[@retromillenium]

Clariss, what you're missing in your analysis is, human beings didn't make the Terminators, Skynet did. An Artificial Intelligence, like Skynet, is not bound by biological evolutionary limits. It can advance itself and evolve far quicker than any biological life on Earth. Think about personal computers. For the longest time, If you bought a brand new state of the art home computer, it was already outdated in less than a year. Now imagine building a machine so advanced that it has the equivalent intelligence and creative ability as a human being or more. It could easily create something even more advanced than itself far faster and with far greater precision than a human being can.

I can't help but suspect that if a writer tried to pull off that "twist" these days, it might come across as horrendously contrived. But in an early-to-mid '80s (for all intents and purposes) B-movie that punches so far above its weight as a whole, it works.

[@StCerberusEngel]

That's the Corman school of filmmaking for you.

[@rodentnolastname6612]

At its heart, it's a typical slasher film but with well crafted scifi elements. Top notch plotting and show it don't explain it sequences. Good use of burying exposition within action sequences as well as doling out only a little info at a time. Brilliant setups and payoffs. Solid pacing and mood.

[@McKamikazeHighlander]

28:00 Yeah Clariss, they used Stop Motion for the full-body exoskeleton Terminator movement, but practical effects for close-up shots from the waist up or focusing on just the legs. For the sequel, they used both practical effects, animatronics and state of the art CGI by ILM - blended in such a way that it still holds up today (probably due to the far greater budget they were given. Apparently a third of the T2 budget was for the Terminator CGI alone)

[@turricanedtc3764]

Yup - IIRC it's stop-motion, miniatures and back-projection for shots where the endoskeleton was in motion, and a full-size puppet/animatronic for close-up and tracking shots. I wonder if they wrote the Terminator's leg damage into the script because the budget for the full-size animatronic wouldn't stretch to fully-articulated legs. Innovative use of miniatures and back-projection seems to have been a specialty of Cameron's in the earlier days - they were used very effectively in "Aliens" as well - though it must be said that the advent of HD and 4K prints makes their use more obvious than would have been the case at the time. Something I learned relatively recently about T2 was that in spite of it being (IIRC) the most expensive Hollywood movie in history at the time, a combination of the expense and limitations inherent within state-of-the-art CG back then meant that Cameron had to use quite a few "blink-and-you'll-miss-it" tricks he'd learned from his low-budget/Roger Corman days to make certain scenes work. Lightning-fast editing covers for (among other things) Robert Patrick with tin-foil "T-1000 bullet wounds" glued to his costume and a stuntman covered in silver makeup during one of the climactic fight sequences.

[@J-S.P]

8:51 - with regard to headphones there was an actual story of someone even back in the 80s who got run over by a train because that person has the Walkman headphones so loud that they couldn't hear it coming.

[@juanausensi499]

Yes, that happened more than once. Back in the day, it was not that the headphones were better at isolating external sounds, they were simply really loud because people liked them that way. Those accidentsm and the discovery that loud music causes permanent hearing loss, caused the manufacturers to limit how loud they made headphones.

[@ccthomas]

Yep I almost got run over by a car when I was skateboarding around the neighborhood with my Walkman. Had no idea it was there.

[@jamesnoneyabizness5611]

9:17 Yes, they actually DID block out an _amazing_ amount of noise back in the day, because of one specific reason: unlike today's headphones, ear buds and speakers, there were NO RESTRICTIONS as to how loud a sound these devices could produce (FCC Regulation, Section 15 came later, as did UL listings for volume ceilings) so you could - and many often did - crank headphones up to permanently-dangerous-to-your-hearing levels, far above the maximum level allowed today.

[@tcsam73]

“I will be back!” Iconic line

[@MDBowron]

actually "I will be back" was how Arnold originally wanted to do the line, as he thought it would sound more robotic, but Jim Cameron wanted it to be "I'll be back." so Arnold did that.

[@lewisner]

The Endoskeleton was stop motion when it was walking down the corridor and a puppet torso carried on a guys shoulders for the close up scenes. A beautiful detail is that when you see it from behind after it leaves the fire. its shoulder blades are moving - that must have been hard to animate but their devotion to their art was such that they did it anyway.

