16:52 He lost his eyebrows and singed his hair in the fiery car explosion (when Reese shoots the gas tank) after leaving the club. And it does make him look really creepy.

Seeing you appear in the doorway whilst also reacting really freaked me out 😂

The Terminator and Reese appeared naked because during the police interrogation, Reese mentions an “energy field generated by living organisms. Nothing dead will go through” the Time Machine. That’s why clothes and weapons cannot go through. The Terminator went through since it’s covered by living tissue.

Haha young people. Yes phone books used to have addresses and that was often how you’d figure out where your friends lived. You think that’s crazy, in the first half of the 1900s newspaper social columns would print things like “Joe Smith and family, of 123 Pine Street, will be out of town next week visiting his parents in Chicago.” There were fewer crazy people back then, or maybe they were all institutionalized.

"It's like the Bible, but on asteroids." The best descriptive line that I have heard yet.

"They should go back to stop motion" Girl yes

His eyebrows got burnt off when Reese blew up the car with his shotgun.

What is so sad is that when Reese was talking about the photograph, he mentions how sad Sarah looked. He always wondered what she was thinking about. Reese didn’t know that Sarah was thinking about him. 😢

10:30 - LOVED your peeking in from the door bit! lol

"how does the terminator come back?" Remember, they're made in a factory, it was "model 101". They probably have a number of different faces but still churn them out by the hundreds. So in the sequels, it'll still look like Arnie, but would be a different Terminator. Like if you wrecked your car, you could buy the same make and model car, in the same color, and it'll look all but identical to your old car.

Your're one movie ahead with the Hasta La Vista, but correct franchise ;) P.S.: And so happy your cat is doing fine.

The movie really holds up after all these years.

This is the best terminator movie. It has the best story. T2 is the most popular, it had a much bigger budget with more explosions and car chases and a helicopter and _stuff._ But this one had the best story, and it has got the horror element to it and romance as well. The ending of T1 wraps up all loose ends, yet leaves you perplexed and wondering. It is beautiful and poetic, sad, and many things bundled up in one. These are some of the reasons it's my favorite.

The full-length shots of the skeletal Terminator were done with stop-motion, but the close shots, where you couldn't see the whole thing, were done with an animatronic puppet. It's pretty funny looking at behind-the-scenes shots where you can see that the Terminator's upper body puppet is attached to a welded-up frame with two little wheels on the bottom, and there's a whole crew of puppeteers and SFX guys crowded in behind him pushing him along like a wheelbarrow.

oh my god your face creeping through that door is hilarious, please never change amanda haha

Oh my god that was the creepiest subscribe thing I've seen .LOL

On of my old family cats ate a thread too. It was hanging out each end and was caught up all through her body. She had to be cut up all along her digestive tract to free it. She survived, glad to hear yours is doing well too!

I saw this as a kid. Now that I'm older I find it funny that I was surprised that Reese was the father. Everyone seems to see that coming. Oh to be that innocent again. Now when I see it, 2 things stand out. 1) I find it sad that Reese never knew he was a father. And 2) of all the things i found scary as a kid, now the only thing that is horrifying to me is when Reese puts on a clearly intoxicated homeless mans pants without so much as underwear for protection of "sensitive" areas. I think I may have nightmares about it! I enjoyed your reaction.

Lol the subscribe in the back got me a bit too😂

9:20 Far more information is available about you for free today than it was back then in a phone book. Also, back then a phone book was local, so only people in your own city could see our information: on the Internet, anyone anywhere in the world can see your information. Finally, you could opt out of being listed in the phone book, but you don't have that option with the Internet.

Real special effects when done well are far and away better than CGI.

My favorite continuity error that I can never unsee is the 3 street addresses in the phone book are 1823, 2816 and 309 but when Arnie goes to the first Sarah's house the address on the house is 14239

The reason the information that used to be in the phone book is no longer available has absolutely nothing to do with safety. It's just that the internet allowed that info to be monetized.

In the first scenes 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.

9:25 Well, we have Google Maps now where anyone can look at our houses and its surroundings. We also have social media where we post our personal lives for everyone to see. Any people from the '80s would be more freaked about this than the phone books.

Fun fact: While working on a different movie, James Cameron got severely ill. So much so, that he had a fever dream in which he was being chased by a metal skeleton. The final scene in The Terminator (as well as the design of the Terminator) was directly inspired by that fever dream.

Your ghost/twin sister scared the crap out of me! Good effect!

Everyone take a drink every time someone posts about what Sarah was thinking about in the picture.

