Those are one the things the sequels never bother bringing
Amazing! Thank you for this. I much prefer the original mono soundtrack.
Thank you very much for listening to your audience and their wishes. It's very kind of you! 😁
Thanks for posting the clip with the original sound effects!
@@leegsy we all do.
The scariest part about this is that the cops weren't even part of his mission. They were just in his way.
@Chris J.P. Black wait he only Shot him because he told him he cannot load the gun in his store. If he had not said anything the terminator Probably would have just left. But I could be wrong
@Chris J.P. Black i know. But if you are the owner of the store and a guy like this comes in would you really say something? Arnie looks scary as hell. And you can sense that he is not normal
@Chris J.P. Black well i am a girl and i would not say anything 😂 and he scares the hell out of me
@Chris J.P. Black I don't recall the Terminator actually paying the gun shop owner.
Give ya that. 👍
The cop that gets knocked out by Reese is the luckiest cop there.
Don’t forget the cop that the T-800 was merciful enough to just knock out and take his car. And the bouncer from the Tech-Noir club who just got his hand crushed.
@@gustavoalmanza2673 not really ...that cop probably died from the started fire... There are 30 police officers here... T2 he killed 30 police officers... and the cop who's car he took probably had his skull cracked from the headknock
Easy Grin Yeah, but the actor who played the cop who got his car stolen was in T2 (the guy with the camera at the galleria) so it can be assumed he survived
Unless the Terminator found him lying there and just stamped his head in for kicks.
@@easygrin1127 There is a reference of this attack in T-2 where its said that T-800 butchered 17 cops on that fateful day
I’ve always liked Reese in this scene. He moves like someone who has been tempered by combat. He moves quickly with a low profile, he checks entrances and blind spots, he utilizes cover. The choreography isn’t flashy but it communicates so much about who Reese is and what he can do in a hostile situation.
REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CUPS
Lol He actually just stayed low, ran away, and looked both ways down the hall for crossing. Pretty basic stuff
You forgot to mention how he merely tried to turn the doorknob only 7 or 8 times before realising the door was actually locked and that he had to break the glass. People not tempered by combat usually proceed to breaking the glass after about 82 unsuccessful attempts at turning the knob.
@@clifffff7630 ok, that is funny.
@@clifffff7630 well in his defense he is probably not used to intact doors.
1:59 I love how Arnold turns his head sharply. Like a robot. He absolutely nailed that role.
Hard to believe Arnold was last in line for the role. Cameron wanted Lance Henrickson to be Terminator and Arnold wanted to be Kyle

I don’t think anyone else could have played the T-800 better than Arnold Schwarzenegger. He Is The Terminator.
OJ Simpson and Lance wouldn't do bad either
The length he’s willing to go just to see his friend Sarah Connor is truly heartwarming.
He could've just waited the cops had Sarah convinced Reece was crazy and she was having a metal break down and just excepting his dolusion reece was getting locked up and Sarah would've had a 72hour stay in a nuthouse all he had to do was wait the cops didn't believe there was a terminator they thought it was all Reece even the crashed cop car when Sarah and Reece get caught they just assumed another cop was chaseing even if they found the dead cop they would've just went with the most logical reason there is no such thing as what Reece was saying surprised he got such good treatment he was shooting at a police car so even when they find the dead cop it would make no sense when the cop died but Reece at that point was a cop killer🤣
😂😂💀 You win the internet!
Yup, he loved her to death....😂😂
He can kill 30 cops but 1 valley girl eludes him.
Plus he said "could I see her Please". Go figure it was programmed with manners.
My parents saw this movie in theaters. They told me that the entire audience was dead silent as this scene unfolded. This scene, more than anything, truly illustrated how utterly unstoppable the Terminator was. Imagine being in a police station, surrounded by dozens of police officers with guns and automatic weapons, and still not being safe. Because nothing will stop the Terminator until you are dead. NOTHING. James Cameron is a genius.
Must've been in a white theater
*was
No Sophia Stewart is the genius behind the Terminators 1,2,3 and The Matrix all of whom she wrote. She had her work stolen from her and 9/25/2014 won a 2.5 billion dollar lawsuit. Between 1976-1980 she wrote the aforementioned.
@@michaeltruthson6262 here we go
that's why I couldn't count Salvation as a real Terminator movie, Christian connor took out a T-800 with an M16 almost too easily they were hott off the presses too lol....
The way he looks at the glass, analyzing how sturdy it is, and even announcing his plan. And he indeed comes back.

Back when a Terminator was built to just kill and not settle down with a family. Simple times
Exactly my thoughts!
But it did kill it's target in that movie.
Didn't watch Woke Fate what happened ( i don't mind spoilers not gonna watch it )
@@rusty7984 better than Genisys anyway.
@@rusty7984 The terminator from the 2nd movie survived the lava pit and inexplicably manages to raise a family or some dumb shit like that.
