Robert Patrick’s T-1000 in Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) is still one of the most best performances in sci-fi. He trained to run without showing exhaustion & modeled his movements after liquid metal, perfectly matching the film’s revolutionary effects.

The VFX team behind The Abyss (1989) spent six months creating this scene. It became the first CGI water simulation in film history and later paved the way for the T-1000 effect in Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991).

The LA storm drain chase in Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) is action filmmaking at its peak. Practical stunts, real weight, pure momentum, and this sequence alone could have made the film a classic.

'The Terminator' is the only character to be listed in the American Film Institute's 100 Heroes and Villains as both a villain [for 'The Terminator' (1984)] and a hero [for "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" (1991)]. Al Pacino and Arnold Schwarzenegger are the only two actors to be on the list as playing a villain and a hero, but Pacino played two different characters. Thirteen other actors and actresses appear twice or more, but either all as heroes, or all as villains. P.S: On this day, 35 years ago, James Cameron's "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" (1991) premiered in Century City, California, USA.

The canal chase in Terminator 2 (1991) features the truck’s roof being ripped off, a moment improvised on set. When the crew realized the truck was too tall for the bridge, James Cameron decided to film the roof being sheared off for real.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) is peak Arnold Schwarzenegger. It takes the brutality of the first film, expands the scale, and anchors the spectacle in a clear emotional arc. Every action beat serves the story. A rare blockbuster that never loses focus.

TERMINATOR Genisys-Legacy Effects was able to make an impressive clay replica to build a life-size prosthetic dummy of the original T-800 for The Terminator (1984). The hairs had to be applied 1 by 1. Looks just like Arnold!

Arnold Schwarzenegger reportedly earned about $15 million for Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991). With only around 700 words of dialogue in the film, that works out to a tongue-in-cheek estimate of more than $20,000 per word.

Robert Patrick as the T-1000 in Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) was terrifying in his precision. He trained with a sprint coach to run full speed without heavy breathing & kept his eyes unblinking in every chase — making the machine feel chillingly real.

Before CGI could convincingly duplicate humans, Terminator 2 (1991) solved it the practical way. James Cameron used identical twins to create double shots with real lighting and physical presence. CGI was saved for the liquid metal, while Leslie Hamilton doubled Sarah Connor, and Don and Dan Stanton doubled the T 1000 guard scene.

Robert Patrick famously trained himself to barely blink as the T-1000 in Terminator 2, a deliberate choice by him and director James Cameron to enhance the character's inhuman, robotic, and menacing nature, making him appear more machine-like and cold by studying predator eye movements and practicing without blinking while shooting guns.
