    To me, the greatest part of this movie is that when Kyle Reese was wondering what Sarah was thinking of at that exact moment the picture was taken. Turns out she was thinking of Kyle. Lovers lost beyond time.

    The scariest part about the Terminator is how non-malicious it actually is despite being a ruthless killer robot. It isn't evil in the common sense of the word. It's cold and merciless, but it isn't purposefully sadistic or cruel. It doesn't feel anything, it doesn't even hate us. If it kills, it's because you're a target or because you're directly in it's way. It's a machine programmed to do a job, that's all.

      The fact that Cameron couldn't just throw money around to solve his script problems gives the first movie the edge, or so I've always thought. It's a story stripped to the bare essentials, as all great stories are who first evolved in the oral tradition before being set down in writing : all the superfluous fat has been cut off. T2 also has a real mean streak to it : whereas the death of Ginger is meant to terrify, the killing of John's parents is played entirely for laughs. Too the dozens of people knee-capped by Arnold : har-har so funny! I never liked how the sequel cribs generously from the first one either, featuring an almost beat-for-beat retread of the 3rd act, minus the clever ending. Was it a little on the nose? sure! But setting the climax in a robotics factory invites us to consider that humanity may be the architect of its own demise . . .
      William Wisher (officer 1L19!) and Cameron sequestered themselves in a hotel room for two weeks to bang out T2 and it shows; whereas T1 had begun as a fever-induced nightmare (Cameron had gotten extremely sick on the set of, iirc, PIRANHA 2) that he then wrote and polished over a period of months. Fun Fact : Lance Hernriksen was originally cast as the the terminator (they met on PIRANHA 2) since the cyborg is meant to be an INFILTRATION unit after all! Original detailed drawings from Cameron show this and I have to say the dude is a wonderful draftsman.

    The story goes like this: in or around 1984 someone tells Harlan Ellison that they think the script for The Terminator sounds similar to his script for an Outer Limits episode called “Soldier,” which Ellison had actually adapted from his own short story, “Soldier Out of Time.” And when we say “similar” we mean that the opening sequences of both The Terminator and “Soldier” are aesthetically close enough to give you pause. Both deal with a guy from the future who ends up on some contemporary 20th century streets. In Terminator, this is Reese; in “Soldier,” a guy named Qarlo. What happened next (according to Ellison almost exclusively) was that the production company in question - Hemdale - started avoiding Ellison’s inquires to see a script. Eventually, after sneaking into an advance screening of the film, Ellison determined that there were enough elements of Terminator similar to both “Solider” and to another Outer Limits he wrote, “Demon With a Glass Hand,” to make a case against Terminator director James Cameron and Hemdale Studios.
    Most damning, though, was a quote from James Cameron - which was supposed to have appeared in a magazine called Starlog - in which the director gave an interview about The Terminator ahead of its release. When asked where he got the idea from, he said: “I ripped off a few Outer Limits segments.” This sentiment was apparently repeated when a friend of Ellison’s visited the set of the film and Cameron said that he’d “ripped off a few of Ellison’s short stories” to make the script for Terminator. Now, the quote above is NOT in the final interview (I have the physical issue, plus you can read it here), because purportedly, the editors of Starlog were asked (forced?) by one of James Cameron’s assistants to alter the piece before it went to print. Still, it’s widely acknowledged that the studio paid Ellison something in the range of $65,000 as a settlement.
    The irony is, Ellison said that the problem wasn't their use of his story, it was the fact that Cameron just assumed it would be okay. Ellison actually said, “He could have had it for free if he’d asked me.” Whether this is true or not isn’t super relevant because Ellison is dead now, but it does give one pause on all sides of the issue.
    Say you’ve written a classic short story, one which you think is awesome, and it gets published somewhere notable, and then twenty years later, Rian Johnson or J.J. Abrams is making a big budget movie which contains an opening scene similar to your short story. You’d probably be pissed off too.

    • @van8ryan
      @van8ryan Před 11 měsíci +37

      Pretty much, but Ellison was also very much like one of those artists that write on classic themes and immediately cry Foul if something with similar premises came out (he had similar feuds with STAR TREK taking scripts from the episodes he wrote and building them up as film adaptations). For me, it's hard to write ANYTHING that's not going to be influenced by something. That's the reason why it's an "Acknowledgement" credit (not saying they literally "Copyright infringed" any actual story, but that the themes are close). Jim Henson did something similar on LABYRINTH when his friend, author Maurice Sendak, claimed it was based off his book OUTSIDE OUT THERE (which included a baby kidnapped and his sister rescuing him), but I feel it was more than the creatures had more similiaries to his WILD THINGS characters.

