THE TERMINATOR (Story + T 800 Terminator Cybernetic Organism) Explained 

You weren’t the only one who thought that. Hence it’s massive success.

Kinda like aliens?

@@joshuar3632 beat me 2 it lol

You know Cameron paid a guy for stealing the story? It was an old twilight zone. Two mindless killing men in destroyed future with helmets repeating "kill kill kill" in there ears. Something happens mid fight an one is sent to 60s America learns to be more human. Then the 2nd appears and the fight destroying them both. Foretelling a future we cannot change. Yeah lotsa $$$ 20yrs after his story was 1st used. There's a ray Bradbury story short film where ppl stay inside watching TV constantly never leave home. The one that decided to go out sneaking at night to avoid the machines told another how the shows he watches are recycled. The new show is really a old one re edited not even remade same film cells used. They sneak out are discovered an the 1st man talks with the flying pod confused ppl aren't watching tv asks if his is broken. After saying he just wanted outside he's told he'll be taken to a rehabilitation. The pod opens turns out no one's inside! It's a drone. He laughs asking the other man allowed to return home if there's even any people left to run the rehab. Says it's probably all automated an old itself. Yeah think terminator is original? Naw it's just got great action that feeds the solid plot.

@@Will-dn9dq yeah want to say he settled it out of court.

Yep never tire of them, but if Salvation is on I'll give it a watch. They should've continued with that and ended it with Skynet being destroyed and Reese being sent back in time. Closing the loop.

@@HragFarraGaming but human greed is unstoppable

I honestly liked both of those. Terminator 3 and salvation where the low points imo

Personally I liked Genesis

Agreed judgement day beyond biblical

I first watched it when I was about 6 in the mid ninties, as an adult it is a lot scarier!

Awesome movies

In those tunnels with the dogs barking?

I didn’t know for a long time that that terminator was played by Franco Columbo. Arnolds best friend.

He* was dreaming

They laid the foundation right there that not all terminators needed to look like Arnold.

I think terminator 2 outdid the first one by a mile, but I agree every one that came after 2 was bad with the exception of salvation that I thought was decent at best.

Back to the future didn't have a reboot lol.

They're both back-to-back classics!

@@RerunTheWizard Yes “whilst.” Would you like a link to the definition?

@@blueturret5596 yes please

@@blueturret5596 lol you gotta cater to Americans dialect don’t cha know? The world revolves around them apparently.

T-1000 is my favorite I wish I had one

They are literally the Nokia of killer cyborgs.

Same. The T800 haunted my thoughts more than almost any other sci-fi villain. I really enjoyed, but wasn’t at all scared by, the Alien and Predator films, but that stop-motion T800 was just terrifying to me 🫣

@@DonMarzzoni No, you wouldn't.

@@LuciTulcea yes I would. Even though they might go rogue it's totally worth it.

Same thing happened with the T1000 for me, after it thawed and recombined.

@@JoshSweetvale that and the eye ripping scene always got me as a kid

Terminator: Resistance game is right up your alley.

I absolutely loved Salvation, even tho its like the most hated Terminator movie in the franchise.

@@user-xj3mo2lx9z That award goes to Dark Fate an absolute trainwreck and it was the final nail in the coffin. Every sequel after the 2nd one were dissapointing

@@user-xj3mo2lx9z I think people would have liked Salvation more if we got laser guns. I often hear people complaint about that

T2 you millennial!

It is a horror!

I worked at hollywood video and blockbuster video and T1 was always classified as and put in the horror section. T2 was action. I remember this clearly as people always wanting to rent T1 and T2 where always confused as to why they werent next to eachother.

the metallic skeleton with red eyes gave me nightmares as a poster when i was 6 ... when i watched it, it was not that horrible, lol, funny how our imaginations can run wild

One thing the Terminator franchise and HILLS HAVE EYES have in common if you stick to the "horror" classification (I think technically its just classified as science fiction) is this: In BOTH movies (including remake for Hills Have Eyes) there is ONE "good" monster that saves the main characters and shows that they are not all evil and terrifying. Arnold kind of "rehabilitated'' the reputation of the Terminator from a horror monster to a hero and in Hills Have Eyes there was ONE mutant who helped and protected the main characters.

