Please do T2
They had a bigger budget and answer all your questions
Michael Biehn who plays Reece here also featured in Aliens from 1986. James Cameron used a lot of same actors, actresses in his films at this time. Terminator 2 was more explosive compared to this which cost only £6m or so to make.
@philshorten3221
Did you read the comment? Looks like she already did.
If not, PLEASE do the THEATRICAL cut of Terminator 2. (AKA T2 Judgement Day).
Most of the extra scenes in the extended cut are too cringe for me. They also just slow down a top tier action flick. They were cut for a reason.
@@mrhobsSo I guess you're not too much interested in the story, characters, deeper meanings, etc. in action film but rather in suspense, action and special effects? It's not necessary an issue but action films in my mind should more than that. Especially when they dealing with heavy themes such as the Terminator franchise does
I agree that some of the extra scenes are a bit cheesy (smiling scene in particular) but others add more to the story and the characters
Miles Dyson familly scene comes to mind. I don't want to dwell too much into that sequence but I'm pretty sure you can guess why I mentioned it as an example of what I'm trying to say. This particular sequence is great in so many ways. It really profounds Miles Dyson as a character. You can understand why he's doing what he's doing which makes him somewhat relatable because he's just normal person being passionate with his job. The sequence should've not been cut out from the theatrical cut of the film. It's a shame really
@@JohnSmith-jn7nc I understand the case you're making for story over action, which isn't really what I was talking about. Let's not make this action vs story, they go together. I'm going to ignore what you said about my preferences, because even if you say its not an issue, to me it is. I don't want to be characterized as some bone headed action junky. Of course the story is the most important part.
The angle I'm coming from is that of a film geek who loves a tightly crafted movie. In filmmaking, as you know, you have to cut absolutely everything that doesn't move the story forward. Sometimes you have to sacrifice amazing bits of story detail in order to keep the momentum going and building in order to have a satisfying end.
I'm actually on your side here, in part, as I do after all find the extended Lord of the Rings films mostly better. (Though as the years go on, I'm starting to appreciate the theatrical cuts a bit more... at least for one or two of the films. Personally I would recommend new viewers watch the extended Fellowship, then theatrical Two Towers and Return of the King, THEN wait a year or two, and watch only the extended versions... or not, extended versions are fine.)
Its fine if you like the extended T2, but to me, most scenes that were added back in already have other scenes that communicate the same thing. I don't like the redundancy. The smiling bit is a good example... there are other scenes that cover this well enough. The worst offender to me is the scene with Kyle, its just too sappy and cringe, it doesn't do Sarah's character justice. (As much as I wish Kyle could have been in the movie... that was not the way.) I would be embarrassed to show a new fan that version of T2 for their first viewing.
Well I barely remember the Miles Dyson extra scene, maybe you have a good point there, I'll have to watch it again, I'm sure its interesting, but all the scenes I remember are either cringe, or have bits of dialogue that are repeated from other scenes. That's the main reason I can't watch that version. Feels like I'm watching them tell me the same thing twice or more times. It gets unnatural, and takes me out of the movie.
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....
You're right. That's crazy. I've seen The Terminator a million times and that's never occurred to me. That's sweet
"I'LL BE BACK!" For your next reaction, that is.
And she skips completely over that entire scene.
@TommygunNG we can only smile and chuckle at the folly of young ppl and take solace in that they will naturally come to conclusions.
Famous line from the 1994 movie last action hero...
@@matsv201 from the mouths of babes
One purpose of the opening credits was to assure that the theater audience had time to get to their seats from the concession stand, and to help build audience anticipation.
TRUE. 🍿🍫🥤
Neither is true as the actors guilds/unions requires opening scenes for actor name recognition , studios have to pay large fines for cold openings.
While true later, that wasn't their original purpose. Originally they mimicked the opening and closing overtures that were common at musical plays and before that symphonies. And these were to introduce the audience to the sounds of the music they would be enjoying and ensure everyone was seated. @@chinabluewho
people just dont have the attention span is what the main issue is and why i think it was changed. People need things to keep from them looking at their phone or watch to see their heart rate. Relax and enjoy going to the movies kiddos. IM glad she was not a chatter box like most as the saying goes you can say more with less.
Can’t believe this movie turns 40 this year 🤯
Yep.its also the same year Ghostbusters came out....as well as transformers action figures came out.
In the days of watching movies in theaters, people were still coming in and settling into their seats with their popcorn, drinks, and candy so there was usefulness to longer intros.
It's a good reaction. No silly jokes and unnecessary conversations. Thank you, Verdy!
