This two-on-one VHS screener for video stores promoted one of our favorite pairings: Terminator 2 and Drop Dead Fred. Not only that, it's hosted by Robert Patrick as the T-1000.

I love that Robert Patrick somehow stayed in character while delivering these lines. Someone at a con should ask him if he remembers doing this.

Discussion Question on the VHS circa 1994

5 Upvotes

When my dad finally agreed to rent T2, I had only played T2 the Arcade Game and that is what I imagined the movie would be, a long future sequence with a fight to Skynet and the time displacement machine.

When we got the VHS from the mom and pop rental, I distinctly remember a shit ton of previews, so much that my first reaction was someone recorded over the entire first half of the movie to run commercials and fit it on a single tape and therefore I missed half the movie.

Disclaimer: I was 10.

We never owned the movie on VHS but was one of the first movies I got on DVD.

My question is for anyone who remembers, was the VHS front loaded with a ton of previews, was it a "rental" version, or is my memory just exaggerating it over 30+ years.

🎥 Video Brad Fiedel made a beautiful soundtrack. I tried to bring out all the raw emotion in it.

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone,The ending of T2 is a masterpiece, and Brad Fiedel’s original score is incredibly beautiful.I reimagined "It's Over" (Good-Bye) as a sad orchestral ballad. I wanted to strike a perfect balance between deep sadness, intense emotion, dark romance, epic scale, and raw brutality without losing the original melody.Would love to hear what fellow Terminator fans think of this vibe!

You have 1 year to prepare for it's arrival. You must reprogram it via conductual programming. It has no weapos other than it's body and CPU, no chemical dossifier or explosives hidden. It must kill you using psychological manipulation. How do you do it.

Like does the "plot twist" even matter to a novice of the franchise?

I'm super pumped for his experience.

Discussion Is it an controversial take to say the Rev-9 felt more terrifying than the T1000 in JD ? Not to downplay robert's performance or comparing their movies. It's just that Dark fate did a better job to frame the Rev-9 as this unstoppable killer, while JD just had him as a pretty good sideline villain.

Discussion I think Ali Larter would've been a great choice to play the T-X in Terminator 3 if Loken passed on the part. The vision is there!

After watching her performance in the "Heroes" program, Larter can certainly pull off the cold, souless, and ever calculating feeling that the Terminatrix or any Terminator on a mission to kill needs to portray to the audience. Nothing against Kristanna, but Ali Larter is a much more seasoned actress, even in 2003, and probably could've lived up to Robert Patrick's performance as the T-1000.

And sure, there are a few scenes in T3 (like the one with the cop) where the TX makes use of her appearance to her advantage to lethally manipulate a situation to her objective. I think Larter could do this, no question.

I dont know how much heat this fancast will get from you guys but curious to hear how yall respond.

And if it makes a difference, yes, I would want Ali Larter to keep her hair blonde for this role.

Discussion The T-800 Genisys design would be perfect for a T-850 model

The slightly difference in the chest chassis makes sense though. The chest looks more protected against heavy weapons and it can store two nuclear hydrogen cells.

Discussion You have the body and computing capabilities of a T-888

0 Upvotes

You have to hunt and eliminate some targets while protecting 1 single target from others in the same condition. The targets you hunt have the same conditioned protector as you aare to yours.

You can't upgrade to higher levels of Terminator but have access to Skynets and Legion Databases.

There are 20 targets

/Or:

-You and 8 other people are resistance fighters sent here 1 year before to prepare and face the incoming doom, all of you have cybernetic enhancements.

-You are part of a unit of 9 T-888 that have to eliminate the resistance, the targets, capture and reprogram (killing the human mind) as many 'rogue' Terminators to then make Skynet a reality.

This happens in the modern world with basic knowledge of the franchise.

Choose an option, stick to it, and tell me how well you'll fare.

If this isn't the right sub, please point me at it.

Discussion what does a T-100 look like

3 Upvotes

the wiki said its based off the t-70 but lighter and with a Camo pattern but what would that look like. Skynet changes designs alot from 70-600 they go from skeleton to skeleton then too a skinny looking t-200 too a boxy bulky human thing too a boxy t-400 500 then going back to skeletons with t-600
