My favourite part, and a sad fact, is when Kyle said that he always wondered what Sarah was thinking at that moment in the picture. And she was thinking in Kyle during that tape record. Lovers across time....
I loved that Kyle said he wondered what Sarah was thinking about in the picture she had. Then at the end, she is thinking about Kyle when that very picture was taken. I always felt this was a Romance at its center - and a damn good one too.
Nicolette figuring out the photo right after Kyle gets shot a second time might be the earliest I've seen anyone connect it. FYI, old Polaroid photos were made pretty much the same as they are now: "secret" chemicals and some plastic layers. So, it's a transparent layer (perhaps acetate) that burns kind of odd compared to the more common photo papers that we typically use now.
14:41 Fun Fact: This night club "Tech Noir" was created strictly for the film and they actually had to turn people away at the door who thought it was a real place. Also, the name was created by James Cameron in honour of the old Film Noir movies back in the day.
James Cameron, in an interview said that he based the name of the club on the old Film Noir films, and the fact that the movie was about technology was just a given.@@Bonko78
I was glad to see you finally reacting with a human emotion at Kyle's final moment. Very few other emotional reactions, but it's always great to watch people see this movie for the first time. Everyone loves it once they do. I swear it's one of the best of all time.
A couple minor details in the extended cut of the film. When Sarah arrives to work, she gives herself a pep talk in the mirror to try to get through the day. When Reese is being interrogated, the Lieutenant starts having doubts as to if Reese is crazy (just shown in his mannerisms). After being shot in the police station, the Lieutenant holds on long enough to be alive when Reese and Sarah to come across him and with his last breaths he hands his service revolver to Resse and told him to protect Sarah. The morning after they spend the night under the bridge, Resse has a PTSD breakdown which further helps Sarah bond with him. Those scenes were cut to keep up the rapid pacing for the Theatrical version. Honestly, I think this is a movie that has something for everyone. Suspense, horror, tense action, and a love story. And this movie's budget when all was said and done was $6.5 Million which is about $20.5 Million today. Box office was $78.3 Million or $247.2 Million today. A tight script, good direction, a true master of special effects on the crew, and great actors made this movie an instant classic.
Yes we had phone books, but we also had a lot of numbers memorized. You call your friends and relatives and every time you had to actually physically put the numbers in, no speed dial, you tend to learn them faster. But every home also had some kind list of numbers, and unless you lived in a huge city, most phone numbers were only 7 digits.
In the 80s overwhelmingly the alarm systems would be silent alarms. which would trigger an alarm system company to check the alarm, and if no response then the authorities would be called. In a mall, there would likely be no alarm system on the stores, and only alarm systems on the mall entrances.
OJ Simpson was actually considered to play the titular character, but James Cameron changed his mind, saying in an interview, "He's too much of a nice guy to play the role of a ruthless killer." 😳🤦 Mel Gibson, Sylvester Stallone, Tom Selleck and Lance Henriksen were also considered for the Terminator. Bruce Springsteen, Treat Williams, Scott Glenn, Matt Dillon, Sting, Michael O'Keefe, Kurt Russell, Tommy Lee Jones, and Christopher Reeve were considered for Kyle Reese. Lisa Langolis, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Rosanna Arquette, Jessica Harper, Melissa Sue Anderson, and Lea Thompson were considered for Sarah Connor.
It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear! And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until... it does a hard-target search of every gas station, residence, warehouse, farmhouse, henhouse, outhouse and doghouse in the area.
Almost in the first scene with the three guys, the blue haired is Bill Paxton, a very well known actor who appeared in Titanic, Aliens or Twister, among another ones.
"The San Ysidro McDonald's massacre was an act of mass murder which occurred at a McDonald's restaurant in the San Ysidro neighborhood of San Diego, California, on July 18, 1984. The perpetrator, 41-year-old James Huberty, fatally shot 21 people and wounded 19 others before being killed by a police sniper approximately 77 minutes after he had first opened fire." Terminator got to Cali a little earlier than expected 😔
This was a really good reaction to _The Terminator._ Nicolette, you have talent. You're also the first reactor I've watched who cried during Sarah's dream sequence. It's such a tragic vision of the future. People living like rats, barely hanging onto life. Society reduced to charred remains. The worst is the woman sobbing. We never see her, we can only hear her. Why is she crying? For herself? Her family? Humanity? All of it? We can only imagine.
