Arnold also trained himself to not flinch when firing a gun for these movies.

[–]r_Dubwc 7 points8 points ago

I also believe he never actually killed anyone in the second/third movie, he wasn't a big fan of murder.

Don't have a source, just remember it being on reddit.

[–]RedSharkRedShark 13 points14 points ago

This is correct. He wanted to play only good guy roles because of his kid. Killed a bunch of people in the first one.

[–]WalterFStarbuck 8 points9 points ago

You couldn't really avoid it in the first one. He's supposed to be a robotic killing machine hell bent on killing Sarah Connor. If anyone gets in your way you kill it -- no messing around. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until she is dead.

In T2 and T3, he was sent back as an aid to John Connor. And John's first rule was no killing. But in terms of what Arnold wanted for the character that's probably the outcome of his choices, not the inspiration.

As an aside, I want to see Ridley Scott or James Cameron make a prequel to the first Terminator (oddly enough as a sequel to Salvation) like Scott is doing with Prometheus. Close the loop, finish the story with badass glory in full Rated R and send Kyle Reese on his last mission to save Sarah Connor.

[–]HappyRage 1 point2 points ago

I laughed hysterically at the part with an exact quote from T1. I love that movie.

As for a prequel (or sequel?), I'm pretty sure they're already lined up to do one with Christian Bale? Last I heard he was contracted for 2 movies, but I could be wrong. It's been months since I've heard that.

[–]Accelerator -2 points-1 points ago

Considering how mediocre Prometheus turned out to be I would prefer if they just left it alone.

[–]r_Dubwc 1 point2 points ago

Mediocre? But but but! I really want to see Prometheus, also I have seen none of the Alien/Predator movies.

[–]Wolfman87 0 points1 point ago

Oh man. You're missing out! Movie marathon for the alien movies for sure. The only predator movie I thought was terribly good was the first though.

[–]Accelerator 0 points1 point ago

If you've never seen any Alien films you will probably like it, possibly even love it. It is a quality Sci-fi film. It's just not as a good as it could have been. The manuscript is not very good and it ruins a lot of the mystery that surrounds the Alien films.

[–]Quatroking 2 points3 points ago

And then he went into politics.

[–]TheBrainofBrian 43 points44 points ago

When I was a kid, i took the chain guard off of my bike and would ride around pretending it was a shotgun and I was the terminator.

[–]CorporatePsychopath 21 points22 points ago

When I was a kid, I'd ride around on my motorbike and shoot trucks with my shotgun and pretend I was the Terminator.

[–]phreeck 14 points15 points ago

When I was a terminator I'd ride around on my motorbike and shoot trucks with my shotgun and pretend I was a kid.

[–]rewddit 14 points15 points ago

Potentially painful piece of trivia associated with this...

James Cameron says in the commentary how Arnold accidentally picked up the wrong shotgun and tried to flip cock it and nearly broke three fingers.

(From imfdb)

Makes me cringe a little each time I see it now.

I always wondered if you could really cock a shotgun like this.

Shot my chicken coop, dick

[–]mortarnpistol 7 points8 points ago

That seems incredibly dangerous. Maybe I'm just overly cautious, but I'm never comfortable having a loaded gun pointed at me, for any given amount of time.

Edit - Though it was a cool video. I don't care if strangers do it, but I don't think I'll be trying it any time soon!

[–]king_of_the_universe 2 points3 points ago

That seems incredibly dangerous.

Indeed, and this makes the Terminator do it in the movie even cooler / amplify the character.

[–]mortarnpistol 0 points1 point ago

Oh I agree. Great fucking movie!

[–][deleted] ago

[–]fancy-chips 3 points4 points ago

I heard this too. It must have been on some "how they made the movie" thing in the 1990s

[–]wake_n_bake 0 points1 point ago

what, like sawing the stock off and having an enlarged lever?

[–]TheSpiffySpaceman 2 points3 points ago

Yup, only a lever action though, so no semi/break action/pump shotguns. It's still obviously ill-advised to do so, and lever-action shotguns are pretty much collector's items nowadays. Eeeeyup

[–]anotherDocObVious 2 points3 points ago

Maybe /r/guns could help!?

**Edit* - I asked the question there - let's wait for the responses*

[–]BreakRulesGetCoins 0 points1 point ago

oh it's possible, it's also unsafe.

[–]the2belo 74 points75 points ago

I prefer the one where you're shown what he's shooting at.

