TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY (1991) *First Time Watching* | MOVIE REACTION 

Always a fun fact worth sharing: When shooting the chase scene at the mall, Robert Patrick had trained so hard to play the T-1000 that on the first take, he was able to catch up to John's bike.

Maybe Fun Fact: According to nuclear bomb experts, the portrayal of the nuclear bomb going off in LA in this movie is still to this day the most realistic portrayal of a nuke on a city ever shown in any fictional movie ever.👍

The same woman who played Johns foster mother is also the same acrtress who played Vazquez in Aliens. 😊

Robert Patrick was a runner and could actually keep up with the dirt bike. Anyway he went on to be Peacemaker's dad. And the foster mother is Vasquez from Aliens. Also, Linda Hamilton's body double was her twin sister who died a year or two ago.

He wasn't one handed flying the helicopter and shooting an Uzi. He had three hands 👍

I think you guys missed the fact that the T-1000 had 3 arms in the helicopter.

“He’s got a knife-proof titty” 😂😂😂😂 y’all crack me up

Shout out to the Terminator casually chopping celery in the kitchen just waiting on John to wander home.

Me in 1991, watching the liquid metal T-1000 step out of the flames and turn back into Robert Patrick: "OMFGWTFTHATISTHECOOLESTSHITEVERHOWDIDTHEYDOTHAT?!?!?!?" Bridget watching the same scene in 2024: "Huh, interesting..." That made me feel so old... 😑

The deal with the shotgun and the roses was a tie-in to the official music video for the song "You Could Be Mine" by... Guns N' Roses

Speaking as someone who was curious enough to watch a locksmith's youtube video on it once, yes you can pick a lock in the fashion Sarah used. The way a lock such as one found on doors works is a series of locking pins hold the central cylinder in place. The peaks on your key are designed to push these pins out of the way, freeing the cylinder to rotate. The idea of the lock pick style Sarah used is to maintain rotational pressure with one portion of the pick so when you move a pin out of the cylinder it rotates just enough so the pin wont drop back in while working on the next pin. That being said, not all locks are created equally and the quality of lock found on a door at a psych ward probably wouldn't be susceptible to a pick set made from something as flimsy as a paperclip.

Please check out Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Its only 2 seasons and the first season is only 9 episodes because there was a writer's strike at the time. The show does a better time at fleshing out the mythology than the all the post T2 movies put together but it sadly got cancelled because of executive meddling at Fox

fun fact- the guard who got the coffee and the terminator are twins , as is sarah and the girl at the playground in her dream is lindas twin

14:58 That is an actual reload technique for the Winchester rifle. Apparently when Arnold first tried the technique he tore skin and almost broke a finger. Also not sure if you play Doom but the new Dark Ages game has a shotgun with the same reload technique

It’s 2024 and the CGI still holds up!!! Bring back summer blockbusters

Now I know what it's like to watch a movie with someone that isn't funny but thinks they are.

I have never seen a reactor laugh so much during the final scene when the Terminator is being lowered.

Aaiiint no way your barely watching this movie crazy

40:28 Hey, that's Hank from Breaking Bad.

It's called a "mini gun" because they are usually built into fighter jets. Compared to the Rockets and Sabot Rounds fired out of the Jets, that gun is very small.

Too many jokes. no duh that’s a stunt double ! Enjoy the movie

He wasn't as buff in this one because while he was still bodybuilding, he was no longer competing by this point.

The action offers no pause for breath, the Oscar-winning tricks are unbelievable. Incidentally, James Cameron already presented a water version of the liquid metal effect in the 1989 film “Abyss”. Especially since the action hit is from 1991, the highly developed effects cannot be rated highly enough. 🤩 The sophisticated action thriller was nominated for numerous awards in the technical categories and therefore received six Oscar nominations, four of which it won.

You're the only dude to ever laugh at the end as they lower him into the steel. 33 years since this film was released until this very reaction, gotta be a record.

The 1993 Special Edition Cut is the best one and contains three crucial scenes: 1. Sarah is beaten and forced to take meds by Doug (licky face). This causes her to hallucinate and envision Kyle Resse (Michael Beihn cameo) 2. Instead of learning through interaction, Sarah and John surgically reset Uncle Bob's learning switch. This amazing sequence involved Linda Hamilton's sister acting as a mirror image. 3. When the T-1000 reassembled after freezing, there are clips of him malfunctioning and involuntarily assimilating with the environment. it's also the reason why Uncle Bob's final grenade shot worked on it, the T-1000 was struggling to reassemble from that much damage.

