Part 2 is a must.
While anything after T2 is not and I've seen some people trying and failing to make an argument for the third film
@@TaunTaunTundra4477Rise of The Machines is a different time line more linked to TSCC as are the others apart from Dark Fate that is a direct continuation of the 1984, T2 time line...... in all cases SKYNET / LEGEON(maybe an earlier version of SKYNET or created by SKYNET in the past and just laying dormant in a factory computer system) is searching for the best way of killing the human race by going thought different time options....
@@TaunTaunTundra4477the 3rd film isn't a bad movie. It's just a bad Terminator movie. It undermines the premise of the first two movies.
Also, The Sarah Connor Chronicles is very good.
what's Part 2???? do you mean Terminator 2?? because if you consider that to be canon you also have to watch "dark fate" immediately after; that's Jame's Cameron's rule's not mine, he helped write dark fate unlike all the other movies. Dark Fate is the official ending to John Connor's story after the conclusion of T2 - that is by James Cameron's word.
A sequel is not "part two".
"You did good uterus." 🤣😂🤣
That broke me😂
gotta love that 🤣
I came here to say this....
Hysterical!
She has such a charming sense of humor.
Remember, it's Uter-us, not Uter-you. ;) (not my joke, it's from the Simpsons if I remember right)
The evolution of Sarah Conner from term 1 to term 2 is incredible.
You make it sound like she's at school lol.
As are the special effects!
@@CanWeNotKnockIt She did lots of "School" between movies, all practical, with experts in hacking, crime, combat and unconventional warfare training.
@@shainedge6651 I know but I was referring to the OP saying term 1 and term 2
20:35 there's a deleted scene where Reese breaks down a bit and says he wasn't meant to see the pre-apocalypse world and how beautiful everything is
it was also a scene where Sarah looks up Cyberdyne Systems, and tells Kyle to make the pipe bombs to blow up Cyberdyne before it creates the "molecular memory". In another deleted scene, a piece of the terminator is found by workers at the factory which they'll send to Research and Development later, and when the police go the name of the factory turns out to be Cyberdyne Systems, making the Terminator also the "parent" of Skynet, like Kyle is the "parent" of John.
I wish they would’ve kept that scene in! It’s very moving
_Soylent Green_ reference
@@MDBowron Is that the only indication in the movie that the factory was Cyberdyne? I only knew because it was stated in the novelization.
@@marauderdz the second of the two deleted scenes I mentioned earlier is the only reveal that the factory the terminator was crushed in was also cyberdyne systems
"He hasn't shot at anyone, so the police can't shoot at him, right?"
Oh you absolute sweetheart
Merica 😂
😂…😔
Well, he's not black.
sweet summer child
@@Cain353 Yes, keep repeating the lies.
“Give him a Reese’s pieces”😂😂
My favorite part is that Kyle fell in love with a picture of Sarah taken when she was thinking of how much she loved him.
"Sunglasses at Night" was a 1983 hit song by Canadian Music Hall of Famer Corey Hart.
I would argue that The Blues Brothers popularized it before the male Allanah Miles😎😎
Arnold Schwarzenegger has starred in 3 James Cameron movies, and Bill Paxton has appeared in 4, appearing together in 2 of them - The Terminator, and hysterically in True Lies. Paxton also had a very tiny role in the movie Commando starring Arnold, bringing their total count of movies together to 3.
RIP Bill Paxton.
Bill and Michael Biehn Did T1,Navy Seals,Aliens Tombstone,lords of Discipline 5
True lies must watch too
Also, Jeanette Goldstein...
@@thedragonlee76is she Hispanic? Is she Irish? Is she Hispanic again? (Sorry, that was Michelle Rodriguez, an actually Hispanic person, in Resident Evil 😂).
"A movie was $4.50???"
Nah. The average price of a movie ticket in 1984 was $3.36.
As for the self-surgery scene in the hotel room, they did indeed use an animatronic Arnold-head for several of those shots. Good eye (pun intended)!
If you haven't already looked it up, Mothballs are a repellant used to discourage the common clothes moth from flying into your closet/attic/wherever and laying eggs. The larvae eat a variety of animal-based fabrics, like silk, wool, felt, etc. Mothballs also became a slang-term for storing something away for later, or discontinuing it.
