It's a mistake on the Terminator's part, draws too much attention to himself. Terminator could have snapped his neck(quieter) and tossed the body in the back of the shop.
No, the big gag is that he's saying it as if he has no idea what in the world the machine is even talking about - which he would not?.. That is: the audience' understanding that the machine is from the future and that it has an imperfect knowledge of the details of the past, [our present], that it will have to fill in, on the run, is being added to. Having arrived in its Past, [our Present], we see the that the machine is now mistakenly demanding that the store owner supply it a weapon that does not yet even exist, from our Present perspective - and won't exist, for decades.
The gun shop owner had no idea what Terminator was talking about. This was an example of great screenwriting in the form of perfectly concise dialogue.
I always liked to think the weapon did exist but as a classified weapon made by Cyberdyne. T800 was just going off its records. Such a great scene and great movie.

I don't need to pretend. At this point, I am accepting that both T1 and T2 are the only ones in the franchise. It's not the nostalgia or rose tinted glasses thing. It's all about attention to details and what they offer. T3 was recycled from T2 and cash in. Salvation had a good concept, but at the same time felt there was something going on during production. Genysis... I don't know where to begin but there were all sorts of wrong going on. Dark Fate is a fanmade T2 reboot mess. Linda's great performance is not enough to save it nor James Cameron's name alone or even the R rating to which the filmmakers greatly misunderstood the use of. You can't just throw in swears and violence and call it a day. What worked in T1 and T2 had helped the rating, whereas Dark Fate did not. Plus, the beginning of the movie flushed everything down the toilet the second the Terminator kills John Connor. All those words Kyle Reese said to Sarah about her son in the future is all for naught.
That’s one thing I do love about this movie more than 2 is everyone else. They are all just living their lives and it just hammers home how fucked up the whole thing is that they all would be dead had the terminator won this fight.

