john connor KNEW kyle was his father when he met him in the future, because sarah told him! thats why john was telling kyle about sarah and gave him the picture. because he knew he would send him back in time and kyle would fall in love with her there. and sarah was a bit idealising him because of the whole situation they met. but kyle was very different than every man she ever met in her live. he was true, honest strong, but at the same time sad and vulnerable. i buy it, that she fell in love with him.
Like Sarah said, "In the few hours we had together, we loved a lifetimes worth." She fell in love with Kyle's honesty, bravery and devotion - he gave his life for her and his unborn son - and it was clear he loved her fiercely.
Regarding the paradox, there's a deleted scene from the end of the movie where some factory workers find an advanced computer chip from the Terminator. Outside we realize the factory is owned by Cyberdyne Systems. Therefore, Skynet would have never existed if the Terminator wasn't sent back. It forms a perfect causal loop and is a testament to James Cameron's excellent writing.
There's also the fact that Reese almost certainly fucked humanity into extinction by preventing John Connor from being born since there's no telling who the father was in the original unaltered timeline that experienced no future intervention.
There's an even bigger deleted scene where Sarah looks up Cyberdyne Systems in the phone book and convinces Reese they should destroy the factory. It wasn't a coincidence they ended up there.
"His motivation for loving her is from that one picture?"Well, one picture and the person he looked up to most was inspired by her, as was the entire Resistance to some extent.
Kyle and Sarah are soul mates joined together by “destiny” in its most technical sense: a temporal causality loop embedded in space-time. The greatest love story in film, IMO.
Well, Kyle was 19, a boy without childhood, all his life was the war, and Sarah, the mother of his leader, was so diferent, so unreal for him, so he fell in love with just one photo. But be sure, Kyle wouldn't deny to come back in past even if he wouldn't love her, course it was his duty to save Sarah and all the humanity.
T1 and T2 are some of my favorite movies, but I grew up with them and can't remember my authentic reaction too well. I envy you for being able to watch these with fresh eyes!
The movie that catapulted Arnold to stardom! Onto the superior sequel Terminator 2! Also try the director’s other 80s masterpiece Aliens (have to watch Alien by Ridley Scott first).
Ummm no.. T1 is better... lol but i have no quarrels with T2 fans. Its clearly epic af. It was my fav too. But after watching both over the years. T1 is now more impressive to me, might just be the vibes & score of 80's
and also Skynet created himself, thanks to the T-800 smashed micro-chip which Cyberdine Systems recovers from the remains of the T-800 smashed by the hydraulic press, which tells new ideas and directions to Mikes Dison in order to create an AI to comands the millitary operations in the US Military department which is Skynet, its a full paradox
You should definitely watch Terminator 2. Arnold is back and you would love it. T-2 is directed by James Cameron and the second movie is rated one of the best 5 movies EVER made! You need to see it. Great review!!
@@jordanwright2313 terminator was better movie the graphics were great the story was great everything about the first one but better first very good not as good
Seriously, you are a natural at this. Not just the reactions but how you reflect on certain moments during the movie(s). The best things about your videos are your thoughts and reviews after each movie. So much better than most ”professional” reviewers.
The machine at the end was a mixture of stop motion and an animatronic puppet rig that someone wore on their shoulder. All close ups of the machine are a full sized endoskeleton, that’s why those shots look smoother.
In the UK when Terminator was released in 1984 it was rated 18. When T2 was released is 1991 it was rated 15, so a lot of teens who watched T2 hadn’t seen the first movie, I wasn’t one of them I was 8 in ‘84 and my mum worked in a video rental shop of which I had almost limitless access to movies. Good times....
