I was glad to see you finally reacting with a human emotion at Kyle's final moment. Very few other emotional reactions, but it's always great to watch people see this movie for the first time. Everyone loves it once they do. I swear it's one of the best of all time.
My favourite part, and a sad fact, is when Kyle said that he always wondered what Sarah was thinking at that moment in the picture. And she was thinking in Kyle during that tape record. Lovers across time....
I loved that Kyle said he wondered what Sarah was thinking about in the picture she had. Then at the end, she is thinking about Kyle when that very picture was taken. I always felt this was a Romance at its center - and a damn good one too.
Nicolette figuring out the photo right after Kyle gets shot a second time might be the earliest I've seen anyone connect it. FYI, old Polaroid photos were made pretty much the same as they are now: "secret" chemicals and some plastic layers. So, it's a transparent layer (perhaps acetate) that burns kind of odd compared to the more common photo papers that we typically use now.
A couple minor details in the extended cut of the film. When Sarah arrives to work, she gives herself a pep talk in the mirror to try to get through the day. When Reese is being interrogated, the Lieutenant starts having doubts as to if Reese is crazy (just shown in his mannerisms). After being shot in the police station, the Lieutenant holds on long enough to be alive when Reese and Sarah to come across him and with his last breaths he hands his service revolver to Resse and told him to protect Sarah. The morning after they spend the night under the bridge, Resse has a PTSD breakdown which further helps Sarah bond with him. Those scenes were cut to keep up the rapid pacing for the Theatrical version. Honestly, I think this is a movie that has something for everyone. Suspense, horror, tense action, and a love story. And this movie's budget when all was said and done was $6.5 Million which is about $20.5 Million today. Box office was $78.3 Million or $247.2 Million today. A tight script, good direction, a true master of special effects on the crew, and great actors made this movie an instant classic.
14:41 Fun Fact: This night club "Tech Noir" was created strictly for the film and they actually had to turn people away at the door who thought it was a real place. Also, the name was created by James Cameron in honour of the old Film Noir movies back in the day.
James Cameron, in an interview said that he based the name of the club on the old Film Noir films, and the fact that the movie was about technology was just a given.@@Bonko78
Yes we had phone books, but we also had a lot of numbers memorized. You call your friends and relatives and every time you had to actually physically put the numbers in, no speed dial, you tend to learn them faster. But every home also had some kind list of numbers, and unless you lived in a huge city, most phone numbers were only 7 digits.
Almost in the first scene with the three guys, the blue haired is Bill Paxton, a very well known actor who appeared in Titanic, Aliens or Twister, among another ones.
In the 80s overwhelmingly the alarm systems would be silent alarms. which would trigger an alarm system company to check the alarm, and if no response then the authorities would be called. In a mall, there would likely be no alarm system on the stores, and only alarm systems on the mall entrances.
OJ Simpson was actually considered to play the titular character, but James Cameron changed his mind, saying in an interview, "He's too much of a nice guy to play the role of a ruthless killer." 😳🤦 Mel Gibson, Sylvester Stallone, Tom Selleck and Lance Henriksen were also considered for the Terminator. Bruce Springsteen, Treat Williams, Scott Glenn, Matt Dillon, Sting, Michael O'Keefe, Kurt Russell, Tommy Lee Jones, and Christopher Reeve were considered for Kyle Reese. Lisa Langolis, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Rosanna Arquette, Jessica Harper, Melissa Sue Anderson, and Lea Thompson were considered for Sarah Connor.
It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear! And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until... it does a hard-target search of every gas station, residence, warehouse, farmhouse, henhouse, outhouse and doghouse in the area.
Regarding shotguns in police cars: Not all states issue shotguns and rifles to standard patrol units. Some do, usually to senior officers, while some don't even require very much seniority. Every state and sometimes every department makes up their own regulations. All such long-barrel weapons are locked at all times (yeah, yeah, a negligent officer might fail to lock it, but then it will rattle around and fall over, so probably not). Shotguns are often mounted between the front seats with a locking mechanism that requires a key or an button to unlock. The most popular models are electronically controlled. When the officer pushes a hidden button, the shotgun/rifle lock unlatches for a preset time (usually ten seconds or so). It locks again when the weapon is replaced in the rack. The racks can also be unlocked with a special key. A strong man might be able to break the lock but probably not. A clever man mind find the button but it might take some searching. A terminator doesn't need a button; it takes what it wants - I don't know how Kyle Reese got that shotgun so fast. Hollywood magic I suppose.
