One of my favorite revelations about the Terminator is when Reese is talking to Sarah about the photo her son gave him in the future. He says that he was always wondering what she was thinking of when the photo was taken,then to show at the end of the movie that Sarah is talking and thinking about Reese into the recorder,and the Polaroid captured by the little boy. That was really creative writing.
And any other time traveler movie that wouldn’t have made any sense. Once Reese unloaded inside Sara He then became the father of who sent him to the past. But before that, John Connor would’ve had a different dad
This movie was such a watershed for me... Other sci-fi/ horror movies like "the Thing" and "Aliens" were fantastic (and still scare me..) but the Terminator was different.. I think a big part of it was Linda Hamilton's incredible transformation from an innocent, '80's waitress (almost Valley-girl) into the real 'Sarah Conner" at the end... and of course in the sequel... Thank you for another reminder of how great movies used to be!
10 years old and saw it in the cinema with my dad in France (rated for children under 15 in my home country Sweden). I came out completely terrified and in love with Linda Hamilton. What a movie!
James Cameron was not fired from directing "Piranha II." Cameron, originally hired as the special effects director, was promoted to direct the film after original director Miller Drake was fired.
Brad Fiedel for the first movie didn't use notation and recorded it live with his Prophet-10 and had manually looped his score, accidentally made a 13/16 time signature. As there was no MIDI and no auto-correction on those machines, it’s wonky, jarring and awesome.
Terminator was like a horror movie with action elements, whilst T2 was an action movie with horror elements. I'm so glad they both turned out the way they did, those first two movies were perfect!
im a mad movie nerd and i love the first 2 movies also. From when i was a kid i always wanted to see a 3rd movie from jcam about the future war but ill keep dreaming 😅
I rented it on VHS but my parents turned it off when Arnold was just killing everyone in the beginning of the movie. Then my grandma secretly rented it for me when she was babysitting me and my brother.
“I’ll be back” is one of my favorites but “Make my day” by Clint Eastwood would be #1. Cameron was unknown & broke before Terminator. Then he also directed Aliens, Abyss, T2, True Lies, Titanic, and Avatar. Totally incredible
No,in T1, Arnold was blinking,his hand was affected by recoil and he got picked up by a human, double leg takedown style by Sarah's roommate's boyfriend in their fight scene
Only time I ever came out of a showing, walked straight to the ticket booth and bought another ticket for an immediate re-showing. A film of my teens that was just perfect.
I love terminator! Still so good. Also love how Sarah’s character morphed through these movies and became a total badass. T2 is my fav though. You all should do T2.
I agree 💯! I still remember critics trashing Linda Hamilton for her muscle, but I always admired her dedication. The physical change fits the character’s evolution perfectly.
Arnold did a prank on people several years ago. He was at some wax museum in Hollywood, where there was a Terminator exhibit. Arnold would pose for the exhibit as people would walk by. On some occasions, Arnold would move toward the person looking at the exhibit and tell them "Come with me if you want to live". Scared a lot of people.
Saw T2 first run at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood. Patrick was there, and nobody wanted to go near him after!! I hope he realised what tribute that was.
My favorite continuity error I can never unsee.... The three Sarah Connor addresses in the phone book are 1823, 2816 and 309 but the house address of the first Sarah Connor is 14239
I love how the Terminator always feels like he's there. Even when he's not in a scene, he's THERE. Out there, somewhere. Hunting. Looking. Learning. He's omnipresent and it's tangible. The first Terminator is much more a slasher movie than a sci-fi movie.
I like the fact that in Terminator 2 they down-regulated the Minigun. Not so much because the recoil was handleable (they used blanks, so there was none), but because most people wouldn't have believed it was a real gun if they had used the real speed. It's too fast in reality to believe. And the pyrotechnician would have been unable to synchronize the impacts.
Arnold took the effort to study Yul Brinner's performance in Westworld, because as he described it: it was the perfect body movement on screen portraying a human like robot. He also mentioned, the head movement was based on birds' way of turning their head
I still remember the first time I saw that movie. I was a tween. My mom, her friend, my sister and I, talked about it for days and the whole "circularness" of the plot's timeline. What a groundbreaking film!!
I remember reading Schwarzenegger's biography. He wrote about how some scenes in T1 were filmed in public places however there were no permits to do so. They had to get in, film, then leave before the police showed up
How does that happen, does some nosy woman call the police and say "there's a big ass Austrian MF'er making a movie outside, and I doubt they have permits, send a unit immediately?"
