Fun fact: In the German dubbed version, the guy who was thrown out of the phone booth by Arnold says: "Look in the phone book under 'asshole', you're sure to find your number there." So hilarious^^
Also, despite being a German-speaking Austrian, Arnold wasn’t allowed to dub his own lines because he sounds to Germans and Austrians the same way rednecks sound like to North Americans.
My parents let me watch The Terminator when I was 5. About a month later I heard them talking about having someone come check for house for bugs. The day the guy showed up my dad yelled out “the exterminator’s here!” I burst into tears and hid under my bed for an hour
This comment brings me so much joy! hahahaha, wow! I loved watching this as a youngster. My folks didn't hire an exterminator so I didn't have THAT experience. :P hahahaha, so awesome. xD
Fun fact: the final shot of this movie was almost not done because a cop showed up since they were filming without a permit, They said it was for their "Student film project" and the cop at the scene let them go.
It's a great pop corn action flick from the 90s with some great effects, and an example on how to use CG. But it's a TERRIBLE sequel actually. Unless story, lore or logic isn't too important for you.
@@jovanjorgovan23, completely agree. Lot of unexplained things & a mountain of massive goofs. Sad when moneymaking replaces storytelling. Original movie is WAY better & completely untouchable.
42:09 - “Why is [Arnold] in it when he just died?” Well, see, this guy named Henry Ford invented something called an “assembly line,” which lets you build thousands of identical machines… I apologize, I don’t mean to be a dick. I would say a majority of reactors get confused by Arnie showing up in the sequels, so maybe _I’m_ the weirdo.
Yeah, I've heard other reactors confused about the same thing. It never made sense to me either. I'm sure that the terminator was modeled after one of the scientists that created the original and then ran them through an assembly like. But you also see a different terminator that comes into the underground bunker, so they had different ones as well.
the only thing I would say that makes that seem less obvious and the confusion seem more reasonable, is the terminator isn't the skin suit it wears but the robot under the skin, so it could be anyone, like they mention growing terminators skin at one point, so its easy to think they could look like different people...
And the gun shop guy, Lt Traxler, Dr Silberman, the bum in the alley, the future terminator, the Tech Noir bouncer, the janitor in the roach motel, the garbage truck driver.
The toy truck the Terminator runs over with the car at the start is a scale replica of the type of truck that runs the Terminator over near the end of the film. So it's like big brother came and got revenge, it the hidden plot of the movie.
When a person or Machine enters the Time Displacement Field... The EXTREME energy it produces literally SHREDS ANY SORT OF CLOTHING regardless of the material...
28:13 well if this movie were made today, it probably might show John in The "Future" scenes but this was 1984 and back then directors And producers didn't spoon feed the audience, they wanted to keep John Connor an enigma so to speak, So the audience could Imagine what he may have looked like
"Why is Arnold in [T2] if he died in this one?" For the same reason two 2019 Toyota Corollas look alike. The cyborg in this movie is one particular model. If the AI wanted to, it could make a thousand robots that all looked like Arnold. So the Arnold-lookin' cyborg in the second movie is not the same Arnold-lookin' cyborg that got crushed in the hydraulic press. It's just the same make, model, and style. The bigger question is why did the AI give its cyborgs Austrian accents? That seems like a weird choice. Or maybe James Cameron is insinuating that Austrian accents sound like a robot who doesn't know how to speak like a proper human. AI: There! My AI cyborg infiltrator is finished. It will be able to sneak undetected into the midst of the human population of Los Angeles. Speak, my cyborg! CYBORG: Vot das ist dat tink are doink you? AI: Close enough. Go kill humans!
You have to keep in mind when this came out. The stop motion was a choice because the film makers of that generation were raised on Ray Harryhausen stop motion films like Earth VS The Flying Saucers, Mighty Joe Young, The Seventh Voyage Of Sinbad, Jason And The Argonauts, and Clash Of The Titans which came out 3 years before. So that was in homage to such films.
The part that always hits me in the heart strings is when Kyle says “I always used to wonder what you were thinking of in that moment”. He never knew that she was thinking about him 😢 Also: DO NOT WATCH THE TRAILER FOR T2!!!! It was one of (if not the first) trailers that spoiled one of the biggest plot twists so just watch T2 and I also recommend watching the directors cut. Theatrical is great but it’s like LotR, the extended just makes it better
That's Arnold's best friend Marco, playing the Terminator in the future infiltration sequence. Dude had a weird dent in his pectoral muscles, but they loved each other.
