Anakin was not going to be an empty vessel willing to take on possession of the dark force.

One thing a lot of folks miss the first time watching is when Kyle tells her about the picture, and says he always wondered what she was thinking at that moment. Then at the end, we learn she was thinking about him. :) Always loved that. Great reaction.
Another thing I wonder if people catch on to, is when Kyle is being interrogated in the police station and he goes on saying "He will wade through you" just how prophetic those words ment. Because the terminator literally waded through the cops like they were just a shallow river. Nothing in that building could stop him Which just exemplifies the terrifying truth that behind all that flesh hair and blood, is a literal metal killing machine.

Cool reaction. Since you asked so many times why the Terminator doesn't have eyebrows : he had at first. But when Reese blew-up the car just when he and Sarah were leaving the dance-club, The Terminators was caught in the explosion and the eyebrows were burned. I strongly recommend you watch the sequel, Terminator 2 - Judgement Day, it's even better : more character development, better story, much better effects (actually when it came out in 1991, Terminator 2 had revolutionary effects, the very beginning of movie CGI). T2 is an all-time classic, IMHO it's the best action movie ever made
Yes, he is wearing little foam latex eyebrow blockers right after his face gets burned. It’s a very subtle stage of damage, before his face starts getting ripped up.
I like that James decided to be very realistic with it. But it makes him look so weird and off putting. If he would have left the eyebrows I doubt anyone would have thought anything of it.
@@Kanglar Even with Fury Road, T2 remain on top. Yes, Fury Road has great actrion sequences but T2 has something Fury Road doesn't have and very few action movies have : a message, a question. T2 asks us what makes us different from machines.

It's great to see someone react to these movies who goes in knowing no more than we did when we saw them in the theaters. I almost feel like I'm watching it again for the first time. You have to watch Terminator 2 now. It's one of the few sequels that's even better than the original. Other Arnold movies yo might want to check out are True Lies, Eraser, and Last Action Hero. If you're using the imdb list of best movies, at some point you have to watch #1, The Shawshank Redemption. It's one of the best movies ever made.
"I'll be back" is technically a Terminator 2 reference. But also it shows that the machines are smart enough to use conjunctions in their words. I.e. "I'll, we'll, we're."
It was so much fun finding someone who legitimately didn't know much about this movie. Other reactors have seen so many memes or other social media about movies that it seems like they've seen the movie. That was not the case with your reaction. If you're like this with all the other movies, I'm going to be coming back over and over. I really enjoyed your reaction. :)
You don’t talk too much or too fast for this. I love your summaries. Been binge watching your videos thru Christmas. I’ve watched a lot of reaction channels this year,…maybe too many. I am so impressed with yours. Your editing is perfect, I love your enthusiasm and that you get so many cultural references of my generation. Boombox, Mr. Rodgers, Black Sabbath’s Iron Man. So many, I am losing track. Also great that you go in blind, but you rewatch and research and touch on so many key things a lot of us were hoping you would notice. All of the above makes it rewarding watching with you. Oh, the wholesome nature is great too!! And so many good movie choices. I could go on.
Excellent reaction. These kinds of reactions with people who aren't really into watching movies as their main form of entertainment are the best. I see that this channel is starting with the reactions so I'll be watching for future ones.
