You're terminated, f😎ker! | The Terminator [Open Matte, Remastered] 

It always sucked that Kyle Reese died without knowing if Sarah was safe or not. His story and character is truly the most tragic in The Terminator and T2.

Man these hydraulic press videos are getting pretty intense

I hate coming to work in the morning and finding a Terminator caught in your hydraulic press

With that in mind, you really REALLY get why Sarah was so shellshocked when she met the Schwarzenator in T2

Almost 40 years later and that puppet with red eyes is still more creepy than most of nowdays CGI.

I like how this scene ties into what Kyle Reese said. "It can't be bargained with, can't be reasoned with, doesn't feel pity, remorse or fear, and it will not stop -- EVER -- until you are dead." Being shot didn't stop it, getting hit with cars didn't stop it, being consumed in flames didn't stop it, and even being cut in half by a bomb it refuses to stop until its mission is accomplished. This is the kind of single minded determination that made the Terminator so scary.

I always find this Terminator more intimidating than the rest because no matter how much damages it gets it still keeps on going.

Back when Terminators seemed unstoppable and took an entire movie to kill.

Arnie had literally 0% body fat in this scene. That’s dedication, folks!

1:18 Excellent strategy. The Terminator knew Sarah would come to check on Reese, so it played dead right beside him, literally used his body as bait.

Kyle Reese, officially the greatest hero in movie history! One man sent back in time naked into an age he was not familiar with, to fight off an unstoppable, relentless, nearly indestructible machine just to save a woman he has never seen but of whom he only had a photo. He left behind everyone and everything he has ever known in order to protect the woman he never knew even at the cost of his life. Meanwhile he became the father of the leader of the human resistance and he managed to protect the mother and made her strong enough so she could be the mother the resistance will need. This guy...basically won the war himself. Mission fuckin accomplished, soldier!

There's a deleted scene that shows that the building all this took place in was, in fact, Cyberdyne Systems.

This scene scared me when I was a little kid, it must’ve been the music in the background

The way it crawls over Reese's body is so disturbing. A soulless body crawls over another soulless body.

The shot of Sarah with the Terminator's lifeless arm still on her shoulder after the big climactic moment is so good and important. Often in film when there's a climactic scene the characters seem 'aware' that this is the climax of the plot and that once it's over the threat has ended, but not here. She sits there, still shaking with terror, watching the arm intently for signs of life. not wanting to even touch it to move it off of her. She still doesn't quite believe it's dead, and with very good reason given what she's seen it survive. T1 was a horror film, and a fucking good one

One of the most badass female characters in film history.

T1: Best Horror Movie Ever T2: Best Action Movie Ever

So sad Kyle Reese died.

Kyle Reese wanted to meet the legend, instead he created it.

it's a shame Reese never got to live in a peaceful pre-Armageddon world. I think he earned it

When she officially became the mother of the resistance.

3:39 Fun fact: that smoke was cigar smoke being blown by a guy off screen and the terminator head in that scene was molded aluminium foil because they ran out of money at that point. Also Kyle Reese's body bag was was just a suit bag with the bottom cut out.

THEY JUST DON'T MAKE EM LIKE THIS ANYMORE!.... Period

This classic is definitely horrorifying. The endoskeleton is from James Cameron's fever dream. For this reason this movie is much more scary then the sequels. An absolute classic

Sad that Sarah never got to say goodbye to Kyle or even thank him for saving her life. Watching his body being taken away must have been pretty heartbreaking nor did she ever find out where he was buried or anything. It's like suddenly he was there and then just as suddenly he was gone, like a leaf in the wind.

2:03 Looks so comfortable. He was enjoying the riding.

She was right, The Real Terminator got terminated and never came back

Even in death, Kyle Rease has completed his objective.

I really love this ending. They trick you to believe it's over not once but twice. They gave Kyle Reese a hero's death, doing absolutely everything in his hand to accomplish his mission, saving Sarah many times, and yet they still managed to give her her moment of glory, the final blow. Perfect.

Sarah is so lucky not to have been electrocuted by the Terminator’s demise, like at 3:18.

