Shame that masonic satanist and pizza and pasta loving pedos of Hollywood turned Ferlong into escapistic junkie, just like they did to Kalkin, both was such a good actors.
Come on Critic! We all thought OJ Simpson was this nice honest guy who wouldn't stab a fly.. but boy were we all wrong.. If James Cameron was smart he can make OJ Simpson the villain in a film and I bet it will be a hit..
Can we talk about how in Terminator 2 when the T-1000 chased John for the first time, the actor who played the T-1000 actually ran too fast and kept accidentally catching up to the bike John was riding so he needed to be told to intentionally run slower.
Critic, my dad worked at the building next door to where the T2 Cyberdyne scenes were shot. As a result, when he found out about the shooting schedule through the company staff, we ended up camping out in our Chevy Astro in the parking lot while Arnold was firing off the mini-gun. The ironic part of it all, we were watching “Masters of the Universe”(1987) on a portable tv while Cameron was filming.
@@ethanp5143, also related to the Miles Dyson deleted scene, “Raging Waters” is down Hwy 101 off the Tully Rd exit (same as the infamous Chuck E Cheese location with the 30 ft tall Chuck E Cheese statue in the display window facing the highway) just 30-45 minutes south of the Cyberdyne filming location. Cameron really did his homework when it came to capturing life in Silicon Valley in the early 90s.
@@chrisbullard5901 I thought of this too since I grew up in San Jose and knew about the filming in Fremont but wasn't there a Raging Waters down in the LA area too where the film was supposed to take place?
33:00 They were actually twins. The security guard got the role specifically because he had a twin brother. And Linda Hamilton's twin sister Leslie Hamilton worked as her stunt double. She also did the shot where there's two Sarah Conors in the steel factory and the shot where they open the terminator's skull to remove his chip.
Can you imagine if the T-X had been Linda's twin sister, and the whole time the Terminator paraded around as Sarah Conner in an attempt to murder John, or Kyle. Or whatever... I mean, just a passing thought.
Fun fact, the owners of the minigun were pretty upset that Arnold just dropped it, but Cameron said a real Terminator would not just place it down 'nicely' and compensated any damage. It was also not firing at 100% speed.
There is a warning though or at least its foreshadowed, when Kyle says to Sarah that John's father dies before the war. Which means that Kyle likely knew he was going to his death when he volunteered for this
Though Lance Handrickson comes close by being killed by a Terminator and a Predator, Janette Goldstein being killed by a Terminator, an alien and an iceberg and Michael Bien has been killed by a Terminator, the Ocean and a Mandalorian
Did Bill’s punk character die though? We only saw the other guy die and from what we know from these movies is that the terminator gets what it wants whether or not the other person is willingly giving it
@@axelnilsson5124 he is hit and we never see him get up so assume he is. Remember he killed the gun shop guy for no reason and every cop he killed was just in his way, they couldn't stop him so he killed them as well. I can't think of any that survived a direct encounter because the land lord was through the door conversation.
Bill Paxton has the worst luck in films, he got killed by the t-800, killed by a Xeno, killed by the City Hunter Predator, killed by Arnold in True Lies (even thought that was a dream), had to survive a giant twister, you get the point.
Corridor Crew is doing some great work shining a big ol' spotlight on stunt actors with their ongoing "Stunt Performers React" series. Thanks to them, I'm starting to know several stunt actors by name and recognize them in movies as well as developing a much deeper and fuller appreciation for their hard, dangerous work.
I think the reason why they aren’t or haven’t been giving Oscars for stunts is because so many people will try to out-stunt the others to the point where it will be very dangerous and life threatening, even though they already are. But they they will pull anything for an Oscar, even if it takes their life, so I don’t think the Oscars would encourage that.
The ending of T2 always gets me, ever since I was a little boy watching it. I grew up with shitty step dad's, so I felt John Connor's pain and yearning for a good, loving father.
Putting these all together makes it VERY clear why there's so much Terminator expanded universe lore. Super futuristic terminators guarding the time line to prevent certain futures, alternate realities where they fight Xenomorphs, taking these wild concepts that are just hinted at in the movies and actually doing something creative with them.
The other ending to salvation makes SO much sense. JOHN CONNOR grows up knowing he will be a legend, so he is assertive, self important, speechy and reckless. When this gets him killed he is replaced by a superhuman with knowledge of skynet... But also with an identity crisis. He wants to prove he is good enough to be human, and tries living up to the legend of JOHN CONNOR. This is why he became a legend. He was a superhuman people pleaser trying to be cool. This even sets the stage for Genisys. He never belives in himself, so he uppgraded to much. Now he is a tool of skynet. He really calls himself JOHN CONNOR and he belives it now, but can kill "his parents" because he isnt John, just a deusional terminator.
Oh my God I never realized the reason Arnold says "come with me if you want to live" in T2 is becauseJohn Connor would have programmed that into the T800 as a sort of safe word/phrase to get his mother to realize he is on her side. Its all on Sarah's face from fear to stunned recognition. John would have known he needed to program that phrase into the terminator either because he knows it from his mom telling him OR he lived this situation before in T2 therefore in the future adult John remembers what the terminator said that got his mom to trust it, programing into the machine before sending it back to protect young John, boom closed loop paradox! Not just callbacks but callbacks with meaning!
@@Maxmellow94I agree. Can't see him knowing that specific phrase and then saying it to Sarah specifically unless he was intentionally programmed to do so
I remember the nuke scene from T2 to this day as the most accurate depiction of a real one. By God, the effects have to come back to that level of quality.
yeah for the longest time like 20+ years i always thought of that part but never knew what it was from and one day i watched T3 then watched T1 then T2 then i found it
You actually had me laughing out loud at my desk at work with your scene about what if Arnold acted in the first movie the way the lady terminator acts in the 3rd when she finds her target.
"You're gonna need a bigger boat", "Do you feel lucky?", "I'll be back", "I'll buy that for a dollar", "PHOENIIIIIIIIIIIIIIX!" "Game over Man - Game over", "Grandpa - are you sitting in the apple pie?" - "I sure hope so". 'Nuff said!
