Terminator 1 non-cgi effects

[jookymcd]

Okay this vs CGI Arnold in T4?

[SickGrin25]

my friend made me laugh hard the other day...we were talking about make up effects of 80s movies and how thy are more creepy looking and he randomly said "Someone , somewhere has got a room full of arnolds heads!" LMAO

[CatchBlog]

When i was little this scene always freaked me OUT!

[thenewgeneration123]

Lol btw the hand is a dude in front of him

[AlternateTimelineGuy]

when i watched this as a kid i swear i always thought the person in this scene was Michael Myers, it looks so much like him

[FuckWorkdays]

I don't get why they had to do that part as an effect when at the end of the movie the real actor is seen driving with one robot eye

[Kritickos]

so will that eye grow back?

[badpanda84]

@Kritickos This explains why terminators alway wear sunglasses

[027Erik]

Movies now should just work with a budget of a million dollars so they can really make a great movie.

[360SnipeProductions]

i can tell

[Swagger565]

@XRaCeProX With all the respect, man, but why did you write "Look at the fake Arnold Schwarzenegger" in the video description? Not trying to offend you or piss you off, but this a 1990 movie, brother. Don't criticize it. Terminator is such an awesome saga, and the first 2 are the best. If you wanna make fun of the Terminator, upload a video showing how the 3rd one sucks comparing to the other 2. Because the saga ends with the 2nd one anyway (in my opinion). Peace, bro.

[Addyson1991]

I for the most part prefer practical effects, but anyone who says this is great or better than CG is lying to themselves. The eye itself looks good, but the rest of Arnie's head is blatantly fake. It doesn't even look like Arnold. Even as a kid I noticed it looked weird.

[pajo50]

@Addyson1991

Dude 30Years ago this was pretty cool..even today if you look at this movie in BluRay you would be blast away....They didn t have Tech,real tech showed in T2.....

[thenewgeneration123]

@Addyson1991 CG?

[arschsau2050]

@Addyson1991 You cannot compare modern CGI to puppet effects from the 80s. Today those effects look way better and it is no wonder, that those movies, who still use puppets in addition to CGI look the most realistic. You always have to remember when those movies were made. Lawnmower Man for its time was good, today it's laughable in computer effects. The problem with CGI is, mostly it looks cheap, even when it costs millions of dollars, because of glossing or structure.

[joeyrolph]

ya this makes him seem more like a authentic thing out to get you , i thought the terminator would of put a bandage around its head but that would probably screw his targeting uphe just cut to much out he should have plucked the eye and kept it closed in human interactions then when combat insued open it

[F4stFow4rd25]

Imagine if they did that now with the kind of "skin" they can make these days, id looks sooo real

[Doomzdayxx]

This is just so much creepier than CGI would be able to do. every time we come up with something new, something else is lost.

[azlagor]

I remember watching this as a kid and craping my pants how frightening the scene was to me

And I sure didnt think that was fake.But again i was a kid back then.

but i would agree todays movies are just filled with too much computer effects.

[Cadbil]

CGI is better no doubt but hey this fil did a very good job with the makeup especially for a film made in the 1980's.Mu only complaint is that his skin is very waxy looking.

[KINGIBYM]

This is no doubt awesome but CGI should be used properly unlike in Avatar etc.

[ender2999]

@KINGIBYM How is it not used properly in Avatar? That's like the best CGI around. Awesome

[TrentSki80]

@ender2999

I still think Avatar looked fake. But I usually care about it being a good movie more than special effects. Probably why I didn't like Avatar because without the special effects the movie would have flopped

[KINGIBYM]

@ender2999 2 hours of complete pointless CGI. Typical crappy storyline sugar-coated with CGI.

[AliG4life]

@KINGIBYM Yeah, the CGI itself is good, but way over-used. They should've spent some more money on a decent script.

[knight508]

Something about the old school effects is 10x creepier than CGI. Still awesome.

[awaak]

Not hating just stating but you guys say this is more real than CGI? I dont think so, the entire character was a puppet as he pulled out his eye to reveal his cyborg underlayer. If this was CGI they would have used the REAL Arnie and just made his eye CG.

just saying! CGI is tones better than puppetry!

[MASSEFFECTfan101]

You don't need CGI to make a great effect. This is a perfect example. I miss the classic effects. Why are people so picky with special effects today?

[videogamepimp22]

@MASSEFFECTfan101 just like there pickie with the graphics in video games

[FokBibi]

don't have to say it is not cg, we can see it.