I didn't appreciate the love story aspect of this movie much when I was younger. I first saw this movie back in the 80s when I was a kid. As an adult, though, I love the beautiful tragic love story of it. Kyle Reese spent his life falling in love with a picture and the legend of Sarah Connor. Then the option to actually meet her happened, and he crossed time to do so, getting to meet the woman of his dreams, even if it was before she was the legend. Sarah fell in love with this soldier from the future, who was the only one who could protect her from this unstoppable killing machine. Kyle gave his life for her. And she would spend the rest of her life loving him. He mentioned the picture to her, saying that she looked sad in it, and he wondered what she was thinking of at that moment. Then in the epilogue, we see the picture being taken. She was thinking of him at that exact moment.

First time seeing this movie? This is one of the best films ever made. Also T2 turns 30. I also grew up with the first two films and one of the best there is. There's not gonna be another great Terminator film after T1 and T2.
Dude I like your style. Got your snacks, dimming the lights according to the color scheme of the movie poster. You got a real unique way of reacting to content that is simple but very different than others I have seen on YT. You keep reacting and I'll keep showing up.
Since your talking about liking Arnold ... you should watch "Conan The Barbarian" ... it's action packed and tells a classic Hero Journey story. Critics panned Arnold's acting in it ... but they were just wrong. He plays his character perfectly and the cinematography was amazing with a great supporting cast including James Earl Jones (Darth Vaders voice) as the antagonist. It's a fucking Tour De Force with a fantastic original score by the master Basil Poledouris who's score filmography is beyond belief ... It's an absolute must if you like Ahnold.
The Terminator was the first major film James Cameron directed, and Aliens was his second. Prior to making The Terminator, James Cameron was broke, bordering on being homeless, and having MacDonald’s coupons mailed to him by relatives so he could eat. He got the idea for the movie from a fever dream in which he saw the endoskeleton of the terminator, which he drew after waking up. Brad Fiedel wrote the music for the first two Terminator films. Notice how in this film, during the final confrontation, as the terminator becomes less human looking and as the story gets more and more like a horror film, the music gets more and more dissonant and intentionally uncomfortable as the scenes play on. Very good composing. If you recall, Kyle Reese told Sarah how he always thought she looked kind of sad in the picture he had of her, and how he always wondered what she was thinking in that moment. That scene at the end of the film reveals that she looked sad because she was thinking about him and how he died trying to save her life and, as a result, would never know he was John Connor’s father. That’s a lot to take in from an audience perspective, and really great story writing. There’s a reason this film has stood the test of time (probably a few reasons, and no time pun intended).
That was so great, reliving this masterpiece with you. First time seeing one of your videos, instant subscription. Love your insight and comments, you're a natural at this, I look forward to seeing you watch Alien and Aliens, if you haven't already. The sequel, Aliens is yet another James Cameron masterpiece. He shows respect to the original, doesn't violate cannon, and delivers a sequel that is equal to the original... Terminator 2 is even better than the original, look forward to watching you get your mind blown. Do you do music as well, hmmm, off to see your playlists.. 5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐! New favorite!
Thank you so much! Terminator 2 will be on Monday! I have seen alien and aliens which has gotten me really excited to watch T2 because James Cameron managed to deliver a sequel to film that expands on the original while still paying homage to it. He even made it still feel like an Alien movie even though Aliens is way more of an action movie compared to Alien which still amazes me and why it is one of my favourite Sci-Fi movies!
@@RolyPolyOllieReactions Another good sci-fi movie to put on the list is an adaptation of Robert Heinlein's "The Puppet Masters" with Donald Sutherland, also "Invasion Of The Body Snatchers" 70's version.. Have you ever seen the sci-fi film "Silent Running" with Bruce Dern from 1972? Amazing for it's time. Alien 3 was so bad and awful, not worth mentioning... but Alien 4 (Resurrection) had some worthwhile ideas and a great cast Sigorney Weaver, Ron Pearland, Winona Ryder, the script was good and surprising. A4 wasn't great, but it was worth seeing, imo... Looking forward to T2!!!
@@scottcortmeister4164 I have not seen any of those movies but they are definitely movies that I would be interested in watching. Thank you for the suggestions!!
