So listen, I don’t know if you’ve watched Terminator 2 yet, but I’m going to very strongly suggest the “Special Edition.” Not, and I repeat, NOT the “ultimate edition.” The Special Edition is the only extended edition approved by James Cameron, and it also has the theatrical ending which is the best ending.

Another 'Jaxerrific" reaction (I'm still working on copyrighting that)! There's a total continuity error after the "I'll be back" line where we see the cop at the desk look up as headlights from the car shine on him, but then when they cut to the car crashing into the station the headlights aren't even on. Oops! I'll also add to the comments saying that you have to watch T2, but you can stop after that. However, between this film and T2 - and "Aliens", another fanstastic sequel - Cameron wrote and directed "The Abyss" which also co-stars Michael Biehn (Mr. Reese's Pieces) and is one of Cameron's most under appreciated films (I think, is that right?). Incredible action/suspense/sci-fi and absolutely amazing underwater cinematography. Not the most fun shoot since he kinda almost killed some of the cast and a few of them refused to ever work with him again (and won't even talk about the making of the film), but it's great - not perfect - but fantastic sequences, including one that still makes me super emotional whenever I see it. If you do watch/react to it, watch the director's cut.
