Hey we've been trying to contact you about your extended car warranty..
The batmobile has a warranty I think..
@@sean---the-other-one why do you think that from what I wrote 👁️👄👁️
@@Centane Perfect use of emoji
Great movie choice! But maybe change the title so it doesn't say "first time watching" since you already saw it when you were five? Glad you enjoyed it.
Part two is one of the best action movies of all time.
Was my favorite movie of all time for decades, still is my favorite SF!
The Croatian title is "exciting Friday and Saturday nights"
It's really the sequel!

Arnold is so goddamn good in this movie. I know most people don't really think of him as a "true" actor, but the way he moves and his physicality in The Terminator really does give you the feeling that he isn't human.
That's true. Even with his limited acting abilities, the expressions & delivery he brings seems believable.
It was kinda thought that a robot role was made for him, that's all he could do, but it's actually rather impressive that he pulled it off when you see how charismatic he always was in real life.
The best fact about this movie is that it was more or less filmed "in the wild" with no licenses to film at certain locations. They didn't even have a budget for light, so Cameron was driving around the city to find street lights that were perfect for certain shots.
Also, Tech Noir the night club was some rented place that was turned into a set to film. Midway through the filming a queue formed in front of it and people tried to get in...
23:03 Guy translating: "...but if he doesn't his father will beat him". Kamila: "...con la chancla" 😂
Yeah, I looked up "chancla" and got the translation "slipper." At first I was confused, but then I remembered what I'd learned in the movie Coco! 😝
Absolutely love the first Terminator. The second movie has bigger budget and more action, but I like the more grounded, down to earth, horror and tech-noir style of the first movie. And as someone who wants to make movies, I feel a stronger connection to this one. It's almost something that a competent crew of amature filmmakers could make (I would never even dream of ever touching a project as big as T2 tho). They made the first one basically in guerrilla style, with little to no permits, and always being ready to run before the cops shut down the filming.
Aliens was first BIG budget movie for that broke director- cammie jim. T2 had to be big. Biggest of all times. ¤ Oscars,howbout dat?
"Come with me if you want to live" is always a necessary thing to include. It's significant.
you have to watch part 2, it's one of the best sci-fi action movies ever made and one of the few sequels that's actually better than the first movie.
I don't think it's better it's good though I love this for the dark tone and how ruthless the terminator is.

@@jdogjohnson382 It is monumentally better in every aspect.
@@DBZ-Mousa The only aspect the sequel is better in, is the special effects. And that's to be expected given it came out 7 years later. None of the sequels come close to the original.
@@jdogjohnson382 On top of that, Kyle is a much better protagonist than the kid in Part 2.
I thought one of the greatest parts of this movie is Kyle wondering whar Sara was thinking about in that photo and we learn that she was thinking about him.
18:09, Kyle is the baby daddy. In the novelization to this movie, its revealed that Sarah told John who Kyle was. So when they met Connor kept Kyle close to him in The Resistance to ensure that he didn't get killed. He also never tells Kyle that they are related.
There is a wonderful scene in the book in which John walks into the chamber of the time machine and asks to speak to Kyle alone. Kyle is immediately fan boying to meet the leader of all human armies. John makes Kyle memorize the speech to give to Sarah until he can recite it verbatim. Then John looks at this younger soldier for a long beat, hugs him fiercely then quickly walks out of the room.
It's only later once Kyle is gone, that John Connor tells the assembled crowd of soldiers and technicians, that the young man he sent on a one way mission was his father. It is at this moment that he cries because he had to send his own father to his death.
Okay... okay... I have to find this and read it.
I'll have to find that and read it.
It's a time paradox.
Novels are for nerds.
Oof. Powerful stuff.
The actor for Kyle is the marine that survive in Aliens 2 and one of the detectives at 5:30 was the android who also survived.
Others have commented but I'll add, T2 is probably THE greatest movie sequel ever made, and for me it perfectly finishes the series. Also the last one directed by James Cameron. The rest are just money cows bred by Hollywood IMO.
