Hasta la vista, baby. 🤖
This week on The VHS Club, we're going back to 1991 for one of the biggest, loudest, most technologically groundbreaking sequels ever made: Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is back as the Terminator, except this time, he's the GOOD guy. Linda Hamilton completely transforms Sarah Connor into one of the most iconic action heroes of the '90s. Edward Furlong makes his film debut as John Connor. And Robert Patrick spends approximately two and a half hours making us deeply suspicious of anyone wearing a police uniform.
Oh, and there's the T-1000.
More than 35 years later, those liquid-metal effects still look ridiculously good.
We’re talking about:
- Arnold's switch from villain to protector
- Linda Hamilton's incredible transformation as Sarah Connor
- The T-1000 and the visual effects that changed movies
- John Connor's extremely '90s existence
- Guns N' Roses, motorcycles, malls, and arcade games
- The absolutely massive action sequences
- Why one little thumbs-up emotionally destroyed an entire generation
- And whether Terminator 2 still deserves its reputation as one of the greatest sequels ever made
Plus, we'll dig into the behind-the-scenes stories, weird trivia, things we completely forgot about the movie, and all the little details you only notice when you revisit it decades later.
So grab your VHS tape, your leather jacket, and preferably something other than a Cyberdyne Systems CPU.