As far as all the Terminator movies go, in my world, only two exist. It isn't two much a of a stretch to think of *The Sarah Conner Chronicles* TV show as the real continuation of the story. Good series that was canceled way too soon. Worth a watch.
You know for someone as young as you, your taste in films, reactions, insights, and reviews are fantastic. There are only 2 reactors here that are the best and you're 1 of the 2 and deserve more views!
Arnold originally read for the part of Kyle Reese, and the Terminator role was considered for O.J. Simpson, but he didn't get the part because he was considered to be "too nice."
In the first timeline, John's father would have been some random guy. Then he would've had a relatively normal life until the war. Then Kyle would've been sent back to 1984 to protect Sarah and became John's father, creating another timeline where Sarah anticipates the war and tells John about Kyle, John gives Kyle the photo, Kyle falls in love with Sarah and volunteers to go back, which creates the timeline in the film. Then Terminator 2 happens and creates another timeline. And that's all of the Terminator films.
It's human nature when faced with death and destruction to reaffirm life and by extension love. THAT'S why a lot of children are conceived and born during wars. So with Kyle as Sarah's protector and the only 'sanity' in the death and horror surrounding her, it's just logical she would reach out to him to 'reaffirm' life with him. Same with Kyle, except his instinct was more "if I die, at least I've left a piece of myself behind." It's not necessarily love they have for each other, with Kyle telling her he loved her and she feeling strongly dependent on him, she may have TOLD herself she is in love with him, and Kyle fell in love with a PHOTO, a photo of a beautiful 'innocent' 'pure' woman, the only thing calm and innocent in the desolation of their world. Think about it, they are the ONLY ONES who can do this. They have to rely on each other to survive, everyone else will just be killed-it's a "it's-you-and-me-against-the-world" thing.
Can’t send clothes back in time. It’s explained in 2 (maybe 1) that only organic living tissue can be sent back. So no weapons, unless the weapon is also encased in living tissue.
Would have been a fun joke for a red-shirted guy in the Transporter Room of The Enterprise to push the "clothes come off" button when send Mr Spock and Capt Kirk down to a explore a new planet in Star Trek, though on Star Date 2022.4.1
Great video! Man, I really could just listen to you talk for forever and a day. As far as the film goes, and I'm sure you've way figured this out by now, John Connor plays a pivotal role behind the scenes. At the end, when Sarah is making the tapes for John, she tells him the Kyle is his father and that John will have to send Kyle back. That's why John gives Kyle the photo of Sarah in the first place. Can you imagine how weird it must be to meet your father and send him back in time to meet your mother? Anyway, I love your videos. Thanks for taking the time and giving your viewers such great content. Peace!
If you havent seen Robocop, Aliens, Terminator, Predator, the first two movies are super fun in those franchises. Also True Lies and Starship troopers are great classics that still hold up if you havent caught them.
Time Displacement Equipment, the subject must be a living organism (or must be surrounded by living tissue) in order to generate the bioelectric field needed for the TDE to operate. Nothing else can go through time, not even clothes.
After this one, Terminator 2 is the next best one... the movies after Terminator 2 are considered alternate timelines, until Terminator Dark Fate, which James Cameron has considered the official direct sequel to Terminator 2.
Check out Arnold’s “Commando” for a fun over-the-top action movie with lots of violence and good one-liners. For another good sci-fi Arnold movie watch “Total Recall”.
Grandfather paradoxes and branching timelines are a recurring theme in the Terminator Franchise as well as Cold War fears about nuclear holocaust and The Film`s themes also played a major role in the Y2k hysteria.
You also need to check out Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles (the TV series 2 seasons....) The good news is it is a time travel saga so it doesn't matter everything Exist in multiple parallel timelines.... Nothing contradicts, And you can disregard anything you don't like.
The end of this movie is so emotional to me that it makes me cry every time now. Kyle was in love with Sarah because of a photo of her and the photo was taken when she was thinking about her love for him.
