I guess you young'ns don't know the history of this film... this was Jim Cameron's first feature film. The budget was $6.4 million, and it made over $78 million at the box office. He learned to make movies working for Roger Corman, renown for his low-budget sc-fi & fantasy films during the 70's and 80's. Gale-Ann Hurd produced and co-wrote it, who also worked for Corman. She built her reputation producing Cameron's films as well as many other well known genre films thru the 80's, 90's & 00's, and they were married for several years in the 80's
Yes. Piranha 2 should not count against James Cameron. The Terminator is Cameron's first movie. What a way to come onto the scene. The Terminator and T2 were the Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back for my generation. The Terminator is possibly the greatest "B-movie" ever made. By that i mean, it is the greatest low-budget sci-fi ever produced. Some of the effects stand out like a sore thumb. But The Terminator is still a great inspiration for future filmmakers. Cameron showed us what can be possible on a small budget and its freaking amazing. T2 on the other hand is the greatest action movie ever made. Cameron showed us whats possible once youve established yourself in the industry. And its freaking phenomenal. I mean, Linda Hamilton was so great in T2, she made Sarah Connor one of the greatest, strongest, most iconic female roles ever put on film. Her Sarah Connor is right up there with Cameron's own Ellen Ripley in Aliens and Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With The Wind.
@@LukeLovesRoseT1 is a legit artsy movie, not a "B-movie". T2 is a decent sequel with clever CGI and a great villain but that's it: Arnold isn't credible as a robot and Linda Hamilton is just annoying.

The science fiction concept of traveling back in time and cause an event that makes your reality is most commonly known as a "Bootstrap Paradox" (although there are other names to describe it). Although time travel stories have been around for centuries, the bootstrap paradox comes from Robert Heinlein’s story “By His Bootstraps.” It was published in the October, 1941 issue of the Astounding Science Fiction magazine under the pseudonym Anson MacDonald. "The Terminator" is not the first movie with a bootstrap paradox. The earliest movies I can remember containing the Bootstrap Paradox were the original "Planet of The Apes" 5 movie series from 1968 - 1973.

In Jr high, Me and a group of my friends went to watch this. For the first and only time ever in my life we stayed and watched it a second time. The action was so great We were all hyped. and we were all wearing the Nikes that he put on in the store. Crazy coincidence, but those Nikes were huge at the time.
In preparation for this movie, Arnold spent hours on the shooting range until he could hold rifles/shotguns at full extension firing them unfazed by feedback and traverse the shooting course in a smooth, mechanical fashion.
@@732ReviewCrew My mom as a single mom in the 80s could afford her own apartment childcare all on working as a bank teller in Burbank California which was a really nice area though most of California was at that time before the last 35+ years of elected officials ravaged the state. She had so many celebrities come to her as a bank teller the area was nice especially back in the 80s now I assume it's full of homeless tent camps poop on the streets and drugs. Thankfully I escaped California like 6 years ago.
Yes, Arnold really did shave his eyebrows for this movie. But he was so concerned they might not grow back properly, that he had them insured with Lloyds of London for an undisclosed sum.
The Terminator does not feel "pain," though it has feedback circuitry to inform it of when components are "sub-optimal" and that is the reason for fixing its hand and removing the damaged "ball" of its eye.
The novellization goes a bit further into the subject of the photograph. Apparently, Reese was not just some random soldier; he was close to general Connor, some kind of personal bodyguard or something. As for "volunteering", well, I imagine Reese just sitting at the table, sharing a meal with his comrades. In comes general Connor, says "guys, for the final win, we need to send one person into the past; he would likely die soon after, and it'd be a one-way ticket anyway. Any volunteers?" Everybody's arm shoots to the ceiling. Connor points at Kyle and says "then it would be you". Everybody else makes disappointed noise.
All the Cop cars and getaway cars are from the 1970s ( cheaper to get 10 year old used cars than new ones) this is in reference to your the cars are from the 80s comment.
Arnold actually shaved off his eyebrows for the film. From IMDB “Arnold Schwarzenegger had his eyebrows insured at Lloyds of London as he feared that they might not grow back properly after he shaved them for the scene" 😯
Every part of the Terminator franchise makes sense to me no matter which direction it takes, no matter who's playing what, or how things change because there is no time travel (yet), so really it's very plastic (not in the plastic things are made of, but the plasticity of time). It's my favorite franchise. My favorite line in this one is " Cyborgs don't feel pain. I do. Don't do that again.". First time seeing it, the line was said so perfectly that for a moment I thought Reese was saying he was a cyborg. The actor had the perfect amount of timing to let that sink in and immediately calm the fear after.
The first time travel movie was in 1921, a silent film called A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's court. If you guys are into more time travel there is a movie from the 80s called Time After Time when H.G Wells chased Jack the Ripper to modern America. It is so awesome.
John gave me a picture of you once, i didn't know why at the time... You were young like you are now...." John selected him and kyle didn't even noticed
How dare you, the original Dune was my favourite movie when it came out and I still like it now. To be honest I do like the new Dune movie but I don't think it's as good as it's made out to be; only time will tell if it stands up in 40 years. And I did see T1 when it was released and was blown away by the special effects; but T2's effects, especially the CGI, are infinitely better.
Some movies you wouldn't necessarily think of are predecessors in some way of other movies. "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" is a predecessor of "The Thing," and the old "Planet of the Apes" movies are to some extent a predecessor of "The Terminator."
@@732ReviewCrew Just to be clear, I don't mean they are continuations of stories, but rather themes and ideas. In your discussion you spoke about the time travel idea, and the development of ideas over time, so without being too spoiler-y, yes, older movies lead to newer versions that reference them. Like, a lot of supernatural movies referenced "The Exorcist" (1973). Without "The Exorcist," I don't think you have "Constantine" or even "Ghostbusters."
