I get that the T-800 is from the future so perhaps making his weaponry sound a bit more advanced was a creative choice to reinforce that idea, but he’s using contemporary weapons, it’s weird. Actually I’d say that a fair few of the modern gunshot effects sound extremely out of place, especially for a film made in 1984. There are some improvements in the sound editing in small places, but I consider it inferior overall, it doesn’t have the punch or the grit of the mono mix.

Practical effects on the other hand can look very imperfect and hence perceived as more 'real', but this means it could potentially flop completely and look horrendous too.

@@NeaonBHB Well, Skynet would have a database of sorts on how people acted around that time, and programmed it accordingly. And they do point out in 2 that Terminators are capable of learning (although the function is disabled normally), and we see some evidence of this later on when he tells the one guy to fuck off, repeating word for word the response he got when he demanded the clothes from the punks at the beginning. The one gripe I have, is a universe one: While the T-800 doesn't stick out too badly in the 80s, it stands out like a sore thumb in the future. The average person would be massively emaciated from a lack of decent food, probably suffering from the effects of the radioactive fallout to some degree, and would just be weak as hell looking in general. However, these things look like they're perfectly healthy and built by comparison. You'd think they'd be easy to spot by that metric.

Fun fact: Lance Henriksen, the actor who plays Detective Hal Vukovich in this clip, was originally supposed to play the part of the Terminator. James Cameron's concept for the character was basically that an Infiltrator unit would look like an everyman, wholly unremarkable, able to blend into a crowd effortlessly. There was even some early concept art that showed half Henriksen's face with the other half being that of the iconic T-800 endoskeleton. However, when Schwarzenegger was brought in to audition for the part of Kyle Reese, the human resistance member and protagonist, Arnold took one look at the script and immediately insisted that he play the part of the Terminator instead. James Cameron was initially hesitant, since a massive Austrian bodybuilder isn't exactly inconspicuous, not to mention that he was counting on Schwarzenegger's star power and draw as the "good guy" from his success with Conan the Barbarian. Still, he let Arnold read for the role, and of course he absolutely nailed it. They retooled the movie, and Henriksen was relegated to a much smaller supporting role as a police detective investigating the Sarah Connor murders. Lore-wise, they explained the T-800's size as the latest revision in a long line of attempts by Skynet to create the perfect Infiltrator unit. For a time, it was producing the T-600 line, which were massive (twice the size of Arnold) and had rubber skin. These were easily spotted, even from a distance. However, starting with the 800 series, Skynet was able to miniaturize the chassis of the endoskeleton enough so that it could conceivably pass for a human (albeit a very big one), and even figured out how to give it living tissue. Arnold's T-800 was the first series to successfully pass as an Infiltrator and to be able to survive Time Displacement. As for Henriksen, James Cameron always felt a twinge of guilt over reducing his role in the original Terminator film, so he ended up casting the actor to play Bishop, the benevolent android in the movie "Aliens" (1986). The part became iconic in its own right.

One of the finest moments in cinema. Expertly filmed and sets a tone for the film.

Arnold’s portrayal in T1 is the most menacing villain of all time. Robert Patrick nailed the calculated, robotic killer type terminator, but Arnold puts fear into the viewer like no other.

The problem for me between the T-1000 and T-800 is that we never see through his eyes. So some of that menace and inhuman nature gets lost. The chase at the end heading to the car is way more intense than all the chases that followed it in the series. The only one that comes a bit close is when John escapes on the bike.

I feel like the character and actor are so underrated. For me, Reese is the heart of the films. Without his self-sacrifice, there would be no resistance movement because John Connor would not exist (although he doesn't even know just how much he gave to the movement). His emotional and sexual chemistry with Linda Hamilton is so palpable and yet wisely underplayed. They aren't slobbering on each other every time things quiet down, they are stretched thin and trying to survive. It's what makes their love scene so believable; it's urgent, desperate, and so intense that no more scenes of them in that way need to be shown (although I would not have minded lol). Watching this film as an adult, it really does transcend the genre of sci-fi thriller and has moved into simply classic film making for me.

It may be lower budget, but damn if they didn't use it to maximum effect. I actually like this club scene, with the neon lights, it almost gives off a cyberpunk atmosphere.

