Focus on “Terminator 2”, directed by James Cameron in 1991 and carried by Arnold Schwarzenegger, who here signs one of the most legendary performances of his entire career.
Twelve years after sending the first Terminator into the past to assassinate Sarah Connor, supposed to give birth to the future leader of the human resistance against artificial intelligence, the machines do it again. This time they send a new cyborg – the formidable T-1000 – in pursuit of John Connor, Sarah’s son.
The latter, who is therefore destined to lead humanity against the robots, is for the moment a rebellious young boy, living in 1995 and collecting bad things to the great dismay of his adoptive parents. To protect him from the threat hovering over him, another Terminator, captured and reprogrammed by humans in the future, is sent to his rescue.
Schwarzy’s best film
Considered by AlloCiné Internet users as the best film in Arnold Schwarzenegger’s entire career (4,262 stars out of 5), Terminator 2 indeed offers the famous action hero of Austrian origin one of his most striking and emblematic roles.
Even if he only speaks a total of 700 words in the entire film (compared to only 58 words in the first part), his charisma and his presence, combined with the writing of a particularly inspired James Cameron, allow him to make his performance unforgettable.
Columbia TriStar Film
A sci-fi classic
This second part, signed by the future director of Titanic and Avatar seven years after the first Terminator, is often the one that fans of the saga prefer… by far.
Among the memorable moments of the feature film (which can easily be presented as a science fiction classic), let us mention, for example, the muscular escape from the psychiatric asylum, the motorcycle and shotgun chase at the beginning of the film , or the one where we can see a helicopter passing under a bridge (a stunt performed without trickery!).
