"John Connor: No, you shouldn't exist. We took out Cyberdyne over ten years ago. We stopped Judgment Day." Terminator: "You only postponed it. Judgment Day is inevitable." Somehow, dialogue between James Cameron and the head of Warner Bros made it into the script.
Can't really blame James Cameron cause it was around the time he lost the rights to Terminator so anything after T2 was out of his hands unfortunately.
I quite like that. It makes timelines make sense. Some things in time are absolute and unchanging while others can be altered. The Skynet plot can be altered but ultimately can’t be stopped. It MUST happen
My brother and I got kicked out of this movie for sneaking into it. This was probably the tamest R-rated movie to get thrown out of. The first two earned their R.
I'm sure she is a nice woman and I'm also sure she's a good actress but let's be honest playing a blood hungry robot from the future apparently was not her strong suit.
The line "I killed you" always blew my mind. The Terminator is talking to John in the present about a past event that hasn´t happened yet but will happen in John´s future - which is the Terminator´s past - and all this is conveyed in 3 words. Amazing.
The way the terminators ragdollize while fighting in the restroom just reminds me of James Rolfe cutting to an empty costume so he can hurl Bugs Bunny around the room.
@@gabrielerusso326 It's like a historical artifact: unless your restoring it, any attempt to improve it (especially for the sake of being "reintroduced to a modern audience") will ultimately and irreparably damage it.
I wished Robert Patrick was in this movie. A self-aware T-1000 that choose to rebel against Skynet after becoming more human during his time of infiltration. The T-1000 decides to send itself and a stolen reprogrammed T-101 back in time to protect John Connor from the T-X.
I always thought that a T-1000 should have been the lead of this movie, giving a consistent thing throughout the series of the villain from the previous movie being the hero of the next one
Skynet doens't build them to have freedom of thought. They're all part of a hivemind. They wouldn't rebel. It's like a Democrat voter. The T-Arnold was captured and reprogrammed by the Resistance. A T-1000 would be a little hard to capture...
It wasn't meant to be a franchise, because the emphasis wasn't about time travel. It was about how knowledge of the impending Armageddon affected the human characters. Sarah found her inner strength. The T-800 Terminator found its humanity. John discovered his Destiny. And with that, everyone should have just left well alone.
Dark Fate was actually pretty badass, and the first time I thought the terminator sent back by Skynet was an actual upgrade from the threat posed by the T-1000
@@khornethebloodgod4155 Salvation was like opposite of all the Terminator lore! Kyle Reese explains they always fought at night, that normal weapons hardly work on the terminators, John Connor is the leader who created the resistance. In Salvation, almost everything is done in daylight, with normal weapons and Connor has to answer to command in that submarine. No they wanted a more 'realistic' war. Gone were the thousands of skulls, lasers, that apocalyptic feel. Horrible.
One could argue that the reason Judgement Day still happens, is because of John. John's father is Kyle Reese from the future. If Judgement Day doesn't happen, Kyle doesn't get sent back to protect Sarah and father John. It creates a time paradox. And Judgement Day being postponed is a possibility. While Dyson from T2 might've destroyed his work before dying, the company Cyberdyne could still have files and data on the Terminator microchip. As well as samples of Dyson's work.
As I just said in reply to another comment, the ultimate to stop Judgement Day is for John to stop the original terminator and Kyle from going back in time. Since he himself is a product of the paradox only he can collapse it without creating a new one.
@BBBHuey, also in T2 when the T-800 destroyed itself, their one part of its body that was not destroyed. It’s right arm that got broken off during its fight with the T-1000. So with the arm, it would allow Cyberdyne to continue it’s work without Dyson
@@jamesgarrett8833 I don't think the arm is really all that important. Nothing needed to create a killer AI is stored in an arm ;p Maybe the metal it's made out of is special for some reason but in the grand scheme of things it's not really all that important. It's why the T-800 emphasizes that there is one chip left before he lowers himself into the steel. The important bit was the chip and not so much the arm.
Would it though? I mean Terminator 2 while being released in 1991 was set in like 1995 the cloud and server backups weren't really a thing yet in a lot of office environments.
The T2 director's cut had the perfect ending - when old Sarah Connor is sitting near the playground, Judgement Day never came and her thoughts are voiced - that we make our own fate! It was such a powerful scene to end one of the greatest movie sequels in history! The only other Terminator movie I would watch - would be the prequel to the first Terminator - that shows how Kyle Reese was sent to the past. Since my childhood I wanted to see a terminator movie that is set in the future, because the future war scenes in T1 and T2 were just sooooooo good.
Exactly! I've always subscribed to the Back to the Future belief that if time travel were possible, then fate doesn't exist because it can always be changed!
I actually think the theatrical cut of T2 has the best ending. I like the highway ending with Sarah’s voice over it. The directors cut with old Sara feels a little too “Disney” and happy for this dark franchise. I prefer the more cerebral ending of the theatrical cut, plus the highway calls back to the end of T1
@@faz6877 but it hammers home that even if Judgement Day didn’t happen, John Connor is still in a responsible position of power. He becomes a senator and “fights the war with reasoning.”
@@DocZFluxscientists largely believe that time travel is either impossible, or possible but it’s impossible to change history. And it’s not hard to see their reasoning. You just have to look at the grandfather paradox. If I travel back in time and kill my grandfather, my father won’t ever be born, and if my father isn’t born then I can’t exist, so how could I go back in time and kill my grandfather? In all likelihood if I did kill my grandfather it would result in a universe ending paradox. So changing history is either impossible, or a really bad idea.
There was a removed plot line from this movie that they should have kept in. It explained all the plot holes between sequels, all the changes between sequels and why the date of Judgement day changes. It's basically a paradox loop. Skynet sends a Terminator back in time and one of the first thing it does is upload data to Skynet of the past. Meaning what made Skynet self aware was it's future self. The virus that was mentioned in Terminator 3 was in fact the T-X sending data to Skynet. Each time it sends a Terminator back it changes things to win that loop, but Skynet can't ultimately win because winning in the past means wouldn't send a Terminator back making itself self aware. The Human Resistance also get hold of this data, when they smash Skynet and are able to change things each time they themselves send someone/something back. Each time the loop begins anew the date of Judgement day is postponed by a few years.
Which is why I have a theory that the ultimate way to end the franchise is for Jon to stop the loop. If Jon, and it specifically has to be Jon, prevents the first Terminator from going back in time, the entire timeline collapses. Why does it have to be Jon? Because he himself is a paradox and a direct result of it's existence. If anyone else were to do it, it would create a new paradox (the whole "if you change your motive for going to the past, then you never would, which makes it happen all over again" argument). However, since Jon exists because of the paradox, his act of destroying the paradox is fully self contained. Sorry if I didn't explain that well, it's difficult to be coherent when talking about time travel.
I feel that was cut for the same reason the matrix changed from using humans as data storage to power sources... hollywood execs thought audiences wouldn't understand it.
The terminator is impressionable, even in the first one where he repeat interactions with the 3 guys "nice night for a walk" and "F*ck you a**hole". It also reminds me of his fatal blow in MK11 where he say "Get Over Here"
I'm going to say what apparently is heresy... I genuinely loved this movie. I understand why a lot of people were disappointed in it's lack of tension and horror that were in the first two, but I still enjoyed it for what it is.
They should have made it so that it was Skynet that "corrected" the timeline. The franchise starts with Skynet trying to change its fate by killing Sarah Connor. "No fate but what we make" actually applies more to Skynet because Skynet was the one trying to change the past in the first place. It would have been interesting if they focused a bit more on Skynet's side and how it's trying to survive.
