Android Apocalypse posted:Back in college for a comics writing class, I wrote a pitch idea for a Terminator story where Skynet learns that Kyle Reese is the father and starts sending Terminators back in time to end that bloodline. I'd add another twist in that "Reese's ancestor" is killed and the camp in such shambles that a camp victim takes his uniform and assumes his identity to lead other survivors to freedom across the Swiss frontier, surrenders to American allies, or something.

Xenomrph posted:That and when you really get into it, Skynet just isn’t that smart. It had a massive first-strike advantage and then spent the rest of the war developing increasingly impractical ways to hunt down individual humans instead of making, like, nerve gas and just gassing the entire planet. Say what you can about the Machines in The Matrix, but they at least had the intelligence to use biowarfare to break human resistance after they got them on the ropes. If they can make a biological agent, they can probably cure it, too, so if you want to get cured, just accept the implants and hop into the tube, coppertop.

Quote-Unquote posted:Dick Miller was great in everything, even when he's only in one scene (like Terminator and Chopping Mall) He played the everyman character of Walter Paisley in Roger Corman's Bucket Of Blood and nine other films, probably more if his character didn't officially had a name. He might not be credited as such, but the pawn shop clerk in Terminator is Walter Paisley (especially given that Miller-as-Paisley sells silver bullets from his Hollywood occult store in The Howling a couple years before)

redshirt posted:How many people did The Terminator kill in the first movie? Bill Paxton, Brian Thompson, and maybe the other punk who donates his jacket to the Terminator. 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.

Big Bizness posted: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. 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.