I just want to say...I hate people who laugh idiotically during the dramatic parts of a movie

A very good point I didn't realize until I heard it pretty recently: the waitress checking out naked Arnold and not screaming in horror, implies they didn't make him like a Ken doll, but a fully dicked out dude.

Bros never seen a lever action before

The Sarah Conner Chronicles was absolutely fantastic! It's the only follow-up to T2 that's worth watching! It should be required watching! Please watch!

Why does everyone call it lava? It's molten steel. It is a steelworks site.

It's called a minigun because it IS mini compared to the original, which is the size of a small car. Most of the inside of an A-10 Warthog is filled by this gun.

What I love about the character of Miles Dyson, is that he's not actually an antagonist, he's just a normal kind family man who doesn't know he's doing anything wrong, he wants to help people, he doesn't realise that the chip he is creating would take 3 billion lives

“We knew the bad vibes were there once we saw them glasses” 😂

2:02 "One of the most accurate depictions of a nuclear blast ever created for the screen.” - Federal Testing Nuclear Labs

He practiced running so hard he kept catching up to the dirtbike. They told him to slow down a bit lol

When I first watched this flick I thought the T-1000 was going to be the protector. Finding his acting quite cartoonish when he introduced himself to the "wardens", yet of course I find it so fitting now.

That was awesome :) T3 was released the same year as Arnold was running for governor of California. People called it a giant political campaign and Governator. I liked it though. The rest of the movies are not great but some of them are fun to watch if you like cheesy bad movies.

This guy is a happy soul, he just laughs at anything and everything...

I spent about two months of my life doing nothing but picking locks. I can assure you it does work. When you get a chance, look at the jagged edge of your key and count the cuts. That's how many tiny, spring-loaded pins are in the lock. When the key is properly seated (in all the way), the pins, which are all different sizes, should be flush with the top of the cylinder. The cylinder is now free to turn in the lock and opens the latch. If you don't have a key, you need something springy to apply tension for the cylinder to turn. You can't do it with just a paperclip. She did have a tension wrench or something like that, but I didn't catch where she was hiding it.

7:04 I used to love when Cameron used to recast actors in his flicks.

A little fun fact the security guard in the hospital that the T1000 "copied" was his twin and at the end when the T1000 "copied" Sarah Conner that was Linda Hamilton's twin.

I'm a Gen-X'er and saw this film at the cinema when it was first released (I was slightly underage, but no-one cared back then). It was astonishing! The effects were outstanding and still hold up today. It works as practical effects were used alongside the CGI, where CGI couldn't or wasn't good enough at the time. The attention to detail is phenomenol and parts of it still amaze me, such as the reflections in the T2000 when it is the liquid metal state. Or the way it emerges from the floor. It doesn't look like a film that is over 30 years old! I'd say the CGI was used far more effectively than many film productions today. So many films now are pumped out far too quickly and the production fails. This film took it's time in production and it shows. It's still easily in my Top 20 films and Arnie's greatest film.

And the franchise has been chasing this movie's success ever since...

The swat guy that looks down at Miles and yells fall back? Dean f'ing Norris.

he M134 Minigun is called a "minigun" because it's a smaller version of the M61 Vulcan, a larger-caliber rotary barrel design. The "gun" part of the name refers to the fact that the Minigun uses rifle ammunition instead of autocannon shells. The Minigun is a U.S. aircraft machine gun with a rotating cluster of six barrels that can fire up to 6,000 rounds per minute using 7.62 mm ammunition. It's 31.56 inches long and weighs 85 pounds. The Minigun is based on the same basic design concept as the Gatling gun, but it doesn't use any of Gatling's original parts and has different feed mechanisms. The Minigun's trigger can fire multiple shots without manual reloading. The Minigun has different names in the US Armed Forces depending on the branch: Army: M134 and XM196 Air Force: GAU-2B/A Navy: GAU-17/A

5:33 made me legit laugh out loud “hit the gym, Arnold” 🤣

The grenade explosion didn't hurt the T-1000, it just put him off-balance enough to fall off the platform.

Terminator 3 is the last movie worth watching. It's not as good as T1 and T2, but it's got its moments. The other Terminator movies are abominations, not even the good kind of bad. There's also an actually good TV series called Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. 31 episodes total for 2 seasons. It's an alternative sequel to Terminator 2.

