    Jordan always credit for being stoic and no goofy faces giving stuff away, and Chandra for just being a movie fan and going for the ride without criticizing 80s special effects .

      I have been on TH-cam long enough to remember I learned just that from a YT comment on a T-800 arrival video in either 2011 or 2012.
      I showed the 'Possible answers' scene to my Terminator-unaware flatmate and she thought it was hilarious. A few days later when she got home drunk after a party she randomly posted on my facebook "Fuck you, asshole - Terminator" before going to sleep.

    This film actually mostly takes place on Friday 13th. In the early scene where Kyle asks the cop what day it is, he says it's Thursday, May 12th. The next day Ginger says Sarah's date shouldn't treat her like that on Friday night. So the killing of the gun store owner, the other Sarahs, Matt and Ginger and the attack on the police station all happens on F13.

      here's my take on the movies chronology:
      Thursday May 12th:
      Late evening:
      Terminator arrives
      Kills 2 punks, takes clothing from survivor punk
      Kyle arrives
      Takes clothing and is chased by police before going to ground, obtains police shotgun
      Friday May 13th:
      Morning:
      Kyle modifies shotgun, begins finding Sarah
      Terminator obtains weapons, somewhere to hide out, locates Sarah 1& 2 via phone book and executes them.
      Sarah begins her job at restaurant, we see her life is mundane. She finishes her day.
      Friday May 13th
      Early evening:
      Enter Ginger, her flatmate.
      Enter Matt, Gingers boyfriend.
      Sarah goes out alone, Kyle has located her, presumably the same way Terminator did.
      Terminator locates real Sarah Connor, kills Ginger in error, Matt is collateral.
      Friday May 13th:
      Late evening:
      The second Sarah is found dead, enter detectives Traxler & Vukovich.
      Sarah is located by Kyle & Terminator in Tech Noir on Pico.
      After a chase, Kyle and Sarah are arrested,
      Terminator escapes and begins repairs to itself.
      Terminator goes out again after repairs and kills 30+ police officers in a police station massacre.
      Kyle & Sarah escape and hunker down under bridge for the night.
      Saturday May 14th:
      Morning:
      Terminator goes over Sarah's diary looking for a tactical advantage, selecting Sarah's mother.
      Kyle and Sarah emerge, Kyle has a pocket load of money (from Police Station?) and they stay at Tiki Motel. Kyle goes out to get supplies.
      Early evening:
      Terminator kills Sarah's mother and awaits a call. Locates Sarah.
      Sarah and Kyle make love, creating John Connor.
      Terminator returns.
      Late night Saturday May 14th:
      After a chase, Kyle and Sarah encounter the robot part of the Terminator after the tanker explosion.
      Kyle dies, Terminator is crushed, Sarah calls for help, which arrives early morning Sunday May 15th. Sarah probably found somewhere quiet to sit in the factory to calm down before calling 911.

      It's interesting that he includes the day of the week, though. If you check the calendar for 1984, which we're specifically told is the year, you find that May 12 was in fact a Saturday. However, it _was_ a Thursday in 1983. That's when the script was written, and they chose not to change it.

    Most people don't catch the cyclic detail regarding the photograph on their first watch. When Kyle tells Sarah about the picture he says "You looked so sad; I always wondered what you were thinking about." Her expression is one of profound love and loss, because she was thinking about Kyle. When the kid snaps the picture, it's right after Sarah mentions that "In the few short hours [they] had together, [they] loved a lifetime's worth." That circular setup gives more emotional context around the line "I came across time for you, Sarah." and makes it (in my opinion) the most romantic line in sci-fi cinema.

    It's a cool detail that you pointed out how Arnold was so intense with even looking around. When discussing the role with the Director, James Cameron, Arnold said that whoever you cast to play the role has to act like a machine. They have to be efficient in what they do. They don't stumble, they don't look at a gun when they reload, they don't blink, and they move their eyes before they turn their head because that is what would be most efficient to a machine. Love the craft that went into this movie.

    Movie note: Actor James Remar was cast to play Hicks in "Aliens" but while he was in London for the shoot, he got busted for drug possession. So James Cameron got Michael Biehn to replace him at the last minute, seeing as how they had already worked together on "Terminator".

