WE'RE BACK, BIGGER AND BETTER WITH THE SEQUEL!! ✌ EARLY ACEESS and FULL LENGH REACTIONS to Terminator 3 and 4 on our Patreon! www.Patreon.com/raggedypack Join our growing community here discord.gg/HQFtGkCf37 And let us know how you feel about T2 in the comments!
Can you guys react to James Cameron's film True Lies starring Arnold and Jamie Lee Curtis. It is a fun action packed film. I think you all would like it.
I saw both T1 and T2 on release and you guys are one of favourite reactions so far. The rest of the Terminator movies suck but T4 has nice visual effects. You may like "Hardware" (1990) which is very similar to The Terminator but very much less well known.
I saw it on release and the scene where the T1000 turns back to front was the stand out by a small margin. I saw Tron on release and the Light Cycle scene fried my brain.
I'm 45. It was amazing back then! We never knew it would still hold up today, though, lol. But then so was the first Jurassic Park two years later. Amazing times for cinema, back then.
That's what happens when you focus on practical effects with CGI in and around it. These action scenes still kick the ass of the ones we get now because they actually did them rather than generated it all using CGI.
Nothing touches it. Not even close. This movie simply exposes what we are missing nowadays. Even at the advent of this early CG, they KNEW when and HOW to use it to keep us in the story. Perfect blend with the in-camera stuff. James Cameron.... genius.
He's one of a handful legendary directors and changed the entire film landscape multiple times in his long career. Yea, not EVERYTHING he makes is gonna be the best thing ever... but Terminator, Aliens, Abyss, Titanic.....more than enough. What have you done bro? lololol lolol terminally online. "genius fucked up Avatar" what is that even supposed mean? Are we gonna discredit his 40 year contributions to cinema? Fuck outta here dude @@jupmatr5971
Well the first one does for a start. T2 is great and I always preferred it as a kid but it is a bit cheesy and comical compared to the dark and grittier first one. T1 and T2 are kinda like Alien and Aliens respectively. Except Aliens is much better than T2.
The first 3 alien and terminator movies share a lot of similarities. In both franchises the original is the best one, then you have the 2nd film which is overrated and really goes against the original T2 does this far worse than aliens, and then you have the 3rd film which is underrated, and is really the best sequel and the 2nd best film in their respective franchises because they stay much more faithful to what was set in the original. @@NeilusNihilus
@@NeilusNihilusAliens aint even close to T2. Aliens is overrated and boring. Im honestly bewildered that so many people think its better than T2. It CLEARLY isnt.
Robert Patrick is the best terminator in the franchise history. His portrayal of a killing, unfeeling machine was just stellar. Unlike Arnie, he didn't pull faces or even blink while shooting, he was sprinting with his mouth closed, only breathing through his nose. Simply perfect.
Its so cool you guys didn't know Arnie is the good terminator. James Cameron wanted it to be a surprise but the studio spoiled the surprise in the movie trailer before the release.
It's a weird choice to have the T-1000 kill a police officer then, I mean. Sure, Arnie beats up those bikers, but he didn't kill any of them. T-1000 immediately shanks the guy, looking evil as fuck from the beginning.
@@danielsanz2061 Damn you're right. After seeing the movie as a child and knowing his MO I remembered it differently, but at that point you really don't know.
Fun fact: There are two sets of twins in this movie. Linda Hamilton and her twin sister; and the hospital guard who came out the floor and his twin brother.
16:44 Fun fact, thanks to his extensive training for the role, Robert Patrick was ACTUALLY able to run faster than the dirtbike in this scene! He had to slow down for them to get the take right!
wasn't just his training for the role, he was a decent athlete at his uni? running these quarter miles or so, mid distances, you still have tremendous pace.
The dirt bike was going about 15-20 miles per hour in the parking garage. The top speed of the bike is about 45 miles per hour, so yes Robert Patrick did run faster than most average people and probably competed in track in high school and college.
That makes T1 the bigger earner for budget to box office ratio (around 10x), but T2 got over $500M at the box office, so its ~5x return was certainly nothing to complain about either.
@@protalghulnist4126 That is true. Working in the 9 figure range certainly will have some different considerations from the 6 figure range (though for most of us, it'll start to get blurry when it even gets into millions at all). Without a doubt, they were both big successes.
