The scooter Sarah is riding at 4:40 is a Honda 125 Spacy ("Elite" in the US). Until that point, scooters mostly had curvaceous 1950s styling like iconic Italian Lambrettas or Vespas. However post-Star Wars, Honda decided that 'futuristic' styling would sell, so they came out with the Spacey, complete with Ferrari-style pop-up headlight and 'space age' digital dashboard). They were pretty popular in the early 1980s. A mate of mine had the 250cc version for a while: it was pretty decent. Since they were launched in 1984, the year Terminator came out, I wouldn't be surprised if the scooter's appearance was a bit of paid-for product placement.

The attention to detail in this (low budget) movie is awesome. When Kyle tells Sarah about the picture he says that he always wondered what she was thinking about and that she seemed kinda sad. In the end scene we learn she was thinking about him and that he was dead, so she was kinda sad. Just perfect.

The "thing" on the car @12:41 is a column shifter - its not really a thing on American cars but rather on older cars (and particularly older trucks). Rather than having the auto-transmission shifter in the center of the car like most new cars do, a lot of them used to have it on the steering column where you could shift it between, Park, Neutral, Drive, Reverse, etc.

If you request PAS because you have cancer due to a toxic spill or radiation exposure, that doesn't mean the toxic spill or radiation didn't kill you) To bad Jenette Goldstein was recast in Predator 2, otherwise she would also be on the Trifecta list. (She was on Titanic though, giving her a different Cameron trifecta) Paxton was all over the Cameron movies, He was in Titanic and True Lies as well. Now we just need Arnie to kill an Alien in an Alien movie to be the third in the trinity and the first to have killed all three.

That thing you were wondering about in American cars is the gear shift for an automatic transmission. In the 1980's they started putting safety interlocks on them so you could not start the vehicle unless the shift lever was in park or neutral. Over time or on slight impacts the shift lever interlock would get knocked out of alignment so you had to keep fiddling with the lever to get the car to start again.

[@JDdiGriz]

Yup, the Eighties were loud as hell, you got that right. Not just the clothes, we were loud as hell too. It wasn't just the drugs either. We actually had caffinated water, and we used it to make coffee. We drank Jolt Cola, it had all of the sugar and twice the caffeine of Coca Cola. We had all of the dangerous energy drink prototypes. I remember a caffeinated pancake syrup loaded with guarana back then. We could be as loud as we wanted because didn't have to worry about waking anybody up. None of us ever slept, we just kind of passed out every so often and the others would just walk over us. We had a system. It sucked but it was a system...

@@jessecortez9449 It does deserve more love! It was one of the first fantasy movies that showed the potential for the genre, and helped make it possible for later things like Game of Thrones. Until that point, "sword and sandals" flicks were always given shoestring budgets, and treated like second-rate movies. Just the soundtrack/score alone for Conan, is, IMHO one of the best movie scores of all time.

"Last Action Hero" is one of the greatest pieces of cinema art ever made. It's my favorite Arnold movie. It is absolutely a self-conained universe that explores the self-contained universes of movies, what a movie is and is not and how movies effect the world and our understandings and our behaviors in it, and how empty the worlds and lives are in movies, outside the hour or so of those worlds we see as the movie, when all the cool stuff is happening.

R.I.P Dr Silverman, whose actor recently passed away. OT: Lance Hendrickson was going to play the Terminator. The idea being, this is what a computer AI thinks humans look, sound and act like. They had to give a credit to Harlon Ellison, to avoid a lawsuit against the producers. The film's plot was too close to Ellison's story "Soldier", which was made into an Outer limits episode.

[@TommygunNG]

Regarding the gun store scene: A normal human purchaser had to fill out paperwork to attest that they were not restricted from purchasing a firearm by virtue of legal issues or mental problem. Today, they have to also go through an instant background check in a national database listing such prohibited persons. Also, note that the dealer says that there is a waiting period on the handgun. That is a California law, not a national one.

The scene of the terminator emerging from the fire: FUN FACT: the writer-director of this film, James Cameron, had a nightmare of a robot with guns emerging from a fire. He woke up, and instantly wrote a draft script to make a movie, and that’s how the whole thing came to be; he wrote the whole plot around that. Jim Cameron says that “dreams are boring”, and prefers nightmares because it is a source for his movies….

Was once parallel parked in a 1962 Ford Galaxy 500 with "3 on the tree" gear shift and manual (not power) steering with less than a foot between the car in front and the car in the rear. Took a lot of time, muscle, and elbow grease (and several bumper bumps) to get unparked and onto the street.

The thing on the steering wheel is the gear selector for automatic transmission cars. Now the gear selector (1, 2, 3, D, N, R, P) is typically located in the centre console between the front seats but in the 80s when cars typically had bench seats instead of individual bucket seats it was on the steering column.