[ORTmusic]

Hey Everybody! I have just released my new album 'Unhinged' which is greatly inspired by Brad Fiedel's soundtrack work in the Terminator series. You can stream or download the full album for free on my youtube channel!

[NottinghamForest22]

lol make sure the hair looks good.

[garyminion]

I always found this scene gruesome as a kid

[escorpios3]

i like the old way of special effects;rather than cgi.

[TheAlmenar]

good job

[Rambo4President]

This movie is almost 30 years old!! Of course it was insane back then in the 80s. Do you know how much work it takes to make a puppet or mask look like a man's head and face? CGI makes most of the work much easier, but it doesn't even look half as good as classic FX. Just imagine the lower arm-repair created with CGI... lol

[culeangelo]

I also want to have the same eye

[Fapsamup]

I have to agree, this looks awful and awfuly dated, but I rather look at this than at CGI.

[TheMck411]

this shit had to be be insane back in the 80's but still my favorite terminator movie of all time

[GravityProductionz]

for its time, this shit is fcking incredible lol, they really did a good job

[5mykolatherussian]

terminator:kk prom is in 5 mins i gotta look good for t-x! is my eye good? yeah sexy sexy eye oh yeah im badass! oh my hair looks like shit...fuck it im gone!"

[PandaApproved]

i find it funny that he checks his hair at the end of the scene

[kingv911]

Uncanny valley!!!!

[undertow1985]

so much better than cgi

[CheatManiac64]

Looks like michael Jackson when he's a robot in moonwalker

[Pahvilaatikko15]

That mask scared the shit out of me the first time.

[Gheorghepatriotul]

cgi sucks ass, THIS IS ART !

[yTubeBlowsBigBalls]

Fuck CGI! It's so overused!

[JorgeIvanovich]

Arnold make the job easy,try to make the same effect with another guy,.

Arnold looks like a robot from birth.

[chemicalJK]

this is the scariest terminator movie...

[firstcomesfist]

This blackhead is following me everywhere!

[TheChester2149]

PC+REAL NICE !

[Albinomonkey512]

this terminator is scary as fuck!

[BitchinVR6]

how does it come from terminator to worst blackhead ever?

[weldonwin]

Its an unfortuate fact that physical effects are for the most part a lost art, as CGI effects became more cost effective.

If I may play devils advocate for a moment, it may not be a popular sentiment, but physical effects are limited by what you can build and no matter how clever and innovative an effects team you have, there are just something thing they cannot do despite their best efforts, while CGI when done correctly is limited only by imagination.

[brmoogma]

this looks better tha cgi...but cgi became cheaper for the producers over the years.

Todays movies have less "soul"...

[phunkyboee]

25 years later they made cgi arnold for Salvation and this still looks better. When will they learn.

[blazeburning]

LOL no difference AT ALL

[cookie5455]

id love to see a terminator missing both its fake eyes. how creepy would that look?!

[disengagejam]

its amazing that these effects in 1984 are better than 90% of the shit CGI that is in movies now ...

[kclite]

LOL IT WOULD BE BADASS WITHOUT THE GLASSES MAKES IT CREEPY

[andreww1212]

I'd rather see this than some shitty cartoon looking CGI.

[JeffreyRWu]

looked legit with the glasses on the wax face

[Gaffer213]

man that looks fake

[davesanti]

@Gaffer213 I'll take it over cgi

[louis250994]

Sharingan Arnold

[JonathanTheAlchemist]

14 people lost their left eye.

[GoThIcWoNdErGIRL]

This whole scene was so scary to watch as a youngin'

[WebVManReturns]

Looks like Arnold...

*Puts on sunglasses*

Lost sight of his target.

YEEEEEEEAAAAAHHH

[subarusumeragikun]

haha, terminator checked his hair, that's awesome

[vequense]

plastic face Arnold wins :D

[adrygarcia]

A MI ME PARECE GENIAL, Y SUPER CURRADO, POR ORDENADOR TODO ES MUY FÁCIL PERO SUELE CANTAR QUE ES POR ORDENADOR Y LO MÁS IMPORTANTE ES QUE LA PRIMERA VEZ QUE VES LA PELI NADIE SE DA CUENTA DE QUE ES UN ANIMATRONIC, ASÍ QUE ESTÁ BASTANTE LOGRADO. KÑO!!, QUE ESTÉS VIENDO UN MUÑECO Y TE PIENSES QUE ES ARNOLD LA PRIMERA VEZ TIENE HUEVOS!!!, LO QUE AYUDA A ESO ES LOS CORTES DE CAMARA MOSTRANDO A ARNOLD DE LADO Y LUEGO DE FRENTE EL ANIMATRONIC, CREO QUE ESO ES LO QUE TE ENGAÑA MÁS LA PRIMERA VEZ.

