Everyone praises T2, and it's definitely fantastic, but this first movie was such great horror sci-fi and truly ahead of its time

[@ubit397]

T2 is a really well made movie. It's way more complex and polished than the first one, and it deserves all of the praise it gets, but personally, I prefer the beautiful simplicity of the original. It's a perfectly paced, action packed, balls to the wall sci-fi horror flick. No pretension, no fluff, no bullshit, no apologies, just raw cinematic badassery.

[@namelessjedi2242]

Yes, just because many like T2 better doesn’t mean the original was not great too!

[@MATT-2033]

In my opinion there is THE TERMINATOR and the other movies.

[@system0fadowner251]

​​​​​@@MATT-2033 nah I think the first 2 feel like they're in the same universe and tell a cohesive story that's connected. Every one after feels like a completely different universe and tone tho. I will say I enjoy T3 and Salvation quite a bit tbh, despite them both falling far short of the first 2 and being very convoluted

[@MATT-2033]

@@system0fadowner251 T1 is a mix of horror,sci fi,film noir,action. Those other ones are action/sci fi. There is a night and day difference between THE TERMINATOR and the rest. T1 didn't have a child or have it's violence toned down to be more family friendly. I first saw TERMINATOR 2 then watched THE TERMINATOR. I was 8 years old my though was Terminator 2 was good THE TERMINATOR was awesome.

[@nathan8590]

[@39Hundred]

The metal skeleton of Arnold is called a T-800. There are many different skin coverings. Any Terminator that is a CSM-101(Cyberdyne Systems Model 101) looks like Arnold. A 102 would look like someone else.

[@Gabriel_Cook]

Correct.

[@KeithDCanada]

For historical purposes.... in 1984, only about half the US was using the 911 emergency system. It had been instituted in limited form in 1957 for fire department calls, but was not a widespread thing until later in the 80's. I can't find reference to payphones, but its very possible that since this was not a nationwide thing, that a 911 call might still have required coins.

[@robeson1070]

My experience with payphones has always been Operator and 911 were free. Can never imagine a policy of paid 911 calls being implemented anywhere.

[@NiaMakiReacts]

Thank you for that! Really puts things to perspective about things we take for granted! I guess it’s like when I tell my mom ambulances actually cost money here in the US lol

[@beefsupereme]

I was born in ‘83 and was at least old enough to read commercials and signs when they rolled out 911 in my town. Part of the process involved *naming roads* that had more than 2 residences so emergency services could find them. And honestly we’re not as backwoods as that sounds

[@Henrik_Holst]

It's also possible that she didn't call 911 but tried to call the local police station directly

[@blacksheep8427]

According to google...911 was first implemented in Los Angeles on October 1, 1984. This film was first released October 26, 1984. So, when they were making it, 911 wasn't in L.A. yet.

[@davewhitmore1958]

" . . . but don't leave that pizza!" You're a woman with priorities, I love it 💗

[@davewhitmore1958]

then you think about keistering a ray gun, good stuff!

[@jeffburnham6611]

I think this is better than T2. There's lots of small attention to detail in this film that many people miss. In the car when they're first fleeing the nightclub, Sarah bites Kyle on the hand in an attempt to get away. When Kyle explains cyborgs don't feel pain but he does, you can see blood on Sarah's lips from when she bit him, and a few scenes later, you'll notice a large deep bite mark on Kyle's hand. Later at the Tiki motel, you'll notice Kyle has his hand bandaged from when Sarah bit him.

[@NiaMakiReacts]

I saw the blood on her lips and I was like omg she really meant to escape!! I didn't notice the hand after though, nice attention to detail!!!

[@jefferyoetter6884]

Both movies are great, I don't count part 3 and up. Just that the newest generation actually do get that Kyle is John's father long before the hotel scene, which spoils it because at first you don't even think about it. You only think there's a terminator out to kill that beautiful woman called Sarah Conner

[@Serai3]

Yeah, that's called continuity and movie shoots have a person in charge of maintaining it.

[@robertlombardo8437]

​@@Serai3 Good movie shoots anyway. I'm a millennial movie fan and I have to say, I prefer older, lower budget movies with practical effects like this. CGI isn't really my bag, baby.

[@LoneWolf_Cub_Ogami_Itto]

I agree. I love T2 as an action film, but in my older age i gravitated towards 1st more.

[@KevinArdala01]

The standard theatrical version of T2 is a masterpiece! 👍

[@frenchynoob]

Extended edition is fine, I dunno why people shit on it so much

[@natedogs212]

yeah.....but the Extended Version is a lot better.....

[@davidsavage5630]

I used to prefer the extended version more back when I first saw it in 2000 or so but as I've gotten older I actually prefer the theatrical version now. There's not a single scene in the extended version that is pivotal or so important that the film NEEDS it. The EE seems saggy in spots whereas now the theatrical feels tight as a drum. I even realized the chip reset scene is unnecessary. Because the dialogue in the theatrical accomplishes the same thing more efficiently. For example, in the EE the Terminator says that all Terminators are sent out locked into "read only" mode which inhibits thinking or mental growth. In the theatrical, he doesn't say that. He just says that he's a learning computer with the capacity to better mimic and understand human behavior the more he's actually around people. I had a similar revelation with Aliens. Theatrical all the way. The perfect cut of Aliens however would be one that kept the "Ripley's daughter", the "sentry guns" and "Ripley and Hicks finally sharing their names" scenes and left the rest. This is just my opinion though. I don't think the extended versions are bad at all. I just like the editing in the theatricals so much. They feel like they flow better..