[@ven_skywalker7007]

Welcome to the gateway of my distrust for AI 😂 Cameron actually thought up Terminator while filming Piranha 2. He was in Rome, became really sick, and in his fever-dream he saw of a chrome metal torso crawling out of an explosion and crawling across the floor

[@helifanodobezanozi7689]

Well, he didn't exactly come up with it all by himself. He "borrowed" heavily from 2 episodes of The Outer Limits written by Harlon Ellison ("Soldier" and "Demon with the Glass Hand") and probably the film "Colossus: The Forbin Project." That's why Ellison has a credit in the film.

[@aaronbab22]

This is actually Cameron's second film. His first film is Piranha 2: The Spawning. It was so bad he actually got blacklisted from the industry. He wrote The Terminator because he felt a great script was the only way anyone would ever let him direct again. Now the script.... there is one of three ways you can view the writing of it. He either stole the concept from two different works from a sci-fi author named Harlan Ellison (who later sued Cameron and won for plagiarism... thus his credit at the end of the film) or Cameron came to the concept after having a sorta fever dream while staying in Rome. Personally I go with the third option which is he was heavily inspired by a mix of the two and didn't properly credit Ellison. Also pretty much the entire performance from Arnold can be attributed to Arnold. He came up with this performance after watching Yul Brynner in Westworld as a menacing robotic cowboy. He basically talked himself into the job over dinner with James Cameron who actually was trying to fire Arnold at the time because he didn't feel he was right for the part. Clearly Arnold won that argument.

[@JSSTyger]

The making of the movie... 1) James Cameron had a vision of a robot rising out of a fire and that inspired The Terminator. 2) Arnold originally thought he was going to play Reese, but after a lunch with Cameron, they both decided he'd make a hell of a terminator 3) OJ Simpson was was of the candidates to play the Terminator 4) Bill Paxton, Lance Henriksen, and Michael Biehn all play in Terminator 1 and in Aliens, which came out in 1986. 5) Stan Winston was the genius behind the Terminator effects. Stan built a full sized endoskeleton. Stop motion was used in the full-body scenes but simple puppetry with the upper torso was utilized when the terminator was making his way through the factory. Animatronics were used during the surgery scene and the apartment scene where he is flipping through Sarah's date book. 6) The film was made on a $6.4 million dollar budget. They were so scrapped for cash that Cameron's suit bag was used as Reese's body bag at the end. 7) The final scene in Mexico was shot without a permit. A cop stopped by and they told the cop it was a high school film project for one of the production team member's sons.

OJ Simpson was originally considered to be the Terminator, but they thought he wouldn't be believable in the role of a cold-blooded killer. Lance Henriksen was also considered for the role (complete with concept art drawn up), while Arnold was originally considered for the role of Kyle Reese. Imagine that lol "Dat Turminatah is out deyah!"

[@daveb947]

A mix of stop motion and full sized "puppets" were used for the T800 scenes. The Future War scenes with the HKs (Hunter/Killers) like the tank and jet were done with practical models and miniatures. T2 used similar full sized T800 "puppets".

[@aarrgghh]

fun fact: there's a short vid on youtube ("harlan ellison and the terminator") of an interview with legendary sci-fi writer harlan ellison, who explained that he'd heard cameron was humble-bragging how he'd "ripped off" the idea for the terminator from "a couple of 'outer limits' episodes" that ellison wrote. ellison sued and got some money and a movie end credit in the settlement.

[@tonyyul703]

I will say this about James Cameron. In his former years he was probably the most inspirational film director of my generation next to Steven Spielberg and George Lucas and Brian de Palma. He was one of those guys you, if you were into films and movies you looked up to, in learning this industry. He basically started out as the art director, and just grew from there. However, now he has changed in the worst way possible and he's pretty much turned his back on what he knows and have broken 💔 the hearts of so many. so all I'm going to say is that James Cameron was better during his former years than he is in his latter years.....

Arnie initially struggled to be able to pronounce "I'll be back". So he suggested to James Cameron that he say "I will be back" instead because it sounds more robotic. James Cameron simply said "I don't tell you how to act. So don't tell me how to write. Just say the line 10 different ways and we'll go with one of them".

[@turricanedtc3764]

You may be right, however I'd swear I'd read it was the other way around - as in the original script called for "I will be back" due to the long-standing sci-fi trope in which robots/androids/cyborgs cannot use contractions*. I read that Schwarzenegger suggested using "I'll be back" instead because he thought it would be more memorable. If that was his true motivation, then he was absolutely right!** [* - See what I did there? 😁] [** - Though I can't help but wonder whether he might have been at least partially concerned about how his Austrian accent and pronunciation of "I will" might have been an issue...]

