Back in 1984, Arnold Schwarzenegger was already a very recognizable actor. However, "actor" was seen as more a technicality of his job than his talent and capabilities. This outlook changed quite sharply when it was decided that instead of playing the hero of this time-travel-killer-robot-dark-future thing James Cameron had been working on, he would play the villain. That meant instead of just being strong and yelling a lot, he had to portray a killing machine.. which it turns out he's very damn good at.

James Cameron-One of the only directors that seems to apply the "SHOOT ANYTHING THAT MOVES, KEEP SHOOTING UNTIL IT DIES, AND EVEN THEN DON'T STOP!!!" Method when it comes to horror.
I truly respect that approach
9:00 both T-800 and Model 101 are correct. T-800 is the exoskeleton generation and Model 101 is the human skin (Arnie's likeness). This is why the classic Terminator is a T-800 Model 101. You should know this Decker.
Icon of Sin
Endoskeleton*
It’s the inside
Still got the accent right... Hehehe!
I feel the terminator fells obsolete. Clearly the shynet cpu is modeled after intel 8008 and the terminator sees in red which if you hide behind red skynet is defeated.
I thought it was a T-850
He says the first models had rubber skin
Arnold Schwarzenegger stars in the Terminator as the Terminator in the Terminator the Terminator travelers back in time to find his target and Terminate her.
this is the best! xD
Booyah!
Amen to that 👏
*Mind blown*
Put it in quotes.
There's actually a really cool cut scene from Terminator when they show rescue workers getting Sarah out of the factory they are in; they pull back and it's Cyberdyne Systems!
Timothy Grzeczka damn that would've been awesome
Really? Is there any footage On TH-cam?
I'd like your comment, but it's all Model 101 right now.
@@thehaloscrolls391 its on the special edition dvd blu ray
That type of irony is sorely lacking in movies and stories.
What do Bill Paxton, Michael Biehn, and Lance Henriksen have in common? Two excellent James Cameron films from the 1980s!
Paxton and Hendriksen even have something more unique in common; the only 2 actors who's characters have been attacked by a Xenomorph, a Predator and a Terminator.
@@DonPandemoniac Paxton was actually killed by all 3. Yet the guy can survive being sucked into an F5 tornado.
DonPandemoniac Biehn and Paxton also starred in one of the best westerns of the 90's, *Tombstone*
@@spaceace4387 Well who said disaster movies were realistic.
@@nickb9718 one word....Sharknado
Funny, it was the skeleton Terminator that actually scared me. Something about that wanky stop motion and puppetry was creepy as shit!
It moves all jerky and inhuman.
MANIC PIXIE , I am indifferent because the Arnold puppets that had the eye socket missing were what scared me. Especially the scene when he's looking through the address book "Fuck you asshole"
@@felynecomrade pretty sure it's leg was damaged so it was limping, which is largely why it looked like it was moving strangely. at least i always thought it's leg was damaged when sarah smashed it into the guardrail.
I agree I think it looks great. The jerky stop motion just makes it feel even more creepy.
She's saying she knows there's a storm coming, not she knows what he said
Decker, at the risk of sounding like a complete nerd, because I am one. Cyberdyne Systems Model 101 is referring to the Arnold looking skin design. The T-800 is the model Terminator he is. So for example there would be a model 102 that looks like a completely different guy, but underneath, it's a T-800 as well.
Cage820 oh shit thanks for clearing that up I actually really like the lore of terminator for some reason even though there isn't much
@@dinkrumpchumper1385 No $!#% 😂 I actually wondered about that myself
NNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
I love the way arnold slightly moves his head with an animatronic sort of movement. Adds so much to the performance.
I've always wondered what a Terminator would do after it completes it's mission. Just crack a beer and chill until Judgement Day I guess
Mason Morgan I think about that too. Probably March to the pentagon and beg to be dissected to speed up the process
Mason Morgan yeah it would probably destroy itself or find a way to help skynet get online sooner hell it might even have a message hidden within it that it would upload to skynet making it smarter and telling it all of the events that happens until the terminator was sent back allowing it to fix any mistakes or defeats that might have happened
Proceed onto it's secondary objectives I guess. It's not like John Conner smashed the machines defenses and won all on his lonesome. That, and crack a beer with it's creator Miles Dyson before he got hitched and have him focus more on machines than family by the awesome power of beer. Or not. Fidget Spinners & Crocs or flying cars and bases on Mars. :-P
It shuts down on instruction of it's core programming and then is shipped off to the 3rd world to be dismantled and made into iPhones.