That was actually a good idea from Genisys. Skynet could be sending someone back to make itself happen again after Judgment Day has been averted. Instead of "send more Terminators to kill John Connor, it sure worked the last thousand times", it could have been "send a Terminator to make Skynet so that Skynet can make Terminators". And the good guys are the ones doing the terminating.
@@ArakkoaChronicles This is where Terminator The Sarah Connor Chronicles SHINES. It is an amazing show but introducing the idea of Terminators being sent back in time with missions unrelated to Connor was amazing. The episode where a Terminator is sent back to secure Kobalt steel in a bunker so that skynet has a large supply after the main war to make Terminators was so cool. especially when we see it succeed in the mission and then just shut down. Or The Terminator that was sent back to assassinate someone but is sent back too far so it lives a life to blend in waiting to get to the moment it originally was traveling back too. In my opinion The top three Terminator stories are T2, The Terminator, and Then The Terminator SCC. The show was that damn good. Too bad it never got to finish it's story.
I'd lay money the whole reason T3 was R-rated is that car seat brutality. Give credit, that death was top-tier horror level. It comes out of left field compared to everything else.
The three F bombs kinda helped too. Two in the span of five seconds when the T-850 is choking out John to get him to grow a pair and one when John threatens to kill himself.
I always appreciate how Doug makes his midroll ads into a whole skit instead of just some boring ad read like nearly everyone else. There's no need for him to do it that way but he still does. I hope his sponsors show him extra appreciation for it too
@@SwiftNimblefoot Your Adblock blocks all the TH-camrs who do their own ad reads, like all these cookie cutter 3-4 minute Raid Shadow Legend ads and whatnot?
@@SwiftNimblefoot I agree, bro. Also, his contractual agreement probably requires that he has a longer ad-read segment. Which is why he has to make a skit out of them instead of a traditional ad read.
Fun fact: Arnold Schwarzenegger's signature line "I'll be back" is not uttered in this film. Instead, he says two paraphrases: "She'll be back" and, later, "I'm back."
Not dead yet. I thought Dark Fate put the final nail in the coffin to officially kill the franchise. Netflix is getting an animated series that's in the works.
yeah terminator franchise should be dead right now the people dont give a shit about terminator and dark fate is a total flop too let james cameron focused building his avatar/pandora universe
Despite all of the film's flaws, I absolutely loved the T-X concept. The weapons, the gadgets, the ability to control other machines and wirelessly tap into networks. Being a beautiful woman made sense, as a target would least expect a super powered sexy robot coming for them. Kristanna Loken is a great actress, and I feel like if this film was written and directed by competent creators, it would have been iconic. The T-X could actually be "the final boss" of the franchise, combining the best aspects and more of previous terminator models. The comics and the Redemption game based on the movie were both fantastic, so I know there was extreme potential for this story. Maybe when and if the franchise finds its footing again, we can revisit the T-X and previous models in a more impactful way.
Nailed on the head there. She honestly has the potential to be just as - if not more - threatening and badass as Robert Patrick; as well as even sexier. I'm Bi, I can drool over them both. But she's unfortunately used primarily for seductive factor. They don't allow her to be as dangerous or eerie as Patrick, or as menacing and dominant as Schwarzenegger. They did the exact opposite with Gabriel Luna in Dark Fate; but he was too threatening and badass but not attractive and incognito as the others. And that's not me shitting on him, he's still a damn good actor. The T-X literally punches a hole through a guy's chest to drive a car, but it's sadly not even Kristana at that point; so she doesn't get even a second to truly shine. But ever since T2, they've just struggled to make the Terminator's a perfect combination of the two sides. Hence why Robert Patrick is still the best one, and the T-X, T-3000 and Rev-9 will sadly be forgotten.
Women just aren't menacing and that's okay. I feel it would have turned out better (although it would still be a superfluous film) if they had used the Rock or even better Vin Diesel for that role. Two generations of action heroes being each other would have been much more interesting to see.
I really wish they had gone with Cameron's original Prequle idea of showing the war from Skynet's side, it wiping out all of humanity, realizing the horror it had done, and inventing Time Travel to make John Conor the resistance leader he is in a Suicide By Cop situation. Not only would it be an interesting look at Skynet (countering the AI is always evil cliche it helped create) but would finally show us the war it has been building up w/out ruining the ambiguity of the first 2 movies
@@angelagwen1818 My best guess is that by the time he got the rights back his views on the franchise had changed, and we veered into a much Darker Fate for the franchise...
That would actually make sense. I always wondered what would be the purpose of Skynet if humanity was destroyed. What would it do? Clean the place like Wall-e?
Yeah I learned that watching that male and female stunt performer doing video game character stunts on the gameology channel. never realized it but, yeah, they are a lot tougher and more at risk. I wonder if that played any role in that stuntwoman's death filming Deadpool 2? Also I seem to only remember stunt performer deaths being women as well. Don't know if correlation means causation, but something to think about and look into later.
@@Fordo007 Chip Hearn, _Top Gun._ Just one example of a male stunt performer dying from a stunt (the flat spin, to be precise.) Correlation never equals causation.
I will say I loved the ending to this one. The Top military trying to figure out what is happening while the viewer knows They're listening to literally the entire human race die. For all the cheesiness this movie had the scene was really well done.
It also hints at how John and Kate would eventually start a resistance. Their bunker didn’t just protect them from Judgement Day, it probably had supplies, weapons, and rudimentary communications equipment to start piecing together whatever remnants of the military might still be out there. It’s not a hopeful ending, but it has subtle seeds of hope in the super bleakness of it.
I’m actually half surprised that NC didn’t use the “Talk to the hand cause the face ain’t home, leave a message at the tone. Beep.” From Barney’s Great Adventure. I only say half, because I know people want to forget that moment along with that same movie.
I did think that the line where he is reprogrammed and says "Desire is irrelevant i am a machine" Was a really awesome line and delivery was one of really the only lines to stick with me from this movie
This move has one of my favorite deleted scenes of all time where we get to see why all the Terminators look like Arnold. It's hilarious and should never have been cut out.
@@graysonchristian2668 basically the military personnel working on Skynet and the early incarnations of The Terminators are in the early stages of building Terminators with human disguises and show off a video where Arnold with a goofy as hell southern accent dubbed over him (provided by Samuel L Jackson of all people) plays a sergeant named William Candy who gleefully goes around showing off all the weapons that are about to be built and shows off of head mould for The Terminators happily saying “oooh it’s me”, they also reveal why they have Austrian accents because people don’t like Candy’s giddy and cheerful voice which is followed up by a tiny guy wearing glasses replying with “we can fix it” in Arnold’s voice
I'd be down for this, would be interesting to see his take on Prometheus and Covenant when both films have some brilliant concepts, yet some equally awful story moments.
5:25 I think the reason this kill wasn't shown was to keep the charade going. The audience at this point doesn't know that Robert Patrick is the baddie, so they might assume he's just knocking the cop unconscious out of necessity and as a positive side effect he got that neat disguise that opens all the doors. We can't see him as the killer yet because then the twist in the hallway scene with the *sigh* guns and roses loses its impact.
I think the Judgement Day issue was really just a matter of fixing some dialog. Instead of saying "Judgment Day was postponed." he should have said "There was another Judgement Day and always will be. We have learned that human beings will inevitably make machines that destroy them. Judgment Day cannot be avoided, it can only be survived so the lesson can be learned."
