Sad fact: When Kyle speaks about the photograph of Sarah, he always used to wonder what she was thinking in that moment. At the end of the scene, when the picture is finally taken, we found out in that moment she was thinking of him all along. :(
That's why to me this is the second most romantic movie ever made. I met Michael Biehn twice back in the 80s, He is a really nice guy.
😭😭😭 full circle beauty, full circle heartbreak
@@AlandaParker In that way, it's very like the photograph in "Somewhere in Time". They both occupy the same space in their respective stories. If you like romances, you should totally check that one out. SO SWEET AND TRAGIC OMG. Christopher Reeve at his handsome, dashing best, and Jane Seymour being her steel-in-a-velvet-glove loveliest.
@@Serai3 Beyond tragic.....that movie almost scarred me....came out the year I was born.
@@goat1408 Oh, you young thing! :D I saw it in the theater when it came out, and I was not alone in sobbing my heart out. Have your read the book it's based on? It's called "Bid Time Return", by Richard Matheson, who wrote a number of books that got made into great films. (He played the man who said "Astonishing!" when he passed Richard Collier in the hallway.) The book is even more tragic than the film, if you can imagine it!
Linda Hamilton and Sigourney Weaver are the two Queens of action movies. Sarah Connor and Ellen Ripely are iconic female characters.
And Michael Biehn was the best possible ally for BOTH, bar none.
@@SansMerci1013 FACTS
@@SansMerci1013 And James Cameron directed them well.
Shout their names whenever hack filmmakers act like they invented badass female characters! Ripley was my fucking hero as a kid!
@@SansMerci1013 The only one to ever save Ripley in an Alien movie. I met him twice in the 80s he was an awesome guy.

@@Christof742 Magisterial!
On the real, a few years ago we showed my son _Home Alone_ and at some point during, he turns to us and is like "why does it seem like you guys had all the best movies?"
I wasn't expecting that because of all the sensory overload these kids have nowadays. But I felt validated as hell for my generation, lol.

#remembertechnoir
Can't wait for your T2 reaction.
The TechNoir was technically a set temporarily built in a space that had been emptied, but the crew was really tempted to accept people's money, when folks on the street thought they saw a real nightclub and were willing to spend about that much for the sake of enjoying the space.
it would make good money nowadays if they had actors replaying that scene every 30 minutes
@@moviemaestro800 i would have gladly paid $4.50 for a Tech Noir ticket. (how much would that ticket cost today adjusted for Inflation?)

Alanda casually watching Terminator as dogs start barking outside her house o.o run
I thought the same!
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. And yes I like it better than part two. The low budget, the grit, the guerilla filmmaking - it just has more heart than the sequel. And the chemistry between Sarah and Kyle is amazing. They did so much with so little.
RIP to Paul Winfield.....the black cop. He played MLK in the 1978 miniseries King with the recently departed Cicely Tyson portraying Coretta.
aw damn! I had no idea!
yknow now that you mention it, he looks like MLK a lot
If you can find it, Linda Hamilton was in Beauty And The Beast, an 80's show with Ron Perlman as the beast. It's kind of urban fantasy romance, before that was much of a genre, with 14 episodes written by GRRM (yes, GoT's GRRM).
Oh how I LOVED that show. I think it was very underrated. The chemistry between Hamilton and Perlman was incredible, and both gave exceptional performances. I do wish more people today knew about the show.
WHAT?!?!?!?! I will DEFINITELY be attempting to track this down
Seconded. Pretty sure the Disney beast was based on the Perlman version.
@@AlandaParker I think they have the Beauty and the Beast television version on DVD at Walmart the entire season
One thing I like about this movies is that there was more than one Sarah Conner; you never really think about that you know that a lot of people can actually have the same 1st and surname yet not be related to each other. It's just a tiny piece of realism that never happens in movies so it's kind of refreshing.
"You got a lot of nerve!" When you said that to the Terminator i was cracking up. Also most people think that the £5 dollars for the photo was a con butvyou have a generous heart to give thee kid the full 5. Nice one!!!
