- One of the most famous shootouts in movie history! (In my opinion.)
On this scene, the Terminator tried to kill Sarah Connor but Kyle Reece stopped it by shooting it with a shotgun and caused a gunfight between them. All credit goes to MGM! Enjoy folks! - Zábava

T2 was a action movie. This was a sci-fi horror movie...
More like thriller
I disagree. T2 had just as much horror as this one. The hospital scene is a great example. It's one of many elements missing from the newer movies.
I prefer this movie over all of the others followed by Terminator Salvation.
Exactly. Cameron learned from Aliens: when you can't repeat the horror you must go for big action instead.
Yeah Halloween the futuristic version. Arnold was every bit Michael Myers and Linda Hamilton was Laurie Strodes and Michael Biehn was Dr. Loomis.
Arnold was terrifying in this movie. T1 is a masterpiece.
Best combination of horror and sifi and action and good pace... T1 and the predator have so much in common
Other terminator movies? I dont really know.
Anthony Nero one of the greatest movies ever made in the 80’s miss it every day
He was awesome, like a cybernetic Michael Myers.
@@TheWuCepticon1981 Michael Myers just would not DIE!!! Lol and neither would the T-800.
When a 1984 movie is better than a 2019!
Exactly smh.
Shouldn't surprise anyone. Jaws is from the '80s. The Wrath of Khan; still the best 'Trek film made. Close encounters of the Third Kind. Aliens is from 1986; and is the best sequel ever made, it may never meet it's equal. The music from 80-'86 will still get radioplay in another hundred yrs. Can't even remember the last time I heard a memorable contemporary tune. At least the videogames today are better. But I'd choose a rocking soundtrack to life, over videogames; any day of any week.
1984 was THE best year for movies.
@@rocketassistedgoat1079 don't forget The Thing and almost every other movie Carpenter made in the 80's

The Thing was great, but Carpenter's a bit of a hack, in no way is anything else he's done in the same class as Aliens (nothing is, tbf) or Close Encounters.
“Tech Noir” is the coolest name for a disco club.

@@longiscadenotas4890 I didn't know it was a real club.
@@briansmith5239 No it was never a real club.
I was just kidding. I just said it because the street names and filming location actually does exist in Los Angeles. But no the club never existed.
The best acting Arnold ever did...He was PERFECTLY cast as the terminator. no doubt
Casting Arnold as the Terminator was James Cameron's idea. He was originally slated to play Reese.
MICHAEL WOODS besides predator
agreed 😂
Only under Cameron's directions he was perfectly used as a Terminator.
Exactly! After T2 the whole thing became just ridiculous and stupid ...
Love how Kyle's knowledge of terminators is demonstrated by his fighting style, ducking and weaving and diving for cover, never staying in one place for a long time, while periodically letting off shots to distract or temporarily incapacitate it, and then waiting until the Terminator's good and distracted before he goes in again. It shows us his character before he even says anything, a skilled fighter and a lightning-quick strategiser, who is on familiar terms with his enemy. modern action films would just have him rush in, all guns blazing, explodey and chaotic, the camera would be all shaky, and we wouldn't know who the good or bad guys are. Also love how Linda Hamilton plays Sarah before the shooting starts, looking around, and occasionally nodding in time to the music in a effort to dispel her anxiety.
100 percent right!!! Terminator films after 3D turned into transformer movies 😂
yes holy shit. skilled warrior
This film's air-tight bois!
1:15 The music, the lights, the colors, the club, the people, everything that was amazing about the 80’s is in this scene. T-800, Sarah, and Reese are the icing on top of the cake.
This movie will forever be immortalized as one of the greatest Sci-Fi films ever.
❤
Actually it's already been voted the number one sci-fi film ever made.
Don’t forget the Canada Dry bottle that saved humanity.
Predator also!!
Almost like a movie made in the 80s is going to portray what it’s like being in the 80s 🤯🤯
Still amazes me they made this on a budget of $6 Million. How many hundreds of millions did they drop on Genesys and Dark Fate, and for what?
You do realize that inflation is significantly different now than it was 35 years ago.

