FULL LENGTH REACTION IS AVAIL ON PATREON AT SECOND TIER .. www.patreon.com/MRLBOYD

Terminator 2 was even more of a benchmark movie for it's time than the first one. A must watch, and soon, while the characters and story is fresh in your mind.

RIP Earl Boen. He’s the criminal psychologist, among many other roles and credits. He died two days ago, January 5

Second one is even better

Imagine if he's the father... LMAO

Re: the obvious "rubber face" and the stop-motion robot near the end - this first movie was made for only a little over 6 million dollars (equal to about 17 million today). Not a microbudget, but also really small when it comes to creating top-tier special effects. Happily the second movie got a MASSIVELY bigger budget, and so they were able to make everything look exponentially more convincing.

As far as the automatic weapons go, this would've been before the 1986 closing of the machine gun registry, so while machine guns would've still required a tax stamp, semi auto guns would've been easier to convert to full auto, and the Terminator would've had advanced knowledge of how to work with guns. I think he got normal guns at the store, and then tinkered with them to best suit his demands after the fact.

At the beginning, Reese tells Sarah that the Terminator is a "Cyberdyne Systems Model 101", and at the end, the sign outside the factory said . . . "Cyberdyne Systems". So the story is a double paradox.

Great reaction, man. I highly recommend checking out Terminator 2 as well. It improves upon the first one is almost every way. The other sequels... can be skipped entirely, IMO. lol

Speaking only 17 lines in the entire movie, Arnie was paid only $75,000 for starring in this movie. This adds up to over $4,400 per word.

Terminator 2 and Aliens are two of the best sequels of all time, I think you would love them both seeing how you love the originals.

FYI, tempered glass in car windows have always had an adhesive plastic lining to keep the shards from causing greater wounds.

To understand the 80's, you'd have to grow up in the 80's.

The explosive did more damage later because it was placed inside a gap in the exoskeleton. Similar to m80 held in closed fist vs hitting on exterior

The First Aid Kit came from the trunk of the car they pushed off the road. If you look closely, you see them take it The full sized Terminator Skeleton we see in the climax was made of steel and weighed roughly 800 lbs. Took 4 men to move it. This was actually kind of a big problem. It was a miscommunication with the props department. It was supposed to be made of something much lighter and painted chrome. This movie was rather low budget, and much of it was shot without permits. So it was often, get in, get their shot, split before the cops showed up. This was impossible to do with a prop you absolutely cannot move quickly with. They actually did get caught by the cops in one of the last scenes shot. So naturally, James Cameron lied his ass off, claiming they were just film students who didn't know they needed permits.

14:24 - the Terminator is covered in living tissue, it's only metal underneath. That's how it can time travel

Why, in 1984 would the writers assume that phone books would be phased out in the future?

gonna have to suggest terminator 2 judgement day. literally the perfect sequel. may be better than the first film.

Original budget for the first Terminator was $4 million raised to $6.4 million ($18.3 million in today's money). Special effects were affordable NOT state of the art. Terminator 2 budget was $100 million ($218.8 million today) with state of the art special effects.

1. Linda Hamilton ROCKED. She's really built in T2. 2. Lance Henriksen/Vukovich and Michael Biehn/Reese also played in Aliens as Bishop and Hicks respectively. 3. The late Bill Paxton is the only actor whose characters have died in The Terminator, Alien and Predator series. 4. If this weren't a movie the ammunition would not have been left on the counter in the gun shop. 5. Ginger's boyfriend Matt must be a lousy lay if she needs her music when they rock and roll. 6. It's cool how so many people freak out when the eye operation goes down 7. Cooler? Watching people overthink the situations.😎 That said, overthinking gets the gold star for finding out "Who's your daddy"😍😋 8. The movie you saw was Terminator II Judgement Day"

To make it make sense in correlation to our current era, they were both probably told before they left that a phone book would be the most convenient way to get the information they needed in the year they were going to.