Arnold Schwarznegger's performance in the Terminator is outstanding I don't think anyone can play the Terminator as good as him
Thats just not true. The best Terminator in terms of being machine like and totally inhumane was Kristanna Loken.
"Talk to the hand"
@@hanshandkante5055a woman is not a terminator. Please
@@jonesmorales-tu6kq Man is also not a Terminator. Terminators are genderless machines. What are you talking about? It's not my problem that you hate women you s t u p i d s o n o f a b l o o d🤮🤮🤮 p i s s i n g w h o r e !
To be fair, he didn't have to play much. There's nothing easier for an actor than to have a poker face and a monotonous voice. But yes, Arnold with his frame and face was perfect fit for a killer machine.
To think, Arnold nearly fired his agent for even getting him this role. He hated the little dialogue he was given, but being the professional he is he just said fuck it and put in his best work. Decades later; it’s his defining role. I’m glad he eventually saw the potential in it.
And the one liners continue to thrive all these years later!
Yeah Arnold in T1 and T2 fit the role perfectly 👍
"I'll be back!" Lol
He was working with James Cameron. Arnold should have known it was going to be worth it with him directing
Spreading misinformation online is so fun. Arnold was always gonna be in Terminator but he wanted the Kyle role.
When you're level 100 and you go back to a level 5 area..
So, in a way, you literally become a machine (digital avatar) from the "future" sent back to complete a mission.
And gain teeny amount of exp
Borderlands 2 tho
The highest experience points level of petty.
@Anatoli Macaroni I'm Level 552 in Fallout 76 and sometimes go to Flatwoods to see the noobs hide.
Imagine how much worse this would've been if he had his phased plasma rifle in 40 watt range 😁
Nick Edwards or if Kyle had it....
Robert Whitcomb Kyle would have killed the Terminator if he had proper weapons
@@anatoldenevers237 The first Sarah Connor that got killed could have killed the T-800 if she had a plasma weapon, but she didn't.
Bwahahaha!!
40 watts isn't much...
I'll never stop appreciating the level of detail Cameron put in to every scene. Notice the Terminator analyzing the structure of the glass and wood at 0:34, seeing how easily it can be crushed? Fucking amazing nuances.
Which basically made no sense. He could have just ripped the door open and walked in.
@@insideoutsideupsidedown2218 Lmfao that's so true. Damn I hate when logic gets in the way.
@@insideoutsideupsidedown2218 OH! He had his guns in the car, and didn't want to arouse suspicion/start a war as his *first* attempt. Once the cop refused to cooperate in letting him see Sarah (he could have agreed for aall we know)...Terminator went back to the car, got his shit, and used car to get his guns + break thru the wall. 2 birds, one stone. If he came in with guns at the outset (no car), he would have immediately started a war, which goes against stealthy infiltration protocol. Terminator is vindicated yet again!
He may be a nightmare to work with at times, but at least at this phase in his career Cameron's perfectionism showed in the final product.

I love the shots of Sarah, standing by in the room by herself as the rampage is ongoing. Imagine the terror in her heart, as she is listening to the gunshots going on and on, knowing that nobody has stopped him yet.

Just imagine the terror of hearing The Terminator go through about 30 cops and the shots are getting closer to you.
I remember watching this at the cinema, everything went dead quiet at this scene. Such a great movie.
Wow man I consider you part of history. What are the reactions to the crowd half to the movie?
I bet they were shocked. It still looks quite nasty today.
@@LITTLE1994 Yeh, back then it was really uncommon to see something like this. The fact that it is just unstoppable carnage really gets the gravity of the situation across perfectly.
I was born in 84 but i remember going to the theater for part 2 with my father. I remember him telling me that people were rooting for arnold (despite being bad) in the first one in the theaters because everyone was fans of him and that was a big reason why he was a good guy in the second one
I wish I was born at that time
Don’t get me wrong, Terminator 2 is awesome, but am I the only one that loves the first one the most? There’s just something about the 80’s style that makes it so great
They are good in different ways. T1 is a thriller and T2 is action. You are far from the only one who like the first one better.
I also like the first better. I love T2 as well, but the first movie for me is tighter: it fast paced, a very efficient film, Arnold is an awesome villain and it did it all first. One thing that I've noticed over the years watching T2 is that it basically uses a lot the major plot points from the first movie: the final chapter in both films is the protagonists being chased by a semi-truck, someone gets wounded and ends in a production plant of some form. They are different films, but where T2 dialled up the action and effects (which looks amazing), I just prefer the more stripped down story.
The first one is more dark and menacing.
@@sayno2lolzisback I think so too, the music, a lot of horror elements in the first film. That scene from the future when the other model T-800 wipes out the resistance camp and you see the red eye glowing in the dark or the chase in the plant. Really creepy stuff.
T2 is great but T1 is just better. I love the dark atmosphere and the dynamic between Sarah and Kyle who is such a badass.
