I love Kyle Reese's frantic and low-to-the-ground movements. He moves like a rat through a maze, exactly how you'd expect the type of person surviving in a robot apocalypse to move.
Yeah He was the best actor for Reese, not the Hollywood beecakes they used in sequels. He is wiry, but still strong, and just a little crazy looking from PTSD. Exactly how you'd expect a veteran of a future apocalyptic war to look. The guys they got to play him later were ridiculous. So how many rat shakes does it take to get that buff after a hard day fighting robots and pumping iron.
@@wamyx8Nz Arnold was the first Hollywood choice for Reese, but then Arnold started to talk how the Terminator actor should move and act and that is when he lost the job as it was clear that he is the best actor for Terminator and it will be easier to find another Reese than another actor able to play Terminator. But yea the actor that playing Reese was perfect.
Funny thing, had the terminator waited on the bench he would have had a perfect chance to shoot Sarah in the face a couple of hours later or something.
This is what Terminator has always been about. Terminator 2 was a nice twist on the story, equal to the first movie, but not something that should be copied for every sequel. The core of Terminator is exactly that - an unstoppable killing machine.
@@EnterTheSoundscape Yes. This is what the masses seem to miss. T2 was of course a good movie, but it also sent the series spiraling into commercial mainstream silliness. It's similar to what happened to Nightmare on Elm Street and Saw.
What truly makes this scene is how methodical the Terminator's actions are. He tries infiltration by pretending to be a friend of Sarah's, and when he sees that won't work, he scans the room and realizes his truck is enough to get him in. Once he's in, he goes room by room looking for Sarah, and even takes the time to kill the power to limit his enemy's visibility. His weapons were specifically chosen for dual wielding, with the assault rifle having the stock removed and the shotgun configured to be semi-auto, and with his superior strength to handle recoil and targeting systems, he never misses or wastes ammunition. Each officer gets one quick burst from the assault rifle or one shot from the shotgun. Even though he looks like a typical action movie bad ass, he's portrayed accurately as a logical and efficient machine.
@@inigos6328 And you're a fucking idiot. He is discussing the cool details of the scene and you are basically saying something everyone already knows to what purpose exactly?
But it sort of backfires since a he’s loud and messy. The upgraded T 1000 or TX would’ve sat on the bench and waited to kill Sarah. Or the T1000 would’ve just turned into one of the officers who knows
@@renegadeace1735 He did hear it in the bar where he said come with me if you wanna live, he was outside the disco laying on the ground but he heard it 100% .
Arnold's acting as the terminator is really underrated IMO. Intimidating, emotionless, and you just really buy him as a machine underneath. It is probably one of his best acting roles IMO.
This scene really reinforced how deadly this machine was, he just kills an entire police station without any problem what so ever. And then just walking it off, no hurry. Epic scene.
Don't forget, there was an earlier scene in which (I think it's the detective) says "We've got 30 cops in this building" as a way of assuring Sarah of her safety. When I heard him say that, I thought "Uh-oh"
Shooting up the station was pointless - only served to alert Sarah to the danger - he (oops, I mean IT) could kill all those cops with ITS bare "hands".
I always loved the part at 4:08 when Kyle slips on the floor. Because it was real it looks so natural and shows the genius of Cameron's decision to leave it in. It highlights just how human Kyle is in contrast to the slow methodical movements of the Terminator. You almost never ever see slip ups or accidents left in movies.
Not only that, he *plans* for slip ups. Remember Aliens? Every character apart from the main ones (Ripley, Burke, Newt, Gorman and Hicks) was given the same first name as the actor playing them - William (Bill is short for William) Paxton was William Hudson, Jeanette Goldstein was Jeanette Vasquez, etc, so if anyone accidently used someones first name rather than the character name in a take, the shot would not be ruined.
Throughout the movie, you see how Kyle is mote human. While the T800 scans the room, Kyle is darting back and forward. He runs, and the T800 stalks. You almost don't see Arnald breathing either.
تعليقك منصف وفعلا أداء 🎭 🎬 ولا اروع منه مافي كايل متعة الفلم بأكمله وموسيقة police station كانت الأفضل من 4:00 إلى 4:30 نصف دقيقة كانت مثيرة والأفضل في الفلم بأكمله❤️🔥😍👏
Masterpiece always include brilliant flaws... Like Henry Hill hitting a table at the "Copa Cabana" scene in Goodfellas, or Mick Jagger saying "wow" when Mary Clayton reaches high notes in "Gimmie Shelter"....
T2 had a mountain of cock ups, it was visually entertaining & action filled, not a patch on this masterpiece though. Listen carefully to everything Kyle says to the Police & even to Sarah. Negates the possibility of a sequel, really.
Also at 3:01 there is a minor mistake. The Spas 12 shotgun shot the cop guy in 2 rounds. However, since the SPAS 12 is a pump action shotgun, the T-800 didn't bother to cock the fore end to load another shell before shooting it. Logic.
But then he yanks the electric cords and makes a squinting face and he also makes that same face right before he did that when he got shot. Why is an indestructible robot making faces like that? Not so Oscar worthy...
3:22 I love the cold and emotionless way that the Terminator turns around and executes the officers. Arnold’s acting really sells how it’s a machine with no grasp on morality, and simply doing what’s it’s programmed to do. Killing is just like any other task for it.
I can never decide whether the T-800's are more terrifying, because of their total indifference to pain and suffering, or the T-1000 which seems like it's got something of a fascination with it.
@@satireisnotdead5804 Truly, those were the best two Terminator models of the films. The ones after just didn't match up, but honorable mention to the T-RIP.
@@Vee_231 I think T-800 is still the winner for me, they've been shown time and again to be very reliable (but only when they're on the good guys team... Hmmm) and don't muck about doing silly and unnecessary things like the T-1000 does they just arrive, get some clothes and get on with it, the T-1000 always struck me as having something of an ego about it, a bit of a smarmy punk.
@@satireisnotdead5804 Even when they aren’t the food guys, they still take a lot of licks and keep on ticking. The original Terminator and the T-RIP (which was a prototype version of the T-800) probably got the closest to killing their marks than most of the other terminators. I remember reading about the T-1000 that they were specifically programmed it with a sadistic hatred of humans. Apparently it’s smart enough that it can even learn to make decisions contrary to Skynet, which is why they weren’t mass-produced.
