  • @MrHws5mp
    @MrHws5mp Год назад +11

    The scooter Sarah is riding at 4:40 is a Honda 125 Spacy ("Elite" in the US). Until that point, scooters mostly had curvaceous 1950s styling like iconic Italian Lambrettas or Vespas. However post-Star Wars, Honda decided that 'futuristic' styling would sell, so they came out with the Spacey, complete with Ferrari-style pop-up headlight and 'space age' digital dashboard). They were pretty popular in the early 1980s. A mate of mine had the 250cc version for a while: it was pretty decent. Since they were launched in 1984, the year Terminator came out, I wouldn't be surprised if the scooter's appearance was a bit of paid-for product placement.

    The attention to detail in this (low budget) movie is awesome. When Kyle tells Sarah about the picture he says that he always wondered what she was thinking about and that she seemed kinda sad. In the end scene we learn she was thinking about him and that he was dead, so she was kinda sad. Just perfect.

    That thing you were wondering about in American cars is the gear shift for an automatic transmission. In the 1980's they started putting safety interlocks on them so you could not start the vehicle unless the shift lever was in park or neutral. Over time or on slight impacts the shift lever interlock would get knocked out of alignment so you had to keep fiddling with the lever to get the car to start again.

  • @neilis2405
    @neilis2405 Год назад +83

    The "thing" on the car @12:41 is a column shifter - its not really a thing on American cars but rather on older cars (and particularly older trucks). Rather than having the auto-transmission shifter in the center of the car like most new cars do, a lot of them used to have it on the steering column where you could shift it between, Park, Neutral, Drive, Reverse, etc.

    Yup, the Eighties were loud as hell, you got that right. Not just the clothes, we were loud as hell too. It wasn't just the drugs either. We actually had caffinated water, and we used it to make coffee. We drank Jolt Cola, it had all of the sugar and twice the caffeine of Coca Cola. We had all of the dangerous energy drink prototypes. I remember a caffeinated pancake syrup loaded with guarana back then.
    We could be as loud as we wanted because didn't have to worry about waking anybody up. None of us ever slept, we just kind of passed out every so often and the others would just walk over us.
    We had a system.

    The scene of the terminator emerging from the fire:
    FUN FACT: the writer-director of this film, James Cameron, had a nightmare of a robot with guns emerging from a fire. He woke up, and instantly wrote a draft script to make a movie, and that’s how the whole thing came to be; he wrote the whole plot around that. Jim Cameron says that “dreams are boring”, and prefers nightmares because it is a source for his movies…. And so this movie happened, and it is a major classic, the “first born” of one of the most profitable franchises in History. James Cameron is a genius

    12:41 That thing on the steering column is a gear shifter...it's pretty common to see them there in trucks even today, but in the 70s and 80s a lot of larger cars would put the gear shift there instead of the floor between the front seats so they could use a "bench"-style front seat, thus allowing space for another passenger in the car (2+driver in the front, 3 or more in the back). It also helps that those cars almost always came with automatic transmissions, though there were a few manual transmission vehicles that put the shifter there (it's confusing as hell to try to drive one, and way too easy to miss a gear, so it never caught on thankfully).

    At 12:40, when Kyle & Sarah's car stops and Kyle is trying to move the stick next to the wheel, he's trying to shift the gears. The stick is a gear shift for automatic transmissions. These were common in the 80s. The reason he can't move it is because Sarah threw the car into Park to stop them from crashing into the wall and it locked up the transmission.

    I think there is a “timeline divergence” somewhere where Kyle Reese became John’s father. Timeline 1 sees John send kyle back to protect Sarah. They have “together time” and Sarah gets pregnant. This creates timeline 2 where Kyle is the father. This then supersedes the original timeline and the original father is lost to history.
    It’s of course equally possible that this movie is an example of a causal loop: John must send Kyle back to ensure his own existence. Kyle going back in time allows Sarah to survive long enough to train John into the warrior who would eventually send Kyle back in time. Event A causes Event B which in turn causes event A.

    I just realized that this guy said in the car that "we cant make anything like that, not for 40 years" and now we have robots doing backflips and landing them perfectly and we are 1 FUCKING YEAR AWAY FROM THAT 40 YEARS LOL...

    15 year old boy, 1984, imagine what it was like seeing this at that time. Arnold was the coolest dude that ever existed for us back then. Also, it's been the 40 years Kyle said it'd take to create an Arnold. We're there and it hasn't happened unless the shadow government/sector has and just hasn't told us.

    12:33 That's the gear selector. On some older model cars, mostly automatic transmissions, the gear selector was on the steering column. Kyle was probably trying to put the car in park so he could exit and engage with the officers.
