"I'll be back" is the absolute classic. Personally I always found "on your feet, soldier" to be a very strong line, as it's the transition point for here to become the "badass leader" he was talking about and she didn't imagine she would fit. P.S.: I agree with other comments, "Come with me if you wanna live" is a strong line too.
The “golden pages” were called the yellow pages, and they listed business ads and phone numbers. What they were looking in were the white pages, which listed residential phone numbers and addresses. The phone company used to send them to every house.
You had to know which city or town someone lived in. When you moved, or had an unlisted number, you disappeared. But today, when I google myself, I find address, age, previous addresses, phone numbers, weddings, divorces, jobs. For free, nowhere to hide.
About Reese knowing the future: Remember he grew up in the aftermath of the war... no internet, and the skills he needed was using weapons, making explosives, scrounging and repairing stuff... not history or lottery numbers. He wasn't specifically prepared for this mission, other than what John told him.
I was a teenager when terminator came out. I saw it in the theatre without knowing anything ahead of time, and was blown away by it. The special effects are dated now, but back then this was some good high-adrenaline action. I thought T2 was a bit better. More budget, better effects, and they added some comedy and without sacrificing any of the action. I think you'd enjoy reacting to it.
the comedy is what largely ruined t2 for me. i liked it but i much preferred the serious horror tone of the original. the serious tone fit the seriousness of the situation far better. and micheal biehn played kyle reese to perfection, he really felt like someone who came from a completely different, extremely harsh reality.
Thank you for watching the video, It means a lot to me . I will leave this pinned message here to REMIND everyone that i do not have TELEGRAM and there is no GIVEAWAY. Those you see are bot scams . Keep yourself safe and know that I would not ask for your info. ❤ ❤
I saw this movie the Summer it came out. I had just graduated high school. (I'm old.) It instantly became a favorite of mine. Terminator 2 is absolutely incredible!!
What i enjoy about T1, seeing "zero budget" James Cameron vs all his bajillion dollar films after. The work he, his crew, and the cast had to cobble together from so little resulted in an excellent film. As rough as some of the scenes are, the story and world and results are why James's worth his reputation.
zero budget? he got money from studio and he not own right own movie. hollywood suck. he could do that no money and pay later LOL own franchise and get money everytime someone make movie.
I saw The Terminator in the movie theater back in 1984. I was 31 at the time! To me this movie was always about Sarah Connor, her transition in the film from the person who gets ice cream dumped into her pocket to the woman who crushes the Terminator. Her change, her inner strength, is what makes this a good movie (and the love story). Although the "man comes back in time to father [himself][his son]" theme is prevelant in science fiction books of the time, and before, there were not many movies that explored this theme. Of course, the general public was all about the ROBOT KILLER. Very much enjoyed your reaction. As to the second movie, everyone says its the best one but I never liked it that much. You must watch it, I will tell you then why I don't like it. Thanks again!
I was one of the teens who saw this in the theater. It was amazing for its time. The effects in Terminator 2 are, of course, better, but this one will always be my favorite of the series. You would definitely enjoy Raiders of the Lost Ark.
I was 13 when this came out and it blew me away at the time, I've watched it countless times since. This, Blade Runner and Highlander were my favourite films as a teenager.
I was 24 when I saw this film. By that time, I was impressed with the idea that retro-time travel had even been considered as a movie theme! But having a strong understanding of metaphysics, I knew that anything was and or is possible!
I was one of those teenagers that saw this in the theater. I was 14 when this came out.. Memories that I will cherish forever. My friends and family are all gone now but the memories of my youth live on. Thank you for making this video.
The t-shirt was The Jetsons. The yellow pages was the business directory and the white pages was residential listings. You could pay extra for an unlisted number.
Hey, just wanted to take an extra moment from earlier chat to say: "fake-outs" are just moments in action/thriller/horror movies when the audience is meant to think the villain has (finally) been eliminated, and then--- WHAMMO! He's back. Very big in the '80s. I made a couple of jokes about that, & Bisscute thought I was commenting on her. Wasn't meant that way at all. Apologies for misinterpreted comments.
Since T1 did so well in theaters, T2 got a larger budget, so its special effects are better. Plus, it was made later when computers were more powerful. (Ironic, when you consider the plot). You have to bear in mind that T1 was made when complicated plots and sophisticated writing for movies wasn't very common. And this was a low-budget action movie using mostly unknown actors except for Arnie. (And even he wasn't a huge star then.) Considering all that, it's amazing that it still holds up pretty well as an entertaining movie even today. Glad you watched it!
Definitely keep doing reactions. You are a natural at it. Enjoying you humor. Actually, there are three different cuts of Terminator 2. Theatrical Cut (137 min.) Special Edition (153 min.) Ultimate Cut (156 min.) When people say they do or don't like the director's cut they probably don't know there are two longer cuts. When you decide which one to watch, I would suggest the Special Edition. It has extra little details. The Ultimate Cut doesn't work well with the remaining movies and James Cameron didn't do that one.
Yes this movie kickstarted the obsession with movies about robots, apocalyptic plots, and time travel. Terminator 2 is a great movie, much better than the first one. It's groundbreaking special effects showed directors that they could now use computers for visual effects. Terminator 2 is considered by many to be one of the best action movies of all time.
@FloridaMugwump ya. They used the KRS-1 song. If it's the movie I'm thinking about. Check out Sound of the Police and Step into the light. Wicked tunes. Seriously, somw of the all time greatest hop hop. No question. He's a true MC
Very genuine reaction. That’s what I like about your stuff. Good catch on Kyle saying that apparently the time travel machine was broken, yet there’s a sequel. Thank you.
But the machines’ defense grid was smashed. They were beaten. That’s what Kyle claimed. But when this movie was a hit, suddenly the machines weren’t so beaten after all.
@@TommygunNG I don't know why people so often use this argument. Does it really sound like the thinking of a computer to send just one Terminator to save itself? I'd imagine just for the sake of higher probability of success, Skynet would send every Terminator it had left. I personally would have expected one Terminator (minimum) sent to every single year that it knew Sarah's location from '84 onwards. Or more realistically much earlier than that. Kyle said most of the records were destroyed, but if they could at least confirm how long Sarah lived in L.A., they could send Terminators starting at the earliest age they knew her whereabouts.
Biss, you should definitely check out part 2. It's a big debate if part 2 is better (me personally I like part 1 a little more for it's darker, grittier feel), but no doubt part 2 is one of the best sequels ever and one of the greatest action movies of all time. You're right, the story in this one is not groundbreaking complex, but it's a good simple story that set's the tone for a great action movie. Plus the idea of computers becoming intelligent and taking over was - while not new - still very fresh and relatable, as this was the time when computer slowly became part of the daily life. And yes, being a teenager in the 80s I can tell you this was the sh't when we first watched it.
At the time AI research was already going on, but it didn't work because the hardware wasn't available. Took 40 years for computers to show any real form of smarts, but not even close to conscious yet. We don't even know what conscious is yet.
Agree with the comparison of the two films, as well as the comments about the complexity of the story. Being complex just for the sake of being complex seems a bit 'meta' to me.
