The Terminator is a low-budget miracle, with certain scenes done using sophisticated front projection and others just shot with James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger breaking windows in an alley without a crew or insurance. It emerged from the slasher-movie economy and rewrote the rules of movies in a way that makes it feel inevitable\u2014they teach Terminator in screenwriting courses, Stan Winston worked on every good effects movie between 1984 and the release of the first Iron Man, and Arnold became a megastar.<\/p>\n

His performance is full of little grace notes no one else has ever really managed as a robot, like the way his eyes move before his head does. As mentioned above, Schwarzenegger was influenced by Yuul Brynner’s unstoppable Westworld death-golem, along with Clint Eastwood’s minimalist line delivery.

The mechanical skeleton marching out of a fire, an image that came to Cameron in a fever dream while he was filming the doomed B-movie Piranha 2 in Jamaica, is iconic and justifiably one of the most ripped-off scenes in movie…<\/p>\n