@@kyiaao I'm not a gun expert at all, but I think law doesn't allow people to remove the stock on shotguns. I don't know why though. Seems to be a silly law.
@Auggie not small. Very not small. It wasn’t large for a shotgun, but as guns go, shotguns are legally required to be MASSIVE. Barrel length of no less than 18 inches, and in this case, with a butt stock. Very NOT small.
One thing that always confused me is that in the terminator resistance game , it says that skynet was the one who originally invented the plasma rifles why would the T800 ask the gun store owner for them ?
To think, they originally didn't want to give Arnie acting jobs because of his accent. His accent in this movie made him so much cooler and more robotic.
Actually he won an award for acting before Terminator. 'Stay Hungry' with Jeff Bridges was the movie. After Hercules he took acting classes and totally improved.
Not just that but he wasn't good with speaking English when he started his acting career (hence why he has so little lines in this movie). Only after this movie did he start picking up the language.
That's not really true, Arnold didn't want to play terminator because he was basically the villain in this movie, he feared people will start to be scared of him and hate him in real life, he wanted to play kyle reese - the hero, then after a dinner he spent with the film crew he talked mostly about the terminator character and they convinced him to play it and James Cameron assured him that he'll make the character appear as the hero later on the movie/franchise
Actually they do. DEW. Direct energy weapon. The government uses them for covert ops on their own people. Destroy targets start fires and pretend that they are natural and that “climate change” is making it worse.
@@whitesimurgh6363 He also has to ask that gun shop owner to show him the guns he needs. I mean, weapons is THE one field he should know better than anybody. Oh and he apparently knows the types of weapons of the 1990s but then forgets it's the past and proceeds to ask for plasma rifles ...
@@M0butu Well, in this case: a) He apparently does know every weapon in this shop. He can name all of them AND the shop owner remarks that he apparently knows his stuff because he made excellent choices. So, I'd say he DOES have detailed files regarding weapons of this era. b) Regardless of that, a plasma rifle is an item from the future that was most likely invented by Skynet itself, so it's ridiculous to ask for it in the 1990s. This line was probably added to remind of the fact he is from the future and to give us a detail about that future (we now know they have plasma weapons), but it's still odd.
The big fella in the overalls shows us exactly why it is always smart to walk away from unnecessary conflict. Best decision he ever made, and he didn't even know it!!
i realy like how well the gunshop owner plays his role: on one hands he seems kinda happy that he's going to make a big sale but on the other he's obviousely see that a suspect as hell looking dude is buying a war arsenal to do god knows what.
@@imjashingyou3461 He would have been threatened by the Terminator if not given what was wanted and probably still killed with a weapon or physically killed.
Lance Hendrickson and O.J. Simpson were considered for the role with Arnold originally slated to play Reese. O.J. didn't get the part because he is way too likeable to convincingly play a killer
I like how the Terminator physically used his finger to scroll down the phonebook numbers, instead of just using his retinal scanner. Truly blending in as a human being
Yes, the first generation of terminators was easy to spot and then kill, because of how different from humans they looked. This generation is terrifying because it's so much harder to spot them.
@@youuuuuuuuuuutube which is kinda useless because of the large frame the T 800 stick out like a sore thumb in the future where everyone is malnourished/scrawny because of lack of access to food. The T-X and T 1000 make more sense because they can disguise as anyone
Well, he doesn't know for certain if she's there. He can't go kicking down doors only to find she isn't around. He'd have to kill her anyway then, and Terminators are ruthless, not cruel.
If I recall, Arnold practiced using and handling these weapons every day. Loading and unloading, reloading, aiming,etc for hours on end because he wanted The Terminator to be able to handle it like a machine programmed to kill would. Mix this with his Austrian millitary training meant that he easily handles incredibly large guns in incredibly smooth ways. Seriously, it's all impressive
@@fitnesspoint2006 I lol'd I appreciate people who take their work seriously and apply their previous trades into something else, especially when they don't typically mesh well. Meanwhile nobodies like you can only insult people. I don't think practicing with firearms *12-14 hours* a day is straightforward or simple, otherwise everyone would be professional marksmen. In other words, get fucked
I'll be honest I always thought he said, "Hey just watch your seat pal." Kinda jabbing at the terminator knowing it was an outrageous and nonexistent weapon request.
the golden age of Hollywood, from Russia with love) here in Russia they really love American cinema, especially films with evil Russians, it looks very funny🤣
He was smarter than the biker in the second terminator. Of course in this movie the terminator just wanted to look at the phone book not take all his shit …