1:40. Finally some reaction that makes sense! Most just snicker and say safe things! Like what is safe? Why not indulge? Why play coy? Thank you for your refreshing account to this, so far!😆🌸🌺🌿
Movie came out the year I was born, so obviously did not see it when it came out, but watched it as a kid and loved it. Terminator 2 is also amazing. I can go back and forth between which one I like better. I think most people prefer T2, but there is a certain charme about the first one, I especially love the synth soundtrack. Hope you react to the second one soon too.
The best line was "If you find yourself getting stuck with something.....Don't pull it out." You crack me up every time Biscute! T2 is purely great. There are several more but just pretend they don't exist.
When I was a kid this movie impressed me. Terminator was big, scary and tough. The movie works because it's not soft like many modern movies, the plot was simple, consistent and the movie didn't try to be too fancy or to please the audience. Also about the Kyle's love thing, we have to remember where he comes from. His idea of love or what is "normal" is probably somewhat different from what we might think. Also, John gave him the picture for a reason, he knew, fed the idea and was making sure it was going to happen.
In 1994 i watched Terminator 2 then watched THE TERMINATOR. THE TERMINATOR has been my favorite movie for the last 29 years. 40th anniversary of THE TERMINATOR is October 26 2024.
The thing about phone books is that everyone was listed by default, so there was security by obscurity, in the sense often you had 10-15+ same names with different addresses and phone numbers. But if you knew the address, you could match quickly and make the call. Also, you could pay $20 and be de-listed. It was convenient. There was no faster communication method than the phone, the only alternative at the time was regular mail. So it's not like you could send an email to ask someone their number. It was pretty much essential, which is why every year everyone got it for free. In small towns it might have been one book, but large towns had 2-3 books: White pages where people, yellow pages were businesses, and blue pages were government-related numbers.
What you saw were the white pages. The yellow pages (what you called the golden pages) were for businesses and the white pages were for individual people. You could keep your name, address, and phone number out of the white pages by making a simple request to the phone company.
@@DaveMcIroy It depended on the market. Small town phone books had the white and yellow pages in one book. Larger markets might have separate white pages for each section of the city with a big "yellow pages" book that covered the entire business area.
Terminator 2 is one of the best sequels of all time, so it’s highly recommend. If you choose to watch it, be aware that there are different versions of the movie: There is the theatrical cut, and also a longer special edition / director‘s cut. Both have their pros and cons, but in my opinion the theatrical cut is just fine, especially for first time watching. There is also an even longer ultimate cut, but you should avoid that like the plague, as it changes the otherwise perfect ending of the movie.
I have the T1000 (VHS) and Laserdisc editions, both of which are longer than the special edition or director's cut, but the endings are still the same as the theatrical editions, and I liked the extras. So what did they do in the Ultimate cut that changed the ending? I've never seen the Ultimate cut, and if they messed with the ending then I wouldn't want to, so thanks for the tip.
You're right about how this movie might be perceived today versus when it first came out. In 1984 whilst the ideas of time travel, cyborgs, integrated computer systems, A.I., etc weren't new, they also weren't really a part of the mainstream/popular consciousness either, so this film was received as rather revolutionary and had a huge impact on sci-fi and other elements of pop culture moving forward. I think it's probably this influence, in part, that allows you to be very familiar and comfortable with these concepts and to pick the major plot points in advance of them happening. In 1984, however, most people hadn't even heard of the internet except maybe in passing, let alone knew what it was or how it might change the world. As such, whilst you might have thought the plot of The Terminator was nothing special, those seeing it for the first time in 1984 had their minds blown and their imaginations set free.
'The Terminator' was created by director James Cameron ('Titanic'... 'Avatar'... 'True Lies') and Gale Anne Hurd ("The Walking Dead" series) ...Originally, the concept was supposed to be actor Lance Henriksen as the Terminator and Arnold as the soldier... But Arnold wanted the role of the Terminator, so Lance Henriksen was cast as the Police detective Vukovich (Henriksen was later cast as the android 'Bishop' in the 'Aliens' movie) ... actor Michael Biehn was cast as the soldier 'Kyle Reese'... Linda Hamilton as 'Sarah Connor'. It turned out to be Arnold Schwarzenegger's breakout role, which made him a megastar w/ movies like 'Predator'... 'Twins'... 'Kindergarten Cop'... 'Commando'... etc. James Cameron directed the 2nd movie 'Terminator 2: Judgement day'... which recast Linda Hamilton as 'Sarah Connor'... actor Edward Furlong as a young 'John Connor'... and Arnold returning as the T-101 Terminator... and actor Robert Patrick ('X-Files' series... 'Walk the Line' movie) had his breakout role as the T-1000 Terminator in the 90's. 'T2' is considered one of the greatest action movies of all time 🤘🤘 The only other 2 sequels worth watching (without director James Cameron) are 'Terminator 3: Rise of the machines'... which featured Arnold as the Terminator... Nick Stahl as 'John Conner' ... Kristanna Loken at a female T-X 'Terminatrix'... Claire Danes as 'Kate Brewster' (who knew John Connor from school) 'Terminator: Salvation' was the last of this timeline, but Arnold was not in it... Christian Bale ('Batman Begins') as 'John Connor'... Dallas Bryce Howard ('Jurassic World') as 'Kate Brewster'... (late actor) Anton Yelchin as a young 'Kyle Reese' ... and Sam Worthington ('Avatar') as 'Marcus', a death row inmate who wakes up in a world destroyed by nuclear war and finds himself mechanically enhanced.
I was a baby when the first Terminator came out so I didn't have an attachment to it growing up but I was a kid when Terminator 2 came out and I really enjoyed it. Both movies are good. The special effects for the second movie are better. Try to find the theatrical version of Terminator 2. There is an extended cut of the movie out there and also an alternate ending version too. I would recommend watching the theatrical cut before the other two versions. Its a shorter movie with a better ending. Hope you enjoy it. The Rocky movies are a good franchise to see. I also like other Sylvester Stallone movies like First Blood, Demolition Man and Oscar. Other good Arnold movies are Conan the Barbarian, Total Recall and True Lies. The Thing, They Live, Dark City, Starship Troopers and 12 Monkeys are good sci-fi movies. Apollo 13 with Tom Hanks is a fantastic historical drama. The Fifth Element with Bruce Willis is a fun sci-fi/action movie. Dumb & Dumber, Liar Liar and The Truman Show are good Jim Carrey movies. True Detective season 1 is an excellent self contained crime story. Fargo season 1 is also a great self contained crime story. Schitt's Creek is an award winning comedy show. L.A. Confidential is an award winning detective movie. The Fugitive is a good Harrison Ford thriller. Shutter Island is a well made Leonardo DiCaprio mystery. The original Robocop is a good 80s action satire. Tombstone with Kurt Russell is a good western movie. Speed is a good 90s action movie with Keanu Reeves. The Bill & Ted trilogy are fun comedies that also star Keanu Reeves. The Dead Zone is a good thriller/horror. Tremors is a good sci-fi/horror. The original Evil Dead, Evil Dead II, Army of Darkness trilogy are a good mix of cheesy 80s horror comedy. Serial Mom is a well written dark comedy. Ready or Not is a good horror comedy. Clue: The Movie and The Three Amigos! are classic comedies as well as Spaceballs. The Nightmare Before Christmas movie and Batman: Mask of the Phantasm movie are personal favorites. That's a lot to suggest but it's all really good stuff. Hope you find movies and shows that you like. Thanks for the videos.