@@732ReviewCrew In terms of shaping the industry, "Psycho" was probably the first significant psychological thriller. Without it, you don't have "Silence of the Lambs," which is definitely a classic. While there had been stories about serial killers before, "Silence of the Lambs" is what sprinkled magic fairy dust on the genre. "The Exorcist" was another phenomenon that might have introduced, ironically, the idea of the Christmas blockbuster. Around the New Year's break, crowds lined up around the block to see this movie. A couple of years later, "Jaws" is what seems to have introduced the idea of the summer blockbuster. "Star Wars" filled this slot two years later. A few years after that came "Raiders of the Lost Ark" (Indiana Jones), which opened up the whole Tomb Raider / Mummy genre. Several of the impactful movies had very low budgets and were experimental in nature. "The Terminator" was low budget, "Star Wars" (1977) was low budget, and "Psycho" was low budget. "Star Wars" was originally intended to be a Flash Gordon movie, but they couldn't get the rights, so Ming the Merciless morphed into Darth Vader. "Raiders" was intended to be a nostalgic ripoff of old B movies, but once again they wildly exceeded expectations. It's kind of amazing that concepts they just kind of winged 40-45 years ago still have some degree of life in them. I'm sure merchandising has a lot to do with it.
It's amazing how some of the biggest movies and things that shaped the future are simply "low budget passion films" for lack of better words. But the passion is what makes them feel alive
Great moviie series to review though you could easily stop at the second with no great loss. Terminator 2 is one of the best sequels ever made and it still stands up well today as far as the effects go. I still have a soft spot for this movie even though it's much more low-budget. The plot is ingenious and easy to follow at the same time and the tension is amped up all the way.
I think it is worth it to watch the entire franchise and just forget about anything they don't like. There's good stuff in all of it that rounds out the whole story. JMO.
Oh Mikey, it was truly heartwarming to see you turn into a real boy watching this film! You probably lost 12 to 15 years from the age you are now, but it was really fun to watch and made me giggle.
I would have been about 19 when I saw this and I believe that it's one that my Mom even suggested which shocked me! As for the effects, I can only speak for myself and I have to say that I really didn't notice the prosthetic work when he was doing the eyeball removal at the time because I was too grossed out and was only steeling a glimpse or two here and there. What I did notice was the animimated way that the cyborg moved once reduced to metal. It did pull me out of the movie for just a moment, but I was enjoying myself so much I let the story and the tension pull me back in. As for the "it was the 80s" part of the content. I thought your new catch phrase was funny as hell! The girls sharing an apartment seemed accurate, especially as they had to share a bathroom to get ready for the evening! The club should have been playing some big 1984 hit but they most likely didn't want to spend the money there. And smoke! The place should have been filled with it! Same with the police station. I'm glad that they chose all the big cars because there were plenty of small cars and imports that had made their way into the streets of US cities by 1984. They wouldn't have stood a chance in those. I'm looking forward to T2, but please, please, please...the only sequel to it worth watching (IMHO)is the two season show, Terminator: The Sara Connor Chronicles! It has Lena Headey (Cersei from Game of Thrones) and Summer Glau (River from Firefly)! I will absolutely join Pateon for this if you pick it up because I'd love to do a full rewatch with someone!
@@732ReviewCrew I can't tell you how freaking awesome that would be! I was already looking forward to your T2 reaction, now I can't wait! I'll make sure to comment so I can find out either way!
I saw this in theaters a couple of weekends after release. The studio wasn't sure what to think of it, and had little faith in its box office potential, so they released it in October -- after the Summer Blockbusters but before the holiday movies. As such, I expected it to be nothing more than a cheesy sci-fi flick that would probably suck (although I had liked Conan the Barbarian). However, the reviews kept coming in positive, along the lines of "surprisingly good and unexpectedly thoughtful, with great acting from a largely unknown cast," and that sort of thing. So, I said, "what the hell" and saw it during a Saturday matinee. There was *no way* I was gonna pay full price. What a fun surprise it turned out to be; just astonishingly entertaining. I mean, even for the day you could tell they had to cut some SFX corners, but the quality of the writing and acting was *so good* nobody in the audience even cared. 😊
@@732ReviewCrew Not really. I mean, he'd only done two films, plus a documentary about Mr. Universe. Schwarzenegger hadn't become the superstar he did, eventually, and at the time such a thing was unimaginable. I mean, the joke was that Arnold playing an emotionless robotic killing machine made for perfect casting, because his acting was *so awful* . But he delivered a convincingly menacing performance, here, and this film launched his career in a way that Conan had not.
Fun fact about Arnold when he first came to America he lived with a Pastor friend of my grandpa. My grandpa and Arnold had a conversation once about all of his goals obviously bodybuilding but Arnold also told him that he would become famous in Hollywood and that he would one day be Governor of California and he actually did it that man is so goal driven.
An amazing movie absolutely love it. For its time just as revolutionary as Star Wars was. The next one is one of the best sequel ever made, pretty much a perfect movie (along with Aliens and Empire Strikes Back).
LOL, who would have thought...Mikey the iguana whisperer! 🦎Great Christmas card. Love the movie & reaction. Joe is right though, as good this one is, T2 is better. While not Arnold's first big movie as you discussed, I'd say this was James Cameron's first big one as a director. Thanks, and "I'll be back".
So fun to watch y’all react to this gem! I’d LOVE to see you react to Conan the Barbarian. It has my favorite punch in movie history! Also, the nightclub TechNoir might be familiar to you. In the Expanse it was on Ceres station!
Yay! I hope you guys carry on and watch T2 and T3 (can't vouch for any of the sequels after that as I haven't seen them, but don't let anyone tell you that T3 isn't good -- it absolutely is).
Agree, T3 not as good as T2 but worth watching. T4 and T5 not so good. T6 - Dark Fate - about the same as T2. I would watch your reactions to all of them, and Sarah Conner Chronicles, but also OK if you stop after T3 or skip T4 and T5.