One last thing. When Kyle mentions the photograph of Sarah that John had given him, he says that he always wondered what she was thinking in that moment. As we see at the end when the photo is taken, she was actually thinking about him.
Fantastic reaction, as always. Can't wait for you to watch Terminator 2!
We had a dollar theater too. Had a huge arcade. Lots of fun as kids.
I remember seeing this at a Saturday matinee for $2. As a teen at the time my buddy and I went every week. The mid 80s had a lot of incredible movies and we saw all of them with paper route money.
Wow, it's like you don't know what "Average" means.
“Special Engagements were $4.50 at our theater. Paid that opening day for Return of the Jedi (not 1984, but 1983).
I graduated in 84 and made $3.35 an hour and still couldn't afford it, great.
When you said, "There used to be 30 cops," I couldn't stop laughing!!!😂😂😂❤❤❤
24:16 "Is this where sunglasses at night became a trend?"
*Corey Hart has entered the chat*
The song was a hit in the US just a month or so before the movie came out, so probably a combination. Helped too by Miami Vice hitting TV at exactly the same time, making Ray-Bans the must-have accessory for all the Don Johnson wannabes.
I scrolled for THIS comment. Was not disappointed.
🎵🎶 "I wear my sunglasses at night" 🎵🎶
I think the Blues Brothers may have signed off on that, first.
@@paulkondon "It's 106 miles to Chicago, we have a full tank of gas, half a packet of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses."
I had forgotten some of the little details, like the fact that Ahnuld doesn't have eyebrows after he was set on fire by the car exploding next to him. As for your idea of "getting rid of the people who created him"... that's an incredibly good idea. ;)
They should have made a sequel about them doing that. Missed opportunity.
"come with me if you want to live" plays a big part in all the franchise 😊
Father daughter bonding time with the Terminator at age 6 lol....sounds like my household! Parenting done right!
Me and my daughter just high fived. 😉
I see nothing wrong with this. My parents basically let me watch whatever and I was fine. They instilled into me at a young age how to separate movies/shows from reality. Once that was drilled into me, virtually nothing bothered me on the silver screen or on tv.
But when I'd watch documentaries or news stories and something bad would happen it would absolutely bother me. Never got nightmares or anything though.. One movie that I absolutely made a mistake of watching was Arachnophobia.
BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE! 🤣😂
lol ditto on arachnophobia. Also fire in the sky for me lol.
Good stuff. When i was 6 , my father took me to see Jaws in the theater…. What an experience.
@@jamesosteen09 Fire in the sky bothered me when I was younger but grew out of it.
I don't think I can ever grow out of Arachnophobia. *SHUDDERS*
"Sunglasses At Night" And "I Can See Clearly" (almost) now the rain is gone.
Arnold himself has said that they thought they had a good movie, but it was too niche for mainstream. They didn't dream it would hit it big like it did. This film was made on a budget even smaller than what TV movies usually get, even by 1984 dollars.
Also: When Sarah accidently hits the switch on the crusher on the way in, she remembers, that's why she can hit it without really looking at it later.
Great reaction, the first two Terminators are great movies.
I read somewhere that this movie was not meant to be this big, it was planned to be one of the Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction series parts, but i cannot google it out anywhere...
Almost noindependent small budget movie does as great business . I'm also guessing even Jim Cameron was surprised it was as big a hit because I think all he did before was the Piranha sequel .
There's only two. The rest are really bad fan fiction
At one point Arnold returned to the set of Conan (or a sequel, I don’t remember which Conan movie) to reshoot a few scenes, and somebody asked him what he was doing now, when not reshooting Conan scenes. He replied “Oh, I’m doing some shitty little movie…” So yeah, it’s safe to say that he had no idea it was going to be a hit or make him a star.
The first FOUR Terminators are great movies.
I believe that Arnold's breakout role was "Hercules in New York" (1970), though I'm pretty sure what got him this job was his role in "Conan the Barbarian" (1982), two years before this. Conan showed that he actually could act ... at least a little. lol
Conan was his breakout role, but Terminator made him a legend. In the movie business, there are those one roles/movies after which you can do complete garbage and it wont matter. It didn't hurt that he did even more legendary things like T2, Predator, etc.
