THE TERMINATOR Tech Noir Scene(1984) Retro Sci Fi Horror 

You must be about the same age as me, since you say you were age 14 when you saw the movie in the theater. I was also age 14 at that time. Now I'm age 51. I was born on July 8, 1970. I really miss the good old days. It's hard to believe how many years have gone by. Seems like yesterday.

@@bobby1970 sometimes ide like to think me and my friends will look back on the 2010s with the same fondness you and also my mother and father look at the 80s. (There in there 50s, I was born 1999)

@@archdukefranzferdinand4429 , I hear ya. So true.

@@archdukefranzferdinand4429 The decade of 80s was as dificult or worse than traumatic as the current time of 2020. In fact, today we have more adventages than in the past and more technology.

@@bobby1970 Nigerian here, born Jan ‘70. I was also 14 when I watched the best installment of the franchise (in my opinion). Nothing like Arnold when he’s on FULL kill mode!

Johnny Ringo!!!

I always thought he was a good actor. I liked him in "Aliens" as "Hicks" and in "The Rock" as that Navy seal commander. Also as Johnny Ringo in "Tombstone".

@@EBR1 Agreed.

den danske helt michael also appeared in planet terror as the sheriff

Absolutely

2nd film as well, dark-tech, the rest is popular shit

@John Doe all Aliens are cool

"No one" could have played this role better? I guess we're just going to pretend Oswald Patton doesn't exist then. No it's cool, let's all just live in your imaginary world I guess.

@@below90hz well, I agree with the Lone Star: Arnie was a better fit by corpo (looks invencible), accent (non-natural)…

@@Ivan-wp1ne1 not sure if you are serious...

at the time i was 1 but remember the hype surrounding T2 movie when it came out and was about 9.

@@sf2explus184 When T2 was coming out I went to GREAT lengths to find out NOTHING about it. Literally nothing. On the morning of the day I was going to see it I was driving to work, turned on the radio, and immediately, "...and this time Arni is the good guy..." before I could turn it off... Gŕrrrrttttt!

lucky guy

...and you came out of the theater with a buzz cut and an Austrian accent.

I saw _Remo Williams_ instead. In my defense, I was 13 and my friend and I would've risked getting kicked out if we'd tried to get into R-rated _Terminator._ Needless to say, this has held up better than _Remo Williams._

Best of the Terminator. Sequels sucked.

@@charleswest6372 second one didn't

@@kd9-3.73 Second one had brilliant script and marvelous acting by Robert Patrick, but still didn't have the extreme intensity and the soundtrack the first one had. It was almost on par, but not actually better.

@@JoseRRodriguez yea this is horror really. Second is Thriller action, Third thriller action comedy then....

@@AnMComm you must be high. T2 had superior everything

They should have cast Nicholas Cage!

@@annereilley4892 "oh no the shotgun, not the shotgun!!"

He does not need to play. He is what he is!

Terminator plays Arnold, FYI

Agree 100%. Perfectly filmed

Agree! Can't duplicate them like that anymore.

​@@alisaleh7474BURNING IN THE THIRD DEGREE.

Agree 💯 it's Also my favorite part❤

They can't be bargained with, can't be reasoned with, they destroy everything and dgaf

❤

He better have. Cause Terminator was blow her cap back! 😂

Reese just starts bussin no grandiosity just blasting

👍

Doesn’t he also play an officer again in one of the later films?

@@GNX157 The two Terminators and The Abyss are the only ones I know about.

@@plissken2156 makes sense, all movies were directed by James Cameron.

Every terminator fan worth his salt knows that, wisher also wrote scripts for more terminator films which all got ignored, but seeing the rubbish since T2 it might of been worth a look

Btw - Sarah knocking over a bottle with her elbow saved humanity. SO TRUE!!!!

Me three on the bottle thought saving humanity

Canada Dry !

You forgot the little detail, Arnold's eyebrows got burned in the fire that's why the skin looks swolen.

The club bouncer saved humanity. Maybe not 😄

In 1st movie it was important because development of character arc, in 2nd movie it was necessary for Sarah to know that T800 was there to help, and knew about her very personel moment something only her son would know. After that repetition of this line just became Terminator cliche.

Back then it was kind of a joke, in that Ah-nold found the absolute perfect acting role, an emotionless robot! 😂

He shows 0 emotion, no anger, no anxiety, no frustration... he truly looks like a machine.

Does a cyborg blink?

in T2 he is doing better

@@farmanguliyev no, there he is nearly a clown, t2 ist just comedy, t1 is pure hard stuff

^ This. One hell of a scene.