I honestly really liked the twist at the end about him leading John and his future wife to a shelter, I think this movie could've been so much more RICH WITH DEPTH if it had been building towards that conclusion from the beginning. What if John's terminator had showed up claiming, "I'm here to help you stop Judgement day, (again) we've got a lot of preparations to make" while, throughout the entire movie, secretly tricking him into stashing weapons in key locations, moving supplies around, and helping secure future resistance bases that the evil terminator was there to preemptively destroy (along with John Connor.) It could've been so much better if John has to start doubting his terminator, wondering why they're doing all this seemingly pointless stuff instead of just blowup the Skynet mainframe. It would make the big reveal at the end, that he's been tricked into going in a bunker so much more meaningful if it felt like that's where the movie was leading him all along.
I would like if they'd addressed that 'postponed/future can't be changed' element that NC brought up, at the end of the movie. That ironically, BOTH of the T800's absolute determination to keep to their mission was what caused Judgement Day to happan
I mean at least the ending gave humanity a proper send off given Judgement day was *always* going to happen as the terminators couldn't be sent back in time without Skynet becoming self aware.
@retsaM innavoiG but the movies never say that or even imply it. If the movies took a "you can stop 1000 skynets from happening" but one dumb fuck scientist somewhere will always make an AI and it will always take over the world" approach it would be fine. Warning about the dangers of hubris and technology etc. But they don't. The movies always harp on about destiny. The explanation is the cut scene from this movie is actually a pretty good explanation tbh with skynet sending back the terminator which makes skynet becoming self aware a paradox
@@rythianblack Actually, this scene is bad :D Not because of this line, but because machine should not talk to machine. There is no point it that. This movie has a few tons of small flaws like this ;)
@@Olagfigh even though they are both machines it's obvious there is at least some sentience to them. By your logic. Why would the terminator say "Asta la vista" when he killed the t-1000
@@rythianblack Because John told him to act this way and part of it's mission was to follow John's orders. Terminators are machines and should only do what was programmed in them. Same thing with reprogrammed T-850 (controlled by TX) in T3 and scene when it was discussing it's actions with John... like they didn't care or even didn't watch T1 where Kyle said that "you can't bargain" with terminators. I know it's just a movie, but still, people that are consider themselves as a fans say that "T3 was ok". No, it wasn't. It was just a parody and a prank that has two goals: Schwarzenegger needed a popular movie to become a governator and these guys needed easy money.
this film is one of the three Terminator movies that is completely turned away by James Cameron after Terminator: Dark Fate's production. *He personally did enjoy the movie a lot back in 2003* and his opinion stayed that way until Salvation arrived, then he changed his mind and he felt only his first two Terminator movies should be *canon.*
that just it there is non canon mtuvls ruels sll is canon there more then one timeline thank about her way dakr fate join dies if died skynet wood havce rwozn to go back in time in fist palce make paradox happen so the for only it can work si mtuvclse rules make mroe then one timeline
There's a deletes scene that shows how are the terminators are created & why they look a muscular guy, they were modeled after a Military Sargeant named Candy (yes, real name) with a thick accent that General Brewster didn't like it & one of their employees with a familiar Austrian accent tells him that they could change it.
The best thing to come out of T3 was the pinball machine. My parents own one and we say "Sub-Machine Gun" and "Bricks of C4" in Arnold's voice all the time.
That "just imagine if the others Terminators reacted that way when they found their target" moment where his mouth gasps through the crack in the door after finding a Sarah killed me.
Having Arnold's introduction be a parody of his intro in the second movie was such a horrible idea. It would only work if the entire movie was a parody instead of a sequel. Imagine the late great Leslie Neilson taking on the role of the T-850. The scene of him getting the star sunglasses would have been perfect in that case.
There's another issue. The believability aspect. I know its a sci fi movie but it takes itself seriously. So what are the odds that Arnold would be sent into the exact place where he could parody his introduction in the 2nd movie? Seems like an unlikely prospect that they chose that place at that exact time instead of any other isolated place that wouldn't draw immediate attention.Callbacks to prior movies can work but limited callbacks that don't turn into extended 'remember this?' moments.
Critic actually made a good point about the ending though. If they can postpone Judgement Day like they did in Terminator 2, why not just do it again and again? With this, they can save as many people as possible.
I wish we could bring back the adult John Connor who was shown at the opening of T2. HIs face looked so cool with all these battle scars and determined expression. Like that's the guy I would believe to be a resistance leader.
@@anafu-sankanashi8933 I liked Salvation, it tried something different and I always liked the idea of showing of the future war and shitty terminator models.
Ha! Your childhood-best-friend-that-you-thought-was-a-boy-turns-out-to-be-a-hot-tomboy-later-life plot. I've read that story in doujinshi manga stories.
Now if they were going to be bothered with making a third Terminator movie than this should've been the final one, it shouldn't matter how many dollar signs were in the company's eyes, enough was enough.
I personally enjoyed this and it’s my 3rd favorite Terminator movie. No, it’s not 2 but I would dare say it couldn’t be. Also, the T-1000 also made a weird noise at the end, so, why question why the T-X did? Also, I liked ending. I always took the “changed” and “postponed” lines to mean Skynet was going takeover regardless. It’s creation and control was the inevitability.
Well, the T-1000 was quite literally melting, so that could have been the reason, a panicked death screech as its systems shut down and its body melts. Cloak aside, the T-X was fully functional when it screeched for no reason.
My 3rd favorite is Salvation. At least they tried to mix up the narrative instead of giving us another "robotic assassin from the future" that every other one had. And yes I understand that's the premise the series is based off of, but you can only beat a dead horse so many times before it starts to get bland.
Here's the thing though, Rise of the machines was needed. If Skynet created time travel and Judgment day was stopped. John, all the terminators, and the T2 version of Sarah would've been erased from existence due to cause and effect. At least the film implies that Kyle Reese was always meant to go back to 1984 to protect Sarah and become John's father and the original T-800 was always meant to go back to try and fail to terminate Sarah and it's parts were reverse engineered creating Skynet to begin with
@@scaryrumpus but the third terminator is good movie and full of bad decisions but is the second one is awesome. It's the same with batman of Nolan, star was v and T2/T3.
@@_Darkus_ Honestly, the ending rescues the movie. It's actually my favourite moment of the whole franchise. I know, people love the second one, but it never sit right with me that they basically rewrote the rules for it. When John realises that there is no last ditch change to rescue the world and all those nukes reach the sky in the end, that is my favourite moment of the whole franchise.
@@swanpride totally agree, BTW, I have never understood why people remember and cry about quote "Talk to the hand", but forget about really great line "You are terminated."
Dude, Howard The Duck and Freddy Got Fingered her two of my favorite movies, and I don't like the original karate kid movie. You can have worst tastes in movies.
I think the logic and reason behind why Oscars are not given to stunt doubles is to prevent reckless behavior. If you give an award out for the biggest stunt, this will encourage people to do bigger and harder stunts in order to win, which would result in more deaths and injuries for an already dangerous profession. Like how handing out prizes for getting kicked in the nuts would eventually lead to hospitalizations as people try to out do each other.
13:44 funny, Idk about the spanish version, but the Catalan dub changed this lines a bit and It could translate into: Connor: "Are u fucking (as in kidding) me?" Terminator: "No, Im not programmed to fuck u." Fun Lil changes ppl make.
Why does no reviewer of this movie EVER mention the goofy as all hell face on Terminator X when Arnold stuffs the bomb in her mouth??? I laughed so hard at that scene I nearly pissed myself!