At 43:25 he is not flying the helicopter one handed while shooting. Actually, in some of those scenes you can see he has four arms, two for piloting the helicopter and two for shooting and reload the gun :D

the mini-gun used in this is the same one used in The Predator

One of the first movies to use CGI.

Robert Patrick (the T-1000) if I recall actually studied US Navy Seal breathing techniques. The idea being so he wouldn't look like he was breathing at all, since he's a robot. Why would he breath? The whole chasing the heroes thing, same stuff. He just learned to not focus on his cues, just move while not blinking.

Steel mills are super dangerous. I knew a guy who worked at one. He said one day a crucible had a hair line split. Molten steel shot out the split like a laser and seared off part of a guys foot in front of him.

M 61 vulcan is the bigger gun attached on military equipment hence why handled on is called mini gun. No irony.

21:06 Fun fact, that is not VFX... twin brothers in the scene.

During the scene in the tunnel when they blow up the tow truck, after Arnold turns around to check the damage, he kept hitting Edward (John) in the head with his shotgun. You can even see him come close in the final shot

8:44 wait why are we acting like we knew he wasn’t human?????

This grossed over $500 million at the box office and won four Academy Awards. After this are four more movies, a 3D theme park attraction, a live action TV series, an upcoming anime series, comics, graphic novels and videogames. The song playing on the boombox is "You Could be Mine" by Guns'N'Roses, which was made into a music video to accompany this film. Other films starring Arnold Schwarzenegger include Conan the Barbarian, Commando, Raw Deal, The Running Man, Twins, Red Heat, Kindergarten Cop, Total Recall, Last Action Hero, True Lies and Eraser

This was the first time a lot of us have seen visual effects to that extent. It was absolutely mind blowing at the time

Terminator Zero opened my eyes about the Terminator lore. So flawed if I watch it these days, but so great back in the day.

There is a deleted scene on YT from the first film. When Sarah is taken away in an ambulance you see the manufacturing facility they fought in was ….. Cyberdyne Systems. There is a bit where two workers find the chip, hide it from police and are like “get thia to the R&D guys”

9yr old me will never forget watching this on VHS after the 92 super bowl, and holy fuck did I sob when he gave him the thumbs up at the end👍🏻😭 It’s crazy to think how that was over 30 years ago, but feels like yesterday

John's foster mom Janelle was played by Jenette Goldstein, who played Vasquez, the badass female marine in Aliens!

Still one of the best movies ever created. I watched this nearly 100 times. It never gets old.

24:51 Unfortunately, Linda Hamilton who played John's mom had real-life hearing loss from the shotgun fired in the elevator. I don't know all of the details, but I've vaguely read that she may have taken a break and forgot to put her ear plugs back in on the set.

Rise of the Machines is worth a watch. It's fun, well-designed, and doesn't give you the ending you expect. Plus, Arnold is fantastic in it.

Had the awesome chance to see it in theater and even more was they try the new giant screen and new sound THX or someting like that.... An experience it was!

fun fact .. HANK from breaking bad is the main cop in the lab explosion scene

Fun Fact: the mini gun that Arnold used is the very same one used in Predator (1987).

One of those rare cases where the sequel is better than the first film!!!

Too funny. You said no spoilers. Movie starts. First sentence out your mouth is, "is this the one with the nuclear war?" LOL.

Just stop there folks. Trust me.

Poor Edward furlong , during this movie he was in a “relationship” with his tutor who was like 23-25 at the time while he was only 12.

ROTFL "He's cool now, it's hard to explain." We do hear it explained a couple times though

15:22 if you watch the remastered, they've fixed mostly all stunts shots.

For me the ending lands the emotional impact. Looked like you weren't that invested in the end unfortunately.

The line “I wouldn’t worry about him” hits different when realize that he meant he was the bigger threat/problem of the 2 terminators. Edit: About using the arm to replace the one he lost, it’s the wrong arm so it wouldn’t work any way😂

Sarah basically turned into a terminator in the scene where she was trying to kill Dyson, which is really ironic if you think about it. Since you've seen Kung Fu Panda 2, they referenced the scene where Arnold came up on the gear at 51:18. If KFP 2, Po said some witty line and then second after came up on the spinning gear/wheel. It also took place in a metal foundry type factory too and Shen's back was towards the molten metal as well.

