I love The Terminator. Very low budget, but extremely well-done. You'll love the sequel. It's 17 times more expensive, and worth every penny.

You definitely gotta watch the sequel. One of the best action movies ever I think.

Is the sequel any good? Oh yes. One of the best sequels of all time!

I love the ending. Earlier Kyle said he had a picture of her and wondered what she was thinking about in it. All this time she was thinking about him. Breaks my heart to this day.

Terminator 2, Mary. Sequel of Sequels.

Always amazed when people haven’t seen this film -a genuine game changer in terms of the modern blockbuster, along with die hard.

Part 2 is mandatory, as im sure you'll be told in the rest of the comment section lol

Hi Mary, it's great you've seen this sci fi classic, you did a great reaction! Please watch it's awesome sequel Terminator 2: Judgement Day as soon as possible! It is amazing and is widely regarded as being better than the original. I'm a subscriber to your channel I enjoy your reactions.

Oh Hell yeah. My dad got my name from Terminator lol

As a guy born in the 80s, Sarah Connor and Ellen Ripley were my absolutely fave female leads in action roles. Such great role models for anyone regardless of gender!

20:08 The Terminator's hair, eyebrows, and jacket all got burned when he got set on fire, which is why he was checking his appearance in the mirror. One of his primary functions is to blend in with humans, so he had to make sure he still looked as "normal" as possible.

“He’s too persistent for my liking.” 😅😅 Best line of the video! 🎉

This might be my favorite Mary reaction yet. 1) the meta commentary about angry viewers leaving dumb comments, 2) the amount of times Mary was so surprised or disgusted she said "Nee" instead of "No" (I love the times when you react in your native language instead of English), 3) the funny comments, 4) the singing game while all the cops are being killed! That last one was amazing. I'm not quite familiar with that specific singing phrase. Not sure if you'll ever have a chance to answer this question on a future video, but what was that song & what were the words? This movie is so good for the very small budget it had. A classically great science-fiction film. The 1991 sequel is epic. A HUGE budget, state of the art special effects (for that time), but one that doesn't forget to bring up the fate vs choice dilemma raised in the first movie. The sequel is only so great because of that great work the 1984 movie did. It paved the way for the sequel to succeed. For me, the jump from "Terminator" to "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" is very similar to the jump from "Alien" to "Aliens." The originals are more sci-fi/horror while the sequels are sci-fi action movies. But it also helps that "Aliens" was also directed by James Cameron. For my money, the 2nd sequel is the only other Terminator movie you need to see, Mary. There are a lot of sequels & even some sequels that negate some of the other sequels; creating multiple timelines. It gets quite messy & none of the sequels after T2 come close to the first two in terms of good storytelling, good writing, or good movie making.

11:17 what an adorable realization, Mary. If most movies back in the 80s(my era) had cell phones, they wouldn't have been as exciting, and ended in the first five minutes.

I loved the bits where Mary started humming The Smurf Song as a coping mechanism. You can tell she's from Belgium. 😀

Nice reaction, as always. And you DEFINITELY have to watch the second one, it builds nicely on this one.

I saw this in the theaters with my sister and mom. And the way you discribed how you felt with your heart beating real hard, I think we all felt that leaving the theater. I say it took us about 5 to 10 minutes to calm down and all we could discuss was "What an intense movie that was."

That “game over man” over dub was hilarious! Great reaction as always Mary!

From the music to the direction to the editing, the whole scene in TechNoir is, simply, perfect

“Game over, man!” Lmao

Terminator 2 is so good you could teach it in film school.

Yes the second movie does follow this storyline with some significant twist and turns along the way. The sequel needs to be watched to get a full understand of this entire storyline.

One of my favorite details about this movie is how earlier in the film, when describing the photo he had of Sarah, Kyle muses that he used to look at it and would wonder what she was thinking about in that moment. She was thinking about him.

