Part 2 is a must.

My favorite part is that Kyle fell in love with a picture of Sarah taken when she was thinking of how much she loved him.

"I guess since you've already had sex, he can die." I snorted at that with coffee in my mouth. 😂

20:35 there's a deleted scene where Reese breaks down a bit and says he wasn't meant to see the pre-apocalypse world and how beautiful everything is

"You did good uterus." 🤣😂🤣

The evolution of Sarah Conner from t1 to t2 is incredible.

When Kyle Reese first appeared in the alley in 1984, his stunt double had to fall about 7 or 8 feet from an elevated platform while on his side falling right onto the concrete cement. Actor Michael Biehn (Reese) was astounded at the bravery of his stunt double.

"A movie was $4.50???" Nah. The average price of a movie ticket in 1984 was $3.36. As for the self-surgery scene in the hotel room, they did indeed use an animatronic Arnold-head for several of those shots. Good eye (pun intended)! If you haven't already looked it up, Mothballs are a repellant used to discourage the common clothes moth from flying into your closet/attic/wherever and laying eggs. The larvae eat a variety of animal-based fabrics, like silk, wool, felt, etc. Mothballs also became a slang-term for storing something away for later, or discontinuing it. One last thing. When Kyle mentions the photograph of Sarah that John had given him, he says that he always wondered what she was thinking in that moment. As we see at the end when the photo is taken, she was actually thinking about him. Fantastic reaction, as always. Can't wait for you to watch Terminator 2!

"He hasn't shot at anyone, so the police can't shoot at him, right?" Oh you absolute sweetheart

Arnold Schwarzenegger has starred in 3 James Cameron movies, and Bill Paxton has appeared in 4, appearing together in 2 of them - The Terminator, and hysterically in True Lies. Paxton also had a very tiny role in the movie Commando starring Arnold, bringing their total count of movies together to 3.

When you said, "There used to be 30 cops," I couldn't stop laughing!!!😂😂😂❤❤❤

"Sunglasses at Night" was a 1983 hit song by Canadian Music Hall of Famer Corey Hart.

24:16 "Is this where sunglasses at night became a trend?" *Corey Hart has entered the chat*

I had forgotten some of the little details, like the fact that Ahnuld doesn't have eyebrows after he was set on fire by the car exploding next to him. As for your idea of "getting rid of the people who created him"... that's an incredibly good idea. ;)

The cops were investigating an electrical disturbance, then saw some naked man stealing a homeless guy’s pants-The man ran then overpowered a cop. That seems self-explanatory enough for me.

“Give him a Reese’s pieces”😂😂

Arnold himself has said that they thought they had a good movie, but it was too niche for mainstream. They didn't dream it would hit it big like it did. This film was made on a budget even smaller than what TV movies usually get, even by 1984 dollars. Also: When Sarah accidently hits the switch on the crusher on the way in, she remembers, that's why she can hit it without really looking at it later. Great reaction, the first two Terminators are great movies.

The sequel is one of the best movies ever made. So excited if you react to that one!

5:30 "Okay. The most unrealistic thing about this is that he would know how to use one of these. Yeah, right. These things haven't been around in _forever."_ Oh. You mean the _payphone._ Well, let me point out, he's not using _that._ He's using the _phonebook._ Now it's been a while since those have been in print, but their operation is _incredibly_ straightforward. If you're literate and you know how to use something that classifies information _alphabetically,_ you can use one.

21:47 "We've got thirty cops in this building." In every military academy in the US, as well as those of several of our allies, Sun Tzu's _The Art of War_ is required reading. I've read it and I think you'd be well advised to read it as well. It will change the way you see _every_ movie that involves action, after that. One thing Sun Tzu observed is, "Know your enemy and know yourself and you need not fear the outcome of 1000 battles. Know yourself but _not_ your enemy and for every victory, you will suffer a defeat. Know neither your enemy nor yourself and you will succumb in _every_ confrontation." Basically, he emphasizes the importance of knowing the people one is _fighting._ The LAPD, in 1984, surpassed Reese in _every_ measurable way, but Reese was able to give the T800 a serious challenge when they _weren't,_ because he knew his enemy. He was realistic about what he was going _up_ against. They weren't. Reese understood that he faced a bullet-proof cyborg. The LAPD insisted on believing that they were going up against a bodybuilder on a roid-rage kick. If they had been realistic about this, the LAPD could've done a _lot_ more to protect Sarah from the T800. They could've just put her in a _safehouse,_ somewhere; some place almost none of them _knew_ about. And Reese, too, for good measure. That would not have _stopped_ the T800, but it would've thrown it off their trail.