Fucking brats had it coming.

[–]CSec064 2 points3 points ago

I laughed.

Horrible.

[–]thizzbog 2 points3 points ago

Whats the other stuff from?

[–]the2belo 8 points9 points ago

Uwe Boll's Postal.

[–]Hugs_n_Nugs 9 points10 points ago

fuckin Uwe Boll, man. guy's nuts

[–]goal2004 5 points6 points ago

Postal was actually surprisingly good. Possibly the only movie he made that was true to its game source.

[–]usingpond 6 points7 points ago

I'VE FINALLY FOUND YOU!!!

The one guy who likes Uwe Boll! You deserve a... I don't know, something. Wrestling tape collection?

[–]goal2004 5 points6 points ago

I don't know why you would assume that by liking one of his movies I liked the director or the rest of his work. I think he was a good sport in this movie, but otherwise he sucks.

[–]blyndside 0 points1 point ago

You mean to tell me you don't think the Bloodrayne trilogy wasn't one of the greatest cinematic masterpieces of our time?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

His other movies suck. Postal was good with some herbal aid.

[–]biokem 5 points6 points ago

I had a pump shotgun like this when I was a kid, it was a cap gun I think. I really wrecked my hands/wrist trying to do this. Not as easy as it seems.

[–]JRutterbush 4 points5 points ago

There's a special loop that you have to attach to the shotgun to do it smoothly like that. It's a lot easier when you have the loop, as a normal level isn't designed to spin, it's designed to fit rather closely to your fingers. You could lose a few of those trying to flip it like that without the right modification.

[–]osik 3 points4 points ago

I had a lever action bb gun when I first saw this movie. First thing I did after seeing it was run out and tried it. I also nearly broke several fingers.

[–]rocky6501 19 points20 points ago

Rooster Cogburn did it first.

[–]chukklhed 5 points6 points ago

Don't forget Lucas McCain in The Rifleman

[–]rocky6501 1 point2 points ago

NICE!!! I willingly pass the trophy on to you, sire.

[–]chukklhed 1 point2 points ago

[–]rocky6501 1 point2 points ago

Ah, jeez...

[–]pdmcmahon 5 points6 points ago

Yeah, the John Wayne version too, not that I didn't think the remake was great, but come on, the Fucking Duke!

[–]rocky6501 0 points1 point ago

One of the Duke's finest moments. I was really hoping to see the rifleflip in the new version, but they left it out. Too Terminator-2-ey I guess...

[–]Dingfresh 4 points5 points ago

You need to look up an old TV series called The Rifleman.

[–]PaiMei 8 points9 points ago

Paired with GnR - You Could Be Mine, this is the perfect scene of action movie badassery.

[–]SomebodyLostAnEye 4 points5 points ago

[–]pdmcmahon 2 points3 points ago

He makes an excellent point, keep the film simple and free of special FX, then the story focuses more on the characters.

[–]Abscheu 3 points4 points ago

Ok, this may sound a bit dense, but what is he doing here? Spinning the rifle and cocking it at the same time or is the spin superfluous?

[–]foley316 18 points19 points ago

It is a lever action shotgun. The lever on the bottom of the gun pulled down ejects the spent shell and loads another round when pulled back up. Arnold is essentially doing that motion with one hand. Flipping it over while holding the lever ejects the shell and using the rotation to put it back up loads another round. If you've ever watched a western you've seen lever action rifles. This is essentially the same mechanism just in short barrel shotgun form.

[–]Abscheu 7 points8 points ago

ANd now I upvote you into reverse-oblivion for having a succinct and knowledgeable reply.

[–]baltimoresports 3 points4 points ago

How did this franchise go so wrong? T3 wasn't terrible but it's hard to top two of the best sci-fi movies of all time.

[–]gentleman_brown 4 points5 points ago

Part of it was the movie logic was twisted into a knot by the third film.

[–]CocoSavege 5 points6 points ago

I would like to give props to Sarah Connor Chronicles. It got cancelled when it was getting really interesting.

[–]Up-The-Butt_Jesus 1 point2 points ago

James Cameron only directed the first two.

[–]kengou 1 point2 points ago

T3 was pretty bad.

T4 however was solid, until the ending (too much refrigerator logic to count).

[–]WhoFan 4 points5 points ago

I completely disagree about T4. It was atrocious - considering what it could have and should have been. It seemed like a movie they just tossed a couple ideas together and said: 'sure, that'll work' and made it. They should have sat on it for a LONG time and mulled it over - fleshing it out to be Actually be a solid movie.

