Topic: T2 - Judgment Day

Hey everyone, it’s Dorkman.

Teague let me do the write-up this week for Terminator 2: Judgment Day. (Special Edition.) You probably want me to say something hilarious about “being back” to this franchise. Screw that. I’m not your dancing monkey.

This film is one of those rare examples of a sequel which is far superior, in every way, to the original. A distinction that is only more pronounced now that we’ve been subjected to an additional two inferior sequels, and a television show made by folks who don’t seem to have watched any of the above. The usuals are on hand to discuss what should have been the triumphant conclusion to a classic sci-fi story.

Re: T2 - Judgment Day

Saw this article... thought I'd share here.

42 Things We Learned From the ‘Terminator 2: Judgment Day’ Commentary

As Cameron points out, Schwarzenegger never blinks in Terminator 2. It’s not something you think about, but it’s impressive Schwarzenegger was able to pull that feat off.

“What did you use for the liquid nitrogen,” asks Wisher. “Uh, liquid nitrogen,” responds Cameron, who explains there is no real way to simulate liquid nitrogen. He also notes that dealing with liquid nitrogen on set is like dealing with fire on set. The shots of Robert Patrick walking through it and getting doused was done with water.

Linda Hamilton has permanent damage in one ear because of the scene in the elevator with the T-800 firing a shotgun. Between takes, Hamilton used the restroom and removed her earplug. She forgot to put it back in before resuming the scene. Cameron notes that the shot that did the damage is still seen in the film.

If all of Arnold Schwarzenegger characters fought in a battle royal. Who would win?

Re: T2 - Judgment Day

Keeping my love for T:TSCC quiet because of my desire for approval.

Anyway, I'm excited to listen to the episode before my Terminator Marathon next week. Should be fun.

Re: T2 - Judgment Day

I never had any problems with T:TSCC taken as a self-containing entity. It had Lena Headey, Summer Glau and Garret Dillahunt which made the show for me.

6 °C? By Polish standards, that's a very warm winter big_smile

So honor the valiant who die 'neath your sword
But pity the warrior who slays all his foes...

Re: T2 - Judgment Day

Listening to this again, I still cannot fathom how anyone would watch this film for the first time with the sound off. If I could go back and enjoy this movie for the first time again...

Plus this film has some of the best sound design and sound mixing ever.

Also about the difference in hair style in the photos of the 84 police station siege shown in this film; in T1 Arnold does have shorter hair in the later part of the movie. He also has no eyebrows, since he was seared after jumping through the fire after Reese and Sarah escape the club shooting.