James Cameron was influenced by Halloween and the idea of a relentless, stalking killer. The first Terminator is certainly a horror in that regard.

Honestly? The lurching and jerking way it moves sort of lends itself to the fact its heavily damaged at this point.

Exo = exterior. Not an exoskeleton

Amazing take.

What do you mean Reese was a "BLIND" believer??

100% truth right here

"The lie detector determined... you are telling the TRUTH!" -Maury

And just to add as i think most would agree both franchises completely fooked up when it came to the 3rd installment of each series and failed to deliver what fans wanted. Alien 3 we wanted Ripley, hicks and newts story to continue. T3 we simple wanted the war. Well we know what happened lol although i do have a soft spot for alien 3 directors cut

Were you named after Reese?

Way back there was . Planet of the apes . But the franchise lost the plot on that too

Definitely! I’m about to give up on new movies and just invest on classic movies into my Blue ray collection!

@@Geezer-yf8hv there are some good movies out today so don’t give up just yet !

@@damianstarks3338 I never give up. I feel there IS a higher level that CAN be achieved. Just so few independent thinkers out now, (at least for main stream thinking)! It’s a fad, I know! It just feels like it’s a time to hunker down, and wait for God-awful wokeness to burn itself out!

@@Geezer-yf8hv yeah looks like you !

Some people just can't let go the fact that he was acquitted. Even though there's been plenty of times in history, let's say the trial of Emmett Till when we know the person perpetrated the crime because they even bragged about it but they were acquitted.

Can you imagine! I'm not saying OJ would of been a unfit role, but the movie series probly woundnt of been looked back as fondly if he was cast.

@@grapeshot since when has acquittal ever been synonymous with innocence?

@@calebowman9782 since he walked out the courtroom a free man.

@@grapeshot like Emmett Till?

Robert Patrick, aka the T-1000, would like to know your location Mr. only one actor to play the relentless intimidating unstoppable killing machine. :P

@@chrisp3085 neither the T-800 nor the T-1000 were unstoppable. They bother were stopped lol.

Exactly its shot like a horror movie.

Arnold was a better Barbarian great at both but I'll always be a Conan or Red Sonja fan

@MR.C&A Video911Game Another "relentless, intimidating, unstoppable killing machine" ... Well, if the glove fits 😉

Skynet an Co act more like Borg in recharging an powered down/storage areas when not actively killing or searching for humans to kill an capture, or guarding and forcing humans to slave away in labor/death camps

@@robertagu5533 the whole slave labor thing didn’t make sense to me. Why would terminators need humans to work as a labor force? Seems like humans would be terribly inefficient by comparison, not to mention they need to eat, sleep, poop, etc.

@@michaelj6392 in the franchise there's a reason for this. It's addressed more then once. Basically, Skynet attacked Humanity after reading an learning ALL about humans an our history or War an alot of the atrocities that often come with it. So to both destroy Humans, or barring that, keep us both busy and useful it made forced labor/death camps To make people serve it's control and war effort Agenda against Connor an the Tech Com Resistance

@@michaelj6392 I think the human slave labor could be explained by finite resources. Suppose the human resistance manage to capture some Skynet territories, like mining facilities, factories or warehouses, then Skynet may compensate by utilizing captured humans. Personally, I'd like to see Skynet dabble in human experimentation and mind control before perfecting its cybernetic technology. There's potential for good horror stories there.

@@michaelj6392 they actual utilized them for a lot of purposes. the scientists and engineers actually were forced to design machines for them. and you need humans to study for your infilitraters, why not force them to mine and build to keep them busy and save resources?