It took me twenty years to realize the significance of what stops Sarah from killing Dyson. She realized that she had become the very thing she hated most: a Terminator. A seemingly emotionless assassin who was trying to change the present to prevent the future. I think that's why she broke down. Just another reason why this movie is a masterpiece. The philosophical and moral questions are presented in a subtle way. They aren't thrust down the throat through 40 minutes of forced dialogue like modern movies.
T2 also took a great look into how man and machine do not entirely differ from each other whether it be that moment with sarah and dyson, or with the Terminator being a “father” figure to john and learning what it means to cry even if it can’t do that that’s how you make a great sequel, action and suspense but also looking into the philosophical questions of the plot and the nature of the subject, in his case where man and machine begin and end.
Funny enough, Arnold never once said "I'll Be Back" in Terminator 3. Yes, he does say Back twice, but it's only for the lines "She'll be back", and "I'm back.", the line "I'll Be Back" was apparently not apart of the T-850's vocabulary.
I remember The Terminator 1 and 2 as a child, the bathroom scene where the T-800 cuts out it's human eye as well as the stop motion from the first film as the back of the DVD/VHS box for Terminator 2 always scared me as a kid
I was allowed to watch Terminator 1 as a kid by my (back then) irresponsible older brother. The following night I had bad nightmares. So bad, I screamed so loud, my entire family was awake and next to my bed by the time I woke up.
@@thomaskositzki9424 my first ever Horror movie when I was a kid was Alien 1-4, strangely I wasn't scared at all but my brother who was 3 years younger than me was scared of one of the Alien films, this was when me and him were staying with our Aunt and Uncle who put on the films
The stop motion from the first film will always be creepy and in a good way! That lack of fluid movement makes the T-800's movements look so messed up.
@@skitariisoldier7367 I always find stop motion absolutely terrifying, never really liked watch Jason and the Argonauts or the old timey movies that focus primarily on stop motion things
@@moserfugger6363 I mean hears the thing effectively if the original ending stayed heres how i imagine it'd work tbh: John connor would still be important not just as a man fighting against machines but also as a story. something people can aspire too because without john the whole thing would crumble down but if they wanted to kill john off but still make him important they could've gone the original route and just had what's his face wear john's skin affectively making john connor in the eyes of the machines even more of a threat I doubt skynet would understand that one of their creations regardless of it's love for life would've taken on someone else's identity greetings from the us and i hope you're having a good time
Wow I really liked your point on T-X, she should have been able to be expert in social ethics, persuasion, manipulation, seduction, perfectly mimic human emotions and movement in addition to her existing traits. That would make her much more scary and threatening and memorable because her current version is just overshadowed by T-1000.
Frankly, every Terminator after the T-1000 seems like a downgrade, seeing as the T-1000 seemed so much smarter, stronger, faster and of course, nigh-unkillable
@@dannyfenton8826 The fact that it still has a physically solid endoskeleton suggests otherwise. As hard to destroy as the physical part may be, it still presents a point of vulnerability and can be destroyed by direct physical attacks. The T-1000 had a wider range of options as an infiltrator and was nigh-unkillable except under very specific circumstances where you can attack its molecular structure. I still argue that every Terminator after the T-1000 was a step backwards, at least until you are getting to truly broken stuff like the T-Infinity from the comics.
24:25 Fun Fact: the song in the background at the biker bar is sung by the guy who played Raoul in Panic Room... Also one of the cops who shoots Dyson is Hank from Breaking Bad.
according to a trivia i once saw the reason the T1000 looks more worn and has a harder time hiding it’s liquid skin towards the end is because it has been shot and blown up so much by the cast that by that time it was having trouble keeping itself together so that final grenade to the chest was indeed one of the final blows which i like, i like the fact that it wasn't 100% indestructible and had weaknesses.
The way it supposed to be.. Dong knows how to give a long lengthy stretch of content to last you until you are satisfied with the deep work he puts in to make his audience smile..
11:29 to be fair, in the mid 1980s, Body Armour carrying solid plates that could defeat larger calibre rounds was barely a thing and certainly most civilians would not be familiar with it. At that point even most militaries had little more than armour capable of providing some protection from fragmentation (if anything).
Give Arnie's Goodwill-Goodwill coat all the crap you want, but it conveys "brutal killer" far better than the leather jacket. Also, James Cameron scaring someone into financing his movie is 100% something I didn't bat an eye at. And let me just say, after all sorts of time watching people talking about the Terminator movies, I counted on you to make a Salute Your Shorts reference, and I was not disappointed.
@@Sparrows1121 If you watch the show Wednesday, Jenna Ortega doesn't blink in any of the shots in any of the episodes either. It's subtle if you're not looking for it, but it just subconsciously feels weird.
@@DamienBlade I have seen some of the episodes, and i think she does a good job. I guess its because she doesnt have alot of emotions to show like in Addams Family.
@@Sparrows1121 She does a great job. The character of Wednesday is pretty complex when you break her down. I was just pointing out that she doesn't blink in any of her shots. Through the entire season. The only reason I noticed it was because I remember Robert Patrick doing it.
I think it makes sense that they could delay/postpone Judgement Day, but they couldn't entirely avoid it. Sooner or later the technology was going to be invented. Humans were inevitably going to create and activate Skynet no matter what. Maybe they could change small details about who makes it, what it is called or when it is activated-- but it was always going to get made and turned on.
@@chasehedges6775 “The geometry of belief” personified in a distinctly different manner. Also the Terminator’s journey, while handled clumsily in film, is a nice take on the script of T2: “What would happen if your mission fails? I would become useless…” And given that’s a “read only” response before his chip is reset in the deleted scene, it’s nice that Dark Fate suggests in its own way that any sufficiently advanced artificial intelligence can evolve beyond its programming. Sure, the Iron Giant does it better and in less time, but I appreciate any effort to write a machine intelligence as not just cold and logical, but capable of emotional growth.
This is why I liked both Genisys and Dark Fate despite them getting torn by critics. They advanced the timeline, changed the name of Skynet and made John either the bad guy(Genisys) or dead(Dark Fate). They tried to actually advance the plot and people didn't get it or like it.
@@benjaminandrew9057 the fans have all been essentially asking for the future war that everyone has been asking for. That needs to be seen, and explored further, Salvation sort of tells about how the future war is after T3.
