THE TERMINATOR (1984) First Time Watching! Movie Reaction!

[@miamicool666]

You have understood very well the meaning of "Combining business with pleasure."

[@Jeedyy]

I like it when you're walking somewhere far away and watching a movie at the same time. It's the coolest thing ever.

[@Jem-Reacts]

Exactly...!!! 🤣 And I don't need to worry about crossing the streets 🤣🤣🤣

[@rainbowpegacornstudios]

*My favorite bit of comedy is in the apartment as the landlord asks about the odor coming from the room. The Terminator cycles through possible responses and comes up with "Fuck you, asshole", which is a nod to the scene where The Terminator first arrived and encountered/slaughtered that gang of thugs led by Bill Paxton.*

[@Jem-Reacts]

Oh Right...!!! I didn't notice the relationship with the first scene. That's so cool 🤣

[@rainbowpegacornstudios]

@Jem-Reacts it's a slightly less than subtle yet hilarious parallel

[@TheNextStep851]

Kyle was in love with Sarah because he was told all kinds of stories about the type of woman she was by John, as well as being given the picture. John had to ensure that Kyle fell for her so that Kyle would volunteer to go back, ensuring his own existence. It was a post-apocalyptic world where machines hunt down humans, so it's not like Kyle could exactly ask a woman out for dinner lol. I think it's a shame they didn't use the same make-up in Arnold's eye scene as they did when he was in the truck near the end, and then just use the animatronic head for the red eye close-ups. It looked a lot better.

[@emmanueletoumongo8788]

Yeah Terminator good movie 👍

[@krono5el]

as a little boy i loved my terminator toys and movies, they were so amazing especially if you're a kid who loves movie magic and effects. also Arnie is our hero.

[@snakeeyes5638]

You almost lost the battle against the machines to the treadmill 😎

[@Jem-Reacts]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ApocryphalBob]

"The psychology guy just leaves!?" Don't worry. He'll be back! 😎

[@Jem-Reacts]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 You killed me

[@emurphy42]

She knew how to activate the hydraulic press because she bumped into one earlier.

[@ettcha]

The 'Toy' terminator was used because they wanted to make the robot eye move convincingly. The best they could do using an actor was how they did Arnold in the truck, a piece that couldn't move that would look obviously stuck to his face in a straight on shot, especially if they added the mechanisms to move the eyeball. There were ways to do it better back then but that would have been a lot of labour, time and money.

[@lewisner]

In T2 when we see the Terminators "Half Face in the steel mill his robot eye is obviously just a light bulb over his real eye. It looks awful beside the other SFX.

Думай, что пишешь! Не надо спойлеров!

[@mariagerardino3442]

Yes yes yes,😮😮😮

[@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: The crew had "You can't scare me, I work for James Cameron." t-shirts made. Casting Notes 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. Make-Up Shenanigans 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 make-up with a missing eye, exposed jawbone and burned flesh. Gun Enthusiast Fact: Arnold Schwarzenegger worked with guns every day for a month to prepare for the role. The first two weeks of filming he practiced weapons stripping and reassembly blindfolded until the motions were automatic, like a machine. He spent hours at the shooting range and practiced with different weapons without blinking or looking at them when reloading or cocking. He also had to be ambidextrous. He practiced different moves up to 50 times. He wound up garnering a compliment in Soldier Of Fortune magazine for his realistic handling of the guns on camera (whereas the magazine usually lampoons movies for their inaccurate depictions of weapons use).

[@Thrashaero]

terminator really set the ai movies in motion among others in the 80s

[@Jem-Reacts]

Do you know if Terminator was the first movie with the AI vs Humans, plot?

[@bobbombar6711]

No blade runner ('82) or technicaly 2001('70) would thake that alocade. O.j. Simpson was originally up for the part of the terminator but was nixed as to unbelievable. Arnie read for kyle's part but decided to plat the terminator instead. He also got props from actual gun users on how he handeled the guns in the film.​@Jem-Reacts

[@Thrashaero]

@@bobbombar6711 thanks for reminding me, also let's not forget the old fashion movies with goofy robots out of control in the story. 🤖 hell, frankenstein too 🧟‍♂ tho in recent times terminator first couple or few movies are a pillar in entertainment about evil ai in the cyborg version.

[@bobbombar6711]

@Thrashaero I was think of a.i./robots specifically . What broght2001 to mind is the line "Open the pod bay door hal" & Hal reply " I'm sorry Dave. I cannot do that"

[@Thrashaero]

@@bobbombar6711 you're right. i guess i should have been more specific to say terminator is more in the cyborg realm of ai. where hal is a program speaking through an obvious computer and terminator sort of changed that with more human presence

[@JJgibson1]

Check out the movies Predator(1987) and Terminator 2: Judgment Day(1991).