"The San Ysidro McDonald's massacre was an act of mass murder which occurred at a McDonald's restaurant in the San Ysidro neighborhood of San Diego, California, on July 18, 1984. The perpetrator, 41-year-old James Huberty, fatally shot 21 people and wounded 19 others before being killed by a police sniper approximately 77 minutes after he had first opened fire." Terminator got to Cali a little earlier than expected 😔
This was a really good reaction to _The Terminator._ Nicolette, you have talent. You're also the first reactor I've watched who cried during Sarah's dream sequence. It's such a tragic vision of the future. People living like rats, barely hanging onto life. Society reduced to charred remains. The worst is the woman sobbing. We never see her, we can only hear her. Why is she crying? For herself? Her family? Humanity? All of it? We can only imagine.
25:09 What a lot of people don't get is that the terminator's self-surgery isn't just gratuitous gore. It's meant to reinforce what Reese is saying about it, that it doesn't feel pain or anything else. It's a "show, don't tell" way of proving that it's just a machine because no one could cut out their own eye like that.
One of my favorite parts is when Kyle says that he always wondered what Sarah was thinking about in the picture of her. Then you see that she was thinking of him when it was taken.
It's a delight to encounter youngsters experiencing this movie for the first time. A young person could take many a message from this movie but the deepest and most meaningful one of all is that you should never underestimate yourself nor the fullest extent of your capabilities in life. The Terminator (1984) probably shouldn't exist at all, the budget just wasnt there yet through determination, adaptation, passion and grit the people behind the project made it reality even when the financial odd's were stacked against them every step of the way.
Leaving shotguns unattended in unlocked police cars..., that's the REAL crime in this movie! " That's the REAL crime in this movie!" should be your catch-phrase!
We never actually saw Bill Paxton get murdered at the Griffith, as Arnie just tossed him against the gate. The other guy who had his heart ripped out was the guy who played the main villain in Sylvester Stallone’s Cobra. In that one, he was beaten, impaled on a hook and burned to death. What a way to get a death upgrade.
MGM Lion's name is Leo. = ) I met a version of him once. Was with my advanced makeup class from an out of state university and on part of our L.A. trip, we got to do private tours of both Paramount (saw Billy Crystal and saw Ted Danson on the CHEERS set) and MGM. There when exiting a building...I was in front...we walked into the middle of them filming a promo with Leo. NOTHING between the lion and me. I stopped short, and made the others back up. Leo did not complain about me being in his sight line.
1:35 The Lion(s) in the MGM logos already have names, actually. From 1924-1928 it was Slats, from 1928-1956 it was Jackie, for 1956 and 1957 it was George, and from 1957 until 2021 it was Leo. In 2021, MGM debuted a new CGI logo which features a lion partially based on Leo.
Yeah, that Arnold. That terminator just kept going. It was crazy! I'm glad Sarah Connor the mother of John in the future managed to get away. Have you seen An American Werewolf In London? It was an 80's horror/comedy classic. Maybe sometime you could do a reaction video of that? I'm sure you would love it.
That wasn’t Arnie as the Terminator in the ‘flash forward’ dream sequence with Kyle telling Sarah. There are many models. Arnie was model 101. The Terminator that shot the dogs in the rebel underground was another model (102?) played by Arnie’s body-building good friend Franco Colombo. Saw the Terminator in the theater with my brother. We were both blown away. We went to the washroom and exchanged looks while doing ‘business’. Without a word between us, we quietly ‘merged’ into the group entering for the next showing, found a seat and watched it again. Nicolette! You asked if this is the start of the war? In a deleted scene that last battle did take place in a robotics factory.
@@TennSeven I often misspell his last name because of auto-correct. Embarrasing. My brother who saw Terminator with me is named Franco! First saw Franco Columbo in Arnie’s first major film ‘Conan the Barbarian’. He had a very brief cameo, but looked like a beast as a near-naked Pictish Scout in the opening battle scene. RIP.
T800 is the combat chassie and model 101 is the mold they have on top to make it look like a person. The 101 was first model they made. They explain that in T3.
The one continuity error I saw way back when, can never unsee it and see it everytime... The 3 Sarah Connor phonebook street addresses are 1823, 2816 and 309 but the address above the door of the first Saran Connor is 14239
If you haven't yet watched T2, I strongly recommend you choose either the 1993 "special edition" (153 min) or the theatrical cut (137 min). Avoid the "ultimate cut" with the alternate ending (156 min) at all costs. (That ending is no good.)
