Instinctively? No. This is LA, it was learned behaviour. Learned for a reason.

Shit I thought it were a disco.
Instinctually achtually. /j
He played it off too. Then he tried to stall T-1000 when he eventually spotted John by saying “hey I think I saw that kid you were looking for.” That’s a homie right there
Tells the cop he doesn’t know the person they’re looking for…then immediately walks directly to his friend and points directly at the cop
He’s a homie not James fucking Bond.
They can lie to you = you can lie to them
I just rewatched this a couple months ago. Now I want to watch it again. T2 is one of the all-time greats of cinema history. Arny is awesome in the role, the story is excellent, the directing is perfect. Edward will forever be John Connor with every other actor doing their best to fit his character, because that’s John.
It upsets me so much that the marketing of the film ruined what would have been one of the greatest twists in film history. Until the scene in the hallway when the Terminator and John meet, there’s no indication that Arnie is the good guy. The audience would have expected him to be the villain like in the previous film, and we all would have been blown away.
But the studio chose to push the “Arnie is the good guy now” stuff in the marketing and robbed us of that surprise.
Also Robert Patrick did so well in the role for the T-1000. He nailed like uncanny valley of the machine being so close to human and then completely inhuman at a moments notice, and his practice on sprinting and firing a weapon without blinking, and only breathing through his nose is something that you don’t notice because it’s what you’d expect a machine to do, and then only looking back do you realize that yeah, he’s sprinting full speed at a car with his mouth closed without blinking.
Yes! Both terminators were so weirdly inhuman without being inhuman. And it was the 1980s and they just kind of nailed that with total realism that had no reason for being as good as it was.
It was like a new chapter of sci-fi really leaning into the realistic expectations of the future instead of the fantastical versions. It’s the same reason why Bladerunner was so good and stood the test of time. No bullshit interpretation. Just, “Everyone calm down about your ideas of the future. What would actually happen? How would this thing actually be if it really happened?”
I love the story that Arnold got the part as the terminator when he sat down with the director and nerded out so hard about details about what the terminator would not do that a common human would do, so much that the director couldn’t think of a better person for the role, despite Arny traditionally doing hero roles.
As Patrick explained in the Empire interview, the first time they filmed the run at the mall, before the semi-truck sequence, he closed the gap on Furlong entirely. His own words, included in the viral clip: “That’s me. First time I did the run, I caught the kid.
James Cameron confirms, BUT, he says it happened when the bike was pulled by the camera car:
He runs so fucking fast it’s scary in its own 😰😮
I’d say he doesn’t get the credit he deserves, but he does. He absolutely does. He put in the work to gift us the T-1000. And we should all be thankful.
I work with a John Connor and I always reference him as the saviour of the human race. He’s a pretty good sport about it.
Bobby budnick aint no snitch
it’s all of the cameras snitching on you now
Rise of the machines indeed
Such a great film.
Polyalloy humanoid from the future can’t read elevated heart rate, surface moisture and dilated pupils. Lol
It ain’t that kid’s first time lying to the cops. He’s done it enough to be confident this will be fine. I mean, even if he gets caught, what are they going to do?
Yeah, Bobby Budnick knows how to tell a convincing lie. He learned it at summer camp.
“When cops ask me questions, it makes me wanna fart!”
With this comment and this username, I can tell that you are a person of excellent taste.
Hack the planet!
And salute your shorts!
That’s why I never leave the house without a thumbtack in my shoe. Never know when you’re gonna need to lie to a terminator.
Unlike deceiving your fellow man, lying to cops grants a sense of peace and rightness. Trying to tell them the truth is what makes people nervous, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law after all
Thats why lying to the cops is one of Buddha’s four tasks to enlightenment.
Omg please give source pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease
I need this info on my life. If it’s a joke, I won’t be disappointed too bad, but God, I am praying it isn’t
Skynet forgot to push that OTA update before sending the robot
Moisture sensors have chemicals, moving parts - it doesn’t work that way.
NEVER talk to the cops.
If you have a problem and call the cops, now you have two problems.
Right, don’t lie to a cop. Talk is the key word here. Lying to a cop could get you charged and arrested with obstruction because you lead them down a wild goose chase. Saying I don’t know or no comment is using your constitutional right. If you’re going to lie, lie about something that cannot be proved in court.
I go Tyrone, 1 2 3 4 FIF!
I haven’t watched it in probably 20 years. Past time for a rewatch, which is good, because there’s nothing on TV ATM.
Holds up but it’s eeriely unpopulated by today’s standards.
The mall is the only scene that really has extras.
Most of the film has like 4 people in frame, max. After awhile it becomes a little distracting.
It’s gotta be an absolute mind fuck for John when he eventually meets his best friend in the future and realizes he has to send his buddy back in time to fuck his mom so he can be conceived.
John Connors mom has got it goin on…
I know this was a popular myth I liked to discuss when I was 15, but in one of the later movies John selects someone else to fuck his mum instead.
Folks don’t like folks who talk about other terminator movies 'round these parts.
Fair enough. We can still talk about Prometheus though right ?
Only if it is about running away from things in the dumbest way possible. Oh and scientists are the dumbest people in the galaxy. God, that fucking movie irritated the shit out of me for being quintessentially stupidity-driven-plot
There’s a reason why some scientists are field researchers and some are lab rats.
Some times, scientists can really be stupid. More so when they’re in high stress uncontrolled environments.
I have very unsophisticated tastes.
Also really like rapace and would happily watch her run away from whatever in the dumbest way.