I believe that Arnold's breakout role was "Hercules in New York" (1970), though I'm pretty sure what got him this job was his role in "Conan the Barbarian" (1982), two years before this. Conan showed that he actually could act ... at least a little. lol

31:08 "Now that you've had the sex... you can die" 😂😂😂 ICE COLD!

The scene with the Punks was filmed at Griffith Park Observatory. Big Buns was at Bob's Big Boy, now Carrow's in South Pasadena. The Gun Shop was in Van Nuys as was the Biker phone booth. "The Terminator" and "Sunglasses at Night" song were both released in 1984.

“Reese’s pieces?” Me sitting here with fingers crossed hoping she says Sarah “getting her some Reese’s Pieces.”

Father daughter bonding time with the Terminator at age 6 lol....sounds like my household! Parenting done right!

"come with me if you want to live" plays a big part in all the franchise 😊

“Thank you uterus!” 😂 Love her quips!

I love the "Dark Side" of Jax because she seems so innocent that it comes out of left field and always cracks me up.

We have 30 cops in this building, two minutes later, 29,28,27....0

"How is he supposed to call her if they don't have cell phones?" LOL OML.

3:29 Well, if I'm an officer and saw someone behind a dumpster pulling up his pants, best case scenario I'm gonna assume he took a dump in public and worst case scenario he SA-ed someone there. so definitely gonna investigate.

Rhys: "I always wondered what you were thinking about." Him. She was thinking about him. It comes full circle. Beautiful detail.

Ohhh, you picked a good one for today! That being said, this film is good... but Terminator 2: Judgement Day? That film is *legendary.* I can't wait for you to see that one, so I guess you could say... I'll be back.

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....

Girl, when I was growing up movies at the cheaper theater were 1$ each. And they had zero commercials or previews.

Mothballs; before synthetic fibers were more commonly used in clothes, most clothing was made with cotton. Some moth species would lay eggs in clothes stored for long periods of time. The large would eat the cotton fibers, destroying the clothes. Mothballs were a solid chemical about the size of a mini-muffin or child's marble, that would slowly turn into a vapor over time that would kill the moths. Part of the chemical in some mothballs could be refined and used in making explosives

Some fun facts: Bill Paxton is the only actor to be killed on-screen by a Terminator, a Predator and a Xenomorph Arnold doesn't have a "movie-specific" workout regime, but a whole-of-life one The line James Cameron wrote was "I'll be back" but Arnold said it didn't make sense for his Austrian heritage or accent. He asked for it to be changed to "I'll come back". Cameron refused, and the rest is iconic history

5:28 I am sure you worked out later that Kyle was told all about payphones and phone books by John Connor - who probably didn't know where Sarah was living then as he had not been born. The Terminator also could have been programmed with info abut 1984 - not entirely accurately, of course, as he asked for a plasma rifle

Minute 02:20 KZfaqr girl: "You have a cigar?!" (Me, just happening to smoke one of the three cohiba cigars that my uncle gave me yesterday) "Yes, i have a cigar, honey. Do you wanna taste it?" P. S. Usually i smoke tuscan cigars, i happened to be smoking a Cuban cigar just thanks to my uncle.

The Endo Skeleton (as it's called) seen at the end is geneius design - the eyes are infra red not just to look evil, but for night vision, you can see how it is powered to, by hydrollic cylinders in the limbs, arms & legs, moving up & down for some reason mirror chrome works as well despite something like this would probably look more like Steel if it existed, with far less sparkle

Terminator 2 is a must watch! My local theatre re-released in it on the big screen back in April. And it was absolutely incredible.

"Sunglasses At Night" And "I Can See Clearly" (almost) now the rain is gone.