Been saying this before and Ryan Hollinger just said the same a few days ago: The first Terminator is a horror movie.

the time when terminator is a horror movie

I always found the T-800 endoskeleton to be oddly, yet strangely beautiful. Even though it’s meant be grotesque looking with all its exposed servos and hydraulics it looks so finely designed and crafted.

*Sarah feels a button* Sarah: I'm gonna do what's called a pro gamer move.

This whole end scene was just perfect. Scared the crap out of me when the Terminator emerged from the flames, the stop motion, the eyes, Kyle’s death & then the fucker comes back! But the catch phrase at the end was just brilliant. Great writing.

What's scary is that Sarah is now completely alone in this scene, injured and the terminator still active. Kyle's gone, so that thing's destruction and her escape was all up to her now.

Why was The Terminator such a good movie? Well, one of the reasons is because it was an actual horror movie, unlike all the others.

Welcome to the Hoodraulic Press Channel. Today we will be crushing Terminator - he is very dangerous and ve must deal with it.

1:24 Now there's a visual for when someone says "Over my dead body."

The realism of Kyle's death is top notch. He didn't live for a few moments to give his last movie style speech, he wasn't portrayed a full badass before he died, he just did what he could, and died. The way he was turned, and his lifeless open eyed expression made the scene heartbreaking and terrifying all at once. But it was portrayed real, No hollywood coating. on it.

You could see the real robot on the floor compared to the freaking CGI they want us to swallow nowadays. Pathetic.

That music score is so creepy

Terminator : ( loses lower half of its body ) Also Terminator : Tis But A Scratch

2:55 the transformation from terrified victim to fearsome warrior

T1 was an incredible horror movie T2 was an incredible action movie T3 and beyond were incredible jokes.

I still wonder why they never mention all of the other parts Cyberdyne had to have found. You clearly see at least one of its legs still whole after being blown off

too bad they didn't have that press back at police headquarters

1:18 lol i was reading comments then this showed up and scared living daylights out of me😂

03:13 that's what James Cameron told his own franchise when he decided to make TDarkFate ruin a great story

Damn Arnolds acting was so good in this scene

ImaginE with that snappy send off line she pressed the wrong button,

Kyle wasn't joking when he said it would never stop chasing Sarah.

Imagine this movie had a T2 budget...

It's pretty rare for Arnold to be in a film where he doesn't get the best one liner.

Kyle Reese is the definition of a candle that may have burned out but isn’t ready to fade away. He may have died as a hero, but won the war himself.

Kyle Reese, the best hero Sarah Connor, a legend has born

3:38 A bit of tin foil, an led light and some cigarette smoke.

She pushes a button in both films to destroy a Terminator. First time, she's mad as hell this one killed Kyle. Second time, she's at peace that one saved her son.

3:53 Just imagine how done she would be this sh!t if the T-800's Alternate Power Source had activated and the arm started moving again.

One thing I really like here is that they didn't try to put in any cheap tension by having an "oh no, it's grabbed her foot... but she's managed to kick it away and escape, phew!" which just lowers the stakes because you've now established that it grabbing hold of you isn't an automatic death sentence. Instead they kept the focus on how narrow her lead on it was, to really drive home that one mistake is all it's going to take and if it manages to grab her, she's finished, which they'd made clear from the very first scene where the unarmed Terminator is able to just PUSH its hand through the punk's chest because the machine is JUST THAT DAMN STRONG. It makes the stakes so much higher than when you've got the super-strong robot/alien/supervillain/whatever that somehow fails to finish a fight against the supposedly ordinary human with one hit, or superhero/martial-arts movies where everyone's constantly getting punched so none of the blows have any real significance. This is more like a good lightsabre fight; any strike that lands will end the fight instantly, so you'd better be quick.

THIS ENTIRE SEQUENCE WAS TERRIFYING. Now THATS a good horror movie villain. Yes a scifi horror villain.

Even though it's legs are blown off all messed up and caged in a press it still persisted to go for her...back when Terminators was actually ruthless sinister killing machines!

i was 14 when this came out, imagine. The days of VHS horror movies at home, behind your parents back. Wonderfully dark times. I saw Alien, Poltergeist, Evil Dead, The Thing, Exorcist, Halloween, Jaws and many more over the 2 year period, on VHS. The tape was rented in a shiny black case, from a local bar, and returned within 48 hours on my bike. You never knew what horrors were in that case. No trailers, no spoilers, no phones, no internet. Just you, your imagination, and a piece of tape in a black box. Terrifying.

