Terminator 2 is a classic, but the original really deserves the same level of love. It just has such a unique , gritty feel to it. Plus, it really sells you on the sheer *terror* of the Terminator and how scary it would be to have something this impossibly tough and skilled trying to kill you at all costs.
Part 1 is my favorite. It's scarier, more brutal, and more cold blooded. I like the characters better. Part 2 is just bigger and more cgi. Part 1 all the way. Kyle Reese is the best.
@@ColdBloodedBastardboth are great in their own way:
The 1st movie is a slasher flick with a sci-fi twist
The 2nd movie is an action blockbuster with horror elements thrown in.
@@filipvadas7602 Agree best sequels ever released.
1st movie is clearly the better film.
The fact that Cameron couldn't just throw money around to solve his script problems gives the first movie the edge, or so I've always thought. It's a story stripped to the bare essentials, as all great stories are who first evolved in the oral tradition before being set down in writing : all the superfluous fat has been cut off. T2 also has a real mean streak to it : whereas the death of Ginger is meant to terrify, the killing of John's parents is played entirely for laughs. Too the dozens of people knee-capped by Arnold : har-har so funny! I never liked how the sequel cribs generously from the first one either, featuring an almost beat-for-beat retread of the 3rd act, minus the clever ending. Was it a little on the nose? sure! But setting the climax in a robotics factory invites us to consider that humanity may be the architect of its own demise . . .
William Wisher (officer 1L19!) and Cameron sequestered themselves in a hotel room for two weeks to bang out T2 and it shows; whereas T1 had begun as a fever-induced nightmare (Cameron had gotten extremely sick on the set of, iirc, PIRANHA 2) that he then wrote and polished over a period of months. Fun Fact : Lance Hernriksen was originally cast as the the terminator (they met on PIRANHA 2) since the cyborg is meant to be an INFILTRATION unit after all! Original detailed drawings from Cameron show this and I have to say the dude is a wonderful draftsman.
To me, the greatest part of this movie is that when Kyle Reese was wondering what Sarah was thinking of at that exact moment the picture was taken. Turns out she was thinking of Kyle. Lovers lost beyond time.
No she wasn't, she wasn't thinking about him at that time because she didn't meet him until he went back to the past. And Kyle only became John's dad when you got sent back to the past. We never find out who originally was going to be his dad before Kyle went back to the past
That's a good catch/point that I never thought about.
@@antoineporche-rideaux4841She 100% was thinking about Kyle. She gives this very pic to John to GIVE to Kyle - the reason she did this is because she was already pregnant with John and knew that he would need to give it to Kyle so he'd go back in time and fall in love with her. It's really screwy because it creates like 10 paradoxes but that's the logic behind the film
@@antoineporche-rideaux4841there was no "original" dad. It's a loop.
Quantum Entanglement
Harlan Ellison wrote a short story titled: Soldier From Tomorrow which was later turned into an episode of the tv show The Outer Limits which is said to be an influence on the story of Terminator. Glad you finally got to see this 80s classic. Just goes to show you what a great storyteller like James Cameron can do with a small budget and a lot of imagination.
"I have no mouth, and I must scream" by Harlan Ellison also reminds me about the main story line of Terminator... or vice versa
Harlan Ellison is also an author of at least one Star Trek TOS episodes.
@@klm23.98 And episodes of Babylon 5. But to note, the "Acknowledgement" to Harlon Ellison, was because the idea of the Terminator bore the tiniest passing resemblance to a couple of his stories and the studio was worried he was going to sue them. Harlon Ellison was infamous for suing people for plagiarism on the weakest of grounds
@@weldonwin He threatened to sue, so they wrote in the acknowledgement just to npacify him. But James Cameron always claimed that Harlan Ellison's lawsuit was baseless and harbored deep resentment over the matter. From what I have heard of it (and about Ellison), I can hardly blame him. Ellison was a great writer but a very difficult man to get along with,
James Cameron did not have a small budget ; that was a real robot that they built for the movie with human operated controls hung from a cable from above !
Michael Biehn was the true emotional pivot point in this film. Cameron really selected him well for this film and also for "The Abyss".
michael biehn is my favorite in this film.
also Great in Aliens, even the Rock for the short time he was in that film lol
@@Corvenik1 HECK yah. Biehn in everything he did was almost always a home run. Johnny Ringo... Koffee (Abyss)... Hicks... Anderson--all of 'em! One of the best action stars over multiple generations, and he's never really been *THE* star... and that's OK. If anything, that is what makes him so great. It's the fact that he shines brightly no matter WHAT. :)
The Terminator is definitely not just one of the greatest action films, but one of the greatest movies of the 80s! I love Terminator 2: Judgement Day better, but this one holds a special place in my heart.
