Most people poke fun at it. But I have no problem because a machine covered in flesh would trip the uncanny valley. Kyle said the T-600 with rubber skin was easy to spot. But I feel even the T-800 would be somewhat unnatural up close.

The concept of artificial intelligence has been around in science fiction for a very long time, even before computers. Isaac Asimov was a very famous science fiction author and one of his books was I Robot. He wrote about robots and AI in 1950 before Cameron was even born. In fact, The Terminator was based off another science fiction author named Harlan Ellison. Ellison wrote the original 1957 short story called “Soldier from Tomorrow” which was adapted to be used in an episode of "The Outer Limits". He later won a lawsuit over the matter and Cameron was forced to add a nod to Ellison in the credits of the movie.
Not only before computers, but the idea of artificial beings goes back to ancient China and ancient Greece. The clay golems of Jewish legend can be said to be artificial beings as well. The word "robot" was coined in 1920 for a play called "Rossum's Universal Robots" or R.U.R., written by Czech playwright Karel Čapek. And of course there's the robot in Fritz Lang's 1927 silent film Metropolis.
What’s so sad is that when talking about the picture, Kyle Reese mentioned how sad Sarah looked. He always wondered what Sarah was thinking about. He had no idea that Sarah was thinking about him. 🙁
That's not true at all, both after all are just tools and really, it depends on the people doing the work on the effects, CGI or practical. In other words, too many people compare the best practical effects with some of the worst CGI effects lol. In truth, with the computing power we have today, CGI can beat practical effects in all areas if you've got the right team doing the effects, so much so, the best CGI effects are the ones you can't tell are CGI. Also, if you compare the best practical effects and best CGI effects, CGI wins out, so much so that it's actually hard to tell the difference from real life and CGI effects on some of the best ones, whereas with practical effects, even some of the best ones, you can always tell it's practical. Besides, let's be honest with ourselves, T2 was sold on the CGI effects, I remember because I lived thought that time and they made a right song and dance about how good the CGI was, today, they can do way better than that with the right team behind it.
@@paul1979uk2000 While I certainly wouldn't say that practical effects are "vastly superior" to CGI, I think that practical effects can be as good as or even better than CGI in some situations. "Static" objects such as planets and space ships can look fantastic when using practical effects. For instance, I consider the space scenes in "Alien" to be at the same level as well-made CGI, and that film premiered in 1979. Also, physical sets have been increasingly replaced with CGI, which I don't feel is a good development at all. Not only does a physical set often look much more convincing, actors often feel that they can interact better with a physical set. In my opinion, practical effects and CGI both have their strengths, and a film should use what best suits a particular scene. As for CGI now and then, "Jurrasic Park" premiered in 1993 and is still considered one of the best when it comes to the special effects. The film included groundbreaking CGI, but it mixed these with practical effects.
The "I'll be back" is what made that scene so funny. @@MOONPOPPERS There are a lot of 80s movie quotes that became catchphrases during that era. "I'll be back" is one of those phrases we all used. There are a few from T2 as well. There are several quotes from the movie Airplane (1980) that we all used. Airplane! is a movie well worth watching if you want to laugh your ass off. But pay attention, it is rapid-fire jokes. You have to watch it a few times to catch them all.
The practical effects weren't the best even for the time but this was a low-budget B movie that became a blockbuster surprising even the creators. Perfectly demonstrates how a brilliant idea can outshine everything. So much better than today's mass-produced superhero movies with endless CGI.
My favourite part 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. They found themselves across time.
Seriously considered A.I. (vs. mythology) in the computer age goes all the way back to a paper called "Computing Machinery and Intelligence" published in 1950 by mathematician and computer scientist Alan Turing. The paper proposed a test, now called the Turing Test, to determine a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behavior. If you've seen the movie "The Imitation Game," Benedict Cumberbatch plays a character named Alan Turing. Yes, it's that same guy.
It's like you can't like one thing without shitting on another with some people. For me, both are masterpieces for their own merits. But each to their own.