The movie doesn't just look good because of the remaster...this movie has ALWAYS looked good. On my 13 inch TV watching it on VHS it looked damned good.
yeah thats what i was going to say also. they were talking about how much better the remaster looks yet this is the first time they have watched the movie so wouldnt know what it originally looked like.
Well from what I've seen there's an occasional comment saying they are lying. I was in this area until they mentioned they were born in 1996. This paired with being more prone to play video games. Them having not seen classic action movies makes sense. They were probably seeing those influenced by those classics. Something like "the expendables" would be the equivalent of seeing the magnificent seven to an older generation.
When I was 12, my dad took me and a friend to go see this movie. It was my first R-rated movie in a theater. I had no idea I was seeing the greatest action movie off all time but I knew it was special.
That scene where Sarah pulls out the CPU from Arnie head in front of the mirror, Linda Hamilton (Sarah) twin sister played the mirrored Sarah with Arnie in the mirror reflection while Sarah was with Arnie's double
Every time I see a reaction to the extended version, I realized just how few times I've seen it. I've seen the theatrical version probably about 100 times because I was obsessed with it as a kid. That poor old VHS tape is wore the heck out.
I've never seen it before but I wish they hadn't watched it. None of the extra scenes were necessary and that ending is significantly worse. I only have more praise for the editor now.
Back then I would agree with you, but today with the computing power we have, CGI is far better, as long as it's done by a team of people that know how to do good CGI, in other words, CGI that looks so real that you can't really tell the difference from CGI and real life. Practical effects can be good, but CGI is better, and I know many won't agree with that, but many compare the best practical effects usually with some of the worst CGI effects, compare to some of the best CGI, and most won't even realise it's CGI because it looks so real, at least if it's doing something normal in everyday life. At the end of the day, whether it's practical effects or CGI, they are both just tools, it's up to the team behind them to get the most out of them, and as I said above, with the computing power we have, CGI is far better than practical, in the right hands.
@@paul1979uk2000 The only issue I have is when you have remasters occur. If it is a lesser movie or TV show the CGI can be greatly diminished. Examples are star trek deep space nine for TV. For a movie look at how time has been less kind to 28 days later for its digital recording in contrast to movies like 50s fly.
@@libertyresearch-iu4fy Special effect are indeed nearly perfect and it's usage is way superior to anything we've had in the past 20 years - which is where the most of movie's reputation comes from. Story is abysmal, sloppy and illogical. And call backs is euphemism for near complete recycling of earlier concepts and rewrite of things established, hidden behind 'but we can change things now, and all that closed loop establishing thing during the first film was just a joke'.
That's nuts. What doesn't Cameron do??? I didn't know til recently he's basically piloted the deepest dive in the history of submarines. He also knew a few hours after that Titanic sub disappeared that the search was all for show last year. Had contacts told there was literally a loud boom recorded by underwater microphones right when it stopped transmitting.
-- IN the 'old days' they made the story about the people. Ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. That way we can feel like we are there. It's not just a bunch of CGI so we can say "That looks cool". The writing used to reach deeper back then. -- When we see the adult John Connor looking out onto the battlefield, his expression looks exactly like the one I saw on the face of the 4 Star Air Force general who commended Strategic Air Command, as he passed me in the hall one day at the Headquarters. That man had a hell of a lot of pressure and NO trace of weakness.
Great reaction. Y'all seemed to misunderstand about one thing though -- Enrique (the guy they went to see in Mexico with the snake heads on the fence) wasn't an arms dealer, he was just someone Sarah had connected with in the years after the first movie. The weapons cache hidden there was Sarah's, probably one of many she had stashed in different locations.
BEST SCI FI ACTION MOVIE EVER! Rock star Billy Idol (Dancing With Myself, Mony Mony, Cradle Of Love, LA Woman, and White Wedding) was originally considered for the role of the T-1000, but injured his leg in a motorcycle accident and Robert Patrick was cast in the role. The T-1000 was going to be in the first TERMINATOR film, but the VFX for his liquid metal form would have been very expensive and CGI was in it's infancy at the time. James Cameron revealed that gewas high on Ecstasy while writing the script. He said this in an interview while promoting AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER. The producers were going to remove the opening scene involving the Terminator and T-1000 arriving naked from the future, thinking it was a remake of the original, but when they noticed the Terminator didn't kill anyone in the bar, they learned he was the good guy and the T-1000 was the bad guy. It won 4/6 Oscars: Best Visual Effects Best Sound Editing Best Sound Mixing Best Makeup. It was nominated for Best Cinematography and Film Editing but lost to JFK.
