Reese told Sarah he always wondered what she was thinking about in that picture. In the end she was thinking about him.
I still say Cameron copped that from "Somewhere in Time", which was released just a couple of years before he started working on Terminator. The motif is just too specific for it to be a coincidence, especially given that it hadn't been used in a movie before.
As others are telling you, Terminator 2 Judgement Day is a must watch sequel.
Absolutely
Yes I agree 👍💯
Best in the series
@@EndTimeDreams absolutely
@Dun Ringill
Goddamn right.
"I didn't expect that he will be the bad guy."
The writer did originally put Arnold in the role of the good guy, but when Arnold read the script, he begged to be moved to the role of the terminator instead. And it was a great decision for him, as it was really the start his acting career.
Nonsense. Arnold’s first acting job was 14 years before this movie, and this was his third starring role in a Hollywood feature film.
Not true. He won a Golden Globe in 1976 for the movie "Stay Hungry" He was already well known in the early 70's
And what about "Conan"?
@@tubekulose Precisely. The box office for Conan the Barbarian in the US and Canada was almost exactly the same as for the first Terminator film, and that first Conan film was two years earlier. Neither of those films was all that big or important, and it is only in hindsight after the huge Terminator 2 that the first Terminator is particularly significant. In any event, Arnold had been pursuing acting for quite a while without huge box office success by the time he got the Terminator role.
Arnold would have made a horrible Reese, IMO. The guy they ended up going with was perfect for the part.
T2 is wonderful. Thank you for checking this out and reacting. You ladies are great.
Fun fact: Arnold Schwarzenegger originally auditioned for the role of Reese, but when director James Cameron met him, James, who is blessed with a vision of cinematic perfection, chose him to be The Terminator because he saw Arnold as an unstoppable force just like what The Terminator should be.
Oh I didn't know that thanks 👍👍👍
Unstoppable, you mean instead of a simp stepdad? To be fair he killed bugs so he was an...Ex-Terminator.
Fun Fact 2: O.J. Simpson was originally also considered to play the role of the terminator due to his physical appearance. But after comedys like the Naked Canon James Cameron didnt think that the audience would buy that "such a nice guy" could play a killer.
The “Fun fact” thing is pretty tired..
Keep the fun facts coming
True Story: James Cameron who wrote and directed this masterpiece only did one other movie before this called Piranha 2, and one night while he was filming it he got really sick had a fever dream. And in that dream (or rather nightmare) he saw a chrome covered skeleton crawling out of flames slowly walking towards him to kill him. When his fever broke he immediately wrote down the idea and from that idea came The Terminator.
In 2008, The Terminator was selected by the United States Library of Congress for preservation in the National Film Registry as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
The irony is James Cameron ripped off himself. Terminator was a rip off of his own work from 1964 called soldier that he ripped off from someone else's work from 1957 called soldier from tomorrow
LOL, that's what he says NOW. But the year it came out, Cameron did an interview where he described being sick in bed and _watching old Outer Limits episodes._ BIG mistake. When Harlan Ellison heard that, he called his shark lawyer and they went to town. Never, ever, EVER admit to copping someone else's ideas.😂
Well if I ever write a movie from a fever dream of mine, it would end up in the Library of Congress for preservation of utterly insane and idiotic insignificant works
@Tchaka Udaku Funny, that's not what he said when it first came out. Among other things, Cameron is the King of Retcons.
I didn't know about the fever
Lot of people in the comments already saying this was Arnold's breakout acting role, as if a movie from 2 years before called Conan the Barbarian wasn't Arnold's first big role
It's more accurately director James Cameron's breakout movie. He based the script on a vision he had of a man rising out of a bonfire. The budget wasn't that big because he was a rookie director, but this movie's profitability gave studios a reason to give James Cameron larger budgets for his next movies The Abyss and Terminator 2
Arnold himself considers this his breakout role because, as he put it, he didn't have to run around with nothing on (other than that intro, of course). That made it a serious performance for him, the first one where his muscles weren't what was selling the character.
Also Aliens.
Viki: "Man he (Terminator) looks terrifying"
Me: "Ahhh we haven't gotten to the nightmarish chrome combat chassis frame,
with the glowing red eyes. That is relentlessly hunting you to the death.
Yeah no Biggie"
You noticed in terminator salvation the terminators alot of them are rugged and dirty looking from being in combat of all the smoke and dirt derbrie etc wareing worn out torn clothing there not all polished up like they got off the assembly line but those red eyes still glow.
Homies!! Like everybody says, definitely watch Terminator 2 Judgement Day. It's the best out of all of them. After that you don't even need to watch any others.
