I'm Reese. Sergeant Tech-Com DN38416 | The Terminator [Open Matte, Remastered] 

That cop pretty much called for his own ambulance and didn't even know it. 😆

Michael Biehn as Kyle Reese does such an incredible job. There's a certain intensity, almost manic, in the way he acts. You really get the feeling that this is a man who's spent his entire life fighting the machines, he's laser-focused on his mission and won't let anything stop him.

Kyle Reese is the coolest character.

I love any scene that has Kyle reese

Just one of those nights where the Governor of California is chasing some people for evading taxes

'This is a mistake. I didn't do anything.' 'No, but you will.'

This is what every movie after T2 missed, you had the feeling there was real danger especially with the majority of the movie taking place at night.

RIP Reese. He died like so many soldiers, not ever knowing if his mission succeeded.

I love how in the original Arnie looks and acts like an actual machine. If you look closely, in the scene where Arnie is trying to locate the vehicle Sarah's in, he doesn't just look around, it seems like he's scanning his surroundings for anything that might resemeble his target. He doesn't talk much in the original film either, unlike in T2, in which all he does most the time is shooting the shit with John, like he doesn't have anything better to do.

Imagine what's going through Sarah's head right now during this sequence. Some giant Austrian in punk clothes tried to execute her with a .45 and Uzi and now some bum is literally kidnapping you and claiming that the former that tried to kill you is a cyborg from the future.

Kyle Reese to Sarah Connor: We have to get the chopper!!!!

What a badass Reese is damn

I really wish they'd continued the films sequentially until it all ended with Kyle Reese going through the time machine bringing everything full circle to the beginning of the first film.

I love the way exposition is handled here. There isn’t a calm back and forth with Sarah going “what is going on here?” And Reese explaining perfectly. Instead, they keep the fast paced, frantic action going on. Sarah, as a civilian, acts naturally by being visibly panicked and uncertain of the situation, and Reese keeps having his train of thought interrupted by the chase outside. He feels to be mostly in control of the situation, but it’s obvious by the way he’s speaking, the way he ignores explaining things that Sarah obviously won’t understand, and the swear visibly beading on his face that he’s also under a lot of pressure, trying to evade police, the terminator, and calm and explain the situation to Sarah, all in unfamiliar territory. All of this with quick cuts back to the action so the audience doesn’t feel as though things have suddenly become safe. Reese has to actually evade the cops long enough so he can hide and eventually explain things in more detail. It’s a lot of exposition, but it’s delivered slowly and in a natural way with what’s happening in the actual story.

The actor who plays Kyle is a great actor, I think he's very underated, did he retire? Michael Bignn is his name I think

Thanks, Flashback FM, now I have to go and watch this movie again! For like the T-800th time!

This scene gets even better when you watch it for several times. A couple of things I noticed this time is how Kyle Reese is driving his car without his headlights off. It's incredible because it portrays how he's strategic and adaptable. Strategic because he's harder to spot this way (even to a point a cop has to flash his searchlight to identify it was him), and adaptable, which to me speaks volumes about the worldbuilding of this movie - he can see quite clearly in the night and moving fast at the same time because there were plenty of times when he had to drive cars in the ruins in darkness away from the HKs. If anything, the street lights make it seem like a cakewalk for him, because he definetly has seen way worse. Which in turn builds a character - a soldier who has not known anything but war. All he says to Sarah are commands, his rank and his serial number, which doesn't make a lick of sense to her. How Michael Biehn didn't make it in the big leagues is beyond me.

Arnold is like the great White Shark in this film. Unstoppable and Relentless. No one can stop him, the best you could do is escape.

Fun fact: The cop who got thrown away by T-800 is William Wisher, who would later co-written Terminator Judgement Day

The best Terminator film.

My man's got tired of paying for dinners 2:37

That cop retired and traded in the fast life for a slow photographer gig at the Galeria.

James Cameron is a genius! This movie for the year 1984 is way ahead of it's time

Tech - Com is the resistance .

Anyone notice the whole movie is practically on RU-vid rn via these clips? Lol I love it

Driving with your Lights off That's a Ticket .

Tech-Com barely gets much recognition in most Terminator media, hence why I made a a Terminator Lore channel dedicated to it. It was simply a used once in this scene as well as in Salvation and yet it actually has a great significance to the mythos. Nice job using it in the title of the video.

imagine someone told you that you've been targeted for termination

Best terminator

Fucking awesome movie. Have to see it again.

The actor playing the officer at the start is the same guy that snaps photos of Arnold when the T-1000 throws him through the window in the mall in T2.

One of the best scenes captured on film, ever. Perfect pacing. Like a dance.

2:38 LMAO the way he grabs her head down cracks me up. Hahahaha I can't stop replaying it.

The way how he’s driving the car is so cool

As a big movie lover/buff, I still marvel at The Terminator, because it really is one of the few films that just seems to do everything exceptionally well (acting, score, directing, editing, cinematography, smaller moments) Even the little split second shot of Sarah at 0:42 trying to process everything that’s happening is absolute gold

In Terminator 2 we learn that Skynet has sent two Terminators back in time... one (T-800) to 1984 and the other (T-1000) to 1995... so Kyle Reese was aware of the T-1000 when he was sent back to the past?

