Not the only movie. But it means that the Terminator not only failed to prevent the birth of John Connor, he actually caused it to happen. John would be 23 years older than his his father. This also means it's possible that John himself could have slept with Kyle's mother, meaning Kyle would be John's son and his father. John could actually be his own grandfather.

Kyle mentions the picture that caused him to fall in love with Sarah Connor. He says he had always wondered what she was thinking when the picture was taken. At the end of the movie Sarah's picture is taken while she was thinking of Kyle Reece. When she pays the boy we see it is the picture that would cause Kyle Reece to fall in love with her. Is this why he fell in love with Sarah Connor, because it was Kyle she was thinking about, 23 or 24 years before Kyle was born?

I have always loved that Reese wondered what Sarah was thinking in the picture. And she was thinking about him.

The punk at the beginning is Bill Paxton(RIP). He played a marine in Aliens. The actor playing Kyle Reese(Michael Biehn) had a major role in Aliens as well also playing a marine.

Thank you for this reaction, Kat. While I'm not as big a Terminator fan as others are, it was a lot of fun watching you react to it and enjoy it. Saying that Matt was a nice guy, enjoying the stop motion from you was delightful. While not a true horror movie, I can see how it can be deemed that way. Thanks again, Kat. Keep the magic coming.

The natural human reflex is that when you are going to turn your head you first move your eyes so that you can see what you are turning towards. In an effort to make his character less than human, Arnold made the deliberate choice to reverse that. When he's chasing after Sarah in the stolen cop car, he first moves his head and then his eyes. It's a very subtle and yet super effective way to make the Terminator just a little "off" and a bit creepy.

James Cameron's first choice for the Terminator was OJ Simpson. The studio told him that nobody would buy The Juice as a killer. Edit: Somebody below pointed out that I got the idea backwards. It was the executives who wanted OJ and Cameron said no.

I love the way you 'get all the bits', just the look on your face when the kid takes the picture, I could tell you knew. You're my favourite reactor: you're smart, and your face is SO expressive. Look forward to seeing you watch T2... Arnold first movies were Pumping Iron (about his bodybuilding), and Hercules in New York... his big break came with Conan The Barbarian (around '81).

41:46 Think you haven't cried enough yet? Reese told Sarah at the Tiki Motel that he spent years looking at that picture, falling in love with her and wondering what she was thinking about that made her look so thoughtful and sad. Well.... she was actually thinking about him and how much she loved him and how sad she was that they only got to spend one night together. NOW you can cry. A further irony is that in the novelisations of The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgement Day we find out that Reese spent years growing up in the molten, shattered remains of civilisation, hearing the name John Connor like it was some sort of legendary hero and desperate to meet him. Eventually, in his mid teens he gets to join the Resistance, but is just an inexperienced, private soldier, whereas John is the great, untouchable, god-like hero who commands the whole army and is effectively the king or president of all of mankind now. One day, out of the blue, John Connor selects a twenty-three or so year-old Reese to serve in his personal Tech Com unit. Reese is star-struck and watches with admiration and devotion from afar as John's army wins the war in 2029. After that, they quickly find out that Skynet's (the mainframe supercomputer who commands that Machines) last act was sending a Terminator back through time in an attempt to kill John before he was born and they need to send someone else back to stop it and protect Sarah. Reese, who has exchanged maybe a few dozen words with Connor in all these years (John didn't even say anything when he gave Reese the photo of Sarah), throws his name into the hat fully in the expectation that someone way closer to John with much more experience and technical and/or historical knowledge will be chosen, but Connor picks Reese without hesitation, much to his surprise. Reese is still only a sergeant remember, and John is a four star general. It's like the President of the USA handpicking a teenage intern in the White House for a special mission. John briefs Reese personally on his mission, including all the personal information and expresses complete confidence that Reese will get the job done and complete his mission. All the time he's doing this, Reese is wondering why John Connor appears to be on the verge of tears and thinks his commander might be holding something back from him, or not be as confident as he truly appears. The tech team succeed in calibrating the time-travel equipment for Reese to use and send him back, at which point Connor reveals he'd known Reese was the man for this job for years, and also known he would always succeed. He then says that Reese is also his father and his personal team nearly drop dead with shock. Basically, John had been in agony ever since he'd become aware of Kyle, knowing he was his father and keeping him close enough to train and give him experience, but not as close as he wanted, because he was afraid of being unguarded. Terminator Genysis attempts to recreate these events, but it utterly screws them up and makes a film which should be burned if ever encountered that also succeeds in sucking all the dignity and gravitas out of the first film, which is a film noir masterpiece. For some reason in Terminator Salvation Skynet knows who Reese is and what he looks like when he's about fifteen and makes him a priority target, which is utterly impossible, because only John and one other person whom he tells EVER knows this secret. As I say, if you HAVE to watch other films after T2, stop at the fourth one, Terminator Salvation. 3 and 4 are mediocre, to say the least, but beyond those they actually start harming the franchise irreparably.

