T1000
Didn't watch it, and I don't give a Disney's Dream Big Princess fuck about watching any film that shoehorning Girl Scout Cookie nonsense for propaganda.
I was out the moment they killed John in the first minute of the movie. Sarah Connor was dead as a character in that moment as well. Skynet as well. Therefore the whole franchise. So really, terminatorito in that fanfic couldn't get to me anyway. And midget-puny-girl as leader of the resistance either.
Yup the only other actor l can see play the terminator because of his imposing look is the rock but the problem is that he will get cocky and try to take over the franchisr for himself
0:14 one of my favorite scenes in the movie. the slow motion. the music. The realization and the absolute fear and panic in her face even though she just took on an entire staff of a psych unit. Very well done
unless im mistaken isnt that the T1 terminator theme? its more "industrial" and seems to indicate her trauma from the movie, and invokes our own feelings from it.
The sheer terror on Sarah's face upon seeing the T-800 is always a great scene. Despite all her training and preparations, it doesn't fully prepare her for the sight of seeing one again. She sees the same killing machine that killed her mom, her friends, a station full of cops, her protector, Kyle Reese, and other innocent people and is instantly hit with PTSD. She fears this time there's no one to protect her from it and is now only thinking of trying to get away to find her son and protect him from what she believes is a Terminator sent to finish what the first one failed to do.
Imagine your nemesis suddenly reappeared after 10 years, then you found your lost son, then you saw an alien man who just passed through a metal gate... Imagine all these were happened in 2 minutes, you might think you were actually crazy
Sarah is perfect balance between strength and humanity: She grilled herself into a hardcore survivalist warrior but the scars left by Kyle´s death and Skynet have not fully healed: She feels fear, anguish and uncertanty.
Espexially as her training would make her realize that in that situation with nothing on hand she was utterly fucked against a terminator, making her revert for a moment as blind panic was the only path left to her.
The editing, the acting, the music... Dam this scene gives me chills every dam time I love how Sarah goes from ultra badass to scared shitless when the Terminator arrives. Man if Hollywood could get back to making good blockbusters again 😪
I love how she reacts in panic and after she sees her son next to her and recognizes that something's different about that T800 she immediately gets focused to run away and save her son. Sarah Connor is one of the most badass female action characters I've ever seen.
Sarah: “HE'LL KILL US ALL!!!!!" T800: Not using violent and bloody methods to put down an hospital staff, so non of them actually die Sarah: *Surprised Pikachu face*
that melting through the bars scene my goodness i can only imagine how difficult that was to make . absolutely briliant respect to the hard work they did .
Sarah Connor is probably my favourite female character. She's so strong (even when she's scared as shit) and Linda Hamilton did a great performance here. And she was real pretty too ;)
I love that reaction out of Sarah seeing the T-800. She's been living in fear of that image ever since Kyle was killed by one. She knows how terrifying it is to be hunted by something that never stops until you're dead.
Probably one of the greatest slowmo shots in history. Plays out like a dream sequence. Shes tough as nails and been prepping all that time, most likely hoping to never run into one of those things again...and she does...Not just one, but two of em. I also like her confusion at 02:28.
0:56 This is for locking up Sarah. 0:59 This is for taking her son away. 1:02 This is for abusing and harassing her. 1:08 And this is for being a pain in the ass.
Yeah, I would imagine Sarah would be thinking like "WTF? I thought he was going to kill us all. But now that John was with him, this is more baffling to me."
When I first saw this, I didn't understand the sheer gravity of Sarah witnessing the Terminator...(I saw the sequel before the original). Later on, while watching the movies in order...omg it made SO. MUCH. SENSE. that I get CHILLS whenever I watch this scene!!!! Linda Hamilton's face says it all...she conveys each and every emotion that Sarah is feeling without any words at all. Brava!!!
I totally dig the little details in this film, like when the T-1000 passes through the bars and a quick shot of the pistol still behind the bars unable to morph through with him. How can anyone not like T2... PURE EPIC..
One of the ONLY things that can make Sarah genuinely scared and revert back to her 1984 self is the sight of Arnold's T-800, it's causesd her so much pain and anguish, it's as if she's absolutely hopeless when she sees him, thinking it's all over, T2 is a timeless masterpiece
This movie is awesome. T 1000 is such a terriffying vilain as a child I refused to watch this movie because of how much he was scaring the crap out of me. He's like a force of nature. Relentless and ruthless. Whenever he was close to Sarah and Connor in my mind I would be like: Oh shit oh shit oh shit.