I remember thinking the T-800 was dead, then he jumpscared me

just re-watched this movie last night. it still holds up so hard. the non-stop suspense feeling is so powerful in this film, it's really astounding how it builds the terminator up to be this unstoppable force right until the last moments. and it just goes to show that nothing beats practical effects. the stop motion did look a bit janky for sure, but these up close torso shots of the terminator are straight up terrifying now as they were when i first saw this in the early 90s.

Back when the Terminator was actually a horror film.

Sarah may have killed the Terminator, but her nightmare is not over. Her life changed forever.

the most terrifying part of this sequence to me always was how the T800 crawls over Kyles dead body, like, shes absolutely on her own now with this nightmare

if anyone has read the novel of the terminator, it gives so much detail when the terminator is caught in the hydraulic press. it describes the pressure it felt as unrelenting, comparing it to the hand of God. it's mind tried to focus all it's remaining strength in the arm and hand to kill sarah, and, in it's last moments, it saw the look on Sarah's face change from fear to victory as it's red eye finally went out for good. that's some awesome writing!

4:06 , this is the current state of the Terminator franchise.

RIP Kyle Reese 2003 - 1984

Evem though Kyle died, he thought he ensured the terminator died with him, saving Sarah and their son. But in his death, the terminator survived and Sarah managed to kill ot all on her own. At least that's what I feel when I watch this seen over and over.

Terminator 1: Sarah using an industrial switch to terminate the Terminator Terminator 2: SAME

Some people may not realize this but, Kyle knew he actually would die in this mission in the comics. Kyle was partly questioning why he didn't exist being the older version of Kyle didn't exist during the war and and realized after talking with John before he went back in time he didn't end up surviving but he was essential to everything. He didn't question it any further and trusted John with his life. So he went through with it.

This ending really brings into perspective Sarah's speech to John in T2 in the auto garage, when she has the T-800's CPU on the tool chest...why she was SO serious about destroying it "You DON'T know what it's like to try to kill one of these things...and if something goes wrong, this could be our ONLY chance..." 1984's The Terminator did what VERY precious few scifi films do...introduce something seemingly unstoppable with little to NO actual weaknesses...and a relentless one at that!! Best Terminator era by far

This is what makes the first terminator movie so good. It never stop. Even if u think its dead. Literally had u on your toes all the time.

This video definitely sparks some old memories here. When I was a kid, I remember that my mom had gotten me Terminator 2: Judgement Day on VHS during a family trip to Universal Studios in Orlando FL. All I grew up with, up until the age of 14 was Terminator 2, not even knowing the existence of the first film until that age. Of course, keep in mind I hadn't seen a lot of "1" movies, so to speak until my early to late teens. Films such as Short Circuit 2, Terminator 2, etc. made up a good bit of my childhood, as I was always fascinated with robots. But back to this. I remember as a kid, getting the Techno Punch Terminator action figure by Kenner, and thinking that it was so cool, always calling it the "Skeleton Robot". I was obsessed with how cool it looked, even having one of those cheap school folders that had the image of the Endoskeleton on it. As a teen, I had first seen Terminator 2, and I figured that it was like the Star Wars movies, in the sense that it continued with a story that had yet to be told (to me anyways), and of course with Arnold playing the role of the good guy, combined with the fact that he had a child co-star, I never thought anything of it, not knowing his original role in the first film. Then, about a couple of months after getting the VHS for T2, I remember going to a video store with mom and seeing the cassette for The Terminator out on display. So I asked the person running the store if it was the one that preceded T2 and they said "Yeah.". So of course, I begged mom to rent it for me, since I was still young at the time. And I can remember coming home with the tape, all excited to see just how that it would play out. Then, as soon as I popped the tape into the VCR, it became a totally different story. Seeing Arnold on-screen as the villain, and the overall dark nature of the movie when compared against Terminator 2 had me literally in fear and on the edge of my seat. I can remember seeing the scene where the Terminator removes his damaged eye and thinking to myself "Wow.", not knowing that this scene would eventually come up. I felt sheer terror watching this movie, from start to finish, as if I myself was in the role of Sarah Connor. And I recall being in complete shock and awe at the fact that the Endoskeleton rose from the fire of the truck, wondering if Sarah and Kyle would find a way to kill this frightening robot, and feeling relieved to know that once it was destroyed under the hydraulic press, that that was the end of it all. Good movie, loved the way that it played out, as it keeps it going from start to finish. Just when you think it can't get even more scary than it already had, the movie pulls out another surprise, left and right. Well done!

