Man... The Big difference with other Terminator movies is that this is the only one that was really a Horror/slasher/sci-fi movie. That is what makes this movie a really unique Masterpiece
The others werent horror because they had a Terminator as a good guy and they provided better protection. T2 is still amazing though and it did have some horror elements.
This scene is insane. The force perspective of the Terminator is a great shot. He appears to be a giant compared to that one dancer. I’m sure that was done on purpose. The despair in Sarah’s face reads “my time has come.” The music builds up and Reese barely makes the save. So much going on in a just a few minutes.
Fun fact. The cop in the scene is the same guy taking a picture of the Terminator in T2 when he is thrown through the window by the T1000. It’s why he had such a shocked look, like he saw a ghost.
@@hannible1002 You got me burning is the name of the song not sure of the sountrack ? But i love the easter egg ! It explains what happens to the Terminator latter on in the movie
Agreed. One of the greatest scenes of all cinema. The tension and dread, the way the eyes meet, the astonishing techno mis-en-scene, the innocence of the dancers standing in for all mankind unknowingly about to be slaughtered in their millions.... JC had no right to be this talented at such a young age.
But what's great about her is that she just kinda LOOKS intimidating when she tries. She has a weird intensity. She can look either way which works so well for her whole character.
T2 turned the table and the formula was like new Coke. Sarah Connor is militant and mentally ill. The Terminator is a bodyguard and surrogate father figure to John Connor?
In that scene they had to be very careful with the laser sight because those were very damaging to the retinas. During the filming she was instructed keep her eyes open and not to move.
@@MrHurricaneFloyd I'm old and I've seen laser pointers for a while. You really needed to be careful with those things. It may not have stated it on the laser in those days but it does today. Better safe than sorry.
Agreed. I also love the added touch of the nightclub music becoming muted with the overlay of the Terminator thrumming beat indicating his predator-like scanning of the room for his prey. Man, this crew knew its stuff.
I think many still do. Terminator, They live, Star Wars, Blade runner etc. I also believe films were better made until around 2010 then the conveyor belt films and woke narratives went into overdrive.
Every time I see this scene, I'm reminded that this is such a superbly shot and edited film, particularly for a B-movie which was never expected to find major success. Adam Greenberg's cinematography is so good, James Cameron brought him back for Terminator 2 and he was nominated for a Best Cinematography Oscar. He should have won it too
not many people appreciate the editing and screenplay of this film. Its definitely up there with the best aci-fi films of all time- especially the photo of Kyle Reece looking at the photo of Sarah and wondering what she was thinking when the pic was taken - gets me every time I watch those scenes
i dont have any education in film production but what i noticed/like about this scene is the way Kyle's shotgun firing is edited. We see Kyle and then a bright flash from the end of the gun. The sound is heard, then the camera cuts to the terminator and we see the impact of the round as the sound continues and ends. Then quick back and forth between kyle firing and the terminator absorbing the hit a split second later, with the audio connecting the two images. i feel it really transmits the speed, intensity and the raw violence of firing a shotgun at a "person". Add to that Kyle frantically pushing bystanders out of the way, club patrons running, falling, and getting shot despite Reese's efforts. some great choices that deliver a strong sense of energy, impact and the overall chaos of the interaction in a close and crowded environment. Imo those decisions are an example of what allowed the filmmakers to create a taut action film with a limited budget.
One of the things that made this scene so great was how the original was not so "crisp" and "clean" and clear. The atmosphere of the night club + the natural film grain added to the sense of increasing dread that something really bad was about to happen...
@@toAdmiller and to think that mel gibson was wanted for the role of the terminator is astonishing because arnie wasnt well known, jim hard balled them for arnie i do believe
Hmm. To me the image quality is a bit too clean. The original film grain is all but completely erased. It makes the image a bit too "dead" for my taste.