What's best about this scene is when she first she's the T800, she freaks out like she did during the whole first movie, because she knows just how unstoppable it is. But when it says "Come with me if you want to live" that is the same line that Kyle said to Sarah when he was rescuing her from the T800 & seing that her son wasn't immediately gunned down by it, quickly decided to do what it said. She's an intelligent character and knew that if the T800 really wanted to kill them, it would have done it in an instant.
Yeah that bit was pretty dumb. He'd just thrown a bunch of tough men all around the room so she thought it was a right idea to smack him across the face. 😂
Yeah, good old 90's special effects. If you have Braveheart on DVD, re-watch the scene where Wallace rides his horse onto that one guy's bed. Slow motion it to just before the mace hit's and you will see it's already a dummy re positioned to give the affect once it's hit. th-cam.com/video/1KdjUNIcP8k/w-d-xo.html. Try 1/4 speed at 48 seconds in the video.
I wonder what is attached to that head and what leads to it under the shirt just under the left shoulder. Perhaps a small portion of explosives and hardwires.
This movie still looks amazing after almost 30 years. Usually the first film in a series is the best. But this is one of those rare sequels that surpass the original. Honestly, this movie is pure gold.
This scene says a lot about people and how they react, almost on instinctive levels. Take Sarah for instance. 1984, she and some-guy-she-just-met-named-Kyle were on the run for their lives from an assassin who seemed like a well-trained, tenacious, accurate professional at first, only to be revealed progessively that it was the stuff of nightmares: A Hell-Beast Machine who seemingly couldn't be defeated, stopped, or slowed down! (Obviously, the Terminator could be hindered, but Sarah has had time to realize humans get tired, humans wear out. Machines don't.) Time in between: She's preparing, she's training, she's hardened, skilled... Pretty much had years to prepare for this. So when she see's T-Arnold come through that doorway, you can see how all that training and mindset JUST EVAPORATED! No longer was she the badass patient of a mental ward who gives orderlies a run for their money. For the briefest glimpses, you see a grunge Wonder Woman morph into that of a frightened, helpless waitress who had no idea what the fuck was going on back in 1984. Of course, all that training wasn't for nothing. In the first movie, she literally sat there and waited for Arnold to give her one in the dome before being saved by Kyle. At least in this scene, despite years of conditioning and training melting to those of their human cores, one can IMAGINE the sheer adrenaline flooding her system at that point. If 1984 was a flashbulb memory, she was watching that same lightbulb arc brightly, as surprised and shocked as Tom Edison (Or Tesla) was the day he had a breakthrough in the inventing process. Despite all her training and preparation... She only knew one thing at that immediate moment: Run.
Linda Hamilton was the best performance in this movie by a mile....not too say the other actors weren't great but the emotional edge she gave to the role, especially when you consider her character in the first movie, is absolutely incredible work
I love how that lady with a broken arm decided to hit the terminator after he just tossed two big men through the window like rag dolls, and smashed a third one out cold against the wall. Such a brave lady!

![Pescadero Hospital Escape | Terminator 2 [Remastered]](/img/tr.png)
Just imagine, she absolutely kicked the asses of the hospital staff and was this close to escaping, only to meet the T800. Shows how scarred she was by the first movie.
It really brings the character to life. The first one killed her roommate looking for her, shot up a bar/club, demolished a police station, and then she had to literally climb over Kyle Reeses dead body to escape. It makes total sense that the T-800 would be the embodiment of her nightmares and the first sight of one turns her back into that waitress running for her life.
Exactly. That moment when she sees the T-800 come out of the elevator was perfectly done, both the slow-motion and lighting and the acting, captures just how horrified she is to see him. After going through all that she did in the first film, in which she just so narrowly manages to defeat the terminator, to her that thing is the embodiment of death. It's not just terror in that "NO!" scream, it's also disbelief - she went this far and now there's another one of them come to kill her! Or so she thinks.
Could not agree more!
Bruh. That blood curdling scream is epic
Talk about being traumatized. If you defeated an enemy just to see them again after so many years, how would you react, out of curiosity?
FUN FACT: 1:43 was totally improv'd. The door was supposed to be open, but actor Robert Patrick surprised the crew by turning into liquid and melting through the bars.
I came here to watch this video just after posting that meme on discord XD
Don't tell me bad memes are infecting Terminator...
@@appleleptiker dude chill
Wtf
Aw man. You terminated me.
When Sarah hears her son's voice, she doesn't even hesitate or look back, not because of the fear she's feeling clouding her mind, but because she knows the Terminator can imitate voices. I just noticed that rewatching this scene.