Hell ya Teminator has an interesting lore around it. But we know we all here for T2 😂

Sarah knew which button to push because she accidentally activated the machines earlier

The 15-day wait on handguns was the Brady Bill, a law inspired by the man who was part of Ronald Reagan's bodyguard detail when John Hinkley attacked and was paralyzed. It has since sunset.

Something that becomes more apparent as the series progresses is that the depiction of 2029 is one possible future. As is always the case in time travel movies, there is the paradox of influencing the past.

"I'll be back." I highly recommend watching the extended version of Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991) with the definitive ending. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that version and adds context that was originally taken out, anyone that says otherwise is pushing an agenda. Fun Fact: One afternoon during a break in filming, Arnold Schwarzenegger went into a restaurant in downtown L.A. to get some lunch and realized all too late that he was still in Terminator makeup - with a missing eye, exposed jawbone and burned flesh. Juice Dodged Fact: O.J. Simpson was considered for the Terminator, but the producers feared he was "too nice" to be taken seriously as a cold-blooded killer. Ironic. Director Cameo Fact: Near the beginning of the movie, when Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) receives a message on her answering machine breaking her date, the voice on the machine is James Cameron's.

That guy who played the psychiatrist just died. He was in a bunch of stuff. 🙏🏼

Green = Go. Red = Stop. It's a pretty universal code dude.

23:53 It's the big button that says "CRUSH" XD

Hard to believe: The Terminator was actually a "low budget production" that only cost about 8.5 mio $. The followup cost more then 10x as much.

The scene where Arnie is on the front of the car while it's reversing is actually filmed on a motionless car and everything else is moving past the car. They created a fake alley to slide past the car.

To answer your questions. They could have been told/programmed with the knowledge of how to navigate the the 1980s. Phone books, ect... The bomb worked because it was inside the terminator, that is a force multiplier, as opposed to just pushing the metal back you are now pushing it apart and also attacking the smaller join pieces As for the first aid kit, it was one of two things Reese took out of the trunk and he supposedly got at some point before finding Sarah while getting guns and everything else, which makes sense..

She knew which button to push to crush the T-800 because if you remember earlier, she set the press off, and remembered which button she hit to set it off. Her doing that is why the T-800 found her and Kyle in the factory.

Q: "where did the first aid kit come from?" A: Prison pocket

Home security cams in the '80s...? Remember the time period. No cell phones, no internet..

Second is the best and is one if the rare occasion where a sequel is better than the original

R.I.P., Dr. Silberman (Earl Bowen). He passed away two days ago.

T2 is one of the top action movies of all time.

I love your reaction but in real life, I would not be able to watch a movie with you, you would drive me nuts!🤣🤣

She pushed the button that says "START" or "RUN" And as you were gassing about the Jeep, you missed the fact that the picture the boy took is the one Kyle Reese had in the future (the one that burned in his PTSD dream flashback).

This movie was made before we could conceive of the internet and cell phones. This was the way. To use another method to try and find her, would literally be creating that method.

The difference between living then and now is you had to let your imagination work, now everyone is more cynecal and doesn't even allow the imaginative part of the brain to work. That is the humor in watching these younger reactions for me. The story itself and the characters where more interesting than trying to point holes in everything we saw on the screen. IT A MOVIE, not a docuseries on evading AI. Good reaction none the less.

You make me feel old. I still order a phone book every year from the telephone company. Sometimes it’s good to have on hand. Terminator 2 is a pinnacle in film sequels. It’s great. Watch it.

The first aid kit was taken from the car that ran out of gas. He never hit the terminator with the bombs.. they were close, but he never hit him. Great reaction. Thank you. 😊

You know what’s helpful, when it comes to not being tripped out, when you watch an older movie? Watch more older movies. Just because you weren’t around for something, doesn’t, or shouldn’t, invalidate it

T2 extended version with theatrical ending please. The alternate ending on the director's cut is so wrong it hurts.

T2: Judgement Day is the definitive Terminator movie. One of the first to use "Morph" effects (early CGI) it's a must follow up to this.

you should watch T2. It's probably in the top 5 action movies ever made.