I can swear on the entire mankind that no one on the face of this earth could've played Terminator (who's as intimidating and overpowering) in this part than Arnold Schwarzenegger himself!! Plus the way, Arnie enters Technoir club in this scene and the music getting so intense suddenly!! Adds so much rush to the entire sequence... ❤❤❤👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪
The Terminator was hands down the best of them all, it was a sci-fi, horror film, the others were more like action movies. Michael Biehn was superb in The Terminator. I would have liked to have seen a t.v. series called "The Reese files" and its about him growing up in the future, how they survived, built weapons, infiltrated robot building facility's, wars against the terminators...etc. Terminator Salvation was o.k., it could have been done better. It didn't have that sci-fi horror like The Terminator (1984) had, the T-800 almost seemed invincible.
@@stuartparkinson8168 I think between those two you have 99% of humanity's 'favorite Terminator movie'. I watched the first one as a 4 year old with my dad on HBO back in 84-85. It will always be my favorite movie.
I remember an interview with James Cameron in a gun magazine way back then.He apologized for those scenes where he didn't show reloading. Dude always been a stickler for details
Perhaps the greatest predator vs prey scene ever, Arnies greatest and most iconic role. Cameron’s masterly direction with that slo-mo of the T1 miscue in the nightclub when Sarah bends down to pick something up is a work of art. Then the T1 returns set to take a clear laser guided head shot is a magnificent peak of the hunt scene just as the laser hits the viewers eyes. The tension just ramps up to fever pitch just as you realise how cunning, relentless and invincible this thing is after being shot umpteen times. Pure magic never gets old, pure magic.
There are 3 action movies that I refuse to pick the best one out of. Two have Arny in them and two have Michael Biehn in them. Terminator, Predator , and Aliens - all had me on the edge of my seat in the movie theatre wondering when the action might slow down so that I can catch a breath.
@@Kr0N05 I love Aliens! Now, don't get me wrong I love me some Sarah Connor, but when Ripley came out in that final confrontation scene with the Alien Queen I was like Hell Yeah! Audiences went crazy in theaters, too, and I wish I had been old enough to see it in theaters for that epic moment!
Thank you! Although T2 is a great action flick (minus the schmaltzy father-son fluff), it feels like the vision of a board of executives, while T1 feels like the vision of a filmmaker.
Here I watch a scene from a relatively low-budget 1984 film with all practical effects and rear-projection, shot in a traditional manner - and I am like, stunned and get shivers and I am taken into the film... and I don't usually FEEL that immersion with newer films that try to do the same thing. Why? It's like these older films had more grit and realness, they feel like they have gravity and texture and space... newer stuff feels so flimsy with the CGI and swooping, fancy camera angles. You never really feel like anything is real, or that you are THERE. That's why this film works - you feel so DOWN in it, you're usually always at EYE LEVEL with everyone, it feels more personal, down-to-earth, the simplicity sells it.
The cop duo of Ed and Hal were entertaining and well executed characters portrayed by Paul Winfield and Lance Henriksen. They were killed off way too early.
Lance Henriksen was originally chosen to play the terminator before Arnold. I seriously wonder if choosing him as Bishop in Aliens is a nod to that. Personally I think he would have been a cool terminator.
I don't think we give Kyle Reese enough credit for thw chuffing super-hero he is. Travels back in time to single-handedly take on a Terminator and rescue his marque, thus saving the world, after literally arriving naked and with no waepons to speak of. Oh, and in the process fathering the saviour of humanity. Also, and I'm a straght guy, Michael Beihn is an insanely good looking dude.
That's a good point, yet there's the fact that Kyle Reese grew up in a post-apocalyptic world living off of Two-Day Old Coyote and such...it'd be interesting to see how the character would look if they factored more long-term effects of malnutrition, poor hygiene, extreme stress and trauma into the physical composition. I heard J. Cameron had that on his mind and M. Beihn trained to get that kind of a look for his portrayal of a resistance soldier...
