"Would you be scared of a robot who has a limp?"
If I watched that robot develop that limp after shrugging off 400 rounds of ammunition, 4 car crashes, a truck explosion and an oil fire that melted all its 'skin' off...
.................yes........... that would be the most terrifying limp on gods green earth 😳
Touché. LoL
'Tis but a scratch.....
I've had worse..!!
And you (yourself) are tired hurt, burnt a little and eventually gonna slow down. Terminator ain't getting tired EVER, the limp just makes it somewhat more equal..a bit.
I actually felt like the limp sort of underscored just how relentless he was.
@@richardrobbins387 it was in The DVD Commentary (or BTS, I can't remember) that it was stated that, The Flesh that it uses as a disguise, really hinders the/ir movement. So in essence.. when it was all burned away. It's movement became/was more fluent and quicker.
You do not know how lucky you are to be seeing these for the first time. And 2 is an absolute masterpiece.
He actually thought he'd seen this one before, but after watching it and realizing the time line of when he saw one in the theaters, it became obvious he's never seen the first two. So we're def gonna do T2 soon. Can't wait for people to call me a liar for saying he'd seen it on the poll, but it is what it is. LoL
@@EOMReacts oh really that's cool
@@EOMReacts Feels to me like maybe he has seen T2, long ago, and just forgot. Because he referred to them arriving in bubbles, then he corrected to saying lightning, lol. They aren't bubbles until T2, lol.
100%

One of the saddest parts for me in hindsight was when Kyle was talking about that picture he had of her, and how he'd always wondered what she was thinking about in that moment. She was thinking of him. And it feels like an extra layer of loss to me that he'll never know that, because you can imagine how much that would have meant to him.
True. But, I liked that he was focused on the gas prices at the Mexican gas station. 41 cents/liter. Dang, you know it's bad when you're looking at every day items and comparing the prices to the ones you're paying now.
Glad Sarah didn't go grocery shopping or show the prices on the menu where she worked
Yikes. haha
I can’t count how many times I’ve seen this and T2, and only this past year did I realize that… that she was thinking of him when the photo was taken, and he mentioned she seemed sad in it, wondered what she was thinking about… this is James Cameron in his bag.
I never connected that, but you're exactly right. Such a deep movie.
OMG... your obsession with Reese wearing the homeless man's pants and free balling made me cry laughing.
our boy was more worried about the pants than the Cyborg Apocalypse!
Well, you never disappoint in your reactions. Hundreds of people dying, bullets everywhere, Sarah being tracked down by half a robot- and you....???? Can't believe he's freeballing in a homeless guy's pants. LMAO.
When I was a kid in the bronx, I saw a homeless guy drop trou, shit and pull his pants back up then cross the street like it was nothing. 😐 Now, I’m not saying that all homeless people do it, but I wouldn’t freeball in their pants. 😂
(No disrespect to the homeless cuz lord knows they’re going through some shit)
"Tell me about where you're from." "It looks just like Detroit." - you're funny, man!
“My man is free-balling in some homeless pants” is the single greatest commentary line that has ever been spoken…..then again the whole critique since he put the pants on had me lmao and in shock because, as I am turning 45 in March, I’ve seen this movie countless times and I’ve never even though about that. Leave it you to bring it to our attention!!
Rest in peace Bill Paxton. Fun factoid: Bill Paxton is one of the only actors who have been in the holy trinity of Scifi horror movies...Terminator, Aliens and Predator 2! Along with Lance Hendrickson...Terminator, Aliens and then Aliens vs. Predator.
At least you didn't say he got killed by all three
The novelization provided some interesting backstory for Reese and John.
John never told Reese that they were related. Once he came to power he found Reese and had him assigned to a unit close to his inner circle.
Just before they sent Reese back in time, John walked into the room and asked to speak to him alone.
He made Reese recite the speech he later said to Sarah until he had it down. He then stood looked at Kyle and grabbed him in a bare hug. Then before Reese could say anything he walked out of the room.
Once the time travel jump was done, John broke down in tears and told his officers the truth that Kyle Reese completed his mission, died and was his father.
Wow. I want to read that!
The Terminator Dawn Of Fate video game was set in 2029 and had Connor almost telling Reese the truth a couple of times and "Perry" questioning why Connor treated Reese the way he did.
@@lewisner That’s really cool
@@elizabethparker4511 The novelization came out in 1984 the same year as the movie. It may not be in print still.