I tend to think that if a paradox where to happen, then that timeline would collapse on itself and the corrected timeline would be happening simultaneously and continue from that point. No one would know that the other timeline happened, because it has now been erased. Just my way of cleaning up a movie paradox.
Arnold is even faster than you think. The song "Burnin I the 3rd degree" is 3:38 mns long and had already started when she arrived and he gets there before the song ends. Thats fast.
So glad you enjoyed this movie and I'm glad that I found your channel. I love seeing the quote-unquote younger generation find and watch these movies for the first time. I haven't washed your T2 video yet but it is next on my list. Also glad you found the Karate Kid. Make sure to check out the Alien franchise if you haven't seen them and don't forget Back to the Future. Oh, and Ghostbusters!
Also some interesting info for you, Lance Henriksen oh, the guy that played the white cop, was originally envisioned by James Cameron to be the Terminator and not Arnold. OJ Simpson was also looked at as a possible to play The Terminator. Another thing that little twist your mind is that the movie we see it's actually a third time line, you have the original timeline, then a second which slightly Alters the first and then this movie which will make a continuation timeline.
Regarding the speed at which Sarah fell in love with Kyle, in 1993 I met a young woman at a camp retreat. We were instantly attracted to each other, spent the entire day (about 10hrs) just wandering the park & talking. We were definitely in love with each other at the end of that day & we didn't even have to escape any Terminators. The relationship ended in 1995, but it started that day. It happens.
Like this one best because it was low budget and you see things more "as they are," especially the "present LA", since I've lived there and the gritty side of the city is what I knew best.
Ok that was funny lol 😂 You were talking about how smooth Arnold looked. He could almost be cgi. Break to ad lol smooth Lindor chocolates lol perfect timing
Your time travel commentary is wrong it doesn't create a *paradox* it creates an alternative timeline this is explained rather well in the *(back to the future)* movies
Just because you called this a horror movie, you earn a new subscriber lol, I've been defending that The Terminator is actually a sci fi horror movie for years now
With all the jump scares and tense moments; you would think this was a horror film. HAHA. Seriously; one of my favorite 80s action/scifi film. 2 is also great, but on a totally different level
I agree about the time travel paradox - but I think pretty much any (backward) time travel story ends up with some kind of logical road block. Regarding her being in love, I would say that after everything was over and with Kyle being dead, a few months later she might begin to reinterpret the narrative and project back different feelings - that is what we do. Yes. T2 is the end of the good stuff. Some of the others are OK, but following great with ok doesn't really work.
If you want to make a good villain 🦹🏻♂️ let him kill people you like in the 🎥 . He is a danger ⚠️ not a cool 😎 character you root for to win. I love the fact we never see the Time Maschine. Imagination 💭 Great Reaction!! 🙋🏼♂️
Reese almost certainly prevented John Connor from being born. Who was the father in the original timeline that experienced no interference from the future?
Loved the Terminator movies especially 1 and 2 didn't really care much for the other ones except maybe a little bit of Salvation and a little bit of Genesis that's about it one of the reasons that got into weightlifting Arnold now I'm pretty much the same size as he was in the first Terminator
I have Subscribed, looking forward to more of your videos. I must say I agree with others and think you should increase the volume of the movie so we can hear it better. I think you will like T2. Have you seen Alien? 😁
You talk about sci-fi movies that create paradoxes. Dude, THIS was the sci-fi movie that all other future sci-fi movies modeled their time travel paradox ideas from. 💡 Folks tend to forget this was 1984. Just sayn'. -OG
Never mind about my last comment about watching Terminator 2, i see you already did a reaction to T-2. Gonna watch it now! Lol I guess I've got some catching up to do
Funny how the reaction videos of millenials are always "what, he got in love because of just 1 picture?" In 1984, pictures were rare and held much more value than a pic of someone today when people make thousands of selfies. It was already magical to have a picture of someone, so it wasn't far-fetched to fall in love with someone based on such a picture.
Yeah, time travel will make you cross-eyed if you go into it too deeply. You should react to HOT TUB TIME MACHINE if you've never seen it. Greatest time travel movie ever.
