"It's about a guy that became a... Robert?" so cute 🤣

This year The terminator will celebrate 40th anniversary.

Referring to phone books you said, "I think you had to have a listed number." That's true, but 99% of people did. An unlisted number had to be requested specially.

The sci'l-fi movies of today got their inspiration from the 1984 Terminator film of yesterday. The Terminator was a unique film for its day. THIS is the movie that would be the leader to all future sci-fi films to model from. In my opinion, it still holds up 👌 very well. -OG

This movie may be cliche to Lucy, but in the 1980's it was mind blowing. It also made a lot of people more aware of how badly technological advancements could go in a wrong direction. From the perspective of people who saw it in the theater, it seems like the possibility of this movie's future becoming reality was more likely with every passing year. To answer Daniel's question about being listed in the phonebook, in the pre-internet years, whenever you signed up for telephone service, the phone company would automatically publish your name and address in the phonebook. If you wanted an "unlisted number", then you had to pay an extra monthly fee to keep your name and address out of it.

This is the problem of young people watching movies in "reverse order". They are jaded by today's technology and expecting old movies to be as good as new ones visually. Plus, there is so much entertainment out there that we all get to see 100 variations of every story idea these days. They can't tell what things were like when they were first conceived. While I understand their POV, it is too bad that they can't quite put themselves back in time to imagine the wonder of the audience in those days. Us older folk remember the old tech (or lack thereof) and have seen all the leaps. It was also interesting to see her reaction when her roommate's boyfriend gave her a peck as she left the apartment. That is such a 2020s reaction regarding personal space. In the old days, people were much more touchy feely even in simple friendly moments. No one would think anything of it.

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....

Greetings from Finland!!! Cannot wait to see her reaction to Terminaror 2 judgment day!!! "i'll be back" 😎

the yellow pages gave the telephone number and address of businesses. The white pages did the same for individuals.

Almost in the first scene with the three guys, the blue haired is Bill Paxton, a very well known actor who appeared in Titanic, Aliens or Twister, among another ones.

The cool thing about time travel movies is that everyone has their own version of "what would happen if..." The scenarios are too broad. As Sarah said in the end, it can drive you crazy thinking about it. 😂

"Ill be back" is possibly the most iconic one-liner in film history

27:13 , I love to point this out on reactions. She was thinking of HIM! Wild paradox type sh!eeeeeet!

The sci-fi that Lucy needs to see is Blade Runner. Lucy is sharp and this is a more cerebral movie. Also, the effects are all practical and very well done. Oh, and Daniel, marry that woman!

Phone book: If you had a phone, it was listed in the phonebook. It was difficult to get an unlisted number. You had to justify this. It was a more sane era. The Yellow Pages were in the back. They were for commercial numbers. A government section was either in the very front, or between the white pages and the Yellow Pages.

Since special effects has such an effect on Lucy that the “very poor” quality of the special effects and the resulting “lack of reality” negatively impacted her view of this ’84 sci-fi classic (along with its “cliché” plot), and she is under the impression that “it was one of the first action movies” (thanks to Daniel), I suggest she watch movies by Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd, the pioneers of action movies. See if it helps to cure this cliché affliction of the current generation that makes it suckers for modern special effects and think everything began in the 80’s, 90’s, etc.

Kyle should’ve stolen fresh pants at the store

I've noticed that out of all the reactors I've seen watch this movie, the female reactors always seem to figure out Kyle is the father super early. A lot of them before they even hint at it in the movie. It's so funny. And here Lucy is, figuring it out early.

Hi Daniel and Lucy shame that she didn't enjoy the film but for me it's one of my favourites along with the second one, and I also know which film Lucy was talking about personally I'm not a big fan of the later films but Lucy may like them more than this one, and when Arnie wanted to get away from bodybuilding his first film was Hercules in New York back (1970), but the role that made him famous was as Conan in the film Conan the Barbarian (1982) and It's sequel Conan The Destroyer (1984), he made The Terminator after making it big in those 2 films first, also would love to see what Lucy thinks of the film Bladerunner (1982) and the Conan Films as well.

