When he’s telling Sarah about the photo, Reese says he always wondered what she was thinking about when it was taken. Turns out, she was thinking about him.

Reese, the white detective, and the punk with the blue spiked hair were all in Aliens.

"I want to be Sarah for Halloween." Not yet. You want to be Sarah from Terminator 2.

Arnie lost his eyebrows and the slight wave in his hair when he went through the fire of the exploding car. In the late 90’s I entered my sculptures in a few conventions in California. There I was lucky enough to meet and briefly hang out with John Rosengrant, Oscar award winning member of ILM. He worked with the SFX crew on Terminator. He won top awards in that convention with a large scale bust of Arnold Schwarzenegger. It was beautifully sculpted and lifelike, capturing Arnie’s personality. BUT if you turn Arnie’s face around, the other half of his face had been ripped open, revealing the terminator underneath. It was an incredible work of art. Beautiful and terrifying. Linda Hamilton will blow you away as Sarah Connor again in Terminator 2: Judgement Day!

Michael Biehn, who played Reese, was in quite a bit. He played Hicks in Aliens, Johnny Ringo in Tombstone, Lt. Coffey in The Abyss, he was also in The Rock, The Seventh Sign, Jade, Navy Seals, Planet Terror and others. He was also in a couple of Tv shows, some as guests, some as characters. He was in The Mandalorian for an episode, too. Biehn was a very under appreciated actor, he was really good in everything he did. He still works, and is in contact with Cameron, and Cameron loves using the actors he likes, so I would be surprised if we do not see him again.

“I wanna be Sarah for halloween” Wait till you see her in T2

After seeing Abby's reaction to the Terminator repairing his arm, I KNEW her reaction to the eyeball scene would be priceless . . . and it was!

More Michael Biehn for Abby: "Aliens" (1986) "The Abyss" (1989) "Tombstone" (1993) "The Rock" (1996)

"not for about 40 years" then you realize that it's been 40 years since this movie came out.

The transformation of your faces, from “he’s cutting his face open, OMG NO” to “oh, cool, there’s the robot eye there” is a perfect portrait of the perfect reaction to the scene.

9:37 The music composer explained that the 4-beat percussion was meant to represent the Terminator's mechanical "heartbeat."

Sarah's actress Linda Hamilton, Kyle's actor Michael Biehn and writer/director James Cameron were all unknown when they made this low budget flick. This movie jumpstarted their careers to high heavens - especially for Cameron.

"Rat Burger." Abby really does need to watch "Demolition Man." It's a fun movie.

The scene where Sarah gives away her location over the answering machine encapsulates the main theme of the film- "Machines will betray us."

To answer Abby's question about Linda Hamilton - She was on a fairly big TV show in the 80s, Beauty and the Beast with Ron Perlman, and a few movies here and there but nothing as big as Terminator or T2.

Bill Paxton. The only actor to be killed by a Terminator, Predator and an alien

When Kyle says, "I used to always wonder what you were thinking at that moment." - Sarah was thinking about Kyle. She was making a recording for John and was talking about Kyle at the very moment the photo was snapped. It seems to me most people miss that detail. It's not critical, but it's sweet.

"This is so 80s, right here." Yeah, and that's a GOOD thing! lol

3:07 you asked, that's Michael Biehn. Also known for Aliens, The Abyss, Tombstone, Planet Terror, more great films.

The Terminator's eyebrows were burned 🔥 off from the explosion just prior to his punching 👊 through the windshield to grab Sarah Connor. I think this look makes him more intimidating, scary, and even eerie. Like he's not quite human. Almost like an unstoppable Frankenstein monster! -OG

His eyebrows burned off when he jumped through the fire when Reese shot the gas tank of that car in the alley.

Arnie has evolved through his acting history to where you'll appreciate "True Lies".

Makes you wonder how smart Skynet was. What if Sarah had an unlisted number? Would he have simply stopped after going through the phone book- mission accomplished? Or would Skynet have accounted for that and told him to go through the DMV records next just in case?

One of my favorite movies and a masterclass in efficiency. With a budget of 6.4 million (19 million today) it's incredible what James Cameron and crew were able to accomplish with this.

Linda Hamilton is mostly known for her roles in The Terminator, T-2 Judgment Day and Terminator Dark Fate although she was also in Dante's Peak and she also has a twin sister who was also in T-2 Judgment Day as well.

