The reason why the Terminator and John Connor were naked was because only living things can go be sent back through time so if they had clothes on it wouldn't be able they wouldn't be able to go back in time
There are 6 films, and 3 of them are direct sequels to Terminator 2 (5 and 6 operate as if 3 never happened). Most people only care about the first 2, that's why the later ones try to ignore part 3 and 5. Terminator 4 is different.
The most interesting part about this is that when Kyle is looking at the photo of Sarah. He's wondering what she is thinking about. And we discover that she was thinking of Kyle right at that moment. Lovers lost across time.
'At least the creepy guy will die". That's pretty cold. He's not a 'creepy guy', he's the roommates boyfriend and obviously on friendly terms with Sarah.
I love the way the T-1000 grows another arm to pilot the helicopter and shoot at the same time. People sometimes call it a mistake, claiming it's the arm of the real pilot.
"I didn't think we'd see his shlong in 1985". We didn't. The shot was originally designed to obscure him in shadow, this was just an unintended consequence of a hi-def blu-ray transfer.
"This lady's a great actress." Truer words were never spoken Mary. Linda Hamilton has always been excellent, as far back as Beauty & The Beast, an 80's romance show with Ron Perlman as the Beast (and written by GoT's GRRM). Just wait till you see her in the sequel. She's incredible.
@@leonielson7138 But it really only works because it was in the first. It was the first thing Kyle said to her when they met which both confused and calmed her.
Ironically for an Action flick, the script for the Terminator is studied in a lot of film classes. It's widely considered one of the most efficient scripts ever filmed.
It's really more a Horror movie than an Action movie. Specifically it's basically a Sci-Fi Slasher movie with some pretty awesome weighty concepts and subtlety and depth.
I mean, the plot of time travel to save the world from a dystopian future has been done a million times since 1984, but The Terminator was the first (I think?) mainstream movie not only to present such an idea, but to do it so freaking AMAZINGLY. I think X-Men's Days of Future Past arc did it first in 1981, but that was (the best ever) comic books.
"The Time Machine" book by HG Wells in 1951 and movie from 1960 is sort of on that theme although there he technically goes back to save the love of his and ends up going to a dystopian future.
Dystopian futures combined with time travel have been depicted in movies and TV shows since the invention of science fiction. James Cameron had to include an acknowledgement to Harlan Ellison in later releases of The Terminator because of elements involving time travel, etc., that were similar to an episode of the TV show The Outer Limits.
@@saintmatthias8187 But they didn't start in 1984, and there have been any number of good depictions of the theme. This does not detract from the best Terminator films, but Cameron's work is not unique.
In terms of Kyle Reese, perhaps it’s relatively easy for me to say, since I’ve watched this movie countless times, but: 1. He doesn’t behave like an assassin. 2. He doesn’t exhibit any sign of being a villain. 3. Not the least factor, but the flashback/forward from the future features him as a member of the human resistance and combating the machines. After those 3 factors, especially the last, why in the world would anyone be under the impression that he’s looking to kill Sarah Connor and even be surprised to learn that he’s a protector.
When Mary stated, "If this guy set it to kill the waitress, Sarah Conner, and then they fell in love instead," my thought was instantly, "she has NO idea!" I just knew we were in for an even better ride than anticipated in this occasion. 😁
Mary: *super excited about seeing 'naked buff men' on screen* Also Mary: *squicked out by roommate's boyfriend talking about taking his clothes off on the phone*
You 100% picked up on Reese being the Dad WAY quicker than me. It was a surprise when I found out. On the other hand, you 100% missed that a movie called The Terminator would involve a lot of shooting :D
She was six months along at the end of the movie. Most of the movie happened in May, and she is making that tape in November. Also, the terminator had already killed her mother and was still at the cabin when Sarah called.
Dark is an underappreciated masterpiece. Many of the same actors went on to be in other James Cameron's movies. Michael Biehn, Lance Henrickson and Bill Paxton were all in Aliens for example. Arnold's agent didn't want him to be in this movie because he was a villain, but it was his star making role as it turned out after Conan the Barbarian.
There are 6 films (and a TV show) in the Terminator series. It is pretty much universally accepted that the second film is the peak, and many would say the 3rd through 6th are not even worth watching, though some people enjoy some of them. The TV show ( _Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles_ ) was good, however. But it only lasted for 2 seasons and 31 episodes.