@@technopirate304there’s an ebook version floating around though
"I came across time for you"--the world's best pickup line, but only if it's literally true.
As good as " I've crossed oceans of time to find you" (Bram Stokers Dracula)
@@legendary6890 Ooh, so classy! "Come with me if you want to live" is pretty good, too, if her life is really in danger and you're the only one who can save her, that is. 😉
Even the Terminator in the second movie knew this was a good line :)
As mentioned in the future, dogs are used to spot Terminators. Somehow humans and dogs are so symbiotic that pooches can spot a Terminator on sight.
In the novelization, the author supposed that dogs can look into a man’s eyes and recognize a human soul staring back. But a Terminator is a machine and doesn’t have one.
Due to this great ability dogs are considered fellow soldiers in the war of survival. No soldier in the future will let a dog go hungry or hurt if they can help it.
Early in the novel, Reese is walking through downtown LA eating pizza for the first time in his life. He is shocked at how clean and beautiful everything is. As he walks along a stray dog walks up begging for food. Recognizing the soldiers code, Kyle immediately gives up the rest of his slice to the dog.
They can hear the robotic gears through the off smelling slowly decaying skin suit. 🤔
@@mokane86 I think the sound and smell was mentioned as a giveaway for earlier less human looking models.
But it’s been almost 40 years since I read it so you could be right.
@@technopirate304 no. It's the smell. Notice how Kyle walks up to the dogs to feel their noses, before petting them.. it's to quicken up their process while also giving them Love. ^_^
Robots won't do that. But they will surround themselves with slaves to (confuse the dogs senses AND) get as close as they can to the enemy.
Kyle Reese is played by Michael Biehn who is also in Aliens, he played marine Hicks.
Also one of the band of cowboys in Tombstone. The show off twirling his gun until Doc Holiday shows him what a real gun slinger can do.
@@jessecortez9449 Johnny Ringo
Before Arnold Schwarzenegger was cast as the titular character, Sylvester Stallone, Tom Selleck, Lance Henriksen and Mel Gibson were considered for the part. OJ Simpson was considered to play the character, but James Cameron changed his mind saying, "He's too much of a nice guy to play the role of a ruthless killer." 😳🤦
Bruce Springsteen, Michael O'Keefe, Tommy Lee Jones, Sting, Christopher Reeve, Scott Glenn, and Matt Dillon were considered for Kyle Reese.
Lea Thompson, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Jessica Harper, Melissa Sue Anderson, Rosanna Arquette, and Lisa Langolis were considered for Sarah Connor.
A big yellow book of snitches is hilarious and so true! 😂 😂 I can’t believe I never thought about how strange it was we use to make addresses public.
Theyre still public. Theyre just online, not in a book.
I LOVE how you call us all out whenever you get jump-scared. Just know we're laughing WITH you, not AT you, okay? :)
Yes, Lance Henriksen played Bishop in _Aliens_ , which was also written and directed by James Cameron. That was his second movie, and _The Terminator_ was his first. Henriksen was originally hired to play the Terminator and Cameron was talking to Arnold about playing Kyle, but then Cameron decided that Arnold would make a great Terminator, and gave him the role instead.
By the way, the punk with the tire treads on his face was played by Bill Paxton, who played Hudson in _Aliens_ , and Michael Biehn, who plays Kyle here, played Hicks in _Aliens_ . You'll find that a lot of the same actors keep popping up in Cameron's movies, simply because he liked working with them. There are more movies featuring these two (and others), as examples. Biehn is in _The Abyss_ as Coffey, and Paxton is in _True Lies_ as Simon and _Titanic_ as Brock Lovett.
What's insane is Cameron was writing Aliens at the same time he was filming this
Boom! Everything I came to say...
Add Janette Goldstein to the list of 'go-to' actors for Cameron. Made her debut as Vasquez in Aliens, plays Janelle in T2 (no spoilers as to her character) and has a cameo as an Irish mother in Titanic. She was also in Near Dark along with Paxton & Henriksen. Small world.
I like Hendrickson...but he wouldn't have made a good Terminator
The woman who places Vasquez in Aliens, John's foster mom in T2, and a mom with kids (who all die) in Titanic are all the same person.