Blade Runner, The Terminator, Mad Max 2, Predator, Total Recall, Robocop, Alien/s...T2 is right there with Running Man, though that one was a bit more original. Top 10, sure, but nowhere near the top.
This one was my favorite movie for nearly 2 decades, till The Dark Knight.🤓 This was the extended version, it's better except the ending. Sara's closing monologue is much better on the black road running than her with the grandchild in the park. Has a much more deep uncertain future feel about it.🤝
T2 is so masterful as it manages to tell what is basically the same story as the first movie without ever feeling dull. It changes just the right things and builds upon the lore beautifully. It's real jewel however was Robert Patrick. To manage to become even more intimidating than Arnold with all his size and image from before was truly one of cinema's greatest performances. That alongside humanising the once inhuman Terminator are master strokes. Fun Fact, Robert Patrick got so good at running following his training for the movie, he was actually able to catch up with Jon Conner's bike in the scene where he chases him! Patrick had to deliberately run slower so they could get the shot.
Oh no you guys blew the experience!... the teatrical cut with the original ending is the best version... more mature and with a dramatic ending that makes you think more, like, the future is not a certain path! This ending is more like, and they lived happily ever after...
😎 Yep, theatrical version was better. As long as John Connors exists, an Apocalyptic future is always coming because of who his father was. Not to mention all the bad sequels afterwards obviously made this ending moot and silly.
All the added scenes in this version are great and work as to adding more depth and weight to the narrative... Except for that cheesy "happy future" ending. They knew that didn't work. I wonder why they chose to now put it back in. Theatrical ending is perfect.
I'm thrilled and surprised that you guys loved the Director's Cut ending. The theatrical ending keeps the line "If a Terminator can learn the value of human life", but it's much darker and more ambiguous about whether or not Judgement Day has been averted. Most people find this ending kind of cheesy and overly earnest. Aside from the ending change, the two big changes are: 1. The dream in the hospital, with Michael Biehn coming back as Reese, was originally cut. 2. The subplot of Arnie learning is significantly simplified, completely removing the brain surgery scene for pacing. It's such a good scene, though. It's the one scene from this cut that really deserved to be kept, since overruling Sarah is a major moment for John's character arc.
Another fun fact: her twin sister was in the movie twice. Once as she was watching the kids on the playground. The woman she was watching as as of herself, was actually her. Also, the scene where she takes out the bullet from Arnold's head, the reflection of her it's actually her sister instead of the mirror.
I happened upon ur T1 reaction, and kept searching for your T2 reaction on your channel. I bathe, I sit down to eat, then I see you T2 reaction was JUST uploaded.
09:47 Linda Hamilton injured her knees from falling on the ground during multiple re-shoots of her being hit with the nightstick by actor Ken Gibbel (The orderlie). Frustrated by Gibbel's refusal to hit her properly, she legitimately knocked him out with the broom handle during the escape scene. Yes that hit to the nose and the blood was real.
I still prefer the ambiguous ending as seen in the theatrical cut. In the original release of T2, after Arnold is lowered into the molten metal, the movie fades to a shot of a black road. And Sarahs final monologue was far more natural and powerful. The theatrical ending also fits far better with the ending to The Terminator.
I'm not sure if you'll read this but I figured I'd add. Terminator 3 is pretty good. It wasn't received incredibly well on release, but compared to the later movies it is considered amazing. Has a good ending point, as well
The Terminator and T2 were the Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back for my generation. The Terminator is possibly the greatest "B-movie" ever made. By that i mean, it is the greatest low-budget sci-fi ever produced. Some of the effects stand out like a sore thumb. But The Terminator is still a great inspiration for future filmmakers. Cameron showed us what can be possible on a small budget and its freaking amazing. T2 on the other hand is the greatest action movie ever made. Cameron showed us whats possible once youve established yourself in the industry. And its freaking phenomenal. I mean, Linda Hamilton was so great in T2, she made Sarah Connor one of the greatest, strongest, most iconic female roles ever put on film. Her Sarah Connor is right up there with Cameron's own Ellen Ripley in Aliens and Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With The Wind.