0:12 To say this guy is lucky is an understatement
Dr Silverman was also lucky in terminator 2
Gotta love that the T800 was a sweetheart. A lot of people missed how he walked up to the desk and said "Please" when he requested to see Sarah. A remorseless, uncompromising, merciless cyborg with manners.
Almost as sweet as T2: "Say! That's a nice bike!" 🎭
Some guy is killing everyone named Sarah Connor, and some guy comes in asking for Sarah Connor. "Yeah sure, hang out on that bench while I get back to my paperwork"
FUUUUUUUUUUUCK man, that's what I'm talking about
✋ It to ya on that one, Johnny.
This was before smartphones and tablets
@@umbrellacorporation9168 The cops of all people would be the ones to be on top of a Sarah Connor serial killer. Especially when you just brought in a Sarah Connor and some wackjob dude claiming to be a time traveller.
Just goes to show that sometimes it better to inform the desk clerks on information even if its above their pay grade. But had that guy been aware of what was happening that Terminator was getting in the police station one way or another.
This movie was a classic because of its dark theme, it really made us feel afraid of the Terminator.
indeed
That's why it's still the best in the franchise
Aron T-900 I think you’re forgetting that genisys salvation and t3 are just as bad or worse
Classic horror movie strategy.
@@visionist7 well the first two were great. The third was decent. Great ending. The last three were dreck.
Police: "Don´t worry, you are safe, there are over 20 cops here" Teminator: "Hold my beer"
Hold my Spas 12
"Hold my nuclear power cell"
This is so funny when you imagine Arnold saying it with his Austrian accent
In the first movie, the T-800 is legitimately terrifying as it just ruthlessly kills everyone
Because his chips are built to kill anyone especially his main target Sarah Connor.
A kinda interesting point when comparing T1 with T2 is how effective the T-1000 would've been in this scenario. The T-800 here causes lots of damage, but it ends up being completely pointless, as terrifying as it was he screwed up big time by being so overly noisy, so blunt. The T-1000 here would probably only kill a single person in all the building, taking the shape of only a single officer, but that'd be all what'd be needed. It makes quite a powerful contrast: which one is the worst? To have to face an unstoppable force with almost no hope for victory or to be attacked from the person you'd never expect?
Indeed a good upgrade on skynets part.
Stealth is always superior to brute force tactics.
If the T-1000 was used instead, then maybe the movie would have ended sooner without reaching the police station. Let's say T1 went as usual: the T1000 kills the first 2 Sarahs and kills Ginger who was mistaken for THE Sarah Connor. If the T1000 heard Sarah calling from TechNoir, the T1000 would take Ginger's shape and then go after Sarah. This is assuming the Resistance doesn't program a T-800 to go help Sarah, which is a different story altogether.
@@mobiusraptor7 I think reese could hold off t1000 to save Sahara but killing would be almost impossible for reese to do
Damn dude that’s a good point
That synthesized soundtrack couldn't be more 80s if it tried.
Couldn't be more perfect. The film wouldn't be the same without it. Set the bleak tone and atmosphere for the entire film.
Here is a channel that does some very cool eighties synth covers. Night rider, Terminator, Airwolf, Fletch, Tango and cash, Ect. kzhead.info/sun/iMOak6inb36VmYU/bejne.html
The only thing possibly more 80's than the synthesizer is Sarah's hair style.
@@aarongreenfield9038 cool Chanel thanks!
@@ericoz650. 👍
I haven't seen a police station taken down that hard since Raccoon City.
@1:45 I love that his vision is in slow motion showing how fast he's processing everything
So eerie that the doctor passed by the first Terminator when he was going out the door, and in T2 he spent so much time telling Sarah it wasn’t real lol.
Then in T2 he saw the same T-800 was back then watched the T-1000 pass through a solid barred door then realized she wasn't lying. Then he had a cameo in T3 when they found Sarah Connors coffin at a funeral home.
wobz I think he was still present when they showed her the pictures
@@TheFacelessStoryMaker What T3?
@@johnrileyyale Yeah he was in T3 during the part where they find Sarah Connors coffin filled with guns.
@@TheFacelessStoryMaker I'm sorry. I was just trying to humor you guys. I like to pretend the first two are the only ones.
I love the way this scene ends. Sarah and Reese escape, but the Terminator just immediately starts to follow. You can get away, but he'll never stop hunting.
I love all the pig death. Nothing beats watching cops die even if it is fake. 🙂
You can hide...but you cant run...or something like that
@@tehagent1321 “you can run, but you can’t hide”
well done are you james cameron?
Too bad he choose to steal that weak ass Gremlin for a car instead of one of the fast cruisers.
