So a few months back we did an episode of Things You Didn't Know about
The Terminator.
And at the end of that episode, this happened.
So hit the thumbs up if you want us to do a part two.
(Sound) After that this happened.
(Sound) And then this happened.
(Noise) Gee, I guess we should probably make good on our promise then.
Here are Seven More Things You Didn't Know about The Terminator, probably.
(Sound) By now we've seen Nick Stahl,
Christian Bale, and Thomas Dekker all step into the role of John Connor.
And soon enough we'll see Jason Clark take it over.
But for a lot of us young Eddie Furlong will always be the real John Connor.
Just like Michael Keaton is the real Batman, sorry, separate discussion.
What most people is tweenage Eddie Furlong's voice change during the five
months of shooting Terminator 2.
You can hear his voice cracking on this line.
>> Put the gun down now!
>> Because Furlong's voice
had fully changed by the end of the shoot.
They had to go back and remove his performance for
the whole first half of the movie, to make sure it was consistent throughout.
You can hear his non-dubbed voice here in this scene.
>> Why do you cry?
>> I don't know, I just cry,
you know, when it hurts. >> Director James Cameron
decided not to loop his voice in this scene because he felt it
worked better if John Connor sounded young and more vulnerable in the moment.
Just a sweet, young boy hanging out with his killing machine that time traveled
from the future to thwart the apocalypse.
(Bleep) >> Super wholesome.
(Sound) Arnold is the Terminator and the Terminator is Arnold.
But before we had the iconic movies, and sunglasses and leather.
Back when The Terminator was just a script and some concept art,
the filmmakers had to figure out who should play this critical role.
And most people don't know that one of the names brought up as a possible Terminator
was OJ Simpson.
(Sound) What?
Was Robert Blake unavailable or something?
Boom!
Next thing.
(Sound) Sticking with the first Terminator for a second,
let's talk about this super badass smoke wafting off of Arnold in this scene.
Know how they achieved that smoke?
By pouring acid on him, yep, real acid.
According to the filmmakers it was a quote mild acid that they used to get the T800
to smoke.
But Arnold still wondered if there was some other way that they
could have achieved this effect and honestly, I don't blame him.
(Sound) Here is another bad ass thing that Arnold did for
the sake of the film this time in Terminator 2.
That stunt is 100% real, no safety wires, no nothing.
In retrospect James Cameron confesses that he would never do this stunt that way
today because it's so freaking dangerous.
Besides Arnold might break a hip or something if they do that now.
(Sound) As long as we're talking about how actors put their balls on the line to
make these movies.
Let's talk about Linda Hamilton putting her lady balls on the In this elevator
scene from Terminator 2 she suffered permanent hearing loss in one of her ears.
(Noise) While they were filming she went to the bathroom between takes and
removed her ear plugs.
Then she forgot to put them back in and went back to finish the scene.
Problem was Arnold was firing a 10 gauge shotgun in a freaking elevator which is
too loud for any mere mortals' ears.
And unfortunately too loud for Linda Hamilton too.
Arnold Schwarzenegger's stilted delivery works perfectly for
the Terminator, since he's a robot after all.
Or a cybernetic organism, I guess I should say, so
the nerds don't flip their (Bleep) in the comments section.
Anyway in this scene Arnold's delivery might seem a touch more robotic.
>> All stealth bombers
are upgraded with cyber then computers become fully unmanned.
>> That's because he's
reading his dialogue, it's taped to the windshield of the car.
James Cameron was cool with Arnold reading his lines because he felt like
the delivery still worked.
But let's give Arnold the benefit of the doubt and assume he didn't also need cue
cards just to remember, I'll be back. >> I'll be back.
>> He did manage to get elected governor
after all.
(Sound) Let's wrap this up with a thing about a chase scene?
Right here when they're in the cop car it actually took a lot of movie magic to
get the shots they needed.
For one, Arnold isn't even the one driving a car.
There's a stunt guy in the backseat driving the car backwards
which sounds incredibly hard.
You can kind of see his head in the back window right here.
But, he's not the only guy hiding in the back of the car.
James Cameron is also in the back doing some hand-held camera operating for
these shots of the characters inside of the car.
Sounds super uncomfortable.
But, you know, they don't pay old Jimmie Cams the big bucks for
nothing, am I right?
(Sound) If you like this video, then like this video,
and share it with all your friends, and enemies, too.
We don't care, a deal is a deal, and you never know.
Maybe I'll be back with more Terminator Things You Didn't Know,
that was awful, I'm sorry.
You know what, I' going to wrap this up and get out of here, thanks for watching.