he would likely have secondary targets of all known top people in the resistance, and just hunt down and kill anyone with their names in any city they are known to live in, like wiping out every sarah connor.
who knows how many of them there are, maybe 100s or 1000s, maybe he'd just keep going until the military brings him down with heavy weapons or something.
one thing that always gets me is, lets say he gets taken down during his mission by the military, after about killing 2000 cops they realise it's not human, eventually take it down somehow, like it's not going to get away with it forever right? they realise it's a super fucking intelligent robot with all kids of tech they haven't seen.
well wouldn't this start a convo about "yeah, lets not go ahead with advanced military AI, just one of these things took out cities worth of police officers", like then skynet would have way more safety measures put on it and shit.
He didn't actually rip his heart out; that's just Arnold's fist covered with blood with a lot of viscosity.
Eh what ever. It was cool. Heart or no heart
the music was awesome in the first movie.
You make a great point in talking about how brilliant "The Terminator" script is in its seamless ability to shove tons of exposition down the audience's throat without slowing the movie down. Any tale this complex, told without voice-over narration, should be the template for other movies with similar complicated exposition/back story. Why is it that other films fail in this regard? Is Cameron that talented or other filmmakers that mediocre?
Constable 1976 we as an audience have accepted the lazy and boring way of exposition that movies use now and Hollywood only cares about Money
Nihilistic American1776 Even if I wanted to disagree, how could I? Look at all the reboots and sequels, no studio is willing to take a risk anymore, it really is about the money.
In fairness not every story lends itself to such. Given the events of the film it makes sense that Kyle needs to explain things at breakneck pace while fighting as they're being relentlessly pursued and Sarah doesn't know a thing. In most stories either everyone in the story already knows the stuff the audience needs to have explained so exposition between characters makes no sense (hence voice-over) or it only makes sense that the characters would explain things in a safe, quiet comfortable place like we would in real life (hence slowing down the pacing).
I have always regarded The Terminator as a horror film, just one where the paranormal killer’s choice of weapon is firearms and explosives instead of knives or other blades.
Brian Thompson isnt the last punk standing. Thompson is the punk that gets his heart punched in. Youre slipping, Decker!
I was about to point that out- not because I feel the need to point out every mistake, but Brian Thompson was literally the poor man's Arnold back in the day, even going as far as pretty much playing the Terminator in the X-Files. So Arnold is literally bunching a hole through his potential competition in that scene.
Oh, and BT was in that gawd awful Mortal Kombat: Annihilation film.
Cyril, Brian Thompson can actually be quite the badass though. He was at his best as the Night Slasher in the Stallone movie Cobra. That finale was epic.
I agree. When he was on X-Files, he was one of the best parts of those early mythology episodes. They never really took his character any further aside from an occasional appearance doing pretty much the same thing, but initially- a Terminator-esque character who kills Alien-Human hybrid clones by stabbing them in the back of the skull who actually might be helping mankind!? That is the very definition of badass!
He was also memorable in the Van Damme flick Lionheart.
don't forget he was also in fright night part 2
Model 101 refers to the 'skin' the T800 is wearing.
That it does
I never understood how an intelligent cyborg would ask for a phased plasma rifle at a gun store in 1986.
Lestat I guess miles dyson programmed his processors to say what it's use to say from the future lol
Eh.... Uzi Nighn Mileemeedah...
That's the only reason I can think of.
'84, and it's machine-intelligence. Not quite the same as human intelligence. Maybe it wasn't aware that it had gone back in time. Maybe it didn't know when plasma rifles were invented.
@felynecomrade If it were created by a superior machine intelligence (then again, 84's tech was trash), then it would at least have databanks or something that would tell it A) that it did go back through time as part of its primary mission, and B) it would know when the plasma rifle was invented because they most likely crafted it way before humanity ever gained first possession of it.
That metal skeleton is definitely one of the most unique & scary monsters in films.
"Unfortunately they f***ed for so long, the Terminator has come too." This line made me laugh so loud my wife yelled at me (because she heard what I was laughing at). Subbed, and in trouble, my hat's off to you sir! :D :D :D
he said kyle and sarah teleported, but obviously kyle knows dogs can sense them and they heard the dog barking, that's how they knew to get out of there asap.
Brian Thompson was actually the guy who got punched in the stomach and not the one who gave his clothes. Funny he would go onto be the Alien Bounty Hunter in another sci-fi property, The X-Files. Great job on the review, though. Always a highlight seeing the cutaways for your reviews
And the bad ass villain in Cobra big scary looking man needed more roles as killers in my opinion.