The reason it took the Terminator so long to get to the motel was because he went all the way up to a cabin where Sarah told her mother to hide (in the deleted scenes). I'm guessing he was quite a few hours away.

One interesting note, when Reese was telling her about the picture he had of her, he said he always wondered what she was thinking of when it was taken. As it turns out, at the moment it was taken, she was actually thinking about Reese. Mind blown...

Oh no!! If his intestines were blue, it must have been cutting off circulation. Poor Bonjour.😥 Also, the face in the doorway at 00:22 scared the s**t out of me!😂

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.

From what i remember, Arnold had to stop filming for a while this film to go and shoot Conan the Destroyer, and he had to cut his hair for the long hair wig in this movie, so this change was incoporated into the Terminator script by having him lose half the lenght of his hair and his eyebrows when he ran through fire. I may be wrong though

The weirdo at the door was a nice touch. ❤

"Um, this is a Mcdonalds sir" lol!! That one got me..😂😂😂

Really like how you appreciate the practical effects in this film. Some young people laugh, but it's not just the era. With the budget of T2 this would be a perfect movie, but at least we were lucky to get two great movies, a scifi horror and a scifi action.

“Your moma” is such a great comeback in that situation XD

Terminator 2 is one of the best science fiction / action movies ever made. Watch it as soon as you can! Great reaction! Thanks for all your hard work!

They went animatronic for the eye because they wanted a moving red eye and a prosthetic couldn't do that. They still did a great job. There is a VFX channel that edited the eye prosthetic scenes so it could move. It definitely adds something special to it. It would have been wild to see in the 80s

Happy to hear your cat is doing better! Look forward to you watching the sequel. It's still one of my all-time favourite action movies.

29:02 "Yeah, like, what if they send another one?" They can't. Remember that Reese told the police psychologist that his was a one-way trip because John Connor's forces took control of the time travel equipment and were destroying it right after Reese went through. Of course, this assumes that they were successful, that the machines hadn't built a back-up facility, and that the machines didn't retain the knowledge to build more if they wanted too.

Not gonna lie, when you peeked through the door for the like and subscribe thing, it really creeped me out! 😂

Arnold Swarzenegger movies 1984 THE TERMINATOR,1985 COMMANDO,1986 RAW DEAL,1987 PREDATOR,1988 RED HEAT.

"I'll be back." was the better choice, seeing as it's pretty much Arnie's signature catch phrase from various movies.

"He's gonna die in that underwear." And I can't stop laughing now. 🤣

"Is this a horror movie?" I think of it as a monster movie, like Frankenstein or Jaws.

Background subscribe Amanda really got me 🤣🤣

This is peak James Cameron. Of all his movies, this and Aliens are the absolute best.

It was only his heart!

I appreciate the scares. I don't get scared by TV shows, movies, or video games. You actually freaked me out. Your scares are so unexpected and surreal. Very fun 😁

"He's going down too." Pretty sure he already went down earlier. 😁🤣 You could opt out of phone book listings back then, or even just opt out from having an address posted.

You were given bad information. There are only 2 terminator movies.

Amanda there are six terminator movies and please don't skip the rest of them because you will enjoy all of them.

Great reaction to this 80s sci-fi/horror/action classic Amanda....I highly recommend you watching 'Terminator 2: Judgement Day' next. It is just as good in my opinion. (I suggest you watch the theatrical version of that movie first, because that is the version everyone saw in theaters when it came out in 1991...later on, if you're interested, feel free to check out the special edition and/or the extended cut to see what deleted, kept in and/or changed).

My cat had the same thing happen to her , except it was a ribbon . You forgot to mention how expensive the surgery is .

Poor kitty. My puppy ate a length of packing twine while we were moving to a new house and it got lodged in her colon. Thankfully, the vet was able to remove it without invasive surgery. Meanwhile, my puppy thought she just had the most cleansing poo of her life thus far.

You are a breath of fresh air on this here KZfaq. Thanks for all of your great content. This is one of those movies that if you run across while channel surfing you have to stop and watch.

10:26 - You have no idea how terrifying that was lol...

I am loving the spooky "Amanda peeks" behind the door!! It actually got me twice! =X=D I'm like, WHAT?! Cute, Amanda! And very creative! =;-)

I know strings are poison for cats. Three months ago, I caught one of my two new kittens swallowing a string. I immediately stopped her, pulled it back out, and then gave her a stern talking-to. It must've worked. She hasn't tried anything like that again. If cats like you, they won't generally do things that upset you.