I was about 10 when t1 came out but I didn't really know about it cause back then I never really watched tv at all I was always out doing something but t2 I saw in theaters and it was awesome I walked out of the theater with my jaw dropped to the ground lol and I was able to see terminator 3 in theaters too and I had the same reaction.

@@bretthibbs6083 Damn you're so lucky. It's such an amazing film, timeless classic that I'm so glad I got to at least watch. I remember having it on video tape and ruining the tape as I watched it that many times

The second one was also one of the best

It’s the most terrifying of them all tbh

Terminator Salvation was great!

@@filmcomicsexplained honestly I don't get why people dislike 3 and salvation, like I get that it's repeating the same thing over and over but they're still good moovies

@@tunderstorm2769 i understand not like 3. Its very goofy. Like i enjoy it for what it is, but its a pretty big departure from the previous two. Salvation was great but being a modern movie studios dont take chances. It was a semi slow start to a trillogy that was going to cover the war, but didnt have plasma rifles in the 40 watt range so people claimed it was bad.

If only we knew what was to come after salvation ; Maybe people would have given it the flowers it deserved

@linkuei83 it was supposed to spawn a trilogy, so all that could've happened. Marcus was better than john, preferred his scenes with kyle and that lady pilot more than john.

Lol i still get free phone books every year and i dont even have a land line. They still list your home phone and address unless you dont have a land line or request the number be private and unlisted.

You can literally google peoples names and find out where they live if they are listed lmfao it’s still there

@@henners8910 A friend of mine looked up an actors ph nimber and actually called him.

@@generalgrevious815 who has a land line now??

@@henners8910 you can also reverse do it

I kind of agree. However Ultron actually developed emotions. Fear, joy, anger, hope, arrogance. Ultron had all of these things. Skynet in most cases does not show any of these. Its does what its doing because its following a corrupt version of what it was programed to do. There is no emotion behind its choices. I guess the best way to put it is ultron is basically "human" in alot of ways just way beyond in terms of intelligence. While skynet for all of its data and computational power at most reaches more of an animalistic form of intelligence. Its not even good at developing new and original ideas. Just advancments in what humanity has already done. It still fights wars conventionally. It still keeps humans as a labor force. It still uses ground soldiers backed by armor and air support. Its infantry still uses hand held weapons. Why not build the weapons into the units? Why use the basic human form at all? Why not make nano machines that scour the earth destroying organic matter and also break down the environment into its basic elements to be used to contruct more nano machines.

Shhhh your not supposed to let them know

I appreciate that!

Dope point of view never thought of that

That was my take on Roland and the Dark Towers series. Sadly, it was not to be. Sabotage!

How come Skynet didn't send a terminator back to kill Sarah Conners parents before SHE was born? It would've solved all their problems.

It's amazing how technological limitations actually make for better special effects artists and effects

Some are timeless

Toyotas

I was absolutely floored when I originally saw T2 as a 6 year old in 1992 & I have the illustrated screenplay/script of T2 from back then. No joke my moms had to mail order it & “wait 6-8 weeks for delivery”… that was my nightly bedtime story lol. and even tho it’s got some miles, it’s still a mainstay on my coffee table along with “the joy of painting by Bob Ross.” Btw the 4K Dolby Atmos re-release is pretty dope

I was 20 yrs old in 1984 so it’s nice of you to give my generation or those 10 years older respect for creating something technological which you young guys don’t sneer at - and still find exciting. As it happens , that Director would’ve been around 20 in 1974 when your namesake Genesis were at their best although that music & their flared jeans hasn’t dated well at all…..🙄

The endo skeleton of the t800 was terrifying when I saw this when I was younger. If it wasn't limping, omg, it would have been 3x as scary. But that's just its appearance. Since it doesn't have a gun, it has to literally be up in your face, use its arms to kill you. It was more terrifying when it had flesh, going around and shooting people.