I think that is what separates this from Terminator 2 for me. I just watched it again after over 20 years and disappointed there wasn’t more to the score
@@TechnologicallyTechnical Not sure what you mean by planned, but James Cameron has spoken about how he left things in place in the first film for the second one.
@@SleepExports Most writers/directors leave little things in their stories that could tie into a sequel just in case they decide to make a sequel in the future, but that's not the same as planning the sequel ahead of time. Like, the whole idea behind Sarah being in a mental hospital was suggested by Linda Hamilton after the first film had come out, so no, Silberman surviving was not setup for the sequel.
I love how at the 0:30 second mark, after realizing that they won’t let him in immediately, he starts analyzing the size and strength of the entrance. Thus determining that driving the car through it would be efficient.
god loves you all, please answer his calling because he is warning you of hell. hell is worse then u think. christ died for u so u can repent of your sins and give your life to him so you may find eternal life. Come to christ because time is ticking. Christ Jesus loves you so much. Even when you reject him. He wants you to be saved that he died for you.a
I used to always think that the Terminator acquiring an illegal full-auto AR-18 was a bit of a cop out, but I just now found out about the novelization's explanation and it is so cool. I just love how it explains that the rifle isn't an AR-18, but is actually the civilianized, semi-auto AR-180 that the Terminator modifies and effectively coverts back into what would be an equivalent of the original AR-18
@@struvrim7637 super easy back then Semi auto uzis in the 1980s were open bolt, gang bangers from the ghetto could even modify them with little actual work to convert to full auto, same with early TEC-9 pistols
One of my favorite elements of this scene is the Terminator analyzing the wall and its integrity. It's trying to make sure the car will break through. It's an unnecessary detail, but I really appreciate how it slightly clues you in to its plan before Arnold even says the line.
Definately...I also love how he tracks the cop running behind the wall and takes a moving target down with deadly precision. Its also great how they think he's a terrorist. Nope...more like something from your worst nightmare. Although Rambo was bad ass. Arnold as the Terminator made Rambo look like Mall Cop as far as intimidation level goes.
@ela robinsin I guess it was an error in the filmmaking. I think in Terminaror 2 atleast in the original cut when she's removing bullets from arnold theres missing holes from where he got shot...idk somethin along those lines I remember. They should also explain why Arnold is like 25lbs lighter in T2. Its one of the reasons that almost makes me like T1 over T2 since Arnold doesn't look like a walking tank like the original. He was actually bigger in T3 at like 55. If you pay attention to him from the back when he's walkin toward the bar the width of his back and form is almost identical to T1. Quite an accomplishment for Arnie to get in that kind of shape again for T3. From a physical standpoint he looks more like his original form in T1.
ROBINSON XLNT I was just thinking the same exact thing before i even read your comment lol. He knocked him unconscious so he became out of sight and away from danger. Probably the only survivor in that station.
Terminators have some seriously impressive combat algorithms. I mean the feature list includes: - use staircases - open doors, with and without force - talk to people and even trick them - drive vehicles - analyse structural integritiy, layout and weakpoints of buildings - path find through (partially destroyed) buildings - fire, aim and reload non native weapon systems - perform target priorisation, aimpoint selection and judge necessary lethal force - do all this with sunglasses and in the darkness
Well it is stated that they have an adaptive AI. Plus it likely got a dataset from skynet as well. Imagine the amount of data a works spanning general AI has available.
Arnold wanted to say "I will be back" to make it sounds more robotic but the director said no. Now the iconic "I'll be back" line is a part of history.
@@coltonwhite2518 It's the opposite, he wanted to say "I will be back" because "I'll be back" was harder to say, at least for beginners in English but the director of the movie said no.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. I love Camerons accuracy to detail. Earlier the lead detective tells Sarah there are 30 cops in the building. If you observed visually and audibly, you witness/hear the T-800 shoot exactly 29 people. But I said 30 right? Right, because the remaining 1 who didn't die was the cop Kyle knocks unconscious.
Not just the body count but it's all the incidental sounds: the shouts of the cops in the background, about the fires and the lights, the injured cops screaming, and fewer and fewer crying out as the T800 carries on.
@@ElBandito it makes a lot of sense a few of these guys wouldn't die when you look at the way the terminator's shooting - he's not really shooting to kill as much as he is 'raking' across numerous people, which means most of these guys get hit with 2-3 rounds across the chest from a .223, relatively survivable depending on how quick ems arrives (which i would imagine is pretty fast, this is a police station after all) the only guys that would for sure be dead are the guys hit directly with the terminator's shotgun
IMO, this was one of Arnold's greatest performances. He did not have many lines in the movie, but he truly pulled off playing a machine. Cold, with no emotion. The 2nd movie, which also was great, they gave him more personality.
This movie can't be made today cause snowflakes would cry over a fake robot kil_ing fake cops.. My My My The Snowflakes we have become.. We would have Snowflakes like Bluelivesmatter protesting this movie with their fake out outrage...
Good things about this scene: - Incredibly Thrilling and Entertaining. The cinematography, set design and sound design is phenomenal. - Great Storytelling. It makes the Terminator look more intimidating and unstoppable when even an entire police station of cops can’t stop the machine. - Very Intense. All the gunshots and cops getting killed keeps you on your toes. - Outstanding Soundtrack. It adds to the scene’s intensity and the part when Sarah and Reese are making their escape is unavoidably catchy. Bad things about this scene: - *Arnie’s guns sometimes makes the wrong gunshot noises!*
Those wrong gun noises were added to the DVD release in early 2000's I believe with new sound mix, and yes, they screwed up those. Newer Blu Ray remasters did have the original sounds and had better sound if recalling correctly.
I got the feeling that Lt. Traxler halfway believed Reese during his interrogation. You could see he was freaked out once the shooting started. James Cameron sets the mood like no one else.
