And Terminator 2 is even better

Hey! You just saw my uncle Webster! He’s the reporter asking questions in the police station.

If you go on to Terminator 2 (and why wouldn’t you), I implore you to watch the “Special Edition.” Not, and I repeat NOT the “Ultimate Edition.” You want the Special Edition as that is the only extended edition approved by James Cameron and it has the theatrical ending, which is the best and preferred ending of the film.

I liked T2 more as a kid, but now I really like the grittiness of the first more. But this and T2 are the only ones I accept as canon :)

Theatrical ending is the best

Great reaction guys. There is a TV series called "The Sarah Connor Chronicles" Which i thought was brilliant. 2 seasons starring Lena Headey as Sarah Conner who played Cersei Lannister in GoT. A lot of people knock T3 and other films but i think they were great. You are into a real treat with T2, i look forward to your reaction

This is by far one of my favorite films. Had HBO growing up so I came across a lot of films there and cable TV. This and T2 are cinematic experiences and I never get tired of watching them lol. I've seen every Terminator film and I enjoy T3 and Genisys. The best piece of trivia I've come across was when I watched the special features on a Blu-Ray. James Cameron got the idea for the film during post-production of his previous film, Piranha II: The Spawning, in Rome. Since he had been fired from the production, he had spent the last of his own money on the plane ticket to get there, hoping to be at least involved in the editing process. Without money for proper food, he became increasingly sick, and went to bed one night with high fever. He had a nightmare of a metal endoskeleton emerging from flames, dragging itself over the floor holding kitchen knives. When he woke up, he immediately made a drawing of this vision. Most of the script was written backwards from there: the endoskeleton would have to be futuristic, but since Cameron couldn't afford to set the film in the future, the solution was to bring the future to the present, hence the 'time travel' aspect of the script was written in. When special effects artist Stan Winston was brought in, he added a few more designs for the endoskeleton, but in the end they basically used the one that Cameron had drawn the first time.

Thank you! Always stoked to get more action movie recommendations! They've been so much fun.

Oh neat, I had no idea there was a tv series. I can't imagine the actress who played Cersei playing anyone else, but I bet she's amazing!!

Whoa!! What a unique experience. I can't believe it was a fever dream that inspired this!

T2 is awesome but it's a different movie. Terminator 1 is basically a horror film in the vein of old time classic 50's movies like the wolfman or Frankenstein or Dracula or even 1979's Alien. T2 is more of an adventure movie, great action, special effects, maybe more like a mix of sci fi and crime movie. It's really good and Sarah Conner rocks in T2.

Oh awesome, I definitely want me some more Sarah Conner! She was sooooo badass!

This is one of the best scores of all time. So many chills. The Terminator is a Cyberdine systems model 101. In Alien Ash was a Cyberdine A2 which as Bishop describes were a bit "twitchy". Speaking of Bishop, actor Lance Henrikson was initially considered as The Terminator until they met with Arnold. Cameron's dog was the dog outside of the motel. Stan Winston whom did the FX also did the exploding dog in The Thing. The exploding truck was actually a miniature and one of the trickiest FX in the film !

Fun fact (now you are watching Buffy)— one of the punks at the beginning of the movie is the same actor who plays the vampire Luke in Buffy (season 1 episode 1-2)