Yep. He made himself a household name with a string of blockbuster action flicks. And unlike many actors who felt they had to change their cultural names to make it in Hollywood because they were too long or hard to pronounce, Arny kept his, and by the mid 80s, everyone knew that name.
I second your point.... BUT I would also add in the fact that they have never had to fight a 6 foot 2 inch 640-800 pound machine and so have absolutely NO idea how to actually hurt it with the weapons available to them lol
This was James Cameron's first blockbuster, although it had a modest budget (I bet he wasn't satisfied with the Terminator head prop that looked fake but they only had so much money) since he wasn't well known at the time. This really launched his career and it established his name for top notch sci-fi movies.
Kyle Reese tells Sarah Connor that the robots AKA AI that they wouldn't exist for 40 years and that movie was made in 1984, well add 40 years to that year and you get 2024 which is this year and they have these things made and looking like people.
The scene where the Terminator takes his fake eye out was partly done using an animatronic upper torso puppet made to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger. When his face looks all robot-like that's the puppet. When he puts his shades on, that's really Arnold.
In fairness to the movie, the face special effect stands out a little bit more based on the technology we are using to watch the movie today. It was a little less fake looking watching it on VHS from what I remember.
he first artificial intelligence (AI) program was written in 1951 to teach a computer to play checkers, and by 1952, the computer could play at a reasonable speed. However, many consider the first AI program to be the Logic Theorist, which was presented at the 1956 Dartmouth Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence (DSRPAI). The Logic Theorist was designed to mimic human problem-solving skills and was funded by the Research and Development (RAND) Corporation.
I would like to have a moment of silence for my man, Matt. He put up a helluva fight. Way better than the three "tough" guys at the beginning of the movie.
Nice! Many of my all time favorites. To throw a few more on the pile: Die Hard (1988), Alien (1979), Aliens (1986), Speed (1994), Independence Day (1996) 80s and 90s action/suspense flicks rock!
I saw this movie when i was 8 years old. It was Awesome and now exactly 30 years later just a few days after my birthday it's still my favorite movie. I own 3 dvd copies and a vhs copy. I don't like Terminator 2 but most people do.
Long before being California governor, ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER was a famous bodybuilder and won the Mr. Olympia contest 7 times. Before Terminator he also did his movie CONAN THE BARBARIAN. As for the punks in the movie, the Terminator punched a hole in his stomach and lifted him off the ground. The second guy who arrived naked is KYLE REESE. He's trying to protect Sarah Connor and stop the Terminator from killing her.
If I know my trivia, the actor playing the police officer at 17:29 co-wrote the screenplay. He appears in the beginning of Terminator 2 as the guy with the camera rapidly taking pictures.
How can you not know who Arnold is? He has been Mr. Universe 5 times. Governor in California between 2003 and 2007. Mega movie star. Dang. You guys need to watch all the Arnold Schwarzenegger movies. Start with Predator:)
I took AI classes in the 80's and I realized how AI can be misled with wrong data and simple logic. In "Age of Ultron", Ultron wanted to have peace in our time, so to achieve peace, 1) wars must not exist; 2) humans cause wars; therefore if humans were destroyed, then there will be peace. Ultron will achieve peace by destroying all humans.
HAL 9000 was confused by conflicting orders. That didn't end well. In the terminator series, our fate was decided in a microsecond. Extermination. In the Matrix, humans were enslaved by AI for self preservation. In I,Robot AI decided it was best to enslave humans for their own good, based on its interpretation of the 3 laws. There is a pattern here. Doesn't look good.
I disagree with your assessment of the actions of the police at the police station. They thought it was a terrorist attack. How could they know that their weapons would be as effective as slingshots against a tank?
If KP never watched a Schwarzenegger movie, especially his earlier work, she wouldn't recognize his face. It's really hard when he was jacked from bodybuilding and the Conan movies.
@ 24:42 Honestly, it's not that the cops suck....it's just that you can't kill a Terminator with a modern gun ( an archaic weapon to someone living in the future.)