You have to watch the second one. It is one of the few sequels that is actually better than the first movie.

She knew which button to push because she accidentally hit it early in the scene when they were hiding.

I find it funny that Sarah asked Reese "Do I look like the Mother of the Future?". Looking back at this scene I'm thinking "Yeah give it another couple of hours and Reese will help you out" LOL. Technically speaking any women who gives birth or raises children is a Mother of the Future.

Mr. Boyd seems to think people in the future will not know how to study history to discover how to find people in a previous time...

22:45...Cartoons (Daffy Duck) back then always said, "NOT THE RED ONE!! U NEVER PUSH THE RED ONE!!" LOL \O>

I chalk up the explosives "not working" before because of bad timing. Some were exploding behind the Terminator, some in front, but no direct hits. I'm assuming the are mostly a concussive blast, not very good after a short range.

T2 is one of the best action movies ever in my opinion so good things ahead for you sir, but T1 is definitely the place to start from 🍻

23:45, In the novelization for Terminator it's explained that Sarah does tell John who Kyle Reese is. When John comes to power he finds Kyle and assigns him to a unit close to him so he is more or less safe. John never discloses to Kyle their familial relationship. However, right before Kyle is sent back in time John comes into the room where he is being prepped. He makes Kyle recite the speech that he will later give to Sarah in the tunnel until he knows it verbatim. John then stands and looks at Kyle for a beat and embraces him fiercely. John Connor is a very charismatic but stoic military leader so this is totally out of character for him. Then before Kyle can really say anything Connor walks out of the room. Later after Kyle is sent back to 1984, one of military advisors asks "Sir what happens once he gets back to 1984". John tells the assembled soldiers and technicians that Sgt. Reese completed his mission in safeguarding his mother's life and dies in the process. Everyone goes quiet and the advisor says "Reese was a good soldier" It is at this moment that John Connor breaks into tears and tells his men "Yes and he was also my father". I really wish they had filmed that scene and put it somewhere in the movie series.

Bill Paxton. Punk in beginning

First aid kit came from the car they stole.

About knowing the Phone book, and driving cars and other things: They were surely given that knowledge before going back through time! Most likely Technology and computers were even more advanced in 2029, to know the history of the 80s, My guy.

SAC/NORAD SAC- Strategic Air Command, USAF NORAD- North American Air Defense Command (US/Canada Radar/Satellite Surveillance)

The idea for the Matrix is from 1995 anime, Ghost in the Shell :)

I think this was Arnold's 3rd or 4th movie at this point. I think his first was a ridiculous film called Hercules in New York then Conan the Barbarian(great film) then this one.

In 1982 we didn't have the internet or Google so it would make perfect sence that in this world phone books still exist in 2029

2:52 there’s this thing they put on car windows. It’s called tint. It’s a film. If you break a window with tint, some of it still sticks. You might have seen it in a few stores if you’ve ever been in the automotive department.

He didn't speak a ton of English when he made this, but was pretty fluent, Conan was his first (Hollywood) film and he barely spoke any at the time. Its after this movie that is vocal performances became normal for him.

The Loud Guys, a reaction channel out of India, summed up the plot thusly: "They're fighting over her vagina!". Interesting choice of words, but accurate. Re: the phone book, Skynet would've known about the existence of phone books in the past and would have programmed the Terminator with that information. John Connor would've briefed Kyle about it as well.

Since the Terminator is also made of organic materials, he can go trough the time portal. There arent phone books any more but theres a thing called learning. Maybe they learned about the past before going there.

3:43, I'm a firearms buff and I notice that none of the guns have lock on the triggers. I guess times were different back in 1984.