Thank you for this awesome reaction
The Terminator knows he was tryin it 😂. and that was one cute little boy and one crucial photo! worth every penny!
and Thank you!! 😊
"Come with me if you want to live" is one of the most iconic sayings in movie history. The soundtrack for this film is awesome. Tahnee Cain & The Tryanglz--Burnin' in the Third Degree song from the Technoir club scene is my favorite.
And "I'll be back." is even more iconic than that.
One theme of the film is that modern machines are dangerous, a foreshadow of the future. Ginger dies because she is dancing with her headphones on and can’t hear what is going on. The Terminator finds out Sarah is still alive because of her answering machine. The Terminator finds out where Sarah is located because he imitates her mother’s voice over the phone. Also, realize that John Connor, savior of humanity, has the initials J.C. Actress Linda Hamilton has an identical twin who appears in T2, and James Cameron married her after he divorced Gale Anne Hurd.
Good points and info! Thanks 😊!
To submit to your request of cool shit about this movie: Arnie originally auditioned for the role of "Kyle Reese". His agent was looking for heroic roles to trade in on his ironman physique, a la CONAN THE BARBARIAN. He was turned down.
However, even though the Terminator role was originally conceived for a more regular physique (and American accent), Cameron liked Arnie's enthusiasm and insights when he was auditioning for "Kyle".
Against his own parameters, Cameron pushed for Schwarzenegger to be the Terminator.
And thus a franchise and a directorial career were born. And, so too, was the iconic career of Arnold Schwarzenegger catapulted from cult to mainstream. All because Arnold failed to land the role of the hero.
Enjoy TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY. It's one of the greatest sequels, greatest science fiction movies, greatest blockbusters, and greatest action movies of all time.
No Kanye, just straight truth.
That tracks with what I have heard as well.
Lance Henriksen who plays one of the cops who meets Sarah was supposed to be the Terminator. They wanted to play on the idea that a Terminator could be a regular schlub looking dude who was really an unstoppable killing machine.
Fun fact, Lance Henriksen and Bill Paxton(one of the punk rockers early in the film) are the only actors to have played characters that were been killed/maimed by a Terminator, a Xenomorph and a Predator.
@@yt45204 LMAO. Touche
Fun fact: originally they considered to cast OJ Simpson for the role of the terminator, but Cameron couldn’t see him as a convincing killer.
@@snakesrule5 I’ve heard that story as well
@@snakesrule5 I had to look to see if someone mentioned this... It’s so weird and beyond creepily ironic
The hardest part for me to see was Reese’s visions of the future. The ground covered in skeletons. Kids having to hunt rats to eat. People using old TV sets as fireplaces. Sheesh.
But the one bright spot of this hellish world is that we would be as one people united. As Reese said “we almost went out” but at least humans stopped treating each other as threats.
They weren't using the TV as a fireplace. They were kids with PTSD just staring off at it without really looking at it.
I can't STAND watchin the children suffer 😫
Realize this. The events of the original Terminator is only eight years away, 2029
@@AlandaParker Did you Kyle Reese cameo is in The Walking Dead an an early episode(around the time of The Whispers came around) there is also other movie icon cameos too.....
@@ennislawrence9583 No. Judgement day was August 1997. 2029 was just the year that Kyle was sent back from- but the world had been like that for like 3 decades by that point
Back when Michael Biehn was the most BAD ASS guy in Hollywood. The amount of tough guys with a heart he played was astounding. Really one of the most underrated GOATs.
"He can cut through you like birthday cake".
Girrrrl you are hilarious!!! I'll never get tired of watching your videos, you always make me laugh, lol.
Interesting fact: the cop who says “this is 1L19” makes a cameo appearance in T2. He’s the guy with the camera taking pics of Arnold after he got thrown through the glass.
This is the most fun I've had with one of your reaction videos yet, Alanda. Any filmmaker would love to have you in the theater, eating whatever have you (butter popcorn with Junior Mints or M&Ms mixed in for me) and talking to the movie. ("Business is dead for Tech Noir. Ya'll will never sell another four dollar and fifty cent ticket again.") I appreciate your habit of using "sir" when talking to the screen. It never hurts to be polite, even when engaging fictional characters. Keep these videos coming.