Wouldn't exactly call Hercules his breakout role. Conan, yes.
Hercules in New York was Arnold's first theatrical acting role in a traditional narrative movie... it was NOT his "breakout" role.. breakout role usually signifies the role that made an actor into a big name recognized by most people or even a star... Hercules in New York was a comically bad low-budget film that nobody saw in which Arnold's accent was deemed to be so indecipherable that all of his lines were dubbed. He had an uncredited cameo in The Long Goodbye after that.. and small roles in a few other movies... but the first time he had a major role that made him recognizable as a movie star was as Conan the Barbarian. Terminator definitely solidified him as a star, though.
However, it's arguable that Arnold's breakout role actually came 3 years before he started making Hollywood movies, when he appeared prominently in the documentary Pumping Iron - about he and others training for the Mr. Olympia competition.
I also remember seeing him young in Streets of San Francisco. He was playing a deranged bodybuilder killing women he believed they were mocking him.
@@belgarion4513 Yep.
When Kyle Reese first appeared in the alley in 1984, his stunt double had to fall about 7 or 8 feet from an elevated platform while on his side falling right onto the concrete cement. Actor Michael Biehn (Reese) was astounded at the bravery of his stunt double.
“Thank you uterus!”
😂 Love her quips!
The sequel is one of the best movies ever made. So excited if you react to that one!
Real good, just not as good as this one!
And this one too.
"How is he supposed to call her if they don't have cell phones?" LOL OML.
God im old....
@@2LucasKane3She should have titled this that instead. Was saying that the whole time 😂
We have 30 cops in this building, two minutes later, 29,28,27....0
"Mary" of "Movies With Mary" began a sort of nursery rhyme, counting down the 30 cops like "100 Bottles of Beer on the Wall.";)
While he wasn't at the station, probably due to being in the hospital with a concussion, a fun fact for you.
In Terminator 2, the guy with the camera who was in shock at Arnold being thrown through the window is the cop he stole the car from in Terminator 1.
It's why the cops figured out everything so quickly back in the 90s. Further why that one character looked so shocked. He thought he was looking at the man that killed 30 of his friends nearly a decade before.
According to Terminator 2, seventeen cops were killled. Thirteen survived.
@@jonathanryan9946 According to Terminator 2, seventeen cops were killled. Thirteen survived.
@@williambryan3346 Technically that's as assumption, we don't know for certainly that 30 cops were in the building at that exact moment. Only that at one point in time early that night it was implied that there was 30 cops.
My assumption is a lot of cops were out on patrol still looking for the guy who Kyle fought in the club and who shot up the place. 30 cops was probably an average, but that night was super eventful and there was still a mass shooter at large.
31:08 "Now that you've had the sex... you can die" 😂😂😂 ICE COLD!
Sounds like something a Praying mantis would say to her partner 😉
I was looking for this comment 😂😂😂
@@Xethuron Or a Black Widow spider
Ya, that is pretty harsh. I thought she was my ex-wife for a minute there.
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....
"You did good uterus" 😂 that should be your code phrase
Can we get some thumbs for the legendary Stan Winston? A true master of special effects who worked on this movie, Aliens, Jurassic Park, Predator and so many more iconic films.
"I don't wanna look at it, but I'm doing it for you!"
I'm pretty sure that's how the Me Too movement got started lmao
Ohhh, you picked a good one for today! That being said, this film is good... but Terminator 2: Judgement Day? That film is *legendary.*
I can't wait for you to see that one, so I guess you could say... I'll be back.
The Original is the better movie
@@warlockEd73 I can see why you might think that. There's something to appreciate about the gritty noir-ness of it compared to the sequel. Also, they accomplished so much with the first film despite having nearly no budget.
I personally still prefer T2, but you do you.
To me the Original is the masterpiece! second one has better action though
T2 is by far the better film, it's actually so good it makes this film better.
@jkhoover No, it doesn't. It actually diminishes it with pandering humor and anti-male politics. If you're not smart enough to pick up on that, or think it's laudable in some way, that's your problem.
