Micheal Biehn's performances as Kyle Reese and Corporal Hicks had a big impact on me. I had to be 8 years old when I first watched "The Terminator" and "Aliens." It was Kyle Reese who was an example of what a man should be with those he loves. Corporal Hicks is who inspired me to earn the title of Marine and what a good Marine should be.
James Cameron strikes me as a guy who doesn't mince his words. He's direct, blunt, efficient. Some people can accept that and work with it, and some just can't and would rather the director praise them all day long.
I met this man at a comic con in New Orleans along with his wife. Very nice guy. I enjoyed meeting him. Autographed a photo of himself as Johnny Ringo.
Michael is my favorite actor from the 1980s, this guy created some iconic roles in Terminator and Aliens. He was also amazing in the Abyss and Tombstone, every movie he was in was by far the better for it.
Michael thanks for your great channel. First video l saw, l didn't recognize Luther with hair, glasses & beard ! Great to see Micheal Biehn on here, l've always admired his work, completely charismatic !
Michael Biehn is thee man💪🏻 I’d luv to hear more about Powers Boothe in Tombstone.💙💙 Michael Biehn & Powers Boothe was a helluva team. Luv Luv Luv those guys🥰
Surprised didn’t mention the Cameron blow-up on Titanic that was in the press and talked about by Kate Winslet - him yelling at the worker who didn’t release the hallway floodwater on time causing a long delay.
I think there were a lot of blowups during that production. To a lot of people working on it, especially Cameron, it felt like a doomed production and he might never direct again. Everyone was predicting it to fail and the pressure was insane.
Arnold has told a story of being yelled at by Cameron during the first Terminator movie ("Read the fucking line, Arnold!"), so I can believe he would do it again. I mean when you're a scrawny shaggy-haired dude from Canada with big enough balls to get mad at the Austrian Oak, I can see you doing pretty much anything. lol
Arnold had a similar work ethic, so I think he fully understood the relentless drive for perfectionism and didn't take it personally. The best possible end product is the goal.
That's a hell of a story he describes when Arnold is late onset of True Lies - impressions:James Cameron,Tom Arnold and Arnold Schwarzenegger👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 well done
Biehn is such a good actor. He was superb playing the hero characters of Reese in The Terminator and Hicks in Aliens, but equally as good and believable playing the bad guys in The Fan, The Abyss and Tombstone. He also showed he could adapt by playing a cocky arrogant guy in K2.
Had a job offer in the late 90's to do personal protection for James Cameron. Everything Michael is saying is true. Jim is an end of the world mentality. Has a ranch in Santa Barbara with a barn the size of a super Walmart fully stocked with ammo, armored vehicles, medicine for everyone that works for him. His brother runs his security and is an odd dude. They dress up and play D&D for real.
@@yellowblanka6058 Yeah, right. I love the mentality, if it's written on you tube it's impossible to be true, while in real life, daily absolutely ridiculous things do happen.
The cast of Abyss I think would disagree...he hid the air tank on a few of them for realism, including Ed Harris who was pretty pissed off. Pretty sure a lot of them would say bad things about Jim Cameron.
Always wanted to ask if Cameron used to drive a white 1985 Mazda RX-7 - in 1986 this was in his space at the Fox Art Dept. Bungalow so I went in and asked the girls working on Aliens posters “is Jim Cameron around?” - they said no but I always wondered.
We need this man back in another Alien movie or something. It was so disappointing to hear that Alien movie get canceled that he was rumoured to be in.
Why didn’t he continue in Cameron movies? He was good in that Charlie sheen vehicle, he disappeared as the 90s went on, does he say why (at least from A roles).
Listen And Understand That Terminator Is Out There. 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.
I could see anyone getting mad at Tom Arnold especially a director and I heard he was there because Arnold was friends with him Cameron probably wouldn’t have casted him
An easy mistake to make as someone who has done so many interviews as MR has. He got it first hand in the sense of someone who was actually there at the incident. He is thinking in the sense, he interviewed someone who was really there.