Yes, after T2 it stops! Dont spoil it wafter that
@Brian Johnson Yeah I agree, 3 has its moments.
I loved the 4th one, Salvation. And the beginning of Genysis
@Brian Johnson lol, nice apophasis buddy
I didn’t get around to seeing T3, and eventually decided to just pretend T2 was the last one.
The guy with blue hair at 1:50 is played by Bill Paxton - the only human who was killed by Terminator, Alien and Predator.
I love the reactions of these two gals.
Their facial expressions are indelible and I love the way she repeats the line, "I'll be back".
TERMINATOR 2 IS BEST🤩
4:05 "you can buy a gun just like that?" Legally, in some states, yes you can. Just a quick back ground check and 10 minutes later you are good to go. x)
Instead of 'slow motion', I think the phrase you're looking for is 'stop motion', where they move a miniature or model slightly, take a single frame shot, move it some more, photo that one, move it some more, etc., rinse and repeat. It does produce that cheesy jerking effect, which kinda killed the reality in these shots. But hey, it was 1984, pre-CGI days.
Too bad James didn't get the animator who did the stop-motion for the dragon in the 1981 movie Dragon Slayer. In my opinion, it the had the most "fluid" and "realistic" stop motion animation at the time. Even when I first saw it as a kid, I was so blown away that I thought it was real. lol.
@@cs-zz7jd Phil Tippet did Dragonslayer, he is a legend in the industry. He worked on the Star Wars films and designed animation processes for Jurassic Park. However, Stan Winston and his crew were responsible for the effects in The Terminator. You know Stan Winston of The Predator, Aliens, and again Jurassic Park? No slouch either. The Terminator had almost ZERO budget so it's actually pretty amazing what they were able to pull off.
It’s still very easy to buy a gun in most parts of the US, but it was even easier in 1984 when this film was released. And of course, it’s pretty easy to find a gun to steal as well.
Terminator 2: Judgement Day is arguably an even better film. Highly recommended.
In California at the time, though, there would be a 10-day waiting period, and the Uzi would have to wait for a Tax Stamp (at least 90 days back then). Only the shotgun could go home with him, after a background check.
@@Stevarooni Ah, good catch. I always kind of assumed it was more of a free-for-all until the Brady Bill passed in ‘93, but California and New York both have had fairly restrictive state laws on the books since the early 1900’s.
@@Stevarooni Wrong. *boom*
Glad you two had the opportunity to see this 80s sci-fi/horror masterpiece!
Excellent pick ladies I absolutely loved the iconic action movie, The Terminator 💀🔥 everything about it’s loved 80s retro the action, the look & feel to it but of course Terminator 2 Judgements Day is arguably one of the greatest action movie of all time. T-800 is pure bad ass. Absolutely nostalgia
In 84, that Skynet, automated factories and autonomous robots with AI was a futuristic concept. Today, the stuff Reese tells Sarah is believable and not weird or sci-fi at all.
So glad you’re here to tell us these things.
U 2 should watch the sequel as well.
Yes
If The Terminator is a masterpiece then T2 is THE Masterpiece.
Great reaction, and great spotting the twist of Kyle being the father!
I'll join in with saying T2 is a must watch
It's always fun when someone watches a movie for the first time and then realizes the origin of a famous phrase, such as "I'll be back."
1. Michael Biehn/Reese also played Hicks in Aliens.
2. IRL the Terminator would not have been able to shoot the gun dealer. The ammunition is given separately from weapons.
He certainly wouldn't have given him access to the shells right at the counter.
3. The late Bill Paxton is the only actor to have his characters die in all three of the Terminator, Alien and Predator series. (He plays Hudson in Aliens).
4. Ginger's boyfriend must not be a good lay if she has to listen to her headphones.
5. Lance Henriksen is the third guy to play in Aliens (he plays Bishop)
6. Viki, "He's so big"! That's what she said.🤣
Predator is another must watch. Also the Conan series and Red Sonja. Hello from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Yes I agree 👍💯
I never seen Red Sonja but heard it's terrible. Even Arnold himself regrets till this day being in it and made his kids watch it whenever they were being punished when they were young. So I read.
I just remembered a very good movie and one that I'm sure you will like, it's called Alita Battle Angel
When Arnold made Terminator he wasn't a big star yet which is why he played the bad guy. This is the movie that made his career
And what about "Conan"?
@@tubekulose Conan is a great cult movie but it was Terminator that got him noticed, to this movie was pretty low budget at the time. Terminator was made for less than 7 million but grossed almost 80 million.