[@Cinemabu11]

One interesting thing about the Terminator movies is that they're paradoxes (which is intended). The time travelers never actually change history, and simply become a part of it. This paradox is the Novikov Self-Consistency Principle/Predestination Paradox, or simply a Causal Loop. I think even James Cameron stated that these movies are meant to be paradoxes. The events of the first two movies exist in a loop. No time traveler actually has free will and simply "plays their part." Also (SPOILERS for T2 later, be wary) The biggest example is Kyle Reese himself. The reason John was born is because Reese was sent back, and Reese could only be sent back if John is born, etc. The T-800 and Kyle are sent back to change the future but in reality, it's fate; predestined. They fulfill their roles in history. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The loop was finally broken in T2, only for a new one to form giving the same result as the prior timeline/loop. This is why I love sci-fi/fantasy, because it explores concepts and ideas like this.

[@MDBowron]

The Terminator was what we call "a closed timeline" where everything was a predestination paradox and bootstrap paradox, as in what happened, happened. Terminator two made it what is called "an open timeline" as in a timeline that can be rewritten, like a painting being painted over again and again. It's like the saying that what is canon is the universe, and what is fan-fiction is the multiverse. If you want other good time travel stuff, I'd recommend the 2014 film "Predestination" which is based off a Robert A Heinlein short story "-All You zombies-" and another being the German TV series "Dark" (2017-2020).

[@MDBowron]

however there is the idea that Terminator 1 and Terminator 2, Terminator 3 and Terminator Salvation could all be one loop, where the idea of Judgement Day being in 1997 as mentioned in Terminator 2, was actually false information, that it actually happened in 2004, and that the false judgement day was used to get Miles Dyson, the inventor of the reverse-engineered AI neuronet-processor, and thus who would know all the design flaws and how it all worked, making him the one who may know how to shut one down or reprogram them better, out of the way. Terminator 2 events could have been so the online version of data, (as Terminator 2 is set in 1995, as John was born in Feb 1985 (like me) and was around 10 or so) would have been saved on the early internet, and because of Cyberdyne being sabotaged, made the designs from Cyberdyne be taken up by the Military CRS, thus making Terminator 2 timeline still part of the original timeline. Terminator 3 of course has this idea that the super-virus that supposedly infects the internet and is the reason Skynet is turned on, is in fact a future version of skynet carried in the T-X meant to hack through the system to propagate its software and then infect or encode Skynet with its own AI program thus creating a bootstrap AI singularity. There's a deleted scene where a general called Candy played by Schwartzenegger was used as the template for the first humanoid Terminators, and whose likeness was even modelled, his Southern voice however being replaced by a technican's more Austrian accent. Basically CRS was creating a cyber-warfare drone system, with the HK Aerials being basically drones, T-1 robots being the basic for the HK-Tank, and android soldiers being built to replace human soldiers. You'll see that in Terminator Salvation, Kyle is there, when the first T-800 101 models are being built (again based on Candy's designs and models from T3), and an old T-1 robot shown, as well as larger HKs and attempts at making infiltrators using bioengineered bodies, which is a major plot point. T-600s, human concentration camps with barcode tattoos, and humans being on the Brink and John Connor being the person to free the human prisoners and fight against the first T-800s all being mentioned in the exposition in The Terminator. And at the end, the jacket Kyle gets is John's and that's how he finds Sarah's photo in an end-credits scene. Which still all fits within the first timeline. Terminator Genisys, and Terminator Dark Fate however are definite reboots, introducing the open timeline in a more obvious way. The TErminator Sarah Connor TV series could also be considered a reboot as well, as open timeline.

In the shots where you see the full terminator endoskeleton, it is all stop-motion, but in the shots where you see only its feet, legs, and upper torso then it is a puppet.

[@scottalynch]

Stan Winston is the man!

[@guitarman8462]

The begining with Arnold walking towards those guys for clothes was filmed in Hollywood at the Griffith Observatory . And the gun store was filmed near the movie studios . A grand portion was in Los Angeles .