Nathan
He portrayed four different villains in both Buffy the vampire slayer and charmed, shao Kahn in mortal kombat annihilation and an evil scientist in Chuck.
@@equusquaggaquagga536 As well as Jason and the Argonauts he was Hercules well the made for tv version. I think he would have made a bad ass horror villain. Closest was Cobra cool movie. I do remember him in Buffy and MK never saw Chuck. See you are a fan as well thumbs up
Sho Kahn in Mortal Kombat 2
"You can go towards flying cars and colonizing Mars or nuclear winter and fidget spinners"
I'm keeping this one quote close to my heart
Can't believe you haven't done this one already. Great hair by the way.
wrectum terror The best.
I'm not the only one who wants a review of Scarface right?
awesome Boston yes you are....
NO awesome Boston.......you re definitely NOT the only Deckers fan waiting for Scarface review..... Although somehow I dont think he will ever do it.... I may be wrong, but I think that is not his genre of action/sci-fi/horror he usually reviews. I m sure he knows how big and important and great that movie is (refering to DePalmas version with Pacino).... but like I said; I dont see Decker Shado reviewing Scarface.....just not his style...... But at the same time I m sayin to myself: boy I wish I m wrong. Anyway..... he still is my No1 movie reviewer.... You hear that DECKER???!!!!!! ;)
He did Cobra... And a couple of 4.20 celebratory kinds, so it's not impossible, just unlikely, exept if he do a whole "Summer of" about that specific actor. Still, can't stop hearing Decker shouting "say hello to my little friend!" now... *Sigh*
Fun Fact, the game Hotline Miami 2, in the soundtrack
a song is called "Technoir" and the first few seconds have the phone call
Sarah Connor made back to her apartment.
"They f*ck for so long the Terminator has come too" Hahahahahahahaha you had me in stitches there!
Damn dude, it sucks how weren't able to begin this years summer special back in June, but I'm glad you able to start it anyway.
This movie has a 100% on rotten tomatoes
Because it’s fucking badass
I doesnt matter what RT thinks.
Movie is great but fuck Rotten Tomatoes
0:51 Even as a kid, Michael Biehn's Kyle Reese embodied everything I wanted to be as a man. Also, define "meek." That word doesn't mean what most people think it means and what most people think it means does *NOT* describe Kyle Reese.
2:48 Brian Thompson was the guy who got his heart ripped out.
4:53 That's an Ithaca 37 M&P. Its overall length would be well over 26" even with the stock cut off. The joke still works, though, since all gun laws are lame.
5:33 Clever Beetlejuice reference. Well played, sir.
8:57 T-800 is the model of the endoskeleton. "Model 101" is Arnie (based on Master Sergeant William Candy).
9:14 Fact. Also, 12-gauge slugs can bust the engine block of a Mack truck, but are still slow and blunt, so they don't do the job against an endoskeleton's hyper-alloy combat chassis.
9:55 If only they could get their hands on something in the .50 BMG persuasion.
10:57 Interestingly, both "Reese" and "Connor" are Irish names. "Reese" is the Irish version of the Welsh name "Rhys" (which is pronounced the same way).
12:14 In T2, Silberman seems to have forgotten that he'd ever met Reese.
12:48 In the extended cut, it's revealed that Traxler trusts Reese.
14:12 He's gunzerking! Btw, if you splice the Bloodshot Ramparts Combat theme from Borderlands 2 (OST by Jesper Kyd) into that scene, it fits perfectly.
15:06 The SPAS-12 weighs almost twice as much as the AR-18. Notice how the stocks are removed from both of them.
18:32 That scene right there was an homage to James Cameron's literal fever dream that inspired the whole story.
18:43 Of course, you already know that story. Why am I not surprised?
19:19 Unrelenting? Don't you mean...determined?
20:27 Remember when Kyle mentions that he always wondered what she was thinking about in that photograph? She was thinking about him.
21:18 Clever and perfectly timed pun. Sans would be proud.