I was at a sleepover birthday party the first time I saw The Terminator and Chucky in the same night, my parents would never have let me watch movies like that at that age, must've been 5-6.
It's there, but he just couldn't pronounce some sentence structures in English so I had heard that is why he said, "I'll be back", instead of the line that he couldn't say which people could recognize. I just forget the original line he couldn't say.
@EcotecEngine3.8V6It was simply explaining what my own interpretation of it was when I saw the film. It was still a nice touch, in my opinion…whether or not it was the actual motivation.
In the '80s, my dad would go to see movies with his wife before he took my brother and I to see them. He would then ask us mid movie what do you think if he wanted us to stop looking at a screen in a specific point.
Terminator was the first movie I saw on a VCR. My dad had to save money to buys us one and the day we got it we went to the local movie rental place and I got Terminator and First Blood. I had them for 2 days and watched each 14 times.
Another fact you may not know: Apparently Brad Fiedel's soundtrack theme to The Terminator is in a 13/16 meter due to a mistake while recording on the Prophet 10.
My earliest copy of the movie is a first run DVD from the 2000s, which I've kept all these years. I don't recall getting to see it in the 90s on a VHS, and certainly wouldn't have seen it in the 80s, my parents wouldn't have allowed it
I was 18 when I saw this in December 1984. Needless to say it totally blew my mind. It's objectively still a cool movie to watch the first time, but a young person today can't understand how amazing it was to us, it was one of the first really believable Sci Fi effects movies.
Fact #1 has a continuum blooper. When Arnold first walks through the door at the police station the psychiatrist is on his left ready to exit the building, the next shot shows him on his right.
Who wrote Nightmare on Elm Street? Cameron's description of his robotic entity with knives for hands and check out one of the camera techs red and black striped shirt on set here just makes me wonder....🤔
That cut ending is kind of cool. It's too bad that the investors made Cameron use two of their own. Getting an idea of where it all started in the first movie would have been pretty sweet going into the second.
this movie had a scary feel to it throughout. i was actually a little scared watching it as a 12 year old. but i hardened up and kept watching it over and over till i wasn't scared.
seems no matter where we live a Terminator keeps on running through our living room @ home - we changed our place several times but the Terminator always shows up
I saw it in theaters when it first came out. I dont think my feet hit the floor the whole way thru it was that intense! I had a huge crush on Michael Biehn so that was a big bonus.
fact #16: there's a chinese company with the (translated) name skynet and it's supposed to do irl what skynet was originally supposed to do in the movie lore.
Terminator 2 is the best movie ever! I actually burned out a VHS when I was younger because I literally watched in on repeat showing the entire neighborhood 😎 it's so good that I will soon open an entertainment complex in Ireland and I'm going to name it The Galleria Arcade 👌🏼👌🏼
My question is: Who is the original father of John Connor, whom Kyle Reese replaces, because he is younger than John and therefore cannot be the father before the first time travel?
Saw it opening night in 1984 in Westwood (UCLA campus). My two buddies and I were supposed be at conference on another college campus for a Thanksgiving retreat. Left after we talked about what we used to draw all the time. Still remember the crowd reaction to “ I’ll be back”.
I prefer the first one. I know that's not a popular thing to be but it was because I'd never seen anything like it at the time. It absolutely blew my mind.
Robert Patrick is an INSANELY accomplished actor, he could run so fast he actually ran down the motor bike being ridden by John Conner, he learned how to shoot a gun without blinking for this role. Everytime i hear a new fact about him increases how impressed I am by him. Robert Patrick is the best, from The Sopranos to Reacher. Even now in Peacemaker he's brilliant.
@Jungletraveler00_12okay maybe the semantics of the the sentence were incorrect, but the context carries across, does it not? And he may not have won awards but his filmography and acting speaks for itself.
@Jungletraveler00_12who cares. Hollywood awards are transactional now. No one cares about that. There are 100's of actors who are better than Will Smith and he has won.
@jamesestelle7260 Correction, you don't care about that. An oscar nomination alone is a huge deal to an actor, same as winning the world cup is to a professional soccer player.
