Robert Patrick, "T2" and Blinking


For "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" (1991), Robert Patrick learned how to fire a gun without blinking, to prepare for his role as the T-1000, a killer robot.

πŸŽ₯ 4 shots
πŸ€– 16 rounds
πŸ‘ 1 blink

The GIF at the top of this post is real-time, as it was seen in the film. If It Were Made Today™: would still have Patrick train to fire the weapon without blinking; the one blink in this sequence could be digitally painted out by a talented paint artist.

Todd: I read that they did correct his slight limp in the motion capture data

Fast Astra: most actors don't even bother learning not to flinch