Regarding shotguns in police cars: Not all states issue shotguns and rifles to standard patrol units. Some do, usually to senior officers, while some don't even require very much seniority. Every state and sometimes every department makes up their own regulations. All such long-barrel weapons are locked at all times (yeah, yeah, a negligent officer might fail to lock it, but then it will rattle around and fall over, so probably not). Shotguns are often mounted between the front seats with a locking mechanism that requires a key or an button to unlock. The most popular models are electronically controlled. When the officer pushes a hidden button, the shotgun/rifle lock unlatches for a preset time (usually ten seconds or so). It locks again when the weapon is replaced in the rack. The racks can also be unlocked with a special key. A strong man might be able to break the lock but probably not. A clever man mind find the button but it might take some searching. A terminator doesn't need a button; it takes what it wants - I don't know how Kyle Reese got that shotgun so fast. Hollywood magic I suppose.
It's a delight to encounter youngsters experiencing this movie for the first time. A young person could take many a message from this movie but the deepest and most meaningful one of all is that you should never underestimate yourself nor the fullest extent of your capabilities in life. The Terminator (1984) probably shouldn't exist at all, the budget just wasnt there yet through determination, adaptation, passion and grit the people behind the project made it reality even when the financial odd's were stacked against them every step of the way.
25:09 What a lot of people don't get is that the terminator's self-surgery isn't just gratuitous gore. It's meant to reinforce what Reese is saying about it, that it doesn't feel pain or anything else. It's a "show, don't tell" way of proving that it's just a machine because no one could cut out their own eye like that.
One of my favorite parts is when Kyle says that he always wondered what Sarah was thinking about in the picture of her. Then you see that she was thinking of him when it was taken.
That wasn’t Arnie as the Terminator in the ‘flash forward’ dream sequence with Kyle telling Sarah. There are many models. Arnie was model 101. The Terminator that shot the dogs in the rebel underground was another model (102?) played by Arnie’s body-building good friend Franco Colombo. Saw the Terminator in the theater with my brother. We were both blown away. We went to the washroom and exchanged looks while doing ‘business’. Without a word between us, we quietly ‘merged’ into the group entering for the next showing, found a seat and watched it again. Nicolette! You asked if this is the start of the war? In a deleted scene that last battle did take place in a robotics factory.
@@TennSeven I often misspell his last name because of auto-correct. Embarrasing. My brother who saw Terminator with me is named Franco! First saw Franco Columbo in Arnie’s first major film ‘Conan the Barbarian’. He had a very brief cameo, but looked like a beast as a near-naked Pictish Scout in the opening battle scene. RIP.
T800 is the combat chassie and model 101 is the mold they have on top to make it look like a person. The 101 was first model they made. They explain that in T3.
MGM Lion's name is Leo. = ) I met a version of him once. Was with my advanced makeup class from an out of state university and on part of our L.A. trip, we got to do private tours of both Paramount (saw Billy Crystal and saw Ted Danson on the CHEERS set) and MGM. There when exiting a building...I was in front...we walked into the middle of them filming a promo with Leo. NOTHING between the lion and me. I stopped short, and made the others back up. Leo did not complain about me being in his sight line.
1:35 The Lion(s) in the MGM logos already have names, actually. From 1924-1928 it was Slats, from 1928-1956 it was Jackie, for 1956 and 1957 it was George, and from 1957 until 2021 it was Leo. In 2021, MGM debuted a new CGI logo which features a lion partially based on Leo.
If you haven't yet watched T2, I strongly recommend you choose either the 1993 "special edition" (153 min) or the theatrical cut (137 min). Avoid the "ultimate cut" with the alternate ending (156 min) at all costs. (That ending is no good.)
We never actually saw Bill Paxton get murdered at the Griffith, as Arnie just tossed him against the gate. The other guy who had his heart ripped out was the guy who played the main villain in Sylvester Stallone’s Cobra. In that one, he was beaten, impaled on a hook and burned to death. What a way to get a death upgrade.
@ 15:00 It’s funny how you mentioned how toned Ginger’s legs are. Her real name is Bess Motta and back in the 80’s, she hosted an aerobics workout show on TV.
I love how there's denial as to how great this movie is. This is a classic, and your facial expressions fail to belie how the rest of us feel! Killer robots are class!
The one continuity error I saw way back when, can never unsee it and see it everytime... The 3 Sarah Connor phonebook street addresses are 1823, 2816 and 309 but the address above the door of the first Saran Connor is 14239
No, we did have numbers memorized. The phone book was for strangers or people you didn't talk to often and businesses but other than that we memorized everyone else's number. And of all you know our the persons name there was no better way. You have to call all the names listed in the phone book if they had the same name. Knowing their middle name or initial would help. Also everyone was not listed. My family always paid for our number to NOT be listed because they didn't want anyone to be able to just get our number and address. The cops aren't leaving their guns in the passenger seats. It's in a holder made for the shot gun and is located in the crib so they can gain acess quickly. What they are doing wrong is leaving the door unlocked. Back then you would have to be totally insane to steel a cop car i think that might stop hold true today.