@Jungletraveler00_12theres no CORRECTION. Not all actors care about receiving an Academy Award, what you said is purely speculation. Robert has won other awards including the MTV movie award for best villain. This was actually pretty big in the 90's and viewership for those awards rivaled the Academy Awards. For the last 15 to 20 years the Academy Awards and even Grammys have been tainted by the need to glorify diversity and make political statements so half of Hollywood could care less about those awards. Like I said before there are 100's of amazing actors who will never be nominated and could care less.
Those of us who grew up in the 50s & 60s spent many summer evenings chasing the “mosquito truck” which was in fact pumping out aerosolized kerosene. We’re in our 70s and 80s now so I guess it didn’t kill us. 😊
And used as a parody in _Last Action Hero_ Jack Slater: "I'll be back". There you probably didn't know I was going to say that! Kid: You always say that.
I gurantee you, Arnold didn't "accidently" walk into the restaurant with hisi makeup on. He wanted to know what the effect it would have would be like.
It is still on the very top... Just so awesome thing that not many other effects can be compared. Sure, there are more incredible things possible now but the effect is only worth it if it's convincing and playing with audience's feelings.
I used to work the graveyard shift at a gas station. Many gas stations. I could imagine being behind the counter and having that walk in. I'd probably think it was just another Tuesday.
What always gets me is the robots are not instilled with Isaac Asimov's 3 laws of robotics, maybe the 2nd one where the terminator is the protector, but no mention and that's sad.
Skynet Original Purpose: To manage strategic defense, including unmanned bombers, missiles, and military infrastructure. So Asimov’s first law never applied. I guess the military never thought robots would become self aware.
When I was a kid when I first saw this movie I saw it as a horror film and not Syfy I consider it to be one of the greatest horror movies ever. Anyway I was lucky enough to see it for free when I was a kid. My parents had a video store in the early 80s about the size of a large closet. If you remember back then before Blockbuster there was just a gazillion what independent video stores everywhere. They had one but it was put out of business due to competition from a bigger store. And that bigger store eventually got bought out by Blockbuster.
“I came across time for you Sarah” the most romantic lines ever spoken in film ❤
There was one summer 1983 or 84 when HBO showed The Terminator CONSTANTLY...so I saw it many, many, many times. Michael Biehn an 80s crush.♥
One of my favorite revelations about the Terminator is when Reese is talking to Sarah about the photo her son gave him in the future. He says that he was always wondering what she was thinking of when the photo was taken,then to show at the end of the movie that Sarah is talking and thinking about Reese into the recorder,and the Polaroid captured by the little boy. That was really creative writing.
💯❤️
That's very sweet thank you. Happy 100 Love to you too
And any other time traveler movie that wouldn’t have made any sense.
Once Reese unloaded inside Sara He then became the father of who sent him to the past. But before that, John Connor would’ve had a different dad
@montanapleaselol
It also set off the paradox.
This movie was such a watershed for me... Other sci-fi/ horror movies like "the Thing" and "Aliens" were fantastic (and still scare me..) but the Terminator was different.. I think a big part of it was Linda Hamilton's incredible transformation from an innocent, '80's waitress (almost Valley-girl) into the real 'Sarah Conner" at the end... and of course in the sequel... Thank you for another reminder of how great movies used to be!
10 years old and saw it in the cinema with my dad in France (rated for children under 15 in my home country Sweden). I came out completely terrified and in love with Linda Hamilton. What a movie!
I really thought that the 3 words referred to in #1 was going to be "f*ck you a$$hole".
“Your clothes, give them to me…”Hilarious choice of closing line, since we’d all assume what it would be!
😂🙌🏼🙌🏼
I always tell my dates that...😆
James Cameron was not fired from directing "Piranha II." Cameron, originally hired as the special effects director, was promoted to direct the film after original director Miller Drake was fired.
Brad Fiedel for the first movie didn't use notation and recorded it live with his Prophet-10 and had manually looped his score, accidentally made a 13/16 time signature. As there was no MIDI and no auto-correction on those machines, it’s wonky, jarring and awesome.
Terminator was like a horror movie with action elements, whilst T2 was an action movie with horror elements. I'm so glad they both turned out the way they did, those first two movies were perfect!
Yeah, I wonder where they'd have gone with a few sequels. I guess we'll never know as we only ever got two Terminator movies.
im a mad movie nerd and i love the first 2 movies also. From when i was a kid i always wanted to see a 3rd movie from jcam about the future war but ill keep dreaming 😅
Ehh
I agree and I'm so happy they never ever made any other movie after T2
Saw it the second day it came to Dutch theaters. Still my all time favorite movie because it was so far ahead of time!