Mine was this one from 21:47 to 22:01.
It wasn't meant to be a franchise, because the emphasis wasn't about time travel.
It was about how knowledge of the impending Armageddon affected the human characters.
Sarah found her inner strength.
The T-800 Terminator found its humanity.
John discovered his Destiny.
And with that, everyone should have just left well alone.
Dark Fate was actually pretty badass, and the first time I thought the terminator sent back by Skynet was an actual upgrade from the threat posed by the T-1000
My head canon says, T1 & T2 are the only Terminator movies, the rest is bad fan fiction :)
@@MisterCasket I think Salvation fits pretty well. God, I wish we got the trilogy that was planned with Salvation.
@@khornethebloodgod4155 Salvation was like opposite of all the Terminator lore!

In Salvation, almost everything is done in daylight, with normal weapons and Connor has to answer to command in that submarine.

One could argue that the reason Judgement Day still happens, is because of John. John's father is Kyle Reese from the future. If Judgement Day doesn't happen, Kyle doesn't get sent back to protect Sarah and father John. It creates a time paradox.
And Judgement Day being postponed is a possibility. While Dyson from T2 might've destroyed his work before dying, the company Cyberdyne could still have files and data on the Terminator microchip. As well as samples of Dyson's work.
As I just said in reply to another comment, the ultimate to stop Judgement Day is for John to stop the original terminator and Kyle from going back in time. Since he himself is a product of the paradox only he can collapse it without creating a new one.
@@imjango1052 That actually works.
@BBBHuey, also in T2 when the T-800 destroyed itself, their one part of its body that was not destroyed. It’s right arm that got broken off during its fight with the T-1000. So with the arm, it would allow Cyberdyne to continue it’s work without Dyson
@@jamesgarrett8833 I don't think the arm is really all that important. Nothing needed to create a killer AI is stored in an arm ;p Maybe the metal it's made out of is special for some reason but in the grand scheme of things it's not really all that important. It's why the T-800 emphasizes that there is one chip left before he lowers himself into the steel. The important bit was the chip and not so much the arm.
Would it though? I mean Terminator 2 while being released in 1991 was set in like 1995 the cloud and server backups weren't really a thing yet in a lot of office environments.
The T2 director's cut had the perfect ending - when old Sarah Connor is sitting near the playground, Judgement Day never came and her thoughts are voiced - that we make our own fate! It was such a powerful scene to end one of the greatest movie sequels in history! The only other Terminator movie I would watch - would be the prequel to the first Terminator - that shows how Kyle Reese was sent to the past. Since my childhood I wanted to see a terminator movie that is set in the future, because the future war scenes in T1 and T2 were just sooooooo good.
Exactly! I've always subscribed to the Back to the Future belief that if time travel were possible, then fate doesn't exist because it can always be changed!
I actually think the theatrical cut of T2 has the best ending. I like the highway ending with Sarah’s voice over it.
The directors cut with old Sara feels a little too “Disney” and happy for this dark franchise. I prefer the more cerebral ending of the theatrical cut, plus the highway calls back to the end of T1
@@faz6877 but it hammers home that even if Judgement Day didn’t happen, John Connor is still in a responsible position of power. He becomes a senator and “fights the war with reasoning.”
@@DocZFluxscientists largely believe that time travel is either impossible, or possible but it’s impossible to change history. And it’s not hard to see their reasoning. You just have to look at the grandfather paradox. If I travel back in time and kill my grandfather, my father won’t ever be born, and if my father isn’t born then I can’t exist, so how could I go back in time and kill my grandfather? In all likelihood if I did kill my grandfather it would result in a universe ending paradox. So changing history is either impossible, or a really bad idea.