Sarah had to be the one to finally kill the Terminator. It's the beginning of her journey to become the Sarah Connor that will train and toughten her son to become the man who will inspire humans to fight back against the machines.
@@dongilleo9743 You're 100% correct. I was particularly responding to Mary's expressed opinion that she thought, or was hoping that Reese would kill the Terminator. However, her journey from Sarah Connor the waitress to Sarah Connor the rebel, does begin long before she kills the Terminator.
“I thought he was a good guy.” The word “terminator” derives from the word “terminate,” which is essentially synonymous to words like “eliminate” & “dispose.” In war, that is interpreted as “kill.”
I actually enjoy all the Terminator movies even the last one that got bashed it was actually entertaining and remember Mary loved all the Jurassic Park movies so keep going Mary it’s going to be a fun ride!
Since you enjoy a good sci-fi romance, you should definitely check out another 80's film by the name of "Starman." It stars Jeff Bridges and Karen Allen and is a wonderful exploration of what it is to be human.
That's one heck of a nightmare, if you ask me. I've had a similar nightmare once, but I was being chased by a Terminator instead of seeing it engulfed in flames. Still kinda scary.
Next up: T2 The song at Technoir club is Burnin' in the third degree by Tahnee and the Tryanglz. Most iconic song from this mega hit. Yes, there's more than a trilogy to this. Please watch all of them. There's also a show called The Sarah Connor Chronicles as well as books. "Come with me if you want to live" and "I'll be back" are the famous quotes from here.
Kyle Reece was played by Michael Biehn, who also played Hicks in Aliens! Both James Cameron films. And the drop-ship in Aliens is also in the Terminator movies! (Michael Biehn also played in Tombstone and in the Mandalorian episode The Jedi)
Arnie says "I'll be back," in at least three or four of his classic movies. This one is arguably the most iconic, but it became sort of a running joke.
The motel they got together was the real life Tiki Motel that existed until a few years ago. We have a recent album '555 Tiki Motel' inspired not by scifi/cyborg stuff from The Terminator but inspired by the working class and human vibes, the heartbreaks, the 80s. It got on college radio lots and a brief spot on the charts in our hometown.
Unnecessary "fun fact" I worked with a Sarah Conner and she had a little brother named John. I asked in an obvious way that it must've been because of the films. She said he dad hadn't seen the films and he just wanted them to have traditional names.
am loving your feast on all these classic movies i wouldn't be surprised if we end up seeing brandon lee's crow on here thank you for your amazing reactions
"He's a cyborg. His dad was a robot, his mom was a human." I have known a few women who have used electronic equipment in the bedroom. I think the Terminator clearly inherited his Dad's hydraulic buzzing sounds.
The opening scene, that's from the Griffith Park Observatory looking over LA. I used to live in this neighborhood. BTW, one of the guys he beat up there was Bill Paxton.
"I never heard so many guns in one movie.". You need to watch a few Clint Eastwood movies. Definitely need to watch Terminator 2 now! And I highly recommend The Gauntlet with Clint Eastwood from 1977.
Then after some self reflection on where his life was going while recovering from his broken legs he takes flight training and learns to fly helicopter and got a great job with the police until one night when......
John Connors know that kyle is his father. That's why he give him the photography, but Kyle don't know, he say he don't understand why John Connors give him the photography. If you want to know the inspiration of this story of futur's soldier back in time for a woman that he fall in love of her picture, I advice to you to see a french short film call "La jetée". You can find it on youtube with english subtitles.
James Cameron has openly admitted and it’s in his concept art for the film he was inspired by John Carpenter’s Halloween. I strongly recommend stopping after 2 but that’s just my two cents.
Terminator 3 has some redeeming points and I did find Terminator Salvation mildly entertaining, but the series definitely peaked with T2 and they could have just as easily left it at that. Actually, I would have liked it better if they'd have spent more time getting into the future post-apocalyptic world part of things in any sequels beyond the second one, which they kinda did with Salvation, but they didn't keep the same otherworldly atmosphere from Cameron's universe so it wasn't what I was hoping for.
Eh, Cameron claimed a lot of things about the inspiration for Terminator. He also claimed he got it all from a fever-dream. Then Harlan Ellison sued him and Cameron was forced to add an acknowledgement to the credits, so I think we know where most of the inspiration actually came from.
