If i remember correctly, Patrick trained in track and field events, no wonder he could run so well.

When Sarah shoots her way into Dyson's house and he answers her rage with "What?" - at that moment she saw herself, and realized that _she had become a Terminator._ That was the revelation that stopped her from killing him. The idea that she had become a killing machine to the point of being willing to kill someone who was fundamentally innocent of any crime was too much for her. And that proved that she was not truly mad, that her trauma had not crippled her completely, and that she could come back - at least enough to do what she had to do without succumbing to the evil she was fighting. Deep and dark, indeed.

30 years later this movie can still hold it's ground against any film in the genre and is still one of the best sci-fi / action films of all time.

R.Patrick elevated this movie from 100 to 200 !

That ending would never have been as impactful without the thumbs-up.

Two little details I love: In the early flashforward when we see John Connor as an adult, watch the way he moves - his head and eye movements are an echo of the Terminator's because he learned how to be tough and strong and unyielding from his machine "dad". And when the Terminator picks up the mini-gun for the first time, his smile is a deliberate imitation of John's, which you see in the next shot - the smile crawls up the side of their faces in exactly the same way. He's learning how to be human, but he's learning specifically from John. So each of them takes something from the other. :D

You know the director and actor is outstanding good when they make you cry for real over a machine :´)

The Director's Cut of this movie expands the story, including a scene before the 3rd Act, where Sarah and John reprogram Arnold's Terminator so he can learn new things. It's helps explain why he picks up some more human characteristics towards the later part of the film, including smiling and understanding why John cries at the end.

Actually in most of the shots (particularly those showing Edward Furlong in closeup) they have a tow pulling the bike, and what they did was have it go faster. According to Cameron, initially the crewman driving the tow said it was already quick enough to where Robert Patrick supposedly wouldn't catch Furlong but not only did RP catch up, he even tapped Eddie on the shoulder. So they sped it up even more. Indeed RP was indeed an insane runner tho. Even a decade later in X-Files there's spots where you can tell Patrick did cut down his run speed or he would ended some eps early, lol.

We'll probably never know the whole story, but, comparing their other works, the whole "Terminator" concept feels a lot more like Ellison than Cameron to me.

Terminator 2 makes any grown man cry at the end. I guess this is how much boys do look up to their fathers.

one of my favorite little details in this film that most people probably don't even notice is when the terminator opens the door to Dyson's house and a heavy piece of metal clangs to the floor. It was obviously meant to be some kind of heavy-duty security measure to re-inforce the door against break-ins, but the terminator just walked through it like it wasn't even there. Also, the ripple that goes up the T-1000's face after he pins the terminator's arm was a glitch. It was meant to show that it had been damaged by being frozen and shattered and now it was malfunctioning. There's more in the director's cut. However, since the rest got cut, it just looks like a random bit of weirdness.

Somehow I never noticed before that Arnie's Terminator was using flammable fuel truck and Robert's with nitrogen coolant what makes a perfect reflection on their T-800/1000 design

Amazing the Movie was made over 30 years ago and the CGI still incredible even now.

Robert Patrick's portrayal of the T-1000 is often overlooked, but is a crucial part of the movie. Arnie was threatening in the original partially down to his sheer size, but despite the fact that he towers over Patrick it's clear that the T-1000 is a menacing villain, and the superior 'killing machine' . From the way that he runs, to the cold expression on his face, and his emotionless voice. The fact that he trained himself not to blink when firing a gun is a testament to his dedication to the role.

I forgive them now but at the time we had T2 on VHS and I watched it all the time throughout the years. I think I still tear up every single time I watch this movie's ending because in a lot of ways Arnold's character was like a hero father figure in my eyes. A few years ago I bought the Director's cut on Amazon and watch it occasionally even though I've seen the movies probably hundreds of times as a kid. The director's cut adds allot of context and depth even for the 10 or so extra minutes of cut scenes from the theatrical cut.

That orange glow you see when Arnie emerges was a compound that reacted when you shawn light directly onto it. I always thought the special effects dept. heated the crap out of it with a flame before shooting. LOL. Interesting fact: When they first shot the T-1000 chasing J Connor on the bike he actually caught up to him pretty easily. The actor who Plays Dyson was in a car crash and one of his lungs collapsed. When you see and hear him hyperventilating as such, that was him recreating his experience. Dark, huh?

His foster mom is not only Vasquez in Aliens, she's also in James Cameron's Titanic. She plays the mom in third class who tells her children a bedtime story as the boat sinks since most people in third class were locked in and couldn't get to lifeboats.

In the director's cut there is a scene where John removes an inhibitor in the terminator's brain that prevents it from learning. This scene, and the corresponding scenes where John is trying to teach him to be more human, all contribute to a more impactful ending. When the T-101 says, "I know now why you cry" he's not saying he understands it logically, he's saying he too wishes he could cry because he feels the emotion.

Robert Patrick (the actor who played the T-1000) actually was fast enough to catch John Connor. He had trained intensely to be able to sprint after that motorcycle while holding his breath since a robot wouldn't need to breathe. He also trained to fire a pistol with the opposite hand since a machine would be able to fire one regardless of which hand they were holding the gun with.

Also, the ending of Terminator 3 really rounds out the entire story and gave me the chills, in a good way. You can be done after that one.

One scene missing that is in the directors cut that explains a lot as to why the Terminator is able to bond with John. There is a scene in the directors cut where John, Sara & the Terminator are hiding out in the garage and they are sewing up the bullet holes in the Terminators skin. The Terminator explains that they are shipped from the factory with a limiter on thier chip that prevents them from becoming TOO aware. Apparently the AI in charge didn't want the Terminators to think too much for themselves. The Terminator explains that they can remove the chip from his head and set the switch on it to a different setting allowing him to be able to learn more and basically think more for himself. That is why the Terminator is able to learn to become more human-like and even care for John. I don't know why they cut the scene from the theater version as it was only about 5 minutes or so long, but it explains a lot and should not have been cut.

Cameron is a master of using FX in a way that will forever look good. (with Terminator there was only so much he could do with 6 million dollars) The CGI in T2 was revolutionary, but the liquid metal terminator was relatively easy to render compared to something like the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park so that's why Cameron used it. Most of the other FX were done practically, and often not even with miniatures. The Cyberdyne Systems building explosion, for example... that was an actual office building that they really blew up with real explosives. They really did drive a semi-truck off a bridge, and they really did fly a helicopter under a freeway overpass. That stuff is all real. In the director's cut there is one REALLY impressive scene they unfortunately had to cut out where Sarah and John cut into the T-800's head to flip a switch on his CPU and allow him to learn - they pull off that shot using Linda Hamilton's real-life twin sister standing on the other side of a fake mirror.
