and today we’re counting down our picks
for the top ten coolest terminator facts
you want to do this is irrelevant for
this list we’ve looked at the entire
Terminator franchise and collected the
most interesting and impressive facts
surrounding the series you are
terminated number 10
Linda and Leslie Hamilton
modern audiences might believe that the
seeing double scenes with Sarah Connor
in Judgment Day are the product of early
CGI or a complicated least subtle hair
and makeup process however the truth is
that what we see is actually two
different people leading cast member
Linda Hamilton actually starred in
certain scenes including the playground
dream sequence alongside her identical
twin sister Leslie the Sarah Connor
sisters are doing it for themselves
number nine man’s best friend cyborg
style not a man-machine Tom man the
first Terminator film put James Cameron
on the moviemaking map but it may not
have done that had the director not been
so adamantly against some production
company suggestions he’s saying it’s
from the future perhaps the dumbest of
these ideas was to incorporate a cyborg
dog into the Terminator film somebody
behind the scenes believed that Kyle
Reese should arrive from the future with
a robotic pet pooch what’s the dog’s
name
every dog may have his day but happily
this one didn’t but I thought aren’t we
changing things I mean right now
changing the way it goes
number eight The Terminator was nearly
taken to court what did he just say he
said there’s a storm coming in okay so
Android Arne himself wasn’t personally
sued but the Terminator movie landed
itself in a lot of legal hot water
sci-fi speculative fiction writer Harlan
Ellison felt as though the film borrowed
way too heavily from his own work
specifically two episodes of the second
season to his early 60s TV series the
Outer Limits
an argument settled out of court in the
end Kamerion has subsequently referred
to Ellison as quote a parasite but the
former got his name featured on the
movies and credits anyway he’s got the
third fingers of the glass hand grab it
as soon as it solidifies in case
something goes wrong with the
transmission number seven James Cameron
almost wasn’t trusted to direct that a
film that ultimately proved the vital
first step in James Cameron’s career
1984 is the Terminator almost wasn’t
entrusted to the Canadian filmmaker at
all get-out Cameron wrote the screenplay
but the now celebrated storyteller was
only prepared to sell to a production
company that would allow him to direct
largely inexperienced in feature film a
deal proved exceptionally difficult to
strike it can’t be bargained with it
can’t be reasoned with
it doesn’t feel pity or remorse
eventually however Cameron teamed up
with hemdale Pictures and Orion Pictures
was given an extremely modest budget of
around 6.5 million dollars and was able
to make sci-fi movie history
number six Edward furlongs voice
problems okay making his acting debut
for Terminator 2 Edward Furlong was just
13 years old when cast in judgement day
child film star or not however furlong
still had a lot of growing up to do and
that caused a lot of problems during
production
what’s wrong with Wolfie I can hear him
barking furlongs voice broke while
filming meaning that the majority of his
scenes had to be redubbed in the name of
consistency a process that delayed the
movie’s completion further still it was
still a sequel well worth the wait
you’re not here to kill me I figured
that part out for myself
so what’s the deal my mission is to
protect you number five no one wanted to
make the Terminator go The Terminator
franchise may be one of the most
groundbreaking series of films in motion
picture history but not everyone saw the
potential from day one it’s definitely
you Mel Gibson famously turned down the
chance to play the title character while
one OJ Simpson was in the running but
was perhaps ironically considered
unbelievable as a killer we the jury in
the above-entitled action find the
defendant Orenthal James Simpson not
guilty of the crime of murder behind the
camera there were considerable doubts as
well Studios repeatedly said no to the
scripts and even the directors agent
hated the idea look it may take a while
wanna wait there’s a bench over there
number four the catchphrase that might
have been I’m a friend of Sarah Connor I
was told that she’s here could I see oh
please can’t see her she’s making a
statement these films offer their fair
share of catchphrases but the one that
stands out most famously might never
have been mouthed at all
Arnie’s iconic I’ll be back was
originally mused
as I’ll come back and also I will be
back on account of Schwarzenegger
struggling to pronounce aisle three
phrases with very similar meanings the
slightest of changes can make all the
difference
I’ll be back I’ll come back might never
have been constantly parodied in
playgrounds and offices worldwide I’ll
be back
definitely was and in fact still is I’m
almost out I’ll be back
you’ve been back enough I’ll be back
number three the John Connor curse
essentially the idea in our next entry
is that everyone who plays John Connor
is destined to suffer some form of bad
luck post filming this is John Connor
Edward Furlong took on the role 42
before battling drug abuse and
alcoholism for years afterward just put
up your hand and say swear I won’t kill
anyone the same fate befell t threes
Nick Stahl who was often seen in and
around la Skid Row after rise of the
machines this is John Connor crystal
peach even established Hollywood
superstar Christian Bale couldn’t
entirely avoid the curse footage of him
violently swearing at the film crew was
leaked alongside Terminator Salvation
why are you thrashing my scene you are
trashing my scene you do it one more
time
and ain’t walking on the set if you’re
still hired Jason Clarke good luck
hey look at each of you and I see the
marks of this long and terrible war
number two nothing is too dangerous for
James Cameron
every director has to be entirely
dedicated to his or her movie if it’s
ever going to succeed but with T to
James Cameron took a few more risks than
most during the climactic helicopter
chase scene Cameron’s film crew refused
to shoot part of the sequence because of
the incredible danger involved we need
your truck unperturbed the director took
up the reins himself and personally
pressed record had Cameron not had the
courage we would never have had the shot
before we unveil our top pick here are
some honorable mentions
shifting Samus is good after cover by
signing this consent form
you’d be donating your party to a noble
cause I know now why you cry but it’s
something I can never do I need your
clothes your boots and your motorcycle
who sent you
you did 35 years from now you
reprogrammed me to be your protector
here in this time
number one the Terminator is a dream
come true
as the popular saying goes when in Rome
do as the Romans do when James Cameron
visited the Italian capital however he
did the exact opposite unless everybody
else in the city was daydreaming about a
futuristic robotic Armageddon which we
highly doubt the idea 41 came into the
director’s mind quite suddenly while he
was laid up with sickness in Europe for
most images of destruction and
unstoppable machines would only make you
sicker for Cameron they signaled the
start of something really special I am
NOT stupid you know they cannot make
things like that yet not yet not for
about 40 years do you agree with our
list
see you don’t really care if this
mission succeeds or not which Terminator
fact do you find the coolest why do you
cry for more futuristic top 10s