6:27 They are looking in the white pages of a phonebook. The yellow pages were at the back and were for businesses, not for people. You can find MORE information online about people today than you could back then in the phone book, so it would be scarier now that people can find where you live -- and a whole lot more -- than it was back then.
My favorite part is that Kyle always wondered what Sarah was thinking at that moment of the picture. And she was thinking of Kyle during that tape record. Lovers across time....
"Golden pages" 😂😂😂 Yeah... they contained locational data about the population of a specific perimeter, presented by an ink based residue that was applied on cured wood pulp.
I think the plot is expected for you because the premise of this film has tried to be recreated in almost every action movie and video game for the last 40 years. ------ You have grown up with movie concept through most of your media experience. So give the movie a chance.
Remember class: The "I'll be back" line isn't classic JUST because Arnold said it. It is a classic line because it is immediately followed up with smashing a car through a glass door, slamming into a desk hard enough to crush someone behind it, an one man assault on a police station killing around 30 officers, ONLY to have the "assault" fail due to running out of ammo from shooting up the place.... followed by simply WALKING AWAY as if nothing had happened as the police station burned behind you. It was the OPENING of a classic 80's action scene that still holds up as one of the best moments of "Just how big of a bad-ass is this guy" (Machine) in movie history.
No, those are the normal parts of the phone book, or white pages. The "golden pages," otherwise known as yellow pages, are specifically for businesses.
The Terminator getting his eyebrows burned 🔥 off from the explosion just prior to punching 👊 through the windshield to grab Sarah was a great idea in the film to add a menacing look to the Terminator. It created a feeling that something was off about him. Not quite human. Almost like an unstoppable Frankenstein monster! -OG
Now you see why this is a classic. 🙂 As for the rest of the franchise, only worry about _Terminator 2: Judgement Day_ and _Terminator: Dark Fate._ They make a trilogy that literally ignores everything else, and you get a good character arc for Sarah Connor. And yes, the 'Eighties were a wild time, with a book that would give just anyone all your information. The fun part was phone books worked if you had the name, but if you didn't, you could use what was known as a "criss-cross". If you only had an address or a phone number, you could look them up instead, and get the same information. They were mostly available at libraries. Some single women tried to mask their being single women by only using their first initial in the phone book. Thing is, only single women did that, so even if you didn't use the full name, using only your first initials still said you were a single woman. The 'Eighties was a crazy time.
You talk about the plot not being all that. This is another one of those things where you only really recognise the plot because of all the subsequent films that have riffed on similar themes as this movie ever since its release. At the time it blew peoples minds. I still love it. The OG and the best. Beautifully executed. T2 is the huge budget follow up which is an incredibly rare example of a sequel which brilliantly expands the original story.
I was in the Army when this hit the theaters, coolest film I had ever seen. I went back a half-dozen or more times to watch it. T2 is a slicker film, much bigger budget and effects, great writing and acting. Lots of great action scenes, definitely a must-see. I get why so many people say that T2 is the better movie. I'm a story guy, though, and this is the film that introduced me to Sarah and laid down the foundation of the story, which is actually both films (and the rest of the franchise). I love both films for what they bring to the table, but this one made the biggest impression on me and is my favorite. Thanks for doing this one, my dear. Terrific reaction.
There was not much in the way of video games in the 1980s and so aside from reading, movies were all there was for fantasy or science fiction and when Terminator came out it was one of the most, if not the most realistic representation of cyborg/robot action available and to most people then, especially a kid it was the best thing going and we who are into such things loved it. Thanks for the reaction!
27:20 "I think about the teenagers watching this in theaters back in 1984. They had such a nice experience." This was rated R, so only teenagers 17 or older got in. Anybody younger could not. I could not; I was only 16 when this movie came to theaters. But I turned 17 and this movie was still in the dollar theaters so I did get to see it on the big silver screen. 4 times. This was the first R rated move I ever saw in a theater (I caught some on HBO and on my friend's dad's laser disc player). Also, this movie was so dang cool I kept going back with my friends to see the awesome effects. I mean, each time only cost a dollar, so why not?
The plot may be easier to predict when you've been brought up in a time when such films as this are considered mainstream. To us "oldies" these were something fresh and new - we were weaned on westerns, WWII war films and musicals. These are the films later ones are founded on, so the plots, etc have become derivative and not so innovative. Plus you are smarter than the average bear Boo Boo. And we love you for it, and keep coming back. Try the Bond films (60s especially), Hitchcock and Spielberg movies. Tarantino is a good modern choice too.
Saw this in the theater. Arnold wasn’t the huge star he later became. This definitely put him on the trajectory of superstar. Conan was popular, but more for the character Conan than Arnold’s performance. It’s why it was so smart to play a character with limited vocabulary. It showed he had box office appeal and was smart enough to play villains too.
"The Terminator" was a low-budget film for its time ($6.5M) and surprisingly made back around 13x its money. They made the most out of what they had to work with, which is what made it impressive. Nothing too fancy. On the other hand "The Terminator 2: Judgement Day" had a budget of $100M and features far more advanced special effects and a lot more of Arnold (and his humor). I prefer the first one (less is more), but the sequel is well-loved by many and features lots of dynamic and fun action.
Love your reactions. Can't believe you did the "woop woop, that's the sound of the police" from krs-one. 😁 I loved that you did that, had to pause the video just to say that. Now back to the reaction.
What is the cutest thing, those rubbish on "terminator view" are actual memory dumps and/or Assembler commands (this is almost raw programming language).
lmao you crack me up😆 edit: Forgot, option 2, of course. This was the first instance of "ill be back" and after was incorporated into many of his other movies. Ironically the line was slightly ad-libbed, Arnold changed it and they kept it, iirc
4:30. These are the White Pages. They listed the phone numbers of people. The yellow pages were at the back of the book and listed numbers for businesses. You could prevent your number from being listed, but it cost extra
Every time Kyle looked at Sarah's picture he wondered what she was thinking when the photo was taken and at the same time (so to speak) Sarah was thinking of him and just with this plot twist Terminator is not only one of the best sci-fi movies but also crushes 99% of the romance shit produced in the last 30 years 😁😁
Hello!) If you decide to watch the second part of the Terminator, be sure to find an extended director's version, there's a lot of cool stuff added) Thank you for the reaction of your favorite movie!)
Special Edition is the best version. It has the same, open but hopeful ending as the regular (theatrical) cut, not the schmaltzy ending with the bad old age make-up, which was taken out precisely because it did not work with test audiences. But it has some great extra scenes.
