While lauded for its incredible early achievements in CGI, the four-time Oscar winning TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY's iconic VFX were achieved through a delicate balance of CGI technology with old-school effects including stunt work, puppetry, makeup, animatronics, prosthetics, and miniatures. A $17 million balance.

James Cameron's groundbreaking sequel TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY screens this Saturday 5 and Monday 7 September for Cult Classics.
