Directed by: James Cameron
Starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Robert Patrick, Xander Berkeley, Edward Furlong, Linda Hamilton
Two terminators, the T-800 & the T-1000, are sent from an apocolyptic future back to Los Angeles, 1991. The T-800 is reprogrammed as a protector to John Connor, the future savior of mankind, who is currently living with foster parents. Sarah, his mother, is locked up in the Pescadero Mental Hospital. The T-800, John, and Sarah flee from the seemingly unstoppable T-1000. They are joined by Miles Dyson, a computer programmer/technician who is inadvertently responsible for the rise of the machines. Together the four break into Cyberdine Systems in an attempt to destroy the technology and stop the war from occuring.
Revealing mistake: In the scene where the Terminator and the T-1000 are fighting in the corridors of The Galleria, the Terminator has fired multiple shots at the T-1000. When he gets up off the floor, the Terminator throws him into the left wall and the impact hole is already visible before he hits. (00:31:45)
The Terminator: I need your clothes, boots and your motorcycle.
Cigar Biker: You forgot to say please.
Trivia: The minigun that the Terminator (Arnie) uses in the Cyberdyne scene was so heavy that Arnold Schwarzenegger was the only person on set strong enough to lift it.
Suggested correction: In one of the special features on the Blu-ray version, director James Cameron can be seen holding and shooting the minigun, while saying: "Arnold's gonna love this."
Question: One of the taglines for this film is "It's nothing personal". I have no idea what that has to do with the film and was hoping someone could explain it.
Chosen answer: Two possibilities. 1: The Terminator is emotionless, so the killing isn't personal, but rather what it's programmed to do. 2: Sarah Connor's plan to kill Miles Dyson to stop Skynet's creation.
It's also a sly nod to another famous tagline, Jaws: The Revenge. "This time it's personal."
