"Look...I gotta baby to make and I'm wonderin', you wanna go half on it..." best pick up line lol

Sad fact: When Kyle speaks about the photograph of Sarah, he always used to wonder what she was thinking in that moment. At the end of the scene, when the picture is finally taken, we found out in that moment she was thinking of him all along. :(

Linda Hamilton and Sigourney Weaver are the two Queens of action movies. Sarah Connor and Ellen Ripely are iconic female characters.

Watching you watch Terminator, it’s like watching a child discover the world for the first time.....it’s magical.

2029 used to be so damn far.........now it’s 8 years from now....from someone that remembers 1984......damn.

"Business is dead for 'Tech-noir. Y'all never sell another $4.50 ticket again." 😆😆😆👍😥 #remembertechnoir Can't wait for your T2 reaction.

“Oh good you’re outta bullets!” Pulls out pistol “DAMNIT!!!” Lol

Alanda casually watching Terminator as dogs start barking outside her house o.o run

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. And yes I like it better than part two. The low budget, the grit, the guerilla filmmaking - it just has more heart than the sequel. And the chemistry between Sarah and Kyle is amazing. They did so much with so little.

If you can find it, Linda Hamilton was in Beauty And The Beast, an 80's show with Ron Perlman as the beast. It's kind of urban fantasy romance, before that was much of a genre, with 14 episodes written by GRRM (yes, GoT's GRRM).

You are a great reactor; very enjoyable to watch. I feel like I'm sitting in the room watching the movie with a friend. You have a new subscriber. Can't wait to see you react to the sequel. :)

"You got a lot of nerve!" When you said that to the Terminator i was cracking up. Also most people think that the £5 dollars for the photo was a con butvyou have a generous heart to give thee kid the full 5. Nice one!!! Thank you for this awesome reaction

RIP to Paul Winfield.....the black cop. He played MLK in the 1978 miniseries King with the recently departed Cicely Tyson portraying Coretta.

To submit to your request of cool shit about this movie: Arnie originally auditioned for the role of "Kyle Reese". His agent was looking for heroic roles to trade in on his ironman physique, a la CONAN THE BARBARIAN. He was turned down. However, even though the Terminator role was originally conceived for a more regular physique (and American accent), Cameron liked Arnie's enthusiasm and insights when he was auditioning for "Kyle". Against his own parameters, Cameron pushed for Schwarzenegger to be the Terminator. And thus a franchise and a directorial career were born. And, so too, was the iconic career of Arnold Schwarzenegger catapulted from cult to mainstream. All because Arnold failed to land the role of the hero. Enjoy TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY. It's one of the greatest sequels, greatest science fiction movies, greatest blockbusters, and greatest action movies of all time. No Kanye, just straight truth.

The hardest part for me to see was Reese’s visions of the future. The ground covered in skeletons. Kids having to hunt rats to eat. People using old TV sets as fireplaces. Sheesh. But the one bright spot of this hellish world is that we would be as one people united. As Reese said “we almost went out” but at least humans stopped treating each other as threats.

This is the most fun I've had with one of your reaction videos yet, Alanda. Any filmmaker would love to have you in the theater, eating whatever have you (butter popcorn with Junior Mints or M&Ms mixed in for me) and talking to the movie. ("Business is dead for Tech Noir. Ya'll will never sell another four dollar and fifty cent ticket again.") I appreciate your habit of using "sir" when talking to the screen. It never hurts to be polite, even when engaging fictional characters. Keep these videos coming.

Can't we just pop the SD card out LOL! Great reaction!

One theme of the film is that modern machines are dangerous, a foreshadow of the future. Ginger dies because she is dancing with her headphones on and can’t hear what is going on. The Terminator finds out Sarah is still alive because of her answering machine. The Terminator finds out where Sarah is located because he imitates her mother’s voice over the phone. Also, realize that John Connor, savior of humanity, has the initials J.C. Actress Linda Hamilton has an identical twin who appears in T2, and James Cameron married her after he divorced Gale Anne Hurd.

"Come with me if you want to live" is one of the most iconic sayings in movie history. The soundtrack for this film is awesome. Tahnee Cain & The Tryanglz--Burnin' in the Third Degree song from the Technoir club scene is my favorite.

