Was a great movie. I saw it in theatres when I was a kid, and yeah, it's my favourite of the series.

Aside from everything else it was a precursor for, this movie was the very first one that nailed CGI as a good enough reality. There's not a single glitch, or a "this could've been done better".
I chuckle at the idea that "The Lawnmower Man" was made an year later. Check what passed for CGI in that one

Okay, now I feel old...
Nah, Aliens was better than the original. Game over man, game over!
Well, here's the beginning of the movie happening in real time, with the AI right along with it:

Oh boy, the movie now looks like a prediction coming true. Great, just great.
For example:

You forgot to say please!
"Come with me if you want to live"
I was very young when my sister played all of her rated R movies including this one in the early 1990's with no supervision when I'd visit her. However, I really enjoyed these Terminators & back to the future. I remember the Kevin bacon movie too where the weird giant worms come up from the ground.
Here's another few that I shouldn't have been watching. No where to run (Jean-Claude Van damme), The Fly (Jeff Goldblum), & some others like Lawnmower Man (Jeff Fahey).
I heard Terminator 7 may happen?

I think T2 was a better movie than T2. There is humor, great story telling and of course great special effects. I think it did a great job at completing the story from the first movie while being totally original, which is something people like. And that’s why the following terminator movies were a total flop. There was nothing more or original to add, it was a T2 formula packaged differently.
The first one, just like with the Alien, is dark, gritty and the story telling is more mysterious, which was probably done by design by Cameron.

Yep, that's right. Thanks
It’s funny how everyone loved Robocop and Terminator but if you go back Robocop feels like the Temu terminator even though it’s a fun bit of over the top 80’s violence nonsense.
Robocop=Temu terminator... Too funny
Best line in Tremors; Someone asks Burt Gummer why he has cannon fuse. I knew the answer to that and managed to answer before Burt, "For the cannon."
I could never decide exactly what the firearm Burt finished off the rec room invader with was. Either a 4 bore or 2 bore elephant gun.
I'm still waiting for my flying taxi cab like back to the future part 2. Supposedly in 2015.