[whopoder]

Good times... no cgi

[kcran5671]

i like this better than cgi, always better to do something in the real world when possible. It looks like a fake robot, looks great. cgi is over used.

[taibunsuu]

@kcran5671 I agree. The thing with CGI is that the lighting is never as good as film. Another example is when for example the T-800 chassis is constructed and it gets a laser scan, it's all filmed and it looks absolutely amazing.

[nights312312]

@kcran5671 you have no idea how much CGI you are looking at that you had no idea was CGI. i agree with you that bad CGI could be replaced with models etc though..

[JerryFromNewJersey]

@kcran5671 actually making it this way without CGI makes it more realistic being that hes a robot and what they used is a robot so the whole movement is pretty much as real as it gets. still my fave part of the entire movie.

[Thejjone]

@kcran5671 totally agree

[tristanbacon]

hahaha! That's terrible!

[juan321654]

looks liek him from the side and wit the glasses.

[Justinian43]

take that CGI classic movies are better and more real!

[brainysnaeha]

@Justinian43

Because it built on something that is actually real not virtually built!

Looked on many james bond movies all of the blowing set pieces they actually blow the whole set

of miniatures!

So it modeled and based on the real thing exist in real world so it will always looked more real than

CG can do.

[SciFiWebcam]

@Justinian43 CGI movies are real... Real fake lol. No, seriously, I totally agree with you. I enjoy watching non-CGI effects, no matter how fake they look. It reminds me of amateur movies I used to make with my camera phone when I was 12.

[Justinian43]

@SciFiWebcam i like non-cgi because of the work that took on making the props, puppets, suits and what not. CGI sadly is all computers, nothing more, nothing less, and since it's computer generated, it's not real. The shading, lightining, etc. won't be exact, the actor won't have a set or character to work with in order to enhance the action. Blue Screens=nope! (my point of view)

[SciFiWebcam]

@Justinian43 True words, my friends. You truly won't feel like you accomplished something if you work on 70 percent of the movie on a computer. I'm not talking about all those YouTubers who probably don't have access to a webcam or anything like that: They can't do anything about it anyway. I'm talking about those who do. I used to, but it was mostly for intros and stuff like that: nothing big. It'd be nice to see an old-school movie with these kind of effects again.

[Justinian43]

@SciFiWebcam i really want to make an old school movie with sets and all that cool stuff, the 1982 film called "The thing" inspires me a lot, that is like old school cinematography at its finest!

[SciFiWebcam]

@Justinian43 I love that movie. You must be talking about that scene where the "thing" infects the dog. It's actually my favorite scene.

[Justinian43]

@SciFiWebcam yes that one, it's just so well done and creepy, i will never get that image of the dying dog getting killed by the thing. The new thing is like star wars prequels, with computer they threw more mutations that they overdid it (like how lucas used cgi to throw as many lightsabers as possible in the prequels, unlike the classic ones where the lightsaber was only used when the jedi or vader meant business)

[TheGanimides]

ANTIGUO EFECTO..............NO BUENO.

[davidkowalski11]

The shot that spawned an epic sequel!

[lcyw20]

You can tell that this was shot with a puppet head, but special effects before widespread use of computers was at its height back then. It is really very hard to make the puppet more convincing than that, probably also due to budget restraints, and it is a very good piece of work.

[spyko247]

Can some one please tell me how is this fake

[NeoCortex3]

@spyko247 When you see his face with the cyborg-eye 0:10 thats a puppet. An amazing one.

[pe6obutilkata]

Stan Winston is a genious.

[MasterJediKyleKatarn]

It's a puppet or maybe a simple animatronic head. It clearly does not like like him at all.

[theguywhokillyou]

@MrMatrix1212 yeh i was being sarcastic

[theguywhokillyou]

realistic as fuck

[ohedd]

Those glasses are incredibly awesome.

[SeanOScare]

My feeling is this could've worked more effectively if the scene were cut better. For instance, filming the animatronic Arnold face on was a bad idea. If they cut to a side shot of Arnie just before the puppet looks up the whole scene would've maintained the illusion and same for the part where he's putting on his shades. It could've been made a lot shorter. I nevertheless have no complaint about the technology, this is as real as it gets to me.