"He can cut through you like birthday cake". Girrrrl you are hilarious!!! I'll never get tired of watching your videos, you always make me laugh, lol.

This movie had a shoestring budget for its time (about 6 mil) so a lot of the alleyway scenes were shot in the middle of the night without a permit. Same thing goes for that amazing final shot; according to the DVD extras they got caught by the police, but they lied and said their son was doing a film school project. The cop ended up blocking traffic so they could finish the shot. Love this film and super obsessed with it. Wonderful reaction!!!!

One thing I like about this movies is that there was more than one Sarah Conner; you never really think about that you know that a lot of people can actually have the same 1st and surname yet not be related to each other. It's just a tiny piece of realism that never happens in movies so it's kind of refreshing.

You have to admit, the love scene between the main characters were..... So sensually romantic.😣😩😫🥵🥰💓

"that`s not what a girl wants to hear" LoL :)

Saw this when it came out in the theaters. So many of those friends gone now. You and the others making these videos is like watching movies with friends again. Thank you.

No CGI in this one. All puppets, models, stop motion, and hand drawn lasers/lightning. I love 80's movies for the craft and workmanship that go into the effects and prop work. Definitely check out the sequel. For another Cameron/Arnold collaboration, check out True Lies.

My dad named me Reece after this lol

Also give True Lies a chance. Its James Cameron and it on amazon currently. Its a spy comedy. Love the channel.

Back when Michael Biehn was the most BAD ASS guy in Hollywood. The amount of tough guys with a heart he played was astounding. Really one of the most underrated GOATs.

Interesting fact: the cop who says “this is 1L19” makes a cameo appearance in T2. He’s the guy with the camera taking pics of Arnold after he got thrown through the glass.

I always thought it was cool that the moment the photograph of Sarah was taken and eventually caused Reese to fall in love with her, she was thinking of him. It's just one of those cool ways that the Terminator films play with time.

That scene where Schwarzenegger's leather jacket is "smoking" from fire, the film crew used real acid to make that effect. The crew would put a few drops of acid on Schwarzenegger's shoulders between film takes. Arnold could feel the acid burning his shoulders but he was a trooper. Also, the scene when Arnold is driving a car, his eyes would move from left to right and THEN his head would swivel to follow the direction. There was a slight delay. Arnold came up with that idea on set.

This was delightful. You are going to LOVE T2. I actually saw T2 before this when I was a kid--both films are so dang good. Also, if you're a fan of Gale Ann Hurd-produced things... you should IMMEDIATELY add the movie Tremors to your list, if it's not on there already.

Ooo, wait til you see T2. Sarah is a complete BADASS. I love how this one ends with her driving _towards_ the storm. That sweet little waitress is gone and the heroine is born. :)

To me this movie was a story told in three parts within the movie. First part was Sarah being a regular woman just trying to make it as a waitress and didn’t have a care in the world. 2nd part was her being scared of two things at first, 1 was Kyle because he was initially rough with her and she didn’t understand at first why anyone would want to harm her. The second thing was her not wanting anything to do with being the legend that birth the world’s savior. The third part was her acceptance of the fate and when she slept with Kyle at the hotel, it in my opinion had everything come full circle for her to be a badass woman that Kyle heard about. I feel though he got to experience a bit of it towards the end when they were in the factory and she said quote “on your feet soldier, on your feet”.

"Baby's first pipe bomb" ... that's adorable

For the police station, they were 'wrong genre savvy'. They thought it was some drugged up maniac or serial killer, so did all the right moves for that. They got the aid of the press, they told her to wait in a public space, they sent an officer there ASAP, and patrolled until thy found her. They did not anticipate the Terminator actually attacking the police station, but they still broke out the heavy weapons that would be used to punch through body armor. They thought they were in a slasher film, but they weren't

As far as I know you are the only one that caught the detail of the flesh decay on the terminator. After the precinct battle the flesh is dead. He is a walking corpse.

Fun fact:Those Nike sneakers that Reese wore are called Vandals which evolved to the Air Force One sneaker

"Can't we just pop the SD card out?" lmao Great reaction. You have a real way with words. Looking forward to seeing your reaction to T2.

