Creating VFX T-1000 Robert Patrick 'Terminator 2' Behind The Scenes 

I think Billy Idol, who was Cameron's original choice for the role, might have done just as well.

​@@Elly3981I don't know if Billy would be so commited at this job as Patrick was

Absolutely..scary than dumb zombies today!!

I was 9 when I watched it in the 90s and his acting combined with the music was terrifying.

I watched this movie countless times and I just took his acting for granted, but now I realize the challenges. He trained to run with perfect posture and never looked out of breath or tired. He trained to shoot rapidly with his eyes open and not flinch. Also that emotionless yet scary robotic facial gesture.

@@andreasbianconeri879 For sure!

@@CHAOS88100 Especially compared to the new Terminator movies that are honestly terrible.

still my favorite arnold flick 10/10

Corridor Crew redid it recently with modern tech. But Stan Winston, Rob Bottin, and Greg Nicotero were the visionary pioneers by mixing realistic live practical fx with CGI. Shame the remake of The Thing went totally CGI despite the practicals being ready and filmed.

God knows how many new softwares were created just to get into the director's imagination.

Hello to you who are reading, how are you? I want to tell you: THERE IS A GOD WHO LOVES YOU, AND HE WANTS TO SAVE YOU. The greatest proof of His love for you was on the cross. There is only one GOD, only one GOD, there are no others, and GOD is Love, he is merciful, but he is also a GOD of judgment and justice. This GOD has Laws, and we cannot keep them properly, we fail, we sin when we disobey His Laws. Think with me, when someone commits a crime, he breaks a certain Law, is he innocent or guilty? We understand that if he has committed a crime, broken or disobeyed a law, he is not innocent, but guilty. Does a guilty deserve to be convicted or acquitted? We understand that if he committed a crime he deserves to be convicted. Such is the state of the human being before God. guilty. The Bible says that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Rom 3:23). We have sinned against GOD, we are not innocent but guilty, and our sins condemn us and condemn us to hell. But I want to tell you that there is hope for us, there is forgiveness for our sins, because, even though we are flawed and sinners, God loved us so much that in the fullness of time he sent his SON, JESUS CHRIST to this earth. JESUS is the one who was born under the law of GOD. JESUS fulfilled all the law of God, being thus perfect, in Jesus there was no sin nor deceit in his mouth. For when the LORD JESUS was here, HE did good to all, and healed all who were oppressed by the devil, JESUS was not a person who trampled on those who were fallen, on the contrary, HE stretched out His hands to the fallen, JESUS came to to save sinners, to seek and to save that which was lost, he performed miracles, signs and wonders among the people, the blind saw, the deaf heard, the dumb spoke, the lame walked and the dead were raised, for God was with HE. Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. And then according to God's plan, Jesus being innocent, was rejected, was wronged and was condemned to death, and death on a cross. In this fact, GOD proves his love for us, in that CHRIST died nailed to a cross on our behalf, HE died for our sins, HE was our substitute suffering the condemnation that we deserve. Then HE was buried and after three days, GOD raised Jesus from the dead, breaking the shackles of death, because it was impossible for death to stop him. After Jesus was resurrected, He gave commandments to His disciples, and the Lord Jesus was taken up into heaven and sat at the right hand of God. JESUS CHRIST is the Judge who will judge the living and the dead, what GOD is announcing to all people is repentance. Repent of your sins, forsake your sins, and turn to GOD, believe in his SON JESUS CHRIST, so that your sins may be forgiven, only JESUS can save the souls of men, JESUS CHRIST is the only way, Put all your faith, your trust and your hope in Jesus and begin to obey him.

The rightfully best in the series that even makes the first movie a bit envies.

Ikr and it's the best terminator movie in my opinion.

many james cameron flicks were.. aliens, the abyss, the terminator

💯👍👍👍

Did they actually use mercury?

Definitely it was

Yeah its great when a smaller person can seem so scary.

That's a good way to describe his character I remember being in terror in a kid watching him chase John

T800= monster truck T1000= Lamborghini

From Terminator 2 to Scorpion, and even his smaller parts in Gangster Squad and Ladder 49, he always steals the scene

It's true. As you watch the movie you keep wondering, how the hell are they gonna kill that thing?

When the t-1000 tells Johns foster parents that there's nothing to worry about... such a simple scene and so fking scary! You can feel from the start there's something off about this guy.

@@nightmareTomek The T-1000 can act very human and charming when it needs or wants to be.

Totally, and one of the best movies of the '90s

Nope, it's the best movie I ever watched, along with Matrix 1.

it's an awesome movie, but I prefer the first one)

@@davidovics92 The effects in Terminator 1 were laughable and the script wasn't so good compared to T2. If it wasn't for the police station shootout I would have given T1 a 6/10.