Leaving shotguns unattended in unlocked police cars..., that's the REAL crime in this movie! " That's the REAL crime in this movie!" should be your catch-phrase!
Yeah, that Arnold. That terminator just kept going. It was crazy! I'm glad Sarah Connor the mother of John in the future managed to get away. Have you seen An American Werewolf In London? It was an 80's horror/comedy classic. Maybe sometime you could do a reaction video of that? I'm sure you would love it.
At the end of the story . . . All those co-workers at BIG BUNS restaurant are guessing as to what their Sarah has been up to in just the past couple of days - - - 1 murdered guy in the gun store 2 gals named Sarah murdered 2 dead in her apartment several killed in that club Tech Noir 17 cops dead in that Police Substation Sarah's mother murdered 1 pickup truck and 1 motorcycle, both wrecked 1 Body left dead on the freeway One 18 wheeler gas tanker truck burning 1 body and 1 squished robot found in a machine shop AND 1 dead cat in the terminator hideout room ! YUP . . . Our Sarah really knows how to do the town.
I like the scene where Silberman says "Why didn't you bring any ray guns?" I got another time travel movie for you to react to it's one of my favorites, The Final Countdown (1980) The U.S.S. Nimitz goes back to December 6th, 1941. It's filmed on the Nimitz. It's like Top Gun meets Back to the Future.
Hey Gorgeous! Shout out from the US Marine Corps! 08:00 That's the neighbor in Gremlins! I fell in love with this movie as a kid in the 80s! just like Predator, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Lost Boys, Beverly Hills Cop, and Back To The Future! There are thousands of great 80s movies out there! Better Off Dead was a classic! Glad to see you love this movie! Keep up the great reactions!❤🤍💙💛
I've watched a few female reactions to The Terminator, and their instincts and theories have been top notch. Some making amazing leaps as to how Skynet developed. I didn't come close when I watched it when i was young. Watching a few, I would have skipped to certain parts, but this lady's analysis is tight through out.
A lot of burglar alarms were "silent" alarms that most people could not hear, but that rung audibly at a company office. The company then called the cops.
I can't be the only one that kinda wants to marry Nicolette. She is such an intelligent and hilarious person. I'm so happy to see her on another channel. More videos with her please!
She is a great reviewer. I like her way of doing the reactions. Hopefully she does more. Also it would be a privilege to meet her as she is smart and sweet.
@@coolerthanmoney4468 I hear that. Personally I think getting to know them as a person should be the first thing one does but that is just me. Some of the men on here just make me shake my head.
43:10 "Come back to see me reacto to Terminator 2." Must resist. Must. Resist... Must... Not... Say... The... Thing... I'll be back! (I tried, I really tried, but I couldn't stop myself.)
Dude. No shit, for whatever reason my parents let me watch this when I was like six. And when that Tonka truck got run over, I distinctly remember my parents being like "pick up your toys!" xD
My dad show me how to hotwire a car back in the day not for any criminal reasons it was insanely easy in Hollywood movies they do it wrong but were so close we figured they just don't want to show people how to really do it
@theAdMax1 Yes agreed T 2 is sooo good and one of the all time great sci -fi action thrillers . along with ALIENS as two of the best sequels ever to any franchise both directed by CAMERON. Arnie is back in top form but back as a villain you say ?🤔 Ahh i see maybe you 're playing some trick shhhh no spoilers for Nicolette i'll wait for her reaction .🤫 Great reaction Nicolette enjoy the weekend CHEERS .
Can't wait to see your reaction to T2. I was 13 when The Terminator came out and 20 when T2 came out and they are two of my favorite movies ever. But I will say that T2 is one of those rare instances where the sequel is better than the original.
15:01 Ginger is played by Bess Motta. The reason her legs are so toned is because she's an exercise demonstrator and appeared in the Canadian produced television series "20 Minute Workout" for two seasons in 1983 and 1984.
Arnold Schwarzenegger wasn't Cameron's first choice to play the deadly cyborg. O.J. Simpson was originally considered but they decided O.J. could never be credible as a remorseless killer.
The lion has a name. He is "Leo the Lion" & he started working at MGM in 1957. Worked there for over 50 years. If you saw a lion in an MGM movie, it was probably Leo.
The MGM lion's name is Leo. He is the 8th lion MGM has used. He was born in 1956 and has been the mascot since 1957. The longest and oldest mascot to date with MGM.