It’s crazy, we see the Terminators point of view and it looks alien, like we’d be ineffective with it but he’s actually calculating which part of the wall to shoot through to put bullets in vitals of his opponents
4:18 when he’s looking around for Sarah that some good ass acting like a surveillance camera. Arnold and Peter Weller are ahead of their time true acting legends of the 80’s.
There's something about that 80s music, darkness, tension--great era.
this is what BLM should be doing
The synth music really fits perfectly with the tech noir style film
Brad Fiedel was a great 80’s soundtrack producer. He also made the score on Fright Night!
@Scurv nope. instead of marching and crying they should be doing what the terminator is doing
......I just got the 'to live and die in LA' soundtrack a couple weeks ago.
Michael Biehn played Kyle Reese perfectly. He really didn't get enough credit for his role playing the scrappy, determined future-fighter that protected Sarah. His body language was great and he was the no-quit anti-Terminator to Arnold's cybernetic killer.
His performance is unfairly underrated.
Yes so great I like him
Как вы можете снимать такие фильмы, смотреть такие фильмы, где людей можно убивать как тараканов? Просто проходя мимо. Вы ублюдки, выродки, если вам нравятся эти ужасные сценарии. Вы твари, вы сами хуже тараканов. Вас нельзя называть людьми, вы потеряли всё человеческое, в вас нет души. Ваш мир отвратителен. Вы не замечаете мерзости вокруг. Вы фашисты.
Hollywood never gives the same chance to him just like Schwarzenneger and to another famous action movie stars.
If he would have become famous with other hits , then surely people would have appreciated it more often
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to hear the original sound effects
Always preferred the original sound effects
When Arnold said "i'll be back" shit hit the fan for fucking ever, even almost 50 years later we are talking about how legendary that 3 line phrase is
I love how older movies had more like.. ambient and brooding music scores. way more atmospheric and set the mood better
@Chris J.P. Black I like Terminator 2 more but I can respect the joy for the first one more. The first one had more scenes of the future war, it feels like a blend of many genres, romance, horror, sci fi, action. But aside from the basic reasons of more action and a more powerful villain,I liked Terminator 2 more because of its theme, that you can prevent a horrific future from occurring by taking action now. Too bad that theme is completely obliterated in one single line from T3 "judgement day is inevitable"
They used actual music in them days
@@Chico50445 No need to pick one or the other, as long as 1 or 2 is your favorite, and not the abominations after them lol
I remember the local laser tag place would use the brooding classic terminator theme as we played. Made it more scarier in the dark corners hiding.
Superior in everyway
Sarah must have incredible survivor's guilt after this, realizing that all those cops, who were so kind to her, died because she was there.
Not in this case, because she birthed the savior of the human race. Those cops are all martyrs.
pretty she carried that into the events of T2 where you see her in the mental asylum.
Axeman Titan I love how the Terminator seems to casually saying 'hello' to Traxler as he passes his office at 3.17, like 'are we don now?'
Most of em died because they were stupid
@@knives5964 No they were brave. Especially those opening fire early on, and the officer who jumped and launched a shotgun blast near certain death, and the officer who stood up injured to kill him during that last shootout phase. The scary thing is that this scene really wasn't all that unbelievable if a guy armed himself with body armor all over and carried assault weapons into a police station. I always will believe the most significant terror attack NEVER yet launched on the U.S since 9/11 would be three co-ordinated Islamically motivated school shootings all to take take place between 11am and 11.30am in start time in three separate areas and three seaparate high schools. Then call in bomb threats in multiple colleges. BOOM The U>S would be permanently destabilized.
This scene has always stuck with me, it really shows just how unstoppable the Terminator is and his machine like ruthlessness ans efficiency.
4:38 strangely enough this is the most terrifying scene here. the real fear is the fact that the terminator doesn't get tired. It doesn't need to stop or rest. It can just walk after you and even if you run as fast as you can it will still get you even at a walking speed because eventually you will become exhausted.
Arnold Schwarzenegger wasn’t a joke he was serious as the terminator
He is serious as the terminator in every movie. The script only wants him to do stupid stuff, but his acting is always clean
@@shazers7313 He's always serious they made him like that
@@brandoncazares8452 Have you seen him smile in genesys ? The scene with the star glasses in T3 ? That's not what I call serious. He is mostly serious, but this kind of thing completely ruins the illusion of an unstoppable killing machine like in this scene
Well he was kinda funny in the punk rocker clothes and fixing his hair a bit after he repaired his eye, remember that
and I think his vocabulary only has 9 words.
I like how this scene was the moment Sarah knew Kyle was for real, as was the Terminator. Before this, she seemed convinced none of this was true. She seemed to accept that Kyle was insane and the Terminator was just a weirdo wearing body armour. But the attack on the police station seems to have finally woken her up as to what was going on. She finally realizes Kyle is there to protect her.
she WANTED to believe Reese was crazy. who wouldnt?

When the staff of an entire police station can't protect you, the only choice remaining is the right one, no matter how insane or improbable it may seem.