Arnold virtually always plays the good guy, but the great irony of his career is that one of his few villain roles, this one, was what propelled him to superstardom. To my knowledge, he only ever played a villain on one other occasion, which was _Batman & Robin_ , in which he played Mr. Freeze. Arnold is known for being the hero, but he's great at playing bad guys, too. And he's great at both action movies and comedies, as well.
He's the villain in Jingle All The Way 😂
He's pretty much a bad guy in Sabotage. They try to justify his actions in the final scene, but he does some pretty shady stuff in that movie.
Reese fell in love with Sarah from a picture. He always wondered what the expression on her face was... it looked like she was thinking about something. And as it turns out, she was thinking of him and her love for him.
18:45 - all cars in the eighties were highly explosive. Plenty of movies from that era demonstrated this. It's good that they've since fixed that problem in many modern vehicles.
With the way electric cars light up like a Roman candle, it’s gonna be funny to see those over the top explosions make a comeback. 🌝
Best line in the movie, the super:
"Hey buddy, you got a dead cat in there, or what?"
The reason the answering machines were so big back then is because they were just special tape-recorders, and earlier models (like the one in the movie) needed TWO tapes, one for the outgoing message, and another for the incoming messages. Later on they started using smaller cassettes, and eventually they started using chips to store the audio instead of cassettes.
As an old fart, I can confirm this information is correct.
He’s only 5 years younger than I am. Not sure why he even asked the question
Possibly one of the best atmospheric horror/action films. The music, the effects, the story. All of it clicked. The flashback to the war is just masterful. No words, just humans living like rats then boom, terminator ambush. Burning red eyes for good measure. Terminator 2?? Psh best action film of all time in my opinion.
T2 def coming soon.
Correct sir T2 is a masterpiece.
Just like the club, this movie’s atmos is Tech Noir! And I love it!
@@EOMReactsT2 explains things a little more… but the subsequent terminator movies are crap in comparisons and realistically can be ignored.
John setting up Reese not only to fall for Sarah by giving him the picture, but to die for her (and John), is some next-level mind f**king. How cold do you have to be to do that to your own father?
Sarah wasn't really in the best headspace to be an effective mother/parental influence on young John, as can be seen in T2. It's not a tremendous leap of logic to think that Johnny boy grew up into a cold, hard leader capable of making those sorts of ruthless decisions.
What if he doesn't send her back? He never exists, and the human resistance might never rise.
@@atraxos I always had the feeling that John had no idea the guy turns out to be his father, and the time traveller himself was just a really good friend.
Lance Henriksen was _supposed_ to *be* the terminator (look up the story of his audition...it's 🔥!). Arnie was gonna be the human fella...but insisted on being the robut instead.
So Cameron did a lil rewrite and promised Lance he would be a badass robut in another movie...and hence, Bishop in Aliens.
Lance stayed a badass til today. 😊
Recently watched "Hatchet man" again after many years.
Not spoiling too much but I love Sarah's transformation from T1 to T2!!!
bishop, hudson and hicks are all in there. Haha. Loved the reaction.
as soon as im no longer unemployed n homeless im sending you some support. thx for keeping me alive with entertainment.
You guys make it totally worth it. We know we’d never be anywhere without the family.
"He out here looking like fatty wap"
I'm fucking dead 😳🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love how lost you were on the time travel aspects. I was laughing when you struggled to understand the relationship between Sarah, Reese, and John.
Can't wait for your reaction to Terminator 2. In my opinion it's the best one out-of all
@DaWun2410 In my opinion those are the only two MOVIES worth watching at all.
Happy Birthday! Thanks for this present you gave to us!
Hard to believe that this was a low budget production that costed about 8.5 mio $ (T2 more than 10 times that much).
Fun fact: Bill Paxton and Lance Henrikson have both been killed/destroyed by the Terminator, a Predator and an Alien.
It did make me chuckle how long it took for you to see Arnold as the bad guy. It took many movies after this one for people to see him as the big,fun, lovable character...because for years he was mean-ass Terminator.
Terminator 2 is a must watch. Some people think it's better .
It's great but I prefer this one for its dark tone and how relentless the terminator is.
I’m one of the ones that like it better
Yep, one of the very rare cases where, for me, the sequel is even better.
@@RaefonB yeah I totally understand liking the first terminator or Alien movie, but even if someone likes the original better, we can agree James Cameron knows how to do a sequel
@@jarrodoakley6911 Agreed :D
Good job recognizing Bishop from Aliens. But you didn't recognize Reese from Aliens. He was Corporal Hicks. And, that punk kid with the blue mohawk at the beginning was in Aliens. He was Pvt Hudson.
