Trivialidades:

Most of the car chase scenes were shot at normal speed and sped up slightly. To add more of a sense of speed, other cars rode along with them out of frame with revolving lights attached to them that made it seem like the car was passing other light sources faster.

Goofs:

Crew or equipment visible: When the Terminator is rising to his feet after getting blasted out the window, a production vehicle and a huge stage light are visible behind him.

Quotes:

[first lines]
[the garbage truck's engine stops]
Truck Driver: What the hell? Goddamn son of a bitch...

This is the movie that made a big break through for sci-fi movies!!!!

This was such an excellent movie. It had excellent effects (for it's time and $$$). I saw this movie very young and grew up to love it more and more. It has action, scary scenes, romance, a powerful plot, and a curious out-look to the future. I have to say, this was when James Cameron was a genious. And had excellent ideas. This was definatly one of the movies of the eighties. And I got the DVD when it came out, the DVD deserves a 9/10. As for this movie alone:

10/10

If you want to know what it's about: A machine/terminator and a soldier from the future is sent from 2029 back to 1984. The soldier's purpose, to protect a woman who will give birth to a brave hero in the future. And the terminator's purpose, to destroy the woman who will give birth to an enemy(the protector's hero, if you didn't know)to him and his leader. In the mean time it's a matter of defeating the terminator so this woman can survive and save the future. And the rest you'll have to see for yourself.

WATCH THIS MOVIE!!! It is soooooo good!!!!