That was back when cars were made like tanks! Good ole Detroit steel.

Police officer to Arnold, "hold it! Grunts while getting his head smashed. Daaahh!" Makes me laugh every time

Fun fact that cop is actually the co-writer and also the writer of the novel version.

This is the only movie where you can see such a timid Sarah

Terminator with no eyebrows and burnt hair makes him look like Frankenstein's monster.

Man….. The first Terminator will always be the best Terminator

I just noticed that the Terminator perfectly mimics the voice of the officer he knocked out when answering the police radio. James Cameron, when asked about Arnold's thick austrian accent, said that in the context of the movie, it kind of works, as if Skynet wasn't able to get the voice right for the infiltration units. And then we hear that perfectly replicated voice. Hmmm... :)

DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!?! that's some raw anger right there

Brilliant film and still is today.

Biehn was the best sci fi soldier of all time. That is his movie legacy.

Reese drives insanely well for a guy that comes from a future with very few working vehicles or clear roads.

0:29 is a very good camera shot. The way it captures the car swinging around and the smoke from the rear tires leaves you terrified.

Sergeant Tech-Com Lonely Hearts Club.

"You've been targeted for termination" That phrase alone would send chills down my spine.

That cop is the luckiest man alive. Because the Terminator don't kill him.

Reese's arm just keeps switching positions lol.

2:38 Kyle Reese was multitasking....driving, avoiding the cops and the Terminator *and* he got some head from Sarah Connor.

She couldn't even imagine that kyle will be her soulmate lol 😆 😂 🤣 middle of nowhere

Does anyone know the cop on the police radio is James Cameron ? Well now you do.. Actually that's in part 2...

This is not how you start a date with your future wife Kyle 😂

Is it ever explained how Reese knows cars and has this much skill behind the wheel? Are there a lot of cars in the future to practice with?

I love Terminator

I've been Targeted for Termination Sounds About Right .

the ADR for the cop at the start is SO BAD lol it sounds like some of my student projects. i love it

"Keep your head down!!" *slurpgl*

תודה אדוני🙏🏻

James Cameron is a master at set-up and pay off at 1:47 when he impersonates the cops voice which means later when he is talking to Sarah later on you know he can do that

We need to bring back the keyboard synthyziser for movies in 2020

0:22 - casual KO of the cop is casual And I don't know why, but this part always makes me laugh

yup, those were the days when Cameron knew how to make a great movie with a limited budget...too bad fame got into his head and he sold out to cookie-cutter Hollywood industry later on

Notice almost the whole movie settings were night time. Gave it a more horror effect

1:47 Terminator: (imitating Policeman) This is 1-L-19, westbound on the Olympic, approaching Overland.

9 years left...

Arnold Schwarzenegger's performance is really really really good... He is completely emotionless and the way he moves, speaks give you the feeling that you are not dealing with a human

Linda Hamilton is excellent.

Save the microscopic baby john conner 😢

When Kyle said "Not a robot! Cyborg!" Well, technically, Sarah was right; the Terminator is basically a robot. The flesh its given is merely a disguise for the robot so it can blend in with human society.

You really have to have driven a land yacht from the 60-80s to really appreciate how good the driving in this movie is.

1L-19 description is so good and clear that i can understand every single word that he said even though i am from Greece... "This is 1L-19 i v' got a hit and run felony! Suspect vehicle late model Gray Ford on the Westbound and 7th? He is really moving punching lights alI the way! I am gonna need an ambulance at 7th and Broadway! Right now!My English is really good but every time i visit my relatives in Boston i have a hard time to pick up what they say immediately

Awesome 😎 movie 🎥

Cool drifts

Great 👍 film

1:30 "im here to help you" look at her reaction! 🙂

1:24 - "I sure hope no one is coming around that corner."

I thought Kyle Reese was awesome

Great warrior kyle reese

man 1984 was such a good year for movies

If the terminator is referred to as model 101, why does everyone keep calling it the the T-800? Throughout the entire series it's called T-101.

0:05 that cop was back in t2 during the galleria scene as one of the people photographing the t800 getting pushed out a store window

80s gritty scene

What I noticed about car chase Scens is that Everyone knows how to thrift .

lol when reese is talking to sarah u can see his hand on the wheel just repeatedly swinging it around

The cop is the same guy who photographs Arnie in the Galleria in T2

0:17 this offircer is William Wisher, product this movie with James Cameron and Anne Gale Hurd He appears in T2, in galleria scene

Interesting character.

This open matte version looks so good. Wondering if there's a way to purchase this version of the film.

Oh gosh, so much for officer friendly. R.I.P 1L19

Look darlin, Johnny Ringo.

1:07 Kyle asked calmly

sure you’re gonna need an ambulance right away for your head

HE’S NOT A MAN!! A Machine! TERMINATOR!

1:17この映画を見た時このシーンが一番怖かった。歩行者をはねちまうんじゃないかと。

Terminator 1.

Well the T-800 at least didn’t kill the officer