Sarah is like someone from 2020 believing that the vaxzine was meant to protect you, not kill you!
@@kidgruesome407 She also wanted to believe he was a sexy badass who couldn’t be tamed. A little crazy maybe, she thought she could work on him.
The shotgun scene with the glass window fracturing behind him and he returns fire with two shotgun slugs is creative genius.
It really is! That image alone could've been the movie poster!
He was literally there only for 1 person and when that person left he simply walked away as is if nothing happened. Brilliant
T1: a masterpiece thriller movie T2: a masterpiece action movie
A bit like Alien and Aliens.
Tdf: a masterpiece family comedy
T1 was more of a horror/sci-fi movie to be honest
Tm1 is like a horror movie Tm2 is like a super hero movie
perfect
I love how Reese gives Sarah a quick up-and-down look to assess if she's injured when she comes out from under the desk. Michael Biehn didn't miss a trick with that character.
I've watched this movie dozens of times. I just noticed that as I watched, before reading your comment.
Great actor
Don't forget to give some credit to James Cameron, he was directing Michael's performance. Those kind of things are definitely something a director would tell an actor to keep in mind.
never noticed that. thanks!
Hard to see it, but good eye.
I remember when I first watched The Terminator - it was already a terrific film and story up to this point in the movie... but then THIS happened, and it absolutely blew my mind. This is where the movie really takes off and it becomes clear exactly what this terrifying cyborg can do. As Reese & Sarah drive off at the end of I remember being left completely gobsmacked at the visceral storytelling that had just been put to screen. IMO it is the height of the entire francise.
The intense theme starting at 4:05 is brilliant! Soundtrack was brilliant for this movie as well. The 2nd one gets more praise but I somehow like the less sophisticated sound of the synth in this movie maybe even more, or at least it fits the scene just as good as the more epic and layered fits the 2nd film.
What I love about this scene is how the Terminator is exactly that: A Killing Machine. It cares little for cover or positing. Most of it is bulletproof. He does take out enemy forces, just in case they could hit its fuel cells or have time to come up with a different plan, but most of the time it is just walking while getting shot.
If I recall only near point blank 50 BMG would likely penetrate a T-800's armor and ultimately damage the core. The whole pipe bomb/metal press was really just using what they had. Those 5.56x39mm M16s, M4s and various .357 Magnums didn't do anything to it. We are talking 15mm+ of reinforced steel
@@xxdomoxxkunxx What made the Terminator shoot them, then? He lost time with all the turning around and killing people.
@@TheTSense That is actually simple. The Terminator originally asked for Sarah, said it was a friend and originally tried the stealth approach. That failed and instead of risking a chance of failure/losing Sarah again it was going to fight it's way through. Why does it kill everyone? One, it needs to because it knows that more people who know it's an infiltrator the higher its chance of failure(likely hard coded for all Terminators) but when I mention armor, I mean it in a rough estimate. Much like the human body's bones are of different sizes the Terminator's body is likely of different armor strengths. After enough shooting the armor could start to weaken and spall, leading to potential long term damage(thus not worth risking) We already saw the meat start to rot and the facade start to wear off as the damage started to add up Third, now that I realize it is that if the Terminator was obvious it would eventually get to the point of the US army(National guard) involved which actually could cause Skynet to never exist(which would be a critical mission failure) thus its as simple as "No witnesses, Sarah must die"
@@xxdomoxxkunxx what i always found unrealistic is that the t-800 here can still be surprised by humans waiting for an opportunity to attack it. And in fact that it needs to manually search for Sarah, room by room. You would think that a machine built on over 30 years of experience fighting humans would be geared properly to at least detect them in hiding. I can understand that idk thermal sensors might still not have been miniaturized enough to use but supersensitive microphones? It wouldn’t be a stretch to have the terminator be equipped with microphones and audio analysis software so advanced that they could recognize a person based on their ragged breathing from a few hundred feet away. Or a slow cocking of a revolver, the nervous shuffling etc. This way t-800 could’ve easily shot everyone through walls like with that one guy instead of just reacting to humans it sees.
@@apollodiomedes203 That sounds reasonable but, you also got to realize James Cameron came up with this story from a literal fever dream and had such a limited budget that actually filmed at many spots illegally

It really set the tone of the film
Yeah this theme pulses throughout the movie, it really gives the Terminator another layer to his stalker look. Like when you hear this, this unstoppable killer is plotting
That guy that walked out first got so lucky, he avoided a painful death at the hands of the Terminator.
The asshole had the audacity to lock Sarah up in a nut house in the second room because he was in denial! 😠
Not sure it would be painful. The Terminator shot and killed most people instantly. Unless Dr. Silberman was hit and bleeding out, it would probably be a quick death.
I have lots of good friends, I have a few great friends, I may even have a best friend. But I do not have a friend as good as this friend of Sarah Connor's, a friend who would stop at nothing to see her, even in the middle of the night, even when she's been arrested. This is pure inspiration.