I rented it on VHS but my parents turned it off when Arnold was just killing everyone in the beginning of the movie. Then my grandma secretly rented it for me when she was babysitting me and my brother.
“I’ll be back” is one of my favorites but “Make my day” by Clint Eastwood would be #1.
Cameron was unknown & broke before Terminator. Then he also directed Aliens, Abyss, T2, True Lies, Titanic, and Avatar. Totally incredible

Only time I ever came out of a showing, walked straight to the ticket booth and bought another ticket for an immediate re-showing. A film of my teens that was just perfect.
80' and 90s had plenty of those!
I love terminator! Still so good. Also love how Sarah’s character morphed through these movies and became a total badass. T2 is my fav though. You all should do T2.
T2 just great, not often one cries when a Terminator dies
🔥🔥👍🔥🔥
I agree 💯! I still remember critics trashing Linda Hamilton for her muscle, but I always admired her dedication. The physical change fits the character’s evolution perfectly.

Saw T2 first run at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood. Patrick was there, and nobody wanted to go near him after!! I hope he realised what tribute that was.
and everyone started clapping?
Priceless 😮😊😊😊
My favorite continuity error I can never unsee.... The three Sarah Connor addresses in the phone book are 1823, 2816 and 309 but the house address of the first Sarah Connor is 14239
Thanks, now it’s ruined
I love how the Terminator always feels like he's there. Even when he's not in a scene, he's THERE. Out there, somewhere. Hunting. Looking. Learning. He's omnipresent and it's tangible. The first Terminator is much more a slasher movie than a sci-fi movie.
I think he’s on screen for a total of 18mins and says just 36 lines.
It is mostly a slasher film.
AAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh
One of my most favourite 80's movies besides Die Hard and Lethal Weapon.
I like the fact that in Terminator 2 they down-regulated the Minigun. Not so much because the recoil was handleable (they used blanks, so there was none), but because most people wouldn't have believed it was a real gun if they had used the real speed.

I never heard of the Yul Brenner insight, and it's best arnold did'nt try to copy Yuls taking down 5 PACKS of marlboros a day
With Google you should be able to spell his name
I still remember the first time I saw that movie. I was a tween. My mom, her friend, my sister and I, talked about it for days and the whole "circularness" of the plot's timeline.
What a groundbreaking film!!
I first saw The Terminator in 1984 in the movie theater. It absolutely blew my mind. It was my favorite movie for a long time. I still love it.
I remember reading Schwarzenegger's biography. He wrote about how some scenes in T1 were filmed in public places however there were no permits to do so. They had to get in, film, then leave before the police showed up
How does that happen, does some nosy woman call the police and say "there's a big ass Austrian MF'er making a movie outside, and I doubt they have permits, send a unit immediately?"
It’s not that uncommon, other movie directors have filmed quite a few scenes in NY using that method. It makes for a more realistic scene.
@Notfiveo0 Guerilla filmmaking! 😊
"BOWFINGER" with Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy is a comedy using Gorilla filming tactics to make a movie. I thought it was funny af.
@Tommy-n1q6l * guerrilla
I was at a sleepover birthday party the first time I saw The Terminator and Chucky in the same night, my parents would never have let me watch movies like that at that age, must've been 5-6.
Your friends were f'ing cool!
“Arnold’s accent was still thick.” Ummm, since when is it *thin*? 🤣
Watch Hercules in New York when Arnie was called Arnold Strong, his accent was that thick most of his lines got redubbed
It's there, but he just couldn't pronounce some sentence structures in English so I had heard that is why he said, "I'll be back", instead of the line that he couldn't say which people could recognize. I just forget the original line he couldn't say.
@FoxUnitNell According to the director "I'll be back" was the original line and that he, Arnold, wanted to say "I will" instead of "I'll".
Terminator single handedly made both "Kyle" and "Reese" generation defining boys names.
To me, the “I’ll be back” showed that the Terminator was already learning and adapting to appear more human. I thought it was a nice touch.
"A nice touch".
That implies what you said was the actual motivation behind the line.
It wasn't.
@EcotecEngine3.8V6It was simply explaining what my own interpretation of it was when I saw the film. It was still a nice touch, in my opinion…whether or not it was the actual motivation.
