Arnold Schwarzenegger's Top 20 Greatest Action Scenes

18. Terminator 2 - Hasta La Vista Baby

Everything had been ramped up by Cameron for the sequel to his 1984 sci-fi classic. A bigger story, a new unstoppable villain and more explosive action. It became the highest grossing film of 1991 and Tri-Star Pictures highest grossing film to date. I don't think I need to say too much about the plot as I'm sure every man and their dog has seen the film but for anyone who hasn't, Schwarzenegger reprises his role as the cyborg from the future but instead of trying to wipe out John Conner, he is programed to protect him. His nemesis is another Terminator, the T1000 played by a menacing Robert Patrick who is liquid metal and can assume the shape of anyone it touches. In this scene, we got the ''Hasta La Vista Baby'' catchphrase that everyone was saying in 1992 and became nearly became as big as ''I'll be back!'' You also get the awesome shot of Schwarzenegger shooting point blank range at the T-1000 and surfing the truck into the steel mill. Awesome! http://youtu.be/tXhbm4IXdsE