Yes, T2 is absolutely flawless and one of my all time favorite sci-fi action movies. The T-1000 is one of the greatest movie villains and watching him chase down John Connor with Nemesis Prime was one of the most awesome things I've ever seen. The first two movies are the only ones that are good enough for me to stick to because, not only does each sequel afterwards progressively suck more than the last, but they make no sense continuity wise. The Cyberdyne Systems building was destroyed along with Miles Dyson, the hand and microprocessor from the first T-800 (from 1984) and the T-1000 and current T-800, so none of the sequel events should have happened, they stopped Judgement Day. In fact, not only did John point this out in T3, but a good ending was filmed for T2 that was never used. Sorry but, as far as I'm concerned, just like the Michael Myers Halloween movies, in my eyes the first two are the only ones.
Eh, t2 is not flawless, but it’s is amazing there is no explanation for why a liquid terminator can go back in time when they say there is no way metal can come back there’s no way liquid metal can have human skin and still camouflage itself, and every time it goes fully liquid or liquid metal the skin would be lost. that’s the only plot hole in the whole film, but easily ignored.
My biggest problem with the reviews/justification for the terminators behavior in Dark Fate is that, the only reason T2's T-800 acts like that is because they turned his learning function on, in a deleted scene unfortunately.
I love that scene where it actually shows the power source popping out lol like that scene in judgement day where there’s a deleted scene showing John and Sarah removing the CPU I always hated that they left out these scenes that make the movie that much better…
52:45 Schwarzenegger really invested time to train himself not to close his eyes when shooting the gun because he's a machine and wouldn't to that. Her.. not so much..
16:09 "They throw a bomb in the tail pipe..." I thought that was the exhaust too when I was a kid, but big rigs use vertical exhaust pipes to avoid bowing exhaust directly on the trailer. The pipe into which the bomb is placed is actually used on fuel tankers (such as the one driven in the film) to store hoses for fuel transfer. It's accurate that those pipes would be on there as it is clearly a fuel tanker, however, there should definitely be a cover of some sort to prevent the hose from sliding out during acceleration or braking, and this would almost certainly be spotted on pre-trip as well as at a weigh station.
I feel like with Terminator Salvation, if they had it be vaegly similar to what it is like with the video game Terminator Resistance, where John Connor seems to be able to remember bits of other timelines (probably because future parent) such that he generally knows who, what, where, and when to deploy forces to win battles would make for a good reason as him being leader. If they did something like that here, or at least, hinted at that starting to become a reality for him, I think the film could have done better.
Salvation was a gem that had flaws Salvation is set before Connor becomes the official head of the resistance, which isa role he grows into over the course of the film, showing how he rose to the top this is interesting because it allows us to see a different side to the war and john connor’s life in war it also showed earlier attempts by cyber dyne and even sky net to get to a proper terminator unit that would later be their mainstream foot soldier and why Sky net goes with A.I instead of Androids, because the human side cannot be controlled or relied on to betray its humanity. the issue was they spent too much time on the politics between Michael ironside’s character and connor, and they had that horrible cgi Arnold fight scene that didn’t need to be there but sam worthington was great in that, and the concept of his version of terminator being a precursor to the ones we see alter on was interesting.
34:30... Ok... I can't stop admiring Robert Patricks dedication to the art. Those shots look like they hurt as hell. 37:40 ... ah yeah. My nightmare fuel for the following two weeks after I saw it. For some reason the idea of people getting their flesh ripped from their bones is somehow extra creepy to me. Same in Mars Attacks...
I just realized why NC is so likeable. He delivers his jokes the same way Weird Al does. And everyone loves Weird Al. Not accusing him of ripping off at all, just that he has that style.
Still a fan despite the controversy he has been involved in regarding Channel Awesome. The Pee Wee Herman samples in the Dark Fate review had me in stitches. 🤣That was so on point. 🤣🤣
The first 2 terminator movies are amazing to this day and I believe will be forever. Arnold and Patrick are great at being the menacing lifeless machines. And though not as good I think Salvation is a lot of fun. Always wanted a more in the future film and it was an enjoyable ride.
In T2 the fact that they give the heavily armed Arnold 3 chances to surrender but shoot the unarmed black scientist on sight is one of those shockingly telling scenes that probably wasn't intended...
4:09 Fun Fact: Bill Paxton is the only actor to have been killed by an Alien, Predator, and Terminator. It’s kinda similar to how Kyle Chandler is the only actor to appear in a Godzilla movie, King Kong movie, and a film with Godzilla & Kong in it!
In T2, do you think the Psychiatrist was on Cyberdynes payroll to ensure she never got out of the psych ward? The scene where their interview is recorded could be interpreted as just having video recordings of each session or it could be that Cyberdyne is gathering as much Intel on the T1 Terminator, from their discussions. It also transitions from her saying "they don't exist" to seeing Cyberdyne have arm, not only proving her correct it did exist but maybe even as a hint between the two institutions.
I don’t think he was paid by cyber dyne first because Cyberdyne had no idea who sarah connor was or how she was involved with the terminator, as she was arrested for trying to blow up one of their computer labs, nothing to do with the original terminator crime scene where they got the tech from cyber dyne has also not developed sky net yet so there would be no reason to silence her about something they haven’t made yet and even then they have no idea that sky net will betray humanity. he’s the psychiatrist they bring in to council Sarah in the first film after her room mate was killed and she was kidnapped
Terminator 3 may not be a good movie, but I always loved the scene where the original model fights the new terminator by smashing urinals over her head and pushing her through bathroom stall walls. It's a brutal, hand to hand fight, and you can see that he's losing by increments even though he's very durable.
I was so hyped by Genysis ... The recreation of the 1984 sequence were great in the trailer. The 'alternate universe' thing was really growing on me. Then I saw the movie ... *sigh*
I really find it funny that Terminator 2 had that anti gun thing with the kids despite most of the movie showing you can use gun effectively with out killing people
@@knightmare5097 Maybe the point is that guns should only be used in extreme cases instead of the scene where the little boys were treating guns like toys.
Terminator: A top-notch horror film that could use a minor update on the stop-motion effects. Terminator 2: A top-notch action film that redefined what special effects could do. Terminator 3: Like the Star Wars prequels. Hated in its time, but its only crime was not being as good as the originals. Later sequels would prove how spoiled we were. Terminator Salvation: A new Terminator that made no sense, in a post-Apocalyptic world where John Connor is just middle management. Terminator Genisys: What happens when you try to write note cards with ideas for five movies and then shuffle them together. Terminator Dark Fate: Sorry, I already gave up in Genisys.
