Made all the worse by the fact that he’s a towering, olympically-built monstrosity. The second terminator is scary, sure, but he’s a relatively small and diminutive “man.” Doesn’t quite strike as much fear as a figure as imposing as Arnie was.
Y E S! Kyle Reese was my childhood hero. I still love his character in this movie. It was interesting to see him play a bad guy in Tombstone. He's a legendary actor in my book.
Terminator 1 is dark, gritty and creepy. Terminator 2 is more of a fun action movie. The older i get, the more i like the first one. It ages like fine wine and is perfect for my old jaded taste in movies.
This video’s a shameless copy of The Midnight’s “Collateral” , exact same scene just different music , but as they say “imitation’s the sincerest form of flattery”
TECH NOIR was put in there to be ironic. It translates to Dark Technology which is what Sky Net and the T-800 are. When you see the T-800 from the future in Technoir shooting it up with a machine gun underneath the lit sign there is so much irony in that.
@@BarbRogersMs.SolarTerror I used to go to Slimelight in Angel London in the late 80's early 90's It was a great Club with three dance floors 80's, Techno, Goth and Industrial There was a Filthy McNasty near Kings Cross too, Shane McGowan drank there
Its not lack of emotion. Remember he actually took some acting classes. He was not speaking fluently and that is why he took roles that he did not have to speak much. Apart from that hes acting was actually good, not mentioning he fits this role great
Oh yes! I remember that good! I was 3 when I saw the Movie first Time on VHS and that brought me much Nightmares and I scared up every Time when a little Noise was heard while I was trying to sleep :D
Now Terminator is more scary, because is more realistic. In 1984 self-developing network was a nigtmare, in 2018 is frightening reality. Sorry for errors.
One thing I always loved was how Arnold trained for this part. They wanted him to look mechanical enough that he never actually looks at the weapon when he reloads. Watch the whole movie, he never once looks down when replacing a magazine. That’s incredibly difficult to drill that kind of muscle memory in with so many different weapons. Truly a movie still ahead of its time! (I’m not counting the beginning of this video because a machine would naturally look to reload if there was nothing else going on as a distraction. He was also looking down at ginger.)
Yes, you're right... it is also a part that favored him a lot at the start of his carreer since he had almost no lines and his heavy accent sounded robotic anyway
Michael Beihn was amazing, he sold how scary the Terminator was while remaining a fearless badass that would sacrifice himself for Sarah Connor. But still was a human being that you could tell was over his head and totally out of his element being in 1984.
Low budget?? Are you serious? It was so expensive that the studio behind it closed the doors after this movie cause they run out of money this movie had lot of fans but not enough for the money to come back from it so no it was not a low budged film there is a reason why the second movie is made several years later
@@durkeles6359 The Terminator cost $6.4 million and made $78.3 million at the box office. Yes, it was low budget. Also, the production companies that made the film are still currently in business.
@MR FREEZE-98 More than talent ~ It takes immense confidence to look THAT intimidating and driven. I just cannot see the talented Actors you have mentioned being able to pull off this insane level of screen presence. They just don't have Anrie's immense charisma and natural determination to go forward. You cannot teach that stuff, you're born with it, and Arnie was blessed with Superhuman levels of that very mettle. Measured by His Herculean levels of success in life. All of that, every bit, resides in those killer Terminator eyes of His. A true apex predator of a Man on the hunt... It gives me chills that so much of His incredible life energy is stored in this fantastic movie, it's palpable!
+poo tis 'Thinckening'? Thinning and thickening at the same time? So there's no change and you stay the same... okay, thanks for informing us of your experience.
Oh you must be new to the internet/technology. That's called a typo. Relax everyone, kids get online too. For all we know Michael D just learned to type last month.
The part where she slowly looks up from the table with fear and resignation on her face and Kyle and the Terminator pulls out their guns gives me chills! The song makes this even more effective
I still remember the first time I saw this awesome movie. I was about four years old, and my Dad, mom and me were spending Christmas with my grandparents, my little sister wasn't born yet. It was Christmas Eve and I sleeping or trying to sleep on the hide-a-bed in my grandparents' living room. My mom had just gone to bed, but my dad was still up watching TV in living room with the sound turned down. He was flipping through the channels, and stopped on HBO. I know because I would occasionally open one eye, while keeping most of my head under the blankets. Terminator was on showing on HBO that night. It was in during the opening scene when my dad said that he knew I was awake. I told him I couldn't sleep and I wanted to watch the movie with him. So there we were drinking hot cocoa and watching terminator together. Then a few months later T2 came out, and my dad took me to the theater to see it.
Because the music is solely based on this scene, they even used sarah phone call in the song, its like the creator imagined what the music would sound like if it was originally in the scene
I may need to give this film a rewatch. I'd forgotten how exquisit this scene was. It's got just the right amount of cutting, just the right amount of camera movement. Neither is used carelessly or to excess. Few modern films have such elegantly choreographed, shot and edited action scenes.
The first Terminator will always be the scariest of all the futuristic/dystopian films in my books. Big Arnold gave an absolutely stellar and viciously stone cold performance, par excellence! Everything in that movie was game changing and defined so many things that I love in movies. Oh, I like this music as well!
Very old school industrial drum machine sound, love it. This could have been playing at City Club in Detroit back in the late 80's.... Signed, an old school rivit head.