Thank you so much!! 😄 Imma Sour Patch Kid, myself! And mama always said: kindness is key 😂
No CGI in this one. All puppets, models, stop motion, and hand drawn lasers/lightning. I love 80's movies for the craft and workmanship that go into the effects and prop work.
Definitely check out the sequel.
For another Cameron/Arnold collaboration, check out True Lies.
You are a great reactor; very enjoyable to watch. I feel like I'm sitting in the room watching the movie with a friend. You have a new subscriber. Can't wait to see you react to the sequel. :)

@@AlandaParker
thanks, I found and looked at your reaction to T2 using a US proxy)
This movie had a shoestring budget for its time (about 6 mil) so a lot of the alleyway scenes were shot in the middle of the night without a permit. Same thing goes for that amazing final shot; according to the DVD extras they got caught by the police, but they lied and said their son was doing a film school project. The cop ended up blocking traffic so they could finish the shot. Love this film and super obsessed with it. Wonderful reaction!!!!
Oh I love a guerrilla production! Extra points for saying it was a kids project 🤣🤣🤣
@@AlandaParker The retrospective on the DVD is full of awesome stuff like that-- the shooting schedule had to be scrapped at the last second and delayed for months because Schwarzenegger wasn't available. That led to a lot of improvising to get the shots they needed. Like the closeup at the end? That's a suit bag being zipped over Michael Biehn's face.
To me this movie was a story told in three parts within the movie. First part was Sarah being a regular woman just trying to make it as a waitress and didn’t have a care in the world. 2nd part was her being scared of two things at first, 1 was Kyle because he was initially rough with her and she didn’t understand at first why anyone would want to harm her. The second thing was her not wanting anything to do with being the legend that birth the world’s savior. The third part was her acceptance of the fate and when she slept with Kyle at the hotel, it in my opinion had everything come full circle for her to be a badass woman that Kyle heard about. I feel though he got to experience a bit of it towards the end when they were in the factory and she said quote “on your feet soldier, on your feet”.
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.
Saw this when it came out in the theaters. So many of those friends gone now. You and the others making these videos is like watching movies with friends again. Thank you.
Wow I appreciate that so much! 😊 so glad you're gettin joy with these! I certainly am too
You have to admit, the love scene between the main characters were..... So sensually romantic.😣😩😫🥵🥰💓
😂 They got it in for sure!
@@AlandaParker 😂🤣😭
I always thought it was cool that the moment the photograph of Sarah was taken and eventually caused Reese to fall in love with her, she was thinking of him. It's just one of those cool ways that the Terminator films play with time.
"that`s not what a girl wants to hear" LoL :)
For the police station, they were 'wrong genre savvy'. They thought it was some drugged up maniac or serial killer, so did all the right moves for that. They got the aid of the press, they told her to wait in a public space, they sent an officer there ASAP, and patrolled until thy found her. They did not anticipate the Terminator actually attacking the police station, but they still broke out the heavy weapons that would be used to punch through body armor. They thought they were in a slasher film, but they weren't
Can't we just pop the SD card out LOL! Great reaction!
Foreshadowing, LOL.
@Gray73 Alanda is showing serious signs of being psychic! :D
As far as I know you are the only one that caught the detail of the flesh decay on the terminator. After the precinct battle the flesh is dead. He is a walking corpse.
so gruesome yet so good 😩😂
Yes that was his real body. There is a photo of Arnold in white riding pants, black boots and no shirt on a horse. I drooled so hard over that picture. It was in a People magazine issue from way way back. 😋
"Baby's first pipe bomb" ... that's adorable
36:06 If you think Linda Hamilton was great in this one, she'll knock your socks off in Terminator II. Oscar winning performance right there!
Fun fact:Those Nike sneakers that Reese wore are called Vandals which evolved to the Air Force One sneaker
Also give True Lies a chance. Its James Cameron and it on amazon currently. Its a spy comedy. Love the channel.
