TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY (1991) | James Cameron, Part IV

<p>After the underwhelming critical and commercial response to <a href='https://www.cinemashock.net/episodes/theabyss'>THE ABYSS</a>, James Cameron knew that he had to get moving on his next project as soon as possible. As fate would have it, the executives at Carolco — who’d recently produced films like RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD PART II and <a href='https://www.cinemashock.net/episodes/total-recall'>TOTAL RECALL</a> — had acquired the rights to the <a href='https://www.cinemashock.net/episodes/theterminator'>TERMINATOR</a> franchise, at great expense, and asked Cameron to write and direct a sequel.</p> <p>In this episode, we’ll trace the production of TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY, from those early, chaotic days of development, through the time of its release, when it became one of the biggest films of all time.</p> <p>Theme Song: "There's Still a Little Bit of Time, If We Hurry and I Mean Hurry" by <a href='https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwj8487dns3rAhXut1kKHWjpBtIQFjAAegQIBRAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fslasherfilmfestivalstrategy.bandcamp.com%2F&usg=AOvVaw3qXZCJdUiLORfY6MbQrpo5'>Slasher Film Festival Strategy</a>.</p> <p>This episode was written, produced and edited by Gary Horne, Justin Bishop, and Todd A.
