Terminator II's biggest plot hole:

[SMillard]

I still don't understand how arnold is a bad guy in #1, and then a good guy in #2. And then he goes to mars to give them oxygen.

Between 1 and 2 he had to go to central America with Apollo Creed which had a big impact on his view of things. After 2 he got that job as a kindergarten teacher and met his long lost twin, the guy went through something of an epiphany that motivated him to get his ass to Mars

Took 19 years bro. Patience of a hero

It took 19 years to dig the tunnel, not to break the pipe.

surprisingly cast iron pipes like that are easier to break than people think. I've actually seen laborers break them with rocks, especially at a coupling or elbow, it wasn't a fast action but they did it quicker than the time it would take them to go to the truck and get the hammer.

Also haven't you seen all those adds for class action lawsuits for the corroded pipes?

It always bugged me that the Terminator hid in the cop car crash ... who cares if his cover is blown, it's still the easiest time to kill her ... not by storming the cop headquarters later

you know what bothered me leading up to that scene?

the car chase. at one point reese comes to a complete stop and reverses back into the terminator and then goes back in drive.

i feel like its bad flow to ever stop a car chase scene by bring a vehicle to a complete stop and putting it in reverse. there is another movie where i noticed them doing this and it always bothers me.

I never liked how T-1000 gets way too close with the helicopter, should have been smart enough to consider that T-800 would break

If T-800 is stupider and came up with that, the smarter T-1000 should have been more careful.

I thought it was a clay pipe.

Lol'd at "I can't, it's a Geo!!!"

Not a hole. Just a way to get the upper hand on the 1000, and lessening the conflict, in a movie that is fueled by conflict.

T-800 is a smart enough robot that he should know not to tip off the guy after him

Hanging up the phone immediately let's T-1000 know to resume the hunt

Bigger plot hole is Andy in Shawshank busting out of jail through a iron pipe with a rock.

Agreed pipes like that never break they last for a lifetime. Makes no sense that he could break a really old pipe with a big rock those pipes are indestructible for life.

I clearly missed something, what are we referencing with pipes???

 

[SMillard]

I thought it was a clay pipe.

Actually it could have been. Good point. Either way, a rock could do it. Clay would be preferable because shattered cast iron is a pain in the ass because of the sharp edges. I had the bright idea to replace an old cast iron tub, it wasn't so bad except that I had to buy burlap bags to carry the broken pieces of the tub out because the plastic bags were just getting shredded and had to keep them light enough that I could carry away from me, damn things were slicing me up about as bad as anything I've ever dealt with before.

Oh you guys changed movies on me

 

[SMillard]

Andy was Sarah Connor's grandfather, after he broke out of jail he changed his last name to Connor.


Based on that, all the T 800 had to do was protect Boggs and all his work would have been done for him.

That's a social trait, which we all know the t800 lacks. There was a whole scene where Jon Connor tried to teach him to fit in, and he didn't fully comprehend.

 

[Deleted member 110072]

Cease to exist maybe?

T800s were designed to infiltrate human resistance camps. No Connor, no resistance, no need for t800

That is one obvious plothole, T-800's are actually infiltration units so them all looking like Arnie doesn't make any sense, indeed we see a flashback to another one with reese were Sarah's picture burns who doesn't.

 

[OverCoronavirus Pressure]

I wish a different kid had been cast.
I can hear his squeaky voice in my head and haven't seen the film in a decade at least.
"She's gonna blow him away!!"

Also, melodramatic script is heavy handed. She's a tortured woman filled with a sense of terrible purpose. Do you get it?

John Connor is a special child of destiny and is the Christ figure, through whom mankind will find its redemption. Do you get it?

The future is in motion and can't be averted. Or maybe it can. Do you get it?

 

[minute bull]

Arnie speaking like John was funny

Edward Furlong's face is like, "Wait. If you can mimick my voice, how come you're shit at all the sayings I've been teaching you? And don't get me started on your default accent."

Social trait or not, he should have known that he blew his cover and that was a bad thing.

He could have said "Ok I'll be over soon stay there" before hanging up