So the phone book they were looking at is the white pages which just had entries for people and some business ordered by name. The yellow pages was for businesses and was organized by category with ads for businesses with the listings
"I'll be back." I highly recommend watching the extended version of Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991) with the definitive ending. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that version and adds context that was originally taken out, anyone that says otherwise is pushing an agenda. Fun Fact: One afternoon during a break in filming, Arnold Schwarzenegger went into a restaurant in downtown L.A. to get some lunch and realized all too late that he was still in Terminator makeup - with a missing eye, exposed jawbone and burned flesh. Juice Dodged Fact: O.J. Simpson was considered for the Terminator, but the producers feared he was "too nice" to be taken seriously as a cold-blooded killer. Ironic. Director Cameo Fact: Near the beginning of the movie, when Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) receives a message on her answering machine breaking her date, the voice on the machine is James Cameron's.
28:35 "You know what you need? A bazooka. Or a rocket launcher." A bazooka is a rocket launcher. But. Even in the US, rocket launchers are not sold to the public in gun stores. Like the gun store owner said at 5:45 "Hey, just what you see, pal." And Arnold didn't see any rocket launchers because that guy could not sell them. Ever.
2000s: Movies tell you everything in giant exposition dumps so you don't have to figure anything out. 1980s: Movies SHOW you a story and let the audience learn things along the way. This breaks Biss' brain every time. I find it the other way around. Growing up with movies from the 70s and 80s, I like to learn the story as we go along. Modern exposition dumps bore me and make me feel like the movie is ripping me off.
11 months late but....yea I was 13 when I watched this. We watched it at my Dad's house when he was at work. Seeing this back in the 80's, before most people even knew what computers were, was a trip!
Without this movie many famous block buster movies wouldn't have existed. I really like this movie It did unexpectedly well in 84 Especially considering James Cameron had a fairly small budget to work with. Of course some of the effects are dated. Todays audience's are spoiled by CGI and have zero attention span. CGI doesn't always make a movie good. The story matters. Terminator has a fantastic story. T2 is even better. While the Terminator brand has struggled in recent years due to a series of failed reboots, its influence on modern culture is undeniable, not just because it redefined the genre but because it launched James Cameron into the stratosphere and paved the way for some of the biggest success stories in Hollywood Bisscute I sure you know sometimes CGI takes away from the story. Example: Michael Bay's used lots of CGI in Transformers movies. Some of it was amazing/ground breaking when the first one was released in 2007. Unfortunately Michael Bay doesn't always care about a good story, Just flashy effects, incoherent fight scenes, and childish humor. The only Transformer movie (he made) worth watching is the first in 2007. He ruined Transformers after that. The movie Bumblebee from 2018 is pretty good. Its worth watching, and (not) directed by Michael Bay thank goodness.
I was 15 when I watched this for the first time and was awestruck! I love your reaction to this action classic and that you understand why we loved it so much back then, and still do... You can argue that Terminator 2 is even better than this one. I have always just liked both of them equally. ~Vals
Originally the guy on the answering machine, Stan Morsky,, was John Connor's father (according to James Cameron) but when Stan bailed on the date time re-aligned and Kyle ended up being John Connor's father. And yes, the Terminator's flesh had died due to the amount of damage it had taken and was rotting.
Terminator 2 is a good movie with better SFX, but The Terminator is better because of the story. The revelations throughout the movie are fun to experience. And the SFX in the original, though a little dated, are still cool. Especially the scenes where the Terminator is working on himself. Those aren't computer generated, but required real robotics There are a lot of great movies from around this time period -- early to mid 80s. Such as : Raiders Of The Lost Ark An American Werewolf In London Back To The Future Star Wars II and III And plenty of others, which your commentors will undoubtedly suggest. Enjoyed your reaction. As we always do. Looking forward to your reaction to T : 2 .
It's called a phone book. It was a directory of businesses in the local area. You had to pay a fee to get your Business name and phone number into the book. There were two shades of paper the white pages which were residents and yellow which were businesses. The book was referred to as "the yellow pages" not the golden pages. :)
Linda Hamilton mostly changed the perception of the "STRONG woman" character. Some might say this movie is more about her character over the typical MALE lead character, in action films of this era. From this point on, IMO, Women started showing their strengths and they have been exceling ever since! Dare I say liberation, of sorts.
The big twist in this movie happens in the police station. Every cop in it was played by a character actor well known to movie goers in the '80s. So it was a real shock to the audience when they were all killed off in one scene and so unceremoniously, because by the rules of movie making when you see someone who is being paid a lot to appear in a movie, they are expected to play a much bigger role.

Best line ?
1 "I came across time for you"
2 ,, I'll be back ,,
Lets seee
If you're looking for memes - "come with me if you want to live"
Definitely 1
or maybe "Come with me if you wanna live"
Of the 2 options, number 1. But I do like "come with me if you want to live."
"I'll be back" is the absolute classic. Personally I always found "on your feet, soldier" to be a very strong line, as it's the transition point for here to become the "badass leader" he was talking about and she didn't imagine she would fit.
P.S.: I agree with other comments, "Come with me if you wanna live" is a strong line too.
Come with me if you want to live - is iconic line
The “golden pages” were called the yellow pages, and they listed business ads and phone numbers. What they were looking in were the white pages, which listed residential phone numbers and addresses. The phone company used to send them to every house.
What I really get a kick out of when concerning phone books was that everyone's address was listed. Lol, could you imagine that, today?
@@chrisegnoto Back then people had to pay extra to have an unlisted number
@@chrisegnoto LOL! People (and companies) can pay for more detailed information about you on the internet these days.
@@chrisegnoto Yeh, I can't imagine now being able to just look up someone's address. 🙄
You had to know which city or town someone lived in. When you moved, or had an unlisted number, you disappeared. But today, when I google myself, I find address, age, previous addresses, phone numbers, weddings, divorces, jobs. For free, nowhere to hide.
About Reese knowing the future: Remember he grew up in the aftermath of the war... no internet, and the skills he needed was using weapons, making explosives, scrounging and repairing stuff... not history or lottery numbers. He wasn't specifically prepared for this mission, other than what John told him.
I was a teenager when terminator came out. I saw it in the theatre without knowing anything ahead of time, and was blown away by it. The special effects are dated now, but back then this was some good high-adrenaline action.
I thought T2 was a bit better. More budget, better effects, and they added some comedy and without sacrificing any of the action. I think you'd enjoy reacting to it.
the comedy is what largely ruined t2 for me. i liked it but i much preferred the serious horror tone of the original. the serious tone fit the seriousness of the situation far better. and micheal biehn played kyle reese to perfection, he really felt like someone who came from a completely different, extremely harsh reality.
Thank you for watching the video, It means a lot to me .
I will leave this pinned message here to REMIND everyone that i do not have TELEGRAM and there is no GIVEAWAY. Those you see are bot scams . Keep yourself safe and know that I would not ask for your info. ❤ ❤
I saw this movie the Summer it came out. I had just graduated high school. (I'm old.) It instantly became a favorite of mine. Terminator 2 is absolutely incredible!!
What i enjoy about T1, seeing "zero budget" James Cameron vs all his bajillion dollar films after. The work he, his crew, and the cast had to cobble together from so little resulted in an excellent film. As rough as some of the scenes are, the story and world and results are why James's worth his reputation.
It's an amazing universe and it makes it hard to believe that it all started from his recurring nightmares about the Terminator hunting him.
zero budget? he got money from studio and he not own right own movie. hollywood suck. he could do that no money and pay later LOL
own franchise and get money everytime someone make movie.