@@dennisanderson8663 I agree with the effects part, but obviously the budget was way smaller, so you can't really blame them. With the script part however, i don't agree with you. Terminator was/is a superb movie period

Agreed

Now Hollywood filled with bunch woke peoples

Seriously ... I am absolutely disgusted with movies/youtube clips spewing mindless jokes / quips ... even in serious situations completely contrary to the tone in the scene ... especially youtube clips in which people throw a joke to look cool .. I mean wtf

Part of that was because James Cameron tolerated exactly ZERO bullshit on the set. If you were so much as 30 second late to a take, you were getting an ear full from him.

Silly jokes r neccessary in modern cinema. Look MCU for example. Bunch of stupid jokes which made it enjoyable for average audience

Damn me either but wow. Guess I need to go back and watch the extras on some old movies .

Amazing

Im still trying to wrap my head around the fact he didn't turn into a giant shoe at the drink machine, i mean, how did he sample the security guard through the boot lol

I thought it fake but very real more than effect... It's genius movie !

and the malfunction Robocop ed 209 in the late 80's :) ... drop your weapon... drops it, drop your weapon ... oh ow !

@@dawn-moon Oh yes. The melted face, the brutal murder on Murphy. It's even scary today. Can't believe I watched it as a 8 year old kid. Will never forget those images. I'm still amazed at how they made the face of Murphy on that robot work. Also Peter Weller is my sci-fi hero. Loooovveee Screamers

Even though he scared me, I was kinda in love with him. Not just 'cause of his obvious hotness, he was so bad he was irresistible. I've got issues, huh?

True!

agree ?

@@woklam342 are u sure?

@@korolshah2896 my opinion don t mean your opinion

His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.

The reason it looked so good was that CGI was not used unless it was absolutely necessary. The rest of the special effects were done with old-school methods. Nowadays, CGI is overused which makes a lot of stuff look fake.

completely disagree. todays movies are so much better in every way. especially the wokeness. its about time you where all schooled.

@@nepntzerZer I'm not the 'those were the times' kind of guy, but that's subjective. There are great movies today just like there used to be great movies back then. When i praise decades old special effects, i'm obviously considering the year and the tech available at the time.

Agreed. Like Jurassic Park. We had never seen anything like it before.

I agree but it turns out there was a screw up at the part where the swat is shooting Arnold before he shoots them with the gas launcher at the back you can see a crew member walk in front of the shot I never noticed till I saw a video bring it up 🤣

@@FreddyD177 I'll check it out. In Star Wars there are so many things like that also. I like those hidden mistakes.

Legend

Probably the best one

Practical effects are real, and they have some special charm. CGI can be good but it's still... just computer generated. Practical effects are so amazing when they are done well. I'm shocked how many of these were practical effects. No wonder why they still look so good!

The industry seems to think cgi today is good enough to fool audiences, but it's far from being completely believable, esp when it comes to animation and interaction with real world objects, ie people.. now waiting for that 3d Roger Rabbit remake..

@@MrVidification It's usually a matter of budget and time. CGI is often the quicker and cheaper solution given a certain timetable. Of course, some things _have_ to be CGI depending on how outside the scope of reality it is. That said, it's cool when they can do things with practical effects like the hallway fights in Inception and Doctor Strange.

They seem to overdo effects these days and it looked unnecessary and cheap

It’s all about skill and patience. If they want it they have more than they need to create a revolutionary CGI animation BUT nobody cares about great CGI so let’s just throw in some boring templates and called it a day. Less work, more pay.

He was great in The Faculty, Cop Land and Walk the Line.

His role as O'reilly (though small) in Die Hard 2 helped him land the role as the T-1000. O'reilly was Terminator-like in his mannerisms- never blinks, cold blooded and just kills.

Yeah he's a really great actor. Very underused, underrated, but still really talented!

"What do you think, I'm still the kid on the bus"? -Tony Soprano

Yeah but they also put in some shitty CG in this poor sequel

you mean low resolution CGI lol

In my opinion this movie's special effects are better and more tangibles that the ones used in the last battle of Avangers Endgame.

True that

I was a little kid it blew my mind I thought I was watching magic nothing like it at the time.

Robert was very compliant and did whatever was asked of him. I'm sure a lot of what the production team wanted him to do wasn't very comfortable physically or mentally. That, and the intense training he underwent to perform the running scenes without showing signs of exertion, strain, or fatigue since a machine isn't supposed to feel any of that.

It's the way he walks

Robert Patrick is a great, highly underrated actor.

He doesn't make any fast movements until he has made contact that is just scary. He stalks in a slow and menacing way and scans every room with effeciency first. Contrast that to him when he is fighting a chasing and it just makes him that much more scary.

I'm sure the production crew found Robert a pleasure to work with since he was very compliant in so whatever they asked of him no matter how awkward and uncomfortable it was.

@Screw Head713 To make it even weirder I'm completely straight, just have a weird way of looking at things because of artistic background. Aesthetically, not sexually, but I guess most people don't separate the two.