"29 cops went out to play..." You are a genius and I died laughing and started singing along. Will now sing that any time I rewatch this movie! OMG! 🤣 Also, YES, you HAVE to watch the sequel, LIKE RIGHT NOW!!! It's even better than the first one! I'll be watching for it on your channel!

Schwarzenegger was meant was the first choice for Kyle Reese but when James Cameron was sitting with Schwarzenegger he realised he's got to be the Terminator This was Schwarzenegger's 2nd or 3rd ever film and it made his career

OMG your reactions are the best... glad you got to finally watch this movie. Now you absolutely have to watch the sequel, so you can fully understand why this franchise is so iconic.

Hello Mary! Yes, the sequel is really good, some people even says that is better thant the first one. Hope you watch it because is one, if not THE BEST sequel of all time.

The second one is one of the greatest action, sci-fi movies ever made. You definitely should watch it.

Great reaction Mary. You'll enjoy Terminator 2.

Mary's musical kill count! 🤣🤣🤣

"He's too persistent for my liking." THAT should have been the tag line for this movie!

Terminator 2, YES! At least as good as the original. Yes, it continues the story, quite faithfully. You will not be disappointed.

30:58 Mary; "(something in French) I'm I'm no noo. His persistence, he's too persistent for my liking" Reese in the station; "You still don't get it do you? He'll find her! That's what he does! THAT'S *ALL* HE DOES! YOU CAN'T STOP HIM! HE'LL WADE THROUGH YOU, REACH DOWN HER THROAT AND PULL HER F***ING HEART OUT!" Can't blame an assassination machine for trying to fulfill its programming requirements. And that's what made this movie a sci-fi horror 38 years ago. Classic.

Mary, your little cop chime made me laugh harder than it probably should have 😂😂

“29 cops went out to play, over the hills and far away, Terminator went pew pew pew…” Mary you are so funny 😂😂😂

Terminator was Arnold's 2nd film. His 1st film was "Conan The Barbarian" based on the 1930's books by Robert E. Howard. The music for "Conan" was written by Basil Poledouris (also "Conan the Destroyer, "Robocop", "Hunt for Red October", "Starship Troopers," "Red Dawn").

I really think people underrate Arnold as an actor. Yes, of course, it's great casting. But he also is incredible at embodying the mannerisms and physicality of his characters. I always believe he is the character he's portraying.

"C'mon people need to sleep at night" lol. Love that you said that!

Great reaction! Yes absolutely must watch the second one!

When Reese swings metal pole at the terminator….then that sound effect…..f’ing could not stop laughing. Bravo!!! That to me is what a “special edition” version of a film should be.

Such a good film, I saw interview with Arnold Schwarzenegger were he talked about getting the role as Terminator. James Cameron had originally wanted him for Kyle Reese but when Arnie read the script he persuaded Cameron to change roles. Appears to have been a perfect fit! Also, adorable seeing your two cats melding into one in the background. And YES, the sequel is one of the best sequels ever!

Yes, you should absolutely watch the second one. It is, without doubt, one of THE best sequels and THE best sci-fi action films ever made. And then STOP after the second one, trust me.

13:57 -- Arnold is one of the few people who can hold an Uzi with one hand and fire it without the gun flipping over or flying out of his hand. The man is uber-human.

Lol , “what do you have to do - unscrew him?” 🤣

Of course you have to watch and react to T2. its one of the few series where the 2nd movie is even better than the first one. And just like Aliens: T2 was also directed by James Cameron! The guy cannot fail on sequels (I hope this holds true for Avatar as well)

You'll be told to watch the 2nd... It's one of the few sequels that are as good as or better then the original. ...and that comment about watching with your parents... Some of are old enough to be your parents, so there's that 😀

I'll have you know, when you asked if they needed to unscrew the Terminator to make him stop almost killed me. I inhaled my tea and just about died. that was the funniest thing I have ever heard.