Thanks! 😊 I'll check it out!
@@AlandaParker oh GOD YES...it was peak arnie era, hero, one liners...its held up as an example of pure action template in Americana from the 90s
True Lies is brilliant!
"Your Fired"
This was delightful. You are going to LOVE T2. I actually saw T2 before this when I was a kid--both films are so dang good. Also, if you're a fan of Gale Ann Hurd-produced things... you should IMMEDIATELY add the movie Tremors to your list, if it's not on there already.
Tremors is a great watch :D But also - The Abyss!
@@mikeisdead7137 Also one of my favorites!
I have Tremors on the list! I didn't know it was Gale! That woman don't seem to miss!!
By far my favorite reaction video to this movie. Her commentary was HILARIOUS. She was keeping it 100 haha
That “12 gauge auto-loader” is actually a really interesting piece of firearms technology. It’s a Special Purpose Automatic Shotgun 12 (SPAS-12) manufactured by the Italian firearms company Franchi. It can function as both a semi-automatic action and as a pump action.
My dad named me Reece after this lol
I always thought it was beautiful that Kyle was always wondering what she was thinking about when that picture was taken.... she was thinking of him
Ah the 80s--Pain don't hurt. I ain't got time to bleed. Just forget it.
🤣🥴 I learned so much about the mentality of the 80's from watching that Class Action Park doc on HBO
Kudos Alanda for watching the remastered version of the Terminator! A lot of folk were having a debate that this new version didn't sound the same as the original, but I watched the remastered version and loved every minute of it.
Great reaction video. In Terminator 2, Sarah is not one to be messed with. It truly is the best sci fi action movie sequel in existence. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
Thank you!! can't wait!
25:03 now imagine if those dogs had started going off even 2 minutes later considering what you were about to learn...
R.I.P Bill Paxton who starred as one of the thugs at the beginning.
Man, I can't WAIT for T2!!!!! Hope she does it soon - the anticipation is killing me. 😀👍
"Can't we just pop the SD card out?" lmao
Great reaction. You have a real way with words. Looking forward to seeing your reaction to T2.

"Baby's first pipe bomb" You killed me with that one. Subscribed.
This movie freaked out a couple of generations of people, regarding a.i. Facebook stopped an a.i. experiment when two a.i.'s started talking to each other in an unknown language, a language that had not been programmed into them. Facebook and Google continue to pursue a.i. along with other companies and governments. Something to think about.
Fortunately it may have freaked out people who are now in the senior leadership of the US military. I’ve heard that quite often the thought of making/deploying fully autonomous drones to the battlefield is considered. But the Pentagon leaders so far always vote it down.
They always vote for weapons system with a human being in charge of the final kill decision. They refer to this philosophical empasse as The Terminator Conundrum.
🥴
First off LOVE the reaction! I hit subscribe within 5 mins! Your comments made me laugh and smile.
I was 14 when this film came out and it is easily one of my top 5 favourite films. One of the most iconic movies of the 1980s. Arnold would have a heavy influence on my life-- I got into working out and competitive bodybuilding as I wanted to pattern my life after his. And while The Terminator was the villain in this film, a strange thing happened when the film hit the theatres in '84- audiences were cheering for Arnold... Especially during the police station shootout!
Arnold was asked about the phenomenon in an interview and why people would "cheer for the bad guy." His answer was that at one time or another we all would like to be a Terminator for a day and "get the job done."
Here's a tidbit of trivia--- when Kyle Reese is telling the police psychologist about the future, he says he was a soldier fighting the machines with the 132nd from (the years) "21" to "27"...
Which would mean he started fighting in the year 2021!
Also pleasantly surprised that you have watched the Sarah Connor Chronicles from 2008- I had a lot of love for that series and hated that they cancelled it on a cliffhanger.
Glad you're going to watch Terminator 2- I would recommend Commando (Arnold's next movie after The Terminator), Predator and True Lies.
