Arnold Shwarzenegger


Terminator 2

One of the few sequels that is as good, if not better, than the original. Schwarzenegger returns this time as one of the good guys and with a new catchphrase - 'Hasta la vista, baby!'.

Linda Hamilton gets impressively pumped up to play a mother who'll do anything to protect her son who is destined to save the human race in the apocalypse of the future.

The film introduced the use of 'morphing' - a technique also seen in Michael Jackson's music video Black or White (also 1991). At the time it seemed miraculous but nowadays most people can do the same things on their home PC.