Watch the deleted scene on this channel, he handed Kyle his pistol, and tells him Sarah has to live before he died. If that scene was canon it’s confirmed he believes in Kyle.
@@Nicholas_Chen_ Not just that but there another deleted scene after the "It's him and me" part where he closes the door and Henriksen was all "it's Moon talk" and Draxler was "he better be" so there was a gnawing doubt that Kyle may be legit
The beeper moment at 0:09 was a masterful touch in my opinion. It caught my eye the very first time I saw it. Just made me wonder how many times in our real lives we just miss out on a disaster by a random seemingly insignificant event that we will never realize this side of Heaven.
In the novelization, there's a mention that Silberman received the beeper message from his gay partner Douglas. So he didn't notice the Terminator. Moral: backdoor knocking may be lethal.
Both movies Terminator 1 and Terminator 2 Judgment day or two of the best of this franchise movies they should have left it when the unaltered ending and Terminator 2 director's cut they have an alternate ending where the war has been prevent what James Cameron decide to take that out what under directors cut you can actually see it the deleted scene or in which I refer to
Terminator should be a trilogy: Terminator 1 as Terminator 1 Terminator Salvation as Terminator 2 - as a background for last part. And then Terminator witch everyone waiting, I named Terminator Total War as Terminator 3 - real war and Rage Against The Machine :D
This movie can't be made today cause snowflakes would cry over a fake robot kil_ing fake cops.. My My My The Snowflakes we have become.. We would have Snowflakes like Bluelivesmatter protesting this movie with their fake out outrage...
Alternative version :- "I'm a friend of Sarah Conor, can I see her please" "She's making a statement, it will be a while but you can wait on the bench" "OK I will wait on the bench"
I grew up with Terminator. My favourite Sci Fi movie and storyline of all times. I loved T2 so much, but now that I'm 35 I'm starting appreciating T1 more than the second one. This police station assault is simply outstanding. Iconic af... goosebumpim music... superb acting...
Yes, when i was younger i used to think that T2 was better its only when you get older and watch them again that you realise T1 is better. That being said both movies are great. T1 platinum T2 gold
I never liked the UI of terminator view. It shows absolutely needless stuff like memory addresses, instead of actually showing how terminator scans things or targets enemies. Robocop UI is way more functional.
@@oldcat1790 The Hud of the Terminator is only meant for the audience to convey how it’s CPU works. The Terminator doesn’t need a hud in actuality. It can also see in full color when needed.
He also had the headlights on since you see the cop being illuminated but when the camera shows the vehicle go through the door and the lights are off but when you see the officer again he's illuminated as if the lights were back on.
I love how doctor Soberman encounters a terminator in the first three movies, but manages to survive each time. I'd like to think he also survived judgement day. I would have really liked to see him in Terminator Salvation as an elderly member of the human resistance army.
He didn’t survive Termintor Salvation 😂😂😂😂. But who knows the was a scene in T3 that he finally got to see the terminator up close and personal so who knows maybe he took Sarah’s words for real and probably jet it to Mexico
4:34 he truly looks like a killer machine, his movements and the nonchalant walk off out of the burning building he destroyed … truly inhuman and an amazing performance
How he tracked him through the wall at 1:48 was a masterful touch. He is the ultimate killing machine. Imagine seeing this thing shooting a spas12 shotgun with 1 hand, terrifying.
Imagine how god damn terrifying this must be. Having a killer stalk you is scary enough, but knowing he's a damn near unkillable machine that won't rest, won't hesitate and will not stop until you're dead. Genuinely horrifying shit.
This is one of my favourite movie scenes ever. Having a villain rampage through a police station at that time was unheard of. Arnold did an excellent job too having no expression of emotions while killing everyone in his path. He truly made it believable that he felt no "pity or remorse" while fulfilling his mission. One of the best movies out there, followed up by T2 years later was masterful. The rest is suspect at best
Even more fun, imagine the after-massacre evaluations that are done. All they can figure out is that a single individual rammed a car into a police station, and then proceeded to massacre the police inside. They would trace the path evaluating what the police and the attacker did, both right and wrong. The scary part is that the list of mistakes made is very short for both parties. This tells the reviewers that the police did nearly everything right, and were still killed off. It also tells them that this individual was able to wage a one-man attack on a police station, and did nearly everything right. This review was likely circulated among lots of police stations across the country (and quite a few military bases) to provide ideas how to better protect police stations from a similar attacker, plus lots of facial recognition systems to try and spot this person wherever he is. Unfortunately this person didn't show up again until 1991, seven years later. The after-battle review at the Cyberdyne building would be even worse. The same person showed up, had more firepower, and the only officers injured are the SWAT team who were all shot in the knee (instead of between the eyes). Every officer there that night knew that the only reason they are alive is because this person chose not to kill them. Of course the pilot still won't talk about why he jumped out while his helicopter was several stories off the ground. Figure lots of PTSD afterwards.
@@toddkes5890Great points! Not to mention, that the attack on the police station happened during 1984 at the height of the Cold War, Someone's probably going to wonder if there's a Russian connection in this attack.
To me, this is one of the best horror scenes ever made. Sarah's in the safest place she could be in small town, America: a police station. Filled with dozens of well-armed, brave policemen confident in their ability to protect her. Introduce the unstoppable, biomechanical horror that is the T-800. "It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop... ever, until you are dead!" Edit: If you pointed out that LA is not a small town, congratulations. I'm sure you're fun at social gatherings.
Man, sequences like this would NEVER fly nowadays. Especially not with this level of grit and horror. The way james cameron lit this sequence was genius. Cutting the main power and the whole thing being lit by ONLY flames and emergency lights just added that much more to the tension
@Gregory Smith I dont think his comment was so much about the level of blood and gore but the idea itself of shooting up and killing an entire police station.