It isn't, since it doesn't exist. They stopped after T2. You can't convince me otherwise. In fact, they went back in time and erased T1 from existence.
The ignition trick wasn’t anything fancy. Vehicles in the 80’s had minimalist steering columns. The Terminator simply busted the column housing and ripped it and the ignition lock off. He then took the ignition switch, that the lock would have operated, and turned it manually to start the vehicle. Auto thieves used to use a dent puller to drill into the lock and yank it out exposing the ignition switch. Twist the switch and you’re cruisin. Kyle did a simple hot wire on his first vehicle, and busted the lock off with the butt of his shotgun on the car he and Sarah took from the garage. He pulled the outer lock housing off, reinserted the inner part, and twisted that to start the ignition. Some get confused about whether the Terminator is a T-101 or T-800. The model of infiltration cyborg, human flesh encasing the machine, is Cyberdyne Systems Model CSM-101, or also referred to as a T-101. The hyper alloy combat chassis endoskeleton alone without flesh, used in mass as a basic non infiltration machine soldier, is designated T-800. The 600 series T-101 was easy to spot because of the large structure of the less advanced alloyed T-600 endoskeleton, and the rubber skin they used. The big advancement for CSM-101 was advanced lightweight but strong hyper alloys, and living human flesh. Only the model of T-101 with flesh could survive time travel with a time warp that destroys unshielded inanimate objects. The next advancement was T-1000’s polymimetic liquid metal that could survive time travel by mimicking the field created by living flesh, but it had limitations despite the advancement, so marrying liquid metal with a hyper alloy chassis with build in weapons was the next iteration, TX. The final advancement was nanotechnology, similar to that used by Star Trek’s United Federation of Planets, and assimilated by the Borg. There’s two aspects to the time travel predestination paradox. John could not exist unless Kyle went into the past to father him, and Skynet could not exist without sending the AI T-101 into the past, whose CPU was the blueprint. Both enemies caused their own creation. BUT, two problems. One, since unlike Tenet, entropy only runs one way, time travel to the past is impossible. Want to travel to the future, accelerate to near light speed, or enter a black hole’s gravitational gradient far enough for your time to slow compared to the time an outside observer would experience, both extremely difficult but if done correctly, you can reach a point where your time slows dramatically, and the universal time accelerates dramatically. And two, a time warp would also have to be a space warp system. Since Earth is moving through space over a period of time, to send someone into the past, or future, they would find the Earth not at that same location it was at that time they left, so a time warp system would have to calculate the Earth’s position at the target time, and send a person or object to the target time and location.
@@dallesamllhals9161In the chassis, meaning there were no Crumple Zones. The car would survive the crash but the occupants mostly wouldn’t since there was no give in the car’s body.
Just found your channel tonight, really love Micky’s enthusiasm- he reminds me of how people in the theater’s reacted when they figured stuff. World recommended watching at least T-3, to see the machines take over. (And female Terminator)
@@732ReviewCrew There is a movie called about time, a romantic time travel story which is really funny(and moving too). 12 angry men, police story 3 and magadheera(an indian movie by the director of the recent slightly famous movie RRR) are other movies I really like! I haven't found too many TV shows which are as good as firefly though. Adios!
I'm glad that no one ever made an "improved" version of the film, with deleted scenes added. unfortunately, the situation with T-2 is the opposite - it's full of such versions, and even ones with an alternative ending that looks like it was shot with the last 5 cent from the budget.
1. Linda Hamilton ROCKED. She's really built in T2. "Terminator 2 Judgement Day" is the action movie GOAT. 2. Along with Lance Henriksen/Vukovich, Michael Biehn/Reese and Bill Paxton/punk also played in "Aliens" as Bishop, Hicks and Hudson respectively. 3.We have limited AI now. So does China.😱 4. If this wasn't a movie the ammunition would not have been available on the gun shop counter. 5. Ginger's boyfriend Matt must be a lousy lay if she needs rock and roll to "rock and roll".🙄 6. Watching people react to the eye operation is worth watching this all by itself. 7. THAT'S a bitch slap.
As someone who's witnessed actually surgery, being a radiology technologist I do xrays during them, I get squeamish in TV / media but not irl. It's weird how that works! Mikey, the guy on the left
@@Sinewmire Michael Biehn also starred in Cameron's The Abyss which if watched it should be the Special Edition which is much superior to the theatrical one.
The name of the shop that Miller goes to find the Sherpa in the Expanse ssn1 is called Tech Noir. Pretty sure it is a reference/homage to the club that Sarah goes to wait for the cops early in this film. Everything is the Expanse. I didn't see Terminator in the theater but my Dad rented it from the local video store when it came out in like 1985. The SFX from movies like Star Wars, Robocop, Terminator, Predator, The Thing, Alien, and Aliens, Bladerunner, etc. basically changed movies and ushered in the era of the action blockbuster. The 80s had a lot of dumb shit going on too but the entertainment was top notch. The only modern movie that feel like they had a similar impact in that everything after was affected in The Matrix. Really all modern CG FX are just trying to be as good looking as old 70s and 80s physical FX but with better animation and freedom of movement within a scene. I am jealous modern kids and viewers because they didn't have to wade through some of the cheesy fx from the 70s.80s, and 90s to get what we have now. Like the average video game makes anything I loved as a child look like a silent movie. Edit: I love Arnold but I believe he has copped to not being 100% natural back in body building days. I don't think it persisted for that long into his acting career but probably up through Predator or maybe Total Recall. It was just part of the gig at the time but I like that he copped to it. That being said I think he was natty like all through T2 and onward and dude was so jacked.
The Terminator and T2 were the Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back for my generation. The Terminator is possibly the greatest "B-movie" ever made.

