    The effects still look better than half the movies out today.
  • @adnanaliable
    do I want to watch an entire video about the making of t 1000? absolutely yes.
  • @macdee6040
    Brilliant movies, so glad they never made any sequel after T2. Just classic :)
  • You did mention Linda Hamilton's twin sister briefly, but I think TWINS should be listed as its own completely separate special effects technique. The mental hospital security guard that was getting coffee from the vending machine also had a twin that was used.
  • @brock1199
    One of my favorite movies, not only because it is brilliant, but I remember as a kid staying up late watching this and Robocop with my father. I'd love to see you break down Robocop in the future
  • @Ryrynz2000
    T2 is incredible. Doubt I'll see a bigger blockbuster in my lifetime.
  • @SilentRunner79
    I feel so privileged to have seen this movie in the cinema when it came out. What an experience. I was 11 at the time and completely blown away.
  • @Ganiscol
    It is still - 30 years later - my favorite film. Everything is on point.
  • In conclusion: James Cameron is insane and we absolutely love him.
  • @1pcfred
    It is a good thing they stopped making Terminator movies after the second one. Can't be topped or equaled.
  • @egodreas
    As a VFX artist at ILM, with over 20 years in the industry, I still found this video very informative and fun. I guess I knew most of it, but there were certainly a few examples of miniatures and rear projection that I had never questioned before. Great work guys!
  • @ian_b
    That first shot of the Terminator skeleton stamping its foot down blew me away at the time and was for me one of the most memorable shots of the movie.
  • @Zalaczar90
    Arnie going from the truck to the 18 wheeler is one my favorite scenes ever.
  • I appreciate CGI replaces a lot of this and the reasons for it etc but there is just something so special about films that used these clever techniques that leave you trying to work out how they were done. It's like trying to work how a magic trick was done Vs oh it's just CGI.
  • @retrotony4119
    That helicopter scene going under the bridge was a great use of CG, oh wait that was real? Cameron has big balls.
  • @dvader3000
    I was 17 when this masterpiece came out and i got to see it in a movie theater in my home country Mexico. What a masterpiece.
  • Point of order... the stop motion animation in The Terminator was “dated” when it was released in 1984. Every 14 to 24 year old I knew at time recognized it as such. However, the movie was so good that you didn’t care. That’s the real testament to the film.
  • @anubis2044
    The "future war" scenes were always my favorite as a kid. They sorta tried to show us that future in Salvation but it didn't look or feel even close to those scenes from T1 and T2. Also, Stan Winston was the man!
  • @Hadrows
    "Listen to me very carefully" That scene Scared me as a kid, now as an adult have to say that's the most impressive way in the movie to explain the whole situation to Dyson, He has seen that robotic arm so many times that he would recognize it in a "microsecond".