    Arnold did a lot of training for this role to accurately portray a robot's movement. He spent many hours taking guns apart and putting them back together, even while blindfolded. He also trained himself to aim and shoot guns both left and right handed because a robot would not have a preference.

Maybe there unborn children are growing in an artificial uterus. Who knows and sex is just for fun. It could still be an exiting story if the parents ahve to prodect the embrio against a Terminator.
      Besides the scene has nothing to do with love or romance it's just survival instincts at best because they never had time to actually fall in love with each other and there is no romantic vipe between them at all. And you are basically saying sex is only important if it is creating live not just for fun or for other reasons like saying good bye or enjoying each other before going into battle (other reasons why people have sex with each other in movie) which is pretty conservative.

    Fascinating to observe how dramatically men-women romantic interaction has changed since the time when this movie was made. I'm ancient enough to have seen TERMINATOR in theatres and it was perfectly normal to us at the time that two people who trust each other (literally rely on each other to survive,) after traumatic events, on the run, and obviously attracted to each other would feel a deep need to connect and BE ALIVE - in fact create life. The film makes a not-very-subtle contrast between the cold, logical, unfeeling horror of the machine versus our impulsive, living-for-the-moment, nature driven humanity. Also: nudity in movies didn't make us uncomfortable . . . An overall very interesting social study, this reaction channel! Thank you for it!

    The Terminator was influenced heavily by two episodes of an old TV series called The Outer Limits, a black and white series from the early 1960s. Those episodes were called "Soldier" and "The Demon with the Glass Hand". Both episodes were written by Harlan Ellison. When Ellison saw The Terminator, he was so convinced he had been plagiarized he threatened James Cameron with a Lawsuit. After a short time, a gentleman's agreement was reached: Ellison received a cash payment and his name was added to the credits.
    BTW those two Outer Limits episodes are definitely worth a watch, if you can find them.

    Also, you have to wonder if John basically played matchmaker and put the pieces in place in convincing Kyle to "volunteer" to go back in time for the mission (by, like, maybe giving him the photo of his mom)........knowing that he had not other choice because if Kyle doesn't go back in time, John is never born and never exists.
    In other words, John only exists because of a decision he makes, and in reality he shouldn't exist at all.

    I and millions of others can strongly recommend Blade Runner. Just don't go into it expecting an all out, gun slinging action romp like Terminator. Certainly, there are action scenes, but it's very much a detective story in the film noir style.
    It's one of the finest examples of world building in film there has ever been, but is a much slower paced affair than most were expecting upon release and one that asks a lot of questions about what it means to be human. It's always been a particularly polarising film with a strong divide between those who love it and those who just didn't care much for it, but much of that can be traced back to which version of the film people experienced.
    If you do decide to watch it, go with The Final Cut version and ask yourself one question at the end... what did Gaff know about who Dekkard really is? It may take a rewatch to pick up on some of the subtle hints (that fans still dispute to this day) to find your own answer... and it will be YOUR OWN answer, as each argument for and against Dekkard's true identity are just as valid, depending on your own interpretations and even the people who worked on the film can't seem to conclusively agree on who he really is 40 years later. It's a question that follows on into the sequel and those inconclusive hints are there too, but quite rightly left open by the writers and director, is every bit as ambiguous as it is by the end of the first film. Like Dekkard, you have to become a detective when watching the film to put the pieces together and come to your own conclusion. It's quite a fascinating study of individual interpretation.

    The Thing, Terminator, Predator, Stargate, Alien/Aliens, Blade Runner, these are some of the best science fiction ever put to film. Ex-Machina and Dune 2021 are good as well (Arrival is also a good sci-fi movie, but not as many people enjoyed it it seems).

      Arrival is underrated in my opinion. Super smart and intriguing movie.