Thank you for acknowledging the teenagers in 84 that saw this movie in theaters and enjoyed the hell out of it. That was me!😍😆
I saw The Terminator in the movie theater back in 1984. I was 31 at the time!
To me this movie was always about Sarah Connor, her transition in the film from the person who gets ice cream dumped into her pocket to the woman who crushes the Terminator.
Her change, her inner strength, is what makes this a good movie (and the love story).
Although the "man comes back in time to father [himself][his son]" theme is prevelant in science fiction books of the time, and before, there were not many movies that explored this theme.
Of course, the general public was all about the ROBOT KILLER.
Very much enjoyed your reaction.
As to the second movie, everyone says its the best one but I never liked it that much. You must watch it, I will tell you then why I don't like it.
Thanks again!
For me, it was THAT, but i was just as much about Kyle Reese, one of the most tragic heroes in cinematic history.
Because we didn't know anything beyond stop-motion, and James Cameron poured his heart into it, this movie was terrifying in 1984.
just money maybe. For the eye surgery its an animatronic head. The hands you see in one sceen are real
That stop motion T-800 was terrifying.
I was one of the teens who saw this in the theater. It was amazing for its time. The effects in Terminator 2 are, of course, better, but this one will always be my favorite of the series. You would definitely enjoy Raiders of the Lost Ark.
T2 is not just great due to the effects budget. With a higher budget, Cameron had a greater supply of cinematic tools to work his 3D magic
I know it's old but the stop motion Terminator closing in was terrifying as a kid. :)
"I came across time for you"
Best pick up line ever 😉
I was 13 when this came out and it blew me away at the time, I've watched it countless times since.
This, Blade Runner and Highlander were my favourite films as a teenager.
I was 24 when I saw this film. By that time, I was impressed with the idea that retro-time travel had even been considered as a movie theme! But having a strong understanding of metaphysics, I knew that anything was and or is possible!
I was 25 and had been out for a few pints and decided to see a cheap movie in Leicester Square London. I was sober after about 15 minutes lol.
I was one of those teenagers that saw this in the theater. I was 14 when this came out.. Memories that I will cherish forever. My friends and family are all gone now but the memories of my youth live on. Thank you for making this video.
That is difficult to imagine. Life is a weird trip.
@@Pulsed101 Very much so.
@@andyarvai3199 All the best to you, wishing more *strength* and *wisdom* for the rest of your unique experience. God bless ya.✌❤

The t-shirt was The Jetsons. The yellow pages was the business directory and the white pages was residential listings. You could pay extra for an unlisted number.
Hey, just wanted to take an extra moment from earlier chat to say: "fake-outs" are just moments in action/thriller/horror movies when the audience is meant to think the villain has (finally) been eliminated, and then--- WHAMMO! He's back. Very big in the '80s.
I made a couple of jokes about that, & Bisscute thought I was commenting on her. Wasn't meant that way at all. Apologies for misinterpreted comments.
I feel this one is better than Terminator 2, but it is also a must-see.
Since T1 did so well in theaters, T2 got a larger budget, so its special effects are better. Plus, it was made later when computers were more powerful. (Ironic, when you consider the plot). You have to bear in mind that T1 was made when complicated plots and sophisticated writing for movies wasn't very common. And this was a low-budget action movie using mostly unknown actors except for Arnie. (And even he wasn't a huge star then.) Considering all that, it's amazing that it still holds up pretty well as an entertaining movie even today. Glad you watched it!
Definitely keep doing reactions. You are a natural at it. Enjoying you humor.
Actually, there are three different cuts of Terminator 2. Theatrical Cut (137 min.) Special Edition (153 min.) Ultimate Cut (156 min.) When people say they do or don't like the director's cut they probably don't know there are two longer cuts. When you decide which one to watch, I would suggest the Special Edition. It has extra little details. The Ultimate Cut doesn't work well with the remaining movies and James Cameron didn't do that one.
Is the Ultimate Cut the one with the different ending?
She is funny.
With the remaining movies??? There are only two terminators as far as I know :P
I like that Sarah was wearing “the Jetsons” T shirt. Symbolizing the future. Never noticed that till now
It was the Jetsons as the Flintstones.
Yes this movie kickstarted the obsession with movies about robots, apocalyptic plots, and time travel.
Terminator 2 is a great movie, much better than the first one. It's groundbreaking special effects showed directors that they could now use computers for visual effects. Terminator 2 is considered by many to be one of the best action movies of all time.
“whoop whoop that’s the sound of the police!” 😂 i love that reference ❤
KRS-1.. or do you another thing in mind?
@@robertcampomizzi7988 Attack the Block,lol
@FloridaMugwump ya. They used the KRS-1 song. If it's the movie I'm thinking about.
Check out Sound of the Police and Step into the light. Wicked tunes.
Seriously, somw of the all time greatest hop hop. No question. He's a true MC
first heard it on attack the block before boyega blew up from the force awakens
@@basspatterns187 nope. KRS-1 1993.
Very genuine reaction. That’s what I like about your stuff. Good catch on Kyle saying that apparently the time travel machine was broken, yet there’s a sequel. Thank you.
Yeah. No way they could build another one....
But the machines’ defense grid was smashed. They were beaten. That’s what Kyle claimed. But when this movie was a hit, suddenly the machines weren’t so beaten after all.
This. I really enjoyed T2, but it had some large holes in the story.
@@TommygunNG I don't know why people so often use this argument. Does it really sound like the thinking of a computer to send just one Terminator to save itself? I'd imagine just for the sake of higher probability of success, Skynet would send every Terminator it had left. I personally would have expected one Terminator (minimum) sent to every single year that it knew Sarah's location from '84 onwards. Or more realistically much earlier than that. Kyle said most of the records were destroyed, but if they could at least confirm how long Sarah lived in L.A., they could send Terminators starting at the earliest age they knew her whereabouts.
Except, of course, for Kyle’s line there.
Totally agree with your tactic there, but it’s not what was said.
Biss, you should definitely check out part 2. It's a big debate if part 2 is better (me personally I like part 1 a little more for it's darker, grittier feel), but no doubt part 2 is one of the best sequels ever and one of the greatest action movies of all time.
You're right, the story in this one is not groundbreaking complex, but it's a good simple story that set's the tone for a great action movie. Plus the idea of computers becoming intelligent and taking over was - while not new - still very fresh and relatable, as this was the time when computer slowly became part of the daily life.
And yes, being a teenager in the 80s I can tell you this was the sh't when we first watched it.
At the time AI research was already going on, but it didn't work because the hardware wasn't available.
Took 40 years for computers to show any real form of smarts, but not even close to conscious yet.
We don't even know what conscious is yet.
Agree with the comparison of the two films, as well as the comments about the complexity of the story. Being complex just for the sake of being complex seems a bit 'meta' to me.
1:40. Finally some reaction that makes sense! Most just snicker and say safe things! Like what is safe? Why not indulge? Why play coy? Thank you for your refreshing account to this, so far!😆🌸🌺🌿
Movie came out the year I was born, so obviously did not see it when it came out, but watched it as a kid and loved it. Terminator 2 is also amazing. I can go back and forth between which one I like better. I think most people prefer T2, but there is a certain charme about the first one, I especially love the synth soundtrack. Hope you react to the second one soon too.