@@paulzeigler1075 When you see Reese naked at the beginning he has a ton of scars on his body, they definitely put effort into making him look like he had been through hell.
This movie reminds me of my childhood. It was so exciting growing up during the time of blockbuster movies. I remember my aunt being so full of youth, life, and vitality. She would always come to our house on Saturdays with the latest VHS tape releases. This was one of them.
"Come with me if you want to live" - This is such a classic scene and they paid homage to it so much in T2. That line, Arnie being thrown out the window, the terminator chasing a car and jumping and holding on, the crash and Terminator rolling off. It's almost shot for shot a repeat in those sections. Which is actually awesome.
The more I watch this, I'm convinced that The Terminator is more of a love story between Sarah Connor and Kyle Reese, this scene looks so natural and clear, it can all be seen in their eyes. Why can't we make more of these type of movies again
Sadly true. That generation of directors, like Cameron, do other stuff now or other type of movies. The new generation is so out of touch with reality, since they are on their phones 24/7, they just can't make movies like this anymore. Also the movie industry has changed as well and they just don't give money for such movies anymore.
@@oscarfun100 Sadly it does seem that movies have lost something in the 2000s that was present in earlier decades. It seems as if studios think audiences always want to see everything and the kitchen sink thrown at them on screen constantly and don't understand pacing, editing, timing, etc. Just use a bunch of CGI and overpaid actors who can't actually act and hope for the best. The Terminator always stands out in my mind because there are no 'big stars' in it to lend it weight, it depends wholly on the storyline and skill of the directing to keep it moving along at a tension-filled pace, giving just enough pauses to let the audience catch its breath and then, you're back at the frantic pace again. James Cameron really had that pacing down to a science and I love how he empowered his female characters without being condescending towards them or the audience.
This is one of my favorite scenes from this movie. It's simple yet brilliant, to have Sarah lean over just at the Terminator is walking by. Love the slowed down footage and the eerie effect done to the music. What a moment. And to see it so clear and colorful in 4K!
It's my personal favorite scene from the first film. If I had to choose a favorite scene, I would always choose this one. Because here in Tech Noir everything just fits together. The first meeting of the 3 protagonists, the action, the drama, the music, the tension. Everything was just right here.
Michael Biehn was the James Dean of the '80s and late '70s. Like Billy Idol and Kurt Russell, he defined one of the archetypes of "cool." An action hero with brain, brawn, and most importantly, heart.
For the love of God, somebody release the FULL movie with that quality!! James Cameron completely RUINED ALL of his old movies, with a horrible green filter. You, on the other hand, took the original version and set it on a whole another level. This is the best version of this scene I've ever watched.
This is the old version. One of the first I have done. This are two new versions. czcams.com/video/DqEY8jaEgSk/video.html czcams.com/video/mt4ESfabs-Y/video.html
One of the best action scenes. Watching it in the theatre you had to remind yourself that no way was he gonna kill her that early in the film but the tension was palatable. Her knocking the bottle off her table and ducks down just as he scans that area ....
Wow, the picture quality is amazing. I’ve never seen the image so clean and sharp. Good job cleaning the picture up. I feel bad for Linda Hamilton when she was running in that scene, she had sprained her ankle prior to filming and you can see her struggling to run.
The film quality has always been good. The last time you saw this was probably on a VHS tape and an analog television.. Remastering it onto 4K does not involve any "clean up". 35 mm film has at least as much resolution as 1080p and sometimes more than a 4k image. Films shot in early digital are the ones the effective resolution does not increase much when you upscale to a higher resolution.
@@michaeljorgensen790 but The Terminator was filmed on low quality film stock, due to the budget. Just imagine had they used the best film stock. I think it looks great, but some won’t like it, they prefer it not touched up like Cameron did here.