That Hudson soundbite from Aliens (Kyle Reese is in that too) totally caught me off guard, after the brief confusion of hearing something that I recognized but knew was out of place I laughed out loud. The "bonk" sound effect that was placed over Reese hitting the Terminator was funny as well.

I remember the day when I borrowed this movie from the local video store when they were a thing back in the 80s in New York. It left such an impact on me. All of the commenters below will tell you what I'm already going to say - watch the sequel. It's so much more epic! This is the film that originated the "I'll be back" quote. In fact, it was so popular that a few of Arnold's movies that followed "The Terminator" uses the quote in really funny ways. Here are some more classics to react to someday: "Duck Soup" (1933); "Bringing Up Baby" (1938); "The Awful Truth" (1937); "Goodbye, Mr. Chips" (1939) and "Gone With the Wind" (1939).

yes Mary, the sequel is awesome as well.

That people didn't know Arnold was a bodybuilder makes you feel THAT old! 😅😅😅

One thing I've found amusing in this movie is how early on the Terminator runs over a toy truck and later, a similar looking real one runs over him. There are a number of sequels. However, the second on really completes the story and the rest are various degrees of cnot good".

Hi Mary I enjoyed this a lot . Your reactions and comments are on par and I appreciate your humor added in . I look forward to your reactions and comments for Terminator 2.... I prefer the second one even more .... just wished that Kyle would have lived . Thank you for this Sunday treat

One of the best things about Mary is how wholesome she is in her reactions. 🙂

Mary: jokes about Kyle being the father... All of us: grinning at that joke...

😹😹😹😹the Aliens ref for Bill Paxton was aces.

34:30 Yes! You should go for Terminator 2. Is a must. And the less you know about the movies in general, always will be better for the reaction itself :)

I was not expecting them, but the nursery rhymes recital during the precinct shootout was AMAZING! Hahah

You've never seen this film, yet when the Terminator starts to cut itself open, you start singing the chorous to the Smurfs song from the 1970's...priceless!!!

I feel so sorry for all those that weren't around in the 80's to witness these films upon release

This movie ranked at #82 in 100 scariest movie moments on Bravo, cool reaction as always Mary, take care sweetie 🥰🥰

"He's too persistent for my liking"... Oh my God... I lost it 🤣

Kyle always wondered what Sarah was thinking about in the photo...and she was thinking about him.

You cut out one of my favorite scenes. The kids huddled around the TV with the fire in it. I just thought it perfectly showed how much life had changed for the survivors.

#2 gets made about 10 years later. The special effects are way better and I think it's an even better movie than #1 Can't wait to see your reaction to it. Please don't make us wait too long!

I totally respect your squeamishness. It's a tribute to the film maker that you were so drawn in, that the special effects felt real. When I hit stretched like that, I instantly dissociate myself & wonder how they made such believable effects. AND he did it on such a low budget. No one - except maybe James Cameron & Gayle Anne Hued - expected it to become a classic. Just a low budget B-movie. This made the careers of everyone involved. I deserves its 'film classic' status. Thanks for watching! 😁

6:55 --- The guns in stores are all unloaded. And the first rule is to NEVER keep ammo on the same counter you're showing the firearms at.. Mostly for exactly this reason... A smart person, brings ammo in their pockets.

This reaction was hilarious Mary . I especially liked the song you were singing in the police station scene . You probably should watch the sequel. A lot of people consider it better than the first one . To me the first one’s better.

So happy to see your rection on this movie. :)

"Stop moving! Be dead now!" 😂😂😂 I can't 🤣

Loved the "BONK" you added! Terminator 2: Judgement Day is considered one of the best sequels ever made. Definitely a must watch.

Always LOVE your reactions Mary!!

That song you start singing at 21:30 is HILARIOUS!!! Your reactions are always so fantastic 😆

Reese fell in love with Sarah, looking at a picture of her that was taken when she was thinking about how much she loved him.