Thanks! 😊
I didn't see all of the Sarah Connor Chronicles but absolutely loved what I did see. I've been looking to rewatch it and finish it but it sucks that it ends on a cliffhanger. I have Predator and True Lies on my list!
I love the arc of Sarah in this movie. She goes from a pushover to “I didn’t ask for this and I don’t WANT it” growl to “On your feet soldier, on your FEET” it’s beautiful.
34:36 there’s an extended scene that was on DVD features showing Sarah being loaded into the ambulance at the end, and as it drives off the camera pulls back showing the exterior of the building, and the company name CYBERDYNE...
One of the best twists that a good time travel story gives in the cyclical nature of time and the “self fulfilling prophecy”...Sarah comments at the end “if you don’t send Kyle you can never be”
I discovered your channel thanks to galaxy quest showing up in recommended, and can see you’ve already seen number two...but when Sarah is interviewed in the hospital “you don’t believe the company covered it up?” “No, why would they”
Cuts to the laboratory...the self fulfilling prophecy of it had to be THAT building they ran into???
In the extended ending we also see a couple of the factory workers have been called in (supervisors or managers), and they find some of the shrapnel, noting how advanced it is compared to “current tech”, even commenting “jap stuff maybe?” And a cop tells them not to touch anything as it may be evidence...
Gail Anne Hurd produced a lot of James Cameron movies. They may even have been married I think.
They were, and Hurd indeed would go on to produce Aliens and The Abyss, in addition to serving as an executive producer on Terminator 2.
@@moviemaestro800 Cameron has a history of marrying many women he has directed or produced a movie with
Indeed.
Excellent "reaction!" I didn't know that "first time viewing" with commentary could be so entertaining! I was twenty four when this film was released, but it never gets old watching the reactions of first time viewers!
Linda broke her ankle before the shoot. An assistant had to wrap her foot every day; her pained face as she runs down the alley behind Tech Noir was real.
OH GOD 😫
Oh, I didn't know that 😳.
@@reneedennis2011 Yeah, kinda sucks. If I remember, on the extras, producer Gale Anne Hurd talked about it. Also, Linda mentioned it in one of the T2 docs. She pulled a ligament.

It really hit me that 2029 is ONLY 8 years away! When this movie first came out and I saw it in the theater, it was the distant future!
They really had me on edge with that date 🥴
The future in back to the future is 7 years away.... but in the other direction
Ooo, wait til you see T2. Sarah is a complete BADASS. I love how this one ends with her driving _towards_ the storm. That sweet little waitress is gone and the heroine is born. :)
I legit am so excited to lay eyes on her again! She had no business being a waitress in the first freakin place 🤣. Let somebody try to put ice cream in her pocket now; they gettin body slammed.
@@AlandaParker sounds like somebody seen T2....😍 can't wait for the reaction to post 😎
I wish you didn't inform her how badass Sarah became.
@@jp3813 Right...that would’ve been obvious on the first scene of her💯
@@jp3813 And why should I care about your wishes? Besides, she's ALREADY a badass by the end of this movie, so you're just picking nits here, Sparky.
So glad you decided to watch this movie! This is peak-80's sci-fi, horror, action classic. Right up there with The Thing, for sure. If you liked this movie, I would highly recommend that you need to watch Alien, Aliens(another James Cameron film right there), and Robocop. I don't know if you've already seen any of those films yet, but if you haven't, they are all must-watches. The gold standard for films of this era. Obviously, you have to watch Terminator 2 now also. If you loved Linda Hamilton in this move, oh man, just wait till you see her in Terminator 2. She is next-level incomparable badass.
I love this movie so much. It's just so dirty and scrappy and raw. It's got that wonderful sheen of 80's grime all over it. And yeah, the special effects are plenty dated and a lot of it looks pretty silly today, like the weird Arnold puppet heads and the stop motion stuff, but it's all made with this wonderful sincerity. You can really tell that they're trying to squeeze every last drop of creativity and value out of their limited budget, and just trying to make the most awesome thing possible.
And of course you gotta mention Arnold! He was born to play this role. He may look like a human tank, and it's funny that an assassin robot has a thick Austrian accent for some reason, but he is so good as just this dead-eyed, soulless killing machine.
