Watch the scene where they pull the T-800's neural net processor in the auto repair shop. If you look closely, you will see that all is not as it seems.

That's not a mirror. That's actually a hole in the wall. Linda Hamilton is in the foreground, working on a fake Arnie head, and her identical-twin sister is in the background, through the mirror, working on the real Arnie. Very nice bit of camera work without special effects.

You can see that the motions by both women are very close, but not perfect. that's just about all that gives it away.

Look what you made me do...

To make up for it, here is a pretty sweet scene from the end of season one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWZFkPiFlkE (Always bothered me how so many dudes ended up in the pool though)

Edit: Shite, I can certainly do that but it might take a while. Rest assured, it will happen.

There's a shot in T2 I love where John drives by on his motorbike in the background with the little engine making a high whining noise and then the front tire of Arnold's motorcycle stops right in front of the camera with the kickass engine in total contrast to John's engine and the background music kicks in with the theme and oh my god its such a cool shot.

I loving love Terminator 2.

Arnold reloading the shotgun on the motorcycle by flipping it in the air and catching while shooting at the T-1000 in the truck is probably the most :rock: scene of any action film.

For all of you young idiots, those are big boobs.

She also died on a diving board in Lethal Weapon 2.

Probably one of the best deaths in cinema.

I with people who think T1 is better than T2, but only slightly. T2 may still be the best action movie ever made, but Terminator is a tighter film and Arnie as the cold ruthless killer was better than Arnie as a bodyguard babysitter.

This is also my opinion to a 92% agreement rate.

I think my favorite scene was the opening when the terminator goes in to the biker bar. It's always fun to see badasses get put in their places by an even bigger badass.




I was kinna pissed when John Conner told the terminator not to kill anyone though. It's a loving terminator kid!

Yes but he doesn't kill anyone in the biker bar either, does he?

It's a kinder, gentler Terminator.

He gives the whole speech too after he gets Arnie to beat up and almost kill a couple of guys who just wanted to help the kid not get raped or something. Kid still annoys the crap out of me for 1/3 the movie

See, it's opinions like this which degrade the conversation.

No one has said T2 sucks. It's only a debate of whether T2 is better than the original.

Each movie is incredible. But different.

His next movie after Avatar was scheduled to be some cyborg post-apocalyptic sci-fi film. I was pretty happy and going "Well his next movie is going to own!"

Then Avatar 2. And 3.

gently caress gently caress gently caress.

ED: Avatar 2 is underwater so really I suspect this was just an excuse to be paid hundreds of millions of dollars to dick around in the ocean, knowing Cameron.

Not only that, but the husky security guard at the mental hospital who orders a cup of coffee and instead gets a piping hot cup of needle-through-the-eyeball? Also had a twin brother who got to kill him in that scene.

I love the mad mix of crazy, innovative special effects genius and dirt-cheap, simple tricks like 'gently caress it, find me actors that have twins.'
