Literally my favourite movie of all time. James Cameron is a great writer/director and the visual effects are still amazing to this day. The action scenes are still intense and well directed. Only the first 2 exist in my opinion, the others are fun but they are beating a dead horse now.
Same here. Rented this when I was twelve because I was too young to see it in the cinema. I was shaking with anticipation as I put the VHS cassette in the player on a pitch black December Friday evening. It became my favourite film and nothing has ever topped it, and never will.
I remember watching this when I was 9 in 85. Also watching Rambo at a similar time and then Commando, Running Man and Predator when they were released. Nobody in my village shop had any problems giving 18 rated videos to children back then. Such a different time. There’s be a bunch of us in a friends house in the summer holidays watching these films. Some of us older, some younger. The 80’s!
The thing that strikes me the most is how the vision of the director is being acted by the actors and how he knows how it will look for the audience. When i look at how they shot the scenes looks like nothing much but on screen it comes out brillantly.
Always surprising how much effort and illusion went into such a small scene like crashing the windshield. I love how the terminator (the stuntman) rolls off the car when it hits the police car.
It is a subtitled version for the Japanese Market. Terminator 1and 2 are very well loved here in Japan! Saw Arnold in a picture for a Supermarket Opening here in Tokyo! Awesome Video! It was the time before *CARLS DRAPERIES* LOL!
Primer comentario en castellano. Esto es alucinante. Como fan de Terminator, debo decir, que nunca habia visto este making off. Con las escenas mas historicas. Es una joya, en un barco abandonado. Saludos, desde Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Veo estos minutos tras las cámaras y me doy cuenta de que la gente que trabajó en esta película lo hacía por algo más que el dinero, tenían la ilusión de crear algo realmente auténtico. Juntó todo lo necesario en aquel momento, talento y artistas de verdad con ganas de hacer bien las cosas junto a un estilo de hacer cine que se ha perdido ya. Eso la convierte en una joya más valiosa hoy en día que entonces si cabe. Desde pequeño siempre una de mis favoritas de todos los tiempos.
As a very young kid growing up in the 80s, after watching this SCI-FI MASTERPIECE on Video VHS (A brilliant n must have household gadget back then..) I believed that there were People out there that were TERMINATOR CYBORGS disguised in Human form...Especially Cops. But that wasnt until 7 years later (1991)...The T-1000, the Liquidnator cyborg awesomely Played by Robert Patrick...I knew then, I wasn't WRONG. 🔥🔥😎🔥🔥
@@duprez2 I watched it like that once. Never again. They put it back in theaters a few years ago, but I didn't bother, since I knew what I'd be hearing.
I saw this as a kid in Miami back in 84 or 85 on TV. The whole windshield breaking scene and Cameron's comments about fake breakaway glass was imprinted on me so much at an early age that ever since then I always paid attention in movies to whether real or fake glass was obviously used in a scene (mostly with cars). Funny enough I didn't actually see Terminator until a few years later, when I was about 11 and we finally had a VCR.
@@livingbeing1113 The cinematography in T2 is far superior, Im sorry. Yes the original does feel darker, but T2 has its moments too. T2 still feels like its connected to the original. None of the sequels post T2 accomplished that. As for the acting, are you kidding? The acting in T2 is Oscar worthy, and is absolutely superior in every way to the acting in the original. T2 is the better film in terms of acting, cinematography, action, story and characterisation.
This behind the scenes work is beautiful art and amazing to witness. Today, all this is replaced by hollow, soulless CGI. Just a bunch of people sitting on their asses behind a computer. And none of these awesome special effects people here would have any work anymore. And yet the CGI today STILL looks worse than many classic pre-CGI effects and probably will forever. The Terminator in Genisys looked so silly and cartoony. Not scary at all, unlike in this movie, where it looked truly intimidating. This is why I don't watch modern movies.
6.4 million to make// box office 78.3/ next terminator 103 million to make// box520.9 million. that's amazing. 7 years in time between them. that's Hollywood.
This making of video was probably used to sell the film to theater chains. They'd add subtitles in different languages to whatever non-English speaking territory needed it unless they bothered to overdub. I've never seen this mini-doc before but they released a program similar to this on a bonus disc that was exclusive to the original Indiana Jones DVD boxset sold through Best Buy. I still have that disc. Remember, in 1984, the year the original Terminator movie was released, James Cameron was NOT a big name director (Terminator was maybe his second or third director's credit) and NONE of the actors in the film were people that would sell a huge film overseas. There were a lot of character actors (Paul Winfield, Lance Henriksen, Dick Miller, Earl Boen) in the original Terminator movie that continued to have long-lasting, viable careers after this movie so there were people besides Cameron, Schwarzenegger, and Hamilton who benefited from their association with this film. Not even Arnold Schwarzenegger was that big despite appearing in Conan the Barbarian 2 years earlier. He also had at least three B-level or better movies in the 1970s -- Hercules Comes to New York, Pumping Iron, and The Villain. Conan I'd argue moreso than Pumping Iron laid out the case for him as an action star and The Terminator solidified that argument even though he was a villain in The Terminator. This mini-doc lays out the basics of The Terminator and presents an argument to exhibit it through a theatrical chain. In hindsight, only a fool would have passed on exhibiting this film but that's our perspective 37 years later! I don't know if they do mini-docs like this all that much anymore -- they used to be included as extras on DVDs -- but they were still having exhibitions and sneak peaks of films prior to COVID. I'm nearly 100% positive some of these "production diary" mini-docs were still being shown on occasion on HBO in the 1990s.
I prefer T2 because it goes far more in depth with the characters. That's something that was lost in making the first film "tighter". There were character moments that shouldn't have been removed in my opinion. Traxler giving Reese his sidearm was a great moment and, what, 30 seconds? Too damn long! Same for Reese pulling his gun on Sarah when she tried escaping, and his subsequent breakdown.
@@DamienDrake Interesting points. It is almost like comparing films from two different genres. One is a horror/thriller, the other an action epic. Similar to the Alien and Aliens argument (Aliens for me)
I prefer The Terminator over T2 because it was much darker, more raw, more primal. T2 was awesome, more sophisticated, but too optimistic. They started humanizing the Terminator, even the T-1000. The blending of man and machine was more the theme than man vs machine. It was a great closer to the story though. They shouldn't have made another after the first two.

The 1st Terminator movie was definitely a horror movie compared to the rest
One of the best films ever.
I miss the old James Cameron, before he was tamed by Hollywood
Aging also plays a role in that, not just outside influence.
Terminator 1 and 2. Terminators looks so real and believable..
Part Man, Part Machine All Dangerous.
Part Sci-Fi, Part Horror All Masterpiece.

All good choices. The first Alien and RoboCop belong on that list too.

Just like the McTiernan Die Hard’s, the best Terminators are Jim’s.
Agreed
Many people said he wasn't very pleased filming this movie.
The joy and misery of being a renegade, low-budget film maker back in 1984, what I wouldn't give 🤔
Wow! That was awesome to see how they made that alley scene.