The first Terminator, is actually more of a horror movie than an action movie. The second one, however, is more actiony. Both are fantastic movies.
"On your feet soldier" That's when Sarah understood Reese.
Terminator 1 is a horror movie.T2 is a scifi Action movie.
"But -- how are we going to be able to kick his ass?!?" 🤣🤖🤣
Some scenes today may look dated, but it's still one hell of a movie. The concept beyond this movie is not new. It's called the grandfather paradox. It says that it is impossible to successfully alter events in the past through time travel.
Arnold had already been in a few other movies before this: Hercules goes to New York (1970), The Villain (1979), Conan the Barbarian (1982), and Conan the Destroyer (1984), but this was the one that really made the rest of his acting career, followed up with Commando, Predator, Terminator 2, and so on...
and, in 1984 this was considered the most violent movie ever made, due to the police station shootout scenes.
He wondered what she was thinking about in the photo and she was thinking about him.
There is a show in this universe "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" that sadly got cancelled after two seasons but it's great. If you watch the second movie and fall in love with it I'd recommend watching that too.
Before Arnold Schwarzenegger was cast as the titular character, OJ Simpson was considered to play the Terminator, but James Cameron changed his mind saying, "He's too much of a nice guy to play the role of a ruthless killer."😳🤦
Tom Selleck, Lance Henriksen, Sylvester Stallone, and Mel Gibson were considered for the part as well.
Bruce Springsteen, Michael O'Keefe, Tommy Lee Jones, Christopher Reeve, Scott Glenn, Sting, Treat Williams, and Matt Dillon were considered for Kyle Reese.
Lea Thompson, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Jessica Harper, Melissa Sue Anderson, Rosanna Arquette, and Lisa Langolis were considered for Sarah Connor.
Sean Connery was also considered for the Terminator. His Agent was in touch with Cameron's people and enthusiastically called Connery back about the meeting, "Can you do tenish?" "Tennish?" Sean replied, "...but I haven't got a raquet!"
If you don't think OJ was too nice of a guy then you are a RACIST!
I am a friend of Shara Conor.
Fun fat. Kyle tells Sarah about the picture, saying, "I always wondered what you were thinking." When the photo is taken, she's thinking of Kyle. Fitting, I think, and a little detail not many people notice. It deserves the accolades everyone gives it, and it deserves to have the more well-known tidbits mentioned, but that's easily my favorite small detail.
I think everyone noticed that. Maybe not everyone. people can be pretty dumb.
According to Arnold himself, he was so into the script and the concept of the Terminator (having auditioned for the Kyle Reese part) and kept telling the director what he thought the Terminator should walk, talk, move and so on forever, that at some point the director said "why don't you just play the Terminator then".
Arnie said the Terminator should say "I will be back" but Cameron used the take he wanted with Arnie saying "I'll be back" instead. The rest is history 😁
and boy did he come back, he came back like a mf
@@pesty4 actually what happened was that the original line was "i'll be back" but Schwarzenegger had trouble pronouncing it so he wanted to say "I will be back" but Cameron refused to let him say it like that.
One of the best, if not the best horror sci-fi dystopia ever made. I love T2, I saw it as a kid in '91 and it deserves all the praise but I'm one of those who consider T1 "THE" Terminator movie. Comparing the two films it can be seen that in the case of the '84 film, the goal was less to be popular. They wanted to make the most of Cameron's vision with a small budget. The film has a dark, gloomy, "grainy" 80's feel, to which we add Brad Fiedel's fantastic analog music themes. All of these make it unique and unrepeatable.
The highly anticipated sequel was released seven years later from the original with bigger budget and modern CGI, thanks to the success of the first Terminator. The movie was ahead of its time and was much successful as the first. Enjoy the series!
Kyle always wondered what she was thinking about in that picture. She was thinking about him but he never knew it.
This is The Film that made Arold an international star.
The sequel is one of the Very Few films that is better than the original.