Also doubles as a solid horror film kinda
same
@@alarrim29574I consider it a slasher film. It has the same tropes, it’s just a futuristic robot instead of a knife wielding slasher
Terminator 2 also holds a special place in my childhood. I saw it in theaters with my Dad and my friend. I have enjoyed all the movies. LOVE this franchise!
@@rjcommentary4580 well slasher is also horror😂
I love the "he's a robot, he can hack into the computer". This very nit picky so don't take it too seriously but cars didn't have computers then. Just made me chuckle and realize how old I am.
Feeling a bit... Oldsmobile?
I'm getting tf outta here.
@@pablom-f8762 I laughed way too hard at that. Also, Olds Cutlass was my first car
First car with a computer was in 1968 though, this movie came out in 1984
lol me too
Yeah back in the day not stealing cars was kinda on the honor system if descriptions of how easy it was to hotwire them are accurate.
What'll really bake your noodle is when you realize that John Connor was,....a) born before his father Kyle,.....and b) older than his father when he sent him back meaning his father never got to live as old as he was when he first met him.
Also, you have to wonder if John basically played matchmaker and put the pieces in place in convincing Kyle to "volunteer" to go back in time for the mission (by, like, maybe giving him the photo of his mom)........knowing that he had not other choice because if Kyle doesn't go back in time, John is never born and never exists.
In other words, John only exists because of a decision he makes, and in reality he shouldn't exist at all.
He's a literal walking talking Bootstrap Paradox.
It's great that you two recognized Bill Paxton (Hudson) as well as the actor who played Bishop the android from Aliens, however for whatever reason people never recognize Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn) played Corporal Dwayne Hicks in Aliens as well. James Cameron likes to reuse actors he has worked with in the past as he knows what he can expect from their acting. Bill Paxton was also in Titanic as was the actress also from Aliens who played Vasquez was in Titanic as well, also watch for her in Terminator 2 Judgment Day.
Don't forget Bill Paxton in Twister also and Michael Biehn played Johnny Ringo in Tombstone.
@nealblue6413 Michael Biehn was also in The Abyss also a James Cameron directed movie.
@@nealblue6413 - and let's not forget his recent role in Mandalorian (Season 2, Episode 5).
Also the previous role in "The Abyss" (worth watching too as this is also a James Cameron movie).
@bradbarter8314 - what is more interesting, that one of the Terminators (in the scene when Reese is remembering the past, when he is sitting with Sarah, in some kind of tunel, dogs are barking, and the Terminator is inside the compound....). The "Terminator" in that scene is Franco Columbu, a long time friend of Arnold, back when they all started in US (even when they were working as bricklayers, and doing bodybuilding contents).
@@tannhauser5399 Yes, Franco was Arnold's long time friend and training partner. He won Mr Olympia the next year both times Arnold retired. Arnold won 1970-75. Franco won in 1976. Arnold came back and won again in 1980. Franco won in 1981.
I love how they attributed that many of the same actors in this film being the same ones in the Aliens films as "the 80's just using the same actors", rather than the fact it was the same director and that the two films were only two years apart lol. James Cameron is known for bringing a lot of the actors he likes back into future projects. Michael Biehn in the Abyss, Terminator 1, and Aliens (Kyle Reese is Hicks in Aliens). Bill Paxton in Aliens, True Lies, Ghosts of the Abyss, Titanic, and Terminator. Arnold in Terminator 1, T2, and True lies. Sigourney Weaver in Aliens and Avatar 1 and 2. Kate Winslet in Titanic and Avatar 2, etc.
Michael Biehn was almost not on Aliens , he replaced James Remar from 48 hours
Sigourney is in Avatar 2? I thought that she died in the first one.
@WrathOfGrapesN7 She did die. I don't want to spoil it if you haven't already watched the second film, but she has a scene where her character, Grace, comes back in a vision. She also voices Kiri, who is one of the main characters.
Dang it, I forgot Kyle and Hicks share the same actor
Some directors prefer to use the same actors over and over. David Lynch is another one.
My favorite thing about this movie… Kyle said that he had the photo of Sarah and always wondered what she was thinking about when it was taken. She was thinking about him. That gets me every time.
And Matt didn’t do anything wrong except dirty talk the wrong girl by mistake. Cut him some slack.
He's trying an unarmed fight against a killing machine from the future to save his GF and all they see is toxic masculinity. The programming has worked perfectly.