Hudson from Aliens was also in this. The blue haired dude at the start with the telescope. And Kyle was Hicks in Aliens.
This movie is great and undoubtedly a classic. The sequel... is one of the best sci-fi movies ever made and still holds up today. It was groundbreaking when it released and continues to receive praise through to today. I'm excited for you to check it out, since it should answer a lot of your questions about what was going on in this one.
Top tier review. Hopefully you do the sequel ASAP, you’ll enjoy it more that way, and we’ll be looking forward to it.
You were probably thinking part 2. In this one, Sara is just starting. In 2, she bad ass and buff. Even if you've seen it before, it's still a great movie and still has some CGI they stacks up today. Happy birthday and glad you liked your present.🎉
Makes me laugh every time you jump, I wait for the 'shut up' 🤣
Kyle was also in aliens. He was the lone marine survivor. Corporal Hicks.
Damm man, this dude so funny.
“What kind of dancing is this? Not one person dancing to the same song!”
😂😂😂
Remember when Kyle said he always wondered what she was thinking in that picture. It turns out she was thinking about him. Love the Terminator movies!!!!!
He gonna need every co-pilot for this series
Oh yeah man. You're in for a treat now. I must say tho before you get deep into this franchise...1 and 2 are the goats. Watch the rest at your own risk.
J took the correct mindset to deal with time travel paradoxes, which is what they said in Austin Powers 2: "I suggest you don't worry about those things and just enjoy yourself."
Repeat to yourself "It's just a show, I should really just relax."
Great reaction as always. Sorry I missed the premiere. The mouse fell off its wheel in J's head trying to figure it out logically. Hilarious. Can't wait for the next one! Great job editing, Blank!
When Reese asked the officer the date and you jumped, it’s a shame it was a Thursday and not a TUESDAY! 😊
I saw this in 1986 when I was 10. Scared me half to death!! Convinced myself that we had cyborg neighbours 😂😂😂. Happy Birthday 🥳
“Old dude killed three movies’ worth of people in one movie!”
LOL!
The fact that you kept getting so close to realizing the relationship between John, Reese and Sara lol. I just knew it was on the tip of your tongue and you would realize it at any moment. Only true Friends fans will get this but...I was like Chandler in the episode when Joey was close to figuring out that Monica was on the tape in Richard's apartment...I kept yelling, "get there faster!!!" 😂😂
I've always liked Paul Winfield. His most iconic role was probably the movie Sounder in 1972. I have a handful of his movies. Sounder, Conrack, White Dog, Blue City, Cliffhanger, Mike's Murder.
I watched White Dog way, way, way back when I was in high school. I believe it was for our Social Studies class. Excellent movie.
He also played Captain Terrell in Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan
@@technopirate304 Wasn't he also in the "Darmok" episode of Star Trek TNG?
@@goji8416 Yep under a ton of prosthetics
The Terminator getting his eyebrows burned 🔥 off from the explosion prior to his punching 👊 through the windshield to grab Sarah was a great idea for the makeup department.
No eyebrows gave the Terminator a more menacing look to his character. A feel like he's not quite human. Almost like an unstoppable Frankenstein monster!! -OG
The detective who you think looked like Jesse Jackson was played by Paul Winfield (1939 - 2004). I recall him from 'King' a miniseries in which he played Martin Luther King, which was on television many years ago
Electronics were big as hell in the 80's. Answering machines were basically big tape recorders in those times.
15:27 -- during dance scenes in movies (like in clubs, not like a ballet performance), there isn't any music playing. So you'll notice that everyone seems arrhythmic and awkward. They're not in sync because they're dancing to silence.
HBDay! Love me some Arnold! He was so big because he was 7 times Mr. Universe bodybuilder. Conan the Barbarian and Red Heat both showcase The Austrian Oak (his bodybuilder nickname). And you can see him grow as an actor, moving into action, comedy, sci-fi, thrillers and romance even. Keep him in mind cause you can't go wrong with Arnold.
she’s a badass in the second one. and that one is a freaking masterpiece. you MUST watch it.
"I can't believe this guy (Bleep) John Conners mom" Man I died Laughing
The actor from aliens playing the cop is Lance Henrickson. Great actor! He was in the tv series, Millennium, Alien v predator.