You will Love it.
Arnold isn't just an actor, he is one of the biggest stars ever. Next up is one of the best sequels in Cinematic history Terminator 2: Judgement Day
Although I like this one better the second one is really good and one of the biggest blockbusters of the 90s. I do recommend you see it. I also recommend the TV series. The Sarah Conner Chronicles, the only real problem with that one is it only lasted 2 seasons. It is one of those shows that was cancelled way too soon but still worth watching.
"You're terminated Fucker!" Is STILL one of the best lines ever uttered in cinema :)
Yeah, workong food service sucks :/ People are dickheads alot of the time :(
Thanks for the fun and cool reaction! I liked it a lot!
As for why Sarah wasn't immediately feeling safe with Kyle: I think we need to factor in that Sarah is established as quite the normal person, working as a waitress and dating etc. She is already on edge from knowing about the killings of her name-kin. Without knowing about cyborgs, future wars or anything, it's reasonable to say that all the shooting and killing at Tech Noir Sarah was battling shock. She doesn't know Kyle and even if he would have a chance to harm her earlier, she does not know what he wants with her. However, WE do, as the audience. So I think shock just led her to the "fight or flight or freeze", in which case she opted for the two latter ones. :)
Yes! Thank you! Sarah didn't see Kyle shoot the Terminator. She was looking at the Terminator when it happened. It was confusing and chaotic. I think most of us would have reacted like Sarah if that happened to us. Once she's in the car with Kyle, there's a shot of her looking away, clearly in shock, like she has no idea what to do or what's going on.
14:45 - Kyle talking about John Connor's father, saying "I know he dies before the war."...talking about himself. Trippy.
Imagine it's the year 1984 and you are 7 years old and you just watched The Terminator for the first time. That was my experience and it left a very profound impression on me and I aged 10 years by the time the movie was over. I do hope you follow up with the sequel as it is arguably better.
When you watch Terminator 2 please make sure to watch the cinematic version. The longer versions add very weird scenes that kinda ruin the tone and show a different ending which is really bad. Worth a watch on a 2nd view, but go for the cinematic version first.
Agrees with the ending, but for the scenes, some of them make sense of things that otherwise do not have any. (I'm thinking about smiles)
I agree with you.👍
Yes, the director has said he prefers the (137-minute) theatrical cut.
"I guess he stole his heart" - ha, a timely Valentine's quip
Enjoyed your reaction. T2 is one of the best sequels ever.
You have to watch part 2 immediately to maintain the continuity of the time travel aspects of this movie. (And because it's Bad ass) You gotta love the development and evolution of Sarah's character. Cool reaction, thanks!...."Ill BE BACK"😉
I'm planning it to be next reaction since everyone is so hyped for part 2 !! Thank you for watching ♥
@@Centane Titanic : girls cry. T2 : Boys.
That was his first ever "Ill be back"
@@davidmacy411 Well, the first one on film anyway...I mean there was bound to have been a bitchin' "Weiner Schnitzel Palace" he tried for the first time over in Austria land before he became a superstar where he uttered those words...but...I hear whatcher sayin'!
we waited 7 years, so immediately? not really lol
This movie was my first cyborg, action, syfy movie and I gotta say that Arnold Schwarzenegger is awesomely badass, scary, along with being very a little bit intimidating because him mimicking the mom voice of the real Sarah Conner's mother did give me chills because this cyborg ain't playing around, Great reaction overall on this very fun unique classic 1980s syfy, action, pack film Centane.
The Terminator - speaks with a german accent.
The Terminator imitating other voices - no german accent. 😉
You weren’t really wrong when you said that you thought The Terminator was a horror movie. It follows many of the tropes, motifs and beats of the slasher film sub genre of horror
It’s a full platter - the story contains many genres.
I'm thinking that watching movies like The Terminator or Aliens or Lethal Weapon now for the first time is quite a different experience than having seen them when they were first released in the '80's. Certain aspects that were so fresh then have since become soon ingrained in the culture that they are now almost expected ie tropes.