@@marthastubbs8321 That was on Terminator 3 but T2 was Fiedel
Indeed
He sucked with true lies. Movies is unwatchable due to his distracting score...
There’s something gritty about T1 that isn’t in any of the sequels, not even T2. It’s kind of reminds me of The Warriors.
The first one was more horror/slash with little of sci-fi.
Then by the sequel and beyond it went to be action movies.
It's the sweat. They filmed T1 in the summer.
Also T1 was a low budget film. Low budget films always had more grit to them.
@@ericglasgow7087 So if T3 (2019) had a thousand dollars in budget, would it have been making billions in the box office?
@@algordo1997 that's a weird question I was just saying low budget films look more gritty then high budget ones plus T1 didn't make awhole lot in theaters T2 is what made the franchise a multi million to billion blockbuster hit so no T3 being low budget wouldn't have made the movie better it needed the original creators or people who new what the franchise really was.
What a year 1984 was!! The Terminator, Ghostbusters, Beverly Hills Cop, Nightmare on Elm Street, Karate Kid, Gremlins and Temple of Doom all came out that year!!
damn ghostbusters 1 also? fucking nice movie year

That part where Sarah knocks the drink over and the Terminator drifts by as the music echoes is so perfectly done. It's like something from a dream.
You're a valuable person. I know it because the last sentence of your comment.
It’s what I’ve always thought and felt, looking at that perfectly shot scene!
Absolutely true. First Terminator is just all around awesome.
Curious fact: Cameron's idea of this movie came from a nightmare he had xD
ARX78 Agreed. The entire film is just a masterpiece. The 2nd one is also really good, just a different feeling from the first one.
There was something dark around "The Terminator" that they never could, or wanted, to replicate. Or maybe it was something in the film making. This Tech-Noir scene is a master piece. One of the things, I believe, made this movie so dark was the fact that we could see people getting killed in a more or less gory way. As we go further into the saga, I think the movies became more "family friendly", kind of Disney-like. I couldn't say for sure, but I have the feeling that the first terminator movie was set mostly on night scenes.
The plot was also simple at this point. Just two time travelers fighting in a neutral land. Nothing complex like multiple universes, nano robots, and stuff like that... Just a powerful cyborg on the hunting.
The movies of the 80's had something darker in this respect. Do you remember Highlander? A lot of similarities. Why those movies were so good? Why was Nightmare on Elm street so scary...
Alvaro Mp All movies before the year 2000 had great screenwriters, producers, and directors. They all had the goal to produce movies that told awesome stories. Nowadays, stories are never told. Instead, agendas are sold.
@@taoist32 yeah now too many movies are mostly rollercoaster rides, jump scare attempts and CGI demoing.
Empty/shallow, no sense of importance, nothing to remember
T1 has a very grim, unsettling atmosphere, and is quite realistic and serious. Also, very few people point this out - there is no humor in it whatsoever, and that only amplifies the dark tone of this masterpiece. Still my favorite in the series....
The problem now is there is a too much emphasis on getting away from the R rating because the studios want to take in more money. T2 was toned down in order to to achieve this and that is why the original Terminator is powerful and dark and the sequels are not. Cameron made a classic and he didnt tone things down so kiddies could see the movie. Many a great film has been destroyed by wanting to keep things on a PG 13 level.
Sometimes, having a low budget can bring out the best in film-makers.
2:03 Is probably one of my favourite, most underrated and suspenseful slow mo shots in cinematic history.
"Come with me if you want to get pregnant!!"
😂😂😂😂thats bad ay
Don't know if she came but he definitely did.
Like anyone is gonna say no.
Kyle Reese first love...
Hardy30680 he was on that nofap rage from the future that’s why he so aggressive, nutted hella hard in Sarah
Fak yu assword
Michael Biehn is so underrated in this movie.
Alex S he made Kyle Reese more Believable and memorable at the same time
Biehn played the part perfectly
Its hard to compete with arnold
He was great at Aliens too👍
It's because of this movie that they picked him up in aliens it was literally a two week notice because the original actor dropped out.
It really doesnt matter how many times I've seen this, I still come back for more
1:37 In the german version she says "Hey, Hercules didn't pay!". Don't know if that's a dig at Arnold's first movie but it always made me chuckle.
B.U.V. 82 you mean in German Translated version? Well, it’s not so bad as in Russian VHS amateur translation version, by Leonid Volodarskiy.
Exactly. We also grew up with Arnold having a badass voice without the accent he's known for in the English-speaking speaking world.
B.U.V. 82 well, i wasn’t Grew up at Russian amateur VHS movies translation, when I was a kid, I used to watch movies at TV (with Russian translation) then, i used to watch movies on web, than I start learning English at my spare time (not only at school) and than, I start watching movies at English language in original.
YEW HAV STRUCK HYERKYULES
When they came to do the german language version Arnold offered to do his lines again as he spoke german. The studio refused because to german ears Arnold austrian accent sounds like a farmer.
"Come with me if you wanna live" - One of the best lines in film history.
Sounds kind of stupid actually (great movie!).
Plot Twist: She's suicidal