7:55 And _now_ she knows to be on alert. This time, the day before, there were _three_ women in the phone book with her name, and as of now, the other two have both been _killed._ Their killer has had the same MO, so it stands to reason they were killed by the same _party._ But this party managed to elude their suspicions because they did not know he was _targeting_ them. Sarah _does,_ now. So _this_ Sarah knows to be on alert. She doesn't know quite what to be on alert _for._ She's not _accustomed_ to being hunted, but she knows to be on alert for _someone._

Think it's in the novel when Reese travels back and tries pizza, he meets a stray and bc of the relationship with dogs in the future, and how they always make sure they're fed and taken care of, even tho he's tasting pizza for the 1st time in his life out the trash he offers it to the dog.

6:44 Parking garages, at night, in the '80's, were _much_ more dangerous places than they are, now. Nowadays, all the parts of the garage that are not visible from the _street_ typically have _surveillance_ cameras installed that are being watched by _security_ personnel. Not in the '80's, though.

[@quizshow1977]

I don't see this in any other comments. As stated on Wikipedia, Harlan Ellison wrote the short story ["Soldier From Tomorrow" (published in 1957)] which inspired "The Terminator". Ellison had to sue James Cameron in order to get his copyright fee & get his name in the closing credits (both of which he got in the out-of-court settlement).

[@PedroCastillo_1980]

Thank you CLARISS for reacting this amazing classic The Terminator directed by James Cameron and starring by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Next time Terminator 2: Judgement Day

[@Browncoat66]

"You know what we got? Frickin Tik Tok that's what we got!" GOLD Clariss! 💖

[@15blackshirt]

Besides the 3D attraction at Universal Studios, the best entries after Terminator 2 are Terminator Salvation(Director's Cut) and the Enhanced Version of the first person shooter Terminator Resistance. Besides the movies and theme park attraction, there's a short lived TV series, comics, graphic novels and videogames. Besides being a successful actor, Arnold Schwarzenegger was a successful businessman and seven time winner of the Mr. Olympia bodybuilding title. Arnold Schwarzenegger, James Cameron and composer Brad Fiedel reunited for Terminator 2, True Lies and T2: Battle Across Time

[@lazyhominid]

Headphones cranked up loud will cover up a lot of noise. Remember this was in the 80's, when loud noise didn't damage your hearing yet, so the walkman was extremely loud.

[@shainewhite2781]

James Cameron wanted OJ Simpson to play the role of the Terminator but changed his mind saying, "He's too much of a nice guy to play the role of a ruthless killer ". 😳🤦 Mel Gibson, Sylvester Stallone, Tom Selleck and Lance Henriksen were considered. Bruce Springsteen, Michael O'Keefe, Tommy Lee Jones, Christopher Reeve, Scott Glenn, Sting, Treat Williams and Matt Dillon were considered for Kyle Reese. Lea Thompson, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Jessica Harper, Melissa Sue Anderson, Rosanna Arquette and Lisa Langolis were considered for Sarah Connor.

[@StreetHierarchy]

You don't have to be mean to kill.

[@stonecoldku4161]

"Yo! I'm impressed by the level of that jell in that man's hair." That's the late Bill Paxton. Again, the only man to be killed in a movie by a Xenomorph (Aliens), a Terminator and a Predator in Predator 2.

[@logankerlee]

This movie is ICONIC! We've got Tik Tok as well as the internet, computers in every home, access to the internet from every person's pocket more or less. This is hands down my FAVORITE movie. I watched this for the first time as a youngster. I was less than 4 years old when I first watched this. SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME. I remember watching this so clearly not because of the genuine terror but more because I got a toy Terminator figure and I played with that thing FOR AGES! I still have it! xD But yeah, I watched this when I was a kid. It big time freaked me out! Such a trip watching this with you. :) It's so much fun seeing other people's first time with this. So yup, I'm gonna be subbing to your Patreon for at least a month to watch this with ya! :)

[@logankerlee]

Just subbed to the Patreon and I'm not seeing this on there.. :/ Will it be added later on? This is something that I REALLY want to watch!

[@logankerlee]

You aren't watching the original classic version from the look of it, which means that they threw in some updated effects but nothing too crazy.

[@logankerlee]

Terminator 2 is the "better film" but I'll always enjoy this one so much more. It's action and pacing feel so much more intense. Terminator 2 was my favorite as a kid, but this one now as an adult is what I enjoy more.

[@oobrocks]

When I first saw this, I couldn’t believe Arnold survived the oil truck explosion… yes stop motion

[@arzelleus]

That type of headphones wouldn't block noise at all and were pretty crappy. So you needed to crank them way up to appreciate any detail in music. Saturating your ears like that effectively means you can't process anything else.