Yes that was his real body. There is a photo of Arnold in white riding pants, black boots and no shirt on a horse. I drooled so hard over that picture. It was in a People magazine issue from way way back. 😋

Great reaction video. In Terminator 2, Sarah is not one to be messed with. It truly is the best sci fi action movie sequel in existence. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Not gonna lie, I think I love you a lil bit. 😅 So good.

By far my favorite reaction video to this movie. Her commentary was HILARIOUS. She was keeping it 100 haha

So glad you decided to watch this movie! This is peak-80's sci-fi, horror, action classic. Right up there with The Thing, for sure. If you liked this movie, I would highly recommend that you need to watch Alien, Aliens(another James Cameron film right there), and Robocop. I don't know if you've already seen any of those films yet, but if you haven't, they are all must-watches. The gold standard for films of this era. Obviously, you have to watch Terminator 2 now also. If you loved Linda Hamilton in this move, oh man, just wait till you see her in Terminator 2. She is next-level incomparable badass. I love this movie so much. It's just so dirty and scrappy and raw. It's got that wonderful sheen of 80's grime all over it. And yeah, the special effects are plenty dated and a lot of it looks pretty silly today, like the weird Arnold puppet heads and the stop motion stuff, but it's all made with this wonderful sincerity. You can really tell that they're trying to squeeze every last drop of creativity and value out of their limited budget, and just trying to make the most awesome thing possible. And of course you gotta mention Arnold! He was born to play this role. He may look like a human tank, and it's funny that an assassin robot has a thick Austrian accent for some reason, but he is so good as just this dead-eyed, soulless killing machine. Also, a bit of trivia: James Cameron was apparently inspired to make this movie from a dream he had, where a skeleton was crawling out of a fire and chasing him. That definitely exactly describes the entire last scene of this movie. :P

Kudos Alanda for watching the remastered version of the Terminator! A lot of folk were having a debate that this new version didn't sound the same as the original, but I watched the remastered version and loved every minute of it.

Man, I can't WAIT for T2!!!!! Hope she does it soon - the anticipation is killing me. 😀👍

First off LOVE the reaction! I hit subscribe within 5 mins! Your comments made me laugh and smile. I was 14 when this film came out and it is easily one of my top 5 favourite films. One of the most iconic movies of the 1980s. Arnold would have a heavy influence on my life-- I got into working out and competitive bodybuilding as I wanted to pattern my life after his. And while The Terminator was the villain in this film, a strange thing happened when the film hit the theatres in '84- audiences were cheering for Arnold... Especially during the police station shootout! Arnold was asked about the phenomenon in an interview and why people would "cheer for the bad guy." His answer was that at one time or another we all would like to be a Terminator for a day and "get the job done." Here's a tidbit of trivia--- when Kyle Reese is telling the police psychologist about the future, he says he was a soldier fighting the machines with the 132nd from (the years) "21" to "27"... Which would mean he started fighting in the year 2021! Also pleasantly surprised that you have watched the Sarah Connor Chronicles from 2008- I had a lot of love for that series and hated that they cancelled it on a cliffhanger. Glad you're going to watch Terminator 2- I would recommend Commando (Arnold's next movie after The Terminator), Predator and True Lies.

Excellent "reaction!" I didn't know that "first time viewing" with commentary could be so entertaining! I was twenty four when this film was released, but it never gets old watching the reactions of first time viewers!

That “12 gauge auto-loader” is actually a really interesting piece of firearms technology. It’s a Special Purpose Automatic Shotgun 12 (SPAS-12) manufactured by the Italian firearms company Franchi. It can function as both a semi-automatic action and as a pump action.

You had me laughing throughout your reaction, and that's impressive in 2021. I'm glad the Terminator on your street went somewhere else.

Ah the 80s--Pain don't hurt. I ain't got time to bleed. Just forget it.

Linda broke her ankle before the shoot. An assistant had to wrap her foot every day; her pained face as she runs down the alley behind Tech Noir was real.

The dogs going ape-shit are because there's a Terminator outside your place. :p Recommend watching Terminator 2 and that's where you stop. Also love the MCRN shirt. Represent! Filthy Dusters! BELTALOWDA!