Nowadays, CGI is way overused so everything looks fakes.

🤣

That's the joke - Mcbain

Says Jack 'Crater'

It blew my mind! (physically)

My mind was like BOOOM

Sorry to say it, but T2 gets too much credit. Will always be a sci-Fi movie that everyone says was the worlds most groundbreaking in CGI. If it is not T2, then it is Tron, if it is not Tron, then it is King Kong etc.. But my personal favourite will alway be the first "The Matrix" movie. That actually has proven test of time(Not the sequals, they suck visually). I can really not understand how such movie was made in 1999 and still looks amazing today.

@@zerazara The Matrix was and still is a masterpiece!

@Rafael Cardeño Jr. You totally missed my argument. My point was not to "compare" The Matrix and T2. All i said was that The Matrix impressed me "Personally" more from the time it came out. But I am against singeling out any movie for their achievements in visual effects, since there will always be a movie that shocked it's audience. For all we know King Kong from 1933 were even more impressive than T2, or how about Jason and the Argonauts from 1963. James Cameron was heavy on use of computer animated graphics from "Silicon Graphics" (The Unix based system seen in Jurassic Park from 1993). This made them create really impressive cgi visuals for that time. But Tron(1982) were pioneers a whole decade earlier with the use of CGI. I think people always front T2(1991) for CGI kingdomship, mostly because it actually also is a very "Good movie". But what did James Cameron did do that were "Novel" in visual effects in the movie? Tron(1982) already implemented CGI ten years before and Cameron did himself two ears prior in The Abyss(1989) The Matrix(1998) however used "Bullet Time" and even created their own sw to morph between frames to make smoother motion. If you don't know what this technique is, it is a bunch of cameras lined up on a rail that takes a picture at the same time, frames then are arranged as animated motion and makes for some awsome scenes. This is why The Matrix is my favorite, not just because of the awsome visuals from 1998 movie, but also because they did something "novel" that impacted popular culture forever. And offcourse same like T2, they are both very good movies. But again, which movies is the mosr groundbreaking movie considering visual effects relative to time ot was made? Who knows, could be King Kong from 1933

@Rafael Cardeño Jr. Offcourse you cannot say the same for the movies that came aroubd the same time. T2 was the worlds most expensive movie at the time it was produced and released. But right after you had movies with impressive CGI like Forrest Gump, Jurassic Park, Toy Story, Star Wars phantom menace, The Mask, Titanic etc etc. Eventually The Matrix which again was groundbreaking in visual effects in same sense as T2, Jason and the Argonauts, King Kong etc etc. For its time T2 was eye-popping. But again, not the only movie in times doing that.

@Rafael Cardeño Jr. Well CGI in Tron looked awsome at it's time, but does not hold up. And sorry to say, T2 CGI does not hold up either. So what is the dlfference. Maybe T2 did hold up for a long time and it became like a phrase. Actually CGI has recently become very "Infamous". At least "full CGI". Most big directors prefer "Practical visual effects" combined with digital composition. Ridley Scott commented on Alien prequel "Prometheus(2012)" that he preffered practical effects, as they were much cheaper than CGI, but also in fact "looked better" than CGI. Also other eye-popping movies like Mad Max Fury Road(2015), George Miller were heavy on the use of "Practical effects" contra using CGI. So actually we are not there yet. Maybe "Artificial Intelligence" can help us improve our computer graphics to be indestinguishable from reality in the future. But remember that computer technology is also improving practical effects like use of 3d Scanners and 3D printers, animatronics, computer controlled camera rigs, high end digital cameras with even better quality and image quality as 35mm film or medium format etc etc.

No Nostalgia is just blinding you

@@nahtatroll not quite. There are plenty of examples that prove otherwise

not really

@@nahtatroll No - it's that CGI is overused today. Look at the latest Terminator film, it looks like a video game. A shitty video game. That part where they're fighting on the crashing aircraft as it plummets from the sky looks like a photorealistic boss battle from Super Mario Brothers. Impossible absurd cartoon action.

MrJeffcoley1 i didn’t watch dark fate because it’s garbage. I do agree that cgi is over used but you can’t sit and tell me that the CGI looks better when the liquid metal form looks like a damn 3D animation you’d see at a bowling alley. I think our eyes have just gotten better at seeing the flaws or the higher quality (HD) did.

A good sequel needs to expand the world and lore of the first movie and also stand as a great movie on its own. Also, most movies worth seeing now are part of giant franchises, where the characters are bigger than the actors.

@@fresherturtle1154 That's not necessarily true, it's just harder to find non franchise films in cinema.

@@fresherturtle1154 Problem is that drama turns into action with sequels, even more so with the second sequel. Same with horror movies. Turns from 18+ to 16+ to 13+. All the suspense traded for quick scares and a cheese full of plotholes. Judgement day is one of the few that didn't go overboard. Best action thriller ever.