"being afraid of a hand" oh man I knew instantly what scene she was talking about lol.

there's a few favorite things about this movie: You can kinda guess who the terminator is but it's not actually confirmed until the face off in the club scene and the subsequent terminator vision POV. The way the movie is written both reese and the terminator could be the terminator but the viewer doesn't have confirmation until the faceoff. James Cameron sold the rights to the project only if he was allowed to direct it. During production they used "guerilla filmmaking" and would quickly shot a scene and leave for the policy showed ups so they wouldn't have to wait for permits. Arnold practiced taking various guns apart and putting them back together, even blindfolded. The goal being he could operate a gun so well it would appear robotic.

"You did good uterus" 😂 that should be your code phrase

Arnold wanted to play Kyle Reese, but James Cameron thought he will be better suited for the role of the Terminator.

@0:46 This was one of Arnold’s first big movies, but it wasn’t his breakout role. That was in Conan the Barbarian (1982).

Younger generations: "Why is GenX so worried and afraid of AI and Robots!?" This, this is why. 😅

Lance Hendrickson (who played the skinny white cop) was originally going to be the Terminator and Arnold was slated to play Kyle... But that was scrapped quickly. Pretty cool.

Too young for Terminator at 5? My babysitter brought me with her and her friends to watch JAWS when I was 3... lol

"It can't be bargained with! It can't be reasoned with! It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead!" There are only two Terminator movies, no matter how many sequels they make. T2 is essential viewing. Stop there. And while the special edition cut is the best version, the extended cut seems to be the most prevalent, so if you can't find the special edition, go with the theatrical. The extended cut changed the ending. It's not as good as the original ending.

Regarding the sunglasses indoors "trend", I'm pretty sure black and white musicians were rocking that style WAY back in the dawn of blues-rock!

"I don't wanna look at it, but I'm doing it for you!" I'm pretty sure that's how the Me Too movement got started lmao

Sarah's roommate Ginger was played by Bess Motto of the 20 Min Workout.

Quick villain note - I had a mate who used to drive drunk (small town UK), and to make sure he didn't get caught he used to phone the police and report a disturbance in the next village over, they went to investigate, and he drove home with 8 pints inside him. Tut, tut.

0:06 "This is _technically_ not a first-time reaction, because I saw this movie when I was _six_ years old. Now, if you're thinking to yourself, 'That is way too young to watch this movie,' I am very aware." 😳Oh, you poor kid. Yeah. That's about how young _I_ was. It scared the _hell_ out of me. I had had _no_ idea it was in theaters. I had expressed no interest in _seeing_ it, but _my_ father saw the advertising for it and couldn't _bear_ the thought of seeing it by himself, and no one else wanted to go with him, so he took me. Now if you want to take your kid to a movie you can use for a _bonding_ experience, take 'em to a _kids_ movie. Why do you think they _make_ those?

Mothballs: Tiny little glands that male moths need to reproduce.

Bill Paxton is the only actor who has been killed by a Terminator, Xenomorph and Predator.

Sarah got stood up,can’t find a date and then comes a dude from the future who protects her and confessed his love for her, yea panties came off automatically 😂

"A Movie was $4.50 ?!? " When I was young we used to have $2 tuesdays. And I'm only 50.

12:00 "A movie was $4.50?" No. I paid $5.00 to see this in the theater in 1984. I was 17 and this was the first R-rated movie I ever saw in theaters because i finally had an ID that would let me get in. "Wait, this is a movie theater." Maybe. Once. In the past. Now it's a dance club. Nobody did THIS is any movie theater that was actually in the business of showing movies.

The chase scene in the factory, they are not really faster than the Terminator, it's heel is damaged, you can see it dragging one foot (limping). If fully functional, the Terminator can outrun a human.

Quick Timeline lesson: First, this is just one way of looking at time. But it makes sense, which elevates it above most time scenarios. When someone from the future goes back to the past, the future that they came from is immediately out of reach, because they are now creating a new future, based on them now existing in their (previous) past. Their previous present - our future - may or may not still exist. But nobody in our present can live in the time-traveler's future, including the time-traveler, because by going back, he or she is now creating a new future. However, that new future might be very similar to their original future, or it might be very different - or anything in between. And while the time-traveler might realize this new future is different, none of us will realize anything is different, because to us, time is unfolding as it should. Also, cars in the 80's - I believe - had what they called "bench seats", the joy of every girl and boy. Or at least the horny ones. It was a single seat across the car - a bench. Made swapping places a WHOLE lot easier. made snuggling a lot easier, too.