25:03 now imagine if those dogs had started going off even 2 minutes later considering what you were about to learn...

R.I.P Bill Paxton who starred as one of the thugs at the beginning.

Fun facts about Gale Ann Hurd's involvement in this picture. She bought Cameron's script for this movie for a mere $1.00, with the condition being that only Cameron could direct, and only Hurd could produce, if a studio decided they were interested in giving this project the greenlight. The two had already befriended earlier as respective up-and-comers, and would even be married for a few years. Also, Hurd's screenwriting credit for this film was technically only in the form of suggested amendments to account for how guerilla this production was going to be, as producers are basically required to do anyway. So, despite not really writing much of anything in the script, her name was added to the screenwriting credit, supposedly, only to solidify the impression that this was be their project to make together, and thus convince execs that the two would be director and producer, respectively. I'm sure the resulting royalties didn't hurt either. Of course, Hurd does deserve a ton of credit for her ingenuity in ensuring that they didn't go overbudget, but still pulled off the scope and spectacle that Cameron had in mind, considering that this film was produced dirt cheap, as far as effects-heavy thriller movies go, even for the time.

"These machines need to get a life"... Worthy of Nietzsche x

"Baby's first pipe bomb" You killed me with that one. Subscribed.

I always thought it was beautiful that Kyle was always wondering what she was thinking about when that picture was taken.... she was thinking of him

Gail Anne Hurd produced a lot of James Cameron movies. They may even have been married I think.

I just stumbled across this channel and OMG I am so glad I did! I can't wait to binge watch all the videos with Alanda! She is smart, witty, funny and full of personality! Thanks Alanda!!

The film that catapulted Arnold to stardom!

34:36 there’s an extended scene that was on DVD features showing Sarah being loaded into the ambulance at the end, and as it drives off the camera pulls back showing the exterior of the building, and the company name CYBERDYNE... One of the best twists that a good time travel story gives in the cyclical nature of time and the “self fulfilling prophecy”...Sarah comments at the end “if you don’t send Kyle you can never be” I discovered your channel thanks to galaxy quest showing up in recommended, and can see you’ve already seen number two...but when Sarah is interviewed in the hospital “you don’t believe the company covered it up?” “No, why would they” Cuts to the laboratory...the self fulfilling prophecy of it had to be THAT building they ran into??? In the extended ending we also see a couple of the factory workers have been called in (supervisors or managers), and they find some of the shrapnel, noting how advanced it is compared to “current tech”, even commenting “jap stuff maybe?” And a cop tells them not to touch anything as it may be evidence...

This movie freaked out a couple of generations of people, regarding a.i. Facebook stopped an a.i. experiment when two a.i.'s started talking to each other in an unknown language, a language that had not been programmed into them. Facebook and Google continue to pursue a.i. along with other companies and governments. Something to think about.

Those Nikes started my shoe obsession back in the day.

36:06 If you think Linda Hamilton was great in this one, she'll knock your socks off in Terminator II. Oscar winning performance right there!

'He took a knife like bread takes butter" -> Just another example of the best reactor comments I have ever heard to movies. Such a joy to watch! Always makes my day to see a new reaction from you pop up on my subscription feed 👍

Wait until you see Linda Hamilton in T2, it'll blow you away!!!

Three of these actors were in Aliens. Check out the sequel and The Sara Connor Chronicles (tv series)

"Is this the best use of our pipe bombs?" brb LOL'ing forever

Idk why I LOLed so hard when you said the machines gotta get a life lolz. One of the greatest movies, especially about something that could possibly happen.

Awesome the first Terminator and the best

19:17 -- you talk over the moment when Kyle Reese says he fought in the machine war under "Perry" from ... wait for it ... [20]21 to [20]27.

Kyle Reese is the man. He gave everything possible for a man to give in order to protect the women he loved. Every guy in this world; be like Kyle Reese. True soldier, true warrior, true man.

It really hit me that 2029 is ONLY 8 years away! When this movie first came out and I saw it in the theater, it was the distant future!