@@condorgaming4000 I was thinking the same thing. What if she didn't want to live and said no. I mean she was riding a bike, working at a dead end job as a waitress, and most likely was going half and half on the rent and utilities since she had a roommate.
1) Worst timing ever:
Sarah calls home to talk to Ginger...AND THE TERMINATOR HEARS THE MESSAGE, AND FINDS OUT WHERE SHE IS!!
2) Best timing ever:
Sarah drops her drink...AND THE TERMINATOR WALKS ON BY AND DOESN'T SEE HER AS SHE BENDS DOWN TO PICK IT UP!!
Great classic movie!!

That is one of the most horrifying moments in the movie. Seeing a guy getting hit with point-blank shotgun rounds...and then seeing him get back up like it was nothing more than a mere inconvenience.
Linda Hamilton doesn't get credit in these movies.In this scene she is so,so Innocent and scared.T2 She was BADASS.
She had to be. She faced off with the T800 at the factory in the end and killed him. She learned her importance as the mother of the resistance leader and did everything to ensure his survival.
I agree. She's a very underrated actress. Linda did an excellent job in Terminator movies.
She got a lot of credit for Terminator 2. As for the first film, the best 'human' characters are arguably Paul Wincott and Lance Henriksen.
Her eyes are very different. I guess Hollywood corrupted her in real life too
She's an awesome actress
Fun fact: the cop whos squas car the terminator takes is the same guy that is taking pics of the Terminator in T2 when Arnie goes through the window in the mall. Thats why there is a close up of his face, he is shocked to see the same guy 👍👍
Umar hussain You mean 1L-19? He also helped write T2

you are an embarassment the dept! were do you see yourself in 10 years>?
Poor 1L-19, probably had to go change his pants after seeing Arnold in the Mall on part 2.
no way! i never ever noticed that
You would think after the way the Terminator bounced his head off of that squad car, he lost his memory, but I guess after seeing the same face after all these years, jarred his memory big time.
The Terminator really likes breaking people's hands.
itsybitsyzombie you forgot to say please😁. Ahhhhhhhhhh get him off!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Because people like putting their hands on him without his permission.
Talk to the hand!
Polygon Juan ok, I couldn't come with a better one. You win.
Considering what happened with the boyfriend of Sarah's roommate and the three punks in the beginning, the Tech Noir security guy was EXTREMELY lucky.
part at 2:04 still sends shivers down my spine. the way those old film cameras captured light, he doesn't even look human. Just some vague approximation with ill intent.
The Terminator staring at Sarah and walking slowly is the darkest moment in any sci-fi to date.
That was actually slowed down to make it more dramatic
I just realized that the car Kyle Reese blew up burnt off Arnold's eyebrows.
And a lil bit of his hair. Lol
And hair.
Isaac Deswood and his hair which then gave him his iconic Terminator look with his dark shades and leather biker jacket
Isaac Deswood same here I was wondering when he lost his eye how come he doesn’t have eyebrows anymore lol
well shit the bed, ive always wondered why his hair suddenly changed
There are ONLY two terminator movies. After that its all trash

Reese : "Damn it, there goes my ride."
A Brotato Chip Dude it should’ve gone in that direction with Genisys
Lmfao I just thought that at that part. What a way to unknowingly destroy the world
Underrated part for me was The Terminator’s cold demeanor as he casually crushes that guys hand while the lady’s jaw just drops.
Love that part too. The guy was pretty big too. But Arnold made himself look way bigger with how he brought the bouncer to his knees with a simple squeeze of the hand.
@@IvanBFit But Arnold himself was also big, then, given he was a 7x Mr. Olympia. He still had the big muscles.