She in fact DOES know that Reece is following her, & after the killings have happened, she thinks it was him that commited the murders, the approach that Cameron used - thriller/Serial killer within the sci fi ganra was clever & worked. As it did in HALLOWEEN & WEST WORLD

It's like watching an older version of Addie Counts

FYI, the actor that got his throat ripped out in the beginning is the main villain in Cobra w Sylvester Stallone. Lots of iconic lines in that one.

Crazy how the movie that made Arnold a superstar was when he played a villain.

That sound and expression you made when Ahnold was about to stick a knife in his eye 😆 You are too adorable!

"WHY is James Cameron trying to give me nightmares?!" Best comment EVER to the second rising of the Terminator-skeleton. 😀

We had to wait 7 years for Terminator 2, but was worth the wait. A fantastic sequel. Definitely watch it.

The franchise covers a lot of the background story of John Connor. Unfortunately most people don't like anything after T2, but i enjoyed T3 and Salvation which covered Judgement Day and the introduction of Kyle Reese. FYI: older trucks had bench front seats, so it would have been possible to switch the way the did, sliding over and under each other.

"good job uterus" is gonna make me laugh all. dang. day lol

Fun Facts... Cyberdyne is a robotics company in Japan... Skynet is a Satellite defence system by the UK...

"Come with me if you want to live" remember that. Pass code activated.

My apologies for randomly commenting on past videos. I'm new to your channel and am slowing working my way backwards. The "You did good, Uterus" comment and your questions about time travel are actually pretty spot on observations that a lot of people miss. There's whole videos on the subject that get crazier and crazier the more movies you add in, but sticking with this original movie there's a theory that this is a 3rd timeline and two other timelines played out before this one. The theory summed up goes like this: Timeline 1: There's no time travel at all. Sarah is in no danger. Lives her life as a waitress. Some guy doesn't stand her up for a date. They fall in love. They have a kid. The nuclear war happens. This kid, who may or may not be named John, but is an entirely different person becomes the leader of the humans and defeats the machines. Timeline 2: That guy discovers the machines sent a Terminator back in time to kill him. With no time to spare he sends a solider named Kyle Reese to save him by saving his mom. This Kyle doesn't have a message. Never had a picture of her. She's a total stranger to him. He has no feelings for her. It takes longer for him to find her and cuts it closer than he did here. It takes them longer to trust each other, but things still more or less play out the same and he gets her pregnant with John before dying. Effectively erasing the original kid of Sarah who sent Kyle back in the first place. John becomes the leader and defeats the machines. They send a Terminator back in time again not knowing they've already tried this once before. Timeline 3 (this movie): John now knowing Kyle Reese is his father in advance and knowing the machines will send a Terminator back (and I'm sure there's a story of him trying to find the time machine before they could do that but failing) prepares Kyle by giving him information about his mother including what she looks like so that things will go more smoothly and likely hoping this will prevent Kyle from dying so he can grow up with both his parents and they can all try to stop things from happening in the first place. Only the first half of that ends up happening and now a slightly different John is about to be born to stop the machines. The moral of the story being: Sarah Connors Uterus is basically a cheat code that transcends time and space and is undefeated in any universe or timeline.

You remember a hand. Most people remember a couple other things. 😏🤭

when you watch Terminator 2 (one of the greatest sequels ever made) make sure its the extended directors cut cause they fix alot of the movie mistakes that the original had like obvious stunt doubles, inconsistent shots etc. and in my opinion is a better version cause it fills in some of the gaps