[@davidsavage5630]

@@frenchynoob It is fine. I prefer the theatrical but I cannot imagine someone thinking the extended is bad in any way. That's just silly..

[@KevinArdala01]

@davidsavage5630 100% agree. All the other themes the EE squashes in the movie are better explored in the 'Sarah Connor Chronicles'... 👍

[@HolyRomanEmperor90]

Yes! I love this movie! It’s great to see you react to it. Everyone says Terminator 2 is better, but I personally prefer this one. Terminator 2 is still great, but this one has a horror and film noir element that the second one doesn’t have. Also, Edward Furlong’s acting got on my nerves lol.

[@NiaMakiReacts]

yeah the horror elements were su unexpected! I just assumed it was action!

[@jefferyoetter6884]

I like the picture story, i.e. when Reese said that John gave him a picture of Sarah; she looked just a little sad. Reese said he always wondered what she was thinking about; she was thinking about him.

[@KeithDCanada]

As per the editor's note about 'bringing weapons through prison style'.... Absolutely 100% correct. There was a Terminator comic series for a while in the 90s, and the terminator's did in fact take human subject with them through time after storing future weaponry in their bodies, and ripping them out when they arrive.

[@NiaMakiReacts]

There was a comic series!!?!?!??

[@KeithDCanada]

@@NiaMakiReacts There as actually quite a few limited series in the late 80's and 90's published by Dark Horse Comics. Most, if not all, were 6-12 issue contained stories that expanded the lore in new stories. Some were decent, some were meh. Dark Horse also did the same things with the Predator and Aliens franchises as well.

Your questions are good questions. And the timeline explains itself. While many will tell you to stop at T2. I would also watch Terminator 3 and perhaps Terminator Salvation as well. The "Causal Loop" that's at the center of this movie is fleshed out further. The other two films significantly change the timeline.

Regarding the scene where Arnold is in the room and the janitor asks if he has a dead cat in there, in the original storyline the Terminator had a set of miniature human organs to supply his flesh with blood , including a chicken sized heart. When Reese shot him in the chest it destroyed his heart and from then on he was decomposing. If theyd avoided him long enough his flesh would have rotted away.

Some people wonder why I say watch the theatrical version of Terminator 2. Mainly, it's because if you watch a movie for the first time, I believe it should be exactly the way that people watched it in the theater opening day. If you've already seen the first version of a movie, then you can move on to "DVD extended Director cuts." That's what makes sense to me. I'm not saying everyone has to agree. Almost every time, when you have an "extended cut," all they do is put back scenes into a movie that were taken out for a reason. Usually, the movie flows better and works better without those scenes added in, that is why they were taken out in the first place. I 100% think that for T2. Again though, that's my opinion.

[@BigGator5]

"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.

This was only James Cameron's third movie as a director, but, he had worked for the famously stingy producer, Roger Corman, as an art director, and, set designer for years.

[@powerbadpowerbad]

Yeah,people forget Cameron trained under Corman and like you mentioned knew how to use his budget.Also the cast and crew thought Cameron cared more about special effects than them.And on the Abyss set,the cast was so upset with Cameron they vowed never to do another film with him or do the press runs with him either.Cameron had a well-earned reputation of being a very driven,hard&&&.

9:42 Okay. Now she knows. For some reason, someone, today, is targeting the women in the phone book who have her name, in the very order they're listed, and she's the only one _left._ So she knows she's being _targeted._ She knows to be _alert._ She may not have any real _combat_ instinct to speak of, but she knows to be on the _alert._

Maybe hiding is just the best _option."_ Well I mean, _sure,_ it _might_ be a viable option _if_ you could be sure you could put Sarah some place he wouldn't be able to _check_ in relatively short order. But I think this scene does a good job of illustrating the age-old wisdom of Sun Tzu which he put down in _The Art of War,_ centuries ago. "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." Consider the police station. It has _orders of magnitude_ more resources to bring to bear against the T800 than Kyle Reese, but he cuts through them like a hot knife through _butter._ In the meantime, Reese is able to successfully _fight_ the T800 because he knows his _enemy._ The T800 surpasses him in _every_ measurable way, but he's able to successfully fight it because he _knows_ it. He _understands,_ there _is_ no way to successfully make a stand against the T800 with just the resources of a single police station.

Even though you are correct that hair is dead once it leaves the surface of the skin, however keratin which is a protein and organic surrounds the dead hair cells that you see growing from a person's head. It is composed of tough protein, mainly keratin, which is a combination of amino acids like cysteine, serine, glutamic acid, etc. In elemental form, it contains 51% carbon, 17% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 6% hydrogen, 5% sulfur, and a trace amount of Fe, Mg and other elements. And not to get to scientific or nerdy about it, but in a way James Cameron was a genius or he got lucky about the time traveling unit. They say nothing "dead" will go, but in reality based on the movie, everything organic will go through.