@Jeff M Aside from the raygun blasts & lightning, it's all models & other practical effects until T2, hence the Ray Harrihausen style movement of the Terminator after the gas tanker blew up.
Interesting how she went from "Don't hurt me", and "I cannot even balance my checkbook" to "ON YOUR FEET SOLDIER!"
21:12, interesting quirk of time travel this moment shows.
In the novel, The Terminator knew that at some point in her life Sarah had suffered an injury to her upper thigh. So it actually searched the body of its two other victims for the scar but kept not finding it.
What the Terminator didn't know was that the injury it was looking for hadn't happened yet. The injury it was look for only happened at this point in time. The injury was from a piece of shrapnel from its own chassis.
Novel? What
So funny, at that future scene where the Terminator invades their little base we see all this devastation.. and all you think about is the cute possible love story. 🤣
That this movie is now almost 40 years old. unbelievable...
When they filmed this they'd spray a thin layer of wax on Arnold to give his skin an artificial look, he definitely gives me the impression something is off about him in this movie
This movie is a horror/sci-fi. The sequels are sci fi action however. Great reaction! You're a morning person huh? Definitely watch T2! You'll love it!
Any chance for STAR TREK reactions on Your channel? 🖖
Star Trek is a tough one without watching the original series or some of it anyway. But yes more reactors should watch the Star Trek movies both the older ones and the newer ones.
@@DylansPen If there was a good, universally accepted compilation of "Essential Star Trek" for the original T.V. series and for TNG, that would make it easier...
I love that this movie was born from a literal fever dream when James Cameron contracted malaria while working on an earlier film.
Please watch part 2. You'll love it
The Terminator's eyebrows burned 🔥 off from the explosion prior to his punching 👊 through the windshield to grab Sarah, I think, was another great way to convey an intimidating look for the Terminator.
Without eyebrows, the Terminator looked not quite human. More menacing. You could believe he's unstoppable with a Frankenstein monster type appearance! -OG
The fire also trimmed his hair.
@@bigdream_dreambig lol. -OG
You could argue the first Terminator is a horror. If you replace the T-800's guns with a knife, you'd have a slasher
As a kid on weekends I would sometimes watch T1 and T2 on VHS right after I ate breakfast. Love those movies!
Also, The Terminator could absolutely be viewed from the perspective of a war movie, so that's a really cool take :)
It's among the best reactions I've seen for this film, talking about those who pretend to be interested or on the contrary playing smarter, you were more natural, bravo 😁
can't wait for your T2 reaction. It's one of the very few movie sequels that lives up to the original and as most would aggree surpasses it.
Style wise I prefer T1. T2 has bit of that "don't forget to buy the action figure on your way out" feeling. It's great but I just prefer T1, even with the more dated effects. T1 introduced also the core writing ideas about AI takeover, T2 is just recycling it. Also I'm slightly annoyed by the squeky voice of young Edward Furlong. He did okay, but he is definitely the weakest part of T2
T2 in no way way whatsoever supasses this film as a Terminator film. Too many unexplained errors & the danger was not nearly as present as this. Was a prime example of sacrificing storytelling for moneymaking.
My favorite part is that Kyle said he always wondered what she was thinking in the moment that the picture was taken, and in the end we found out that she was thinking about him.
/ :' ]
Looking forward to the T2 reaction ! If you haven't already, definitely recommend watching the theatrical version. The other versions force a really bad alternate ending.
If you think about it, this film hits all the beats of a horror/slasher film
Ahnold had some gigs before this film. He was in the sorta-documentary Pumping Iron, played Conan the Barbarian, and even showed up as Lucille Ball's massage therapist in an episode of The Lucy Show. But Terminator was his giant breakout role.
Part 2 is considered one of the best sequels ever written. You need to watch it. Great continuation of the story.
Not bad for a low-budget 80s b-movie, isn't it? 😂
If you like this, you'll love T2! Sarah is going to full bad ass mode, you'll learn more about the background story and the stunts and SFX are top until today!