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....

5:53 "Abby.exe is not responding..." 😂😂😂😂😂

"I hope we meet John." The best John Connor is the one from the Sarah Connor Chronicles TV show. Well... after a while he is. He has a really good character arc growing up over the course of the show.

36:06 "He's got a lil' limp" needed the reply of "THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID."

Great reaction y’all. You were right the guy at the beginning was in Aliens and also Reece and one of the cops was Bishop from Aliens. James Cameron. 😊👏👏🥰

One of my favorite little things written into a movie is Kyle fell in love with her looking at the picture and said she looked sad and he wondered what she as thinking about and she was thinking about him. Beautifully well written.

Most people are going to say Bill Paxton and Lance Henriksen were also in Aliens, but most forget they were also in a sultry, Southern gothic horror movie about a band of traveling vampires called "Near Dark". It was directed by Kathryn Bigelow, the beloved and legendary female director known for creating very personal action films about young, conflicted men. She would go on to direct films like Hurt Locker, Zero Dark Thirty, Detroit, and the original Point Break with Keanu Reeves. She was the first female to win an Oscar for best director. Near Dark was one of her first films. It is a small budget, but fantastic little film that is still viewed as one of the best and sexiest vampire movies ever made.

The best line, which makes ALL of the sequels "Cannon" in the entire Franchise (it's Brilliant): Sarah "It's from the Future? You're from the Future?" Kyle "One POSSIBLE Future, I don't know tech stuff."

You two MUST watch Terminator 2 - or affectionately called "T2"!! You will LOVE it.

After this are five more films, a short lived TV series, a 3D theme park attraction, comics, graphic novels and videogames. Before his successful acting career, Arnold Schwarzenegger was a successful bodybuilder, businessman and entrepreneur

The "Acknowledgement to the works of Harlan Ellison" was added to the credits upon the VHS home release after Ellison did a plagiarism lawsuit against James Cameron. Ellison had a story decades earlier in the 50's about a soldier from the future. Had nothing to with robots or anything, but he felt that was enough to be plagiarism. As this was his first movie, Cameron wasn't the powerhouse he is today, so the studio said that if he fought the lawsuit and lost, they would not bail him out. He had no choice but to settle even though he was confident he would win, he just couldn't take the risk. The full terms of the settlement are still sealed, but that acknowledgement was part of it, and to this day James Cameron has nothing but hatred for Harlan Ellison, who passed in 2018 after losing much of his legacy after a 2006 groping incident on stage at the Hugo Awards.

Linda Hamilton was in most of the Terminator movies. She also starred in Dante's Peak. Michael Biehn was in The Abyss, The Rock, Aliens, and Tombstone. They both were in a lot of movies.

Customer: "Have you seen Demolition Man?" Door Dash: "There are no rat burgers available! Anywhere!" Looking forward to T2!!!

I always love you guys's reactions! Linda Hamilton who played Sara was in small roles and tv shows. She was actually in Beauty and the Beast the TV show which was directed by James Cameron. After The Terminator and T2, she didn't do much- she was married to James Cameron by then. Michael Beihn was in a lot of big budget films like Aliens and Tombstone, Planet Terror, The Rock, Grease and more.

Director Cameron was in a tiny scene in the Terminator too. When Sarah goes to use the payphone in the bar. After looking through the white pages telephone book. The creepy lookingguy directly behind her by the phone is James. They also got married, divorced and she got a truck load of cash.

Linda Hamilton was in T2 and a really good disaster movie called Dante’s Peak. Michael Biehn was in Aliens, The Abyss and boatload of other 80s - 90s action movies.

This movie cost $6.4 million dollars to make but brought in $78.3 million dollars which was big bucks back then. One of my all-time favorite movies of course there were several sequels the second being the best by far.

An ultimate classic. Follow it with 2, forget the rest.

The Toy-manator says "Abby back" and Boo says "Yeah, right". I say "Rat Burgers". Great reaction, girls. More please. Like T2?

I was about 7 when I first watched this, back in the early 90’s. Good times.

Did you know that Arnold went into some diners and restaurants in his Terminator outfit and made lots of people scared?

That’s what makes it cool is the picture taken was Sarah thinking about Kyle in the picture. And he said that she had this sad look on her face when he told her that he gave her a picture once.