Sarah's roommate Ginger was played by Bess Motto of the 20 Min Workout.
Wow, an OG Areobicise girl, mind = blown
@@adamscott7354 🤯
Bess Motta, but yeah.
I love the "Dark Side" of Jax because she seems so innocent that it comes out of left field and always cracks me up.
"good job uterus" is gonna make me laugh all. dang. day lol
Too young for Terminator at 5? My babysitter brought me with her and her friends to watch JAWS when I was 3... lol
It was just a rougish time in the seventies. Lol. My mom took my sister and I to the drive in to see Phantasm when I was five or 6. There was also an x rated movie playing on the other screen which we could see from the back of the van.
@@ADayinMyLife "Rougish"??? 🤔 Rough-ish? Roguish?
@@bigdream_dreambig yea I don't know lol. It was the wild west out there.
@@bigdream_dreambig Please go away. Forever.
@@paulmartin2348 Pfft. I was honestly asking the intended thought behind a word that, as written, has no clear meaning -- and, by their response, my comment clearly didn't bother the writer. Perhaps it's _you_ who should vanish from any forum that uses the written word.
Terminator 2 is a must watch! My local theatre re-released in it on the big screen back in April. And it was absolutely incredible.
"I guess since you've already had sex, he can die."
I snorted at that with coffee in my mouth. 😂
“Reese’s pieces?”
Me sitting here with fingers crossed hoping she says Sarah “getting her some Reese’s Pieces.”
Some fun facts:
Bill Paxton is the only actor to be killed on-screen by a Terminator, a Predator and a Xenomorph
Arnold doesn't have a "movie-specific" workout regime, but a whole-of-life one
The line James Cameron wrote was "I'll be back" but Arnold said it didn't make sense for his Austrian heritage or accent. He asked for it to be changed to "I'll come back". Cameron refused, and the rest is iconic history
that's the legend, but actually you don't see him being killed by the Terminator... Brian Thompson is the only one clearly killed there.
Just makes that "murder" scene in True lies even more funny 😄
Lance Henriksen falls into that category as well.
@@TheVlad1616 and they were both vampires in Near Dark.
I was thinking the same thing!
It's like watching an older version of Addie Counts
I want then to meet now 😅
They are both part of my Mt. Rushmore of Reactors: Addie, Jax, Vkunia and Popcorn In Bed (Cassie & Carly) 🙂
Jax: "Invent a code word." Me: What's the code word? Person from the future: *Says the code word* Me: Sorry, that was the OLD code word.
5:28 I am sure you worked out later that Kyle was told all about payphones and phone books by John Connor - who probably didn't know where Sarah was living then as he had not been born. The Terminator also could have been programmed with info abut 1984 - not entirely accurately, of course, as he asked for a plasma rifle
Reese's finger trailed to the third Sarah Connor in the phonebook. I guess he was just verifying.
The Terminator goes down the list, Reece knew his mother's middle name, which begins with J. He went to the third Sarah Conner.
By the way, both flash-forwards during the movie ( seen as dreams ) contain Reece dying in a car crash fighting the Hunter-Killers,
and then when a Terminator infiltrates the place he's hiding: the picture burns as he's reaching for it; the terminator shoots, he never gets hold of it again.
They are alternative futures, where he doesn't go back in time.
John Connor is not seen or mentioned in them.
@@stevetheduck1425 Reece did not die in the car crash, that was where he got all the scars on his back methinks.
@@stevetheduck1425he doesn’t have to be. The only reason the resistance exists at all is John Connor. Without him, all possible futures are just, humans living in death camps, being fed enough to keep them alive long enough to feed corpses into crematoriums, before the loaders become the next corpses in their turn.
There are no battles, there are no children hiding and dogs vetting newcomers. There is only extinction.
The two scenes are of Kyle Reese _almost_ burning to death but managing to climb free in time, and of Kyle Reese losing the picture of Sarah when the Terminators manage to infiltrate his redoubt. They are flashbacks, not flash forwards.
Lance Hendrickson (who played the skinny white cop) was originally going to be the Terminator and Arnold was slated to play Kyle... But that was scrapped quickly. Pretty cool.
Arnold is such a great Terminator!