I love how there's denial as to how great this movie is. This is a classic, and your facial expressions fail to belie how the rest of us feel! Killer robots are class!
@ 15:00 It’s funny how you mentioned how toned Ginger’s legs are. Her real name is Bess Motta and back in the 80’s, she hosted an aerobics workout show on TV.
At the end of the story . . . All those co-workers at BIG BUNS restaurant are guessing as to what their Sarah has been up to in just the past couple of days - - - 1 murdered guy in the gun store 2 gals named Sarah murdered 2 dead in her apartment several killed in that club Tech Noir 17 cops dead in that Police Substation Sarah's mother murdered 1 pickup truck and 1 motorcycle, both wrecked 1 Body left dead on the freeway One 18 wheeler gas tanker truck burning 1 body and 1 squished robot found in a machine shop AND 1 dead cat in the terminator hideout room ! YUP . . . Our Sarah really knows how to do the town.
I've watched a few female reactions to The Terminator, and their instincts and theories have been top notch. Some making amazing leaps as to how Skynet developed. I didn't come close when I watched it when i was young. Watching a few, I would have skipped to certain parts, but this lady's analysis is tight through out.
My dad show me how to hotwire a car back in the day not for any criminal reasons it was insanely easy in Hollywood movies they do it wrong but were so close we figured they just don't want to show people how to really do it
“Stop telling model numbers, how does that add to the story?” Could it be a much quicker way of saying there’s lots of different types of them all being made in factories than if he were to say “there’s lots of different types of them all being made in factories?” 🤔
43:10 "Come back to see me reacto to Terminator 2." Must resist. Must. Resist... Must... Not... Say... The... Thing... I'll be back! (I tried, I really tried, but I couldn't stop myself.)
one of the cases when a very good book was written based on a movie (however, the one about the second one is insanely stupid!). As for T-2, I strongly advise you to watch the original movie version, and not one of the many with added scenes, or more bad - with an alternate ending apparently filmed with the last $5 of the budget. 😊
I like the scene where Silberman says "Why didn't you bring any ray guns?" I got another time travel movie for you to react to it's one of my favorites, The Final Countdown (1980) The U.S.S. Nimitz goes back to December 6th, 1941. It's filmed on the Nimitz. It's like Top Gun meets Back to the Future.
Dude. No shit, for whatever reason my parents let me watch this when I was like six. And when that Tonka truck got run over, I distinctly remember my parents being like "pick up your toys!" xD
No, we did have numbers memorized. The phone book was for strangers or people you didn't talk to often and businesses but other than that we memorized everyone else's number. And of all you know our the persons name there was no better way. You have to call all the names listed in the phone book if they had the same name. Knowing their middle name or initial would help. Also everyone was not listed. My family always paid for our number to NOT be listed because they didn't want anyone to be able to just get our number and address. The cops aren't leaving their guns in the passenger seats. It's in a holder made for the shot gun and is located in the crib so they can gain acess quickly. What they are doing wrong is leaving the door unlocked. Back then you would have to be totally insane to steel a cop car i think that might stop hold true today.
Hey Gorgeous! Shout out from the US Marine Corps! 08:00 That's the neighbor in Gremlins! I fell in love with this movie as a kid in the 80s! just like Predator, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Lost Boys, Beverly Hills Cop, and Back To The Future! There are thousands of great 80s movies out there! Better Off Dead was a classic! Glad to see you love this movie! Keep up the great reactions!❤🤍💙💛
James Cameron intended for the Terminator Saga to END with Terminator 2. The greedy studios decided to make a bunch of inferior sequels without James Cameron that ruin everything Sarah accomplished in Terminator 2.
Fun Fact: Arnold Schwarzenegger was originally cast as the good guy but when he read the script he liked the told or character of the Terminator more so like when he and James met for lunch or whatever Arnold mentioned it to him and James went with it
Arnold Schwarzenegger wasn't Cameron's first choice to play the deadly cyborg. O.J. Simpson was originally considered but they decided O.J. could never be credible as a remorseless killer.
Can't wait to see your reaction to T2. I was 13 when The Terminator came out and 20 when T2 came out and they are two of my favorite movies ever. But I will say that T2 is one of those rare instances where the sequel is better than the original.
A lot of burglar alarms were "silent" alarms that most people could not hear, but that rung audibly at a company office. The company then called the cops.