Late comment ladies. Up and coming guerilla filmmaker James Cameron decided to take matters into his own hands in making his films, his way by creating a new kind of cinematic myth. Prior to casting The Terminator; Schwarzenegger was a bodybuilding champion who became a movie star after Conan the Barbarian (1982), Linda Hamilton (Sarah Connor) appeared in Stephen King's Children of the Corn months earlier and Michael Biehn (Kyle Reese) had appeared in a theatre production of "Cat on A Hot Tin Roof". Very few resources that came together to make this happen. Low budget, small locations, short filming schedule and good 'state of the art' effects for it's time. It was all worth it as it became one of the best movies of the year. Highly iconic from the scenes of drama, suspense and action. Also some of the most memorable lines ever (I'll be back is unforgettable). The original score and Terminator main theme by Brad Fiedel is one of the best ever. By now, the franchise has been all over the place. Comics, video games, toys, a short-lived theme park attraction and much more. 40 years later. Amazing isn't it.

The pictures in the beginning of naked Arnold were blocked out in the cinematic release and earlier video tapes, but modern technology gives an, um, clearer picture.

Fabulous reaction and energy! 👍 John Connor had the ultimate responsibility, in addition to that little problem of saving mankind from extinction by AI machines, he had to set up his father with his mother. Looking forward to the Terminator 2 reaction video!!!

A Terminator 1st timer?? Let's gooooo! Great video; I can't wait to see more!

Yes, the actor who plays Kyle Reese, Michael Boehner is in several good movies including Aliens and Tombstone. You were also correct one of the characters who was killed in the opening of the movie was a young Bill Paxton.

Toy's squee at Reese confessing his love for Sarah is EVERYTHING!!! Also, nice Sylvester Stallone troll 🤪

Linda Hamilton was 28 when this was made. The character Sarah Conner was supposed to be 19 or 20 (according to the ID that the Terminator finds in her apartment). Arnold was 37 when this was made. Michael Biehn was also 28 when this was made.

Yes. The spiked blue-haired punk at the beginning of the Terminator film is played by Bill Paxton. He also played Colonial Marine Hudson in Aliens. He also played the hotshot detective cop in Predator 2. He's in a lot of films. Commando, True Lies, Twister, Edge of Tomorrow, etc. -OG

That was brilliant, believe me the way you two forced yourselves to watch was very much appreciated :) Yes Abby needs to watch Demolition Man.

40:02 "She's such a bad-ass", LOL wait till you see T2 ;)

Good call. That punk is Bill Paxton from Aliens, True Lies and Titanic. He was James Camerons best friend

19:06 Abby: "A machine driving a machine." Me: "In San Francisco, we call that Waymo."

The Terminator is an Infiltration unit (among other things) so they can mimic any voice they hear.

Your friend Abby's reaction was so great, totally unaffected by the usual cultural references. I think she only was familiar the 'I'll be Back' and not even sure of the context for that one! For all those in the comments that saw this at the cinema on release... "Hey that guy didn't pay!" You got me Burnin

So, now that you have enjoyed this, T2 will be even more enjoyable. It grossed about $520 mil in 1991, which was huge at the time & 3rd highest. It's hard to believe when you watch it, it was made back then.

I love the fake shocked look on your face when she said maybe John is the father and the maniacal one on your face when you said love wins they were both just perfect😂😂😂

Now you have to see Terminator 2: Judgment Day. The Terminator and T2 were the Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back for my generation. The Terminator is possibly the greatest "B-movie" ever made. By that i mean, it is the greatest low-budget sci-fi ever produced. Some of the effects stand out like a sore thumb. But The Terminator is still a great inspiration for future filmmakers. Cameron showed us what can be possible on a small budget and its freaking amazing. T2 on the other hand is the greatest action movie ever made. Cameron showed us whats possible once youve established yourself in the industry. And its freaking phenomenal. I mean, Linda Hamilton was so great in T2, she made Sarah Connor one of the greatest, strongest, most iconic female roles ever put on film. Her Sarah Connor is right up there with Cameron's own Ellen Ripley in Aliens and Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With The Wind.

Yes Linda Hamilton who played Sarah Connor has been in other things but Terminator was her first BIG movie. She's also back in Terminator 2: Judgement Day, and Terminator: Dark Fate.

