James Cameron refused to make Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) until visual effects had evolved enough to bring the T-1000 to life. The gamble paid off: the film grossed over $520 million worldwide and changed blockbuster filmmaking forever.

I remember losing my mind when I saw that in the cinema it was the coolest effect I could’ve ever imagined. But then again look at how far we’ve come. You can do that shit on your phone now. 😅🤓

The real reason for the liquid metal is that The Abyss flopped but Cameron wanted to show off the liquid CGI so he reused it here. I always wanted an explanation how the liquid metal machine worked.

It was great! But, he needs to get back to doing more movies like that. This avatar is nothing more than a glorified video game. Way to much cgi.

D’ailleurs, il avait déclaré dans le magazine Mad Movies quand Terminator 3 sortait qu’il voulait que T3 soit à T2 ce que T2 était à T1 et qu’il lui aura fallu au moins 250 millions de $ pour réaliser sa vison. Cela était impensable à la fin des années 90, début des années 2000.

Not exactly. Cameron didn’t want to work with the original studio again, but they owned the rights, so he couldn’t stop them from making T2 with someone else. (They reportedly considered hiring John McTiernan who directed Die Hard.)

Terminator 2: Judgment Facts -Director James Cameron asked Stan Winston to direct a teaser trailer. Cameron did not want the trailer to just be early footage, and so with a budget of $150,000, Winston created a trailer that showed a futuristic assembly line churning out copies of Terminators, all of which looked like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Cameron was pleased with this trailer, as he had fears about audience reactions to trailers showing Schwarzenegger returning as a Terminator (after the Terminator in the first film was clearly destroyed). The teaser ran over a year in advance of T2's release and was shown before another Schwarzenegger hit film, Total Recall (1990). -This is the only "Terminator" film to win or be nominated for an Oscar. It won four out of the six it was nominated for. -There was concern as to how realistic CGI would look when it came to the helicopter going under the bridge, so the pilot did it for real. -According to director James Cameron, Linda Hamilton suffered permanent hearing damage in one ear during the elevator shootout because she did not insert her earplugs after removing them between takes. -Lots of Edward Furlong's voice had to be re-dubbed by Furlong again in post-production, because it changed during shooting. -Industrial Light & Magic's computer graphics department had to grow from six artists to almost thirty-six to accommodate all the work required to bring the T-1000 to life, costing US $5.5 million, and taking eight months to produce, which ultimately amounted to 3.5 minutes of screen time. -Michael Biehn was first considered for the role of the T-1000, in a complete reversal of roles with Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was now a hero. -Linda Hamilton's then twenty-month-old son, Dalton, played an infant John Connor in a playground dream sequence. -The sound used for Arnold Schwarzenegger's shotgun was actually two cannons. -Over one million feet of film was shot and printed. -Over one million feet of film was shot and printed. -Denzel Washington turned down the role of Miles Bennett Dyson