[–]DiamondAge 1 point2 points ago

This may be a huge rumor, and I can't substantiate it, but I've heard that john connor wasn't supposed to be a major character in the movie. The basic gist of the script was that skynet wasn't killing all humans, it was transferring the consciousnesses of the people it deemed worthy into immortal android bodies.

Then Christian Bale came in and said he wanted to be John Connor, so they underwent massive rewrites to give John Connor screen time. This was rushed, and really botched the story.

[–]Snapples 0 points1 point ago

after seeing T4, I had a theory that John Connor is actually a reprogrammed variant of the human/terminator bot from T4, my only evidence being that he can hack an ATM as a child, clearly a robot capability.

[–]dinoman73 6 points7 points ago

That movie is full of cool ways to pump a shotgun.

[–]MetaGazon 2 points3 points ago

SMALLLLLLERRRRRRRR!!!!

[–]Elrox 4 points5 points ago

It used to be, but I prefer this one now

[–]Nadie_AZ 1 point2 points ago

It's like Legolas mounting the horse in The Two Towers.

Yeah, moments like that are awesome.

[–]guitarhero23 1 point2 points ago

This is my favorite reload of a gun in any movie (cocking of the gun). You know what I mean.

[–]stash0606 1 point2 points ago

fuck yes! that's all I gotta say. gawd, what a film to watch as a kid.

[–]brilliantNumberOne 1 point2 points ago

Just like the part immediately after where he takes that shit off a huge dropoff.

[–]WarioThrillho 1 point2 points ago

Fuck yeah

[–]aurahack 1 point2 points ago

I just saw T2 for the first time the other day. Fucking blew my mind. It's like, the perfect action movie.

[–]SupaFly98 3 points4 points ago

Ahhh. I miss those akimbo model 1887s.

[–]Iwokeupwithoutapillo 1 point2 points ago

"Miss?" You can still buy them.

[–]chikoo 0 points1 point ago

pretty sure he's talkin about modern warfare 2 and the akimbo 1887s, likely before the update that cut their range down. haha

[–]TwasARockLobsta 0 points1 point ago

Oh god, the memories. I quit playing until they patched the game to fix 'em. Just...unstoppable.

[–]DumplingSawce 19 points20 points ago

The dude's hand probably weighs about 400lbs.

[–]tboner6969 10 points11 points ago

now explain how the motorcycle is able to support that weight

[–]philmardok 45 points46 points ago

with a seat

[–]tboner6969 -5 points-4 points ago

now explain how the seat and the frame that supports the seat is able to support the weight of the terminator while seated on that very seat (and still be able to ride).

[–]RobertPaulsonProject 25 points26 points ago

A T-800 series terminator with skin weighs about 800 lbs, a large motorcycle has a weight limit of about 600 lbs.

It's not IMPOSSIBLE for the terminator to ride such a vehicle, although it would clearly be under stress the whole time. However, it is important to take into account the terminators ability to balance itself with supercomputer speed calculations and frictionless joint self adjustments.

[–]yer_momma 2 points3 points ago

I've seen some fat bikers with their even fatter women riding on the back. The weight limit for harleys must be quite high.

[–]DumplingSawce 4 points5 points ago

uhhh... its designed to hold... fat people?

[–]Describe 5 points6 points ago

Who's the real hero?

That whole films coolness factor gets me every-time. Apart from that fucking annoying squeaky boy who plays John Connor, it physically hurts when he speaks.

[–]direbowels 0 points1 point ago

The lack of recoil gets me every time.

[–]RFWorks 1 point2 points ago

Fuck recoil.

[–]JRutterbush 8 points9 points ago

Robot. Arms are literally made of metal. He'd need a full-on cannon to feel any recoil.

[–]RFWorks 0 points1 point ago

I see, totally forgot, yet then how is he on that motorcycle so elegantly?

[–]Iwokeupwithoutapillo 3 points4 points ago

He's a Terminator, not just any robot.

[–]JRutterbush 2 points3 points ago

For how he can ride the cycle so well: gyro-stabilizers and a supercomputer.

For how the motorcycle can hold up his weight: Hollywood. That, or he stole a custom-made high-weight-capacity motorcycle.

[–]wake_n_bake 0 points1 point ago

the guy he stole it from was pretty fat, probably had a fat bitch too.

[–]akwardgunman -5 points-4 points ago