Really enjoyed watching your reactions. Not a Patron yet, but I could have two small recommendations. I do have great respect for persons with phobias, etc., but, still having regard to that, the best movie for Lucy and other "AI" skeptics/paranoids is usually considered to be "I, Robot", which is also a really good movie. Modern special effects, a happy ending, and one of the few "Will Smith" movies I really enjoyed him in. Second, I did check all your prior videos and saw that you reviewed "Gladiator" some time ago. A precursor to Gladiator was "Sparticus", starring Kirk Douglas, Sir Laurence Olivier, Peter Ustinov, Tony Curtis, and directed by Stanley Kubrick (Daniel might know who some of these people were). Kubrick also did "2001 A Space Odessy" and "Clockwork Orange". (The runtime for Sparticus is 3 hours and 16 minutes, so store some popcorn). As for other genre's on your "playlist", don't forget "Promethius" in the "Aliens" series, which I consider the best of the lot! Have fun!

18:17 -- Kyle tells Sarah that Terminators will be invented in "about forty years." Say, how many years has it been since 1984 now?

First visit to your channel - do like your reaction a lot. Lucy as 8 year old: Please no... I am traumatized. Lucy now: Hahaha - funny (oke - not when the T-100 was damaged, but when a lot people died) 😎 Sums up my experience although I was already a bit older when it was released. Short history about phone books: Its really weird how times are changing. I am in my mid 50s and german... and yes... telephone books with numbers AND adress were just normal in the past. You could ask the phone company (which was owned by the state back then in Germany) to not be listed. But usually people had no reason to not get listed. In USA it was a bit different cause already privatized. But I guess if you got a number you also have been automatically listed in the phone book until you demanded to not be listed. Normal people were not afraid of having their adress in a phone book. About your final statement about you expecting the future becoming totally dystopic. Did you already watch "Back to the future"? First this is a really fun movie if you like the humor. Its more a comedy. And at the end... (and in part 2 especially) they put many ideas about the future of 2015 in the movie which is not even close to be realized. And about the plots... yes... many movies copy each other. But this plot in the mid 80s was really special and unique. Also the brutality was kind of special - from people who didnt watch brutal movies at all The Terminator was indeed sort of a horror movie. Thank you very much for your reaction. As a reaction video junkie I surely will check out your channel much more 🙂

Much praise. So few reactors catch that, when he said he always wondered what she was thinking about, she was thinking about him. A love lost across time. Still hits heavy.

See if she would like the sequel better….. That one is most people favorite.

This movie ranked at #82 in the 100 scariest movie moments on Bravo

If you would like to see Arnie in a comedic/action role, check out Kindergarten Cop.

your personal information is 1million times more available now than in the "phone book" days. Plus you could always just have an unlisted number if u wanted.

The movie actually had a low budget and affected many of their choices and abilities to create the film. I'm enjoying your honesty. Some reactors over do it or always say they really liked a film when they don't. I recommend getting separate head phones. Some movies you really need to here both left and right channels to catch everything.

The thing with special effects is if not done right ( not possible at the time), they look fake, practical effects looked beter. Has she seen the '82 the thing? Very scary practical effects.

I don't believe the movie aged badly. Even if they did not have the money to do something better, the effects can be easily explained, he went through accidents, he looks like the doll they used for the surgery. It takes a lot for me to think it's "not real". But what is real in the end? This Arnold face puppet that exist in real life? They had to build it. Or the computer generated imagery they use nowadays which doesn't look real either? I watched "the making of terminator" and how they realized these effects/shots was incredible. It's like they went outside, picked up some sticks, rocks, mud, and built a city. Yes it was efficient use of nothing, they made something out of nothing. So you don't like ladies with long black hair? if you liked the ring/ringu then maybe you will like the grudge. Only that it's a bit complicated as the grudge 2004 is a remake of the best scenes from the director's original student films Ju-on: The curse and Ju-on: The Grudge (2000-2003). The 2004 version is an american remake, so it has known actors, but personally I liked the low budget/Japanese only aspect of the original 4 movies (about 4hrs runtime i think).