@@Toolness1 Todd was trying to defend himself and someone he cared about. If defending yourself and your "family"/friends is "toxic masculinity" then I wonder how much further we have to go before I decide to sit back and "watch the world burn". (also, he had no idea it was a machine)
This is the 1st time i noticed it (during this reaction), a moment ago.
If you do check out Terminator 2, ignore the other 4 sequels and instead check out the tv series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, which is a continuation of T2. It handles the expansion of lore way better than the films post-T2 and the only reason it didnt get more than 2 seasons was executive meddling. In terms of other sci-fi robot movies. I do recommend the director's cut of Robocop
T3 sucks, but the very ending is really good. Too bad the rest of the movie kinda sucks, particularly their choice for Terminator.
Well to me 1 and 2 are diamonds 3 had good ideas but it needed more polishing 4 i pass because of memory of Anton Yelchin. But the rest is garbage
Yes, yes, yes! The TV show is awesome, and does not get the love it deserves.
Love the first 2. 3rd and 4th was my guilty pleasure. and the rest when I'm bored.
i just have to come in defence of T4. Not just the actors did a great job but i really loved the question they made "whay makes us human"?and the post apocalyptic world (USA) they created, T4 is the best of the sequels
THese girls have no idea anymore how important motherhood is.....
im glad you pointed out how good the opening credits were. This is such a great movie, i actually watch this more then i do T2 (yes i know T2 is one of the best sequels out there)
But the original terminator has such a sci fi/horror vibe to it along with the 80s synth music and the 80s hair! cant beat it.
Classic movie and a great reaction.
T1>T2
The police weren’t responding to a call when they confronted Reese after he stole the bum’s pants. They were just on a routine patrol. Besides, Arnold killed those guys up at Griffith Observatory and it looked like Reese may have landed near downtown L.A. They’re about 6 miles apart from each other.
Because the movie makers knew that stop-motion would give the ‘Terminator’ skeleton a slow, jerky movement, they purposefully show it limping and dragging a damaged leg/foot when it begins to chase them. Otherwise it might not have been much of a chase.
Have you ever had that nightmare where you are being chased by a slow, lumbering monster, but even though you are running as fast as you can, the monster is always somehow right behind you, and just about to catch you? The limping, stop-motion Terminator reminds me of that.
so weird seeing young women watch 80s movies and appear offended by everything. This was how things were back then and it was better that way.
It's so fun watching people giggle when his says "I'll be back". Not a person on this planet who hasn't heard that somewhere and now they get to connect it to where it comes from.
Your reaction to the ol' school phone books was funny. I mean, I get it, but truthfully you can find out more about a person's life these days on the internet
Btw, back in the day, you did have the option to request that your name and address not appear in the phone book
I dug up some old college mail the other day from the 80s. My social security number was right there on the address label after my name.
Yeah, I dont what its like in america, but if I search for someones name or phone number on my country's yellow pages website I get their adress as well, and its much quicker than looking them up in a physical phone book.
@@Carrot421911no the book! Is quicker if you don't have a computer
@@Helgrimr I think it's far more wild that I can google any American's name plus vague details (approx. age/area) and in seconds get their address, phone number, their arrest record and worse info
It's so weird watching zoomers get uncomfortable or offended during sex scenes and not understand human emotion. Kinda sad watching the results of kids raised on the internet.
Just wanted the say the music in this movie absolutely slaps. The small part that plays as Sarah and Kyle escape the police station. Oo I can listen to that for hours
Love that piece!
So 80s.
It's so fun the costumes contexts. I live in Brasil and my parents showed me those movies (Alien, Robocop, Terminator...) when I was like 8-12 y.o. and I just loved them right away. My first trauma with Sci-fi was with Species from 95, but the other were just like inspirational. And those female figures like Sarah Connor and Ellen Ripley were just my strong female symbolism at the time until now. Can't wait to see what you'll feel after T2
Blade Runner is a must see. It's by Ridley Scott who also did Alien and while the stories have nothing to do with each other he's said they take place in the same universe. Interesting fact: parts of Blade Runner were shot in the Bradbury Building which also served as the location for "Demon With a Glass Hand," one of the Outer Limits episodes by Harlan Ellison that inspired The Terminator.
Blade Runner has the best visuals of the 80s sci-fi movies and it has a modern sequel. But if you prefer the 80s look, you could go for Dark City.
28:24 - "He's spooky looking.", "This animatronic is very unpleasant to look at." - At that point in the film, its skin is rotting, which is why there's a fly on its face, and why the maintenance guy smelled something. Terminators need some small support systems to keep their flesh alive, such as a pump to circulate blood. If that gets damaged from gunfire, its outer covering dies and starts to decay.