One thing people tend to neglect to mention when talking about the Terminator movies is that aside from sci-fi action movies, they're also monster movies. The Terminator is a nigh-unstoppable force of destruction that leaves swathes of death in its wake and that no one can afford to ignore. The first Terminator movie does this best in my opinion, even if T2 might be a better film overall. There's nothing quite like the factory ending, seeing that metal skeleton rise out of the fire and slowly pursue its prey, unmoved by everything including the loss of half its body. Truly a terrifying spectacle. On another note, I'm glad you're diving into movies. I love television too, but there's something about the movies that has always been extra special to me. While it's true that longform storytelling is harder, many, many films can be just as rich as great TV, with nuanced, evocative storytelling that stays with you. Some of my favorite movies that I think would be worth checking out that may not be as common suggestions: Amadeus (1984, historical fiction- NOT a biopic- about Mozart and Salieri, with naturally phenomenal music); Double Indemnity (1944, classic noir with brilliant dialogue and perhaps the most archetypal femme fatale in film); The Lion in Winter (1968, historical fiction play adaptation with absolutely brilliant acting from one of the strongest ensembles you'll ever see); Dr. Strangelove (1964, dark comedy about the absurd politics of nuclear war and also Peter Sellers playing three people); Pan's Labyrinth (2006, Spanish language dark fairy tale set during the Spanish Civil War); Mel Brook's three best comedies The Producers (1967), Blazing Saddles (1974- maybe watch this on your own time and don't react to it, and read up on the history of the movie to understand the context behind it), and Young Frankenstein (1974), all hilariously witty; Network (1976, prescient story about showbiz and capitalism with one of the best screenplays ever and ANOTHER of the best acting ensembles you'll ever see); Once Upon a Time in the West (1968, melancholy spaghetti western about the demise of the Old West as the frontier is captured by industry, and one of the most chilling villain performances you'll see from classic good guy actor Henry Fonda)... and many more. This however is the primer I give to everyone who wants a crash course in the greatest cinema of all time, just to touch the base foundations: The Godfather Part I, Seven Samurai, Citizen Kane, Psycho, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Star Wars 1977, Bambi (any of the first few Disney movies work, but I think this is the best of them, along with Fantasia, which is a more abstract watch), The Wizard of Oz. Those eight movies encompass a very wide range of cinema history and are all hugely influential in their own right, and they all hold up incredibly well.
Agreed. The sequels and surrounding material always felt a little to interested in the 'face' of the Terminator. The original on the other hand has a bit of a 'Monster Movie' vibe. By the end of the film it's just a metal skeleton... exactly as dangerous as before but more terrifying (you know like... for the time) and I sort of wish the sequels could recapture that instead of just always going for the big action set piece of Arnold vs some other human looking terminator or other.
It'll be interesting watching your Arnold journey: all the movies you mentioned, like "Kindergarten Cop" or "Jingle All the Way" were later in his career after he had established himself as a Badass. Part of the appeal of them was seeing the quintessential tough guy in silly roles, but you get to see a comedic actor suddenly turn tough guy...
I hope you keep doing more reactions! This was great. I also love that you went back over things during editing before giving your final thoughts. That allowed you to catch some details you had missed before. There are SO many movies I'd love to see your reactions to. And don't be afraid to react to movies that a lot of other channels have reacted to: they're popular for very good reasons! ;)
Your funny and quirky and you make me smile, the only downside so far to finding your channel is there is only one other movie to watch lol. And your, "I'll be back" at the end was pretty good considering your not a middle aged Austrian man lmao.
Yes, Arnold started the movie with eyebrows. Remember when they ran out of the Tech Noir club, Reese shot a parked car’s gas tank and it exploded… the Terminator ran through the fire before jumping on the hood of their car… singeing his eyebrows off.
That was fun, glad you enjoyed it. Terminator 1 and 2 are my favorite movies, more so with 2, but this first one blew it out of the water, created something so memorable and solid. I even created a comedy series entitled Reversed Reviews, where I watch movies backward while narrating a new comedic plot. The first 2 episodes were on T1 and T2.
Yep. Arnold's Terminator loses his eyebrows in the fireball/explosion in their initial escape. Thus begins process of The Terminator losing his human facade piece by piece. The physical illusion falls apart and literally dies (the skin is dead; it's why that fly lands on him and doesn't move and the Janitor asks him what smells so bad; he's rotting like a corpse) as it's behavior becomes more obviously inhuman. Until all "humanity" is stripped away, all attempt at infiltration is abandoned, and it's just another movie monster chasing the heroes. Classic visual storytelling, one of many reasons everyone loves this film so much. And the eyeball scene gets to everybody ;). Every reaction video I've ever seen for this film, and the reactor squicks out over the eyeball surgery every time.
This movie was the first one that made me say "Oh, now I know what a director does. Now I can see the difference between a bad director and a good one."
One of the great writing points of this franchise is that every movie changes the future from what was previously known. It future proofs all the inaccurate details and dates, because it all constantly shifts anyway.
Ben hurr 1959 needs to be on your list if its not, one of the greatest films of all time it won 11 academy awards including best picture and best lead actor. No other film has won more.
No need to change. You are fun to watch movies with just as you are. You are someone I would try to be friends with if I encountered you how I did the people I am now friends with. You have a personality fit for a reaction channel, or any channel for that matter
This is one of the great sci-fi movies of the 80's. It put Arnold on the map as a big film actor. It was the start of a huge franchise. Glad you really enjoyed it. Join the club. I love the parts where Kyle talks to the doctor at the precinct & to Sarah about the terminator. He's so serious when he tells them that it can't be reasoned with, it doesn't feel pain or pity or remorse & it will not stop until she's DEAD ! He makes it clear that anyone who crosses it is fucked ! Terminators don't give a damn ! We all learn that. Hopefully SKYNET doesn't become a reality. Continue with the franchise, 6 total. I'll be back to watch you watch part 2.