@@simonyang3348Dr. loomis" He's NOT human!
He has Intense and terrifying presence in Terminator 1, honestly I never really thought that he was a great actor until I watched Pumping Iron and saw that he is actually very humorous and jokes allot in real life compared to how he pulls off this scary seriousness in T1. I think he acts great in Predator also, perfect roles for him.
Steel Fury Predator’s ok but his casting as Conan is almost on par with the Terminator
Arnold as Dutch in Predator is my favorite role of his but certainly Terminator is his most iconic.
I agree Arnold is actually a beter actor than most give credit it for. In Predator he was believable as a leader who his men rally behind, and showed a range of emotions he normally doesn't get a chance to.
Arnold was always a great actor just no one ever noticed until he got older
Yeah Arnold is normally known for cheesy one liners in action films but when he plays a villain in a horror film (such as the first Terminator) he is very good at selling the literal killing machine aura.
It seems CZcams knows that Dark Fate sucked as its only suggesting T1 and T2 vids :D
such a shame they cant make movies like this anymore. or wont make movies like this anymore. then they go and fuck up the franchise with T3, Dark Fate, Genesys, etc.

I love the attention to detail in this scene. After the T-800 runs through the fire it's eyebrows get singed off, you can see this most noticeably when the machine replies on the police radio. This is also a pretty good detail, as it keeps in line with the whole "Conspicuous assassin" thing.

The pacing in this film is incredible.
I miss movies like this. I mean this is how movies used to get made. They knew how to build the tension and then the pay off was the action. Now they just go straight into the action where you really dont give a shit anymore.
"They knew how to build the tension and then the pay off was the action. Now they just go straight into the action where you really dont give a shit anymore."
And that is what happens when you have an entire generation of filmmakers raised on internet porn.
A major issue as well I think is that Hollywood is so terrified to flop a film (ie lose money) that they try to get a PG-13 rating slapped onto everything they make. That can really ruin a film as well. I mean, one of the most memorable scenes in this film was Arnold operating on himself, wasn't it? The first time you saw that scene, it's like nothing you had ever seen up until then :P
To be fair Christopher Nolan has made some incredible films over the last decade or so. Dark Knight, Inception, etc... But yeah this is a classic.
like da Titanic
I'm an ED doctor and this is one of my absolute favourite films. A few months ago we were setting a broken wrist, and when the bones crunched back into place the guy made the EXACT same sound that the bouncer does when the Terminator crushes his hand. I could have hugged the patient for that 😂

People say T2, but imo from opening scene to end credits, Terminator was the best of them all. Chills.
T2 is proof that blue is a very popular color.
I wouldn't say T2 is better but I consider it on par with the original. And it's because the two have such different styles. The first is basically a slasher film with a sci-fi backdrop. The second is a straight-up action film that expands on the sci-fi backdrop a bit. The second continues the story but doesn't simply remake the tone of the original, which is why it's on par for me.
People who say T2 were introduced at T2 and too young at T1. By the time they watched T1 they had already lived the T2 thing.
@@bigmaxy07
True. True. 🤔
@@bigmaxy07 I'm one of the people that watched T2 first, and as much as I love T2, I have to say T1 captivated me more, but for the wrong reasons. The main reason was how impactful it was to me to grasp the concept of Arnold playing a ruthless Terminator like this. No questions asked, no moral conundrums, no second thoughts, just carefree, violent murdering of innocent people. Quite the radical change. Up until I saw this movie for the first time, I never would've imagined Arnold playing a role like this.
The neon lights, the streets, the clothes and the people, everything gives a classic eighties tone to Terminator, perhaps that is where the sequels fail.
4:18 the best sit up of all time.
The two police detectives in this film are totally underrated. Based on their camaraderie, they carry themselves like two Vietnam era Veterans trying to make sense of a city gone sour with psychopaths, violence and other horrible criminal acts.
Like No Country for Old Men.