Any story involving time travel will always need plot shield. Time travel stories without exception come to a point where something needs to happen that can't possibly happen, and we all just say "ok I'm livin' in the moment", or what is called suspension of disbelief. We agree to it (or we don't, and stop watching), and go on enjoying a great story :)
Haha, you were so worried about the yucky pants he put on! Not that I disagree but I think he had more important things to worry about! Enjoyed your reactions.
To state the obvious, dry cleaning or laundromats aren't a thing in Kyle Reese's time.
You wait until T2: Judgement Day and you will take back the statement about her not being badass. The second movie is probably one of the best sequels to ever exist
Great reaction, especially at the end where you kept repeating ,"don't think about it ... living in the moment." That is exactly the correct attitude for watching movies in this franchise, as the holes in the logic keep geting larger with each movie added to it. Not everyone seems to see them though. So good on you that you can. It will better prepare you for the first sequel, which many (myself included) feel is better than this one.
But don't stop there, as the people who take this franchise way too seriously will tell you. The third installment has just as much drama and action as the first two. But in recognition of the ever increasing plot holes it also has some self-aware fun with itself too. So you are going to get some humor thrown in to make for an even more enjoyable experience, provided, of course you are still of your current mindset. If not you'll likely view it as the fanatics do, as blasphemy.
I don't much like the franchise after t2 but I will say that t3 has one of the best endings I have ever seen in any movie.
9:44 It might be a slight upgrade to what Reese is used to. There is at least a slight chance that guys pants were washed relatively recently with detergent.
You saw the world Kyle came from, that bum's pants would probably be considered to be ritzy and super nice in his time. Most people in his future probably would be happy just to have clothes with no holes.
The actor u said looked like Rev Jackson is actually iconic, legendary actor Paul Winfield. “Sounder” (1972), “A Hero Ain’t Nothing But a Sandwich” (1978) and “Original Gangstas” (1996) among many other films🔥(the first two were actually shown in NYC schools in the auditoriums on those rainy school days❤)
Why is the answering machine so big? Lol…..it was the 80s. Everything was big. The bigger the better. 😂
Answering machines back then had two cassette tapes in it. One was your message to who ever called telling them whatever you wanted your message to be, and the other tape recorded the callers message they were leaving for you.
Great movie! The reaction should be great when the Terminator does self surgery/repair on his arm/eye
This whole movie was shot without having any permits to film in any of the locations throughout the film so they shot most of it at night time late nights they set up quickly films what they could then got out of there before police showed up. That's why a lot of it takes place at night time.
That is the way The Terminator Franchise views time travel. Nothing comes through with you other than yourself, including clothes.
I’m from Australia but I still find myself laughing at your Detroit references in every reaction. 😆😆😆
Sara was a great female lead in this movie! I liked her more in this one than the second one. I might be in the minority in that opinion, but I stand by it!
I hope that you had a wonderful Birthday, J, and I am glad that you got to enjoy this movie on your special day. 🎂🎈🎉🎁 It's truly a classic, and we are all looking forward to you seeing T2!
Always fun watching the younger generation catching up on the classics 😁 Always appreciate your videos and congratulations on the birthday
@JL Long before he fell in love with the Titanic and Blue people in Avatar. Cameron did this movie was huge for the Science Fiction/Action genre, did the even "better" (to me) Terminator 2 and the smash sequel Aliens. Was glad to see you watch this early classic and innovating director early work.
40.3 centavos per liter, so roughly one peso and 60 centavos a gallon.
Can't wait to watch you react to T2!
......... how LONG have you been 41...? 😂 😂 😂
The fact that you realized you haven't seen this let alone #2, turns out you're ending up giving US a gift!
Classic FLICK. Happy B-Day! ✌️
Love you man - you keep the world spinning in and out of your luxurious chair!
All the best.
2 of the best action movies ever made, the sequel is the best hands down! James Cameron is not only an amazing director but he's an amazing story teller too. I never get tired of watching this and the second one
James Cameron has made the best two sequels in History, T2 and Aliens.
I think you're the only reaction channel who's watched this movie with the original mono track. Props to you for that.
You have a real gift with these reactions. No one else that I know of has the comedic timing that you do.
Sarah, after going through all that.. and knowing what's coming, and what her potential role is supposed to be.. she spends the next decade getting JACKED and becoming a badass!!!
I highly recommend watching the extended version of Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991) with the definitive ending. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that version and adds context that was originally taken out, anyone that says otherwise is pushing an agenda.