"Better" is relative. I too once thought it was better. But over the years and many dozens of rewatches, I find T1 to be on equal terms. The shock and awe in T1 has the advantage of being more unexpected. I tend to enjoy T1 reactions a little more than T2. Never the less, both movies rock. Everything after pales in comparison. Same goes for Alien and Aliens.
@@DocMicrowave it might be the case that you prefer horror to action as both T1 and Alien are considered horrors whereas T2 and Aliens are considered more action movies. I agree with you about the rest of the Terminator franchise, however I will say that Terminator Salvation is one of the better ones.
@@AHPal-ji6oj Fair to say, T1 and A1 lean more horror than action. But I look at them as building a good story around the action to come. Thus putting them on the fringes of the Action genre. T1 more so than A1. And to be honest, I never liked straight up horror flicks on the level of Jason or the Freddie franchises. Not my cup of tea. But when tied with a good story with science fiction elements, it catches my interest. The "horror" isn't there just to be horrific. And even then, my interest is very selective. For instance, I would not be into something like 'Event Horizon'. Not really a fan of 'Starship Troopers' either despite all the action. And A2, despite being more action oriented, did have a sufficient horror element in it. Not quite as much as A1, mainly because we had an idea what we were dealing with by the time it came out, but the horror is clearly there there. T2 was pretty much almost all action. The T1000 brought what little there was for any horror in the movie.
Watching the younger generation get blown away by my childhood movies.🥺 Yup, cemeron's genius. It was all in his head and he called it. AI was a concept back then, like you said, like flying cars.
The biggest deleted scene in this movie is the Lt telling Reese to keep her safe; Implying he believed him. The novel goes a little further, and the Lt can see Reese is too young to have served in Nam, but he had "the look" from veterans of a fucked up war. EDIT: Bonus easter egg; When Reese is shown in the future the second time, when the photo of Sarah burns, they would use that look for the original Metal Gear game on NES
I like the interrogation scene between Dr. Silberman and Reese. "Did you bring any ray guns?" I got another time travel movie reaction suggestion for you guys it's another one of my favorites, The Final Countdown (1980) The U.S.S. Nimitz goes back to December 6th, 1941. It's filmed on the Nimitz. It's like Top Gun meets Back to the Future.
There's a great movie from 1970 called "Colossus The Forbin Project" about a defence network computer that becomes self aware and joins up with its Russian counterpart to take over the world. Well worth watching.
I enjoyed your reaction! Before you watch Terminator 2, I recommend checking out a Trailer called "Terminator 2 Teaser Endoskeleton Factory". I have never seen anybody react to it yet, so it would be cool if you did, it just lasts 1 minute. I think this is a brilliant and unique trailer from back in the day, because it doesnt spoil the plot at all, like it is the often the case in modern movie trailers. This trailer doesnt even contain a single scene from the movie itself, yet it perfectly explains the setup for the 2nd movie and why there is a second Terminator. However stay away from other trailers, because they contain spoilers
My favorite bit is when he's in the apartment as the landlord asks about the odor coming from the room. The Terminator cycles through possible responses and comes up with "Fuck you, asshole", which is a nod to the scene where the T-800 (the exact model of The Terminator, also referred to in the movie by Reese as Cyberdyne Systems model 101) first arrived and encountered/slaughtered that gang of thugs led by Bill Paxton.
Now you not only have to watch the sequel, T2: Judgement Day, but you should definitely react to the original Conan the Barbarian with Arnold Schwarzenegger. If you loved this movie you’ll REALLY love T2.
I can tell instantly from your response to opening scene that you didn't know what you were getting into...you HAVE to watch T2 now if you haven't already...total game changer, best sequel of all time.