OJ Simpson was considered to play the role of 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."😳🤦 Tom Selleck, Lance Henriksen, Mel Gibson, and Sylvester Stallone were considered as well. Bruce Springsteen, Michael O'Keefe, Tommy Lee Jones, Christopher Reeve, Sting, Scott Glenn, and Matt Dillon were considered for Kyle Reese. Lea Thompson, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Jessica Harper, Melissa Sue Anderson, Rosanna Arquette, and Lisa Langolis were considered for Sarah Connor.

Only at the introduction but I suspect this movie will not be your "cup of tea". However Terminator 2 is a great movie (James Cameron) and more "human" in many ways. I think you will enjoy that one much more.

Terminator 2 is one of the better sequels out there. Definitely watch that one next. Like someone else pointed out, watch the theatrical cut not the directors cut. The theatrical cut's ending if far superior than the director's cut ending. So yes please watch T2 but then for the love of God, stop, anything after 2 is not worth it.

"He's too persistent for my liking" is without a doubt the funniest thing I've heard anyone ever say about the Terminator.

The look on your face, as the naked terminator approaches the punks, is priceless.

Loved the reaction! Please watch the 2nd one

OMG Mary, you had me laughing so hard in this reaction. You were in rare form. Any how the second movie is amazing, you will not be disappointed, hope you don't wait too long to watch the sequel.

Terminator 2: Judgement Day is one of the few sequels that meet or exceed the original. The following sequels, well the best that can be said about them is "your mileage(experience) may vary"..

20:04 -- if I had one eye, you can bet your ass that I'd have someone make me a glass one with a red LED in it.

I loved the song you sang when the police station was being attacked. So funny! I definitely appreciate how much you were into the time travel story of it all. You should 100% watch Terminator 2 and then not bother with any of the ones after that.

Terminator two. watch this one next , its a trip

Me: That scooter is sweet! Mary: I love her hair and pastel colors.

"People need to sleep at night" "This was the perfect ending, another sex scene, goodbye, next " Those were epic reaction quotes Mary 😂. Honestly with the terminator destroyed and Sarah and Kyle moving on, it would've been the perfect ending. But then we wouldn't have any sequels now would we? I know you love your cats but they distracted you from the biggest jump scare sequence @30:54. Anyways of all your reaction videos this was my favorite Mary. I strongly recommend T2. Not only is it widely regarded as better than the first movie ,it's also my favorite movie of all time. Thank you Mary 😊

Nobody mention ANYTHING about the sequel, T2. Let her go in fresh.

Awesome reaction! There are a few sequels that are equal to or even better than the first. T2 definitely fits in that category!

Fun fact: The director, James Cameron, designed the night club so well, people were coming off the street during filming, because they thought it was a new hot night club in L.A. and they wanted to dance and have a good time. The band actually performed songs from the movie long after it was made. Tahnee Cain and The Tryanglez.

11:35 --- It's normal.. Everyone gets used to how we live today... It's a whole different world than what we had then. In a lot of ways.. I miss it.

Terminator 2 is stellar... T3 is Meh T4 is Meh but a fun watch T5 was a cash grab T6 is Director JC's two finger salute to Hollywood Honestly Terminator and Terminator 2 are good enough as a single coherent story

If you watch terminator 2 I recommend the theatrical cut.

27:23 "Every time you're like, 'He's dead now,' NOPE." Yeah, that's pretty much the movie summary right there! 🤣

The second movie does follow this, and it's one of the few sequels that is highly acclaimed by viewers as a must-see.

Just going to throw out there that if you are going to recommend Terminator 2 (which I agree with), don't assume she knows anything about it! Keeping all of the movie's surprises, even ones that were given away in the 1991 advertising, will make for a more entertaining video.

Another reactor summarized the movie this way: "They're fighting over her vagina!" Unique, but accurate.

The second movie is amazing. 100% review.

The second one is legitimately one of the all time great movies. It’s so effing fun and good.

Great reaction as always! You'll love T2! Please watch it :)