Prior to his successful acting career, Arnold Schwarzenegger was a successful businessman and bodybuilder. Another film from this production company worth watching is RoboCop. The most recent entry in this franchise is the first person shooter Terminator Resistance
Fun Fact: Arnold Schwarzenegger was originally cast as the good guy but when he read the script he liked the told or character of the Terminator more so like when he and James met for lunch or whatever Arnold mentioned it to him and James went with it
Sarah was thinking of Kyle when the picture was taken. This is my favorite thing about the film. Kyle's story is so tragic, yet so beautiful. All he's ever experienced is pain and survival. A picture of Sarah gave him comfort and peace in such a horrific world. Then he meets her, and experiences genuine joy in that motel room, probably for the first time in his life. He smiles for the only time in the film after he dresses back up. Then he dies moments after finally being loved. I like to think he'd believe it was all worth it... "I came across time for you, Sarah." - Kyle Reese
The “come with me if you want to live” meme is from this movie. It’s sort of like watching “Halloween” and noticing the cliche scenes, then realizing many of them came from that movie.
Alfred the Lion already has a name: Leo the Lion. Well, that's the trademark name. Many lions were filmed: 1st lion was named Slats. 2nd was Jackie, also the first to roar. 3rd was Bill. 4th was Telly. 5th was Coffee. 6th was Tanner. All the above were filmed before 1935. 7th was George. 8th was actually named Leo and he was filmed in 1957 for the logo and that's the one still used today. But now MGM calls them all "Leo the Lion" in marketing materials. Side note, many different roars were used over time, but the most famous roar is actually a tiger, not a lion, because real lion roars are less "ferocious and majestic" than tiger roars, according to the recording artist who recorded it.
The 80s were less into electronic alarms and more into physical prevention, such as bars over windows, rolling gates, &c; also alarms were typically silent, and would simply call for help without alerting the perp. The first noisy crime alarms I remember were car alarms. Initially were more basic but then they quickly started trying to outdo each other with louder and cuter noises. Not sure but that might be from where they were adapted for other uses.
one of the cases when a very good book was written based on a movie (however, the one about the second one is insanely stupid!). As for T-2, I strongly advise you to watch the original movie version, and not one of the many with added scenes, or more bad - with an alternate ending apparently filmed with the last $5 of the budget. 😊
You might not have known this when you made the comment "This guy got economy and Arnold got first class" (4:50) but you probably know it now. They got the same ride, but the human found it a very difficult trip and needed a moment to recover, while the cyborg machine recovered instantly. I mention that as one of the many excellent details in this movie; they even thought about how fictional time travel might affect fictional cyborgs differently than humans.
Shot mostly Gonzo no permissions illegally, the most expensive parts were the arnold robotics heads....for 6 mil! First person killed is Bill Paxton! He, arnold, linda, Michael Biehn, and many others....james uses over and over in his movies! Bill and james started in movies together, mostly sets, design, costumes. James had only done a few shorts and b movies before this, but ine of his sci-fi shorts was actually cutting edge storytelling. While filming this, Biehn said he would hang out in James trailer at jight, and saw that he was working on 2-3 scripts simultaneously... Terminator 2, The Abyss, and Aliens. And yes, Biehn is in all of them, and arnold and bill and several others ...
Given the nature of the channel, I'd like to suggest a series of video where a couple of reactors (definitely including Nicolette if possible) react to both the original and remake of heist films. Obvious examples are The Italian Job (1969 & 2003), The Thomas Crown Affair (1968 & 1999), and Ocean's Eleven (1960 & 2001). The videos you're doing so far are good, but they're the same films every reactor covers.
32:45 "How do you make a Molotov cocktail? I don't know the recipe." At the risk of enabling your anarchy, here's the recipe. 1. Take any bottle of alcohol. HIgh "proof" alcohol is preferred. 2. Remove cap. 3. Insert rag into bottle neck so it soaks up alcohol. 4. Heat to desired temperature with any open flame. A lighter, candle, or cigarette will suffice. 5. Throw immediately. Pretty basic really; you can season to your own taste.
It's awesome Nicolette has seen this iconic sci fi classic :) I hope she can react to it's amazing sequel Terminator 2 soon & further sequels Terminator 3 & Terminator: Genysis :) I love these movies and I enjoy Nicolette's reactions along with Cami, Amelia, Coby & Nicki :)
How does a local veteran cop know where a local nightclub is? Hmmm..... Also, you don't get her transformation til T2. Yo, those were '70's cars. The photo was from a Polaroid camera. Self-developing in about a minute. Nice bullet stopper too. Seriously. Try to tear one and you'll see.