In 1984 they didn't have PG13 ratings, it was G, R, or X.
This was the best of all the Terminator films.
PG existed already. The previous ratings were G, PG, R, X. In 1984 PG-13 was added to fit between PG and R. Long long ago, the ratings were G, M, R, X
PG-13 debuted in 1984. Red Dawn was the first film with that rating.
I’m pretty sure where she lives they have a different rating system. I think she’s Canadian and if I recall she mentioned she lived in Quebec, which would be why she mentioned the 13+ rating.
Technically the X rating was a possible MPAA rating until 1990, but because of the porn industry's use of the rating, by the mid 70s, no studio would submit a film that would potentially get that rating because it would be financial doom for the film. A Clockwork Orange received an X rating in '71 and Last Tango In Paris was the last mainstream film to be released with such a rating in 1972.
The first 'Terminator' movie launched the careers of Arnold Schwarzenegger and director James Cameron and his then-wife Gale Anne Hurd (who would work on 'The Walking Dead' series) ... Actress Linda Hamilton also did the 'T2' sequel (She will be on the final season of 'Stranger Things' series) ... Actor Lance Henriksen was supposed to be the original 'Terminator'(an ordinary, faceless assassin) but Arnold read the script and wanted to play the 'Terminator'... so, Lance Henriksen played police detective Vukovich in the movie. Lance Henriksen did star as the android 'Bishop' in another James Cameron film 'Aliens'... and actor Michael Biehn who played the soldier 'Kyle Reese' also had a decent Hollywood career.
Arnold was a celebrity bodybuilder from Austria at the time and was looking for an acting career in Hollywood... 'The Terminator' gave him a huge hit and a massive career in the 80's... He went on to make more action hits like - 'Predator' ... 'Commando' ... 'Conan the Barbarian'... but he also made comedy movies like 'Kindergarten Cop'... 'Twins'...
In 1991, Arnold, Linda Hamilton and director James Cameron did the sequel 'Terminator 2: Judgement Day'... and it outshone the first movie.
Arnold did 'Terminator 3'... but without Cameron or Hamilton involved... it did well for its time.
Subsequent 'Terminator' movies were not remarkable and strayed from the original concept/ timeline... 'Terminator: Salvation' (#4) was the last good one, but it was done without Arnold.
CONAN launched the career of Arnold. The Terminator solidified him as an action star.
Arnold's first movie was "Hercules in New York" (1969). He had some other films during the 70s - famously, "Pumping Iron" and "The Villain."
@@ericv7720 Those flicks did not launch his movie career.
@@sumonjamal1653 You mean, make him a star. And you're right, that would have been around the time of Terminator, Commando, and Conan the Destroyer.
Schwarzenegger was Rob Reiner's first choice for Fezzik in 'The Princess Bride', but the movie took so long to develop that he was too busy to do the role.
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.
Yeah, l heard he now passed away now.
Complications during heart surgery.
The actor who played the alien bounty hunter from the X Files is in that scene also. He's the guy that stabbed the Terminator.
A classic of course. It was quite low budget but they did a lot with what they had. And of course over time it turned into the endless series, where they could just reboot it into anything they wanted. The second one was the peak, where the success of this one gave them a considerably bigger budget. And, though it was one of the ones where they just changed it to be whatever they wanted, Terminator Genesys is a pretty interesting one.
Get ready for one of the best sequels ever made, if not the best. "I'll be back" to watch your reaction to T2! Sorry, coudn't keep myself from using the line. []:-)
Dude, that was actually a cool comment. 😊
That was a fun reaction to The Terminator, Verdy. You don't squirm in your chair and hide your eyes reacting to music. I look forward to seeing your reaction to T2.
VERDY you have to check out Terminator 2 Judgment Day to understand what you have seen.
T2 is extraneous. You can "order sand" everything without it.
My favorite part of this movie is that Kyle spent half of his life looking at her picture, wondering what she was thinking about, when in the end it turns out she was thinking about him.
The possibility for the rating difference is that back in 1984 the film rating board had not added the pg-13 get so that anything that was deemed to excessive for a pg rating was given an r rating.
Two movies in particular, "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" and *Gremlins" influenced the PG-13 rating because of the frightening content (both were PG). The first film to be given that rating was "Red Dawn" .
Bit of Trivia.
The Blue spiky haired punk at 4:44 is Bill Paxton who played Private Hudson in Aliens.
Reese (Sarah Connor's protector) in The Terminator is Michael Biehn who played Corporal Hicks in Aliens.
Not just from a picture, John had been talking Sarah up to Kyle ever since he met him because he already knew.
