/* ~~---- VIDEO INFORMATION ----~~ */

So The Terminator is one of those films that changed cinema. A classic of the genre it made many peoples careers and turned several of the cast members into household names. Everything about it is incredible and throughout this video I wanna break down the entire film scene by scene to talk about why it works so well. This video is packed with easter eggs, hidden details and a lot of things that I haven't seen pointed out before so I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I have making it.

Now though I normally start these videos by diving right into it I actually wanna start of by discussing where James Cameron was at before he made this movie.

Cameron was slowly scratching a name out for himself and this caught the attention of the people running the show behind Piranha 2. Brought on as a special effects supervisor he ended up replacing the original director after he was fired from the production. This guy had been let go over creative differences and unfortunately, Cameron ran into the same issues when he was working on the set.

Check out our video on TERMINATOR 2 here - https://youtu.be/iBmbnu5TL7M Unfortunately StudioCanal have blocked the video everywhere outside of the US so please use a VPN if you can't see it.

For anyone confused with the Terminator's designation, the endoskeleton is a T-800 and the outer skin design is Model-101, so you can have a T-800 with a different model number.

The "phased plasma ryefl in da fohty-watt rainch" bit is actually brilliant.

Reese said that the records were lost after the war. The Terminator had no idea what was available for weaponry back in 1984. It asks for a plasma rifle to test whether or not the technology was even available. It also is unsure as to what humans would have, which is why it flees from the cops after it crashes the car chasing Sarah and Reese. It isn't quite sure if it's chances in the event the police have weaponry capable of defeating it especially with it being damaged in the crash. When it ascertains that humans just have ballistic weapons it opts to go full on assault at the police station as it's timetable is shrinking. The flesh over the endoskeleton is deteriorating and it's cover will be gone soon.

I love how this movie subtely shows technology is already betraying humanity, the Terminator is using the police radio, Sarah's friend didn't hear the Terminator killing her boyfriend because she had headphones on and the Terminator found out Sarah was at the night club because of an answering machine

@eduardoamorim3746 3 years ago (edited)

You forgot to mention one my favorites things abouth this movie. The fact that Kylee always wanted to know what was Sarah thinking in that photo, cause she looked sad, and you descover that she was actually thinking about him! That blows my mind! It's so romantic and incredible. This is by far my favorite movie of all times.

I saw The Terminator in the cinema the year it was released. Went in not really expecting much, walked out completely blown away. Amazing film, infinitely quotable too.

4:43 that hard R man

Sarah has a dog at the end of the film as a precautionary means to detect any terminators. Think about it: she's been attacked by one once, who's to say it won't happen again while she's pregnant? She obviously remembered Reese mentioning that dogs were used to spot them.

What I always loved about this movie was the correspondence through time between Reese and Connor. Reese fell in love with the picture of Sarah, and was always wondering what she thought about. At the end of the movie Sarah, Connor was thinking about Reese when the child took her picture. Always moved me.

@da_hitmanhart6650 2 years ago

Reese being dumped in the alley from a height had nothing to do with human short comings and machine precision. It had everything to do with not having him set on the unimaginably hot ground that would’ve burned his feet up. If his feet goes then there goes the mission. Watch T-2 and you get a better look at the ground that the terminator is kneeled on. The terminator doesn’t feel pain so it can set down on the hot surface but a human on the other hand will suffer some incredibly severe burns that will render you pretty much unable to ever walk again.

This movie is a masterpiece! Cameron did so much with so little (lack of today’s CGI, small budget, time constraints). But the story is tight as a drum, the pacing is superb. the acting, atmosphere, and original score by Brad Fiedel truly made this move unforgettable.

@supremeownage8995 3 years ago

The only thing I felt you missed was during the Tech-Noir scene, you can see a few frames just as Reece jumps out and initially shoots the Terminator that he hits his arm, deflecting it just as the pistol discharges forcing him to miss Sarah. This is later seen directly with the Terminator having to fix the damage to his arm.

27:45 they're not watching the TV. They are keeping warm from the fire. It's a nice reveal. Of what is important in life. Do you understand

I just like to point out that James Cameron is a decent artist. Not only does he draw that picture of the Terminator, based off of his dream, but he also does all of the artwork in Titanic that is supposed to have been drawn by Jack (i.e. in the character's sketch book). When Rose is being drawn in the famous scene it is actually James Cameron doing it and because he is left-handed he is also doing it with his non-dominant hand because Jack is right-handed.

@jbear83 3 years ago

I’ve commented on other videos on the Terminator, and I had Really hoped you would have mentioned it, but alas no such luck. One of the best elements of the writing of this movie is that Kyle tells Sarah that she looked a little sad in the picture and that he often wondered what she was thinking about. When the picture is taken it is immediately after she says “I will tell you about him [Kyle], I owe him that much. For what it’s worth, in the short time we had together, we loved a lifetimes worth”. At that point the connection between them comes full circle and their love across time is fulfilled. One of the best love stories ever told.

Nothing better than the movies made during this time. Growing up as a child in the 90's these are always favorites and take me back to the good times: Terminator, Terminator 2, Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Home Alone, Karate Kid, Honey I Shrunk The Kids, Ghost Busters, Jakie Chan, Blood Sport, Rambo, Total Recall, Predator, Judge Dredd, ET, Short Circuit, Rocky, and Coming to America.

Former gun store manager here. The thought that a customer may decide to load a gun on the counter and shoot me didn’t ever come to mind. If someone wished to rob us they almost certainly would’ve already had a loaded gun on them anyway. Also, I’ve yet to meet a firearm’s salesman/saleswoman that didn’t carry their own loaded pistol on the job and wasn’t an enthusiast with more hours on the range than most cops have. Gun store robberies are extremely rare due to the insanely high risk of being shot and guarantee of being on camera. Banks are far more lucrative targets because the tellers don’t have a Glock 17 on their hips and a Springfield XDS in their pockets.

@xbaxdark 3 years ago

In regards to the Terminator making a batman exit after he's crashed the car, I often had similar thoughts of why he wouldn't just finish the job then and there but I'd always thought that perhaps it has done a damage assessment and calculated the situation as unfavorable. He is seen repairing himself from the damage caused by the car crash, the damage included an eye (affected targeting?) and the mechanical wrist tendons that would be needed to pull the trigger on a firearm. It's a little bit of a stretch of the imagination but it does make sense.

@BuildLancer 1 year ago

23:10 i think the terminator ran away not just because police, but also because his eye was damaged which he removes after returning to his room, it could have anticipated the dead human eye would affect its targeting also the wrist was damaged too. so it may have figured it was better to retreat and repair than sustain more damage at that point.