Fun fact: Many people, who worked on The Terminator thought that the movie might flop, even Arnie. But it turned out to be the one of the most hit sci-fi horror movies of all time. This movie is a living master-piece, which inspired younger generation of visual artists and special effects artists in that era. No doubt, the best sci-fi film ever made.
lamarlewis211 like Beverly Hills Cop 1, Predator 1, Commando, Top Gun, The Breakfast Club, The Shining and many more. '80s was a revolutionary era for Hollywood films and movies.
Yep, like Star Wars. The truly revolutionary movies have huge risk to them because they push boundaries and go in to the unknown. It makes you wonder what other potentially groundbreaking movies and ideas have been shelved before they were completed due to a lack of faith of those involved in making them.

The terminator is perhaps the greatest villain ever. Because most villains are either sadistic or just mentally ill. The terminator has none of those weaknesses. He is simply a cold blooded predator, with no other motivation than to kill Sarah Connor and anyone else who prevents him from carrying out his mission.
And that makes him by far the scariest thing you could ever encounter.
He’s a machine though, other villains are humans which can have a more personal connection to us. But yes the fact that the terminator is so cold and ruthless is traits that are missing in so many villains
And the fact he's a machine played by Arnold Schwarzenegger makes it all worthwhile.
Along with the Alien
The Terminator is one of the greatest films of all time in my opinion. It goes to show, even with a low budget....If you know how to tell a story, and you cast the characters right, You can make a masterpiece. It's also my favorite scene in the movie, when all 3 major characters collide in the story and the explosive effect.
"You're in a public place, you'll be safe"
The terminator proved them wrong.