@Gregory Smith check out the movie "Elephant" by Gus Van Sant. It's based off of Columbine, has kids blasting kids and is kinda fucked up. Not disagreeing with anything you said btw, just offering a film suggestion 🙂
@@prorrie but still, you don’t take on somebody alone that you know has already killed many others in the building single handedly so robot or not, he knew that the man killing people was not just some punk. It was suicide
@@Boba_Fett1980 combat is often extremely confusing and a massive adrenaline spike. You dont have time to think about things like that when your buddies are dying left and right and you have a means to try and stop that
I was just thinking that. Imagine if a major film in the next few years wanted to recapture that 80's feel and brought back these synth sounds. It'll never happen but DAMN it would be epic!! Might even have saved Dark Fate. hehe.
The beeper going off, distracting the doc from looking at the 800 as it walks through the door is so subtly and well done. It must be my 70th time watching this movie, and I never noticed.
In the novelization, there was a mention that Silberman received the beeper message from some Douglas (I guess his gay partner). And if not the beeper, he could save many lives. Moral: backdoor knocking may be lethal.
Still my favorite terminator movie to date. Terminator 2 is also a masterpiece but nothing will be better than seeing Arnold enter a room full of police officers and mow them down like they are a piece of paper and the horror element really helps this movie
I love "show, don't tell" don't tell me the terminator is unstoppable, show me as he mows through a department full of officers. Don't tell me the predator is a vicious hunter, show me as he tears apart and squad of elite commandos. More movies need the show don't tell method.
Club Noir is just a cinema classic scene.... all the elements from the first act come together in that scene - the slow motion and her looking up with the laser sight on her forehead like a rabbit in the spotlight just brilliant. Also the extras who are dancers don't look stupid in slow mo - that must have taken care@@robd1329
Turned up on headphones, this scene, with that music makes the hairs stand up on my head and arms. Cinema doesn’t get much better than this. One of the best science fiction films ever made
What a scene, timeless. It's got the famous line, and then the Terminator just ploughing into an entire police station and mowing everyone down just to get to one person. Brilliant.
Absolutely horrific and haunting scene. Nothing could have prepared them for the calamity that befell them. A terrible and unstoppable force moved and kill with total efficiency. Their valor and weapons alike couldn’t halt it. Damn. This scene is a masterpiece. Hard to watch for all the right reasons.
2:59 is my favorite shot: Dude fires a bullet which goes right through Arnold and hits the glass behind him, shattering it. Such a clever visual effect. There are other scenes that show the Terminator is indeed getting hit (he's not flinching, he's recoiling from the force of the bullets hitting him), he's just not going down, which adds to the confusion among the cops and the overall mayhem of the assault.
I've never noticed the 2:59 shot before. But doesn't he shatter the window by hitting it with his elbow? Right near the left edge of the glass, a hole appears. It's one of those Hollywood glasses that breaks easily. I mean the hole could be a bullet hole that slightly misses, but to me it seems more like Arnold hits it with his elbow
@@shredd5705I agree, although they do make it pretty clear the bullet hits him in the front with enough momentum to knock him back into the glass, which is pretty cool as well.
@@forever-pk1hn It did. The T800s just need to touch someone in order to copy their voice. In T2 Arny copied John Connors voice on the phone to the T100 remember
One of the best shootouts in movie history, with a matching BG score. Probably is even better than the iconic scene from the movie Heat. This is the very definition of shock and awe
Yeah, I love how he just walks away like nothing instead of running after them. Still in pursuit, but not hot on target. He probably calculated a low probability rate of being able to catch up with them and just switched into a different mode of operation. All of that information implied in a 10 second shot, without spelling out a single thing for the audience. Real sophisticated story telling. Same thing when Reese and Sarah reunited just beforehand. They didn't say a single word to eachother, but they both knew exactly what time it was and so did the audience. It really elevated the strength of their connection in an instant.
"It can't be bargained with, it can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear; and it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead." Sargent Kyle Reese.
The whole soundtrack is mostly synthesizer. But yes, that's a nice little sequence, an emotive contrast to the ongoing drone and more simple bass sequence as the T800 wipes out all life. The simplicity of it and it being in a major musical scale is what creates the contrast, but also the simplicity of the synth sound itself, it's always so striking. The timbres of analog (subtractive) synthesizers are what the human ear seems to enjoy, yet what our minds find intriguing, hence why electronic music has been a big thing since 70s.
The way Arnold moves in close when he say "I'll be back reminds me of the old talking heads in Fallout 1 and 2 when you say something to piss them off.
Even as a young kid this scene... there was something different about it. The police station feels like a fortress, impenetrable to almost all threats and you start to feel like Sarah... maybe she is safe here and she'll be okay? But, he'll be back.
This scene broke the horror cliche where you think you would be safe with police. You would never see Jason Vorhees or Michael Meyers in a police station. Once you saw him destroy an entire police station, who knew how unstoppable he would be?
The only other time something like this happened in a horror flick was in Maniac Cop 2. Matt Cordell gave zero fucks. Then again, he was practically undead at that point.
I could have sworn Reese said/shouted something to Sarah when they were being chased through the alley, but I watched it again and he didn't. He doesn't look 30 feet away when he said "Come with me if you want to live" though, maybe 10-15 so the Terminator might have heard
@@MyoclonicJerkCough yes, that's true. All he needs to do is hear the voice and he can copy it. I think Kyle would have been close enough for the T-800 to hear and copy him.
Okay maybe I'm late to this, but has anyone ever noticed that the Terminator's walking sound is different from other people? If you listen closely the footsteps that silberman makes is just regular, nothing off about it. But the Terminator's footsteps sound like a metal clanging. This just goes to show how genius the sound design of this movie is, even for its low budget