15:01 Ginger is played by Bess Motta. The reason her legs are so toned is because she's an exercise demonstrator and appeared in the Canadian produced television series "20 Minute Workout" for two seasons in 1983 and 1984.
Sarah was thinking of Kyle when the picture was taken. This is my favorite thing about the film. Kyle's story is so tragic, yet so beautiful. All he's ever experienced is pain and survival. A picture of Sarah gave him comfort and peace in such a horrific world. Then he meets her, and experiences genuine joy in that motel room, probably for the first time in his life. He smiles for the only time in the film after he dresses back up. Then he dies moments after finally being loved. I like to think he'd believe it was all worth it... "I came across time for you, Sarah." - Kyle Reese
@theAdMax1 Yes agreed T 2 is sooo good and one of the all time great sci -fi action thrillers . along with ALIENS as two of the best sequels ever to any franchise both directed by CAMERON. Arnie is back in top form but back as a villain you say ?🤔 Ahh i see maybe you 're playing some trick shhhh no spoilers for Nicolette i'll wait for her reaction .🤫 Great reaction Nicolette enjoy the weekend CHEERS .
The lion has a name. He is "Leo the Lion" & he started working at MGM in 1957. Worked there for over 50 years. If you saw a lion in an MGM movie, it was probably Leo.
The MGM lion's name is Leo. He is the 8th lion MGM has used. He was born in 1956 and has been the mascot since 1957. The longest and oldest mascot to date with MGM.
Nicolette: Sarah Connor. A lot of Sarah Connors. Me: not for long. Also, the cop countdown was one of the funniest/coldest things I’ve seen in a while. 😂
30:15 "I would have thought the soldier gear would be better 40 years in the future." Well, the machines destroyed the world on August 29, 1997 according to the movies. That was only 13 years after this movie's events. Not much upgrading in just 13 years, then the remnants of humanity living in caves might not have had much opportunity to invent better tech.
The “come with me if you want to live” meme is from this movie. It’s sort of like watching “Halloween” and noticing the cliche scenes, then realizing many of them came from that movie.
Arnold... meet Nicolette. Enjoy!
great reaction!
..2nd is better..
There is a certain order to watch them....
I don't get your generation,. Bro this Bro that even when you are talking about a female. That should be "Sis".
What’s her IG?

So, it's a transparent layer (perhaps acetate) that burns kind of odd compared to the more common photo papers that we typically use now.
31:24 Polaroid pictures were thick, plastic, and multi-layered...hence the bubbling.
"I used to always wonder what you were thinking at that moment." - She was thinking about him... now that's just beautiful.

It means "black technology", very apt for this movie.
Thanx Captain Obvious@@Bonko78
They should have charged them 4.50 to get in.
@@ChrisReise Not so obvious if you think Film Noir is the inspiration. Perhaps it is, perhaps not. Perhaps it is a double entendre.

Lisa Langolis, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Rosanna Arquette, Jessica Harper, Melissa Sue Anderson, and Lea Thompson were considered for Sarah Connor.
Also, note that the terminator in the beginning is wearing gloves and they just couldn't get them to fit OJ.
Henriksen was waaaaay more "considered" than the other actors you've mentioned.
@@SCharlesDennicon Cameron did that on purpose to get funding since Henrikson was the biggest star here at the time.
They should have gone with Lea Thompson for Sarah. She’s got a history (pun) of trying to hook up with time travelers…
It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear! And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until... it does a hard-target search of every gas station, residence, warehouse, farmhouse, henhouse, outhouse and doghouse in the area.
Most people like T2 more, but I like the idea of a bootstrap, time travel, love story.
T2 hasn't a patch on this masterpiece...................
Regarding shotguns in police cars:
Not all states issue shotguns and rifles to standard patrol units.
Some do, usually to senior officers, while some don't even require very much seniority.

This is probably my second favorite time travel movie, it's a perfect loop.
37:56 reality really slammed home for Sarah - she believed Reese but when she saw the terminator without flesh there was a whole new understanding!

The MGM Lion is named Leo, of course.......
"Baby Arnold" was 37 when this came out. Nice to know I can potentially still call myself a baby, though.
He was also already a millionaire before he even made this film...
He'll find her... that's what he does... it's ALL he does!
" Press the big red button ....press the big red button" The big red button is ALWAYS stop-the-machine , press the little green one instead
The two famous quotes from this movie, "Come with me if you want to live" and "I'll be back"
those lines will never die...
