I've seen The Terminator over a 100 times. Just a exciting and entertaining movie
Also, the dog that was the terminator detecter in the future and the dog at the hotel and riding with Sarah Conner in the jeep at the end was actually James Camron’s personal pet.
Actually you're wrong. The dog was actually Gale Anne Hurd's mother's dog (later James Cameron's mother in law), she even says that in the dvd documentary. Linda didn't actually drive off into the storm at the end, that was Gale's PA Polly Apostolof, the Jeep belonged to Gene Warren, head of Fantasy II Effects. It seemed a crazy time for guerilla filmmaking! Even the Toshiba tape recorder Sarah spoke into belonged to James Cameron! It really seemed like a case of "let's go make a movie!".....without realising just how iconic and influential The Terminator would ultimately be. I still can't believe it cost 6.5 million dollars to make. The first Alien cost 8.5 million dollars. Now films cost hundreds of millions and still don't deliver, it's all flashy CGI, and flat story. A good story, ingenuity, vision and intention can really deliver the goods.
@@mistermatix8241 my bad.good catch.
@@ryanworkman3032 no worries, I didn't mean anything bad or make you look daft, I'm a HUGE HUGE fan of the franchise.
I love your channel! Great content. Liked and subbed.
Thank you for sharing
When it was first released a friend, who was a computer programmer, told me what prcessor chip the code shown on-screen for the progam runing the teminator was. I can't rememner which, but it was a simple 8 bit one. So much for progress!!!
LOL, the "six million dollar dog" went over well
Nice job! U delivered as advertised; these were new facts I had never heard before.
Fascinating🤔.
10:10 / 10:20 "Attention to detail"
After the terminator say's "I'll be back",
Cop goes back to paperwork, stops writing, looks up, when we see him open mouthed, there's headlights reflecting off the glass on the partitioning. But when the car is still outside the doors, there are no headlights illuminated....
Okay. How is "Tech Noir" distinguished from Cyberpunk?
One thing that nobody EVER mentions, or even acknowledges: After the truck blows up, a burning figure staggers out and collapses on a patch of bare ground. A few moments later as Sarah and Reese hug, the terminator rises up from UNDER some debris. Also, closeups of the burning skull make it look more human than machine. Was there someone else in the truck, and that subplot was removed, or is this a big continuity goof on Cameron's part? And why does nobody EVER notice it?
As for the terminator not speaking much, I actually think they should have cut the lines "Wrong." and "I'll be back." as there was no logical reason for him to say either. Why would a machine determine the need to say anything to a human it was about to kill? Same with the cop at the desk. The cop wasn't paying any attention to it, so it could have just walked out.
I'll defend the first few lines it says to the punks though, as it deciding that making small talk with them would attract less attention and would carry less risk of its disguise being damaged, than outright conflict, makes sense.
"19 Sacrificed fingers" I can't find any other videos or info on this. It seems to me that a human could not fit inside that Terminator exoskeleton. I thought that was all just special effects...
Lol already a great episode. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the work James Cameron! Respect!
Lol a christmas card.
Learned something new: Tech noir, time for Blade runner again 8-)
Check out a short story by E Van Vogt: The vault of the beast written in 1940 . The similarities between Terminator 2 are surely too much of a coincidence.
You'll be back!
Cameron admitted in an on-set interview that he "ripped off" some ideas for the inspiration and even named Ellison. So that's why Ellison sued. However, had Cameron not said that, which was arguably him being flippant about his inspiration, Ellison wouldn't have had a case. What serves as inspiration and what is actually a ripoff is a pretty clear distinction and 'The Terminator' is clearly not a direct ripoff of anything. It obviously had multiple influences and Cameron melded them together artfully in the best tradition of inspired artists who take what has come before and push it in new directions.
Cameron NEVER said that. The interview doesn't exist anywhere and I've looked for it. Ellison was sue happy. They settled out of court over the matter so the movie wouldn't bomb. Ive seen the TV episode Soldier and the only thing it and Terminator have in common are time travel.
@@phoenix21studios In the early 70's there was an episode of Doctor Who where future soldiers travel back in time to change their history.
When the lawsuit happened with Cameron the writers of that episode were kind of worried they might be next.
@@user-wm3bf7pi3u very interesting!
I don't believe the two Terminator thing. Are you saying the good Terminator would have replaced Kyle Reece? That wouldn't have worked because half the reason Kyle Reece was there was to father John Connor. Was the original plan for Linda Hamilton to get pregnant from robot Arnie? 😂
That's true. It was NEVER going to be 2 Armies in T1, it was always going to be Kyle Reese. T2 was always going to be 2 Terminators, originally it was going to be Arnie and an endoskeleton only version, but:
Metal cannot travel via Time Displacement Equipment
How the hell would an endoskeleton assimilate into normal society?
Really? A Donny Trump add? I love your content, but WTF?