Damn, I never thought of that haha.
@C Oh, I thought she ended up realizing later.
Nah I think she was in complete blind panic. She doesn't even try and fight off the employees grabbing her like she so skillfully did a few minutes ago, instead just crawling and trying blindly to get away from that thing. She was in pure panic.
well he says come with me if you want to live ..the same line from the 1984 of the hero character ...the terminator was programmed to say it ..she recognizes it.
I really wish we could’ve heard Kyle Reese’s voice when the T800 said “follow me, if you want to live”
Almost 30 years and it still looks great. A visual masterpiece.
It's no wonder that this movie has cult status
Run, Escape spectacularly. Don't talk too much, just say , "come with me if you want to live", "Get Down!"
How come the latter day T- movie directors all failed to Get it?
Just remind me how old I'm already...The movie is also masterpiece with its plot. The sequels on the other hand are usurpers (Cameron is in the same opinion about that).
it was remastered in 4k...... lol
An action masterpiece and an overall amazing film actually
Sarah's reaction to the T-800 as it comes out of the elevator seems so genuine. This is the mechanical monster she's feared since 1984. Linda Hamilton did a fantastic job portraying Sarah in T2, she's my favorite part of the movie.
When I first saw this scene, I didn't even understand why she was even running from the terminator. But after seeing The Terminator, now I understand why she fled from it. She thinks that Skynet has sent the terminator back again to finish the job it failed to do back in 1984: kill her. What she doesn't know is that it is a reprogrammed terminator sent back in time by the future John Connor to protect her, himself, and to stop Judgement Day.
@@Rl082992 Yeah, that "WTF?" look of expression on her face does say it all.
YES, I was absolutely stunned by the scene when I first saw it. I never stopped thinking about it over the years
@@Rl082992 She doesn't even think. Notice how that tough, composed, well planning and badass person completely loses herself and goes into total panic mode. She doesn't have time to think. She just sees a monster that gave her the worst nightmare of her life. It's an instinct reaction at this, done at the very core of brain. Trauma releases absolute fear, the fear that is supposed to mobilise your body but its so big whole brain starts malfuctioning as the flow if impulses is too big and you lose yourself totally. That's why she falls, can't right straight and starts screaming. It's all of human 'defense systems' triggered without any sense or order. Screaming 'No!!!" won't help you, but that' what you're doing in panic and that's the most primal reaction. Little babies scream when they need help.
@@Rl082992 good job
That fear in the eyes of Sarah, this movie is a master piece.
Probably the greatest sequel of all time
By far
The soundtrack is amazing too
Linda Hamilton sure did look like she saw more than just a Ghost.
the fear of a trauma losing kyle reese impacted her thought the terminator might get her again
its sad and true, that sarah’s perspective
she feels overwhelmed and scared
i love her character, its okay to fear
i dont like nowadays strongfemale characters are emotionaless
and using overused plot and characters
except old guards movie is good
I LOVE how despite years of prep and conditioning, the sight of the Terminator makes her revert back to her old 1984 self. Amazing performance by Linda!
That's exactly what a real person would do. Taking normal people apart means nothing to the killer robot whose only purpose is to assassinate her and her adolescent son. A more modern version of this movie would have her try to fight to promote some shallow idea of strength. Sarah Connor trying to run away isn't cowardice or weakness, but raw human panic versus an opponent she cannot hope to beat that will try to kill her son next. In that moment, her mind was likely racing "I have to get out! I have to survive! I have to find John!" right before the orderlies tackled her.
She is a strong but flawed female hero, as it should be. This is why she is so memorable.
@Jaegar Ultima Yup, the scene also further establishes the strained dynamic between John and Sarah. John knows she was right, but too much time spent preparing has made Sarah distrustful, paranoid and dangerous. Hence her emotional breakdown several scenes later.
It’s beautiful. Even a badass like her is terrified of what a terminator is. Back before terminators were throwaway villains, they were unstoppable death machines with singular goals. Tearing through anything in their way.
To see someone as badass as Sarah run away from one, says you should get the fuck out of dodge. Before your face is slammed into a steel grated window.
@Jaegar Ultima I feel the terminator repeating Kyle's words to her "come with me if you want to live" may have helped too. Like a mental switch. Perhaps future John playing his hand? "say this when you first meet her"
I just love the psychiatrist face when he realizes Sarah wasn’t crazy at all
Me too i love it
Really? Because by T:3, he's still not convinced.
@@Dane_Youssef He runs away after seeing the T-850. Before that, he was in denial about what he saw at Pescadero.