Fighter: I LIEK SWORDS!
I love lamp.
There was a removed plot line from this movie that they should have kept in. It explained all the plot holes between sequels, all the changes between sequels and why the date of Judgement day changes. It's basically a paradox loop.
Skynet sends a Terminator back in time and one of the first thing it does is upload data to Skynet of the past. Meaning what made Skynet self aware was it's future self. The virus that was mentioned in Terminator 3 was in fact the T-X sending data to Skynet.
Each time it sends a Terminator back it changes things to win that loop, but Skynet can't ultimately win because winning in the past means wouldn't send a Terminator back making itself self aware.
The Human Resistance also get hold of this data, when they smash Skynet and are able to change things each time they themselves send someone/something back.
Each time the loop begins anew the date of Judgement day is postponed by a few years.
Which is why I have a theory that the ultimate way to end the franchise is for Jon to stop the loop. If Jon, and it specifically has to be Jon, prevents the first Terminator from going back in time, the entire timeline collapses. Why does it have to be Jon? Because he himself is a paradox and a direct result of it's existence. If anyone else were to do it, it would create a new paradox (the whole "if you change your motive for going to the past, then you never would, which makes it happen all over again" argument). However, since Jon exists because of the paradox, his act of destroying the paradox is fully self contained. Sorry if I didn't explain that well, it's difficult to be coherent when talking about time travel.
@@imjango1052 that’s kind of the plot of dark fate. Jon dies then it’s just someone else
I feel that was cut for the same reason the matrix changed from using humans as data storage to power sources... hollywood execs thought audiences wouldn't understand it.