Her Sarah Connor is right up there with Cameron's own Ellen Ripley in Aliens and Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With The Wind.
Tech Trivia: The picture the boy took of Sarah, at the end, was shot with a Kodak Colorburst instant camera. They don't exist anymore because Polaroid, the originator of the instant film camera, took Kodak to court for copying their tech... it took a decade, but Polaroid finally won the case and Kodak was ordered to take their version off the market. Thousands of cameras were recalled and destroyed. They were exchanged for really crappy 'Disc cameras', or Kodak coupons for other merch. More than a few must surely remain, I've seen them at garage sales, but the special film pack hasn't been available since the early '90s, so they are quite useless. [Source: Me. I managed a camera shop back then.]
Greetings from Finland guys!!! Wholesome reaction and if you guys are going to watch Terminator 3 you should definitely check out Terminator Salvation witch is the best sequel after judgement day if you ask me!!! Arnold shaved his eyebrows and took a insurence just in case they won't grow back!!! There are only quickies in the future but they had to make love because "it was the 80s" 😂 "i'll be back" 😎
Dude, that's the whole point of "reaction first time watching" videos. Spoilers are low down at any rate. Anyone who does that is going to the special hell.
Terminator doesn't necessarily have to be a bootstrap paradox. If we just look at this one movie and not take any others into consideration (others work with this thought process too, but no spoilers), then who John Connor is doesn't matter. What matters is that they are trained for a doomsday scenario and end up becoming a hero by humans and targeted by machines. He could literally be a different person every single loop. Let's make a timeline where there is no time travel intervention and see if it is possible to get to where the movie is. Sarah had a date that got called off potentially from the guy seeing the news of a murder of another Sarah Conner and getting cold feet. If the terminator did not go back in time then this date may not have been called off. Timeline 0 - Sarah goes on the date and they hit it off. The guy is a big doomsday prepper and they have a kid they named John. John learns all sorts of survival and military tactics from his dad, but doesn't like him (since he was a flake dropping the date in the movie). Some robot apocalypse happens and John goes on to save people, but he credits his mom for training him since he hates his dad. The robots incorrectly learn that Sarah Connor trained John and send a robot back in time to kill her. Some random guy is sent back to prevent it. Timeline 1 - The random guy ends up telling Sarah about a robot apocalypse, that she is the mother of the future's savior, saves her from being killed, and either he or some completely different person gets her pregnant. She then names her child John because she was told that he will be called John and then trains him in preparation for the apocalypse. John is a completely different person from timeline 0, but they still end up saving people and now correctly credit their mother for training them. Kyle Reese is not John's father this time, but Kyle goes back in time. Timeline 2 - Everything happens the same as the movie except that Kyle only heard about Sarah and was not groomed to fall for her. This third person named John learns who his father will be, gives him a photo and grooms Kyle to be interested in his mom. Timeline 3 - Events play out like in the movie. The next loop could be different or stay fixed for multiple loops till a random element changes things.
31:04 - "it have human teeth" - yes, otherwise it would not look convincing as a cyborg. And how do you think the Skynet get a human teeth for its cyborg program?
@@732ReviewCrew I would argue the teeth the terminators used were ceramic and artificially made like modern implants dentists use today. Since we know from the T2 trailer the machines come off an assembly line, it would be more efficient to have consistent implants when assembling the head than to pull teeth from the dead and try to fit them in the metal jaw perfectly. It would be like assembling the same model car but pulling head lights from several different old cars and fitting them on the new cars.
this oneis good, but t2 is like the top action movie of all time voted in so many contests for it haha always wins. this sets the ground work for it and i think without it the 2nd would still be just as good
John gave Kyle his mother's photograph, knowing Kyle would fall in love with his mum and volunteer to go back....its pretty damn cold.. also just a mild criticism..maybe back off on the 80s hate, many of the people watching these reactions grew up in the 80s and many of the franchises and directors you like began in the 80s and the people watching these reactions grew up in the 80s, so a little respect wld be nice....roll on T2 and yes I watched this in the theatres as a kid it was awesome though for me Alien was more visually impressive..
Oh we weren't hating on the 80s, trust us. It was more just a joke explanation for anything we couldn't explain in the movies. It's kinda like "it is that way because it is"
I saw it in the movies. But it was like 15 years after its release (small European country, some rerun). And i was like 12 :D I don't remember if special effects looked great. I was terrified the whole time :D And.. then there was the sex scene.. :)
In most cases a cyborg has at least a human brain controlling cybernetic parts - Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, the Six Million Dollar Man, Cyborg (DCU) all fit tthat bill. In this case it's a cybernetic endoskeleton and a cybernetic brain (AI) with a human flesh covering - not even sure it qualifies - think it should be an android (robot outwardly indistinguishablre from a human being)..
7:18 of all questions your asking if they rent or own? lol, what about wondering if sarah is putting enough away for her 401k? or whether ginger or matt or practicing safe sex? i know when i first saw this i wondered if sarah had a school loan and wondered if shed be able to repay it. 🤣

As for "volunteering", well, I imagine Reese just sitting at the table, sharing a meal with his comrades. In comes general Connor, says "guys, for the final win, we need to send one person into the past; he would likely die soon after, and it'd be a one-way ticket anyway. Any volunteers?" Everybody's arm shoots to the ceiling. Connor points at Kyle and says "then it would be you". Everybody else makes disappointed noise.
I'm just imaginingJohn making small talk with Reese like "Hey... my dead mom was pretty hot, huh?"
All the Cop cars and getaway cars are from the 1970s ( cheaper to get 10 year old used cars than new ones) this is in reference to your the cars are from the 80s comment.
That's a cool Lil bit of trivia thank you!
FYI the 80's were 'kin brilliant and I would go back in a heartbeat.
