I think he asks for the plasma rifle because it exists just not in stores maybe a secret government weapon!

The Difference Between "T-800" and "Model 101": In Terminator lore, the "T-800" refers to the metallic robotic chassis underneath, while the "Model 101" designation specifically refers to the outer human flesh and the physical likeness of the unit.

The guy narrating the video states at the beginning of the video that Arnie doesn't blink whilst firing weapons then around 15:30 we see Arnie blinking as he's firing which immediately makes the terminator more humanlike

I know it's a bit late but I like to think Arnie was asking for the plasma rifle was because Skynet was developing it and it was in the database, obviously just on the down low.

33:17 I've seen 'Solider' as well, and while I have a hard time believing it was unknown to Cameron based on the alley spawning scene alone, I also don't think the complete work is anywhere near similar enough to merit a lawsuit. I've heard people say Ellison had a history of petty litigation, so him going after the movie certainly makes sense.

I don't think "tech-noir" is short for "detective noir". Noir already sort of impies a mystery to be solved. I think he meant "technology-noir".

The thing about the terminators is that in cannon they are learning machines. Your mention at 11:58 is a reference to this, and we see at 12:00 he selects from a limited amount of responses. It shows that as the terminator interacts more and more with humans, the more it learns our patterns like speech and mannerisms.

We see this with his weapons as well. In California at the time, the state had banned the civilian sale of machine guns, but federally, the National Firearms Act hadn't been enacted yet. In script its said that the T-800 actually "purchased" an AR-180, the civilian semi-automatic version of the Automatic AR-18 we see him use in the assault on the police station. But because the terminator is a genius, he modified his weapons like the AR-180 and the Uzi to be automatic.

It really goes to show how much of a learning machine it really is, even when heavily limited by sky-net.

Also, the getting shot as the gunstore employee thing you mention at 15:15, almost EVERY single gun store employee ive met actively open carries to limit these types of situations lolll.....

I just rewatched Terminator last night for the first time in forever. It was a great nostalgia moment. You did a great job on your breakdown. The story is great. Especially how it supposedly ties into The Matrix. Check out Sophia Stewart to really go down the rabbit hole on these franchise and topics.

Great video! Though I hoped you would have mentioned the deleted scene at the end. The factory they end up at is actually Cyberdyne Systems, and they rush the micro-processor off to R&D first thing Monday morning. Had it on the Director's Cut when DVD's were still big thing.

Titanic and avatar were overrated! I suggest James Cameron eats a lot before he goes to bed in hopes he has more inspirational nightmare dreams to make more kick ass movies like the terminator!

James Cameron, if you're reading this, Make it happen! You're a goddamn genius! 😅

14:48 Yeah that was stupid. If plasma rifle was created by Skynet in the future, the terminator send back should have information what year it is so it's not possible for plasma rifles to be available.
But yeah it was just made for people watching it, to make them think, a plasma rifle? what? wait? is he from the future?

But overall it doesn't have any sense that he is asking for it.

первая часть конечно самая лучшая, идеальный фильм, но есть там одна сцена, как раз перед вот этим эпизодом 10:23
терминатор обохдит фургон и левой рукой отталкивается от капота машины, так делают люди, когда спешат
робот так делать не станет (это как в детройте, когда робот проходит мимо решетчатого забора и ведет пальцами вдоль решеток, просто потому что так делают люди, но роботу это делать не нужно)
к тому же, машина под весом опирающегося на нее терминатора должна была просесть или качнутся, но она не двигалась. эта вся сцена у меня выызвает вопрсосы

I’m a millennial I remember the rotary phone ! lol I think you mean Gen Z . We had those phones when I was a kid and could redial . Other than that I love the terminator series ! Even though the timelines with each movie are all over the place . I think Arnold can play it forever and even his sons if they want to go that far .

— @Momomeeks89

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.

9 minutes in and the second ad break already... No, thanks!

— @AnoNym-r7g

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.

T-800 is the robot. Model 101 is the human-looking appearance above it.

I think the terminator ran off after the car chase scene because of damage to eye socket and mobility issue with his arm. We later see that he surgically removes that eye and uses a scalpel to cut his skin and then proceed to fix his hand getting his motor functioning to work... Again its a calculating machine and probably anticipated that it was not optimal to fight in those conditions

How crazy is it that the films origin is from Cameron having a dream, it would be amazing to know what triggered that dream, like what had he seen or watched to inspire and trigger his sub conscious to create that image.

@FineYungCannibal007
@

9:42 I agree. I always viewed the first Terminator movie as a Sci-Fi Horror/Slasher film and the second movie as a sci-fi action film.

Cameron is a very good artist! Those sketches he drew are amazing. Any fan would pay an immense amount of money to have them framed on their wall!

Brian Thompson was very terminatorish in x files

Side note. In T2. We get warned about AI. Skynet is AI. Now we are Using AI Way Too Much. After a fictional Movie warned us Not to

I reckon James Cameron killed john Conner off in dark fate too piss us fans off also

@kryten6569
@

The T101 is the arni skin that's why in T3 arni says "That was a different T101" and john says do you come of an assembly line or something? And arni says "Exactly"

At 13:44 you mention the Terminator looking for John in the phone book.

At that moment in the film he wasn't even born yet! Or even conceived!!
