January 4, 20232 yr I'll fight every man who says this isn't the perfect action movie. SO many great set pieces, with each successive one getting more intense and desperate. The liquid metal CGI gets all the press (and holds up even today) but practical effects make this movie. All the hits and punches actually hurt, unlike the dancing that passes as "fighting today." And you're a soulless man if you didn't crack up at least a little bit at the end.
January 4, 20232 yr I used to play that opening over and over when I first got a home theater. Perfect for showing off your system with all the bass and localized sounds.

January 16, 20232 yr I first saw this movie the last day of school my junior year in high school after skipping and going to Galveston to drink on the beach all day as was local tradition. A couple of friends worked at the AMC East/West theaters near Almeda Mall and we watched it on a screen with like 10 people and beer after they closed for the night. One of the greatest days of my life. Edited January 16, 20232 yr by Hozz MORE

I watched MTV every night to catch this video with all the Terminator movie clips. Great memories. I fell in love with music that year because of it and never looked back.
January 16, 20232 yr Cool bit of trivia I just read on IMDB is that they originally wanted Michael Biehn as T-1000 but decided that would be too confusing for the audience. That could have made a cool plot point where Skynet somehow captured him and got his dna in the future or something to reproduce.
January 16, 20232 yr As much as I love T2 it isn’t perfect. Almost perfect, but as David Allan Coe said, it needed another verse. What’s missing? Nekkid Linda Hamilton that’s what. Also, Edward Furlong is a whiny little twit that is so annoying that you root a bit for the T1000 to decapitate him. No way he grows up to save humanity.
January 16, 20232 yr "Come with me if you want to live", what an awesome moment/line delivery that was. Edited January 16, 20232 yr by Pam Cummings

January 18, 20232 yr I still say they fucked up the space time continuum in the first one with the picture of Sarah Connor at the end.
January 18, 20232 yr I love that GnR song. Same thing in that I remember it being on in my youngin' days and we all thought it was the coolest thing.

January 26, 20232 yr How old was Leonardo Dicaprio in 1991? Coulda got him.He would’ve been an upgrade but 2-3 yrs before he was nailing movie roles. Glad they didnt go Maculey Culkin.

No way he grows up to save humanity. he wasn’t as bad as you’re making him out to be. maybe whined a bit in a couple scenes but he was supposed to be what? 14? he was good in the role. shit nm he’s supposed to be 10. he was good. you’re complaining about a great movie. just fuck off.

July 13Jul 13 I just know these movies really aren’t on the cultural awareness/what have you of my middle-schooler and his friends, and I hope Alamo will do a double-header of the original Terminator and T2 in the next few years, so he gets to fully experience the flip from antagonist to protagonist.
July 13Jul 13 Furlong wasn't as bad as people say. He was worse.Yeah, T2 rocked but the scrappy doo/Frankenstein scenes make it a less serious movie than the original.