I like your classification of T1 as a horror movie. Its funny how they seemed to change T2 and the rest to more of action movies with bits of comedy in them. But there was definately nothing funny about T1
Rest i peace bill paxton
Love your show, and hate to be THAT guy, but when the Terminator buys the Uzi, it's still a single shot weapon. It isn't fully-automatic until he gets it to the motel room and converts it with tools he picked up at the hardware (both things done off screen, but confirmed by James Cameron in interviews and written material he's made public about the film and characters). The Terminator does the same thing with the AR-10 he uses in the assault on the police precinct, (along with his SPAS 12 shotgun). It was also single shot when he aquired it, but converted after the whole gunstore-murder thingie. Also, when Arnold is checking out the Uzi, it has a short barrel fitted on it, but it's a dummy barrel, only put on for display in the store. The Uzi was sold with a standard, legal-length, (even California legal at the time, if you can believe that), that it was sold with that has to be switched out with the short dummy barrel to make the Uzi a functioning firearm. The Terminator cut the real barrel to the short lenght to make it more concealable with the same tools he used to convert both weapons to full-auto. Again, sorry to do this, but I'm a self-professed gun-a-phile, and weapon related inacuraccies are my mental Kryptonite lol. Really enjoy your episodes, though. Relax watching 5 or 6 of them after work every day. Keep up the great content! (And if you have any firearm related questions, feel free to message me, enough though you do seem to be one of few the TH-cam reviewers with a basic understanding and knowledge of firearm in general!) 👍
I think I heard that it was an AR-18 and not a AR-10, which as I believe is 5.56 like the AR-15 but uses a true gas piston instead of the piston that's also the bolt assembly most people mistakenly call "direct gas impingement".
If if I recalled incorrectly this website is an awesome resource for people even more autistic than me(and I actually have a diagnose) about cataloging the exact firearms used in works of fiction(or what they seem to be inspired by if they are say a video game and you are going off of aesthetic designs.It's typically visual. it doesn't work as well in text unless they just tell you the model)
www.imfdb.org/index.php?title=Main_Page
10:32 nice TH-cam jab.
I need to watch this vid... Because decker!!!
Decker is awesome!
"Decker is the internet personality with the best hair"
Vladimir Putin I've seen you somewhere, maybe on a horse...?
No Decker Kicks Ass!
This review is pretty badass considering the fact you should do a Terminator 2 Judgment Day review
> Originally intended to come out in 1983
Oh, that explains it! When Kyle Reese is pointing a gun at the police officer in the alley, asking for the date, the answer he gets is "12th, May, Thursday". Note that 1983-05-12 is a Thursday and 1984-05-12 is a Saturday. Earlier in the movie we see text saying it takes place in 1984, so that's a goof. The obvious retcon is that the police officer was flustered and blurted out 12th when he meant 10th.
We also see that it's 1984 when Sarah clocks in at the beginning of her shift at the burger shop: the top right of her time sheet says "pay period ending 5/19/84".
Although that's ambiguous: she could have a 53+ week pay period. The "LA - 1984 - 1:52 am" text in the ~opening shot is a bit more unambiguous.
Your doing the summer special in august?
Tyree Ballard yeah that's what I was wondering about too.
Late summer is all the guys had tooth ache drama
Glad yer back
8:56 I wonder if someone forgot that model number being "101" as they came up with the "T-800" designation?
Please do RoboCop....please
later, terminator first
you first.
Decker, your awesome! There is something so genuine about this channel. Don't give it up man. You're like RLM for the little guy, If that makes any sense. Keep putting your shit out there man, you get more views than John Campea, people give a shit about your opinions. They see the work that you put into it and believe me it doesn't go unnoticed. You have 70,000 subscribers that appreciate everything you do.
Arnold actually said that originally he was going to read for Kyle Reese and was going to meet James Cameron to talk about the part but Arnold loved the terminator character so much that he wanted the part after there meeting Cameron gave in and gave him the part. Funny side note the terminator was already cast and Lance Henrksion was going to play the terminator originally but after Arnold's meeting Cameron had drawn up Arnold as the terminator and history was made
Fun fact: Lance Henriksen was originally envisioned as the Terminator, but he freaked out too many people with his mannerisms as a terminator. I think we're better off with him playing Bishop and Wayland.
Also, T-800 is the make, 101 is the model.
U need to do A Clockwork Orange
Eric Wright I would pay money to see that, make it happen Decker!
One of my favorite stories about the Terminator is that they had O.J. Simpson read for the part of the Terminator, but James Cameron didn't think he came off as a killer.
Terminator, predator, die hard, aliens, the thing, and scarface, are one my favorite movies of all time.
And Robocop. Maybe First Blood and Top Gun as well. All 80s action movies. The golden age.
Hey Decker, this is a fantastic film. I'm amazed that a director with little experience was able to make something so hectic and explosive on such a small budget. James Cameron proved he was a force to be reckoned with here, and somehow managed to capture lightning in a bottle twice with Terminator 2.
