Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991)








Most say Godfather Part II.  I say Terminator 2.  Arnold Schwarzenegger said he'd be back and he wasn't kidding, although this time as a protector.  While most sequels are usually watered down, T2 delivers on all fronts - the incredible Oscar-winning visual effects, the non-stop action, the score, cinematography, even Arnold's acting.

  2. I used to live in Northridge. It all still looks pretty much as I remember. If I recall, they edited together footage from 3 different malls: Northridge Fashion Square Mall, Santa Monica Place, and the Sherman Oaks Galleria(?). I could be wrong... Maybe I'm thinking of Arnold in "Commando." Been a long time! Ha! Great pics! Thanks for the memories! Kev

  3. Conner makes his left turn in the Bull Creek at 16539 Superior St Northridge, CA, not Wilbur St (that's a different canal, albeit a very similar one).