17:40 "He's supposed to be 25?" Michael Biehn was 27 when this movie was filmed, so he was pretty close to his character's age.

People will recommend a bunch of well known movies Michael Biehn has been in like "Tombstone" and "The Abyss," but a lesser known favorite of mine is "Timebomb" (1991) in which he plays a highly skilled government assassin who has lost his memory thinks he's just a normal guy living a quiet life until he gets put on the news for saving a woman from a burning building which prompts his former associates to go after him.

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.

Rat burger. “I’ll be back,” is also Arnold’s line in The Running Man. The actor who plays Reese also plays Johnny Ringo in Tombstone. Reese was thinking about the photo of Sarah, and in the photo Sarah is thinking about Reese.

Rat Burger (She'll love it... the movie that is, not the burger) And thanks guys, fantastic as always!

The police officer that got his head hit on the car is actually Brad Fidel who made the musical score for this and Terminator 2.

The laser sight here was the first product of the company that became Surefire (the flashlight and gun accessory guys). It required a pretty hefty battery pack, though, that Arnold had mounted on his back, with a cable running along the sleeve.

If you watch Terminator 2, make sure it's the Theatrical Release.

Rabbitting is a term for a runner. When people ran from cops they used to use the term.

The fascinating thing is that this movie serie and the Matrix are connected through the author: In the Early eighties, Sophia Stewart wrote a copyrighted original epic science fiction book and script called The Third Eye Matrix. That body of work was later adapted to the screen as the Matrix and Terminator Movies Series and Trilogy😮

Good reaction to a very good low-budget movie, ladies. This was one of James Cameron's first movies, so the studio didn't give him much of a budget to work with...that's why the special effects and music look and sound so 'cheap' even by 1984 standards. However, movie--goers were more-so captivated by the clever storytelling. A great sci-fi and/or action movie does not necessarily need a $300 Million budget for special effects. Anyway, after the surprising commercial success of this movie, James Cameron basically commanded more of a budget for his following movies. 'Terminator 2' (T2) from 1991 was a big-budget movie with top-notch special effects at that time, along with a better musical score. You should definitely check out Terminator 2 (1991). Btw, the actress who plays Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) was married to director James Cameron.

How is it that when women watch this movie they figure out that Reece will be John's father right away, but guys don't figure it out until like 20 minutes after the movie is over. Terminator 2 is even better than the first!

The 2nd-in-command white cop was Lance Henriksen. He was originally chosen by James Cameron to be the Terminator, because the idea was to have a Terminator who could infiltrate society without attracting attention. Arnold talked James into casting HIM as the Terminator instead, so Lance got this minor role. He does get redemption as the android in the film "Aliens" :)

I had a 1977 Delta 88- They really did build them like tanks in those days, with the flying carpet ride, no air bags, and couldn't stop for shit.

This was slammed by the critics when it came out, when I went to the cinema I was blown away how good this was I was watching my back on the way out, in case I was going to be jumped on by a TERMINATOR, 60y0 me loved it still holds to this day

20:12 "this is Dr Silverman" I saw that subtle look lol

Trivia: The dog that Linda Hamilton has at the end was the same dog actor from the Tiki Motel earlier and James Cameron's real dog from the 80s