@@reactswithjax Can you please react to kung fu panda 4
But Lance H. got to be a cyborg in another movie.
@@tomgeorge7281 he wasn't a cyborg in Aliens. He was an android. And hate to say it. But The Terminator wasn't a cyborg either. Just a robot in a meat suit.
Thanks for straightening out the terminology.
Girl, when I was growing up movies at the cheaper theater were 1$ each. And they had zero commercials or previews.
Mothballs: Tiny little glands that male moths need to reproduce.
haha, she will believe it. she pondered bench seats
Exactly.
"Have you ever smelled moth balls?"
"Yes."
"How did you fit your nose between their tiny little legs?"
Lmao
Or the dances moths meet at.
"Come with me if you want to live" remember that. Pass code activated.
The best pick-up line, ever!
@@robertstallings6020 It worked in American Pie.
@@lokithecat7225the sherminator 😂
The chase scene in the factory, they are not really faster than the Terminator, it's heel is damaged, you can see it dragging one foot (limping). If fully functional, the Terminator can outrun a human.
I love Paul Winfield. He was the black detective trying to save Sarah. In the late 90s he was the narrator of a police show on A&E called City Confidential. He made that show awesome. They would profile a city where a murder had taken place. It was just a neat concept and his great voice made it even better.
Rhys: "I always wondered what you were thinking about."
Him. She was thinking about him. It comes full circle. Beautiful detail.
FYI, the actor that got his throat ripped out in the beginning is the main villain in Cobra w Sylvester Stallone. Lots of iconic lines in that one.
Wasn't his throat, looked like his liver.
I believe he also plays an Alien in X-Files.
Buffalo Bob in Joe Dirt
@@Scyth0r He basically got a chance to play a Terminator on that show.
It was his heart.
"WHY is James Cameron trying to give me nightmares?!"
Best comment EVER to the second rising of the Terminator-skeleton. 😀
This movie was based on Cameron himself having a nightmare (which iirc became the first rising of the skeleton).
Also lol "give him a Reeses Pieces, maybe it'll bring him back"
@@emurphy42 Well, that nightmare and a Harlan Ellison story he liberally robbed from.
Ellison sued, got some money and a writer's credit iirc.
Also, Cameron had watched all the slasher films of the time, but thought the motivation for a never ending chase by the slasher were weak, so he invented a slasher who literally would never stop-a robot.
With this movie, James Cameron invented a new type of film genre, Tech Noir, which he also used for the name of the dance club. He also proved that he could effectively write and direct a horror movie.
"So many trash, wie need wally" ......😂😂'
3:29 Well, if I'm an officer and saw someone behind a dumpster pulling up his pants, best case scenario I'm gonna assume he took a dump in public and worst case scenario he SA-ed someone there. so definitely gonna investigate.
I'll be Back. Best iconic line.
There is another more iconic line in the history of cinema. An older man cuts off a younger man's hand and tells him who he is to him. Do you know the movie?😋
@@balrog7252 No. What is it 🤔?
@@balrog7252 The only film that comes to immediately to mind is "World War Z" where Brad Pitt cuts off a female soldier's hand to prevent the spread of Zombie infection. But no iconic line is given. And in the Fallout TV series a very memorable line is given after a woman bites off the finger of her captor and the captor in turn cuts her own finger off. But I won't spoil the line. I'm guessing that the movie you have in mind is a Mobster movie.

We had to wait 7 years for Terminator 2, but was worth the wait.
A fantastic sequel.
Definitely watch it.
Originally, when the paramedics were carting Sarah away, the camera panned up to reveal who owned that factory: Cyberdyne Systems. Causality loop, predestination paradox; the terminator ends up creating itself, and the war to come. The paradox was supposed to be a closed loop, but the film proved popular enough for a sequel...
T2 and the Sarah Connor Chronicles series are the only other Terminator-related media I can recommend. The rest are crappy crashbags, and unfortunately, Arnie is usually in them.
Fun Facts...
Cyberdyne is a robotics company in Japan...
Skynet is a Satellite defence system by the UK...
Well, maybe not so fun facts
@@ivantot506 Yeah, we're all dead
What year was this skynet founded? Who in their right mind would name their company skynet?
