The 80s. Real stunts and real locations. No CGI and fewer soundstage sets

[@Bonde7280]

CGI has been used in movies since 1958. You are kidding your self.

[@kalasmournrex1470]

@@Bonde7280 computer graphics in 1958 consisted of drawing green lines on 5 inch circular displays. Might want to check your dates or learn what CGI means.

[@jmalmsten]

Filming at night with contrast rich film and spraying down the streets with water to get the most of the blue lights and some smoke here and there does help make things look much cooler. I am pretty sure you can get a very similar look today at those locations using similar gear and filming schedule.

[@ZetaReticuli_]

True. That was before cities were be remade with all the gentrification and heavy handed central planning of today. Cities were a bit grittier back then, but had more character somehow.

[@ZetaReticuli_]

I just want you to know that you have made a 90's kid born in the mid 80's very emotional and happy with this video. The Terminator and T2 are still my favorite movies, more than 30 years later since I've seen them for the first time. Since then I must have seen each of them, well over 300 times. I will one day visit LA to see many of these locations myself, so thank you for putting the exact addresses in the video. Out of all things, I really want to sit where Arnold sat at the beginning, to see that beautiful LA view at night! Thanks again for this gem of a video!

[@estebancruz6194]

Hope you can visit one day. Spring time or after summer is the best. Not hot, not cold.

[@PatrickDoran2319]

Two other locations that I discovered which were used for filming was 6000 S Boyle Ave, Vernon, CA and the Panama Hotel 403 E 5th St, Los Angeles, CA. The area in Vernon was used for the Police Station massacre sequence. The Panama Hotel on the other hand was used for the graphic scenes where the Terminator does the self repair scenes where he removed the damaged eyeball and repaired his ruptured arm.

[@PersonalityMalfunction]

The two locations I was looking forward to seeing! I'll have to Google Earth those. Thanks cap!

The interior of the "robotics factory" was actually the old "Kerns" canning company that was located over here in the City of Industry 13010 E. Temple Ave. Since then it's been several other incarnations. The machinery seen in the film is obviously canning equipment, metal & steel presses.

20 years ago, I went on vacation to California and drove around Los Angeles. When I got home (Poland), I went to the cinema to see Terminator 3. It was amazing, but many of the places I saw live appeared in the film. I had a completely different experience with this movie.

Ken Marschall painted those mountains! Amazing artist who worked on Spacehunter and Titanic, as well as Raise the Titanic. He is the #1 expert on painting the Titanic. He did many matte paintings for movies including Terminator and just about anything James Cameron has worked on prior to CGI.

[@sigguy1361]

That was my first thought when I saw that alley - it looked like the same one from P-2... cool!

[@Skauber]

In the movie the alley and streets were filled with garbage and rubbish, was it really like that in the 80s, or was the clutter just added for dramatic effect by the film crew?

[@mksolid82]

The two trees from the Sarah scooter scene were the same with a little more age to them. And the Spartan Burger was really cool. I always liked how the little toy truck that Arnold runs over resembles the truck that the T-1000 uses to chase John Conner in T2. James Cameron was also a truck driver once. This was really cool, thanks for posting.

[@williamzoom]

The toy truck was the same model truck stolen by the Terminator at the end of the movie a International Transtar cabover!

[@80sLife]

Yeah I was really excited to see that those trees still matched up

[@RID01S]

The T2 tow truck was a Freightliner and so was the long nose tanker truck

[@garrisonnichols807]

The Terminator is one of my favorite films. I like how the first film had alot of horror elements to it and the fact it was a suspenseful mystery half way through the film before it turns into a complete action flick. It's also cool that most of the movie takes place at night. Sure some of the special effects are dated but the fact that this movie was made on such a shoe string budget it's actually very impressive. Stan Winston did a amazing job with the T-800 and you really believe there's a metallic endosekelenton underneath Arnold Schwarzenegger's skin. Casting Schwarzenegger as the Terminator was a stroke of genius because in the original concept James Cameron saw the Terminator as a chameleon who could blend into a crowd unnoticed. Lance Henriksen was originally going to play the part but when James Cameron met Arnold he realised his mistake and gave it to Schwarzenegger instead. Arnold Schwarzenegger sure can't hide into a crowd very well but it doesn't matter much. He brought this idea of an unstoppable killing machine just by being such a large muscular man.

[@d.lloyd8188]

Excellent job! I'm a screenwriter. Just got my first paid gig working with a certain Academy Award Winning actor. I spend half the year in LA...and I've gone to EVERY LOCATION you mentioned in this video, to draw transcendent inspiration from one of the most iconic motion pictures ever made, THE TERMINATOR. I thought I was the only person who did stuff like this. We may have to find you work as a location scout on some productions in the future.

I really enjoy filming location videos, but this might be the best I've ever seen. Really detailed and informative. This is how filming location videos should be - the gold standard.

[@flashy5150]

Great video of my favorite Terminator movie. I still remember when I first saw the movie. I was at my uncle’s cottage in Northern Ontario Canada and he only had a small tv and a vcr for entertainment. So, when me and my family went into town for groceries, we saw that they had VCR movies for rent at the hardware store, so that was the movie I picked and my sister picked “The Wild Life”. That afternoon, we watched movies, and I watched the “Terminator” twice. I loved that movie, and as a 13 year old boy in 1984, I liked Bess Motta from “The 20-Minute Workout” ,who played Sarah Connor’s friend and roommate that got killed.

