Action Hero: Sarah Connor & T800-101

We are The Last Action Heroes, a mini gun toting, motorbike riding, unstoppable killing machine of a movie podcast on a mission to rate the very best and worst of action cinema protagonists from across the ages.

In our first episode of season 3 we decided there’s no fate but what we make for ourselves so we travelled back in time from the future war to warn the world about TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY! (1991)

Wait..y’all have seen it!!?? Well then you know what we’re taking about when we say it’s an absolute banger!!!!

In 1992 Los Angeles, future war hero and all round saviour dude John Connor is marked for termination by the T1000: a shapeshifting liquid metal killing machine sent back through time. Luckily future John remembered his prepubescent years (and what a horrible time that was) and sent back another terminator to act as his protector: the iconic T800. Together with Johns mother SARAH CONNOR, the survivor of a previous termination attempt (and plagued by dreams of the worst BBQ party ever!), this unlikely family unit decide to fight back against the threat of the future and change the course of history.

A woman suffering severe PTSD and a killer robot may not seem like the basis for great action heroes but what unfolds is often heralded as one of the greatest action movies of all time. Each of our heroes certainly has more than their moment to shine but how will they hold up in our ultimate action hero showdown?