31:17 - "Be gentle!" - When Sarah was screwing the cap on the bomb, Reese told her to be gentle because he was worried about her causing a spark between the metal cap and the metal pipe. Roughly shoving them in a fabric bag can't cause a spark, so there's no chance of accidentally setting them off.
Something that EVERYONE overlooks: After the truck blows up, a burning figure staggers out and collapses on a bare patch of ground. A few seconds later, the terminator rises up from UNDER some debris. Did Cameron do this on purpose and not care that it was a continuity goof, or was there originally meant to be someone else in the truck?
I and millions of others can strongly recommend Blade Runner. Just don't go into it expecting an all out, gun slinging action romp like Terminator. Certainly, there are action scenes, but it's very much a detective story in the film noir style.
It's one of the finest examples of world building in film there has ever been, but is a much slower paced affair than most were expecting upon release and one that asks a lot of questions about what it means to be human. It's always been a particularly polarising film with a strong divide between those who love it and those who just didn't care much for it, but much of that can be traced back to which version of the film people experienced.
If you do decide to watch it, go with The Final Cut version and ask yourself one question at the end... what did Gaff know about who Dekkard really is? It may take a rewatch to pick up on some of the subtle hints (that fans still dispute to this day) to find your own answer... and it will be YOUR OWN answer, as each argument for and against Dekkard's true identity are just as valid, depending on your own interpretations and even the people who worked on the film can't seem to conclusively agree on who he really is 40 years later. It's a question that follows on into the sequel and those inconclusive hints are there too, but quite rightly left open by the writers and director, is every bit as ambiguous as it is by the end of the first film. Like Dekkard, you have to become a detective when watching the film to put the pieces together and come to your own conclusion. It's quite a fascinating study of individual interpretation.
I can only imagine their "cringe" at the scene piano scene with Deckard and Rachel, esp. when Rachel wants to leave. Yeah, I'd rather they _not_ watch *Blade Runner.*
@@MikeHalk100 What are you talking about??
Sorry, but Deckard's identity isn't open to interpretation. He can only be ONE thing, or the movie means absolutely nothing.
Don't really get the Matt hate, he thought it was his GF on the phone. Sure I wouldn't do that myself but obviously he and Sarah are close which is why she didn't react negatively
The "really cool warrior lady" gets my vote for most badass female character ever (possibly tied with Ellen Ripley). Can't wait 'til you two react to T2.
Definetively EVEN with Ripley. Side by side, shoulder to shounder.
Ripley was a badass from the start. Sarah Connor had a progression from an airhead to a female Terminator.
@@lewisnerT-X has nothing on Sarah Connor
She was never an airhead. What film did you watch? She was just this normal girl in her mid 20s in the first movie.@@lewisner
@@Andy2481 I saw the Terminator in a cinema the first week it was released. Do you not understand that people can have different opinions to you about a fictional character ?
Lovely touch that Kyle says he always wondered what Sarah was thinking about in the photo - but it turns out she was thinking about him....
I love this movie, and it was my mom's favorite movie. The sequel is just as amazing. I can't wait to see you're reactions on it!!
Sarah Connor is such an amazing lead, Linda Hamilton is an amazing actress. She goes from being your average 80's person just living her life to one of the most bad ass women in movie history. Between her and Ellen Ripley, they are top tier action icons.
Never seen a movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger in it!!??? My God...
If the first film is ‘fire’, the second one is nuclear fallout. It’s easily the best film of the franchise. I can’t wait to see your reaction to it. 🙂
I saw Terminator 2 when it first came out and left the theater blown away. It's easily the BEST sequel ever and one of the movies ever made...
Who knows? The girl on the right might actually achieve her lifelong dream of talking over ALL the dialogue of an entire film.
@mr.ekshin they have to talk over the dialogue or the video will not be allowed to be monetized. They may even have had to upload more than once and do edits to get it to pass youtube guidelines.
@@Npc2thousand - Yes... tell us you don't understand the rules, without actually coming out and saying it. Brilliant!
@@Mr.Ekshin are you vaccinated?
We still get the phone book, and it still has the addresses in it.
What always bothered me about the film was the time paradox.
If you take it seriously, there should be an endless loop here. What do I mean by that?
Sarah becomes pregnant through Kyle, and her son sends Kyle back. But how can this come about?
In the first timeline there would have to be a Kyle who goes back into the past without a son to impregnate/save Sarah.
Without this imaginary Kyle, John would not exist at all, and therefore no one would save Sarah.
The question can be asked as to whether Kyle will stumble across the time machine in the future, use it, and thus end up in the past and create the endless time loop himself by getting to know Sarah and getting her pregnant.