[@danielmorency2242]

The close-ups of the Terminator are done using a model on a moving rig (king of like a puppet). The scenes of the Terminator walking are effectively done with stop-motion... :)

[@timothyrenar5498]

Arnold disagreed with James about the I'll Be Back line as he thought it should have been I Will Be Back but Jim knew that I'll be Back would be more of a catch phrase and even now we can see that he was correct.

[@StatusSymbol37]

Just found your channel today and I’m loving the videos so far so good I can see myself going down the rabbit hole easily tonight with this kind of content 😅😂 I appreciate the uploads giving me life rn have a good week and happy new year!

[@JamailvanWestering]

slight correction: this is not James his first work, but a smaller film called Piranha 2: The Spawning

[@matsv201]

In the nightclub they play "you got me burning" they are actually trying to warn arnie that Kyle is not only going to get him burning once, but twice.

[@johnrob3215]

The police captain was played by Paul Winfield who was James, Earl Jones of his generation, very famous man great actor

[@joek468]

The famous scene "I'll be back".... the desk officer Bruce Kerner he is also the executive producer of the film. He also executive produced the sitcoms Moesha and it's spin off The Parkers as well as Judge Judy. I met him when I worked at the studio where they taped the parkers thinking it would be cool if we were related (same last name) but we couldn't determine if we were.

[@georger.3489]

As far as I know they had two seperate parts from the terminator for the final scenes. In one scene they only showed the terminator upper body, moved by the crew below the camera. in the next scene only his legs, moved by the crew above the camera.

[@krono5el]

Hair looking fire Clariss, def an awesome look. also hell yeah for terminator and T2 :D

[@OpenMawProductions]

13:48 We are 3D printing organs at this point. They've printed micro hearts that actually beat. We're only a few generations of technology away from being able to replace lost limbs and damaged organs with fresh ones. As to our robotics, look at auto driving cars, look at everything Boston Dynamics is doing, look at all of the strange and interesting things coming out of Japan's robotics community. Look at Facebook, Google, and all of the other AI projects we have going on. Look at the AI art "industry" which is causing all manner of calamity for artists. So that's basically all the things we need to create a humanoid robot with skin on it, IE a cyborg. We're not that far off from Terminators. We don't quite have a neural net processor, or hyper-alloy. But we're getting there!

[@OpenMawProductions]

Also, on the subject of AI, we're less likely to see a Skynet scenario and more than likely to simply see AI outpace us. The real life consequences of AI, automation, robotics as it now geometrically accelerates across many industries is fewer and fewer jobs for people. The machines will do all the work, which will leave the human race with nothing to do. This is one of the big problems people like Elon Musk are trying to solve with applications like the Neura-link. A means for human beings to increase their natural processing power to match computers and AI. We're already starting to see the signs that human beings are losing. My brother does a job now with one other person and machines that used to be done by four man teams. Yes, a 50% reduction in work force. Sounds great, except that means two more people in the unemployment line. Which means more strain on the system. Which means more pressure to automate and make things more efficient Which puts more strain on the system. The hope would be that social changes would occur faster than technological ones, so that society would have more opportunities for its biological inhabitants. Unfortunately the balance seems to be shifting the other way. Can we shift it back? Who knows.

[@slickrichelicopter8977]

Full body is stop motion. They use a hand made, manually controlled torso/upper body for the closeups.

[@slickrichelicopter8977]

😳Arnold full frontal😳 Clariss reaction: "I'm impressed.............by the level of gel in that man's hair."😅

[@p0pp4]

Sarah's roommate was one of the girls from "The Twenty Minute Workout ".

[@kevinerose]

A. Endoskeleon B. Yes, stop motion is how they do that. For close-ups of the head and eyes, they had actual robots.

[@davidr1050]

27:53 -- Yes, stop motion animation. My friend Cary Bryant is one of the few folks with a FULL SIZE Terminator Endoskeleton.. Look him up on KZbin and you'll find a video of it..

[@jensbarlau2256]

Hi.. as having grown up in the 80s and having used the old walkman thingies I can tell you for sure that they blocked out any noise in your surroundings because there were no ear protection in them at that time. You could turn the volume up so high that you could risk permanent ear damage for sure. And you can see in one scene that Ginger turns the volume up very high usually.