Also, a bit of trivia: James Cameron was apparently inspired to make this movie from a dream he had, where a skeleton was crawling out of a fire and chasing him. That definitely exactly describes the entire last scene of this movie. :P
Don't forget Predator from that's 80s action/scifi/horror-blend list! Not only is it more Schwarzenegger, but the eventual make-up lead for it (Stan Winston) was also the make-up lead for Terminator. In fact, it was James Cameron mentioning he'd love to see a creature with a certain anatomical feature that inspired the final design for the predator's face :D
@@Sara_Feingold Oh yeah you're right, I did forget Predator. It should totally be on that list too!
Definitely LOVE Alien/s, and I have Robocop on the list. Predator too, @Sara Feingold
And I completely agree, one of the best things about this movie is it's grit and sincerity. And of course Linda Hamilton is everything to me 😄 🙌🏾
I saw Robocop in the theatre and in the lobby on display was ED-209, so cool. A really forgotten sci-fi gem from the 80s is Innerspace, With Martin Short, Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan.
@@reesebn38 ED-209 should come back for theater etiquette. "Turn off your cell phones; you have 20 seconds to comply" XD

'He took a knife like bread takes butter" -> Just another example of the best reactor comments I have ever heard to movies. Such a joy to watch! Always makes my day to see a new reaction from you pop up on my subscription feed 👍
Fun facts about Gale Ann Hurd's involvement in this picture. She bought Cameron's script for this movie for a mere $1.00, with the condition being that only Cameron could direct, and only Hurd could produce, if a studio decided they were interested in giving this project the greenlight. The two had already befriended earlier as respective up-and-comers, and would even be married for a few years. Also, Hurd's screenwriting credit for this film was technically only in the form of suggested amendments to account for how guerilla this production was going to be, as producers are basically required to do anyway. So, despite not really writing much of anything in the script, her name was added to the screenwriting credit, supposedly, only to solidify the impression that this was be their project to make together, and thus convince execs that the two would be director and producer, respectively. I'm sure the resulting royalties didn't hurt either. Of course, Hurd does deserve a ton of credit for her ingenuity in ensuring that they didn't go overbudget, but still pulled off the scope and spectacle that Cameron had in mind, considering that this film was produced dirt cheap, as far as effects-heavy thriller movies go, even for the time.
Good information! Very interesting! Thanks man!😀👍
you got all the good facts! thank you! Gale's involvement was such a shock to me, and I had no idea they'd been married until about a day ago. I'm also shocked that the budget was so low. I mean you can tell in some places, but I chalked it up to the time more than anything. Even the "less expensive" looking aspects are so specific in their intent that they work perfectly in my opinion. Loving this movie more the more I find out about it!
Rather ironically, Terminator 2 would go down in history as the most expensive movie ever produced, up until that time; a record that James Cameron's subsequent two films would both break. That was why many predicted that Titanic would be a massive flop, when all the gossip about going way overbudget and overschedule made the film seem doomed to never make a profit for the studio. And then, it became the first ever movie to gross over a billion US dollars.
Yeah this movie is a masterpiece. They were able to perfectly capture a mood and a feel that many movies with Mega Budgets couldn't touch, even if they were going for the same vibe and had this recipe. It was just lightning in a bottle.
I just stumbled across this channel and OMG I am so glad I did! I can't wait to binge watch all the videos with Alanda! She is smart, witty, funny and full of personality! Thanks Alanda!!
Wait until you see Linda Hamilton in T2, it'll blow you away!!!
Can't wait!
Idk why I LOLed so hard when you said the machines gotta get a life lolz. One of the greatest movies, especially about something that could possibly happen.
19:17 -- you talk over the moment when Kyle Reese says he fought in the machine war under "Perry" from ... wait for it ... [20]21 to [20]27.
Sarah Connor Chronicles is a great addition to the lore==to a certain extent (even with the limitations of network TV) it was the perfect sequel to T1 & T2. Better than any the movies to come after.