So after your T2 reaction popped up in my recomendation I actually laughed at the title and wondered if you had even seen the film or its prequel (this one). Then I saw this and watched. When the cops intitially chase Reese, you ask "Why? What did he do?" Seriously?! It's night. He's in an alley. He's half naked pulling up 'his' pants. Do I really need to list all the reasons the cops would want to check out what is going on? How about I just list the one I thought of if I was the one that encountered that situation. It begins with R and rhymes with grape. When the clerk in the gun store is killed you ask "why? As he was being so nice and helpful." The clerk was being anything but nice and helpful. The T-800 asks for what he really wants "A phased plasma rifle in the 40-watt range", the clerk cuts back with a smart alec comment "Hey just what you see pal", in a not nice tone. Important survival tip. If you are selling someone weapons and they start asking for future stuff that ain't been invented yet, you are either dealing with a murderous time travelling cyborg, and should run away as fast as possible. Or you are dealing with someone who isn't playing with a full deck, and should run away as fast as possible. The concept of travelling back in time and living a happy life is explored in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, a two season TV series. I highly recommend. Also Dr Silberman features and we see him after T1 and T2. Sarah follows your murder advice in T2. Really pay attention to Reese's interview with Silberman. It has franchise breaking details in there. Reese: You go naked. Something about the field generated by a living organism. Nothing dead will go! Silberman: But this cyborg? If its metal? Reese: Surrounded by living tissue! One bed for two is more than enough. Head out of gutter, please. They are in a survival situation. When one person is asleep the other should be awake. A mothball is a small round ball containing chemicals designed to repel moths and other insects. Sarah knows which button to press because she had pressed it earlier, which is what led the Terminator to them despite the jamming that Reese had put up. There are 6 Terminator films, and a 2 season TV series. I like 1, 4, SCC, 2, 3, 6 in that order and just set fire to 5. 1 was perfect. 4 ignored the whole time travel mess, which is why I rate it second. Sarah Connor Chronicles was very good, and even managed to make sense of the whole time travel mess in a way that felt very believable. 2 is where things start to go wrong. 3 tries to fix the massive plot hole created by two, and actually does a fairly decent job with out defecating over the franchise. 6 ignored everything but 1 & 2 and gave a good accounting for itself, despite treading the same tired time travel lines. And 5 is a mess, which is why I call it Genimess, I refuse to use its actual title. TIME TRAVEL simplified! When you tell a Reverse Temporal Relocation (RTR, stylised as rTr) story, your tale will fit into one of three types. rTr1: An rTr1 story is a closed loop story, also known as a causal loop story, or a predestination paradox story. The latter term is acurate, but I prefer not to use it in a symplified version, but am including it here for completeness. A closed loop story revolves around the idea that time is fixed and immutable. What has happened will always happen. These stories often have future elements leading to the very thing that the time traveller is trying to prevent, creating the closed loop. rTr2: An rTr2 story is a paradox story, sometimes know as a grandfather paradox story. The fact that rTr2 is a paradox story is why I prefer not to use predestination paradox in rTr1. Paradox stories revolve around an event that alters time, so time is no longer immutable, and for some reason the heroes avoid being caught up in the effects and then have to fix the issue. There is always some techno babble reason why the heroes are unaffected, which makes little or no reason. Then the heroes figure out the causal effect and put it right, resetting things to the correct timeline and everyone is happy, except all those who were in the new time line and now have to die. rTr3: An rTr3 are the most pointless time travel stories you can tell, because it really doesn't matter what happens. The basics of an rTr3 story is that there are multiple time lines and for every possible outcome there is a timeline that reflects that. Something such as asking someone to raise a hand can create dozens of possible time lines: They raise their right hand. They raise their left hand. They raise both hands. They raise no hands. They ask why? They start to raise one, stop lower it, and raise the other. On and on until you litterally run out of possibilities. When telling these sort of stories anything is possible, but it doesn't matter, because just a few timelines over the exact opposite of what you wanted to happen happens. You wanted good to win, yay good wins. But a few timelines over evil wins, oops. If your story relies on this idea you might as well not bother, because what is the point. You can let everything fall apart and know that all will be well a few timelines over. Now there is a reason I stylised RTR as rTr. Remove the Rs from the sequence and you get an example you can watch if you're a Terminator fan. T1 is a closed loop story. T2 is a paradox story. T3 is a multiple timeline story. T4 because it avoids time travel keeps faithful to everything that went before. T5 is a mess and invloves multiple timelines coming together in a mess of a story. T6 ignores T3, T4 and T5, and went back to basics, and remembered a fundametal element of T1. John Connor and Skynet are linked. You can't have one, without the other. That's the glaring paradox in T2. John is needed to defeat Skynet to have the first Terminator go back in time leading to the birth of Connor and the creation of Skynet. When John dies, there is no Skynet, and instead Legion rises in its place, because with out Connor to defeat Skynet it doesn't need to send anything back, although the presnece of Karl is still a paradox. Karl is a Skynet model, but Skynet doesn't exit, because John died removing the need to send back Terminators. Therefore despite claims that T3 is not included in T6, T6 is clearly a multiple timeline story.