Arnold actually shaved off his eyebrows for the film. From IMDB “Arnold Schwarzenegger had his eyebrows insured at Lloyds of London as he feared that they might not grow back properly after he shaved them for the scene" 😯
Of note; Arnold only has 17 lines saying less than 100 words in the film. 😯
Arnold is a physical actor not a thespian. That's actually his only credible role.
Every part of the Terminator franchise makes sense to me no matter which direction it takes, no matter who's playing what, or how things change because there is no time travel (yet), so really it's very plastic (not in the plastic things are made of, but the plasticity of time). It's my favorite franchise. My favorite line in this one is " Cyborgs don't feel pain. I do. Don't do that again.". First time seeing it, the line was said so perfectly that for a moment I thought Reese was saying he was a cyborg. The actor had the perfect amount of timing to let that sink in and immediately calm the fear after.
The first time travel movie was in 1921, a silent film called A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's court. If you guys are into more time travel there is a movie from the 80s called Time After Time when H.G Wells chased Jack the Ripper to modern America. It is so awesome.
Good reaction! I'll always be back for the movies.
Bear in mind that this wasn't merely old movie technology but the movie was low budget.
Ahhh that makes more sense
John gave me a picture of you once, i didn't know why at the time... You were young like you are now...."
John selected him and kyle didn't even noticed
You need to watch Total Recall with Arnold. A really great action film
How dare you, the original Dune was my favourite movie when it came out and I still like it now. To be honest I do like the new Dune movie but I don't think it's as good as it's made out to be; only time will tell if it stands up in 40 years.
And I did see T1 when it was released and was blown away by the special effects; but T2's effects, especially the CGI, are infinitely better.
Thank you! Original dune is a classic! Weird and trippy but classic.
Some movies you wouldn't necessarily think of are predecessors in some way of other movies. "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" is a predecessor of "The Thing," and the old "Planet of the Apes" movies are to some extent a predecessor of "The Terminator."
Good to know!
@@732ReviewCrew Just to be clear, I don't mean they are continuations of stories, but rather themes and ideas. In your discussion you spoke about the time travel idea, and the development of ideas over time, so without being too spoiler-y, yes, older movies lead to newer versions that reference them. Like, a lot of supernatural movies referenced "The Exorcist" (1973). Without "The Exorcist," I don't think you have "Constantine" or even "Ghostbusters."
This is exactly what we wanted to know! Thank you these bits of info are awesome
@@732ReviewCrew In terms of shaping the industry, "Psycho" was probably the first significant psychological thriller. Without it, you don't have "Silence of the Lambs," which is definitely a classic. While there had been stories about serial killers before, "Silence of the Lambs" is what sprinkled magic fairy dust on the genre.
"The Exorcist" was another phenomenon that might have introduced, ironically, the idea of the Christmas blockbuster. Around the New Year's break, crowds lined up around the block to see this movie.
A couple of years later, "Jaws" is what seems to have introduced the idea of the summer blockbuster. "Star Wars" filled this slot two years later. A few years after that came "Raiders of the Lost Ark" (Indiana Jones), which opened up the whole Tomb Raider / Mummy genre.
Several of the impactful movies had very low budgets and were experimental in nature. "The Terminator" was low budget, "Star Wars" (1977) was low budget, and "Psycho" was low budget. "Star Wars" was originally intended to be a Flash Gordon movie, but they couldn't get the rights, so Ming the Merciless morphed into Darth Vader. "Raiders" was intended to be a nostalgic ripoff of old B movies, but once again they wildly exceeded expectations.
It's kind of amazing that concepts they just kind of winged 40-45 years ago still have some degree of life in them. I'm sure merchandising has a lot to do with it.
It's amazing how some of the biggest movies and things that shaped the future are simply "low budget passion films" for lack of better words. But the passion is what makes them feel alive
Great moviie series to review though you could easily stop at the second with no great loss. Terminator 2 is one of the best sequels ever made and it still stands up well today as far as the effects go. I still have a soft spot for this movie even though it's much more low-budget. The plot is ingenious and easy to follow at the same time and the tension is amped up all the way.
I think it is worth it to watch the entire franchise and just forget about anything they don't like. There's good stuff in all of it that rounds out the whole story. JMO.
the Tv series is the only one worth watching after the second movie
Oh Mikey, it was truly heartwarming to see you turn into a real boy watching this film! You probably lost 12 to 15 years from the age you are now, but it was really fun to watch and made me giggle.
Glad you enjoyed my reaction :)
They all turned into middle-school boys during the love scene 🙄
I would have been about 19 when I saw this and I believe that it's one that my Mom even suggested which shocked me!
As for the effects, I can only speak for myself and I have to say that I really didn't notice the prosthetic work when he was doing the eyeball removal at the time because I was too grossed out and was only steeling a glimpse or two here and there. What I did notice was the animimated way that the cyborg moved once reduced to metal. It did pull me out of the movie for just a moment, but I was enjoying myself so much I let the story and the tension pull me back in.
As for the "it was the 80s" part of the content. I thought your new catch phrase was funny as hell! The girls sharing an apartment seemed accurate, especially as they had to share a bathroom to get ready for the evening!
The club should have been playing some big 1984 hit but they most likely didn't want to spend the money there. And smoke! The place should have been filled with it! Same with the police station.
I'm glad that they chose all the big cars because there were plenty of small cars and imports that had made their way into the streets of US cities by 1984. They wouldn't have stood a chance in those.
I'm looking forward to T2, but please, please, please...the only sequel to it worth watching (IMHO)is the two season show, Terminator: The Sara Connor Chronicles! It has Lena Headey (Cersei from Game of Thrones) and Summer Glau (River from Firefly)! I will absolutely join Pateon for this if you pick it up because I'd love to do a full rewatch with someone!
We can check it out! Two seasons is pretty easy to film, and we are seeing t2 next!
Thank you we're glad you enjoyed our reaction
@@732ReviewCrew I can't tell you how freaking awesome that would be! I was already looking forward to your T2 reaction, now I can't wait! I'll make sure to comment so I can find out either way!