I LOVED your reaction to this one, so smart, you really felt this one, and understood it,your input and how you so quickly put it all together at the end was impressive. You are awesome Katt, with the most expressive face I have ever seen, and the world's greatest smile. Must watch part 2, arguably the greatest sequel and sci/fi-action movie ever.

I saw this film with friends on a home movie night (on VHS tape) when it first came out and our reactions were a strong then as I can see yours are now. I really enjoyed seeing youso engaged and engrossed to the plot, the action, and the effects/make-up. Really good job with this video and in showing how genuinely you appreciate film.

When I was a kid in the 90’s, I had a T2 action figure of a motorcycle cop that had rocket launchers burst out of his back. As far as I recall, that didn’t once happen in the film. That comment brought me back about 30 years

Reese's entrance falling out the sky was done for real. A stuntman laid on a board set up between two ladders and slid himself off it to create that fall. As far as I recall they didn't have a crash mat available either so he just dropped onto his shoulder on pavement. Michael Biehn said it was the most violent thing he's seen in his career. His stunt double also plays one of the cops during the police station fight, I guess they had to double up as many stunt performers in the movie also have small roles. Also another amusing fact, you'll notice that Reese and the Terminator are never in the same shot until it's just bare bones in the factory. This was because Arnold had commitments to the second Conan movie so they filmed as much as they could without him. The only time the full "human" Terminator is in the same shot as Reese is during the Technoir shootout where he's being shot by Reese and that's a stuntman lol. Michael Biehn gets asked all the time about working with Arnold and they never actually were on the set at the same time.

"The Roger Corman everybody's-a-worker" kind of successful low budget movie making. Not like the pampered, "we'll fix it in post-production" gang of idiots. Like the "wretched hive of Scum and Villainy" that is today's Walt Disney Company.

40:04 Stan Winston describes how they made this last shot. They were completely out of money. That shot is literally composed of one Christmas light, Two pieces of foam core, a piece of aluminum foil folded into the shape of the Terminator's face, and someone with cigarettes off camera literally blowing the smoke into frame. They attached the bulb to a little dial to turn it down, and that was it. The final image of the monster int he movie is foam core, aluminum foil, cigarette smoke and a Christmas light. That is why I love the first one so much. Everyone had almost no money to work with, and they made such an impressive, intense, atmospheric, artistic movie.

Arnies frenzy at the precinct is still epic.

The Terminator is basically an '80s slasher, instead of Jason there's a robot. It scared the crap out of me as a kid, so that alone makes it horror in my book!

A lot of people think this is Arnold's break-out role that made him a big movie-star, but I was about 12 or 13 when I saw Conan the Barbarian on cable back before Terminator, that's how I got introduced to Arnold and to me that's his break-out role. I still love Terminator 1, best of the franchise.

I'm British and saw the Terminator on release but Arnold was comparatively unknown here. Thanks to this movie by the time he did Commando next year he was a huge star.

Oh yeah the whole time travel aspect involving Kyle Reese is VERY interesting and slightly confusing but Kyle seems it up pretty well with saying he's from a "One Possible Future". You can look as these events as a loop as well that just happens over and over again. But Kyle bringing up one possible future implies that we could stop Judgement Day from happening but I guess the we'll have to continue with the series. *Loop:* Skynet is defeated in 2029, Sending a T-800 back to 1984 to stop John Connor being born. Kyle Reese from 2029 travels back to 1984 to defend Sarah Connor. Kyle gets Sarah pregnant and Kyle dies. Sarah Defeats the T-800 and uses her knowledge of the future to train a future John Connor. John Connor is then born in 1985 a year later. Skynet becomes aware on August 29, 1997. Judgement Day begins. Kyle Reese is born around 2004 and later joins the resistance after meeting John Connor. Humanity fights against the machines for over two and a half decades. Skynet is defeated in 2029, Sending a T-800 back to 1984 to stop John Connor being born. Who knows how many times this loop has happened.

The episode of Disco where Harry Mudd uses a time-crystal to create a time loop in order to steal the Discovery is a good example. Based on a line near the end, there are almost 60 "loops" before the cycle is broken. Whereas this cycle theoretically would only be "broken" if Judgement Day is actually stopped.....