The Terminator is possibly the greatest "B-movie" ever made. By that i mean, it is the greatest low-budget sci-fi ever produced. The Terminator is a great inspiration for future filmmakers. Cameron showed us what can be possible on a small budget and its freaking amazing. T2 on the other hand is the greatest action movie ever made. Cameron showed us whats possible once youve established yourself in the industry. And its freaking phenomenal. I just wish we could get a new 5.1 remix for The Terminator. The .45 longslide should sound like a freaking cannon. The audience should be just as shocked and stunned by that weapon as the 35 year old Sarah Connors neighbors after the Terminator blew her head off. Theres an interesting deleted scene revealing the aftermath where Sarah Connors neighbors are running around in complete panic mode. But the newest 5.1 remix makes all of these bad**s weapons sound like squeaky toys, including the shotguns. You cant feel anything from a sound effect like that.
Lance Henriksen would've been a more obvious choice for an infiltration model Terminator, as originally scripted. Bland features, yet scrappy. Looks more like a follower of John Connor than a perfectly built killing machine.
I don't care who you are if Arnold walks into a club and doesn't pay nobody is gonna lay a hand on him I'd be straight up saying yea it's fine leave him 😅😅
The time travel stuff is confusing to me, but I've wondered if Reese wasn't originally John Connor's father, but when he was sent back it created a new John Connor that has better DNA and training. Like the first Connor barely scraped by, but Kyle's John Connor is physically optimized for destroying Terminators and better trained as a result of Sarah meeting him.
I remember when my big brother who is a big man himself, told me of his trip to a High Tech Industry Convention with all the latest technology in L.A. and while he was there he saw this movie, and while he was telling me about it I interupted him and asked you mean you could SHOOT HIM WITH A 12 GAUGE SHOT-GUN AND HE WOULD STILL GET UP!?!?!? He say YEE-UP!!! And it was just the way he was telling us about the movie was like the Spookiest Camp Fire Ghost Horror Story ever told!!! Man I slept with the lights on that night and my brother even let me as he was on the top bunk!!!
Best scene for me in any movie due to the sound transition from club to panic/suspense noise. Just amazing! Love all your videos and I need to upgrade to a 4K TV, looks amazing on the computer. PS: add some Conan the Barbarian clips (scene where they paint up like zebra camo). That movie was great, mainly because of Hans Zimmer. Music/feel is 70% of movies :)
Oh wow this scene looks really good in 4k. Love it. I remember watching this movie as a kid and loved it. Still to this day it's such a classic and amazing movie.
The detail of the Terminator's hair is impressive, at first it is long and after going through the fire it is short, wow, even at first I thought it was a mistake, great.
I was born in 1985. We went to see Terminator 2 in theaters when I was six years old. Then I saw Terminator and was so confused as a child. Both are great movies.
One thing that some of the comments here say that I agree with is that the first "T" movie was your basic low budget 1980's style horror/slasher flick, and it did a really good job too in that regard.
I love Arnold.Greetings from Shanghai.I was scared when I saw the movie for the first time at my youth.Almost at the end,the metal skeleton stood up from fire,and I wondered why they ran into a factory which was a dead end haha. Then I felt thrilled and respectful when I watched Terminator in cinema during Film Festival around 2015.
De todas las versiones de Terminator esta es la mas sordida porque sin tener unos grandes efectos especiales transmite una gran crudeza e incluso dramatismo.refleja un gran pesimismo.verla ahora cuarenta aňos despues con el tema de la inteligencia artificial pone la piel de gallina
I would like nothing more than for them to hire me. Because I would like to do this daily most of all. To remaster movies to 4K HDR/Dolby Vision in the best quality.
I was a kid at end of 90s and early 2000s. When I had watched this movie and saw Terminator's endoskeleton for the first time, it was really scary to me. Now I remember these moments with smile :))) That movie is one of the most important sci-fi movies.

By far, this is one of the most iconic scenes in any of the Terminator movies.
This is what all Terminator movies should be about, the sheer panic of being chased by one of these machines.