@@lightning932 Yeah, that scene in the Police station, where it took on an entire precinct. And nothing could stop it! And T2 clarified that 17 officers died in that attack by the 800. Scary stuff as a 12 year old!

Great point!

Very interesting

In theory anyone can play a t 800 this version just uses arnolds looks i would love to see that t800 with a different look and i think indeed lance would have been a good choice and in judgementday robert patrick played a really good t1000

As an edit it would be a design flaw if they only deployed a t800 with just one look once it would have been made and killed the resistance would have sent everyone the looks of this t800 series so it would make sense that they would have different skins for them

Imagine Stallone or Dolph Lundgren as the T-800

Its the sheer terror of it. Sarah Connor is surrounded by officers protecting her, so we're lulled into a false sense of security before the Terminator comes in and wipes out the entire precinct like they were nothing. This compounds the realisation that her and Kyle are in for a hell of a night

😨🙄😳 yeah.... It probably was for most everyone, we're ashamed to admit.

It was super well done

@@filmcomicsexplained I think this is the moment when Sarah finally realizes that Kyle is telling the truth. Up to this point, thought gradually coming around to believing Reese's story, she still ponders whether he may be actually crazy. The fact that the Terminator turned out to be as relentless as Reese told her is proven in her eyes in this moment.

Janette Goldstein

She's in Titanic too.

yeah im pretty sure arnold got upgraded to a t850 correct me if im wrong

@@intechio9013 it's not Arnold who got upgraded. the face of Arnold is know as "model 101" and in the series, there is at least one more model of T-800 shown (one to infiltrate the base where Kyle Reese rests), so it's 2 terminators, T-800 and T-850, and both are "model 101" (model is used to differentiate the faces and overall body structure)

Not in the 1980s. More likely a simple RTG aka 'nuclear battery' wherein a radio fuel element degraded a carbon anode which generated heat and electrons to feed a capacitor system which stored conditioned power for transfer to the various hydraulic pumps and comms/sensor/radioprotection systems. RTG (Radio Thermoelectric Generators) are what power satellites and space exploration probes. There was a SNAP 27 generator strapped to the leg of the Lunar Landers. I believe they were roughly the size of a cooler or pressure cooker and supplied a few hundred Watts. Today, it would probably be closer to a thermos sized unit and provide a Kilowatt or so. An HFC is ridiculous. Way too many complex coating catalytic filters to manufacture and typically a too large liquid storage format for a combat chassis to safely protect. While providing only about the equivalent of a lawn mower engine's endurance at-scale. LHV and HHV provide something like 90 and 141 Joules per kilogram energy density, depending on the Gibs reaction formula (there is a very narrow temperature band in which you get electron transfer rather than explosive combustion and the cryo engine needed to retain a liquid or slush hydrogen would use most of your free energy...). Whereas if it's a low density pressurized gas, the yield is higher but the containment is so low as to make the reaction break down very quickly, even with hundreds of pounds of available fuel which of course a humanoid Terminator would not have. Most 'fuel cells' are in fact based on simple diesel because of these two issues and require /tons/ of fuel to get a few weeks of propulsion as with an AIP submarine. Change this to Plutonium 239 in an RTG and now you're talking about 83 million Joules per kilogram and suddenly the 'decades of use' condition starts to make sense. The 'nuclear battery' is only mentioned in the original novelization and the reason they switched to a hydrogen fuel cell in T3 was because Hollyweird has this whackadoodle idea that you can power the world with words and not physics. An exploding (Terminator sized) HFC would be unlikely to blow up a bathroom, never mind a fractional kiloton yield with Rayleigh Taylor column. The biggest problem with the entire idea of a Terminator running on combat vs. constant vs. sleep mode demand power outputs (6 months, 4 years, Century+) being that of the CAPACITORS needed to store the power you make. The weight and volume requirements just go right through the roof, even before you start talking about sourcing Li3N in a post MAD nuclear environment and the probably extreme combat hazards of a system which will /burn/, almost like white phosphorous, when it gets hot from excess load demand or a plasma rifle strike. For an RTG, it probably doesn't matter, it's just a constant generator source. Take a major torso hit and you can have a small battery (6V DC, roughly equivalent to what you see in a powerful lantern flashlight or screwdriver) to bring the CNS equivalent functions, autonomic BIT and commo and eyes back online. Your generator controller will then determine what, if any, fuel spheres have been compromised and eject them while recovering nominal mobility if not fighting capacity on the remainder (you can compartmentalize RTGs fairly simply). Letting the unit crawl out of the combat zone. Past that and you send a recovery request message over datalink and Skynet engineer vehicles will come out and start sorting robo corpses into piles, looking to keep CPU brains and limbs to literally reassemble new units from and probably sacrificing the rest as too irradiated to be safe around electronics.