Yeah, most folks agree T1 & T2 are the best. All the other sequels have great action but fall severely short on story. All the sequels after T2 recognize the first two Terminator films. But none of them recognize each other. They all want to be that perfect 3rd Terminator installment. Try as they might. But that's as far as they go. -OG
cool reaction. go into these movies blind and you won't be disappointed- breakdown with Kurt Russell, double jeopardy with tommie lee jones, Frequency with Denis Quaid and the Game with Michael Douglas. all fantastic 90s movies
john connor KNEW kyle was his father when he met him in the future, because sarah told him! thats why john was telling kyle about sarah and gave him the picture. because he knew he would send him back in time and kyle would fall in love with her there. and sarah was a bit idealising him because of the whole situation they met. but kyle was very different than every man she ever met in her live. he was true, honest strong, but at the same time sad and vulnerable. i buy it, that she fell in love with him.

Arnold was never the greatest actor in the world, but I think a lot of people reacted negatively to his accent and were overly critical.
“If you want to live, come with me,” was uttered by Arnold in T2. If the terminator could change his voices, he could shapeshift too, yep, in T2.
I really look forward to seeing more of these older classic movies reaction from you. Love the way you see them and talk about them. Keep it up :)
Thank you so much!!
The Terminator was the first major film James Cameron directed, and Aliens was his second. Prior to making The Terminator, James Cameron was broke, bordering on being homeless, and having MacDonald’s coupons mailed to him by relatives so he could eat. He got the idea for the movie from a fever dream in which he saw the endoskeleton of the terminator, which he drew after waking up.
Brad Fiedel wrote the music for the first two Terminator films. Notice how in this film, during the final confrontation, as the terminator becomes less human looking and as the story gets more and more like a horror film, the music gets more and more dissonant and intentionally uncomfortable as the scenes play on. Very good composing.
If you recall, Kyle Reese told Sarah how he always thought she looked kind of sad in the picture he had of her, and how he always wondered what she was thinking in that moment. That scene at the end of the film reveals that she looked sad because she was thinking about him and how he died trying to save her life and, as a result, would never know he was John Connor’s father. That’s a lot to take in from an audience perspective, and really great story writing. There’s a reason this film has stood the test of time (probably a few reasons, and no time pun intended).
James Cameron follow up, Aliens, is just as AMAZING!
That was so great, reliving this masterpiece with you. First time seeing one of your videos, instant subscription. Love your insight and comments, you're a natural at this, I look forward to seeing you watch Alien and Aliens, if you haven't already. The sequel, Aliens is yet another James Cameron masterpiece. He shows respect to the original, doesn't violate cannon, and delivers a sequel that is equal to the original...
Terminator 2 is even better than the original, look forward to watching you get your mind blown.
Do you do music as well, hmmm, off to see your playlists..
5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐! New favorite!
Thank you so much! Terminator 2 will be on Monday! I have seen alien and aliens which has gotten me really excited to watch T2 because James Cameron managed to deliver a sequel to film that expands on the original while still paying homage to it. He even made it still feel like an Alien movie even though Aliens is way more of an action movie compared to Alien which still amazes me and why it is one of my favourite Sci-Fi movies!
@@RolyPolyOllieReactions Another good sci-fi movie to put on the list is an adaptation of Robert Heinlein's "The Puppet Masters" with Donald Sutherland, also "Invasion Of The Body Snatchers" 70's version..
Have you ever seen the sci-fi film "Silent Running" with Bruce Dern from 1972? Amazing for it's time.
Alien 3 was so bad and awful, not worth mentioning... but Alien 4 (Resurrection) had some worthwhile ideas and a great cast Sigorney Weaver, Ron Pearland, Winona Ryder, the script was good and surprising. A4 wasn't great, but it was worth seeing, imo... Looking forward to T2!!!
@@scottcortmeister4164 I have not seen any of those movies but they are definitely movies that I would be interested in watching. Thank you for the suggestions!!