This scene is insane. The force perspective of the Terminator is a great shot. He appears to be a giant compared to that one dancer. I’m sure that was done on purpose. The despair in Sarah’s face reads “my time has come.” The music builds up and Reese barely makes the save. So much going on in a just a few minutes.
People who made and acted in movies knew what they were doing back then unlike today's trash.

It's ok for a man to find another man insanely handsome. Be careful on the internet.
That's a good point, yet there's the fact that Kyle Reese grew up in a post-apocalyptic world living off of Two-Day Old Coyote and such...it'd be interesting to see how the character would look if they factored more long-term effects of malnutrition, poor hygiene, extreme stress and trauma into the physical composition. I heard J. Cameron had that on his mind and M. Beihn trained to get that kind of a look for his portrayal of a resistance soldier...
He was a busy guy back then because later on he helps Ripley kill that big alien thingy. :)
@@paulzeigler1075 When you see Reese naked at the beginning he has a ton of scars on his body, they definitely put effort into making him look like he had been through hell.
This movie reminds me of my childhood. It was so exciting growing up during the time of blockbuster movies. I remember my aunt being so full of youth, life, and vitality. She would always come to our house on Saturdays with the latest VHS tape releases. This was one of them.
There are many Terminator movies but only one in the fascinating 80's
Unbeatible decade.
I do miss the 1980's!
40 years ago was T1. Or the difference between WWII ending and people watching this movie in the cinema for the first time.
I grew up with this terminator! It gave me nightmares as a child and I embrace it so much. The details of James Cameron were always of interest!
Tech Noir was sooooo eighties. 😊
Yep. Because it had a SOUL. The thing modern generation will never understand.
actually, this movie inspired the literal music genre of tech noir through this club.
@julienvalley28.
No it didnt, stop being so dramatic
@@TheOzzMission I always compared the industrial look of the club to the nightmare future with all the flashing lights and metal.
The 80s ruled. I wish I had a T1 time machine to go back there.
The bouncer guy must have thought this guy's grip strength was quite something.
😂😂
LOL "Well golly my hand looks like a bunch of fat worms all going off in different directions." :)
Him and the naked biker both know that grip
"Come with me if you want to live" - This is such a classic scene and they paid homage to it so much in T2. That line, Arnie being thrown out the window, the terminator chasing a car and jumping and holding on, the crash and Terminator rolling off. It's almost shot for shot a repeat in those sections. Which is actually awesome.
That shotgun blast sound, massive damage, massive emotion
The more I watch this, I'm convinced that The Terminator is more of a love story between Sarah Connor and Kyle Reese,
this scene looks so natural and clear, it can all be seen in their eyes.
Why can't we make more of these type of movies again
Love story with an uzi 😂🎉
Hollyweird ruined movies with the woke mind virus, that's why.
This is still iconic to this day, right?
There will never be another movie like this as hard as people try.
@@beardineric6558 you said it.
the 80s produced excellent films. other films have tried to replicate it, yet can't match up or surpass them.
@@abdulqudz89 true
Wrong
Jk
This is SO tense!
They don't make movies like this anymore.
And 4K quality just rocks 🤘🤘🤘
Sadly true. That generation of directors, like Cameron, do other stuff now or other type of movies. The new generation is so out of touch with reality, since they are on their phones 24/7, they just can't make movies like this anymore. Also the movie industry has changed as well and they just don't give money for such movies anymore.
@@oscarfun100 Sadly it does seem that movies have lost something in the 2000s that was present in earlier decades. It seems as if studios think audiences always want to see everything and the kitchen sink thrown at them on screen constantly and don't understand pacing, editing, timing, etc. Just use a bunch of CGI and overpaid actors who can't actually act and hope for the best. The Terminator always stands out in my mind because there are no 'big stars' in it to lend it weight, it depends wholly on the storyline and skill of the directing to keep it moving along at a tension-filled pace, giving just enough pauses to let the audience catch its breath and then, you're back at the frantic pace again. James Cameron really had that pacing down to a science and I love how he empowered his female characters without being condescending towards them or the audience.