@MissMustang98
Okkayyyy
I'm actually surprised I didn't know a few of these. I thought I knew everything's about the Terminator
I first saw this on VHS at an under 15's Football club pie night... the 80's were awesome
In the '80s, my dad would go to see movies with his wife before he took my brother and I to see them. He would then ask us mid movie what do you think if he wanted us to stop looking at a screen in a specific point.
I think his most famous line is "hasta la vista, baby".😅
Terminator was the first movie I saw on a VCR. My dad had to save money to buys us one and the day we got it we went to the local movie rental place and I got Terminator and First Blood. I had them for 2 days and watched each 14 times.
Another fact you may not know: Apparently Brad Fiedel's soundtrack theme to The Terminator is in a 13/16 meter due to a mistake while recording on the Prophet 10.
I would have told Harlan Ellison to go do one! The Dr Who Daleks were a form of Terminator which followed a time traveler on his adventures. 😉
Can't believe how close we got to never getting Arnold's iconic line.
I think I'd like to see the version with Lance as the Terminator.
Instead of I’ll be back , Arnold really wanted to say… SCREW YOUR FREEDOM
It's confusing when I tried to understand the sequels after Terminator 1,2,3,4
Whats cool, the art like bullet holes and the explosions that hit the t-1000 were all desighned and mafe by the guitarist of the band TOOL
No, orig line was "I'll come back" He went with "I'll be back"
3:31 A friend of mine took a Cisco class taught by one of the twins at the soda machine in T2.
I fell in love with Kyle!
My earliest copy of the movie is a first run DVD from the 2000s, which I've kept all these years. I don't recall getting to see it in the 90s on a VHS, and certainly wouldn't have seen it in the 80s, my parents wouldn't have allowed it

Fact #1 has a continuum blooper. When Arnold first walks through the door at the police station the psychiatrist is on his left ready to exit the building, the next shot shows him on his right.
I swear the entire Terminator concept came from a nightmare I had...after I watched a bunch of Outer Limits episodes. Those things are scary
Terminator is the first title I bought on DVD. It cost nearly $40!
Who wrote Nightmare on Elm Street? Cameron's description of his robotic entity with knives for hands and check out one of the camera techs red and black striped shirt on set here just makes me wonder....🤔
That cut ending is kind of cool. It's too bad that the investors made Cameron use two of their own. Getting an idea of where it all started in the first movie would have been pretty sweet going into the second.
this movie had a scary feel to it throughout. i was actually a little scared watching it as a 12 year old. but i hardened up and kept watching it over and over till i wasn't scared.
The Skynet in this movie is arguably better than the Skynet we actually have today
seems no matter where we live a Terminator keeps on running through our living room @ home - we changed our place several times but the Terminator always shows up
I got to see the rough cut in Hollywood before music was added. Was amazing to see it take off once released
I saw it in theaters when it first came out. I dont think my feet hit the floor the whole way thru it was that intense! I had a huge crush on Michael Biehn so that was a big bonus.
The timelines are Crazy I think...
fact #16:
there's a chinese company with the (translated) name skynet and it's supposed to do irl what skynet was originally supposed to do in the movie lore.
Bill Paxton died at the hands of a Terminator, Xenomorph, and Predator.
If you have Alexa ask her if she's Skynet, it's funny.
Terminator 2 is the best movie ever! I actually burned out a VHS when I was younger because I literally watched in on repeat showing the entire neighborhood 😎 it's so good that I will soon open an entertainment complex in Ireland and I'm going to name it The Galleria Arcade 👌🏼👌🏼
The singing/dancing cut scene was the scariest part of this video....
My question is: Who is the original father of John Connor, whom Kyle Reese replaces,
because he is younger than John and therefore cannot be the father before the first time travel?
Saw it opening night in 1984 in Westwood (UCLA campus). My two buddies and I were supposed be at conference on another college campus for a Thanksgiving retreat. Left after we talked about what we used to draw all the time. Still remember the crowd reaction to “ I’ll be back”.
Same place, same night for me, but T2 in 1991….👍
Wow... if only old cameron could learn from young Cameron and edit his ideas for avatar
They're not good.
I'l be back comes from the VHS cover of The Exterminator with Robert Ginty ... Watch THAT movie...
This is how all the best films are made. When everything is polished, micro-managed and perfectly staged, you end up with no soul on film.
