For context, this is from terminator 2 where the protagonist is saved by his best friend in the first 30 min of the film by lying to a terminator cyborg from the future posing as a cop.

It's one of those movies that has had a cultural impact for decades after release. If you did watch it today you'd probably be surprised how many scenes you're familiar with from various media it's influenced and been parodied in since release.
Or maybe not. Cultural landscape has changed so much there isn't really a monoculture that can refer back to previous highlights/milestones within itself.
If you didn't catch the end of that time it may all be lost to you. Which doesn't matter, but the first two terminator movies are really good if you're into that kind of rhing. James Cameron before Titanic and Avatar.
Someone talked about seeing 'The Sting' for the first time. They couldn't believe that anyone in the audience didn't know all those cons, then realized that when the movie was made, all those gags were fresh.
