The Terminator - Tech Noir (HD) 

T2 was a action movie. This was a sci-fi horror movie...

Arnold was terrifying in this movie. T1 is a masterpiece.

When a 1984 movie is better than a 2019!

“Tech Noir” is the coolest name for a disco club.

The best acting Arnold ever did...He was PERFECTLY cast as the terminator. no doubt

Love how Kyle's knowledge of terminators is demonstrated by his fighting style, ducking and weaving and diving for cover, never staying in one place for a long time, while periodically letting off shots to distract or temporarily incapacitate it, and then waiting until the Terminator's good and distracted before he goes in again. It shows us his character before he even says anything, a skilled fighter and a lightning-quick strategiser, who is on familiar terms with his enemy. modern action films would just have him rush in, all guns blazing, explodey and chaotic, the camera would be all shaky, and we wouldn't know who the good or bad guys are. Also love how Linda Hamilton plays Sarah before the shooting starts, looking around, and occasionally nodding in time to the music in a effort to dispel her anxiety.

1:15 The music, the lights, the colors, the club, the people, everything that was amazing about the 80’s is in this scene. T-800, Sarah, and Reese are the icing on top of the cake. This movie will forever be immortalized as one of the greatest Sci-Fi films ever.

Still amazes me they made this on a budget of $6 Million. How many hundreds of millions did they drop on Genesys and Dark Fate, and for what?

You're in a public place. You're safe. T800- hold my chip.

Brad Fiedel's score is absolutely incredible in this and in T2

There’s something gritty about T1 that isn’t in any of the sequels, not even T2. It’s kind of reminds me of The Warriors.

What a year 1984 was!! The Terminator, Ghostbusters, Beverly Hills Cop, Nightmare on Elm Street, Karate Kid, Gremlins and Temple of Doom all came out that year!!

That part where Sarah knocks the drink over and the Terminator drifts by as the music echoes is so perfectly done. It's like something from a dream.

There was something dark around "The Terminator" that they never could, or wanted, to replicate. Or maybe it was something in the film making. This Tech-Noir scene is a master piece. One of the things, I believe, made this movie so dark was the fact that we could see people getting killed in a more or less gory way. As we go further into the saga, I think the movies became more "family friendly", kind of Disney-like. I couldn't say for sure, but I have the feeling that the first terminator movie was set mostly on night scenes. The plot was also simple at this point. Just two time travelers fighting in a neutral land. Nothing complex like multiple universes, nano robots, and stuff like that... Just a powerful cyborg on the hunting. The movies of the 80's had something darker in this respect. Do you remember Highlander? A lot of similarities. Why those movies were so good? Why was Nightmare on Elm street so scary...

2:03 Is probably one of my favourite, most underrated and suspenseful slow mo shots in cinematic history.

"Come with me if you want to get pregnant!!"

Michael Biehn is so underrated in this movie.

It really doesnt matter how many times I've seen this, I still come back for more

1:37 In the german version she says "Hey, Hercules didn't pay!". Don't know if that's a dig at Arnold's first movie but it always made me chuckle.

"Come with me if you wanna live" - One of the best lines in film history.

1) Worst timing ever: Sarah calls home to talk to Ginger...AND THE TERMINATOR HEARS THE MESSAGE, AND FINDS OUT WHERE SHE IS!! 2) Best timing ever: Sarah drops her drink...AND THE TERMINATOR WALKS ON BY AND DOESN'T SEE HER AS SHE BENDS DOWN TO PICK IT UP!! Great classic movie!!

Clubs in 1980: People run out of bars when they hear gunfire. Clubs in 2019: People ignore gunfire and keep partying.

That is one of the most horrifying moments in the movie. Seeing a guy getting hit with point-blank shotgun rounds...and then seeing him get back up like it was nothing more than a mere inconvenience.

Linda Hamilton doesn't get credit in these movies.In this scene she is so,so Innocent and scared.T2 She was BADASS.

Fun fact: the cop whos squas car the terminator takes is the same guy that is taking pics of the Terminator in T2 when Arnie goes through the window in the mall. Thats why there is a close up of his face, he is shocked to see the same guy 👍👍

The Terminator really likes breaking people's hands.

part at 2:04 still sends shivers down my spine. the way those old film cameras captured light, he doesn't even look human. Just some vague approximation with ill intent.