Yeah, but Sarah was never arrested. Kyle was.
i don't have any friends, I watch this movie non-stop, and forever eat cherrios with 1% milk

Absolutely terrifying. More than 30 years ago, no CGi bullshit, no lackluster explosions, no crappy dialogue, just the pure chilling concept of a machine that can't be taken down, rampaging through police officers like a walk in the park. No movie today will ever replicate this master piece of a scene.
Yea this scene is so far beyond what the recent terminators have. T1 and T2 were just so different then T3 and so on.
Doesn't work anymore honestly. I'm not really afraid of a movie about an unbeatable killing machine that finds, stalks, and executes people because those have been around IRL for over half my life in the form of drones. And some guy walking into some place and just shooting a bunch of people is a weekly thing now. First person view camera on the terminator shooting was probably more impactful when it came out then today when we have actual shootings caught on first person cam. All the "scary" shit that happens in this video has been done in real life too much for the movie to be novel anymore.
@@tehcommenterofepic Drones are anything but unbeatable. And "some guy" shoots up offices and schools, not cop stations.
@@tehcommenterofepic When was the last time some crazy warped fucker wiped out a police station? 😒 They wouldn't get past the first few officers before being put on the floor, ready for the morgue.
Brother that was the 80s. All practical effects, stunt work. Now all that good shit has been phased out for green screen. Its sad really
" I'm a friend of Sarah Connor" what a great friend.
Hahaha. :)))
with friends like this who the hell needs enemies
I have friends like this
Well, he did break her baby daddy Kyle Reese out of jail.
I say similar whenever i am about to go on a full rampage
this scene was so iconic Arnold had a shotgun that went full automatic
Which isn't possible with the type of shotgun he's using. The SPAS-12 has a semi-auto mode but isn't fully automatic.
You might think that the supervisory officer in charge at the HQ would have warned anyone at the front desk that if ANYONE came asking about Sarah Conner, given what they'd heard from Sarah and Silberman's interview of Reese, sound some kind of alarm. Wouldn't have stopped a Terminator, but perhaps a few more people might have gotten out.
“It can’t be bargained with, can’t be reasoned with, it doesn’t feel pity or remorse or fear...and it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead”
Sounds like an ex wife in divorce court 🤣😂
@Chris J.P. Black The description also applies to the T-1000 in T2 and the TX in T3. The humanization is only there when they have a good guy terminator that was reprogrammed. Just like in the Alien movies, once we know what the monster look like and how to kill it we need to go bigger to make the movie entertaining. That's why they started making crazier models of Terminators.
@Chris J.P. Black I'm surprised that it took until Genesis until we got a T-800 vs T-800 and even that was discarded pretty quickly. Having 2 Arnies would have created scenes with trust and distrust of which one is the good one.
@Chris J.P. Black With each sequels they constantly have to make crazier evil Terminator to raise the stakes. Somewhere in there a T-800 vs T-800 would have allowed to ground things up a bit. Maybe if T2 was T3 and there was a new T2 where Sarah is pregnant it could have worked.
So this is where Tommy Sotomayor gets his ideas!
Such a simple scene compared to the two hundred million dollar schlock of today. So much more impactful than a half hour of CGI overload
True
James Cameron is a genius
@@IllxxllI No. He made Avatar.
The problem with the Terminator movies after 2, is that they go out of their way to make them as OP as possible. But then they still die more easily than the first 2 Terminators did. In Terminator Salvation, they're not even bullet proof. The Terminatrix from 3 can control vehicles, but she never thinks to do that during the vehicle chase. She does it to a bunch of other vehicles but not the one that her targets are driving. I didn't even watch Genesys or Dark Fate because I already knew they were gonna suck and the series is done after 2. I never liked 3, even as a 5 year old kid I walked out of the theater thinking "this movie sucks". The only reason I gave Salvation a chance was because the idea seemed cool, a whole movie on the future war that James Cameron has briefly shown in his movies, starring Christian Bale as John Connor. But nope, it was a generic Drone war action movie that slapped the Terminator name on it with cheap callbacks. Boring forgettable, they don't even show us the same world that James Cameron showed us. The James Cameron future was fucking dark and hopeless, kids are hunting rats for food. The robots were bullet proof and required laser blasters to be destroyed. But Salvation chickened out of that by making it the beginning of the war, where it just seems like a boring desert environment with generic drones, and the classic terminator model, but now they can be destroyed by bullets. The last 2 movies have them getting killed off in minutes. They just don't get it, that more action does not always mean better, their way of handling more action dumbs down the suspense, Terminator 2 was the only good approach at the mentality of "lets make a more action packed Terminator".
@@Chico50445 well said!
One of my absolute favorite cinematic moments and the reason I prefer The Terminator over the sequels.
1:56 Good God that shotgun hit shot...