This is a very good chanel. You put a lot of work into your "reviews". And its realy interesting to see, and hear, how you, as a young person, experience this old classics. Great work. and of course: Im an instant subscriber!
A couple of things to look out for if you found some of the themes and actors interesting. Linda Hamilton was also in a show called Beauty and the Beast in the late 80s, with Ron Perlman. The time travel angle on a guy who looks for love can also be found in a movie from 1980 with Christopher Reeve called Somewhere in Time. Also, just for trivia, pay attention to the fact that Lance Henriksen and Bill Paxton got killed by a Terminator in this movie. They also have the distinction of also being killed by an Alien and a Predator.
Superb. Keep going, absolutely rocking it. You have a natural screen presence & your reactions to the older movies are golden. Monty Python & The Holy Grail with the ongoing coconut gag. 😅
This was Arnold’s breakout movie role. Prior to this he was well-known as a bodybuilder and had acted in a few movies that didn’t really go anywhere. He didn’t have high hopes for this film either, thinking it was just going to be another B-movie, but it was a smash hit at the box office and kicked off his career as a leading man. At one time they had considered having Arnold play Kyle and OJ Simpson as the Terminator, but didn’t think OJ would be believable as a cold blooded killer 😂.
This was James Cameron's first big movie. His 1980's-1990's films make a good series to watch, tracking the progression of special FX tech. He likes to use actors that he is comfortable with so you see a lot of the same actors in his films. "The Terminator" (1984) "Aliens" (1986) sequel to Ridley Scott's "Alien" (1979) "The Abyss" (1989) first use ever of CGI in films "Terminator 2" (1991) first CGI character ever in films, first use of morphing "True Lies" (1994) excellent mixing of traditional physical FX, practical FX, optical FX, optial matting, digital matting, and new digital compositing techniques.
The clamoring for a Terminator 2 reaction has begun . I think I shall join ... , it is the bookend for this story after all . :) For movies about robots, these movies are very human , triumphs and flaws and all . And while I'm sure others have already mentioned that Terminator 2 is considered to be one of the best action movies of all time -- the haunting melody that the both movies carry both in the main theme and occasionally in the movie is also something quite memorable, as the numerous recreations across UA-cam show . Example: ua-cam.com/video/ba9AeUMjoBo/v-deo.html Enjoy !
This is the first reaction of yours that I've watched and I really loved it! You had so many fun lines. My favourite was, "don't worry guys. It's just a super-intelligent, indestructible robot. It'll be fine." :D It sounds like you've already seen a lot of Arnold's comedy era in the 90s, so it'll be cool if you continue to watch more of his action star era from the 80s.
Remember, the story ends with Terminator 2. There are no more movies in the franchise after that. Terminator 2 was the last Terminator movie that was ever made. The. End.
Science fiction 101: Never ask "What's going on" - the story will unfold and you will learn when (and what) the writer thinks you need to know. Now go on to T2. And I love your eyes and smile! So cute.
I always thought it was touching that Kyle always wondered what she was thinking about in that picture… turns out she was thinking of him… and he hadn’t even been born yet
James Cameron (like many other directors) likes to work with the same actors in his movies. Bill Paxton (spiked hair guy at the beginning), Lance Hendricksen, and Michael Biehn (Reese) are in Aliens. I'm sure that someone has already commented that Bill Paxton has been killed by a Terminator, an Alien, and a Predator.
Y’know, I like watching reactions, and usually I see an early twentysomething and move on but you’re very intelligent, funny and perceptive. Subbed. I was about six years old when this movie dropped on VHS and those red eyes gave me nightmares for about a year. The shit my parents used to let me watch. So different to what my kids watch now.
Loved your point at the end when you said you prefer shows because they can do more character development. The really good movies can do it too. At least enough to actually understand and care about the characters and their motivations.