The best line was "If you find yourself getting stuck with something.....Don't pull it out." You crack me up every time Biscute! T2 is purely great. There are
several more but just pretend they don't exist.
When I was a kid this movie impressed me. Terminator was big, scary and tough. The movie works because it's not soft like many modern movies, the plot was simple, consistent and the movie didn't try to be too fancy or to please the audience.
Also about the Kyle's love thing, we have to remember where he comes from. His idea of love or what is "normal" is probably somewhat different from what we might think. Also, John gave him the picture for a reason, he knew, fed the idea and was making sure it was going to happen.
In 1994 i watched Terminator 2 then watched THE TERMINATOR. THE TERMINATOR has been my favorite movie for the last 29 years. 40th anniversary of THE TERMINATOR is October 26 2024.
The thing about phone books is that everyone was listed by default, so there was security by obscurity, in the sense often you had 10-15+ same names with different addresses and phone numbers. But if you knew the address, you could match quickly and make the call. Also, you could pay $20 and be de-listed. It was convenient. There was no faster communication method than the phone, the only alternative at the time was regular mail. So it's not like you could send an email to ask someone their number. It was pretty much essential, which is why every year everyone got it for free.
In small towns it might have been one book, but large towns had 2-3 books: White pages where people, yellow pages were businesses, and blue pages were government-related numbers.
What you saw were the white pages. The yellow pages (what you called the golden pages) were for businesses and the white pages were for individual people. You could keep your name, address, and phone number out of the white pages by making a simple request to the phone company.
It cost extra to be "unlisted".
White pages? You mean a telephone book?
In mainland Europe they had a name with golden in it.
@@DaveMcIroy It depended on the market. Small town phone books had the white and yellow pages in one book. Larger markets might have separate white pages for each section of the city with a big "yellow pages" book that covered the entire business area.
Terminator 2 is one of the best sequels of all time, so it’s highly recommend.
If you choose to watch it, be aware that there are different versions of the movie:
There is the theatrical cut, and also a longer special edition / director‘s cut. Both have their pros and cons, but in my opinion the theatrical cut is just fine, especially for first time watching.
There is also an even longer ultimate cut, but you should avoid that like the plague, as it changes the otherwise perfect ending of the movie.
I have the T1000 (VHS) and Laserdisc editions, both of which are longer than the special edition or director's cut, but the endings are still the same as the theatrical editions, and I liked the extras. So what did they do in the Ultimate cut that changed the ending? I've never seen the Ultimate cut, and if they messed with the ending then I wouldn't want to, so thanks for the tip.
37:35 - Most people here: "omg, it is terrifying!", Biss here: "Awwwww"
You're right about how this movie might be perceived today versus when it first came out. In 1984 whilst the ideas of time travel, cyborgs, integrated computer systems, A.I., etc weren't new, they also weren't really a part of the mainstream/popular consciousness either, so this film was received as rather revolutionary and had a huge impact on sci-fi and other elements of pop culture moving forward. I think it's probably this influence, in part, that allows you to be very familiar and comfortable with these concepts and to pick the major plot points in advance of them happening. In 1984, however, most people hadn't even heard of the internet except maybe in passing, let alone knew what it was or how it might change the world. As such, whilst you might have thought the plot of The Terminator was nothing special, those seeing it for the first time in 1984 had their minds blown and their imaginations set free.
'The Terminator' was created by director James Cameron ('Titanic'... 'Avatar'... 'True Lies') and Gale Anne Hurd ("The Walking Dead" series) ...Originally, the concept was supposed to be actor Lance Henriksen as the Terminator and Arnold as the soldier... But Arnold wanted the role of the Terminator, so Lance Henriksen was cast as the Police detective Vukovich (Henriksen was later cast as the android 'Bishop' in the 'Aliens' movie) ... actor Michael Biehn was cast as the soldier 'Kyle Reese'... Linda Hamilton as 'Sarah Connor'.
It turned out to be Arnold Schwarzenegger's breakout role, which made him a megastar w/ movies like 'Predator'... 'Twins'... 'Kindergarten Cop'... 'Commando'... etc.
James Cameron directed the 2nd movie 'Terminator 2: Judgement day'... which recast Linda Hamilton as 'Sarah Connor'... actor Edward Furlong as a young 'John Connor'... and Arnold returning as the T-101 Terminator... and actor Robert Patrick ('X-Files' series... 'Walk the Line' movie) had his breakout role as the T-1000 Terminator in the 90's. 'T2' is considered one of the greatest action movies of all time 🤘🤘
The only other 2 sequels worth watching (without director James Cameron) are 'Terminator 3: Rise of the machines'... which featured Arnold as the Terminator... Nick Stahl as 'John Conner' ... Kristanna Loken at a female T-X 'Terminatrix'... Claire Danes as 'Kate Brewster' (who knew John Connor from school)
'Terminator: Salvation' was the last of this timeline, but Arnold was not in it... Christian Bale ('Batman Begins') as 'John Connor'... Dallas Bryce Howard ('Jurassic World') as 'Kate Brewster'... (late actor) Anton Yelchin as a young 'Kyle Reese' ... and Sam Worthington ('Avatar') as 'Marcus', a death row inmate who wakes up in a world destroyed by nuclear war and finds himself mechanically enhanced.
Yes I was a teen when this came out! I've never seen anyone get the whole story line as quickly as you did!! You're too Smart!
I was a baby when the first Terminator came out so I didn't have an attachment to it growing up but I was a kid when Terminator 2 came out and I really enjoyed it. Both movies are good. The special effects for the second movie are better. Try to find the theatrical version of Terminator 2. There is an extended cut of the movie out there and also an alternate ending version too. I would recommend watching the theatrical cut before the other two versions. Its a shorter movie with a better ending. Hope you enjoy it.
The Rocky movies are a good franchise to see. I also like other Sylvester Stallone movies like First Blood, Demolition Man and Oscar. Other good Arnold movies are Conan the Barbarian, Total Recall and True Lies. The Thing, They Live, Dark City, Starship Troopers and 12 Monkeys are good sci-fi movies. Apollo 13 with Tom Hanks is a fantastic historical drama. The Fifth Element with Bruce Willis is a fun sci-fi/action movie. Dumb & Dumber, Liar Liar and The Truman Show are good Jim Carrey movies.
True Detective season 1 is an excellent self contained crime story. Fargo season 1 is also a great self contained crime story. Schitt's Creek is an award winning comedy show. L.A. Confidential is an award winning detective movie. The Fugitive is a good Harrison Ford thriller. Shutter Island is a well made Leonardo DiCaprio mystery. The original Robocop is a good 80s action satire. Tombstone with Kurt Russell is a good western movie. Speed is a good 90s action movie with Keanu Reeves. The Bill & Ted trilogy are fun comedies that also star Keanu Reeves.