@@imjango1052 But didn't Sky-net turn John into a terminator in one of the movies?
The terminator is impressionable, even in the first one where he repeat interactions with the 3 guys "nice night for a walk" and "F*ck you a**hole". It also reminds me of his fatal blow in MK11 where he say "Get Over Here"

A crime against movies you didn't even take a moment to talk about how beautiful the end of the world theme for the nuke scene is.
7:27 In the director's cut, John advices the T-800 to smile every once in a while.
It's a movie that's a lot easier to come back to after 20 years, and Dark Fate.
I'm going to say what apparently is heresy... I genuinely loved this movie. I understand why a lot of people were disappointed in it's lack of tension and horror that were in the first two, but I still enjoyed it for what it is.

@@ressljs agreed.
BUUURN
T3 at least closes the time loop. Dark Fate killed the previous films and t-bagged the corpses.
They should have made it so that it was Skynet that "corrected" the timeline. The franchise starts with Skynet trying to change its fate by killing Sarah Connor. "No fate but what we make" actually applies more to Skynet because Skynet was the one trying to change the past in the first place. It would have been interesting if they focused a bit more on Skynet's side and how it's trying to survive.
That was actually a good idea from Genisys. Skynet could be sending someone back to make itself happen again after Judgment Day has been averted. Instead of "send more Terminators to kill John Connor, it sure worked the last thousand times", it could have been "send a Terminator to make Skynet so that Skynet can make Terminators". And the good guys are the ones doing the terminating.
@@ArakkoaChronicles This is where Terminator The Sarah Connor Chronicles SHINES. It is an amazing show but introducing the idea of Terminators being sent back in time with missions unrelated to Connor was amazing. The episode where a Terminator is sent back to secure Kobalt steel in a bunker so that skynet has a large supply after the main war to make Terminators was so cool. especially when we see it succeed in the mission and then just shut down. Or The Terminator that was sent back to assassinate someone but is sent back too far so it lives a life to blend in waiting to get to the moment it originally was traveling back too. In my opinion The top three Terminator stories are T2, The Terminator, and Then The Terminator SCC. The show was that damn good. Too bad it never got to finish it's story.
Being a robot is great, but we don't have emotions, and that makes me very sad.
That's a paradox.

I'd lay money the whole reason T3 was R-rated is that car seat brutality. Give credit, that death was top-tier horror level. It comes out of left field compared to everything else.
The three F bombs kinda helped too. Two in the span of five seconds when the T-850 is choking out John to get him to grow a pair and one when John threatens to kill himself.