Yeah it's kinda depressing seeing my favourite actors like Michael (and Bruce Willis) succumbing to age. Having said that, watching the whole interview is worth it, he's talks about bill paxton and there are some other funny moments
Including himself. His oxygen mask failed and he had to punch the safety diver to break free and swim to the surface. That production was a total nightmare; ambition exceeding grasp. It's hard to argue with the results though. The performances he got from those actors are among the best and most memorable of their careers.
Terminator, the very first, is untouchable. I despise all of the movies after that... including T2. Terminator was nightmarish. It was devastating. It was heart breaking. It was dark. It set me off when I was a kid. I talked about that movie constantly. I pissed off a lot of people because I wouldn't stop talking about it. Every Terminator movie after that got lighter and lighter. While the action was always there the threat and danger was missing. Biehn was brilliant. He was unstable. He was quick. But, he gave that character heart. No one can replace him as Reese. No one.
Cameron is a solid director but I've also heard he's kind of a snob at times. Lol 😆 . Few months back I read a story some fans wanted an autograph and he said "F you" to them I hope this isn't true but you don't treat fans like that. I get some of these guys directors are passionate but I think there needs to be a level of respect between the directors and actors as well as the fans. Just my take. But yeah Biehn is awesome best Kyle Reese ever. Terminator easily one of my fav series ever at least the first 4 movies especially.
Such a class act. But I'm done with artists treating their staff like shit and then saying it's okay in the name of art. Bullshit. I love art but it shouldn't come before treating people with respect
If being blunt, hard working, and expecting the same of others is responsible for so many great movies, pay days and enduring respect from his cast who cares what a bunch of Woke cry babies think. Disney would beg to have a 1/8 of his talent.

It was Kyle Reese who was an example of what a man should be with those he loves. Corporal Hicks is who inspired me to earn the title of Marine and what a good Marine should be.
facts, the Terminator also inspired me to workout and join the military
great actor
Lol i thought it was just me, ooh-rah
It Michael biehn tht inspired me to travel back in time to save and have sex with Sarah Conner
Corporal Hicks inspired me to buy a pump shotgun. For any close encounters.
I'm ready for Biehn to return to Cameron movies.
Doesn't sound like he wants to
I was thinking that too, maybe he do another movie for nostalgias sake
I'd love to see him in Avatar 3
He can be a blue uncle...
Perhaps this time...he'll be casted as solid snake.
*Hint...hint...* 😉

Exactly. Actors are experience only 0.5% of what a typical boss is for the rest of the world and they get to tell their "horrible" story for life.
I met this man at a comic con in New Orleans along with his wife. Very nice guy. I enjoyed meeting him. Autographed a photo of himself as Johnny Ringo.
He's no Daisy at all!
@@SamuelPearlman 😂
Michael Biehn is one of my all-time fav actors.
Michael was right. Jim is one of rare people that is an expert on probably every job position on a movie set. Except acting.
Everyone who has worked with Cameron says the same thing: he is a singular talent that expects the best from everyone working with him.
Michael is my favorite actor from the 1980s, this guy created some iconic roles in Terminator and Aliens. He was also amazing in the Abyss and Tombstone, every movie he was in was by far the better for it.
Biehn is one of my all time fave actors!
Great actor love Aliens, very underrated actor
One of my all time favorite actors! Love him in The Seventh Sign!
The Rock
"I cannot give that order"
"I will not give that order"
...both foreign or domestic... he was the best part of that movie, can't rewatch it but I'm going to find the clip with his speech 👍🏾👍🏾
OMG! Can't believe you had him on! Love this guy! Looking forward to see the whole thing.
"Give me a f-ing line read and let's move on". Do more movies, we miss you.
I wouldn't have recognized him. He even sounds different. Glad to see hes still around and doing okay,
He had a stroke.
@@Fearfulodds I read that. I’m happy he recovered. Loved him in Aliens.
@@Fearfuloddsoh no 😞
We need Michael and Cameron working together again
He got a terribly miscast Edie Falco as a fkn general but not this guy or "SARAH CONNOR"?! (yeah yeah they used to be married, still).
Biehn is a legend.