O
@@paulobrien9572 nah, Conan got him noticed. Terminator started his career
OJ Simpson was also considered to play the Terminator, but James Cameron changed his mind, saying "He's too much of a nice guy to play the role of a ruthless killer." 😳🤦
A much different reaction than Ellie, who was screaming and cursing at the screen! 😂
Great reaction Viki and Lia!! If I were you I would watch the extended version of Terminator 2: Judgment Day and then Terminator 2:3D Ride and end it there!! The rest is just not worth it!!
"He doesn't feel pain anyways"
If I remember correctly, in Terminator 2 (might be the extended edition) it's said they can feel pain, it's used to help with infiltration. However, they don't have any emotional connection with pain like humans.
They just register the damage as data, it's not actual pain.
"I sense injuries. The data could be called pain." That's the ultimate badass statement in my opinion.
Caught up to now watch, arguably, best sequel ever made
Aliens? Joke,but not really :)
The Homies has always been one of my favourite reactions channels, the two of you are a great addition to a great team. Look forward to seeing more of you. Wish you all the best for the future. XX
You can't buy most of those guns over the counter anymore in the US, but buying a gun is generally as easy as walking into the store and passing a background check.
Also. In the picture. The one the kid took in the end. Was the same pic Kyle was given by John.
And when her picture was taken she was thinking of Kyle.
And Kyle always wondered what she was thinking about in that moment.
Beautifully tragic.
Especially because he says a storm is coming.
And she is driving right into the storm.
When you watch Terminator 2, make sure to watch the theatrical version! In that way you get to experience it the way the world experienced it when it first released! It's the best one out there!
Isn't it ironic that Kyle told Sarah he used to wonder what she was thinking about in that picture? She was thinking about him.
22:41 I never knew there was a version of the movie that had subtitles for the future war radio dialogue. I was only able to understand bits and pieces, but never the full messages.
What no one ever realizes is that the arm / hand the Terminator reaches for Sarah with is in fact the same arm he was trying to fix before. It was already malfunctioning. Thats why he couldnt kill her right away
Terminator hits brick wall head on at 85 mph. “Oopsie.” I love it :)
21:07 You guessed well, John Connor sent his own father in the past.
I don't think anyone else has said this yet... but you MUST watch Terminator 2. 🤣
It is a staple and iconic in cinema history and many movies in the genre owe to T2.
8:48 Answering machine.: "Hi there, you are talking to a machine"
Terminator: "Mommy?"
You need to watch part 2. The greatest sequel of all time. After that if you go further in the series go straight to Dark Fate it's what part 3 was supposed to be
In America, back in those days .. yes, you could literally buy whatever you wanted from a store like that (yes, even in Los Angeles). You could even order from a catalog and they'd ship directly to your home.
The Terminator is possibly the greatest "B-movie" ever made. By that i mean, it is the greatest low-budget sci-fi ever produced. The Terminator is a great inspiration for future filmmakers. Cameron showed us what can be possible on a small budget and its freaking amazing.
T2 on the other hand is the greatest action movie ever made. Cameron showed us whats possible once youve established yourself in the industry. And its freaking phenomenal.
I just wish we could get a new 5.1 remix for The Terminator. The .45 longslide should sound like a freaking cannon. The audience should be just as shocked and stunned by that weapon as the 35 year old Sarah Connors neighbors after the Terminator blew her head off. Theres an interesting deleted scene revealing the aftermath where Sarah Connors neighbors are running around in complete panic mode. But the newest 5.1 remix makes all of these bad**s weapons sound like squeaky toys, including the shotguns. You cant feel anything from a sound effect like that.
great review/reaction. terminator 2 and terminator 3 are much better than terminator 1. please review T2 and T 3 soon!. THANKS!.
No offense but terminator 3 falls in the same category of terminator genesis. That category is being the worst movies of the franchise. Terminator 1 is the alpha film of this series.
Terminator 3? Pahahaha. Terminator 3 is terrible. 1 and 2 and avoid the rest.
@@silentdarktruth9506 at least T3 wasn't some goofy kid movie like T2 was. T3 and Rise of the Machines, as well as Salvation, at least tried to carry on the progression through time, so you actually got to see John Connor not being a whiny little brat. The only other issues I have with the sequels after T2, is that were deemed non-canon by Cameron. Then he releases Dark Fates, which is worse than all the other prequels.