Oh and if you love the idea of the future war, there's a first person video game set just before the final battle to take down Skynet.(EDIT) It might help if I gave the title of the game:
Terminator: Resistance.
After T2, the movies just kept getting worse and worse. The producers kept taking the story into some really contradictory directions.
The last movie Terminator: Dark Fate was the first Terminator movie that I never bothered to watch.
@@technopirate304 Same here--even with the others I watched them on demand rather than at the cinema but the new one? Why bother.

Well, Kyle Reese did say that the Terminator doesn't rest until the target is dead. It kinda makes sense that he won't quit even when he's blown in half.... 😬🤷

It should be noted that the ending here is what lead to the Terminator Multiverse. Kyle said Sarah fled south to wait out the fallout, but at the ending we see her driving towards the storm, which leads us right into the sequel, where she begins taking the fight to Cyberdyne.
Just a detail that most people don't catch.
'No fate but what we make' indeed...
Usually commentary is annoying but her's is highly entertaining. That impromptu ability is a talent.
Not gonna lie, I think I love you a lil bit. 😅 So good.
I'll throw the pipe bombs in this relationship! 😂😂😂
Awesome the first Terminator and the best
"He can cut through you like birthday cake" solid read on the situation Alanda!!!
"Awww, baby's first pipe bomb. 💣" I'm WEEPING 😭😂
Those Nikes started my shoe obsession back in the day.
I was really like "how do I get....?" 👀
Alanda!!! GREAT REACTION!!! Thanks so much for the volume so we could hear the movie. Lots of reactors turn themselves up and the movie down, but you had it one-for-one. You left in a lot of key points, and your reactions were funny and cute. I can not wait for you to see "T2..." The only thing that I had a little dissonance with was how you were kind of getting on Kyle at the beginning, but you warmed up to him. In the question session at the station, as the psychologist was quizzing Kyle, you were commenting on how Kyle was sounding crazy; but my reaction was that I thought the psychologist was a condescending jacka**, full of himself. Ever meet one of these people? You can tell them something you may specialize in and, because they don't have your specialized knowledge, they say, "Nahh, can't be; you sure?" Ever happen to you? Happens to me all the time. You see...I'm from 2029!
This really made my night. I'm going to go back and watch your face as you watch Arnold take out his eyeball. You know...putting your hand out like that blocks your view of the movie. Just sayin'! :) Oh am I gonna get popped!!!
Thank you so much!
It did take me a little minute to be sure I could trust Kyle. I was suspicious when he stole those pants from that homeless man 😂. And Yeah Dr. Silberman is a Grade A-hole. He had a mocking tone and was treating the whole thing like a game even though Kyle and Sarah were deeply traumatized. Kyle was sounding insane because the truth is insane. I wanted him to stop telling the non-believers so he could have a chance of escape. No one is going to believe you if you say you traveled from the future; least of all some law enforcement people 🥴. I'm just glad he knew he was gonna get them out no matter what he had to do
Such a great freakin movie!!!
"Oh! You got a lot of nerve!" Dead...just like Reese.
A huge pet peeve of mine in movies is when cops are useless or don’t exist at all (why does no one call cops in these movies!?) and this movie defies the trope. The LAPD immediately picks up on the fact that the killer is using the phone book and use the news media to warn her that she’s targeted. They come up with plausible (albeit wrong) explanations for his supernatural powers (body armor and PCP) and treat Kyle as a psychotic case, not a criminal one. And when the Terminator busts in; they immediately break out assault rifles and heroically try to protect Sarah.
I didn't watch your reactions since The Expanse. Damn, it's nice to see your joy again.
Btw, Linda later married (and divorced) with Cameroon.
You definitely need to watch The Terminator 2, one of the best sequels in movie history - and last with Cameroon as director - Linda did also quit, but she came back for new one - didn't watch yet.
Terminator 3, 4... if you don't have time, there is no need to loose some, but it's OK if you just want something to kill some. Again, I didn't watch last one, so I cannot judge about this one.
P.S. It's nice to hear that Ty and That Guy are educative.
