<p>This Friday, Terminator 2: Judgment Day will be rumbling into theaters once again, remastered for the 21st century.

This isn't going to work." That's what initially crossed Arnold Schwarzenegger</a>'s mind after reading James Cameron's script for Terminator 2: Judgment Day. </p><p>Apparently, Arnold had some reservations about suddenly being cast as "the good guy" after masterfully being such a badass bad guy</a> in The Terminator</a>. Fortunately, Cameron was able to convince Schwarzenegger that fans of the original killing machine would embrace his new role. And of course that's exactly what they did, as <i>T2</i> received overwhelming positive reviews by critics and fans alike. It's rare that a sequel surpasses the original in quality and appeal, but many would argue Terminator 2: Judgment Day did just that. </p><p>[RELATED1]</p><p>"They'll never see it coming.