Toy melts my heart with her reaction to the love story between Kyle and Sarah. I guess this movie really does work on many levels besides a horror, sci-fi, and action movie. The idea of an unstoppable killing machine that can’t be bargained with or reasoned with, that doesn’t feel pity, remorse, fear, or pain, and won’t ever stop until it has eliminated the individual it has been programmed to terminate is really terrifying. I can see why The Terminator scared a lot of people back in the 1980s, and still does today given our advancements in technology and the rise of artificial intelligence. Believe it or not, Sylvester Stallone and Mel Gibson were considered for the role of the Terminator, but both turned it down. There was even consideration at one point for O.J. Simpson to play the Terminator. Orion Pictures wanted Arnold Schwarzenegger in the film thanks to his fame portraying the lead in Conan The Barbarian (1982). Ironically, Schwarzenegger was originally considered to play Kyle Reese, but James Cameron didn’t think he was right for the role. So instead, Arnold was cast as the Terminator which suited him much better given his massive muscular build. The actor playing the blue-haired punk was non-other than Bill Paxton. You might remember him from his role as Hudson in Aliens. He was also in Near Dark (1987), Predator 2 (1990), Tombstone (1993), True Lies (1994), Apollo 13 (1995), Twister (1996), and Titanic (1997). You’ll see that he collaborated with James Cameron in several other films. One of the police detectives is played by Lance Henriksen, who also went on to collaborate again with James Cameron in Aliens. He has had a very long and successful career, but his role as Bishop the android in Aliens is probably one of his most memorable. The actor playing Kyle Reese is Michael Biehn. He played the role of Dwayne Hicks in Aliens. He was also in The Abyss (1989), Navy SEALs (1990), Tombstone (1993), The Rock (1996), and Planet Terror (2007). The man will always hold a special place in our hearts for his part in Terminator and Aliens. Biehn impressed everyone with his audition as Reese. Most of the other actors who auditioned for the role tried portraying the character as tough and macho, while Biehn had more of a vulnerability about him and came across as more human in a way that connected with audiences. He did an amazing job portraying soldier traumatized by his experiences in a future post-apocalyptic war. It makes sense why he’s so skinny since I can’t imagine food being good or plentiful where he comes from. He also had great chemistry with Linda Hamilton who did an amazing job as Sarah Conner, who goes from an average young woman living a normal life, to a legendary badass. It’s amazing that a lot of people at the time thought that this would be a crappy B-Movie. It had a relatively low budget of $6.4 Million at the time, but it ended up defying all expectation. The Terminator became an iconic film that would spawn one of the greatest sequels ever made. You ladies are the reason why I love this channel. You definitely have to show Abby Demolition Man. I would love to see her reaction to the rat burger and the three seashells.

Thanks, you two. That was a lot of fun.❤️

Still blows my mind that there were 3 actors in this that later appeared in Aliens together. Toy with during the eye scene "Watch It, Woman!" LOL!!!

Abby has never seen Jaws? This absolutely needs to happen asap!

O come on these were state of the art special effects for that time lol

2:21 Yep, that is the late great Bill Paxton. I believe he is still the only actor to have had a character killed by a Terminator, a Xenomorph from the Alien franchise, and a Predator in the Predator franchise.

Reese - Aliens Spiked hair punk - Aliens Sarah - Titanic Plus a whole bunch more for all of them

In 1984 I went out for a few pints in London and decided to see this movie which had just been released> It blew my mind, as I'd been into Sci Fi since I was a kid and it was exactly what I'd always wanted to see.

Sarah's roommate, Ginger, was played by Bess Motta. She was probably the most popular of the instructors on "20 Minute Workout". In addition to the films, Terminator was also made into a television series (none of the film actors reprised their roles). The only actors I can remember from that series are Summer Glau, and (I don't remember her name) the lead singer for the band Garbage.

Linda Hamilton starred in the tv series Beauty and the Beast (1987-1990) written by George R.R. Martin of Game of Thrones fame. So, that's something else she was in you might like.

I always think it would be funny to get naked and run up to someone and say "What day is it...what year?!?!?!!". 😂

Arnold and director James Cameron were arguing about the line I'll be back. Cameron wanted Arnold to say I will be back, and Arnold said a cyborg wouldn't say that. He'd say, I'll be back. And I think we can all agree it was the right choice.

19:49 My theory on why he runs away is that he as a machine have no knowledge at this time what kind of threat humans in groups with weapons are (remember that he tried to buy some futuristic laser weapon at the store that didn't exist) plus that he is injured so he retreats to pursue the hunt later.

It's funny that audiences these days always figure out early on that Reese is the father. back in '84 there were many that didn;t pick up on that until the final scene, where Sarah says it outloud haha. There's no gettin' past y'all.

There’s a deleted scene where Sarah and Reese decide to try stop judgement day after Reese has an emotional breakdown at the world he’s seeing - by blowing up the factory responsible - Cyberdyne. That’s why the make all the bombs and make a relative bee-line for the robot factory. IMO that was essential and I am so glad I can watch it with that context. Ties well with T2.

9:27 Toy: "Heeey. She gonna RUN TO THE MOVIES." Toy is witty and charismatic.

“Is the terminator gonna bust in while they are doing it? No Reece is going to bust in her right now”. 😂
