Crazy fact: James Cameron wanted to cast a well known athlete and football star to play the TERMINATOR, OJ Simpson. However, he changed his mind saying, "He's too much of a nice guy to play the role of a ruthless killer."😳🤦
Cameron originally wanted Lance Henriksen to play the terminator. He wanted an infiltration unit that looked like an everyman. Schwarzenegger was forced upon him by the studio to play Kyle Reese, and Cameron really didn't want him in the movie. However, after having dinner with Arnold, trying to pick a fight to get rid of him, Arnold expressed interest in playing the terminator instead of the hero, and that piqued Cameron's interest. They have since become good friends, working together in Terminator 2, and in True Lies. Henriksen was then cast as lieutenant Vukovich, and got to play a robot in Aliens. Cameron went back to the everyman look for the T-1000 in T2.
Really impressive what they managed to do with just a $6.4 million budget for the first film. The 2nd had $100 million to play with so they really stepped up the effects in that one which still hold up really well.
T800 is the terminator skeleton, model 101 is the Arnold Schwarzenegger skin. All 101's look like Arnold. A 102 would look like somebody else, 103 someone else, and so on.
Okay, I was laughing about the plasma rifle too, but Jane makes an excellent point that there's plasma TVs. It really is always interesting to gain insight into the perspective of others.
@@metroplex7986 Were there Plasma TV's in the 1980's? I work for a company that used to be big in TV's (at least in Europe) and I remember that our TV division started worrying about non-CRT technologies in the mid to late 90's. If I Google about Plasma TV's I see that they were invented in 1964, but commercial Plasma TV's weren't introduced until 1997. So I don't think they were well known outside academic and scientific research circles before then.
What do plasma rifles and plasma tv's have to do with each other? They share a form of matter in common. Just like methane and oxygen are both gas. Or water and iron are both liquid. Assuming the right temperature
@@YouHaventSeenMeRight youre right, plasma tv's were not even in conversation commercially in the 80s. And they have as much in common with plasma rifles as bison striploin steaks. As for the plasma state of matter, I knew about it in 1995 when I was 7 years old because of a not complicated science book. It isn't/wasn't a well kept secret
@@luketrottier9388 She simply explained why that line in the movie didn't stand out to her, and we should all be happy when our fellow humans manage to convey what logic they have followed, if any.
EVERYBODY says that's a cable pulling the truck, it isn't. If you look just after the truck hits the car, part of the metal on the radiator of the truck comes loose. THAT is what you see in the shot, not a cable. You can see it's the actual truck with the metal hanging off it, so why would it need a cable pulling it? It's not a cable that's why, it's simply metal hanging off the trucks radiator after it hit the car.
I love this movie for its inherent awesomeness, but it also has a personal significance for me because my sister and brother-in-law actually named their son after Reese, so the character almost feels like part of the family. Speaking of my sister, she's just like Jane and constantly asks my brother-in-law questions whenever they watch a movie together.
I cant help but feel both of you dont realize the incredible impact Schwarzenegger had on the world. He wasnt a weight lifter but Mister Universe, repetitively. One of the biggest action stars of all time. And a US politician coming from the past of an Austrian boy with a dream. Listen to one of his motivational speeches and you see how he got so successful at all he pursued.
34:55 it's not just smoke. Its a blast and the remaining result of the blast is smoke. It's actually way more realistic than what you'd expect to see in a movie & imo looks waaaaay better & more cool
You know what I realized at the end with the picture, Kyle told her he used to wonder what she was thinking in that moment. She was thinking about him.
OK.......i'm putting together my new state of art "TV Plasma Rifle", not as cool as the Red Rider Rifle; but it has a scope, buiit in video feed, and sees the future so i know where to go and shoot. Thanks for the great reactions!!!