In T3 it looks more like he is in denial. When talking to Kate Brewster He says people tend to imagine things in their head (referring to the Terminator) but then he looks away as if knowing what shes sayn is true but doesnt want to accept it
Actually, later in the movie, she finds out they knew all along she wasn't crazy at all! (when she meets Dyson and he explains that they had the chip and the forearm from the first terminator).
Robert Patrick is a legend. You'd think playing a cold and emotionless machine would be so easy you wouldn't even need to try, but Patrick gave it his all and the T-1000 ended up being one of the scariest "movie monsters" ever as a result.
Exactly! It really boils down to every single nuance an actor can bring to the role. Patrick's performance doesn't sway or flail at all. Think about Gabriel Luna's "angry" and "dramatic" action scene faces as Rev-9 and compare that performance to this. Patrick is on another planet with his T-1000 role.
Him and Ivan Drago were my favourite villains.
He somehow makes running look robotic
Yes, none of the liquid metal terminators in other Terminator movies have that intense uncanny valley feel that Robert Patrick's T-1000 had
@@kydelvetus642Something like the T-1000 will probably happen in 50 or 60 years.

Because they used to make movies for the love of the art, not as a vehicle for political bullshit.
Yes!!!
If you liked that, you should look up the deleted scene where she hallucinates a visit from John's father. It's pretty powerful, really adds to her tough character and I wish they didn't take it out.
Because this is Terminator 2, baby
I don't think anyone was terrified of Thanos, a universe-destroying behemoth, like Sarah was the sight of a Terminator. This really sells how menacing a (former) villain is
Yeah. Linda Hamilton really sold that scene. You could tell Sarah Connor was absolutely certain she was face to face with her doom.
Tony was pretty traumatized when he came back from titan

Taiwan and HK audience = "how the hell did they do this sort special effects? AWESOME!! shit! that fake cop terminator still LIVES! Really tough!!"
Terrifying. Remember seeing it when I was a 5 year old kid on the day it opened. So many scenes seared into my mind...from truck chase...to the atomic explosion scene...to the creepy face licking scene...I remember it all.
The absolute FEAR in Sarah's eyes when the T-800 walked out of the elevator was something only someone who knew how deadly the terminator is can truly understand.
Plus the way she kept yelling "NO" as she ran away. Then way her son had to convince her that it's okay. That goes to show how well she played the part.
Magnificent scene
The trauma and insanity that goes through her mind is unbearable
Yeah great acting moment.
Sarah knew a Terminator on the 1st movie was trying to kill her so that's why she Ran
I've been in mental hospitals and I have to say that the fact that Sarah made it that far in her escape attempt just speaks for how badass she is.
Nice
Did you try to escape as well? Or were you part of the catching people crew?
The CGI in this movie is still better than most today IMO
Like most, if not ALL, of James Cameron's movies
I think the reason is because at the time CGI was new and they really had to prove themselfes
@@Nefus1988 Exactly, and the same is true for the first Jurassic Park film. The filmmakers had to work hard and do their homework, which is why the CGI in both films stands up to movies today.

talk about not checking your surroundings
Two things I love about this scene are (a) of course her reaction when he steps out of the elevator. This is the bogeyman himself, the monster behind her trauma and years of nightmares, reappearing in real life; Linda Hamilton sells the PTSD-driven reaction so well. Just turning and running the other direction irrespective of the staff coming to apprehend her; nothing matters in that moment but getting away. And then (b) the doctor's needle cap falling out of his mouth as the enormity of what he's seeing begins to process. As much of a prick as he was, I continued to wonder how mentally decimated he must've been thereafter, trying to make sense of the sudden shattering evidence he's encountered indicating that his "crazy" patient was spot-on the whole time.
The doctor would be unable to tell anyone what he just saw since he's the only mental asylum personnel to personally witness it. If he does, he'll likely end up just like Sarah Connor, they'll just make him a patient just like her.
Probably fell into alcoholism and existential crisis.
In T3, the man was basically in denial when talking to Kate Brewster (John’s future wife). Played it off as if it was simply crazy episode she was having.
The Sarah Conner Chronicles had Silberman reappear, as well, in a noncanonical event. He basically became a cultist, obsessed with Judgment Day and Sarah.

Love how Silberman at last see that Sarah Connors treatment was totally wrong and she was right all the way
no he actually doesn't in t3 he says it was just an illusion
Carlo Magno T3 is also an illusion in all our brains.. And also in Silbermans head.. Look at him in T3 he regrets big time he was in it today, Trust Me!!!!