About this movie: yes, it was THE breakthrough for Arnold as an action actor. Before, he was in "Pumping Iron", a kind of bodybuilder documentary, "Hercules in New York", a b-movie fantasy film and his first big role in "Conan the barbarian". Before his acting career, he won every bodybuilding contest, some of them multiple times including "Mr. Olympia" and "Mr.Universe". For "The Terminator" he had to lose weight because he was TOO stacked 😉
Fun fact: Lance Henrikson was first casted as the terminator because they are an "infiltration unit" and he looks like a normal guy, but then he got the role of one of the police officers in the station with Sarah. But he, Michael Biehn (Reese) and Bill Paxton (blue-haired punk) worked with James Cameron again later in "Aliens". BTW, Bill Paxton is the only human got killed by a Terminator, a Xenomorph and a Predator 😉
2:10 ...."I guess he stole his heart"..... The worst part is that it actually mae me laugh.....
"The Terminator": The Hero's Journey of Sarah Connor, assisted by Tech Sgt. Kyle Reese. You saw this on TV at age 5!? How did that happen? 13:11 At this point, the "Movies with Mary" reactor began singing a nursery-rhyme-like song counting down the 30 Cops as some do "100 Bottles of Beer on the Wall.";) 17:52 Ask the old folks how fast wartime romances develop, even under the most dire of circumstances. 20:03 Stop Motion terror. 20:25 Sarah's Inner Commander comes out. 22:50 The Eastman Kodak Kodamatic 940 camera that used Kodak Instant Picture Film. Terminated by Polaroid before it "went away like "Pontiac."
Wow, Kamilla!🙂You really knew very little about this film going in. "Terminator 2: Judgement Day" (1991) is the big film in this franchise, and is many fans favorite for good reason. Great reactions to your first Terminator film, Kamilla!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
"I used to always wonder what you were thinking at that moment".
She was thinking about him.😭😭😭
17:21 - Kyle talking about the polaroid of Sarah that he had saying, "I used to always wonder what you were thinking at that moment."...and it turns out she was thinking about him (22:49).
Before Sarah cut off Kyle when he was talking about John's father, he said he died some time 'before' the war.
Glad you enjoyed it. T2 will blow your mind away!!
T2 is entertaining, but it's nowhere near as good as this one.
My dad named me after The Terminator!
Watching you react reminds me of the time I was introducing my teen daughter to a great VHS or DVD movie every week. I liked watching her reaction when I knew there was a strong scene happening.
"I believe this is a movie franchise, too"
Yeah but 2 was the highlight. 3 is OK, but forget that the others exist.
I didn’t understand your confusion at the beginning of the movie. Because when you read the caption at the beginning of the movie, it tells you what it all is.
Technically this movie is classified as horror while being a thriller action film. But it's the 2nd movie that's an all action film.
2:12 is Reese reacting to the stolen heart joke
0:57 ...."This is where he's known from".... Well, he wasn't exactly an unknown, but this is the movie that turned him into an international star..... Personally, I prefer him as Conan, the Barbarian, but that's just me.....
The Terminator is arguably the greatest low-budget movie ever made. Arguably the greatest B-movie. And the sequel is arguably the greatest action movie ever.
Greetings from Finland girl!!! Cannot wait to see your reaction to Terminator 2 judgement day!!! "I'll be back" 😎
Watch part 2, the most crazy and mind blowing action movie of his time. 😁✌️
That restaurant where Sarah works still stands and my aunt lives near it. I’ve eaten there twice, back when I used to live with her.
I loved your stank face when Reese was explaining about the A/I betrayal :)
So great to see your first reactions to this classic.