3:27 in reality the gun would be locked up in the police car. They did it that way so that he could get ahold of a weapon, you know movie logic.

Am I the only one who heard $4.50 for admission to a live music club, and almost laughed out loud?

That terminator was hard as hell to get rid of. Sarah Connor the mother of John in the future should be honored of what she knew. Have you seen An American Werewolf In London? It was an 80's horror/comedy classic. Maybe you could do a reaction video of it sometime? I think you would like it.

This is 1984 & AT&T first started implementing the advanced 911 system in 1980 there were still ads on TV in the 80s to teach ppl about 911. So the 80's you might have had to use a coin. I know in the 90s you could dial 911 or operator for free. Kind of like cell phone can now call 911 even if they're not in service. 911 with designed about tracing landlines it wasn't until 1998 that they started to implement pinging the closest cell tower to your cell phone

that's wild how times have changed!

@@NiaMakiReacts true that👍

5:40.....2023+ 'cause smoking = Getting killed by a terminator. We KNOW that now....

[@kentmont]

I disagree with popular opinion. I think this is a little better than T2. Mostly because it’s more of a sci-fi horror that was popular at the time

[@davewhitmore1958]

"I wanna see something go " Nothing pops "Ewwww" :(

[@yermec5761]

This movie is so nostalgic ✨

[@влад_ярославцев]

Yeah! one of the best movies w/ Arnold.

[@spacemanspliff7983]

Don't listen to those people just like Alien over Aliens, T1 over T2 all day. 🤘🏽

[@donwilk9196]

I agree...T2 was my jam as a kid but now as an adult T1 I find superior

[@nickmitsialis]

OK, here's the 'lore': 101 is the 'skin' model, in this case the 'Arnie' version. There are probably thousands of skin models and each model has thousands of copies. The 'Chassis' the machine underneath the skin has it's own 'model' designation; for ex: this Arnie chassis is T800

[@Henrik_Holst]

Which is retconned though. Remember that Kyle knows that Arnie is a model 101 but he doesn't know what he looks like (which is why he had to wait for the Terminator to make the first movie at Technoir). It also doesn't make much sense for an infiltration model to have set designs so this was just IMHO a sloppy thing that they introduced in T3.

[@Bobahat]

I have never understood the widespread "Terminator 2 is better" thing. T2 is a great movie, but T1 is way better in my opinion.

[@goat1408]

Nia watching Terminator....awwwww💖

[@mageeaaron2624]

13:07 Aye!!!! You got the moves! 💪

[@lastedain450]

If anyone watches the first movie, and likes it, they need to see the sequel (not even going to mention what came later). I'm in the T2 is the better movie camp but both are incredible movies and even in rare cases where a sequel is superior it wouldn't exist without the original so that's always a point in the original's favor.

[@ryanodonovan9497]

As the Nostalgia Critic pointed out, it's kind of ridiculous having a fake jump scare out of Sarah's iguana knocking things from the fridge down on Ginger at 10:45. What, are we supposed to believe that the Terminator is squashed up in that narrow gap between the top of the fridge and the ceiling? Then again, if someone can make that entertaining, it's Arnold Schwarzenegger.

[@CaddyJim]

You asked if that was the same *Sarah Connor* killed on TV or second to *Sarah* killed. To *Sarah's* had been killed by that time trying to make you think that the other guy is killing *Sarah Connor's* too not just *#Arnold* since they didn't show you him killing the 2nd *Sarah* either

[@juliusperseus8612]

Is This a coincidence that Kyle and The T800 Arrives May 12, The Same day That The Cyborgs in Dragon Ball z arrives ?!... Wouldn't be surprised that Toriyama was Inspired by this Movie.

[@Tomha]

Funfact: The Terminator was originally planned to be played by O.J. Simpson, you can guess why he didn't get the role xD

[@NiaMakiReacts]

😂 they didn’t want a real terminator

[@adrianescobar3335]

T2 was definitely amazing but this movie laid all the groundwork was truly ahead of it time in the sci-fi genre at least

[@TheRheannon]

Gets more freaked out about a dog getting hurt than a human 😂 typical gen z

[@jefferyoetter6884]

The only disadvantage that I had when it first came out, a spoiler was revealed and I hope you don't know the spoiler at all. The introduction confuses some people though that 2 terminators were sent back in time, to kill her son, as a child. This confuses the most important facts of the movie. If you don't listen carefully to the intro. But as I also said, I got the spoiler before I even saw the movie the first time. All I can say, the movie was made great and the ending will still make you feel sad too. Just come with us if you want to live. 😂

[@MrShady455]

Ty, great reaction >.< So waiting part 2 :)

[@RCROX]

Absolutely my favorite movie!

[@worthalook4870]

Super classic movie. My fav of the series of movies, second is a classic also
