Kyle Reese Arrival | The Terminator [Open Matte, Remastered] 

Where can I find the whole "open matte" version movie?

i NEED THIS OPEN MATTE VERSION

What does this "open matte" mean, in laymen's terms? I have recently watched The Terminator in a great remastered blu ray version, but it had horizontal borders on top and at bottom as most films has on my 16:9 screen. Would love to have more movies actually use all of my screen space but not if some of the picture is cropped. Just trying to understand if "open matte" is like a "Best of two worlds" kind of thing :)

Flashback FM , Hey buddy , did you just see a real bright light ?

you just stretched the picture, both frames show exactly the same crop, but now the aspect ratio is fucked..

What do you expect from a machine that has no feelings or remorse. Going through the time displacement device was like walking through a door for terminators

It gives the impression that the machines knew exactly what they were doing when they sent T-800 back, but the humans were basically just guessing with Kyle.

@@masonhancock5350 It's not my fault your father never loved you

You forget the fact that humans feel pain when going through.

@@willchurch8376 They brought Kyle in high, they wanted to be sure not to materialize him into sold rock.

Dang. Would've loved that. Reminds me of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. Haha

Should have kept it!

@@TheAwesomeDarkNinja That scene is here on RU-vid if you look for it. I saw it a few nights ago. They should have left it in.

The alley he landed in was absolutely shit. Not that much different from the apocalypse future lol

@@VashtheStampede007 yeh must have been skid row

yep

No, not me.

Haha yeah even Marty McFly

@@ankushshetty Kyle's looked more badass

Those were some nice shoes though

They won't give up chasing a suspect so easily, especially one that stole a cop's gun.

Hey serve and protect

Glad to see they're considerate

That's the most inaccurate thing about this movie.

@@neighborhoodmusicsnob5517 He assaulted a police officer and stole his gun. A lot more cops would show up then this.

He is just one of the most under appreciated actors of all time. His roles in The Terminator and Aliens, should have made him a star. Jim Cameron actually fired another actor originally playng Hicks and told his then wife and producer Gale Anne Hurd, to call Michael Biehn and offer him the part. He was flown to England and started shooting the next day.

Always will be my favorite action hero.

one of them at least. It's too bad he wasn't offered other action roles.

@@writer46m72 What do you mean? He has pretty much done nothing but action roles. Always playing a soldier or a cop. And even a cowboy twice. Aliens, The Abyss, Tombstone The Rock, Navy Seals. What is really too bad is that he has never been recognized as the great dramatic actor he also is. He should have had a career like Ryan Reynolds instead of remaining unknown to most people.

He played a pretty good villain in Abyss too.

For a terminator, time travel is the equivalent of a nice night for a walk.

It may sometimes depend on the time machine. The machine in Terminator is a huge “weapon” so it makes sense for a human to be in pain from using it, whereas if it were like a walk-in pod, maybe the trip would be less painful/overwhelming, just a bit of a daze.

@@DEthe5150 Nice night for a walk.

Then in genesis they show up get hit by a car and are perfectly fine

@@JoshPadgett Subjects that go through the TDE process are coated in foul smelling, bio-conductive gel. They then step onto a magnetic platform & giant rings begin to gyrate around the subject, gradually picking up speed until the rings form an orb. This creates massive arcs of energy, which proceed to strike the subject. The gel eventually burns into a fine white powder by the time the subject arrives at its destination. That's the reason for the excruciating pain Reese was in when he arrived. Landing on solid pavement didn't help either!

Yeah, the guy in Genysis was horrible casting. Didnt have any of the qualities Michael Biehn had.

Hahahahah so true, Kyle Reese cannot be muscular nor sane, Genesys is so ridiculous and insulting

yeah, that guy from Genysis looks like he was taken off from a men underwear magazine

And notice Michael Biehn also played a soldier from the future in Aliens.

Genyshit

Just a shame Kyle does appear in only one scene in T2

@@alessiocataldi2434 In the director's cut, yeah. He should've been in the final cut of the film. Damn, why.

he's a simp then

@@wistic237 Just shut up.