The scene with the helicopter going under the overpass was done for real by Charles A. “Chuck” Tamburro. Twice.... They had to film different angles. They measured that he would have five feet of clearance.
I bet you people never asked yourselves where did they put that skin glove from Arnie after he removed it to show Miles and family who he was! Dud they like just throw it in the trash? I saw this movie like 50 times over the last 3 decades and it just occured to me!🤣
Nice catch (by the movie kids) on Arnies arm being left behind, which would restart the loop again. EDIT- Skin-arm now too! (Excellent catch.) That helps my theory that Skynet sent Arnie back, not John...because Arnie destroys everything...except his own arm left in the gears (EDIT- and now Skinarm). And in fact, he never points it out to anyone either. Which he should have done automatically, thusly proving he was sent by Skynet the entire time...never by John. I never caught that he left his own arm behind (or skin). It's because the order the terminators show up. Arnie shows up BEFORE the T-1000...which is impossible, because the T-1000 would have to be sent back BEFORE Arnie for that to be correct according to the way Reese understood it and appeared. Arnie first...then Reese after humans seized the time teleporter. Supposedly only the one, and experimental. So if Reese was sent back, and they knew how to operate the teleporter...why wouldn't they just automatically go to the Pentagon, and make them aware of all this, in the past, and better...why would they only ever send Reese? Arnie merely shows up and claims John sent him in T2. No proof. Nothing. He somehow doesn't know where Sarah is, or really be helpful to John on any of it, even though Skynet would know all the information on her and this the entire time (as soon as it happened in the past, it would know in the future), yet the T-1000 instead just went around being extremely ineffective. And Arnie is even less effective, when you think about it, but his job is obviously to ensure the loop starts again. Which is also the point of sending the T-1000 back to chase people it can't ever somehow kill...but ensures the loop restarts. So...how did the rebellion show up, and send Arnie thru first, and Skynet somehow send the T-1000 AFTER them? Let's consider that. The T-1000 would have never known where or when Arnie went...unless it was on purpose and designed that way. And it was all a plan to reset the loop again with experimentation. If T1 was a couple hundred loops in, T2 would be thousands or tens of thousands of loops in, because the T-1000 exists (each loop upgrading Skynet technology). In T1, Arnie is a Cyberdyne Systems Model 101...nothing else is known. In that movie, he is quite crude by T2 standards, but equally ineffective at killing targets. In T2, Arnie is a Cyberdyne Systems Series 800 Model 101. And again...he fully knows everything going on up to the point that he comes back, with detailed files (as he states)...yet...he is very ineffective. Secondarily...how would Arnie know a secret prototype of Terminator 1000 even exists, with detailed information on it, unless Skynet made him aware of it? In T3...it changes yet again, so he is an Model 850. That keeps continuing as each loop makes Skynet more advanced and upgraded. My theory was always that Skynet is constantly upgrading itself each loop (as it can) and experimenting with outcomes...so Arnie in T2 is actually sent by Skynet, just like the Arnie in T3 & Genisys is sent by Skynet, along with Dark Fate, solely to ensure the loop continues. It doesn't require Reese, or anyone else...it just requires that all the criteria for a loop is met, and a loop restarts in the past, which updates it constantly in the future on what is or is not, most effective to keep upgrading. It would be more efficient for Skynet to control each loop prior to humans ever reaching the teleporter...by making certain each time that the humans thought they controlled outcomes, or had won, by beating intentionally badly designed Terminators. I think personally the greatest thing Cameron did with his movies, is leave them open.