Yesssss I love the shoutout to Dark! You can’t not think of that show when watching any time travel program now. I agree, it’s still my favorite show of all time. I hope you do continue with the next movie in this series. It’s so much better than the first!
Hey Mary, thanks for doing one of my favorite classic 80's movies. Thumbs up from me. This movie was my first introduction into time travel, AI, apocalyptic, cyborg, sci-fi and it made a huge impression on me. Star Wars story started my love of sci-fi movies and Terminator blew my mind with its story concept.
You might not recognize Kyle (Michael Biehn), but he was Johnny Ringo in Tombstone. He was also the gunslinger in the Asoka episode of The Mandalorian. Also, want more gunshots? John Wick.
I think you’ve perfectly pointed out the time travel paradox. The only reason the Terminator came back in time was because of the future war but the only reason the machines are able to take over is because the Terminator came back. Another time travel movie that deals with this paradox is Back to the Future.
One of the best time travel movies and series made! You had me cracking up about the dad machine and the mom human and the romantic soap opera head turn kyle did. 🤣
I was wondering if you would recognize the actor playing Kyle. Probably would’ve rung a bell if the terminator walked up and said, “Well… Johnny Ringo…”
This is the greatest Sci-fi action slasher of all time, and was released in 1984; Terminator 2 is the perfect sequel; the other films are Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, Terminator: Salvation, Terminator: Genisys and Terminator: Dark Date
interesting fact : the bootstrap theory is named from 1st sci fi short story of the genre , by robert a heinlein " by his bootstraps " . one of the greatest writers of sci fi voted 1st grandmaster, by his peers.
Fun fact: They originally offered Arnold the Reese role, but he wanted the role of the Terminator. Some high ups thought it wouldn't work, or that it would hurt Arnold's career, thankfully, he didn't listen, and a legend began.
the paradox would be more of a causality loop; the act of stopping an event is what causes the event. the machines caused their own demise by sending a terminator back
Don't exactly agree with you. If you go back in time you are automatically both stopping at least one event and starting another event so you could make the counterargument that the machines caused an infinite number of outcomes by sending a terminator back. Even going back in time and causing one speck of dust to fall in a different direction could alter the outcomes in infinite directions.
I always found the scene of the Terminator, half blown apart, crawling over Sarah’s protector/lover’s dead body to get to to her an eery and intense moment in the film. Anyway, love your reactions to these films. Keep it up!
That scene was creepy, but the part where the Terminator was checking on his wounds and pulling his eye out almost made me throw up. That scene grossed me out.
Hi, if you plan on seeing T2, make sure it's the Special Edition. It contains extended scenes and gives more context to the film. It's by far the superior version. Keep up the good work! 😋👍
Terminator one and two are amazing. The only other movie that could be considered the best sequel of all time in my humble opinion is aliens the sequel to alien. Aliens also directed by James Cameron.
Ya. Agreed if we exclude Star Wars and LoTR trilogies as they were made basically as one continuous story... I would also throw the Godfather in that mix tho
T1 is great, T2 is better. After that they're mostly so-so. The TV show was alright, though. Reese is played by the same actor who played Johnny Ringo in Tombstone.

Except lots of metal apparently. Maybe Kyle should've worn a knight's armor.
Or just organic material on the outside
Cotton, wool, linen are all organic.
@@Yggdrasil42 wouldn't work on the outside, has to be surrounded by living tissue.
They should have explained only living tissue could travel.
"Everyone she ever cared about died, except her mom" lol anyone going to break the news?
Arnie says "I'll be back," in at least three or four of his classic movies. This one is arguably the most iconic, but it became sort of a running joke.
This one was also the first.
The motel they got together was the real life Tiki Motel that existed until a few years ago. We have a recent album '555 Tiki Motel' inspired not by scifi/cyborg stuff from The Terminator but inspired by the working class and human vibes, the heartbreaks, the 80s. It got on college radio lots and a brief spot on the charts in our hometown.
Mary: John Connor will have a father.
Kyle Reese: This is a one way trip. There is no going back!