Next thing you know, they be calling Him the Damn Phone Book killer!!😂🤣
Still cannot realize why he needs to kill books. 😆
Who knew that knocking over a bottle with your elbow could save humanity? I’ve always been in awe of this scene. Timeless.
Incredible quality, UHD, thanks soooo much for the upload! Terminator 1 is my favorite movie of all time!
I have it also on disc.😉

@@moviesandpopcorn2958new 4K T1 was just announced
When the Terminator is on the ground after being shot out the club, the glass shards on the ground and arnold's skin and face are so detailed.
One of the best movies ever
Without any doubt. I've probably watched it 50 times and it never gets boring.
El Exterminador de 1984 es para mi una de las mejores películas de acción y ciencia ficción que se han realizado... Escenas tan épicas
This scene should deserve an Oscar every year from now on...respect...today's movies are null compared to this...
This is one of my favorite scenes from this movie. It's simple yet brilliant, to have Sarah lean over just at the Terminator is walking by. Love the slowed down footage and the eerie effect done to the music. What a moment. And to see it so clear and colorful in 4K!
It's my personal favorite scene from the first film. If I had to choose a favorite scene, I would always choose this one. Because here in Tech Noir everything just fits together. The first meeting of the 3 protagonists, the action, the drama, the music, the tension. Everything was just right here.
A great scene from the movie but It is unfortunate that the blonde woman in the orange top, dances at 2:02 and then sits at 2:10 🙃
@@Chris-gz2yz
Her twin
People think of Terminator as action movies but the orginal is most definitely a horror/thriller movie, and a damn good one too. Miss the 80s!
Best movie for ever. James Cameron and Gale Anne Hurd was amazing.👍👍👍
Michael Biehn was the James Dean of the '80s and late '70s. Like Billy Idol and Kurt Russell, he defined one of the archetypes of "cool." An action hero with brain, brawn, and most importantly, heart.
For the love of God, somebody release the FULL movie with that quality!!
James Cameron completely RUINED ALL of his old movies, with a horrible green filter.
You, on the other hand, took the original version and set it on a whole another level.
This is the best version of this scene I've ever watched.
This is the old version. One of the first I have done.
This are two new versions.

Can we talk about how good the music was? Ambiance was phenomenal
Man, it's totally clean.
One of the best action scenes. Watching it in the theatre you had to remind yourself that no way was he gonna kill her that early in the film but the tension was palatable. Her knocking the bottle off her table and ducks down just as he scans that area ....
That cop was lucky he requested that ambulance. He needed it for himself.
😂😂
Linda Hamilton is so young here 😊❤ great flick. What memories
Wow, the picture quality is amazing. I’ve never seen the image so clean and sharp. Good job cleaning the picture up.
I feel bad for Linda Hamilton when she was running in that scene, she had sprained her ankle prior to filming and you can see her struggling to run.
The film quality has always been good. The last time you saw this was probably on a VHS tape and an analog television.. Remastering it onto 4K does not involve any "clean up". 35 mm film has at least as much resolution as 1080p and sometimes more than a 4k image. Films shot in early digital are the ones the effective resolution does not increase much when you upscale to a higher resolution.
@@michaeljorgensen790 but The Terminator was filmed on low quality film stock, due to the budget. Just imagine had they used the best film stock. I think it looks great, but some won’t like it, they prefer it not touched up like Cameron did here.
This Film is an absolute timeless classic!!! Masterpiece.
When I was kid watching this it was like a horror film, Arnold looks so sinister it's creepy..a true classic James Cameron masterpiece!
1:04 - keep an eye at the top left hand side. that was likely reese sneaking in.
Amazing spot! Never noticed that before.
Holy shit you're right, that does look like Reese. Excellent spot.
nice catch!
Great spot
Ah, 1984... when a "hot minute" meant exactly what it sounds like it means: a very short period of time.