Carlo Magno. He says it's an illusion but he's just in denial. He deep down knows and believes Sarah was right all along, but denying in comforts him and he's traumatized with what he saw.
Plus when he saw the Terminator again he did the smart thing and stayed out of it this time.
The book is great as well, it covers the aftermath of what happened to Silberman.
The look of sheer terror on her face when she sees Arnold....
Gives me chills.
Last time she saw that face it was doing everything in its power to kill her.
This is such a beautiful film.
What's brilliant is how it's juxtaposed with how capable she's shown to be during the initial escape. Really intelligently structured and edited sequence all the way around.
I love it! HAHAHA.
It's such simple, yet amazing concept, just asking the question "what would happen to a woman who actually experienced the events of 'The Terminator'?" Movies today show extreme scifi and action, yet somehow fail to get anywhere nearly as interesting, with characters and sequels.
I think the good little nod to detail here.
If John hadn't told the T-800 earlier that he can't "go around killing people", I'm certain all those people trying to sedate Sarah would've been dead in seconds. Albiet, the Terminator definatly gave them injuries, but by John's request; he didn't kill them.
The irony is that Dr Silberman will probably require therapy for the rest of his life after what he's just witnessed.
until he fuckin died in the nuke like 10 years later
In terminator 3 he made an short appear on the cemetery scene, look for the clip
Good riddance. He was a prick.
in the original book it said something to the effect that Silberman's career ended at the moment the T1000 walked through the bars!
It would have been great if he ended up in a mental institution like Sarah did.
I love how completely badass Sara Connor was and then becomes absolutely terrified after seeing the T-800 believing it’s the same one from 1984, showing that she is still traumatized after all this time. Love this movie, my dad let me watch this when I was 8 😂
Sarah Connor is great because she is real. The first movie never stepped her beyond what she was, a young woman caught in an extraordinary situation. Sarah needed a solid decade to become a top tier badass that can take on any other person, but strength is finite in real people. Too many movies today would have downplayed this raw terror to demonstrate some shallow idea of strength. Too many movies would have had her try to take on the killer robot because bad writers love suicidal determination. Sarah Connor knows what this mechanical monster can do. Sarah in that moment believes she is well and truly screwed. Sarah is a mother likely dreading what this means for her son. Sarah turns and tries to run because that is her best chance to survive. GOD! I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!

Its not just Terminator. They've ruined Predator, Alien and Star Wars! All the classic movies that made pop culture pop and helped create the sci fi genre we all love! Then these morons come along and shove agendas and politics into it all and ruined it all! Should be a crime! So many good franchises reverted to donkey shit in the hopes of pandering to a bunch of cry babies that happen to scream really loud on Twitter.
This entire scene is perfectly constructed - the lighting, the soundtrack, the camera angles, the acting, the special effects, the sound... movie making at its peak!
1:25 “Come with me if you want to live” after that moment Sarah Connor realizes she will be saved because in the first terminator movie Kyle Reese say’s that same phrase 🤖
I didn't even think of that! That was probably fed to him by future John Connor, because he knew that would be the fastest phrase to get her to trust him.

That look on Sarahs face as Arnie exits the lift. After all she went through in her past, you cannot imagine the sheer helpless terror she would have felt, not being able to understand how this machine was alive when she crushed it at that factory. Superb scene.
The trauma from the first movie made her stronger, but that same trauma still haunts her by seeing the very unstoppable thing that was so close to killing her in the past.
She knew that terminator was back as the police had shown her photos of him earlier that day this was what motivated her to escape.
@@whovianhistorybuff Regardless, seeing evidence on a photo and seeing the real thing face-to-face both have very different impacts on a person.

Robert Patrick as T-1000 does such a perfect job. One of the scariest performances ever. The guy doesn't even blink. The one time he does is when he's inquiring about John from his foster family because at that moment he's deliberately trying to act like a human. In fact, I recall he actually did this kinda slow blink at the end of that scene, as if he was reminding himself of "Oh right, humans blink". Love all the nuances and details in this movie!
Patrick apparently practiced specifically to not blink while shooting or visibly breathe while running.
Yes! Such a great nuance. He also practiced running with his head fixed, without the up and down motion we normally run with. He studied big cats and how they run with their head and eyes locked on to their target so they don’t lose sight of it. He also modelled the T-1000’s general movements on birds of prey. Just an incredible, terrifying performance. The scariest terminator by far, none since have come close.