A horror movie as much as SF? A reviewer in Starlog Magazine said this was like Halloween or Friday the 13th where the killer keeps rising back up after being killed -- but that at least there was an explanation for it in The Terminator. I think even James Cameron has commented on that. I remember seeing the original Halloween and Halloween 2 at the theater -- the people in the audience muttered back and forth in confusion when Michael Myers kept coming back [one lady with a cowboy hat was very vocal about it in H2]; the "unstoppable killer" had not yet become a trope.
Other reasons include Lethal Weapon, The Goonies, Back to the Future, Die Hard, E.T., Predator, and Metallica. Reasons not to bring back the 80s include Mac and Me, Iron Eagle, The Last Starfighter, and the hair.
oddly enough James (Jim) Cameron worked in 1981 on John Carpenter's (who did Halloween) film Escape From New York, making matte paintings of futuristic post-apocalyptic New York, and had an idea of using glow in the dark paint on boxes to represent buildings seen as a wire-frame model on a computer, looking like a computer generated image before they actually had good computer generated images. The Terminator is basically Halloween with serial killer slashers and cyborgs and time travel, like how Alien (1979) was also a horror sci-fi with the spaceship being the haunted house, the alien the monster, and again a powerful female lead final girl like Sarah is in The Terminator and Jamie Leigh's character in Halloween.
How many Terminator movies are there? Two. There are two. The only other truly worthy Terminator "film" was Terminator 2-3D: Battle Across Time at Universal Studios Florida.
That scene where Schwarzenegger's leather jacket is "smoking" from fire, the film crew used real acid to make that effect. The crew would put a few drops of acid on Schwarzenegger's shoulders between film takes. Arnold could feel the acid burning his shoulders but he was a trooper. Also, the scene when Arnold is driving a car, his eyes would move from left to right and THEN his head would swivel to follow the direction. There was a slight delay. Arnold came up with that idea on set.
Yes brilliant having the eyes moving first, I believe either Arnold or James Cameron described it like a security camera panning back and forth or like a shark's eyes scanning for prey.
@@kevinburton3948 Yeah, I recall on DVD extra that Arnold came up with the idea on set about the eyes. This was Arnold's first roll as a villain. He totally embraced this role as a villain. At the time it was kind of a risk to his career. He played so many good guys in films previously.
you are correct, Terminator was supposed to be a horror film you can see the vast difference between each Terminator movie, Terminator 1 being entirely horror and the more you move in the franchise the more it becomes more like science-fiction (it does retain the horror elements of the merciless machines exterminating humans)
Think about it...Sarah told John who his father was...possibly leaving out the he was from the future part...but that his name was Kyle Reese. Thus John knew Kyle Reese was his father when he met him ...his mother had already told him...so he had to send Kyle back or he would never be born.
That's why I love The Terminator. The story is impeccable. Everything in the future and the present is linked. In fact, the factory where the CSM-101 T-800 was destroyed was supposed to be owned by Cyberdyne Systems, allowing them to develop Skynet. Unfortunately, T2 broke that causality, especially in the alternate ending. I get the message that there is no fate but what we make for ourselves, but it disrupts the timeline set forth in the first movie. Now there's no apocalypse, Kyle doesn't get sent back, and John isn't born. They turned The Terminator into Back to the Future in terms of time travel rules. I think there's far more artistic merit to time travel rules as in The Terminator and 12 Monkeys, where you can't change the past because it already happened. It forces the writer to think the story through much more. Rules like Back to the Future and Avengers: Endgame where you go back to the past to fix the future and create an alternate timeline is kinda a cop-out. It can serve a narrative purpose, and it does in those series, and they're fantastic series, but you don't get the pleasure of seeing events mesh together.
When you stop and think about it, John Connor knew that Kyle Reese was his father. But he could never tell him that for fear that him knowing it might change what was going to happen. John knew exactly which one of his soldiers he had to send back after the terminator. Also note that John gave Kyle that picture of Sarah for a good reason. In any other situation, giving your friend a picture of your mom would be kind of creepy.