He had put so much of his own money into making it that he was becoming broke very fast, so broke, in fact, that his mother would send him 2 for 1 coupons for McDonald's. James would buy 2 Big Macs and save the second for the next day just so he could eat while making this movie.

    Great reaction to a real classic
    1) It's an amzing achievement, especially if you consider, that "Terminator" was a low budget movie that only had a budget of 6.500.000 Dollars.
    2) Fun Fact: Bill Paxton is the only actor who was killed by a Terminator, a Predator and an Alien!
    3) Lance Henriksen originally auditioned for the part of the "Terminator" and Schwarzenegger was offered the role of "Kyle Reese"
    4) Lance Henriksen and Bill Paxton (together with Jeanette "Vasquez" Goldstein) all appear as a vampire-family in the vampire-neowestern-roadmovie "NEAR DARK"

    We studied this in film school as an example of a near perfect script. There's no fat, no excess. Every scene serves a purpose, nearly every line serves the greater purpose. The exposition dump takes place during a car chase. Literally every single scent is present on screen.
    Also, (trivia) Lance Henrickson (Det Vukovich, Bishop in Aliens) was the original Terminator. When Cameron was doing his initial pitch meeting with the studio, he had Lance Henrickson come into the room dressed as the Terminator and just stare down the producers. Did a good enough job that they greenlit the movie, Cameron eventually face the role to Arnold, but he so liked Henrickson's performance he cast his as the android, sorry artificial person, in Aliens.

    02:07: The theme song is actually in 13/16 time. Brad Fidel made a mistake when compositing things together (since this was WELL before digital compositing) and ended up with weirdness. And he was basically just messing around, figuring out what sounded good, so when he was asked for the original sheet music for a movie theme special, he had to say "There isn't any," then work backwards and create sheet music from the original recordings.
    34:32: Kyle said, when he told Sarah about that photo, he always wondered what she was thinking about in that moment. Turns out, she was thinking about Kyle.
    Also, "The Terminator" is sometimes regarded as the only film in which the sex scene was *absolutely necessary* to the plot.
    Not 80s, but a GREAT underrated 90s action movie is "Soldier" starring Kurt Russel.

    Fun fact: Lance Henriksen, the slimmer detective (also Bishop) first applied to the role of Terminator. He actually went on set in full make-up and scared the heck out of people.
    That rise of the Terminator from the fire was a dream that James Cameron had.

    This Movie Takes Place In Los Angeles 12th May, 1984 when I Senior in HS in LA. The Clothes like what the Terminator Jacket wore was Spot on. I wore Black Studded Cut-Off Gloves around Downtown LA back then. I'm sure I Cruised the Boulevard Close to Tech-Noir where they Filmed and Yes the Streets were Filthy back then too.

    Michael Biehn's stunt double actually performed that shot of Reese falling into the past for real. A lot of shots were done quickly as they only had a license to film in certain areas on certain days so they had the stuntman climb on to a board wedged between two ladders and kind of slide off it on to the pavement with no crash mat. Real heroic stuntman to get what is an iconic shot with the realism intact. If you pause just right you also catch a shot of Reese's stuntman when he's hitting the Terminator skeleton with a crowbar before being knocked aside.

    "Those bullet holes are so big!" Shotgun sizes are rated by what fraction of a pound of lead sphere could be fired from it, resulting in larger bores than typical rifles, and especially so for handguns. And if using slugs, this means a larger single bullet (although typically slower moving than a rifle bullet). Caliber is the diameter in inches. Most rifles and pistols stop at .50 caliber, barring some of the more exotic ones. Here's the conversion for commonly available shotgun sizes: 410 = .41 caliber, 28 gauge = .55 caliber, 20 gauge = .615 caliber, 16 gauge = .663 caliber, 12 gauge = .729, 10 gauge = .775 caliber. Additionally, shotguns usually fire "shot" (multiple metal balls that are smaller, so that it produces a somewhat cone-like spread). 12 gauge is the most popular for things like law enforcement and deer hunting. The smaller calibers are typically for smaller game, with 20 being preferable to 12 for more practical common civilian use, due to it having less recoil, thus being easier to utilize. 410 is often considered a "kid's shotgun", what a 5-10 year old would learn to shoot with.