Fun Fact: One afternoon during a break in filming, Arnold Schwarzenegger went into a restaurant in downtown L.A. to get some lunch and realized all too late that he was still in Terminator makeup - with a missing eye, exposed jawbone and burned flesh.
Juice Dodged Fact: O.J. Simpson was considered for the Terminator, but the producers feared he was "too nice" to be taken seriously as a cold-blooded killer. Ironic.
Director Cameo Fact: Near the beginning of the movie, when Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) receives a message on her answering machine breaking her date, the voice on the machine is James Cameron's.
Criminal fact: In the scene where Arnold steals the station wagon, the crew didn't have a permit. So they shot the scene there anyway in a hurry and left.
I second that, the extended version isnt much longer but adds a lot of depth.
Levi Boldock ...James Cameron thought Dark Fate was a good and has become an unhinged lunatic of late, so I question his judgment right now.
@UCggia9DstXaLQo4EF5T9qtg Agreed. There is one new scene with a really cool special effect. The rest of the additions just aren't worth much.
Okay, with one exception relating to Dyson, but i'm not going to say any more and risk spoiling it for our man. That scene with Dyson is one I wish was in the theatrical cut though because that does add a lot of character to him.
Definitely watch T2 extended edition👍
“Ewww man look at your eye!”
Don’t worry you’re gonna get a good look at it.
Terminator 1 and 2 are as different and same in feel as Alien and Aliens imo. One is a type of psycological horror hybrid and the other is an action film that compliments the storyline, builds and delivers.
"Why she going out by herself?"
You gotta remember they didn't have Twitter back in the day. Back then, the 6 o'clock news would end, a war could break out immediately afterwards, and nobody would know until the 11pm news came on after A-Team and Knight Rider were done. Even then, if you went to bed before the 11pm news, you wouldn't know until you saw a newspaper the next morning and were like, "Wait, what???"
I always thought that kid watching the TV fire was hilarious😂😂
My man is wearing a quail man shirt!! I love this guy. Jay, you are the man.
you’re killing me on the black detective, “is that the guy from alien?” 😉
Awesome that you’re watching this with the OG mono audio!
I was just going to make this comment. It's so unfortunate that anyone who's come to this film for the first time in the last twenty years has had that wack remixed audio track to contend with, which I really do think undermines the power of the film greatly---the sound effects editing on the gunshots in the original mono mix just hits so much harder than the later mix.
@ResidentPetrolhead Agreed. The remix greatly undermines the guerilla filmmaking approach the film had. The new sounds IMO call too much attention to themselves while the old sounds allow me to sit and appreciate the film from the perspective of the time.
Scared of a robot with a limp? People in Star Wars are scared of the asthmatic cyborg, Darth Vader
You spotted one Aliens actor. But did you know that there are three aliens connections to this movie? Lance Heinrickson, who played Bishop, is a detective. Michael Biehn, who played Corporal Hicks is Reese. And Bill Paxton, who played Private Hudson, was the guy with the tire tracks tattoo.
...at the end of the movie you realize that she was thinking about Kyle in the picture, the picture that made Kyle fall in love with her and go back to find her (a mind-f*ck, eh?)
Awesome Movie and Work Bro, Thanks 👍👍👍 Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸
I'll be back...to watch this later.
Yes, that police detective is Bishop from Aliens. Did you miss the skinny naked guy with the scars on his back? He played the Colonial Marine Corporal Hicks in Aliens. Opposite Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley.
Hicks played by Michael Biehn is Sgt Kyle Reese assigned to protect Sarah in this movie. And at the beginning of this movie, the punk with the blue spiked hair is actor Bill Paxton. He played Hudson. Also a Colonial Marine in Aliens.
All these actors have Aliens and The Terminator in common. But only 2 have Aliens, Terminator AND Predator in common. And they all play characters that get killed by each. An Alien xenomorph, a Terminator & a Predator.
The actor who plays Bishop also starred in Alien v Predator. Bill Paxton also played a hotshot police detective in Predator 2. Funny how all these actors overlap these 3 big franchise movies. -OG
Happy birthday! You chose a bonafide classic to celebrate. You have great taste! I love the spontaneity of your reactions!
Answering machines back in the day had to hold two cassettes. A special one with the outgoing message and one to hold the messages. Some of them didn't wire in but had to hold the handset too.