There is a huge sense of emotion here, as John and the T-800 clash into the psych ward to save Sarah, they simultaneously vindicate her in the presence of those that held her captive. It was very satisfying watching the terminator punish the people who were punishing Sarah, and it felt like poetic justice that it all happened in front of Silberman. Beautifully done by JC, actors, and everyone involved.
They weren't really "punishing sarah" at all, they were trying to put her down and calm her since from their POV, all that which she has been saying sounds crazy when she doesn't have proof to show for it towards them at all so it makes sense from what they're doing to stop her.

I still get goosebumps, when the elevator doors open, and Sarah is moving towards that elevator only to see a T-800 model 101 walking out of the elevator... LH's facial expression, was perfect. Horror, shock, surprise, doom, etc... I love T2!
When I rewatch this scene, I think of what is going through Sarah's head. She sees a light of hope was she dashes towards the elevator; only for some thing from her nightmares walk into reality. She probably thought that eventually they would try again. She went through this once before, but she had someone helping, protecting her. She is alone now. The absolute terror she must be feeling. Hamilton pulled it off perfectly.
the film won an Oscar for best visual effects from Industrial Light and Magic.
Nothing came even close to beating them that year. It was an extremely new technology at that point.
Seeing how this CGI can still compete with CGI of movies released in 2019 you can clearly say that it's totally deserved.
Even now, at this very moment the special effects from this movie look by far more spectacular than most today's films.
This scene is just excellent! Linda Hamilton's acting in portraying shock and fear at the sight of the T-800 after all this time is pure perfection.
Lol dr. Silvermans face at 1:52 really shows that sarah was telling the truth.

@@silverkitty2503 I agree on that
That “NOOOO!!!!” from Linda Hamilton still sends chills down my spine till this day.

Bravo!
Excellent deductions. I never thought of it that way.
@@brandonallen3289 another thing to note is that the past decade of training made her assess the situation. Despite years of prep,due to the mental hospital she was caught with her pants down and knew she had nothing on hand that could deal with him and very little chance of escape. Her only path was to panic as the past crashed down on her and vainly run for it.
Even her sons voice didnt help. It could easily be the terminator and would have panicked her more since that most likely meant it had killed her son just like it had her mother.
Awesome comment.
Crazy how each time the T-1000 aimed for a shot at the Connors, the T-800 kept interfering with a shot.
Also at first I found it funny the way he was running towards the elevator which I realised that he's covering them
GatzMaximus It’s the little details that make this movie re-watchable.
Good eye on the run though.
@@Gatz22 It looks so goofy the way he has his arms raised, but it really is to shield the Connors by denying the T 1000 a sightline! 👍🏻
And also how t1000 did not care much about t800 until the final scenes when he realized that he must take care of the 800 first.
These are programmed machines which have mission priorities. T-1000 tasked to kill John Connor and at that moment, it does not have enough firepower to overcome intervening T-800. Pistol has almost no effect on T-800 chassis, only damaging flesh on it.
Linda Hamilton's acting is on point here. All the trauma she has suffered up until this point after the events of T1. Then seeing the same machine after 7 years. She doesn't even notice her son who she has not seen for years because she's so frozen by fear. Superb performance.

@@tenjenkyes
The sheer terror on Sarah's face upon seeing the T-800 is always a great scene. Despite all her training and preparations, it doesn't fully prepare her for the sight of seeing one again. She sees the same killing machine that killed her mom, her friends, a station full of cops, her protector, Kyle Reese, and other innocent people and is instantly hit with PTSD. She fears this time there's no one to protect her from it and is now only thinking of trying to get away to find her son and protect him from what she believes is a Terminator sent to finish what the first one failed to do.

@@Elias6233 Excellent point there.
Imagine your nemesis suddenly reappeared after 10 years, then you found your lost son, then you saw an alien man who just passed through a metal gate... Imagine all these were happened in 2 minutes, you might think you were actually crazy
Sarah is perfect balance between strength and humanity: She grilled herself into a hardcore survivalist warrior but the scars left by Kyle´s death and Skynet have not fully healed: She feels fear, anguish and uncertanty.
Espexially as her training would make her realize that in that situation with nothing on hand she was utterly fucked against a terminator, making her revert for a moment as blind panic was the only path left to her.
Man that sliding affect when Sarah falls down is icing on the cake! Truly phenomenal scene!
i always love the female cop shoving scene. Arnold pushed her with enough force to send her flying 50 feet away
I like how she only intervenes when 3 men have sarah restrained.
EEProductions EJW he pushed her because she broke his sunglasses
EEProductions EJW I think you mean sliding away
Because Terminator is all about equality... His fists are rated *E fo EVERYONE*
Its funny how she appears to get knocked out by that.