The Terminator staring at Sarah and walking slowly is the darkest moment in any sci-fi to date.

I just realized that the car Kyle Reese blew up burnt off Arnold's eyebrows.

There are ONLY two terminator movies. After that its all trash

I don't know how many takes this scene took but the blocking is exceptional

How messed up would it have been if someone wanted to play hero and tackled Reese to the ground when he pulls out the shotgun 😂

Underrated part for me was The Terminator’s cold demeanor as he casually crushes that guys hand while the lady’s jaw just drops.

2:04 One of the best shots in the entire film.

2:03 - damn. what a scene. They just cant make anything like this anymore!

I love the look of shock on Sarah's face when she watches the terminater get up after being blasted by a shotgun.

He has Intense and terrifying presence in Terminator 1, honestly I never really thought that he was a great actor until I watched Pumping Iron and saw that he is actually very humorous and jokes allot in real life compared to how he pulls off this scary seriousness in T1. I think he acts great in Predator also, perfect roles for him.

It seems RU-vid knows that Dark Fate sucked as its only suggesting T1 and T2 vids :D

I love the attention to detail in this scene. After the T-800 runs through the fire it's eyebrows get singed off, you can see this most noticeably when the machine replies on the police radio. This is also a pretty good detail, as it keeps in line with the whole "Conspicuous assassin" thing. Yes, he did just shoot up a nightclub, but the sound of the gunfire may easily have been mistaken for dance music

Terminator Dark Fate: Arnolds returns to pay the cover charge

The pacing in this film is incredible.

I'm an ED doctor and this is one of my absolute favourite films. A few months ago we were setting a broken wrist, and when the bones crunched back into place the guy made the EXACT same sound that the bouncer does when the Terminator crushes his hand. I could have hugged the patient for that 😂

The Tech-Noir segment is one of the greatest scenes in cinema history.

My mom was so pissed when my dad brought this tape home from the video store for the family to watch. Traumatized for life. With awesomeness!

I like how Reese starts spouting off his rank and serial number to Sarah like she knows what all that is supposed to mean.

"Hey that guy didn't pay" Crushes hand. What an absolute classic, the atmosphere in this scene is truly next level.

Delivering such a terrifying performance with only 17 lines. Arnold did a great job in this!

The way the Terminator snaps his focus to that answering machine, just listening in emotionless silence - face framed in shadow - as Sarah reveals her location.... That scene was so chilling to me as a kid - and it's still unnerving even now. Just the "uncanny valley" he has on his face there.

People say T2, but imo from opening scene to end credits, Terminator was the best of them all. Chills.

The neon lights, the streets, the clothes and the people, everything gives a classic eighties tone to Terminator, perhaps that is where the sequels fail.

4:18 the best sit up of all time.

The two police detectives in this film are totally underrated. Based on their camaraderie, they carry themselves like two Vietnam era Veterans trying to make sense of a city gone sour with psychopaths, violence and other horrible criminal acts.

The 80's had some awesome movies.

i'm Class of 86, those types of bars actually did exist.

This scene was so 80’s it’s not funny. The music, the hair, the clothes, even the club. Just an absolute classic !

1:05 You are in a public place, so you will be safe... Oh, how times have changed.

The terminator is perhaps the greatest villain ever. Because most villains are either sadistic or just mentally ill. The terminator has none of those weaknesses. He is simply a cold blooded predator, with no other motivation than to kill Sarah Connor and anyone else who prevents him from carrying out his mission. And that makes him by far the scariest thing you could ever encounter.

The Terminator is one of the greatest films of all time in my opinion. It goes to show, even with a low budget....If you know how to tell a story, and you cast the characters right, You can make a masterpiece. It's also my favorite scene in the movie, when all 3 major characters collide in the story and the explosive effect.

"You're in a public place, you'll be safe"

2:20 - That music transition is amazing.

2:05- That dude's giant head (blocking the T-101's line of sight) saved the entire human race.

I like that it is the original audio.

I saw this in '1984' at the cinema - AMAZING.

"You have been targeted for termination" well, that's not a very nice thing to say to a girl on a first date

"Hey that guy didn't pay"

The Terminator & T2: Judgement Day will always be a Masterpiece! 💯🤖🤖🔥💥

Gotta love the sound of 80s shotgun blasting away!

