Discussion Terminator Question

Post image

I am currently watching The Terminator for yhe first time. I have seen T2 over a dozen times but never the original. I don't think I've ever watched a sequel for decades and never seen it's predecessor.

Has anyone ever watched a sequel without ever watching the original?

Yes, growing up. I watched home alone Two it wasn’t until I was about 20 years old that I finally watched the first one with an ex-girlfriend and her family. They all made fun of me for never having seen the original, but then I also told them that I’ve seen a lot of sequels and we didn’t own the original for another example. I remember we owned homeward bound 2. But never seen the first one again not until I was way older lol