I love your sense of humor! Looking forward to the sequal; it's one of the best movies ever made

lol love the photo bomb.

Phone book addresses were optional in my area. People chose if their address was included. Probably in safer neighborhoods more people included their address. Stalking either wasn't as big a problem, or it people didn't think it was as big a problem.

the mysterious peaking face to 'Subscribe'

look out! someone is behind you!

I've seen dozens of reactions to this, but I really enjoyed yours. I first saw this in a movie theater in 1984. I'm going to go through your catalog and watch more of your reactions. You didn't ask, but just for the record, the following are some of the greatest movies ever made. To me, not one is less than exceptional: "Alien," "Aliens," "Annie Hall," "Body Heat," "Contact," "The Day the Earth Stood Still" (1951 NOT the 2008 remake), “The Dead Zone,” "Deja Vu," “Enemy Mine,” “Fahrenheit 451,” "Fast Times at Ridgemont High," "Forbidden Planet," "Frequency," "Gandhi," "Ghost," "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly," "Good Will Hunting," "The Green Mile," "Highlander," "It Happened One Night," "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance," “The Man on the Flying Trapeze” (only 65 min.), "The Matrix," "Miracle on 34th Street (1947 NOT the remake)," "Mississippi Burning," "North by Northwest," "Once Upon a Time in the West," "The Pink Panther," "Psycho," "Rear Window," "The Right Stuff," "Rio Bravo," "Some Like it Hot," "Stalag 17," "The Thing," "The Time Machine (1960 version)," "Topper," "2001: A Space Odyssey (hard to understand without reading the book)," "Vertigo," "Zero Dark Thirty," "Zodiac"

Glad your cat is ok!

Driving from Big Bear to Los Angeles is quite a drive, considering Big Bear is up in the mountains and still has to drive on a mountain freeway to get to LA. I reside in between Big Bear and Los Angeles in a city of Victorville.

Oh your lovely little kitty, I'm so happy she's better now! 💗 It must have been so scary.

You peaking thru the door in the intro was crazy lol. Your intros are always hilarious.

Oh my goodness! You, slowly creeping in to remind anyone new to subscribe... genuinely made me jump. You know when you see something move unexpectedly in your peripheral vision, it makes your heart pound? BRILLIANT, but it scared me. I'm laughing at how much it made me jump. Please, Amanda; never change.

Fantastic reaction as always! Love your sense of humor! Had me laughing a couple of times there. "He's going to die in that underwear?" LOL! Other great gems of wisecracking as well. I look forward to seeing your reaction to the sequels. Also, loved seeing your twin check in on you a couple of times. Now, if you could just arrange it so you and your twin have time to watch the movie together that would be awesome! 😉

Gosh that 80s electric soundtrack tho. Honestly this movie and the flash forwards to the machine war are just like the Second Renaissance story from the Animatrix, the backstory to the Matrix.

Arnold says, "I'll be back." in at least three movies.

In the early 1980s, nuclear war was on everyone’s mind .. so it happening in the film’s time frame wasn’t that “far out”. Fears of “AI” had been around since Kubrick’s 1968 film “2001: A Space Odyssey”. All of them could have been dated a bit more in the future.. This and Conan the Destroyer were Arnold’s first big roles as they didn’t require much speaking. Thinner leading actors were considered as the Terminator T-800 was supposed to be an “infiltration unit” but the physique marketed as an imposing robot won out. In the opening scene, the Terminator rips the heart out of the punk’s body if anyone hasn’t commented on it.

I love the fact that you can actually appreciate the practical effects in these older movies Amanda sadly we may never see this level of talent again.Love your reactions by the way.

Years ago my cat swallowed a piece of plastic. She tried to cough it up but couldn't. At the time I was out of work and couldn't afford an operation for her. I was given fluid to inject in her because she couldn't eat. After a couple of weeks she finally coughed up the piece of plastic but she died later that day.

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

I'm glad your cat came through that ok.

'What if Reese is John's dad? Is that possible?' Biology: hold my beer.

I always found that Skynet thinking a thick Austrian accent as normal hilarious in a convincing way lol

Glad your cat is okay! Hell, I don't think I'd be okay eating that thing, for a cat that must have been kinda scary.

36:25 It was so funny how, toward the end, you were, like, "Okay, it's definitely dead now. Oops! Nope!" And then, at the very end, James Cameron had finally trained you: "It's gonna move." 🤣

"This is like the Bible but on asteroids" has now been permanently stored in my memory. Thank you. Made my day. Enjoyed your reaction. Your channel is fun. Of course, you'll need to at least see the sequel, one of the FEW sequels that match the original for quality.