I would like to see you review Back to the Future at some point.
3:55 Love that "hundred years later" bit. "HA. WATTA BITCH!"
Interesting fact this movie is the only 1 in thee entire series with THE in the title.
“what the hell?”
- garbage man in the terminator movie
I actually liked the jerky stop motion of the Terminator. It made him seem especially robotic, as if it wasn't trying to hide anymore. It was a great film, and that's after seeing Terminator 2 first. I could never find the first one, and my cousin had T2 taped.
Decker - Brian Thompson had his heart ripped out (Xfiles Alien Hunter) - It was Brad Rearden that gave up his clothes.
And sadly Ron Perlman couldn't come to Linda Hamliton's rescue this time.
John’s birth was originally a miracle birth.
Hey Decker, please describe for us the gun show loophole.
Michael Biehn is the ultimate action hero icon of the '80s.
4:53 Technically, an Ithaca 37 with a 20" barrel would still be well over 26" with the stock cut off.
5:54 How many video game characters were based on or inspired by Michael Biehn?
9:14 A 12-gauge slug (18.5mm or .729 caliber) can bust the engine block of a Mack truck.
Yeah, it is crazy how in movies no one can remember the year they live in.
You can see in Sarah's expression at the end that she's being metaphorical about knowing a "storm" is coming, a nuclear storm...
At least homeboy got laid before he died
He truly was a future homeboy.
don't you find it strange that they make it out like reese was john's father all along? he couldn't have been john's original father, he wasn't even born yet in sarah's time. that would make john an entirely different person that the original john.
I remember I lived in Los Angeles in 1994 and my parents and I saw some lady get hit by a car outside of a grocery store I remember my father ran inside the store to find a phone to call 911 he said when he called they said please hold and he was on hold for 15 minutes before they picked up the phone luckily the lady was okay
It's 2 AM. I need to be sleeping.
BUT THERE'S A NEW DECKER SHADO VIDEO! SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK!
There's also a new Nostalgia Critic video, but frankly, I prefer Decker to the Critic.
The Terminator tearing out Shao Khans heart scene is actually relevant now lmao
Please review taxes chainsaw massacre
Ian Botello I didn't know the irs had it's own horror film :) lol
TK Darkheart I heard they could be evil bastards but damn chainsaws ?!!
i dunno if he has enough voice to say "A mothafucking chainsaw" throught the entire movie...
Wisely Snipes is the main character.
Ian Botello I think you meant 'texas'. Sincerely, a concerned texan 😊
12:50 Yeah and also they could have just coated a weapon with flesh any way. What's to say they can only put it on top of a humanoid shape? As far as Skynet is concerned that is. Heck even the resistance could have used a purse made of fresh roadkill.
It’s a model 101 but it’s labeled as the t 800 because it’s in the t series
Actually, Brian Thompson was the punk who suffered heart removal.
Hell Yeah The Terminator also Decker can you please review Little Shop of Horrors (1986)
Cup of Coffee 365 that'd be good too
Cup of Coffee 365 I've never seen the movie. I've just seen the Nostalgia Critic review
Cup of Coffee 365 I didn't even realize they were considering a remake. I would watch it, just because, but there's no way it would ever live up to the original. Wolfman probably wouldn't even have nards.
Cup of Coffee 365 *spits out Pepsi*
They probably wouldn't call Fat Kid...well...Fat Kid. They'd just call him Horace. Wouldn't wanna offend anyone.
Decker,the full designation of this Terminator is Cyberdyne Systems Series 800 Model 101 so both designations are canonically accurate.All the Terminators Arnold plays have that model and series number save the one in Terminator 3 which is a Series 850 Model 101.
Quite coincidental that Brian Thompson in the 90's played Shao Kahn in the mortal kombat movie and receives a Fatality in Terminator lol
I wouldn't be surprised if skynet became real seeing how this year has become
If I were an AI watching humans be as stupid as they are in 2020 I'd want to kill them all too.
*who's this man decker didn't have a moustache*
That build up in the Tech Noir scene, as Arnold brings the gun up and chambers a round, that's just of of thee most perfect build ups I've ever seen. Music, tension as Arnold brings the gun up, time slowing down, not sure about Reese (if its your first time seeing the movie)...just perfect imho
Actually Arnold was supposed to play Kyle Reese but he liked the terminator character so he wanted to play it, it was genius
I do not believe that was anything talked about from Arnold or the director James Cameron. Which they have this interview about all this.