James Cameron doesn't do what James Cameron does for James Cameron. James Cameron does what James Cameron does because James Cameron is James Cameron.

Arnold was perfect here.

A strong female character arc? In a film? Why isn't she automatically the best at everything like Rey?

Agree, I feel like both actors gave their best performances of the franchise in this film.

Arnold originally wanted to play Reese character, until Cameron talked him into playing the terminator. This role paved Arnold Schwarzenegger into super stardom.

@@saongpark2423 Originally Lance Henricksen was going to play the Terminator instead of the Detective character.

Easily among the best. I grew up during the original Star Wars era, and as the best of those films, _Empire_ ranks very high. But now that I'm an adult, I think this is probably better.

Except it's no way like AI at this point. We're dealing with algorithmic systems that map and predict information, they don't think or choose anything at all. The real risk is people controlling the machines all of us are using.

PJ45 L E A 45JF NO MEU

Today, the days suck from hell 😖

Makes me feel like my pre-school years living in a rougher part of Los Angeles.

Late 60s early 70s cars even better to crush ;-) i am so glad i was there in LA in 1980 and 1982 to smell that atmosphere .

You mean GTA Vice City, right ?

He was definitely the right guy for this part. Just to think, they were thinking about giving OJ Simpson this roll, wow how that would have turned out.

@@joethekinghawk7514 Lance Henriksen was also considered, since his slender frame and "ordinary" appearance made him suitable as an infiltrator. Some of Cameron's initial sketches of the Terminator had Lance's likeness. Ultimately though, I still believe Arnie was the right choice - his massive frame and robotic voice really made it believable that there was metal underneath all that muscle. Lance got his opportunity to play an android a couple years later in Aliens (also directed by Cameron) and did an absolutely stellar job at it.

@@AchtungBaby77 it would have been interesting to see him cast as the terminator as well, well a more slimmed down version of a terminator.

Well, acording to the making of the terminator 1, james cameron tells Arnold when he is acting as the T-800 that he also needs to look the places and make moves like a surveillance camera, that's why this T-800 its so robotic on its movements

Keanu Reeves would've made a great terminator, like a T-1000 or something

Worse than the terminator is the authoritarian islamofascist turkey regime, which has invaded every state it borders, with the help and tolerance of America

This first film is the best by far! One of the greatest films ever made! The entire movie is a chase scene, very much like Mad Max Fury Road!

@Rev an yeah i agree with you but definitely arnold killed it in the first one as a ruthless cyborg

Thought I was the only one who saw T1 as the best. He was ruthless.

Very different types of movies. Kind of similar to Alien vs Aliens. Maybe not as contrasting, but close.

Yeah I prefer the original as well. In fact, I still consider it Cameron’s best work to date. I just could never buy the humanity they tried to give the Terminator in the sequel. _”I know now why you cry, but it’s something I can never do”._ It didn’t work for me.

No way lol this was great but T2 blew this out of the water

1 is best

T2 is way better. But T1 is also very good.

@@mikawelll 100%

Agreed. I think a lot of its power comes from how successfully it blends different genres, from police procedural to sci-fi to the kind of horror centered around a relentless and unstoppable Michael Myers type villain which certain niche audiences would have been used to at the time. And then to cap it all - a believable but inevitably doomed love story. Phew! Anyone who grew up loving 1950s noir and the pinnacle of its 1970s evolution in Scorsese sodium-saturated cityscapes (and who don’t mind an infusion of ‘80s techno beats) will find much to admire in the movie. You can see the influence of Bullit and Taxi Driver in the car scenes, the crucial difference being how Cameron opted for vulnerability and lack of the cool factor when developing the character of Reese. He may be just as taciturn and lone wolf and competent with a large caliber gun as Dirty Harry but making him closer to a hobo than a Steve McQueen allows the desperation of his circumstances to come through. He knows the odds are stacked against him. The nightmare world from which he comes only adds depth and pathos to his character. Killer robot movies may be a dime a dozen, but this is definitely a one of a kind tour de force. Cameron was wise not to try to repeat the formula for Judgement Day.

Ye I agree

That's because it was an original concept and such a novel idea. Nothing like it had never been seen before in a movie. I was in awe when I first saw it as a high school freshman in October, 1984

The problem with the new ones is that It doesn't have the same horror vibe the first one has And the last one is young arnold aint young no more lmao but atleast we have these gems to rewatch

@@2684dennis Actually, sir, I've seen just the first 3 ones. I've never seen any of the others. I think they've killed it with all these ridiculous sequels. It's insanity at its worst. It's a money making franchise, and I get that. But, truth be told, it plain ruined a great series that should've stayed a trilogy

@@FatalDyZr True that, sir. I couldn't agree more

There is nothing amazing about her ... Biehn is an actor with completely average acting skills... Arnold is a much better actor than Biehn. He can look much more 'amazing' seeing than Biehn ...