It's funny, I've worked in a gunshop for years. Dealing with strange people daily in a retail environment, even more so when dealing in firearms, certainly hones one's sense of humor, as well as cynicism. I probably would have responded in a similar manner if a customer asked for a "phased plasma rifle". You can clearly see the gunshop owner's nervousness when he asks "...so which will it be?" He knows that something is off about this customer, and the "maybe i'll close early today" is such a realistic sarcastic comment a gun store clerk would make. A couple comments- the UZI is clearly an IMI Model A- these were imported as closed bolt semi automatic conversions of the UZI open bolt sub machine guns. They were imported in the early 80s by Action Arms as rifles with goofy 16 inch barrels. The fact that the UZI in this scene has an original 10 inch barrel makes it a Short Barreled Rifle, a class of weapons regulated the same as machine guns and silencers by the ATF. Some extra paperwork there, and quite a bit more than a 15 day wait. The "45 Longslide" is an AMT Hardballer 1911 with a mocked up laser sight- they didn't exist at the time, and the film armorers had to rig up a device that would project a visible laser during the scenes the gun was used in.
Thanks for that facts, i like guns, but i am no expert :) I expected this kind of movie to have some goof-offs, but it is probably nothing compared to video games like Black Ops Cold War, with ton of innacuraccies.
@@Dr_OzoneTV well, a five minute call to someone like me who actually works in the industry they are depicting would make the level of accuracy much higher. Lol. Not that I'm expecting accuracy from fiction, it's more that they can very easily make it more accurate with minimum effort, they just don't.
Imagine if he told the terminator there was a seven day waiting period, and it just went and stood outside of the gun shop for a week. That would be awkward.
@@roylim9052 Except Robert Patrick with his T-1000 deathstare. He was the closest thing scary to Arnold T800, if not Robert was more scarier that he was supposed to be a prototype. Everyone else is just a carbon copy trying to imitate these two guys act.
Love subtle acting from Michael walking down the street. Makes him look uncomfortable while trying to blend in as hes never seen so many people just walking about living their lives.
I can’t imagine what that would be like. You’re born into a war torn hellscape, all you know is fighting and surviving. Then suddenly you’re walking around in a time you’ve only heard vaguely about.
Michael Biehn was actually a very talented actor, very underrated considering he starred in two of some of the greatest science fiction/action films ever, this and Aliens (1986). A large part of it is Cameron's direction as well and their chemistry together.
The soundtrack of this movie needs to be appreciated more. The subtle synthesizer with the deep sounding drums when the T-800 is on the screen makes this feel like a horror. The T-800 with its dark and eerie presence creates such a sense of dread whenever it’s on the screen in comparison to Kyle Reese’s more optimistic soundtrack.
It's so weird how this worked out well. His build and his physiognomy. All perfect Credit to Arnold for believing in himself as the best option for this role
Arnie originally auditioned for the role of Kyle Reese, but James Cameron wanted him to play the role of the Terminator, to which Arnie originally rejected due to how little he talks in the movie.
And to think that Arnie was mortified that his agent even signed him up for this movie due to how little speaking it required. Turned out to be his most iconic role
0:11 so the ar that Arnold is inspecting is an ArmaLite AR180, a semi-automatic assault rifle that’s only been made for self/home defense that the clerk has mentioned. But later on during the police station shootout, it’s full auto, and how did this happen? In the novel, it’s been said that the terminator had stolen some tools from a hardware store, which was never filmed, and used those tools to covert the civilian semi-automatic rifle into a full auto rifle. Now converting a weapon like that in California during the time was very illegal, and also illegal to own and sell a fully automatic weapon. The more you know :)
@ I know the year it takes place, but I’m saying that in California during the time, it was illegal to own full auto machine guns. Some gun stores might have had em back then, if you’re lucky to find it, and a few others may not have em, as it’s only just the civilian semi-automatic. And at the time of 84, Gun laws weren’t as strict as they are today, and after ‘86, that’s when they banned the use to own and operate a full automatic machine gun.
You'd have thought a gun store owner would've realised it might be a bad idea to keep boxes of ammunition on the counter where anyone can do just what the Terminator did here
@@melijahcopeland4101 Your not alone, I much prefer T1 to T2. That's not to say T2 wasn't great as it was. The main thing I didn't like in T2 was Eddie Furlong. After T2 all the following films went down hill. The only good thing I liked after T2 was the Sarah Connor Chronicles TV series.
I love how he has a built in scanner to show him peoples exact heights/body types, and all kinds of info, yet he still needs to use his finger in the phone book like the rest of us haha.
Shelia Ellison What about holding the Uzi vertical at Tech Noir? That’s a gun safety behavior. Terminators don’t need to observe safety precautions. But I guess it looks cool.
Went to see it firsthand in the theatre with my cousin, it was unreal!! We were huge Arnold fans! It was sooo awesome to see back in the day. He also did an awesome job in the two Conan movies (The Barbarian & The Destroyer) as well.