Sarah Connor Chronicles is a great addition to the lore==to a certain extent (even with the limitations of network TV) it was the perfect sequel to T1 & T2. Better than any the movies to come after. Oh and if you love the idea of the future war, there's a first person video game set just before the final battle to take down Skynet.(EDIT) It might help if I gave the title of the game: Terminator: Resistance.

A perfect reaction, subbed

I'm a white CIS male twice again your age and half a world away, yet your recactions to this great movie echoed mine SO much. Thanks for sharing this, and I look forward to your next one.

"Oh! You got a lot of nerve!" Dead...just like Reese.

Alanda!!! GREAT REACTION!!! Thanks so much for the volume so we could hear the movie. Lots of reactors turn themselves up and the movie down, but you had it one-for-one. You left in a lot of key points, and your reactions were funny and cute. I can not wait for you to see "T2..." The only thing that I had a little dissonance with was how you were kind of getting on Kyle at the beginning, but you warmed up to him. In the question session at the station, as the psychologist was quizzing Kyle, you were commenting on how Kyle was sounding crazy; but my reaction was that I thought the psychologist was a condescending jacka**, full of himself. Ever meet one of these people? You can tell them something you may specialize in and, because they don't have your specialized knowledge, they say, "Nahh, can't be; you sure?" Ever happen to you? Happens to me all the time. You see...I'm from 2029! This really made my night. I'm going to go back and watch your face as you watch Arnold take out his eyeball. You know...putting your hand out like that blocks your view of the movie. Just sayin'! :) Oh am I gonna get popped!!!

Your Terminator reaction was brilliant. I’m glad you enjoyed the film. You make me want to watch it again and follow to see what you do next. Keep having movie fun. Respect ✊🏿

"He can cut through you like birthday cake" solid read on the situation Alanda!!!

I love the arc of Sarah in this movie. She goes from a pushover to “I didn’t ask for this and I don’t WANT it” growl to “On your feet soldier, on your FEET” it’s beautiful.

Rockin' the MCRN! Nice! "Who are we?!" "M M C!!" "Who are we?!" "M M C!!"

I never dreamed I’d laugh this much watching this movie. You had me cracked up the whole time. 😂😂😂😂 Thank you.

"I will go with you willingly and quickly." Made me LOL. Loved this quote. Your commentary is the best.

This is the third reaction of yours I've watched today, and I'm hooked. On another reaction channel, several people were talking about other good reactors they liked. @ MOLE mentioned you, so I decided to come see. Good job! I love your smart-ass remarks at the movies as well as your quick grasp of what's going on.

I loved it when you said you'd have that best curly high hair😋

The Terminator one of my favorite movies of all time. Great reaction Alanda. You never disappoint ..... Be Safe😷

It should be noted that the ending here is what lead to the Terminator Multiverse. Kyle said Sarah fled south to wait out the fallout, but at the ending we see her driving towards the storm, which leads us right into the sequel, where she begins taking the fight to Cyberdyne. Just a detail that most people don't catch. 'No fate but what we make' indeed...

Usually commentary is annoying but her's is highly entertaining. That impromptu ability is a talent.

Funniest thing is he is a cyborg who has perfect aim, yet for movie purposes, cause it looks cool, they have him use a gun with a laser sight that he doesn't need.

Fun facts: The voice of the guy on the answering machine is James Cameron. James didn't get permits for some of the stunt scenes such as smashing the station wagon window. I wonder if he was able to do multiple takes. LOL A majority of the men on the set were in love with Linda Hamilton. Particularly Michael Biehn. But James Cameron got the girl. They were married for a couple of years.

"Awww, baby's first pipe bomb. 💣" I'm WEEPING 😭😂

Now you *HAVE* to watch Terminator 2!

Subscribed. I love, love, LOVE “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles”! It was definitely a love letter 💌 to THE TERMINATOR and TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY.

Wow, I am impressed. The first movie reaction where I see someone pick up on things, like why the terminator lost the eyebrows or why the resistance base have dogs at the door. Finally someone with brains! :D Good reaction. See you at your reaction of T2 :P

I swear you're so much fun, just a few videos in and you're probably my favorite react channel.

This may be the best reaction video I've ever watched.