"Kyle, noooo. Give him a Reese's Pieces, maybe it'll bring him back." absolutely slayed me 😆

It’s funny you mentioned Day of Future Past because when this movie came out all of us comics fans noticed immediately the similarities and we all knew (or felt) that James Cameron had stolen the story from Marvel. Whether that was actually the case, who knows for sure, but it’s very likely. The DOFP storyline (1981) was released 3 years before The Terminator (1984).

Bill Paxton has the distinction of being the only actor who has been killed by a terminator, an alien and a predator.

The movies in this franchise are: Terminator (1984) Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) Now, _some_ say this is where the list ends, but I adore the TV series and a few others so you should at least be made aware of the options: Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003) _TV Series - Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (2008-2009)_ Terminator Salvation (2009) _Terminator: Genisys (2015)_ Terminator: Dark Fate (2019) Mind you, these are not all "chronological" where one feeds into another. If you are going to do just one storyline it is 1-2-3-Salvation. The rest only need 1-2 to understand them.

Jax: "Invent a code word." Me: What's the code word? Person from the future: *Says the code word* Me: Sorry, that was the OLD code word.

I'll be Back. Best iconic line.

⚠️ What is so sad is that when Kyle was talking about the picture of Sarah, he mentions how sad she looked and always wondered what she was thinking about. Sarah was thinking about him.

This was the first of 4 films I remember seeing both Michael Biehn and Bill Paxton in together 2nd was Aliens, 3rd was Navy Seals, and 4th was Tombstone.

I love Paul Winfield. He was the black detective trying to save Sarah. In the late 90s he was the narrator of a police show on A&E called City Confidential. He made that show awesome. They would profile a city where a murder had taken place. It was just a neat concept and his great voice made it even better.

Can we get some thumbs for the legendary Stan Winston? A true master of special effects who worked on this movie, Aliens, Jurassic Park, Predator and so many more iconic films.

Hello Jax, great to see you!😊 Yeah, it is pretty much a first watch if you were just six years old.😉This was really James Cameron's big break. After this low budget film he was able to get big bucks from the studios for the blockbuster "Terminator 2: Judgement Day" (1991). Coincidentally, the song "Sunglasses at Night" came out the same year as this film, 1984.😉 Mothballs are white and the size of a ping pong balls. They are made with pesticides and deodorant. People used them to repel moths when storing clothing. They had no idea this was going to be a HUGE hit. There are six Terminator films, Jax. Great reactions to your first Terminator film as an adult!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏

Arnold had been in a few movies but the expert opinion at the time was that he would get nowhere as an actor because of his accent. He would have to look for niche roles. But T1 was a hit, and in most of his movies they just gloss over why he has an accent.

The story written by James Cameron it was too big to be one move so it was split into 2 movies. Also he had to wait several years before the CGI tech was advanced enough to shoot the 2nd movie the way it needed to be. There are like 6 or 7 terminator movies but there are ONLY TWO real movies. T1 and T2. T2 is maybe the greatest sequel ever and also one of the best Sci-Fi movies also. Many people think it is better than Terminator 1 but you need both. Enjoy.

The only thing I do not like about this channel, is that we only get one upload a week Actor is Bill Paxton

When I was a kid, untreated wool clothing would be found by moths and they would eat the wool. Mothballs contained a chemical that would repel moths and thus protect clothing. Tho I imagine Kyle wanted to use the balls for bombs.