Yeah! he came alright

What is HK ?

Patrick Caville Hunter Killer drones

@@Samuel33042 the one appearing in T3 ?

Patrick Caville Yeah they’re also the one in T3, but specifically in T1 they are seen in the future war where there are HK drones flying around using their spotlights to spot survivors. There’s a scene where Kyle Reese is chased while in a car and get blown by the HK.

I always thought it was convenient that while the future had nothing but rubble, you'd spend most your time crouched and running around. I always thought that in my mind as how he escaped the cops in the store.

thats when something is masterpiece. just no mistakes in movie.

Or they saw a broke James Cameron shooting a movie without a permit and didn't want to be in the shot.

@@thegrimyeaper a lot of this was one guerilla style. So you're most likely right. Or they didnt see Cameron just saw the gun.

that and how he slows down to walk and have the bum between him and the oncoming cop car to help cover him. great viewing

Cool., Ive never noticed that before. And Ive probably seen this movie at least 30 times.

Yeah. Still beats me how he somehow broke into a police car, stole a shotgun, and ran off without the police even knowing. Obviously, the new technology makes breaking into a police car without being noticed, not mentioning stealing weapons and escaping without a trace, near impossible to do, but I'm pretty it was still extremely hard in the 80s. But he was raised in an apocalyptic land and had to sneak around just to evade machinery, so I guess he had an advantage with that.

​@@cutercills9x9creates65Well it helps if the cop car is unlocked, which it was. Add on the fact that Kyle was mad sneaky due to avoiding HKs his whole life. I'd say it's possible for him to dodge a dozen or so humans

@@Killabear-en2xqwell and I think him having hopped down right by that cop car and it being unlocked was a bit of luck too. One detail I like is that Reese saws the stock of the gun off because it’s clearly sticking out the bottom of his coat when he runs off with it

And....NAVY SEALS!

And the ROCK!

His speech in The Rock movie was amazing.

And in “The Mandalorian”

His performance in Tombstone should at least have got him nominated for some kind of award.

Lamaw

He has a multiplier bonus for previously defeating T-800s.

hes a soldier , military training make always the difference.

By now he has lvl 50 at least because of future war. Taking new weapons and clothes in small amount of time is nothing hard for him

He's lvl 100 by the end, his titanium balls cost him his neck.

From Reese's point of view he was taken from one nightmare he was familiar with to a new unknown nightmare.

@Ironclaw XII That's so true, people tend to romanticize the 80s but it was a very troublesome period. As you said, NYC was a shithole and it changed only after Rudolph Giuliani became the mayor!

Well put

@@rojaws1183 exactly

@@ankihansen2489 good good point

If only they did that more in movies.

@AltairGalaxy not all cgi is bad. Some things are impossible to pull off without cg.

You don't have to see it, you hear it O.o

That stunt double had to fall 6 ft on to cement…with no padding or protection! That had to hurt!

@AltairGalaxy that's the worst part. People who become too lazy to do their own things and use cgi for everything even just a character who could've had someone dress or have props for

That is something T1 did really well, giving its world a sense of impending doom.

Colors of America: red, white, and blue.

Search-lights going to and fro.

I was gonna say, also gives contemporary LA (at the time) a very cyberpunk look

You mean L.A.

Ol' shovelface is mr blands name

Yeah. It's crazy how that guy keeps getting cast in high profile movies. He is a terrible actor. God forbid they sweat in movies either.

Yes, intense pain. The Wisher paperback movie tie in had Reese mentally comparing it to getting his 'nuts kicked up into his chest cavity'--not overly specific but really evocative.

@@johnsmith-wx5fb Mr. Bland is just too 'fit'. Here Biehn looks and moves like a 'feral' cat.

robinson xlnt not really

Still the best Terminator film.

