What was it with Miles Dyson making those strange funny sounding noises before he blew up the building? Did anyone thought those noises were funny? cause i remembered when i was 10 in 1991 seeing the movie in a theater there was a kid sitting next to me giggling at Dyson making those noises.
A question about Terminator 2.

Yeah, the sound of someone desperately gasping their final breaths before death is a real scream.
Quoted for truth. To this day, that scene makes me really uncomfortable... Which means everything about it worked.
Sad scene don't you think? Even when you think about his wife and kid.
Do you think Danny Dyson later became part of the Resistance?

Yes, a man riddled with bullets gasping his last few breaths as he's about to blow himself up and kill some cops is frigging HILARIOUS.
Proof positive that 10 year old kids shouldn't be watching violent, R-rated movies. A lot of them can't even process it in context at that age, hence the "ha-has" at the sounds people make when choking on their own blood.

May you never have to hear a loved one making such noises. Trust me, it's a horrid thing.
He was gasping for air and trying to stay alive.
No.
It was meant to be sad.
In the original script for Terminator: Salvation the character of Barnes was Danny Dyson. It was changed with rewrites. In the season finale of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles it was revealed Danny Dyson was missing so we don't know about in that series (presumed to be working for Skynet in 2009).
He was gasping for air, not making funny noises. You and the other kid were just kids, THAT's why you thought it was funny. I was 21 then, and didn't find it funny. I found it disturbing.
When I was ten, I was the only one in my class who hadn't seen Porkies in a theatre. Multiple times. I saw T2 second day and the screening room was full of children.
And the actor in question pulled off hyper ventilation and death throws in a manner that was disturbingly accurate.
Well there was merchandise aimed at kids you know, remember the merchandise to this movie? i was 10 and i loved this movie, no i didn't find the scene funny but the kid sitting next to me and i was thinking "What the hell is this kids's problem?"
He also didn't kill any cops. The SWAT team successfully evacuated to the lobby just in time to all get knee-capped by Arnie (except for the two dropped by gas canister impacts). The only death besides Dyson at the Cyberdyne battle was the apparent suicide of the helicopter pilot ... whose helicopter crashed several miles away...
I must admit that I did have to suppress a laugh when I saw that scene. Not, I hasten to add, because I found it in any way amusing. It's just that for some reason his gasps struck me as odd, and triggered a release of nervous tension.
I have to wonder why Sarah was so freaking nuts over killing Dyson. Didn't it ever occur to her to just TALK to the man and tell him what would happen?
As for Dyson's death, given that all of Terminator is based around a stable time loop his death was truly a pointless one.

The same could be said of Sarah Connor herself in T3.
Translation - "I totally didn't understand these movies at all."
You didn't understand the meaning of the scene and Sarah going after Dyson. Sarah wasn't thinking rationally - and this was explained also in the script for the film - when Uncle Bob explained the hows and whys of Skynet's creation and then having the Nuclear Nightmare, Sarah awoke as the thing she hated. With those scenes she became The Terminator and her mission was to kill Dyson.
What they were probably thinking/hoping by destroying the lab was that the data and prototypes would be lost so that Cyberdyne couldn't continue. As we learned in T3, the US Military had been backing up the work.