These films wouldn’t be the same without the soundtrack it has.
To bad the released soundtrack was remade
Music really does make the 🎥movie
Imagine if it actually sit down and wait xd.
Imagine it didn't run from the cops in the first place ^^
@A Frustrated Gamer You forgot the army. Getting their hands on a destroyed T-800 is what created the Skynet in the first place.
A Frustrated Gamer sone pepole just don't get it. Those dead cops saw how powerful that thing is I bet in Terminator 2 when Sarah was locked up in spirit tried to tell That idiot Doctor she is telling the truth you can't stop those things. They tried look we're it landed them..
@@JustinMacri007 They do seem to be damaged by high velocity impact (Car and Truck) or heavy machinery, Reeses improvised explosive in the exposed Exoskeleton did mash it up later, as I'm sure the "Phased Plasma Rifle in the 40 watt range" can too. While small arms can't do the trick missiles launchers and the power of a Tank likely could cause damage by running over it. These are infiltration units for assassination jobs or for getting into Bases and it's followed the same MO. The Cops couldn't stop it but military units likely could. As we see later, they seem to rely on catching the Police/Base personnel off-guard
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I cannot forgive myself for missing this in the theater when it came out. I had just turned 15.
Epic fail !
I say this as a fan of the first two films: In your defence, The Terminator was a relatively low-budget film where it was uncertain if it would break even, let alone become a box office success and leave an indelible mark on pop culture. In the hands of another director and/or production company, the film could have been another cheesy sci-fi horror B-movie that flopped and relied on video sales to recoup some of the losses. Even the distributor feared The Terminator would bomb.
I DID see Conan The Barbarian in the theater 2 years prior!! @@dazzlernator
How I wish Robocop was stationed here to greet the terminator. 😁
I remember a while back seeing the clip of Terminator 2 where Sarah runs into the Terminator again for the first time since the first movie. Some people couldn't understand why she was so afraid of him. Yeah, you guys have never seen the first movie, clearly.
well lot of people did't see the terminator 1 because it was little ban, due to killing cops so yeah it was ban for some reason.
She was like no no noooooooooooo lol I still remember the scene she ran didn't look back but the second the hospital staff tackled her she didn't take her eyes off the t800 not once
Also people forget that Arnie being the good guy was a secret twist in the second movie. People didn't know until the hallway scene which is like half an hour into T2, when Arnie tells John to get down.
@@jackheisenberg1655 wait, really? By that logic, any war movie should be banned because soldiers are mowed down unceremoniously
I always thought wow Sarah was beefin up to be the warrior to defend her son but as soon as she saw the t800 see how quick she slips and you hear that breath haltin gasp....that fear reawoke n she took off!!! That was perfect how linda shows that no matter how strong u make urself the one thing that scares u will always have that grip on u.

Now, that’s a friend.
what I love so much about this scene is that normally, in horror movies, the cavalry (cops) usually show up after the villain has been dealt with but the implication always is had they ben there sooner the protagonist(s) would have been safe at last and this movie turns that idea on its head... No cavalry can keep these two safe, there truly is no respite from the Terminator and this scene drives home how truly unstoppable it is and that Kyle wasn't bullshitting when he told Sarah so earlier!
I love that times when The Terminator movies were horror movies.
Well, it's just one that fits that description
The first Terminator Movie was* 🤷🏻♂️ movie*
This is the only Terminator movie that is horror.
@@alejandroschnettler1794 movieS* ( he/she/it was, *they were )
@@franticsledder of course, The Terminator is a movie, so is "It" ;)
What I love about this scene that took me a while to notice is that when the psychiatrist checks his pager, he turns his attention away from the terminator.If he had seen him walking in, he may have figured out who he/ it was based on the victim report on Sarah and the interview with Reese.
Eh, most people walk pas people like that every day
@@Chuked hahaha!
Not really, he never believed what Sarah was saying about her, the Terminators, Skynet, her kid John Connor future hero of the resistance in a men vs machines wars, time travelling... Who would believe a story like that ?? None of those events ever took place yet, but in the future they would be all too very real... I'm sure the cops wouldn't take it seriously, only listening it as entertainments and laughing it at... Until for example, a massacre in a police station where a one man army would walk in, kill all the cops who were there in less than 15 minutes, it meant around 17 cops getting slaughtered despite being trained and well armed with even having a bunch of M-16 assault rifles loaded with live ammo on a shoot to kill basis if I remember right and wouldn't even be enough, all dead even before any reinforcements could even arrive in time to help...
@@Black-Rat Those are valid points ,but even in the eighties, when two different people give the same story and same description of the alleged attacker ( AH-nold), that information can't be ignored and passed off as the crazy ramblings of a loon, which was what the psychiatrist said when he gave his opinion of Kyle Reese
One would think the smell of its rotting flesh suit would have been a giveaway anyways....
