Epatha Merkerson (playing his wife) add much with their limited screentime. And let's not forget Joe Morton's heartbreaking side plot as Dyson, the creator of Skynet. There’s a rawness to the first two movies, but it's in T2 where Hamilton’s “mother of the future” turn really gets fleshed out. Hamilton and Furlong won at both the Saturn Awards and the MTV Movie Awards, for example. In addition to its countless technical achievement accolades at awards shows, the film's principal actors were also recognized for their performances. Gaerren appears in a couple of other scenes in the film as well, such as Sarah's nuclear explosion nightmare. In actuality, Terminator 2 simply employed the services of Linda Hamilton's identical twin sister Leslie Hamilton Gearren to play the imitation Sarah. Both Sarahs are onscreen at the same time for a bit, and contrary to what might seem obvious, no special effects were used. The real Sarah ultimately puts a shotgun blast through the T-1000's body. ![]() At one point during the final battle in the steel mill, the T-1000 imitates Sarah to lure in his target John. Ironically, one of the film's best effects was achieved without any sort of CGI. Related: 10 Best Action Films from the '80, Ranked It's nothing! On Avatar, there were probably 2800." There are only 42 CG shots in the whole film. Today we'd do all that CG, but then it was actual, practical effects, like the head-splitting open, things like that. So, Stan Winston did a lot of the gags and wounds opening on the body. "And it was in that transitional space between full rubber prosthetic make-up and full CG, because we are much closer to full CG today, but we were in that period where we were still mixing and matching. Would it be better today? Yes, it would be a little bit better, but it wouldn't be so much better that it would be noticeable to anybody but other effects people, I would think," said Cameron in an interview with. The movie's dazzling effects are highlighted among the two car chases, a helicopter crash, an epic police shootout and a chemical truck collision at a steel mill as the T-1000 does everything it can to destroy Connor, who's also protected by his mom Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton reprising her role). ![]() The T-1000 is made of “memetic poly-alloy,” a liquid metal allowing it to change its shape at will to mimic any human it comes into contact with and turns its limbs into bodacious bladed weaponry. T2's premise is set 13 years after the events of the original flick and leans on a reprogrammed T-800 (Schwarzenegger) sent back in time to protect an adolescent John Connor (Edward Furlong) from another cybernetic assassin, the hyper-advanced T-1000 (Robert Patrick). The sequel is a rare instance where a second installment arguably surpasses the original other instances include The Godfather and the Alien franchise (but both have been heavily debated). T2 - as it became known to the world thanks to a successful marketing campaign - is one of just a handful of films that changed the world of visual effects forever. ![]()