Nicolette: Sarah Connor. A lot of Sarah Connors. Me: not for long. Also, the cop countdown was one of the funniest/coldest things I’ve seen in a while. 😂
“Stop telling model numbers, how does that add to the story?” Could it be a much quicker way of saying there’s lots of different types of them all being made in factories than if he were to say “there’s lots of different types of them all being made in factories?” 🤔
I happen to know that the lion's name is Jack (or at least one of them). I randomly stumbled on a photo of the crew shooting the piece just the other day.
Arnold... meet Nicolette. Enjoy!
great reaction!
..2nd is better..
There is a certain order to watch them....
I don't get your generation,. Bro this Bro that even when you are talking about a female. That should be "Sis".
What’s her IG?
My favourite part, and a sad fact, is when Kyle said that he always wondered what Sarah was thinking at that moment in the picture. And she was thinking in Kyle during that tape record. Lovers across time....
..and she never got to tell him that she was thinking about him.
it really is a beautiful, bittersweet moment
31:24 Polaroid pictures were thick, plastic, and multi-layered...hence the bubbling.
I loved that Kyle said he wondered what Sarah was thinking about in the picture she had. Then at the end, she is thinking about Kyle when that very picture was taken. I always felt this was a Romance at its center - and a damn good one too.

Lisa Langolis, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Rosanna Arquette, Jessica Harper, Melissa Sue Anderson, and Lea Thompson were considered for Sarah Connor.
Also, note that the terminator in the beginning is wearing gloves and they just couldn't get them to fit OJ.
Henriksen was waaaaay more "considered" than the other actors you've mentioned.
@@SCharlesDennicon Cameron did that on purpose to get funding since Henrikson was the biggest star here at the time.
They should have gone with Lea Thompson for Sarah. She’s got a history (pun) of trying to hook up with time travelers…
It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear! And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until... it does a hard-target search of every gas station, residence, warehouse, farmhouse, henhouse, outhouse and doghouse in the area.
Almost in the first scene with the three guys, the blue haired is Bill Paxton, a very well known actor who appeared in Titanic, Aliens or Twister, among another ones.
Two of those movies are James Cameron movies
the model numbers DO MATTER. they evolve as the series continues. and it's a really cool touch to the film..
Most people like T2 more, but I like the idea of a bootstrap, time travel, love story.

In my opinion Part 1 was the best. The actor who plays Kyle wad also in : The Abyss & Aliens. Also Ripley is the best female action actress.
Part 1 IS the best & always will be...............................
This is probably my second favorite time travel movie, it's a perfect loop.
37:56 reality really slammed home for Sarah - she believed Reese but when she saw the terminator without flesh there was a whole new understanding!

Was with my advanced makeup class from an out of state university and on part of our L.A. trip, we got to do private tours of both Paramount (saw Billy Crystal and saw Ted Danson on the CHEERS set) and MGM. There when exiting a building...I was in front...we walked into the middle of them filming a promo with Leo. NOTHING between the lion and me. I stopped short, and made the others back up. Leo did not complain about me being in his sight line.
1:35 The Lion(s) in the MGM logos already have names, actually. From 1924-1928 it was Slats, from 1928-1956 it was Jackie, for 1956 and 1957 it was George, and from 1957 until 2021 it was Leo. In 2021, MGM debuted a new CGI logo which features a lion partially based on Leo.
If you haven't yet watched T2, I strongly recommend you choose either the 1993 "special edition" (153 min) or the theatrical cut (137 min). Avoid the "ultimate cut" with the alternate ending (156 min) at all costs. (That ending is no good.)
kyle's description of the terminator was dead on. "it will not stop ever, until you are dead
We never actually saw Bill Paxton get murdered at the Griffith, as Arnie just tossed him against the gate. The other guy who had his heart ripped out was the guy who played the main villain in Sylvester Stallone’s Cobra. In that one, he was beaten, impaled on a hook and burned to death. What a way to get a death upgrade.
What I love about this film is that it’s half sci-fi/ half horror. Arnold is basically a robot Michael Myers.
@ 15:00 It’s funny how you mentioned how toned Ginger’s legs are. Her real name is Bess Motta and back in the 80’s, she hosted an aerobics workout show on TV.
I love how there's denial as to how great this movie is. This is a classic, and your facial expressions fail to belie how the rest of us feel! Killer robots are class!
"Baby Arnold" was 37 when this came out. Nice to know I can potentially still call myself a baby, though.
He was also already a millionaire before he even made this film...
When the Terminator looks into the phone book, for a short second his left hand has the fingers hovering over "John Connor"
This movie is a timeless classic! Personally I recommend stopping at T2 but you do what you want. :)
The one continuity error I saw way back when, can never unsee it and see it everytime... The 3 Sarah Connor phonebook street addresses are 1823, 2816 and 309 but the address above the door of the first Saran Connor is 14239
never noticed that!