@@Metzwerg74 Mostly because every single Arnold Schwarzenegger action film made since won`t let them!
I've watched a few female reactions to The Terminator, and their instincts and theories have been top notch. Some making amazing leaps as to how Skynet developed. I didn't come close when I watched it when i was young.
Watching a few, I would have skipped to certain parts, but this lady's analysis is tight through out.
My dad show me how to hotwire a car back in the day not for any criminal reasons it was insanely easy in Hollywood movies they do it wrong but were so close we figured they just don't want to show people how to really do it
3:55 "Was this, like, _very scandalous_ when it came out?"
No. It's Rated R. This is why. This is _not_ content for children.
4:28 _Not_ content for _children._
James asked Arnold, "why do you want to play the villain so bad?"
Arnie replied, "Because everyone always remembers the villain."
He was right.
"sorry, almost-murders make me sneeze"😆
The naked Arnold in the first two scenes were actually blacked out in the originals, but modern screens are much sharper and show it very clearly.
No it wasn't scandalous. Nudity was a lot more common in movies back then (for men and women).
“Stop telling model numbers, how does that add to the story?”
Could it be a much quicker way of saying there’s lots of different types of them all being made in factories than if he were to say “there’s lots of different types of them all being made in factories?” 🤔
43:10 "Come back to see me reacto to Terminator 2."
Must resist.
Must. Resist...
Must... Not... Say... The... Thing...
I'll be back!
(I tried, I really tried, but I couldn't stop myself.)
one of the cases when a very good book was written based on a movie (however, the one about the second one is insanely stupid!). As for T-2, I strongly advise you to watch the original movie version, and not one of the many with added scenes, or more bad - with an alternate ending apparently filmed with the last $5 of the budget. 😊
I like the scene where Silberman says "Why didn't you bring any ray guns?" I got another time travel movie for you to react to it's one of my favorites, The Final Countdown (1980) The U.S.S. Nimitz goes back to December 6th, 1941. It's filmed on the Nimitz. It's like Top Gun meets Back to the Future.
He (Kyle) didn't die...but yes...L.A. is purgatory.🤔😁
Dude. No shit, for whatever reason my parents let me watch this when I was like six. And when that Tonka truck got run over, I distinctly remember my parents being like "pick up your toys!"
xD
No, we did have numbers memorized. The phone book was for strangers or people you didn't talk to often and businesses but other than that we memorized everyone else's number. And of all you know our the persons name there was no better way. You have to call all the names listed in the phone book if they had the same name. Knowing their middle name or initial would help. Also everyone was not listed. My family always paid for our number to NOT be listed because they didn't want anyone to be able to just get our number and address.
The cops aren't leaving their guns in the passenger seats. It's in a holder made for the shot gun and is located in the crib so they can gain acess quickly. What they are doing wrong is leaving the door unlocked. Back then you would have to be totally insane to steel a cop car i think that might stop hold true today.
audience could not have thought of a sequel. When it came out 7 years later, no one knew what would happen.
Hey Gorgeous! Shout out from the US Marine Corps! 08:00 That's the neighbor in Gremlins! I fell in love with this movie as a kid in the 80s! just like Predator, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Lost Boys, Beverly Hills Cop, and Back To The Future! There are thousands of great 80s movies out there! Better Off Dead was a classic! Glad to see you love this movie! Keep up the great reactions!❤🤍💙💛
2 is even better. Bigger budget, better effects.
James Cameron intended for the Terminator Saga to END with Terminator 2. The greedy studios decided to make a bunch of inferior sequels without James Cameron that ruin everything Sarah accomplished in Terminator 2.
They gotta pay the bills bro😂😂
"Cut your losses, you have not known him that long"
And that explains all the single moms nowdays
Fun Fact: Arnold Schwarzenegger was originally cast as the good guy but when he read the script he liked the told or character of the Terminator more so like when he and James met for lunch or whatever Arnold mentioned it to him and James went with it
Arnold Schwarzenegger wasn't Cameron's first choice to play the deadly cyborg. O.J. Simpson was originally considered but they decided O.J. could never be credible as a remorseless killer.
If the role doesn’t fit…
The jury didn't think he could be a remorseless killer either.
who is she man she looks FAR MORE BEAUTIFUL than WHOLE Bollywood actresses combined 😎🔥❤️
23:03 Dr. Peter Silberman. If you have occasion to watch this move additional times, you will find yourself hating this guy more and more.