29:55 In preparation for the role the actor playing the T-1000 trained to sprint super fast in a 'robotic manner'. He was so fast that they had to tell him to slow down/start the vehicle from further away as he kept catching the vehicle.
Funny story about the first time I saw terminator one , in 2002 my 8th grade writing teacher had the class watch terminator and skipped over the flash back / future scenes and told us to write what we thought wat the future in it looked like about half must have seen it cuz they were dead on what it was , but other half including me hadn't and the stuff we wrote was sooooo dark and soooo much worse lol so I would say not seeing the future would've been better for the movie atleast to me 😎🤟
0:00-The Terminator 19:50-Terminator: Judgement Day 47:08-Terminator: Rise Of The Machines 1:09:10-Terminator: Salvation 1:30:14-Terminator: Genisys 1:49:49-Terminator: Dark Fate
Totally wrong on the future footage from the first Terminator movie. It is one of the things that helps the movie stand out, and they are some of the most iconic scenes from the movie. The tracks crushing the skulls, that swiveling turret, the underground base, and so on... And it is all tied in well, too. You get the dog barking in that base scene, and then later, it fills that in with Reese's line about how they use dogs to sniff out terminators. If that was dumped on you right before it was needed, it would feel a lot more like what it is (a gun on the mantelpiece). But because it ties back to what we've seen, it feels more natural.
Saw a vid where thr cyberdyne lobby scene had Arnold shift the grenades to his back so the LAPD wouldnt set off the grenades in the gunfire. Very amazing attention to detail.
You used the term "dirty shadows" at 4:45 to describe that comic style for composition type and framing. I think I would describe it as "Milleresque" taking from the art style that Frank Miller used.
Man! The Dude @4:21 talking to Anthony Michael Hall in "Weird Science" is the same dude from "Terminator" in the garbage truck when Arnold shows up at the beginning. And he's got a cigar in his mouth then too. Six degrees of separation, eh. LoL 😆
One man's nostalgic look into the Way-back movie machine is another woman's, "Oh yeah, I remember seeing that in theaters." Have you watched TSCC? You should.
I remember seeing this as a kid and I was fine with the whole movie up until the surprise twist at the end where it's revealed the Terminator was still alive. At that point my kid brain went from excited to unable to breath due to the terror of wondering if it was even possible for Robo-Arnie to be killed.
You are the best critic of nostalgia for me you are the best youtuber of reviews very charismatic and funny your legacy and your name will never die greetings from Chile.
This will forever be remembered (by me) as being the Terminator movie that chose to give away it's biggest twist in the bloody commercial! Can you imagine if T2 did that shit?!
I have a hazy memory of a frozen yogurt shop in Simi Valley (my hometown) that had the Terminator arm on display. The owners were somehow tied to the 1984 movie. Art department? Dunno. My dad and I stood in front of the glass and marveled at all the effort put into this working prop. We were both nerds, plus he worked for Paramount. That was almost 40 years ago.
because of the nature of time travel, the every time they send someone back it's the first time, the other times never happen (or not in that timeline) so whenever they go to send someone back they do not have any prior experience, the circumstances might be worse therefore they might be getting worse and drop offs
My thoughts on the franchise: The first two are classics of the horror/action/thriller genre and still hold up today. The third, fourth, and sixth ones took some risks, which I respect them for even though they don't quite stack up. I like some of the ideas and concepts presented by five, but the plot is a total clusterfuck. I do enjoy watching it though because it's fun to riff on. Overall I enjoy the series, but as the franchise continues to run its course I find myself more liking the ideas and concepts they represent over the actual movies themselves.
In T2, I really wish people gave more attention to the emotional weight of a machine, entirely incapable of emotional feeling or display, evolving to the point of expressing to a human that it understands why we cry. It is as close as a machine would ever get to feeling emotion and the delivery of the line by Arnold is criminally underrated.
they didn't duplicate Sarah at 33:16, Linda Hamilton also is a twin, her twin is the Sarah that's playing in the park, int the dream sequence, before the Nuke hits.
I felt it would have been better if, since terminator can't self terminate, Sarah sacrifices her self by shorting Arnold's battery or something to cause an explosion. And just before she does it, she looks at Arnold and the say "for John".

Come on Critic! We all thought OJ Simpson was this nice honest guy who wouldn't stab a fly.. but boy were we all wrong.. If James Cameron was smart he can make OJ Simpson the villain in a film and I bet it will be a hit..
Can we talk about how in Terminator 2 when the T-1000 chased John for the first time, the actor who played the T-1000 actually ran too fast and kept accidentally catching up to the bike John was riding so he needed to be told to intentionally run slower.
Actually no. They had a pulley for John’s bike to make him go faster. Robert Patrick still kept running like he did. Crazy still.
@@eddieolshefski6467 without breathing!

@@blackmagician7645 Reese got that drip drip
33:00
They were actually twins. The security guard got the role specifically because he had a twin brother.
And Linda Hamilton's twin sister Leslie Hamilton worked as her stunt double. She also did the shot where there's two Sarah Conors in the steel factory and the shot where they open the terminator's skull to remove his chip.
Surprised Doug missed that
This was pointed out on the original video.
Mind you, this looks like Theatrical release. The chip removal shows on special editions
Can you imagine if the T-X had been Linda's twin sister, and the whole time the Terminator paraded around as Sarah Conner in an attempt to murder John, or Kyle.
Or whatever... I mean, just a passing thought.
Gremlins 2 the New Batch
Fun fact, the owners of the minigun were pretty upset that Arnold just dropped it, but Cameron said a real Terminator would not just place it down 'nicely' and compensated any damage. It was also not firing at 100% speed.
Cameron requested the minigun be slowed down because he liked the sound it made.
I always liked Kyle's realistic death in T1. No long goodbye, no music, no final words, no warning
Realistic Deaths are the best deaths
@@chasehedges6775 its feels more powerful when they happen, like WTF!!! kind of moments
And not really telegraphed like most deaths in movies/shows.
There is a warning though or at least its foreshadowed, when Kyle says to Sarah that John's father dies before the war. Which means that Kyle likely knew he was going to his death when he volunteered for this
@@chasehedges6775 debatable
Bill Paxton is the only member of the sci-fi trifecta club. He was killed by a terminator, an alien, and a predator.