2024 and this scene is still a goddamned classic, this movie will live forever as one of the most intense action movies of all time.
Yup. I just, and wont pick between Terminator, Predator, and Aliens. Two with Arny and two with Michael Biehn. All were nonstop action films.
We need more films like this to really bring out the best memories of the old times.
James Cameron . Changed Hollywood .
There is a good send-up of Cameron in Future Man's episode Pandora's Mailbox
Good remaster. Doesn't change the original visual tone in any way, doesn't do something stupid with the framerate and doesn't change any audio.
Thank you. Glad you like it. 😊
Playing in my local cinema, watched it last week and going again this week. James Cameron's masterpiece.
The Terminator is possibly the greatest "B-movie" ever made. By that i mean, it is the greatest low-budget sci-fi ever produced. The Terminator is a great inspiration for future filmmakers. Cameron showed us what can be possible on a small budget and its freaking amazing.
T2 on the other hand is the greatest action movie ever made. Cameron showed us whats possible once youve established yourself in the industry. And its freaking phenomenal.
I just wish we could get a new 5.1 remix for The Terminator. The .45 longslide should sound like a freaking cannon. The audience should be just as shocked and stunned by that weapon as the 35 year old Sarah Connors neighbors after the Terminator blew her head off. Theres an interesting deleted scene revealing the aftermath where Sarah Connors neighbors are running around in complete panic mode. But the newest 5.1 remix makes all of these bad**s weapons sound like squeaky toys, including the shotguns. You cant feel anything from a sound effect like that.
Yeah great comment
Its not a B-movie!!
@@thomasstudstrup5028it is
Robocop and Max Max are right up there in the top half dozen.
Undeniable truth: Arnold was the best choice to interpret the terminator.
Lance Henriksen would've been a more obvious choice for an infiltration model Terminator, as originally scripted. Bland features, yet scrappy. Looks more like a follower of John Connor than a perfectly built killing machine.
I don't care who you are if Arnold walks into a club and doesn't pay nobody is gonna lay a hand on him I'd be straight up saying yea it's fine leave him 😅😅
To be honest, the haziness was a large part of the terror of the original.
Do you know something ive finally realized after all this time?? Before they make love, Kyles life is just as important as Sarahs
The time travel stuff is confusing to me, but I've wondered if Reese wasn't originally John Connor's father, but when he was sent back it created a new John Connor that has better DNA and training. Like the first Connor barely scraped by, but Kyle's John Connor is physically optimized for destroying Terminators and better trained as a result of Sarah meeting him.
I remember when my big brother who is a big man himself, told me of his trip to a High Tech Industry Convention with all the latest technology in L.A. and while he was there he saw this movie, and while he was telling me about it I interupted him and asked you mean you could SHOOT HIM WITH A 12 GAUGE SHOT-GUN AND HE WOULD STILL GET UP!?!?!? He say YEE-UP!!!
And it was just the way he was telling us about the movie was like the Spookiest Camp Fire Ghost Horror Story ever told!!! Man I slept with the lights on that night and my brother even let me as he was on the top bunk!!!
Best scene for me in any movie due to the sound transition from club to panic/suspense noise. Just amazing! Love all your videos and I need to upgrade to a 4K TV, looks amazing on the computer. PS: add some Conan the Barbarian clips (scene where they paint up like zebra camo). That movie was great, mainly because of Hans Zimmer. Music/feel is 70% of movies :)
Hans Zimmer? Basil Poledouris my friend, not Hans.
@@bigd7696
Yeah, the red dawn guy!🎉
The Terminator is one of my favorite documentaries
While I got what you say, I correct that "Idiocracy" _is_ the documentary! 😆 Look at democrats - it's small copy of those ppl.
Oh wow this scene looks really good in 4k. Love it. I remember watching this movie as a kid and loved it. Still to this day it's such a classic and amazing movie.