Fun messy fact. James cameron was in a relationship with both Sarah Connor aka Linda Hamilton and The lady the played roses granddaughter in titanic. All at the same time. He left Linda who just had his baby got with the other lady, broke up with her, then married Linda, then divorced her, then married the other lady and they have been married ever since. 😂p.s. Linda and the lady were never enemies. Linda acknowledges they were not together when he was with that other lady.
Great reaction. You're probably getting a lot of advice both ways, so let me throw my 2 cents in: PLZ watch the extended cut for T2. The theatrical cut is amazing! It was among my favorite movies of all time LONG before I saw the extended edition, so I understand the people who prefer it. Those extra 15 minutes, though, allow them to include several scenes that might not be critical to the plot, but do deepen the story significantly.
"Are they going to kill people?" 😂 The Terminators? The killer cyborgs who are designed to kill? They might! Very excited for both this and the sequel, fucking perfect movies and you are so funny!
It's funny to think that Skynet is the cause of John Connor. If they wouldn't have sent a terminator back in time Sarah wouldn't know to train her son to be the savior of the future. More time circles are brought up in T2
3:47 Ackchyually, the expression is "buck naked." 5:41 Lean mean Michael Biehn. When getting in shape for this role, he used mid-70s Robert DeNiro (as per Taxi Driver) as a body template. 6:04 Michael Connell Biehn glancing over the name "Michael B. Connor." 6:55 AMT Hardballer 7:02 That's a real technology that the military experimented with for a time. It was too unstable, too impractical, and too expensive. 7:25 No, not really. In gun culture, there's a certain etiquette that's upheld. Also, they sell guns and ammo separately at all gun shops. There are procedures in place to prevent that sort of thing. 17:09 / 29:06 Model 101 is the Arnie model. Model 102 is the Franco Columbu model (the one you can play as in Terminator: Resistance). 20:03 They're both using variants of the same make and model, the Ithaca 37. Mike's is the M&P (Military & Police) model and holds eight. Arnie's is the more standard police model and holds five. They both have either the same or close to the same barrel length. On a combat shotgun with a fixed magazine tube, it's best to have a mag tube that fits flush with the barrel for maximum capacity. 29:56 AR-18, Armalite's "forgotten" rifle. 33:38 That happens in T2. 38:07 Or as Mike Bracken the Horror Geek would say, "pimp haaaand!"
This was the first reaction of yours that I've watched on here. This is my all time favorite movie!! Nothing tops this in my book. :D Really happy that you both enjoyed this one. :) I'm subbing to the channel so I can check out some of your other reactions. :)
40:40 and when Reese asked “I always wondered what you were thinking about in that moment.” We now know…she was thinking about him. it’s a PREDESTINATION PARADOX
In the original plot for The Terminator the cyborg had a set of miniature organs such as a heart to supply his flesh with blood. When Reese shot him in the chest in Tech Noir it destroyed his heart and from then on his flesh was rotting hence "have you got a dead cat in there ?".
The premise for this was inspired by two episodes of the sci-fi series The Outer Limits and John Carpenter's Halloween. Arnold Schwarzenegger starred in Conan the Destroyer the same year as this, while lead actress Linda Hamilton starred in Children of the Corn. Prior to his acting career, Arnold Schwarzenegger won seven Mr. Olympia bodybuilding titles. The Terminator in the flashback is played by the late bodybuilder Franco Columbu
OJ Simpson was supposed to play the terminator but they thought he was too nice to murder anyone. Then Arnold walked in with his natural robotic nature and got the part.
Second one is NOWHERE near as good a Terminator film as this. It's not even close............. Story was full of goofs & unexplained stuff. How many opportunities did the T1000 have to shoot John, 3 or 4?
This was the first of four movies I remember seeing Michael Biehn aka Reese & Bill Paxton in together. The 2nd was Aliens which the actor for Det. Hal ( Lance Henriksen) was also in. 3rd was Navy Seals which also stared Charlie Sheen, and Dennis Haysbert the All State insurance guy & from the 3 Major League comedy movies, Heat, and the series 24. And the 4th film was Tombstone.