    4:54 Nike Vandals. THAT is how you do product placement.
    5:10 Fun fact: Michael uses Ithaca 37s in both this and 'Aliens'. This one is the M&P (Military & Police) version (20" barrel, holds 7+1 rounds, standard-length shells only). Hicks's is the Stakeout version (14" barrel, holds 4+1 rounds, standard-length shells only). Both can accept all the same types of stocks, but the M&P comes standard with a regular one (some call that style a "wrist stock"), whereas the Stakeout comes standard with a stockless pistol grip. Fixed stocks are always preferred whenever possible. Stockless pistol grips are trash because they remove a significant point of contact. Folding stocks split the diff, giving the user a stock when it's needed, but it can be folded when the gun needs to be stowed in a confined space (like a patrol car).
    5:19 U.S.-issue officer's raincoat. OD green. Vietnam War surplus. Colonel Trautman wore the same type of coat in First Blood. They call it a raincoat, but it's cut like a classic British-style double-breasted belted trench coat.
    5:25 Michael C. Biehn glancing over the name "Michael B. Connor."
    6:28 Ackchyually, it's an AMT Hardballer (one of a multitude of pistols based on the Colt 1911). ".45 long-slide" is just a generic nickname.
    6:56 Reese only trimmed off the stock so he could fit that do0mstick under his coat. Under most circumstances, it's better to have a stock.
    7:04 Can't trim the barrel on that particular model since it already has a flush-fit magazine tube. It's as short as it can be up front.
    8:45 In the game, Terminator: Resistance, you play as the soldier who goes out there and rescues Reese right after that happened.
    10:26 Reese has the best leitmotif.
    11:32 The name "Tech-Noir" literally describes the genre of the movie, as pointed out by James Rolfe. Reese even looks like a noir-style hero, but with a soldier's color scheme instead of a detective's.
    14:51 Fun fact: Mike's intense acting in that scene is generally regarded as the right way to do an exposition dump.
    15:30 Who other than Michael Biehn could have played Kyle Reese so perfectly?!
    16:29 Mike studied the Warsaw Ghetto resistance fighters in order to get a feel for how Reese should move, think, and act.
    19:28 Technically, Terminators do "feel" pain, but they interpret it as mundane diagnostic information.
    21:15 He's gunzerking! He's got an American Armalite AR-18 (5.56mm) in his right hand and an Italian Franchi SPAS-12 (12-gauge) in his left hand. So if he was in Borderlands, basically a Dahl assault rifle and a Hyperion shotgun.
    25:30 That one is a T-102 played by Franco Columbu. You can play as that model in Terminator: Resistance.
    26:07 Notice how all that battle damage has caused his flesh to become gangrenous.
    29:35 Refer back to [ 7:19 ].
    32:40 Linda Hamilton actually did sprain her ankle while working on this movie.

    There's so much trivia spawned by this film and the Cameronverse. Michael Bien, who played Reese/Cpl Hicks was a rockstar in the industry at this point, and would take a long hiatus from Hollywood a few years later, emerging every now and then to do lone films, and then fade from view again. In the last decade he has started to really re-emerge starting by voicing the main character of Farcry Bloodragon, which was essentially just a giant nostalgia machine meant to replicate the glorious cheese and lazer effects of the 1980's.

    This film is actually the reason Aliens was made by James Cameron. He had asked 20th Century Fox about directing a sequel to Alien, but so far he hadn't directed a huge studio production, so he had to first prove he could make a successful film. He was able to make his own movie, The Terminator, and if it were successful and made back it's money, then he would be allowed to get his chance at Aliens. The budget was 6.4 million to make Terminator, but it's box office was 78.3 million. After Terminator and Aliens, James Cameron would be one of the biggest Directors in Hollywood, making hit after hit with huge budget blockbusters.

Terminator 2 was light years better in production and effects due to time, improved special effects, and a colossal budget. However, Terminator 2 was a sci-fi action buddy film, but it wasn't as dark and intense, which was a departure from the first.