For some reason I find it so hard to believe all these UA-camrs that do these movie reviews, have NEVER seen these huge pop-culture movies. Maybe because I see today with how easy it is for everyone to find just about anything on the internet, which is also on their phones that they carry everywhere. When I was growing up, there was no internet so we played outside, did sports, watched tv, or went to the movies, that pretty much sums it up, and I grew up watching all these movies at the theaters, which takes up more time to go and watch, then sitting at home matching. I mostly don't get how some people haven't watched the movies where all the pop references come from. There are cartoons that even bring up these movies over and over again. I couldn't imagine not understanding references everyone was talking about.
I started my new job 4 months ago and there are people working there that are younger and older then me and none of them ever heard of The Terminator. I first saw the movie in 1994 when i was 8 years old. Still my favorit and since then i have watched it 256 times never gets old.
This was Schwarzenegger's 3rd film. The 1st 2, "Conan The Barbarian" (1982) and "Conan The Destroyer" (1983) were based on a series of fantasy books from the 1920's & 1930's by Robert E. Howard.
I know some have said to watch the special edition of Terminator 2, but I cannot make it clear enough that the best version to watch of T2 is the theatrical release, if you can get your hands on the straight up theatrical it is by far the best edit and overall edition of that film. The others add scenes that throw off the storytelling, it's fine to watch those later but it shouldn't be your first viewing. k thx bai
Great reaction! I hope you keep doing these classics! "Holy Grail" was fun too! I see you are HUGE on TikTok, are you going to keep doing those? Maybe move some of those here as "shorts"? You are a gifted creator and I will keep watching.👍👍😉
I think the "criminal psychologist" is a great character, how he thinks kyle is so crazy that the case will be his big break...lets just say he know the deal in terminator 2 :)
new to the channel but I really like your energy and enjoy your reactions I know you are only going to get better and better with practice and am looking forward to seeing your grow keep it up :)
The store owner wasn't saying he couldn't have the gun for 7 days when the Terminator said "Wrong." It was because the terminator was loading his gun in the shop. #BallisticDiscount
Not only was that the picture at the end, but if you recall earlier in the movie, Reese said he had always wondered what she was thinking about in that moment. And it turns out...she was thinking about him. :) Always liked that.
I'll be back is an Armold-ism he worked into many of his movies, but this was one of his earlier efforts. The 80's music is typical of the time the movie was made as the music industry wasn't cool with lending the actual music, so it tended to be unknown stuff or bad covers. He had eyebrows. They got burned off right after the nightclub scene.
Such a great reaction. Show me your eye.... Never mind! xD From what you said and your reactions you seem to have been sheltered (at least about movies). But that also mean you can discover the treasure trove of great movies you still can see for the first time. So far I really enjoyed your reactions, subscribed. Keep up the good work!
If you are eagle eyed and pause at just the right moment, you can see Kyle Reese's stunt double in the factory at the moment he is getting smacked by the terminator. I discovered this by accident and said to myself "why does Reese look like Jean Claude Van Damme?"
Our band has an album inspired by the real life Tiki Motel that's featured in the Terminator. The whole street level vibe of the film is so atmospheric and real.
I really enjoyed the reaction. I lot of people like Terminator 2, but my personal favorite was the first Terminator movie. Great reaction video. You got yourself a new subscriber.
kyle even said 'i always wondered what you were thinking about in that moment' - she was actually thinking of him... pretty beautiful little detail that you dont usually see the first time through
I just saw this movie for the first time and didn't catch that. Now that you pointed it out, it broke my heart.
The part where Sarah says "On your feet Soldier!" is a tiny glimpse of the beginnings of her becoming the total badass legend that she ends up as.
I hate to say it, but I thought it was something she had seen in movies and was the only thing she could remember that might actually help.
You spotted my favorite part, how Kyle fell in love with Sarah while looking at a picture of Sarah taken when she was thinking about how much she loved Kyle.
Full Circle.

It's great to see someone react to these movies who goes in knowing no more than we did when we saw them in the theaters. I almost feel like I'm watching it again for the first time. You have to watch Terminator 2 now. It's one of the few sequels that's even better than the original. Other Arnold movies yo might want to check out are True Lies, Eraser, and Last Action Hero. If you're using the imdb list of best movies, at some point you have to watch #1, The Shawshank Redemption. It's one of the best movies ever made.
"I'll be back" is technically a Terminator 2 reference. But also it shows that the machines are smart enough to use conjunctions in their words. I.e. "I'll, we'll, we're."
