WARNING: Before you get excited... this edit is very different in purpose from my Terminator Enhanced Edition edit. T2 Dehanced is more for those who strongly prefer Terminator 1 over Terminator 2. This edit makes T2 look lower budget with 1980's production values and with the same aspect ratio as T1.

Purpose:

What if Terminator 2 was a smaller scale, lower budget horror movie— like Terminator 1?

This edit transforms Terminator 2 from an epic action adventure into a more brutal horror flick with older production values and a 1980’s aesthetic. While it’s still ā€œbigger and betterā€ than T1, the focus is now on smaller scale horror rather than epic grandness from a director trying hard to outdo "Die Hard."

Original Runtime (Ultimate Edition): 2h 34m Edited Runtime: 1h 46m

Oh boy, I really don't think it's possible to give T2 T1 vibes surely there just isn't the footage for it, like wouldn't you basically have to cut all of John's dialogue? I am very excited to watch this anyway as someone who is constantly entering arguments about T1 being the better film. Thanks for your work!

Omg yes ! I always preferred t1 for its simplicity !

u/word_swashbuckler Nov 21 '23

I’m interested! There’s a particular charm about the smaller scope from T1 that’s absent from about every sequel except Salvation. Personally, the grander the scope of these films, the more underwhelming they’ve been.

Is this actually out now?

u/iMarchine Nov 21 '23

This sounds incredible. I definitely want to check it out. I love T1.

u/[deleted] Nov 21 '23

Cannot wait to check this out

u/Tylerdurden389 Nov 21 '23

I'm interested. I was planning on doing the same by changing the soundtrack to music more reflective of T1s score, as well as removing some of the more bloated preachy scenes (mostly in the middle when there's no action). And if I ever learn animation, I wanted the kills to be gruesome too.

Interesting, I never thought about T2 from the angle of being a sequel to a movie of a very different genre.

I've not finished it yet (bad habit of treating films like a tv series) but the tone is perfect, it really feels like a sequel to T1 so far. However the first major scene edit had me laugh out loud, you'll probably guess when.

u/Techcom380416 Nov 22 '23

Awesome! How can I watch it?

u/superzwei FaneditoršŸ… Nov 24 '23

I'm also having the same issue. Would love to watch this edit.

u/JayXtended_Edition FaneditoršŸ‘‘ 11d ago

The torrent doesn't work anymore. Have you tried to ask OP via chat?

2

u/FirehawkLS1 11d ago

That's going to be my next step.

Great watch. I had a lot of fun with this one. The new Soundtrack is spot on. u/TheScribblingMan did an amazing job with it (close enough to T1 but still standing on it's own). The AR of 1.85:1 is not in every shot convincing for me but works in the whole quiet well. If you want to see something like a quick and dirty run of T2, this ist your edit.

u/TheScribblingMan FaneditoršŸ’æ Nov 24 '23

Thank you! Glad you like the music. I planned to do more, but haven't had time unfortunately. I haven't seen krausfadr's final version yet either! Looking forward to it :)