Was fun watching your reaction to this movie guys. Terminator 2 is next and then maybe try to watch all of Arnold's movies. His birthday is coming on the 30th of this month🎉
Karissa (KP) is the best ever. ALWAYS a pleasure to watch with her infectious laugh and consistent, spontaneous adorableness. LOVE. I cannot believe your total unfamiliarity with the plot of the iconic Terminator after all these years (and so many movies and TV shows). Can't wait til your WandaVision finale reaction
Except for the very first theatrical release of The Terminator. all subsequent releases, in the end credits. have a line crediting the work of Harlan Ellison. Ellison (died 2018) was an infamously irascible writer, of novels, short stories, and several television scripts. He wrote the original script for Star Trek's (Original Series) "City on the Edge of Forever" , which won that years World Science Fiction Hugo Award for best screenplay. Before Star Trek, Harlan had wrote a couple of time travel scripts for an earlier series, The Outer Limits. "Demon with a Glass Hand" was the one most directly influential on Cameron's first Terminator script. Copies of the Terminator script circulated around LA, and Harlan heard about the similarities. Harlan called up Cameron and (supposedly) politely asked for a simple credit of acknowledgment, and no money. James Cameron blew off Harlan Ellison. Big mistake... Harlan was as free in filing lawsuits as any Scientologist. The short of it, in an out-of-court settlement, Harlan got $70K (a token, really, considering it was a box office hit) and those subsequent release credits. If you ever get the chance, ask James Cameron what he thinks about Harlan Ellison...
AI is not new. The first professional workshop on AI was in 1956 at Dartmouth College, and that was over a decade after the invention of neural networks as a technique for creating computer software that learns from data.
Director James Cameron intended for the Terminator Saga to END with Terminator 2. The greedy film studios decided to make a bunch of inferior sequels WITHOUT James Cameron, that ruin everything that Sarah accomplishes in Part 2.
I would like the Terminator saga to end where it began. The first three movies before JD, and the final three movies set in the Future Wars. The final film of the franchise would have ended with Skynet being defeated and Kyle Reese being sent to 1984 to protect Sarah. The post-credit sequence would be the Resistance sending a reprogrammed T-800 back to 1995 to protect John before blowing up the Time Displacement complex, then fade to black, with the original Terminator metal heartbeat theme playing. Indicating to the viewers that the Terminator series has no ending as the first Terminator film is a sequel to the sixth.
The stuff they call AI now is not actually Artifical Intelligence, they just call it that because it sounds more impressive than Large Language Model. Or as some call it, Plagiarism Machine, because it copies people's artwork without permission.
There is no CGI this movie. All are made using physical models.
Well the laser and the lightening are technically cgi... but 70s/80s tech cgi
@@robertcampomizzi7988 It's not CGI when it's not computer generated.
That wasn’t “bad cgi” at the eyeball scene. It was a physical animatronic. Completely practical effect.
And I'd take that over CGI every darn time.😂
Give em a break they watching this movie for the first time 40 years after this came out
It was actually really good practical effects for the time, NO cgi at all
Most people poke fun at it. But I have no problem because a machine covered in flesh would trip the uncanny valley. Kyle said the T-600 with rubber skin was easy to spot. But I feel even the T-800 would be somewhat unnatural up close.
@@danawright777 Plus the Terminator's skin was already starting to decay. It wasn't meant to last long. Just long enough for it to infiltrate and kill its target. The unreal look was perfect.
I thought the fly on the Terminator's head and the janitor asking about the bad smell later was perfect exposition that his skin war rotting away.

Still cracks me up that Cameron absolutely hates Ellison to this day and trashes him whenever he gets a chance.

The Terminator will always be a proof of practical effects being vastly superior to any CGI

I agree with you about the rest of the Terminator franchise, however I will say that Terminator Salvation is one of the better ones.
@@AHPal-ji6oj Fair to say, T1 and A1 lean more horror than action. But I look at them as building a good story around the action to come. Thus putting them on the fringes of the Action genre. T1 more so than A1.
And to be honest, I never liked straight up horror flicks on the level of Jason or the Freddie franchises. Not my cup of tea.
But when tied with a good story with science fiction elements, it catches my interest. The "horror" isn't there just to be horrific. And even then, my interest is very selective.
For instance, I would not be into something like 'Event Horizon'. Not really a fan of 'Starship Troopers' either despite all the action.
And A2, despite being more action oriented, did have a sufficient horror element in it. Not quite as much as A1, mainly because we had an idea what we were dealing with by the time it came out, but the horror is clearly there there.