Dysfunctional Dildo uhm ... Arnold was the bad guy from the start, there should have been no confusion on who was who. Granted we didn’t know why Kyle Reese was here and what side he was on up until this moment, but we knew exactly from the first scene who was the antagonist.
Yeah part one it was clear, who was who. Reese spares the homeless guy and the cop in the alley, and shoves everyone out of the way before he starts shooting here. Terminator has killed EVERYONE who has got in his way up until he let the bouncer off with a broken hand ( that's just because killing would have drawn too much attention ). You can tell who's good and who's bad easy. Part 2 you really cant tell, the first time I saw it I was wondering where the f*** is the good guy, has he not made it back yet lol? You don't know really until the mall shootout.
I love how they didn't show Arnie was a cyborg until Reese shoots him.
You can understand the reason why Kyle looks like a psycho if you see it from Sarah's perspective. Imagine being her, thinking "this guy follows me around"... then Arnold appears, the tables turn and all you have left is the perfect confusion.
vandal 33 He punched his hand through a mans chest, after speaking in a robotic way during the first scene he was in. If that didn't tell you what he was then idk...
"You're in a public place, so you'll be safe"
Never again was someone more wrong... xD
NΞWDORIΛ You're* in...
Yup. Why would a robot killer care about some meatbags other than Sarah?
NΞWDORIΛ more like it's a best thing to do but that's not a case in that situation they have no clue what it's all about or been to something no one ever done in that timeline.
tv tropes - Wrong Genre Savvy. The police thought they had a human serial killer, instead of a literal killing machine. If Arnie had been human, their actions would have made sense
@@toddkes5890 Exactly.
@@jackychang914874
Best terminator movie ever in my opinion. Seeing Arnold as a bad terminator running with a emotionless face across the alley trying to catch Sarah is terrific.
4:16 "Come with me if you wanna live." The first time of that classic Terminator phrase
I like how he's NOT himself in this movie.. He's just an uncanny nightmare with two legs!!
This movie has such amazing simplicity in brutality that it makes a brilliant movie. Also, it was perfect for Arnold. His lack of acting ability actually made his role so much more powerful and believable.
Did you know Oj Simpson was originally supposed to play that role?
I've heart that before but I think it was a myth. But then again, stranger things have happened.
Maybe, but I'm almost certain that James Cameron confirmed it. That he wasn't cast due to his pleasant persona & wasn't believable as a killer
I am very grateful OJ Simpson did not get the role.
how ironic
The production values of this first film went way beyond all the sequels, with the exception of T2. This film has real energy. It's gripping and absorbing.
02:03 I like it so so much when this amazing song starts sounding more and more distant as the Terminator passes through the crowd. I'm not someone who likes or knows how to dance, but this tune would move me to go wild :) Timeless scene!
He used the .. 45 long slide .. With laser sighting.
You know your weapons buddy!
LOLLLLLL you sir just made my day
FleckFlex Hardballer!
but first Uzi 9 milimitah!
12 guage auto-loadah...Phased plasma rifle in tha 40 watt range..."Only what you see, pal." Hahahaha. Awesome. And I always wondered why the terminator needs a laser sighting system, anyway. I mean, he's a damn cyborg, right? Shouldn't he have his own finely tuned targeting program on board? Ah well, great scene here, for sure!
No disrespect to Terminator 2 but this was the best Terminator film.
saxbend Nothing wrong with prefering Terminator over Terminator 2. I personally like Terminator more (just slightly, but both films awesome either way) due to the mix of Action and Horror-Like feel of the Film.
It's just down to taste really... the horror and dark elements made it better for me. T2 was a much bigger movie but not better in my opinion.
@@wilbertone3 agreed.
Oh I absolutely agree the first movie was the best.
@77Wells T2 Had Better Everything
I was born in 1989 and I grew up watching these classic movies on VHS. Amazing films I am a terminator fan as well and I loved them all. This scene is awesome and what I really liked about the car scenes for the movie making of those times is that certain modern films just cant replicate great car chases like they did before. I really like it when the car chases have less cgi as possible of course for certain sequences you have to use cgi but I do love the classic styled real no cgi chases they are awesome!
Movies were incredible and fun to watch in those times in the 80s and 90s.
Man it's all so perfect. The pacing. The change of the music. The very little details which make a great movie. You can watch it over and over and over again. Never gets boring.
Nowadays you don't find this well crafted movies. It's all rushed, uncreative and bloated with millions for crappy CGI.
The best intense, action scene ever. The slow motion is perfect, the lack of dialogue is great as well. Just let the scene speak for itself. It's also the most 80's thing ever.
Y la Escena del asalto ala Comisaria de Policia..es otra escena ÉPICA👍
Kyle Reece with his shotgun, epic moment.
James Heath *reese*
I heard THAT
James Heath Michael Beihn is awesome!
Most epic is that the kinetic impact of a 12 gauge pushes a 400 pound robot through a window...
@@TheGodParticle "I like to keep this handy, for close encounters..."
One of my favourite scenes in all of cinema. The tension before their inevitable encounter is golden.
It's all the little details of this film that makes it so good, this scene and the police shootout scene, and the music is just top class to create that air of tension and fear. How you can see the Terminator does get a shot off at Sarah, and it's only the split second reactions of Kyle shooting his hand that makes him miss. You even get to see the Terminator trying to repair the damage caused, later on in the film. It all adds up to being one of the best films ever made, and puts all the budgets of the newer films to shame!
Even better, I think they did something similar with T2 when Arnold shoots the T-1000 when they first cross paths in the maintenance hall.
I don't care how old Sarah Connor is. She's still a badass.
those sexy azz lips
Things you'll never see: Sarah Conner in a wheelchair.
Unless her right wheel is pressing on your throat during an impromptu interrogation. Then you'd definitely be seein' Sarah in a wheelchair.
She was a whiny bitch in this movie, until her experience hardened her. Then she became a badass.
@@rikk319
This is basically a "growing up" movie for Sarah. Which ofc Hollywood had to fuck up aswell with Genisys.
@@jayluck8047 you'll never see her because she will be too fast now that she has wheels
Watching this in 2019 has a pretty scary chilling factor to it. Seeing this 30 years ago in a theater would have been terrifying.
Every year here in Brazil Cinemark made a classics week, Terminator, Rocky, Rambo and Die Hard always play, and I always goes.
If they just re-release this movies with a massive ad campaign will be the best movie in years.
I watched this in a theater in West L.A. on opening night; I was 13, and had talked/begged my mother & sister into seeing this rather than "Stop Making Sense" (the Talking Heads concert film). It blew our minds!
@@Gilliganfrog Same for me, though I was 15, and in Santa Clarita. Tuesday nights used to be $1 movie night so we went then. We were blown away. It was the most amazing thing any of us had ever seen. It's all we talked about at school for a month.
@@syphiliticmindgaming7465: right on, bro
Fuck I wish I could have seen this original release in theaters.
I love this scene, even though the Lieutenant's advice is sound, he actually turns Sarah into a target! I love the way the music also turns into a haze as the Terminator searches the crowd...
He probably didn’t know who he was dealing with!
40 years old and it still a masterpiece movie.. outmatches any sci fi to this day!!
When terminator had a thriller concept to it, like it should. All action and cheesy lines now.
Right!?! Genesys was basically a Superhero film. When Arnie flew into the helicopter....🤦🏻♂️ Sheesh.
Like all movies, they always try make them available for all audiences. Id like a studio with the balls to say 'Fuck money we make billions a year, lets for once make an 18+ masterpiece like the good ol days"
Practical effects also make things look better. 5:15 "hmmmm how are we going to make the flames cpu are not good enough yet...... fuck it lets light the stuntman on fire we're paying him a lot of money'
And also you say all cheesy lines and action and its true.
This movie is an action, thriller, sci fi, horror and romance movie all in one. No shit comedy needed.
@10NA89
Yeah, it happened the same thing with Resident Evil videogames.
10NA89 what about T2 tho?
One of the best movie scenes ever.
"come with me if you want to live"
Yes
My favorite action sequence of all time. Mood, tension and action. Hasn't been equaled yet. Prove me wrong.
6 reasons why I love partying at Tech Noir:
1. It's on a great street w/ plenty else to do, even after you're wasted.
2. Great music.
3. You can get in without paying the cover charge.
4. They will replace your Canada Dry if you accidentally knock it over.
5. You get to meet a really great, lively and diverse crowd!
6. A great place to go if you really wanna live!!
2:00 It wasnt John Conner who saved the future, it was Canada Dry Ginger Ale.