I was blown away by this movie as a young kid in the 80's. I would draw a wound on my arm and reenact the the scene when the terminator repairs himself.
It’s crazy how Reese must be feeling. He’s back in the pre judgment day world.. doesn’t get caught up in the nostalgia, he just goes straight into his mission.
This film is GOLD. The Terminator was scaring me as hell when I was a kid, especially its endoskeleton. After I watched the film I had nightmares where this thing chased me in narrow and dark corridors.
Lol I remember watching the TV series in the late 2000s...there was a scene where a school principal tells Cromartie (an infiltrator T 888 sent back to kill John) look me in the eyes and tell me you never smoked any pot when you were young. The terminator does as told of course lol
yea, really what makes the movie. terminator could easily have just killed the clerk on entry and grab the guns he wanted. even if you consider the infiltration aspect hed have time to kill sarah before police can mount any serious offensive. but letting t800 be arnold instead of unmasked jason makes the movie more. though i also love how at the end he doesnt say anything and is just trying to eliminate the couple
@@djp6191 you’re not wrong but Salvation is like... the 3rd or 4th best in the franchise. I still choose to believe the franchise ends with 2. Multiverse theory baby!
"Thats a good gun" idk why but i find it so funny how emotionless and unfeeling the terminator is and how enthusiastic the gun shop owner is to sell him these weapons
If you examine it all closely he is not completely how a cyborg would act, a cyborg wouldn’t be smart ass and say “wrong” before shooting a man for instance. But it makes the movie more entertaining.
@@moshinrafsanjani7379 fair enough, the scene where Arnie gets smart with the maintenance guy and selects from a system of answers and choosing Fuck You references this, but that is for him to diffuse the situation and get an interloper to back off so he can focus on his mission. Him making a wise crack before shooting the clerk feels almost too human to me like he is finding personal amusement in it which contradicts Reese saying it feels no emotion. It will be interesting to see how real AI will react in conversation the day it achieves sentience.
@@mikeg2491 Probably human. They are taught by humans and gather information based on our input though it won't always get when it right or acceptable to say something in a specific situation.
There’s a theory on reddit that says the T-800 asks this to assess the maximum threat regarding the weapons he’d face in 1984, because he doesn’t know if it exists yet since Skynet’s files are incomplete (hence why he goes after other Sarah Conners).
Arnie reflexively closes his eyes when shooting the pistol at 2:46. That's a very human thing to do. In T2 I don't think we never saw him do that, so he clearly improved.
I'm assuming it's programmed intentionally to try and stop dust particles from getting in his retinal scanner and causing permanent damage, the t-1000 doesn't need to have it programmed because it can repair itself
@@commandercleo9035 ...damn you're right, I always hate the fact of having T-800s wandering on my wasteland of a lawn in the future and always asking for a Sarah Connor.
1:18 something I love in this scene is Kyle has a KGB walk. He keeps his hand near his fire arm completely steady ready to draw in a instant whilst his other moves more freely This really goes to show just how paranoid and ready to fight he is at all times
Arnold asks for a Phased Plasma Rifle in 40-Watt Range; it would be funny if the gun store owner pulled one out from under the counter, "This just came in today. Fresh from the factory."
It was actually, "...four D. Watt range." The Watt brothers - David, Daniel, Duncan, and Darby - designed, manufactured, and sold laser rifles. Their famous slogan, and business practices, set them apart from other laser rifle manufacturers: "Yes, we'll even terminate high prices for cyborgs." It was code for they will sell to robots. They had a wide range of rifles to sell.
2:16 This dog should of gotten a reward biased the way he or she react especially in the future in this movie when they (Dogs) trained and used to spot Terminators right off the bat, be able to tell which one is a human and which is not telling the difference between two.
😂yo i thought it was just me😂 shits fucking hilarious. Its almost like damn how you just gonna blow the guy away like that lol. Shit went from -0 to 100
Every gun store I've been in they have the ammo in a separate area than the guns being sold. The ranges around me are two stories with the guns usually on the second with ammo on the 1st.
Even as a kid I thought the same thing. It's his own dumb fault lol. Like someone else said though, he probably could have just punched a fist through his head anyway.
@techminds Its an opinion I felt like I could connect with the hero more (kyle) because he was human like us and I felt like prime Arnold fit more as an evil unstoppable terminator they had a t-800 protecting them and made the terminator more human like in number 2 the first was more like a horror and number 2 was an action movie my favourite terminator moment in the entire franchise is this m.ua-cam.com/video/vtloZNaoV-0/v-deo.html
Interestingly, the German dubbed version has an additional line here that always makes me laugh. When the Terminator finds his phone book entries, the guy can be heard shouting from a distance: "Hey, look up 'Asshole' in the phone book, you'll surely find your number there!"
I absolutely love how he simply says “wrong” before wasting him.
"Negative" would be much better, that's why they fixed it for the second movie.

