It's almost impressive how shit this movie was

Any story that has backwards time travel falls apart if you think about it, no matter how good it is.

You just have to pretend nothing after T2 ever happened.

First one is the best. It's kind of fun to watch how they dealt with technical and budgetary limitations.

I think they toy truck that he runs over in the beginning was the same model of toy truck they used for the big explosion scene at the end since they did it all with miniatures.

I liked that every time they did another sequel after 3 they had to tell people to forget what ever Terminator movies that were made after T2. By the last one it was “ok, we fucked up 3 times, but THIS is the true sequel to T2!” And it sure wasn’t. That’s what’s crazy to me - they got 4 chances and hundreds of millions of dollars and they just couldn’t get it right. I think during the press for the last one Arnold said it was to be the first of a trilogy (sounds like something James Cameron would want) but it didn’t make the money wanted so now the franchise is finally dead.

I probably like them both equally. Just depends what type of movie you're in the mood for. This scene is still so fawkin good..



Also young Linda Hamilton can absolutely get it, even with her stupid 80s hairdo.

Now I gotta watch this entire movie. So much for catching a nap before the night shift.

Yeah, I'm also not like that faggot Rich Evans who plain dismisses the second one entirely because "the terminator wasn't the bad guy." I'm glad the sequel didn't just straight up repeat the first one and had its own tone and execution.

I didn't know that. It's funny because that movie had some of the most mediocre, forgettable actors in it in almost every role. The guy who played John Connor was boring af

Nick Stahl. He's actually a good actor - he was great as the eponymous Bully and was good in Carnivale. Like Furlong, he nearly killed himself with drugs, but I think he pulled himself together and is working again.
