    Terminator 2 is HERE! Thank you for waiting patiently (I appreciate it). Everybody lookin' fine in this movie especially the VFX department lol. I feel like this film is a prime example of how to visually do cinema: the combination of techniques + wisdom of how and when to combine them. I also want to say that the script was coherent and that was very pleasant.
    Two more things: The extended version ending is better (fight me) and Sarah Connor can beat the sh*t out of me lmao, i hope nobody reads this.

      Well no official release has disclosed the budget, the best guesses not refuted by those involves was around 104 million at the time which would be closer to 242 million today. T1 is around 15 million adjusted. But T2 had about 25 million of the budget going to advertising- which is about 58 million today. Putting filming budget closer to 184.

    The thing I most appreciate about this movie (and Aliens) is that they aren’t typical sequels that rehash the first movie, making the same jokes or referencing the same moments.

These early James Cameron movies are his best imo.

      Correction: she *almost* becomes the thing she hates. But she pulls back at the last minute.
      That's what's so clever about the writing in this sequel. There are so many statements in this film about what differentiates a human from a humanoid machine (or human intelligence from AI, to put it in today's terms). From Arnie's T-800 trying to understand crying and emotions, to the discussions about why killing is wrong (particularly relevant in the context of action movies at the time, as by the early 1990s there had been a lot of controversy about the amount of violence and killing in cinema blockbusters in the late '80s, including several of Arnie's own movies), themes about growth and learning from our past (childhood, fostering, parenthood, etc), to Sarah Connor's journey from cold repression and just being driven for a mission to rediscovering her 'humanity', right down to the little moment where the T-1000 briefly looks at a mannequin trying to work out what it is. The more you watch this film, the more parallels you see being explored or hinted at. It really works on so many levels.
      And yes, Linda Hamilton carried off her transformation and the role of Sarah Connor excellently here.

    Is it contains almost no CGI.
    The Future War start sequence entirely practical apart from the rotoscoped laser shots.
    They used rear-projection screens in the backgrounds, with sets in the foreground, and filmed the whole thing in-camera.
    The T-1000, is only CGI when it does things a puppet can't do.
    They used prosthetics, animatronics, makeup, puppetry, and even resorted to wrapping Robert Patrick in tin-foil and spray paint.......
    The finale chase scene, they even flew a real helicopter under a real bridge... for real.
    Fo' reals and ever-thang!

      Yes. I totally agree. They actually gave us a believable female Terminator in Summer Glaus Cameron. Right off the bat, they showed us why it was necessary to make Cameron female. She infiltrated and seduced John with her feminine whiles. And then later, she's perfectly stoic... like Arnold. When she turns and becomes a deadly killing machine again, Cameron actually feels like Robert Patrick's T-1000.
      The TX was lame. She gave herself a b00b job, but she never does anything with it. It's just part of her aesthetic. And frankly, I still think the T-1000 is more impressive.

    The special effects were done so well for this movie in the 90's that they stand the test of time and still look good today. Something that is not going to happen with many current movies years from now when they are seen again, because the CGI they did leaves much to be desired. It's always good to combine CGI with practical effects to make it look more realistic. And as you can see, many scenes filmed in a real way, the explosions, the trucks, the helicopters, are no longer filmed today with this level of super-production because it is too expensive and all that was replaced today by CGI, which in my opinion, has not yet evolved to deceive us that we are seeing real scenes, it looks artificial.

    That helicopter flying scene is even more impressive because during that flying under the bridge scene James Cameron filmed it himself twice from the front and behind.