Epic scene, the best minutes of the movie, not even T2 has such a rich section, the fade between the disco music and the ost, Arnold's body movements and tempo, the way Resee pulls the shotgun, how it shoots, the facial expression , I especially love the shot at @2:53 when the T800 finds the target, the head movement looks so lethal, James Cameron at his best, awesome cinematics.

He is very scary.

This is by far the best terminator movie and one if the greatest action movies ever filmed. Little details, t800 enters the club and the music changes, the atmosphere, the general dark scenes in the movie...

I've seen this masterpiece dozens of times by now, yet I didn't notice until recently the sheer amount of detail that went into these scenes. The very first time that Kyle shoots the T-800, he shot it in the shoulder, JUST as the T-800 squeezed the trigger and fired off a round. The physical impact of the shotgun blast to its shoulder was powerful enough to stop even the T-800 from killing Sarah right then and there. Kyle saved Sarah at the very last second. Not only that, but if you watch it frame-by-frame, we can clearly see the glimpse - the extremely quick / blink-and-you'll-miss-it - electrical discharge from the T-800's shoulder as it got shot there (even in the original theatrical release - in all of the releases). I didn't notice the blue electricity coming out of the shoulder until recently. Kudos to everyone who worked on this film. That is some very telling and important detail work.

While creators of newer films even failed to include basic characteristics of characters from original movies. Even the terminator itself. In T1 and T2 it is strongly established that T-800 is very vulnerable to shocks caused by high caliber shells or when its hit in his head strong enough. This his primary weakness that allowed Kyle to keep him away from Sarah till very end of the movie. In T2 he loses every fist fight precisely because at some point he's hit hard enough to be stunned and unable to do anything for quite a while. He went uncionscious in the supermarket. In the first steel works fight he was so confused he didn't realise T-1000 put his hand into cogs untill it was far too late. Later on he takes a beating by metal bar and this makes him so confused he's unable to react for over a minute. That's why he ended being crushed and bent by metal rail. Compare that to newer movies, where he takes totally unreal hits that should have shredded him to pieces, and but they have no effect on him. Another important characteristic was that overheating would shut him down as shown in T1. In TS not only this was ignored, also the director apparently was a primary school dropout, as he didn't hear of materials thermal expansion.

I know Arnold's part was beyond iconic in this movie and helped define his career but to me Michael Bien was the better actor in this movie. His portrayal of a gritty futuristic soldier was perfect and his scenes with Linda Hamilton were intimate and powerful with some damn good dialog. How the hell they both didn't win oscars for their performances is beyond me. This movie is timeless

Indeed! I love the poses and movements in this scene and especially that lowered stance pose...I might have emulated it decades ago, hehe. I'd guess he had a good sense of choreography from his bodybuilding background...no idea how much of it came from elsewhere. Anyways, unforgettable stuff.

I love this whole scene. Close quarter combat between two people is exciting as hell.

Man from watching this video, I can tell the '80s must have been a really good decade.

One of the most kickass shotgun scenes ever.

I love the pure rhythm of those final shotgun blasts - poetry. Very satisfying.

I love how they gave the audience bits a piece of the terminator. Like you knew he wasn’t quite human but as the movie went on you started to see more of the machine side. Perfect example they didn’t show his infrared vision until the ally scene, the with the eye and arm surgery we got a little bit more of what he really is and so on and so on.....fucking great story telling you don’t see shit like that in movies anymore.

They knew when to have self restraint in order to give the movie an engaging protagonist, movies nowadays usually tend to blow there load too early, so nice observation

Perfect attention to detail. You see his hair and eyebrows burned when he goes through the fire. Then the shot to his forearm, the eye after the shootout between the cars and the crash, and you see the glowing red eye behind the windshield when he's chasing them with the truck, awesome stuff. And then during the movie you see his skin slowly decaying and rotting away, becoming pale with dark lips and looking like a zombie, absolutely terrifying.

I love how the first set of shots Kyle puts into the terminator dont have a sound but after the terminator gets up, the next set of shots Kyle puts into it have the "plinking" sound of metal being shot.

That slow mo of the terminator walking is so good it’s all the 3 stories from the first 30 min coming into a car crash

Imagine if Reese shotgunned a dude that was just going to hit on her

Not only that, but you can very faintly hear the notes of the "metallic drone" under the soundtrack, like the T-800 is this Jaws-like figure passing through the crowd.

3:25 didnt notice this until it was pointed out to me. But you can hear the shotgun shells strike the terminator's skeleton at this part. A fantastic feature that goes unnoticed.