It was so much fun finding someone who legitimately didn't know much about this movie. Other reactors have seen so many memes or other social media about movies that it seems like they've seen the movie. That was not the case with your reaction. If you're like this with all the other movies, I'm going to be coming back over and over. I really enjoyed your reaction. :)
"At least they'll be safe in jail."
Knowing what was about to happen, I chuckled, lol.
You don’t talk too much or too fast for this. I love your summaries. Been binge watching your videos thru Christmas. I’ve watched a lot of reaction channels this year,…maybe too many. I am so impressed with yours. Your editing is perfect, I love your enthusiasm and that you get so many cultural references of my generation. Boombox, Mr. Rodgers, Black Sabbath’s Iron Man. So many, I am losing track. Also great that you go in blind, but you rewatch and research and touch on so many key things a lot of us were hoping you would notice. All of the above makes it rewarding watching with you. Oh, the wholesome nature is great too!! And so many good movie choices. I could go on.
Thanks!
Way to go Whimsory, we need more reactors like you.
OMG!! Thank you so much!!!☺️
"Where's your helmet?"... May I present you: The Eighties
One of my favorite parts is the picture. He always wondered what she was thinking about in that moment. She was thinking about him.
I got to meet Micheal Biehn at a Comic-Con. He was so cool and down to earth. This is definitely his best role.
Excellent reaction. These kinds of reactions with people who aren't really into watching movies as their main form of entertainment are the best.
I see that this channel is starting with the reactions so I'll be watching for future ones.
One thing people tend to neglect to mention when talking about the Terminator movies is that aside from sci-fi action movies, they're also monster movies. The Terminator is a nigh-unstoppable force of destruction that leaves swathes of death in its wake and that no one can afford to ignore. The first Terminator movie does this best in my opinion, even if T2 might be a better film overall. There's nothing quite like the factory ending, seeing that metal skeleton rise out of the fire and slowly pursue its prey, unmoved by everything including the loss of half its body. Truly a terrifying spectacle.
On another note, I'm glad you're diving into movies. I love television too, but there's something about the movies that has always been extra special to me. While it's true that longform storytelling is harder, many, many films can be just as rich as great TV, with nuanced, evocative storytelling that stays with you.
Some of my favorite movies that I think would be worth checking out that may not be as common suggestions: Amadeus (1984, historical fiction- NOT a biopic- about Mozart and Salieri, with naturally phenomenal music); Double Indemnity (1944, classic noir with brilliant dialogue and perhaps the most archetypal femme fatale in film); The Lion in Winter (1968, historical fiction play adaptation with absolutely brilliant acting from one of the strongest ensembles you'll ever see); Dr. Strangelove (1964, dark comedy about the absurd politics of nuclear war and also Peter Sellers playing three people); Pan's Labyrinth (2006, Spanish language dark fairy tale set during the Spanish Civil War); Mel Brook's three best comedies The Producers (1967), Blazing Saddles (1974- maybe watch this on your own time and don't react to it, and read up on the history of the movie to understand the context behind it), and Young Frankenstein (1974), all hilariously witty; Network (1976, prescient story about showbiz and capitalism with one of the best screenplays ever and ANOTHER of the best acting ensembles you'll ever see); Once Upon a Time in the West (1968, melancholy spaghetti western about the demise of the Old West as the frontier is captured by industry, and one of the most chilling villain performances you'll see from classic good guy actor Henry Fonda)... and many more.
This however is the primer I give to everyone who wants a crash course in the greatest cinema of all time, just to touch the base foundations: The Godfather Part I, Seven Samurai, Citizen Kane, Psycho, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Star Wars 1977, Bambi (any of the first few Disney movies work, but I think this is the best of them, along with Fantasia, which is a more abstract watch), The Wizard of Oz. Those eight movies encompass a very wide range of cinema history and are all hugely influential in their own right, and they all hold up incredibly well.
Agreed. The sequels and surrounding material always felt a little to interested in the 'face' of the Terminator. The original on the other hand has a bit of a 'Monster Movie' vibe. By the end of the film it's just a metal skeleton... exactly as dangerous as before but more terrifying (you know like... for the time) and I sort of wish the sequels could recapture that instead of just always going for the big action set piece of Arnold vs some other human looking terminator or other.
Always brings me joy to see people watching amazing 80s movies for the first time :)
It'll be interesting watching your Arnold journey: all the movies you mentioned, like "Kindergarten Cop" or "Jingle All the Way" were later in his career after he had established himself as a Badass. Part of the appeal of them was seeing the quintessential tough guy in silly roles, but you get to see a comedic actor suddenly turn tough guy...