The Dead Zone is a good thriller/horror. Tremors is a good sci-fi/horror. The original Evil Dead, Evil Dead II, Army of Darkness trilogy are a good mix of cheesy 80s horror comedy. Serial Mom is a well written dark comedy. Ready or Not is a good horror comedy. Clue: The Movie and The Three Amigos! are classic comedies as well as Spaceballs. The Nightmare Before Christmas movie and Batman: Mask of the Phantasm movie are personal favorites. That's a lot to suggest but it's all really good stuff. Hope you find movies and shows that you like. Thanks for the videos.
6:27 They are looking in the white pages of a phonebook. The yellow pages were at the back and were for businesses, not for people.
You can find MORE information online about people today than you could back then in the phone book, so it would be scarier now that people can find where you live -- and a whole lot more -- than it was back then.
My favorite part is that Kyle always wondered what Sarah was thinking at that moment of the picture. And she was thinking of Kyle during that tape record. Lovers across time....
"Golden pages" 😂😂😂
Yeah... they contained locational data about the population of a specific perimeter, presented by an ink based residue that was applied on cured wood pulp.
Reese always wondered what Sarah was thinking when the picture was taken. We learn at the end she was thinking of him. I always found that touching.
I think the plot is expected for you because the premise of this film has tried to be recreated in almost every action movie and video game for the last 40 years. ------ You have grown up with movie concept through most of your media experience. So give the movie a chance.
yup I am reacting to them
I was 14 when this came out. So many good movies when I was a teenager.
"Crawl Faster!"... love it
Remember class: The "I'll be back" line isn't classic JUST because Arnold said it. It is a classic line because it is immediately followed up with smashing a car through a glass door, slamming into a desk hard enough to crush someone behind it, an one man assault on a police station killing around 30 officers, ONLY to have the "assault" fail due to running out of ammo from shooting up the place.... followed by simply WALKING AWAY as if nothing had happened as the police station burned behind you.
It was the OPENING of a classic 80's action scene that still holds up as one of the best moments of "Just how big of a bad-ass is this guy" (Machine) in movie history.
No, those are the normal parts of the phone book, or white pages. The "golden pages," otherwise known as yellow pages, are specifically for businesses.
The Terminator getting his eyebrows burned 🔥 off from the explosion just prior to punching 👊 through the windshield to grab Sarah was a great idea in the film to add a menacing look to the Terminator.
It created a feeling that something was off about him. Not quite human. Almost like an unstoppable Frankenstein monster! -OG
Still such a great movie no matter how many times you see it, definitely check out T2 because it is such a great sequel
I saw THE TERMINATOR when i was 8 years old and i enjoyed it very much.
Golden pages. I love it. It's actually Yellow pages. Love your reactions
In de languages of mainland Europe the yellow pages had a name with golden in it.
Oh. sweet.
Now you see why this is a classic. 🙂
As for the rest of the franchise, only worry about _Terminator 2: Judgement Day_ and _Terminator: Dark Fate._ They make a trilogy that literally ignores everything else, and you get a good character arc for Sarah Connor.
And yes, the 'Eighties were a wild time, with a book that would give just anyone all your information. The fun part was phone books worked if you had the name, but if you didn't, you could use what was known as a "criss-cross". If you only had an address or a phone number, you could look them up instead, and get the same information. They were mostly available at libraries.
Some single women tried to mask their being single women by only using their first initial in the phone book. Thing is, only single women did that, so even if you didn't use the full name, using only your first initials still said you were a single woman.
The 'Eighties was a crazy time.
42:15- Love that line "There's a Storm coming"
You talk about the plot not being all that.
This is another one of those things where you only really recognise the plot because of all the subsequent films that have riffed on similar themes as this movie ever since its release. At the time it blew peoples minds.
I still love it. The OG and the best. Beautifully executed.
T2 is the huge budget follow up which is an incredibly rare example of a sequel which brilliantly expands the original story.
“What’s for dinner?”
“Bomb.”
Lololol
Yes. T2 is better than the original. Looking forward to watching it with you.
Can't say that it is "better".... but it does add a more compelling element to the franchise legacy.
@Ivaneitor77 an opinion can't be wrong. You may disagree with it. Like I disagree with your opinion that T2 isn't better 😉
Both are equal
I was in the Army when this hit the theaters, coolest film I had ever seen. I went back a half-dozen or more times to watch it. T2 is a slicker film, much bigger budget and effects, great writing and acting. Lots of great action scenes, definitely a must-see. I get why so many people say that T2 is the better movie. I'm a story guy, though, and this is the film that introduced me to Sarah and laid down the foundation of the story, which is actually both films (and the rest of the franchise). I love both films for what they bring to the table, but this one made the biggest impression on me and is my favorite. Thanks for doing this one, my dear. Terrific reaction.
You're gonna love Terminator 2. It's one of the best Sci-fi/Action movies ever
There was not much in the way of video games in the 1980s and so aside from reading, movies were all there was for fantasy or science fiction and when Terminator came out it was one of the most, if not the most realistic representation of cyborg/robot action available and to most people then, especially a kid it was the best thing going and we who are into such things loved it. Thanks for the reaction!
"Sarah Connor, legendary baby maker." Oh crap, I died! Love your outlook, Biss!
27:20 "I think about the teenagers watching this in theaters back in 1984. They had such a nice experience."
This was rated R, so only teenagers 17 or older got in. Anybody younger could not.
I could not; I was only 16 when this movie came to theaters.
But I turned 17 and this movie was still in the dollar theaters so I did get to see it on the big silver screen.
4 times.
This was the first R rated move I ever saw in a theater (I caught some on HBO and on my friend's dad's laser disc player).
Also, this movie was so dang cool I kept going back with my friends to see the awesome effects. I mean, each time only cost a dollar, so why not?
The plot may be easier to predict when you've been brought up in a time when such films as this are considered mainstream. To us "oldies" these were something fresh and new - we were weaned on westerns, WWII war films and musicals. These are the films later ones are founded on, so the plots, etc have become derivative and not so innovative. Plus you are smarter than the average bear Boo Boo. And we love you for it, and keep coming back. Try the Bond films (60s especially), Hitchcock and Spielberg movies. Tarantino is a good modern choice too.
" On your feet, ..." adding soldier is minus Tiesto's mix. It all comes together. Competition is intense.
You're the first reactor who didn't nearly puke when he removed his eye.
Saw this in the theater. Arnold wasn’t the huge star he later became. This definitely put him on the trajectory of superstar. Conan was popular, but more for the character Conan than Arnold’s performance. It’s why it was so smart to play a character with limited vocabulary. It showed he had box office appeal and was smart enough to play villains too.
I've seen a few of your reaction videos but this is the one I found out you're actually a very intelligent person.
This is the move that put James Cameron on the map. He made this movie on a whopping 1 million dollars. For the time, it was revolutionary.
"The Terminator" was a low-budget film for its time ($6.5M) and surprisingly made back around 13x its money. They made the most out of what they had to work with, which is what made it impressive. Nothing too fancy. On the other hand "The Terminator 2: Judgement Day" had a budget of $100M and features far more advanced special effects and a lot more of Arnold (and his humor). I prefer the first one (less is more), but the sequel is well-loved by many and features lots of dynamic and fun action.
