  1. Terminator's are mass produced and their are different types of terminator's So their are multiple copy's of the Arnold type t101. Just like your headphones it's one model type but thousands are manufactured. The T-1 Battlefield Robot, also known as T-1 Ground Assault Vehicle or simply T1, is a fully autonomous Ground Offensive System and the first Terminator type. The liquid one is the t1000 a prototype model.

  2. "Why is Arnold in [T2] if he died in this one?" For the same reason two 2019 Toyota Corollas look alike. The cyborg in this movie is one particular model. If the AI wanted to, it could make a thousand robots that all looked like Arnold. So the Arnold-lookin' cyborg in the second movie is not the same Arnold-lookin' cyborg that got crushed in the hydraulic press. It's just the same make, model, and style. The bigger question is why did the AI give its cyborgs Austrian accents? That seems like a weird choice.

    Or maybe James Cameron is insinuating that Austrian accents sound like a robot who doesn't know how to speak like a proper human.

    AI: There! My AI cyborg infiltrator is finished. It will be able to sneak undetected into the midst of the human population of Los Angeles. Speak, my cyborg!
    CYBORG: Vot das ist dat tink are doink you?
    AI: Close enough. Go kill humans!

  3. I know some people are purists about classic films but T1 is one of those movies where I wouldn't mind if James Cameron went back and replaced the stop-motion FX with something a little less dated. He doesn't have to go all George Lucas with it, just smooth certain animations out a little, maybe clean up the greenscreen edges, etc. Hell, I wouldn't even be mad if they did a little deepfake trickery to make the fake Arnold head look less like a fake Arnold head. Some of the FX hold up but the obvious stop-motion and other janky FX take modern viewers out of it at the part of the movie where they should be the most in it.

    Robocop is another one of those where a modern pass on a couple of FX shots wouldn't go amiss (despite how belovedly meme'd one of the shots has become). I know fanboys, fangirls, and fanNBs will come at me about this opinion but you know what? I stand by it.

  4. Fun fact: the final shot of this movie was almost not done because a cop showed up since they were filming without a permit, They said it was for their "Student film project" and the cop at the scene let them go.

  5. If you noticed before kyle got to the bar he cocked the shotgun 2 times and 1 time he started to take it out from the coat,each time a fresh unused shell would have been ejected,so they get that wrong

  6. I was 34 when this was released in '84. I think I saw it two more times in theaters back then. Since then I've watched it dozens of times in all kinds of formats. A real stunner in its day, this is still a terrific film. T2 is better. Enjoy.

  7. Good reaction, just don't understand when one person in a couple hasn't seen a movie they're going to watch next, but the other just has to spoil some of the movie… All the while saying he didn't want to spoil T2 & that they won't watch the trailer for fear "it might be spoilery"…

  8. In a way, this movie DOES share some narrative deep structure with "Titanic". Both movies are about a young woman whose life is somehow threatened by a technological marvel with a name that begins in T. In both movies, a young man works hard to save her, and there is a short and sweet love story resulting. In the end, the young man dies still trying to save her, but she is not quite out of the woods yet. But meeting the young man has transformed and empowered her, and finally she honors his sacrifice by finding her own resourcefulness and saving herself. Then, in a bittersweet ending, she must go on without him, but she will always remember him.

  9. 25:48 You mentioned our two main cops will never get to apologize….There's a deleted scene of Lt Traxler lying wounded. When Reese and Sarah are making their escape, Traxler stops them and tells Reese to "do whatever it takes" before Traxler dies from his wounds

  10. fun factoid: there's a short vid on youtube ("harlan ellison and the terminator") of an interview with ellison, who explained that he'd heard cameron was unwisely humble-bragging how he'd "ripped off" the idea for the terminator from "a couple of 'outer limits' episodes" that ellison wrote. ellison sued and got some money and a movie end credit in the settlement.

  11. The ("naked") Terminator is actually not all stop motion. In 1984 they had to fall back on stop-motion whenever they were to show the full body walking, but when we just see his upper torso, that was a full-size puppet that some poor stagehand had to carry on his shoulders. It still looks really good, simply because REAL IS REAL and will always hold up, and often compares favorably to the lazy CGI they would typically fall back on now. The final scenes where the (now legless) Terminator crawls after Sarah was also the full-size puppet, apparently controlled through the floor beneath it. The thing had more than a thousand moving parts and took the better part of a year to build.

  12. Bridgette, you may think this was cool. Wait till you watch T2. Especially during the Terminator musical number. Who knew Arnold Schwarzenegger had such a lovely singing voice?
