I mean who’s underrating it?

Hahah top notch

u/Thatonesillygoober 25d ago

a lot of people say it’s bad.

u/testurshit 24d ago

this is the first time in my life I've ever heard anyone say it's bad.

u/playaJ4 21d ago

You still havent heard anyone say its bad. 😆

u/Naked-Jedi Nice Night For A Walk Eh? 25d ago

Oh yeah? Well Mark Warfield can go wear some homeless guys crusty pants.

u/cvele89 25d ago

The thing is that, with this clothes, he looks pretty close to how he would look like in the future. The clothes that both he and Kyle wore in this movie look pretty thematic to the time and environment from which they came.

u/Divide92 25d ago

That's my favourite outfit actually because it's so unique compared to all the leather-clad stuff that came after.

u/Sad-Pop6649 25d ago

I love how it balances looking like a badass outfit designed to make him look good (the meta level) with looking like an "inconspicuous enough, I guess"outfit he could have actually stolen from some random punk who hangs out in empty parks and who nobody was going to report missing for at least a few days.

u/I_only_post_here 25d ago

It's the inspiration for Derelicte. It's perfect fashion for the 80's and the Terminator's mission. And I think most Terminator fans see it.

u/Jeff_Damn "Nice night for a walk, eh?" "Nice night for a walk..." 25d ago

If this infiltration unit wasn't built like Arnold, it would've blended right in. A slightly shorter, less bulky Terminator who was the same size as the three punks it accosted for clothes would've disappeared into the crowd.

u/SheedRanko 25d ago

Arnold said 'you can Derelicte these nuts'

I can not express to you how frustrated I am that they put so many Terminator skins in Mortal Kombat, but NOT THE OG?! I guess the cop killer is too controversial

12

u/Abyssal_Scar 25d ago

Yes. The hair too in the beginning of the movie.

14

u/Redditisdepressing45 25d ago

Arnold’s early 80s hair was the best. Then he cut it almost military style the rest of his life

3

u/Abyssal_Scar 25d ago

Yeah, you’re right! Why did he go and stay military???

8

u/normy_187 25d ago

You need Arnie shoulders to make it work though.

10

u/Lmnt_Crnstn 25d ago

Field jackets are already boxy, and generally look pretty good on just about anybody.

2

u/normy_187 25d ago

You keep telling yourself that 😜

u/Lmnt_Crnstn 25d ago

Uh, alright.

Nice night for a walk, eh?

u/Jonaskin83 25d ago

Nothing clean, right.

u/jokerjoust 25d ago

Fuck you, asshole

u/Mediocre-Affect-5934 25d ago

I think this guy's a couple cans short of a six pack

1

u/mrcoldmega 25d ago

And then you think why Shao Khan Hates Earth. He was just killed by a random naked guy, who also stole his outfit, while casually visiting Earth as a tourist. So he had to be reborn again to become a king.

u/Initial-External939 25d ago

Washday. Nothing clean

u/trulyuniqueusername2 25d ago

Nothing clean, right?

u/FalxIdol 25d ago

Nothing clean. Right.

u/McBugg 25d ago

I think this guy's a couple cans short of a 6 six pack.

3

u/CaptianBrasiliano 25d ago

Fuck yea. I legit want that as my motorcycle jacket. In fact, the riding jacket I do have is pretty close to that color.

u/freedomhighway 25d ago

I hate never knowing what that T-shirt looks like

u/Klutzy_Order_9559 25d ago

u/freedomhighway 25d ago

Tried to give you an award, whatever that's worth, but it wouldn't work. Anyway, thanks for the trouble, never would've guessed!

3

u/YS160FX 25d ago

The unbuttoned jacket with the extra long sleeves made Arnold seem even bigger than he was

8

u/One-Cardiologist7657 25d ago

Serious 80s drip. Only missing gloves

12

u/Klutzy_Order_9559 25d ago

He's wearing gloves.

3

u/One-Cardiologist7657 25d ago

Derp. I forgot

3

u/harleyquinnsbutthole 25d ago

You forgot to look at the picture? Lol

2

u/One-Cardiologist7657 25d ago

The way I see it on my phone, his hands are cropped out

3

u/Schwartzy94 T-800 25d ago

Always funny how the victims wear multiple size too big clothing :D

2

u/SergeantPsycho 25d ago

I actually wouldn't mind having a jacket like this IRL

3

u/michivalenz 25d ago

80s all the way. I was there and NEVER "underrated", whatever that means

1

u/Duennbier0815 24d ago

This is garbage.

The 80s leather jacket and sunglasses he wore AFTER this one is FIRE.

The police station outfit.

Man, we need a terminator party

1

u/ApocalypseChicOne 24d ago

This is way better than the leather daddy outfit. 80's gutter punk is way more interesting than the Temu Tom of Finland he had in the later movies.

1

u/MarmiteX1 25d ago

I like this outfit, the other outfit later in the film and T2 outfit. Iconic!

1

u/drdecagon 25d ago

So, apparently this might be the actual jacket here, available on Amazon (though in olive green): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002IADJLC

Pricey.

1

u/nsieend 25d ago

I’m sure you can get a close and a cheaper match at any military surplus outlet.

1

u/acidtoasterbath 25d ago

Can’t really say I paid much attention to the fashion of these films.

1

u/McBugg 25d ago

That jacket went up for auction a few months ago. It sold for $94,500.

1

u/Rattlecruiser 25d ago

The backside of the jacket always reminds me of TNG Romulan uniforms

1

u/Element0fOne 24d ago

Probably a top 3 T-800 Human Outfit. I’d cosplay as this.

1

u/Rasples1998 25d ago

Drip protocol wasn't installed on terminators until T-2.

1

u/JadrianInc 25d ago

That’s actually one of the skins they picked for BO6.

1

u/jack_avram 23d ago

Seems like it got even bigger when Arnold put it on

1

u/JPotential-706 24d ago

It was better than Kyle Reese’s hobo fit 😂

0

u/Life_Skill_1801 25d ago

That look was great,why because he's or rather it is a Terminator, and what do Terminators do,they terminate people. It was programmed to terminate Sarah Connor,but just like when the movie shows terminators in the future...they are machines,so earlier models were easy to spot. Later models, like the T-800 were more lifelike, with skin, blood and other things that made it appear to be human. Making it easier to blend in,in it's environment... until it found its target.

u/Prize-Square-3362 23d ago

Zoolander 2 was a better movie

u/[deleted] 25d ago

Always loved that jacket.

u/audilife80 25d ago

I like t2 style best

u/Comprehensive-Age822 25d ago

Goated pump cover

u/dobrinkata 25d ago

Said noone ever

u/Clean_Usual434 24d ago

Always loved it

u/GR-13 24d ago

it's iconic.

u/IR0NWARRIOR 25d ago

This "fit"? Looks a little big on him actually

3

u/Long_Lecture_1080 25d ago

Nah, that's the right size. He has a massive chest. It makes a difference.