Love your reactions. Can't believe you did the "woop woop, that's the sound of the police" from krs-one. 😁 I loved that you did that, had to pause the video just to say that. Now back to the reaction.
What is the cutest thing, those rubbish on "terminator view" are actual memory dumps and/or Assembler commands (this is almost raw programming language).
Terminator 2 came out in 1991. 7 years since the original film. -OG
lmao you crack me up😆
edit: Forgot, option 2, of course. This was the first instance of "ill be back" and after was incorporated into many of his other movies. Ironically the line was slightly ad-libbed, Arnold changed it and they kept it, iirc
4:30. These are the White Pages. They listed the phone numbers of people. The yellow pages were at the back of the book and listed numbers for businesses.
You could prevent your number from being listed, but it cost extra
Alien and Terminator were some of the most influential films to Sci Fi/Horror ever, and that includes their sequels.
*Terminator 2 Judgment Day* is a great movie maybe even the best sequel of all time
The smile when Arnold's bare ass came to picture :D
Bisscute is so damn impatient... LOL..
Every time Kyle looked at Sarah's picture he wondered what she was thinking when the photo was taken and at the same time (so to speak) Sarah was thinking of him and just with this plot twist Terminator is not only one of the best sci-fi movies but also crushes 99% of the romance shit produced in the last 30 years 😁😁
Woot woot that’s the sound of the police 😂😂😂… your a trip Bliss
"The Golden Pages"!
That was truly adorable. That is so much more marketable than the Yellow Pages.
Hello!) If you decide to watch the second part of the Terminator, be sure to find an extended director's version, there's a lot of cool stuff added) Thank you for the reaction of your favorite movie!)
Special Edition is the best version. It has the same, open but hopeful ending as the regular (theatrical) cut, not the schmaltzy ending with the bad old age make-up, which was taken out precisely because it did not work with test audiences. But it has some great extra scenes.
@@rikuruohomaki3230 I agree. For the first time I watched this version, I think it is the most ideal)
It's funny how by today's standards The Terminator's plot seems so "basic" but back in the day it blew everyone's mind.
i know thats why i mentioned that in my reaction
I love how bisscute says "RRRRRROcket launcher" at 28:39 ♥
So the phone book they were looking at is the white pages which just had entries for people and some business ordered by name. The yellow pages was for businesses and was organized by category with ads for businesses with the listings
-----When you got scared------ priceless hahaha
"I'll be back."
I highly recommend watching the extended version of Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991) with the definitive ending. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that version and adds context that was originally taken out, anyone that says otherwise is pushing an agenda.
Fun Fact: One afternoon during a break in filming, Arnold Schwarzenegger went into a restaurant in downtown L.A. to get some lunch and realized all too late that he was still in Terminator makeup - with a missing eye, exposed jawbone and burned flesh.
Juice Dodged Fact: O.J. Simpson was considered for the Terminator, but the producers feared he was "too nice" to be taken seriously as a cold-blooded killer. Ironic.
Director Cameo Fact: Near the beginning of the movie, when Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) receives a message on her answering machine breaking her date, the voice on the machine is James Cameron's.
Definitely the extended cut.
I prefer the cinemator Terminator 2.
I am pushing an agenda: an agenda against the Kyle Reese scene in T2.
28:35 "You know what you need? A bazooka. Or a rocket launcher."
A bazooka is a rocket launcher.
But.
Even in the US, rocket launchers are not sold to the public in gun stores.
Like the gun store owner said at 5:45 "Hey, just what you see, pal." And Arnold didn't see any rocket launchers because that guy could not sell them. Ever.
2000s: Movies tell you everything in giant exposition dumps so you don't have to figure anything out.
1980s: Movies SHOW you a story and let the audience learn things along the way. This breaks Biss' brain every time.
I find it the other way around.
Growing up with movies from the 70s and 80s, I like to learn the story as we go along.
Modern exposition dumps bore me and make me feel like the movie is ripping me off.
11 months late but....yea I was 13 when I watched this. We watched it at my Dad's house when he was at work. Seeing this back in the 80's, before most people even knew what computers were, was a trip!
Without this movie many famous block buster movies wouldn't have existed.
I really like this movie
It did unexpectedly well in 84 Especially considering James Cameron had a fairly small budget to work with. Of course some of the effects are dated. Todays audience's are spoiled by CGI and have zero attention span. CGI doesn't always make a movie good. The story matters. Terminator has a fantastic story. T2 is even better.
While the Terminator brand has struggled in recent years due to a series of failed reboots, its influence on modern culture is undeniable, not just because it redefined the genre but because it launched James Cameron into the stratosphere and paved the way for some of the biggest success stories in Hollywood
Bisscute I sure you know sometimes CGI takes away from the story. Example: Michael Bay's used lots of CGI in Transformers movies. Some of it was amazing/ground breaking when the first one was released in 2007. Unfortunately Michael Bay doesn't always care about a good story, Just flashy effects, incoherent fight scenes, and childish humor. The only Transformer movie (he made) worth watching is the first in 2007. He ruined Transformers after that.
The movie Bumblebee from 2018 is pretty good. Its worth watching, and (not) directed by Michael Bay thank goodness.
I was 15 when I watched this for the first time and was awestruck! I love your reaction to this action classic and that you understand why we loved it so much back then, and still do... You can argue that Terminator 2 is even better than this one. I have always just liked both of them equally. ~Vals
Originally the guy on the answering machine, Stan Morsky,, was John Connor's father (according to James Cameron) but when Stan bailed on the date time re-aligned and Kyle ended up being John Connor's father.
And yes, the Terminator's flesh had died due to the amount of damage it had taken and was rotting.
Terminator 2 is worth the watch. The budget, the effects, and the scale of the movie is a dramatic improvement. -OG
Terminator 2 is a good movie with better SFX, but
The Terminator is better because of the story.
The revelations throughout the movie are fun to experience. And the SFX in the original, though a little dated, are still cool. Especially the scenes where the Terminator is working on himself. Those aren't computer generated, but required real robotics
There are a lot of great movies from around this time period -- early to mid 80s. Such as :
Raiders Of The Lost Ark
An American Werewolf In London
Back To The Future
Star Wars II and III
And plenty of others, which your commentors will undoubtedly suggest.
Enjoyed your reaction. As we always do.
Looking forward to your reaction to T : 2 .

It's called a phone book. It was a directory of businesses in the local area. You had to pay a fee to get your Business name and phone number into the book. There were two shades of paper the white pages which were residents and yellow which were businesses. The book was referred to as "the yellow pages" not the golden pages. :)
In mainland Europe they had a name with golden in it. In the native language of course.
Linda Hamilton mostly changed the perception of the "STRONG woman" character. Some might say this movie is more about her character over the typical MALE lead character, in action films of this era. From this point on, IMO, Women started showing their strengths and they have been exceling ever since! Dare I say liberation, of sorts.
The big twist in this movie happens in the police station. Every cop in it was played by a character actor well known to movie goers in the '80s. So it was a real shock to the audience when they were all killed off in one scene and so unceremoniously, because by the rules of movie making when you see someone who is being paid a lot to appear in a movie, they are expected to play a much bigger role.