Seriously. That cop filling out paperwork was like, "Man, that's some friend."
Arnold's acting as the terminator is really underrated IMO. Intimidating, emotionless, and you just really buy him as a machine underneath. It is probably one of his best acting roles IMO.
As good as Arnold was, Reese was better. The Terminator without Arnold would be like Darth Vader without James Earl Jones - unimaginable.

This scene really reinforced how deadly this machine was, he just kills an entire police station without any problem what so ever. And then just walking it off, no hurry.
Epic scene.
Don't forget, there was an earlier scene in which (I think it's the detective) says "We've got 30 cops in this building" as a way of assuring Sarah of her safety. When I heard him say that, I thought "Uh-oh"

Shooting up the station was pointless - only served to alert Sarah to the danger - he (oops, I mean IT) could kill all those cops with ITS bare "hands".

I always loved the part at 4:08 when Kyle slips on the floor. Because it was real it looks so natural and shows the genius of Cameron's decision to leave it in. It highlights just how human Kyle is in contrast to the slow methodical movements of the Terminator. You almost never ever see slip ups or accidents left in movies.
Not only that, he *plans* for slip ups. Remember Aliens? Every character apart from the main ones (Ripley, Burke, Newt, Gorman and Hicks) was given the same first name as the actor playing them - William (Bill is short for William) Paxton was William Hudson, Jeanette Goldstein was Jeanette Vasquez, etc, so if anyone accidently used someones first name rather than the character name in a take, the shot would not be ruined.
That's what made this movie scary.
Throughout the movie, you see how Kyle is mote human. While the T800 scans the room, Kyle is darting back and forward. He runs, and the T800 stalks. You almost don't see Arnald breathing either.

3:22 I love the cold and emotionless way that the Terminator turns around and executes the officers. Arnold’s acting really sells how it’s a machine with no grasp on morality, and simply doing what’s it’s programmed to do. Killing is just like any other task for it.
I can never decide whether the T-800's are more terrifying, because of their total indifference to pain and suffering, or the T-1000 which seems like it's got something of a fascination with it.
@@satireisnotdead5804 Truly, those were the best two Terminator models of the films. The ones after just didn't match up, but honorable mention to the T-RIP.

@@satireisnotdead5804 Even when they aren’t the food guys, they still take a lot of licks and keep on ticking. The original Terminator and the T-RIP (which was a prototype version of the T-800) probably got the closest to killing their marks than most of the other terminators.
I remember reading about the T-1000 that they were specifically programmed it with a sadistic hatred of humans. Apparently it’s smart enough that it can even learn to make decisions contrary to Skynet, which is why they weren’t mass-produced.

I used to always think that the Terminator acquiring an illegal full-auto AR-18 was a bit of a cop out, but I just now found out about the novelization's explanation and it is so cool. I just love how it explains that the rifle isn't an AR-18, but is actually the civilianized, semi-auto AR-180 that the Terminator modifies and effectively coverts back into what would be an equivalent of the original AR-18
The Terminator would be exactly the person who would know how to illegally modify a gun into full auto.
@@AdrianFahrenheitTepesI have detailed files 🤖
the book describes it in more detail. T-800 also somehow modified the Uzi from a civilian version that he "got" from a gun shop
@@struvrim7637 super easy back then
Semi auto uzis in the 1980s were open bolt, gang bangers from the ghetto could even modify them with little actual work to convert to full auto, same with early TEC-9 pistols
One of my favorite elements of this scene is the Terminator analyzing the wall and its integrity. It's trying to make sure the car will break through. It's an unnecessary detail, but I really appreciate how it slightly clues you in to its plan before Arnold even says the line.
It even turns its head in order to avoid using the uncovered robot eye as the noise would give it away.
Iike the red primitive terminator vision.
Definately...I also love how he tracks the cop running behind the wall and takes a moving target down with deadly precision. Its also great how they think he's a terrorist. Nope...more like something from your worst nightmare. Although Rambo was bad ass. Arnold as the Terminator made Rambo look like Mall Cop as far as intimidation level goes.
@ela robinsin I guess it was an error in the filmmaking. I think in Terminaror 2 atleast in the original cut when she's removing bullets from arnold theres missing holes from where he got shot...idk somethin along those lines I remember. They should also explain why Arnold is like 25lbs lighter in T2. Its one of the reasons that almost makes me like T1 over T2 since Arnold doesn't look like a walking tank like the original. He was actually bigger in T3 at like 55. If you pay attention to him from the back when he's walkin toward the bar the width of his back and form is almost identical to T1. Quite an accomplishment for Arnie to get in that kind of shape again for T3. From a physical standpoint he looks more like his original form in T1.