6:04 the actor playing the gun shop owner also appears in both 'Gremlins' films as Mr. Futterman the snow-plow driver. 17:03 'very hard to spot' not if they all look like former Mr. Olympians 28:53 A mothball is a little round thing used to keep moths from laying their eggs in clothes being stored away, so their larvae don't eat the fabric. They contain some chemicals that are not otherwise commonly available 29:25 You mean 'Admission', he admitted that he loved her, as you say 'omission' is leaving something out, 37:05 That is probably the iconic scary hand that you remember. The sequel was some years later. Along with 'Aliens' it is that rare thing when the sequel is not only good as a sequel (which is rare enough in itself) but is good enough as a movie it could stand on its own. I saw T2 a while before I saw this one. I would avoid the later sequels, personally.

The police who spotlight Kyle at the start pinching hobo clothes see that he was most likely nekkid and you can hear one say "He the guy?" before Kyle bolts. Presumably someone espied Arnie walking about in the buff earlier and called it in, so the cops are looking out for nekkid dudes. Loved this watch, keep up the great work 🖤

Terminator 2 definitely wasn't planned ahead of time. This was made by a young James Cameron who didn't have a budget and made this masterpiece anyways. T2 didn't even come out for another 7 years (1991). But definitely need to watch T2. This movie was a masterpiece, and I still think T2 managed to top it. And yeah there's 6 of these, but things get a little weird after T2 as the movies were no longer made by James Cameron. Release order would be: Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003) Terminator: Salvation (2009) Terminator: Genisys (2015) Terminator: Dark Fate (2019) Genisys was considered a soft reboot for the franchise, that didn't land, so Dark Fate is considered canonically now to be the "official" Terminator 3. It ignored the three before it and acts as a direct sequel to T1 and T2.

Moth balls, people would use them to prevent moths from eating their clothes while in the closet. I had a car like that. The gear stick was on the steering wheel. The front seat was a bench seat could seat three people.

With this movie, James Cameron invented a new type of film genre, Tech Noir, which he also used for the name of the dance club. He also proved that he could effectively write and direct a horror movie.

Reese had robbed a homeless man. Robbery is a felony crime. He then assaulted a police officer who was engaged in lawful duty (capturing Reese the robber), resisted arrest and robbed the police officer of his firearm then unlawfully took flight to avoid arrest. He is armed and arguably dangerous. Hell yes pursuing police may use force to capture him, including deadly force if necessary to capture or stop an armed fleeing felon who has already proven himself dangerous. The ancestors of probable future Terminator machines are being experimented with today in the killing fields of Ukraine and Kursk. There now exist aerial drones that can be sent out to an area far away and switched over to automatic autonomous operation in which the shapes of tanks, soldiers, or missile carriers and artillery can be spotted by the now autonomous drone and eliminated. Further real world experiment include networking large swarms of drones that share target information and selection data. At the same time both sides now use land drones that can climb hills, run, carry cargo,andf be armed so enemy ground targets can be engaged remotely. The land drones have not yet been given autonomous engagement capability, but this is being examined. Many naval drones both surface and submersible now have autonomous capabilities that allow it to distinguish a probable fishing boat from a war ship and target the one it wants. The technologies will improve. Skynet lives. In 1984 many cars still had bench seats. Bucket seats with center consoles were still mostly in the future. Bench sears were better for making out, and if it was a full sized car switching drivers while moving was not that hard. In the theater in 84 people were getting up to leave when the Terminator fell over at the burning truck scene. The collective impression was the movie was essentially over. Of course when it stood back up again and came out of the truck fire pretty much everyone was Holy sh*t and sitting back down. For what it is worth, I think the best of the Terminator spin offs is the TV series, "The Sarah Connor Chronicles." One of those series in which Network ec=executives ignored a million fans and high Nielson ratings and just cancelled it so they could air a dud show produced by someone paying a bigger bribe. You should probably check out The Sarah Connor Chronicles as a review subject. 😁

From THE 6 MILLION DOLLAR MAN to the 6 million dollar movie (that was the budget) From a press statement he gave, James Cameron, never really planned to make a sequel, BUT he knew (as he didnt own the rights, that one would get made & didnt like the thought of someone else ruining the rep of his original) & so he agreed to make another Terminator, this is why it was so long a time between TERMINATOR 1 & 2 I STILL prefure this 1st film, because nearly everything is original, there is KNOW WAY of not repeating yourself with a sequel, no matter what you bring to it that's new.