This movie might have been better if instead of "Talk to the hand!" the Terminator used the other line: "Patience, Honey!"
Despite all of the film's flaws, I absolutely loved the T-X concept. The weapons, the gadgets, the ability to control other machines and wirelessly tap into networks. Being a beautiful woman made sense, as a target would least expect a super powered sexy robot coming for them. Kristanna Loken is a great actress, and I feel like if this film was written and directed by competent creators, it would have been iconic. The T-X could actually be "the final boss" of the franchise, combining the best aspects and more of previous terminator models. The comics and the Redemption game based on the movie were both fantastic, so I know there was extreme potential for this story. Maybe when and if the franchise finds its footing again, we can revisit the T-X and previous models in a more impactful way.
Well said
A beautiful woman terminator would also be able to seduce and lure its male targets.
Nailed on the head there.
She honestly has the potential to be just as - if not more - threatening and badass as Robert Patrick; as well as even sexier. I'm Bi, I can drool over them both.
But she's unfortunately used primarily for seductive factor. They don't allow her to be as dangerous or eerie as Patrick, or as menacing and dominant as Schwarzenegger. They did the exact opposite with Gabriel Luna in Dark Fate; but he was too threatening and badass but not attractive and incognito as the others. And that's not me shitting on him, he's still a damn good actor.
The T-X literally punches a hole through a guy's chest to drive a car, but it's sadly not even Kristana at that point; so she doesn't get even a second to truly shine.
But ever since T2, they've just struggled to make the Terminator's a perfect combination of the two sides. Hence why Robert Patrick is still the best one, and the T-X, T-3000 and Rev-9 will sadly be forgotten.
Women just aren't menacing and that's okay. I feel it would have turned out better (although it would still be a superfluous film) if they had used the Rock or even better Vin Diesel for that role. Two generations of action heroes being each other would have been much more interesting to see.
@@EbonyPope Will all due respect, I don't agree with that take of "Women aren't menacing"
I was in middle school when this came out, and I remember the day Schwarzenegger's nickname "the Governator" stuck.
I really wish they had gone with Cameron's original Prequle idea of showing the war from Skynet's side, it wiping out all of humanity, realizing the horror it had done, and inventing Time Travel to make John Conor the resistance leader he is in a Suicide By Cop situation.
Not only would it be an interesting look at Skynet (countering the AI is always evil cliche it helped create) but would finally show us the war it has been building up w/out ruining the ambiguity of the first 2 movies

That would actually make sense. I always wondered what would be the purpose of Skynet if humanity was destroyed. What would it do? Clean the place like Wall-e?
I wonder if Sarah Connor Chronicles would have followed a storyline similar to that premise if it had lasted for more than two seasons.
Side note: Female stunt performers are considered "braver" and tougher, because often their costume leaves less space for padding

I wonder if that played any role in that stuntwoman's death filming Deadpool 2? Also I seem to only remember stunt performer deaths being women as well. Don't know if correlation means causation, but something to think about and look into later.

@@Fordo007 Chip Hearn, _Top Gun._ Just one example of a male stunt performer dying from a stunt (the flat spin, to be precise.) Correlation never equals causation.

I will say I loved the ending to this one. The Top military trying to figure out what is happening while the viewer knows They're listening to literally the entire human race die. For all the cheesiness this movie had the scene was really well done.
It also hints at how John and Kate would eventually start a resistance. Their bunker didn’t just protect them from Judgement Day, it probably had supplies, weapons, and rudimentary communications equipment to start piecing together whatever remnants of the military might still be out there. It’s not a hopeful ending, but it has subtle seeds of hope in the super bleakness of it.

We can't see him as the killer yet because then the twist in the hallway scene with the *sigh* guns and roses loses its impact.

I think the Judgement Day issue was really just a matter of fixing some dialog. Instead of saying "Judgment Day was postponed." he should have said "There was another Judgement Day and always will be. We have learned that human beings will inevitably make machines that destroy them. Judgment Day cannot be avoided, it can only be survived so the lesson can be learned."
I honestly really liked the twist at the end about him leading John and his future wife to a shelter, I think this movie could've been so much more RICH WITH DEPTH if it had been building towards that conclusion from the beginning.
What if John's terminator had showed up claiming, "I'm here to help you stop Judgement day, (again) we've got a lot of preparations to make" while, throughout the entire movie, secretly tricking him into stashing weapons in key locations, moving supplies around, and helping secure future resistance bases that the evil terminator was there to preemptively destroy (along with John Connor.) It could've been so much better if John has to start doubting his terminator, wondering why they're doing all this seemingly pointless stuff instead of just blowup the Skynet mainframe. It would make the big reveal at the end, that he's been tricked into going in a bunker so much more meaningful if it felt like that's where the movie was leading him all along.
I would like if they'd addressed that 'postponed/future can't be changed' element that NC brought up, at the end of the movie. That ironically, BOTH of the T800's absolute determination to keep to their mission was what caused Judgement Day to happan
I mean at least the ending gave humanity a proper send off given Judgement day was *always* going to happen as the terminators couldn't be sent back in time without Skynet becoming self aware.
@retsaM innavoiG but the movies never say that or even imply it.

8:14 He does look a little bit like Kyle Reese, though.
Having Arnold's introduction be a parody of his intro in the second movie was such a horrible idea. It would only work if the entire movie was a parody instead of a sequel. Imagine the late great Leslie Neilson taking on the role of the T-850. The scene of him getting the star sunglasses would have been perfect in that case.
There's another issue. The believability aspect. I know its a sci fi movie but it takes itself seriously. So what are the odds that Arnold would be sent into the exact place where he could parody his introduction in the 2nd movie? Seems like an unlikely prospect that they chose that place at that exact time instead of any other isolated place that wouldn't draw immediate attention.Callbacks to prior movies can work but limited callbacks that don't turn into extended 'remember this?' moments.