I hope you keep doing more reactions! This was great. I also love that you went back over things during editing before giving your final thoughts. That allowed you to catch some details you had missed before. There are SO many movies I'd love to see your reactions to. And don't be afraid to react to movies that a lot of other channels have reacted to: they're popular for very good reasons! ;)
Your funny and quirky and you make me smile, the only downside so far to finding your channel is there is only one other movie to watch lol.
And your, "I'll be back" at the end was pretty good considering your not a middle aged Austrian man lmao.
I couldn't stop laughing when you swayed your arms around saying I can't do it. LOL
If by "the next one" you mean Terminator 2 I promise you'll have even fewer bad things to say about it. 😉
Yes, Arnold started the movie with eyebrows. Remember when they ran out of the Tech Noir club, Reese shot a parked car’s gas tank and it exploded… the Terminator ran through the fire before jumping on the hood of their car… singeing his eyebrows off.
I was a teenager in the 80s and can confirm that the music was great. Such an optimistic decade
15:48 "At least for once he didn't kill anybody".
Perfect timing literally seconds before he kills a couple dozen somebodies.
Imagine being a first responder or crime scene investigator, and here's this robot skeleton ...
That was fun, glad you enjoyed it.
Terminator 1 and 2 are my favorite movies, more so with 2, but this first one blew it out of the water, created something so memorable and solid.
I even created a comedy series entitled Reversed Reviews, where I watch movies backward while narrating a new comedic plot. The first 2 episodes were on T1 and T2.
Reacting to Terminator 2 is also a must. T1 and T2 are among best movies ever.
He lost his eyebrows when he ran thru the flame on jumped on the car in the alley. Liked how you chuckled when Kyle said “about what?”
Yep. Arnold's Terminator loses his eyebrows in the fireball/explosion in their initial escape. Thus begins process of The Terminator losing his human facade piece by piece. The physical illusion falls apart and literally dies (the skin is dead; it's why that fly lands on him and doesn't move and the Janitor asks him what smells so bad; he's rotting like a corpse) as it's behavior becomes more obviously inhuman. Until all "humanity" is stripped away, all attempt at infiltration is abandoned, and it's just another movie monster chasing the heroes. Classic visual storytelling, one of many reasons everyone loves this film so much.
And the eyeball scene gets to everybody ;). Every reaction video I've ever seen for this film, and the reactor squicks out over the eyeball surgery every time.
Jingle All the Way is a Masterpiece
This movie was the first one that made me say "Oh, now I know what a director does. Now I can see the difference between a bad director and a good one."
Funny you've watch Arnold in his comedies but not his action stuff. T2, True Lies and Last Action Hero are must see movies.
One of the great writing points of this franchise is that every movie changes the future from what was previously known. It future proofs all the inaccurate details and dates, because it all constantly shifts anyway.
Ben hurr 1959 needs to be on your list if its not, one of the greatest films of all time it won 11 academy awards including best picture and best lead actor. No other film has won more.
That's not a dream, that's how Reece got the scars on his back. >7:06 Classic character development. They don't make 'em like this anymore.
give my word that I will not judge you and always look forward to many of these videos on movies .
No need to change. You are fun to watch movies with just as you are. You are someone I would try to be friends with if I encountered you how I did the people I am now friends with. You have a personality fit for a reaction channel, or any channel for that matter
This is one of the great sci-fi movies of the 80's. It put Arnold on the map as a big film actor. It was the start of a huge franchise. Glad you really enjoyed it. Join the club. I love the parts where Kyle talks to the doctor at the precinct & to Sarah about the terminator. He's so serious when he tells them that it can't be reasoned with, it doesn't feel pain or pity or remorse & it will not stop until she's DEAD ! He makes it clear that anyone who crosses it is fucked ! Terminators don't give a damn ! We all learn that. Hopefully SKYNET doesn't become a reality.
Continue with the franchise, 6 total.
I'll be back to watch you watch part 2.
This is a very good chanel. You put a lot of work into your "reviews". And its realy interesting to see, and hear, how you, as a young person, experience this old classics. Great work. and of course: Im an instant subscriber!
