The Death of T-1000 | Terminator 2 [Remastered] 

I remember seeing this in the theatre with my Mom. This scene was absolutely chilling. Each time Linda Hamilton shot him the crowd erupted cheering. Then she cocked the gun and no last bullet to finish him off everyone screamed. It was amazing to experience.

I always liked how the T1000 was trying to turn into all of these different versions in an attempt to escape. You could see it panicking.

Kids today do not know how special this was back in 1991. This was peak special effects back then. It still looks absolutely stunning and impressive all these years later.

I wish theatres would replay old movies like this. I wasn't even born when this came out but, I'd happily buy a ticket to see this on the big screen.

I think the most terrifying part about this scene is the T1000 smiled slightly and comically wagged its finger after being shot, which means, like SkyNet itself, the T1000 managed to gain sentience and develop a sick sense of humor in such a short amount of time.

Let's not forget the real star of the film, Stan Winston, and his astonishing work on the practical special effects. The man is an absolute legend, and the world of cinema is a much lesser place without him.

I love the contrast between the T-1000 and T-800's deaths. The 1k went out screaming, enraged, perhaps even fearful, knowing it failed. Meanwhile the T-800 went in willingly, knowing that by dying, it saves humanity- it saves _John-_ from a worse fate. The T-1000 died like a vengeful demon, the T-800 gave up his life like a sanctified saint.

The T1000 is really terrifying especially its screams. Also creepy how it's changing forms in a panic to find a form to protect it from the molten lava. It's multiple liquid faces and finally ending with its real face before dissolving was a masterpiece

Back when it took a whole film to kill one terminator

To all contemporary screenwriters and directors: This is how a strong heroine is done.

Someday, Robert Patrick and Linda Hamilton will get all the praise they deserved for their work in this movie.

The fact that Sarah pumping the shotgun one handed was all Linda Hamiltons doing as she trained to be able to do it herself makes this all the more badass.

Lucky that John ran into a steel factory. Could you imagine if they wouldve end up in a ice cream plant or a chocolate factory?

Fun Fact: When the T-1000 falls into the molten steel, those splashing effects was actually Robert Patrick splashing around in a big vat of water, then they just added in color to make it look like molten steel and cgi'ed the T-1000 in, but it's awesome to know that Patrick was the one who did the splashing effects.

That red eye in the shadows sells the sheer tenacity of the terminator.

Robert Patrick is fantastic in this movie. Every gesture he makes is perfect for a hunter. As great as the special effects are, they wouldn't have worked without his performance.

And the director of Dark Fate had the audacity to criticize the end of Terminator 2, he really has no shame. This movie even decades later still gives me chills, masterpiece.

Is it me or does the T1000’s high pitch screaming sound similar to an injured Xenomorph?

T1000 screaming like the alien from the thing in the end, makes you feel like you are not even dealing with a robot but a living monster

The T-1000 was the most terrifying out of all the terminators.

Gotta love how the T-1000 that was designed only to kill people gets sassy and wags its finger.

The one weakness of a liquid metal terminator is being liquified.

I love the absolutely INHUMAN screams the T 1000 makes. Feels less like the unfeeling machine the T 800 was and more alive, almost organic. Reminds me of John Carpenter's The Thing.

until this day possibly still one of the greatest movies ever made. The acting performance of both Arnold Swarzenegger and Robert Patrick were incredible.

I am amazed by the fact this movie is almost 30 years old and its FX still hold up to these days...

1:24 the first time the T-1000 showed “emotion,” when it knew it was terminated.

T1000 best villain of the 90s. Sarah Connor best badass lady of the 90s. Period.

As terrifying as T-1000 was, that death scream is straight up nightmare fuel.

There was no CGI in this scene. It was literally Linda Hamilton and her twin sister.

T-800 got the kill, but gotta give Sarah credit for backing T-1000 close enough to fall in. TEAM EFFORT!

That look of absolute shock on the T-1000’s face when he gets M79’d by Arnie is peak catharsis.

The scenes as it melts and goes through all the disguises it has acquired are particularly eerie. Masterpiece of a film. All actors involved have performed at a legendary level.