Though Lance Handrickson comes close by being killed by a Terminator and a Predator, Janette Goldstein being killed by a Terminator, an alien and an iceberg and Michael Bien has been killed by a Terminator, the Ocean and a Mandalorian
Did Bill’s punk character die though? We only saw the other guy die and from what we know from these movies is that the terminator gets what it wants whether or not the other person is willingly giving it
@@axelnilsson5124 he is hit and we never see him get up so assume he is. Remember he killed the gun shop guy for no reason and every cop he killed was just in his way, they couldn't stop him so he killed them as well. I can't think of any that survived a direct encounter because the land lord was through the door conversation.
Lance Henriksen was (kind of) killed by an alien too! But he was an android so that one is debatable lol
Bill Paxton has the worst luck in films, he got killed by the t-800, killed by a Xeno, killed by the City Hunter Predator, killed by Arnold in True Lies (even thought that was a dream), had to survive a giant twister, you get the point.
1:05:11 100% agree! Stunt doubles deserve recognition for their work
Corridor Crew is doing some great work shining a big ol' spotlight on stunt actors with their ongoing "Stunt Performers React" series. Thanks to them, I'm starting to know several stunt actors by name and recognize them in movies as well as developing a much deeper and fuller appreciation for their hard, dangerous work.
@@Dargonhuman hey thanks I'll check it out
I think the reason why they aren’t or haven’t been giving Oscars for stunts is because so many people will try to out-stunt the others to the point where it will be very dangerous and life threatening, even though they already are. But they they will pull anything for an Oscar, even if it takes their life, so I don’t think the Oscars would encourage that.
The ending of T2 always gets me, ever since I was a little boy watching it. I grew up with shitty step dad's, so I felt John Connor's pain and yearning for a good, loving father.
The fact that Critic noticably ages a little bit over the different movie review makes it look like the sequels are taking a toll on him.
LMFAO
Putting these all together makes it VERY clear why there's so much Terminator expanded universe lore. Super futuristic terminators guarding the time line to prevent certain futures, alternate realities where they fight Xenomorphs, taking these wild concepts that are just hinted at in the movies and actually doing something creative with them.
The other ending to salvation makes SO much sense. JOHN CONNOR grows up knowing he will be a legend, so he is assertive, self important, speechy and reckless. When this gets him killed he is replaced by a superhuman with knowledge of skynet... But also with an identity crisis. He wants to prove he is good enough to be human, and tries living up to the legend of JOHN CONNOR. This is why he became a legend. He was a superhuman people pleaser trying to be cool. This even sets the stage for Genisys. He never belives in himself, so he uppgraded to much. Now he is a tool of skynet. He really calls himself JOHN CONNOR and he belives it now, but can kill "his parents" because he isnt John, just a deusional terminator.
Oh my God I never realized the reason Arnold says "come with me if you want to live" in T2 is becauseJohn Connor would have programmed that into the T800 as a sort of safe word/phrase to get his mother to realize he is on her side. Its all on Sarah's face from fear to stunned recognition. John would have known he needed to program that phrase into the terminator either because he knows it from his mom telling him OR he lived this situation before in T2 therefore in the future adult John remembers what the terminator said that got his mom to trust it, programing into the machine before sending it back to protect young John, boom closed loop paradox! Not just callbacks but callbacks with meaning!
Well, at least until the other movies turned it into a damn catchphrase.
Wild speculation
That makes sense as to why he would say that
@@Maxmellow94I agree. Can't see him knowing that specific phrase and then saying it to Sarah specifically unless he was intentionally programmed to do so
I remember the nuke scene from T2 to this day as the most accurate depiction of a real one.
By God, the effects have to come back to that level of quality.
yeah for the longest time like 20+ years i always thought of that part but never knew what it was from and one day i watched T3 then watched T1 then T2 then i found it
Im pretty sure the nuke scene is still labed by scientist as the most accurate nuclear bomb in movies
Oppenheimer’s was great too
You actually had me laughing out loud at my desk at work with your scene about what if Arnold acted in the first movie the way the lady terminator acts in the 3rd when she finds her target.
"You're gonna need a bigger boat", "Do you feel lucky?", "I'll be back", "I'll buy that for a dollar", "PHOENIIIIIIIIIIIIIIX!" "Game over Man - Game over", "Grandpa - are you sitting in the apple pie?" - "I sure hope so". 'Nuff said!
"MAGNAVOLT!!!!"
Buy now, at Clamp network.
It took me twenty years to realize the significance of what stops Sarah from killing Dyson. She realized that she had become the very thing she hated most: a Terminator. A seemingly emotionless assassin who was trying to change the present to prevent the future. I think that's why she broke down. Just another reason why this movie is a masterpiece. The philosophical and moral questions are presented in a subtle way. They aren't thrust down the throat through 40 minutes of forced dialogue like modern movies.
T2 also took a great look into how man and machine do not entirely differ from each other
whether it be that moment with sarah and dyson, or with the Terminator being a “father” figure to john and learning what it means to cry even if it can’t do that
that’s how you make a great sequel, action and suspense but also looking into the philosophical questions of the plot and the nature of the subject, in his case where man and machine begin and end.
Funny enough, Arnold never once said "I'll Be Back" in Terminator 3. Yes, he does say Back twice, but it's only for the lines "She'll be back", and "I'm back.", the line "I'll Be Back" was apparently not apart of the T-850's vocabulary.
That OJ Simpson quote at the beginning of the first review always kills me (no pun intended)
If the joke fits, then you mustn't acquit
@@Avatar_of_Chairness Yeah, you're right on that.
It's fake. James Cameron said OJ was never considered for the role.
I remember The Terminator 1 and 2 as a child, the bathroom scene where the T-800 cuts out it's human eye as well as the stop motion from the first film as the back of the DVD/VHS box for Terminator 2 always scared me as a kid
I was allowed to watch Terminator 1 as a kid by my (back then) irresponsible older brother. The following night I had bad nightmares. So bad, I screamed so loud, my entire family was awake and next to my bed by the time I woke up.