I saw this in theaters a couple of weekends after release.
The studio wasn't sure what to think of it, and had little faith in its box office potential, so they released it in October -- after the Summer Blockbusters but before the holiday movies.
As such, I expected it to be nothing more than a cheesy sci-fi flick that would probably suck (although I had liked Conan the Barbarian).
However, the reviews kept coming in positive, along the lines of "surprisingly good and unexpectedly thoughtful, with great acting from a largely unknown cast," and that sort of thing.
So, I said, "what the hell" and saw it during a Saturday matinee. There was *no way* I was gonna pay full price.
What a fun surprise it turned out to be; just astonishingly entertaining.
I mean, even for the day you could tell they had to cut some SFX corners, but the quality of the writing and acting was *so good* nobody in the audience even cared. 😊
Plus you get to see peak Arnold! I mean I bet a bunch of people just got tickets to gawk at him in his movies 😂
@@732ReviewCrew Not really. I mean, he'd only done two films, plus a documentary about Mr. Universe.
Schwarzenegger hadn't become the superstar he did, eventually, and at the time such a thing was unimaginable.
I mean, the joke was that Arnold playing an emotionless robotic killing machine made for perfect casting, because his acting was *so awful* .
But he delivered a convincingly menacing performance, here, and this film launched his career in a way that Conan had not.
Ooo good to know. Thank you for the background information!!
Fun fact about Arnold when he first came to America he lived with a Pastor friend of my grandpa. My grandpa and Arnold had a conversation once about all of his goals obviously bodybuilding but Arnold also told him that he would become famous in Hollywood and that he would one day be Governor of California and he actually did it that man is so goal driven.
An amazing movie absolutely love it. For its time just as revolutionary as Star Wars was. The next one is one of the best sequel ever made, pretty much a perfect movie (along with Aliens and Empire Strikes Back).
LOL, who would have thought...Mikey the iguana whisperer! 🦎Great Christmas card. Love the movie & reaction. Joe is right though, as good this one is, T2 is better.
While not Arnold's first big movie as you discussed, I'd say this was James Cameron's first big one as a director.
Thanks, and "I'll be back".
If you guys haven't seen Mad Max (1979) then check it out as it isn't from the 80s.
We can add it to the list!
BTW, guys, try to watch director's cut of T2. It has some quite interesting stuff.
Hmmmm we can take a peak!
I don't recommend it for the first watch, first watch should be theatrical as millions of people did in 1991 and on TV in the subsequent decade
So fun to watch y’all react to this gem! I’d LOVE to see you react to Conan the Barbarian. It has my favorite punch in movie history!
Also, the nightclub TechNoir might be familiar to you. In the Expanse it was on Ceres station!
Okay that did seem familiar!
Also we may do an Arnold kick or something new next month! We've seen 2 of his movies and they've been a lot of fun
Yay!
I hope you guys carry on and watch T2 and T3 (can't vouch for any of the sequels after that as I haven't seen them, but don't let anyone tell you that T3 isn't good -- it absolutely is).
Agree, T3 not as good as T2 but worth watching. T4 and T5 not so good. T6 - Dark Fate - about the same as T2. I would watch your reactions to all of them, and Sarah Conner Chronicles, but also OK if you stop after T3 or skip T4 and T5.
T3 has some good sequences but compared to the first 2 is pretty meh.
It isn't, since it doesn't exist. They stopped after T2. You can't convince me otherwise. In fact, they went back in time and erased T1 from existence.
@@rodentnolastname6612 It's slightly less fun than T2, but it's gutsy in a way that T2 doesn't dare to be. I saw it in theatres and really liked it.
The ignition trick wasn’t anything fancy. Vehicles in the 80’s had minimalist steering columns. The Terminator simply busted the column housing and ripped it and the ignition lock off. He then took the ignition switch, that the lock would have operated, and turned it manually to start the vehicle. Auto thieves used to use a dent puller to drill into the lock and yank it out exposing the ignition switch. Twist the switch and you’re cruisin. Kyle did a simple hot wire on his first vehicle, and busted the lock off with the butt of his shotgun on the car he and Sarah took from the garage. He pulled the outer lock housing off, reinserted the inner part, and twisted that to start the ignition.
Some get confused about whether the Terminator is a T-101 or T-800. The model of infiltration cyborg, human flesh encasing the machine, is Cyberdyne Systems Model CSM-101, or also referred to as a T-101. The hyper alloy combat chassis endoskeleton alone without flesh, used in mass as a basic non infiltration machine soldier, is designated T-800. The 600 series T-101 was easy to spot because of the large structure of the less advanced alloyed T-600 endoskeleton, and the rubber skin they used. The big advancement for CSM-101 was advanced lightweight but strong hyper alloys, and living human flesh. Only the model of T-101 with flesh could survive time travel with a time warp that destroys unshielded inanimate objects. The next advancement was T-1000’s polymimetic liquid metal that could survive time travel by mimicking the field created by living flesh, but it had limitations despite the advancement, so marrying liquid metal with a hyper alloy chassis with build in weapons was the next iteration, TX. The final advancement was nanotechnology, similar to that used by Star Trek’s United Federation of Planets, and assimilated by the Borg.
There’s two aspects to the time travel predestination paradox. John could not exist unless Kyle went into the past to father him, and Skynet could not exist without sending the AI T-101 into the past, whose CPU was the blueprint. Both enemies caused their own creation. BUT, two problems. One, since unlike Tenet, entropy only runs one way, time travel to the past is impossible. Want to travel to the future, accelerate to near light speed, or enter a black hole’s gravitational gradient far enough for your time to slow compared to the time an outside observer would experience, both extremely difficult but if done correctly, you can reach a point where your time slows dramatically, and the universal time accelerates dramatically. And two, a time warp would also have to be a space warp system. Since Earth is moving through space over a period of time, to send someone into the past, or future, they would find the Earth not at that same location it was at that time they left, so a time warp system would have to calculate the Earth’s position at the target time, and send a person or object to the target time and location.