Trying to be funny and sarcastic nearly every scene kinda ruined this reaction

He was actually using three hands in the helicopter chase scene. One to fly, the other two for reloading and firing.

37:13 It's fine if it 'leaks' into the other room, it's not really a toxic gas, it's perfectly safe to use around humans. Halon is just a gas that's used to displace the oxygen and suffocate a fire. In order to be harmful to John in a different room, it would have to be enough to make the other room hard to breathe in. Also, breathing it in high enough quantities such that it displaces the oxygen _you_ can breathe would be bad, but it's not like it's poison. *_"Halon is a low-toxicity, chemically stable compound that does not damage sensitive equipment, documents, and valuable assets."_*

12:39 Guns n' Roses

Well, back in the day that dream sequence, I used to have all the time something very similar we all did in the 80s. definitely added to the movie to be more relatable

When the orderly licks Sarah's face, it wasn't just some "kink" move, it was a test to make sure that she was drugged up properly. She likely had already "faked" being drugged to other stimuli done with her, and I agree that it's both extreme AND disgusting... but there was (in his mind) a valid reason to do it. What he didn't count on, was her being smart enough to not respond to something THAT disturbing. Also, Linda spent a lot of time learning how to pick locks with a paperclip. She actually DID pick the locks on both the straps AND the door to her room with just the paperclip.

I still don't understand how people when they 1st see this think Arnold's terminator is bad when from the scene where he takes the bikers clothes he didn't kill anyone there

one of the best actions

Ironically Sarah going to Dysons house to kill him to prevent the future would have seen her become no better than the Terminators herself

When Arnold is carrying the shotgun in a box of roses that’s a nod to the band Guns N Roses (who did the movie’s theme song)

It’s a mini gun because it’s smaller than the M61 Vulcan 20mm.

Now days toy guns are made to look like toy guns, even if that means putting a bright orange tip on the end of the "barrel". That wasn't the case when this movie was made. That's why those kid's toy guns look real.

54:09 " I really wanna know what happens next!" - No, you dont! 😂🤣

2 million sunblock is only sold in Ireland and Boston. It's not enough, sadly. :( The lockpick is reasonably accurate (or may actually work). I heard stories that Linda Hamilton taught herself how to pick locks for this. The bottom pick is a tension wrench, and it's there to cause the lock to rotate. The top pick is there to rake the pins. Normal keys sit in the lock and force all the necessary pins to their proper height simultaneously, allowing for the cylinder to be rotate. In a lockpick situation, you force the lock to rotate a little, allowing you to lock individual pins into place as you push the others up. There are safeguards against this, but it generally works with old deadbolts. Don't ask me how I know this. When are you going to bed, by the way? Being a computer nerd, the halon system thing always makes me REEEEEEE, because I've set one off (and I kept my job). Halon gas isn't breathable, but it's not toxic. It just displaces oxygen, smothering fires. With a system going off, you can still navigate the datacenter and do what you need to do to salvage equipment, but it's harder to catch your breath. Granted, the stuff destroys the ozone layer, but that's a separate issue.

This is my favorite Terminator film. The first one's good too, but this one has "hasta la vista...baby". And T-1000.

This is supposed to be a serious movie and this guy is just freaking laughing like if it's a comedy. Bruh! Are you serious!! Not just this is a classic but a masterpiece. You're a joke

Terminator - I cannot self terminate Reactor - Just jump in! *sigh*

❤Linda Hamilton!!! Also loved her in the 1987 tv series 'Beauty & the Beast'! She played Catherine (Beauty) & Ron Perlman as Vincent (Beast).

2 science-esque points. 1) Don't watch the channel "The lockpicking Lawyer" if you *_EVER_* want to feel like your locks *_Actually_* do anything.... nothing takes him more than 15seconds... it's crazy how easy it is to pick locks, especially back when this was filmed, police cuffs aren't as easy anymore thankfully, but just about every and anything short of a *SAFE* can be picked fairly easy, if you know how and what tools to use. 2) When he (The T-1000) melted at the end, he would have also been *_diluted_* into the rest of the regular metal meaning even if it cooled the tiny individual particles wouldn't be able to do anything if *_somehow_* it's "Programming" did... it's done.

Seen this movie so many times, on my own AND reactions. But if YOU TWO guys react to this: i am for sure gonna watch it again with you!

"Whatcha carvin'?" "SC

Watching this from Sweden. I love your reactions and commentaries.