@donwhiteley3293

My theory is that the Terminator and T2 storyline that we're familiar with is, at minimum (and mostly likely), the 3rd time through the loop. The first time through, Kyle couldn't be John Connor's father as he hadn't been sent back yet. The original John Connor isn't the one we now know. He was the son of Sarah and some guy she met normally and fell in love with. Because Cyberdyne didn't have the advantage of the remains from the T-800 the first time through the timeline, Judgement Day is 10-20 years after the 1997 date that we know, allowing John to grow up normally. He was most likely career military and a natural leader. This allows him to become the person to rally the resistance after Judgement Day. Sarah wouldn't have been a legend in this timeline because she wouldn't have known Judgement Day was coming nor would she have had any reason to train John for what was to come. Since the events happened later in this timeline, Reese would have been older and a trusted Lt. to John when he was sent back. The first time Reese and the Terminator are sent back (2nd time through the timeline) an older, wiser Reese is able to fend off the Terminator longer and maybe even defeat it (although he would still end up dying either in the attempt or early in John's life). This Reese wasn't in love with Sarah when he was sent back as the first John would have had no reason to plant that seed, nor would Sarah have been a legend yet. He would have needed to know her longer to fall in love with her. This is the timeline when Sarah becomes a legend. This timeline is when Sarah starts training and preparing John for what is to come from the time he's old enough to understand. However, Cyberdyne now has the advantage of the T-800's remains to reverse engineer, speeding up the process of creating Skynet. Judgement Day coming on August 29, 1997 takes Sarah by surprise and she mostly likely either dies that day or shortly after, but John survives. The 12 year old John Connor needs time to grow up before he can become the leader of the resistance, but he eventually does and leads the resistance to the brink of victory. Along the way, he encounters a young soldier by the name of Kyle Reese. He befriends Reese, takes him under his wing, and tells him about his mother, planting the seeds of love for Sarah in Reese's mind. He even gives Reese a photo of a young Sarah. This time, when the time comes to send back someone to protect his mother he doesn't send back a seasoned leader. He knows he has to send Reese, a young Sgt who may not be quite ready for the task, because otherwise he won't be born. The third time through the timeline is the story we know. Reese is young and, while very competent, not as experienced as other soldiers would have been. Reese has trouble staying ahead of the Terminator this time and ends up dying just a couple of days after being sent back. However, because he was already in love with her it's still long enough to conceive John. Reese tells Sarah about Judgement Day being August 29, 1997 and she acts accordingly in this timeline. Knowing Judgement Day was going to happen when John was only 12 probably drives her a bit insane in this timeline and she ends up pushing John away by her sheer intensity trying to cram as much training as possible in him before 1997, which we see in T2. However, she and John (with help from the reprogrammed T-800) are able to change the timeline and seemingly stop Judgement Day (although T3 would later show they just delayed it). Anyway, just my thoughts on the time loops.

And in a deleted scene two factory workers find microcomputer chassis from the Terminator remains which they'll send to research and development later that day. After the ambulance with Sarah drives off it reveals the factory was cyberdyne systems. So the Terminators chip becomes the basis for Skynet so that's a loop as well.

@@donwhiteley3293 pretty ballsy of Kyle to impregnate Sarah since he wasn't the original father. They could have had a daughter, or some version of John that had some sort of disability since birth, making it impossible for him to be leader of the resistance.

That was probably the most fun I had watching anyone react to a movie. One of my all time favorite films. I will give you an even bigger theory. Reese is not the father, but Sarah thinks he is. In order for there to be an original John, to send back the original Kyle, someone else had to be the father. I think Sarah was already pregnant from the boyfriend that stood her up. Maybe just days or a week before the events of the film. If Reese is the father, than then the nature and genetic makeup of the child can change from iteration to iteration, but if the boyfriend was the father, then the child will always be born the exact same person. Anyway, doesn't matter. It's a great movie that is, as you said, very well scripted and paced with an epic score.

When ever I see someone watch Terminator for the first time I find it adorable and this is no exception. 😁👍

When Reese described the Terminator. Ironically, I can actually use the same description for Walmart managers I worked for. They don't manage. They walk around looking for a scapegoat employee and target them for termination (of employment). 😨 😅

"You don't cradle and pet friends like that" Well why not, dang it? Normalize cradling and petting your friends!

During the scene when the terminator tells the truck driver to, “GET OUT!” if you do a “freeze frame” you can see the other options. They weren’t nearly as threatening though. “GET DOWN AND BOOGIE” was one, the other was “DO YOU HAVE ANY SPARE CHANGE.” Didn’t seem particularly scary or threatening either. I think they made the right choice! Great reaction Kat! Next up The Car 1977! Awesome!

Kate: “I wonder what other options he has other than ‘Get out’ ?” Maybe, “I call shotgun.” Or “Come along with me, on a magic carpet ride.”

At this point I feel like you saying you hate horror movies is your version of "Inconceivable!". I just found you though and after binging 5 or 6 in a row I can say I'm here for it.

One of my favourite parts in this movie allways was the love scene. Never has there been such a short, intense, desperate clinging to a moment of warmth and wholesomeness while the world crumbles apart around the lovers (well, in fact there is another in "The Last Mohican" from Michael Mann, but it cannot be compared...). The piano music contributes a to that feeling. This one love scene says it all. Why that man went back in time, willing to sacrifice everything for a woman he's never met. True love.

In my own head cannon Sarah was still alive and active during the future war and Kyle possibly caught a glimpse of her as an impressionable youth.
