John Connor: We got company!
Sarah Connor: Police?
Miles Dyson: How many?
John Connor: All of them, I think.
#Terminator 2 Rewatch
Again Brad Fiedel’s score is perfect for this movie. The opening theme remembers the roots of the first film and there are echoes throughout but mostly it remains an understated affair
Miles daughter’s a heavy sleeper, while Danny’s out playing with his monster truck she’s already been sent to bed and missed out on the attempted assassination and un-silenced gunshots in the living room.
Or possibly cowering under her bed.
Even her dad forgot about her “Just take Danny and run!”
Maybe it’s like home alone, she’ll wake up, find the house trashed and the family gone.
Sarah’s nightmare is still potent all these years later, part of it being some of the shots are very much remakes of the 1950s nuclear test footage. Sarah herself, her scream her body is still extremely well crafted
THE DOG DOESN’T BARK AT ARNIE
Miles’ computer omg it’s the big 5 ½ floppy disks (it should at least be a 3 ½ but it looks like a bigger 5 ½) it doesn’t even have an eject button?! His mouse, his mouse is a giant trackball. And the monitor has tiny knobs
One of the good things in the extended edition is the scene where they pull out the chip to reset it so that he can learn instead of just observe. The confrontation between John and Sarah about his leadership skills is great and it makes more sense that now the Terminator will subsequently try to learn new, subtler things.
most ominous compliment ever.
For this scene they basically had to re-engineer a car that could be driven backwards. The actual driver is hidden in the backseat, with a mask over most of his head to make him blend in with the seat.