Awesome reaction for my favorite movie! :) I'm big glad that you chose to react to this one! :)
Glad you enjoyed it!!
No, we did have numbers memorized. The phone book was for strangers or people you didn't talk to often and businesses but other than that we memorized everyone else's number. And of all you know our the persons name there was no better way. You have to call all the names listed in the phone book if they had the same name. Knowing their middle name or initial would help. Also everyone was not listed. My family always paid for our number to NOT be listed because they didn't want anyone to be able to just get our number and address.
The cops aren't leaving their guns in the passenger seats. It's in a holder made for the shot gun and is located in the crib so they can gain acess quickly. What they are doing wrong is leaving the door unlocked. Back then you would have to be totally insane to steel a cop car i think that might stop hold true today.
Leaving shotguns unattended in unlocked police cars..., that's the REAL crime in this movie!
" That's the REAL crime in this movie!" should be your catch-phrase!
The two famous quotes from this movie, "Come with me if you want to live" and "I'll be back"
those lines will never die...
@@Metzwerg74 Mostly because every single Arnold Schwarzenegger action film made since won`t let them!
The naked Arnold in the first two scenes were actually blacked out in the originals, but modern screens are much sharper and show it very clearly.
Yeah, that Arnold. That terminator just kept going. It was crazy! I'm glad Sarah Connor the mother of John in the future managed to get away. Have you seen An American Werewolf In London? It was an 80's horror/comedy classic. Maybe sometime you could do a reaction video of that? I'm sure you would love it.
At the end of the story . . . All those co-workers at
BIG BUNS restaurant are guessing as to what their Sarah
has been up to in just the past couple of days - - -
1 murdered guy in the gun store
2 gals named Sarah murdered
2 dead in her apartment
several killed in that club Tech Noir
17 cops dead in that Police Substation
Sarah's mother murdered
1 pickup truck and 1 motorcycle, both wrecked
1 Body left dead on the freeway
One 18 wheeler gas tanker truck burning
1 body and 1 squished robot found in a machine shop
AND 1 dead cat in the terminator hideout room !
YUP . . . Our Sarah
really knows how to do the town.
One of the most satisfying scenes in T2 is the psychiatrist finally seeing the terminator.
Yet when he appeared for the final time in T3 he was back in full-on denial mode!
I like the scene where Silberman says "Why didn't you bring any ray guns?" I got another time travel movie for you to react to it's one of my favorites, The Final Countdown (1980) The U.S.S. Nimitz goes back to December 6th, 1941. It's filmed on the Nimitz. It's like Top Gun meets Back to the Future.
Hey Gorgeous! Shout out from the US Marine Corps! 08:00 That's the neighbor in Gremlins! I fell in love with this movie as a kid in the 80s! just like Predator, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Lost Boys, Beverly Hills Cop, and Back To The Future! There are thousands of great 80s movies out there! Better Off Dead was a classic! Glad to see you love this movie! Keep up the great reactions!❤🤍💙💛
I've watched a few female reactions to The Terminator, and their instincts and theories have been top notch. Some making amazing leaps as to how Skynet developed. I didn't come close when I watched it when i was young.
Watching a few, I would have skipped to certain parts, but this lady's analysis is tight through out.
A lot of burglar alarms were "silent" alarms that most people could not hear, but that rung audibly at a company office. The company then called the cops.
I can't be the only one that kinda wants to marry Nicolette. She is such an intelligent and hilarious person. I'm so happy to see her on another channel. More videos with her please!
Go ahead; first and last reaction video of hers I care to watch.
She is a great reviewer. I like her way of doing the reactions. Hopefully she does more. Also it would be a privilege to meet her as she is smart and sweet.
Always a big red flag for women when a guy they’ve never met starts talking about marrying them. Thirsty much?
@@coolerthanmoney4468 I hear that. Personally I think getting to know them as a person should be the first thing one does but that is just me. Some of the men on here just make me shake my head.
Machines from the future : "Simp detected; send a terminator"
" Press the big red button ....press the big red button" The big red button is ALWAYS stop-the-machine , press the little green one instead
43:10 "Come back to see me reacto to Terminator 2."
Must resist.
Must. Resist...
Must... Not... Say... The... Thing...
I'll be back!
(I tried, I really tried, but I couldn't stop myself.)
Btw, the computer factory at the end was Cyberdyne which is Skynet. In the extended cut, they went there on purpose to stop Judgement Day.
Dude. No shit, for whatever reason my parents let me watch this when I was like six. And when that Tonka truck got run over, I distinctly remember my parents being like "pick up your toys!"
xD
T2 is even better IMO. Love your enthusiasm for this one and can’t wait for you to react to the next. Enjoy and have a great day.