[mrkiky]

@SeanOScare but that model probably took a shit load of effort to make and was very expensive so that's why they wanted to show it more lol

[malucoman]

Vaya que el tipo es todo un galan, un terminator que se preocupa por su apariencia y su peinado, je je je je

[DENZEL816]

When I was 3 years old, I sotrel this movie with my brother. Also thought that the eye really put out. But now we see that the person Arnie at this time - just a mannequin.

[monkeyfishninja]

I am.... a machine!

[MrClasius]

Press 4 every second.

[eexot]

Terminator's thoughts: "Even though I'm only here to kill people, I still gotta look good in case they sent some female terminators here too."

...."and not crappy blonde pony-tailed ones, hot brunettes ones, and red heads.....with feathered hair...fuck yeah it's the 80's I LOVE feathered hair....and killing! Ok, now lets do this!"

Just my guess anyway.

[Harley58384]

he look real

[Harley58384]

look at 0:08 and pause

[Harley58384]

look at 0:08

[Harley58384]

look at 0:09

[SpecialFXLady]

Hot shit.

[PREZILLA2009]

Doesnt that look remind you of Michael Myers at 0:13?

[InsipidAction]

The best part is when Arnold fixes his hair after all that.

[Spitfirefilmz]

to be honest, these effects are way more thrilling to watch than most of the junk that comes out in the theater these days...

[Anssui]

this scene is really creepy

[ushdr]

personally, I would prefer "OK" special effects without CGI than "Great" effects with CGI. There's just this certain essence of good ole fashion movie-making shit that you just don't see anymore. Almost everything now is CGI. I miss special effects like these...RIP

[mmarti944]

Damn. It looks not bad even today. But T2 effects are really impressive (maked on Amiga ;)).

[sebyst]

@mmarti944

It was made on SGI Workstations and Irix SO, not Amiga :-)

[mmarti944]

@sebyst Oh... maybe you're right. I've heard that it was Amiga. But it can be my mistake... It doesn't matter - they're really, really impressive : ).

BTW: sorry for my not good English.

[ChalkyGBG]

Fake Arnold is AWESOME :O

[pe6obutilkata]

Stan Winston = genious

[EDSKaR]

This is actually better than the majority of CGI made 25 years later, CGI sucks.

[19may0001]

even a blind person can tell there isnt any cgi here

[RDdaNINJA]

I wish they still did practical effects.

[busterboy6011]

that freaked me out but it's amazing how they do it but the robot sort of gives it away

[blazko87]

I used to watch this when i was a child. Damn.. it was really scary. Now im 24 lol

[Ienstien965]

lol, fucking fake!!!

[Jackeeify]

@Ienstien965 You are retarded? This is a movie called Terminatior.. ofcourse it's fake.

[ChicanoTattooArt]

yea true it doesnt match up with the real life looking human but acually it looks more real like that all robot style. I remember when I first saw this scene as a kid, it scared me though, just the way it looks, like a scary looking freaky fake plastic unusual looking face lol

[ChicanoTattooArt]

acually when you look at it like this, since he is really a robot, it acually looks like a damn robot! nice.

[LarisaFrolova]

0:28 some fake mask

0:30 hell yeah Arnold

[AlexFruen]

It would have been brillant if the terminator looked like this for the entire movie. Much more robotic.

[HarpoTheVillain]

It really doesn't look real. However, it absolutely certainly -DOES- look scary and something out of a really bad dream. Coupled with the dark synth percussions, it's a freaky scene for sure.

[ravenstone4]

he looks like plastic

[DeadEndScreamer]

Looks better than shitty CGI in today's movies.

[TheDM75]

@DeadEndScreamer Don't be stupid, yes this looks scary and it's freaking genius, but it doesn't look better than 2011 CGI -.-'

[DeadEndScreamer]

@TheDM75 I have seen a lot of CGI in movies that looks a million times worse than this effect, CGI just looks out of place.

[TheDM75]

@DeadEndScreamer lol are you talking about student films? Most hollywood movies don't use trash cgi.

[DeadEndScreamer]

@TheDM75 Pretty much any movie that isn't high budget, although their CGI looks like PS1 cutscenes, but even in holywood movies CGI is noticable especially when it's used to show a person, they tend to have plastic looking skin, like the CGI Rock in The Mummy 2, that's hollywood CGI and it looks awful. But even good CGI looks fake and it's really easy to spot, they used a lot of physical props in T2 that you wouldn't immediately see as fake when watching the movie.