Exactly. I'm sure John made his mom out to be the greatest woman imaginable... especially while talking to Reese
Your gonna love T2
Arnold's outfit is so awesome in this movie, the jean jacket and fingerless gloves and boots and pants 👍
"Come with me if you want to live", "I'll be back", and "get out" became famous tag lines that people would quote and all 3 are used again in T2.
Great reaction! I'm delighted that you're doing movie reactions.
The title opening is the best ever. Dark, menacing and sad. I understand it might look cheesy today but it sets the tone for the movie perfectly.
I like how the opening scene gives weight to kyles statement he will rip her heart out.. Brutal.
23:44 "That's weird. From just a picture?"
Not just a picture.
Sarah Connor is a legend and she's a legend because people tell stories about her, especially her son who told him countless stories.
Might be still a little weird, but doesn't everybody have a celebrity crush?
An explanation of the rating system:
1) Use the F word twice and it will be enough for an R rating (other curse words are okay, as long as it isn't excessive).
2) Speaking of excessive, twice in the 1976 Bad News Bears, a kid rolls out a list of racial epithets, back then, no big deal, but use that kind of language today and you will get an R rating.
3) Bare female breasts is not enough for an R rating, but bare breasts in a sexual context will bump it up to an R rating.
4) Use of violence is a judgement call when the MPAA board watches the movie. Most of the time violence, and even gruesome violence, will only earn only a PG-13 rating.
5) A movie doesn't have to be rated by the MPAA. A film production company can skip the entire MPAA process, but that's a roll of the dice and you better have an extremely successful social media campaign to make any money on the movie. Movies have skipped the MPAA process and made bank with an UNRATED classification.
6) Europe, completely the opposite process. Nudity is no big deal in the European market. Kids can watch a movie with nudity because of the prevalence of nude beaches (and topless sunbathing in public parks and other public places) across Europe. Violence, on the other hand, and the movie will get an adult only rating. This is why Verdy was surprised at the 13+ rating.
I think American Prudery is getting worse instead of better. No skin at all in the movie Superbad, but still gross dancing scene aftermath. Compare this with Fast Times at Ridgemont High. What really stood out for me was Clash of the Titans in 81. Some brief nude scenes, but the remake of the movie, no skin at all. They even had a CGI Medusa with covered breasts! Looked like she was covered with a blindfold. Looked so gratuitous, and ridiculous I burst out laughing
If you watch Terminator 2, make sure you watch the Theatrical Release
The next two sequels basically tell the whole story.
sometimes opening credit sequences is artistry in itself.
San Francisco in California here in the U.S. has already based a law for Robots to be law enforcement , Police ! Love all your reactions, Thanks !!! 🌎✌️💖☺️
It’s great when young people watch older films then they get all the references that they had no idea it’s like a lightbulb going on😂
You really jumped ahead in your reaction. No reactions on the police station shootout, flashback to Kyle and the picture, making bombs, etc.
Ugh I saw that.
Im still dragging my feet on Patreon.
I liked this reaction a lot.
I barely remember seeing the movie in the cinema, I mostly remember the scene where the Terminator was repairing himself. Years later I watched it several times on VHS/TV/DVD. Obviously a classic.
Thanks for sharing.
The 13+ rating did not exist when this came out. Fun reaction.
Fun reaction! Love how intensely you watch and give full attention. Charming how you hide your face during intense scenes. Gremlins and Temple of Doom were the "culprits" that inspired PG 13 rating. Moms were taking kids out of the theatre left and right after certain kitchen scene in Gremlins. Parents and kids undoubtedly thought latest Spielberg creature movie was going to be all heart warming like E T, but this time with widdle fuzzy critters. ha ha
The Terminator and T2 were the Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back for my generation.
The Terminator is possibly the greatest "B-movie" ever made. By that i mean, it is the greatest low-budget sci-fi ever produced. Some of the effects stand out like a sore thumb. But The Terminator is still a great inspiration for future filmmakers. Cameron showed us what can be possible on a small budget and its freaking amazing.
T2 on the other hand is the greatest action movie ever made. Cameron showed us whats possible once youve established yourself in the industry. And its freaking phenomenal.
I mean, Linda Hamilton was so great in T2, she made Sarah Connor one of the greatest, strongest, most iconic female roles ever put on film. Her Sarah Connor is right up there with Cameron's own Ellen Ripley in Aliens and Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With The Wind.
Maybe my favorite time travel movie. I almost walked out when he took the Xacto knife to his eye.
35:27 FUCKIN FINALLY!