So without having been instructed by anyone beforehand to get to know this woman.
One could also explain the paradox by saying that people created a resistance on their own, namely in the very first timeline.
Then they would have looked where machine anomalies could be discovered and would have come across the three murdered Sarahs.
So they would then have decided to send the volunteer Kyle back, and so they would have John as a leader, who might lead the resistance better and faster.
I thought a little about how this whole thing could be explained. 😂
It always kills me how younger people freak out over a name in a phonebook. Meanwhile they have basically every detail of their lives available online. Also you are tracked 24/7 numerous different ways with geolocating phones and also the tracking built into your car. Add thousands of cameras tracking your every movement. and ya'll worried about a phonebook??? very unaware of reality id say
Plus credit and depit cards and sometimes multiple customer cards from different shops.
The Thing, Terminator, Predator, Stargate, Alien/Aliens, Blade Runner, these are some of the best science fiction ever put to film. Ex-Machina and Dune 2021 are good as well (Arrival is also a good sci-fi movie, but not as many people enjoyed it it seems).
Arrival is underrated in my opinion. Super smart and intriguing movie.
Yes, that was Bill Paxton. He was the first actor to be killed onscreen by a Terminator, a Xenomorph and a Predator. Since then, Lance Henrikson's unlocked the achievement too.
Edit: "I don't think they did time paradoxes back then." Said about a movie released 1 year before Back to the Future 🤣
It's Predator 2, where Paxton's character was killed...
Yeah, the only person killed by the Terminator, Predator and Alien.
Lance Henrikson wasn't killed by an Xenomorph, Bishop survived getting ripped in half, but he does get an honorary pass on that one. Jeanette Goldstein, who played Vasquez has also been killed by a Terminator, a Xenomorph and an Iceberg and Michael Biehn has been killed by a Terminator, the Ocean, a cowboy and a Mandalorian.
@@weldonwin I know no-one likes to think about Alien 3, but canonically Bishop was rendered non-functional by a facehugger while in the sleeping capsule (which might undermine the "onscreen" part of my original comment). Cool facts about Goldstein and Biehn, though, I hadn't thought about them!
@@danesorensen1775 There is no Alien 3 in Ba Sing Se...
I love this movie to death. It’s such a classic. That said, there’s one scene that makes me role my eyes. 5:48, no gun store would EVER have boxes of live ammunition out on the counter like that. Would NEVER happen. All ammo is kept under lock and key until it’s purchased, to prevent exactly what happened in that scene.
This is one of my fav movies growing up in the 80's, i was born in 1980 and my parents owned a video shop back when VHS was the format and I watched everything, almost and this is definitely in the top ranked best 80s of all time....Im amazed sometimes when I see the younger generations never have seen or experienced these movies, makes me feel old and having different perspectives, also shows how media influences us as a species.
The credit to Harlan Ellison was added due to the studio perceiving the similarity to two Outer Limits episodes written by him. "Demon with a Glass Hand" and "Soldier" dealt with themes of Apocalypse, Time Travel, and Cyborgs.
5:40 - "Any one of these is ideal for home defense."
One of my favorite lines in the movie.
the girls react series is so good! i love seeing them react to these classics
Oh, T-800 didnt hack into that cars computer (it didnt have any computer). He just grabbed starting switch and turned it.
This is what I found on the internet about Harlan Ellison:
"After the film’s release, science-fiction writer Harlan Ellison argued that the movie was based largely on an episode of The Outer Limits Ellison had written, titled “Soldier.” Though details of a settlement were never disclosed, later releases of The Terminator include a credit acknowledging Ellison’s influence."
You two are quickly becoming my favorite reaction channel to re-watch movies with. 🙌
23:37. That giggle was adorable 😁🤣 "I'll be back...."
It's an original story by James Cameron who came up with the idea when “The Terminator came from a dream that I had while I was sick with a fever in a cheap pensione in Rome in 1981. It was the image of a chrome skeleton emerging from a fire. When I woke up, I began sketching on the hotel stationery, The first sketch I did showed a metal skeleton cut in half at the waist, crawling over a tile floor, using a large kitchen knife to pull itself forward while reaching out with the other hand. In a second drawing, the character is threatening a crawling woman. Minus the kitchen knife, these images became the finale of The Terminator almost exactly.”. Harlan Ellison wrote an Outer Limits episode called "soldier" based on a short story he wrote about two people going back in time with one tracking down the other to fight him, and another one called "Demon with a Glass Hand" where the main character has a "robotic" hand. Harlan saw an advanced screening of the film and decided James Cameron had ripped him off, so he sued him and they settled for 65000 dollars and an "Acknowledgment" in the credits.