That's exactly what I was thinking...great re-master! I'd buy it on 4K UHD at that current quality and I'm watching it on a 2024 iMac :)
Timeless classic, saw back when first released at theater. Perfect action sci-fi flick 👏👏👏
Dude fires pump action shotgun like full auto wow 😮
aaah the 80's. Golden movies era!
That guy in the glasses dancing in slow mo makes me laugh everytime😅
The 4k HDR quality is amazing. You suddenly see all the details and all the flaws you didn’t notice in the original movie
studios should hire you to make this kind of work man, Great stuff, Jawdropping quality.
I'm trying, but so far nothing. Have already contacted several studios, but never got an answer.
Seriously! Amazing quality! The Abyss would be cool to see. Thank you 👏
Great
Right up there with Parliament Cinema Club that have done awesome 4K with Blade, Troy, and some old movie content
This masterpiece MUST be all in 4K! Our grand-grand-children will watch it with the same excitement we did. Your work is great, thank you!
0:54 without even looking at him 😂😂
The detail of the Terminator's hair is impressive, at first it is long and after going through the fire it is short, wow, even at first I thought it was a mistake, great.
The lil extra shot at 3:12
always loved that
Linda was gorgeous in T1. Totally ripped in T2.
It's incredible now in 4k with this details, now you can realize more better the masks of skin they used.
I was born in 1985. We went to see Terminator 2 in theaters when I was six years old. Then I saw Terminator and was so confused as a child.
Both are great movies.
You came from the future to watch Terminator 1
Of all the 4K restorations I’ve seen this is by far superior!
This Quality HD is making this Masterpiece Movie so FUTURISTIC and todays TRENDS.
I remember how scared I Was as a boy...damn right
One thing that some of the comments here say that I agree with is that the first "T" movie was your basic low budget 1980's style horror/slasher flick, and it did a really good job too in that regard.
Dope how saving sarah connor scene mimics T2 saving John Connor
This the best movie terminator the all movies about Terminator.
Michael Biehn so great in this, Aliens, and the Abyss.
Incredible sequence!
Thanks , glad you like it. Have a nice sunday! 😊🤘👋
absolutely brilliant scene, so compelling, so much tension and fear! And the upscale makes it look incredible!
Something falls down on the floor, Sarah picks It up and Terminator doesn't see her. That's what saves her Life. Fate. Destiny.
counter -- Kyle is alrdy there by then. T makes a move on Sarah he pulls the gun jus the same. 'no fate but what we make 4 ourselves' :-)
@@rvog6584 I disagree.
I love Arnold.Greetings from Shanghai.I was scared when I saw the movie for the first time at my youth.Almost at the end,the metal skeleton stood up from fire,and I wondered why they ran into a factory which was a dead end haha. Then I felt thrilled and respectful when I watched Terminator in cinema during Film Festival around 2015.
Mind blowing jaw dropping cinema.
De todas las versiones de Terminator esta es la mas sordida porque sin tener unos grandes efectos especiales transmite una gran crudeza e incluso dramatismo.refleja un gran pesimismo.verla ahora cuarenta aňos despues con el tema de la inteligencia artificial pone la piel de gallina
😳👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 They need to hire you. Damn! So good! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I would like nothing more than for them to hire me. Because I would like to do this daily most of all.
To remaster movies to 4K HDR/Dolby Vision in the best quality.
The Terminator is still James Cameron's best film.
Nah it's gotta be Aliens (everyone is entitled to their opinion). This is bloody awesome though.
Whoever did this remaster should have done T2 instead of Cameron lol
Thank you. It's always nice to hear that my work is appreciated.
you should done true lies bud
I was a kid at end of 90s and early 2000s. When I had watched this movie and saw Terminator's endoskeleton for the first time, it was really scary to me. Now I remember these moments with smile :))) That movie is one of the most important sci-fi movies.
Even after all the years this Movie stands out as really brilliant ! Arnie is so good.