Roly this one of my favorite movies back in the day! Glad you are discovering the series.
The series about Sarah Conner is good too. Ends suddenly sadly, but I enjoyed it for what it was.
"This guy seems like a person, so I think he's... a person"
He's right ya know lol
Ya know the crazy thing?When the "War on Terror" started, the Air Force secretly approved a semi-autonomous defense supercomputer.Its name?SKYNET.
As far as all the Terminator movies go, in my world, only two exist.
It isn't two much a of a stretch to think of *The Sarah Conner Chronicles* TV show as the real continuation of the story. Good series that was canceled way too soon. Worth a watch.
You know for someone as young as you, your taste in films, reactions, insights, and reviews are fantastic. There are only 2 reactors here that are the best and you're 1 of the 2 and deserve more views!
They can't be teleported back in time with clothes on, because clothes are not living like human flesh is.
Arnold originally read for the part of Kyle Reese, and the Terminator role was considered for O.J. Simpson, but he didn't get the part because he was considered to be "too nice."
That's a great fact to know!
"If they can change their voices, can they change their appearances? Because, that would be cool."
:D My favorite comment!
Anything that is not living or not inside living flesh can not be sent back in time that is why they are naked when they travel back in time
It was essentially the first movie where JC was in control of everything he wanted, from story line down.
In the first timeline, John's father would have been some random guy. Then he would've had a relatively normal life until the war.
Then Kyle would've been sent back to 1984 to protect Sarah and became John's father, creating another timeline where Sarah anticipates the war and tells John about Kyle, John gives Kyle the photo, Kyle falls in love with Sarah and volunteers to go back, which creates the timeline in the film.
Then Terminator 2 happens and creates another timeline. And that's all of the Terminator films.
It's human nature when faced with death and destruction to reaffirm life and by extension love. THAT'S why a lot of children are conceived and born during wars. So with Kyle as Sarah's protector and the only 'sanity' in the death and horror surrounding her, it's just logical she would reach out to him to 'reaffirm' life with him. Same with Kyle, except his instinct was more "if I die, at least I've left a piece of myself behind." It's not necessarily love they have for each other, with Kyle telling her he loved her and she feeling strongly dependent on him, she may have TOLD herself she is in love with him, and Kyle fell in love with a PHOTO, a photo of a beautiful 'innocent' 'pure' woman, the only thing calm and innocent in the desolation of their world. Think about it, they are the ONLY ONES who can do this. They have to rely on each other to survive, everyone else will just be killed-it's a "it's-you-and-me-against-the-world" thing.
Can’t send clothes back in time. It’s explained in 2 (maybe 1) that only organic living tissue can be sent back. So no weapons, unless the weapon is also encased in living tissue.
Would have been a fun joke for a red-shirted guy in the Transporter Room of The Enterprise to push the "clothes come off" button when send Mr Spock and Capt Kirk down to a explore a new planet in Star Trek, though on Star Date 2022.4.1
your dog left because he didn't want to see the dogs die
Great video! Man, I really could just listen to you talk for forever and a day. As far as the film goes, and I'm sure you've way figured this out by now, John Connor plays a pivotal role behind the scenes. At the end, when Sarah is making the tapes for John, she tells him the Kyle is his father and that John will have to send Kyle back. That's why John gives Kyle the photo of Sarah in the first place. Can you imagine how weird it must be to meet your father and send him back in time to meet your mother? Anyway, I love your videos. Thanks for taking the time and giving your viewers such great content. Peace!
If you havent seen Robocop, Aliens, Terminator, Predator, the first two movies are super fun in those franchises. Also True Lies and Starship troopers are great classics that still hold up if you havent caught them.
Starship troopers and true lies are definitely movies I’ll be checking out at some point!
I think Terminator knew that its right Sarah Connor, because the defender was came out and protecting her
It was also the only Sarah Connor in the phone book he hadn't killed yet. Just being thorough by killing them all.