For last 38 years scenes and dialogue phrases are use it in Music, other Movies and more. There is 6 movies in total so far, most famous and make Terminator T-800 known is: Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) ... and yes ''I'll be back'' coming from here, also: ''Come with me if you want to live.'' (goosebumps every time though) :-) Recommended to watch all the Terminator Franchise ... Hasta La Vista Baby's ;-) Fun Fact: Arnold Schwarzenegger use '' You have been Terminated'' phrase when he running campaign for Governor of California, and he won! (of course!) :-)
*The Sequel is even Better IMO*
Yes I agree 👍💯
Good job, girls. It's nice to see that this old movie can still surprise and be thrilling. Besides all the Terminator sequels, you may want to consider watching the "Sarah Connor Chronicles." There are two seasons which tells the story of how Sarah raised her son, John.
A very good series - just a shame it got cancelled before it really hit its stride :(.
Stop motion Tori. Slow motion is a simple slip a fluent English speaker might make with 'stop' stuck on the tip of the tongue brain malfunction. I love your Graphic Design eyes coming into play while you are at play. We didn't have the computing speed back in the day and appearance may be stop motion or actual stop motion. I still love the old car chase scenes with everyday beaters most people can relate to as cars they drive daily. Perspective is everything individuals lack today. Love you girls!
Fun fact: James Cameron the director of this film lives near me in New Zealand 🇳🇿
Viki and Lia: "Is it over?" Then the Terminator torso suddenly sits up.
4:29 I really don't understood the question, why would you need a certificate or a license to buy a gun? Also just to let them know, you have to go through a very in depth backup check before they let you buy one
In Canada it is a far more strict process to purchase or own firearms requiring background check and a firearm license before you can even think about having a gun. I think these ladies are french canadian.
watched Madagascar, you'll like it.
The guy that plays Reese is an underrated actor named Michael Biehn. He costars in another James Cameron masterpiece called Aliens (1986). I'd react to that if you haven't already.
10:00 if this were made in 2021, Sara would be an easy target. She'd be distracted by her telephone.😁
4:12 yes you can buy guns like that here in the USA some states it is illegal.
@@nateman10 I don't think you can buy an uzi in commiefornia
It's a nationwide right to own arms, but some states do a background check and can deny you sale if you have a criminal record.
Miss Vicki, the animation you were trying to think of is stop-motion animation. where the robot structure was chasing them into the machining bldg. 🌺😁😁😎
Conan movies really got Arnold famous although 1976 is where he won a Golden Globe award for the movie stay hungry
"No control, walk in too close to feel the pain. I'm lost in you. Ohhh now you strike the match, light the flame. My hearts ablaze. I feel the heat of your desire, I just can't face the fire....You got me burning, you got me burning, you got me burning in the thhiiiird degreeeeeee..."
If you do end up watching more of the Terminator movies I highly recommend the sequel Terminator 2 💀
Same here
@@otisroseboro5613 Roger that
If they do end up watching more, wouldn't it make sense for them to watch that one next, the one you're recommending?
I watched this movie so many times love it. Die Hard too is another fave of mine.
In the first Terminator we learned that the saviour of humanity created himself (by sending his father back in time to meet his mother), the second movie is about the mirror of that. Then it went downhill.
RE 31:09 The technique you are thinking is "stop motion animated".
And in Terminator 2 they find out Reese is actually Sarah Connor
Now ready for T2! You will both enjoy it!
I am so glad you decided to watch The Terminator series. Terminator 1 is a good movie, but Terminator 2 - Judgement Day is one of the best movies ever made, best SF ever made for me. Must have watched it over 30 times, I almost knew it by heart back when I was a kid. React to it these hollydays, you won't regret it, russian panel all girl power!😉
PS: another thing, in this T1 you can feel the music is kinda grim and good but also bit old, while in T2 you don't feel that at all, it's completely rectified, it has one of the best soundtrack and also movie theme songs ever made, gives you shivers down your spine, it's better than most of the best movies made today. Can't wait for you girl panel to react to it!😌 But the action is so intense while the music enhances it that you won't even notice it.🤣🤣
I will leave it here, it's no spoiler, just the theme song of T2, with the intro for it: Terminator 2 Opening Credits (T2 theme) th-cam.com/video/cGrH901xMFI/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=saa182 Don't read the comments, they might contain spoilers! lol
You should do a group reaction to the Last Samurai
Merry Christmas Homies! you guys should definitely react to the Polar Express in my opinion best Christmas movie ever🎄✨✨
This movie is nearly flawless. Tight, logical, dynamic plot with great characters, acting, and an incredible hero arc for Sarah. As far as plot, I still love the scene where Reese counters every "inconsistency" in his "delusion". But when you get a secondary character actor like, for example, the criminal psychiatrist/psychologist just nailing his performance, that's directing.
Don't underestimate Arnolds performance. In reality, he is one of the funniest and nicest guys, so full of life 😂😂 He gives this role his absolute best, and when it's revealed that he is, in fact, a machine you believe it a 100%
You ladies need to watch Terminator 2, one of the best sequels and one of the best action movies ever made.