🤣
Lmfao! 😂😂

Would make a great ad.
When cars get blown up it not only burns your clothes slightly but gives you a cool brush cut hair style...
he has an artifical, sythetic hair, tough against the fire.
szymusiek1980 Also it removes your eyebrows.
LOL
@@wumbodumbo4654 I've had my eye brows burned off. Lol. Too close to the fire pit. My arm hairs too.
Can you imagine 2:07 how funny it would be if the terminator started dancing with everyone else on the dance floor lol.
To try to blend in.😭😂😤🤧💯🤯
LOL 🤣
No
Lol if it actually did that and just stayed patient i think it would have succeeded the mission. Reese wouldn’t have seen it coming.
Compared with the torrent, derivative, and throwaway films of the current and recent sci-fi/action genre, this film not only still holds fascination and interest, but challenges and surpasses many contemporary films of this genre. The writing, pacing, story, execution, and overall presentation is commendable. Please don't appreciate what is given, recognize what the thing is, whether be it good or bad, then appreciate the good and if you prefer, the bad.
The Face expression from Arnold is damm creepy
U see how dangerous he is
He could be a great villain in any movie other than being a hero...
Except for the meathead bouncer-everyone's survival instinct wisely gets out of his way as he makes his way through the crowd. He really played off the role of the killing machine mission obsessed and paying little heed to anything else. He breaks the bouncer's hand more or less as an annoyance and afterthought-efficiency in it's most cold form.
1:46 😠
One of the best movies of all time👍🏽🇦🇺
Voy a hacer eso como su madre pinche ojoto
This is the best movie in the franchise. The rest had bigger budgets and sfx but none match the suspense and intensity of this one.
I believe that is Australia not austria
@@danieltorres7003 mai
One of the best scenes in the film. But then again, they're all so good. This film's perfection
The extra detail of the Terminators eyebrows being burned off and still be having smoke come of his clothes when he knocked out the cop and stole the car is impressive.
I could watch this, Rambo and robocop all Sunday long
PULP FICTION!!!YOU FORGET PULP FICTION!!!
Predator, Commando, Die Hard...