Glad you like them!

You are a person of culture, no doubt!

Yes please!

If you're going for the whole franchise, the T-X's dirty trick of usurping the T-1s is _exactly_ what Genisys does. Travels back in time, kickstarts itself, and sometimes subverts a Connor.

Brilliant!

Did you offer condolences for her son John killed Mexico by a Terminator ?

Autonomous drone swarms 😬☠️

In some of the novels that followed the first two movies there lots of Terminators that turn against Skynet and join up with humans to fight Skynet. Once their chips are flipped from read only to learn mode they eventually turn against Skynet. It's also mentioned in the books that the T-1000 Liquid Metal terminator was made in very low numbers because it couldn't have the chip restriction like the T-800 and Skynet was afraid the T-1000 would always turn on it. Not necessarily to ally with humans but just to turn against Skynet. Which it did. (We also see the T-1001 turn on Skynet in the Sarah Conner Chronicles. Maybe they got that idea for the show from the novels.) Also that the T-1000 was designed to hunt down rogue terminators.

@@zombieshoot4318 if T-1000 decides to turn on it... Wonder if Skynet could ever possibly have nightmares of one deciding to defect to John's forces an decided to gift a critical part of skynet to it.. I hear the Epic/legendary T/X. Was ALSO an anti Terminator Terminator too.. pretty sure she'd best a 1000 of any type of really WANTED too. Basically an army couldn't stop a model like THAT'S defection is what I gathered. BUT I heard on this they have like you mentioned "read only" chips or limited learning abilities or even kill switches should a model of THAT kinda caliber got any such ideas

Absolutely

Tell me more... very interesting

The idea of 2 computers linking up and forming their own language for world domination was explored in The Forbin Project in 1970.

Do you have a source for this? Never heard of that.

It is only implied the Kyle is John's father. The guy that breaks up with her over the phone with the Porsche very well could be the father. If you were going to tell your kid about an absentee father, would you rather tell your kid is a hero or some yuppie price. If you look at it this way, there is no time paradox.

From her perspective its one possible future is how he specifically explains it. But he also tells the police he doesnt really know for sure how it all works as "he didnt build the damn thing" lol

@@hatchett151 c'mon now :/

Unless.. of course... There's a number 7 that ties into the other 6 BUT undos ALL of "Dark Fate"... Which, let's all be honest, is bout the only way "Dark Fate" can an will become acceptable.

@@robertagu5533 and let's hope you are right about that... the last hope for this dying franchise...

@@SkyFly19853 one the few good things about a franchise where Time and it's control an manipulation are key and very import elements. Is even very shitty timelines CAN come into being BUT can be made acceptable to one and all by just making a WAY better following movie and including the shitty one, least parts of it, or key parts of it in there in a way thats cool an makes sense... Then all sudden "Dark Fate" suddenly can be acceptable when everyone KNOWS it'll make sense later sense such timeline divergences CAN be possible. It's putting it back we'd have to worry about on top of the "fix" movie being worthy of the rest of the franchise an ALSO made to fix what "Fate" screwed up.
