Was there a part of the film you found funny?


I found it sort of humorous when the terminator was hit, run over and dragged by a semi truck. I wouldn't mind if that happen to a few others I don't like lol.

That lame generic punk song that Sarah's roommate was listening to/singing ..

"It's a mistake...it's a mistake...yah yah yah yah...it's a mistake"

I guess they were on so tight a budget the studio didn't want to pay royalties to get a real song.

I always wondered who that was...it kind of sounds like Arnold.

I think I like “it’s a mistake” better...

I thought that was Ginger in the video for a minute!
Do you know what the music in the "tech noir" place was?

great , thanks!

When I went to that youtube page there was an especially 80's looking thumbnail on the right,so i clicked on it
It was titled: "True Survivor (From "Kung Fury")"
Turns out thats a fairly recent 80s parody with Hasslhoff in , when i searched for it here , i only found the sequel - which has Arnie in it !

full circle!

“Don’t make me bust you up man!”....poor guy, an admirable display of bravery but just didn’t know who he was dealing with....went from getting his rocks off to death within mintutes

I think it's just because it's Arnold and was later used in Commando but when the Terminator grabs the bullet in the gun store and puts it into his gun. Then the gun store owner says, "You can't do that." and the Terminator says, "Wrong!"

Also Dr. Silberman was kind of funny. Though what's really funny is that Kyle Reese doesn't even think about how crazy it sounds to Sarah or Dr. Silberman that he is from the future and about this Terminator who is basically a robot with human skin on it. Yeah. I can't believe Cameron misused the term Cyborg. A cyborg is a person that has some of their organs intact but has to have robotic parts put int hem that basically make them able to live. Like Robocop is a cyborg. The Terminator, and it's proved at the end of the movie, is a robot with human skin/flesh put on to fool people into thinking it's human when in fact it's a metal robot with human flesh put on it. It doesn't need that human flesh to function as we see at the end of this movie. Sorry. Just felt like ranting about that a bit.

I always get a kick out of how quickly and unnaturally the confrontation between Arnold and punk gangster (?) Bill Paxton goes.

“Laundry day?”
“Give me your clothes”
“Fuck you, asshole!!!” *pulls out knives*

reply

when he says “I think this guy’s a couple cans short of a six pack” with the tire mark tattoo on his face and goofy, idiot grin, makes me chuckle every time.

reply

Dr. Silberman: Why didn't you bring any futuristic weapons, like a ray gun or something?
Kyle: Nothing non living can go thru. You go thru naked.
DS: Why??
Kyle: I DIDN'T BUILD THE FUCKIN THING!!!!!!!!!!!!

There was a scene in the grungy hotel that the terminator was staying at when Arnie walks past this black guy and the guy goes "god dayyummm" in a high pitched voice, cracks me up.

At the gun store Terminator asked for a phased rifle with a 40 watt range and the guy at the counter goes, look pal, what you see is what you get.

reply

Lol, I'm pretty sure he's not black.