She heard "plasma" and thought of a TV. I hear "plasma", and think of a plasma cutter, which is used to cut through thick plate steel. If there was such thing as a "plasma rifle", it would probably be used in the future against the machines, sending white hot plasma right through them.
Also, the thing about future "juice" is it's not intelligence that passes on by genes, but the ability to adapt, physical traits, endurance. Which is exactly the reason why evolution occurs in every species.
It’s not stated until later but the terminator is specifically a T-800. It’s referred to as a model 101, which is its human appearance. So there are T-800s that don’t look like Arnold, like the one in Kyle’s flashback. Kyle mentioned the 600s that were easier to spot because they were bulkier and had rubber skin
10:02 Not only are sawed-off shotguns or sawn-off guns better for concealment, but when you fire them, the shell actually has a wider burst. So if the barrel was longer, when you fired, the spread would be more concentrated. Shorter barrels are designed to make the damage more widespread instead of centered which is also illegal in most scenarios. It reduces the range, the shorter the barrel of the shotgun, but increase the chances of hitting someone or damaging your target. What Kyle does here is sawing off the rifle butt. He actually doesn't alter the barrel but he does decrease the length of the shotgun to make it concealable and he can access it at all times and be ready to fight in a moment's notice. A longer shotgun, with his trench coat appearance in the scene after where he walks could easily increase the chances of him being spotted or someone noticing that his movement seems to be suspicious.
So what if they're using solid shot? The reason people saw down shotgun barrels is strictly for concealment. Buck shot or other pellet type shells still have a wad which contains those pellets to keep them packed for a while after it leaves the barrel. The spread is negligible with a short barrel. All a shorter barrel means less velocity and less accuracy. It has very little to do with spread. There is virtually no ballistic benefit in comparison to a standard length barrel.
Guys, in answer to your question at 28:51, you could explain one man killing 30 policemen if the man was wearing body armor and took no head shots in return. Most professionals would shoot to the body (chest and abdomen) because it puts the suspect on his back. With body armor, a strong person could stay on his feet and deliver major damage to people who weren't wearing bullet proof vests.
Not with the weapons fired at him. They were using M16s. While a smaller caliber bullet at 5.56, they are high velocity bullets, body armor will only protect against 3-4 rounds max. Every impact affects the structural integrity of the armor plates. After that the armor fails, and rounds will go through.
36:25 I've seen this movie dozens of times over the years and never noticed the obvious wire pulling the model semi in that half second shot before. Crazy!
Predator is a must watch; Arnold Schwarzenegger was a bodybuilder before becoming an actor, though he did appear in a few films before acting full-time, including Pumping Iron
Movies from the 80's weren't "slow"...... but just normal. It's everything now that is hyper edited with cut to cut to cut, fast editing like crazy to constantly keep attention like everything's some 2 minute commercial vying for your attention.....that is making you think that way.
Thrilled to see these movies reacted to! I must admit though, looking away at parts feels disappointing. We want to see a “reaction” and a lot of that gets taken away when you don’t watch parts on purpose.
@@fapple6240 nah my dude a reaction is defined by a physical or mental response to external stimuli. so its definitely fair to call looking away after watching sth scary a reaction
@@lightup6751 be that as it may, one can decide to not watch a movie after seeing the opening scene and that may qualify as a “reaction” in the dictionary but I think we both understand that’s not what most people have in mind. When you look away you only react to the portion of the scene you saw. Some viewers want/expect more.
@@fapple6240 yeah I can agree with what meaning “reaction” was the context here. but I disagree with viewers demanding more. no one is forcing you to watch and you not paying reactors with your own resources other than time. I think reactors are talentless in what they do. the ones more popular are likable but thats a personality thing and not a craft or a skill. but its a odd to expect them to react “more”. reactors are just people watching movies and recording themselves. if someone doesnt have the stomach to watch sth gruesome they wont. and thats the most authentic a reactor can be. reacting as genuinely as possible. but hey, thats just me.