A detail missed by most is that Sarah doesn't drive AWAY from the storm, SHE'S DRIVING INTO THE STORM. Great symbolism.
p.s. if you want to know when beginning credits ended, I believe that was with George Lucas's first Star Wars, the original trilogy, came out, apparently the writers' union or something forced all movies to have credits at the beginning, but they didn't think Star Wars gonna gonna be a hit, so they didn't care it didn't have them at the start. When it became a hit, they sued for Lucas to put them in Empire Strikes back but the judge said since they didn't demand them in the first Star Wars, they didn't have a case any more.
Something like that.
p.s. 2 I personally love credits with music at the start, sets the mood as they bring you into the movie.
"Let Reese die." Haha! Savage!
You will love Terminator 2. T1 and T2 are the story that James Cameron wrote but was too large for one movie. Terminator 2 is the greatest sequel ever (IMHO) and maybe close to if not the greatest SciFi movie. Great reaction and wish you all the best. 😄
14:35 Totally forgot Lance Henriksen was in this movie as well. He's also the character Bishop in the Alien movies.
Dearest Verdy, you have the AC/DC Live at Donnington DVD on your bookshelf! Please, PLEASE let it mean you will react to 'High Voltage' from it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great reaction to The Terminator, shame you had to cut the entire Police station scenes. You will love T2. Stay safe and well.
I saw THE TERMINATOR when i was 8 years old. 30 years later still my favorite movie. Nothing has come even close.
Terminator 2 Judgement Day is one of the best movie sequels ever.
next one is the best of all Terminator movies
Having the credits and music at the beginning sets the mood of the film especially in theaters. It also gets people to stop any conversations they may be having prior to the movie starting. T2 is much better than the first.
I Like To Say : SAME HERE !
But I Remember Watching It For The First Time On Television About 40 Years Ago , I Remember They Board Cast It On Probably On ABC Or On NBC , It Was In The Mid 1980's , I Was Like 4 Years Old At That Time .
"That's not normal". Bless you, Arianne!
Credits before the movie started prevented people from walking out before they ran.
You crack me up when you're trying to hide behind your hands 😂😂😂
👍👴
Best reaction in the whole video is how French you were in response to "that coffee is two hours old"
Missed out one of the most famous lines in movie history!
I'm impressed that you've already watched "The Wizard of Oz." I'll need to check out your reaction after this.
Famous movies for you see after "The Terminator" would include "Alien," "Blade Runner," "The Matrix, "Silence of the Lambs," "Tombstone," "The Shining," "Jaws," and so many more. You're going to have a lot of fun!
It WAS that easy, but remember, that was set in 1984.
Cant hardly wait for #2 ! YOU will get a big kick out of it!!!
and the whole police schene is missing, with the most iconic line of "I'll be back"... actually, "come with me if you weant to live" is also missing... shame.
I’ll be back. Your facial expressions are priceless 🤣
So many awesome sci-fi movies from this era, definitely consider Predator (also with Arnold), Alien, The Fly, and The Abyss (also with Michael Biehn (Kyle Reese in this movie) and also by James Cameron).
Do a reaction of Big Trouble in Little China! :) One of the best movies of all time.. Kurt Russel in his prime.
❤ yes!
“Egg : will come out no more!
Jack : What? Huh? What’ll come out no more? “
Deroit Become Human, It is similar in a way to "The Terminator" T-800 Cyberdyne System model 101 series cyborg. Technology has evolved to a point where human like androids are everywhere. They speak, move ,and behave like human beings, but they are only machines serving humans. Play three distinct androids and see a world at the brink of chaos - perhaps our future - through their eyes.
After watching "The Terminator", you need to watch "Terminator 2" (Judgement Day), then you need to watch "Alien" (1979) & "Aliens" (1986). Few were cast in "The Terminator" like Bill Paxton (Punk Leader), Michael Biehn (Kyle Reese), and Lance Henrikson (Detective Hal Vukovich) cast in Aliens (1986). You will be immersed in watching the movies.
The two James Cameron Terminator films (this and Terminator 2: Judgement Day) are brilliant. All the others are garbage.
Such a great movie! Can't wait for your reaction to Terminator 2!! One of the best sequels ever!
Another crazy Arnold movie is "Total Recall". You might like that one.
My IMDB (BC) shows Quebec as 13+. We are listed as 14A with the rest of Canada 18A and up.
Is there a more bad ass line in a movie than "Cone with me if you want to live". So bad ass this movie is.
Hi Verdy awesome reaction :-) the 2nd Terminator is a masterpiece
I enjoyed this reaction! I hope you enjoyed this old movie.
...and now a review of terminator 2.
the best movie ever!!