[@markuslusch568]

Dear Clariss, I've seen now both reactions from you, Terminator and T2, and I love how you diggin it when you react. I still think the first one ist still the best, because all special effects had never met CGI, its all based on Talent of many people, make up, warderobe, cast, directing, acting, scoring - the atmosphere of this is uncomparable, and the wonderful score with the pulse-hearbeat-percussions as the main theme for almost every scene - everything, its a Mastepeace, a B-Movie Budget had been used for a Blockbuster - something like that, still admire it. Big Hug for U Beauty, take care! Best Regards from Hamburg.

[@86leewis]

The dream is strange, the 101 series all look like Arnold. That was his best friend Franco Colombo as the t800

[@alittlebitgone]

Don't think I've ever seen a reactor pause a movie to tell a story before, lol, interesting.

[@dr.burtgummerfan439]

Really? Who do you watch?

[@SIPEROTH]

This movie has a very deep meaning. Don't wear Nike if you want to stay alive.

[@judsongaiden9878]

0:24 Cyberdyne is the company. Skynet is the sentient A.I. 1:45 Ackchyually, the expression is "buck naked," not "butt naked." 2:24 The Nostalgia Critic calls that motif "dirty shadows." 3:11 Nike Vandals 3:19 Product placement. Sponsored by Ithaca. Fun fact: Michael Biehn uses an Ithaca 37 M&P in this movie and an Ithaca 37 Stakeout in 'Aliens'. 3:23 In the original First Blood, Colonel Trautman wears that same style of coat. 4:49 Did you notice that Michael Connell Biehn glanced over the name "Michael B. Connor?" 5:21 Double-tap times three. 6:51 She's the third Sarah Connor listed. 10:32 That motif of happenstance is revisited in T2 when Danny Dyson runs his RC car into his dad's foot. 17:45 kzbin.info/www/bejne/paS1knafZ9qGeJI 19:23 He's gunzerking! He's got an Armalite AR-18 in his right hand and a Franchi SPAS-12 in his left hand. There's a punk song by Gang of Four called 'Armalite Rifle'. It's mostly about the AR-18. 20:18 Brad Fiedel is a genius! 21:01 That's a Model 102 Terminator portrayed by Arnie's buddy, the late Franco Columbu. 28:15 Or as Mike Bracken, aka The Horror Geek, would say: "PIMP HAAAAND!" 29:54 Remember when Kyle said that he'd always wondered what she was thinking at that moment? She was thinking of him. uwu

[@bjgandalf69]

Clarissa, fyi but this film is not the first film that James Cameron, who started in effects, directed. The first film he ever directed was Piranha 2 but this is the first film that he wrote and directed. The idea for this film came to him in a dream even though he had give credit to science fiction writer Harlan Ellison who wrote the script for an episode of the 1960s Twilight Zone series with a similar premise and the credit was part of a lawsuit settlement. Once Cameron settled on having Arnold star in this film...various people were considered including O.J. Simpson but he was considered to clean cut...this film is years before the Simpson murder trial, he ended up having to wait for Arnold to finish filming Conan the Barbarian. He wrote the script formthe Alien sequel, Aliens, while waiting for Arnold to be available.

[@kimghanson]

It is fascinating to look at old science fiction and compare it to what really happened. Most of the old stories were about space travel, space travel far more advanced then we actually have. Almost none saw the computer revolution coming. In that we are far more advanced than anyone foresaw.

[@tyrone7635]

Your hair is so adorable and that adorable kitten LOL amazing reaction

[@gumdeo]

"He said the thing!" 😄

[@Overlord0011]

Hey, Clariss, if you haven't seen it and want to see an Arnold movie that is very different from his usual action-focused works, I highly recommend "Twins". He stars alongside Danny DeVito.

[@MDBowron]

ditto Last Action Hero, and Junior, also co-starring Danny DeVito with Arnold both being comedies

[@Browncoat66]

" It kinda looks like stop motion" YES!

[@TheFireMonkey]

SciFi in the 50s thought we would have flying cars by now - I have always found it funny how far off such predictions are.

[@bjgandalf69]

Clarissa, the full body metal Terminator is a stop motion figurine while the closer shots are puppets.

[@Ry-jl2gg]

I always thought it was so cool that this came out the same year that I was born

[@damianstarks3338]

This sci fi movie is a pure masterpiece love your reaction to this.

[@iUseVegas]

watching this right before I go to bed so clariss can react to my dreams lmao