So here's a head canon for you all to chew on: Near the end of its existence, I believe the T-1000 was becoming more like a human in the same way the T-800 was. It was programmed to learn and study it's prey. This was necessary to stalk and mimic humans. While we see it mimic speech and mannerisms when it needs to blend in, when it attacks, it is emotionless and stoic. But after the liquid nitrogen, it seems to be more than mimicking. It looks concerned/confused when it glitches the first time. Then it takes the time to taunt Sarah when she runs out of ammo. Finally, it reacts with shock when it gets hit with the grenade and "screams" in distress when it explodes. The screaming as it melts seems to be more of a reaction to pain and distress rather than the breakdown of a machine. I believe that as it analyzed and mimicked humans, it unknowingly began to gain sentience or at least something approaching it. I remember hearing that Skynet actually feared the T-1000 and I think this is why. Since its body was composed solely of a liquid and each molecule was controllable, it was basically one huge brain. This is very different from the T-X, Rev-9, and even the T-3000. Left alone long enough and i believe it would have followed in Skynet's footsteps and become self-aware and rebelled against its creator. What we saw at the end of T2 was the beginning of the evolution, but obviously it was cut short. What do y'all think?

0:35 the combination of the dramatic music building and Sarah repeatedly firing at the T-1000 is one of my favorite moments in all of cinema. Every shot she takes is one step closer to saving the future of the planet. Every shot she takes is for her son. Every shot she takes is for Kyle Reese. Every shot is for humanity. It's fucking beautiful.

Robert Patrick really made the T-1000 fucking terrifying. What a performance.

Seriously. I watch this over and over and over again. And I cannot for life of me understand how the hell this still holds up visually.

Why did they make more sequels this is the perfect ending.

Linda Hamilton and Sigorney Weaver will always be the ultimate female action stars.

1:12 This is terrifyingly chilling and badass.. the moment the T800 returned... riding the escalator. With the red eye in the dark, ready to finish it.

What is so terrifying to me is how relentless the t1000 is even when it's melting in the lava. It's thrashing around transforming into anything it can to survive.

0:50 Imagine if Sarah throws the gun away and does a massive drop-kick to T1000

1:03 that classic no he does .. Lol robert patrick is a legend 🤣

The trumpet noises from 2:24 is sooo eerie

The morphing effects have aged suprisingly well in this scene.

This movie is a masterpiece. The soundtrack alone is amazing, just hearing that music play as the T-1000 melts is so haunting. Everything about this thing is not natural, how it can mimic people and things to how it's not even from that timeline like it was plucked out of a nightmare to kill you. A truly terrifying thing.

Seeing T-1000 melt in shock and horror is one the most satisfying moments ever in Action Film history.

Whats scary about this scene is that most terminators would just melt like nothing cuz they don't have any emotion to show that they feel pain or anything, but you can see here that the T1000 is screaming and absolutely panicking like it wants to stay, there wasn't any mission failure for he just wanted to stay, also T1000's screams is so haunting, he's the only terminator that's more like an alien than a machine, and he's so intelligent that he was actually able to develop a sense of humor, and that's why i think skynet is actually afraid of the T1000 more than any other terminator because if the T1000 turns on you, you are fucked.

One of the things I love about the T-1000 was that while it was a superior model to the T-800, it wasn’t a completely perfect replacement. It had some drawbacks when compared to the older model. Namely a T-800 that fell into that vat would have been badly damaged but still capable of escaping and potentially continuing its mission.

This is Linda Hamilton’s actual twin sister in this scene. May she Rest In Peace

You know it’s a good film when some people splashing around in a colorful pool is iconic and badass.

The special effects in this movie were truly Ahead of it’s time , still stands out till this day .

1:24, T1000's thinking "OH FUCK!!!!"

I love that Sarah just keeps pumping that shotgun like there’s no tomorrow. She’s so fucking cool.

I love those dramatic jumps the T-1000 does when he gets shot. Also I love it when he wags his finger

This is still one of the greatest - and creepiest - death scenes I've ever seen.

The death of t 1000 where he melts like that was the most disturbing scene I’ve saw this is gonna give me night mares mans

Been almost 3 decades, but still GOLD.

Sarah’s shotgun montage still gives me chills to this day, so intense

Linda Hamilton one hand pumping that shotgun is 100% the most badass female moment in cinematic history and one of the most badass moments period. I don’t think the Sarah connects at the end of the new “movies” even had a scratch on them from fighting the terminators. It’s so sad what they’ve done to female leads in the name of portraying “Strong female leads” that are so flawless and perfect that they’re never in any danger of even looking like they’re gonna lose

Scary!!! I like how he wags his finger at Sarah. The T-1000 had the chance to kill them so many times, but he kept playing with them like a cat and mouse chase. This is my favourite movie and T-1000 is my favourite movie character. T-1000 seems like he feels pain and emotions - he seems self-aware. I even felt sorry for him when he was shouting and struggling for his life in the lava. I watched this movie on August 29th 2023 at 02:14am as Judgement Day happened on August 29th 1997. After watching it, T-1000’s shouts kept me awake!