[TheDM75]

@DeadEndScreamer Of course you can tell if its CGI alot of times but looks at Transformers for example, it looks amazing. The Mummy 2 is too old.

[DeadEndScreamer]

@TheDM75 Yes it does look good in Transformers even though that movie sucks, but I've yet to see CGI of a real person that does not look out of place.

[TheDM75]

@DeadEndScreamer The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, absolutely brilliant work from the CGI Artists. Well it's just the head but it's amazing.

[DeadEndScreamer]

@TheDM75 That's a good one, if CGI was done right it can be an excellent asset to a movie, unfortunately at least %90 of CGI doesn't look anywhere as good and is usually overused throughout most sci-fi movies, I enjoyed practical effects because they looked real especially the blood and gore effects, I can't stand CGI blood.

[TheDM75]

@DeadEndScreamer I agree with that one, CG blood is just useless and stupid.

[DatBanga]

micheal myers!

[TheGallantGentry]

You'll shoot your eye out, kid.

[controllerbrain]

Still as freaky as the first time I saw it.

[CountOrsino]

Wow, that's some puppet; it even has his acting ability.

[BobbyD167]

this might look cheesy but i prefer it the cartoon that avatar was.

[IKIindOfMagic]

the only part that should have included the dummy was the close up of the eye, that was a badly done scene.

[kibakim]

even better than  T3

[Legoman346]

@HeroBragma LMFAO

[thefunnystuffplease]

when i was like 4 i remember sneaking downstairs and watching this through a crack in the door while my dad was watching it. at this point i shit myself as at that age i thought it was real. covered my mouth with gasps of terror dad hearing me and telling me to get the hell to bed.

[XRaCeProX]

@thefunnystuffplease hahahah

[EatMahShite]

@thefunnystuffplease I was 5 when I first saw and I loved it! (can't remember if I were scared or not) My mom thought I can't grow up without seeing these classic movies :).

[thefunnystuffplease]

@EatMahShite thats why i watch them now with my daughter who is almost 4. she loves predator and terminator 2 and back to the future (and is also a hard core futurama fan) its great to watch things with your kid and bond over it. the scary things, the funny things the cool things. shes not a panzy and doesnt have bad dreams and certainly isnt emotionally scarred. shes happy. its so cool watching this stuff with your kids knowing they enjoy it as much as you! :D

[B0MBALI9]

@thefunnystuffplease same thing happened to me only my parents let me watch this when I was 4...

[Japopeye]

@thefunnystuffplease ROFL i remember being scared of chucky and never of this movie.

[thefunnystuffplease]

@Japopeye depends what scares you when you are 4. i was freaked out because he chopped his eye out. i was 4 and didnt know he was a machine underneath XD felt like the telly was shouting SURPRISE!

[Rockboy58]

@thefunnystuffplease Hahahaha nice one :D I bet your dad was mad at you the next morning because you were too young.

[corero66]

@thefunnystuffplease cool storry bro :D

[MegaBorisTheBLade]

ok for the eternel ED-209 of Craig and Tippet in Robocop, cge would never made so good, but this is really getting old...

[theguy782]

yea to me CGI looks fake no matter where its used. all those intricately designed transformers in the theatres today honestly dont look "real" to me. nah it just looks like someone accidently pushed the record button while playing xbox. THIS! Now THIS looks damn good!

[Ub3rSk1llz]

@theguy782 other way around. it's just a mask. only because they had a low budget.

[johnjnukemsheridan]

The trouble with CGI is it can not be allowed to be constrained by time the same as practical effects. It takes longer to get things to look "right" to the human eye. When the tower collapses in Return Of The King...that was one guy who took the equipment he'd need home, working 18 and 19 hour days or longer, every day over his Christmas break. And it shows imo...it looks great. Other things like the Warg battle in TTT..not so much lol! You can tell not as long was taken to do it.

[sebyst]

@johnjnukemsheridan

only words in the air

[johnjnukemsheridan]

@sebyst Que?

[xZ0MbiEKILLERx]

@johnjnukemsheridan WHat does that actually mean? :L

[PalerLaze]

Heheheheh, propane. :D

[katga2]

Well.. At the end he does care about his hair 0:32

[10GreenDay01]

@katga2 The ladies maybe? maybe some other terminator chick :P

[katga2]

@10GreenDay01 Probably yes, a travesti xD

[FortyOzSwilla]

@10GreenDay01 how can you just rip off the top rated comment so blatantly like that, lol..