Michael Biehn is the only Kyle Reese since Salvation and Genysis are not connected to Judgement day

you guys forgot, michael biehn has always problems with drugs and alcohol

Michelino Sports Drugs ? I never read that anywhere . I know he had problems with alcohol though. The original actor cast to play Hicks in Aliens (James Remar) was fired for problems to do with drug use. Then obviously replaced by Michael Biehn.

2-4-5 TRIOXIN: The difference imo is that T1 is a SciFi/Horror movie and T2 is SciFi/Action. I liked T2 but loved T1.

I loved T1 in the theater in 1984, and have loved it since. When I finally watched T2 recently, I could only stand 30 minutes before going straight to the ending. It's an awful movie.

I watched T2 before T1. It honestly boils down to your tastes - if you like horror, T1 does it best. Meanwhile T2 is more explosions and action.

Sam Brasel Yes. T1 and T2 are very different movies. T1 = outmatched humans vs unstoppable monster. T2 = good monster vs bad monster. I find the whole Dyson subplot in T2 to be very long and very boring. The subplot in T2 also breaks the pace and build up of tension. The original movie keeps the pace and tension build up going from start to finish. Its always focused on the outmatched protagonists trying desperately to stay one step ahead of the Terminator. In T2 the pace and tension build up is broken when the story deviates into the Dyson subplot. Also in T2 the protagonists have an actual Terminator to protect them. The protagonists in T1 are more vulnerable. They have nothing to protect themselves except trying to take pot shots at the Terminator to slow it down so they can put some space between themselves and it. And the weapons they have are basically useless. Its bloody brilliant. T1 is the perfect Terminator movie really. The whole movie is 100 percent focused on the outmatched protagonists, desperately trying to stay one step ahead of the Terminator, and gradually we see the Terminator waring them down and catching up to them, right up to the point where the Terminators figers are inches away from Sarah's throat. The film is brilliantly done. T1 is humans vs machine. Simple, focused, perfectly paced and intense. T2 is machine vs machine and mother and son. Its drama with over the top flashy action scenes, fun and humour thrown in.

@@sbrasel You must be the first person I've ever seen who said T2 is bad. Wow. But I am gonna admit that it's overappreciated. Try watching the movie thoroughly before you judge if you haven't yet. I'll say they made John Connor way too whiny (I get that he's a kid, but he hardly developed at all throughout the film) my second biggest issue with it is the dragging Miles Dyson side plot, but it was also the strongest at the same time.

Courtney's Reese wasn't a soldier from the future. He was a whining drama queen

@Pedro Sepulveda wrong reply

he looks pretty lean, skinny but strong

I've always wondered where he got the big circular scar on his back. But it tells us without a word that Kyle's been through some serious shit

If that's what you consider an average physique then I dont even want to know what you consider out of shape...

Yeah I wish there was a prequel that would tell more of Kyle's experiences in the war against the machines.

A.J Thomas I fully agree

a true legend

The actor also has an important role in Alien 2.

@@a.jthomas6132 forgote thes Dark fate destroy this franchise storyline

The audio quality feels old but that's about it.

The music and audio is old af.

@@Xpistos510 Only to a Young Dumb Fuck like yourself.

@@UCHMwCc-lwhGBuemXjy015Jw yeah you're dumb

Brace Yourself or maybe it sounds old because the movie is old. There’s nothing wrong with that, every film ages

Yes, but I love the idea that no one cares what she carries under her sweater and they don't see the barrel sticking out. Watching The Shawshank Redemption? There, no one even saw the prisoner come out of the cell in patent-leather shoes. Because nobody looks at the shoes. It's the same story with Grace, you can walk around with a gun under a sweater as much as you like, but no one will notice.

Tbh, Grace had stolen some clothes to masquerade as a security guard.

And most importantly, seduce her enough to impregnate her, unknowlingly. :D

@@ElBandito What if Kyle didn't fuck her for some reason? John Cornor would just vanish from existence lol.

Don't forget that he volunteered for the time travel. It was his own choice.

I mean the world he was coming from was post apocalyptic and was run by killer machines. The 80s had to be a dream by comparison

He didn't have shotgun and took it only by a good opportunity

They truly live. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

A cop losing his gun is like a sacrilegious act. It's a no no..