In hindsight, I wonder what the impact would have been had The Terminator smiled maniacally before going into "kill mode?" That cold flower *was* scary, though. No doubt!

The man was a Promethius. It's Arnold (the GOAT of Body building!). Conan the Barbarian for Pete's Sake! It doesn't matter how much CGI or whatever they use now, the muscle, the scowl and stare is ALL Schwarzenegger! Intimidating without the need for special effects. The first movie is still better than all the sequels combined.

@Wilfrans Millan I Dont AGREE TO ME THE T-1000 WAS WAY MORE SCARRIER He WALK UP TO IMPALE YOU AND WALK AWAY !!

haha me too. I was a scared little kid after watching this. I think this is the first rated R movie I saw. Good times

I liked Arnold after watching terminator 2 and recognized him in last action hero

I have strange nightmares of Arnie and the characters he has played in many movies I'm not sure why that is? But I do love the guy and his movies.... really strange I never had them as a kid but now as an adult I do?

Yeah me too, i was about 11 years when i watched this movie the first time with my dad. I was scared and fascinated by Arnold's performance at the same time.

Especially the way he looks at 5:49 scared me

my favorite is how he did that quick tilt with the uzi to shoot around the booth while still maintaining perfect posture, then immediately stands up straight walking briskly towards connor who was pinned by the dead bystander

😅

Focus on the task at hand. The burnt eyebrow part was funny. Dude where are your eyebrows? 🤣🤣🤣

A minor bother for me was that he pulled the gun and didn’t have a round chambered. A terminator should of been prepared better for the kill.

But he did check his hair after putting on his sunglasses in the bathroom … hilarious!

I always liked that little touch. I mean, it's a machine but it's an infiltrator so I reckon it would make sense for it to have a check algorithm for visual appearance. I always imagine that scroll down menu flashing up 'GOOD ENOUGH ' 😄

Yessir

Hell yea

And sound effects.

1:43 pls what’s the song?

His greatest role to me is Conan the Barbarian! Fuggin Epic! CROM!

@@jackluminous6024 hey , haha do you recommend this film, I never seen it before but i've heard of it... whats the plot about peace!

I know, fantastic acting by Linda Hamilton.

My favorite scene is the garage chase. Cadillac Eldorado x Dodge Monaco.

if you see a muahfukah take a couple buck shots & get back up, you'd be in disbelief too.

Brilliant acting you would be so shocked to see a guy get up from multiple shots from a shotgun.

It's also that she suddenly believes Reese. It's a lot to process in a few seconds and Hamilton does a great job at it.

Sarah: what if it's a robot from the future?

@@Yohanan552 It's not a Robot.....it's a Cyborg.......Cybernetic Organism..........Cyberdyne Systems Model 101

@@sunnymitra6372 actually technically terminators are Androids, not cyborgs. Cyborgs are living organisms with mechanical attachments to augment performance. Terminators are metal robots with an outer layer of living tissue, used as a disguise, due to its use as an infiltration robot.

​@@tiaferrandino4881Technically it is in, the directors cut which imo makes T2 which is an already great movie to even better.

YES!!

Michael Biehn is such an underrated actor.

Yupp, him and Bill Paxton became my 2 top favorites ever since I had seen Aliens when I was little. It's a shame Michael went down the road he did, he had so much potential, but that's the all too common path for extremely talented artists or just brilliant people in general. I don't know what it is about addiction that all to often correlates with that, but it's a sad truth.

Indeed

Michael Biehn acted fuck out of this movie

The sequel sucks Arnold da good guy makes me puke that kid was so fucking annoying

Because of modern technology and trying to be to advanced this was classic 80s here

Well we have to check boxes today.

Todays generation want everything to be CGI perfection.

@@oddities-whatnot ...with shitty script and artificial atmosphere. Totally agree.

4:11

Wow. I've seen this movie about a hundred times , and never noticed that until now.

@@WiIdbiII It took me one night at the youtube to finally see it after decades. Talk about crazy.

This is one of my favourite movies, and I've seen it at least a dozen times... NEVER caught that before! Awesome detail! -THANKS!

You can also hear metalic sound when shot hits endoskeleton first Terminator had great detail including fact that T-800 skin starts to rot later in movie because Kyle probably hit heart.