Merry Christmas everyone, have a great time. Greetings from Peru and like for you.
Lia: in 1984 yes no information was needed to buy guns. In 2021 we must pass an background ck which is via computer so very fast. Otherwise no other information is required
Can we have group reaction to The Mummy and its sequel The Mummy Returns. It'll be awesome.
That phrase is so famous because Arnold used it in several movies, but the one with the best comeback to when he said "I'll be back" was in Running Man when Richard Dawson told him "only in a rerun" th-cam.com/video/Jm4FEjICVog/w-d-xo.html
I watched this 10 yrs old home alone AMAZING movie
Kyle Reece serves under John Conner from 2021 to 2023, am I right?
Same lightning sparks when Terminator is crushed as when it arrived through time. The future we saw didn't happen that way?
The factory where the Terminator is crushed had a name above the door. Was it Cyberdyne Systems?
I watched Arnold Schwarzenegger on Johnny Carson on here talks about he scaring customers in a restaurant one night. He was in makeup showing his Cybernetic Metal on his face. Arnold was on his way to location that night. Reason that Arnold was promoting Terminator on Johnny Carson. He said people in there were freaking out. During the interview, Arnold told Johnny that he had a vocal coach to minimize his Austrian Accent for getting better movie roles.
You have to watch part 2. All sequels after that really don't matter, but because you liked this movie please watch the second movie. Rarely is a sequel better, but in this case it really is better.
at 19:55 suddenly Sarah realizes Reese is NOT crazy and every word he's said is true.
i know you guys only do recommendations through Patreon so hopefully a Patron sees this. You guys have to react to Ray! Jamie Fox LITERALLY becomes Ray Charles and is a fantastic grammy winning movie!
I recommend happy Gilmore and the waterboy next, those movies are great
- I'LL BE BACK!
- Aaah!! (Lia truly exited))))
Love this part of recognition the phrase))))
i would like to highly recommend the classic movie called *Phantoms* from 1998
33:32....that terminator was only blown in half..and like most machines even now they have a back-up battery
I recommend you also Terminator 2 and True Lies.
Everyone thinks Arnold is the good guy, from his off-screen persona. Little do they realize he was hired by James Cameron to unleash destruction and mayhem on an unsuspecting world. The turn reactors make when he guns down the suburban wife Sarah Connor. That's the one the always has the most emotion.
Definitely watch part 2
Viki sighing in relief at 29:19 when the truck barely misses them is very good. Love your almost heart attack, Viki & Lia, at 33:03 when it pops up unexpectedly with that creepy music. Love the Homies reactions. Then, you have to watch Terminator 2, the best in the franchise, IMO
The second one is even better! If I had to pick only one favorite movie it would probably be T2. But don't watch the rest after that.
Yes I agree 👍💯
The best
"future terminator"was played by the late franco columbo.
Terminator 2 is even more of a classic! 😎
Gun puchase is pretty simple and easy in most Southern and Mid-western states. It comes from a history of citizens having to defend themselves and their property in unpopulated areas and small towns. Purchasing a gun often needs just a drivers licence and no recent (5 years) major crimial record.
In New Zealand you have to do a mountain safety course firearm handling and pass. You take the pass to a police station with a recent photograph and they do a background check. After that is completed you have to have two references from people about your character that are interviewed. The arms officer interviews you at home and makes sure you have a decent gun safe. Then you get your license.
Kyle Reese, always wondered what Sarah was thinking about, when the photo was taken. She was thinking about him😢
Terminator is always one of greatest
i also remember watching lots of TE RMIN AATOR clones back in the 80s and early 90s
You're in a public place so you'll be safe.
Ahhhhh, check that. Arnold doesn't care. More people for the Terminator to kill.
You're in a police station, so you'll be safe.
Ahhhhh there are not enough police to stop the Terminator on a mission.
I would have liked to seen their reaction to Sarah and her roommate getting ready for their dates, and a few other pivotal moments that were cut from the reaction.
Full reaction is on their Patreon.
31:00 its not slow motion, its stop motion capture animation that youre thinking of.
In the USA you can buy rifles and shotguns right away ( I believe that you still need some sort of permit to own any type of gun ) but with hand guns you need to wait while they do a background check…
The metal Terminator at the end was animated via stop-motion and then composited into the filmed scene in post. Oftentimes, practical effects like that can look better - or at least more convincing - than CGI....but, sadly, not in this case. LOL! Still a very fun watch, though, don't you think? The story...the script...the performances.
T2, the sequel, ups the ante on absolutely everything. A must-see!