'Really moving'= It's moving fast.

For some older action movies, try: "Bullitt" (1968) "The Eiger Sanction" (1975) based on a book "Dirty Harry" (1971) "Magnum Force" (1973) sequel to "Dirty Harry" "Death Wish" (1974) based on a book "Where Eagles Dare" (1968) from a book by Alister MacLean "The Towering Inferno" (1974) based on 2 books "First Blood" (1982) "Lone Wolf McQuade" (1983) "The French Connection" (19971) true story "The French Connection 2" (1975) part 2, not a sequel and something that came out the same year as "The Terminator": "Runaway" (1984)

This movie is before its time,skynet in the states are security services, and in China s skynet security has over 600 million cameras for recognition of citizens (for example) if you associate with someone who has a low credit score, they will lower yours and then your work to only to raise the scores back so you can purchase food,etc and USA is next,sucks right

Have you ever seen an American movie where someone said to another person something like "call me, my number is in the phone book"? You guys are young, but there was a time when such a publicly available list of phone numbers and addresses was considered necessary. Now our phones memorize all the necessary numbers, addresses, emails,... and it's easy to find them online for almost any company or organization you need, but yes, as shocking as it may seem, not so long ago that's how it worked. Have you done the math? That technology will not be available for another 40 years, and it says so in 1984, that is, by 2024, which is the year we are in. The technology is still under development, but it's on track to create that and worse.

"The Villain " was Arnie's first film.

Okay. For those who are not of a certain age, it was customary for your name and phone number, at least, to be in the white pages of the phone book as part of your getting a phone installed in your house. If you wanted to not have a listed phone number it cost more per month for the service. In my case it cost 30 cents per month extra to have an unlisted phone number.

Hercules in New York should go on a poll.

Terminator 2 (1991) and Aliens (1986) are probably the best sequels ever made!

''not the horses! !not the horses!!'' ....''what horses?'' LOL

This is the episode that got me to watch the show on a regular basis

Enjoyed the reaction for the most part. I have to say I saw this when it came out and the special effects were excellent and almost everything was practical (REAL physical things you can touch and feel). I personally have a very hard time with movies these days that are full of CGI (not REAL) that are just computer generated images that in many cases makes impossible for me to relate because it is so fake. Also, to call any of this movie a cliche is absolutely ridiculous, it was the first of it's kind and ground breaking in so many ways. 1984-2024 hmmm 40 years ago. Maybe some of this has become cliche over that time because of Hollywood copy cat bs. I did not enjoy the review, not 1 bit!

1. Linda Hamilton ROCKED. She's really built in T2. "Terminator 2 Judgment Day" is the action movie GOAT. 2. Lance Henriksen/Vukovich, Michael Biehn/Reese and Bill Paxton/punk also played in "Aliens" as Bishop, Hicks and Hudson respectively. 3.We have limited AI now. So does China.😱 4. If this wasn't a movie the ammunition would not have been available on the gun shop counter. 5. Ginger's boyfriend Matt must be a lousy lay if she needs rock and roll to "rock and roll".🙄 6. Watching people react to the eye operation is worth watching this all by itself. 7. THAT'S a bitch slap.😏

Everyone thinks, how can Kyle be in love with Sarah, just because of a photo? Keep in mind that Kyle comes from the future, he knows absolutely everything about Sarah, what she did, he knows "the legend", so he knows Sarah very well. And besides, she is pretty.

Terminator is the greatest film i have ever seen in my life...Dont judge a book by its cover..

The Terminator and the sequel Terminator 2: Judgment Day (one of the best sequels in cinematic history, and even better than the original, in my opinion) certainly hold up very well in this day and age. In fact, they are even more relevant nowadays with the emergence and rapid development of artificial intelligence; Sky Net and the dawn of malicious machines are right around the corner!