@@johnnyd1790 Don't quote me on any of that. But I flat never caught Arnie Gear Arm or Arnie Skinarm in T2 prior to now. So that is all good catches on your parts. That is some good stuff, so it means Cameron meant to do that. **spoilers so don't read if you don't know** Now my really wacky theory comes from Terminator Salvation. Because I wondered about a specific section in it with Christian Bale. So here's the theory: What if Kyle Reese in T1 was actually just a Skynet prisoner that was brainwashed to go back and start a "new loop" to get out of the original old loops we never saw (because why are you trusting a killer robot it built and owns or Skynet itself about a random future story anyway?), and Skynet kind of randomly picked Sarah Connor a bunch of times into the newer loops to pop out John, because it was easier and faster to do and control? (See- Marcus in Salvation, which is exactly what happens, but see later explanation on why Skynet would never send Marcus back.) Because in Salvation...sure enough, Kyle is a prisoner by Skynet in the future, so John can bust him out...THIS time in THIS loop. Which Skynet planned for. And of which the humans change nothing in the past and the loop keeps looping. Maybe Reese was just an easy fish to catch in the future, and Skynet said...well hell guys, let's use him. Check the history archives and his old youtube videos, let's do a game plan for the next set of loops. By the time Salvation comes around, we know Skynet had access to tons of experimental human stuff far beyond killer robots, and were doing their own versions later on. Which wouldn't have been Marcus (he was just an old school experiment by then that they considered unimportant since John finds out they are way beyond that into using live humans but dismisses it to focus on "muh Arnie Robots")...he was just a stalking horse to keep the loop running in a different way... the whole point was KYLE was the experiment that Skynet would eventually send back itself, or have the humans send back. And in that movie...it is exactly what happens...Kyle Terminator goes to hang out with John, before at some point, being sent back. For all we know, Sarah is captured 10 years later by the military, debriefed in interviews, and tells them everything she knows, so Skynet has those files in the future, and finds them sorting thru some old Pentagon or DIA databases. And I could never quite get WHY Futurerama John (in T2), raised to hate killer robots that try to kill him but somehow could never do so, randomly decides to send back, in the past, to himself... a killer robot that he has to know will somehow be captured or studied, even if by accident, so knows it will start the loop all over again, WHICH IS WHAT ABSOLUTELY NOBODY WANTS TO HAPPEN. All John in T2 had to ever do, is NOT send a robot. Just send a random hobo with some messages to the NSA or something. Which is how we know John didn't send T2 Arnie or T1000...that had to be Skynet, in a super convoluted plan only designed to keep the loop going. Which is then true for each following movie. And finally...something in Dark Fate that caught my attention, which meant someone somewhere was paying attention when writing all these movies... Arnie somehow has the new ability and understanding to "track time travel"...which literally no other Terminator has ever had, and further, he has no idea outside Skynet sending him and his magic mission "is suddenly over after killing John". What? That makes no sense. Unless you were Skynet, that is. Makes sense then. Because there is dialogue strictly stating LOTS of terminators popping up thru time. Why would a terminator with a finished mission ever "feel bad" and track other terminators? And now NewSkynet...which somehow old Skynet knows nothing about, via DF Arnie. Yeah...no. It's Skynet the entire time, playing around and experimenting, but it is happening at an exponential rate to upgrade itself with various outcomes. Yet...no military or intel agency ever somehow catches on that robots using time travel is occurring all the...time? Didn't the cops just say in T2 that the same dude from 1984 showed back up in 1990 doing the same stuff? With dozens of witnesses pointing out he was shot dozens of times (in both movies), was never hurt, and it never bothered him, and it just so happens to be happening with the son of the lady involved in the last time?
@TheCaptainSlappy omfg times 10!😳 Where do you get the patience to write not one but two novels and a half?😃 Here's your reward, go watch the best show ever, the anime Claymore which's leagues and bounds above all the terminators that ever were, are, will or aught to be.😉
1. Linda Hamilton must have been getting "Ah-nold time" to get ripped like that 😍🥰 2. My guess is that stove is hot🧐 3. We have limited AI now, so does China.😱😱 4. Arnold did many of his own stunts in this movie, including riding the motorcycle. At one point he was injured, and they had to stop production for a couple of weeks so he could recover. 5. Arnold is not left-handed, but the way he works that shotgun is impressive😱 6. GOOF: Enrique's dogs don't respond to "Uncle Bob" as a Terminator. 7. "I need a vacation" was ad lib. 8. This is the action movie GOAT.
I saw this at the cinema when it came out and was absolutely blown away. You have no idea what it was like to see CGi like this for the first time. It was absolutely mind blowing and a total game changer. We’d seen nothing even remotely close to this before and I was in awe. This movie is the blueprint for how to make a blockbuster (and a sequel). Incredible!