    Hello Amanda, nice to see you!😊 You look beautiful as always!🌹 In a deleted scene from the first film we see the name of the factory where Sarah destroyed the first Terminator was "Cyberdyne Systems Corporation". They were the ones who created the Terminators in future history. Also, Miles Dyson worked for that company. Arnold's skin number model is 101, so we can presume there are at least 100 more Terminator's with different looking facial and body features. It is just a coincidence his model was the one sent back again. Of course, for Arnold to return it would have to be the same model. The CGI for the film was cutting edge at the time. Effects were specially made for this film that had never been done before. When James Cameron wrote the film he knew the special effects were not ready for what he wrote, but they would be available in the near future. The rotor router Sarah has in the needle would burn his insides with poison acid, normally used to clear clogged drains.☠ Cyberdyne would just hire someone to take over Miles Dyson work if he were killed. So, it would not stop there. There are two sets of twins that are shown together which saved money on CGI. The guard that is attacked by the floor Terminator, are actually twins. The scene with two Sarah's are Linda Hamilton's twin sister in the factory. James Cameron did stop making Terminator films after this for a while, but came back to make another one year's later when he got the Terminator rights back. He ignores the events of the other Terminator films after this. The end scene in the future is not shown in the theatrical version of the film. They just drive down a highway with a voiceover from Sarah. There is an A.I. film like what you described that you would like to see, Amanda. It is "Ex Machina" (2014).🏆You should definitely check it out. You would really enjoy it! GREAT reactions to this very well made film, Amanda!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

    The reason the T-800-Model 101(arnold's Terminator model) all share the same face is because they come off of an assembly line when Skynet makes the Terminators, you learn more about this in T3 Rise of the Machines and in Salvation. There are other T-800's different category modes 102, 103 etc that have different faces but the main T-800 models are Arnold and in some cases not even skinned just sent out in pure endoskeleton form like we see in the distant future war. The ones with skin are used for infiltration missions to blend in with humans. Great reaction Amanda, you're always so cute and into your reactions!

    As I remember it, the thing with the helicopter flying under the bridge was that the camera crew that they had for the movie refused to film it because it was too dangerous. They actually found somebody that would fly the helicopter like that, but the camera crew didn't want to film it. So... there's at least one shot in there where the camera is clearly hanging out of the window of a car following the action and somebody of course would have to be holding the camera shooting that. That would've been James Cameron himself having to shoot that because the film crew wouldn't do it.
    Somebody actually flew that thing under the bridge and then again when it looks like it's going to hit a bridge and pulls up at the last second to go over it. They don't make movies like that anymore... that would almost certainly be CGI today, and that's part of why movies like this are timeless to look at.

It was made after 3, but is based (almost) solely on and picks up after 1 and 2 with John as a high schooler. A little slow-developing maybe, but ended up being kinda awesome. A bunch of different storylines, mythology, technical explanations, profound diary entries each episode, maybe even the best job of making the humor hit.

      That's not exactly clear in the first two films. The T-800s are said to be infiltration units, and they would not make very good infiltration units if they all looked the same. We see two different looking T-800 units in the first film - the Arnie model, and the one that infiltrated the bunker and killed everyone in Reece's flashback. They may have the same metal skeleton underneath, but they had different looking flesh parts. It isn't until the later films that we are shown a production line.

      @@philippelachance It's one of those things that changed over time and eventually got retconned.
      Original film merely referred to the Terminator as Model 101 with no reference to that being what the outer skin looked like. Keep in mind that Kyle explicitly says he had to wait for the Terminator to make the first move against Sarah as he didn't know what it looked like.
      Eventually, the endoskeleton is what became known as the T-800 with Model 101 referring to the outer skin. This is seen in film as the Terminator's HUD at one point displays "Cyberdyne Systems Series 800 Model 101." James Cameron later explains in the T2 commentary that the model number is specifically the outer appearance of a Terminator being used for infiltration rather than a basic footsolider (101 is Arnold, 102 would be someone else, etc.)
      Logically, that would mean you could have different combinations of endoskeleton and outer skin as we later see with T3 (T-850, Model 101)
      And while we don't have model numbers applied to various T-1000s seen across the franchise, one would assume that the model number in that case would refer to their default appearance.