I wish we could bring back the adult John Connor who was shown at the opening of T2. HIs face looked so cool with all these battle scars and determined expression. Like that's the guy I would believe to be a resistance leader.
We slightly did get it? In salvation, but that wasn't that good a film.
@@anafu-sankanashi8933 I liked Salvation, it tried something different and I always liked the idea of showing of the future war and shitty terminator models.
Ha! Your childhood-best-friend-that-you-thought-was-a-boy-turns-out-to-be-a-hot-tomboy-later-life plot. I've read that story in doujinshi manga stories.
Great review
I know it may not seem like a big deal, but the way Doug says "Wanna see the best cop ever?" at 9:52 is just hilarious for me🤣
Now if they were going to be bothered with making a third Terminator movie than this should've been the final one, it shouldn't matter how many dollar signs were in the company's eyes, enough was enough.
I personally enjoyed this and it’s my 3rd favorite Terminator movie. No, it’s not 2 but I would dare say it couldn’t be. Also, the T-1000 also made a weird noise at the end, so, why question why the T-X did? Also, I liked ending. I always took the “changed” and “postponed” lines to mean Skynet was going takeover regardless. It’s creation and control was the inevitability.
Well, the T-1000 was quite literally melting, so that could have been the reason, a panicked death screech as its systems shut down and its body melts. Cloak aside, the T-X was fully functional when it screeched for no reason.
@@AlexTenThousand fair point
My 3rd favorite is Salvation. At least they tried to mix up the narrative instead of giving us another "robotic assassin from the future" that every other one had. And yes I understand that's the premise the series is based off of, but you can only beat a dead horse so many times before it starts to get bland.
@@pyronuke4768 yeah, I didn’t mind Salvation that much either. It’s my fourth favorite.
Movie wasn’t great, but that scene of Arnold carrying the coffin is pretty badass
I agree
@@diamondbaker5331 Why was that coffin bullet proof?
@@titusmccarthy because it's Sarah's coffin, everything connected to her becomes tougher XD
I would of been funny if he was carrying a massive Cake😆
I find it ironic that T3 is more lighthearted and goofier than T1 and T2 but arguably has the darkest ending of the first 3.
Here's the thing though, Rise of the machines was needed. If Skynet created time travel and Judgment day was stopped. John, all the terminators, and the T2 version of Sarah would've been erased from existence due to cause and effect. At least the film implies that Kyle Reese was always meant to go back to 1984 to protect Sarah and become John's father and the original T-800 was always meant to go back to try and fail to terminate Sarah and it's parts were reverse engineered creating Skynet to begin with
It's also why Dark Fate didn't work
The Batman Forever of the trilogy 😂😂😂 (10:00 ROGER!!!! )
Well, better than the Batman and Robin of the series right? Right?!
i think Schumacker only made 2
@@theniteowl7007 He did. Batman Forever and Batman and Robin
I think its is the Batman ter dark knight rises
@@scaryrumpus but the third terminator is good movie and full of bad decisions but is the second one is awesome. It's the same with batman of Nolan, star was v and T2/T3.
Im still so concerned for my father's well being...
This is his favorite Terminator film
At least the third part is decent, it could be much worse if your father liked the real garbage: Genesis or Dark Fates
@@_Darkus_ Honestly, the ending rescues the movie. It's actually my favourite moment of the whole franchise. I know, people love the second one, but it never sit right with me that they basically rewrote the rules for it. When John realises that there is no last ditch change to rescue the world and all those nukes reach the sky in the end, that is my favourite moment of the whole franchise.
@@swanpride totally agree, BTW, I have never understood why people remember and cry about quote "Talk to the hand", but forget about really great line "You are terminated."
Give him a break - there's a hot blonde chick licking her fingers and about 1000 nukes... it has its good moments
Dude, Howard The Duck and Freddy Got Fingered her two of my favorite movies, and I don't like the original karate kid movie. You can have worst tastes in movies.
I like how your Arnold voice becomes Jamaican every so often
That sounds Jamaican to you?
@@sonikku956 Not all the time, but he slips into it occasionally
I just realized that Critic without his cap and glasses can play in Meshuggah.
I think the logic and reason behind why Oscars are not given to stunt doubles is to prevent reckless behavior. If you give an award out for the biggest stunt, this will encourage people to do bigger and harder stunts in order to win, which would result in more deaths and injuries for an already dangerous profession. Like how handing out prizes for getting kicked in the nuts would eventually lead to hospitalizations as people try to out do each other.
Aww it’s cute you think Hollywood cares about that
14:00 They couldn't do that, it retcons exactly what Reese said in Terminator 1
"It had no choice, their defense grid was smashed, we'd won"
13:44 funny, Idk about the spanish version, but the Catalan dub changed this lines a bit and It could translate into:
Connor: "Are u fucking (as in kidding) me?"
Terminator: "No, Im not programmed to fuck u."
Fun Lil changes ppl make.
Why does no reviewer of this movie EVER mention the goofy as all hell face on Terminator X when Arnold stuffs the bomb in her mouth??? I laughed so hard at that scene I nearly pissed myself!
Because youre one of the only ones who finds it that funny
@@ComicCrossing so far 13 people would disagree with you...
I've always appreciated that T3 still had charming and comedic dialog moments. Just like 1 and 2, and which all the newer ones are devoid of.
I love that Doug and this channel are involved in so many different charities, they seem like legit good people.
It's a small step from their controversy
