How did Matt last through being thrown around for so long?


Until Terminator's strength was too much and being thrown through a door.

I don’t know, but he definitely doesn’t get enough credit. He actually got a good tackle in on the Terminator...and drove him backward off balance a couple feet!

Sorry but who the hell is Matt ??

The guy who was going to "bust up" the T-800 with a lamp

Dude if you don't know who Matt is just don't comment about it just go searching on Imdb...Fu€kιn' noobs

its a plot hole

reply

Imagine putting Matt in a boxing or wrestling ring with the Terminator.

reply

Or in a bedroom!

Matt appearing to tackle the T-800 might've been a plot hole, but then again, so would the T-800 getting blown backwards from a shotgun. The only real explanation is that we don't know how much the cyborgs are supposed to weigh.

Getting blown away by a shotgun is movie magic anyway.

Matt definitely got a good tackle in on that thing. He went down swinging.

It's not clear if Matt was a swinger, despite him using the same "rip the buttons off"-speech with multiple women.