    One of the few films I can recall, which basically transitioned from the horror genre, to sci fi, all because of it’s sequel? And believe me, as a 80’s kid, this was definitely a horror film back in the day! Many sleepless nights after seeing this on VHS at a friends birthday sleepover 😂

    Thanks for your wonderful reaction video ladies. I truly never get tired of watching people see these classics for the first time and sharing it with us.
    Fun facts: Arnold Schwarzenegger was originally intended to play Kyle Reese and Lance Henrikson who played "Bishop" in Aliens was going to be the Terminator. Arnold wanted to play the Terminator after reading the script and changes were made.
    The scene where his eyebrows are singed off after they escape the nightclub was achieved using real acid. Mr. Schwarzenegger was understandably worried about it so close to his eyes.
    James Cameron's initial idea for the script came from having a nightmare about a robot that was cut in half and still chasing a female victim.
    I look forward to seeing your reaction to T2. I see that the guys did a reaction, but please consider adding ROBOCOP & The Running Man to your 80's sci-fi list.

    I think a film that Stella in particular would like is Dark City - it was made in 1998 so not the same period as these classics, but it deals with ideas of memory and identity I think she'd enjoy. But if you do watch it, try to get hold of the director's cut - apparently, the studio thought the film was 'too confusing' for audiences and insisted on an opening narration that spoils one of the main twists in the film for the theatrical version. Plus, it's directed by Alex Proyas who directed The Crow, another film worth watching if you haven't already.

    Why is it so hard to understand that one can fall in love with an idol?
    And also, why is it so hard to understand that people in great danger and fear are very likely to fall in love very easily and quicker than in peaceful times? Psychologically it makes total sense.
    In history, more children were fathered and born during wartime than in peaceful times.
    Watching your unpleasant reaction during the love scene, made me think of all the women in Germany, France, etc. during WWII. Many of them became pregnant and were left behind by American soldiers, who returned back home to their families, never knowing that they had fathered a child. I doubt that all those women, who slept with foreign soldiers, they hardly knew, were trollops.

    Another interesting movie is the Bridget Fonda movie Point of No Return. While not as much action as the Terminator movies, it does explore second chances, trading a life without meaning for a goal driven life, and the big questions "how easy is it to make you comply?" and "what would you trade for a life of freedom?"

    Super excited to see you guys watch Terminator 2. It was loosely based on Ellison's vision of a dystopian future of machine's taking over. The original design for the Terminator was supposed to be a sly, keep to the shadows assassin type character, and Lance Henrickson (the police officer here and the android from Aliens) was originally cast to play the part, but once they got Arnold on board, they switched it up. You can actually find some of the design drawings with Henrickson as the Terminator. Would have been a very different movie. Check it out.

    Yes, that was Bill Paxton. He was the first actor to be killed onscreen by a Terminator, a Xenomorph and a Predator. Since then, Lance Henrikson's unlocked the achievement too.

      Lance Henrikson wasn't killed by an Xenomorph, Bishop survived getting ripped in half, but he does get an honorary pass on that one. Jeanette Goldstein, who played Vasquez has also been killed by a Terminator, a Xenomorph and an Iceberg and Michael Biehn has been killed by a Terminator, the Ocean, a cowboy and a Mandalorian.

    Nice, such an awesome Sci Fi Action Thriller! Originally it was going to be more of a slasher flick rather than an action movie. James Cameron got the idea of the movie when he was sick in bed and had a terrifying nightmare about a metal skeleton crawling out of a burning wreckage. It was titled TERMINATOR, and it was going to be filmed in Vancouver British Columbia, under the production company New World, as Cameron was worried that not one single movie studio would buy the script, until he sold the script for $1 dollar, at Orion Pictures, and would film it on a $6 million dollar budget. It was going to be filmed in Los Angeles from March To August 1984.
    Before Arnold Schwarzenegger was cast as the titular character, Lance Henriksen, Tom Selleck, Mel Gibson, Sylvester Stallone and OJ Simpson were considered for the role. Simpson wanted to play the role, but Cameron said in an interview that "he didn't like to see a nice guy like OJ play the role of a ruthless killer." 😳🤦
    Before Michael Biehn was cast as Kyle Reese, Treat Williams (RIP), Bruce Springsteen, Scott Glenn, Matt Dillon, Christopher Reeve, Tommy Lee Jones, Sting, and Michael O'Keefe were considered for the role.
    Before Linda Hamilton was cast as Sarah Connor, Lisa Langolis, Melissa Sue Anderson, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Jessica Harper, Rosanna Arquette, and Lea Thompson were considered for the role.
    The special makeup effects were done by Oscar Winning VFX company Stan Winston Studios. Dick Smith was considered to create the makeup effects, but refused and had his friend Stan Winston take the job.
    The film was a box office and critical success, making $78 million dollars ($313 million dollars today)