T2 was pretty much almost all action. The T1000 brought what little there was for any horror in the movie.
Go watching Terminator 2 Extended Special Edition, very best version this film😊😮🎉❤
Copy that 🫡
Watching the younger generation get blown away by my childhood movies.🥺 Yup, cemeron's genius. It was all in his head and he called it. AI was a concept back then, like you said, like flying cars.
Now it's time for you to watch the best sequel ever made: **Terminator 2: Judgment Day**!
lots of people saying this 😆 we can’t wait!
FYI, it's Sarah Connor, not Connor Sarah. She was just listed as "Connor, Sarah" at her job as that's how the company keeps track of their employees.
but connor sarah sounds fun
AI has been part of science fiction since the first computers. People knew one day computers would be powerful enough.
When he looked fake when he took his eye out, it’s because he was, it was a big animatronic head.
The biggest deleted scene in this movie is the Lt telling Reese to keep her safe; Implying he believed him. The novel goes a little further, and the Lt can see Reese is too young to have served in Nam, but he had "the look" from veterans of a fucked up war.
EDIT: Bonus easter egg; When Reese is shown in the future the second time, when the photo of Sarah burns, they would use that look for the original Metal Gear game on NES
39:26 War Games and Dr. Strangelove talk about forms of AI. "I, Robot"was written/released in 1950. Was a movie in 2004.
I like the interrogation scene between Dr. Silberman and Reese. "Did you bring any ray guns?" I got another time travel movie reaction suggestion for you guys it's another one of my favorites, The Final Countdown (1980) The U.S.S. Nimitz goes back to December 6th, 1941. It's filmed on the Nimitz. It's like Top Gun meets Back to the Future.
10:33 - 10:36 That's Ethans. The guy that the woman (Charlotte) that got blown up by the HK-Tank accused him of being a terminator.
I read that sentence at least five times and I still don't understand.
Arnold is in them all
There's a great movie from 1970 called "Colossus The Forbin Project" about a defence network computer that becomes self aware and joins up with its Russian counterpart to take over the world. Well worth watching.
I enjoyed your reaction! Before you watch Terminator 2, I recommend checking out a Trailer called "Terminator 2 Teaser Endoskeleton Factory". I have never seen anybody react to it yet, so it would be cool if you did, it just lasts 1 minute. I think this is a brilliant and unique trailer from back in the day, because it doesnt spoil the plot at all, like it is the often the case in modern movie trailers. This trailer doesnt even contain a single scene from the movie itself, yet it perfectly explains the setup for the 2nd movie and why there is a second Terminator. However stay away from other trailers, because they contain spoilers
A.I. was around in 1984? Try 1968. 2001 a space Odyssey.
T2 is literally one of the best movies ever made.
4:34 "WTF" indeed. Deal-breaker. There are lines you just don't cross.
My favorite bit is when he's in the apartment as the landlord asks about the odor coming from the room. The Terminator cycles through possible responses and comes up with "Fuck you, asshole", which is a nod to the scene where the T-800 (the exact model of The Terminator, also referred to in the movie by Reese as Cyberdyne Systems model 101) first arrived and encountered/slaughtered that gang of thugs led by Bill Paxton.
Ah, Bill Paxton. Killed by a Terminator, a Xenomorph, a Predator, Alien invaders, and almost killed by a twister.
And almost killed by a giant gorilla (the remake of Mighty Joe Young)
Skipped out on getting killed in Titanic.
Obviously one of Cameron's favorite actors to work with.
@@DocMicrowave I think you may be right
Now you not only have to watch the sequel, T2: Judgement Day, but you should definitely react to the original Conan the Barbarian with Arnold Schwarzenegger. If you loved this movie you’ll REALLY love T2.
14:16 Portable cassette players (portable music in general) was pretty brand new then
If you didn't notice the lieutenant not the sergeant was the cyborg in Aliens. Bishop
And that was James Cameron’s first movie.
Actually it was Piranha II, but Cameron want you to forget about that one 😂😂😂
Alright Los Angeles, we all really need to get our shit together for 2029. I wanna overpay for Tech Noire pop-up bars for at least a whole year!