Terminator's are mass produced and their are different types of terminator's So their are multiple copy's of the Arnold type t101. Just like your headphones it's one model type but thousands are manufactured. The T-1 Battlefield Robot, also known as T-1 Ground Assault Vehicle or simply T1, is a fully autonomous Ground Offensive System and the first Terminator type. The liquid one is the t1000 a prototype model.
0:11 You know, there's a Japanese movie that has the same basic plot as Terminator, and by that I mean there's a killer targeting a young woman, and a sole warrior who will go to any means necessary to protect her. When you get into the details however it becomes something quite different. For those wondering, the movie I'm referring to is Eko Eko Azarak 2: The birth of the Wizard.
The ("naked") Terminator is actually not all stop motion. In 1984 they had to fall back on stop-motion whenever they were to show the full body walking, but when we just see his upper torso, that was a full-size puppet that some poor stagehand had to carry on his shoulders. It still looks really good, simply because REAL IS REAL and will always hold up, and often compares favorably to the lazy CGI they would typically fall back on now. The final scenes where the (now legless) Terminator crawls after Sarah was also the full-size puppet, apparently controlled through the floor beneath it. The thing had more than a thousand moving parts and took the better part of a year to build.
If you noticed before kyle got to the bar he cocked the shotgun 2 times and 1 time he started to take it out from the coat,each time a fresh unused shell would have been ejected,so they get that wrong
Sir.... gen x here.... Nike was the s*** since the late 70s BEFORE MJ. Black and gold classic Nikes was what every elementary school kid in Brooklyn salivated over.
I’m excited for the second one from you guys you’re gonna have fun with it and if this ends up, going to be a series on all the terminator films on pumped!!❤️❤️
Her and Kyle would've had to have several times because he is johns dad which means he went back in time before to save her and knock her up originally. Then he came back in time to save her and knock her up this time that were seeing. It would mean that this movie is a time loop.
Except for the very first theatrical release of The Terminator. all subsequent releases, in the end credits. have a line crediting the work of Harlan Ellison. Ellison (died 2018) was a irascible, sometimes infamous writer, including of several television scripts. He wrote the original script for Star Trek's (Original Series) "City on the Edge of Forever" , which won that years World Science Fiction Hugo Award for best screenplay. Before Star Trek, Harlan had wrote a couple of time travel scripts for an earlier series, The Outer Limits. "Demon with a Glass Hand" was the one most directly influential on Cameron's first Terminator script. Copies of the Terminator script circulated around LA, and Harlan heard about the similarities. Harlan called up Cameron and (supposedly) politely asked for a simple credit of acknowledgment, and no money. James Cameron blew off Harlan Ellison. Big mistake... Harlan was as free in filing lawsuits as any Scientologist. The short of it, in an out-of-court settlement, Harlan got $70K (a token, really, considering it was a box office hit) and those subsequent release credits. If you ever get the chance, ask James Cameron what he thinks about Harlan Ellison...
In the original story draft the terminator had a human heart which was the only biological component of its body other than its eyes and skin and it was what kept his skin from rotting and in the story draft it was damaged during the tech noir attack which is why he starts to rot and flies are all over him by the mid-point
They used stop-motion(probably with a small terminator model, you can see the green screen behind Sarah and Reese when they were closing the door in the factory), animatronics in close-up scenes(when Arnold was looking at himself in the mirror, when Reese was bashing the Terminator at the end) stunt man for Arnold when he was on fire. Very cool effects. I can’t wait to see your reaction on the 2nd one🧡🧡🧡.
It's kinda infamous what they did with the gunfire in these later releases. Arnold's gun sounds laughably like a pea shooter now... whereas in the original version it was like a frickin canon!
I think they should add someone walking towards the Gun Shop saw the Terminator Gun down the owner or have a neighbor in that apartment heard a commotion calling the police
Originally Arnold was cast to play the protector and Lance Henriksen (the Lieutenant's side kick) was the terminator (someone who could blind in) but Arnold was so excited about the terminator he convinced James Cameron to let him play the roll.
Lance wouldve been a great T-1000 back in the day. He can be just as cold and menacing as Robert. But luckily Cameron didn't have the technology for that.