[@Jem-Reacts]

Already on the schedule. Very soon. Thanks so much.

[@brandonflorida1092]

The limitations in the special effects aren't only because it's 1984. It was also a relatively low budget movie. By the way, you're very perceptive. You figured out a lot very quickly.

[@Jem-Reacts]

You are the second person to tell me that, and now I appreciate them more, It's not easy to make a movie with special effects and low budget that can become what this movie became. It has earned my respect 👍

[@WilliamTheUnkownShoutout]

I am a new subscriber and I hope to see a first time reaction to The Exorcist (1973) and Jaws (1975) and The Omen (1976) and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) and The Shining (1980) and Alien (1979) and Alligator (1980) and The Thing (1982) and Aliens (1986) and Child's Play (1988) and Pumpkinhead (1988) and Tremors (1990) and Terminator 2 Judgement Day (1991) and A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984) and Friday The 13th (1980) and Predator (1987) and Predator 2 (1990) when Jem Reacts is ready to react to all of these movies just for fun as well:).

[@Jem-Reacts]

Hahaha... It looks like you already booked next year videos 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@hawkeye6626]

LOL You were making me seasick! I recommend watching the theatrical version of Terminator 2. Great reaction, and continued success!😎

[@Jem-Reacts]

I hope the content of your stomach, stayed in your stomach 🤣. I'll look for the theatrical version. I didn't know there was one.

[@Thrashaero]

@@Jem-Reacts i think the official one on youtube is it but anything mentioning extended or director cut isnt. some extra scenes are ok but others feel redundant, unpolished to me.

[@waynet1022]

Ooh I got a mention. 👍 I agree the special effects weren't the best in this, but I think it is more of a budget thing than the year. Terminator 2 had a much larger budget with a great plot so you should definitely watch that.

[@Jem-Reacts]

I'll do that very soon. I already scheduled it right after the Christmas movie. 👍 Thank you so much for everything ❤️

[@ryanhill-u3z]

hey can you please wear gloves and do a movie reaction to Austin powers international man of mystery can you watch the movie right away

[@ralfuz777]

Wow you must be really, really young!!

[@aranerem5569]

Great movie

[@MyBrainDontWork920]

This is a great movie! Only outdone by it's sequel *Terminator 2: Judgement Day*. There are a bunch of "sequels" after T2, but they are all differing levels of bad. Terminator (1984) and Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991) are MUST WATCHES! You've already watched one, you must must MUST watch the second :) As always, love your reactions and your ever-positive demeanor! Keep up the great work! Can't wait to say I was there when she had less than 200 subs! :)

[@Thrashaero]

the movie sound is coming through the left speaker only

[@Jem-Reacts]

Thanks, I'll take a look into that. I'm new with editing, so I'm still learning.

[@Thrashaero]

@@Jem-Reacts Wow, finally someone who notices and thanks my constructive criticism.😲 Did hell freeze over?

[@SkemeKOS]

Way before you were born?? You look about 25

[@Braurul]

Jem, you shouldn't have asked him to put some clothes on :)

[@Jem-Reacts]

It distracts me from my goal, which is understanding the movie 🤣

[@Jeedyy]

the police are very strong if you speak anti-government slogans =)

[@saturno1985able]

you on the thread mill is very annoying .

[@joemaxwell3902]

I was going to say "distracting"

[@Jem-Reacts]

I appreciate your feedback! Walking while filming keeps me energized while creating content. I hope you can still enjoy the content despite the movement.

[@saturno1985able]

@@Jem-Reacts Well I hope you take feedback somewhat seriously, while it keeps you energized it keeps most of your viewers dizzy, have seen a few reactors try the same thing with the opposite effect otherwise intended. any content cannot be enjoyed while being distracted.

[@Jon_Nadeau_]

You gotta watch Terminator 2! it's one of the few sequels thats superior to the original. After 2 you can stop because the rest suck. lol Also great reaction as always!

[@tokatgibi]

Terminator 2 is better. Terminator 2 is the best movie in cinema history Watch and SEE

[@jamesellis701]

Seeing your mic jiggle like that is very distracting

[@АндрейИммель]

Это формат такой с колеблющейся красотой?

[@Jem-Reacts]

Да, это такой уникальный формат - красота в движении! 🎥✨ Надеюсь, вам понравится такой подход, он добавляет энергии и динамики в видео. Спасибо за ваш комментарий!

[@АндрейИммель]

В таком случае жду следующего видео. И по возможности в облегающем топике.