That's not really true, Arnold didn't want to play terminator because he was basically the villain in this movie, he feared people will start to be scared of him and hate him in real life, he wanted to play kyle reese - the hero, then after a dinner he spent with the film crew he talked mostly about the terminator character and they convinced him to play it and James Cameron assured him that he'll make the character appear as the hero later on the movie/franchise

@@M0butu Well, in this case:
a) He apparently does know every weapon in this shop. He can name all of them AND the shop owner remarks that he apparently knows his stuff because he made excellent choices. So, I'd say he DOES have detailed files regarding weapons of this era.
b) Regardless of that, a plasma rifle is an item from the future that was most likely invented by Skynet itself, so it's ridiculous to ask for it in the 1990s.
This line was probably added to remind of the fact he is from the future and to give us a detail about that future (we now know they have plasma weapons), but it's still odd.

If I recall, Arnold practiced using and handling these weapons every day. Loading and unloading, reloading, aiming,etc for hours on end because he wanted The Terminator to be able to handle it like a machine programmed to kill would.

Damn that's a long life
He was in practically EVERYTHING in the 80s and 90s. Aside from Terminator, I always think of him as the police guard from Star Trek: DS9
So the guy survived the shot and lived that long? Kudos
@@norbath1650 Terminator Genesis changed a lot of things, you know
Wow. I thought he died a long time ago.
It's funny, I've worked in a gunshop for years. Dealing with strange people daily in a retail environment, even more so when dealing in firearms, certainly hones one's sense of humor, as well as cynicism. I probably would have responded in a similar manner if a customer asked for a "phased plasma rifle". You can clearly see the gunshop owner's nervousness when he asks "...so which will it be?" He knows that something is off about this customer, and the "maybe i'll close early today" is such a realistic sarcastic comment a gun store clerk would make. A couple comments- the UZI is clearly an IMI Model A- these were imported as closed bolt semi automatic conversions of the UZI open bolt sub machine guns. They were imported in the early 80s by Action Arms as rifles with goofy 16 inch barrels. The fact that the UZI in this scene has an original 10 inch barrel makes it a Short Barreled Rifle, a class of weapons regulated the same as machine guns and silencers by the ATF. Some extra paperwork there, and quite a bit more than a 15 day wait. The "45 Longslide" is an AMT Hardballer 1911 with a mocked up laser sight- they didn't exist at the time, and the film armorers had to rig up a device that would project a visible laser during the scenes the gun was used in.
Thanks for that facts, i like guns, but i am no expert :) I expected this kind of movie to have some goof-offs, but it is probably nothing compared to video games like Black Ops Cold War, with ton of innacuraccies.

Love subtle acting from Michael walking down the street. Makes him look uncomfortable while trying to blend in as hes never seen so many people just walking about living their lives.
Agreed. Well spotted.
I can’t imagine what that would be like. You’re born into a war torn hellscape, all you know is fighting and surviving. Then suddenly you’re walking around in a time you’ve only heard vaguely about.
Michael Biehn was actually a very talented actor, very underrated considering he starred in two of some of the greatest science fiction/action films ever, this and Aliens (1986). A large part of it is Cameron's direction as well and their chemistry together.
@@gregtestagent I see where Dragon Ball Z got their inspiration from Trunks
The soundtrack of this movie needs to be appreciated more. The subtle synthesizer with the deep sounding drums when the T-800 is on the screen makes this feel like a horror. The T-800 with its dark and eerie presence creates such a sense of dread whenever it’s on the screen in comparison to Kyle Reese’s more optimistic soundtrack.
1:57 I love how the toy truck is the same model truck (International Transtar) that he drives towards the end. Attention to detail is incredible.
Also looks similar to the truck the T-1000 drives in the canal scene in T2, even if it’s not the same.