Fun fact: during pre-production, James Cameron was going around saying he was ripping off stories written by Harlan Ellison, which is exactly what this is. Rather than being the product of an overseas fever dream, the plot is taken from “Soldier from Tomorrow.” However, he lends style, heart, and humor in a way uniquely his. So there’s that. Also they got the first aid kit from their getaway car before rolling it off the road. 🙂

In California you wouldn't be able to take it right then. You'd have to wait even with the license. It's even worse now than back in the 80s. You could still purchase fully automatic weapons when this movie was made.

Earl Boen, the actor that played the doctor, died recently.

T2 is definately a must watch

About the phone book, I feel like if you go back in time you do your research and plan do as they do in 1985.

Terminator 2: Judgement Day. Watch it quickly, while the first one is fresh in your mind. One of the best action flicks of all time. Do it.

4:32 yes if you’re a supercomputer network or someone who received direct instructions from somebody who grew up in the 80s you would know to look at a phone book.

Saw many Porsche 924s in trailer parks during the '80s...

The Sarah Conner Chronicles tv show is worth a watch as it links films 1 &2.

The guy who played the psychologist passed away a few days ago.

THIS IS THE PREQUEL TO THE MATRIX

You are a victim of your time and experiences. At the time of this film you could buy many more guns in Cali than you can now. Full auto was easier and cheaper to obtain. And many of the behaviors you think are odd or unsafe at a gun store were fairly common. Most people didn't have any sort of training, nor were they licenced in any way. It was a different time.

2:24... Not special effects bruh, people actually walked around like that back then lol, hair spray, Aqua Net lol, they did that to their bangs a few years later too!^^ \O>

He knows about phones books because he was briefed on that time period and on what he needed to do. If I’m being sent back to 1900, I know not to be looking for a taxi cab, or a TV set

For the sake of both emphasis and redundancy. Terminator 2 is a must see. Believe the hype.

Bought my first handgun in '99 and had a 15 day waiting period. Background checks are a lot faster now.

How did Kyle get into Tech Noir without paying the cover charge?

It would be illegal for an 80s gunshop to offer him an Uzi. Certainly not no waiting period. It's an NFA item... one of the most heavily regulated items that's still technically legal. We're talking up to a year waiting to get your ATF paperwork back, after you hsve an extensively in depth background check, and even then they track you essentially forever.

You do not have to worry about contradictions or Canon issues across this property.... Terminator Is a time travel Franchise. Everything coexists, movies, comics, TV shows, novels, games. The time line looks like a hairball coughed up by the Cheshire cat.

Although Terminator and Alien are excellent movies, Terminator 2 and Aliens dont just prove sequels can be as good as the originals. But exceed them. These exceptions are, of course, two of the best movies ever though

"15 day wait on the handguns" >>>in California>in 1984

phone books are not that ancient man. And as a robot, he would have been programed with various data points regarding the era he was traveling too, including phonebooks which are just analog human directories.

Why does someone from the future knowing about phone books seem odd to you? It’s history to them. Don’t you know about how things worked 50 years ago?

RIP Dr. Silverman

T2 is a must! You can pretty much stop after that. The franchise clearly peaks there.

T2 is one of the best movies ever

Terminator 2 is the stand out movie of the pack.

Terminator 2, Alien and Blade runner are the best "old" movies.

In the 80s, yes you could get an uzi in California. You just don't get it from the store.

The first aid kit probably came from the car. First aid kits in cars were a thing at one point.

well she did pressed the button in the scene before (by accident)

Yeah, the industrial factory scenes in both this and the sequel are highly inaccurate, like they are in most movies. I worked in a factory keeping automated machinery like this running for over 16 years. Sarah knowing exactly which button to push was only the tip of the iceberg. The most ridiculous thing in this and other movies is the whole trope on how you can push one button or power up one breaker and the whole operation starts up. That would be an OSHA nightmare. Even if the workers leaving had just disconnected the main breaker instead of properly shutting down each station individually, restoring the power wouldn't just start everything back up. Does your TV come on or your microwave start cooking as soon as you plug it into the outlet? Industrial machinery has even more elaborate start up routines and safety interlocks to prevent accidental start up and cycling. Entertaining, yes. Accurate, NO.!