Car bodies were thicker in the 80s.
Where?
@@dallesamllhals9161In the chassis, meaning there were no Crumple Zones. The car would survive the crash but the occupants mostly wouldn’t since there was no give in the car’s body.
@@Ryan_Christopher It was the choice of word 😛
Just found your channel tonight, really love Micky’s enthusiasm- he reminds me of how people in the theater’s reacted when they figured stuff. World recommended watching at least T-3, to see the machines take over. (And female Terminator)
In the 80s! You guys are hilarious. Do you guys take suggestions?
Yes!
@@732ReviewCrew There is a movie called about time, a romantic time travel story which is really funny(and moving too). 12 angry men, police story 3 and magadheera(an indian movie by the director of the recent slightly famous movie RRR) are other movies I really like! I haven't found too many TV shows which are as good as firefly though. Adios!
I'm confused. Was this movie made in the 80s...
They just told you - a few times! Grow up 🙃
I'm a little surprised y'all didn't recognize Bill Paxton, as one of the punks from the beginning of the movie.
Someone doesn't like the original Dune? Point them out please.
:P
I'm glad that no one ever made an "improved" version of the film, with deleted scenes added. unfortunately, the situation with T-2 is the opposite - it's full of such versions, and even ones with an alternative ending that looks like it was shot with the last 5 cent from the budget.
The skeleton terminator should be CGI.
@@Big-guy1981 it will look 100 times better, but will people like it? not everyone approves of changes to the classics. 🙃
1. Linda Hamilton ROCKED. She's really built in T2. "Terminator 2 Judgement Day" is the action movie GOAT.
2. Along with Lance Henriksen/Vukovich, Michael Biehn/Reese and Bill Paxton/punk also played in "Aliens" as Bishop, Hicks and Hudson respectively.
3.We have limited AI now. So does China.😱
4. If this wasn't a movie the ammunition would not have been available on the gun shop counter.
5. Ginger's boyfriend Matt must be a lousy lay if she needs rock and roll to "rock and roll".🙄
6. Watching people react to the eye operation is worth watching this all by itself.
7. THAT'S a bitch slap.
As someone who's witnessed actually surgery, being a radiology technologist I do xrays during them, I get squeamish in TV / media but not irl. It's weird how that works!

@@PromptCriticalJello who would, of course, star in Aliens, along with Kyle Reese's actor, Michael Biehn.
@@Sinewmire Michael Biehn also starred in Cameron's The Abyss which if watched it should be the Special Edition which is much superior to the theatrical one.
Wish I could recall which decade this was made in... 😜
Something something the 80s...
There are good behind the scenes and making of programs that are really good too
The name of the shop that Miller goes to find the Sherpa in the Expanse ssn1 is called Tech Noir. Pretty sure it is a reference/homage to the club that Sarah goes to wait for the cops early in this film.
Everything is the Expanse.
I didn't see Terminator in the theater but my Dad rented it from the local video store when it came out in like 1985. The SFX from movies like Star Wars, Robocop, Terminator, Predator, The Thing, Alien, and Aliens, Bladerunner, etc. basically changed movies and ushered in the era of the action blockbuster. The 80s had a lot of dumb shit going on too but the entertainment was top notch. The only modern movie that feel like they had a similar impact in that everything after was affected in The Matrix. Really all modern CG FX are just trying to be as good looking as old 70s and 80s physical FX but with better animation and freedom of movement within a scene. I am jealous modern kids and viewers because they didn't have to wade through some of the cheesy fx from the 70s.80s, and 90s to get what we have now. Like the average video game makes anything I loved as a child look like a silent movie.
Edit: I love Arnold but I believe he has copped to not being 100% natural back in body building days. I don't think it persisted for that long into his acting career but probably up through Predator or maybe Total Recall. It was just part of the gig at the time but I like that he copped to it. That being said I think he was natty like all through T2 and onward and dude was so jacked.
Haha you guys are lovely! Where can one buy such lizard sweater? Asking for a friend. 🙈

The Terminator and T2 were the Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back for my generation.
The Terminator is possibly the greatest "B-movie" ever made. By that i mean, it is the greatest low-budget sci-fi ever produced. Some of the effects stand out like a sore thumb. But The Terminator is still a great inspiration for future filmmakers. Cameron showed us what can be possible on a small budget and its freaking amazing.
T2 on the other hand is the greatest action movie ever made. Cameron showed us whats possible once youve established yourself in the industry. And its freaking phenomenal.
I mean, Linda Hamilton was so great in T2, she made Sarah Connor one of the greatest, strongest, most iconic female roles ever put on film. Her Sarah Connor is right up there with Cameron's own Ellen Ripley in Aliens and Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With The Wind.
Arlold was a bodybuilder before he was an actor, so those muscles are REAL real.
NEIN...are you sure!!? Mein big-body-God?
Tech Trivia:
The picture the boy took of Sarah, at the end, was shot with a Kodak Colorburst instant camera. They don't exist anymore because Polaroid, the originator of the instant film camera, took Kodak to court for copying their tech... it took a decade, but Polaroid finally won the case and Kodak was ordered to take their version off the market.
Thousands of cameras were recalled and destroyed. They were exchanged for really crappy 'Disc cameras', or Kodak coupons for other merch. More than a few must surely remain, I've seen them at garage sales, but the special film pack hasn't been available since the early '90s, so they are quite useless. [Source: Me. I managed a camera shop back then.]
I've never watched Terminator all the way through either. I did have True Lies on VHS from Columbia House, so I've watched that one several times.