A couple of things to look out for if you found some of the themes and actors interesting. Linda Hamilton was also in a show called Beauty and the Beast in the late 80s, with Ron Perlman. The time travel angle on a guy who looks for love can also be found in a movie from 1980 with Christopher Reeve called Somewhere in Time. Also, just for trivia, pay attention to the fact that Lance Henriksen and Bill Paxton got killed by a Terminator in this movie. They also have the distinction of also being killed by an Alien and a Predator.
Superb. Keep going, absolutely rocking it. You have a natural screen presence & your reactions to the older movies are golden. Monty Python & The Holy Grail with the ongoing coconut gag. 😅
A rare great sequel is waiting your reaction someday! I like that you do your review after you’ve done the rough edit…no other reactor does this!!!
Jingle all the way and kindergarten cop are the perfect Arnold movies to really set up the vibe of terminator movies lmao
This was Arnold’s breakout movie role. Prior to this he was well-known as a bodybuilder and had acted in a few movies that didn’t really go anywhere. He didn’t have high hopes for this film either, thinking it was just going to be another B-movie, but it was a smash hit at the box office and kicked off his career as a leading man.
At one time they had considered having Arnold play Kyle and OJ Simpson as the Terminator, but didn’t think OJ would be believable as a cold blooded killer 😂.
This was James Cameron's first big movie. His 1980's-1990's films make a good series to watch, tracking the progression of special FX tech. He likes to use actors that he is comfortable with so you see a lot of the same actors in his films.
"The Terminator" (1984)
"Aliens" (1986) sequel to Ridley Scott's "Alien" (1979)
"The Abyss" (1989) first use ever of CGI in films
"Terminator 2" (1991) first CGI character ever in films, first use of morphing
"True Lies" (1994) excellent mixing of traditional physical FX, practical FX, optical FX, optial matting, digital matting, and new digital compositing techniques.
The clamoring for a Terminator 2 reaction has begun .
I think I shall join ... , it is the bookend for this story after all . :)
For movies about robots, these movies are very human , triumphs and flaws and all .
And while I'm sure others have already mentioned that Terminator 2 is considered to be one of the best action movies of all time -- the haunting melody that the both movies carry both in the main theme and occasionally in the movie is also something quite memorable, as the numerous recreations across UA-cam show .
Example:
ua-cam.com/video/ba9AeUMjoBo/v-deo.html
Enjoy !
T2 wasn't a patch on this masterpiece.....
This is the first reaction of yours that I've watched and I really loved it! You had so many fun lines. My favourite was, "don't worry guys. It's just a super-intelligent, indestructible robot. It'll be fine." :D
It sounds like you've already seen a lot of Arnold's comedy era in the 90s, so it'll be cool if you continue to watch more of his action star era from the 80s.
I've just now realised that the only reason for T to get a gun with a laser sight is so the director can have shots of people with red dots on them.
Those are the phased plasma rifles in the 30 watt range that the Terminator asked for in the store.
Remember, the story ends with Terminator 2. There are no more movies in the franchise after that. Terminator 2 was the last Terminator movie that was ever made. The. End.
Science fiction 101: Never ask "What's going on" - the story will unfold and you will learn when (and what) the writer thinks you need to know. Now go on to T2.
And I love your eyes and smile! So cute.
"Where's Your Helmet,Miss?"
This movie's set in Los Angeles, California
California has a helmet optional law
Fun fact for kindergarten cop. If you've ever played silent hill on the ps1, the school is based off of the one in that movie.
I always thought it was touching that Kyle always wondered what she was thinking about in that picture… turns out she was thinking of him… and he hadn’t even been born yet
James Cameron (like many other directors) likes to work with the same actors in his movies. Bill Paxton (spiked hair guy at the beginning), Lance Hendricksen, and Michael Biehn (Reese) are in Aliens. I'm sure that someone has already commented that Bill Paxton has been killed by a Terminator, an Alien, and a Predator.
Y’know, I like watching reactions, and usually I see an early twentysomething and move on but you’re very intelligent, funny and perceptive. Subbed.
I was about six years old when this movie dropped on VHS and those red eyes gave me nightmares for about a year. The shit my parents used to let me watch. So different to what my kids watch now.
I generally don't care for sequels but "Terminator 2" is on a whole new level.
She is so nice with her intro love it.
Loved your point at the end when you said you prefer shows because they can do more character development. The really good movies can do it too. At least enough to actually understand and care about the characters and their motivations.
14:46
Красавица,нечестно не смотреть!
Мы ведь смотрим ради реакции,а ты отворачиваешься!
