TERMINATOR 2 (1991) Breakdown | Easter Eggs, Hidden Details, Making Of & Ending Explained

Apologies for the delay with this video. StudioCanal blocked it and had it taken offline with us receiving a copyright strike. Been a lot of back and forth with them and eventually it got to the point they had to either take us to court to keep it offline or just let it go. Been very stressful and thankfully in the end they let it go. Doubt I will cover their films again but they own the rights to so many it might be difficult not to. Either way thanks for all your support on the series and I'm glad you can finally watch this!

Robert Patrick as the T-1000 is one of the best castings in movie history. He played the part perfectly and was an incredible villain. Everybody in the film was excellent but for me, Robert Patrick stole the show. Amazing performance.

I had this nightmare that in a parallel universe the series didn't stop at T2 and they made further films that got progressively worse and worse. Sends shivers up my spine!

I love how Robert Patrick was so good at the running he practiced, he was able to catch John's Dirtbike every take. 😂

I can’t believe Arnie shooting people but not killing them wasn’t in the original script, that’s one of the best moments in the movie and shows how calculated the terminator is.

My father said he had seen T2 in theatres and, sitting a few seats down from him, was someone who hadn’t seen any trailers, interviews or media material for the movie prior. When the hallway scene twist with the flowers and the shotgun happened, my dad said he had never heard someone gasp louder in his life before nor since. You got the idea that the T-1000 was bad, but NEVER that the T-800 was good. I often think about that and envy what that man must’ve been feeling.

Seeing this in the movies opening weekend, I don’t think kids today understand how mind blowing this movie was. That opening shot of the future war had me and friends jaws on the floor. Still the best action movie ever made.

Yes, Guns and Roses provided the song, “You Could Be Mine” for the T2 soundtrack. They recorded a music video featuring several clips from the movie, interspersed with Arnold playing the T-800, even interacting with the band at the end. The scene with him pulling the shotgun out of the rose box was prominently featured in the video, so it was definitely a shout out to the band. I recorded the video off MTV and probably rewatched it 50 times before the movie released in theaters.

I remember crying my eyes out during the thumbs up scene... This movies is just perfect.

The T1000 having that third arm to pilot the chopper while reloading his gun was something I totally missed!

MASTERPIECE! Too bad they never made any sequels or TV shows after this...

Jeanette Goldstein was one of James Cameron's favourite actors along with Bill Paxton, Michael Biehn and Lance Henriksen. Goldstein appeared as the foster mum in T2, Vasquez in Aliens and was also in Near Dark and Titanic.

Not only is this the greatest sequel of all times, its up there are one of the greatest movies of all times. Classic.

One detail that was missed, the scene when Arnie is shooting the officers with the grenade launcher in the lobby. That was a different launcher, it was the one the SWAT team used to launch smoke grenades and that's why they didn't explode. Arnie's explody launcher is a single shot, the smoke one isn't.

I like how, at the end of the non-extended version, John figures out that his real mom is the no-nonsense one who says "Get out of the way John!" instead of "Help me" - rather than because of the T1000's glitch. 😲

Great video as always. There is one thing I noticed. You said Arnie is firing grenades at the SWAT team as a non lethal option and they weren't exploding because "they need to travel a certain distance before they can detonate". While this is certainly true for 40mm grenades (as seen in Predator ("knock knock")), Arnie is firing a multi-shot tear gas gun, not a grenade launcher. It's likely that even the force of an undetonated 40mm grenade being used would have killed some of them anyway, so he used the gas gun for a quickfire, non-lethal, incapacitating solution.

My favorite movie. My best friend and I ditched school every day for a month and caught the noon show. We were usually the only people in the theater. Best memories. I still watch this movie often and have it memorized. Thank you James Cameron ❤❤❤

It’s amazing how well T2 has hold up. It’s like Die Hard; often imitated, never bested.

One that I love from T2, is when the T-800 and the T-1000 lock arms and just sort of stop. It's like they have no clue how to fight another machine, since against a human they'd just impale him or crush his throat or something, and just have to spend a moment assessing each other figuring out how to continue fighting.

I was really impressed with the amount of time, effort, and dedication Robert Patrick put into the role. I can only imagine how difficult it had to be in order to fire a pistol equally well with both hands, look like an expert, and do it without blinking or altering facial expression. He was awesome in this movie.