I love how they make you think that Kyle is also a bad guy until he shoots Arnie. Love this movie!

"You're in a public place, so you'll be safe" Never again was someone more wrong... xD

Best terminator movie ever in my opinion. Seeing Arnold as a bad terminator running with a emotionless face across the alley trying to catch Sarah is terrific.

4:16 "Come with me if you wanna live." The first time of that classic Terminator phrase

I like how he's NOT himself in this movie.. He's just an uncanny nightmare with two legs!!

This movie has such amazing simplicity in brutality that it makes a brilliant movie. Also, it was perfect for Arnold. His lack of acting ability actually made his role so much more powerful and believable.

The production values of this first film went way beyond all the sequels, with the exception of T2. This film has real energy. It's gripping and absorbing.

02:03 I like it so so much when this amazing song starts sounding more and more distant as the Terminator passes through the crowd. I'm not someone who likes or knows how to dance, but this tune would move me to go wild :) Timeless scene!

He used the .. 45 long slide .. With laser sighting.

No disrespect to Terminator 2 but this was the best Terminator film.

I was born in 1989 and I grew up watching these classic movies on VHS. Amazing films I am a terminator fan as well and I loved them all. This scene is awesome and what I really liked about the car scenes for the movie making of those times is that certain modern films just cant replicate great car chases like they did before. I really like it when the car chases have less cgi as possible of course for certain sequences you have to use cgi but I do love the classic styled real no cgi chases they are awesome!

Man it's all so perfect. The pacing. The change of the music. The very little details which make a great movie. You can watch it over and over and over again. Never gets boring. Nowadays you don't find this well crafted movies. It's all rushed, uncreative and bloated with millions for crappy CGI.

The best intense, action scene ever. The slow motion is perfect, the lack of dialogue is great as well. Just let the scene speak for itself. It's also the most 80's thing ever.

Kyle Reece with his shotgun, epic moment.

One of my favourite scenes in all of cinema. The tension before their inevitable encounter is golden.

It's all the little details of this film that makes it so good, this scene and the police shootout scene, and the music is just top class to create that air of tension and fear. How you can see the Terminator does get a shot off at Sarah, and it's only the split second reactions of Kyle shooting his hand that makes him miss. You even get to see the Terminator trying to repair the damage caused, later on in the film. It all adds up to being one of the best films ever made, and puts all the budgets of the newer films to shame!

I don't care how old Sarah Connor is. She's still a badass.

Watching this in 2019 has a pretty scary chilling factor to it. Seeing this 30 years ago in a theater would have been terrifying.

I love this scene, even though the Lieutenant's advice is sound, he actually turns Sarah into a target! I love the way the music also turns into a haze as the Terminator searches the crowd...

40 years old and it still a masterpiece movie.. outmatches any sci fi to this day!!

When terminator had a thriller concept to it, like it should. All action and cheesy lines now.

One of the best movie scenes ever.

My favorite action sequence of all time. Mood, tension and action. Hasn't been equaled yet. Prove me wrong.

6 reasons why I love partying at Tech Noir: 1. It's on a great street w/ plenty else to do, even after you're wasted. 2. Great music. 3. You can get in without paying the cover charge. 4. They will replace your Canada Dry if you accidentally knock it over. 5. You get to meet a really great, lively and diverse crowd! 6. A great place to go if you really wanna live!!

2:00 It wasnt John Conner who saved the future, it was Canada Dry Ginger Ale.

When cars get blown up it not only burns your clothes slightly but gives you a cool brush cut hair style...

Can you imagine 2:07 how funny it would be if the terminator started dancing with everyone else on the dance floor lol.

Compared with the torrent, derivative, and throwaway films of the current and recent sci-fi/action genre, this film not only still holds fascination and interest, but challenges and surpasses many contemporary films of this genre. The writing, pacing, story, execution, and overall presentation is commendable. Please don't appreciate what is given, recognize what the thing is, whether be it good or bad, then appreciate the good and if you prefer, the bad.

The Face expression from Arnold is damm creepy U see how dangerous he is

One of the best movies of all time👍🏽🇦🇺

One of the best scenes in the film. But then again, they're all so good. This film's perfection

The extra detail of the Terminators eyebrows being burned off and still be having smoke come of his clothes when he knocked out the cop and stole the car is impressive.

I could watch this, Rambo and robocop all Sunday long
