    There is a deleted scene where Lt. Traxler (the black cop) was beginning to believe Reese. It was right after he told the psychologist "It's just him and me." It then goes to Traxler and his partner in the other room and Traxler takes off his glasses and is deep in thought. His partner shrugs it off, saying Reese is just crazy and Traxler goes, "I hope you're right." Also when Reese finds Sarah and runs with her out the police station, they are stopped by a dying Traxler. He even addresses Reese by name. He then tells Kyle Sarah *had* to stay alive and gave his pistol to Reese and tells him to do all he can. Traxler has been in the game a long time. He knows liars and crazies. Sees them day in and day out. And now that he has experienced some of the future, with just ONE of them, he knows humanity is fucked.

      Not only that, but we were supposed to be bombed in the next 13 years so all of the future soldiers who drove around in cars during the war would be driving cars from around this time anyhow. It's not like they had flying cars or something and would have no idea what 80's cars were like. Obviously the car Kyle was in in the flashback (flash forward) was from this time so at least one vehicle made it all the way to the future.

    Reese knew how to deal with "old" cars (from the '80s and '90s) because, by his time in the future (as of this movie), the machines had taken over by the mid/late-'90s. So automobiles in his history pretty much stopped developing by then and wouldn't have security features we've since become accustomed to.

    As the Terminator sustains more more damage throughout the film, You can actually see some very distinct the differences in both the puppets, and the make up. After the police shooting the living tissue is dead that’s why the make up is very pale and it looks like the skin is hanging off his head. At this point the Terminator is a robot wearing a rotting corpse for skin. Hence the smell.

    Terminator 2 is an absolute masterpiece, it carries the story that much further and has so many more aspects to it that really flesh out the characters. The special FX still hold up today as with Predator, Robocop and Jurassic Park. The music is on point and the ending is truly epic and very poignant. It delves into every aspect of humanity from selflessness to family and revenge to redemption. I hope you two watch it very soon as it will change the way you see films and how they are supposed to be done.

    Kyle explaining to Sarah the what, who, and how of the situation when they first meet is one of the greatest uses of exposition in an action film.
    He's literally spilling out what his mission and statement is, while blazing through the streets of L.A. trying to dodge their killer.
    You get a hefty, direct explanation of why the movie exists, while being transported to the next scene, cutting for time, and all the while being an action scene itself.

    When they were looking to cast the part for the title role, originally the film company wanted O.J. Simpson, but ironically they felt that he didn't look the part to be a killer. Also at one point they wanted Arnold to play Reese since he was always in the hero roles, but both James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger felt it was a dumb idea, because then he would have to find someone bigger than Arnold to play the villain. But both of them felt that Arnold related much more to the Terminator and Cameron called up his own agent and immediately cast him in the title role.

    Unless you refer to everything that you see with your eyes, as "graphics", there are no "graphics" in these special effects. As a matter of fact, Terminator 2 was one of the very first major motion pictures, to incorporate CGI, in their special effects. But that was roughly 7 years after this.

    When the T-800 removes its damaged eyeball, that's actually a rubber puppet made by Stan Winston (a legendary visual effects artist who passed away in 2008, this movie was also his big break; he also made the Predator head for the Predator) since they obviously couldn't have Arnold scalpeling his own eye.
    The puppet's actually still around, but it looks like a mummified corpse nowadays due to rubber decay.
    Two small details that you can notice is that the T-800's eyebrows burn off when it jumps through the fire at the start of the chase out of the club (this is why it starts wearing sunglasses, to hide that it no longer has eyebrows), another is that Arnold's given paler make-up in scenes after the assault on the police station. It's also why the motel owner asks about the smell and flies are crawling all of the T-800's face: The T-800's organic surface layer has died from the damage it has sustained and is rotting.
    EDIT: Also the time paradox involves more than just John Connor and the picture. Remember what Reese called the unit model of the Terminator? Cyberdyne Systems Model 101. It isn't included in the final cut, but there's a deleted scene in the morning when Sarah is being taken to the ambulance, where the factory's owners go about recovering the pieces of the T-800 and looking at a computer chip and wondering if it's from Japan. The deleted scene ends with a pan up to reveal the company's name: Cyberdyne Systems. Skynet also exists because the T-800 was sent back in time.

    Mopeds are motorized, pedal-assisted scooters, the gasoline version of e-bikes. Scooters don't have pedals, or pegs usually, often just a flat floor for your feet, typically more storage than full motorcycles, and are mechanically speed-limited in most jurisdictions. Might be somewhat different now, as I haven't kept up with gas cycles for a while.

    In the early 80's Arnold was famous for weight lifting and playing Conan the Barbarian, but he wasn't top tier A list yet. That's why he would take a low budget villain role with few speaking lines. As luck would have it, this role would become his most famous when Terminator 2 hit theaters.

    Before you watch Terminator 2, I recommend checking out the Trailer called "Terminator 2 Teaser Endoskeleton Factory". I have never seen anybody react to it yet, so it would be cool if you did, it just lasts 1 minute. I think this is a brilliant and unique trailer from back in the day, because it doesnt spoil the plot at all, like it is the often the case in modern movie trailers. This trailer doesnt even contain a single scene from the movie itself, yet it perfectly explains the setup for the 2nd movie and why there is a second Terminator.

    What I love about y’all’s reactions is that your facial expressions during the movies you watch are so expressive, but your commentary is so low key. You can’t hide your real emotions. We see you.
    Anyway, I agree with everyone else: Terminator 2 is one of the best sequels ever made, is arguably better than the first, and is still considered one of the best American action movies of all time. Do NOT look up anything about it, not even a blurb you’d get on the DVD or online rental. Those things will spoil the movie right up front. Those of us who saw it in theaters had the plot ruined for us by trailers. We want to spare you that pain.

I like how the terminator had a gun with a laser sight, he's a robot he has perfect aim lol. The terminator was supposed to be the white cop, Lance Hendrikson who is in the Alien franchise and A LOT of sci-fi shit. Becasue he's from the future he doesn't know about car locks? They were driving old school pickups in the future with guns in the back, they have cars that work in the future.

    This came out in theaters when I was in high school. It's hard to overstate what a massive film this was. Violent action movies like this with the fast edits and the pumped up sound really got started in the 80s. Before Miami Vice, most movie shootouts (other than war movies) had guys with handguns and maybe shotguns. Cops often had .38 revolvers. But this movie went over the top. You just didn't see a whole precinct of cops get wasted with high powered weapons like that. I had to sneak into the movie theater to go see it on the big screen. Pretty much wore out our VHS copy of it, along with Scarface and Aliens. (Speaking of Aliens, you need to see that if you are a Cameron fan. Best movie he ever made.)