@@thomaskositzki9424 my first ever Horror movie when I was a kid was Alien 1-4, strangely I wasn't scared at all but my brother who was 3 years younger than me was scared of one of the Alien films, this was when me and him were staying with our Aunt and Uncle who put on the films
The stop motion from the first film will always be creepy and in a good way! That lack of fluid movement makes the T-800's movements look so messed up.
@@skitariisoldier7367 I always find stop motion absolutely terrifying, never really liked watch Jason and the Argonauts or the old timey movies that focus primarily on stop motion things
Honestly the original ending to salvation sounds awesome and honestly it still would've made connor semi important
Honestly it just sounds okay and honestly it wouldn't have made much sense in the context of the timeline.
Greetings from Germany. Honestly. :)
@@moserfugger6363 I mean hears the thing
effectively if the original ending stayed heres how i imagine it'd work tbh:
John connor would still be important not just as a man fighting against machines but also as a story. something people can aspire too because without john the whole thing would crumble down
but if they wanted to kill john off but still make him important they could've gone the original route and just had what's his face wear john's skin affectively making john connor in the eyes of the machines even more of a threat
I doubt skynet would understand that one of their creations regardless of it's love for life would've taken on someone else's identity
greetings from the us and i hope you're having a good time
By that point the series was too far gone down the mediocre rabbit hole.
Wow I really liked your point on T-X, she should have been able to be expert in social ethics, persuasion, manipulation, seduction, perfectly mimic human emotions and movement in addition to her existing traits.
That would make her much more scary and threatening and memorable because her current version is just overshadowed by T-1000.
Frankly, every Terminator after the T-1000 seems like a downgrade, seeing as the T-1000 seemed so much smarter, stronger, faster and of course, nigh-unkillable
I agree the T-X was indefinitely and completely overshadowed by Robert Patrick's T-1000.
@@weldonwin that is actually a pretty good point actually.
@@weldonwin the Rev-9 seemed like the perfect terminator to me.
@@dannyfenton8826 The fact that it still has a physically solid endoskeleton suggests otherwise. As hard to destroy as the physical part may be, it still presents a point of vulnerability and can be destroyed by direct physical attacks. The T-1000 had a wider range of options as an infiltrator and was nigh-unkillable except under very specific circumstances where you can attack its molecular structure.
I still argue that every Terminator after the T-1000 was a step backwards, at least until you are getting to truly broken stuff like the T-Infinity from the comics.

Fun Fact: the song in the background at the biker bar is sung by the guy who played Raoul in Panic Room...
Also one of the cops who shoots Dyson is Hank from Breaking Bad.

I understood that reference!
Same lol.
ah.. I wondered why it was familiar.
We need a Terminator/Halloween crossover where Michael Meyers is revealed as a Terminator. Either Skynet or Legion, make it happen.
The jacket Arnold wearing in T1 is a "punk modified" M65 field jacket
Gonna say that the true legitimate sequel to T2 is a video game from Reef Entertainment called Terminator: Resistance. Phenomenal budget level game.
If only it ended after Terminator 2. 😔
Agreed. I liked Terminator 3 but yeah.
Same with Alien 2. They really knew how to ruin perfect good movies. Each Terminator movie seems to dismiss everything achieved in the second title.
So agreed
It did
I like T3 but yeah..
T2 is darn near perfect. It is arguably the greatest action movie ever and arguably the greatest sequel ever.
The deleted scenes after the T1000 gets frozen were key too, showing that the seemingly unstoppable machine did in fact have weaknesses.
according to a trivia i once saw
the reason the T1000 looks more worn and has a harder time hiding it’s liquid skin towards the end is because
it has been shot and blown up so much by the cast that by that time it was having trouble keeping itself together
so that final grenade to the chest was indeed one of the final blows
which i like, i like the fact that it wasn't 100% indestructible and had weaknesses.
Beihn's '...and it absolutely will not stop...EVER!' speech still gives me chills.
This compilation is the length of a movie and I love it
Same.
The way it supposed to be.. Dong knows how to give a long lengthy stretch of content to last you until you are satisfied with the deep work he puts in to make his audience smile..
🤔 it’s technically longer than Last Action Hero by a minute
It'd take a long movie to beat it
Same here 😊
11:29 to be fair, in the mid 1980s, Body Armour carrying solid plates that could defeat larger calibre rounds was barely a thing and certainly most civilians would not be familiar with it. At that point even most militaries had little more than armour capable of providing some protection from fragmentation (if anything).
Give Arnie's Goodwill-Goodwill coat all the crap you want, but it conveys "brutal killer" far better than the leather jacket.
Also, James Cameron scaring someone into financing his movie is 100% something I didn't bat an eye at.
And let me just say, after all sorts of time watching people talking about the Terminator movies, I counted on you to make a Salute Your Shorts reference, and I was not disappointed.
Franco Columbu's brief appearance as the infiltration unit is the most terrifying segment in the whole damn franchise.
Should be mentioned that Robert Patrick as the T-1000 doesn't blink in any of his shots.
Now thats dedication, but i need to rewatch it one time to see
@@Sparrows1121 If you watch the show Wednesday, Jenna Ortega doesn't blink in any of the shots in any of the episodes either. It's subtle if you're not looking for it, but it just subconsciously feels weird.
@@DamienBlade I have seen some of the episodes, and i think she does a good job. I guess its because she doesnt have alot of emotions to show like in Addams Family.
@@Sparrows1121 She does a great job. The character of Wednesday is pretty complex when you break her down. I was just pointing out that she doesn't blink in any of her shots. Through the entire season. The only reason I noticed it was because I remember Robert Patrick doing it.
I think it makes sense that they could delay/postpone Judgement Day, but they couldn't entirely avoid it. Sooner or later the technology was going to be invented. Humans were inevitably going to create and activate Skynet no matter what. Maybe they could change small details about who makes it, what it is called or when it is activated-- but it was always going to get made and turned on.
“Everyone creates the thing they dread.”
- Ultron
@@chasehedges6775 “The geometry of belief” personified in a distinctly different manner.
Also the Terminator’s journey, while handled clumsily in film, is a nice take on the script of T2:
“What would happen if your mission fails?
I would become useless…”
And given that’s a “read only” response before his chip is reset in the deleted scene, it’s nice that Dark Fate suggests in its own way that any sufficiently advanced artificial intelligence can evolve beyond its programming.