Arnie as Terminator is probably the most perfectly cast role ever made in cinema.
And one of the best character redemption arcs too.
It's so weird how this worked out well.
His build and his physiognomy. All perfect
Credit to Arnold for believing in himself as the best option for this role
@@13thvarebel16 well he's technically a whole different robot in T2 just the same exterior model so not a redemption arc.
Arnie originally auditioned for the role of Kyle Reese, but James Cameron wanted him to play the role of the Terminator, to which Arnie originally rejected due to how little he talks in the movie.
Agreed Dead ball
And to think that Arnie was mortified that his agent even signed him up for this movie due to how little speaking it required. Turned out to be his most iconic role
pretty sure terminator 2 is the movie with the record of highest ammount payed per word. i think its summin like arnold got 25k per word
He thought it would end him
Once arnold got on board with this movie, he really put his all into it. He came up with the herky jerky robot movements when he was targeting people
Lesson here is to take every opportunity life throws at you. You never know.
That agent knew what they were doing 🙂
0:11 so the ar that Arnold is inspecting is an ArmaLite AR180, a semi-automatic assault rifle that’s only been made for self/home defense that the clerk has mentioned. But later on during the police station shootout, it’s full auto, and how did this happen? In the novel, it’s been said that the terminator had stolen some tools from a hardware store, which was never filmed, and used those tools to covert the civilian semi-automatic rifle into a full auto rifle. Now converting a weapon like that in California during the time was very illegal, and also illegal to own and sell a fully automatic weapon. The more you know :)
Actually automatics were completely legal until 1986. This movie takes place in 1983-1984
@ I know the year it takes place, but I’m saying that in California during the time, it was illegal to own full auto machine guns. Some gun stores might have had em back then, if you’re lucky to find it, and a few others may not have em, as it’s only just the civilian semi-automatic. And at the time of 84, Gun laws weren’t as strict as they are today, and after ‘86, that’s when they banned the use to own and operate a full automatic machine gun.

Straight up reminds me of getting into arguments with teachers as a kid.
That´s exactly the dialogue between me and my boss when I go home an hour early.....
Idk why, but it’s oddly satisfying watching The Terminator examining the weapons at the gun shop
Arnie reflexively closes his eyes when shooting the pistol at 2:46. That's a very human thing to do. In T2 I don't think we never saw him do that, so he clearly improved.
Unless the robot's developers built in a simulated reflex into the T100 to make it appear more human?
I'm assuming it's programmed intentionally to try and stop dust particles from getting in his retinal scanner and causing permanent damage, the t-1000 doesn't need to have it programmed because it can repair itself
That’s probably one of the reasons why he wears sunglasses in the movies.
That, and Cameron couldn't afford to do take after take until he did it without blinking.
It's human flesh and blood.

Honestly, one of my favorite 80s character actors.
I forgot bout gremlins too how he died was funny
Tough being a small business owner
He didn't die in Gremlins.
In an alternate timeline:
Arnold:Phased plasma rifle in a 40 watt range
Shopkeeper:These are new they just came in,good for home defense
arnold: shotgun
shopkeeper: HEY just what you see buddy
The real question is, who uses phased plasma rifles in 40 watt ranges for home defense?
To protect against home invaders,robbers,and terminators of course
@@commandercleo9035 ...damn you're right, I always hate the fact of having T-800s wandering on my wasteland of a lawn in the future and always asking for a Sarah Connor.
Wrong.
1:18 something I love in this scene is Kyle has a KGB walk.
He keeps his hand near his fire arm completely steady ready to draw in a instant whilst his other moves more freely
This really goes to show just how paranoid and ready to fight he is at all times
"Hey man, you got a serious attitude problem."
For getting thrown away in the middle of a conversation that dude took it in stride....
like you would argue with a heavy built punker that looks stoned?
In the German dub he says "Hey dude, why don't you look up 'asshole' in that phone-book? I'm sure you'll find your number there."
@@1SaG Really?
Which is funny considering how the guy seemed to be a bit of a jerk to his girlfriend he was talking to on the phone.
If someone who looked like Arnold threw me out of the way, I would just quietly walk away.
Arnold asks for a Phased Plasma Rifle in 40-Watt Range; it would be funny if the gun store owner pulled one out from under the counter, "This just came in today. Fresh from the factory."
Westinghouse just came out with this thing. It's revolutionary. Plasma gas jacketed rounds. Incinerate your enemy like it's 1997 all over again.
Lol
Arnold: "Excellent!"
😂😂😂
It was actually, "...four D. Watt range." The Watt brothers - David, Daniel, Duncan, and Darby - designed, manufactured, and sold laser rifles. Their famous slogan, and business practices, set them apart from other laser rifle manufacturers: "Yes, we'll even terminate high prices for cyborgs." It was code for they will sell to robots. They had a wide range of rifles to sell.
Imagine the carnage count if Sarah’s last name was Smith …
Or johnson.
Or Jones
McLovin?
Or MacDonald.
Or Lee. Sarah Lee. And would’ve had him going to every part of L.A. Except for East L.A. maybe … 😆
2:16 This dog should of gotten a reward biased the way he or she react especially in the future in this movie when they (Dogs) trained and used to spot Terminators right off the bat, be able to tell which one is a human and which is not telling the difference between two.
Arnie's original T-800 is by far the scariest terminator we see in the whole franchise.
The T-1000 trumps him by far
I love Arnie in the original movie but Robert Patrick absolutely freaked me out as a kid.
I'd say T-1000 was scarier but to be honest I watched first T2 and then T1, so I had the T-800 as the original hero
I find Arnie way scarier than Robert Patrick. Patrick is a shrimp and tries too hard at the intense stare.
It is much more ominous , uncaring, unfeeling, like a tidal wave coming; nothing you can do but run

