The Terminator (1984)

Plot hole: When Kyle Reese first enters the picture, the police immediately start chasing him (which ultimately works to the Terminator's advantage, as he is able to use the radio chatter to track his target). But why are the police after Kyle in the first place? All he did was steal a homeless guy's pants. There's no way that would generate that big of a response from the LAPD.

Suggested correction: Hardly a plot hole to have him be chased by the police. But they saw a half-naked guy in an alley at night; that's suspicious. He stole a man's pants and ran. Then he assaulted a police officer and took his gun. It escalated pretty quickly.

The Terminator (1984)

Other mistake: At the gun store, the Terminator asks for "The .45 long slide, with laser sighting." He then acquires the gun and indeed uses the laser sighting more than once. The Terminator should have no need for the laser sighting, since it basically has built-in laser sighting.

Inigo Montoya: You know it's very strange. I've been in the revenge business for so long, now that it's over, I don't know what to do with the rest of my life.
Westley: Have you ever considered piracy? You'd make a wonderful Dread Pirate Roberts.
Inigo Montoya: [Shrugs].

Inigo Montoya: Hello! My name is Inigo Montoya! You killed my father! Prepare to die!
Count Rugen: Stop saying that!

Vukovoch: Ed!
Lt. Traxler: What do you got?
Vukovich: Dead girl.
Lt. Traxler: [Looks at picture] I can see that.
Vukovich: Sarah Ann Connor, secretary, 35, shot six times at less than ten feet. Large caliber weapon.
Lt. Traxler: [holds up glasses] You know, these work.

Count Rugen: Are you coming down into the pit?
Prince Humperdinck: Tyrone, you know how much I love watching you work. But I've got my country's 500th anniversary to plan, a wedding to arrange, a wife to murder, and Gilder to frame for it. I'm swamped!

The Terminator (1984)

Question: In various online posts, I often see the Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger) referred to as a T-800. However, I never heard that model used in either of the first two films, unless I missed something. I do remember in part two the terminator refers to himself as a Cyberdyne Systems model 101. So where did the T-800 name come from?

Kyle G.

Answer: In a Terminator 2 deleted scene the term is on the HUD of the terminator. The terminator itself is a series 800, an upgrade to the 600 series mentioned by Kyle Reese in Terminator 1, which only had rubber skin. The Arnold Schwarzenegger type of skin is the Model 101. In flashforwards in Terminator 1 you see a T-800 Model 102 infiltrate a rebel base, which looks different. Several types of terminator can wear the same skin Model. So there can also be a T-850 Model 101 (as seen in Terminator 3).

John Connor: Can you learn stuff you haven't been programmed with? So you can be, you know, more human? And not such a dork all the time?

Heat (1995)

Vincent Hanna: I'm very angry, Ralph. You know, you can ball my wife, if she wants you to. You can lounge around here on her sofa, in her ex-husband's dead-tech, post-modernistic bullshit house, if you want to. But you do not get to watch my FUCKING TELEVISION SET!

Justine Hanna: I made dinner for us. Four hours ago. Every time I try to maintain a constant mood between us, you withdraw.
Vincent Hanna: I've got three dead bodies on a sidewalk off Venice Boulevard, Justine. I'm sorry if the goddamn chicken got overcooked.

Martha: George, what's wrong?
George: A whole company of armed degenerates, that's what's wrong! And they led them straight to us!

George: Fuck the china!

Westley: Give us the gate key.
Yellin: I have no gate key.
Inigo Montoya: Fezzik, tear his arms off.
Yellin: Oh, you mean this gate key.

Fezzik: How long do we have to wait? Before we find out if the miracle works?
Inigo Montoya: Your guess is as good as mine.
Westley: I'll beat you at your part! I'll take you both together!
Fezzik: I guess not very long.