See “The Running Man” with Arnold Schwarzenegger also. “True Lies” excellent action also with Arnold…and “ Demolition Man “ with Sylvester Stallone….AND Blade Runner” is also a must. “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” is also a classic.
@6:07 “I’m getting a very strong sense that he has very little motivating him to not kill anyone”…
(Me thinking/quoting) “Of course, he’s a Terminator” 😉
Ripley and Sarah Connor are the strongest female characters in the movies, made at the time when there wasn't such a hysteria about feminism as we have it now. They don't look cartoonish as many heroines now, you can see how hard it was for them to do what they did, but you still believe them and in them. I love James Cameron, and everything he did. This movie is quite brutal, but I re-watch it from time to time, when I'm in that mood. Thanks for your reaction, girls! I'm looking forward to the next one!
Exactly, Ripley, Connor, Vásquez... All of them Rambo compared to actual female heroes
Michael Biehn career summed up. Played great roles in movies like Terminator and Aliens but nobody ever remembered him.
"He can hack into the (car) computer"
A computer in a car in 1984? The computer would cost more than the car.
T1 is great 👍
T2 is AMAZING 🙌
9:02 Lance Henrickson was originally cast as The Terminator, you can see the original promotional still featuring him, and you can see that for the final Schwarzenegger poster they literally just cut Henrickson out and laid the matte over a picture of Arnold.
Because he didn't get to play the robot in THIS James Cameron movie, Henrickson was invited to play the robot in the NEXT James Cameron movie.
Yes, directors DO like working with the same actors with whom they have a good rapport, and actors like working with filmmakers who they trust.
Getting the same actors in a new movie is an indicator that the director and the actors actually enjoy working together.
Harlan Ellison wrote a short story called "Soldier" for the Twilight Zone TV series, which is about two soldiers fighting in a future battlefield that are zapped into the past by some sort of energy weapon. One soldier is trapped in time limbo but the other materializes in 1964 and is treated like an alien visitor, ending up living with a family in that time. Later in the story, the other soldier escapes limbo to also show up in 1964 and the first soldier sacrifices himself to kill the second to protect the family. Anyway, the similarity to the Terminator story and Harlan Ellison being a very cranky litigious guy who had a lot of his ideas stolen in the past led to a lawsuit against the movie. Cameron paid him an undisclosed amount and mentioned him in the credits to settle the lawsuit.
If you love robot movies, you could try watching the granddaddy of them all, Fritz Lang's Metropolis, from 1927 - very few people have done a reaction to that. The original Westworld from 1973 is also really worth checking out.
Well, there's a reason very few people do reactions to Silent movies. It's an amazing work for its time, but it's still a silent movie and it doesn't really translate well to modern audiences
This was Cameron's first film. What a debut, huh?
Harlan Ellison was a bit of a litigious fellow, to put it mildly. There are A LOT of sci-fi writers who crafted future war stories with machines, robots, or super computers taking over the world. This was not a new concept by any means. Cameron just happened to be one of the unlucky ones to find himself in Ellison's crosshairs, and as part of a settlement had to acknowledge him in the credits or face having the movie scrapped. If anything, The Terminator robot assassin idea was a kind of homage to Michael Crichton's novel "Westworld" and its movie adaptation. To be specific, the Gunslinger character, played by Yul Brynner in the movie... a steely-eyed, remorseless, seemingly unstoppable robot villain that goes haywire and starts a murderous rampage.
Reese: "You're son Sarah"
You guys: "Agh no...what? That's it?"
Yeah that whole being the mother of the future and being the one to give birth, raise, nuture and build up humanity's savior, there's nothing special about that. Motherhood is just so 80's right. A little bit of that current day social/feminist conditioning kicking in there just a tad. The reaction was fine it's just I've never heard anyone react to that moment in this movie with "That's it?"
Typical modern day zoomer feminist mindset. They also think Matt is a creep when he's clearly protective and Sarah obviously thinks highly of him.
Also not recognising Michael Biehn is a crime
Yeah, that phonebook... everybody got auto-registered unless you explicitly tell them not to or limit it to phone number only (yes, it included address). Back in the days people weren't so afraid of each other... and didn't get in each other's s all the time. The 80 were wild.... no, it's current times that are wild and getting wilder (mass shooting for one). This movie and the Conan the Barbarian movies Arnold was his peak physique... and as a wannabe bodybuilder back then the first time seeing him was an inspiration, I was in awe. Love the movie though it's a bit dated now but the story is still solid and with AI being the new best thing very actual too!