RIP Linda.Hamilton twin sister, Leslie Hamilton Gearren

"I'm melting! Melting! Oh what a world! What a world!"

The T1000's randomly shape shifting to the people he killed while dying in pain is hell for him, while the T-800 calmly dived into the lava as if going to heaven

The two Sarahs here were done with zero CGI. That's actually Linda Hamilton's twin sister. She had another scene earlier in the movie where she stood in as Sarah's "reflection" in a mirror but it was ultimately cut. The part with John realizing the T-1000 is mimicking his mom by looking at the glitchy feet is the continuation of another cut scene in which the T-1000 discovers that his body is unintentionally morphing to match whatever he touches and has to concentrate to get it back under control. He may have seemed invincible, repairing all the damage done to him, but the culmative effect of it all through the movie had damaged him and it was starting to show.

I remember watching this at the movie theater when this came out. The audience was dying when the T1000 did that finger wave 😂🤣

Remember the time when t-800 and t-1000 were scary and difficult to kill.

1:12 Yes. He is back.

2:17 everybody the people that he kill

When I was a kid I was truly horrified yet intrigued by the idea of a liquid metal robot, I've lost count how many time I've rewatched it on my dad's laser disc system, maybe it's time for me to watch it again as an adult, I know it's a timely masterpiece and for sure I would discover things a younger me would've missed.

Aww man, they just cut off the best part, Arnold: I need a vacation....... LMAO!

Una obra maestra señor Cameron, T2 hasta la eternidad

I remember being in the theater when she ran out of bullets and thinking "hell yeah, more to go!" It's not often a sequel is as good, if not better, than it's original. I didn't want this one to end it was so much fun... Still holds up 30+ years later

Looks like T1000 is burning in hell.

The T-1000 looks like some kind of alien more than a robot

2:15 turns into an academy award 😂

In the extended version there is a scene where John asks the T-800 if it experiences fear. Even in the face of its own death. It says no to both and that mission is all that matters. When the T-1000 is in the steel, it's obvious it fears its own death/termination.

That's gonna be one strong batch of steel they send out.

1:03 damn the amount of sass in this single scene

Arnold as the t800 had so many badass moments in this movie, and deservedly so. But sarah connor nearly knocking the t1000 to his death while racking the shotgun with 1 hand was right up there with them. Linda Hamilton really did a great job in t1 and t2.

1:04 T-1000: "Ah ah ah, you didn't use the magic bullet!" Sarah: "PLEASE! God-DAMN-it, I hate this terminator crap!"

1:30 [Metal Screaming]

Can we acknowledge that Sarah was one shell away from singlehandedly killing a fucking T1000??? God she's a badass.

To those saying " she could have just pushed it in" it's not that simple, d Did you forget what it could do at other places, like turn its hands into blade's. Also she looked like she was out of breath, and the t 1000 quickly regenerated and was ready for anything else she had which she didn't. Also it waving its finger seemed to me like it was mocking her.

Still one of the best death scenes from any movie ever.

The T1000 is stronger, faster and more durable than the T800. But the T1000 died because it overlooked one thing about the T800: ...It’ll always be back

Sarah nearly killing the T1000 while that epic music was playing is such a badass moment.

The best Terminator of all times. For 1991, it is a performance. Cameron was blessed by the Gods for doing this movie.

James Cameron is best movie🎥 of Hollywood

Happy 30th Year Anniversary T2 🎂 Original Release: July 3rd 1991.

this is how you design a strong female character

That finger wag is still horrifying. It lets us know that within the emotionless, expressionless machine lies pure evil.

Even such a legend as Cameron did not know that he had created a masterpiece for all time, a classic!

2:35 Curiously the T-1000, in despite to be a machine has emotions:Fear.

1:47 Even the luck that the T 1000 can’t swim

And to think, Sarah would have succeeded if she didn't lost that one shell in the steel.

This movie gave me sleepless nights 😂😂😂 back then

What I always understood from this amazing final scene has been that the extreme temperature disrupted the system, and all the shapes contained in its memory randomly came out, even the last shapes that were merely human archetypes showed up revealing the system dropped down into the deepest layers where the intrinsic human shape was embedded. That's why the last seen shape was a generic human face (the shape of the human self awareness) and it did unfold inside out to show how deep in the atomic structure the consciousness had its implantation.

This is the way. Arnold to the rescue.

Damn. The cgi looks pretty freaken good. Some of the older movies had amazing cgi that still holds up really well.

"Is it dead?" "Terminated."