Terminators have some seriously impressive combat algorithms. I mean the feature list includes:
- use staircases
- open doors, with and without force
- talk to people and even trick them
- drive vehicles
- analyse structural integritiy, layout and weakpoints of buildings
- path find through (partially destroyed) buildings
- fire, aim and reload non native weapon systems
- perform target priorisation, aimpoint selection and judge necessary lethal force
- do all this with sunglasses and in the darkness
Dont forget that the AR 180 hes using was converted to full auto in the book. So he has detailed weapon smithing.
You forgot tactical thinking; destroying the building’s power supply to create confusion and lower aiming performance in humans.
The terminator was so good for its time its like they really came from the future to make the movie
Well it is stated that they have an adaptive AI. Plus it likely got a dataset from skynet as well. Imagine the amount of data a works spanning general AI has available.
well, it was infiltration unit after all.
Arnold wanted to say "I will be back" to make it sounds more robotic but the director said no.
Now the iconic "I'll be back" line is a part of history.
I always heard that he couldn't pronounce the phrase properly, so he had to shorten it.
@@coltonwhite2518 It's the opposite, he wanted to say "I will be back" because "I'll be back" was harder to say, at least for beginners in English but the director of the movie said no.
"I will be back" would've been better
Up & Atom!... Up & at Them!
@@Z3t487 wasn't about "harder" to say but more him thinking it just sounded weird with his accent
I've said it before and I'll say it again. I love Camerons accuracy to detail. Earlier the lead detective tells Sarah there are 30 cops in the building. If you observed visually and audibly, you witness/hear the T-800 shoot exactly 29 people. But I said 30 right? Right, because the remaining 1 who didn't die was the cop Kyle knocks unconscious.
In T2, the dudes interrogating Sarah said he killed 17 officers. So the rest were only wounded.
Not just the body count but it's all the incidental sounds: the shouts of the cops in the background, about the fires and the lights, the injured cops screaming, and fewer and fewer crying out as the T800 carries on.
Interesting and the one knocked out was maybe viewed as dead or not a threat he didn't come after him. Wise choice though not really a choic e
Luck the Irish cop
@@ElBandito it makes a lot of sense a few of these guys wouldn't die when you look at the way the terminator's shooting - he's not really shooting to kill as much as he is 'raking' across numerous people, which means most of these guys get hit with 2-3 rounds across the chest from a .223, relatively survivable depending on how quick ems arrives (which i would imagine is pretty fast, this is a police station after all)
the only guys that would for sure be dead are the guys hit directly with the terminator's shotgun
IMO, this was one of Arnold's greatest performances. He did not have many lines in the movie, but he truly pulled off playing a machine. Cold, with no emotion.
The 2nd movie, which also was great, they gave him more personality.
To think this came out in 84 & is still better then most action movies of today.

Good things about this scene:
- Incredibly Thrilling and Entertaining. The cinematography, set design and sound design is phenomenal.
- Great Storytelling. It makes the Terminator look more intimidating and unstoppable when even an entire police station of cops can’t stop the machine.
- Very Intense. All the gunshots and cops getting killed keeps you on your toes.
- Outstanding Soundtrack. It adds to the scene’s intensity and the part when Sarah and Reese are making their escape is unavoidably catchy.
Bad things about this scene:
- *Arnie’s guns sometimes makes the wrong gunshot noises!*
To be fair, it’s not like the cops are like “oh wait, this dude’s guns are making the wrong sounds, oh shi-“ 😂😂😂
EmperorOfDance
Still, *0/10* just for that
Those wrong gun noises were added to the DVD release in early 2000's I believe with new sound mix, and yes, they screwed up those. Newer Blu Ray remasters did have the original sounds and had better sound if recalling correctly.
Cool story bro! Jesus the cringe..

Wtf, these are actors for starters and if you hate cops so much, then dont call them when you need them.
I got the feeling that Lt. Traxler halfway believed Reese during his interrogation. You could see he was freaked out once the shooting started. James Cameron sets the mood like no one else.
Or he was just being serious because he heard gunshots in a police station? Lol. You’re looking too far into it

@@VixXstazosJOB Correct me if I'm wrong but T1 doesn't have a Director's cut, the theatrical one is the only version of the movie.
The beeper moment at 0:09 was a masterful touch in my opinion. It caught my eye the very first time I saw it. Just made me wonder how many times in our real lives we just miss out on a disaster by a random seemingly insignificant event that we will never realize this side of Heaven.
In the novelization, there's a mention that Silberman received the beeper message from his gay partner Douglas. So he didn't notice the Terminator.
Moral: backdoor knocking may be lethal.
This scene alone is better than Genesis and Dark Fate combined.
It reminded the audience why the terminators should be feared.
Alone is better than everything after T-2

This is one of my favourite movie scenes ever.
Having a villain rampage through a police station at that time was unheard of. Arnold did an excellent job too having no expression of emotions while killing everyone in his path. He truly made it believable that he felt no "pity or remorse" while fulfilling his mission.
One of the best movies out there, followed up by T2 years later was masterful.
The rest is suspect at best
Even more fun, imagine the after-massacre evaluations that are done. All they can figure out is that a single individual rammed a car into a police station, and then proceeded to massacre the police inside. They would trace the path evaluating what the police and the attacker did, both right and wrong. The scary part is that the list of mistakes made is very short for both parties.
This tells the reviewers that the police did nearly everything right, and were still killed off. It also tells them that this individual was able to wage a one-man attack on a police station, and did nearly everything right. This review was likely circulated among lots of police stations across the country (and quite a few military bases) to provide ideas how to better protect police stations from a similar attacker, plus lots of facial recognition systems to try and spot this person wherever he is. Unfortunately this person didn't show up again until 1991, seven years later.
The after-battle review at the Cyberdyne building would be even worse. The same person showed up, had more firepower, and the only officers injured are the SWAT team who were all shot in the knee (instead of between the eyes). Every officer there that night knew that the only reason they are alive is because this person chose not to kill them. Of course the pilot still won't talk about why he jumped out while his helicopter was several stories off the ground. Figure lots of PTSD afterwards.
@@toddkes5890Great points! Not to mention, that the attack on the police station happened during 1984 at the height of the Cold War, Someone's probably going to wonder if there's a Russian connection in this attack.

To me, this is one of the best horror scenes ever made. Sarah's in the safest place she could be in small town, America: a police station. Filled with dozens of well-armed, brave policemen confident in their ability to protect her. Introduce the unstoppable, biomechanical horror that is the T-800.
"It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop... ever, until you are dead!"
Edit: If you pointed out that LA is not a small town, congratulations. I'm sure you're fun at social gatherings.
Damn cuz.that made even me piss my pants
30 cops to be exact.