Everyone remembers when and where they saw the Terminator for the first time! 😮😊
After "I'll be back", it was "Stick around".
I prefer the first one. I know that's not a popular thing to be but it was because I'd never seen anything like it at the time. It absolutely blew my mind.
What I love is Lance later became the legendary Bishop!
I thought the same thing😂
later? are you sure?
Not bad for a human.😂
The car that terminator broke into was not a part of the movie. It was just a random person's car and he ACTUALLY breaks into it. 🤦🏻♀️
I remember watching this movie with my Dad when it was playing on HBO. It is a great movie .
First saw it in the cinema - Adelaide Australia, must have been '84 or '85. ¬approx. 13 years old. Obv. made huge impression :)
Didn't get to see it until years after it was made.. Saw it on VHS. STILL one of my absolute favorites!!!
Why do so many films have people running down the middle of a road? Surely it would make far more sense to get off the road as quickly as possible?
Robert Patrick is an INSANELY accomplished actor, he could run so fast he actually ran down the motor bike being ridden by John Conner, he learned how to shoot a gun without blinking for this role. Everytime i hear a new fact about him increases how impressed I am by him. Robert Patrick is the best, from The Sopranos to Reacher. Even now in Peacemaker he's brilliant.
" insanely accomplished " is a stretch, the guy never got an academy award.
@Jungletraveler00_12okay maybe the semantics of the the sentence were incorrect, but the context carries across, does it not?
And he may not have won awards but his filmography and acting speaks for itself.
@Jungletraveler00_12who cares. Hollywood awards are transactional now. No one cares about that. There are 100's of actors who are better than Will Smith and he has won.

When the credits rolled, I walked out thinking, "what a jacked up loop in the time frame!".
I think the world needs a Predator vs Terminator movie, no? Yes.
Cameron was imo completely right, deadly danger is rarely loud, menacing or predictable.
Arnold was there at the right time and right place.
Those of us who grew up in the 50s & 60s spent many summer evenings chasing the “mosquito truck” which was in fact pumping out aerosolized kerosene. We’re in our 70s and 80s now so I guess it didn’t kill us. 😊
My TI 83 couldn't do what this Terminator could..
He also says "I'll be back" in the movie Commando to Benet's ex-friend.
"Let off some steam Benet" : )
And used as a parody in _Last Action Hero_
Jack Slater: "I'll be back". There you probably didn't know I was going to say that!
Kid: You always say that.
He says it or a variation in several of his later movies.
I gurantee you, Arnold didn't "accidently" walk into the restaurant with hisi makeup on. He wanted to know what the effect it would have would be like.
I'd like to hear what Reese with a southern accent would have sounded like.
1986 my family took the family vacation to Barstow California and we watched The Terminator while at my uncle's house on base.
Southerners are the most likely to volunteer to be in a fight and are the best prepared for a long struggle. So a Southern accent makes perfect sense.
Maybe Cameron's "dream" was him thinking about OL. . .
I was infatuated by Michael Biehn after seeing this
T1 and T2 are both brilliant. also terminator dark fate was good. the others were wasted im afraid.
Lucky enough to watch this at the theatre. Fantastic.
I remember as a kid I thought that liquid metal effect was the absolute height of film effects.
It is still on the very top... Just so awesome thing that not many other effects can be compared. Sure, there are more incredible things possible now but the effect is only worth it if it's convincing and playing with audience's feelings.
It was state of the art at release. Cameron is a brilliant film producer and T2 budget was huge for the day. Agreed.
then Mtv did it
James Cameron NOSE how to do it!!!
Alex Murphy (Robocop) is the father of SkyNet .
Dark Horse comics; Robocop Vs Terminator.
Good story. Just a shame about the ED209s' shooting each other.😅
Terminator was the first movie I rented from Blockbuster when I bought my first VCR. Man, I’m old.
Not old but *_"Vintage"_* .
Ill be 38 in 2 days. Feels odd.
I wouldn't want to be young today!fukn lame o world!run by young senior citizens!!!
0:57 "Terrifying charisma" ...LOL
I used to work the graveyard shift at a gas station. Many gas stations. I could imagine being behind the counter and having that walk in. I'd probably think it was just another Tuesday.

If you remember back then before Blockbuster there was just a gazillion what independent video stores everywhere. They had one but it was put out of business due to competition from a bigger store.
And that bigger store eventually got bought out by Blockbuster.