9:47 Just a note, gun shops aren't allowed or never will store live ammunition where anyone could just reach and be able to access or grab them. The owners of gun shops also are armed too. So if anyone comes in and reaches for or pulls out their own weapon, you will be shot or risk the use of deadly force. Trying to take ammo and load it into a gun that you're examining is an absolute no no.
Here in Kansas there's a Cabela's outdoor outlet that keeps ammo out for anyone to grab same with the Frontier Justice which is a dealer and shooting range but both stores have armed personnel in those areas
LOL! FUTURE juice?!? I haven't laughed so hard at anything you guys have done as much as I did then. And when Jane was going on about seeing Arnold's butt, I was like, "Wait 'til she sees him approach the three punks!" When Bil Paxton says, "Hey. What's wrong with this picture?" you can actually see Arnold's... junk flapping away as he walks towards them." (Did you recognize Bill Paxton?) And the guy on the right (who had his heart pulled out) played the recurring role of the alien bounty hunter on The X-Files.
A sawed off shotgun isn't more deadly at any distance. In fact, it becomes a bit less effective. The reason it is illegal in various places is for its concealability, not its effectiveness.
You got me with that "future juice". A good reaction video overall. Viewers usually don't get that "phased plasma 40 Watts" thing at the armory. This is a detail I've always found clever (archives have been erased, so the terminator has partial infos about 1984 era) and cynical at the same time (the armoury man doesn't react, probably thinking about his big money stack but we all know how it's gonna end for him). Well done. The movie is even more impressive when we consider how much it has cost (6.4 million USD), not a huge budget even for that time.
34:23 They should have obtained a sledge hammer and axe by this point and after ramming the Terminator with their truck run over and park on it while it is down pinning it down shoot out it's optics with the assault rifle it dropped (if you have a clear shot) then attack it's head with sledge hammer followed by axe. Game Over Man!
To be fair, with all the wildfires in California right now, we only need some Predator drones to fly over in the evening and it would look like the opening scene.
When a Get shot his flesh will take years to regrow like his eye for instance it'll take years to regrow another human eye Terry the truth I don't know how many years it takes for his flesh to heal but the bullet wounds and Shotgun wounds We'll heal And that's why he wears the sunglasses to cover the eye look so cool on him
This story is what is called a 'Self-Fulfilling Prophecy'. If Skynet hadn't sent the T-101 back in the first place John would never have been born, so for John to be born Skynet would always have had to have sent a terminator back just prior to his conception. Pigs is a slur for the police, an old slur (16th century) which came from the fact people used to think pigs were dirty. It's not just for the police either. It's basically like calling anyone a dirty pig but the police get called 'pigs' for no other reason than they're the police.
6:25 you’re worried about his butt…yet when he’s walking towards the thugs…it’s dark and shadowed…but you can see the shadow of something else dangling around…so…yeah…bum is the least of your worries lol
He was not a weightlifter, but a bodybuilder. That movie was 5 years after he ended his career as body builder and most titles were from the late 60s and early 70s. Yes, he is that old.
41:45 and thus we also get the answer to kyles thoughts earlier “I used to always wonder what you were thinking about at that moment” She was thinking about him…
Reece is not John Conner's father. Or at least the father of the John Conner Reece knows. If she gets pregnant with Reece's child and Sarah names him John. It would be a entirely different John Conner.
Actor who got killed by Arnold with the blue spikey hair was killed by a the predator In predator 2 & was killed by aliens and aliens 2 . He also the big brother in a movie called weird science . He passed away a few years ago
The terminator is a great movie but the terminator 2 is even a much greater movie one of my all time favourite childhood movie can't wait for you both to watch it 👍🙂
28:23 Both the cops rationalize to Sarah that he only survived multiple shotgun blasts because he must have been wearing a Kevlar vest but when they later take him on both cops with clear kill shots at 20 feet shoot him in the torso instead of going for the head. This goes against their very own rationalization. Shooting the Terminator in it's optics is the only way you are gonna stop it with an M16/AR15.