@@fernando_713 not for Salvation tho
Man, sequences like this would NEVER fly nowadays. Especially not with this level of grit and horror. The way james cameron lit this sequence was genius. Cutting the main power and the whole thing being lit by ONLY flames and emergency lights just added that much more to the tension
Why wouldn't they? Please elaborate
@@darkleome5409 Having someone slaughter police officers? In this level of detail and intemacy of the kills?
Oh stop. This is tame as fuck compared to the shit we see today. Hell, this is tame compared to the rest of 80s cinema.
@Gregory Smith I dont think his comment was so much about the level of blood and gore but the idea itself of shooting up and killing an entire police station.
@Gregory Smith check out the movie "Elephant" by Gus Van Sant. It's based off of Columbine, has kids blasting kids and is kinda fucked up. Not disagreeing with anything you said btw, just offering a film suggestion 🙂
I love the brief look the two cops give each other when they're breaking out the rifles, like, "Nah, there's no way, right?"
The fact lance steps out to shoot after hearing this dude tear through a whole station is so badass. He really cares about his homie Ed.
The line between brave and dumb is pretty thin, and he definitely jumped right over it.
@@thefez-cat I mean, it's not like he was expecting to face an impervious killer robot from the future
Terminator vs Bishop
@@prorrie but still, you don’t take on somebody alone that you know has already killed many others in the building single handedly so robot or not, he knew that the man killing people was not just some punk. It was suicide
@@Boba_Fett1980 combat is often extremely confusing and a massive adrenaline spike. You dont have time to think about things like that when your buddies are dying left and right and you have a means to try and stop that
That 80s synthesizer tho!
Epic synthesizer solo at 4:03 LOL
I was just thinking that.
Imagine if a major film in the next few years wanted to recapture that 80's feel and brought back these synth sounds.
It'll never happen but DAMN it would be epic!!
Might even have saved Dark Fate. hehe.
I used to mess with those sounds in band.
A man of culture
Yessir!
The beeper going off, distracting the doc from looking at the 800 as it walks through the door is so subtly and well done. It must be my 70th time watching this movie, and I never noticed.
In the novelization, there was a mention that Silberman received the beeper message from some Douglas (I guess his gay partner). And if not the beeper, he could save many lives.
Moral: backdoor knocking may be lethal.
when the music slowly hits as he gets out of the car is chilling and frightening and awesome at the same time. crazy scene.
Still my favorite terminator movie to date. Terminator 2 is also a masterpiece but nothing will be better than seeing Arnold enter a room full of police officers and mow them down like they are a piece of paper and the horror element really helps this movie
Boarder line horror lol
I love "show, don't tell" don't tell me the terminator is unstoppable, show me as he mows through a department full of officers. Don't tell me the predator is a vicious hunter, show me as he tears apart and squad of elite commandos. More movies need the show don't tell method.
In a way this movie is more like a horror movie than an action movie.
Best Terminator 2 . When Sarah want top use the Elevator 😂
Even the synthesizer music is awesome
0:41
This 3-word one-liner was the most iconic movie line in the 1980s and shaped Arnold's entire acting career from then on.
"Yippee Kay ayyy motherfuckers" - very cheesy and makes no sense, lol.
But probably just as epically memorable a line from 80s action movies.
"I'll be back."
Idk why I see this as the best movie line
This sequence still looks awesome over 38 years later.
It always will man
Its been yearsss and still watch this scene. The club noir scene is also classic
Even after 39 🤓
Club Noir is just a cinema classic scene.... all the elements from the first act come together in that scene - the slow motion and her looking up with the laser sight on her forehead like a rabbit in the spotlight just brilliant. Also the extras who are dancers don't look stupid in slow mo - that must have taken care@@robd1329
It's not 38 years ago!!
It's like ten!! Max!
Turned up on headphones, this scene, with that music makes the hairs stand up on my head and arms. Cinema doesn’t get much better than this. One of the best science fiction films ever made
the action, music, and camera quality make this a classic 80's movie and these movies cannot be replicated anymore.. masterpiece
What a scene, timeless. It's got the famous line, and then the Terminator just ploughing into an entire police station and mowing everyone down just to get to one person. Brilliant.
0:41 So freakin' iconic. So freakin' 80's.
Na man, this is ahead of its time
@@tonyl0ng Just like most 80's music fashion n films. A decade outta time.
T2 is so 90's. To go back in time.
80s*
0:40
Absolutely horrific and haunting scene. Nothing could have prepared them for the calamity that befell them. A terrible and unstoppable force moved and kill with total efficiency. Their valor and weapons alike couldn’t halt it.
Damn. This scene is a masterpiece. Hard to watch for all the right reasons.
2:59 is my favorite shot: Dude fires a bullet which goes right through Arnold and hits the glass behind him, shattering it. Such a clever visual effect. There are other scenes that show the Terminator is indeed getting hit (he's not flinching, he's recoiling from the force of the bullets hitting him), he's just not going down, which adds to the confusion among the cops and the overall mayhem of the assault.
And yet no one believed Sarah Connor that there was an unstoppable android walking around from the future
I've never noticed the 2:59 shot before. But doesn't he shatter the window by hitting it with his elbow? Right near the left edge of the glass, a hole appears. It's one of those Hollywood glasses that breaks easily. I mean the hole could be a bullet hole that slightly misses, but to me it seems more like Arnold hits it with his elbow
Never noticed that before 👍🏼
@@shredd5705I agree, although they do make it pretty clear the bullet hits him in the front with enough momentum to knock him back into the glass, which is pretty cool as well.
@@nerva-suicide not allowed
This movie is absolute perfection.
Alternative ending:
The T-800 mimics reese's voice to get sarah out of hiding then shoots her in the face
He hadn't heard Reece's voice yet so he couldn't imitate it.
@@forever-pk1hn He had in tech noir but people where probably screaming so he couldn’t hear it
He wouldn’t need to hear Reece’s voice, just needed to touch him (or anyone) for the voice
@@s8567. Uh pretty sure it didn't work that way.
@@forever-pk1hn It did. The T800s just need to touch someone in order to copy their voice. In T2 Arny copied John Connors voice on the phone to the T100 remember
One of the best shootouts in movie history, with a matching BG score. Probably is even better than the iconic scene from the movie Heat.
This is the very definition of shock and awe
4:35 That ending music it's the best ending detail as well. He walks out like nothing happened, a very cold, creepy and perfect assasin.
Yeah, I love how he just walks away like nothing instead of running after them. Still in pursuit, but not hot on target. He probably calculated a low probability rate of being able to catch up with them and just switched into a different mode of operation. All of that information implied in a 10 second shot, without spelling out a single thing for the audience. Real sophisticated story telling. Same thing when Reese and Sarah reunited just beforehand. They didn't say a single word to eachother, but they both knew exactly what time it was and so did the audience. It really elevated the strength of their connection in an instant.
"It can't be bargained with, it can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear; and it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead." Sargent Kyle Reese.
Never had a villain been so beloved and so feared at the same time.
No one can replicate the icy force of The Terminator on originality and no one ever will.
4:05 gotta love that synthesiser music!
The whole soundtrack is mostly synthesizer. But yes, that's a nice little sequence, an emotive contrast to the ongoing drone and more simple bass sequence as the T800 wipes out all life. The simplicity of it and it being in a major musical scale is what creates the contrast, but also the simplicity of the synth sound itself, it's always so striking.
The timbres of analog (subtractive) synthesizers are what the human ear seems to enjoy, yet what our minds find intriguing, hence why electronic music has been a big thing since 70s.
The way Arnold moves in close when he say "I'll be back reminds me of the old talking heads in Fallout 1 and 2 when you say something to piss them off.
Even as a young kid this scene... there was something different about it. The police station feels like a fortress, impenetrable to almost all threats and you start to feel like Sarah... maybe she is safe here and she'll be okay?
But, he'll be back.
I felt the same way when I first saw it
Well it is an infiltrator it's supposed to blend in and go behind enemy lines
and the hide in police station tactic wouldn't work in the second film because the killer robot is posing as a cop

