this billion dollar franchise has
inspired video games comics novels TV
shows and amusement park attractions
above all else terminator is a textbook
example of how action movies can be so
much more than shootouts and explosions
while the series has indeed showcased
some of the most iconic set pieces and
game-changing effects in cinematic
history
it’s the meaningful themes multi-layered
characters and fascinating lore that
keep us coming back although James
Cameron stands by piranhas to the
spawning as quote the best flying
piranha movie ever made his feature
directorial debut didn’t exactly make a
splash with critics or audiences
nevertheless piranhas – played an
essential role in launching Cameron’s
career while working on the film in
Italy he had a dream in which a chrome
torso dragged itself out of an explosion
with kitchen knives the dream stuck with
Cameron as he drew further inspiration
from films like Halloween the driver and
Mad Max – culminating in a script
entitled The Terminator
producer Gale Anne Hurd purchased the
rights to the Terminator from Cameron
for only $1 heard also made some
significant contributions to the
screenplay which centered on a cyborg
sent back in time from 2029 to
assassinate Sarah Connor the mother of
mankind’s eventual Savior to protect
Sarah a human soldier named Kyle Reese
is also sent back to guarantee John
Connor is born the project soon found a
home at Orion Pictures with Linda
Hamilton as Sarah and Michael Biehn as
Kyle Reese several big names had been
suggested to play the t800 including Mel
Gibson Sylvester Stallone and Mike’s OJ
Simpson Cameron saw the most potential
in Austrian bodybuilder turned actor
Arnold Schwarzenegger who was originally
considered for the role of Reese
although Schwarzenegger previously
starred as the titular hero in Conan the
Barbarian
it was the Terminator that elevated him
to superstar status Schwarzenegger was
not only physically imposing in the role
but his distinctive delivery made the
t800 an immediate screen icon I’ll be
back
likewise the film put Cameron on the map
as both a director and storyteller the
Terminator was one of the most violent
films to come out of the 80s with the
t800 s assault on a police station
having echoes of real-life mass
shootings at the same time the film had
an affectionate love story at its core
revealing early signs of Cameron’s
ability to balance action and emotion
grossing almost 80 million dollars on a
budget of 6.4 million the Terminator was
among 1984 is most surprising commercial
successes
[Music]
although the film left the door open for
a sequel Cameron wouldn’t revisit the
franchise for several years while this
was due in part to the franchise’s
rights being up in the air Cameron’s
biggest concern was that the technology
available hadn’t caught up to his vision
after directing 1989’s The Abyss however
Cameron was given the assurance needed
to create the shape-shifting t1000 for
the original terminator Cameron actually
envisioned two cyborgs being sent back
in time one of which would be made of
liquid metal of course
Cameron revisited these concepts in 1991
with Terminator 2 Judgment Day you just
can’t go around killing people why what
do you mean why cuz you can’t why
because you just can’t okay trust me on
this released by Tristar pictures t2 was
praised for its integration of seamless
practical effects and revolutionary
computer graphics between the
death-defying motorcycle chase and the
heart-pounding climax it quickly
developed a reputation as one of the
greatest sci-fi action movies ever made
if not the best what’s more it’s still
regarded as a rare sequel that improves
upon its predecessor expanding upon the
premise with new twists innovations and
characters the film marked a charismatic
debut from Edward Furlong as a young
John Connor and a chilling turn from
Robert Patrick as the t1000 as Sarah
Connor Linda Hamilton transformed from a
scared yet capable woman to an
all-around badass becoming a feminist
Schwarzenegger went through a major
transformation as well evolving from
Sarah’s worst nightmare to her sworn
protector although The Terminator films
are largely about the dangers of
Technology the bond Arnolds t800
develops with the Connors also
demonstrates the value of artificial
intelligence suggesting that morality
can be found even in a machine
but it’s something I can never do
becoming the highest-grossing film of
1991 and winning four Academy Awards t
to set a new standard for the franchise
that sadly would never be topped while
Cameron teased another terminator for
years he ultimately chose not to direct
or even produce Terminator 3 rise of the
machines nevertheless Cameron did advise
Swartz and Egger to return for the
long-awaited sequel shifting the focus
to an adult John Connor following his
mother’s death the film revealed the
Judgment Day wasn’t stopped but merely
postponed from August 29th 1997 to July
25th 2004 the attack began at 6:18 p.m.
just as he said it would Judgment Day
the day the human race was nearly
destroyed by the weapons they’d built to
protect themselves
this development left many fans divided
and the same can be said about the film
on the whole despite being a financial
success Terminator 3 grossed 17% less
than its predecessor which came out 12
years earlier it did however provide a
few memorable action set pieces
including an epic moment in which the
t800 mows down a SWAT team with a
machine gun while transporting John
the positive reviews did outweigh the
negative ones but critics and audiences
were generally uncertain if this
franchise really needed to continue when
t2 ended on just the right note you mean
we just go run and hide somewhere in a
hole while the bombs fall it is your
destiny
the film’s legacy would largely hinge on
how the following installments performed
with Schwarzenegger becoming the
governador of California in 2003 though
it was unlikely he’d play a major role
in Terminator Salvation which hit
theaters in 2009 while CGI was used to
integrate Schwarzenegger facial likeness
into the film he was otherwise absent as
were several other actors from
Terminator 3 Terminator Salvation not
only grossed less than the previous two
films but also earned the franchise’s
worst reviews to date with critics
arguing that the story took a backseat
to the action fortunately for fans of
big bombastic action scenes salvation
does manage to deliver with Paramount
Pictures now acting as a distributor
2015’s Terminator Genisys literally took
the series back to its roots altering
the timeline from 1984 onward although
the premise received a hesitant response
from fans the return of Arnold
Schwarzenegger and even an endorsement
from Cameron piqued their interest
unfortunately Genesis was heavily
criticized for its nonsensical plot and
questionable casting choices amounting
to worse reviews than salvation that
being said it did deliver a few
memorable moments namely the t800
holding another terminator in falling
even though it became the franchise’s
second highest-grossing outing worldwide
plans for a trilogy were once again
terminated
there’s no fate but what we make for
ourselves and it appears James Cameron
is taking the franchise’s fate back into
his own hands
regaining the rights to the series in
2019 it was announced that Cameron would
oversee Tim Miller’s untitled Terminator
film retconning everything that
transpired after the events of t2 the
film will see Linda Hamilton reprised
her role as Sarah Connor and Arnold
Schwarzenegger playing the human on
which the t800 was based whatever the
future holds for the Terminator
franchise the first two films will
continue to shape the landscapes of both
the action and sci-fi showers with their
quotable one-liners immortal imagery and
ideas concerning the nature of humanity