Not necessarily, shotgun rounds don't have the penetration properties of a high speed 5.56 round, and the torso is the easier part to hit. If we're going to criticize technique, it should be Vukovich shooting from the hips, rather than properly aiming. Though I guess the adrenaline coursing through his body at that moment probably meant he acted before thinking.
Some people don't like the later films but I still do. The first two are the best but the others and still good imo and have alot of good action. I think it would still be worth watching through the series to see where the story goes.
Terminator 2 is amazing and this movie was amazing because hard to believe it's a low-budget movie Terminator 2 has a very high budget and the special effects still stand up
The book would turn stomachs. So many details that they couldn't put in the movie. Spoiler alert. He cut their legs, looking for a pin, and scar. He was looking for the injury she got at the end, when Reese partially destroyed T100. Deemed too graphic and creepy back then.

Yeeeeeea you don't just see Arnold's bottom. When he's walking up to the gang members you can see some dangling in at least the original version. Idk if they fixed it in later version.
Did anyone mention that “Doctor Who” did this story first? The guys who ran “Doctor Who” were always rather nice about it, saying they figure James Cameron must have been exposed to the same “Outer Limits” episode that inspired them in the ‘70s. “Who” gave the story another fun wrinkle beyond what Cameron put in this though. ☺️

I think there's far more artistic merit to time travel rules as in The Terminator and 12 Monkeys, where you can't change the past because it already happened. It forces the writer to think the story through much more. Rules like Back to the Future and Avengers: Endgame where you go back to the past to fix the future and create an alternate timeline is kinda a cop-out. It can serve a narrative purpose, and it does in those series, and they're fantastic series, but you don't get the pleasure of seeing events mesh together.
When you stop and think about it, John Connor knew that Kyle Reese was his father. But he could never tell him that for fear that him knowing it might change what was going to happen. John knew exactly which one of his soldiers he had to send back after the terminator.
Also note that John gave Kyle that picture of Sarah for a good reason. In any other situation, giving your friend a picture of your mom would be kind of creepy.
"They put the exacto in his eye and they showed it" funny enough, they didn't, it's hidden by his nose and hand. Your brain filled in that detail 😲🤣
If you look closely, the exacto doesn't have a blade.
I’ll never look at a plasma tv again without remembering this reaction.
She heard "plasma" and thought of a TV. I hear "plasma", and think of a plasma cutter, which is used to cut through thick plate steel. If there was such thing as a "plasma rifle", it would probably be used in the future against the machines, sending white hot plasma right through them.
Guy among trio who said something about a six pack was Bill Paxton.
@ 17:51 - when The Terminator arrived inside Technoir, then the Public is actually NOT safe...
Also, the thing about future "juice" is it's not intelligence that passes on by genes, but the ability to adapt, physical traits, endurance. Which is exactly the reason why evolution occurs in every species.
Of note, the Terminator, while driving the station wagon early in the film, runs over a toy version of the truck that runs him over later. 😲
It’s not stated until later but the terminator is specifically a T-800. It’s referred to as a model 101, which is its human appearance. So there are T-800s that don’t look like Arnold, like the one in Kyle’s flashback. Kyle mentioned the 600s that were easier to spot because they were bulkier and had rubber skin
10:02 Not only are sawed-off shotguns or sawn-off guns better for concealment, but when you fire them, the shell actually has a wider burst. So if the barrel was longer, when you fired, the spread would be more concentrated. Shorter barrels are designed to make the damage more widespread instead of centered which is also illegal in most scenarios. It reduces the range, the shorter the barrel of the shotgun, but increase the chances of hitting someone or damaging your target.
What Kyle does here is sawing off the rifle butt. He actually doesn't alter the barrel but he does decrease the length of the shotgun to make it concealable and he can access it at all times and be ready to fight in a moment's notice. A longer shotgun, with his trench coat appearance in the scene after where he walks could easily increase the chances of him being spotted or someone noticing that his movement seems to be suspicious.