Time Displacement Equipment, the subject must be a living organism (or must be surrounded by living tissue) in order to generate the bioelectric field needed for the TDE to operate. Nothing else can go through time, not even clothes.
After this one, Terminator 2 is the next best one... the movies after Terminator 2 are considered alternate timelines, until Terminator Dark Fate, which James Cameron has considered the official direct sequel to Terminator 2.
Holy Shshit if you loved this, you're gonna love ALIENS.
Just found your channel. Time to binge, keep up the great work friend!
Check out Arnold’s “Commando” for a fun over-the-top action movie with lots of violence and good one-liners. For another good sci-fi Arnold movie watch “Total Recall”.
Grandfather paradoxes and branching timelines are a recurring theme in the Terminator Franchise as well as Cold War fears about nuclear holocaust and The Film`s themes also played a major role in the Y2k hysteria.
From your comments about film im possitive wed get along lol also,your editing is very good.
You also need to check out Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles (the TV series 2 seasons....)
The good news is it is a time travel saga so it doesn't matter everything Exist in multiple parallel timelines.... Nothing contradicts, And you can disregard anything you don't like.
have to react to terminator 2 as-well one of the greatest movies ever!!!
Funnily enough, in "Salvation" and "Genisys" they did CGI this version of Arnold onto similarly-built actors!
And Dark Fate too.
Great reaction. I mostly agree with your thoughts at the end.
Arnold schwarzenegger was a bodybuilder before movies.
Arnold won the Mr Universe competition when he was just 19, with a little help from his "friends".
The end of this movie is so emotional to me that it makes me cry every time now. Kyle was in love with Sarah because of a photo of her and the photo was taken when she was thinking about her love for him.
I just subscribed.
Enjoying your reactions.
And love your t-shirt with balloons. 😊
Thank you so much!!
There's a storm coming......
I tend to think that if a paradox where to happen, then that timeline would collapse on itself and the corrected timeline would be happening simultaneously and continue from that point. No one would know that the other timeline happened, because it has now been erased. Just my way of cleaning up a movie paradox.
Arnold Ad-libbed the I'll Be Back line
Terminator 1: Horror Sci Fi. Terminator 2: Action Sci Fi.
Terminator 3: Garbage Sci Fi.
@@shyne187 lets hope,some day good T3 will be born......
Im pretty sure that 7.62 round either knicked or put a hole through one of kyle's lungs. It would explain his lack of breath and extream weakness.
It would’ve actually been a 5.56mm round since the gun Arnie was shooting was an AR-18.
Great reaction. You should do scream next!
Arnold is even faster than you think. The song "Burnin I the 3rd degree" is 3:38 mns long and had already started when she arrived and he gets there before the song ends. Thats fast.
So glad you enjoyed this movie and I'm glad that I found your channel. I love seeing the quote-unquote younger generation find and watch these movies for the first time. I haven't washed your T2 video yet but it is next on my list. Also glad you found the Karate Kid. Make sure to check out the Alien franchise if you haven't seen them and don't forget Back to the Future. Oh, and Ghostbusters!
Also some interesting info for you, Lance Henriksen oh, the guy that played the white cop, was originally envisioned by James Cameron to be the Terminator and not Arnold. OJ Simpson was also looked at as a possible to play The Terminator. Another thing that little twist your mind is that the movie we see it's actually a third time line, you have the original timeline, then a second which slightly Alters the first and then this movie which will make a continuation timeline.
Thank you! I have seen both the alien movies and ghostbuster movies but my Back to the Future reaction comes out on Monday!
Regarding the speed at which Sarah fell in love with Kyle, in 1993 I met a young woman at a camp retreat. We were instantly attracted to each other, spent the entire day (about 10hrs) just wandering the park & talking. We were definitely in love with each other at the end of that day & we didn't even have to escape any Terminators. The relationship ended in 1995, but it started that day. It happens.
The best Terminator film. T2 is great but this is better.