It was hilarious hearing him ramble in the alley before Reese came, like something out of a grand theft auto game

@@mikeg2491 "ahhhhh don't have to put up with that booooollsheeet maaan" hahahahaha.

Reese hiding from the cops with flashlights is a foreshadowing to how he evades the HKs with their plasma cannons. He’s the ultimate survivor

That's what I say every morning when I wake up.

Frankie Gee it was Sunday, May 12, 1984.

@@korrblank1361 It was a Saturday.

At least Kyle was glad it wasn't 2029.

He should've picked up a random newspaper just like Marty McFly would have.

Not underrated in any way whatsoever, someone always has say it

The Roo don’t be that one guy

@@YuhZnuyi what one guy, someone always has say it's underrated about someting infinitely popular

The Roo I agree with you 100 percent but I still feel like his performance got overshadowed by Arnold’s

@@YuhZnuyi Arnold is the titular character and everyone loves a good villain, plus it's the role that defined him and the one where people sat up and started taking him a little more seriously. Biehn and Hamilton were solid in this too

Nice

Michael attended Dublin Comic Con a few years ago but did not turn up on the Sunday. We missed him. Crushed......

Few things are more satisfying than meeting actors from movies you grew up with and having them spend time with you just to have a relaxing and friendly chat. Kudos to Mr Biehn for being a gentleman.

@MarceloMedeiros-iv2xi, the original has an absolutely stellar cast, all round

Excellently said man.

He couldn’t afford to become distracted, the fate of all humanity was resting on his shoulders. From the minute he arrived in the past he wasn’t distracted, he just went straight to the mission of finding Sarah

I don't think there's a stuntman there but Biehn himself, based on his physique at that time I don't think Biehn wouldn't be able to do this stunt by himself if you wanna call this a stunt

@@DeDasilva81 I very much disagree. If it was Biehn then they would’ve taken advantage of it and not obscured his landing with the cop car. They’d want to show off the fact that it’s him. Also, just because he CAN do the stunt doesn’t mean that they’d want to use him. If something even slightly goes wrong then that’s one of the lead actors injured and filming severely affected. This is primarily why they use stunt actors, not to do what actors can’t, but because actors are too essential to risk injuring.

@@garyking1986 You seem to know a lot of stuff about movies! I can agree with you after you explained this to me with good points! I always enjoy learning new stuff! Thanks!

@@DeDasilva81 Aww thanks, man! I'm not the most knowledgable person in general, but my movie knowledge is something I pride myself on. I'm glad I could educate you on something as simple as that. Have a great day, friend.

@@kylereese5869 Kyle Reese? You're ok? How's the afterlife?

Totally 🥰

Still there are people who didn't guess that Reese was the good guy until he saved Sarah at Tech Noir

1980s movie music is the best

I've listened to the entire soundtrack and it really does tell the story and take the listener on a journey - absolute fantastic composition which compliments this movie tremendously. What a masterpiece.

This was intentional - it made a cat and mouse kind of thing where no-one could tell what they wanted Sarah for (Sarah was defenceless and completely naive).

​@@UrAverageFR_TeenWithin the movie, it was Sara herself who didn't know who the good guy was until Arnie pointed it out to her.

Totally. Michael Biehn's Kyle is lean and mean. Like a feral cat. The other is like an inflated cantaloup.

Yep. Always will be.

The best is Terminator 2: Judgement Day

I agree with You. Definitly

@@juanmiguelfernandez9730 nop t1 is much better, it's a genius movie

@@Shadow-br4qx My best is The Terminator, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, Terminator Genysis and Terminator Dark Fate

I had a pair like them. Except they were black with a golden nike logo back in 1985 when I was in the 5th grade.

Always wanted that Long green coat, the black and white Nike Vandals and the Gargoyle sunglasses.

@@knightwind5967 You can't wear a long coat these days. They will think that you are a school shooter. In the early 2000's this was the "I'm going to buy porn" outfit.