So what if they're using solid shot? The reason people saw down shotgun barrels is strictly for concealment. Buck shot or other pellet type shells still have a wad which contains those pellets to keep them packed for a while after it leaves the barrel. The spread is negligible with a short barrel. All a shorter barrel means less velocity and less accuracy. It has very little to do with spread. There is virtually no ballistic benefit in comparison to a standard length barrel.
I love Jane's Dutch Terminator accent at the beginning..
Guys, in answer to your question at 28:51, you could explain one man killing 30 policemen if the man was wearing body armor and took no head shots in return. Most professionals would shoot to the body (chest and abdomen) because it puts the suspect on his back. With body armor, a strong person could stay on his feet and deliver major damage to people who weren't wearing bullet proof vests.
Not with the weapons fired at him. They were using M16s. While a smaller caliber bullet at 5.56, they are high velocity bullets, body armor will only protect against 3-4 rounds max. Every impact affects the structural integrity of the armor plates. After that the armor fails, and rounds will go through.
Fun fact; Traxler says "We've got 30 cops in this building" but in T2 they said "He killed 17 police officers that night" so 13 must have survived.
36:25 I've seen this movie dozens of times over the years and never noticed the obvious wire pulling the model semi in that half second shot before. Crazy!
Predator is a must watch; Arnold Schwarzenegger was a bodybuilder before becoming an actor, though he did appear in a few films before acting full-time, including Pumping Iron
Movies from the 80's weren't "slow"...... but just normal. It's everything now that is hyper edited with cut to cut to cut, fast editing like crazy to constantly keep attention like everything's some 2 minute commercial vying for your attention.....that is making you think that way.
Terminator killed entire cops
"did he kill him?" 😂😂😂😂
Thrilled to see these movies reacted to! I must admit though, looking away at parts feels disappointing. We want to see a “reaction” and a lot of that gets taken away when you don’t watch parts on purpose.
Looking away is ironically exactly that, a reaction
@@lightup6751 More like a response
@@fapple6240 nah my dude a reaction is defined by a physical or mental response to external stimuli. so its definitely fair to call looking away after watching sth scary a reaction
@@lightup6751 be that as it may, one can decide to not watch a movie after seeing the opening scene and that may qualify as a “reaction” in the dictionary but I think we both understand that’s not what most people have in mind. When you look away you only react to the portion of the scene you saw. Some viewers want/expect more.
@@fapple6240 yeah I can agree with what meaning “reaction” was the context here.
but I disagree with viewers demanding more. no one is forcing you to watch and you not paying reactors with your own resources other than time.
I think reactors are talentless in what they do. the ones more popular are likable but thats a personality thing and not a craft or a skill.
but its a odd to expect them to react “more”. reactors are just people watching movies and recording themselves. if someone doesnt have the stomach to watch sth gruesome they wont. and thats the most authentic a reactor can be. reacting as genuinely as possible. but hey, thats just me.
9:47 Just a note, gun shops aren't allowed or never will store live ammunition where anyone could just reach and be able to access or grab them.
The owners of gun shops also are armed too. So if anyone comes in and reaches for or pulls out their own weapon, you will be shot or risk the use of deadly force. Trying to take ammo and load it into a gun that you're examining is an absolute no no.
Terminator should of read the rules sign.
Here in Kansas there's a Cabela's outdoor outlet that keeps ammo out for anyone to grab same with the Frontier Justice which is a dealer and shooting range but both stores have armed personnel in those areas
LOL! FUTURE juice?!? I haven't laughed so hard at anything you guys have done as much as I did then. And when Jane was going on about seeing Arnold's butt, I was like, "Wait 'til she sees him approach the three punks!" When Bil Paxton says, "Hey. What's wrong with this picture?" you can actually see Arnold's... junk flapping away as he walks towards them." (Did you recognize Bill Paxton?) And the guy on the right (who had his heart pulled out) played the recurring role of the alien bounty hunter on The X-Files.