No hacking required with those cars, this was an age before immobilisers 😅 Great reaction and looking forward to T2 when you get to it.
This is such a reflection of generational changes. Easily stressed, easily shocked, expecting the woman to be the centre of things, emoting over made up extras getting shot, giggling like 10 year olds, and being weirded out by two people having sex etc. Depressing.
"I think he's got all these robot skills that allow him to hack into the computer." ☺ Dear sweet Stella, I know you weren't alive then, but steering wheels/cars didn't have computers in 1984!! It's a simple switch--when you turn the key it connects two contact points and that sends current from the battery to the starter, which starts the car. 😉 Think light switch. Arnold just bypassed the ignition (key) and turned the switch directly. 😘❤💐
Calm down Beavis, that car, like most others did indeed have a computer. Every car since 1968 had at least a simple computer for ignition. Also fuel injection cars of that era had a separate computer for that...but just the ignition yes that would be just hard wired
I really like the way the terminator cuts the gils" heads)) The effect even stronger, because their heads are mostly silent while they are cut)) 😱😱
Alien/Aliens and Terminator/Terminator 2 are the holy binity of horror movies into action-heavy sequels. T2 and Aliens are both VERY different from the first films in the series, but absolutely rock.
Also, this is rapidly becoming my favorite duo on UA-cam!
Id say Predator and Predator 2 should be included
EhhhHhhhh, I have to disagree. I don't think that Predator 2 was very good, and CERTAINLY wasn't as good as T2/Aliens, imho. The first Predator is exceptional, though! @@TheAngryMoth104
The endoskeleton at the end was both stop motion and a shoulder mounted 1:1 puppet for the close up shots.
In your outro you said "i was expecting time travel shenanigans. I don't think that was much of a thing in media."
It was.
Definitely.
Just one year after Terminator came out, Hollywood treated us to Back to the Future. No spoilers in case you haven't seen it, but the title gives you the clue: it's all about time travel with plenty of shenanigans, paradoxes, and even a temporal junction point for the entire space-time continuum.
And no, Back to the Future was not the first book or movie featuring time travel (movies as early as the 1920s featured time travel, and Mark Twain and HG Wells both wrote books about time travel in the 19th century).
27:41, the Terminators always target dogs as well as humans. With their heightened sense dogs can instantly tell the difference between a man and a Terminator.
According to the novel, dogs are not considered pets anymore. Dogs in Kyle’s team are viewed fellow soldiers in the war for survival.
There is a beautiful scene in the book where Kyle is eating his first piece of pizza. He sees a stray dog and stops to feed it.
29:50 Mothballs are cedar or plastic with a coating and/or filler of cedar oil, which moths hate, so people traditionally store furs, which moth larvae love, in cedar chests with cedar balls, which moths hate.
It's funny. I worked IT until recently and worked a lot with IT Security. Co-workers outside of IT used to make comments like, "You must have a fully smart house and all the gadgets, huh?"
"No. I do this for a living. I know what people with bad intentions can do."
Worked with Wayne Stone on a WB show many moons ago. He was the truck driver of the semi truck. Wayne, is a great guy
Fun fact:
Cyberdyne (founded 2004) is a Japanese robotics and technology company most noted for the marketing and distribution of the HAL robotic exoskeleton suit.
Bill Paxton the only actor to get killed by an alien, a predator and a terminator, rip Bill Paxton
I enjoyed watching this with you two ladies. I wrote something about a scene in this movie a while ago:
In the film 'The Terminator' when Reese is initially arrested & both himself & Sarah Connor are taken to the police station, the detective in charge tells Sarah to 'relax & take a nap.' His reasoning for this statement is 'There's thirty cops in this building.' This gross underestimation of the situation by the detective is analogous to the situation humanity has always found itself in, in this world.
None of those thirty cops were ready for what was occurring because they had no idea of the severity of the situation; of what a terminator was or what its mission was. They weren't prepared with detailed facts of what the threat entailed or how ill prepared & ineffective their method of defence or weaponry would be.
Reese, on the other hand, just one man, was aware of all of the facts, intimately so. And because he knew exactly what he was up against, he was able to take every precaution to give himself a fighting chance.
If we don't know there's a threat, we don't look for one. We don't take precautions or look for solutions.
How do you think this might relate to the world we find ourselves in? This world was supposed to have been created by a perfect God who is caring and loving. Yet all around us is pain, suffering, and injustice. Why do you think that is so?