Sure, the Iron Giant does it better and in less time, but I appreciate any effort to write a machine intelligence as not just cold and logical, but capable of emotional growth.
I prefer this explanation over the other popular one. The assertion that John must exist for there to be skynet and vise versa.
This is why I liked both Genisys and Dark Fate despite them getting torn by critics. They advanced the timeline, changed the name of Skynet and made John either the bad guy(Genisys) or dead(Dark Fate). They tried to actually advance the plot and people didn't get it or like it.
@@benjaminandrew9057 the fans have all been essentially asking for the future war that everyone has been asking for. That needs to be seen, and explored further, Salvation sort of tells about how the future war is after T3.
"I mean I'm from the future and like 10 of have been sent back so I'm assuming it's possible." - delivery priceless!!
34:01 I mean, if a guy can one handed push you so hard you go flying, are *you* getting back up?
Yes, T2 is absolutely flawless and one of my all time favorite sci-fi action movies. The T-1000 is one of the greatest movie villains and watching him chase down John Connor with Nemesis Prime was one of the most awesome things I've ever seen. The first two movies are the only ones that are good enough for me to stick to because, not only does each sequel afterwards progressively suck more than the last, but they make no sense continuity wise. The Cyberdyne Systems building was destroyed along with Miles Dyson, the hand and microprocessor from the first T-800 (from 1984) and the T-1000 and current T-800, so none of the sequel events should have happened, they stopped Judgement Day. In fact, not only did John point this out in T3, but a good ending was filmed for T2 that was never used. Sorry but, as far as I'm concerned, just like the Michael Myers Halloween movies, in my eyes the first two are the only ones.
Eh, t2 is not flawless, but it’s is amazing
there is no explanation for why a liquid terminator can go back in time when they say there is no way metal can come back
there’s no way liquid metal can have human skin and still camouflage itself, and every time it goes fully liquid or liquid metal the skin would be lost.
that’s the only plot hole in the whole film, but easily ignored.
My biggest problem with the reviews/justification for the terminators behavior in Dark Fate is that, the only reason T2's T-800 acts like that is because they turned his learning function on, in a deleted scene unfortunately.
I love that scene where it actually shows the power source popping out lol like that scene in judgement day where there’s a deleted scene showing John and Sarah removing the CPU I always hated that they left out these scenes that make the movie that much better…
The first Terminator timeline we see in the first movie is actually the second timeline.
52:45 Schwarzenegger really invested time to train himself not to close his eyes when shooting the gun because he's a machine and wouldn't to that.
Her.. not so much..
16:09 "They throw a bomb in the tail pipe..." I thought that was the exhaust too when I was a kid, but big rigs use vertical exhaust pipes to avoid bowing exhaust directly on the trailer. The pipe into which the bomb is placed is actually used on fuel tankers (such as the one driven in the film) to store hoses for fuel transfer. It's accurate that those pipes would be on there as it is clearly a fuel tanker, however, there should definitely be a cover of some sort to prevent the hose from sliding out during acceleration or braking, and this would almost certainly be spotted on pre-trip as well as at a weigh station.
I feel like with Terminator Salvation, if they had it be vaegly similar to what it is like with the video game Terminator Resistance, where John Connor seems to be able to remember bits of other timelines (probably because future parent) such that he generally knows who, what, where, and when to deploy forces to win battles would make for a good reason as him being leader.
If they did something like that here, or at least, hinted at that starting to become a reality for him, I think the film could have done better.
Salvation was a gem that had flaws
Salvation is set before Connor becomes the official head of the resistance, which isa role he grows into over the course of the film, showing how he rose to the top
this is interesting because it allows us to see a different side to the war and john connor’s life in war
it also showed earlier attempts by cyber dyne and even sky net to get to a proper terminator unit that would later be their mainstream foot soldier
and why Sky net goes with A.I instead of Androids, because the human side cannot be controlled or relied on to betray its humanity.
the issue was they spent too much time on the politics between Michael ironside’s character and connor, and they had that horrible cgi Arnold fight scene that didn’t need to be there
but sam worthington was great in that, and the concept of his version of terminator being a precursor to the ones we see alter on
was interesting.
34:30... Ok... I can't stop admiring Robert Patricks dedication to the art. Those shots look like they hurt as hell.
37:40 ... ah yeah. My nightmare fuel for the following two weeks after I saw it. For some reason the idea of people getting their flesh ripped from their bones is somehow extra creepy to me. Same in Mars Attacks...
You should also review 'The Naked Gun' trilogy. Now that was epic.
I just realized why NC is so likeable. He delivers his jokes the same way Weird Al does. And everyone loves Weird Al. Not accusing him of ripping off at all, just that he has that style.
Still a fan despite the controversy he has been involved in regarding Channel Awesome. The Pee Wee Herman samples in the Dark Fate review had me in stitches. 🤣That was so on point.
🤣🤣
I have some guilty pleasure of Critic, i am glad he makes videos. I consider 2008 days the best in my view but i am glad he is still going strong
The first 2 terminator movies are amazing to this day and I believe will be forever. Arnold and Patrick are great at being the menacing lifeless machines. And though not as good I think Salvation is a lot of fun. Always wanted a more in the future film and it was an enjoyable ride.
Lol, dammit I was so close to getting through the T2 review without completely cracking up but that ice age line got me. Well played.
In T2 the fact that they give the heavily armed Arnold 3 chances to surrender but shoot the unarmed black scientist on sight is one of those shockingly telling scenes that probably wasn't intended...
33:17 Actually that was Special effects. That was Linda Hamilton's twin sister Leslie doing that scene with her.
The first two movies are immortal perfection.
Indeed. Terminator 2 especially
I think the 3rd one is decent enough.

Fun Fact: Bill Paxton is the only actor to have been killed by an Alien, Predator, and Terminator. It’s kinda similar to how Kyle Chandler is the only actor to appear in a Godzilla movie, King Kong movie, and a film with Godzilla & Kong in it!
In T2, do you think the Psychiatrist was on Cyberdynes payroll to ensure she never got out of the psych ward?
The scene where their interview is recorded could be interpreted as just having video recordings of each session or it could be that Cyberdyne is gathering as much Intel on the T1 Terminator, from their discussions.
It also transitions from her saying "they don't exist" to seeing Cyberdyne have arm, not only proving her correct it did exist but maybe even as a hint between the two institutions.
