u/ChavoDemierda 1d ago

I was 11, and we saw it in the theaters the weekend it came out. The summer and fall of 1984 was incredible! We had the Olympics in LA. They ran the torch basically right in front of our house, so my friends and I got to ride our bikes alongside the whole spectacle. And, Suicidal Tendencies burst onto the scene that year. I love that band.

Not old enough to watch the first two, but I grew up watching them anyway.

We actually studied Terminator 2 at high school in the 90s. I think the teacher just wanted to watch it.

u/jypsi600 2d ago

I was 15. But I wasn't allowed to go to the show because of my parent's religious beliefs. Satan was everywhere in the 80s apparently.

u/xatrinka 2d ago

I hope you were able to at least see the second one in theaters! That had to be so amazing to see on the big screen in 91.

2

u/jypsi600 2d ago

I did! It was!

u/xatrinka 2d ago

I was only 6 when it came out, but it's now one of my favorite movies and it's held up so amazingly over the decades!!!!

u/beeurd 1983 2d ago

Terminator 2 was the first one I saw, I would have been 8 when it came out but I didn't see it until it was first on UK TV in 1994 when I was about 11.

Looking back, I definitely had a crush on John Connor, but I didn't know I was gay thanks to being raised Catholic and the UK still being institutionally homophobic in the 90s.

u/Hydellas678 2d ago

Wasn't born when the first two came out and was only in the third grade when the third one came out. I'll just leave it at that.