My dad show me how to hotwire a car back in the day not for any criminal reasons it was insanely easy in Hollywood movies they do it wrong but were so close we figured they just don't want to show people how to really do it
Can‘t wait your reaction for the second part. Arnie is back as the villain and it‘s considered one of the best sequels of all time
@theAdMax1 Yes agreed T 2 is sooo good and one of the all time great sci -fi action thrillers .
along with ALIENS as two of the best sequels ever to any franchise both directed by CAMERON.
Arnie is back in top form but back as a villain you say ?🤔
Ahh i see maybe you 're playing some trick shhhh no spoilers for Nicolette i'll wait for her reaction .🤫
Great reaction Nicolette
enjoy the weekend
CHEERS .
The part that bothers me most is that Sarah didn't get to enjoy that pizza.
So true
@@criminalcontent Will you be watching them in chronological order ?
@@kylereese4822 we've only recorded T2 so far, so that will be next - is this referring to where Genisys / Dark Fate timelines go?
And Ginger never got to enjoy her sandwich and milk!🤨
@@x_trio_3_po333 yeah but…..
Can't wait to see your reaction to T2. I was 13 when The Terminator came out and 20 when T2 came out and they are two of my favorite movies ever. But I will say that T2 is one of those rare instances where the sequel is better than the original.
15:01 Ginger is played by Bess Motta. The reason her legs are so toned is because she's an exercise demonstrator and appeared in the Canadian produced television series "20 Minute Workout" for two seasons in 1983 and 1984.
audience could not have thought of a sequel. When it came out 7 years later, no one knew what would happen.
He'll find her... that's what he does... it's ALL he does!
Arnold Schwarzenegger wasn't Cameron's first choice to play the deadly cyborg. O.J. Simpson was originally considered but they decided O.J. could never be credible as a remorseless killer.
If the role doesn’t fit…
The jury didn't think he could be a remorseless killer either.
The lion has a name. He is "Leo the Lion" & he started working at MGM in 1957. Worked there for over 50 years. If you saw a lion in an MGM movie, it was probably Leo.
No it wasn't scandalous. Nudity was a lot more common in movies back then (for men and women).
23:03 Dr. Peter Silberman. If you have occasion to watch this move additional times, you will find yourself hating this guy more and more.
The MGM lion's name is Leo. He is the 8th lion MGM has used. He was born in 1956 and has been the mascot since 1957. The longest and oldest mascot to date with MGM.
Prior to his successful acting career, Arnold Schwarzenegger was a successful businessman and bodybuilder. Another film from this production company worth watching is RoboCop. The most recent entry in this franchise is the first person shooter Terminator Resistance
3:55 "Was this, like, _very scandalous_ when it came out?"
No. It's Rated R. This is why. This is _not_ content for children.
4:28 _Not_ content for _children._
Fun Fact: Arnold Schwarzenegger was originally cast as the good guy but when he read the script he liked the told or character of the Terminator more so like when he and James met for lunch or whatever Arnold mentioned it to him and James went with it
Sarah was thinking of Kyle when the picture was taken. This is my favorite thing about the film. Kyle's story is so tragic, yet so beautiful. All he's ever experienced is pain and survival. A picture of Sarah gave him comfort and peace in such a horrific world. Then he meets her, and experiences genuine joy in that motel room, probably for the first time in his life. He smiles for the only time in the film after he dresses back up. Then he dies moments after finally being loved. I like to think he'd believe it was all worth it...
"I came across time for you, Sarah." - Kyle Reese
the lion's name is literally Leo, back then, going back to the 30s, you could get your picture taken with Leo
The “come with me if you want to live” meme is from this movie. It’s sort of like watching “Halloween” and noticing the cliche scenes, then realizing many of them came from that movie.
Did you miss the significance of the picture the kid took at the end?
Great reaction.
The MGM Lion is named Leo, of course.......
2 is even better. Bigger budget, better effects.
In a deleted scene, that end place is indeed Cyberdyne Systems...
"Cut your losses, you have not known him that long"
And that explains all the single moms nowdays
He (Kyle) didn't die...but yes...L.A. is purgatory.🤔😁
Alfred the Lion already has a name: Leo the Lion.
Well, that's the trademark name.
Many lions were filmed:
1st lion was named Slats.
2nd was Jackie, also the first to roar.
3rd was Bill.
4th was Telly.
5th was Coffee.
6th was Tanner.
All the above were filmed before 1935.
7th was George.
8th was actually named Leo and he was filmed in 1957 for the logo and that's the one still used today.