I literally pass by an ad on the highway every day in my country for Cyberdyne System’s “Model 101” and it’s a robotic limb replacement company and model
@@user-gg8vt7mm2u The first UK Skynet satellite was launched in 1969.
12:00 "A movie was $4.50?"
No.
I paid $5.00 to see this in the theater in 1984. I was 17 and this was the first R-rated movie I ever saw in theaters because i finally had an ID that would let me get in.
"Wait, this is a movie theater."
Maybe. Once. In the past.
Now it's a dance club.
Nobody did THIS is any movie theater that was actually in the business of showing movies.
RIP Bill Paxton, Chino Williams, Dick Miller, Earl Boen, Norman Friedman, and Paul Winfield.
Someone once pointed out that the love scene in the Terminator was essential to the plot of the movie.
You remember a hand. Most people remember a couple other things. 😏🤭
It’s funny you mentioned Day of Future Past because when this movie came out all of us comics fans noticed immediately the similarities and we all knew (or felt) that James Cameron had stolen the story from Marvel. Whether that was actually the case, who knows for sure, but it’s very likely. The DOFP storyline (1981) was released 3 years before The Terminator (1984).
Not quite.
In the credits for The Terminator, there's a credit acknowledging the works of writer Harlan Ellison. Ellison wrote a script for a 1964 episode of "The Outer Limits" called 'Demon with a Glass Hand' which features Robert Culp as an amnesiac who finds he has been sent back in time to prevent the extinction of humanity 1000 years in the future. There are a couple of twists to the story, and I don't wish to spoil it.
Anyway, after the release of this film, Harlan Ellison ended up getting a settlement from Cameron and the producers, and many people thought that The Terminator had been plagiarized from this Outer Limits episode. Years ago, Ellison clarified the matter. The Terminator was, as Ellison put it: "Terminator was not stolen from 'Demon with a Glass Hand', it was a ripoff of my OTHER Outer Limits script, 'Soldier'." which was an adaptation of his 1957 short-story, "Soldier from Tomorrow."
To quote WIKIPEDIA:
" Ellison brought suit against The Terminator production company Hemdale and distributor Orion Pictures for plagiarism of this episode, since both works involve a soldier from the future who goes back in time and saves the life of a present-day woman from an enemy soldier from the future. According to the Los Angeles Times, the parties settled the lawsuit for an undisclosed amount, and an acknowledgement of Ellison's works in the credits of The Terminator. The credits were added only to the home video releases of Terminator and read simply, "Acknowledgment to the Works of Harlan Ellison".
James Cameron denied Ellison's allegations and was opposed to the settlement. He has rarely spoken about the issue, but commented on the addition of acknowledgement credits at the 1991 T2 Convention saying, "For legal reasons I'm not supposed to comment on that, but it was a real bum deal, I had nothing to do with it and I disagree with it." "
So, the real question is, where did "Days of Future Past" come from? Well, I'm going to quote Wikipedia again:
" John Byrne devised the plot for "Days of Future Past", since he wanted to do a story featuring the Sentinels and his collaborator Chris Claremont had no interest in coming up with one. Years later, Byrne said, he realized that he had unconsciously lifted the "spine" of the plot from the 1972 Doctor Who serial Day of the Daleks. "
Once again, the old maxim "there is nothing new under the sun" comes to mind.
If nothing else, John Byrne did a lot of inadvertently-free design work in visualizing the future world.
Byrne later admitted he was inspired by "Day of the Daleks" from 1967, Let's face it, it's an idea whose time had come.
@@wratched That definitely makes sense now that you mention it, and I remind myself of the episode. Almost all things come from somewhere is, I suppose, the real lesson 😆
@@corvus1970 In my opinion, Cameron didn't plagiarize Ellison, but their ideas were similar enough that Ellison's team was able to force a settlement which is why Cameron's salty about it.
RIP Bill Paxton. I believe is still the only actor to have a character of his be killed by a Terminator, a Predator in Predator 2 and an alien Xenomorph in Aliens the sequel to Alien. Absolute legend.
The cops were investigating an electrical disturbance, then saw some naked man stealing a homeless guy’s pants-The man ran then overpowered a cop.