I can tell instantly from your response to opening scene that you didn't know what you were getting into...you HAVE to watch T2 now if you haven't already...total game changer, best sequel of all time.
Congrats, you are part of a small group of reactionaries who ask “what if Kyle is John’s father” half way into it.
man editor had one job why did he cut out the reaction to "i'll be back" bruh...
So sorry about that we will improve the edits !
You guys skipped 'I'll be back'. No reaction to one of the most iconic one-liners of all time? Wow hard pass.
Was fun watching your reaction to this movie guys. Terminator 2 is next and then maybe try to watch all of Arnold's movies.
His birthday is coming on the 30th of this month🎉
Karissa (KP) is the best ever. ALWAYS a pleasure to watch with her infectious laugh and consistent, spontaneous adorableness. LOVE. I cannot believe your total unfamiliarity with the plot of the iconic Terminator after all these years (and so many movies and TV shows). Can't wait til your WandaVision finale reaction
Great reaction. I hope you'll both react to Terminator 2. You're going to love it.
Thank you ❤️
You got it backwards, it's not "every time there is lightning, a naked man appears" it's "every time a naked man appears there is lightning.
Kyle Reese says that John Connor gave him the picture of Sarah.
Except for the very first theatrical release of The Terminator. all subsequent releases, in the end credits. have a line crediting the work of Harlan Ellison.
Ellison (died 2018) was an infamously irascible writer, of novels, short stories, and several television scripts. He wrote the original script for Star Trek's (Original Series) "City on the Edge of Forever" , which won that years World Science Fiction Hugo Award for best screenplay. Before Star Trek, Harlan had wrote a couple of time travel scripts for an earlier series, The Outer Limits. "Demon with a Glass Hand" was the one most directly influential on Cameron's first Terminator script.
Copies of the Terminator script circulated around LA, and Harlan heard about the similarities. Harlan called up Cameron and (supposedly) politely asked for a simple credit of acknowledgment, and no money.
James Cameron blew off Harlan Ellison. Big mistake...
Harlan was as free in filing lawsuits as any Scientologist. The short of it, in an out-of-court settlement, Harlan got $70K (a token, really, considering it was a box office hit) and those subsequent release credits.
If you ever get the chance, ask James Cameron what he thinks about Harlan Ellison...
AI is not new. The first professional workshop on AI was in 1956 at Dartmouth College, and that was over a decade after the invention of neural networks as a technique for creating computer software that learns from data.
I subbed hoping for T2
soon!!!
This isn't the first movie about a scary AI. Next stop: "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968)
It must have been so cool to go to the club in the 80s!
Love you guys reaction big fan from SA🇿🇦
we love you to !!!
You will love T2
Director James Cameron intended for the Terminator Saga to END with Terminator 2. The greedy film studios decided to make a bunch of inferior sequels WITHOUT James Cameron, that ruin everything that Sarah accomplishes in Part 2.
I would like the Terminator saga to end where it began. The first three movies before JD, and the final three movies set in the Future Wars. The final film of the franchise would have ended with Skynet being defeated and Kyle Reese being sent to 1984 to protect Sarah. The post-credit sequence would be the Resistance sending a reprogrammed T-800 back to 1995 to protect John before blowing up the Time Displacement complex, then fade to black, with the original Terminator metal heartbeat theme playing. Indicating to the viewers that the Terminator series has no ending as the first Terminator film is a sequel to the sixth.
"The Terminator": The Hero's Journey of Sarah Connor, assisted by Tech. Sgt. Kyle Reese.
8:32 in 100 years Connor, Sarah will be " the mother of the future "
The stuff they call AI now is not actually Artifical Intelligence, they just call it that because it sounds more impressive than Large Language Model. Or as some call it, Plagiarism Machine, because it copies people's artwork without permission.
15 out of 10.
OK, I'm watching this 3 months later. How have you not watched T-2 yet!? Subscribed and waiting. :)
This is my personal favorite terminator movie. Glad you two enjoyed it together 🙂