H. 19 I saw that also!! The attention to detail in this film is amazing

Yeah damn, they back off. Smart civilians lol

Dam,nice catch

Probably just shot it raw and those were really peeps walking and not extras

@@guybrushgetchell2945 isnt that a typical reaction though? Is it safe to assume you're equally impressed when they have the actor say, "GOD DAMN" when arnie exits his room walking down the hallway yielding his guns?

Still not as bad as the future I'm assuming.

@@mkphotofilm Always a good choice. Had a Do0m movie been made in the '90s (there were murmurs of such), Mike - not Arnie - should have played Do0mguy. Or alternatively, Tom Berenger. They both actually look like Do0mguy!

The protagonists in this film were ordinary scared humans, not the brave superheroes of later films.

@@rojaws1183 yeah man thats it.

The thing is that horror never took off as a blockbuster genre unlike sci-fi action. Cameron modeled the first movie after Halloween and that still doesn't sell anywhere near as much.

@I'm just a dog But like his son, he can be worried about an future war

I don't know how it feels to have two way time travel either......let alone one way.

I somewhat do.

@trajan hercules Well where I live, if you attack a cop and steal their gun, there'd be a national manhunt for you. Also, I'm sure the police were alerted to begin with due to reports of the T-800 walking around naked. The patrols probably assumed that Kyle was the naked cyborg.

They thought he was an exhibitionist.

They were responding to electrical disturbances

Absolutely

@MarceloMedeiros-iv2xi, Genisys was a big miss. Nothing touches the original. T2 was entertaining as was T3. Salvation was daft as was Genisys. Dark Fate was entertaining. I enjoyed The Sarah Chronicles.

@MarceloMedeiros-iv2xi, wish they'd just leave it alone. Not one film made any sense after the untouchable original. It was because storytelling was completely replaced for moneymaking.

I'm all for calling out shitty cgi but even today, in most cases a stunt man would be used. Modern films are shittier to older ones for other, more important reasons.

Freal, he was probably thinking that this was the past that John grew up in and this was how everything was like before shit really hit the fan by the time Judgment Day happened

Public indecency maybe? Stealing that dude's pants?

I agree, it doesn´t have sense. Following him like crazy, and asking for more patrols.

They were receiving reports of a naked man running around earlier (aka the T-800).

Agreed, all they could see from their vantage point was a guy putting on some dirty pants in an alley. That doesn't seem to warrant a pursuit with guns drawn, etc.

He robbed the bum.

Hiei2019 how?

And by far the best one

it's not underrated you stupid fuck

Is not underrated it's the best one lol.

Yeap it's actually the best by far i would say

That's a stretch

Slept on the wrong side?

That’s me every day.

😂😂😂

true 😂

Was just thinkin the same thing. Except my hair looks worse and my mouth smells worse than my asshole.

But still, evil or not, you had to admit introducing us to the T800 made us established that this thing was gonna be a huge force to be reckoned with

But the bum pants? Come on Reese

If u look closely there was a basket of those shoes and he found the right size

Jai Courtney just looked like some muscled up Chad that dressed up as Reese for a Halloween party or something. Michael Biehn did an amazing job because he made Reese look like a feral war torn soldier.

Ashling c I agree completely Jai Courtney missed the mark completely as Reese unlike Michael Biehn was amazing as Reese. Jai Courtney can act though. See his performance in The Starz series Spartacus he did an amazing job on that show

@@vincentmartinez8241 i agree his not a terrible actor. Thought he was great in suicide squad

Of course he was

@@ultimatewarrior9589 yeah Michael was cute in that & Arnold was ripped

And now how do you even do that? No phone booths, no directory. Some people dont even have a home phone anymore. Some people dont even use social media, and some that do dont even use their real names, only the ones from Facebook i think. But then youd need access to internet with a phone or PC. And then there is all these cameras everywhere, and if face recognition becomes a thing, it will be hard to hide, specially from a Terminator connected to Starlink... i mean Skynet.

They won’t be able to create machines like that for about 40 years