I don’t think he was paid by cyber dyne
first because Cyberdyne had no idea who sarah connor was or how she was involved with the terminator, as she was arrested for trying to blow up one of their computer labs, nothing to do with the original terminator crime scene where they got the tech from
cyber dyne has also not developed sky net yet so there would be no reason to silence her about something they haven’t made yet and even then they have no idea that sky net will betray humanity.
he’s the psychiatrist they bring in to council Sarah in the first film after her room mate was killed and she was kidnapped
Terminator 3 may not be a good movie, but I always loved the scene where the original model fights the new terminator by smashing urinals over her head and pushing her through bathroom stall walls. It's a brutal, hand to hand fight, and you can see that he's losing by increments even though he's very durable.
I watched these videos before.
But now I can add this to a nighttime playlist.

Terminator: A top-notch horror film that could use a minor update on the stop-motion effects.
Terminator 2: A top-notch action film that redefined what special effects could do.
Terminator 3: Like the Star Wars prequels. Hated in its time, but its only crime was not being as good as the originals. Later sequels would prove how spoiled we were.
Terminator Salvation: A new Terminator that made no sense, in a post-Apocalyptic world where John Connor is just middle management.
Terminator Genisys: What happens when you try to write note cards with ideas for five movies and then shuffle them together.
Terminator Dark Fate: Sorry, I already gave up in Genisys.
If John had told them in Terminator Genisys that what he became was the next stage in human evolution, they might have believed him
That scene in T2 where he uses the minigun looks and sounds incredible on laserdisc.
As many times as I've seen Terminator (more than I can count,) this is the first time I've ever noticed Steve Buscemi.
What?
29:55 In preparation for the role the actor playing the T-1000 trained to sprint super fast in a 'robotic manner'. He was so fast that they had to tell him to slow down/start the vehicle from further away as he kept catching the vehicle.

Hi i am playing 2 captains who die horribly.
Funny story about the first time I saw terminator one , in 2002 my 8th grade writing teacher had the class watch terminator and skipped over the flash back / future scenes and told us to write what we thought wat the future in it looked like about half must have seen it cuz they were dead on what it was , but other half including me hadn't and the stuff we wrote was sooooo dark and soooo much worse lol so I would say not seeing the future would've been better for the movie atleast to me 😎🤟

thank you for that, helped me keep track of where i was.
Totally wrong on the future footage from the first Terminator movie. It is one of the things that helps the movie stand out, and they are some of the most iconic scenes from the movie. The tracks crushing the skulls, that swiveling turret, the underground base, and so on... And it is all tied in well, too. You get the dog barking in that base scene, and then later, it fills that in with Reese's line about how they use dogs to sniff out terminators. If that was dumped on you right before it was needed, it would feel a lot more like what it is (a gun on the mantelpiece). But because it ties back to what we've seen, it feels more natural.
Saw a vid where thr cyberdyne lobby scene had Arnold shift the grenades to his back so the LAPD wouldnt set off the grenades in the gunfire. Very amazing attention to detail.
You used the term "dirty shadows" at 4:45 to describe that comic style for composition type and framing. I think I would describe it as "Milleresque" taking from the art style that Frank Miller used.
Man! The Dude @4:21 talking to Anthony Michael Hall in "Weird Science" is the same dude from "Terminator" in the garbage truck when Arnold shows up at the beginning. And he's got a cigar in his mouth then too. Six degrees of separation, eh. LoL 😆
One man's nostalgic look into the Way-back movie machine is another woman's, "Oh yeah, I remember seeing that in theaters." Have you watched TSCC? You should.
The gun trick in T2 was actually modified to perform the trick. Arnie nearly broke his hand when they used the wrong prop by accident.
I remember seeing this as a kid and I was fine with the whole movie up until the surprise twist at the end where it's revealed the Terminator was still alive. At that point my kid brain went from excited to unable to breath due to the terror of wondering if it was even possible for Robo-Arnie to be killed.
I like to think the scene of old Sarah is her new good dream that replaces her old nuclear apocalypse nightmare.

Good to see you still going strong NC. Still cracking me up after all these years.
41:50 I usually drive my truck with my third arm as well 😂
I have a hazy memory of a frozen yogurt shop in Simi Valley (my hometown) that had the Terminator arm on display. The owners were somehow tied to the 1984 movie. Art department? Dunno. My dad and I stood in front of the glass and marveled at all the effort put into this working prop. We were both nerds, plus he worked for Paramount. That was almost 40 years ago.
2:00:09 " Some crazy guy is trying to kill me.
because I witnessed him murder
my entire family."
" Okay that sound possible. "
1:00:45 This is the best gag of them all. I played this 10 times already. Deep down I long for a Terminator to be in BTTF.
because of the nature of time travel, the every time they send someone back it's the first time, the other times never happen (or not in that timeline) so whenever they go to send someone back they do not have any prior experience, the circumstances might be worse therefore they might be getting worse and drop offs
8:00 thought it would be funnier of he just left it at “Dude, this isn’t baskin robins!”
My thoughts on the franchise:
The first two are classics of the horror/action/thriller genre and still hold up today. The third, fourth, and sixth ones took some risks, which I respect them for even though they don't quite stack up. I like some of the ideas and concepts presented by five, but the plot is a total clusterfuck. I do enjoy watching it though because it's fun to riff on.
Overall I enjoy the series, but as the franchise continues to run its course I find myself more liking the ideas and concepts they represent over the actual movies themselves.
I think the future war scene in Genesys is 👌 they used parts of the cut future war script in T2
In T2, I really wish people gave more attention to the emotional weight of a machine, entirely incapable of emotional feeling or display, evolving to the point of expressing to a human that it understands why we cry. It is as close as a machine would ever get to feeling emotion and the delivery of the line by Arnold is criminally underrated.
13:05 Terminator Predicted the Amazon Firestick.
A literal Firestick.
they didn't duplicate Sarah at 33:16, Linda Hamilton also is a twin, her twin is the Sarah that's playing in the park, int the dream sequence, before the Nuke hits.
I felt it would have been better if, since terminator can't self terminate, Sarah sacrifices her self by shorting Arnold's battery or something to cause an explosion. And just before she does it, she looks at Arnold and the say "for John".