17:55 The machines made the Terminators to infiltrate the humans' circles, that's why Terminators resemble a person.

The sequel is, in my humble opinion, one of the greatest films in cinematic history! There's a theatrical version and a director's cut. And while the director's cut has many good scenes added in I personally feel like the original ending of the theatrical version is far better. But whichever one you choose I look forward to seeing you experience it together with us! 😊

The beginning of the movie had a blue spiky hair Punk. This actor was Bill Paxton the only actor that was killed by Alien, the Predator, and The Terminator.

10:29 Okay so the reactions so far JEEZUS CHRIST THAT THING IN THE BACKGROUND IS CREEPY! But Im already subbed, so Im good. LOL good one Amanda, that edit nearly creeped me out!

When it comes to stop-motion Ray Harryhausen's effects created some real movie magic. Favorites would be e.g. Jason and the Argonauts (1963) or One Million Years B.C. (1966).

Greetings from Finland girl!!! Great reaction and cannot wait to see your reaction to Terminator 2 judgment day!!! "i'll be back" 😎

One of my favourite films of all time, I was born in the 80's and my parents owned a video store which we lived above so I would sneak down and watch all the new movies, what a time...

As the great John Pinette said about shaving his eyebrows and entering the public; "People don't know what is wrong--but something isn't right, and we'll take the next elevator."

Why did the terminator lose his eyebrows and get a funky wig? Recall that Reese blew up a car, presumably by shooting out its fuel tank with his shotgun. The terminator ran through the fire to jump onto the hood Reese and Sarah's car. You could see his eyebrows were missing as he punched through the windshield. Why did it take so long for the Terminator to catch up to Reese and Sarah in the hotel? The clue is in the area codes for the telephone. In the movie, as the police lieutenant showed Sarah the couch, he mentioned her mother is coming from Big Bear, which is about a 3-hour drive east of Los Angeles. At the Tiki Motel, Sarah gives a phone number in the 408 area code. In 1984, the Los Angeles area code was 213, Big Bear was 714, and San Jose was 408. From personal experience, San Jose is about a 6 hour drive from Los Angeles. Direct from Big Bear to San Jose is about 7 hours, according to Google. So the reason it took so long is because the Terminator had to drive all night. This is confirmed by the shot showing it riding the motorcycle in the dark, followed by it arriving at the motel during daylight. The Terminator franchise consists of something like 6 movies and a TV series. Each installment develops different characters. And it also becomes clear that time travel becomes a significant part of the story. In the original movie, it uses the bootstrap paradox, where the future has a causal effect on the past. Starting with T-2, they exploit the grandfather paradox, where a time traveller changes the (future) present by altering the past. All of the later installments have a weird interplay between these paradoxes, which inevitably leads to inconsistencies between them, while keeping generally to the theme of Skynet obliterating the humans in the future. If you can appreciate this as an important part of the story, then congratulations, you're a member of the cult following and you will enjoy the rest of the franchise. Be aware that T-2 has two editions: The theatrical cut, and the director's cut. Both have merit. But the director's cut was intended to basically end the franchise and it is the best and last choice if the paradoxes mess with your head too much. T-3 is a continuation of the theatrical cut of T-2, and it would seem more like a reboot if you watch the director's cut of T-2. T-4 is a continuation of T-3. T-5, T-6, and the TV series all tell self-consistent stories, but they essentially reboot the franchise after T-2. Also be aware that T-2 is the best sequel movie ever, and it's head and shoulders above the rest of the franchise. If you enjoy movies that tell stories around these paradoxes, consider watching "Timecop". They are really front and center in that movie. It also has some iconic scenes featuring Jean-Claude van Damme.

I remember the white pages and yellow pages. Never used a phone booth

1:43 If you think that’s gross… my dog did that and pooped it out but it got stuck and she was running round the garden with it trailing behind her like a string of sausages 🤦‍♂️

great reaction, looking out for your Terminator 2 post :D

Love your top, its super cute. Looking forward to Terminator 2

Glad your cat is ok, Can't wait for your T2 reaction! 😮

That was a great reaction Amanda! And yes, I think The TERMINATOR still holds it's own, despite the practical effects! The story alone is awesome, and we're not too far from seeing this really happen. And the part when, I believe your Mom, sticks her head in the door and tells us to subscribe and your camera adjustment at 28:30 of the video was hilarious! Lol 😆 I'm always looking forward to your next movie and can't wait to see your T2 reaction. 🎥🍿😉