That seems self-explanatory enough for me.
Bill Paxton is the only actor who has been killed by a Terminator, Xenomorph and Predator.
No he isn't.
⚠️ What is so sad is that when Kyle was talking about the picture of Sarah, he mentions how sad she looked and always wondered what she was thinking about. Sarah was thinking about him.
@23:46 “It’s gonna be Mr. Reese’s Pieces.” 🤣
6:04 the actor playing the gun shop owner also appears in both 'Gremlins' films as Mr. Futterman the snow-plow driver.
17:03 'very hard to spot' not if they all look like former Mr. Olympians
28:53 A mothball is a little round thing used to keep moths from laying their eggs in clothes being stored away, so their larvae don't eat the fabric. They contain some chemicals that are not otherwise commonly available
29:25 You mean 'Admission', he admitted that he loved her, as you say 'omission' is leaving something out,
37:05 That is probably the iconic scary hand that you remember.
The sequel was some years later. Along with 'Aliens' it is that rare thing when the sequel is not only good as a sequel (which is rare enough in itself) but is good enough as a movie it could stand on its own. I saw T2 a while before I saw this one. I would avoid the later sequels, personally.
Hello Jax, great to see you!😊 Yeah, it is pretty much a first watch if you were just six years old.😉This was really James Cameron's big break. After this low budget film he was able to get big bucks from the studios for the blockbuster "Terminator 2: Judgement Day" (1991). Coincidentally, the song "Sunglasses at Night" came out the same year as this film, 1984.😉 Mothballs are white and the size of a ping pong balls. They are made with pesticides and deodorant. People used them to repel moths when storing clothing. They had no idea this was going to be a HUGE hit. There are six Terminator films, Jax. Great reactions to your first Terminator film as an adult!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏
when you watch Terminator 2 (one of the greatest sequels ever made) make sure its the extended directors cut cause they fix alot of the movie mistakes that the original had like obvious stunt doubles, inconsistent shots etc. and in my opinion is a better version cause it fills in some of the gaps
I didn't like Terminator 2.
I feel like the directors cut ending is so much worse than the original
@@psionoblast5379 i prefer that than the shitty current timeline of Dark Fate
I disagree, I think the theatrical version is better, it cuts off all the fat..
Strongly disagree. Please watch the theatrical cut.
36:02 fun fact: James Cameron said in an interview that the idea of the Terminator came from one of HIS nightmares about being chased through a factory by a unstoppable killer.
"Kyle, noooo. Give him a Reese's Pieces, maybe it'll bring him back." absolutely slayed me 😆
Bill Paxton has the distinction of being the only actor who has been killed by a terminator, an alien and a predator.
There's at least 20 people that beat you to this comment. Also, it's wrong.
And a cowboy
@jkhoover how is it wrong?
FUN FACT. The production company that released THE TERMINATOR after release went bankrupt. The production company that released Terminator 2 after release went bankrupt. Production company that released Terminator 3 after release went bankrupt. The production company that released Terminator 4 after release went bankrupt. Production company that released Terminator 5 after release almost went bankrupt if not for a massive bailout from the owners father. Production company that released Terminator 6 after release went bankrupt. Producing a Terminator movie is the kiss of death.
36:50 I've been in industrial facilities that used to use that type of controllers and if she could see the labels on the buttons when she was crawling out, they're easy to interpret. Like a green button labeled "Press down", an orange button labeled "Press up", a red button labeled "Emergency stop", etc. So when she came out she probably knew what color button she wanted to push.
Ooh! That's great insight. Thank you!! ❤️
Mothballs; before synthetic fibers were more commonly used in clothes, most clothing was made with cotton. Some moth species would lay eggs in clothes stored for long periods of time. The large would eat the cotton fibers, destroying the clothes. Mothballs were a solid chemical about the size of a mini-muffin or child's marble, that would slowly turn into a vapor over time that would kill the moths. Part of the chemical in some mothballs could be refined and used in making explosives
The only thing I do not like about this channel, is that we only get one upload a week
Actor is Bill Paxton
Besides the fact that I'm sure she has a life outside of TH-cam she also edits her own videos which is very time consuming. Most reactors hire outside editors. I'm with you though. I look forward to every Friday because of her!