Greetings from Finland guys!!! Wholesome reaction and if you guys are going to watch Terminator 3 you should definitely check out Terminator Salvation witch is the best sequel after judgement day if you ask me!!! Arnold shaved his eyebrows and took a insurence just in case they won't grow back!!! There are only quickies in the future but they had to make love because "it was the 80s" 😂 "i'll be back" 😎
Thank you for joining us!!
It's the 80's
It might be a spoiler if you haven't seen the movie yet, but if the movie is 40 years old, it's not our fault.
🙄
Dude, that's the whole point of "reaction first time watching" videos. Spoilers are low down at any rate. Anyone who does that is going to the special hell.
Just watch "Pumping Iron". Or you could watch "Stay Hungry". Or you could always go back to Arnold's first movie: "Hercules In New York".
Terminator doesn't necessarily have to be a bootstrap paradox. If we just look at this one movie and not take any others into consideration (others work with this thought process too, but no spoilers), then who John Connor is doesn't matter. What matters is that they are trained for a doomsday scenario and end up becoming a hero by humans and targeted by machines. He could literally be a different person every single loop.
Let's make a timeline where there is no time travel intervention and see if it is possible to get to where the movie is. Sarah had a date that got called off potentially from the guy seeing the news of a murder of another Sarah Conner and getting cold feet. If the terminator did not go back in time then this date may not have been called off.
Timeline 0 - Sarah goes on the date and they hit it off. The guy is a big doomsday prepper and they have a kid they named John. John learns all sorts of survival and military tactics from his dad, but doesn't like him (since he was a flake dropping the date in the movie). Some robot apocalypse happens and John goes on to save people, but he credits his mom for training him since he hates his dad. The robots incorrectly learn that Sarah Connor trained John and send a robot back in time to kill her. Some random guy is sent back to prevent it.
Timeline 1 - The random guy ends up telling Sarah about a robot apocalypse, that she is the mother of the future's savior, saves her from being killed, and either he or some completely different person gets her pregnant. She then names her child John because she was told that he will be called John and then trains him in preparation for the apocalypse. John is a completely different person from timeline 0, but they still end up saving people and now correctly credit their mother for training them. Kyle Reese is not John's father this time, but Kyle goes back in time.
Timeline 2 - Everything happens the same as the movie except that Kyle only heard about Sarah and was not groomed to fall for her. This third person named John learns who his father will be, gives him a photo and grooms Kyle to be interested in his mom.
Timeline 3 - Events play out like in the movie.
The next loop could be different or stay fixed for multiple loops till a random element changes things.
31:04 - "it have human teeth" - yes, otherwise it would not look convincing as a cyborg. And how do you think the Skynet get a human teeth for its cyborg program?
.... Oh wow. From the Dead?
@@732ReviewCrew I would argue the teeth the terminators used were ceramic and artificially made like modern implants dentists use today. Since we know from the T2 trailer the machines come off an assembly line, it would be more efficient to have consistent implants when assembling the head than to pull teeth from the dead and try to fit them in the metal jaw perfectly. It would be like assembling the same model car but pulling head lights from several different old cars and fitting them on the new cars.
@danwoodward1527 that makes sense thank you
Rat remillard, rat allfredo, fried rat, ratatouille...
this oneis good, but t2 is like the top action movie of all time voted in so many contests for it haha always wins. this sets the ground work for it and i think without it the 2nd would still be just as good

I appreciate levity and all in most of your reactions, but all the joking around and BSing was distracting this time.
Sorry it's something we're working on, filming etiquette requires a fine balance!
If you guys haven’t seen Conan the Barbarbian you HAVE to put that on your list. Just for the music, if nothing else haha
John gave Kyle his mother's photograph, knowing Kyle would fall in love with his mum and volunteer to go back....its pretty damn cold.. also just a mild criticism..maybe back off on the 80s hate, many of the people watching these reactions grew up in the 80s and many of the franchises and directors you like began in the 80s and the people watching these reactions grew up in the 80s, so a little respect wld be nice....roll on T2 and yes I watched this in the theatres as a kid it was awesome though for me Alien was more visually impressive..
Oh we weren't hating on the 80s, trust us. It was more just a joke explanation for anything we couldn't explain in the movies.
It's kinda like "it is that way because it is"
Wow, you guys are really irresponsible with spoilers!!!
I saw it in the movies. But it was like 15 years after its release (small European country, some rerun). And i was like 12 :D I don't remember if special effects looked great. I was terrified the whole time :D And.. then there was the sex scene.. :)
Keanu Reeves is great in Parenthood and Bill & Ted’s
Million Dollar Baby is a must.
12:34 same character in T2 (dude who took photos of arnie at the mall)
there is a really good TV show that is set after the second movie that is well worth watching, The Sarah Connor Chronicles
I actually love the old Dune movie!!!
5:04 did you catch the foreshadowing? IMO T-2 and Aliens are the only sequels that were better than the first.
Guys you MUST watch Robocop. You'll love it
In most cases a cyborg has at least a human brain controlling cybernetic parts - Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, the Six Million Dollar Man, Cyborg (DCU) all fit tthat bill. In this case it's a cybernetic endoskeleton and a cybernetic brain (AI) with a human flesh covering - not even sure it qualifies - think it should be an android (robot outwardly indistinguishablre from a human being)..
Cyborgs are partly-organic. Which controls what doesn’t matter. Androids are All-Synthetic.
Live with me if you want to come.
7:18 of all questions your asking if they rent or own? lol, what about wondering if sarah is putting enough away for her 401k? or whether ginger or matt or practicing safe sex? i know when i first saw this i wondered if sarah had a school loan and wondered if shed be able to repay it. 🤣
watch Ice Pirates 😂🤣😂
After T2, feel free to skip the cash grabs and woke retelling.
Great! It is very interesting to see your joint detailed reaction to the film Robocop 1987. This is a cool movie 👍🔥🦾