Unnecessary "fun fact" I worked with a Sarah Conner and she had a little brother named John. I asked in an obvious way that it must've been because of the films. She said he dad hadn't seen the films and he just wanted them to have traditional names.
am loving your feast on all these classic movies i wouldn't be surprised if we end up seeing brandon lee's crow on here thank you for your amazing reactions
Mary, Michael Biehn (Kyle Reese) was in Season 2 of The Mandalorian in the episode with Ahsoka.
"He's a cyborg. His dad was a robot, his mom was a human."
I have known a few women who have used electronic equipment in the bedroom. I think the Terminator clearly inherited his Dad's hydraulic buzzing sounds.
her mother also died btw if you didint miss it her feet was upside down in the wall when IT talked to the phone.
The opening scene, that's from the Griffith Park Observatory looking over LA. I used to live in this neighborhood.
BTW, one of the guys he beat up there was Bill Paxton.
"Game over, man! Game over!"
@@LordGalenYT Exactly, man, exactly.
Great call on the Prediction and Glad You Post T1 & T2 back-2-back. These Two Movies might be the Best Ever 1-2 Punch!
The fact that our generations have never seen this movie shows how much we missed in life. Just have to say, wow
"I came across time for you" is a pretty epic pick-up line if you can back it up.
😂😂😂😂
Damn, those practical effects still look freaky as all hell... Can't wait to see what you think of the sequel!
“Oh we’re gonna watch this. I’m not. Oh maybe I should.” 😂😂😂😂😂
"I never heard so many guns in one movie.". You need to watch a few Clint Eastwood movies. Definitely need to watch Terminator 2 now! And I highly recommend The Gauntlet with Clint Eastwood from 1977.
I was thinking of Predator, actually. ;) You know the scene...
@@j.f.fisher5318 I'm thinking Heat... YOU know the scene :D
Um.... the opening of Saving Private Ryan?
“I heard the most amount of gunshots I’ve ever heard in my life in this film.”
So you’ve never seen Saving Private Ryan?
That driver who immediately exits his freight truck after being told by the T-800 to get out is the smartest side character in this film. XD
Then after some self reflection on where his life was going while recovering from his broken legs he takes flight training and learns to fly helicopter and got a great job with the police until one night when......
John Connors know that kyle is his father. That's why he give him the photography, but Kyle don't know, he say he don't understand why John Connors give him the photography.
If you want to know the inspiration of this story of futur's soldier back in time for a woman that he fall in love of her picture, I advice to you to see a french short film call "La jetée". You can find it on youtube with english subtitles.
James Cameron has openly admitted and it’s in his concept art for the film he was inspired by John Carpenter’s Halloween.
I strongly recommend stopping after 2 but that’s just my two cents.
this. I mean, you already predicted the plot of T2 so you gotta do that one. And it is excellent, incindentally. The rest... not so much.
Terminator 3 has some redeeming points and I did find Terminator Salvation mildly entertaining, but the series definitely peaked with T2 and they could have just as easily left it at that. Actually, I would have liked it better if they'd have spent more time getting into the future post-apocalyptic world part of things in any sequels beyond the second one, which they kinda did with Salvation, but they didn't keep the same otherworldly atmosphere from Cameron's universe so it wasn't what I was hoping for.
3 is pretty good, not as great as this and 2 though.
Eh, Cameron claimed a lot of things about the inspiration for Terminator. He also claimed he got it all from a fever-dream. Then Harlan Ellison sued him and Cameron was forced to add an acknowledgement to the credits, so I think we know where most of the inspiration actually came from.
@@michaelccozens I don’t care.
Yesssss I love the shoutout to Dark! You can’t not think of that show when watching any time travel program now. I agree, it’s still my favorite show of all time.
I hope you do continue with the next movie in this series. It’s so much better than the first!
Hey Mary, thanks for doing one of my favorite classic 80's movies. Thumbs up from me. This movie was my first introduction into time travel, AI, apocalyptic, cyborg, sci-fi and it made a huge impression on me. Star Wars story started my love of sci-fi movies and Terminator blew my mind with its story concept.
You might not recognize Kyle (Michael Biehn), but he was Johnny Ringo in Tombstone. He was also the gunslinger in the Asoka episode of The Mandalorian. Also, want more gunshots? John Wick.
I think you’ve perfectly pointed out the time travel paradox. The only reason the Terminator came back in time was because of the future war but the only reason the machines are able to take over is because the Terminator came back.
Another time travel movie that deals with this paradox is Back to the Future.
