The relentless ending to Terminator 2: Judgment Day still stays in the memory nearly 20 years on from its 1991 release. The T-800 (played by Arnold Schwarzenegger) and T-1000 (Robert Patrick, in a role he’s unlikely to better) have gone toe-to-toe throughout the film, and the climax plays out in the warehouse scene in which Cameron once again juxtaposes the increasing role of machinery in our lives with his characters’ quests to either save humanity or discover their own. The sequence (which starts approximately 1:40 into the above trailer) is exhilarating, and it ends on a sentimental note, with a rare profound remark from Arnie: “Now I know why you cry.”
