It was a stunt double actually, sorry to say. They cut to Arnold on the hood of the truck firing for a split second but the wide shot is the double. It's still awesome nevertheless!
Everybody loves the scene when the T800 unloads a whole magazine into the T1000. I love how the windshield spreads endlessly. 2:29 GO STRAIGHT! ...that's not straight ;-)
Kind of reminiscent of the first Terminator. Killing cyborg enters a hazardous truck, truck gets destroyed, he pops out, gets further damaged by the fuel/nitrogen it was carrying.
Him getting pissed, grabbing the rifle, running across the trucks, and then unloading a magazine point blank into the T1000's face will always be one of my favorite movies scenes/stunts of all time. Simple yet enjoyable, down to earth action.
I also like it when he punches out windows of the tanker truck and grabs the wheel, pulling the whole thing over on it's side. That must have been an insane stunt to set up.
It's really remarkable how many iconic scenes are not only from this movie, but also just how perfectly paced the climax of the movie is. The escape from Cyberdyne, the helicopter chase, the semi chase, the liquid nitrogen freezing scene, the fight in the foundry. It all blends together seamlessly, and manages to stay gripping the whole way, never falling victim to the "numbness" that modern action movies so often do. Where the spectacle is too far removed from reality, with silly physics or characters surviving the unsurvivable. The stakes were still straightforward, the logic of the time traveling hadn't yet become so convoluted that the narrative was bogged down by it, like in later sequels. It was just so many good ideas packed into one creative powerhouse movie.
@@embis3824 no a clip is not a magazine. a magazine is to feed ammunition into a firearm while a clip is to feed the magazine inside of a firearm. there is a big difference
Haha yeah, second unit kind of dropped the ball there. The only thing I could argue is that given the truck's state, it's the top speed that it could be driven safely and/or with control.
Earlier in the movie, when the Terminator is driving Sarah and John to the border near Mexico, Sarah tells the Terminator to "Keep it under 65mph, we can't afford to be pulled over". If you tell a computer to carry out a task a specific way, it will continue to do so, regardless of the circumstances.
i think this is the best action sequence of the entire film (possibly all time as well). the entire sequence of jumping onto the tanker, shooting the t1000, and then crashing the tanker is incredible and the soundtrack is perfection!
And the helicopter--which really did actually fly both under and and over those overpasses--unvelievable. No way anyone attempts that in today's movies!
@@pitushing93 He maybe one of few modern direct who can do a proper action movie. Inception use cgi in an action sequence while not making look fake. Avengers Endgame on the other hand despite I like the movie I can't help but to noticed how saturated it is in CGI.
@@chronoplex89 Interesting part is, unless it was absolutely god awful like the last scene in Black Panther, as long as the cgi was able to communicate what the story needed to tell, I dont think I really minded the noticeable cgi.

@@judgesmails2031 Listen to these Skywalker sounds. 2:14 to 2:18 Do you hear that sound? That is the sound of the funnel falling over and hitting water and striking and instantly killing Fabrizio from Titanic.
1:08 "Drive a minute" is telling me that he's pissed, which I don't blame him. T1000 was already outnumbering them with a larger vehicle, now he's gonna add insult to injury to ram them and play with them like that? Nah, T-800 gonna fight back with a grenade launcher :) My favorite part of this whole scene :)
I've always considered the freightliner as more of the monster in this chase than the actual T1000. The shots cameron takes just make IT seem like this nearly indestructible beast.
The moment at the 1:52 mark where it just starts playing that badass theme and Arnold just has a look on his face like "you know what, fuck it!" Goosebumps every time!
2:00 can’t believe that this was done for real with no safety lines how was that ever allowed one mistake and someone could get run over by the juggernaut of the highway
2:14 to 2:18 It isn't only the tires screeching what you hear. That metal sound you hear? It's making the same Skywalker sound as the funnel coming down from Titanic.
yeah that was hilarious then when it's out he tosses it like nothing then smashes through the windshield and yanks the steering wheel...his whole dgaf vibe was great
The action of him getting the machine gun and running across vehicles and blowing the T1000 away is spectacular, maybe the best action stunt ever...but the over-arching motivation...that he sacrifices himself, success or failure, trying to take out the T1000 so that Sarah and John can continue on, that choice, makes the scene TRULY SUPERIOR.
it's sad how Cameron gets so much shit nowadays from comic book movie dorks and other elitist douchebags. he is such a fantastic director, look at his entire filmography in general or this scene in particular to see what a master craftsman he really is.
All the idiots complaining about Cameron these days are foolish. When James goes in he does great things. I don't blame dark fate on him. The main thing people seem to hate about him is the avatar sequel talk which I can understand.
Goddamn this is scene is so fucking good. That said, John & Sarah would have been killed instantly when they hit the forklift. You can even see John's dummy get smashed at 2:35.
Planning a scene like this is tough but to know where to put the camera for maximum immersive experience requires innate talent. James Cameron is a genius. It holds so well for 30 years. It will go on to beat CGI laden made today that will look bad in years to come. Here the balance between practical and visual effects is just perfect.
You know shit’s about to get real at 2:00 with the determination. Then straight up 😂😂😂😂😂 at 2:04. I just love how serious but humorous Arnold plays his character. Great concept by Cameron too.
This is the kind of stuff that's missing from a lot of modern action sequences. Cameron gives us a great sense of both the geography of the scene and the choreography of the cars and actors. It's a dance but you can visually follow where everyone is and what's happening. In contrast, too many action sequences these days are a mess of shaky cam and over-edited fast cuts that only serve to confuse the audience. There are a lot of fast cuts here but they almost always cut on motion to keep things smooth and keep the audience properly oriented. If you ever want to learn how to do a proper action sequence, just watch any of the many ones in this film.
No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't get the real tanker to flip on its side. Hence why they resorted to miniatures, big miniatures nto be exact. The transition in shot is so perfect you can't even see the model.
Peter Kent actually spoke about this a few months ago and said they actually did flip the semi, but it was extremely difficult and many tons of re-bar and sand I believe had to be added to the tanker in order to achieve the flip.
1:53 i remember six year old me marking tf out in the theater when this first came out...fucking amazing. this whole movie still holds up amazingly well today
@@willarterberry3392I think the meaning was there was CGI used, but not everything in the film was done that way, like films today. They couldn't do it all CGI then anyway, because the technology was still at an early stage.

T-1000 for most relentless antagonist.
Jason is a close second

And scariest as fuck!
I might be getting ahead of myself here, but could T-1000 very well be the greatest villain in the history of all of Cinema?
Don't sleep on the original T-800
Okay, so everyone is praising this masterpiece and rightly so. But can someone explain how a big rig took a 40mm grenade and kept going at top speed?

Kind of reminiscent of the first Terminator. Killing cyborg enters a hazardous truck, truck gets destroyed, he pops out, gets further damaged by the fuel/nitrogen it was carrying.
lol you knew it was on when the terminator dropped his weapon and said forget it, let's do this lol
This pays homage to Duel 1971, a tanker truck, ramming thr car from behind and its a peterbilt
this truck is a Freightliner WFC
1979 Freightliner FLC120

Sequels = Guano.
obi wan Genesys had nice fights but The rest is pretty basic really. shame too.
Acording to the directwr the new movie start of after the second one so its like the 3 movie on didnt happen hopefully they do it right
Rise of the Machines had some genius and incredible moments albeit mixed with some bad. Unfortunate really
Don't insult guano like that.