Michael thanks for your great channel. First video l saw, l didn't recognize Luther with hair, glasses & beard !
Great to see Micheal Biehn on here, l've always admired his work, completely charismatic !
Michael Biehn is thee man💪🏻
I’d luv to hear more about Powers Boothe in Tombstone.💙💙
Michael Biehn & Powers Boothe was a helluva team. Luv Luv Luv those guys🥰
I really want to see Michael Biehn in another action movie.
He was in a few OK ones. The one with him in the bunker shows he didn't loose his edge. Solid fkn performance by him and 2 other dudes.
Michael Biehn is the best! THAT'S WHAT HE DOES!!!!! THAT'S ALL HE DOES!!!!! YOU CAN'T STOP HIM!!!!!! 😂💯💥💥
'I didn't build the fucking thing"

Yes when he said “I will be back,” and Jim said “What is in the script?” “It says “I’ll be back.”
"It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog."
Well his balls are not big anymore sadly as he had demonstrated how emasculated Cameron is nowdays....
Arnold had a similar work ethic, so I think he fully understood the relentless drive for perfectionism and didn't take it personally. The best possible end product is the goal.
He said something back to Arnold like " i don't question your acting so don't question my writing" lol
Terminator, Aliens, The Abyss, - be still my heart . For me one of THE actors of the 80s, utterly gorgeous in his day ❤
That's a hell of a story he describes when Arnold is late onset of True Lies - impressions:James Cameron,Tom Arnold and Arnold Schwarzenegger👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 well done
3:06 was a perfect response😂
"Is it first-hand?"
"Oh yeah! So Tom Arnold told me this story..."
Soooo not first-hand then
Wel, if Tom was there as purported ... its 1st hand.
@@rvog6584 Only if Tom himself is relating the story is it first-hand. If I'm quoting Tom, you're receiving a second-hand telling.

01:56 Great Arnold voice impersonation.
He deserved an Oscar nomination for The Abyss
Always wished he was in more and stoked when he pops up like in Planet Terror awesome !

Malibu, but the last 5 sentences are accurate
Lmfao😅
@@thatbrokevin7940 This is the TH-cam comments section, so there's an at best, 10% chance of anything anybody says being true.
@@yellowblanka6058 Yeah, right. I love the mentality, if it's written on you tube it's impossible to be true, while in real life, daily absolutely ridiculous things do happen.
James Cameron doesn't do what James Cameron does for James Cameron.
James Cameron does what James Cameron does because James Cameron is James Cameron!
🎵James! James Cameron! The greatest pioneer!🎵
Thank you for raising the bar.
Hope he reprises his role for Eli Roth's Thanksgiving
I would love for him to be a villain in the next Avatar movie! Or the next movie James does!
Couldn't agree less, on their line-reading points.
Michael make that call to Jim, it's an emergency. You want to play an RDA marine on Avatar 4 or 5.
PLEASE PLEASE try to get Arnold to sit down with you. That'd be a 3 hour pod cast.
DO IT, COME ON, DO IT NOW!
I had the biggest crush on Michael because of Reese and Hicks. My first celebrity crush.
Has an everyman charisma in two of those Cameron movies and then an unlikeable intensity in a few villain roles. Always been a fan
Incredible actor!!!!
Amazing interview like always❤
The cast of Abyss I think would disagree...he hid the air tank on a few of them for realism, including Ed Harris who was pretty pissed off. Pretty sure a lot of them would say bad things about Jim Cameron.
I've heard even today Ed Harris won't talk about The Abyss . Even though I think it's one of his best performances .
Correct. But Biehn was the only one who didn't complain on the set. 😁
The man made the queen in Aliens out of junk and trash bags but made it look sick!
Always wanted to ask if Cameron used to drive a white 1985 Mazda RX-7 - in 1986 this was in his space at the Fox Art Dept. Bungalow so I went in and asked the girls working on Aliens posters “is Jim Cameron around?” - they said no but I always wondered.
Michael is my top heroe since forever
Michael! Hope you are well!