A sawed off shotgun isn't more deadly at any distance. In fact, it becomes a bit less effective. The reason it is illegal in various places is for its concealability, not its effectiveness.
You got me with that "future juice". A good reaction video overall. Viewers usually don't get that "phased plasma 40 Watts" thing at the armory. This is a detail I've always found clever (archives have been erased, so the terminator has partial infos about 1984 era) and cynical at the same time (the armoury man doesn't react, probably thinking about his big money stack but we all know how it's gonna end for him). Well done. The movie is even more impressive when we consider how much it has cost (6.4 million USD), not a huge budget even for that time.
34:23 They should have obtained a sledge hammer and axe by this point and after ramming the Terminator with their truck run over and park on it while it is down pinning it down shoot out it's optics with the assault rifle it dropped (if you have a clear shot) then attack it's head with sledge hammer followed by axe. Game Over Man!
"I'm at Square One" LOL!
To be fair, with all the wildfires in California right now, we only need some Predator drones to fly over in the evening and it would look like the opening scene.
BILL PAXTON (Titanic, Aliens, Edge of Tomorrow) was the Blue Haired Punk!:-)
First react channel I’ve seen actively starting to plan for their own Terminator situation.
Deleted scene,after sarah is put unto the ambulance.the camera pulls to reveal a sign "cyber dyne systems".
One of my favorite films of all time
I love how long it takes her to find out that Arnold's a robot. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
*Cyborg
When a Get shot his flesh will take years to regrow like his eye for instance it'll take years to regrow another human eye Terry the truth I don't know how many years it takes for his flesh to heal but the bullet wounds and Shotgun wounds We'll heal And that's why he wears the sunglasses to cover the eye look so cool on him
Endoskeleton man. Endo means on the inside, exo means on the outside. A robot exoskeleton would be like Ironman's suit.
That future juice is powerful stuff! Always guaranteed to make a world saviour!
a Toaster's purpose in life is to toast bread. A Terminator's purpose in life is to terminate Sarah Conners.
This whole reaction and the first 10min, like Justin had said is ''Gold''!! haha
This story is what is called a 'Self-Fulfilling Prophecy'. If Skynet hadn't sent the T-101 back in the first place John would never have been born, so for John to be born Skynet would always have had to have sent a terminator back just prior to his conception.
Pigs is a slur for the police, an old slur (16th century) which came from the fact people used to think pigs were dirty. It's not just for the police either. It's basically like calling anyone a dirty pig but the police get called 'pigs' for no other reason than they're the police.
6:25 you’re worried about his butt…yet when he’s walking towards the thugs…it’s dark and shadowed…but you can see the shadow of something else dangling around…so…yeah…bum is the least of your worries lol
Of note; Schwarzenegger only has 11 lines of dialigue in the whole film 😲
The club's name is "Tech Noir". Noir is the French word for black. Black/Dark technology.
"Laughing time is ohhva!" Like that's going to happen on your reactions. ;D You both definitely keep things interesting.
He was not a weightlifter, but a bodybuilder. That movie was 5 years after he ended his career as body builder and most titles were from the late 60s and early 70s. Yes, he is that old.
He was roughly 37 when this came out.
Plasma TV's are real indeed but we are living almost 40 years in the future...
9:47 “did he just murder that man?!?
No, he was terminated.
41:45 and thus we also get the answer to kyles thoughts earlier
“I used to always wonder what you were thinking about at that moment”
She was thinking about him…
Reece is not John Conner's father. Or at least the father of the John Conner Reece knows. If she gets pregnant with Reece's child and Sarah names him John. It would be a entirely different John Conner.
Jane will be Bach, and I will be Mozart.
The second Terminator is the best of the franchise. So didn't get progressively worse right away
Man, I know the cops that worked 1st shift did a fist pump.