Terminators 1 and 2 are almost completely different movie genres. I love the first one a lot, but T2 is most likely one of the best action movies ever made. Probably more on a technical level than storywise, but hey, it's an action flick ^^ The first Terminator is a slasher flick, and a damn good one at that! :D
"You still don't get it, do you? He'll find her. That's what he does. That's all he does! You can't stop him. He'll wade through you, reach down her throat, and pull her f***ing heart out."
Specially knowing that we won’t be able to ever go back to the 80s. If I were a filthy rich guy, I would buy a huge plot of land in a region with cold and hot weather seasons and turn it into a purely 80s town - no internet, period cars, period clothing, period movies, tv and even commercials using 80s & 70s tech to produce all those commercials and music. It will be an 80s paradise 24/7 and the fcking Soviet Union will still exist, we will have constant nuke drills too.
I've seen Terminator and T2 so many times before but watching this now, it only just dawned on me how much of a total badass Kyle Reese is walking past the TECHNOIR club with his long trenchcoat, so relaxed and cool. This motherfucker just traveled back like 40 something years in time and is now walking around in an era where he doesn't exist, he doesn't belong. Even further still, he's sent knowing full well he's on a one way mission and will either die facing the terminator alone, or live out the rest of his days in an era long before his time. On a fictional level, this is some fucking crazy shit and adds to his character in a way I never even considered.
I sometimes forget how very 80s neon-noir the first Terminator is. As much as i love T2, this vid almost makes you wish that Terminator never had a sequel so it would be forever an 80s thing.
Total sci-fi-horror style for half the film. The very reason why as a kid growing up during the 90's, (as well as even now), I never understood how people put T1 and T2 together. The difference is night and day. As a kid who watched so many movie franchises that all had a similar tone (BTTF, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, etc...) when I saw T2 in theaters at 7 years old, I was confused about why the film looked and sounded so different than the first. Also, I'm doing a fan edit to try and make T2 have a similar tone/style as T1. Check out my vimeo page: vimeo.com/133159658
lol as a 90s kid I remember watching T2 and then T1 and think "WTF! exact same plot with different characters, these dudes didn't put too much effort from one instalment to the other"
That's extremely harsh on T2, as if harshness to T2 is a pre-requisite to praise T1, it's not. I feel what you said applies to the Avatar era though...Cameron cmon. Not because it's a different theme/project, but because it just felt so one dimensional compared to usual Cameron depth.
Totally agree. And, if I may add, most sequels are all about the money, losing the depth, originality and essence in the process. Most films shouldn't even have sequels in the first place, but.... Hollywood
Монументальное кино. Лучшее, что сняла Америка. Даже второй терминатор проигрывает по атмосфере тревоги и безысходности первому. Тут настолько все густо и атмосферно. Ну и трек само собой.
as much i love the film and the acting for most part, but arnie is flinching quite alot when pulling the trigger and his movement is also incoherent, sometimes slow as you would expect for a several hundred KG robot, sometimes super fast like, when he aims, while looking for sarah or kyle nonetheless, a masterpiece of a movie
@@Anonymous-iw4hx I love comments of this nature...it really deserves a reply and an open discussion. I often look at these issues similar to those you raise. Id say that I see a lot of flinching but in all honestly I cant say many people could not flinch in a film shoot with flashing firearms. That being said, I could always put it down to the Terminators programming to act human......as for the movement, I see him move fast when turning to aim, an easier movement for servos under less pressure than those for him to move his legs to carry the weight, slow to pick up speed when running then into full sprint. Lots of factors to take into account when aiming versus moving - being hit by gunfire, less ability to gauge how to move like a human as if to mimic them.....a learning computer. Arnold does a great job and quite honestly as im sure you'll agree does the T800 proud. Lets not forget the T800 was a new version and had issues, just like man, no ones perfect :)
@@atl-armyofthelivinggaminga1172 i hear you, but if skynet is working with logic, at the moment SHTF and the terminator must act quickly, the cover is blown anyway, blinking will close the shutter and important miliseconds are lost, miliseconds between existence and destruction of the terminator
I think his movements are not great in this film, although he just about gets away with it. His facial expressions should have been improved though, like when he gets on the motorbike first time you can see he is kind of doing a slightly goofy smirk.
One of the things that I loved about The Terminator is how much the fight scenes in '80s Los Angeles mirrored the fight scenes in the future. The gun battles, the vehicular chases ... everything that happened in the past was mirrored in the future scenes.
There are obvious answers but my personal reason is the fact that it fits 110% perfectly with the theme of Terminator. If T3 had featured this as a theme it may have been 400-500% better from that alone.
I've just watched The Terminator an hour ago, for the millionth time. Such a great movie, I still prefer the first one. T2 is great but doesn't have that same atmosphere that only the 80s could create.
The greatest moments inside cinema are when all artists are super in-tuned with the moment. Your cut and music is super intuned with what’s happening baby! Excellent!
@@frizzyred1292 Everything was big and wild back in 80's. Guys were tougher, cars were faster, guns were bigger, explosions were louder, girls were hotter. God, thank you for such a golden decade!
Love this sequence and when they are both drawing their weapons the differences between human and machine are highlighted but it doesn't seem forced at all. Great acting, underrated
Many actors on screen were seen in other screens on tech-noir scene. A guy dancing was the same guy behind the bar. yet this is the Best B-Movie of all times.