I can’t take this reactor’s personality. Give me Coby any day of the week!
Can't wait to see your reaction to T2. I was 13 when The Terminator came out and 20 when T2 came out and they are two of my favorite movies ever. But I will say that T2 is one of those rare instances where the sequel is better than the original.
This future is only 5 years away now. Kyle Reese is from 2029.
He's a Terminator he doesn't care if dogs, children, or other Sarahs get in the way.
T2 is even better IMO. Love your enthusiasm for this one and can’t wait for you to react to the next. Enjoy and have a great day.
The part that bothers me most is that Sarah didn't get to enjoy that pizza.
So true
@@criminalcontent Will you be watching them in chronological order ?
@@kylereese4822 we've only recorded T2 so far, so that will be next - is this referring to where Genisys / Dark Fate timelines go?
And Ginger never got to enjoy her sandwich and milk!🤨
@@x_trio_3_po333 yeah but…..
A lot of burglar alarms were "silent" alarms that most people could not hear, but that rung audibly at a company office. The company then called the cops.
The punk with the blue hair is Bill Paxton, R.I.P to Bill Paxton
Best movie of the history.
15:01 Ginger is played by Bess Motta. The reason her legs are so toned is because she's an exercise demonstrator and appeared in the Canadian produced television series "20 Minute Workout" for two seasons in 1983 and 1984.
Sarah was thinking of Kyle when the picture was taken. This is my favorite thing about the film. Kyle's story is so tragic, yet so beautiful. All he's ever experienced is pain and survival. A picture of Sarah gave him comfort and peace in such a horrific world. Then he meets her, and experiences genuine joy in that motel room, probably for the first time in his life. He smiles for the only time in the film after he dresses back up. Then he dies moments after finally being loved. I like to think he'd believe it was all worth it...
"I came across time for you, Sarah." - Kyle Reese
Can‘t wait your reaction for the second part. Arnie is back as the villain and it‘s considered one of the best sequels of all time
@theAdMax1 Yes agreed T 2 is sooo good and one of the all time great sci -fi action thrillers .
along with ALIENS as two of the best sequels ever to any franchise both directed by CAMERON.
Arnie is back in top form but back as a villain you say ?🤔
Ahh i see maybe you 're playing some trick shhhh no spoilers for Nicolette i'll wait for her reaction .🤫
Great reaction Nicolette
enjoy the weekend
CHEERS .
Love terminator 1 but terminator 2 turns the dial up to 11.
The lion has a name. He is "Leo the Lion" & he started working at MGM in 1957. Worked there for over 50 years. If you saw a lion in an MGM movie, it was probably Leo.
In a deleted scene, that end place is indeed Cyberdyne Systems...
39:50 "Get into therapy ASAP!"
In that case, I recommend Terminator 2: the Therapy of Sarah Connors.
Btw, the computer factory at the end was Cyberdyne which is Skynet. In the extended cut, they went there on purpose to stop Judgement Day.
The MGM lion's name is Leo. He is the 8th lion MGM has used. He was born in 1956 and has been the mascot since 1957. The longest and oldest mascot to date with MGM.
That is because in 80s cars were made of steel, and were designed to survive crashes. Not like todays plastic protection via distingrating car designs
A commendable gesture indeed, but the lion already had a name...
They gave him the wildly unimaginative name of Leo. ...Leo The Lion. ;-]
I'll be back. To watch your reaction!
I saw this when I was a little kid in the late ‘80s and it was so intense! The Terminator, a nearly indestructible robot, was scary!
Wait, if he's in 1986 and he's having a memory from the future, wouldn't it be a flash-forward instead?
Nicolette: Sarah Connor. A lot of Sarah Connors.
Me: not for long.
Also, the cop countdown was one of the funniest/coldest things I’ve seen in a while. 😂
I’m excited for you to see the sequel!
James Cameron's first movie. As soon as he made that movie, everybody knew that that young, skinny blonde dude is going places.
30:15 "I would have thought the soldier gear would be better 40 years in the future."
Well, the machines destroyed the world on August 29, 1997 according to the movies.
That was only 13 years after this movie's events.
Not much upgrading in just 13 years, then the remnants of humanity living in caves might not have had much opportunity to invent better tech.
She's gonna fit right in in CinemaSins channel. 😄
The “come with me if you want to live” meme is from this movie. It’s sort of like watching “Halloween” and noticing the cliche scenes, then realizing many of them came from that movie.
Did you miss the significance of the picture the kid took at the end?