The editing, the acting, the music... Dam this scene gives me chills every dam time
I love how Sarah goes from ultra badass to scared shitless when the Terminator arrives. Man if Hollywood could get back to making good blockbusters again 😪
That Arnold walk out of the elevator was epic and the music on top of that made him a legend.
To this day, no action movie has ever come close to offering as much iconic scenes as T2. And no movie probably ever will...
The Matrix. Love these two films.
Love when that music kicks in when the t1000 shows up. Perfectly encapsulates the "it will never stop coming" dread.
Yep, like Jason from Friday the 13th. An unstoppable force, a real threat. The terminators in all the equals have been so weak.
Don't put flowers on grave not allowed ect
@@danohyeah5893don't put flowers on grave not allowed ect
I love how she reacts in panic and after she sees her son next to her and recognizes that something's different about that T800 she immediately gets focused to run away and save her son. Sarah Connor is one of the most badass female action characters I've ever seen.
First time I saw this in the movies I had goosebumps everywhere. Linda's acting sold me.
Don't put flowers on grave not allowed ect
Sarah: “HE'LL KILL US ALL!!!!!"
T800: Not using violent and bloody methods to put down an hospital staff, so non of them actually die
Sarah: *Surprised Pikachu face*
Lol
If the Terminator wanted to kill them they'd all be dead even without that shotgun.
You don't think that the bloke who flew through the metal reinforced window didn't die?
The two guys heads who hot the walls like a basketball: I'm willing to bet they has brain death
And while it's not bloody, I wouldn't call it non-violent :p
that melting through the bars scene my goodness i can only imagine how difficult that was to make . absolutely briliant respect to the hard work they did .
Sarah Connor is probably my favourite female character. She's so strong (even when she's scared as shit) and Linda Hamilton did a great performance here. And she was real pretty too ;)
To me Sarah Connor and Ellen Ripley are tied for first. I just love both characters.
I love that reaction out of Sarah seeing the T-800. She's been living in fear of that image ever since Kyle was killed by one. She knows how terrifying it is to be hunted by something that never stops until you're dead.
Probably one of the greatest slowmo shots in history. Plays out like a dream sequence. Shes tough as nails and been prepping all that time, most likely hoping to never run into one of those things again...and she does...Not just one, but two of em. I also like her confusion at 02:28.
Love the echo of he no’s. They seem so cold, hopeless. Just like those sterile walls ..
0:56 This is for locking up Sarah.
0:59 This is for taking her son away.
1:02 This is for abusing and harassing her.
1:08 And this is for being a pain in the ass.
😂😂
Arthur Leach Your comment needs more likes
Knocked Out By A Push How Dumb 😂
Sarah stops in fear thinking the terminator came back to kill her.
Yeah, I would imagine Sarah would be thinking like "WTF? I thought he was going to kill us all. But now that John was with him, this is more baffling to me."
When I first saw this, I didn't understand the sheer gravity of Sarah witnessing the Terminator...(I saw the sequel before the original). Later on, while watching the movies in order...omg it made SO. MUCH. SENSE. that I get CHILLS whenever I watch this scene!!!! Linda Hamilton's face says it all...she conveys each and every emotion that Sarah is feeling without any words at all. Brava!!!
T-1000 is the best badass terminator ever!!!!
Agreed.
Robert Patrick's performance is absolute hilarious👏
I love the T 1000, it is so cool, you need to make a film with him in the main positive role.
@@bojanjovanovic3642 well in the Terminator genesys ending Arnold become t 1000
Because he is a cop. Get it? (Robo-cop)
I totally dig the little details in this film, like when the T-1000 passes through the bars and a quick shot of the pistol still behind the bars unable to morph through with him. How can anyone not like T2... PURE EPIC..
Linda Hamilton played this scene VERY well. The terror in her eyes when she sees the T-800 was genius.
I think this is the best movie ever. Literally every scene is great.
Linda Hamilton: unbelievable performance
One of the ONLY things that can make Sarah genuinely scared and revert back to her 1984 self is the sight of Arnold's T-800, it's causesd her so much pain and anguish, it's as if she's absolutely hopeless when she sees him, thinking it's all over, T2 is a timeless masterpiece
Man the cgi and practical effects still hold up honestly movies these days are a joke compared to this
Not all are
T2 is arguably the best action movie of all time and this is coming from a 25 year old who wasn't even alive when this movie was released
Another cgi hater
@@theblade1251 actually he praised the cg in the movie
@@theblade1251 all though i agree
Look at interstellar
All of the space scenes are cg
And beautiful as hell
This movie is awesome. T 1000 is such a terriffying vilain as a child I refused to watch this movie because of how much he was scaring the crap out of me.
