How many people did The Terminator kill in the first movie? There's the first Sarah, and the second (implied), there's Sarah's roommate and her awesome boyfriend. There's the gun store owner. There's 10-15 LA Cops Who am I missing?

The lady standing between Sarah and the Terminator when he shoots his Uzi. Sarah's mom offscreen. A truck driver he punches in the heart, believed dead. Maybe the co-driver who he makes jump from a moving semi (debatable) Kyle Reese.

redshirt posted:Yeah how many did he kill in Tech Noir? At least three I can see on screen: a guy in front of Reese near the bar that eats the Terminator's burst full-on, then two ladies that are running out the door with Sarah that take the shots when he tries to mow her down. Sarah has to crawl out from under one of their bodies. I am pretty sure the cop that arrives at the scene has his ribs crushed into paste by the car door and skull bashed in when Terminator commandeers his squad car.

Looking at a list on IMDB: 1? Punk (This must only count the guy who gets his torso punched in. Paxton is merely thrown back and roughed up, memes about him having the EGOT of 80s sci fi deaths notwithstanding) 1 Gun Store Owner 2 Phonebook Sarahs. 2 Matt and Ginger (Pugsley is spared) 3 Tech Noir Patrons 17 Cops (this count is given in T2, onscreen deaths may be a bit shy of this) 1 Sarah's Mother 1? Truck Driver (may have only been incapacitated) Amusingly the list I'm working from explains that he should NOT be credited with Kyle Reese since the mortal injuries that kill him are from Reese's own bomb.

It's easy to forget now, but back in the day, The Terminator was very much a movie cut from the same cloth as Friday the 13th and Halloween. Relentless murder monster mows through everyone until "The Last Girl", like all horror movies. It was T2, and its huge smash summer time box office, that changed the discussion on the series.

yeah absolutely. it had a lot more going on under the hood but at its heart it was just a higher-concept, higher-budget video nasty and you gotta love it for that. the harryhausen chrome skeleton stop motion has so much loving sinister 80's slasher charm

Imagine if they had gone a similar route and instead of action movies it was just one Terminator every time and normal humans trying to stop it; trying to bury it in a cave-in, flatten it with a steamroller, rip it apart with magnets, etc.

They send a Terminator all the way back to try and reason with God to get him to not make man in the first place. It's 90 minutes of a t-800 sitting in the lotus position asking "why" over and again in response to God's answers.

Watched T2 again the other night and noticed that the T1000 has grown a third arm in the helicopter chase scene in order to reload his gun and fly the chopper at the same time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQH7wnwBxYw @ 1:57

After you see it, you can't help but notice that he's got an extra hand in the following shots. Like the profile shot of the T1000 where he's firing the gun outside of the windshield, you notice he has two right hands.

The T-1000 actually has four arms in that shot, the fourth one is largely obscured by the door and window frame: Which makes sense since you need both hands to control a helicopter. efb but I included a visual aid so there

Presumably the T-1000 obeys the laws of thermodynamics and cannot create additional mass, only reconfigure itself. Maybe it's using some of the liquid metal that's usually reserved for its legs for the additional pair of arms for the helicopter scene. Conversely, maybe it could have temporarily sacrificed its arms for another set of legs while it chased John Connor instead of sticking to the bipedal humanoid form. I have no idea how you would visualize this without it looking ridiculous.

Sarah Connor hides out in the woods. She encounters a black bear. Relieved that it's not a strange man, she lets her guard down. Bear morphs into T-1000 & cuts her head off.

It would be fun to take a visit to the parallel reality where The Terminator got a bunch of lower rent lower concept sequels sooner, and instead of a sci-fi blockbuster it's a slasher franchise and he's more like Freddy or Jason. The personage of Arnie as a rising superstar probably helped shape the direction of things both in terms of script and scope. In that universe maybe they give Henrickson the role. Man I'd love to see his screen test/audition apparently it was amazing.

I'm currently watching Sarah Connor Chronicles and that show is actually really good. The plot point of time traveling to 2007 is kinda dumb because everything they're doing in 2007 they can do in 1999 but it's whatever. SCC has a lot of the "grit" I feel like the later Terminators miss from T1 & 2. The Terminators are all loving threats, normal weaponry is just going to slow it down a little, in most cases, the only reason they even get away is due to Cameron being the plot device. Watching SCC renewed my interest in the series, I know enough about Genisys and Dark Fate but never actually saw them. My wife's uncle who's obsessed over T1 & T2 was impressed with my own knowledge outdoing his own on the series and he's got a literal shrine to the series in his home including uniforms worn by the Resistance Fighters in the future. I've heard that James Cameron is trying to reboot the series as a whole and I wonder what would be done different? I personally, would rather they not focus on the threats coming from time travel as it's something that becomes the main macguffin in the whole series. Originally, the whole time travel element was out of desperation, Reese is sent back after the first Arnold, while John/whoever reprograms another Arnold unit to send to a different time frame after the prototype T-1000, really, that should be it, we shouldn't get more variations of them because the Future War is just going on in perpetuity with constant time travel agents going into different time frames as Judgement Day is moved backwards and forwards.

All Terminator media, but especially Genisys and TSCC touch upon there being several different timelines and the T1 -> Future War -> T1 -> Future War loop having happened several times. Cameron doesn't really need to reboot it, he can just jump to another timeline that could or could not acknowledge what we have seen before, and possibly even tie up some loose ends.

Just please god make a Terminator film whose basic premise isn't "John Connor has died" or "John Connor dies at the end" or "John Connor dies and is replaced by a robot" or anything of the sort.