I enjoyed your reaction! Before you watch Terminator 2, I recommend checking out a Trailer called "Terminator 2 Teaser Endoskeleton Factory". I have never seen anybody react to it yet, so it would be cool if you did, it just lasts 1 minute. I think this is a brilliant and unique trailer from back in the day, because it doesnt spoil the plot at all, like it is the often the case in modern movie trailers. This trailer doesnt even contain a single scene from the movie itself, yet it perfectly explains the setup for the 2nd movie and why there is a second Terminator. However stay away from other trailers, because they contain spoilers

some movies the gas tank is hit. some movies like this one the tailgate of the truck is hit. Explosion vs non explosion

That machine is called a hydraulic press. Speaking of which, I recommend the channel Hydraulic Press Channel and its off-shoot Beyond Hydraulic Press, if you enjoy hydraulic presses, engineering humor, laid back technisians and Finnish rally English.

Horses are good to detect Samara!

Resse: I've come from the future to be your baby daddy.

The movie is ICONIC despite the low budget, same applies to Evil Dead 2 (1987).

Its a shame you saw this low budget masterpiece with the horrible 5.1 remix. They ruin several sounds to create the 5.1 channels. The Terminators 45 longslide is supposed to sound like a cannon. In this remix, his 45 longslide hand cannon sounds too much like a squeaky toy

Great movie

The transformation of Sara begins in this movie. The progression is slow at first but she is not the same Sara by the end of the movie.

Check out the movies Predator(1987) and Men In Black(1997).

I liked the interrogation scenes with Dr. Silberman. "Why didn't you bring any ray guns?" I got another time travel movie suggestion for you it's one of my favorites, The Final Countdown (1980) The U.S.S. Nimitz goes back to December 6th, 1941. It's filmed on the Nimitz. It's like Top Gun meets Back to the Future.

You guys should consider watching "True Lies" (1994) also directed by James Cameron, might turn her to Schwarzenegger a bit more lol. its such a fun movie!

6:58 role of Conan was the most perfect role for Arnold. And is it wonder that Conan Barbarian is he's best movie 🙂

Terminator 2 best

You had to pay extra to have an unlisted number.

She says the effects are very poor. Fair enough, but I'd like an example of something created in the past 15 years that looks as real/terrifying and as cool as the Terminator at 30:40.

Sarah Connor will have to name ALL HER SONS John! (If she ended up having more than one)

You two should still react to T2...at least. If you don't go any further in the series, she has to watch the sequel.

His first role? Arnold had a brief career in porn before this. You can see why in his first scene in THE TERMINATOR.

It’s been a long time since I’ve dealt with anything related to a phone book but I do remember that you could have yourself excluded from it.

The TV offer both light and some comf.. oh, right. :O

Two good time movies you should react to 1: the Philidelphia experiment 2: The final countdown both from the 1980s✌️❤️🇺🇲

I wonder how often they walked those horses

If I had secret knowledge about who was going to be my father and with the time travel thing, I would definitely want my dad to end up with my mom, because my entire existence depends on it. Back to Future exemplifies this plot rationale very well.

Heroin is the drug, heroine is a female hero. That one "e" letter makes all the difference in meaning.

3:00 Yes! Exactly!

I believe the word “heroine” is just being taken out of context. In English, it’s the name of the drug, but also the feminine version of the masculine “hero”. A very easy slip, due to the confusing variants of English words.

Great reaction to great film

"It's so weird that you could get peoples names and addresses out of a book", your right its not like where you can get peoples names and addresses with a few strokes of the keys''' your right, that technology is decades away....(Rolls eyes)

All phone numbers & addresses were listed, unless you called the phone company & requested to have your number and/or address unlisted.

