A “monumental monument” that still continues to influence subsequent works.
There is an established theory that ``the second work in a series is the most interesting.'' " Indiana Jones " (84), " The Godfather Part II " (74), " Spider-Man 2 " (04), " The Dark Knight " (08), " Captain America: The Winter Soldier " (14) ...And then there's the well-known masterpiece of the century, ``Terminator 2: Judgment Day'' (1991).
`` Terminator 2: Judgment Day '', which was made approximately seven years after the previous film `` The Terminator '' (1984), had such a huge impact on the world that it would be too easy to describe it as a social phenomenon. This work appears among recently released works such as ` `HOT SUMMER NIGHTS '' (18) and `` Zombieland: Double Tap '' (19).
In the former, the film is shown during a drive-in theater scene, which is used as a way to indicate the setting in the early 90s, making it clear that it is an icon of the era. In the latter, a scene is drawn in which a new type of Dawn of the Dead that is difficult to defeat is compared to The Terminator. It's a masterpiece that everyone can't help but love, and the name of this work is etched in people's memories as a definition.
Its popularity is also reflected in the numbers. Terminator 2: Judgment Day cost $100 million to make, a huge jump from the previous film's $6.4 million. It was an explosive hit, grossing approximately $520 million at the worldwide box office. It also topped the worldwide box office that year. By the way, 2nd place goes to `` Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves ,'' 3rd place goes to `` Beauty and the Beast ,'' 4th place goes to `` Hook ,'' and 5th place goes to ``The Silence The Silence of the Lambs .'' The film's sales were amazing, surpassing the box office revenue of its predecessor in just four days.
In Japan, the distribution revenue was 5.75 billion yen, about 10 times that of the previous work (530 million yen). It also won first place. The runners-up were `` Home Alone ,'' ` `Pretty Woman ,'' `` Total Recall ,'' and `` Omohideporoporo .''
At the 64th Academy Awards, it was nominated for six awards, winning four of them: Best Makeup, Best Visual Effects, Best Sound, and Best Sound Editing. This year's real rivals were `` Backdraft '' and `` JFK ,'' and ``JFK'' won the cinematography and editing awards that this film was unable to win.
Edward Furlong, the handsome boy who played John, the son of the heroine Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton), was so popular that he even appeared in a commercial in Japan. As a side note, during the approximately 6 months of filming, his voice changed, and as he had grown taller, he had to re-record just his voice, had to squat down to make his height consistent, and had to make his bike bigger, all of which he had to endure in secret.
Robert Patrick, who became a big hit with his role as the most powerful enemy, the T-1000, was chosen by director James Cameron after watching Die Hard 2 (1990). He has appeared in recent films such as ` `LA Gang Story '' (13), which was directed by Ruben Fleischer, who also worked on ``Zombieland: Double Tap''.