My answer to your final question would be that God is perfect...man is not. The pain, suffering and injustice, in my opinion, is because we were given free will and a lot of people chose poorly. I absolutely love your in-depth character study. Great minds think alike, I guess. :)
It's wild seeing your guys reaction and the horror on your face. I'm 30 and I saw this as a freaking kid 😂
Need to see part 2 is one of the Best movies ever.
LOL, I think people do wind up hooking up in stressful and life threatening times.
Harlan Ellison filed a BS lawsuit when this film came out. The production company paid him off to make him go away. James Cameron is still super pissed about it.
James Cameron the director of both Aliens and The Terminator came up with the idea of this film after he had a nightmare about a robot skeleton chasing him
AI, which takes over?
The roots are far before "Terminator". See "Demon Seed" (1977), "Colossus" (1970), even partially classics like "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968) or "Metropolis" (1927).
Professor Wikipedia says “Mothballs are small balls of chemical pesticide and deodorant, sometimes used when storing clothing and other materials susceptible to damage from mold or moth larvae (especially clothes moths like Tineola bisselliella).”
There are a few sci-fi body horror films from the 70s you would all get something out of. They are The Stepford Wives (1975), COMA (1978) and Invasion Of The Body Snatchers (1978).
Based on a book? In the Rambo 2 bonus content DVD, James Cameron mentioned that while on the set of Piranha, he had nightmares, he hated working there, and one of them was about a robot from the future that came back to kill him.
The thing about TERMINATORS is that they're ROBOTS and made in a factory, so there's a certain model (Cyberdine Systems Model 101 in Ah-nuld's case) that looks a certain way, so he can come back however they want. It doesn't have to be the exact same Terminator, just the same model number.
In future movies there's a T-1000, and a Rev-9 and other models, too.
Lance Henriksen from this movie and Aliens, is in Pumpkinhead from this decade which is phenomenal.
Unfortunately , the Terminator 2 reaction is lost. Thanks YT
I advise you to watch the Terminator 2 Extended Director's version, it is much more interesting and there are many important points for the plot. In general, part 2 is my favorite, since childhood I watched this movie in the 90s it was often shown on TV!
40:34 Regarding Harlan Ellison, if I am not mistaken Terminator is not based on any of his stories/books, but he just sued the movie, and then got his name added at the end.
The actress who plays Sarah Connor in this movie was also in 2 other movies : Children Of The Corn . And " Kong Lives "
The bit with the T-850 after it has it's flesh burned off was actually an 1:1 scale anamatronic torso worn and opperated by a puppeteer below it, at least for shots of it that didn't show it's legs. Arnold originally wanted to play the part of Kyle Reese also, but he got the T-850 role instead.
I watched this movie when I was 7 y.o. Now I am 40.
Great reaction! "Blade Runner" (final cut) is a must-watch! You'll also like "RoboCop". Also from 1984, a very under-appreciated "Starman" starring Jeff Bridges. Impressed you know of Harlan Ellison. I think by the time I was 20 (in 1977 - yikes) I'd read pretty much every thing he had published up to then. For anyone getting into science fiction, his short stories make an excellent gateway. I met him at a book signing in 1980, when his collection "Shatterday" was released. This was in East Lansing, MI, just off the MSU campus; there had to have been >50 people waiting in line. Pretty cool.
yes though I've always thought ellison wasn't that great as a writer know he did a great job encouraging and promoting younger authors⚛
No-one has notice this but while the Terminator was looking for Sarah Connor name in the phone book, it has it other hand pointing at *John Connor* name.
41:00 . . . To answer your question, the regional story and characters, Sarah, Connor, and John Connor were stolen, taken from an actual screenplay, called The Eye of the Oracle, 1981 by Sophia Stewart. The same screenplay/story/book that was used to make The Matrix.
Harlan Ellison wrote an episode of “The Outer Limits” 60s TV series titled “Soldier” which bore certain similarities to this. Whether this was intentional or not, Cameron decided to acknowledge it in the end titles.
The second Terminator movie is the best of All!! I saw this one in the the theaters, for that time was and still great story! Nice watching again with your comments and impressions!
Kyle Reese is one of the most badass characters of all time. He's a real survivor from a world of pain and suffering
12:47 This scene actually makes no sense because noise-canceling headphones existed but they were huge and Ginger is clearly wearing the basic, cheap-o headphones.
Fun fact one: Terminator 1 was cheap independent sci-fi, Terminator 2 was the most expensive movie ever back when it was released.
Fun fact two: Bil Paxton is the only person that was killed by Terminator, Alien, and Predator.
why does this 80s movie seem so more real?
It’s eerie how they were predicting future parts of the movie in real time
I saw this film 20 years ago and even at that small age the last scene broke me.