It's crazy how many people had to die just to keep Sarah Connor alive.

@@Amadeus8484 I hope you didn’t watch Dark Fate..That movie pretty much gave the middle finger to Terminator 1 & 2.
One of the best scenes not only in this movie, but on all Terminator movies.
BLM could learn from this
Agreed
"All This Destruction without removing his sunglasses or disturbing on hair on his perfectly done hair" 😂😂
This scene broke the horror cliche where you think you would be safe with police. You would never see Jason Vorhees or Michael Meyers in a police station. Once you saw him destroy an entire police station, who knew how unstoppable he would be?
The only other time something like this happened in a horror flick was in Maniac Cop 2. Matt Cordell gave zero fucks. Then again, he was practically undead at that point.
Michael Myers killed an entire police station in Halloween 4
OtherWorlds AllWorlds no wrong movie, that’s number 5 I’m talking about number 4 return of Michael Myers, he 100% cleared a police station
Jason rampaged through a police station in the ninth Friday.... but no one wants to talk about it.
With good reason.
That’s cuz most horror movie villains are weak as shit and would get gunned down by the cops easily
This is so crispy and detailed i noticed for the first time ever at 1:32 the guy laying on the ground startled from the first burst. LOL
lol guess he’s playing dead to fool the T800!
Ehh, looks like a death twitch.
1:54 police officer is laughing
I want the Terminator movie to be dark and violent again...
Maaan i just want them to let this franchise rest in peace... the very next movie (except salvation maybe) is getting worse and worse...
If it's any consolation, the future will probably be dark and violent. You won't have to go to the theater to get your horror fix!
We all did, let it rest in pieces...
unfortunaly that's not going to happen because kids would be crying and saying mom i don't want to see that
YUNG LOS NORTHERN CALI the best Terminator is the 1st one for precisely this reason, the darkness, grittiness and sheer blood and gore.
If someone said “I’ll be back” in that creepy voice I would run the hell away
3:59 scary thing is this COULD have been the Terminator imitating Reese's voice...
it never heard Reese they need a sample to immitate...unless it somehow heard him 30 ft away when he said come with me if you want live
I said the SAME THING! Glad to see someone else noticed that he could copy voices.
I could have sworn Reese said/shouted something to Sarah when they were being chased through the alley, but I watched it again and he didn't. He doesn't look 30 feet away when he said "Come with me if you want to live" though, maybe 10-15 so the Terminator might have heard
@@MyoclonicJerkCough yes, that's true. All he needs to do is hear the voice and he can copy it. I think Kyle would have been close enough for the T-800 to hear and copy him.
I'm not sure Sarah knew that.
Great to see the T800 doing the job it was designed to do....
Yup. It was on Read-mode , that made it even more deadly.
Lucas Rainford no comic relief in this T800
@ what does that mean?
@Stabsoberbootsmann Franz I was thinking the same thing
He was made to kill and show no mercy.
Just imagine the damage he could have inflicted if he had a phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range...
@@Aetila No, it is 40-watt range - check the gun shop scene, @Spacegoat92 has it right...

Okay maybe I'm late to this, but has anyone ever noticed that the Terminator's walking sound is different from other people? If you listen closely the footsteps that silberman makes is just regular, nothing off about it. But the Terminator's footsteps sound like a metal clanging. This just goes to show how genius the sound design of this movie is, even for its low budget