I know some people are purists about classic films but T1 is one of those movies where I wouldn't mind if James Cameron went back and replaced the stop-motion FX with something a little less dated. He doesn't have to go all George Lucas with it, just smooth certain animations out a little, maybe clean up the greenscreen edges, etc. Hell, I wouldn't even be mad if they did a little deepfake trickery to make the fake Arnold head look less like a fake Arnold head. Some of the FX hold up but the obvious stop-motion and other janky FX take modern viewers out of it at the part of the movie where they should be the most in it. Robocop is another one of those where a modern pass on a couple of FX shots wouldn't go amiss (despite how belovedly meme'd one of the shots has become). I know fanboys, fangirls, and fanNBs will come at me about this opinion but you know what? I stand by it.
Terminator 2 is an improvement in action and effects but it basically is a remake of this film. Terminator 3 also retreads the plot of the original, but is very underrated and has a great ending. Terminator Salvation is the most original sequel in the series and is also very underrated.
in the intro when you asked if they were gonna kill people I was like um...you are not ready for how much they are going to kill people. that's really their whole thing.
In a way, this movie DOES share some narrative deep structure with "Titanic". Both movies are about a young woman whose life is somehow threatened by a technological marvel with a name that begins in T. In both movies, a young man works hard to save her, and there is a short and sweet love story resulting. In the end, the young man dies still trying to save her, but she is not quite out of the woods yet. But meeting the young man has transformed and empowered her, and finally she honors his sacrifice by finding her own resourcefulness and saving herself. Then, in a bittersweet ending, she must go on without him, but she will always remember him.

The ("naked") Terminator is actually not all stop motion. In 1984 they had to fall back on stop-motion whenever they were to show the full body walking, but when we just see his upper torso, that was a full-size puppet that some poor stagehand had to carry on his shoulders. It still looks really good, simply because REAL IS REAL and will always hold up, and often compares favorably to the lazy CGI they would typically fall back on now. The final scenes where the (now legless) Terminator crawls after Sarah was also the full-size puppet, apparently controlled through the floor beneath it. The thing had more than a thousand moving parts and took the better part of a year to build.
YES WATCH T2! It's a moral imperative.
CAN`T WAIT TO SEE TERMINATOR 2😊😊😊😊✌✌✌❤❤❤❤💕💞💕💞💕💕💕OWO

38:22 When a Terminator has an “oh shit” moment lol
If you noticed before kyle got to the bar he cocked the shotgun 2 times and 1 time he started to take it out from the coat,each time a fresh unused shell would have been ejected,so they get that wrong
"He teabagged him" 😂 FFS. And T2 kicks ass.
I can’t wait for T2 you’re gonna have so much fun 🥰🥰🥰
Sir.... gen x here.... Nike was the s*** since the late 70s BEFORE MJ. Black and gold classic Nikes was what every elementary school kid in Brooklyn salivated over.
Gen X the best generation ever.
“This would be a great movie” 🤣 in the psychologist scene. So spot on dude lol
I hope you guys watch all of them, they all offer some fun times
T2 is a requirement.
I’m excited for the second one from you guys you’re gonna have fun with it and if this ends up, going to be a series on all the terminator films on pumped!!❤️❤️
Her and Kyle would've had to have several times because he is johns dad which means he went back in time before to save her and knock her up originally. Then he came back in time to save her and knock her up this time that were seeing. It would mean that this movie is a time loop.
Except for the very first theatrical release of The Terminator. all subsequent releases, in the end credits. have a line crediting the work of Harlan Ellison.
Ellison (died 2018) was a irascible, sometimes infamous writer, including of several television scripts. He wrote the original script for Star Trek's (Original Series) "City on the Edge of Forever" , which won that years World Science Fiction Hugo Award for best screenplay. Before Star Trek, Harlan had wrote a couple of time travel scripts for an earlier series, The Outer Limits. "Demon with a Glass Hand" was the one most directly influential on Cameron's first Terminator script.
Copies of the Terminator script circulated around LA, and Harlan heard about the similarities. Harlan called up Cameron and (supposedly) politely asked for a simple credit of acknowledgment, and no money.
James Cameron blew off Harlan Ellison. Big mistake...
Harlan was as free in filing lawsuits as any Scientologist. The short of it, in an out-of-court settlement, Harlan got $70K (a token, really, considering it was a box office hit) and those subsequent release credits.
If you ever get the chance, ask James Cameron what he thinks about Harlan Ellison...