There is such a great little detail that shows the machine nature of the terminator when it turns to the answering machine in sarah's apartment; the dot from the laser sight has *zero* sway/wobble. Any person holding a weight at arms length like that would have a little bit of tremor, but the dot behaves like its on a tripod
The number of times you kept noticing the character's clothing in the film,watching "The Devil Wears Prada" with you must be a freakin' nightmare lol...
She's a girl...
I love Fridays! I hit the gym and then spend some time with Jax while eating breakfast. What a way to start the day!
I watch several reactors, a lot of them will ask questions about things from the 80s that I answer. But that question about the mothballs made me feel like I was 100 years old. My grandmother used to buy mothballs to put in the upstairs closets where she stored her clothes so moths don't eat them.
Before air conditioning became commonplace, people would open their windows and doors at night to get a breeze through. And insects used to come in. I was a kid in the 1980s and my grandmother still used mothballs even though she had Central heating and Air.
Ok you just mention about the terminators having bad breath and who will get close enough to smell their breath, got to remember when Resse was explaining to Sarah why the terminator is after her and Resse mentioned that some humans were kept alive to do work.
@16:00 Kyle: “Do you understand?!”
Jax: “I’m nodding.” 🤣
Arnold wanted to play Kyle Reese, but James Cameron thought he will be better suited for the role of the Terminator.
And Lance Henriksen (sp) was going to be the Terminator! At least he got to play the cop!
I grew up with a code word in case mom was in an accident and had to send someone to pick us up.
If they had it, I could go to their house or mine to wait for more info; if they didn't they had to be police and could only take me to the hospital or station.
Moth balls - something people don't use anymore because clothes are now made of plastic fibers and not pure cotton
28:57 A mothball is a small pellet of a pungent substance, typically naphthalene, put among stored clothes to keep away moths.
Your dad wanted his baby girl to see that even a sweet, beautiful girl can defend herself against a monstrous terminator.
@0:46 This was one of Arnold’s first big movies, but it wasn’t his breakout role. That was in Conan the Barbarian (1982).
Not knowing mothballs, bench seats in trucks, and so many other things... You are a child and I am so old 😭😂
A lot of people mention that 2029 is only a few years away. But they don’t take into account the amount of time between the events of this movie and the post-apocalyptic future. Here, the difference is forty-five years, and the difference between when the nuclear war happened and the future was thirty-two years.
Only took me 20 years to realise that whole time Kyle always wondered what Sarah was thinking about when that photo was taken.
I was 9 or 10 when this came to cable in 85, and my father also insisted we see it, including my younger brother and I think sister too, who would have been 5... maybe she didn't watch it just yet? I didn't have nightmares from a movie until seeing Aliens a couple years later. I loved this one from start to finish.
I'm surprised you don't know what mothballs are. I thought they were ubiquitous.
The Endo Skeleton (as it's called) seen at the end is geneius design - the eyes are infra red not just to look evil, but for night vision, you can see how it is powered to, by hydrollic cylinders in the limbs, arms & legs, moving up & down
for some reason mirror chrome works as well despite something like this would probably look more like Steel if it existed, with far less sparkle
4:40 "The Police cant actually shoot at him, right?" Oh you beautiful innocent woman.
"being afraid of a hand" oh man I knew instantly what scene she was talking about lol.
Stan Winston did the Terminator effects.
26:12 They have Wall-E to clean up. It just happens to be equipped with high intensity combat lasers.
I grew up with the VHS of this watched it all the time, and I was born in 86’.
One of my all time favorite films.❤️
The Theatrical Version of T2 is just fine, can’t wait for that reaction!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was such a classic Jax. Glad you got to see it as an adult. Quite traumatic to see it as a child, when I was kid in the 80's I watched a movie that had Cliff De Young (the father from Flight Of The Navigator) called Pulse (1988) that one scared me gave me a few nightmares, so I understand completely how movies can terrify you as a kid. I suggest Pulse, Flight Of The Navigator, Honey, I Shrunk The Kids, Condorman, Shipwrecked, and the 7th Voyage Of Sinbad for Patreon.
That slow mo Terminator was a nightmare as a kid. :)