But now MGM calls them all "Leo the Lion" in marketing materials.
Side note, many different roars were used over time, but the most famous roar is actually a tiger, not a lion, because real lion roars are less "ferocious and majestic" than tiger roars, according to the recording artist who recorded it.
I just notice the price of gas as she pulled into the station at the end.
40.3 per liter is about $1.50 per gallon.
The 80s were less into electronic alarms and more into physical prevention, such as bars over windows, rolling gates, &c; also alarms were typically silent, and would simply call for help without alerting the perp.
The first noisy crime alarms I remember were car alarms. Initially were more basic but then they quickly started trying to outdo each other with louder and cuter noises. Not sure but that might be from where they were adapted for other uses.
28:21 "Is this a back to the future crossover?" 😄😄😄😄
one of the cases when a very good book was written based on a movie (however, the one about the second one is insanely stupid!). As for T-2, I strongly advise you to watch the original movie version, and not one of the many with added scenes, or more bad - with an alternate ending apparently filmed with the last $5 of the budget. 😊
You might not have known this when you made the comment "This guy got economy and Arnold got first class" (4:50) but you probably know it now.
They got the same ride, but the human found it a very difficult trip and needed a moment to recover, while the cyborg machine recovered instantly.
I mention that as one of the many excellent details in this movie; they even thought about how fictional time travel might affect fictional cyborgs differently than humans.
I saw this when I was a little kid in the late ‘80s and it was so intense! The Terminator, a nearly indestructible robot, was scary!
James asked Arnold, "why do you want to play the villain so bad?"
Arnie replied, "Because everyone always remembers the villain."
He was right.
Here is the thing this happened to me and why I have PTSD. I got trapped in a burning truck.
Shot mostly Gonzo no permissions illegally, the most expensive parts were the arnold robotics heads....for 6 mil! First person killed is Bill Paxton! He, arnold, linda, Michael Biehn, and many others....james uses over and over in his movies! Bill and james started in movies together, mostly sets, design, costumes. James had only done a few shorts and b movies before this, but ine of his sci-fi shorts was actually cutting edge storytelling. While filming this, Biehn said he would hang out in James trailer at jight, and saw that he was working on 2-3 scripts simultaneously... Terminator 2, The Abyss, and Aliens. And yes, Biehn is in all of them, and arnold and bill and several others ...
"sorry, almost-murders make me sneeze"😆
That is because in 80s cars were made of steel, and were designed to survive crashes. Not like todays plastic protection via distingrating car designs
I can’t take this reactor’s personality. Give me Coby any day of the week!
Given the nature of the channel, I'd like to suggest a series of video where a couple of reactors (definitely including Nicolette if possible) react to both the original and remake of heist films. Obvious examples are The Italian Job (1969 & 2003), The Thomas Crown Affair (1968 & 1999), and Ocean's Eleven (1960 & 2001). The videos you're doing so far are good, but they're the same films every reactor covers.
completely agree - just building the base a little so that we can hace more eyeballs so we can introduce new generation to these,
32:45 "How do you make a Molotov cocktail? I don't know the recipe."
At the risk of enabling your anarchy, here's the recipe.
1. Take any bottle of alcohol. HIgh "proof" alcohol is preferred.
2. Remove cap.
3. Insert rag into bottle neck so it soaks up alcohol.
4. Heat to desired temperature with any open flame. A lighter, candle, or cigarette will suffice.
5. Throw immediately.
Pretty basic really; you can season to your own taste.
It's awesome Nicolette has seen this iconic sci fi classic :) I hope she can react to it's amazing sequel Terminator 2 soon & further sequels Terminator 3 & Terminator: Genysis :) I love these movies and I enjoy Nicolette's reactions along with Cami, Amelia, Coby & Nicki :)
How does a local veteran cop know where a local nightclub is? Hmmm.....
Also, you don't get her transformation til T2. Yo, those were '70's cars. The photo was from a Polaroid camera. Self-developing in about a minute. Nice bullet stopper too. Seriously. Try to tear one and you'll see.
Nicolette: Sarah Connor. A lot of Sarah Connors.
Me: not for long.
Also, the cop countdown was one of the funniest/coldest things I’ve seen in a while. 😂
who is she man she looks FAR MORE BEAUTIFUL than WHOLE Bollywood actresses combined 😎🔥❤️
“Stop telling model numbers, how does that add to the story?”
Could it be a much quicker way of saying there’s lots of different types of them all being made in factories than if he were to say “there’s lots of different types of them all being made in factories?” 🤔
I happen to know that the lion's name is Jack (or at least one of them). I randomly stumbled on a photo of the crew shooting the piece just the other day.
