10 Greatest Movie Extra Performances Ever
4. The Surprised Barmaid - Terminator 2: Judgment Day
James Cameron has always had a knack for picking memorable extras, and perhaps the most canny selection of his entire filmography appears in one of Terminator 2's establishing scenes.
When the new T-800 (Arnold Schwarzenegger) arrives in the present day and hits up a seedy bar to acquire clothes and transportation, it scans all of the bar's patrons and staff to find someone of a comparative size whose clothes it can take.
In one hilarious moment, it scans a waitress who is clearly both startled and a little excited by the presence of the naked "man."
She gives the T-800 a lingering stare down from top to bottom, before smirking at the machine and letting out an intrigued hum.
A great background player can provide that little extra something to punctuate a scene, and that's absolutely the case here.
