For context, this is from terminator 2 where the protagonist is saved by his best friend in the first 30 min of the film by lying to a terminator cyborg from the future posing as a cop.

    I’m genuinely curious If any of you didn’t immediately know the context from this screenshot.

    there must be someone, but it’s such an iconic movie that I’m curious if there is anyone who recognize it immediately.

      Of course some people didn’t? It’s over thirty years old.

      Edit: to put it into perspective, the movie’s release is closer to the breakup of the Beatles than to the present day.

        I saw it in the theatres and didn’t get the context because it has been literal decades since I last watched it.

      I did, but then my family had this movie on VHS when I was younger and I’ve probably watched it like 100 times. It came on TV once when I was on the phone with my friend and I quoted all the lines just ahead of the TV. I bet that annoyed the shit out of her.

      That’s a good question and easy to answer, so I’ll try: Anyone who didn’t see the movie, does not remember this scene. Glad I could help.

      Looks like any of hundreds of movies from that time. It’s been literal decades since I saw it, I was probably the same age my daughter is now. Once I read the reference I realized that I do recognize T1000, but I definitely don’t remember that kid.

      I’ve seen the movie ages ago, didn’t remember this scene at all.

      However, I recognized the T1000 actor immediately, so I knew it was from one of the terminator sequels, but not even immediately T2.