There are very few sequels universally acknowledged as better than the first one. You will be watching T2. For sure. Top 3: T2, True Lies, Predator. Enjoy and keep up the great work!

True Lies is DEFINITELY one of my favorite Arnold movies, Jamie Lee Curtis movies, AND James Cameron movies lol...

Not universally acknowledged at all. The first is a better film, IMHO.

"Universally acknowledged as better" is a pretty far fetch. You would get a lot of votes for both parts. But T2 is for sure one of the best sequels ever made.

"Come with me if you want to live" originated in this movie. Other movies and TV shows have referenced it, of course.

[@MichaelWilliams-mn7wf]

At 12:40, when Kyle & Sarah's car stops and Kyle is trying to move the stick next to the wheel, he's trying to shift the gears. The stick is a gear shift for automatic transmissions. These were common in the 80s. The reason he can't move it is because Sarah threw the car into Park to stop them from crashing into the wall and it locked up the transmission.

[@KennethSorling]

Camern was undobtedly brilliant, but he at a lot of help from the composer. This soundtrack is just AMAZING!

[@TheRebuilt1]

agreed the opening music and drums along with constant beat during Arnies arrival are legendary

[@Pokyhawk]

12:35 The lever in question is a column mounted gear shift. It's seen almost exclusively in older cars even back before automatic transmissions because a lot of "family cars" did not have split front seats and covered where the floor shifter would be.

t2 had too much of a comedy vibe, i much prefer the horror vibe of the original. the terminator and total recall are my favorite 2 arnold movies.

[@User-zzyyxxvv]

I agree too. They watered down T2. I like Arnie better as a bad guy and T1 was grittier.

[@WraithWTF]

12:41 That thing on the steering column is a gear shifter...it's pretty common to see them there in trucks even today, but in the 70s and 80s a lot of larger cars would put the gear shift there instead of the floor between the front seats so they could use a "bench"-style front seat, thus allowing space for another passenger in the car (2+driver in the front, 3 or more in the back). It also helps that those cars almost always came with automatic transmissions, though there were a few manual transmission vehicles that put the shifter there (it's confusing as hell to try to drive one, and way too easy to miss a gear, so it never caught on thankfully).

[@unseenentity326]

In older American cars, the gearshift for an automatic transmission is on the steering wheel column. It's what puts the car into Park, Drive, Neutral, or Reverse. It was not between the seats because cars back then had bench seats that spanned from door to door.

For the T2 i recommend you specifically watch the "Special Edition", since it has some really good additional scenes that add to the story in a good way.

[@richlisola1]

I real thought everything from the director’s cut should have been cut

[@willwilliamson9580]

@@richlisola1 theres no question the cut scenes add very little and are highly cutable. The only thing that adds significantly in my opinion are the scenes of the t1000 glitching at the end. it shows that he has accrued lasting damage over the fight, it also explains how john knew which sarah was real. those scenes were short enough that what they added would have been worth it. the smile is cute but its been so overused now its lost some of its charm for me. everything else can be cut and probably should be. the alternate ending should be removed from existence completely.

I see that you recognised Lance Henriksen and maybe it is in your full length reaction but the guy who played Kyle Reese is the same guy who was Dwayne Hicks in Aliens.

The thing in the car is called a "column shift" which places a shifting (drive, reverse, low gear, neutral) stick on the steering column instead of a console on the right of the driver. I prefer them but they're not made anymore.

RIP Bill Paxton; he pulled off the perfect trifecta. He's the only person to be killed by a Predator, a Terminator, and a Xenomorph.

[@alancranford3398]

I think my favorite Arnie movie was when he got elected governor of California. I saw this movie when it was on its first cinema release. The theater was on Fort Riley and an Army theater. In the US Army "CSM" means "Command Sergeant Major" and my battalion number was 101. The Terminator did remind me of my sergeant major!

[@kevinloftice7805]

I honestly think that Rees just simply changed the course of events and the conditions of them, like it’s likely that the father originally was possibly an anonymous person and Sarah may have become concerned over events that were happening before the war and just taught her son to defend himself if needed.

While I was "down there" pressing the like button I thought I'd leave a comment (listing my favourite three Arnie movies as per your suggestion). 1: Conan the Barbarian (1982) 2: Last Action Hero (1993, Arnie plays a parody fictional movie version of himself who ends up in the real world and it's got Charles Dance as a truly memorable movie villain) 3: it's one of either Total Recall (1990) or True Lies (1994) - bit of a tough one there. Honourable mentions go to Terminator, Terminator 2, Conan the Destroyer (the Conan sequel) & Hercules in New York (1970). A lot of people say Arnie was overdubbed in that film (possibly to support an urban myth that the main reason he spoke so little in Conan was because he was still learning English at the time) but I'm not so sure. It does sound reasonably like him so it's hard to tell. Commando is popular too (especially as it has a competent female sidekick).