Sarah really crushed the terminator avenging the deaths of Ginger and Matt

3:14 Man, the sound of this hydraulic press is really so satisfying.

1:24 this part is creepy, Endoskeleton just crawls over Kyle’s dead body

What made the original Terminator so different (and so successful) from its sequels was the horror aspect. Hollywood nowadays treats Terminator like it's an action movie franchise, which it isn't. I'd argue Terminator is a horror/terror film series with sci-fi elements. The whole factory chase scene in this movie is pure nightmare fuel, and it had me gripping on to the edge of my seat! T2 did have some terror in it, but not on the level of the original (but the change of pace was good for the sequel, it can't be a clone of the original). It's quite sad that none of the subsequent sequels ever returned to the horror aspect of the original. Terminator Salvation sort of tried to do that, and I applaud it for trying to do something different (it's the only film without time travel). But McG's vision of the future was such a departure from the first two movies fans didn't accept it very well.

By seeing this scene one can see why Sarah was so horrified when she saw the T-800 walk into the mental asylum in T2.

Back when Terminators are actually hard to kill and are direct threats to the main characters, keeping the audience on the edge of their seats. Nowadays they're wimps who are made into BS like housekeepers, husbands and other shit. Only T1 and T2 in my heart.

The terminator looking around like a kid taking a joyride at Disneyland at 2:03 always cracks me up.

1:19 can we appreciate just how horrifying that theme is? Pure terror

What all movies past T2 miss, is the realistic physics. In T1 terminator is a bit stronger than very strong humans, and obviously he is more durable for having a skeleton made of metall alloy and not calcium. He is destroyed by a press. In T2 it's the same. He is realistically strong, just as strong as a humanoid machine of this size could be. When he fights with T-1000 he moves to generate and accumulate pendulum to throw T-1000 around, same does the T-1000, (obviously otherwise they wouldn't have nough strenght), and when T-800's hand is jammed in an industrial cog, he doesn't have the streght to free it (although he tries at first), so he chooses to rip his hand off. T-800 is also vulnerable to excessive heat, as in T1 it is showed that fire clearly overheats his CPU and he emergency shuts down for a couple of minutes, untill the fire dies down. Now compare that to T3 when cyborg has a strengh of superman, TS where T-800 works even when he's so overheated his skeleton is glowing, or TG when he gets hit so hard a giant rail splint gets bended, yet not only it doesn't rip his head off, it doesn't even stun him.

I wonder if the terminator would have lost both arms and legs, how would he attempt to kill sarah??

Imagine if the skin wasn’t burnt off and you can see the T-800 being crushed, bleeding and the skin being deformed and flattened

03:40 wouldn't that rupture the fuel cells causing a large explosion.

I watch T1 and T2 every few years. This scene, amongst others, never fails to put me on the edge of my seat. Such a great movie.

It’s crazy how she’s this nice pretty lady in this movie and the second one she’s a mean intimidating woman

That's the birth of badass Sarah Connor

Welcome to hydraulic press channel. And for today's extra content we have this T-800 series Terminator. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead. So we must deal with it.

As a kid I was scared and terrified of this terminator, but as a kid I also noticed that Sarah was so HOT in those Jeans. Even as a kid I noticed that lol. That's the thing which separates humans from machines.

1:18 The scariest moment in the cinematograph ever!

I've always loved how convenient it was for the T800 that there was a working conveyor belt considering his legs were blown off.

I like the endoskeleton moves for a quick half second before the jump scare. Makes your mind think what was that? And then Bam!

2:21 A person's hand below the T-800 armpit.

1:00 - That was really sad.

The movie looks so good remastered.