"PuSSY"... Aahahahahah aint laughed in ages like that

I am in California and you need a permit, but then you absolutely can just buy a gun. I don't know the actual process but it's not hard. Ads for guns and ammo come in the mail along with ads for groceries and things. Geez this lady loves the skulls. She loves the guy getting his heart ripped out, and the guy getting blown up in the future. This woman is crazy. Though in all reacts she seems the quickest to get what's going on.

It was THAT big at it’s time, not full of clichés that, when it comes to that theme of time travel, going to the past and changing things, how the future would be that the most iconic franchise at the movies about that: Back to the Future, came OBE YEAR AFTER The Terminator! And the effects were not that low budget, yes, it was not a movie with a gigantic budget like so many seconds third or later part of any big movie franchise, but the effects were very good at that time, they came right after the big thing at movie effects that came with Star Wars, so here we see stop motion (for the only robotic part of the terminator at the end and the fake Arnold’s head for the human eye removed), and that kind of fake heads or parts of a human were very advanced at this movie at that moment… but yes, just a few years later with a way bigger budget and yes, the digital effects already being used at the movies: Terminator 2 became a huge revolution at movie effects.

Super reaction, thank you. Yes, AI is something to be concerned about. Like other computer technologies it's advancing at an accelerating rate.

A I is already....here

"Why are you laughing when soldiers are dying" "Oh, that was funny" WHATTA...

I'm not sure I understood what you said about the word heroine. If you had English subtitles on, then there's a difference on how you spell heroin (drug) and heroine (female hero). But maybe they are spelled in the same way in Portuguese?

More A.I. related movies for your consideration: *_Blade Runner, Blade Runner 2049, Ex Machina_* which are all thought provoking.

please watch the Band of Brothers miniseries…you’ll love it…and marry her dude 😊

If you saw a female robot then you're talking T3. I remember watching a movie when I was young that gave me nightmares. Saw it 10 years later and wondered why it bothered me so much when I was younger. Just my young naive mind.

great movie and pretty decent reaction. Im glad he was here tor help her mind understand that at the time this was top tier and it was a low budget film even for 1984. Like he said everything she has scene post Terminator built on this so to see its a clique move but my issue with her and lot of people in her era is they have zero perspective of history. I understood in the 80's when i watched films from the 50-60s that that time period and thingf from that era were built on what i was witnessing in early 80's. Hopefully her cerebral power will increase as she ages.

I've never seen this movie even though Arnold is my neigh-bah.

Hi, I've just discovered your channel and I've subscribed. Please react to this iconic sci fi movie's sequel Terminator 2 soon, it's the GOAT sequel. Production on this first movie got put back several months and in that time, director James Cameron wrote Aliens!

A lot of things in today's movies and stories that you see is actually taken from a few old movies from those years back then and one of them was Terminator. Today's stories take ideas from Terminator and Alien and Predator. Back then there was no cliché, the story was very original for its time. And she still is. Effects are good even for today. Today's effects are too much CG. Too much computer animation. So for me Terminator 1-2, Alien 1-2, Predator 1 are some of the very great movies of all time.

For true nightmares. Try THE OTHERS and SMILE

Terminator is from 1984

Ohhhh então vocês são portugueses e vão aos Cinemas NOS também? Hahaha "I'll be back".

Sarah Connor is one of the true first generation strong powerful women. Linda Hamilton who played her was robbed in the sequel she should have been best actress at the Oscars.

Good reaction, however I disagree on the effects... to me the stop-motion and practical effects make it creepier and more real than any movies nowadays over the last 10 to 20 years, ironically the movies today to me look fake, they look like I'm watching video games so I'm not sure what you're expecting out of the movie , All the car crashes and car scenes were real and of course the future showed a lot of model spaceships but if you look at Terminator 2 next you'll see that the practical effects are incredible with very minimal CGI which is better than any CGI of today to be honest.

. Yeah , N O

Like yoo im sick of this he said she said BS!🎶🎶

vanishing 7th street

Hydraulic press.

If you think she looks the hero in this movie you ain’t seen nothing yet . . .

you guys can skip this one, she wasn't impressed