Like this one best because it was low budget and you see things more "as they are," especially the "present LA", since I've lived there and the gritty side of the city is what I knew best.
Another great movie reaction. Keep it up man.
Thank you!!
Ok that was funny lol 😂
You were talking about how smooth Arnold looked. He could almost be cgi.
Break to ad lol smooth Lindor chocolates lol perfect timing
Your time travel commentary is wrong it doesn't create a *paradox* it creates an alternative timeline this is explained rather well in the *(back to the future)* movies
The second one is even better. Arnold Schwarzenegger is great as the T-101 model. Linda Hamilton was great aa Sarah Connor
Just because you called this a horror movie, you earn a new subscriber lol, I've been defending that The Terminator is actually a sci fi horror movie for years now
With all the jump scares and tense moments; you would think this was a horror film. HAHA. Seriously; one of my favorite 80s action/scifi film. 2 is also great, but on a totally different level
I agree about the time travel paradox - but I think pretty much any (backward) time travel story ends up with some kind of logical road block.
Regarding her being in love, I would say that after everything was over and with Kyle being dead, a few months later she might begin to reinterpret the narrative and project back different feelings - that is what we do.
Yes. T2 is the end of the good stuff. Some of the others are OK, but following great with ok doesn't really work.
Now for terminator 2 judgement day
*Judgment
If you want to make a good villain 🦹🏻♂️ let him kill people you like in the 🎥 . He is a danger ⚠️ not a cool 😎 character you root for to win.
I love the fact we never see the Time Maschine. Imagination 💭
Great Reaction!! 🙋🏼♂️
Thank you!!!!
For some reason the ending was 100% scarier than the rest of the movie for me.
If you think about it, this is a horror movie not a sci-fi movie.
Reese almost certainly prevented John Connor from being born. Who was the father in the original timeline that experienced no interference from the future?
All time travel movies are technically paradoxed
Loved the Terminator movies especially 1 and 2 didn't really care much for the other ones except maybe a little bit of Salvation and a little bit of Genesis that's about it one of the reasons that got into weightlifting Arnold now I'm pretty much the same size as he was in the first Terminator
I have Subscribed, looking forward to more of your videos. I must say I agree with others and think you should increase the volume of the movie so we can hear it better.
I think you will like T2. Have you seen Alien?
😁
Another James Cameron movie is The Abyss.
@@tj_2701 I have seen Alien and The Abyss and love both of them! I also agree and I think I have fixed the audio for my T2 reaction on Monday
Subscribed. Just watched your T1 and T2 reactions. Keep up the good work.
Thank you!!
You talk about sci-fi movies that create paradoxes. Dude, THIS was the sci-fi movie that all other future sci-fi movies modeled their time travel paradox ideas from. 💡 Folks tend to forget this was 1984. Just sayn'. -OG
You should check out "Escape From New York"
Gotta Watch Terminator 2
Never mind about my last comment about watching Terminator 2, i see you already did a reaction to T-2. Gonna watch it now! Lol I guess I've got some catching up to do
Funny how the reaction videos of millenials are always "what, he got in love because of just 1 picture?"
In 1984, pictures were rare and held much more value than a pic of someone today when people make thousands of selfies.
It was already magical to have a picture of someone, so it wasn't far-fetched to fall in love with someone based on such a picture.
Yeah, time travel will make you cross-eyed if you go into it too deeply. You should react to HOT TUB TIME MACHINE if you've never seen it. Greatest time travel movie ever.
I haven’t seen that yet so I’ll definitely take a look!
Yeah, most folks agree T1 & T2 are the best. All the other sequels have great action but fall severely short on story. All the sequels after T2 recognize the first two Terminator films. But none of them recognize each other. They all want to be that perfect 3rd Terminator installment. Try as they might. But that's as far as they go. -OG
cool reaction. go into these movies blind and you won't be disappointed- breakdown with Kurt Russell, double jeopardy with tommie lee jones,
Frequency with Denis Quaid and the Game with Michael Douglas. all fantastic 90s movies