6:30 the voice on the phone is James Cameron
Decker i have a suggestion review the night of the demons movies, Warlock movies and house of 1000 corpses.
I loved Kyle's interrogation. Really shows how much James Cameron lucked out with getting Michael with such a low budget.
Decker can you please do a review on all the Halloween Movies please?
I can't believe I haven't noticed how much your channel has grown, since I first stumbled upon it a few years ago, when the average view count per video was often around 10.000, sometimes lower. And had maybe 20.000 subscribers at most??
So odd I didn't notice it before, but I am glad I finally did, because that was definitely a pleasant surprise/discovery:D
Really happy for your success Decker, which I hope will continue as long as you keep doing this.
Keep up the good work:)
great review Decker Shado :) Can u review The Lord Of The Rings and The Hobbit Trilogy?
2:30 just realized the punk to the right of Bill Paxton is the dude that plays Shao Khan in Mortal Kombat Annihilation
The summer of the Governator? Oooooh yeah, let the games begin!
To me the scene where Kyle Reese asked about the date and year he was sent to kind of implied humans either didn't know how to use Skynet's time machine properly or the time machine itself malfunctioned and humans had to find a temporary solution.
I want Decker to review "The Void". Anyone else?
ZM_Ranger "This face... it isn't mine."
If I understand right, the 101 is the model number and 800 is the series number. So this is the 101 model of the T800 series. This explains his reference to a the 600 series.
Finally, you reviewed it!!!
The last punk in the beginning was not Brian Thompson... Thompson was the blonde haired guy
......3 people won't be needing any clothes
Or their boots and motorcycles.
or sunglasses
Omg finally I thought you were one of those TH-camrs who don't upload and I've been dying to see you review this!
Can't wait for total recall!
Yesterday i've searched to see if you had reviewed Terminator but you hadn't. Today you have uploaded this exact review. I'ts funny to see how things work out sometimes.
Also, i think this movie would had horror elements even if Cameron wasn't going for it, the idea alone of being hunted down by a nearly invulnerable robot, able to blend into his surroundings and who will do everything to complete it's task is unsettling by itself.
Brian Thompson wasn't the last thug standing brah. C'mon now.
Well done, Decker! Standing ovation!
The Terminator is my favourite sci-fi action film and your review made me want to watch it again and enjoy every moment!
Hey Decker I have been watching your videos for a few years and I now how much you love the AVP franchise, so I was wondering what you thought about the new predator movie probably coming out next year.
bluestickman26 he thinks it's coming out next year. Same as you and everyone else
Hes not happy
To say the least
I hear ya on the emergency services taking forever. I was in a car accident and it took them over an hour to get there when the nearest ambulance depo was 45mins away. Lucky for me when I was thrown around in the car i landed in a way that my broken leg didn't hurt.
"Hah! What a bitch!"
- Decker Shado 2k84
The original Terminator was tough but it does get damaged, it has to do repairs to it's arm and has to mess with it's eye. When it's hit by the truck it has a limp the newer films all show a near superman level of strength and speed and resilience which makes it hard to suspend disbelief. Even the T1000 gets messed up in the T2 special edition cut after it's frozen and smashed it has trouble blending and sticking to railings etc.
Fun Fact: Arnold was cast to play Kyle Reese and Micheal Biehn was supposed to play the Terminator, Arnold suggested playing the Terminator.
i miss bill paxton
Honestly i think i like T2 Judgement day more than the original, great vids as always deck, also Consider reviewing Some king kong movies like the original, you could even do a Kongtober or Kongcember and do what you did with F13, cheers if you read this far down BTW
There is one issue with their time displacement machine. It transports living tissue - Hair is not living. They should all be bald :D
You deserve so much more then you get Decker another great review man. I think I've watched about half if not more of them must keep watching!
Revolvers are the best guns to kill a machine lol
Did you know that the studios wanted O.J. Simpson to play the Terminator before they got Arnold?
Yes
Fun fact: In the early development stages of the script, there were supposed to be two Terminators sent back, one the T-101 (or T-800 as it is retconned as) and the other being the T-1000, the liquid metal Terminator. With this, two protectors were sent back, one being Kyle Reese, and the other being a guy who didn't make the trip back, as he got stuck in a fire escape (as Cameron detailed, the weird ball that destroys stuff around it when people were sent back wasn't developed just yet) and caused him to die. However, much similar to Cameron having to wait many years for technology to catch up with his vision for Avatar, he realized he couldn't develop the liquid metal Terminator just yet and saved that for the sequel.