Fun facts: The voice of the guy on the answering machine is James Cameron.
James didn't get permits for some of the stunt scenes such as smashing the station wagon window. I wonder if he was able to do multiple takes. LOL
A majority of the men on the set were in love with Linda Hamilton. Particularly Michael Biehn. But James Cameron got the girl. They were married for a couple of years.
If I was on that set I woulda been in line for Linda too 😂
Terminator springs back to life.... "You gotta a lot a nerve" LOL.
Earlier the police officer mentioned that her mother was on the way from Big Bear. I'm sure she did not return home. The Terminator probably broke into her cabin and sampled her voice from the answering machine. So, Sarah's mother might be alive and well.
Thank heavens!!!!! 😭😭😭
Three of these actors were in Aliens. Check out the sequel and The Sara Connor Chronicles (tv series)
1:25
I watched the chronicles, but kinda wished I hadn't as it ends abruptly due to cancelled series...
Funniest thing is he is a cyborg who has perfect aim, yet for movie purposes, cause it looks cool, they have him use a gun with a laser sight that he doesn't need.
Exactly the laser sight was overkill like crazy.
In the novel it’s mentioned that during the police station shootout some of the Terminator kills were not done via line of sight.
Any person the Terminator sees for a few seconds gets actively tracked as a potential target. So even if you duck behind a wall, it will simply shoot towards a statistically probable location.
For something with perfect aim, he sure misses his target a lot.
@@Winchester427 Plot Armor aim offset comes online once the Terminator engages the main protagonist and secondary protagonist. It’s a hidden feature 😉
"He can cut through you like birthday cake."
Can you offer descriptions as a service? Someone just calls you up, says what's happening and you sum it up perfectly.
🤣 Alanda's Analogies at your service
"I came across time for you" is a really underused pickup line.
This is my favorite one. Most people choose the 2nd over the 1st but I think the first has a better story.
Definitely
I'm excited to see the second one and compare!
Great movie. The photograph at the end always tears me up inside: a brilliant piece of plotting and a hopelessly romantic touch to what was essentially a low-budget action movie. The sequel is just as good, if five times the size of the original, and if you liked Linda Hamilton's performance here, you won't believe how far she goes emotionally in Terminator 2.
I'm DEAD EXCITED for T2!
@@AlandaParker Hey, are you planning on setting up a Patreon account any time soon? I love your stuff, and would love to talk with you more, especially if it came down to what you were planning to watch in the near future. I was a critic in another life, and used to love sharing movies with people I enjoyed (in the great before times, pre-COVID), provided they were worth my time, which you most certainly are.
"Sedate me." Girl, don't put that hex on her.
FIRST TIME WATCHING????? Whaaaaaat? Awwww you innocent lil baby.......I can’t even my first time watching......actually I can....many moons ago....a CLASSIC.
Wow, I am impressed. The first movie reaction where I see someone pick up on things, like why the terminator lost the eyebrows or why the resistance base have dogs at the door. Finally someone with brains! :D Good reaction. See you at your reaction of T2 :P
😂 Thank you!!
The Terminator one of my favorite movies of all time. Great reaction Alanda.
You never disappoint ..... Be Safe😷
Thank you! I loved it! and you too!!!
Couple fun facts. 1) The Lt. says to Sarah that they have 30 cops in the building. If you count the number of times the Terminator opens fire, both on screen, and just us hearing gun fire in the distance, the number comes to 30.
2) The Terminator puppet from the end fight was actually made of steel. This was because of a miscommunication with the props department. The intent was to make it of lighter materials, and paint it chrome. When it came back made of steel, it took 4 men to lift. Not a good thing when this film, being very low budget, was often shot without the proper permits. So it was far from ideal when they had an 800 pound prop and had to film quickly, then split before the cops showed up.
Those poor 30 🥴. I love the precision of detail!!!
and Oh my GOD! that is honestly amazing that they created an 800lb steel build of that robot. I would be fighting tooth and nail to be the one that got to take it home from set 😂
25:04 if those dogs started barking a few minutes later after the dream Itd wouldve been perfect timing