22:20 -I personally suspect that before there was different John Connor, son of Sarah Connor, but Because of Kyle she never met the father and because of a little (or meaby much) luck she still born a boy who still became a great leader and of course she named him John and a little different timeline started, which is that one now
The deleted scenes explain that Sarah wanted to blow up the company that would invent the technology that would cause the machines to become self-ware and cause the nuclear war. She and Kyle decide to blow it up, and that is why they were making pipe bombs. The factory at the end is the same company that will invent the technology. That's why they ended up there. The very last deleted scene shows that the remains of the Terminator are how the company learns of the technology. So, the theme of the movie is that the more you try to change the future, the more you set it into place.
So insightful and delightful x
If she really thought about it. She would know she tells John about Kyle. John gave Kyle a picture of Sarah. Guessing he didn't do that for everyone. Sort of played matchmaker for his parents
I know the time paradox story can get kind of confusing. Like a vicious circle of a time loop. Kyle dies in the past, only to be born again in the future. Kyle's picture of Sarah burns in the fire 🔥 only to be taken again at the end of the film.
This whole concept is like recycling ♻️ the same things over and over again but fresh. I find it ironic that Kyle says he always wondered 🤔 what Sarah was thinking about in the picture. If he only knew. Sarah was thinking of him as she made her recordings. -OG
21:24 - a woman not paying attention and then missing a crucial part… I think we can all relate to having witnessed that. 😂 It’s like the have to look around the room at everything when talking, they can’t just focus on the screen. 🤣
By far the best Terminator movie.
Looking forward to T2. You will love it.
John Connor and Skynet are both products of a time paradox causality loop of demented doom a go go.
2:53 Michael Connell Biehn glancing over the name "Michael B. Connor."
4:01 That's called a Big Wheel. All of us '80s kids had those. I had a Knight Rider one.
13:11 He's gunzerking!
15:28 That's the late Franco Columbu, one of Arnie's bodybuilder buddies of the time, as a model 102 Terminator.
22:54 Remember when Kyle said he'd always wondered what she was thinking at that moment? She was thinking of him.
The thing with this movie was there was a scene that was cut that they put in the special edition that showed as Sarah was getting put into the ambulance it goes and shows that she was outside cyberdyne systems. To me that is the closed loop. A cyberdyne robot ends up at cyberdyne at the end
The end is the beginning and the beginning is the end. The war is lost, so the machines come back to the beginning. John's beginning is from a soldier of the end... fun concept to play with.
The first Terminator movie is a horror/action movie.
You not knowing anything about this movie was perfect both for reaction and going into it.
Sarah had an arch she was confused and scared but at the last battle she went full leader mode and showed us the qualities her son will inherit. Something living beings can but machines cant.
Yet.
Great reaction! Please watch Terminator 2, it's even better than the first one. I'm pretty sure you'll love it.
This is definitely horror. It has many similarities to the slasher genre. There's even concept art of a damaged terminator crawling with a kitchen knife in hand. This horror element is what I personally think is the thing missing in later instalments
The $4.50 was a cover charge. About normal for the early 80s.
What was expensive were the drinks.
"I didn't know Terminator was a franchise." Because it isn't a franchise. Only 2 Terminator movies were ever made. This one and the sequel Terminator 2. That's it. No other Terminator movies were ever made. Ever. EVER. E-V-E-R.
FAKE NEWS
If you liked this movie even a little bit (which I see that you did) you are gonna love the sequel! It's gonna be one of your favorites!
The next movie is one of the very few movies in history, where the sequel is better than the first one.
Great reaction Centane. You really should react to the sequel to this, "Terminator 2: Judgment Day", you get to catch up with Sarah and her son John Connor, it's excellent and often considered better than this one.
Some of the actors in this turn up in the Alien franchise.
The Terminator is kind of a horror movie. In fact, James Cameron cited Halloween (1978) as an influence for the movie.
It's Halloween, with guns.
That was fun, i enjoy seeing people speculate for their first time seeing this. (Been watching it all my life, so no surprises anymore.)
I did a comedy series over on my channel called Reversed Reviews (where i watch movies backward while narrating the new plot) first 2 episodes were on Terminator 1 and 2. You might enjoy it playing out differently.