23:20 is in my opinion a big lesson for John. It's the first time this future military leader has command over a soldier and a weapon system. He didn't use that command responsibly and he almost got innocent people killed. I think that talk he gave to the Terminator about not just killing people was also a lesson to himself. I think John learned a lot at that moment about the responsibility of command.
Yeah, it was mentioned in one of the documentaries. They even had to time the start and stop with that tool that they use. It’s really subtle so it’s hard to miss but now that I knew what to look for if you go back and look at that scene, you can tell that they don’t exactly get it just perfect. They’re off by a little bit. But at the time the concept was really cool.
1. It’s not a rifle, it is a shotgun. And 2. It is a Winchester M1887. In particular what is called a “Mare’s Leg” variant. The only modification is the enlargement of the loop on the lever handle.
Great film, this version has all of the deleted scenes, when the theatrical version came out there was a three part comic book of this movie that actually had all of the extended scenes drawn out as part of the story, and there was supposed to be a scene were the T-1000 interrogates and kills Sarah’s friend and his family from mexico and that’s how he knew where to find her at Cyberdyne but it was never filmed.
@@nomadpurple6154 well Strange days was very much about race relations as it was centred around corrupt cops and the murder of an important African American rapper
Ás well as being a great cyberpunk story about the ability to record and play back other people's experiences as well as being set in the then future of late December 1999
Sad historical fact: During one of the filming nights of the Cyberdine attack, the infamous Rodney King attack was happening not to far away. According to rumor, one of the film cameras caught a little bit of it. Fun fact: The security guard that skewered through the eye by the T-1000 in disguise, and the disguised Terminator were played by twins Dan and Don Stanton. Also, every scene where Sarah was with her dream counterpart, or the T-1000 in disguise as her, the double was played by Linda Hamilton's twin sister. Using twins probably saved a little bit off the special effects budget. Fun Fact #2: In a deleted scene from THE TERMINATOR, it shows that the building where Sarah faced off against the Terminator, was actually Cyberdine, and it shows an employee finding the CPU from the Terminator.
They had to re-shoot the scene of the t-1000 running after john on his bike because robert patrick was such a fast runner he kept catching up to edward furlong lol
Dogs were used as a sort of "Terminator detection system" of sorts in the 1st movie. They would bark almost non-stop when a terminator would be present. So when Arnie as Furlong asked about "Wolfie barking" the T-1000 realized the dog gave him away and thus he killed the dog in another deleted scene
Seeing you guys flabbergasted by the special effects is hilarious. CGI really has skewed our sense of film history and other types of effects that were used prior to CG.
T2 is the perfect action movie. Non-disputable. But the more i watch reactions or movies themselves and time passes by, the more i appreciate the first one. Because it has that horror/thriller vibe, Arnie has one liners, but they are menacing for the most part. Also that low budget, but still good practical effects (i love the future shots with minis flying around) feel. Also it's the origin story. T1 is my favorite.
Two fun facts: 1.) the guy taking the photos of Arnie’s Terminator when he is on his back in the Mall, is actually the same actor and character from the first Terminator movie. and 2.) 49:01 the T-1000 has 3 arms while piloting the helicopter. One on the stick, one on the cyclic and one shooting back at Sarah.
Some have wondered if it's a major plothole that part of the Terminator's arm was still in the machinery, especially since they took great pains to dispose of the other one. In the novelization, they actually did retrieve the arm and dispose of it. Of course, Cyberdyne Systems' breakthrough came from the original Terminator's broken CPU, more so than the arm.
Great film! The theatrical cut is more open ended, so think of this ending as the alternate one as you go into the next film. In fact, maybe look up the theatrical ending to avoid confusion. There's also some interesting off screen lore about the T1000/10001 models that builds on that extra scene of uncle Bob getting his switch flipped.
lol i never thought about the fact that arnold's arm is technically still stuck in the gears of that machine in the forge area.. so someone could come along and find that hand
Waited in line with my high school buddies when it opened at midnight on opening day July 4, 1991. No one knew how the T-1000 would be stopped, and it was awesome.