He's the only terminator that I actually find frightening. Robert Patrick and Kristanna Loken both did a good job, but they didn't scare me. Arnold is almost like a horror movie character.

@@I_Fight_InstacartI don’t know, but Robert Patrick’s Terminator is also scary like this one (if not more, due to being camouflaged as cop and with the ability to shapeshift, and not to mention that being able to imitate human emotions).

What was everybody’s reaction when it got up from the explosion at the end?

@@Xx_Tuberculosis_xX gay sex. Yes, they literally started to have unprotected gay sex in the cinema

@@KeksimusMaximus it was too much for me. that's when i left the cinema to get some fresh air. lol

@@moontan91 Right??? I literally ran out of the cinema despite the fact I was born in 1993, years after the movie release

Sounds like the original soundtrack! Hard to find these days... 😎

They don't make them like this anymore.

I don't think it's slow motion. I'm nearly sure Cameron had the actors dance slow so the Terminator looks improbably fast.

Movie, because there really is only one. Several tributes after. But this one stands all alone.

Because James Cameron wrote and directed them himself. Don’t go saying now that his minuscule involvement in Dark Fate was any indication on this mans movie making skills because if the movie was HIS movie to write and direct, he’d knock it out of the park just like he did with Terminator 1 and 2. He needs to write it and direct it himself or it’s a fail.

@@user-qe7bt9dz1l, I agree, T2 was good. But nowhere in the same league of the first. It was probably the better of all of the cash in sequels but it lacked a lot of what the first had.

T2 was considered overall the best because it was the most successful at the box office and top notch special effects plus didn't it win an oscar? Idk but it's considered one of the best movies of all time but it's also because it was more kid friendly, it was basically PG-13 compared to this one, while it did have some horror in it as well, it just didn't have the same dark atmosphere as this and Robert Patrick wasn't nearly as terrifying as Arnold was in this. He actually kinda resembles Michael Myers

@@MrRobjs83, it was a flawed but entertaining Si Fi film. SFX by the bundle & lots of big bangs. First was a damn near perfect Sci Fi/Horror. An element sadly missed in the cash in sequel.

@@MaxMustermann-lb7sn Not exactly 🙂 Initially the title was "Terminator". Just like a original. However, after some time the title was changed to ''Electronic killer (Terminator)". I don't know why. 🙂 Everyone just called it Terminator.

That's probably my favorite scene in this whole movie. Like watching a great white swim through a bunch of dolphins...and sarah just happens to be in his blind spot. Nobody is ready for whats next, not even Kyle Reese. Not really.

The ambience sound effect or whatever sounds eerie, it enhance the "death" aura to full effect.

That man was a true warrior, had no fear and what made him an efficient shooter

I had to wait till he moved on you. Yeah well 6'1" 235 lbs of terror don't wear pin stripe tie & checker board shoes. Good guess Reese!

Mr Reese, dirty, hungry, not shaved, ready to fight for his life or his mission.

Might be using slugs instead of buckshot?

Actually, he didn't care. His orders were to save Sarah to make possible the birth of John. End of story. He himself was expendable, and he knew it. If he didn't manage, humanity would go extint. End of story.

This needed to be written. 👍

@@Pfirtzer Really, Pfizer? :)

The story is king. That's what puts this head and shoulders above the other T movies for me. I rank T3 second and T2 third. After that, who cares.

Perfect film

Very rich period to be alive in! Great music, great action packed movies (thanks to the women’s liberation), and people had thick skin (unlike today’s snowflake generation)!

Techno music was really beginning to come into its own then, too, Mr. or Ms. Gee. It fit the film's futuristic vibe like a hand in glove👌

It was becoming more mainstream by then. That's what I really should've said

I love the soundtrack starts at 3:05

That's the terror of the terminator.

Same here. In night time I had to wake my mom up when I want to go the bathroom to watch for me. I am serious!

I didn’t have the balls to watch this movie when I was young (no pun intended) just because it was dripping in horror, the eerie music, how the metal endo skeleton limped with quickness at the near end of the movie fuck man 😂

You picked his best. 👍 Don't forget Conan the Barbarian and Conan the Destroyer. 😉

You can leave out the Destroyer when you say best. Fun comic flick but in no way a good sequel to barbarian.@@2bunphettered788

It's a real cyborg actually. They literally made a steel automaton covered in Arnold's flesh just for this movie. Arnold didn't survive this unfortunately and they had to replace him with a double later. But that double had to face the same fate in the T2 movie. It's only in T3 they had to hire a second Arnold double to play the role without his skeleton being replaced by a walking machine. And that's why T3 and the latter movies are much worse