I love how the doctor in the 2nd film walks out of the station just as the terminator arrives in the first film so he didn’t actually see him, he probably would have recognised him in the 2nd film if he had saw him. Real subtle long term storytelling there
That shot of the T-800 firing the SPAS-12 one handed is an iconic shot
Damn, this scene makes me wish James Cameron would just return to making pure action films instead of wasting decades of his life on the avatar sequels.
No chance. Cameron has lost his balls years ago.
@@daroblackheart383 bruh his last movie was in 2009 so idk what you mean by years ago lol
Yeah. Now that the Chinese virus has destroyed our way of life. Those Avatar sequels will tank at the cinema.
I loved the first avatar movie. But I agree. The Terminator needs to return to it's roots. But I think even he may have lost sight of what made his movies good.
As a person that hated, and still dislike Avatar and Titanic, I completely agree.

Actually I had that same Gremlin, except it was a 72 model
I’ll Be back One of the most iconic movie lines
I like the original sound much better. Almost 40 years later and it still gives me goosebumps and I still know the dialogs.
I don't. I prefer the remastered sound. The gun shot sounds have more impact and actually sound realistic. The stock sound effects they used here sound more like sci-fi guns...and those ricochet sound effects...yeah, it's a little cheesy and takes me out of the scene a bit.
I love how a ruthless killing machine can still be polite and say please.
It's a learning infiltration unit.
Can't say he didn't ask nicely and gave you the option of just offering her in place of the whole station.
Cyborg with manners
Compare his entrance here to how he arrived at Tech Noir, earlier he was just straight up walking his way through but here he's taking a more formal approach. It's a small but cunning detail of how the infiltrator is steadily learning of the various methods to get access into places. Further specified in the sequel of course.
Not Bad, Mr.Void....👍
I’ll bet people were on the edge of their seats at this scene. I mean even today it is full suspense
I saw it when it was released. I was drunk but sobered up after ten minutes.
These were proper movies without all the gizmos of cgi shit. Proper acting etc
People were easily shocked by things back then. They ain't now.
He doesn’t feel pity or remorse…and he absolutely will not stop, ever…until you are dead.
The best part of this movie, was the music. Brad Fiedel is awesome.
Even though I loved seeing the Terminator as the good guy in T2, I thought he was very intimidating in the first movie, like he is legitimately terrifying in this scene, the fact that he can’t be damaged from the cops’ gunfire and will murder anyone in his way until he gets to Sarah and completes his mission to kill her which is actually quite scary when I think about it. Imagine if you were followed by a monster who wants to kill you and would stop at nothing until you are dead. The thought alone would be one hell of a nightmare. Arnie did such a great job portraying a merciless killing machine in this movie.
Its intimidating because the tone of the movie is R, its science fiction horror. Whereas you get T2, with a child involved and the Terminator being good, its an action movie.
It's why this one is my favorite of the series. Arnold is actually terrifying in this movie. I saw both movies for the first time when I was 9 or 10 and as cool as the T-1000 was he didn't scare me nearly as much.
Yeah... I played all RE games.. so I know the felling. But in real life, the only unstoppable monster that follows me is the TAX monster. That one we cannot stop.
Well, that's basically the plot of every slasher movie. But somehow it works here better (I usually don't like slasher movies). T2 was even better in that regard, the T-1000 was the perfect movie villain
0:34 I love the way he watches and analyzes the front of the police station before deciding get in there with the car and reply with the classic "I'll be back". Arnold's acting was top notch in the Terminator series, that role was perfect for him. 👌
You really couldn’t give it to anybody else in history

I remember holding off on watching Return of the Jedi just to go watch this movie first when I was a kid and I did not regret it.This scene was and is masterful.
This is the best terminator. The suspense and raw threat of this scene is one example why. One unstoppable robot versus only humans with limited resources. No unnecessary dialogue.
A shame hollywood hates stuff like that.
If it was T2 we would have had John Connor telling him to not kill anyone, Sarah going absolutely nutso and wanting to kill everyone, and the T1000 being that first cop at the desk.
@@dg4545 Says who?? Hollywood will make anything the *audience* wants. If the audience wants to pay billions seeing CGI robots wrecking each other then that is what they will make. If sh*t (and I mean that in a bad sense of the word) sells Hollywood will keep on making it. So who is *really* hating unnecessary dialogue and all other things like suspense? *The audience* But we can't blame them can we? Nope, let's blame Hollywood or the studios or the directors or whatever. How did utter crap like the Twilight movies get made? Because there was a market of some 100 million silly little girls worldwide who wanted to see it. Despite both the regular audience and movie critics tearing those Twilight films to shreds many million girls (and overgrown little girls past 30 but with the mental maturity of a 14 year old) went to see it. Billions were made from the 5 released films. Billions. Crap sells. The audience makes it possible. Hollywood has since long just began focusing on "target audiences".