Actor who got killed by Arnold with the blue spikey hair was killed by a the predator In predator 2 & was killed by aliens and aliens 2 . He also the big brother in a movie called weird science . He passed away a few years ago
did you know that Arnold and Michael bien (Reese) were supposed to play roles switched but Arnold wanted to be the terminator.
You guys do good Arnold imitations
Utter bullshit. There is no way these two haven't seen this movie. Everyone has seen this movie.
The terminator is a great movie but the terminator 2 is even a much greater movie one of my all time favourite childhood movie can't wait for you both to watch it 👍🙂
7:44 The Termidater:Robot Dating Service
28:23 Both the cops rationalize to Sarah that he only survived multiple shotgun blasts because he must have been wearing a Kevlar vest but when they later take him on both cops with clear kill shots at 20 feet shoot him in the torso instead of going for the head. This goes against their very own rationalization. Shooting the Terminator in it's optics is the only way you are gonna stop it with an M16/AR15.
Not necessarily, shotgun rounds don't have the penetration properties of a high speed 5.56 round, and the torso is the easier part to hit. If we're going to criticize technique, it should be Vukovich shooting from the hips, rather than properly aiming. Though I guess the adrenaline coursing through his body at that moment probably meant he acted before thinking.
Some people don't like the later films but I still do. The first two are the best but the others and still good imo and have alot of good action. I think it would still be worth watching through the series to see where the story goes.
Jane's impression or Arnie sounds more like Sigmund Freud XD
Terminator 2 is amazing and this movie was amazing because hard to believe it's a low-budget movie Terminator 2 has a very high budget and the special effects still stand up
The book would turn stomachs. So many details that they couldn't put in the movie. Spoiler alert. He cut their legs, looking for a pin, and scar. He was looking for the injury she got at the end, when Reese partially destroyed T100. Deemed too graphic and creepy back then.
So precious. ☺️ _It really is like you guys are from another planet sometimes._ 👽😁 OMG! 😄 And *Jane* was _extra_ *_Jane_* today! 🤪 Add her difficulty enunciating and she totally seemed high! 🤣
It's absolutely hilarious how *Jane* will ask questions the film hasn't even had slightest chance to answer yet.¹ I particularly liked when she asked, _"Why's the dog barking it him?"_ 🤣² Yes, *in this film* there _just happened_ to be some relevance. But dogs just bark at people _all the time._ 😅 She truly, had me LMAO!
You two are just too funny. I really would like to hear your podcast, but unless there's a version on RUclips, podcasts generally don't even cross my mind.
22:17 *ROFLMAO!* OMG, these Invisalign things are _the BEST!_ Please say _"facetious"_ again! 🤣
··•∶🤖∶•··
¹ ─ It all makes so much sense now. . .I can finally see why she likes to know how a movie ends before she starts watching the whole thing. (I still think it's kooky, but I'm beginning to get it.) ☺️
² ─ i.e., the little dog from the beginning, outside of the first Sarah Connor's house.
It's on RUclips! "The See Jane Go TV Podcast" -- we are bringing back new episodes again really soon!
@@SeeJaneGoTV *_Yay!!!!_*
I really appreciate you taking the time to let me know.
Have a great weekend!
36:58 insulated circuitry. I've seen some matterial made for wires in heated devices to keep them from getting too hot
12:22 A Guren Lagann reference? Hell yeah. XD
Yeeeeeea you don't just see Arnold's bottom. When he's walking up to the gang members you can see some dangling in at least the original version. Idk if they fixed it in later version.
omg that opening hahahaha you made my day hahaha
Did anyone mention that “Doctor Who” did this story first? The guys who ran “Doctor Who” were always rather nice about it, saying they figure James Cameron must have been exposed to the same “Outer Limits” episode that inspired them in the ‘70s. “Who” gave the story another fun wrinkle beyond what Cameron put in this though. ☺️