Yes, Terminator 2, along with Empire Strikes Back, The Godfather 2, and The Dark Knight are considered the greatest sequels of all time.
Ahem....The Two Towers.
Evil Dead II
All correct except that Return Of The Jedi > empire strikes back.
Aliens
One of the best time travel movies and series made! You had me cracking up about the dad machine and the mom human and the romantic soap opera head turn kyle did. 🤣
I was wondering if you would recognize the actor playing Kyle. Probably would’ve rung a bell if the terminator walked up and said, “Well… Johnny Ringo…”
or "Drake, we are LEAVING!!!"
Or «I say we take off, nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.»
“That’s abnormal. That Hawkins, he’s part fish”
You didn't see Reese kill any Sarah's lol. This and the second one are both really great movies.
This is the greatest Sci-fi action slasher of all time, and was released in 1984; Terminator 2 is the perfect sequel; the other films are Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, Terminator: Salvation, Terminator: Genisys and Terminator: Dark Date
You mean "Dark Fate" not Dark Date. However, Terminator Dark Date could make for a very interesting movie! A decidedly twisted rom-com maybe? 😉
Now that you know where "I'll be back" comes from, you need to know where "get to the choppa!" comes from.
interesting fact : the bootstrap theory is named from 1st sci fi short story of the genre , by robert a heinlein " by his bootstraps " . one of the greatest writers of sci fi voted 1st grandmaster, by his peers.
I prefer '-All You Zombies-' because it's just that little bit weirder 😃
@@pedanticperson1149 there is a movie "predestination" 2014 is closely based on it , its excellent and online.
Fun fact: They originally offered Arnold the Reese role, but he wanted the role of the Terminator. Some high ups thought it wouldn't work, or that it would hurt Arnold's career, thankfully, he didn't listen, and a legend began.
the paradox would be more of a causality loop; the act of stopping an event is what causes the event. the machines caused their own demise by sending a terminator back
They were probably using an earlier version of Windows.
Don't exactly agree with you. If you go back in time you are automatically both stopping at least one event and starting another event so you could make the counterargument that the machines caused an infinite number of outcomes by sending a terminator back. Even going back in time and causing one speck of dust to fall in a different direction could alter the outcomes in infinite directions.
"His dad was a robot, his mom was human." 😂🤣😂You have quite the imagination. I hope you write.
Get excited! While The Terminator is an amazing movie, Terminator 2: Judgment Day is considered one of the greatest movies ever made.
One of the greatest sequels ever made. But I still prefer this one (the terminator) to T2
I always found the scene of the Terminator, half blown apart, crawling over Sarah’s protector/lover’s dead body to get to to her an eery and intense moment in the film.
Anyway, love your reactions to these films. Keep it up!
That scene was creepy, but the part where the Terminator was checking on his wounds and pulling his eye out almost made me throw up. That scene grossed me out.
Go watch 'Sleepy Hollow' with Johnny Depp, the best American traditional horror story.
I'm so happy that you finally watched the movie that influenced my profile picture
Can’t wait to see you watch the second movie next time.
"I've seen him kill another sarah." - Nope. 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
Hi, if you plan on seeing T2, make sure it's the Special Edition. It contains extended scenes and gives more context to the film. It's by far the superior version. Keep up the good work! 😋👍
The robot body of the terminator was a practical effect that weighed a couple hundred pounds! They needed multiple people to move it during scenes.
Terminator one and two are amazing. The only other movie that could be considered the best sequel of all time in my humble opinion is aliens the sequel to alien. Aliens also directed by James Cameron.
Wow! I've just put this in a reply to someone's comment. Great minds think alike
Ya. Agreed if we exclude Star Wars and LoTR trilogies as they were made basically as one continuous story... I would also throw the Godfather in that mix tho
@@glenmcdonald375 yes! Great films, Godfather pt2 was amazing
"I'll be back" started here and then it became Arnold's catchphrase and he used in in many films.
T1 is great, T2 is better. After that they're mostly so-so. The TV show was alright, though.
Reese is played by the same actor who played Johnny Ringo in Tombstone.
The Witch is set before those events, though it was a film made way after Sleepy Hollow.
I believe this is the first time he says 'I'll be back'. It was such an iconic line, they wrote it into many of his later films.
the age-6 version would be, he sits on the bench wating for sarah, then they greet each other friendly.