My nephew was named Kyle after Biehn's character
That's so cool
I always liked his acting
I’ll be your huckleberry 😂
Tom Arnold has the best Hollywood stories.
Where can I find the whole interview
We need this man back in another Alien movie or something. It was so disappointing to hear that Alien movie get canceled that he was rumoured to be in.
He was the best
I LOVE HIM❤
Arnold Schwarzenegger was really late to a film set?? That's odd being he's known for a strong, professional work ethic.
I think that last bit he said about picking up the phone says a lot about James Cameron as a person
Rosie manages to get some of the BEST and INCREDIBLE guests for his podcasts.
Biehn and Cameron have to reteam for another flick come on
right on
I want that John Daker T-shirt.
He looks so different. I didn’t even recognize him.
I never understood why this guy didn't become the next Clint Eastwood.
Alcohol
Ohhhhhhh...
Michael Biehn is the best. You just know nobody’s fucking with him
Is the story first hand? Oh Yeah. Then proceeds to tell him a story he heard from from someone else about Cameron.
Aspergers blunt.
Its fancy assertiveness.
😅 it's a real nice way of saying Cameron is an asshole.😅 South Park nailed it.
Great stuff here. Sorry, but who is the host? He is good.
Why didn’t he continue in Cameron movies?
He was good in that Charlie sheen vehicle, he disappeared as the 90s went on, does he say why (at least from A roles).
Jim wanted to have him in Titanic and Avatar but choose someone else.
Listen And Understand That Terminator Is Out There. 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.
Cameron sounds a lot like Vince McMahon
Just with way more 4 letter words!!
Didn't James Cameron say that testosterone is a poison! LOL
James Cameron does what James Cameron does not for James Cameron. James Cameron does what James Cameron does because James Cameron is...James Cameron.
Johnny Ringo!
He was so good in Aliens. So GD tired of all the super hero kids movies.
Jim Cameron in the Early days put way to much pressure on himself
Calm down breath it's a marathon not a sprint
Could it be? That's him! James Cameron.
I could see anyone getting mad at Tom Arnold especially a director and I heard he was there because Arnold was friends with him Cameron probably wouldn’t have casted him
If Biehn isn't, at some point, in the Avatar series I will... Be very pissy at Cameron for missing the opportunity.
They shot The Abyss a few hours from my house. If I had known I would begged to intern, slept in my car, whatever it took. -sigh
Is that a black Indiana Jones? Ok the table?
I got one story, Is it firsthand? yeah, then tells a second hand story.
An easy mistake to make as someone who has done so many interviews as MR has. He got it first hand in the sense of someone who was actually there at the incident. He is thinking in the sense, he interviewed someone who was really there.
Is Biehn ok? Guy looks a little unsteady.
I'm pretty sure Michael is irritating him, he is interrupting alot with dumb shit like he is too excited that Biehn is there.
Had a major stroke
@@thepadster123 Ah damn! I knew he struggled with alcohol for years. I thought he had had another relapse with that. Damn shame ☹️☹️
Yeah it's kinda depressing seeing my favourite actors like Michael (and Bruce Willis) succumbing to age.
Having said that, watching the whole interview is worth it, he's talks about bill paxton and there are some other funny moments
@@thepadster123 Oh sweet I didn’t know he had released the full interview could only find this snippet.
Good impression of Tom Arnold.
Whats wrong with his right hand ?
It's on his knee, lol
*Yea well he almost drowned a few ppl on the Movie "The Abyss" and some walked off that set...Ask Ed Harris*
Including himself. His oxygen mask failed and he had to punch the safety diver to break free and swim to the surface. That production was a total nightmare; ambition exceeding grasp. It's hard to argue with the results though. The performances he got from those actors are among the best and most memorable of their careers.
Kyle rese
STOP INTERRUPTING THE GUESTS DUDE
I can't stand interviewers who constantly interrupt and proceed to tell their own stories 😡
Hicks was such a waisted character in the Aliens franchise. Please find a way to bring him back!!!!!!!

Is he having health issues? Seems a bit like something is off.
He had a stroke 12 years ago.
The person hosting this show should just try to be quiet and let the guest talk instead...
