NEWEST UPDATE:

The Terminator

• Director James Cameron got the idea for Terminator after having a vivid, intense nightmare in which he saw an episode of The Outer Limits with the same storyline
• Michael Biehn is obsessed with time travel, and actually tried to create a time travelling machine seen in the film. He was found, naked and disoriented, 17 miles from his home in a pool of Jacob's cream crackers. This was worked into the storyline.
• The film was the first to be shot entirely in reverse.
• For most of the filming, Arnold Schwarzenegger believed he was making a comedy and wanted to wear a curly ginger wig. James Cameron put him off the idea by shouting at him very loudly.
• This was not Michael Biehn's last film.
• Ha ha ha! Look at their haircuts!
• Throughout the film, a major theme is the dangers of technology. Watch out for a deleted scene where Kyle Reese gets his hand stuck in a toaster and trips over a George Foreman grill.
• This is Morrissey's favourite film of all time
• The Terminator cannot be stopped, cannot be bargained with, and absolutely will not stop until you are dead. But did you know that his favourite colour is pink?
• Ha ha ha! Look at the size of her Walkman!
• An earlier version of the script eliminates Arnold Schwarzenegger's character and is an interesting look at mental illness and stalkers.
