To me as a kid watching those chase seens, there was a certain menacing
precense to the T800 and later T1000 (largely due to their cold robotic
nature and how damn unstoppable they seemed, as in the first movie) that made
it feel darker than a straight up action scene to me. I don't really feel
that these days, but I distinctly recall feeling that was when I was younger.

How old were you when you saw T2? Did you feel the same way back then?