So glad you are watching the extended director's cut..... FUN FACT: This was actually the theatrical release sneak preview opening night!!! (2h3om) 💀 They downgraded the cut to the theatrical release. After that because when I brought my friends back to see it in the second week of showing , it was already missing scenes. (2hrs) 😱 It was further cut for broadcast release on t v. (90m) 🫣 Two years later they finally released the first extended edition (2h15m) 😎 Then they took forever milking that before they released. The extended directors cut restoring the full vision from Premier night..(2h30m. .. again) 💀🫡💀 Why all the CGI is ground breaking for the era... The continued use of masterful practical effects is astounding..... This includes the casting of twins and. Her sister to pull off. Multiple effects that could not be done with a traditional Split screen. Dixed moment in time ? Not quite ... because it keeps slipping the date but a Judgment Day MUST always happen.
1:03:25 - You guys nailed it; Sarah was once an innocent young woman who was targeted by a killing machine from the future, over something she hadn't even done yet, and in that moment, she was doing the same to Dyson. Even the handgun she shot him with and pointed in his face was a similar model(same manufacturer, different model) as the pistol the original T-800 drew and pointed at her head in those moments before Reese saved her.
Finally! Not bad. A week after you guys reacted to the first Terminator, your reaction to Terminator 2 is up. Glad we don't have to wait too long for the reaction. That's how it should be 💪🏼
Guns ‘N Roses is on the soundtrack and playing on his friend’s boombox. The box of roses wasn’t intentionally a reference to the band but great that it worked that way. 😂
heard youse guys reference halo here and there so imagine to a kid raised on Robocop, Terminators, Aliens, Predator, and Starship Troopers , then getting Halo CE day one. it was the absolute perfect blend of all those in its own miraculous thing that totally blew our minds : D
If memory serves me then the scene where the T-1000 is frozen and it's arms and legs break off then they just used a man missing those limbs made up to look like the T-1000. There was also a practical model made for when the T-1000 was blown up into that weird C shape before it fell into the molten steel
The helicopter flying under the overpass is so amazing yet almost nobody particularly remembers it. That could be the money shot in a movie by itself, but there's so much amazing stuff here, people forget it.
One of the best Terminator films and best movies in cinema history! One of my favorite movies of all time from childhood to adulthood! Great reaction brothers! ❤️ I see we missing my boy Blake he must don't care to see these movies or review them with the gang. 😂
@@RaggedyPackOh okay understandable. Usually people still review certain movies even if it isn't a first time watch for them. But that's dope he helped y'all edit it. Such a good sport! See ya next time Blake! 😉
I think you're misunderstanding what they mean by restoring and remastering this film. The film is as it was made. All they did, was cleaning the film, scan it, and upscale it to 4K. Film is usually said to have a resolution of around ~2.5K resolution in digital format. Unless it's Imax cameras, which have much higher resolution. Youd also be surprised, knowing how much was actually practical effects. The terminator robots in the beginning fight scenes from 2029 were all practical, controllef by people. They just had a much larger budget, so they didn't have to do it, with stop motion. The dream sewuence of the nuke explosion, was entirely practical, using miniatures, air guns, real person size figures (Sarah being stripoed of flesh to the bone), and animatronics (Sarah on fire). It was really mainly the T-1000effects,that were created by CGI.
There's a popular fan theory that on the first loop, without benefit of Future Tech deposited in the past, that Skynet evolved out of the organic/machine blend of Robocop and OCP. Skynet becoming without benefit of time travel jank means Judgement Day was late, but it did come... A human rises up to successfully oppose Skynet and poof, Skynet invents time travel attempting to kill that Hero and speed up Skynet's own creation by leaving future tech in the past.
The ending you saw is the directors cut. It is the ending Cameron wanted, which was definitive, showing they succeeded and the story is over. The studio wanted a more ambiguous ending, leaving it open for more sequels, which is the theatrical version. Personally, I think the directors cut is the best, overall, with so many great scenes that were cut in the theatrical version, like the reprogramming scene, extra scenes with Dyson and his family, the scene with Kyle, and the clips of the T-1000 glitching at the foundry. That being said, I do like the theatrical ending best (probably helps that I like the sequels).
It was so great to see your reactions to these 2 movies; to see how much you appreciated them. I don't have a problem when new viewers don't like films I loved from my generation. But, it's immensely satisfying when they do. Great reactions, guys! I very much enjoyed hearing your thoughts. [subscribed!]
The theatrical release ending is more ambiguous, allowing for the continuation of the series. Part three gets lots of hate. Nothing can hold a candle to this masterpiece, but it's solid.
