The stunt scenes were rehearsed months in advance. The storm drain sequence was painful for Arnold Schwarzenegger because he couldn't wear a glove while cocking the gun; it would get stuck in the mechanism. He tore the skin from his fingers and hand 100 times before he mastered it, all while riding a Harley and acting at the same time, as well as trying to watch where you're driving while James Cameron is telling you to look at a certain area. He couldn't dart his eyes either because it would have ruined the shot. Shooting the gates also took weeks of practice because he had to act cool too. See more »

This superb sequel surpasses the excellent original in every department and quite simply you won't see a better action film. Set 15 years after the original Arnie may return as the good Terminator trying to protect John Connor but he's a redundant piece of scrap metal compared to the T-1000.
The opening hour and the last half hour is absolutely breathtaking with action sequences that still remain unsurpassed. Their's also a wonderful piece of storytelling 3/4 of the way through where Dyson relises the terrifying consequences of the project he's neglecting his family for.
The performances are memorable particularly Linda Hamilton's Sara Connor and simply put, they'll never make a better action film.