“There’s a fifteen day wait on the hand guns.”
Terminator- “Fifteen days. But I wanna kill Sarah Connor now!”
@@alphathorsten5045 Wow, that's funnierererer.
Almost 40 years later and we still don’t have the phased plasma rifle in a 40 watt range 😑
Hey, just what you see, pal.
They're assault weapons so technically they are banned, thanks to the democrats.
(My comment is a joke btw)
Ah soon
Speak for yourself, buddy!
A team at MIT made a plasma projectile some years back, so just wait a bit.
One of my favorite movies, freaking masterpiece!
0:59 the way he says "Wrong" is so funny with a shotgun blast gets me everytime 😊
Me too 😆😆😆😆😆
@jayhughes3843Shhhh
😂yo i thought it was just me😂 shits fucking hilarious. Its almost like damn how you just gonna blow the guy away like that lol. Shit went from -0 to 100
same fr 🤣

The guy left live ammo on top of the front counter within reach of customers. He asked for it.
He could have been showing him the ammo
Every gun store I've been in they have the ammo in a separate area than the guns being sold. The ranges around me are two stories with the guns usually on the second with ammo on the 1st.
Even as a kid I thought the same thing. It's his own dumb fault lol. Like someone else said though, he probably could have just punched a fist through his head anyway.
Joey J relax its a movie bro
That's a great special effect
The second film is great but the first one is an absolute masterpiece.
Agree I like the darker tone in this film better
Sequels rarely better the original.
@techminds Its an opinion I felt like I could connect with the hero more (kyle) because he was human like us and I felt like prime Arnold fit more as an evil unstoppable terminator they had a t-800 protecting them and made the terminator more human like in number 2 the first was more like a horror and number 2 was an action movie my favourite terminator moment in the entire franchise is this m.ua-cam.com/video/vtloZNaoV-0/v-deo.html
Finally! Thank you my friend for realizing this
2 was better.
"Just what you see here, pal." is one of the greatest movie lines.
'Phased plasma rifle in a 40-watt range?'
'They're on back-order pal, should be in next week'
how about a water gun with 5 foot range?

How about no.

Then when he's told no, he settles for an uzi 9mm?

😂😂😂😂
Supah soakah backpack, please
The fact that the clerk has such a non reaction to the terminators bizarre request is what makes it so funny lol
Shop owner: "Any one of these is ideal for home defense"
Terminator: "Yes. Home defense..."
Wrong
Offense
In a way this is his way of defending his home
Ah yes. Uzi's were always known for their home defense.
He is defending his home Skynet
@@OrbitOnceAround Ha ha true.
The gun store owner was right about one thing ... he did close early that day.
“Man... you gotta a serious attitude problem.”
Walk away, dude. Just walk away.
Lol
XD
Interestingly, the German dubbed version has an additional line here that always makes me laugh. When the Terminator finds his phone book entries, the guy can be heard shouting from a distance: "Hey, look up 'Asshole' in the phone book, you'll surely find your number there!"
@@englischaufdenglisch2601 i would love to hear that in English XD