[@Warlama]

being able to go back and see how all these places have changed (or how little they have changed) is always amazing something about it resonates with me.

[@BrettonFerguson]

I like to go to places from when I was a kid in the 80s and teenager in the 90s and see how they have changed. If I can't go there in person I will sometimes use Google Earth or Google Street View to look around.

[@XboxJoint]

I live in littlerock and all the locals love telling people both terminator movies were filmed here. The gas station just right down the street from this one is where they filmed terminator 2, where Sara is removing the bullets from Arnold’s back in the abandoned gas station.

Thanks for putting this together. I remember seeing Terminator as a teenager, and its sequel changed my life - I changed my career path to work in visual effects, and actually worked for and briefly met James Cameron at his effects company, Digital Domain, in the 90s. Interesting that the gun shop address is 14329, and the first Sarah Connor is at 14239.

[@Deno2100]

Everything about this is an overdose of nostalgia. It makes me want to go back to earlier times. In some of which I wasn't even born yet. I do feel extremely grateful being a 90s kid though. To live before the cellphone and computer addictions. I feel like it was another world.

[@cookncrook6902]

[@TheRplatts]

Amazing video mate! T1 and the T2 vid ! Never been to America unfortunately but if I ever got the chance seeing all these locations would be a dream! Great work

[@bespectacledheroine7292]

Thanks for filming and sharing, this was wicked cool. The locations really are a character unto themselves and this is a solid reminder not everything changes as much as we like to complain. I'll have to make a mental note to visit Spartan Burger if I ever find myself in LA.

Thank you!

"Listen, and understand. That terminator is out there, it cant be bargained with, it cant be reasoned with, it doesn't feel pity or remorse or fear, and it absolutely will not stop............EVER, untill you are dead!!!!!"

Best line in all the movies.

Cyborgs don't feel pain. I do. Don't do that again...

That's a line from the film, yes. Your point is....

This has to be one of the best Terminator film location guides on KZbin. Thank you. 👍

[@laszloposzmik5829]

I feel myself like in "The Silend Age" android game. Jump 40 years backward and forward makes me feels so good. Especially, this movie is one of my all time favourite. Never get bored to watch again and again. Thank for making this video, good job.

[@figuenew]

Thank you for another awesome video! Just letting you know that your hard work and dedication to make videos such as these are extremely appreciated :) Too bad the mountains were torn down tho 😔 ...just kidding!...nice one at the end of the video! 😂🤣✌🏻

[@80sLife]

Haha. Thank you. That really means a lot to me. Seriously

[@Heka41]

One of my favorite films ever, great video

[@80sLife]

Thank you!!

[@hammertime104]

the most detailed terminator filming locations video i've ever watched. awesome! one of my favorite movies!

[@brentgath4447]

Fantastic video! Very cool to see some things haven't changed much. Thanks for putting in the time and effort to film this.

Fun fact: The code that appears onscreen at 10:37 is assembly language from a 6502 CPU. I'd lay odds it's from an Apple II program, based on the start address of $4000 (decimal 16384) which was a common location for machine language routines. Probably some sort of disk utility, because of its reference to the VTOC (Volume Table of Contents). _Swats at big neon sign over head_ Shoo! Go away! Sorry... my "NERD" sign was showing. I think I've chased it off for now. 🤣 Also, I think I sort of dated myself, didn't I? I'm 51. I grew up in the C64 / Apple II / Atari 800 era (and taught myself how to program them all).

[@waltherstolzing9719]

Yeah, precisely. Someone made a video about this too, tracking down the code to a program listing in a contemporary Apple II magazine: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4PRn52lnriJY7c

[@wardoc2004]

Actually, $4000, on an Apple II, is hi-res page 2 and $2000 (8192) is hi-res page 1. Many programmers, to simulate motion or movement would draw on one page and display said page while drawing the next picture on the other page then flip back and forth between them. Applesoft Basic was loaded into memory areas $D000 (53248) - F7FF (63487) (unless you also loaded up Integer Basic. All the DOS 3.x routines are at $9600 (38400) - $BFFF (49151). Applesoft Basic programs start at $0800 (2048). The free areas for user programs are $0300 (768) - $03FF (1023) and $0800 (2048) - $1FFF (8191). Most machine language routines occurred from $C000 (49152) and beyond. Woz was a master of doing more with less.

[@wardoc2004]

Another interesting thing relates to Integer Basic was that values were limited from -32767 to 32767. Therefore, if you had a POKE or PEEK statement to an area above these values, you had to subtract said memory location from 65536. For example, the location for reading a single keystroke is $C000 (49152). Since 49152 is too big, you subtract it from 65536 you get -16384. Therefore, both POKE 49152 and POKE -16384 are valid in Applesoft Basic but only POKE -16384 is valid in Integer Basic.

seen it plenty of times before but I still enjoy your content

Thank you

[@raymondarcon6262]

Cool video! Thanks for sharing all of the inside info on the Terminator filming locations. Very interesting seeing all that. 👍

Thank you for restoring something that looked nearly impossible to restore. Sometimes sad and hurting people need to see things like this be fixed.