For some reason I find it so hard to believe all these UA-camrs that do these movie reviews, have NEVER seen these huge pop-culture movies. Maybe because I see today with how easy it is for everyone to find just about anything on the internet, which is also on their phones that they carry everywhere. When I was growing up, there was no internet so we played outside, did sports, watched tv, or went to the movies, that pretty much sums it up, and I grew up watching all these movies at the theaters, which takes up more time to go and watch, then sitting at home matching. I mostly don't get how some people haven't watched the movies where all the pop references come from. There are cartoons that even bring up these movies over and over again. I couldn't imagine not understanding references everyone was talking about.
I started my new job 4 months ago and there are people working there that are younger and older then me and none of them ever heard of The Terminator. I first saw the movie in 1994 when i was 8 years old. Still my favorit and since then i have watched it 256 times never gets old.
This was Schwarzenegger's 3rd film. The 1st 2, "Conan The Barbarian" (1982) and "Conan The Destroyer" (1983) were based on a series of fantasy books from the 1920's & 1930's by Robert E. Howard.
I know some have said to watch the special edition of Terminator 2, but I cannot make it clear enough that the best version to watch of T2 is the theatrical release, if you can get your hands on the straight up theatrical it is by far the best edit and overall edition of that film. The others add scenes that throw off the storytelling, it's fine to watch those later but it shouldn't be your first viewing. k thx bai
Totally agree and was gonna say the same.
Great reaction! I hope you keep doing these classics! "Holy Grail" was fun too! I see you are HUGE on TikTok, are you going to keep doing those? Maybe move some of those here as "shorts"? You are a gifted creator and I will keep watching.👍👍😉
I think the "criminal psychologist" is a great character, how he thinks kyle is so crazy that the case will be his big break...lets just say he know the deal in terminator 2 :)
You: "I'll find something bad to say in the next one."
Us: "Wanna bet?"
new to the channel but I really like your energy and enjoy your reactions I know you are only going to get better and better with practice and am looking forward to seeing your grow keep it up :)
I enjoy your Reaction! The way you are - don't ever Change - I love it!!
The store owner wasn't saying he couldn't have the gun for 7 days when the Terminator said "Wrong." It was because the terminator was loading his gun in the shop. #BallisticDiscount
If you keep with the 80s, you're in for a treat! Maybe the best decade for action cinema!
Not only was that the picture at the end, but if you recall earlier in the movie, Reese said he had always wondered what she was thinking about in that moment. And it turns out...she was thinking about him. :) Always liked that.
I do not judge you but I will admit that when Arnold takes his eye out I whispered "Wimpsory" to myself.
PS - Liked and Subbed. Great reaction.
I'll be back is an Armold-ism he worked into many of his movies, but this was one of his earlier efforts. The 80's music is typical of the time the movie was made as the music industry wasn't cool with lending the actual music, so it tended to be unknown stuff or bad covers. He had eyebrows. They got burned off right after the nightclub scene.
I just found your channel today and I love your videos! You seem really sweet and I loved your appreciation to the film and the small details!
T2 is one of those rare times a sequel is thought of as better then the 1st film.
hands down this best reaction to this movie
Such a great reaction. Show me your eye.... Never mind! xD
From what you said and your reactions you seem to have been sheltered (at least about movies). But that also mean you can discover the treasure trove of great movies you still can see for the first time. So far I really enjoyed your reactions, subscribed. Keep up the good work!
If you are eagle eyed and pause at just the right moment, you can see Kyle Reese's stunt double in the factory at the moment he is getting smacked by the terminator. I discovered this by accident and said to myself "why does Reese look like Jean Claude Van Damme?"
After the shootout in TechNoir, the T-101 chases Kyle and Sarah. It climbs over a car engulfed in flame, burning its eyebrows off.
Kyle wondered what she was thinking about when that picture was taken. She was thinking about him although he never knew it.
This was back when helmets were not required in Cali. Them Nike's are the same ones Marty wore in Back to the Future.
Our band has an album inspired by the real life Tiki Motel that's featured in the Terminator.
The whole street level vibe of the film is so atmospheric and real.
I really enjoyed the reaction. I lot of people like Terminator 2, but my personal favorite was the first Terminator movie. Great reaction video. You got yourself a new subscriber.
"Criminal psychologist" (YAWNS) Lol!
This is already a great movie, and T2 is so much better it'll melt your brain. This channel is fun, nice to see someone new take off!