Thanks for not censoring love scene
Do Part 2
The second one is my favorite. I think you’ll enjoy it 👍🏼
The Terminator's eyebrows were burned 🔥 off from the explosion just prior to his punching 👊 through the windshield to grab Sarah Connor.
The look makes him more intimidating and scary. Even a bit eerie. Like he's not quite human. Almost like he's an unstoppable Frankenstein monster! -OG
When this came out, you had to go to a Movie Theater, or wait till it came out on VHS.
Cant wait for the next one!
Seeing you watcing this is very different than your music reviews. Very interesting watching you react.
1. Linda Hamilton ROCKED. She's really built in T2. "Terminator 2 Judgement Day" is the action movie GOAT.
2. Along with Lance Henriksen/Vukovich, Michael Biehn/Reese and Bill Paxton/punk also played in "Aliens" as Bishop, Hicks and Hudson respectively.
3.We have limited AI now. So does China.😱
4. If this wasn't a movie the ammunition would not have been available on the gun shop counter.
5. Ginger's boyfriend Matt must be a lousy lay if she needs rock and roll to "rock and roll".🙄
6. Watching people react to the eye operation is worth watching this all by itself.
7. THAT'S a bitch slap.😏
Oh my gooooooodness. This is exciting. T2 after this eh, Verdi? The SFX on T2 were iconic, albeit nothing compared to now.
There is nothing wrong with falling in love with someone based on 1 picture imo xD
Especially when you're living in h**l. The image of Sarah Connor must be sweeter than candy, more fulfilling than the canned garbage you get to eat for rations, more rewarding than anything
Why the hell is 13 in my country... I screamed at my TV exactly! in agreement with you lol
Ok VERDY after seeing Terminator the first movie would say it's a horror or SYFY MOVIE OR BOTH IN ONE?. Arnold Schwarzenegger came back from the furniture in the begging of the film to kill the lead of the resistance John Corner Mother Sara Corner .
When you mentioned its rated 13+ in your country and R in....I guess the USA? I recalled the first scene when Arnold approaches the punk vandals and punches through one of them, thinking "13+? what the hell". Then you watch that scene and react with the same "what the hell" wording haha. Nice movie!
October 26 2024 is the 40th anniversary of THE TERMINATOR.
I noticed you watched the Godfather triple movie series by director Francis Ford Coppalla, who also did another great movie called Apocalypse Now, which I highly recommend watching because it's probably the best Vietnam War movie made without it actually being about the Vietnam War.
The point of the Credits at the beginning, was that back then most films were made to be watched in Cinemas. VHS, / Renting tapes from a shop was pretty new. So you go to a cinema, watch a film, and in the pre 70's in the UK (probably Canada too) the last thing after the film is they play the National Anthem "God save the whatever". NO ONE stayed for that. As soon as the film finished there was a mad rush for the doors. If the Credits were at the end, then you would still bugger off as soon as they started. So no one ever saw them - HOWEVER if the Credits are at the beginning, then you have no choice but to sit through them, if you want to see the film
You are very smart and keep watching 80's & 90's Movies! trust me.

Dans le temps, on s'en foutais pas mal des ratings, en tout cas mes parents me louais ce que je voulais, je pense que j'ai vu ce chef d'oeuvre en 89, à 9 ans, j'ai vu la suite, l'autre chef d'ouvre quand c'est sorti en cassette.
You might be thinking of "Tango & Cash" Sylvester Stallone and Kurt Russell 😊
Love your reaction vids!
I got a pair of the Nike Vandals shoes after watching this in 84👍
I think in the time when this movie was in the theatres you couldn't just skip the credits ^^
Good reaction. Good Dreamcatcher poster.
non non Verdy.... 😆 i'm out of words!!!
Good reaction; you've gotten my subscription. I would like to offer two suggestions for consideration: One, speak more during the watch. Giving your thoughts at the end is great, but also do it during. Elsewise your audience is just watching you sit silently.
Two, giving your thoughts at the end is great, but I'd like to suggest looking at the camera more. It makes it feel like you're actually talking with your audience directly.
Those are just a couple things to consider.
🌈🖖
Yeah you should watch T2 also. Also James Cameron. Arnold is in it. A really good sequel. Although a bit more of an action movie instead of the horror elements in this one.
T2 is much higher budget also.
Good reaction. Thanks 👍
To me: "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" Is the best movie of all time.
When this was released in the UK it was rated X, 18 or over. Nowadays with the likes of Saw and Hostel and all those torture porn films, anything else seems kinda tame in comparison. Keep up the good work.
I'll watch the beginning credits if it's cool and sets the mood like the Terminator