Arnold is a stoned cold killer! ✌️
Them :"Any blippi parents?"
Me: "Hey dirt see you later, i'm an excavator"
Arnold II in Terminator II says that line "Come with me if you Vant to live". I guess he got Kyle's or John's persona too.
He says, "I don’t want to spoil anything", right after spoiling everything. 😂
"The women in your time; what are they like?" "Dead." This response made me spray my coffee!! 😂😂😂😂❤
Titanic is my favorite movie too Bridget! I would love a Titanic commentary from you two!
Thanks guys!!
This is by far the best one.
I love how cody says arnolds clearly not got good cardio over a clip of arnold booking it down the alley after them.😂
In the original story draft the terminator had a human heart which was the only biological component of its body other than its eyes and skin and it was what kept his skin from rotting and in the story draft it was damaged during the tech noir attack which is why he starts to rot and flies are all over him by the mid-point
They used stop-motion(probably with a small terminator model, you can see the green screen behind Sarah and Reese when they were closing the door in the factory), animatronics in close-up scenes(when Arnold was looking at himself in the mirror, when Reese was bashing the Terminator at the end) stunt man for Arnold when he was on fire. Very cool effects.
I can’t wait to see your reaction on the 2nd one🧡🧡🧡.
It's kinda infamous what they did with the gunfire in these later releases. Arnold's gun sounds laughably like a pea shooter now... whereas in the original version it was like a frickin canon!
I think they should add someone walking towards the Gun Shop saw the Terminator Gun down the owner or have a neighbor in that apartment heard a commotion calling the police
Originally Arnold was cast to play the protector and Lance Henriksen (the Lieutenant's side kick) was the terminator (someone who could blind in) but Arnold was so excited about the terminator he convinced James Cameron to let him play the roll.
Lance wouldve been a great T-1000 back in the day. He can be just as cold and menacing as Robert. But luckily Cameron didn't have the technology for that.
Absolutely watch the 2nd and even watch the 3rd one even though that one didn't do as well. It actually wraps up this timeline
I know some people are purists about classic films but T1 is one of those movies where I wouldn't mind if James Cameron went back and replaced the stop-motion FX with something a little less dated. He doesn't have to go all George Lucas with it, just smooth certain animations out a little, maybe clean up the greenscreen edges, etc. Hell, I wouldn't even be mad if they did a little deepfake trickery to make the fake Arnold head look less like a fake Arnold head. Some of the FX hold up but the obvious stop-motion and other janky FX take modern viewers out of it at the part of the movie where they should be the most in it.
Robocop is another one of those where a modern pass on a couple of FX shots wouldn't go amiss (despite how belovedly meme'd one of the shots has become). I know fanboys, fangirls, and fanNBs will come at me about this opinion but you know what? I stand by it.
This is my fav movie and I love when other people love this movie. I'm glad she said she loved it.
Gun shop owner was the guy from Gremlins 1 and 2. I guess he opened it after NY
There's a Terminator anime series coming to Netflix on the August 29th this month.
The title called Terminator zero
Terminator 2 is an improvement in action and effects but it basically is a remake of this film.
Terminator 3 also retreads the plot of the original, but is very underrated and has a great ending.
Terminator Salvation is the most original sequel in the series and is also very underrated.
in the intro when you asked if they were gonna kill people I was like um...you are not ready for how much they are going to kill people. that's really their whole thing.
one of the greatest films ever made. ive loved this movie ever since i was a kid, and T2 is probably the greatest sequel of all time
Aliens, Lethal Weapon 2, Empire Strikes Back & Top Gun Maverick were better sequels. T2 was full of plotholes & goofs.
Gail Anne Heard, who produced this was also a big part of The Walking Dead franchise if you're into that.
The whole movie is about retroactive abortion, lol
In a way, this movie DOES share some narrative deep structure with "Titanic". Both movies are about a young woman whose life is somehow threatened by a technological marvel with a name that begins in T. In both movies, a young man works hard to save her, and there is a short and sweet love story resulting. In the end, the young man dies still trying to save her, but she is not quite out of the woods yet. But meeting the young man has transformed and empowered her, and finally she honors his sacrifice by finding her own resourcefulness and saving herself. Then, in a bittersweet ending, she must go on without him, but she will always remember him.
