Your camera skills really suck....

[robertdepuniet]

wooooooooooooooowww!!!

[vans1107]

pretty cool that you were able to get up that close to film all this stuff after they were done shooting..

[DangerousMuzic]

My Favourite Movie xD

[Viz731]

So what did you think when you watched the movie a year later and saw the scene with this in it?

[DEFkon001]

Wow, what a great time capsule video! Thanks for the upload. Love to know what kind of camera this was filmed with. The zoom on it is pretty impressive.

[CBRYDR]

Talk about retro...Retro police cars, retro video quality, even retro Nor Cal accents...HAHA...pretty sick though....err....I mean radical!

[1xDannyHey1x]

i was only 2 years old im glad u kept this footage

[VWFringe]

I was there, three blocks away, when they blew it up - large crowd

thanks for posting this, i've alwasy felt a special connection to this film from being in the crowds that week (standing out all night with a head cold and flu).

Odd, how i feel like a part of this for just watching it, but i wasn't

This location was in use during the Christmas shopping season. Arnold did some shopping at Macys (New Park Mall) where I had a seasonal job as a college student. I was kneeling on the floor, sorting boxes, when these expensive looking ostrich cowboy boots stepped into view. I peered upwards and it's Arnold. I stood up to greet him and get out of his way. I asked, "Would you like me to clear these boxes away?" He replied, "Don't bah dah." and went to another department.

how hard is it to hold that massive shoulder mounted VHS camera steady?

[rusbanros]

so cool to see this on home video. I worked there through the entire shoot and while they prepared the building. It was a real treat to see a guy pull up in a BMW and unload the mini-gun from his trunk, then set it up and were firing it so the police could see how far away they could here it. we were standing in the parking lot looking up at the second story window watching everyone take turns firing it. it was an awesome experience to say the least

[TheGirlsStop]

Hard to believe this was 20 years ago now. Before handheld cameras had IS by the looks of it.

[psygn0sis]

I lived in San Jose when this movie was filming. I was at the scene when the T-1000 was chasing them on the freeway in the truck full of liquid nitrogen and the terminator was in the little brown truck.

I don't remember what freeway it was but it went right by the old IBM building.

[TServo2049]

My neighbor is with the Fremont P.D. and remembers when they were doing this.

[kf6vzu]

I've been here. My dad and I collected the spent blanks that we found on the ground. Of course, I was 5 and had no idea what this was, but still, freaking cool!

[Colt2571]

the scene at the bar where Terminator is naked was shot across the street from where Rodney King got his ass handed to him

[sonbuhitsunei]

Lucky bastard, I wish I could have seen that in person- this must qualify as one of the coolest frickin things you could get on home video. Of course, back when this was being filmed I was a small child, but I still remember seeing the movie in theaters when I was little! T2 is still one of the downright coolest films ever made, mistakes and all, even a few dated effects and continuity errors do not detract.

[Clivef213]

I Love the Terminator Films All Three of them Terminator Salvation was OK but Not Brilliant Preferred Arnold

[Fromzon]

this is SO much better than the CGI tricks of today

[miks510]

one of my favorite scenes from the movie!

does anyone know where exactly in fremont this is at, Warm Springs maybe?

[CHUUMPASS]

[opelcambo]

jedibitch, i see you uploaded this in april 07, only 33 comments so far and approx 8000 views now at feb 2010. this is a awesome video, am i right in saying you the uploader of this video also shot this video on camcorder, is this where you live, how did you know this was at the time to do with the Movie T2? did you have to travel especially or where you just passing? - i am from liverpool uk

[holtrax2009]

back in the days when they didn't use cgi. They should go back to filming like this way more realistic.

[SkemeKOS]

well, they DID have cgi back then but i understand what you mean. they use cgi for EVERYTHING nowadays when its better to not use it if it can be done some other way. i think they had the balance just right back then.

[GuitarHeroPhenomSux]

@holtrax2009, Actually, James Cameron was one of the main guys that forwarded the CGI movement. The Effects in T2 and The Abyss were revolutionary for the time.

[myfordescort]

@holtrax2009 there was cgi used in T2. But most was shot without.

[907tnt]

@holtrax2009 although they were probably one of the earliest to use CGI successfully (T-1000) without it looking corny less is more when it comes to CGI for sure.

[907tnt]

wait how did you know about the specifics of the scene if this was a day after the shooting of the film?

[chessinfantry]

@907tnt your fucking stupid haha!!...moron!!

[joe83alone]

best movie ever!

[countryshmountry]

wow this is awesome

[acyp007]

[mjc12190]

I went there today and wondered why it looked so big in the movie because it is a small building and that's cool how they built another level to blow up.