He's like a force of nature. Relentless and ruthless. Whenever he was close to Sarah and Connor in my mind I would be like: Oh shit oh shit oh shit.
He haunted me for years.
15 if you're British.
What's best about this scene is when she first she's the T800, she freaks out like she did during the whole first movie, because she knows just how unstoppable it is. But when it says "Come with me if you want to live" that is the same line that Kyle said to Sarah when he was rescuing her from the T800 & seing that her son wasn't immediately gunned down by it, quickly decided to do what it said.
She's an intelligent character and knew that if the T800 really wanted to kill them, it would have done it in an instant.
1:05 is what happens when Mary Sue's go up against a character with actual depth.
Alicia Vikander would bodybag the T800 1v1
Depth? A Terminator? Y'all hate women so much. He did the same thing with the other two guys.
@@angelmora3660 If the Terminator had no depth, then the ending scene wouldn't have been sad at all because no one would've cared if he died.
Jesus fucking christ don't start with this shit.
Yeah that bit was pretty dumb. He'd just thrown a bunch of tough men all around the room so she thought it was a right idea to smack him across the face. 😂
I noticed at 2:20 right before the t-800 pulls the trigger on the gun, t-1000's head has already exploded...
Yeah, good old 90's special effects. If you have Braveheart on DVD, re-watch the scene where Wallace rides his horse onto that one guy's bed. Slow motion it to just before the mace hit's and you will see it's already a dummy re positioned to give the affect once it's hit. th-cam.com/video/1KdjUNIcP8k/w-d-xo.html. Try 1/4 speed at 48 seconds in the video.
sigh good eye
Literally unwatchable now
I wonder what is attached to that head and what leads to it under the shirt just under the left shoulder. Perhaps a small portion of explosives and hardwires.
just pretend the t-1000 did it preemptively to avoid the shot
This movie still looks amazing after almost 30 years. Usually the first film in a series is the best. But this is one of those rare sequels that surpass the original. Honestly, this movie is pure gold.
This scene is why I love T2 so freaking much.
This scene says a lot about people and how they react, almost on instinctive levels. Take Sarah for instance. 1984, she and some-guy-she-just-met-named-Kyle were on the run for their lives from an assassin who seemed like a well-trained, tenacious, accurate professional at first, only to be revealed progessively that it was the stuff of nightmares: A Hell-Beast Machine who seemingly couldn't be defeated, stopped, or slowed down! (Obviously, the Terminator could be hindered, but Sarah has had time to realize humans get tired, humans wear out. Machines don't.)
Time in between: She's preparing, she's training, she's hardened, skilled... Pretty much had years to prepare for this. So when she see's T-Arnold come through that doorway, you can see how all that training and mindset JUST EVAPORATED! No longer was she the badass patient of a mental ward who gives orderlies a run for their money. For the briefest glimpses, you see a grunge Wonder Woman morph into that of a frightened, helpless waitress who had no idea what the fuck was going on back in 1984.
Of course, all that training wasn't for nothing. In the first movie, she literally sat there and waited for Arnold to give her one in the dome before being saved by Kyle. At least in this scene, despite years of conditioning and training melting to those of their human cores, one can IMAGINE the sheer adrenaline flooding her system at that point. If 1984 was a flashbulb memory, she was watching that same lightbulb arc brightly, as surprised and shocked as Tom Edison (Or Tesla) was the day he had a breakthrough in the inventing process.
Despite all her training and preparation... She only knew one thing at that immediate moment: Run.
tldr
Linda Hamilton should have at least been up for an Oscar for this role. I think her performance ranks as the one of the best ever on film.
Linda Hamilton was the best performance in this movie by a mile....not too say the other actors weren't great but the emotional edge she gave to the role, especially when you consider her character in the first movie, is absolutely incredible work
Thanks for uploading, quality is amazing in 4K
I love how that lady with a broken arm decided to hit the terminator after he just tossed two big men through the window like rag dolls, and smashed a third one out cold against the wall. Such a brave lady!
0:53 playing the tutorial again after you beat the game
She's a great actress. Totally convinces me she's absolutely terrified, every time.
"It's okay mom, he's here to help"
*T1000 shows up behind the bars, everyone turns and looks at him*
"...but he's not."
One of my FAVOURITE scenes, her reaction when she sees him and the NOOOO gets me everytime, goosebumps included :D
